Watering River County, Changsun Chong refugee camp.

Today, his refugee camp is bustling with activity.

It's like it's a small city-state.

At least 30,000 refugees have gathered.

Judging from the size of his refugee camp, the impact of the great war in Watering River County on these civilians is not insignificant.

This is actually normal, as long as the war is together, it is ordinary people who will be most affected.

Since the eldest grandson Chong returned from outside the city of Douhe, he also began to build the city wall with the refugees from the refugee camp.

He knew very well that if he wanted to make a difference in the Ming Dynasty, he had to do something.

At the very least, show what you can do.

And he took the refugee camp to build the city wall, and the purpose was many.

"Little grandfather, there is an urgent letter from Chang'an." Just as the eldest grandson was inspecting the camp, the cronies of the family hurriedly ran over.

Hearing this, Changsun Chong did not accept the letter, but glared at his cronies, and said dissatisfiedly: "How many times has this official said that there is no little grandfather in the Ming Dynasty, there is no little grandfather!" You don't understand, do you? ”

Although before he came, Li Chengqian blocked the cronies brought by Changsun Chong on the glacier, but for such a long time, how could Changsun Wuji not arrange for a few descendants of the family to come to assist Changsun Chong.

In addition, those nobles in Chang'an, especially those who sent their own sons here, who did not buy and sell in the Ming Dynasty, wanted to install two of their own people for their sons, it was really not a difficult thing for them.

In this case, even if Li Chengqian knew about it, he would only turn a blind eye.

After all, for him, what the Ming Dynasty lacks most is people who do things, and it is not a bad thing for him to have these guys to help.

"Xiao Langjun, it's an urgent letter from Chang'an, transferred from Sun Moon Mountain." When the cronies heard this, they immediately changed their names.

The eldest grandson Chong took the letter at this time, looked at it twice after a brief inspection, and immediately smiled and said: "That's it, Aye has a lot of heart, His Highness is so eloquent, how can he not understand the truth in this." ”

The content of the letter is naturally a matter of Li Yuanjing's self-reliance on the royal court, the eldest grandson Wuji did not use the eight hundred miles to expedit, and the eldest grandson Chong is not in Sun Moon Mountain at present, so it has been delayed for so long.

But since Li Chengqian expressed his intentions last time, everyone has understood that it is only a matter of time before he returns to Chang'an.

So, how could Li Chengqian tolerate the emergence of a state within a state in his dynasty?

"Ayata is worried." The eldest grandson Chong smiled, "Reply to Aye, don't worry about it." ”

"Okay." When the cronies heard this, they immediately said, and after speaking, they looked at the people who were busy, and said with some curiosity, "Xiao Langjun, is it a waste for us to build a city here?" ”

"Waste?" Eldest Sun Chong listened to his words, looked at his recent masterpiece, and said with a smile, "You don't understand, after this battle, Watering River County and even the entire Tuyuhun may all belong to my Ming Dynasty."

According to His Royal Highness's original plan for Chishuiyuan, the construction of the city is certain.

At this point, we just have the manpower, so why not give it a try.

There are some things that you haven't done, so why should others believe that you can do it well?

Most importantly, we build a city, and there are two benefits. ”

"Two more benefits?" The cronies were a little curious.

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said: "Yes, first, His Highness definitely needs manpower on his side, and the people who were sent over before will definitely not be enough for His Highness's plan."

So, we're actually helping His Highness train skilled workers right now, which is one of them.

Second, I have carefully studied all the actions of His Royal Highness in the Ming Dynasty, although I don't know what His Highness's intentions are, but I know very well that His Royal Highness is not willing to raise these people for no reason.

Even if it is a small thing for them to do, His Highness wants these people to show their value.

This is not the same as Datang's disaster relief.

You can also understand that His Highness is particularly sincere in teaching people to fish, it is better to teach people to fish.

As courtiers, we naturally have to maintain a rhythm with His Highness. ”

Sometimes, you have to admit that none of the people cultivated by these high-ranking families are really mediocre.

