Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2306 Infiltration

Li Chengqian has been very kind to Li Tai and the others.

After all, if it was Li Tai, Li Chengqian and the other princes might not survive, right?

He is a ruthless person, in order to prevent others from competing with him for the throne, he doesn't mind killing all other competitors.

Li Chengqian can keep them alive, which is already very good.

After Li Chengqian said this, Li Tai and the others had no choice but to retreat immediately.

In the past, they were all powerful in Chang'an City, but now, they are just Li Chengqian's prisoners.

Winners and losers, when they lose, they have nothing.

After they left, Li Chengqian looked at Qin Tian again, and said, "The king of Xiliang has worked hard in this battle. Now that the New Year is about to come, the king of Xiliang will celebrate the new year in Chang'an City. When the rebels are put down, how about the king of Xiliang staying in Beijing?" , I sent people to take all the family members of the King of Xiliang back to Chang'an City."

Not long after Li Chengqian ascended the throne, Qin Tian was indispensable for many things in the Tang Dynasty, and with Qin Tian around, no one would dare to mess with him here in Chang'an City. When doing many things, it will naturally be more convenient.

If Li Chengqian wants to build his own Tang Dynasty, he must have his own team, and among his team, Qin Tian is obviously the most important person. With Qin Tian around, many things are easy to handle.

This already has the meaning of relying heavily on Qin Tian.

Facing Li Chengqian's request, Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, but then nodded his head: "I take orders."

The founding of the Tang Dynasty is only 30 years old. Although under the leadership of Li Shimin and the help of Qin Tian, ​​it has become very prosperous, but it has not yet reached its peak. Some things need time to accumulate. Certainly not.

Therefore, Li Chengqian still needs to rely on Qin Tian if he wants to take Datang to a higher level.

Now that Qin Tian agreed, Li Chengqian was relieved and relieved.

The ministers muttered some things again, and after they had said more or less, they announced their withdrawal from the court, but Qin Tian was still retained.

In the imperial study room, the monarch and his ministers are sitting.

"Sir, in the hall just now, it is inconvenient to ask some things. Now the King of Shu, Li Ke, has not been pacified. I wonder how you want to pacify him?"

Above the court, there are still some people from Li Ke, the king of Shu. If they discuss how to destroy Li Ke in the court, those who leave will probably send the news to them soon.

And when Li Ke knows this, I'm afraid he will have to find a way to deal with it.

Although they may not be worried about this, Li Chengqian thinks they should be more cautious.

Qin Tian heard this and said: "My lord, the road to Shu is difficult. The road to Shu is not very easy, and the place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not impossible to attack by force with our troops, even if the king of Shu If we fight head-on with us, the casualties are bound to be huge, so I feel that the best way to put down the rebellion in Shu with the least cost is to send people to infiltrate the middle of Shu, so that our spies will be undercover everywhere in the middle of Shu. Let them think of ways to instigate the officials in those places, as long as those officials and generals are willing to cooperate with us internally and externally, it will be much easier to open Shu."

Naturally, such a method cannot be mentioned in the courtroom. Even if Li Chengqian asked in the courtroom, Qin Tian would not say it. Fortunately, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not say anything.

After Li Chengqian finished listening, he nodded quickly: "Sir, you are right. I think this method is good, so let's do it according to this method!"

Qin Tian took the order.

After the monarch and his subjects talked a little more, Qin Tian withdrew.

The heavy snow in Chang'an City is still falling, and it seems that it is not going to stop.

Qin Tian returned to the palace in Chang'an City. This is still his previous residence, but it has been changed to the palace now.

It's just that although it is a palace, it looks deserted inside, covered with heavy snow, the palace is completely white.

It used to be lively here, but not now.

Qin Tian hadn't seen the Nine Princesses for a long time, and he felt a little relieved when he thought that Li Chengqian would pick them up from Liangzhou City soon. After he quelled the rebellion in Shu, they would be able to meet, right?
After leaving Chang'an City and returning to Chang'an City, Qin Tian's state of mind has changed a lot.
-
The time in Chang'an City passes quickly, and the New Year is coming soon.

When the New Year just passed and the Shangyuan Festival had not yet come, Qin Tian and the others had already made preparations, and immediately left Chang'an City and rushed to the middle of Sichuan.

At this time, Chang'an City was very cold, but the closer they got to the middle of Shu, the warmer the weather became.

After they entered the land of Shu, what they saw here was already full of spring.

The 20 troops marched into Sichuan in a mighty way, pulling a very long team. They walked along the rugged mountain road, and looked like a long dragon from a high place.

The roads in Sichuan are too difficult to walk, but many soldiers in the south are used to walking on mountain roads, and they don't think there is anything wrong with them. In comparison, Qin Tian's soldiers and horses are a little uncomfortable.

This mountain road looks very short, but when it is really walking, it is exhausting and unbearable.

After entering the land of Shu, their speed could not help but slow down.

But Qin Tian and the others know that not all roads in Shu are difficult to walk, like Bazhong, where there are a lot of mountains and rivers, but Jincheng is much better, and it can be regarded as a plain. It's no different than anywhere else.

Therefore, as long as they have crossed such a difficult section of the mountain road, the next road will be much easier to walk.

And when Qin Tian and the others entered the land of Shu, in the land of Bazhong, Luo Feng, the confidant of Li Ke, king of Shu, was already waiting here with [-] soldiers.

Compared with the fiefs of Wei Wang Li Tai and Jin Wang Li Zhi, Shu Wang Li Ke's fief is incomparable to those of other vassal kings, that is, his fief's terrain is complex, dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In this case, he does not need to gather all his troops in one place like other vassals to fight the Tang army to the death. He can completely disperse his soldiers and horses in different places and use them to slow down the pace of the Tang army. .

Moreover, many places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they may hold the Tang army for a long time with only a small amount of troops. This is still very useful for Shu Wang Li Ke.

Because for the king of Shu, if he has time, he can prepare more troops and build his fief more safely. He needs time, and if he runs out of time, he will wait to be wiped out by Qin Tian Bar.

Therefore, even if he would keep losing his troops, he still had to use this method to hold back Qin Tian's troops.

In his opinion, just one Bazhong City is enough to delay Qin Tian for half a year, right?
