The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 527 Debate
A camp in Xinye, which is slightly smaller than the camp of the Chinese army, is the place where Prince Li Jiancheng handles government affairs and meets civil and military officials. Since Li Yuan's imperial conquest, the military power in Nanyang has been in his hands. Li Jiancheng did all the government affairs of Li Tang.So here became Li Jiancheng's temporary office.

Li Jiancheng had already returned from the camp of the Chinese army, and stood in front of a camp wall with his hands behind his back, staring at the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains on the wall.

This is a map of mountains and rivers that covers the entire world. Several different colors represent various forces. But on this map at this time, the red color is getting more and more, and the color is getting wider; while the white color is getting less and less. Dou Jiande The black and Li Mi's blue are also shrinking, and Du Fuwei's purple and Xiao Xian's light green are also changing. The crimson red that occupies the entire north is like a pool of blood, diverging at the intersection of white, black, and blue. The ferocious color, vows to dye other colors into crimson.

Bai, of course, is the color of the Tang Dynasty, but now it is very small,
Li Jiancheng stared at the white area on the map with a heavy heart. Now only Bashu is complete. Nanyang and Xiyang in Jingzhou area are surrounded by crimson red. Also dyed red.As a result, the Zhuyangguan area of ​​Xiyang, which protrudes to the north, looks particularly lonely.

Whether or not the gate of Xiangyang can be kept, the key lies in Guanyang Pass. Li Jiancheng is full of worries about whether Li Shimin can hold Guanyang Pass. The Tang army was worthless, so they could only retreat to Xiangyang in despair. Otherwise, not only would they be in danger, but Xicheng County and Fangling County would not be able to resist the Sui army pouring in from Xiyang.

At this time, a guard's report came from the door, "Your Highness, Liu Xiangguo is waiting outside the camp and said he has something important to report."

"Please come in!" Li Jiancheng put down his red pen and quickly walked towards the gate of the camp. In less than a moment, he rushed to Liu Wenjing and bowed: "See Your Highness."

"Excuse me, Xiangguo, let's sit down and talk." Li Jiancheng signaled Liu Wenjing to take his seat.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Wenjing didn't say much, and after Li Jiancheng took his seat, he sat down.

Li Jiancheng asked: "Xiangguo is in a hurry, is something wrong?"

"Your Highness, I feel that none of Pei Ji's so-called five defeats in the Sui Dynasty is valid, and they are completely out of context bullshit!"

"..." Li Jiancheng smiled wryly, "I know this too, but our army fears Sui like a tiger, and needs bullshit like Pei Ji to encourage it!"

Liu Wenjing said: "This is also the reason why I didn't expose it on the spot."

Li Jiancheng looked at the aggrieved, ignorant and fearless Liu Wenjing, and felt his eyelids twitch, giving him a sense of the rest of his life. If Liu Wenjing dismantled it on the spot, his father would probably not kill the case, but use it as an excuse to 'disturb the morale of the army' Because, cut off Liu Wenjing's head.

Liu Wenjing, who didn't realize that she almost died, continued: "I think we think Yang Tong is too simple."

“How come you see?”

"The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty have always beaten the enemy to the ground with a brilliant momentum, but this time it was intermittent and repeatedly brewed, which is very unusual. Not long ago, Xiao Xian and Du Fuwei were dispatching troops at the same time. , taking the posture of Li Mi who is jointly attacking."

"Xiangguo is saying that the Sui army is restraining our army and that we are not allowed to strike from behind, so as to ensure that Xiao Mian can freely attack Li Mi?"

"Exactly!" Liu Wenjing said firmly.

Once reminded, Li Jiancheng suddenly realized that not long ago, he got a piece of information that Lin Shihong, who was loyal to Li Mi, cooperated with the Wei army to launch an offensive against Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei almost cut him off. Xiao Xian, who had freed up his hand after the battle, attacked Lin Shihong fiercely and defeated him repeatedly.

At that time, Li Tang's rulers and ministers all thought that Lin Shihong and Xiao Xian only wanted to be fishers of profit, thinking that the two men were seeking their own interests, and they didn't take this matter to heart.But after what Liu Wenjing said, Li Jiancheng realized that things were not that simple.

"What does Xiangguo think?"

"Du Fuwei is similar to Zhai Rang. Their uprisings were all forced by the situation. They have no ambition to become emperor in their bones. They are people who are safe when they are small. Since Du Fuwei refused my canonization by the Tang Dynasty, the minister suspected that he had Surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, but Xiao Xian had no heirs, and his only daughter had already been promised to Yang Tong. Even if he conquered a large area, it could only be inherited by Yang's descendants. Why should he continue to oppose the Sui Dynasty? More importantly, he has already Lost the strength to compete for the world, so it is possible to surrender to the Sui Dynasty."

"I understand that although Xiao Mian and Du Fuwei are self-reliant, they are actually controlled by Yang Tong's remote control. Xiao Mian sent troops to attack Lin Shihong, and naturally he also accepted Yang Tong's orders. In this way, Yang Tong did not intend to attack me, Tang Dynasty. , but to attack Li Mi first." At this point, Li Jiancheng has understood Liu Wenjing's meaning, and he has roughly understood Yang Tong's layout, but he still has doubts in his heart, so he asked: "Li Mi has a lot of troops. Fu Wei is not his opponent at all, and Xiao Xian's soldiers can't even swallow Lin Shihong, let alone Li Mijun's opponent, so he can only rely on the Sui army itself, but the Sui army that restrained him is only Li Jing's six soldiers in Yingchuan. With tens of thousands of troops, there is more than enough for self-preservation, but not enough for aggressiveness.”

