Chapter Twenty-Five: Who Are Our Enemies?
Of the three towns in Guanzhong, Han Jian had the least power, but the threat to Chang'an was the greatest.
The military administration of Zhenguo is located in Huazhou, which is only more than 100 miles away from Chang'an, and has jurisdiction over two prefectures and counties of Huazhou and Tongzhou, and also controls Tongguan.
The rest is just that, Tongguan is a strategic place, from ancient times to the present, it has been the gate of the Middle East, and taking Tongguan is equivalent to Li Ye finally having a door, so that he will not wait for Zhu Wen to come in directly.
Han Jian was born in Caizhou, Caizhou soldiers were definitely mudslide-like existences in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, all of them were fierce people, after Qin Zongquan ascended the throne, Caizhou became everyone's nightmare.
Zhang Jun fooled Zhaozong to attack Li Keyong in Hedong, Han Jian responded positively, and took 300 people to prepare a sneak attack on Li Cunxiao, but was leaked by an undercover agent in the DPRK, but was wrapped in dumplings by Li Cunxiao, Han Jian was under siege, but he was able to kill a bloody way from Li Cunxiao, and he had to say that he was also one of the fierce people in the world.
Moreover, Han Jian has a good governance in Huazhou, recruiting displaced people and restoring people's livelihood, which is quite popular with the people. Such a person doesn't need to think about it to know that it is a hard bone.
However, Li Ye knew that Han Jian had to die!
Because in history, when Zhaozong wanted to defect to Li Keyong, he was deceived into Huazhou by Han Jian, imprisoned for three years, and wantonly slaughtered Li Tang's clan and Zhaozong's henchmen, regardless of old and young, since then, Li Tang has completely declined.
This is a fierce and cunning old wolf.
And right next to him.
In the Tianxin Pavilion, the eyes of the four monarchs and ministers fell on the territory of the Zhenguo Army.
A period of strategic opportunity has finally arrived.
Li Ye rushed back to Xiliu City and summoned all the officers in the army, including Shi Chang, overnight to discuss the matter, and Zhou Yunyi of Hidden Dragon Valley was also recalled.
Li Ye's gaze swept majestically over the young and resolute faces, seeing the reverence in their eyes.
"Are you willing to save Datang?" When he said this, his tone was very flat, because at this time, he wanted to hear the sincere words of these young people more than anything else.
"Yes!" A fire burst into their eyes. "Are you willing to put an end to this troubled world?" Li Ye's voice gradually became high-pitched.
"Yes!" A flame rose in their eyes.
"It's not an easy road, you're going to bleed, you're going to be wounded, you're going to die, are you still willing?" At this moment, Li Ye completely forgot the identity of the emperor, as if he had returned to the hot-blooded young man who had sighed countless times at the crossroads of the history books, sighed for this long-suffering nation, and sighed for this war-torn land.
"Yes!" The next day, the entire city of Hosoyanagi was mobilized.
Collecting food and grass, arranging equipment, training new troops, and expanding the number of Janissaries once again.
The opportunity is fleeting, Li Ye can't afford to wait, and Datang can't afford to wait.
"In two months at most, there will be a big war!" Li Ye said to the nine commanders around him.
Many of the homeless people and bandits were originally officers and rebels, and with a little training, they were an elite army.
The nine people all stood silently behind Li Ye.
"Tuoba Yungui, tell me who the enemy is?" Li Ye said by name.
provoked Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu, but Li Ye did not inform them.
Tuoba Yungui had a black face, which looked even darker at the moment, and replied honestly: "The last general doesn't know." ”
"An Sicheng?" Li Ye looked at another person.
"Li Maozhen?" An Sicheng is not sure.
"Zhang Xingjin, you say." Li Ye directly ordered the most slippery Zhang Xingjin.
Zhang Xingjin said categorically: "Han Jian! ”
He was able to say it, Li Ye was not surprised, this guy can be said to be the most intelligent one among the nine rabbit cubs, and Li Ye also intended to cultivate him, "Why Han Jian?" ”
The others' eyes turned to Zhang Xingjin. Zhang Xingjin was not timid at all, and talked eloquently: "Li Maozhen is too strong, Wang Xingyu is too far away, and Han Jian poses the greatest threat to us." ”
Li Ye said with a smile: "What if we deal with Han Jian, Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu send troops to intervene?" ”
Zhang Xingjin smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty has used troops against Han Jian, it means that Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu can't come." ”
Li Ye shook his head: "Opportunistic, Zhou Yunyi, you say."
