"Father." Li Jiancheng's heart was heavy, and the pressure Li Yuan was facing these days could also be seen.

"At this time, I'm afraid that there will be a commotion in Daxing City a long time ago!" With the support of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan walked out of the big tent, looked at the big tent in the distance, and said, "Erlang, what is he doing now?" ”

"There is a scholar by the Weihe River who came to join us, called Fang Xuanling, who was called by the second brother, and now I'm afraid I'm chatting happily!" Li Jiancheng explained: "The second brother's favorite thing is to contact those scholars. ”

"I have heard of Fang Xuanling, he is a student of Gao Xiaoji, and speaking of which, he also has a good relationship with Du Ruhui under Li Xin. is for confidants and friends, but I didn't expect that Du Ruhui took refuge in Li Xin, but he took refuge in us. Li Yuan shook his head and said.

"Father, what's here?" Li Jiancheng said with some hesitation.

"No, it won't." Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are different, Fang Xuanling was born in a family and doesn't look down on Li Xin, so he didn't defect to Li Xin like Du Ruhui, and when Li Xin grows stronger, he may have a heart, but he can't let go of face." That's why they found us, after all, we are the only ones who can play against Li Xin in Guanzhong. ”

"That Fang Xuanling is nothing more than that." Li Jiancheng shook his head, he was not interested in this kind of speculative literati, and even had a trace of disdain. Now everyone knows that under Li Xin's command, the most valued is Du Ruhui, as a classmate Fang Xuanling, who is much worse in this regard.

"Those guys in the city must be happy now, they let us fight with Li Xin, and now it's finally here." Li Yuan looked at the city wall in the distance, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain, whether it was the Guan Long family or the acting king, Wei Xuan and others, they were not taken to heart by Li Yuan, as long as they entered the city, these families. It's not that you have to surrender to your own feet, and it's almost impossible to control the government like you did back then. Li Yuan believes that Li Xin also thinks the same way, in the early days of the army, Li Yuan may attach importance to the role of the Guanlong family, but after that, it is to weaken these families.

"Da Lang, I suddenly want to meet Daxing City. Let's go, come with me to see. Li Yuan suddenly became interested, and after three clicks and two clicks, he finished eating the rice in the bowl, and led Li Jiancheng out of the camp.

In the camp of the right army, Li Shimin's face showed joy, and opposite him sat a middle-aged Confucian student, who was Fang Xuanling, who was friends with Du Ruhui, just when Li Yuan's army entered Guanzhong. He personally met Li Shimin by the Wei River, and his profound insight made Li Shimin very respectful.

"Second son, although our army has the upper hand in the current situation, Li Xin's soldiers and horses are not bad. Fang Qiao thought that in the end, the two sides could only maintain the situation in front of them. Fang Xuanling analyzed: "Although Li Xin doesn't like this person Fang Qiao, I have to admit that this person is still very good at using soldiers. His soldiers and horses have been on the battlefield for a long time, and even the Turks can't beat him, and our soldiers and horses are probably no match for him. ”

"That being the case. Why does Sir think that we will end up in a stalemate in this situation? Although Li Shimin didn't like it a little, he had to admit that what Fang Xuanling said was reasonable, in terms of the army, Li Jiajun was still inferior to the Western Army.

"That's the support of the Maison. Tang Guogong has the support of the family, which is enough for Tang Guogong to temporarily gain the upper hand. Fang Xuanling pointed to Daxing City in the distance and said: "Tang Guogong's soldiers and horses are stationed outside the city, and the families in the city will definitely find a way to let Tang Guogong enter, as long as they enter the city, the matter will be half successful." ”

"The Guanlong family?" Li Shimin shook his head disdainfully and said: "Although I don't like Li Xin, I have to admit that Li Xin's understanding in this regard is still very correct, and the Guan Long family will be weakened sooner or later." They can betray the Great Sui, and they can also betray us, we must meet their conditions, otherwise these people will find a new master, Li Xin is afraid that he has already seen through the problem, so he disdains to unite with the Guanlong family, even the Kanto family. ”

"Second son, you can't underestimate the Kanto family, although the Kanto family is supporting Wang Shichong at the moment, or colluding with Li Mi in private, but if one day, neither party can meet the requirements of the Kanto family, or the overall situation has been decided, these Kanto families will definitely support Li Xin." Fang Xuanling is colorful.

"Is Li Xin's background real?" Li Shimin said with some surprise. Although the world is all about Li Xin's life experience, it is said that it is after the king of Lanling, but whether it is Li Xin or the Bohai Gao family, they have never admitted it.

"That's true, Mr. Gao said it himself." Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "The reason why the two sides did not negotiate is just because the Bohai Gao family is too demanding and the Kanto family is greedy by nature, so Li Xin did not hesitate to refuse the pull of the Kanto family. ”

"I really didn't expect it to be so hidden." Li Shimin said in a low voice.

