In this way, Chen Qiuming was chased back by Li Cunmiao with a dead face, and it was also from this day that Chen Qiuming officially acted as Li Cunmiao's dog-headed military advisor and began to help Li Cunmiao wholeheartedly.

It was not until recently that the news that Li Cunqiao led the army to annihilate Li Si'an's 100,000 Liang troops gradually spread in the Central Plains, and this news shocked everyone.

Three days ago, Li Keyong received a joint report from Zhou Dewei and Li Cunmiao, and after reading it, he was so shocked that he couldn't even grasp the silk book, so he hurriedly picked it up and read it again, and said to the ministers in ecstasy: "Yazi's great merit, Yazi's great merit, he actually annihilated Li Si'an's 100,000 army with a fire attack, hahaha, without this 100,000 army, look at what strength Zhu Wen's dog thief still dares to be arrogant in front of me!" ”

The ministers below seemed to be listening to the book of heaven, and they all looked at Li Keyong in disbelief, Li Keyong stood up from the throne, handed the letter to the courtiers, and then paced back and forth in the hall, saying as he walked: "Zhou Dewei and Yazi jointly reported, the news will never be false, you should hurry up and discuss, how to reward Yazi and the meritorious soldiers in front." ”

Below Li Kening, Li Cunzhang, Zhang Chengye, Li Cunhao, Li Cunshi and other ministers passed letters to each other, all of them were shocked by this sudden news and couldn't speak, or Li Kening was well-informed, and Li Keyong's own brother, he reacted and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Yazi is worthy of being my Li family's son, and it is also worthy of being personally cultivated by you since childhood. As for the reward, it is better to write to him and ask what he wants. ”

Li Kening's words were patting on the back the whole time, and he didn't say a word of substantive usefulness, but he is a prince, who dares to refute it?

Li Keyong listened to it but was very useful, Zhu Wen was his confidant, some time ago, he was overwhelmed by Zhu Wen, now that the situation is reversed, how can he not be happy?

I saw him smile and say: "Kenin is reasonable, so I will write to him and ask him what reward he wants, and ask him to report the meritorious soldiers this time, and reward them together at that time." ”

Almost at the same time, Zhu Wen, the emperor of the Liang State, also received the battle report, and Li Keyong's reaction was completely different, Zhu Wen jumped up from the dragon chair directly after reading the battle report, and scolded angrily with a blue face: "Li Si'an... I entrusted 100,000 soldiers to you, but you were so easily buried in the hands of children like Li Cunqiao, you deserve to die!! ”

"Someone! Take down all the children of Li Si'an's family to ask for guilt, raid the house and behead them! ”

The civil and military ministers in the hall were all stunned, what's wrong? Taiwei Yang Shi boldly asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

Zhu Wen directly threw the battle report to Yang Shihou, and after reading it, Yang Shihou was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

Ge Congzhou on the side hurriedly took the battle report, and was shocked after reading it, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Luzhou is less than three hundred miles away from Kyoto, and there is no danger to defend in the north, and the cavalry can go to Luoyang City in one day. ”

Zhu Wen said angrily: "What are you afraid of? If Li Cunmiao dares to come, what can he do in the imperial capital with many soldiers and strong cities? When I am surrounded by King Qin's army, he can't run away, do you still want me to move again? ”

At this time, the main civil and military ministers basically finished reading the battle report, and Prime Minister Jingxiang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although Li Si'an was defeated in the battle, his family members are innocent, if he kills his family members, it will definitely chill the soldiers on the front line, and please let Your Majesty take it lightly." ”

"In addition, Your Majesty does not need to be angry, the Jin army won this battle by luck, and its strength is still inferior to our army, as long as you send a powerful general to lead the army north to resist the enemy, you can rest easy."

Jing Xiang was Zhu Wen's first adviser, with outstanding merits, and won Zhu Wen's trust, seeing Jing Xiang pleading, Zhu Wen let go of Li Si'an's family, and asked: "Who is willing to lead the army north to meet the enemy?" ”

In fact, at this time, the Liang Dynasty was able to recruit a large number of military generals who were good at fighting, Yang Shihou, Ge Congzhou, Zhu Cunjie, Wang Yanzhang, Zhang Guiba, Kang Huaizhen, etc., all of whom were famous generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years. ”

Even Wang Yanzhang shouted: "The last general will capture that Li Cunqiao alive to sacrifice the spirit of my 100,000 soldiers in the sky!" ”

Seeing that the morale was available, Zhu Wen also reversed the decline just now, and shouted loudly: "Order: Yang Shihou is the main general, Wang Yanzhang is the deputy general, and leads the Protector Army, the Loyal Army, and the Xuanyi Army, with a total of 60,000 troops to the north. In addition, I will send a few more grandmaster masters to help with the army, if there is a chance, I can send them to assassinate Li Cunmiao'er, as long as Li Cunmiao dies, I see how long Li Ke can survive with that old thief! ”

Jing Xiang came out and reminded: "The morale of the other party is high, General Yang should avoid engaging the opponent quickly, if he wants to drag the opponent's cavalry, and then choose the opportunity to counterattack." ”

Yang Shihou knelt down to take the handsome seal, and after formally receiving the order, he hugged his fists at Jingxiang and said: "Prime Minister don't worry, I know how to deal with Li Cunqiao's cavalry." ”

Three days later, Li Cunmiao received a reply from Li Keyong, and at the same time received a report that Zhu Wen had sent Yang Shihou and Wang Yanzhang to lead an army of 60,000 to the north, so he sent someone to invite Chen Qiuming to discuss countermeasures.

