About ten days after Shi Feixuan went to warn and persuade Xu Ziling again and failed, when the weather became colder and colder, when the north and south of the river were covered with white snow, and it gradually entered the coldest season of the year.
, a certain bad little girl Grand Master who wandered from Sichuan and Sichuan to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Yingchuan finally wandered again and returned to Yuhang County of Shuanglong Army.
But this time, as soon as she came back, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who had also just returned to Yuhang, invited her to the official office in Yuhang.
And when she came to the scene out of curiosity, she found that there was not some grand welcome ceremony or winter banquet for her, but the kind that she was most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most.
After the meeting she liked, of course she looked unhappy and sat cross-legged on her seat with a small face and angrily. Even Song Que, Song Shidao and Song Clan's "Heavenly Sword"
When Zhi and others came in and saluted her, she was a bit rude.
That’s right!
For this meeting, Song Que, the leader of the Song Dynasty, Song Shidao, the son of the Song Dynasty, and Song Zhi, the second-in-command of the Song Dynasty, who were far away in the mountain city of Lingnan, were urgently invited and came overnight, together with Kou Zhong and Na from the Shuanglong Army.
Xu Ziling, Huanwan and others who had rushed back from Yingchuan a few days ago, day and night, there were actually more than a dozen people present, and they were all the highest-level figures in the Shuanglong Army and the Song Dynasty.
From this we can see how important and urgent this meeting is.
"Everyone!"
"Originally, Ziling was supposed to stay in Yingchuan and take charge of the situation, but..."
Soon, at Kou Zhong's signal, Xu Ziling stood up first and began his speech with a serious face.
"Given the seriousness of the matter!"
"Ziling had to hand over the defense as soon as he got the news and rushed back to Yuhang."
"The thing is like this..."
Seeing that all the senior officials in the Shuangyong Army were looking at him in confusion, Song Que and others from the Song Clan also frowned slightly and wondered why they were not staying in the more important Yingchuan. As a last resort, Xu Ziling had to make a long story short and tell the story of what happened to him that day.
What Shi Feixuan met and learned was stated in detail and hastily.
The general situation is: after Li Clan saw that they could no longer control the rapid development of their Ssangyong Army, and even Cihang Jingzhai's several "trapped dragon" plans failed, they decided to take a desperate risk and kill the enemy.
Wuyuan County, Yulin County and other key places 'sent away' the Eastern Turks with the intention of letting the Turks invade the Central Plains?
"Everyone..."
"The above statements are true. It has been confirmed that the people in Wuyuan County, Yulin County and other places have been evacuated by the Li Clan!"
"I believe that in the near future, perhaps in this winter or in the beginning of spring, the Turks will enter Wuyuan County, Yulin County and other places."
After a while, after seeing his bad little girl, Master, napping hard and yawning several times, and stretching several times, Xu Ziling finally gave him what he had received from his master Feixuan about ten days ago.
The situation learned was roughly stated.
"That's why!"
"In order to avoid being caught off guard, Ziling thought over and over again and decided to put aside the affairs of Yingchuan without authorization and rushed back to report."
"Everyone!"
"We don't have much time left to prepare."
Finally, Xu Ziling finally reiterated that he had briefly investigated and various signs showed that it was a fact that the Li Clan had "sent" key places such as Wuyuan County and Yulin County to the East Turks for takeover, and it was thought that the division at that time
Fei Xuan personally warned him in person, which was enough to prove that things were definitely close.
"!
"
"It's such a wolfish ambition!"
Boom!
After listening to Xu Ziling's speech, Song Que, the "Heavenly Sword" who had always upheld the concept of restoring Han unification and had always hated the Hu people, was of course the first to stand up and slap the table and angrily shouted:
"What a great Li!"
"What a great Li Yuan!
"
"Song has said many times long ago that people who are not of my race must have different hearts! Those Li clans with Hu people's blood cannot be trusted. Looking at it today, they are really heartless, crazy, unrighteous and shameless people!"
"Then Li Yuan, I swear to punish him!
"
Fortunately, this is Yuhang, which is at least thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Otherwise, Song Que, the "Heavenly Sword", might be so angry that he might not even want to hold the meeting, and just grab the knife and go to the palace in Chang'an City to prepare to assassinate that person.
Li Yuan is going?
"..."
"Brother Song, please be patient and don't be impatient!"
