Will Ming

Chapter 640

There was a faint tea fragrance in the room, which gradually spread in the study with the heat from the teacup.The study room in Prince Qi's Mansion is big enough and there are enough books. For a person who in his previous life could stay still all day long as long as he had cigarettes and books, this is definitely a good thing.Li Xian likes reading and writing. When he was on the run when he was a child, he would write scribbles on the ground with a wooden stick when he was very bored. He didn’t know that he was caught somewhere by walking in someone else’s way and making others have nowhere to go. It was written with wild cursive brushwork on the beach, and then it disappeared with a touch of the sole of the foot.

Later, his status became more and more distinguished, and the inkstone in the study was replaced by a skip-shaped Duan inkstone with two steps. The paper was also the best, and there were nine kinds of pens, but the mentality of writing remained the same.As for reading, all words are attractive to him. Li Xian once joked about it on the way to escape, and if he really can't get along, he will write Jin Ping Mei silently to earn some money to live on.

When he had nothing to do, Li Xian would sit in the study and look at the books in the palace.Most of these books are still very new. Obviously, the former owner doesn't seem to have much interest in the books. These things are just found for display, which is cheaper for Li Xian.

Putting down the book in his hand, Li Xian glanced at Nie Duo and Wu Yunzhao.

"Liu Zhenghui came to the mansion today to sit down and talk about Li Shimin."

Li Xian took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Liu Zhenghui said that Li Xiaogong led the army to chase into Xicheng County, but Li Shimin's troops have already received reinforcements from Han Shie, and they have gathered a lot of troops in Xicheng County. Li Yuan planned to send troops to support Li Xiaogong if he didn't send people to report to Chang'an all night long. Speaking of which, Li Shimin was courageous enough. The soldiers who had just won Han Shie dared to fight for the territory with Xiao Xian...in Xiao Xian's hands But there are 40 troops."

Li Xian smiled and said: "I don't know where he got his confidence. After all, his subordinates are only the more than 2 people in Han Shie's hands, plus the [-] to [-] county soldiers and civilian braves recruited, such a force It seems that Xiao Mi is completely ignored."

Wu Yunzhao and Nie Duo didn't know what Li Xian meant, so they just listened quietly.

Xiao Xian occupies the land of Jingxiang, borders Sichuan and Shu in the west, and is several times stronger than Du Fuwei.This person is a descendant of the royal family of the Liang Dynasty, and his aunt is Yang Guang's wife, Empress Xiao.He rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in the 13th year of Daye, and achieved a career with almost no setbacks.After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he also established Liang Guo in Jiangling. According to the old system of Xiao's Liang Dynasty, he set up hundreds of officials and set up prefectures and counties.

Li Xian paused and said: "Liu Zhenghui came here to tell me these things, just to find out what I mean for Li Yuan. Now Li Yuan's troops are also stretched. It's quite a lot, no less than [-] to [-], but with our people in the north of Chang'an, how dare Li Yuan mobilize Chang'an soldiers and horses to help Li Xiaogong at will? It's not that he is thinking about letting me go south, it's really beautiful."

"If I go south with the Ruijin Battalion and the navy troops, the strength of our Yanyun Army will be completely dispersed. The troops of the military division, the Yuwen scholars, and my personal guard battalion and the Ruijin Battalion One side. After I go south, Li Yuan will naturally mobilize troops to block my way back, and then find a way to deal with the generals and Yuwen scholars..."

When he said these words, there was always a slight sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

"Li Yuan played with me enough. He planned to let me lead the troops to fight Dou Jiande to the death, but Li Shimin's incident disrupted his deployment, so he took the opportunity to break up the Yanyun army."

Wu Yunzhao thought for a while and said: "Li Yuan didn't know that the military division had returned from victory, let alone that the military division had led the army to the east of the river. If he knew, it would be time to tear his face apart. So it's not that he has this idea. What a bad thing, at least it means that he still doesn't know the movement of the military division."

Li Xian nodded and said: "It will take some time for the military division to take down Hedong County. As long as Hedong County is taken, it will not be so easy for the troops left by Li Yuan in Taiyuan to go south to Chang'an. We only need to send a good guard. A good general led an army of tens of thousands to guard the river east, and Chang'an was almost an isolated city... As for Dou Jiande, the news from the secret agent said that he did try a few times to cross the river south, but was stopped by Su Shengcai's troops."

"Laiyuan is right. Su Sheng is a good general. The Sui Navy was originally divided into three divisions, one in Laiyuan, one in Su Shengcai, and the other surrendered to Du Fuwei. Now all three are in my hands. Li Yuan didn't know. The military commander took Du Fuwei's navy with him, so the speed of progress was not slow, and it was not difficult for Su Shengcai and Yuwen Shi to block Dou Jiande."

After analyzing the current situation, he said: "My chance of winning now is that there are too many things Li Yuan doesn't know."

"But my lord..."

Nie Duo frowned slightly and asked, "Since Liu Zhenghui came to test, it won't be long before Li Yuan will talk to you himself. This subordinate feels that it is a good time to use this opportunity to go out of the city."

"It does not matter."

