Feng Changqing already had a score in his heart, turned to Li Siye and said, "Please give the doctor an order!"

"How many people do you need"

"Only 8,000 Anxi troops are needed."

"But I not only want you to take Tongguan, but also to intercept the rebels who fled from Chang'an after the defeat."

Feng Changqing hesitated for a moment, but still crossed his hands forward and said, "Only eight thousand people are needed, and there are more fierce thunderbolts."

"Okay." Li Siye stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder and said: "Another key point in this battle is that the defenders of Tongguan can be allowed to flee to Shaanxi County, but they must not be allowed to flee to Chang'an to report the news. Only by taking advantage of the asymmetry of information can we take the lead everywhere and form a trend of closing the door and beating the dog. Annihilate the 80,000 rebels in Guanzhong. ”

"Rest assured, doctor! I don't know when to go."

"Tomorrow morning, in order to avoid being discovered by the rebel rangers, we should try to make a big detour, from behind Liquan and Fuping into Weinan and Huayin. The vehicles carrying the goods will depart from Chang'an in six days, and although the heavy vehicles are slow, you are far more than four times as far as it, and you must stop them before they reach Tongguan. ”

"Understood."

Feng Changqing turned around and was about to go out, but Li Siye suddenly stopped him again, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Hey, there is another little thing, my son Li Chongbao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is proficient in riding and archery, this time you should just take him and let him listen and watch more."

General Feng showed a knowing smile on his face: "Yes."

Li Siye walked out of the main hall of the mansion from the dark room, and was just about to wave his hand to Kubani to invite King Guangping, when he suddenly thought that Li Yu was not his subordinate, so he should go to him by himself.

The residence of Li Yu, the king of Guangping, was close to the military camp, and Li Siye rode there, and when he met him in armor and was about to go to the camp to inspect, he stopped him and said: "Your Highness wants to go, the heir has something important to tell you."

Li Yu had no choice but to lead him back to the fine house where he lived, took off the pocket and put it on the desk and asked, "What's the big deal with the doctor?"

"The time has come to recover Chang'an."

"Really" Li Yu obviously couldn't believe it, stretched out his hand and pressed the case table and said: "Doctor, the rebels have just won, and they are in full swing."

"The time is right for the proud army to be defeated."

"The doctor didn't hurry up to ask his father for war."

Li Siye smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, it is time for you to ask for war, please entrust your majesty with all the war, and I will lead the three armies to attack at your command."

Li Yu stroked the pocket on the desk a little shyly: "But I have never led troops to fight." ”

"With me, what are you worried about, I have a strategy in mind, and I can give advice to His Highness at that time."

Li Yu, the king of Guangping, slapped his palm on the desk heavily: "I believe in Dr. Li, I will present to my father and the emperor, please be the deputy marshal, gather Guo Ziyi and other generals, and march to Chang'an!"

……

Li Heng moved his line again, from Pengyuan to Chencang Station in Fengxiang County, because this is the only way for Chencang Road to go out of Dasanguan, from the Jianghuai area to the Jingxiang area can be transferred to Hanzhong through the Han River, and then transported from Hanzhong Chencang Road to here, which is the main artery of the imperial court's economic source after the fall of Chang'an.

In October, Beihai Taishou Helan Jinming sent a record to join the army of the Fifth Qi to Pengyuan Dynasty to meet Li Heng, presented him with a map of the transportation route of Jianghuai Rent, and proposed the method of salt, that is, the government-run salt industry, and private individuals were no longer allowed to manufacture and sell. Li Henglong, Yan Dayue, Feng Wuqi as the Imperial History Zhongcheng, Jianghuai Rent Yong, Salt and Iron Envoy.

He came to Chencang just in time for the first batch of money from Jianghuai and Hanzhong to arrive, and Li Heng finally recovered his wealth.

He was in a good mood, but when he saw a self-tied and bare-shouldered criminal outside the post hall walk in, his face suddenly darkened.

"You still have the face to see me!"

Fang Xuan fell to the ground with a pout, walked to Li Heng's couch on his knees, tears and snot poured out together: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" I have the great trust of His Majesty!"

Li Heng waved his hand angrily: "Someone!" Push him out of ...... for me."

Li Mi, who was standing in the side room, hurriedly walked out, and said to Li Heng with his crossed hands: "Your Majesty, Fang Xuan's defeat was caused by his lack of military affairs, I hope Your Majesty will be sincere in him and spare his life for his use."

Maybe Li Heng himself had no intention of killing Fang Xuan, but he just brushed his sleeves and said angrily: "Go down!" Don't appear in front of me in the future. ”

Fang Xuan knocked his head on the ground and knocked three times before he stood up and walked out of the hall backwards.

