"No, you don't need to do anything just yet."

Yang Guang glanced at Fang Tang: "Otherwise, you really think that Su Dingfang and Li Jing are stupid?" How can two people do exactly the same thing at the same time? ”

Fang Tang let out an "oh": "How long will Weichen stagnate specifically?" ”

Yang Guang said unhurriedly: "In case Xu Maogong's plan fails again, then there will naturally be a place for you to come in at that time." ”

At the beginning, Yang Guang asked the two of them to shoot at the same time, just to test and see who could be the first breakthrough between Su Dingfang and Li Jing.

Now, since the temptation has failed, there is no need to continue to scare the snake.

Otherwise, there are too many coincidences, but the other party will be aware of the flaws.

"Obey." Fang Tang bent down respectfully.

As for Xu Maogong, he had already taken the first step to leave and prepared for what Yang Guang had explained.

The words are divided into two ends, Tang Jun's side.

Su Dingfang and Li Jing sat in the tent.

Su Dingfang was the first to speak, and said a little depressedly: "General Li, we have been delayed outside Jiangdu for two or three days, but things have not progressed, how can this be good?" ”

"It's okay, anyway, Yang Guang is still in Luoyang, and we have time to grind slowly." Compared to him, Li Jing is still very calm.

"The truth is this, but, those officials in the Great Sui are somewhat difficult, we have sent a lot of secret letters in the past two days, but unfortunately no one has responded to us until now."

Su Dingfang frowned: "The only one who took the initiative to send me a secret letter was my former best friend Fang Tang." ”

"Fang Tang? Who? ”

"Oh, the sworn brother of my youth." After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he didn't forget to add: "At the beginning, I went to take refuge with Li Yuan, and he went to Dasui to become a historian. ”

"What did he say in the secret letter?" Li Jing asked.

Su Dingfang said quite unhappily: "I probably want to meet with me, but according to my speculation, it should be because I saw our Tang soldiers coming to the city, so I want to do something for the Great Sui and let us withdraw our troops as soon as possible." ”

"Coincidentally, I, like you, received a secret letter from my apprentice Xu Maogong." Li Jing sneered: "The content of that secret letter is not much different from what you described, these two people should not have colluded in advance, right?" ”

Su Dingfang's heart moved.

"You mean, they're trying to plot against us?"

"That's not it, after all, no matter how I say it, I am Xu Maogong's master, and he doesn't dare to harm me."

Li Jing shook his head and pondered, "Maybe this is the decision they finally made after some discussion in the court." ”

"If that's the case, then I can only say that the people of the Great Sui are whimsical."

There was a slight hint of sarcasm at the corner of Su Dingfang's mouth: "Don't say that the two of us won't easily enter Jiangdu, even if we do, what can they do to us?" When Yang Guang was not in Jiangdu, they could only shrink into the hole like rats, and they didn't dare to come out at all. ”

"Haha, that's a very apt description!" Li Jing also laughed.

The 50,000 Tang troops they brought were stationed less than 50 miles away from Jiangdu, but within these 50 miles, there was no trace of half of the Sui army, and they didn't even dare to make the most basic exploration.

From this point of view, the people of the Great Sui were indeed as timid as mice, and before the war began, they were already frightened by the Tang army.

"If Your Majesty knew that the people of the Great Sui were so virtuous, maybe he would really agree to let us lead an army to attack Jiangdu."

Su Dingfang snorted lightly: "As long as the Jiangdu is defeated, whether it is Wagangzhai or those old ministers of the Great Sui, they will be forced to submit to the feet of our Tang Dynasty, where do we need to find ways to oppose the opposition like now?" ”

Li Jing groaned.

In fact, he also felt that Su Dingfang's words made some sense.

Especially in the process of rebellion, after hitting nails everywhere, he felt even more impatient, you know, generals like them are not good at using these little tricks at all. It's far less convenient and fast than a real fight.

But on the other hand, plotting against the ministers of the Great Sui was Li Shimin's personal will, and they even patted their chests and agreed at that time.

Right now, you can't just resist the decree just because you encounter a little setback, right?

If Li Shimin knew about the latter's character, I am afraid that he would have to order them to be recalled the next day, and then accept punishment.

"Two generals, Your Majesty has an urgent secret letter of eight hundred miles from there!"

Just then, there was a noise outside the door.

Su Dingfang and Li Jing glanced at each other and shouted, "Take it in." ”

As he spoke, a Tang soldier entered the camp tent and handed a secret letter to Li Jing.

Li Jing tore open the secret letter and read it aloud to Su Dingfang while reading it.

After listening to this, Su Dingfang's expression was not as relaxed as just now, but he was still a little stunned: "The Tang army we sent to Luoyang actually suffered a defeat?" This can't be fake news, right? Can the Sui army have such a strong combat power? ”

"The Tang army was defeated, not only because of the Sui army, but also because of Wang Shichong's inaction!"

Li Jing looked a little angry, and scolded: "Wang Shichong, this dog thief, I have long known that he is not a good thing, but I didn't expect that my heart has become so black. ”

"Even if we go all the way to help a dog, that dog won't be a bastard like him, right?"

Su Dingfang followed and scolded: "That's right, dogs are not as good as things!" ”

Li Jing's forehead was bruised, and his eyes were still full of bloodshots, if he hadn't been able to pull away now, I was afraid that he would have to rush back to Chang'an directly, begging Li Shimin to order him to lead troops to attack Luoyang.

As for Su Dingfang, although he was not as angry as Li Jing, he understood Li Jing's mood very well.

Half of the 70,000 Tang troops sent to Luoyang this time were directly subordinate troops under Li Jing, and their defeat in Luoyang would undoubtedly have a great impact on Li Jing.

If Li Shimin does not add new sources of troops to him in the future, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Jing's status among military generals may plummet, far worse than the current scenery.

Because for a general, if there are no soldiers available, then even if he is a great general, in the court, he will gradually lose all the right to speak.

He waited for a moment, until Li Jing regained his composure, and then he reminded: "General Li, it seems that we have to move faster to plot against the Great Sui officials, otherwise, when Yang Guang and the Sui army rush back, not only can we not continue to rebel, but we may even fall into the Sui army's two-sided attack." ”

"I know, we really don't have much time." Li Jing took a deep breath, and his face became faintly solemn.
