Great Tang princess

Chapter 393 Before Departure
It has to be said that trained intelligence officers are just different.

Even though Li Yuechen himself is not a professional intelligence officer, fortunately, after being influenced by many movies, TV series and documentaries, he can still train many intelligence agents far beyond this era.

Less than a month after they were sent out, the intelligence agents of the dark guards had sent back a lot of useful information, and the time had come to the end of June.

In the Hall of Renshou, Li Yuechen and Shangguan Wan'er sat together, waiting for Wu Zetian who was opposite to read all the information sent.

At present, some things have been investigated clearly. At this time, the armies of the kings are basically entrenched outside the city. After destroying the original bandits, they pretended to be bandits, so they did not arouse the suspicion of the people.

Coupled with a part of the army that the kings could have legally owned, it adds up to about 10,000 people in each person's hands.

If these people are united, the number can be more than [-] to [-].

While waiting for Wu Zetian to finish reading, Shangguan Wan'er said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the number of [-] to [-] should not be something to fear, right?"

"It depends on the situation, but the main part of the war is the intelligence war. Now their strength is almost fully understood, so it shouldn't be too difficult." Li Yuechen replied in a low voice.

After Wu Zetian read the information, he raised his head and asked, "If it's Chen'er, what should I do?"

"At this time, it is natural to try to hide as much as possible, and the strength is not enough. I think they should continue to recruit troops. This number is still a bit small." Li Yuechen replied.

Shangguan Wan'er was a little puzzled: "It may not be that much money, right?"

In this day and age, even if soldiers don't need to be paid wages, the food and drink of so many people is still a huge expense.

He thinks that the kings may not have the money to support more people.

Wu Zetian thought for a while: "Forget it, don't wait. Di Huaiying will arrive in Yuzhou in a short time, and Chen'er should make preparations to suppress the rebellion earlier!"

"Yes!" Li Yuechen agreed, "I'll go back and get ready, baby!"

After all, the military situation was urgent, so she didn't stay any longer, she got up and left Renshou Hall.

Shangguan Wan'er stared at her back, wanting to say something, but she didn't dare to be too outrageous in front of the God Emperor.

After all, her identity is just a court lady, flirting with His Royal Highness is not a good thing.

It's just that Li Yuechen who had already walked out of the door suddenly turned around, smiled at her, blinked his right eye, and then disappeared at the door.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Wan'er was slightly taken aback, then she couldn't help but lowered her head and laughed without making any sound.

He stared at the ground, but couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

Wu Zetian on the opposite side saw this scene with drooping eyelids, and didn't say anything. He just looked at the back of his daughter leaving, and then took a sip from his teacup.

……

After leaving Renshou Hall, Li Yuechen rushed to the barracks without stopping, and called Geng Yunqiang and Li Xian over.

Then he opened a map and spread it on his desk, and studied it carefully.

After a while, Geng Yunqiang and Li Xian came to the office after receiving the order.

Li Yuechen beckoned: "I will set off first tomorrow to see the specific situation!"

"Now the king of Yue is in Yuzhou, the king of Han is in Jiangzhou, the king of Lu is in Xingzhou, and the king of Huo is in Qingzhou..." Li Yuechen said while holding a stick of charcoal to connect the points just mentioned on the map.

"When I'm waiting to leave..."

"Wait!" Li Xian stopped his sister suddenly, and asked with a questioning face, "Is it wrong to leave before I receive the news?"

Geng Yunqiang on the side also nodded. In fact, he also wanted to ask, but as a soldier, it is more important to execute orders, so he didn't ask more.

But the Second Highness is the princess's brother, so it's good to ask more questions, and I can listen to it while I can.

However, when Li Yuechen heard this question, his expression froze, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Could it be possible to tell your mother that Di Renjie has been sent to force him to rebel?The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

At the same time, it can also be expected that once Di Renjie passes by, it is impossible to hide the fact that Li Zhen is hiding soldiers outside the city. , Go straight to Dongdu!
Of course, if you can try to instigate Di Renjie, it's okay, but it's too dangerous. The more people who know about this kind of thing, the more dangerous it is, and the chance of being betrayed is too high.

