After waiting for about half an hour, the guards brought Guo Yuanzhen to Li Jing.

Guo Yuanzhen is a middle-aged man who is seven feet tall, with a mediocre appearance, white and clean, with a beard, wearing a dark crimson official robe, and a goldfish bag around his waist.

"Xiaguan Guo Yuanzhen, meet His Royal Highness the Regent!"

Entering the big tent, Guo Yuanzhen immediately saluted Li Jing.

"Guo Yuanzhen, are you guilty?"

Li Jing asked.

"I don't know what crime the lower officials committed to disturb His Royal Highness the Regent?"

When Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he straightened up and asked.

"You have privately minted coins, plundered and sold people, and brutalized the people of Diezhou, and your accumulated crimes are simply unspeakable!"

Li Jing said angrily.

"His Royal Highness the Lord Regent is wrong to say this! As the assassin of Diezhou, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the lower officials have the right to mint coins, and as for plundering and selling people, it is even more wronged!"

"The people sold by the lower officials are all the relatives of some criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes, and I sold them according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, what is the crime? ……”

Guo Yuanzhen has words and uses the laws of the Tang Dynasty to refute Li Jing, but he can find a basis in the laws of the Tang Dynasty for all the crimes that Li Jing counts.

In short, he is a law-abiding assassin, everything he does is carried out in accordance with the law, he Guo Yuanzhen is not guilty, but meritorious!

Li Jing was speechless by Guo Yuanzhen, and he really couldn't find any reason to treat Guo Yuanzhen's crime.

Even if Li Jing knew that Guo Yuanzhen was really exploiting the loopholes of the law, there was no way to take him.

"You're not guilty?"

Li Jing asked.

"What is the crime of the lower officials?"

"If you contradict me, it is tantamount to despising Your Majesty, and what kind of crime is it to bully the king?"

Li Jing smiled and said, Xiaoxiao, I can't cure you, I say you are guilty, you are guilty!

Knock on it!

Li Jing, you don't talk about martial arts, and you harm me, an honest man.

But what can be done, people are now in high power, holding the authority of the empire, and even the emperor is imprisoned, what is he doing against others!

"The lower official is guilty, please punish the regent!"

Guo Yuanzhen knelt on the ground and kowtowed to confess his guilt, which is called a person who knows the times as a handsome man!

"If you have a good attitude in confessing your guilt, I will remove you from your position as an assassin historian, stay with this king, and be a master bookkeeper!"

Li Jing opened his mouth to speak about Guo Yuanzhen's trial.

"Thank you, Regent!"

After hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen was not annoyed by the loss of the assassination history, but felt a little happy in his heart.

Stay by the side of the regent Li Jing, are you afraid that there will be no chance of promotion?

As long as he performs well, he will definitely be appreciated by the regent, and it won't be long before he will be promoted and raised, enter the court, become the prime minister, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life!

Li Jing was full of joy and helped Guo Yuanzhen up.

Just then, a fast horse came galloping, and the scout jumped off his horse and rushed into the tent.

"Report, the vanguard of Tubo has set off for Diezhou!"

"How long will it take for the Tibetan army to arrive in Diezhou?"

Li Jing asked.

"About ten days!"

The scout said.

Li Jing waved his hand to let the scout retreat, and continued to inquire about the movement of the Tibetan army, Li Jing came to the sand table.

Guo Yuanzhen also followed, and was shocked by the sand table in front of him!

"Regent, what is this? It can vividly display the terrain, which is simply the terrain and soil, mountains, rivers, cities and villages that have been reduced countless times. ”

Guo Yuanzhen asked.

"This thing is called the sand table, the war pays attention to the right time, place and people, and is indispensable, I sent a number of trained scouts to find out the terrain in advance, and first draw a contour map."

"Then use cement, clay, grass and trees to make models of various places, combined with contour maps to place mountains, rivers, cities, mountains and villages and trees and other terrain."

"The sand table can vividly display the terrain, which is helpful for us to study the terrain, enemy situation, combat plan, organize coordinated actions and use it in peacetime training."

Li Jing pointed to the sand table and explained the role of the sand table to Guo Yuanzhen.

Guo Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, as if a brand new door had opened in front of him, which made him feel extremely novel and surprised!

Although he had never heard of a contour map, he could also understand from Li Jing's words that the contour map was more accurate than the existing maps of Datang.

With this sand table in front of you, you can more accurately calculate the enemy's actions, and the Tang army can prepare in advance and catch the enemy by surprise!

"Regent, if Tubo wants to attack Diezhou, he must draw troops and horses from here!"

Guo Yuanzhen pointed to a local road.

Li Jing followed the place where Guo Yuanzhen's finger pointed, where a small flag was planted, and the word Tuyuhun was written on it.

Since Tuyuhun was occupied by Tubo, Tubo has stationed a large number of troops in Tuyuhun, the purpose of which is to use Tuyuhun as a pedal to advance to the depth of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, it was a breeze for Tubo to mobilize a large army in the Tuyuhun territory.

"Look at the regent again, there is a valley here, called Shishi Valley, if Tubo really wants to attack Diezhou, this Shishi Valley is the only way for the enemy to pass!"

"The terrain of the Shibo Valley is long and narrow, which is conducive to ambushes, and the minister feels that he can send troops to ambush on both sides of the valley, and wait for the Tubo army to enter the Shibo Valley, and then our army will kill from both sides, and it will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on Tubo."

Guo Yuanzhen really didn't cover it, no wonder he could become a prime minister and a famous general, his military level was really good, and he studied the battle plan from the sand table so quickly.

Li Jing admired Guo Yuanzhen very much, and encouraged Guo Yuanzhen to make persistent efforts and make more contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter, and he wanted to make military deployments.

Beat the drums, gather the generals!

All the generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army!

Li Jing appealed to the general for the military report that was coming from Diezhou, the vanguard of the Tubo army.

The generals asked for help, willing to lead troops to destroy the vanguard of Tibet.

Li Jing waved his hand to make the generals quiet, pointed to the sand table and said:

"This time, the vanguard of Tubo is coming from the direction of Tuyuhun, and the Tubo army wants to attack Diezhou, and this is the way they must go!"

The generals leaned over and looked at the location Li Jing was pointing to, which was a valley.

"Shazha Zhongyi, you take 3,000 people and ambush in the mountains on the left side of the Shishi Valley!"

"The last general commands!"

Sha Zha Zhongyi responded with his fists clenched.

"Lou Shide, you take 3,000 people and ambush in the mountains on the right side of Shishi Valley!"

"The last general commands!"

Lou Shide clasped his fists and saluted.

"Mu Li and Wen Sha, the two of you led the Pingyi Guard and the Dingyi Guard, went around to the rear of the enemy army, and cut off the enemy's rear road."

"The last general obeys!"

Mu Li and Wen Sha took the order.

"The rest of the generals, follow the king to block the enemy army head-on, and all the troops will gather their troops and horses, and set off immediately! Be sure to rush to the designated place before the enemy arrives at the Shibu Valley, if you don't arrive on time and delay the fighter, you will be killed immediately!"

Li Jing looked at the generals and said with a serious face.

"Yes!"

The generals clasped their fists and saluted.

At the end of the military meeting, all the troops took action, and each set off quickly with their troops and horses.
