Over the past month, Liusha has been making final preparations.

All preparations have been made now, and even Nei Shiteng and Han Xin on the Lingnan side have been notified. Of course, Lingnan is too far away and the information exchange is seriously lagging. Nei Shiteng and Han Xin only need to stick to their positions and be on guard at the same time.

It is enough for Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo. They do not need to participate in the operations in the Central Plains for the time being.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the right time to take action.

And today's gathering can be regarded as a mobilization.

It not only boosts morale, but also details the responsibilities of each person again.

However, the timing was coincidental, as Ying Zheng was seriously ill and dying thousands of miles away.

Among this group of important members of Quicksand, there is a missing person with neither high nor low status - Mo Ya's good partner, Bai Feng.

He would have attended originally, but was temporarily called away by the eldest son's residence.

Han Fei didn't bother to postpone the meeting for Bai Feng. Anyway, he was just Mo Crow's deputy, and Mo Crow would be responsible for what to do next.

While the meeting was being held here, a small meeting was being held in the eldest son's mansion. There were only three people attending the meeting - the eldest son Fusu, the general Meng Tian, ​​and Bai Feng.

In the reception room of the eldest son's residence, Meng Tian sat aside, holding a cup of tea in front of his face without saying a word. The heat rising from the cup almost completely covered his eyes.

Fusu stood next to the main seat. Next to the seat was Changhong, the first of the seven swords that Gu Xun had used most in front of others!

Bai Feng, who was summoned without any end, caught a glimpse of Changhong next to the chairman. His pupils dilated slightly, but his expression remained as usual. He saluted and asked:

"What do you want from me, Your Highness?"

"Mr. Bai Feng, do you remember that you sent several letters to the teacher before, and one of them was from me?" Fusu's expression was complicated and strange, but his tone was very calm.

Bai Feng nodded, "Of course I remember this."

"Do you remember who the other recipients are, sir? There should be six of them." Fusu continued to ask.

Bai Feng nodded again, "Yes, there are six of them - even your highness, there are seven of them in total, I remember them all."

"Okay." Fusu nodded slightly, stepped forward and handed Bai Feng a stack of letters, "Here are six letters, please excuse me, Mr. Bai Feng, for one more trip."

Bai Feng first accepted the letter and the errand, and then replied, "Your Highness, the whereabouts of some of these six people are difficult to determine. Is there any request for delivery time?"

For Liusha and Baifeng, they can definitely find these people, but it's hard to say how long it will take.

Coupled with Han Fei's big move, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of tasks in the future.

If Fusu is not in a hurry, let Liusha's intelligence network identify the target, and then he can go to work.

If you are in a hurry, then he will go on stage personally and get it done as quickly as possible.

When doing things, you must always prioritize them.

Fusu pondered for a while and then replied, "This matter... please do it as soon as possible. Don't delay it if necessary."

This is what needs to be expedited.

Bai Feng nodded, understanding, "Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"

Fusu waved his hand, "Just go and do your work. I'm looking for you for this one thing."

After hearing this, Bai Feng bowed to Fusu and Mengtian and left.

Fusu's eyes immediately turned to Meng Tian, ​​"General Meng."

Meng Tian, ​​who had been sleeping as if he had been asleep, immediately came back to his senses and responded angrily, "Your Highness!"

"Do you understand Mr. Han Fei's recent actions?" Fusu asked bluntly.

Meng Tian smiled bitterly and nodded.

Of course he knows.

Han Fei didn't want to avoid people at all, he was completely above board.

If the patrol team entered the North as usual, it would take at most three days for the emperor to know what Liusha wanted to do and what he was doing!

Fusu then asked, "Then why do you think he is so blatant?"

This question silenced Meng Tianqian.

It's not that he doesn't know the answer, but he doesn't dare to say it.

Judging from the way Han Fei responded during the emperor's last northern tour, he had no intention of confronting the emperor.

But his recent actions all express the same sentence - I don't pretend anymore, I show my cards!

There are only two possibilities for this abnormal operation.

First, his thinking suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he decided to have a head-on confrontation with the emperor.

Secondly, his mind has not changed, but he believes that he will no longer offend the emperor by doing this, or that the emperor no longer poses a threat.

The probability of the former exists, but it is obviously not high.

