Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 400 Discussing against the enemy
On the vast prairie, the cold wind whistled.The crown prince, the generals, and Xu Qing sat in the middle army, the crown prince sat on a stone, and the others sat on the ground.Of course, the snow had been shoveled away, and the crowd sat on the sand.At this time, a few wild wolves came from nowhere, and they were so stupid that they didn't know how many people there were.Caught by everyone, they lit a fire and roasted the wolf meat.

Naturally, the crown prince would not eat this kind of wolf meat, and Xu Qing also felt that it was not good to eat it. After all, the heart and lungs of a wolf are notoriously poisonous, and other parts must be bad for the body as well.Xu Qing looked around and couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness, why are you camping in this plain? Once Xue Yantuo's cavalry arrived, wouldn't they become meat on the chopping block?"

Li Jiancheng laughed, looked around at the sitting generals and said, "Look, I'm right, I said that someone must give me advice now, right?"

At this time, a general said: "His Royal Highness, I, Feng Li, are not convinced. He just raised a question and there is nothing he can do about it."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "General Feng, don't worry, this kid Xu Qing is asking me for something, otherwise how would he say it."

Xu Qing was stunned, he didn't think about asking for anything, so he returned: "His Royal Highness, I don't mean that..."

"No, no, Xu Qing, this can be..." Li Jiancheng said: "After Gu expelled Xue Yantuo, six prefectures and seven prefectures can be built in Xue Yantuo's place. As long as you figure out how to build a city for Gu, then Gu will May you be the governor of Gaolan Prefecture, and lead the promotion from afar, but you are treated like a prince, so you are willing."

The governor of a state is the biggest official, but later, as the state became smaller and smaller, the governor was gradually no longer set up, but the former governor who was in charge of supervision became the chief official of the military and government.However, in frontier or wealthy states, the post of governor is still retained, but it is also an honorary position.The most important place for a local official is the Great Official of the Borderlands, and the most important one for a Beijing official is called Fenghou Baixiang. Xu Qing is not old enough, and it is difficult for him to be named Houbaixiang for the time being. Therefore, Li Jiancheng promised him to supervise a state, which is honor. Pet.

But Xu Qing declined and said: "Thank you for your kindness, the prince, but the minister has gained his current status, and there are already quite a few criticisms in the court. If you add another official to the rank, the minister will panic."

Li Jiancheng snorted and said, "What is there to complain about? A group of people who are vegetarians, relying on their age and the glory of their parents, are here to point out. Tell me, where should the lonely army go to find a shelter?" land of the enemy."

After hearing this, Xu Qing thought to himself that the crown prince was going to inherit the great line, how could he talk about his ministers here, if he wanted to talk about it, he had to say it in private, if he said it like this, it would be a big hit.Xu Qing coughed a few times and said, "Prince, I really have nothing to do..."

The prince smiled and said: "No way? No way, okay, if you can't think of a way, I will kill you!"

A killer word, speaking so easily, so calmly, so indifferently.Xu Qing listened, but his back turned cold, not to mention, although Li Jiancheng said this sentence easily, he may not be telling the truth. If Xu Qing really can't think of a way, Li Jiancheng may really be chopped down with a knife.Where can I find shelter in this icy and snowy wilderness?Xu Qing's face sank like water, and he thought for a moment: "His Royal Highness, I think that the current plan can allow everyone to retreat another ten miles, approach Yingzhou, and join the army."

Li Jiancheng squinted his eyes, and after listening to Xu Qing's suggestion, he said without arguing, "I'm going to kill Xue Yantuo on this grassland. If you don't take a step back, you can find a way."

Xu Qing groaned in his heart, Xue Yantuo was not killed, but his own people were chopped up, it's not worth it.He died at the hands of Xue Yantuo. He was a martyr anyway. He died at the hands of the prince. I don't know how he will make accusations against my family.Xu Qing was under pressure, and his brain turned rapidly. He looked down and saw that there was sand on the ground, and he made a sound, there it is!
Seeing Xu Qing's happy face, Li Jiancheng and the rest of the generals couldn't help but look at him, and he asked: "Dare to ask the prince and the generals, when do you think this Xue Yantuo will be able to counterattack?"

At this time, another general said: "Master Xu, Xue Yantuo's great Khan Zhenzhu Khan has died, and his subordinates have scattered like birds and beasts. The remaining fifteen will definitely think about annexing their troops first, and then choose a new leader. The lord will not be able to convince the crowd. Based on the general's understanding of the Xue Yantuo people, the Xue Yantuo people will definitely arrive before noon tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Xu Qing was a little surprised. He wondered if he could complete his plan in such a short time.Looking at the others, they were all in deep thought. In such a short period of time, it would be difficult for the prince's army of 1 people to reach the Cangzhou camp. Now, it is extremely dangerous to stay in place, and it is a dilemma.

Xu Qing asked again: "General, let me ask again, our danger now is that Xue Yantuo has the advantage of cavalry. If we can block his cavalry, will we be able to turn the crisis into safety?"

"That's right, I'm called Xie Shufang." Xie Shufang replied, "What General Xu said is true, as long as a five-foot-high city wall can be found before the Xue Yantuo people arrive, the crisis can be saved. But where is the five-foot-high city wall?" Finding it is still a problem."

Feng Li asked at this time: "General Xie, what if the Xue Yantuo people besiege us again? Our army's food and grass are for three days, and other supplies have already been thrown in Baima Mountain..."

As soon as Feng Li said this, Li Jiancheng opened his eyes. He didn't know whether the plan in the rear was successfully implemented. If it was true as Feng Li said, then this trip would be dangerous.When the soldiers around heard this, they all started talking about it.

Xie Shufang listened, and said with a smile: "General Feng, don't worry about this time, I guess Xue Yantuo's new leader will not be able to convince the crowd, as long as he sees him, he will not attack us. They must be worried about changes in the rear, um, so they retreated. "

Xu Qing also nodded, Xue Yantuo's power was too scattered, there were sixteen departments, if Zhenzhu Khan hadn't been killed by Xu Qing, even if Li Jiancheng led his troops to break out, they would have to be chased and killed by Xue Yantuo's men.But now, Tang Seng was eaten, and Zhu Bajie divided his luggage and went back to Gao Laozhuang.

Xu Qing coughed twice and said: "General Xie is right, and I agree with it. However, we need to make a few more plans. First, send twelve orders to Yingzhou for emergency, so that they can quickly join forces and go north. It not only protects the crown prince, but also finds an opportunity to destroy Xue Yantuo."

"Second, it can be used as a strategy of suspicious soldiers to continue to weaken the prestige of Xue Yantuo's new leader. You can use this Zhenzhu Khan's knife to pretend to be Zhenzhu Khan, and then claim that Zhenzhu Khan has been captured. Zhenzhu Khan can control Xue Yantuo sixteen They must have the loyal service of other tribes, and by threatening the life of Zhenzhu Khan, they will be able to separate the sixteen tribes."

When Xu Qing burned the camp that day, he deliberately destroyed Zhenzhu Khan's body.