Li Yuechen didn't go into details, but just waved his hand: "According to the current information, he will raise troops soon, so we have to rush over there as soon as possible, and try not to give him a chance to hit Dongdu!"

After the two agreed, Li Yuechen continued to point on the map: "These states are farther away than each other. In order to ensure the stability of Datang as much as possible, we can't push all the way. We need to divide our troops into multiple routes and break them one by one! No way! Any chance for them to influence Datang!"

Geng Yunqiang was a little puzzled: "But Your Highness, we don't have many people, if so..."

Having been the boss for so long, Li Yuechen knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and immediately waved his hand: "You can use the grenade artillery as you like! But let me tell you in advance, if these weapons are lost or something, don't blame me. The palace doesn't care about affection!"

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang saluted and agreed, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I guarantee it will be intact!"

He didn't dare to think about these weapons in the slightest. He was also very clear that although the newcomers in the dark guards were trained from here, there were also a group of intelligence agents hidden among the people, whom he didn't know or have seen. .

If something bad happens in the army and the princess finds out, the consequences will definitely be serious.

But then again, the grenades and cannons can be used at will when going out this time, so even if facing ten times the number of enemies, Geng Yunqiang still dares to fight!
Li Yuechen turned his head: "Speaking of which, is there any gendarmerie? Is there any good seedling who can be the captain?"

"Yes!" Li Xian nodded, "According to my observations during this period, Nadou Lu Yuanzhong is not bad. He can understand the meaning of military law, has leadership skills, and others are quite convinced of him. The most important thing is..."

Speaking of this, Li Xian was silent for two seconds, then raised his head: "He admires you very much..."

When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but look to the side.

Seeing his elder brother like this, Li Yuechen couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, what he said was admiration, maybe it might actually be something like admiration, right?
But it doesn't matter, whatever.Li Yuechen can only guarantee that he will not marry, but there is no way to stop someone from admiring him.

After all, people like beautiful things. Who would not like a beautiful, heroic, tall, affectionate and talented princess?
"Okay, since my brother has seen it, let's settle it!" Li Yuechen nodded, "It just so happens that this time I can take them to the battlefield to see."

No matter how you say it, the second brother was a prince, so his vision is very trustworthy.

It's just that Li Xian himself doesn't seem to have much confidence: "Why don't you, Yuechen, go and see for yourself?"

"That's not necessary, a lot of abilities will gradually show up with time." Li Yuechen waved his hand slightly as he said that, "By the way, don't notify them in advance about this expedition, take them away tomorrow!"

"Okay, I understand!" Li Xian nodded in agreement.

Li Yuechen went through the plan again in his mind, and confirmed that there was nothing missing: "Okay, then hurry back and prepare, we will officially start tomorrow!"

The two saluted with a "snap": "Yes!"

……

After finalizing the matter here, Li Yuechen went back to the palace again.

"Ma'am, I've made up my mind, and I'll be the first to leave tomorrow!" Li Yuechen sat opposite to his mother, and drank the water in his teacup in one gulp.

Wu Zetian nodded: "Chen'er can make up his own mind. In terms of war, as a mother, I have to listen to you."

"I don't want to wait for them to raise troops, otherwise the people will be the ones who will suffer." Li Yuechen said, "Even if you pay a little price, at least I hope that Tang Dynasty will be safe!"

"Well, Chen'er can definitely do it!" Wu Zetian smiled.

Because of his mother's trust, Li Yuechen settled the matter without any effort, and decided to set off for Yuzhou tomorrow.

Considering that besides Li Shen, there might be other young people in the court, Li Yuechen decided to set off quietly tomorrow night. When they reacted, he probably had already arrived at the city of Yuzhou.

As long as King Yue is captured first, his son King Langya is basically no threat. The remaining states are far away from Dongdu, so we can talk about it later, at least we don't have to worry about them coming over.

What's more, in order to make a quick decision this time, Li Yuechen allowed them to use grenades and artillery. With the blessing of special tactics, they could not even leave the house!

"Speaking of which, do you still have the soldier talisman of the imperial army?" Wu Zetian asked, "Your Qianniuwei has few people after all, why not..."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I have my own solution." Li Yuechen smiled confidently, "In future wars, numbers will no longer be an absolute advantage!"

Seeing her confident face, Wu Zetian nodded without saying anything.