Now that he had his own goals, Changsun Chong quickly showed the political talent he should have.

There are some things, as long as he does it, sooner or later it will fall into Li Chengqian's ears.

Moreover, what is the relationship between him and Li Chengqian, cousin, in the final analysis, their relationship is closer than the relationship between Li Er and the eldest grandson Wuji.

During this time, he was idle, and he studied Li Er's family history again, and he found that they are similar to Li Er and them in the past.

This discovery made him extremely excited.

Li Chengqian is right, there is no one who does not want to be strong and win the ancestor.

Even if it is him, even if the person he admires the most since he was a child is his Aye, but now, the person he wants to surpass the most is also his Aye.

"By the way, I'm going to take some people to Dome River City tomorrow, you can prepare a table of wine banquet for me later, and invite Qiu County Commander to the banquet in the evening. Remember, to be polite, this is not Chang'an, and no one sells the face of your Guogong Mansion. Just as he was about to leave, Changsun Chong gave another order.

Since he decided to start his political career in the Ming Dynasty, he had to get rid of his little grandfather.

In Chang'an, a small county order, also deserved him to invite him to dinner?

……

And in the city of pouring rivers, in the camp of the resentful army.

Li Chengqian was discussing with Yi Yuanfeng, Zhao Yan, Wan Qipu and others.

"Your Highness, why don't we move a little more seriously tomorrow." "During this time, although we have been besieging the city every day, we always feel that the king of Dingcheng and Dayan Mangjiebo seem to have understood our thoughts, and from time to time there is not even a defender on the head of the city.

If we continue to fight like this, we will fear that they will guess our intentions. ”

During this time, although their siege frequency was high, it was a long-range attack, and to be honest, they had not really posed even such a threat to Watering River City at all.

Of course, this is actually normal, even if they are allowed to do it seriously, they will not be able to do anything to Watering River City with a maximum of 6,000 soldiers and horses.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he did not speak, but fell into deep thought.

On the side, Wan Qipu saw that Li Chengqian didn't speak, and immediately said: "Your Highness, it's time to get serious, or let the last general lead people to rush once, we have been attacking the city for so long, and the king of Dingcheng has not even fired back an arrow, and we shot it all day long, and everyone was very excited at first."

But with the city not even a single figure from time to time, if I continue to fight like this, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of my brothers. ”

"You're afraid of affecting your morale!" Zhao Yan quipped, "It's right that they don't fight back, although their arrows barely have such a range, but the lethality is minimal, and people are not stupid, how can they waste arrows."

The most important thing is that we don't pose an actual threat to them at all, so why should people be stupid with us? ”

"You have a point." Li Chengqian pondered for a moment and said, "But what is our purpose?" Is it a siege?

No, our purpose was never to siege the city, in the end, our purpose was only to hold them back.

As for Dayan Mang's reaction, this is normal.

In the beginning, we put on a siege posture, and it was normal for them to be ready for battle.

But as we attacked the city more and more, they must have realized something.

It's like the story of the wolf, you can deceive people once or twice, but if you have too many times, you can't deceive people. ”

As he spoke, he also shared the story of the wolf with the big guy.

"Your Highness means that they now know that we are attacking the city for a good time, so they simply don't take precautions?" When Wan Qipu heard this, he said with a look of surprise, "Then this is a good thing, since they think that we have been staging the story of the wolf all along, then we will simply plan and learn from the wolf in the story, and really rush once, just to catch them off guard!" ”

"You." When Li Chengqian heard this, he laughed, "I always only know that I only know how to fight and kill, and the wolf is just a story after all, and if it is a story, there must be an artificial component."

Why do you think that in our story, you must be playing the role of a wolf? And not Dayan Mang knotting them? ”

"What does Your Highness mean that Dayan Mang's Junction is doing this on purpose, just to expose flaws and lure us to attack the city?" Zhao Yan immediately understood what Li Chengqian meant.

However, Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "This king doesn't know, maybe yes, maybe not, but for us, is it important?"

Unimportant.