Li Heng stretched out his hand to support his forehead and sat on the couch with a sad heart, and Li Fuguo, who was standing next to him, bent down and said: "The lord of Ningyuan Country in the Western Regions led five thousand soldiers to help our dynasty quell the rebellion, and Gelulu Ye Hu also led three thousand soldiers from the north court to come. His Majesty can also send Zuo Wufeng's general Gu Huaien to Huifu to borrow troops to assist our army in quelling the rebellion. ”

"It's feasible to borrow troops to return to the country."

"Also, yesterday Honglu Siqing received the Great Food Emissary, and the emissary said that he was willing to help me with 3,000 camels and send 3,000 people to help quell the rebellion. However, the other side had the conditions to ask the envoy of Zhaowu Jiedu to withdraw the army from the river and Tocharo. ”

Li Heng was hesitating whether to accept it, but Li Mi stood up from the side and said categorically: "Only 3,000 people want to change the Hezhong and Tocharian realms, and this matter must not be agreed."

Li Fuguo unconsciously lowered his voice: "The Central Plains are in chaos, what's the use of occupying so many places?"

Li Heng had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "Send someone to ask Li Siye and hear what he has to say."

At this time, Cui Guangyuan, the imperial historian, walked into the hall, holding the watch sent by Li Yu from Chang'an in his hand, and presented it to Li Heng with both hands.

Li Heng unwrapped the seal, unfolded it and browsed it carefully, and his face showed joy: "King Guangping co-signed Li Siye on the table, saying that he had found the best fighter and could recover Chang'an."

Several people in the hall hurriedly congratulated the emperor, Li Heng smiled and waved his hand and said: "Order Guo Ziyi to lead troops into Fengxiang to meet Li Siye, Wang Sili will also go, and bring more than 10,000 people who have retreated from Fang Xuan's defeat to the horses!" Jianghuai has come to rent and yong, I want to sacrifice the army first and stimulate the morale of the soldiers!"

Everyone told Li Heng to retreat and went to work, and only Li Fuguo was left in the hall to guard beside him, and the eunuch squatted in front of him and massaged his knees with both hands and said: "Your Majesty doesn't think it's suspicious, you also said that the rebel army is still elite and strong, and you need to wait for the opportunity, and now Fang Xuan's new defeat has damaged tens of thousands of His Majesty's soldiers and horses, and he suddenly said that it's okay, this is obviously ......"

Li Heng pondered it carefully, and then waved his hand again and said: "Fang Xuan's matter is that I am too anxious, and besides, the fighter plane is coming and going in an instant, and you need to grasp it, and you are too suspicious." After he said that, he added: "No matter what happens, wait until Chang'an is restored."

……

At dawn, in the deep blue sky where the Taibai star hangs high and the extreme north, the stars shine on the mountains at the end of the earth, and the 8,000 strong brigades of the Anxi Army, known as the strongest brigade in the Tang Dynasty, gather at the south gate of Fengxiang City, and Li Siye personally sent them on the expedition in a cloak.

Feng Changqing was wearing a black hammer armor and a phoenix winged shackle on his head to say goodbye to Dr. Li, Li Siye held his hand and carefully instructed: "If the plan fails, don't knock on the pass strongly, and set up an ambush on the way for the rebels to flee to Tongguan." Cao Anding has already gone directly to Tongguan County, and he will inform you of the route of the convoy when you arrive. At that time, after you have won a great victory, you can send him back to deliver the message as soon as possible. But at that time, no matter what the situation was, it was already ready to fly, and it had to be sent. ”

"Please rest assured, Chang Qingding will live up to the trust."

Li Siye turned his head and glanced at Li Chongbao, who was leading two horses to Feng Changqing as his own soldiers, and the child's expression was very excited, just like when he first commanded a battle in Green Ridge many years ago. He was dressed in bright light armor, and the hood on his head was indigo, the edges were like goshawks spreading their wings, and the helmet was red like fire.

He reached out and took off his son's hood, and before the boy could react, he pulled a pointed helmet from the head of the soldier behind him and buckled it to his skull.

Li Chongbao gagged his lips to express dissatisfaction, Li Siye tapped his helmet with a horsewhip and said: "What's the use of wearing it again, and surviving is the most important thing." Let's go!"

The Ansey army marched in a procession of horses towards the place where the sun was about to rise, the belly of their armor and robes rattled with a crisp clang, and all the flags rolled up and tied to the horses. Li Chongbao straddled the black horse and followed closely behind Feng Changqing to start the first thrilling expedition in his life.
