Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 103 The main and deputy envoys disagree

During the conversation when they came here, Li Zhiyun had roughly understood that there was a difference of opinion between Li Shentong and Cui Mingan.

Li Shentong advocated attacking Yuhuaji, while Cui Mingan felt that Datang's current focus is not in Hebei, so their main task should be to resist and deter the bandit forces in Hebei, and slow down the pace of attack.

Both of them have their own opinions, and they are probably justified when they say it.Li Shentong and Li Zhiyun have the same opinion, that is, to take the initiative to attack Yu Wenhuaji.

After all, Yu Wenhuaji had already been severely injured in the previous battle with Li Mi, and without the support of other forces behind him, he could not support himself.Coupled with the fact that he lives in Weizhou and is unfamiliar with the place, he can take this opportunity to wipe out Yu Wenhuaji in one fell swoop.

"How about this, let's persuade them to surrender first, and then attack." Li Zhiyun suggested.

"How to persuade them to surrender?" Cui Mingan asked.

Li Zhiyun said: "Most of Yu Wenhua and the Xiaoguo army under his command are the children of Guanlong. As long as they are willing to surrender voluntarily, we can pardon their crime of being a thief. Of course, before that, we must first attack Yu Wenhua and beat him to the pain. , in this way, the effect of persuading surrender is bound to get twice the result with half the effort, what do you two think?"

Cui Mingan remained silent. He already knew what the King of Chu meant, which was to support Li Shentong's attack on Yu Wenhuaji.

"The subordinates think that it is better to be careful."

Li Shentong snorted coldly, be careful, be careful all day long, can you beat Yuhuahuaji by being careful?
"If Cui Shilang is afraid, there is no need to go to the battlefield."

Hearing this, Cui Min felt a sting in his neck, "The sage entrusts his subordinates as deputy envoys, so there is no reason for his subordinates to be afraid!"

He wasn't afraid at all, he was just worried that it would be wrong to attack Yuhuahua.

Li Zhiyun persuaded Li Shentong, "Uncle Emperor, Cui Shilang is also dedicated to serving the country."

"I hope so." Li Shentong's contemptuous eyes had revealed his inner disdain.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyun silently supported his forehead.He thought to himself that Lao Li had a big heart, and actually asked Cui Mingan to cooperate with Li Shentong. The two people are so opposed, and sooner or later there will be problems.

Li Shentong wanted to attack Yuhuahua and make meritorious deeds, and Li Zhiyun also expressed his support. Cui Mingan had no choice but to agree.

Soon, the soldiers fetched a map of Weizhou.

Seeing the name on the map, Li Zhiyun felt a little bit like he lived in Bengbu.Because it says 'Map of Wuyang County' impressively.

Wuyang County in the former Sui Dynasty and Weizhou in the Tang Dynasty.

Hmm, no problem.

"Currently, Yu Wenhuaji's troops are stationed in Wei County, two hundred miles away from Anyang, and they have to cross the Huan River in the middle. According to the scouts and reconnaissance in the past few days, we estimate that Yu Wenhuaji's current military strength is about [-]." The general who introduced the situation was named Zhao Junde. He was once a general of Li Mi's army. After Li Mi surrendered to Tang, he also surrendered.Lao Li named him the governor of Beizhou, and cooperated with Li Shentong to defend Hebei.

So the question is, where is Bay State?
The answer is in the hands of Dou Jiande.

Obviously, this is an empty canon.

"We have [-] people!" Li Shentong said proudly.

Zhao Junde nodded and said yes, "Wei County is not a fortified city, as long as the attack is done properly, it will not be a problem to take down Yuhuahua."

Li Zhiyun pondered slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, then Yu Wenhuaji will probably not stick to Wei County. He has no reinforcements outside. If he sticks to it, he will definitely lose. This king guesses that once the emperor's uncle leads the army to Wei County, Yu Wenhuaji will not It is likely to run away. Of course, he will resist for a while first, but this king thinks that he will eventually go north, either into Mingzhou or into Beizhou."

"But Dou Jiande is in the north, so Yu Wenhuaji is going to die?" Cui Mingan asked.