Don't forget, whatever their purpose, our purpose was never to siege the city!

If it's not a siege, why take the risk? ”

Does he need to know about Dayan Mang's deployment?

No, he's not a greedy person, not to mention that he doesn't know it now, even if he knows that Dayan Mang's knot is really stupid, he won't take any risks.

For him, dragging the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Dayan Mang's knot is already a victory, so why take the risk.

"But what if they are detected by Dayan Mang's rebellion?" Plobozi asked.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "If you notice it, you will notice it, you guys, you are still too worried, just those trenches dug by Dayan Mangjiebo himself, if they can stump us, they can't stump them?"

This guy was also kicked in the head by a donkey, and he didn't care about his head, we couldn't get in, so he couldn't get out.

Alright, this thing ......"

"Your Highness." Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Wei Chi Baolin opened the curtain and rushed in hurriedly, "The news from Hezhou over there, King Qiuzi has attacked the city. ”

As soon as he heard what he said, Li Chengqian didn't care about what to say, and immediately stood up, smashed his hand with his fist, and said, "Okay! Good! Good! ”

With three good words in a row, it is not difficult to see Li Chengqian's excitement.

"In this way, Niu Jinda must have already waved his troops to ambush the city!"

The rest of the people were stunned when they heard him say this.

Niu Jinda waved his troops to ambush the city?

Where did the soldiers come from?

The key is that Murong Fuyun actually dared to wave his troops to attack Hezhou, which is too fucking crazy.

"Your Highness, will this news be ......" Yi Yuanfeng said in disbelief, "Murong Fuyun is not so bold, right?" ”

"Huh." Li Chengqian smiled when he heard him say this, "You still underestimate Murong Fuyun, as long as you have enough interests, let alone attack Hezhou, even if you slaughter Hezhou, he will dare."

At the end of the day, it's all about profit.

And, if you think about it, where is that, that's River State?

If you want to fight Hezhou, where do you think you have to send troops from? ”

"Shimizu River?" Zhao Yan was immediately stunned, "King Zhao is anti-Tang?" ”

"Look, that's what you think." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "This is the purpose of the people, as for King Zhao, hehe, everyone knows that he has been calculated, it depends on how he explains." ”

"Wait." Prubzi seemed to think of something, and said, "Your Highness just said that Niu Jinda waved his troops and went straight to Fuqi City?" Where did the soldiers come from? ”

"The defenders of River State." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "If the defenders of Hezhou don't send troops, how dare King Qiuzi attack the city?" ”

As he spoke, he briefly explained his deployment to Hezhou to everyone.

After listening to this, a group of people were stunned.

Feelings, Li Chengqian is not only in Douhe County, even in Datang, he has arrangements.

It's just that this one link is linked to another, which really surprised them.

"Then why didn't General Niu just wave his troops south and join General Qibi?" Ihara was a little puzzled.

Obviously, now that the battle on their side is even more stalemate, if there is a new force to support it at this time, it will definitely have a surprising effect.

"It's never the best choice to get a dog out of the woods." Li Chengqian said, "After more than half of the defenders of Hezhou were transferred, the strength was less than 10,000, and even if it was put into the battlefield of Douhe County, it would actually have little effect.

Moreover, they could not achieve the most perfect cooperation with the Western Army.

The most important thing is, do you really think that Murong Fuyun will not guard against Qingshui Chuan?

If this king's estimate is correct, whether it is going south or westward and going straight to Fu Qi City, Murong Fuyun has made arrangements. After all, that old thing even arranged for people to raid Hezhou, how could it not prevent the defenders of Hezhou from going south?

Since you can't achieve a practical strategic goal by going south, why not try the Fuqi Castle side? ”

The most important reason, Li Chengqian did not say, was that he could not command the defenders of Hezhou to wave troops south to support Qibi He Li.

That's the most important thing.

Therefore, the defenders of Hezhou do not seem to have a second way except to march west to take the city of Fuqi.

It's just that Murong Fuyun will never understand this truth.