Zhou Yunyi pondered for a moment and said: "If our army attacks Han Jian, we must quickly capture the Zhenguo army, Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu reacted, Chang'an is not so easy to fight, if they come together, our army can also sneak attack their empty rear, when the time comes, they will be trapped under the fortified city, and the rear base camp will be captured, and the army's heart will plummet, and it will be defeated!" ”
Li Ye looked at Zhou Yunyi in a daze, this guy is deeply hidden.
Even blitzkrieg and sneak attacks on the rear were made.
not only proposed how to deal with Han Jian, but also figured out how to deal with the coalition of Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu.
And all from a military point of view, the feasibility is very high.
This guy's level shouldn't be unknown in history.
Li Ye was shocked in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he nodded slightly, which could be regarded as agreement.
In fact, the most useful one proposed by Zhou Yunyi is to solve it quickly.
At the moment, Han Jian didn't know that Li Ye was going to deal with him, so Li Ye took the initiative.
At this time, Yuan Jingcheng came from a distance, his face was not very good-looking, he hesitated, and he looked like he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.
Li Ye waved away the nine people around him and took the initiative to ask, "What is Jing Cheng worried about?" ”
Yuan Jingcheng sighed: "Poor Guanzhong is going to fight again, I don't know how many new bones will be added." ”
Li Ye knew that when he was a literati, he was compassionate and compassionate, he was looking at the present, and Li Ye was looking at history, "Is there a paradise in this world?" Can the world be stable with only benevolence and righteousness? Is there still a place in this world where there is no bloodshed? ”
After three questions in a row, Yuan Jingcheng, who asked them, was speechless.
"Stop bleeding with blood, stop war with war, which prosperous era is not paved with countless white bones by predecessors?" Li Ye stared into his eyes.
Yuan Jingcheng is actually a person who lives in the ideal world of the book, and the way of Confucius and Mencius, Confucian benevolence and righteousness, have long occupied his body and mind.
But such people are destined to be abandoned by this cruel world.
"The way of Confucius and Mencius can be used for education in prosperous times, but it can't be practiced in troubled times, how can beasts know benevolence and righteousness? The only way to deal with beasts is to use a sword! "It's not that Yuan Jingcheng hasn't seen the ferocity of Huang Chao, they are no longer human, but he can't accept the fine willow city that he has built bit by bit, and he is involved in the war again.
There are some things that he can only figure out on his own.
Since Xiliucheng was mobilized, Li Ye rushed back to Chang'an.
The main force attacking Han Jian was the Shence Army, and the Praetorian Guard could only be used as a surprise soldier.
Li Ye was actually reluctant to expose the existence of the Praetorian Guard too soon, which would cause alarm in other feudal towns. Li Ye had already made preparations in the Zhenguo army, but he was not sure that he would capture Han Jian in a battle.
This person led 300 people to dare to attack Li Cunxiao, and he was able to break out of the encirclement, which shows that he is a fierce general.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Ye felt funny, how can there be a flawless plan in the world, the success is in the sky, and the plan is in the people.
After staying in Chang'an for a day, Wang Xingyu's reply came to Liu Quanli.
Liu Quanli hurriedly came to see Li Ye.
Wang Xingyu said in the letter that when he endured Li Maozhen for a long time, he only hated the lonely palm, and if Liu Quanli could provoke the emperor to issue an edict against Li Maozhen, he Wang Xingyu would be the first to stand up.
Li Ye read the letter and secretly sighed that this Wang Xingyu was really not stupid, and wanted the court to take the blame.
Li Ye is not stupid, if he really gives an edict, Li Maozhen will lead his troops to attack Chang'an in anger, and he will set himself on fire, and Wang Xingyu will be able to watch the fire from the other side.
Who dares to trust Wang Xingyu's character? His old superior, Zhu Mei, believed it, and was sent to heaven by him himself.
Okay, since you don't want to do it first, then I'll add more fire! Li Ye thought so, and his eyes returned to Liu Quanli, "If you give him another blow, you will say that Li Maozhen colluded with Han Quanzhi and asked the imperial court to issue an edict to entitle Li Jiyun as the envoy of the Suining Festival." ”
Li Jiyun is Li Maozhen's righteous son and a general under Li Maozhen.
If Li Maozhen didn't have the intention of annexing Suining Town, no one would believe that every feudal town wanted to become bigger and stronger these days.
The two families are like wolves and tigers, how can they coexist peacefully?
In the past, it was because they wanted to bully the court together, so they showed intimacy.
In fact, the crack had already occurred, and Li Ye didn't believe that after the wind penetrated out, Wang Xingyu was still sitting still.
If he sat still, Li Ye would really dare to issue an edict to entitle Li Jiyun as the envoy of the Suining Festival.
Knowing that it is a pit, you Wang Xingyu have to jump into it!