After having dinner with his mother at night, Li Yuechen got up to leave and returned to the Princess Mansion.

……

"Huh? Chen'er is going to fight again?" Princess Xuancheng asked with a lollipop in her mouth.

Since this thing was invented, it can be regarded as a special dessert for the royal family. Princess Xuancheng usually likes it very much.

"Well, I left in a hurry this time, and I'm going to leave tomorrow night." Li Yuechen tilted his mouth and blew the hair covering his face.

"That will..."

"No!" Li Yuechen stopped what she hadn't said yet, "This is a secret expedition. It's best to pretend that I'm still in the Eastern Capital. It's a day if I can hide it."

Princess Xuancheng frowned: "How is this possible? There will be no one in the barracks..."

"Don't worry, I don't take all of them away. I will leave the soldiers of the two battalions to protect the children in the school district, and at the same time make the illusion that Qianniuwei has not left." Li Yuechen smiled mysteriously.

Pei Qingwan, who usually doesn't talk much, suddenly said, "But... the number of Qianniuwei isn't that many, is it? Is it enough if we don't take them all away?"

Li Yuechen propped his chin: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Qian Niuwei doesn't rely on grenades and artillery!"

Princess Yiyang immediately became interested: "Is Chen'er planning to follow the tactics used to capture Lun Qinling alive?"

"It may not be possible. Wars are always changing rapidly, and different tactics must be used according to different situations." Li Yuechen replied.

They don't know much about war, only Princess Xuancheng can understand what she means.

However, Shangguan Wan'er, who was sitting next to her, looked confident: "Your Highness is the reincarnation of the God of War, and he will definitely be able to complete the suppression of the rebellion as quickly as possible!"

"Huh? The reincarnation of the God of War? Why didn't I know?" Li Yuechen looked confused.

Now it was Shangguan Wan'er's turn to be confused: "Your Highness, don't you know? When I played chess with His Majesty last time, His Majesty told me that Li Daochang once told the late Emperor that His Highness is the White Tiger Star!"

Princess Yiyang and the others all turned their heads and looked over.

Li Yuechen still felt a little confused, and shook his head lightly: "I don't know, Grandpa never told me..."

And from Wan'er's point of view, it seems that my master said this matter?

But why do you say that?If one counts one's own natural supernatural power, does one count one's own time traveler?

The more I think about this kind of thing, the more my head gets bigger and bigger, so I simply don't want to.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether he is a green dragon or a white tiger. In short, these few days, Wan'er and the two elder sisters still have to keep the news that I have left as secret as possible," Li Yuechen said.

Sister-in-law Pei Qingwan didn't go out almost every day, let alone leak it.

"It's not difficult. Prince Ji has contacted me a few times recently. I think I can pretend to agree." Princess Yiyang smiled, "It should be delayed for a few days."

Li Yuechen nodded: "That's great! As long as you can take down the nearest Yuzhou first, this matter will be considered!"

Princess Xuancheng picked up the teacup: "Then I wish Chen'er a speedy battle and victory!"

"Your Highness will only leave tomorrow night, so it doesn't matter if you drink some wine?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

"Okay, then drink less." Li Yuechen beckoned to Fulai, "Bring some wine."

"Here!" Fulai agreed.

For things like wine, it is said to drink a little, but it may not be sure if you really drink it.

Fortunately, Li Yuechen's self-discipline is good, he didn't let himself drink too much, his mind is still clear, and he walks steadily.

After sister and sister-in-law went to bed, Li Yuechen and Shangguan Wan'er were blowing air in the yard.

After drinking, Shangguan Wan'er's face became flushed, and her eyes were more blurred than usual.

She looked at the stars covering the sky, and with a smile on her face, she took the initiative to hold Li Yuechen's hand for the first time: "I will miss Your Highness!"

Li Yuechen was a little surprised, and felt that she seemed a little more courageous after drinking.

But she just smiled, and exerted a little force on her hand: "Well, don't worry. I will miss Wan'er too!"

"Hmm..." Shangguan Wan'er suddenly laughed, turned around and opened her arms, "Then, give me a hug!"

Li Yuechen nodded and turned around gently.

In the waves of light on the water surface, two shadows embraced each other.
