The morning light rises, and the warmth spreads throughout the palace, which is quiet.

The ministers walked out of the Zichen Hall in twos and threes, but intentionally or unintentionally, all their attention fell on Xue Rengui, Liu Xianli and Li Xuan.

Outside the Danfeng Gate, Liu Renliang stopped and turned to look at Li Xuan, Xue Rengui and Liu Xianli.

The three of them immediately stopped and obeyed the order.

Liu Renliang said calmly: "Your Majesty has an order, the battle strategy of the Battle of Wuhai must be handed over to the political hall today, and the three of them will stay in the imperial city today, when will they be handed over after writing, and when will they return home." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan, Xue Rengui and Liu Xianli gave up their orders at the same time.

Previously, in Hanyuan Palace, Empress Wu limited the number of troops that could cross the bitter sea and attack Wuhai, and there could only be 5,000 elites.

Therefore, no matter what kind of plan Xue Rengui and Liu Xianli had before, they had to be reformulated.

But the emperor and the Empress Wu only gave one day.

Within one day, the strategy of sending troops in the first battle of Wuhai must be written in a book.

After Liu Renliang turned around and left, Li Xuan smiled bitterly and said to Xue Rengui and Liu Xianli: "Two uncles, Xuan will leave first, Xuan is inexperienced, so he can only fly first, just don't just be a foil when the time comes." ”

"The king of Nanchang has novel ideas and unique vision, there is always a way to surprise, and it is quite useful, and I hope that the prince can express his heart and give advice." Xue Rengui returned the salute to Li Xuan seriously, and had to admit that some of Li Xuan's thoughts today really amazed him.

"Don't dare." Li Xuan once again bowed his hand to Xue Rengui and Liu Xianli, and took the lead in saying goodbye.

……

Looking at the back of Li Xuan's departure, Xue Rengui turned to look at Liu Xianli with some surprise: "Brother Xianli, this King of Nanchang is really based on his own military merits, which really surprises Xue. ”

Before returning to Chang'an, although Xue Rengui knew something about Li Xuan, Xue Rengui somewhat did not fully believe in his military exploits in Qingnan.

After all, Liu Renliang, the generalissimo of the Northwest Road March, is Li Xuan's Yue Weng, and in this case, it is normal to secretly do some hand and foot support.

But when I saw the court meeting today, Li Xuan's astonishing thinking surprised Xue Rengui.

Even he was secretly thinking that if he was in Dafeichuan back then, it was not Guo Zhifeng who followed him, but Li Xuan, then the result would be very different.

Liu Xianli shook his head slightly, and explained: "The younger brother once saw the king of Nanchang with his own eyes, and in the interval between changing hands, he used 1,000 cavalry to defeat 30,000 cavalry, and wiped out more than half of them.

Brother Xue, if you can't defeat 100,000 Tubo cavalry with 5,000 this time, I'm afraid you will really have a hard time. ”

Xue Rengui nodded calmly and said, "If you don't consider the grain and grass and the plateau miasma, then it will be easy to kill him with more than 100,000 Tubo soldiers." ”

Liu Xianli was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly and said: "The prince of Pingyang County is really the prince of Pingyang County, and he is really arrogant, and he is ashamed of himself, so he will leave first." ”

"After the New Year's Pilgrimage, drink two cups together." Xue Rengui greeted, Liu Xianli nodded, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Liu Xianli leaving, Xue Rengui's expression became completely solemn.

This Ministry of Industry is not conspicuous, and he is the most vigilant.

As for Li Xuan, as Li Xuan himself said, this time he was just accompanying the prince to study.

Although it was not explicitly stated this time, the commander of the army in the First Battle of Wuhai, the emperor and the Empress Wu first considered Liu Xianli, and then Xue Rengui.

After all, Xue Rengui had been defeated by the hands of Non Qinling once, and it would inevitably be worrying to fight again.

It's not that he won't be given a chance to take revenge, but he just bets on the entire Tang Dynasty's state operation, and the emperor and Empress Wu can't do such a thing.

Therefore, Xue Rengui is required to have an amazing marching strategy.

At the very least, he had to defeat the Qinling in the sand table deduction of the military department.

If he can't even defeat the Qin Ling on the sand table, then there is no need to make him the commander of the army.

Xue Rengui calmly walked towards the imperial city.

At this time, a figure walked out of Danfeng Gate.

Dressed in a blue robe, the world is really bright and worshipful.

Ming Chongyan lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Zichen Palace, and his eyes were extremely bright for a while.

……

Honglu Temple, Shaoqing official party.

Li Xuan sat behind the table, his hand was like ink, and an article had been rapidly formed under his hands.

After drying, Li Xuan put the music in place, and then stood up.

At this time, it was already afternoon.

Li Xuan first sorted out the affairs of Honglu Temple, and then explained the relevant affairs to Liu Boying, the secretary of Honglu Temple, before turning around and leaving.

If nothing else, he will be transferred to the official document of the Changzhou Assassin History, and he will come down after the New Year.

At that time, it was a little late to do the handover, so I simply took advantage of the official office to close the door and dispose of everything properly.

sent his own recital to the political affairs hall, and Li Xuan slowly walked into the ministry.

And soon he met Li Jingxuan, the secretary of the ministry.

"Respect for Xuangong." Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly to Li Jingxuan, and then handed over a copy of this chapter in his hand, and said at the same time: "This is the list of Hu Cao to join the army and the Guide County Order temporarily selected by the Ministry of Officials this time, Xuan took the liberty to investigate, these two people do not seem to be very suitable for Changzhou. ”

"Good!" Li Jingxuan accepted it calmly.

He was not too surprised, the powerful people in the court would make some moves in this situation.

