Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 531 Dry word plan (5)

"Since I violated the power of Heaven, I should be punished. Fortunately, the king of England is brave enough to conquer on my behalf. He will control the troops of Hexi, Longyou, and Anxi, and win the victory with restraint. To comfort my heart, I admire this!"

The imperial decree is very long, and there are a lot of long-winded words. To sum it up, it is actually just one sentence-you want to fight, I agree, and there is nothing else. It's an imperial decree, no matter how noisy it is, no one dares to make a random noise.

"My son leads the decree, thank you!"

Li Xian was really too lazy to listen to so many nonsense, but when he said it, he couldn't show any disrespect. When the word "Qin this" came out, Li Xian thanked him patiently and stood up. come.

"My servant congratulates His Highness, and I wish His Highness a victory and success in no time."

Seeing Li Xian standing up, Liu Qiming rushed forward with a smiling face, handed the rolled imperial decree to Li Xian's hands, and said a series of pleasant words.

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu, you have worked so hard all the way here, how about some wine and food inside?"

Although Liu Qiming belonged to Li Xian, this was a secret. In such a large audience, politeness is indispensable. Li Xian waved his hand with a smile and said "please".

"Don't dare, dare not, Your Highness please first."

Li Xian was polite, but Liu Qiming didn't dare to really take the lead of Li Xian, he hastily took two small steps back, bowed his body, and let Li Xian take the first step.

"Then we'll be together."

Li Xian had something on his mind, and he didn't want to waste any more time on red tape, so he waved his hand, and after giving an order, he raised his foot and turned back to the main entrance of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Taking small steps, half a step behind, followed closely behind Li Xian, also walked into the gate, and went straight into the second hall without saying a word. After serving the freshly brewed fragrant tea, they each retreated, leaving only the host and guest sitting opposite each other in the hall.

"Qiming, I've worked hard for you this time, seeing that you're safe and sound, Gu can feel at ease."

After everyone withdrew, Li Xian became much more casual, and stopped saying those innocuous polite words, and thanked him bluntly. Of course, this thank you was not for Liu Qiming's edict, but for his previous effort to reach heaven. Listen faithfully.

"Being able to work for Your Highness is really a blessing for this servant. Although I dare not resign after a hundred deaths, it is a pity that there will be no such opportunity. Before this servant came, His Majesty had another order, so that this servant does not have to go back to the palace, and just stay in His Highness's mansion. The slave has nowhere to go, I implore His Highness to take her in."

For Liu Qiming to be valued by Li Xian, he is not a fool. He understands the meaning of Li Xian's words, and his eyes turn red. He got up and walked to the table where Li Xian was sitting, and knelt down on the ground. Said with an excited face.

Oral order?Oh, the old man is really well-intentioned, that's all, the matter is over, let's wait and see!Li Xian is a shrewd person, once he heard these words, he already guessed the two meanings in it. One, it is naturally to give Li Xian face and save Liu Qiming's life. As for the second, there is no shortage of warnings Including Li Xian's meaning, this is to tell Li Xian not to wantonly rush people to the imperial court, if this matter happens again, it will not be settled so easily.

"Qiming doesn't have to be like this, and there is indeed a lack of suitable manpower around Gu. How about this? Let's use Gao Miao's deputy first, and when it is convenient in the future, Gu will make adjustments. Is this possible?"

It doesn't matter if the old man has a fit or not, this person will have to deal with it after all, if not, he won't know when he will be cheated by Empress Wu, and he will not be able to survive that day. Of course, Li Xian knows this idea himself, and he won't Speaking of it in front of Liu Qiming, Li Xian raised his hand vainly, and made a promise with a smile.

"Thank you, servant, for His Highness's love, and I will do my best to repay His Highness's great kindness!"

The position of Deputy Chief of Yingwang's Mansion is very important. Compared with Liu Qiming's original position, it is more than a step higher. He has no reason to be dissatisfied, so he hastily kowtowed.

"Well, this matter is settled, Gao Miao!"

After the matter was over, Li Xian didn't want to make any more noise, so he raised his voice and shouted.

"The servant is here!"

Hearing Li Xian's call, Gao Miao, who had already been waiting outside the hall, did not dare to be negligent, hurried up to the hall, and replied respectfully.

"From now on, Qiming will be your deputy, and the two of you will discuss and finish the chores in the house, let's go."

Li Xian gave a few simple instructions, then sent Gao and Liu away, and then sat in the hall without getting up, looking towards the northwest with a little solemnity, and fell into a silent silence. In the midst of contemplation...Luoyingling, a not-too-high mountain on the west side of Qilian Mountains, although it is about [-] meters above sea level, but because it is located on a plateau, its height is less than [-] feet. Because the shape of the mountain is like a goshawk lying on the ground, it is named Luoying Ridge. The mountain is rugged, with few vegetation, and it is located in a remote area with few people. It is a desolate place. It's an ordinary thing, but it's all in the past. Since more than a thousand Tubo troops arrived the day before yesterday, the mountain has been completely noisy. Not only did a group of Tubo soldiers build two walls on the mountainside The stone wall is too high, and a huge fortress is built on the top of the mountain. Every day, all kinds of noises are extremely noisy, smashing the tranquility of Luoyingling for thousands of years.