At this time, Lu Miaozi, who was also invited, spoke. After appeasing Song Que and telling him not to worry, he looked at Xu Ziling and asked:
"Ziling!"
"Is the news reliable?"
After the confirmation, Lu Miaozi's face quickly became unsightly.
After all, the situation of the Ssangyong Army is very good at the moment. They are planning to prepare for the Northern Expedition as soon as spring comes. The workshops are also working overtime to produce aircraft and various replacement parts. But who would have thought that in this kind of situation?
What happened at the critical moment?
If this is true, then the Li clan has indeed conquered the army in Jiangnan Road, forcing the Ssangyong army in Jiangnan and sharpening their swords to continue to shrink or be forced to defend?
But no matter what, the best outcome at that time is probably to be huddled south of the river. But in that case, the hinterland of the Central Plains, that large area that occupies most of the world's population, cultivated land and wealth
, it will inevitably turn into scorched earth!
That kind of thing is ten times or even a hundred times more tragic than the current chaos in the world?!
"There won't be any fake ones."
"Shi Feixuan informed me of the matter. Firstly, she wanted to persuade me, and secondly, she also had the intention of revealing the news in advance. It should not be the instruction of Cihang Jingzhai or Li Clan."
"nature!"
"Maybe he wants to persuade us to give up the struggle for hegemony, give up the Central Plains and compete for the world?"
"I can probably guess what she is thinking. She just wants to use this to coerce us. If our Ssangyong Army gives up the Northern Expedition and abandons Yingchuan, maybe the Li Clan will not let the Turks invade again?"
"But I don't know exactly how."
After saying that, Xu Ziling shook his head bitterly and regretfully, saying that it was just his personal guess and idea, and we would have to wait and see to see what the specific situation was.
"correct!"
"Before I rushed back to Yuhang, I also sent many spies from Yingchuan to Wuyuan County and Yulin County, plus the Jianghu spies from Yinkui."
"More news..."
"It is estimated that they will be sent back in about half a month at the latest."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ziling added a few more words, then thought about it and stopped talking.
Because, he still can't figure out what the purpose of that master's concubine Xuan ran to Yingchuan to find him and told him what should have been a secret. Is it really just to persuade and coerce their Shuanglong Army to give up their struggle for hegemony?
, or do you want to secretly tip them off, or simply both?
But no matter what, they must first discuss how to deal with the upcoming Turkic threat. As for other things, they can discuss it later.
"..."
"..."
Hearing this, Song Shidao and Song Zhi, the second-in-command of the Song Clan, looked at each other, but neither of them had any good ideas.
After all, facing the Turkic cavalry, their Lingnan soldiers may not be able to defeat them. Otherwise, the five thousand cavalrymen at Pegasus Ranch would not have been able to defeat the 40,000 troops of the Four Great Bandits so easily!
What worries them even more is that when Li Clan releases the original Turks, the other party's cavalry will probably not be as simple as three or five thousand, but will definitely be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Because the Turkic people's grasslands are rich in horses, they are nomadic people on horseback. They are not at the same level as the petty horse farms of Pegasus Ranch. Those Turkic people can completely ride one person and one person, or even ride two people.
!
Once they encounter a large-scale Turkic cavalry on the plains, they have no other choice but to rely on natural obstacles such as mountains and rivers and cities to defend it.
"At present, our Ssangyong Army has nearly 300 deployable aircraft. They are really powerful. Destroying an enemy camp is just a piece of cake!"
"But then..."
"The combat radius is currently only fifty miles. If the army cannot set up camp and block the enemies coming and going like the wind, then the flying weapon I am waiting for will not be of use?"
At this time, Lu Miaozi also spoke in time about the pros and cons of the Feitian Shenji Battalion currently owned by the Ssangyong Army, saying that without a stable rear and a solid camp of his own, those who could only fly out for dozens of miles would not be able to attack during the attack.
The kind of human-powered wooden aircraft that is very useful when taking out a city must not be used as a weapon against the Turks.
If the city is being defended and the Turks come to attack the city and set up camp outside the city, it goes without saying that no matter how many people come from the other side, they won’t be able to burn the planes of their Ssangyong Army! But if the other side comes and goes like the wind and only wants to plunder, don’t entangle with them
, nor attack their fortified city, they really have no good solution.
"..."
"Master!"
"what do you think?"
