The art of war is cloudy: surprise and attack unprepared.

Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin have fought all their lives and have rich experience, but they didn't expect Qin Huaidao to choose to attack Tubo, and after thinking about it, wouldn't it mean that Tubo couldn't think of it, and he wouldn't be prepared?

The next moment, the two exchanged glances and became excited.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said: "I think it's okay, we can't think of it, and Tubo can't think of it, not to mention that their main army is all transferred away, the rear is empty, and the odds of winning are very high." ”

"Who can fail?" Li Jing asked.

Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "Duan Zan has been incorporated into the special operations army for some days, he must have been familiar with the fighting methods of the special operations army, and he is also familiar with the situation in Tubo, so he took the men and horses of the headquarters as the vanguard, and carried more explosives bags, Luo Tong led 20,000 soldiers and horses to accompany him, leaving more than 10,000 troops and horses to garrison Qitun City, which was in charge of Cheng Chuliang, and in addition, 10,000 soldiers and horses were transferred from the end of the city, led by Cheng Chubi, and followed Luo Tong. ”

Li Jing agreed: "More than 30,000 soldiers and horses will be able to turn the world upside down, but I am afraid that it will not be possible to destroy the country." ”

"Create panic, rob them of their food, and enrich Hanzhou with a population that weakens the strength of Tibet."

"That's no problem, Luo Tong is still not calm enough, or the old man will follow? Fighting Tibet has been the old man's wish for many years. Li Jing took the initiative to ask for battle, his eyes shining.

Qin Huaidao thought carefully for a while, but still shook his head and said: "No, you are old, Tubo is not anywhere else, the plateaus and snow-capped mountains along the way, the climate is harsh, it is very uncomfortable, and there are still many big things waiting for you in Hanzhou." ”

A flash of disappointment flashed on Li Jing's face, but he didn't say anything.

Qin Huaidao saw Li Jing's disappointment, as a pure soldier, who doesn't want to fight on the battlefield? After a hesitation in his heart, he continued: "This way, Shibo, Su Dingfang's Loulan army will go north, take Xizhou and Yinzhou, cut off the Turkic retreat, the climate in the two places is much better than that of Tubo, you should be able to bear it, in addition, in addition to the 50,000 soldiers in Khotan, there are tens of thousands of people who control the strings, you can recruit soldiers, pay the army, the principle of voluntariness, you can't force it, after all, Khotan surrendered to Chengcheng, you must treat it differently, and then form an army, and go west with Brother Xue." ”

"That's a four-sided battle." Li Jing said in surprise.

Cheng Yanjin said indifferently: "What about the four sides? Tubo has no defense, you can be caught off guard, win steadily, the Turkic troops left in Xizhou and Yinzhou in the north will not be too much, and the chances of winning are very good if you break the city gate with explosives packs, as for fighting to the west, the main Turkic force is not there, I'm afraid of a fart, how about handing over the first army requisitioned from Khotan to me? ”

"The battlefield is not child's play, don't talk nonsense." Li Jing scolded.

"Who's talking nonsense? There is no joke in the army, and Lao Tzu can still fight. Cheng Yanjin was not happy.

Qin Huaidao saw that the two were about to quarrel, so he quickly interrupted: "It's okay to have four roads, Tubo is to fight the grass valley, if there is a advantage, take advantage of it, the north is to cut off the retreat of Tubo, the scale of the battle is not large, to the west is also to fight the grass valley, to deter the main force of Tubo to withdraw, the west road is handed over to Brother Xue, Shibo and Su Dingfang all the way, there may be a successor to the mantle, Uncle Cheng, you have to sit in the Hanzhou Palace, and you don't have to worry about handing it over to others here." ”

"Pour me less ecstasy soup." Cheng Yanjin said a little depressedly, seeing Li Jing glaring at him, he suddenly reacted to what the "nonsense" just now meant, the three sons and one daughter in the family have too many masters, and it is really unreasonable to be in charge of another army by himself, even if Qin Huaidao has no opinion, others will have ideas.

Isn't it a mistake to want military power? And he said no more.

Li Jing knew Cheng Biting Jin too well, he would definitely not be able to hold back, as soon as everyone left, no one would restrain him, and he might do something out of the ordinary, so he proposed: "It's better to go to Yumen Pass, as soon as An Guogong leaves, Yumen Pass needs people to guard, once the main Turkic force returns, it will be found that the back road is cut off, and it will inevitably attack Yumen Pass." ”

Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up and looked at Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao saw Li Jing's good intentions, Cheng Biting Jin's eagerness, so he said: "Yes, the two of you have done a good job of pre-battle deployment in the past few days, one thing is very important, the troops who go out must feed the war with war, Hanzhou has not enough food, the trade route is not passable, it is difficult to support, and the troops are almost transferred, so they cannot provide food and grass support." ”

"Obey!" Li Jing solemnly promised.

Qin Huaidao motioned to He'er to take the wine jar and fill it for everyone.