In his early years, Li Jiancheng traveled all over the world to study, made friends with heroes all over the world, and once visited Yingchuan.He knew that Yingchuan was in the Great Plains, but there would be one or two hills protruding from the plain, and the southernmost part could be a little bit, but it was just a land of undulating hills, and the mountains were extremely low, all of which were plains and hills. , the river network is densely covered, and a large area of ​​farmland is distributed. It is not an exaggeration to describe Yingchuan as safe and secure.

However, its strategic position is extremely important. Liang County in the northeast of Yingchuan, Huaiyang in the east, and Runan in the southeast are all controlled by Li Mi, and Huai'an in the south is controlled by Li Tang; Fuyang County in the southwest and Xiangcheng County in the west belonged to the Sui Dynasty, and Luoyang was to the north of Xiangcheng County.Therefore, Yingchuan County is the center of Henan Province and Xuchang, the capital of Cao Wei Dynasty. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Now that the Sui army is scattered all over the world, there are not many troops in Luoyang, Xiangcheng, and Xingyang. In Li Jiancheng's view, Li Jing's [-] army is not only to contain Li Mi, but also to guard the gate of Luoyang. Limited by strategy and terrain, Li Jing can move. There are very few troops in the army, and even one of them can't move. How can they cooperate with Du Fuwei and Xiao Xian to fight Li Mi?
Liu Wenjing sighed inwardly. This is another problem of Li Tang's monarch and ministers. Apart from staring at Li Tang's one-acre three-point land, everyone only pays attention to the powerful enemy of the Sui Dynasty. In Xiao Xian in the south, no one has ever put the whole world into consideration. Once there is a big change in the world, he will suddenly realize it.But Yang Tong and Li Mi are different, they always think about everything, otherwise, Li Yuan would not be entrapped severely by Li Mi with a covenant and the territory that he wanted to give up.However, Li Tang was greedy for the large number of unowned territories after Li Mi went south, so he launched the Eastern Expedition with the power of the whole country, and because he underestimated Wang Shichong's will to resist, he divided his troops into two groups. In the end, not only became Yang Tong's sharp blade to annihilate Wang Shichong, but was also defeated by Yang Tong. Dong broke through one by one.

He made up his mind, got up and walked to the map, picked up the wooden stick beside him, pointed to the black field representing Dou Jiande's forces, and said, "Your Highness, from my point of view, Dou Jiande may have surrendered to the Sui Dynasty."

"What?" Li Jiancheng was taken aback and asked, "Xiangguo, why did you say that?"

"Judging from the information sent back from the front, Dou Jiande, after pacifying Wang Xiaohu, had less than [-] elite troops, while his enemy had an absolute advantage of more than [-] Sui troops. It is impossible to let the variable of Dou Jiande exist in time, but the Sui army has not acted for a long time; there is only one possibility, that something must have happened to Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande is benevolent and righteous, loves soldiers like sons, and there are many soldiers who are loyal to him. If Dou Jiande dies, there will be no movement in the direction of Qingzhou, so I expect that Dou Jiande has also descended to the Sui Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Liu Wenjing's bright eyes seemed to see through everything, and then analyzed: "If Dou Jiande descends to the Sui Dynasty, then Yang Tong's worries will be relieved, not only freeing up more than [-] Sui troops, but also using Dou Jiande's army to deal with Li Mi. With this army of more than [-] to [-], does Your Highness still think that Yang Tong is not strong enough to deal with Li Mi?"

"How sure are you?" Li Jiancheng asked excitedly. If the Sui army concentrated its forces against Li Mi, then Li Tang would have a valuable respite. The fierce attack made the Sui army unable to take care of both the abdomen and the back.

"Eighty percent!" Liu Wenjing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng couldn't sit still, and was about to tell his father the news, but he was a cautious person. After walking a few steps, he turned around and asked, "But how can we be sure that the Sui army who came free is not to deal with it?" What about us, but Li Mi?"

Liu Wenjing replied: "Most of Li Mi's civil and military personnel are from the Central Plains. Now he has given up running the Central Plains for many years and sent his troops to the south. Although he said that he avoided Yang Tong's edge, he also hurt many people's hearts, causing frequent internal dissatisfaction. Absolutely, but because of Li Mi's prestige, no one dared to refute, but now, Li Mi's southward strategy is not smooth, and the voice of dissatisfaction has gradually turned from dark to clear. [-]. Jingzhou has been in business for many years, and its roots are stable. However, Li Mi's newly occupied land is not supported by the people and its foundation is not stable. In comparison, Li Mi is undoubtedly easier to deal with in the Tang Dynasty; third, Yang Tong's Qingzhou army is close to Li Mi. , as long as you surpass Lu County, you can attack Pengcheng County, and to the west is Liang County. As long as you rely on these two counties, Li Jing's [-] troops will be revived. , Ruyin, and Runan can be broken overnight."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Xiangguo's words are very reasonable, I'll go tell my father right now."

Liu Wenjing smiled slightly: "Your Highness, Li Mi is my natural ally of the Tang Dynasty. Once Li Mi is eliminated, we will be next. Therefore, it is best to suggest that the emperor inform Li Mi so that Li Mi can prepare for the Sui army's massive invasion. "

"Thank you, Xiangguo!" Li Jiancheng saluted to the ground, a deep expression of gratitude flashed across his face, he knew that Liu Wenjing was giving him a chance to show himself, otherwise, he would not have found himself, but went directly to tell his father up.

"The Sui Dynasty was a colossus, and Yang Tong had the strength to fight on both sides, so he couldn't say anything." Liu Wenjing reminded.

"Okay!" Li Jiancheng nodded heavily.