After waiting for a while, he saw that no one in the meeting spoke anymore. They all just started to discuss privately in a low voice with solemn faces. Song Que just sat on his chair with his eyes closed and thoughtful. After waiting for a while, Kou Zhong couldn't help but
He looked directly at their troublesome little master who was taking a nap and didn't know if he had fallen asleep just now, and asked carefully.
"..."
(っ?-?)
"??"
(???.???)????
"What are you doing?"
(??ω???‖)?
Seeing that it was all about her, Annie naturally stared at Kou Zhong in confusion and panic and asked.
because……
She wasn't even listening!
She was just thinking about whether to ask that old man Lu Miaozi to cook some delicious side dishes for her tonight, and then after eating, let Huanwan go to the hot springs with her and let him massage her.
When you have the time to wash your shoulders and wash your feet (pronounced jió) or something like that, how can you have time to pay attention to the boring things discussed by this group of stupid guys who bang the table, blow their beards and stare at each other?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
(Tibbers said that after the little master squeezes his shoulders and washes his feet (pronounced jió), maybe Uncle Xiong can have a good chat with the enchantress to see if the other person's flesh becomes better.
Nen… Oh no, it’s to see if the opponent’s martial arts has become higher, and then it can use its “Bear Claw Technique” to have an in-depth discussion with it?)
"Master."
"It's the Turks' invasion of the Central Plains."
"Ziling just said..."
As a last resort, Kou Zhong, who knew that his master must not have listened attentively just now, first looked at the people around him. After seeing that everyone was still thinking sadly or discussing countermeasures in a low voice, he thought about it for a while and then read it again.
The situation that Xu Ziling has just explained is restated again.
"Turks?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"They come as soon as they come. Can't you just go and fight them back?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
“When the jackals come, fight them!”
(?????)?
Anne was a little confused, because in her opinion, it was just an invasion by some Turks, so what was there to discuss?
If necessary, she has 11,100,000 ways to make it difficult for the other party to come back, and it's not too foul. Why do people like these people need to get together here and have such a boring fight?
s meeting?
"No way……"
"Jiangnan may be fine, but Yingchuan... then there are less than 40,000 soldiers and horses. There is no other way except to occupy the city and defend it!"
"If it weren't for the natural danger of the Yangtze River in the south of the Yangtze River, our so-called Ssangyong Army of 300,000 people, even with the elite troops in the south of the ridge, would not be able to compete with the Turkic cavalry on the plains, who come and go like the wind."
Hearing Annie's words, Xu Ziling hurriedly smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He had already thought about it when he came. If he wanted to defend Yingchuan, it would be easy to send hundreds of planes there to resist the Turks' upcoming invasion. However, their Yingchuan was defended, but the Central Plains
What to do about the difference?
"hateful!"
Boom!
Hearing Xu Ziling's answer and seeing that his master didn't seem to have any good solutions, Kou Zhong became more and more angry. After thinking about it and finding no countermeasures, he slammed the table and cursed angrily.
With.
"Then Li Clan is really crazy~!"
"I didn't expect that they would really dare to risk the disapproval of the world and do such a crazy thing?"
Although Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Xu Yuanlang and Du Fuwei can also be regarded as enemies of the Ssangyong Army, and sooner or later they will confront the Ssangyong Army in Jiangnan, but Kou Zhong really wants to sit back and watch those people being plundered and ravaged by the Turks, and watch a large number of people from the Central Plains.
The Han people were slaughtered and plundered, and the vast and fertile land was reduced to ruins, but he still couldn't bear it and was unwilling to die without saving them.
But the problem now is that even if he wants to save him, there seems to be no good way?
Putting aside everything else, it is impossible for Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Xu Yuanlang and Du Fuwei to easily believe and be willing to cooperate with their Shuanglong Army unconditionally.
Those people, as far as Kou Zhong knew about them, even if they received the news and warnings, they would not believe them all. In the end, even if they saw the Turks entering the Central Plains, they might only resist on their own, or even counterattack.
Come here to stumble each other and lead the Turks to other people's territory?
That kind of thing, Kou Zhong feels, will definitely happen without a doubt!
"Kou Zhong..."
"I just thought about it, although what Li Clan did is really disgusting!"
"but……"
"From their standpoint, is it a clever move to let the Turks enter the border?"
At this time, Song Que, who was the first to calm down and think about it for a while, spoke again.