Next, the three of them chatted about the details while eating, and He'er and Li Xueyan listened silently, while thinking about how they could support this big battle.

It is not trivial to send troops in four directions, and money and intelligence must follow.

After the meal, Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin left in a hurry, and the military department rushed to write the battle plan overnight, Qin Huaidao signaled He'er and Li Xueyan to come to the study, and said directly after closing the door: "Yan'er, all armies must arrange flying pigeons to facilitate contact, and in addition, send a letter back to Chang'an, and let Chang'an notify the cooperative merchants to prepare materials." ”

"Want to purchase? But the trade routes were blocked. Li Xueyan said in surprise.

"Prepare first, after the big war, the caravan can go with the army, what do you want, Hanzhou is too poor, in addition, Hanzhou must also prepare materials and money that can be exchanged, cattle, sheep, fruits, camels, horses, etc." Qin Huaidao said and looked at He'er.

"No problem, I'll arrange it." He'er agreed.

"What does our palace need, let Wang Xuance make a list, and the flying pigeons will be passed out, so that the merchants can prepare first." Qin Huaidao looked at Li Xueyan again.

Li Xueyan agreed, and asked with concern: "Do you want to recruit in person?" Go to Chang'an? ”

"Others don't worry." Qin Huai said apologetically, looking at Li Xueyan and He'er's slightly bulging bellies.

The first child was born without accompaniment, and now that he has a second child, he still can't accompany him, so he bows his head guiltily and pretends to look at the map.

"It's okay, young master, you are a big hero, busy with big things, go to Chang'an to save the people, and by the way, bring Princess Yuzhang back, the saint has lost his mind, and the palace doesn't know what will happen." He'er was empathetic, stepped forward, and helped rub Qin Huaidao's temples, her movements were gentle and intimate.

Qin Huaidao closed his eyes and recuperated, enjoying this rare gentleness.

Li Xueyan somewhat understood why Qin Huaidao attached so much importance to He'er - selfless dedication, without asking for anything in return.

On the other hand, although he also tried his best to do a good job as a wife, he was still somewhat selfish, at least he had a lot of interests for the family, and he who didn't want anything, didn't fight, and didn't want to do it, presumably it was too far away.

A burst of guilt welled up in her heart, Li Xueyan said softly: "Don't worry, I will take care of the Han Mansion with Sister He'er, and when you come back, Uncle Lao Ghost is loyal, let him follow you to facilitate communication, in addition, I want my parents to move to Hanzhou, do you think it's okay?" ”

"It's cold in Hanzhou, and I may not be able to stand it when I'm old, don't worry, I'll see it when I go to Chang'an."

"Yes, I'll listen to you."

……

Tai Chi Temple.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, but they were miserable.

The crown prince Li Zhi sat on the top and was silent.

A depressing aura shrouded everyone's hearts, suppressing everyone's atmosphere and not daring to come out.

After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly stepped forward and said: "Prince, colleagues, the saint is sick, it is inconvenient to go to the court, and I don't know when it will be good, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the ministers will advise and ask the prince to ascend the throne." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and their minds were alive.

The saint has lost his heart and is crazy, it is almost impossible to be good, the prince will ascend the throne sooner or later, at this time, the exhortation is from the dragon's work, and opposition is to find death.

can stand in the Tai Chi Palace, no one is a fool, weigh the kung fu, and come out to advise.

Fang Yiai asked for leave to recuperate at home, and at this moment suddenly understood why he had to come, looking at the crown prince Li Zhi who was sitting upright, he suddenly felt strange, and couldn't help but look at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, with a high-hanging expression.

From a legal point of view, the saint cannot govern the government, and the crown prince Li Zhi should take over the throne of the Great Unification, as a person who defends justice and the rule of law with his life, Wei Zheng cannot find a reason to oppose it.

Fang Xuanling saw farther and more thoroughly, and felt an aura of conspiracy, but the matter had come to this point, opposition would only make the situation worse, and he didn't stand up, and a thought flashed in his heart - forget it, that's it, destroy it.

The ministers are not against it, where do the people below not know the direction of the wind? One after another.

In the following time, the crown prince Li Zhi made three invitations and three resignations according to the etiquette system, and even reprimanded the minister, saying that his father was still there and could not ...... There are a lot of reasons, and the drama is in charge.

In the end, under the pleading of the ministers, Li Zhi "reluctantly" agreed to ascend the throne.

At the moment of foreign enemies, everything is simple.

Three days later, Li Zhi held an enthronement ceremony, became the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, canonized Sun Wuji, the governor of Zhao State, as a lieutenant and inspected the school in the book, Zhishangshu and Menxia Province, canonized Niu Jinda as the Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions, resisted the Tibetans, canonized Wushi Tong as the general of the auxiliary state, took over the defense of the Great Wall to resist the Turks, and ordered the world to be the king of soldiers and horses.

As soon as the decree came out, the world shook!