The meaning of the latter, coupled with the fact that the previous emperor was seriously ill, is self-evident.

But Meng Tian couldn't tell this answer.

Not to mention that he was still loyal to the empire and the emperor, even if he was no longer loyal to Ying Zheng, he would not be able to say in front of his son Fusu that his father was going to die, or that others thought his father was going to die.

.

"Forgive me for being stupid..."

Before Meng Tian could stop pretending to be stupid, Fusu raised his hand and interrupted him:

"I understand, General. There is no need to say anything."

After saying that, Fusu walked to his seat and sat down. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Teacher often says that many things in this world are determined by life and death, and everyone gets their own retribution."

"Maybe... this is just the time!"

Meng Tian lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

Fusu was certainly qualified to say that it was time for his family to "take their own retribution," but since he was a foreign minister, it was better for him to keep his mouth shut.

Fusu didn't care that Meng Tian pretended not to exist, and continued, "No matter what, we are unable to intervene in the emperor's affairs, let alone change them. Next, we must take care of our own affairs first!"

As he said that, Fusu's whole body temperament changed, the previous frustration and decadence were wiped away, his face regained its former calmness and perseverance, and he asked in a deep voice:

"General Meng, what do you think of Wang Li?"

Meng Tian considered it carefully and then replied, "Your Highness, if something happens, Wang Li is really a trouble. Although it does not constitute a fatal threat, it must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause more chaos."

After Ying Zheng's last northern tour, he took away Meng Tian's responsibility for maintaining the border defense line and transferred it to Wang Li, along with nearly one-third of the Northern Border Army's military power.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Meng Tian lost 50,000 to 60,000 troops at that time, but because the responsibility of border defense fell to Wang Li, he could then eat away at Meng Tian's military power bit by bit - this

He has been doing this for some time.

Strictly speaking, the only things that Meng Tian can firmly grasp are tens of thousands of golden fire cavalry and tens of thousands of people used to build the Great Wall - this part is converted into one-third to four-quarters of the total number of northern border troops.

one part.

In the end, most of the Great Wall Legion would fall into Wang Li's hands.

However, this process takes a certain amount of time, and judging from the current situation, Wang Li may not have that much time.

Meng Tian estimated that Wang Li would only have time to seize at most half, that is, control of the 100,000 northern border troops.

And this number also needs to be watertight.

Although the army only relies on military power and not on people when it comes to operations, when deploying troops, it only relies on military power, and the use of troops must rely on people.

The Northern Frontier Army has been under the control of Meng Tian for many years. Most of the middle and high-level officers are Meng Tian's own people. Even if they are not against Wang Li, they will not let him use them very comfortably.

Of course, with the Wang family's prestige and energy in the military, Wang Li has many ways to solve this small problem.

But this brings us back to the previous issue - time.

There is a high probability that Wang Li will not have time to completely reorganize the army.

Coupled with Wang Li's own level - Meng Tian did not despise the enemy, but the battle at Daze Mountain made it difficult for him to judge.

Although the defeat of Daze Mountain was the result of many factors, Wang Li's responsibility is definitely indispensable.

As a general, if you can fight a war with such virtue, you deserve to be dealt with directly by military law!

And Meng Tian, ​​who had mastered all the details of the Battle of Daze Mountain, discovered a serious flaw in Wang Li - this man couldn't fight against the wind at all!

Throughout the Battle of Daze Mountain, Wang Li's early preparations and arrangements were considered step-by-step and steady. However, as soon as the situation exceeded Wang Li's expectations, he would immediately stop playing and act like a headless fly.

The ability to adapt is too poor.

This kind of talent is almost rare, not to mention sitting at the same table as Zhao Kuo.

However, this kind of evaluation is not too disparaging to Wang Li. His foundation is indeed solid. There is nothing wrong with arranging troops and setting up camps. However, his ability to withstand pressure is not good. It is probably because his life has been too smooth.

It can only be said that his identity as the grandson of Marquis Wu Cheng and the son of Marquis Tong Wu not only made him successful, but also fettered him.

Meng Tian really didn't think that this kind of player could pose much of a threat.

Of course, this is just talking about Wang Li's performance on the battlefield.

But many times, the overall situation is not determined by the outcome of one or two local wars.
To be continued...