He first made a few statements, and in turn tried to persuade and signal Kou Zhong not to get excited. Then he continued to explain with a sigh:
"In this fight for world hegemony, you should do whatever it takes!"
"Li Clan's move is indeed vicious..."
"On the one hand, it can consume the heroes of the Central Plains, leaving us exhausted and wasting our strength; on the other hand, it can effectively prevent our Jiangnan army from going north to the Central Plains, and then seize the world?"
"Three, it can also in turn consume the Turks' strength and divert the Turks' pressure on Li Tang. It can be said that killing two birds with one stone!"
"By the time……"
"While the heroes of the Central Plains are weak and the Turks have retreated to the grassland, is it not impossible for him to lead Li Tang's army, which is waiting to recharge its strength, to march straight in and conquer the world in one fell swoop?"
"As for the Turks..."
"Their population is already sparse. Even if they return victorious from a robbery, they will definitely consume a lot of money. It will take more than ten years to convert the stolen property and women into soldiers."
"Before that, if the Li clan has unified the world as soon as possible, they might be able to counterattack the grassland and achieve unparalleled achievements. The final benefits and reputation will all belong to them?"
In this way, under the expressions of everyone who were either frightened, angry, pensive, or suddenly awakened, "Heavenly Sword" Song Que began to analyze rationally, which directly made everyone listening, especially Kou Zhong, angry.
At the same time, my heart also felt cold.
"But!"
"How could they do that?"
"In that case, the Central Plains might be completely ruined!"
"A broken world, what good is it to the Li clan?!"
Although what the other party said was very reasonable, Kou Zhong still found it difficult to accept it.
After all, after the Wuhu rebellion in China, the vitality of the Han people in the Central Plains was severely damaged. The Sui Dynasty finally ended the war and recovered a little vitality. However, it was not long after the war was devastated again. If the Turks invaded again and burned, killed and looted all the people,
If this happens, I'm afraid that future generations will not be able to recover.
The price was too heavy. If it were Kou Zhong, he would definitely not be able to make such an evil decision!
“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters!”
"In terms of cruelty and ruthlessness, Li Yuan's approach is qualified."
"On the contrary, you..."
"Kou Zhong, a woman's kindness can sometimes harm you."
Shaking his head, Song Que briefly tasted what he had said and did not dare to continue talking too much. After all, Kou Zhong could only understand the emperor's art by himself. Even though Song Que and Kou Zhong had a brother-in-law relationship.
, but it’s hard to say too much about that kind of thing.
"..."
Kou Zhong did not say anything, but once again bowed his head in silence and paused before continuing to rack his brains to think of how to crack Li Clan's conspiracy.
Of course, or it can't be said to be a conspiracy at all, but a conspiracy?
After all, it was Cihang Jingzhai’s concubine Xuan Ming who came to tell his brother Xu Ziling that the Turks were about to invade the Central Plains. Now they also know it, and they have a buffer period of at least two to three months, but even if they know
, he still had no idea how to counter or resist.
Especially when the hinterland of the Central Plains is currently firmly controlled by forces such as Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou, Li Zitong, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Xu Yuanlang and Dou Jiande, and their Ssangyong Army only has one Yingchuan County that they just captured.
It is almost impossible to get those various anti-kings who are working in their own way to unite to resist the Turks!
And similarly, at this time, when foreign enemies were about to invade, their Shuanglong Army in the south of the Yangtze River and the elite soldiers in the south of the Lingnan did not dare to launch the Northern Expedition or let the army take the initiative to fight and resist the Turks who were about to invade the Central Plains.
Marching to fight was not as simple as before when his brother Xu Ziling broke into pieces and took dozens and hundreds of people to Yingchuan and took over the 'Wei State' which had almost no resistance.
"..."
(????)
"..."
(??ω??)
Finally, looking at these strange uncles with sad faces, she was afraid that they would not be able to finish this boring meeting, so Anne became a little impatient.
"You continue to think slowly!"
|???ω??)??
"Do you want to take a rest first?"
(゜▽＾*)
"goodbye!
"
-=????=?????(?)?
After saying that, without waiting for those people to react, just to see that nothing happened to her, Annie took advantage of the opportunity when no one was talking, jumped down from her chair, and then didn't wait for anyone to say anything.
Then he ran out of the door in a hurry.