Li Xian waved his hand and said: "The important thing is that Liu Zhenghui brought me some new tea today, and mentioned something that even he doesn't care about, but I have to care..."

Li Xian paused and said: "The new tea has arrived in Chang'an, and Liu Zhenghui casually said that it was delivered by land... It stands to reason that the new tea by water should arrive first, but the one by land arrived first... I want to come to the army to kill on the river." He was a little too harsh, but missed some lies. If someone thinks about it carefully, he will guess that there must be something wrong with the waterway. Li Yuan is a very cautious person. He is still bothered by these trivial matters, but I You can't ignore it, so you have to hurry up."

Li Xian ordered: "Chang'an City must be more chaotic, the more chaotic the better, the sooner the better, we can't let Li Yuan have time to think about other things, let him worry about the things in Chang'an City all day long, It will take a few more days for the military division to wait... so you should kill as soon as possible."

"But it's only been a few days to kill Song Yu, isn't it too tight?"

"In the beginning we could walk slowly, but now we have to run."

Li Xian said lightly: "We have to let our opponents follow suit."

……

……

In fact, it's not that Li Xian doesn't understand why Li Shimin dares to move his mind on Xiao Xian with [-] to [-] people who are not elite.Now that he is in that position, he has no choice but to seize Xiao Mian's territory and the people to expand his army.Because Li Yuan had no choice, the court did not issue a notice about Li Shimin's conspiracy.Officials in counties and counties in the south did not know that Li Shimin rebelled, but Li Xiaogong followed him.

In Datang's territory, he no longer has the ability to expand his strength.Li Xiaogong bites tightly, although now he has more soldiers and Li Xiaogong has fewer soldiers, but he can't turn around and get rid of Li Xiaogong, then the officials in the southern counties will be suspicious, and Li Xiaogong will never allow him to feel at ease Recruit soldiers.Datang can't replenish its strength, and the land of Sichuan and Shu is too difficult to travel. I'm afraid Li Xiaogong will catch up with him if he can't take down a few cities. There is no doubt that Li Xiaogong, who has replenished his strength, cannot be underestimated.

But if he used troops against Xiao Mian, Li Xiaogong would never dare to hold him back.In case something happened to him, Li Xiaogong would never be able to explain it in front of Li Yuan.On the contrary, if he fought fiercely with Xiao Xian, Li Xiaogong had no choice but to send troops to reinforce him.Li Shimin did this to reverse the decline and change from passive to active.

As long as he defeats Xiao Mian, he will be able to obtain the prosperous Jingxiang.At that time, he will have the capital to fight against Li Yuan, and give Li Yuan a step to welcome him back.Pacifying Xiao Mian, no matter what, can be regarded as a great contribution.Li Yuan just used this as an excuse to let Li Shimin return to Chang'an.

The most helpless one was Li Xiaogong, who originally led his troops to chase Li Shimin.Now that Li Shimin is aiming his troops at Xiao Xian, an outsider, he has to think about Li Shimin everywhere.If Li Shimin's lack of troops is really dangerous, he must lead his troops to rush to the rescue.

And Li Yuan planned to let Li Xian bring troops to support Li Xiaogong, firstly, it could disperse the strength of Yan Yun's army, and secondly, take advantage of the opportunity of fighting with Xiao Xian to consume Li Xian's troops.Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin are not idiots, as long as Li Xian leads troops there, they will find a way to make Li Xian face Xiao Xian to fight.

It seems that Li Yuan's calculation and Li Shimin's calculation are very good.

As long as Li Xian and Li Yuan don't tear each other apart for a day, and Li Xian's current role cannot but obey Li Yuan's orders, then Li Yuan must be the winner.

This is a big situation, but Li Xian thought of a small situation without going out of Chang'an City to break the big situation.

And Li Xian didn't have any worries about Li Shimin attacking Xiao Xian, on the contrary, he knew that Li Shimin had only one way to go.So he was happy to see Li Shimin go head-to-head with Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian would fight sooner or later, since Li Shimin went to fight first, why wouldn't Li Xian be happy to see it succeed?

If Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong's men could fight against Xiao Xian, both sides would be hurt, and the Yanyun army would be able to spend less effort in attacking Jingxiang in the future.

After Du Fuwei was destroyed, the Jianghuai land fell into Li Xian's hands.In the future, as long as Xiao Xian is destroyed again and Jingxiang is occupied, he can take advantage of the situation and advance westward to Sichuan and Shu.These are things that must be done, just as Dou Jiande in Hebei must be wiped out.Destroy Du Fuwei, and then destroy Xiao Xian, Jianghuai, and Ruoping, the land of Sichuan and Shu, and the entire Jiangnan will be under control.By destroying Dou Jiande and occupying the land of Hebei, it will be able to connect with Zhuojun County, and the whole of Beibei will be pacified by eight points.

The rest is the land of Guanlong, and as long as Chang'an is taken, this is not a problem.

Li Xian is playing a very big game of chess. Although it seems that he is playing a small game in Chang'an City, his eyes are outside Chang'an and the world.

After Liu Zhenghui went to Prince Qi's mansion, he came directly to Li Yuan for a reply, but this trip was useless.He with