"Hurry up, move so fucking fast, the general will arrive in no time, if you can't build a stronghold, you won't have enough heads to chop off!"

At the top of the mountain, a Tubo general dressed in the costume of the head of a thousand households held a whip and led a dozen guards to patrol the chaotic camp. This man was Ordo, the head of a thousand households under Jieming Lusong Ming, he is the most cruel person, he doesn't swear, and the whip in his hand is not idle. Seeing the soldiers who move slowly, he whips them unceremoniously, and strikes hard, showing no mercy at all. However, maybe it was because he was too focused on supervising the work, but he didn't notice that the two soldiers who were working hard to lift the big stone not far away were a little different-these two soldiers were both They were soldiers, no matter their clothes or colors, they were all the same as ordinary Tubo soldiers, the only difference was that the eyes of these two people were always scanning around from time to time, appearing extremely agile and vigilant.

There are many rocks and few trees in Luoying Mountain. Naturally, the construction of the camp cannot be done with wood, but local materials can only be used, and stones can be used as walls. Fortunately, there are many big stones on the top of the mountain, but the Tubo army is not afraid that there are no stones to use. Hundreds of people are busy After busy work, the stone wall was built neatly. The two strange soldiers were just one of the army who built the wall, but they didn't really put the boulders on the wall. After swaying around for a while, he quietly slipped out of the camp from the uninhabited place behind the camp, and sneaked all the way to the mountainside of the back mountain.

"Cuckoo, Cuckoo..."

After sneaking up to the mountainside, the two soldiers did not continue to go down. Instead, they crouched vigilantly behind a large rock, and uttered a few cuckoo calls towards the dense bushes not far away.

"Cricket, cricket..."

Not long after the chirping of the birds, there was a response from the bushes, but after hearing the chirping of crickets, two men in green clothes with bushes on their bodies flashed out like ghosts, and rushed towards the two men. A small soldier waved his hand and signaled "It's all right", and then saw the two small soldiers bent over and rushed into the bushes quickly, and disappeared without a trace after a while of rubbing clothes. disappeared.

"report!"

In a natural karst cave on the back of Luoying Mountain, hundreds of exhausted officers and soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion covered the ground in quilts and other things. In the headquarters deep in the karst cave, led by Liu Ziming, Li Yaodong, Lu Sansheng and others A group of officers did not have the good fortune to rest on the spot. They all gathered in front of a temporary sand table, tensely deducing the offensive and defensive battles. When the discussion was getting intense, they heard the sound of the drawn curtain. the voice of the report.

"Come in!"

Liu Ziming is the highest military officer here, so he responded without hesitation, and soon after seeing the curtain move, the two scouts who wandered around the Tubo camp earlier appeared in front of everyone.

"How's it going?"

Liu Ziming raised his hand casually, and he was not too polite as he returned the salute of the two scouts, and asked straightforwardly about the enemy's situation.

"Reporting to the deputy brigade commander, the enemy's situation has been roughly figured out. There are about 1000 or 50 enemies on the mountain, divided into three parts. Among them, the camp on the top of the mountain has the largest number of people, about [-]. The first stone wall and the second stone wall There are about [-] enemies. The front and back stone walls are connected by several ditches, and there is a mountain road leading directly to the camp on the top of the mountain. On the back, there is only a team of [-] patrols in charge of guarding. They are divided into two shifts and interact every quarter of an hour. According to the words of the head of the enemy's thousand households, the enemy's army is about to arrive, and the time is uncertain, perhaps around noon."

When Liu Ziming asked, the two scouts did not dare to be negligent. After exchanging glances with each other, the older one stood up, stood at attention with a "snap", and reported the news he had found. Reported out one by one.

"Very well, let's all go down and rest first."

While listening, Liu Ziming adjusted the sand table. After the scouts finished their report, he had already adjusted the sand table in place. He didn't ask any more questions, but just waved his hand and gave a faint order.

"Yes!"

Seeing this, the two scouts didn't dare to stay any longer, each stood at attention and saluted, then turned and retreated.

"Everyone, time is running out. The original night attack plan may not be implemented in time. It seems that we can only attack and defeat the enemy by force. Do you have any different opinions?"

Although Liu Ziming has just taken office, he has been assigned to the First Brigade by Li Xian's orders over the years. In addition, he is very fond of muskets, so he hangs out in the First Brigade a lot, and he is very familiar with the First Brigade's regulations and military terms. , this sudden decision, it really looks like it, just like being the chief officer of the first brigade for many years.

"Seconded!"

"Fight!"

"feasible!"

The matter has come to this point, but there is no other way to go except for a strong attack. All the generals present will have no other thoughts about this, and they all express their opinions.

"That's good, the company commanders gather their teams immediately and prepare for a strong attack!"

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Liu Ziming stopped talking nonsense, waved his hand, and gave the order with pride.