Who knew that as soon as Chen Qiuming entered the big tent, he complained to Li Cunmiao: "Next time, don't send beautiful women to my tent, it will harm my cultivation." ”

In fact, it's not that Chen Qiuming is not good at women, but he is used to seeing beauties like Luo Xiaoxiao, Duanmu Xixi, and Wuji, and how can he look at the rouge vulgar powder sent by Li Cunmiao, so he drove them all out.

In the past few days, Li Cunmiao and Chen Qiuming have become so familiar that they can't be more familiar, and they haven't been so polite for a long time, and said with a smile: "You said that you are not good at gold and silver, and you are not good at beauty, and I don't know how to do it if I want to be good to you, which makes it difficult for me to do it!" ”

Chen Qiuming rolled his eyes and said, "'Drunken Immortal Brew' and 'Hero's Tears' were both brewed by me, will I be short of money?" In addition, it's not that Lao Tzu doesn't love beauty, if you send Duanmu Xixi over, I will drive it out? ”

After joking for a while, the two began to get down to business.

After listening to Li Cunxuan's briefing, Chen Qiuming pondered for a moment and said: "The first thing is easy to do, you will ask your father for the position of Luzhou Jiedu envoy and control the military and political power of the entire Luzhou." ”

"In this way, it will not go over, and it will not touch the interests of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it will also have Luzhou, which really belongs to you, and the policy of strengthening the army, the people, and the country discussed by you and me before can also be put in Luzhou for pilot."

Li Cunmiao's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and agreed: "That's it!" I'll write back to my father in a moment. ”

Chen Qiuming continued: "As for the second thing, there are two suggestions. The first is to stand still, there are 70,000 troops in Luzhou, and there is a strong city like Luzhou City, he Yang Shihou led 60,000 troops over, what can I wait for? ”

"The second suggestion is to personally lead 20,000 cavalry to the south before Yang Shihou arrives, and go deep into the hinterland of the Liang Kingdom, which will turn him upside down and make him restless. Last time 100,000 were buried, and this time it was 60,000, how many troops can be mobilized in the territory of Liang? Running to his Luoyang City, even if he can't capture Luoyang, he will be so scared that Zhu Wen's old boy can't sleep, which is also a huge blow to the morale of Liang Guo. ”

"Whichever one you choose, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. In addition, in the list of merits, do not appear my name, my existence, the less people know about it, the better, and it can be used as a trump card at critical moments. ”

Chen Qiuming thought with his feet, and knew that Li Cunmiao would choose the second one, and sure enough, Li Cunmiao patted his leg and shouted: "Come on, go to Luzhou City, and quickly invite General Zhou Dewei here, just say that this general has something important to discuss." ”

Then he commanded: "Command, the army is ready to march." ”

After finishing it, he turned his head to Chen Qiuming and smiled bitterly: "The burning of 100,000 Liang troops is obviously your credit, but it is all on my head, how do you let me deal with myself?" ”

Who knew that Chen Qiuming's answer almost choked Li Cunmiao to death: "Lao Tzu doesn't want fame and fortune, what's the use of taking credit, and also, as a superior person, you have to learn to be thick-skinned, doesn't it seem that you are wise and martial?" ”

Li Cunmiao couldn't cry or laugh, Chen Qiuming got up and said: "I'm going to train the 'wolf rider', you can convince Zhou Dewei yourself." ”

The wolf ride is Chen Qiuming's suggestion, and the elite 300 who are strong in martial arts and good at riding and archery are selected, following the training methods of the special forces in the previous life, equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, and the troops who specialize in spying, assassination, and special tasks such as the last arson.

Of course, 300 is only a preliminary selection, and most of them will be eliminated, and only about 100 will be left in the end. In addition, Chen Qiuming will also create his own internal boxing to promote the whole army, although this kind of boxing is difficult to create top masters, but the victory does not require any qualifications, is a person can learn, long-term persistence, practice to the depth, the same can practice deep internal force.

During this time, Li Cunqiao had already completely subdued Zhou Dewei, and after Zhou Dewei came and knew Li Cunqiao's intentions, he not only patted his chest to ensure that Luzhou City was guarded, but also transferred 10,000 cavalry to Li Cunqiao for use.

In the evening, after Li Cunqiao stood on a high platform and made an impassioned pre-war mobilization, he ordered the army to march out, and the wolf cavalry was the most advanced army to open the way.

In order to ensure superb mobility, Li Cunqiao selected all cavalry, one person and two horses, only brought five days' rations, a total of more than 20,000 people, before the arrival of Yang Shihou's army, disappeared into the night.

Chen Qiuming also asked Li Cunmiao to recruit more than 300 craftsmen to accompany the army, relying on cavalry alone, how to attack the city and pull out the village?

Regarding the route of the march, Chen Qiuming and Li Cunqiao discussed and unanimously decided to go to Weizhou first. The purpose of this southward attack is to grab resources, the second is to destroy, and the third is to deter, but these are not the most important, the ultimate goal is to finally go around the back of Yang Shihou's army and attack the Liang army on both sides with Zhou Dewei, of course, it depends on the changes in the situation later.