He has always equated the Tang prince with the king of the Ming Dynasty, but how did he know that the prince of the Tang Dynasty is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the king of the Ming Dynasty is the king of the Ming Dynasty.

It may be a bit of a tongue to say this, but it's just the way it is.

For these two identities, Li Chengqian distinguishes them very clearly.

Sometimes, don't look at such a small matter, but just such a small thing, but in terms of his identity, he may lose all the games at any time because of this little thing.

"Your Highness, what should we do in the current situation?" Zhao Yan asked at the right time.

Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said: "In this way, Baolin, you will send someone to inform General Qibi, Xi Tong, Shusun Hai and Dabuqu now, and say that this king has sent troops to besiege Fuqi City, and the city can be broken at any time."

The war has been fought until now, and there has been no breakthrough, and it is time to put a good news to boost morale.

At the same time, tell General Qibi that the news of the siege of Fuqi City can be publicized, whether it is Murong Fuyun, Tuoba Zhao, or even those displaced people in Douhe County, they can let them know. ”

"The last general understands, so let's arrange it." Yu Chi Baolin understood as soon as he heard it.

This is going to be a psychological warfare.

Under the elimination of the other's strengths, it may be an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to break the enemy.

"You too, go back and inform the news so that the whole army will be happy."

As soon as Yu Chi Baolin left, Li Chengqian said to Yi Yuanfeng and the others.

Several people also understood.

By now, we really need good news to stimulate the big guys.

"Gao Chunxing, by the way, also sent the news back to Sun Moon Mountain, Sun Moon Mountain should have been under a lot of pressure during this time, just right, sending the news back also gave them a hope.

This battle is not only our pressure, but also the pressure on Pushangshu, it's time for them to see hope. ”

When Li Chengqian was in his later years, he often heard that the stock of a listed company rose sharply because of a good news, and the stock would also plummet because of a bad news.

At this point, he is applying this set of theories.

I don't know how it will actually work, but it's always worth a try.

There is no cost to the left and right.

And, now is the time to give everyone a hope.

After all, this battle has been fought for several months now, and if it continues like this, he can't see the slightest hope, and he is also worried that the Ming Dynasty, which has no foundation, will collapse in an instant.

With this good news, no matter what, the Ming court can hold on for a while longer.

And now, it's up to whoever lasts longer.

"The last general will wait for this to inform everyone, so that everyone will be happy." Seeing that Li Chengqian had no other orders, Yi Yuanfeng and the others immediately bowed down and retreated.

And as soon as they left, Li Chengqian studied it again on the Kanyu map.

In the final analysis, he actually didn't know where Niu Jin had reached, saying that he was besieging the city of Ambush, which was just a casual remark he said, but he must have entered the hinterland of Tuyuhun, which is absolutely true.

"Liu San, how long have they been gone?" After studying the map for a while, Li Chengqian suddenly asked.

Gao Chunxing, who had just finished writing the paperwork, heard the words and counted the days and said, "It's been more than ten days until today." ”

"It's not an easy journey for them, and I don't know what happened to them."

Li Chengqian said, also worried.

At the end of the day, their side is also the key.

"Your Highness, don't worry, we have contacted the clansmen of Ashina, they will cover Wang Shilang and them, and Liu San and they are all battle-hardened warriors, and they will definitely successfully complete everything that His Highness has explained."

"I hope so." Li Chengqian shook his head and said regretfully, "In the final analysis, the current strength of my Ming Dynasty is not good, if you give this king another year, why should this king be so calculating, even if it is the Western Turks, what if the countries of the Western Regions come together, this king can also push them sideways!" ”

"Your Highness has done enough." Gao Chunxing was speechless to the extreme, what you have done this year is exaggerated enough, many people can't do this in their lifetime, what do you have to regret? Of course, thinking so, he still said, "Weichen has always believed that one day, His Royal Highness will be able to sweep through the Western Regions and build the Ming Dynasty into an empire that is not inferior to the Tang Dynasty at all." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian smiled and didn't say much.

Not inferior to Datang?

Hehe......