"Second son, unless something big happens, the situation that the two sides are about to confront each other under Daxing City will not change." Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "Does the second prince know what the most important thing for the army to do right now?" Grain and grass. The army must have plenty of food and grass. What restricts both sides is grain and grass, Li Xin's soldiers and horses come from the northwest, and the northwest itself lacks grain and grass, perhaps Li Xin has long been anti-hearted and has accumulated a large amount of grain and grass, but it is very difficult to transfer grain and grass for thousands of miles, this is a fact that cannot be changed, and the second son can do something in this regard. ”

"What the gentleman said is very true." Li Shimin nodded and said, "Although this method is good, does Mr. know how much grain and grass Li Xin has?" 100,000 troops can eat half a year, from Lanzhou to Daxing, although the road is relatively far, but along the way is Li Xin's territory, grain and grass transfer in addition to the delay is relatively long, it is not so easy to attack the opponent's grain route, our cavalry is less than the other side. ”

"Hehe, the second son is wrong. What Fang Qiao said is not these, whether it is Li Xin or Li Jing, they are all soldiers, how important the grain road is, although we have a lot of soldiers and horses, but there are also many enemies, and the cavalry is far above our army, and it is almost impossible to attack the other party's grain route. Fang Xuanling shook his head with a smile and said: "However, since you can't sneak attack the other party's grain road, then increase your own grain and grass, Tang Guogong has now occupied Yongfeng Cang, but what about around Yongfeng Cang?" There are also two granaries in Changping and Guangtong, there are a lot of grain and grass in them, if they can occupy these two granaries, Tang Guogong will be invincible. ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, after Li Xiaochang led Yongfeng Cang to surrender to Li Yuan, Li Yuan's army no longer had to worry about the grain and grass, Li Yuan not only used these grain and grass to recruit a large number of soldiers, but also got the support of the people in Guanzhong. Because of this, Li Yuan didn't think about other granaries anymore. Now after Fang Xuanling put it forward, Li Shimin suddenly found that while strengthening himself, he was also weakening the enemy.

"Second son, please see, Li Xin is from the northwest, occupying a favorable location, we are in Guanzhong, occupying people, although it is a confrontation, but we have enough grain and grass in hand, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them, and in the end it can only be a way to withdraw troops." Fang Xuanling said seriously.

"Not bad." Li Shimin was very happy to hear it, he originally thought that although Fang Xuanling had a very good reputation and literary talents, he now knew that Fang Xuanling was even more powerful in terms of resourcefulness, and this strategy could completely change the current confrontation situation.

"Have you ever thought about what will happen after you take over the world in the future?" Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin had adopted his own construction, and suddenly felt in his heart that a soldier was dying as a confidant, and said in a low voice: "Second son, from Taiyuan to Daxing, the army led by the second son has made a lot of contributions, this is not as good as the eldest son, the second son, Tang Guogong has the ambition of Lingyun, what will the second son do in the future?" ”

"Naturally, I assisted my father and brother to achieve a great cause." Li Shimin said without thinking.

Fang Xuanling didn't break what Li Shimin thought in his heart, so he shook his head and said: "Li Xin's advantage is that he started from scratch alone, and the generals and subordinates around him are all around Li Xin. ”

"Don't say this kind of thing, first order people to occupy the two granaries of Changping and Guangtong." Li Shimin stopped Fang Xuanling's words and said: "Sir, now in terms of the number of soldiers and horses on both sides, Li Xin's soldiers and horses even have the upper hand, Li Xin killed Tang Bi and defeated Sanniang, and hundreds of thousands of troops were easily defeated by Li Xin. Li Xin's current soldiers and horses are at least about 160,000 to 200,000. He had 60,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters, all of whom fought with the Turks, and had much more combat experience than us. It can only be as Mr. said, using sufficient grain and grass to deal with Li Xin. ”

"There are so many soldiers and horses?" Fang Xuanling's face changed when he heard this, he stood up and said, "Second son, when did Li Xin's army defeat Tang Bi?" ”

"Three days. We received the news three days ago that Li Xin's army had arrived. Li Shimin hurriedly said.

"There are also masters in Li Xinjun! Second son, I'm afraid our plan has to be changed, if I guessed correctly, Li Xin must have sent a large army to attack the two granaries of Changping and Guangtong. Otherwise, Li Xin's army would have already been killed under Daxing City. Fang Xuanling said with some worry: "Second son, we have to find a way, on the one hand, quickly notify the two granary defenders, and on the other hand, quickly attack the Beijing Division, if the granary is lost, we can only rely on the strong city to resist Li Xin's attack." ”

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he said: "Although the two granaries of Changping and Guangtong are in the hands of the imperial court, the people who defend the two granaries are also from the Guanlong family, and it is not so easy for Li Xin to take the granary!" (To be continued......)
