Guo Rong is just a general, so he can only think about the military, only about strategy, and only about conquering cities, but Li Chun is the controller of this huge empire, and he must consider the interests of the entire empire.

As the person who knows the real situation of Datang best, Li Chun is well aware that Datang's national strength is recovering rapidly at an incredible speed.

From a long-term perspective, Li Chun believes that as long as Datang does not make mistakes and does not have a civil war, then Datang is invincible!

From a realistic point of view, under the leadership of Guo Rong, the staff officers of the Changying Army formulated a set of tactics of repairing plank roads in the open, showing warehouses in the dark, and combining the virtual and the real.

The main force of the imperial court made a big show in Henan, thus attracting the attention of the Hebei rebels to Henan, and then the cavalry that had been allowed to do so for a long time was assassinated from the northwest and drawn from the bottom of the kettle.

Familiar recipe, familiar taste, Li Chun can't even remember how many times Guo Rong has used this trick, but Li Chun has to admit that this trick is really useful.

At least judging from the information gathered so far, Guo Rong's hope has basically been achieved.

Wang Chengzong reserved in Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou to guard against the elite of the Hedong Army and the Zhaoyi Army, and north of Chengde, Liu Zong reserved a total of 150,000 elites in the direction of Liaoxi and Monan Yanzhou, and a total of 150,000 elites have been withdrawn.

As many people know, the three towns of Hebei are all selfish and self-interested, and everything they do is also for their own interests.

Nominally, the three towns of Hebei were in the same breath, and after it was determined that the Hebei army was annihilated in Henan, Mr. Liu and Wang Chengzong also expressed to Tian Ji'an that they would advance and retreat together.

However, in terms of position, Wei Bo is obviously far to the south, and in the eyes of Mr. Liu and Wang Chengzong, it has become their natural shield.

If Tian Ji'an can resist the crusade army of the imperial court, they don't mind really providing Tian Ji'an with grain and grass, soldiers and horses.

However, obviously, the troops and horses mobilized by Li Chun and Guo Rong were too large, and even if Wei Bozhen was at its peak, it would definitely not be able to withstand such an attack.

As a result, Mr. Liu and Wang Chengzong did not hesitate to treat Tian Ji'an and Wei Bo as outcasts.

The Chengde army of Zhenzhou had been successfully transferred from the west to Jizhou, which bordered Weibo on the southern front, to strengthen the defense of Jizhou.

As for the Lu Long army that received the order, part of it was used by Mr. Liu to strengthen the defense of Youzhou, and the other part went directly south, but the target of the south was not Chengde, which was closer to the first line than them, but the Yiwu army located at both ends of the same head between Lu Long and Chengde.

In the entire Hebei Province, at its peak, there were more than ten large and small feudal towns, so that the huge Hebei was divided into fragments.

Among them, there are powerful feudal towns such as Lulong, Chengde, Wei Bo, and Zhaoyi, which have several states and have hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, but there are also weak people who only govern one state or two states.

For example, Li Yuxue attacked Yunzhou at night, and after the imperial court pacified Pinglu, he took the initiative to hand over the rights and territory to the imperial court, and Henghai Town only governed the two states of Cangzhou and Jingzhou, and there were only 350,000 soldiers and horses in terms of troops, and it was uncomfortable to be sandwiched between the imperial court and the Hebei domain.

Otherwise, the former Henghai Jiedu envoy would not have taken the initiative to hand over his power, soldiers, horses, and land, and return to Chang'an honestly.

Similar to the Heng Navy in the past, there is also the Yiwu Army today.

Compared with Henghai Town at that time, today's Yiwu Army only has two states, and it is almost surrounded between Chengde and Lulong, so that the Yiwu Army Jiedu envoy does not even have a chance to take the initiative to join the imperial court.

Originally, Mr. Liu and Wang Chengzong didn't care too much about the existence of the Yiwu Army, after all, the Yiwu Army couldn't run.

But now, the imperial court has come to the city to ensure their own safety and will not be attacked by the imperial court from the rear, and they have to take Yicheng down.

In fact, under the joint efforts of President Liu and Wang Chengzong, under the surprise attack of more than 100,000 troops in the east, west, south, and north, the Yiwu army, which was already panicked, had no power to resist, and was annihilated under the armies of Chengde and Lu Longjun before November.

Then the northern Yizhou returned

It belonged to Liu Zong, and Dingzhou in the south was taken into Wang Chengzong's pocket, and at the same time, the internal threat of the three towns of Lulong-Chengde-Weibo Hebei was eliminated on paper.

After dividing up the Yiwu Army, Lu Long and Cheng De's army began to assemble in Yecheng, the de facto No. 1 Xiongji Prefecture in Hebei.

On the one hand, they were reinforcing the city defense of Yecheng, and at the same time transporting the grain and grass collected from all over the country to Yecheng, and at the same time conscripted all the remaining labor, widened the moat of Yecheng, strengthened the city wall of Yecheng, and set up a large number of small villages, small camps, fortifications, traps, and secret posts around Yecheng, as if they wanted to completely turn Yecheng into a fortress and fortress to resist the Tang army.

In fact, when Li Chun heard the actual operation of Mr. Liu and Wang Chengzong, he felt indescribable shock, because the behavior of these two guys was almost the same as Guo Rong's judgment when he formulated his strategy.

In Li Chun's view, this set of virtual and real combinations that seem to have been used countless times, is connected to each other, and is already a real model of winning with righteousness and oddity.

More importantly, the use of true and false tactics has completed the mobilization of the enemy, which almost marks another step in Guo Rong's grand strategy, and Guo Rong's growth undoubtedly makes the Tang Dynasty, the Dinghai Shenpin, more stable.

