Chapter 685
Inside Chang'an Wuji Palace.

Xiao Yu heard what Li Yuan said, and said, "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, this Fu Gongyou has no good intentions, and seems to want to have a good relationship between Tang and Zhao. Your Majesty should be very careful."

Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Your intention coincides with mine. If I can't see through Fu Gongyou's idea, it will make people laugh at me, but here in Jianghuai, I still have to intervene."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan paused and said: "At present, most of the world is flat, but Zhao Guo is independent and self-reliant. Li Chongjiu's son proclaims himself emperor, and he still wants to fight against my Tang Dynasty to the end. My heart to unify Liuhe cannot be changed. Right now The only ones who can be regarded as a strong enemy are Zhao Guo and Yi Guo, if Zhao Guo is leveled, then Du Fuwei, Lin Shihong and his ilk are all insignificant."

"At present, Wang Shichong and Xiao Xian have been defeated. After I decide to fight hard, I will attack Zhao in a big way. What do you two lovers think?"

Xiao Yu and Liu Hongji looked at each other when they heard what Li Yuan said.

Liu Hongji said: "Your Majesty, there must be a decisive battle between Tang and Zhao, the difference is only sooner or later. In my opinion, it is better to fight sooner than later."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Liu Aiqing, I want to go with you again, tell me if your reason is not with me again."

Liu Hongji immediately said: "The heart of my Tang Dynasty is in Guanzhong. Half of the Zhechong Mansion of our Datang Army is in Guanzhong. There are 250 and 26 offices in the Zhechong Mansion, and there are [-] soldiers. Crowds come to all directions."

"But now Guanzhong is controlled by Luoyang, and Li Chongjiu is based in Luoyang, cutting off the Jianghuai waterway for grain transportation, which has made me very tired in Guanzhong, and the lives of the people in Chang'an are difficult. If things go on like this, it will be detrimental to our Tang Dynasty, and the national strength will decline. , better than playing late."

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "What Liu Aiqing said is very true."

Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, Li Chongjiu is not Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian and his ilk. This battle is not easy to fight. Four years ago, Li Chongjiu's climate was not successful, but he lived in a random place. He dared to attack Taiyuan and the counties of Hedong. The army repelled, but our Taiyuan also fell into his hands. Now Li Chongjiu has full wings, has broken through Goguryeo, and pacified Shandong. We don't have a good chance of winning against them."

Li Yuan said: "Where there is a battle with full confidence, go to fight again. Li Chongjiu is indeed not Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian and his ilk. His power has grown a lot in the past four years, but I am not Li Yuan four years ago. Tang Zhao There is bound to be a decisive battle, and I will strike first and catch him by surprise!"

"I would like to hear about the strategy in His Majesty's chest!"

Li Yuan walked up to the sheepskin map with a bamboo stick in his hand, the left and right attendants knew that their monarchs and ministers were going to discuss extremely confidential matters, so they all stepped back and avoided.

In the main hall, there are only three monarchs and ministers left.

Li Yuan immediately pointed his bamboo stick to the north and said, "I have decided to order Li Chen, the governor of Jiangzhou, King Xiangwu, to lead an army of [-] troops from Hedong to attack Taiyuan County from Jiangzhou. This is the first route."

Then Li Yuan's bamboo stick slid south: "I will order Huai'an King Li Shentong, Xiangyi King Gong Li Shenfu, and Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan to lead an army of [-] Hanoi troops to attack Heyang from Shangdang. This is the second road."

Li Yuan's bamboo stick continued to slide south: "I will order the prince to build again, and Qi Wang Yuanji will lead [-] Guanzhong government soldiers to go out of Tongguan to attack Luoyang in front. This is the third route."

"Let the king of Hejian, Li Xiaogong, and the king of Lujiang, Li Yuan, lead [-] Bashu troops out of Xiangyang and attack the Yanshi area. This is the fourth route."

"Finally, Li Fuwei, the king of Wu, was ordered to lead the Jianghuai army with [-] troops to cross the Huai River to attack Shandong. This is the fifth route."
"A total of 28 troops were sent out from five directions, and they attacked Zhao vigorously, making it impossible for Li Chongjiu to look after each other!"
Liu Hongji and Xiao Yu heard Li Yuan's grand plan and couldn't help admiring. This time sending troops was the largest in Li Tang's history.When Wang Shichong was crusaded, only [-] soldiers were dispatched.Apparently, Li Yuan used all his resources to fight against Zhao Guo with all his troops, and then he defeated Li Chongjiu completely in one battle.

Xiao Yu and the others are also discerning people, the five-way army is coming fiercely, but the purpose of the two lines of Hedong and Jianghuai is just to contain the Zhao army.The real killer is to attack the three-way army in Luoyang.

Among these three armies, the most elite ones were the 20 Mansion Army from the Guanzhong, and the [-] Bashu Army led by famous generals Li Xiaogong and Li Jing of the Tang Army after the victory in the attack on Xiao Xian.In order to besiege Luoyang, Li Tang dispatched a total of [-] horses, which is equivalent to ten times the strength of the Zhao army in this area.

"Your Majesty, this battle is actually betting on half of my family in the Tang Dynasty. This is a gamble that will ruin the country." Xiao Yu couldn't help sighing.

Liu Hongji said: "Your Majesty is forcing Li Chongjiu to take a gamble with us at this moment, and our army will strike first. That is to say, now that His Majesty is sitting in the manor, Li Chongjiu has to fight, and the initiative is on our army's side."

Li Yuan said: "That's right, this time the army is dispatched with all the strength of the Great Tang army. I want to see how much Li Chongjiu is today."

Li Yuan's eyes were serious.

Inside Chang'an Prince Qin's Mansion.

Li Shimin is practicing archery in the martial arts field in Fuchu.

puff!
The arrow hit the bull's-eye, and the tail of the arrow kept shaking.

"King Qin is good at archery!" Changsun Wuji shouted from the side.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Fortunately, in the past, there are no legs. It's just that I haven't ridden a horse for a few days, and the thighs on the legs have come back to life."

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Highness, that humble minister will accompany you to ride a horse in the southern suburbs tomorrow."

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "You should know that the thigh on a solitary leg cannot be healed by riding a horse." At this point, Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back.

Changsun Wuji knew what Li Shimin was thinking, so he didn't know what to say to comfort him.

At this time, Xue Shou, a counselor of Prince Qin's residence, took a letter in his hand, went to the training ground and said to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, this is a secret letter from the palace."

Li Shimin nodded and put down his bow. After reading the letter, he patted the letter paper and said with a wry smile: "Although the tortoise lives long, there is still a time; when the snake rides the fog, it ends up in ashes. No end. Ridiculous, ridiculous."

Xue Shou and Changsun Wuji had never seen Li Shimin lose his composure like this before, so they couldn't help but stepped forward together and said, "What's wrong with King Qin, why is this so? What news came from the palace?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "You say that the forest is so big and the birds have not been shot yet, but there are people who are impatient and want to hide the good bow. Do you think this is the misfortune of people or the misfortune of good bows?"

"Your Highness!"

Li Shimin walked to the front and said: "I have nothing to do, it's just that the father changed his command, appointed the prince, and the two kings of Qi are involved in military affairs. Neither the prince nor the king of Qi are generals. You have to meet ordinary generals. If you meet Famous generals will suffer."