However, when Li Xuan asked him for the transfer list, he still felt a little surprised, these things are enough to find the people below to operate, and there are very few people who directly find him.

Li Xuan continued: "There seems to be something wrong with these two people, Jing Xuangong might as well check it out for himself." ”

"Oh?" Li Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded seriously: "Don't worry, if there is really something, the officials will not sit idly by." ”

"In this way, thank you to Jing Xuangong." Li Xuan sincerely thanked him, and then said with a smile: "In fact, in the border areas of Changzhou, there should not be all kinds of restrictions on employing people, but some people, some of the things they did earlier, once they are verified, they will be in danger of going to prison immediately, so in order to avoid trouble in the future, it is better to screen a little first." ”

"I see." Li Jingxuan finally understood.

Li Xuan did not contact these people in private, and then let these people join his command, but to verify the details of these people, leaving no hidden dangers for the future.

He originally thought that these two were people that Li Xuan had not won over, so he replaced them.

Now it seems that he has a bit of a villain's heart.

"How is Brother Si Chong lately, I haven't seen him for a few days?" Li Xuan asked casually.

"As a county lieutenant in Nanyang County, things are doing quite well." Li Jingxuan couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"I can make Jing Xuangong praise, Brother Si Chong is really good." Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although Li Jingxuan is a good gentleman, he has served as the secretary of the ministry and has been elected for many years, but he is rare but has been praised by the people of the world.

There have been many officials who have come to complain because they have not been selected, and Li Jingxuan can dictate the mistakes in their written judgments on the spot, and there is no mistake.

This ability is truly extraordinary.

Li Sichong, as the lieutenant of Nanyang County, if he messes around, I'm afraid no matter how many hands and feet he has, he won't be able to hide his eyes.

Now it seems that Li Sichong really has some ability.

As soon as his eyes rolled, Li Xuan understood in his heart that this was probably the reason for the full cooperation of the Dengzhou locality.

It would be good for ordinary officials not to have conflicts with the localities, and how many of them can get the full cooperation of the localities.

The son of the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu is not too much to have this treatment.

"It's a pity, the border is dangerous, otherwise Xuan would have transferred Brother Sichong to Changzhou." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, stood up and arched his hand at Li Jingxuan: "Jingxuan Gong, if there is nothing else to do, Xuan will retire first, and dare not disturb the official affairs of the Ministry again." ”

"The prince is not in a hurry." Li Jingxuan held Li Xuan's hand, looked at him thoughtfully, and said: "The matter of Wuhai, the prince is also one of the main generals, and I have to consult the prince about today's matter." ”

"I don't dare to ask for advice as a respectful Xuangong." Li Xuan hurriedly surrendered his hand and said very politely: "Jing Xuangong but if he asked, Xuan Bi will answer wholeheartedly." ”

Li Jingxuan pulled Li Xuan to sit down, and then asked: "The prince should also see that the candidates for the coach of the first battle in Wuhai, Pingyang County Gong and Pengcheng County Gongfu are all interested, but the situation is different, and the people used are also different." If according to the prince's proposal today, only 5,000 people will be transferred to Wuhai, who does the prince think is more appropriate? ”

"The decision on this matter should be in the hands of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven." Li Xuan arched his hand in the direction of Zichen Palace, and then said: "The battle of Wuhai is actually not so much about my strategy as it is actually about the actions of the Tubo people. ”

Taking a light breath, Li Xuan continued: "On the ability of Qinling is not under the marshals, looking at the battle of Xinghai this year, you know that it is still the set of luring the enemy deep and cutting off the grain route, so the battle of Wuhai and the battle of Kuhai is extremely important."

If you can defeat the main force of the Tubo army in the bitter sea, it will be much easier to continue to press or hold on to the city. ”

"But the Qinling Tomb will not give us such a chance." Li Jingxuan pointed out the problem in a word.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "If Xuan is about the Qin Tomb, he will arrange 3,000 elite horsemen in the Sea of Bitterness, carry 30,000 bows and arrows, and leave after shooting." ”

Three thousand cavalrymen, each with ten bows and arrows, were light and feasible enough for the Tibetans.

Although Li Jingxuan didn't know how much damage this would cause to Datang, he also understood that it would not be easy to break through these three thousand elite horses.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "On Qinling, this is a test of the combat strength of our forward, if our army can easily break through the sea of suffering, then he will immediately mobilize his troops to retreat, drag out the grain road, and be ready for a fatal blow at any time." ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said cautiously: "If it is the county prince of Pingyang, I am afraid that it will keep chasing, but if it is the county prince of Pengcheng, I am afraid that it will be slow and slow, and finally hold on to the city, this is the difference between the two." ”

"So what will be the effect?" Li Jingxuan couldn't help but ask.

"If Qinling knows that the opponent is the prince of Pingyang, I am afraid that he will fight with him in Wuhai, and the number of troops will not be too much, more than 10,000, but they are all elite, the strength is enough, and failure will not hurt the muscles and bones."

Li Xuan looked up at Li Jingxuan and said: "If you win, you don't need to say it again, if you lose, then continue to lure the enemy deeper, watch the grain road, and block the reinforcements." ”

Encirclement and reinforcements.

"Then what if the opponent is the prince of Pengcheng?" Li Jingxuan followed up and asked.

"There is still this battle, but the main force of Tubo under Wuhai will have more people, maybe 350,000." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said seriously: "When our army starts a war with Tubo, the battlefield is the first choice of Dafeichuan, followed by the bitter sea, and then the Wuhai, but if we go further, I am afraid that a big defeat will be inevitable." ”

Li Jingxuan nodded lightly, his face solemn.