Whether from a long-term or practical point of view, the destruction of the Hebei rebels is equivalent to a certainty, and the result is nothing more than the end of the war in three months and the end of the war in six months.

Although Guo Rong thinks that the risk of this attack is not great, how can such a thing as a war really have such a thing as a sure victory!

In case of any accident during the raid to the north, it could be a disaster for Datang!

In this case, is it necessary to risk Guo Rong to lead the elite of the forbidden army deep into the hinterland of Hebei?

And this is the problem that bothers Li Chun the most.

Of course, Li Chun also understands that while there are risks, once the plan formulated by Guo Rong based on the information provided by Chai Lao Dao Qing Xuzi is successful, the results and benefits achieved are also very huge.

First of all, although nearly 100,000 foot soldiers and 50,000 cavalry were prepared on the northern front, the area of the entire Hebei was still too large, and the main process of the battle still had to be carried out in the cold winter and wax moon.

In order to still firmly control the imperial court and the direction of the high-speed carriage of the Tang Dynasty under the condition of almost complete decentralization.

After witnessing this real miracle completed by Li Yu as the emperor of the ether, Li Chun was extremely envious of the prestige that his father had achieved.

However, as he himself said, in terms of protection, his own father has reached the peak, so the direction he can choose can only be outward.

However, from Li Chen's behavior, Li Chun knew that the Tang Dynasty had been bitter for a long time.

From Guo Rong's efforts to clear out various forces within the Tang Dynasty in order to go west, Li Chun clearly knew that the first step to the outside was to settle inside.

Datang's biggest stubborn disease is Hebei!

Taking Hebei and sweeping Hebei means that the biggest hidden danger within Datang has been removed, and Li Chun can completely let go of the reform that is now being carried out in Guanzhong to the entire Datang.

Flattening Hebei and sweeping away the subordinates can make the prestige of Li Chun, who was personally conquered, skyrocket, and make up for what was lost due to the change in the mode of power operation between the DPRK and China.

It's just that the same is to sweep Hebei, and the impact of different models is also completely different.

Relying on the hard power of the forbidden army and the strong logistical support, it was pushed over by force, and the victory was a model.

Swift and fast blitzkrieg, and defeating thieves in a short period of time is another mode.

A steady push will give the impression of stability and invincibility, while the blitzkrieg mode seems to be more likely to form a sense of destiny.

Thinking of this feeling of destiny, gradually, the balance in Li Chun's mind has begun to tilt, but the final decision has not yet been decided.

When Li Chun was engaged in the final battle between heaven and man, he suddenly heard the sound of the discussion of the Changying Military Academy behind the two, and immediately cast his eyes over.

At this moment, the senior generals in the inner circle and the young generals in the outer circle were discussing the change plan to attack, and they didn't notice Li Chun's gaze at all.

Seeing this scene, Li Chun shook his head with a smile, it turned out that he had forgotten such a crucial factor.

That is Guo Rong, and the elite military academies of the forbidden army around Guo Rong.

They are the foundation for their father to turn the tide, the basis for Datang's external expansion and interests, and the most advantageous weapon for their own control of Datang.

Keep this weapon under your control......

Looking at the elated generals who were discussing, and then at the majestic but respectful Guo Rong in front of him, Li Chun nodded with satisfaction.

At least until now, I and Guo Rong get along very well, and they have a tacit understanding, and it is neither valuable nor necessary to reject Guo Rong and break this tacit understanding.

Thinking about Guo Rong's only wish, Li Chun already had an answer in his heart, and then spoke.

"Guo Rong, I will ask you one last time, do you still want to lead the troops directly over?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has thought about it repeatedly, since the eldest princess and Tian Ji'an have done everything they can, if we don't take advantage of it, we may be seized by the other party, and when the time comes, ......

Guo Rong had been preparing for a long time and was just halfway through when he was interrupted by Li Chun's laughter.

"Okay, I'm right, but you'll have to promise me one condition."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"You are no longer the little captain in Xingqing Palace now, you have too many things on your shoulders, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I am accurate, but I am not an example!"

From Li Chun's words, Guo Rong heard what Li Chun wanted to express, I am the boss, and the final decision is mine, without any hesitation, Guo Rong said with his fists clenched.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Rong recognized Li Chun's absolute power, and Li Chun also gave Guo Rong enough trust and support, and between these words, Li Chun and Guo Rong once again formed enough tacit understanding.

"Don't worry, I'm right, but you'll have to wait."

"Huh?

」

"I need to attract a target for you here, so I need you to send my grandmother's title over, and you can wait for me to finish writing the edict and take it with the seal."

Li Chun said it very easily, but Guo Rong was confused when he heard it, what the hell is my grandmother?

"You, who else could there be from my grandmother?"

Guo Rong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted from Li Chunzhen's grandmother.

"Your Majesty is talking about the eldest princess?"

"Naturally, it's Princess Jiacheng."

"Huh?"

"Well, what, don't you want to say that I've already said it."

"Uh-huh!"

"You, my princesses of the Tang Dynasty all need to be confirmed and canonized by edict, especially the eldest princess of the feudal country, this is the fixed title of my princess of the Tang Dynasty, not only to have an edict, but also to have a ceremony, how can it be decided in one or two sentences."

"If you don't have these things, it will be a mess, I will write an edict first, and you will send it to Weizhou by the way, with this edict, it is enough for my grandmother to do her best to assist you...... Also, don't be in a hurry to go, it's okay to practice more calligraphy, learn etiquette, I don't want the first person in my Datang military to be a guy who doesn't know how to learn, it's too embarrassing to say it, go, go back to the camp, I'm tired, this stomach is too heavy."

As the plan for the assault was finalized, the crossing of the two regiments that did not carry out the crossing was postponed and replaced by boatloads of war horses.

These horses will be the real protagonists of the raid.