Li Zhiyun said: "If he stays, he will definitely die, but there is still a way out to the north, what choice does Cui Shilang think Yu Wenhuaji will make?"

That means there is no choice.Cui Mingan thought silently in his heart.

Li Shentong laughed and said, "Zhiyun, do you also want to join the battle?"

"Imperial Uncle Rong, when I came, my father had ordered my nephew to cooperate with my uncle to garrison Hebei, and everything will be arranged by my uncle."

"Okay." Li Shen said, "Since you think Yu Wenhuaji will flee north, then I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses to go to Mingzhou to intercept Yu Wenhuaji, how about it?"

"As ordered."

Later, Li Shentong ordered Cui Mingan to arrange for Li Zhiyun's troops to camp.

"King Chu, I really don't understand why you must attack Yu Wenhuaji now?" Cui Minqian looked at Li Zhiyun who dismantled the tent with his own hands, and said, "When Dou Jiande and Yu Wenhuaji are both defeated, I, the Tang Army, will kill two birds with one stone. "

Literati thought.

Li Zhiyun explained: "Cui Shilang, Dou Jiande is not Yu Wenhuaji. Then Dou Jiande is a tiger in Hebei, and his troops are strong. When Dou Jiande destroys Yu Wenhuaji, I am afraid that it will be our Tang army who will be under pressure. At that time, Dou Jiande led the army. The prestige of victory, the morale of the three armies is high, if they attack Xiangzhou in one go, does Cui Shilang think the Tang army can fight against it?"

"This..." Cui Mingan stammered, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

After a while, he whispered: "King Chu, what if Yu Wenhuaji is willing to surrender?"

"Can you persuade him to surrender?" Li Zhiyun asked back.

"You can try it." Cui Minqian said: "If Yu Huaji is willing to surrender, not only can we avoid a big battle, but we can also win all the troops and strengthen Xiangzhou's troops."

The idea is very good, but whether it can be implemented is a big problem.Will Yu Wenhua surrender to Datang?
To be honest, Li Zhiyun was not sure.

"Since Cui Shilang is so confident, you can discuss it with the emperor."

Cui Mingan smiled wryly and said, "I have already discussed with the King of Huai'an earlier, but he did not agree. So, I wonder if the King of Chu can do it."

Li Zhiyun was speechless immediately, "Cui Shilang, I was ordered to cooperate with the emperor's uncle to garrison Hebei, so I can only give advice. I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about it."

Seeing this, Cui Mingan didn't say much, and left.

Xue Yuanjing said: "This Cui Mingan is a little too cautious."

"After all, you are marching outside, so be careful and there is no big mistake." Chu Suiliang said: "He also wants to maintain stability."

Li Zhiyun knocked down the nail, stood up and straightened his back.

"Everything is ready, we will leave tomorrow."

"Yes."

After everyone dispersed, Du Ruhui walked over.Afterwards, the two entered the big tent.

"Your Highness encouraged King Huai'an to send troops, he must have other ideas." Du Ruhui said.

Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "Keming, guess what this king wants to do?"

Du Ruhui paced twice, and said: "Yu Wenhua and the rebellious officials and thieves are not worth saving. The elite Xiaoguo under his command also lost [-]% to [-]% in the battle with Li Mi. Your Highness's goal must not be Yu Wenhua and Xiaoguo." Army. This subordinate dares to guess that His Highness wants to save the Sui Dynasty clan and former Sui ministers."

clap clap clap!
Li Zhiyun clapped his hands, "Ke Ming knows this king!"

He stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Once the former Sui clan is outside, there will be many changes. Now Dou Jiande, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou and others all have connections with Turks. The Sui Dynasty was established, and the former ministers of the Sui Dynasty naturally couldn't let them drift away. Now that Yu Wenhua and the situation are weak, it is time for us to beat the dogs in the water. How can we let such a good opportunity be easily let go."

Du Ruhui nodded, and then reminded: "If this is done, how should King Huai'an explain it?"

"Confession?" Li Zhiyun smiled, "If this king saves those people, it's an opportunity given by the emperor, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Du Ruhui smiled comprehensibly.
