Chapter 688 Birds do their best to hide their bows

In the Wuji Palace in Chang'an.

When Xiao Yu heard Li Yuan say this, he said, "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, this Fu Gongyou has no good intentions and seems to want to get along with the two countries of Tang and Zhao. Your Majesty should be careful."

Li Yuan heard Xiao Yu say this and smiled and said, "Your meaning coincides with me. If I can't see through this thought of Fu Gongyou, wouldn't it be a joke for the people of the world? But I still have to intervene here in Jianghuai."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan paused and said, "At present, most of the world has been settled, but Zhao State is the only one who is separatist and independent. Li Chongjiu's son became emperor, but he still wanted to fight against our Tang Dynasty to the end. My intention to unify the Six Harmonies cannot be changed. At present, the only one country left behind is Zhao State. If Zhao State is settled, then Du Fuwei, Lin Shihong and others will be insignificant."

"Now Wang Shichong and Xiao Xian have been broken. After I decided to prepare for the troops, I will launch a large-scale attack on Zhao. What do you think, your two beloved ministers?"

Xiao Yu and Liu Hongji looked at each other after hearing what Li Yuan said.

Liu Hongji said: "Your Majesty, there must be a decisive battle between Tang and Zhao, and the difference is only in the morning and evening. According to the opinions of the ministers, it is better to fight early than late."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Liu Aiqing, I'm going with me again, and tell me if your reason is inconsistent with me again."

Liu Hongji said immediately: "My heart of the Tang Dynasty is in Guanzhong. One-half of the Zhechong Prefectures of our Tang Dynasty's prefectures are in Guanzhong. There are 258 Zhechong Prefectures and 260,000 soldiers in total. This is to recruit the people from Guanzhong to visit all directions."

"But now Guanzhong is controlled by Luoyang. Li Chongjiu occupied Luoyang and cut off the Jianghuai water grain transport route. This has made me very tired and disadvantaged. The people in Chang'an have a difficult life. If this continues, it will be unfavorable to our Tang Dynasty. The national strength is declining, so I think it is better to fight early than to fight late."

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "What Liu Aiqing said is very true."

Xiao Yu said, "Your Majesty, Li Chongjiu is not Wang Shichong or Xiao Xian. This battle is not easy to fight. Four years ago, Li Chongjiu had not yet achieved a climate. He only lived in a random place and dared to attack Taiyuan and the counties of Hedong. Although our army finally repelled, our Taiyuan was also defeated by our army. Now Li Chongjiu has grown his wings and has defeated Goguryeo and pacified Shandong. The Zhao army has won consecutive battles. The soldiers of Yan and Zhao have always been brave and brave, and are not inferior to the Guanzhong Prefecture. We do not have enough chance of winning if we want to fight with them."

Li Yuan said, "Where can you fight with confidence? I will fight again. Li Chongjiu is indeed not Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian and others. His power has grown a lot in the past four years, but I am not Li Yuan four years ago. Tang and Zhao will definitely have a decisive battle. I will take the initiative and catch him off guard!"

"I wish to hear the strategy in your Majesty!"

Li Yuan walked to the flat sheepskin map with a bamboo stick. The servants on both sides knew that their monarch and ministers wanted to discuss extremely confidential matters, so they all retreated and avoided them.

In the main hall, there were only three kings and ministers.

Li Yuan immediately pointed his bamboo stick north and said, "I decided to order the general manager of Jiangzhou, Li Chen, King Xiangwu, to lead the army of 30,000 Hedong troops to go out to Jiangzhou to attack Taiyuan County. This is the first way."

Then Li Yuan's bamboo stick slide south: "I will order King Li Shentong of Huai'an, King Gong of Xiangyi Li Shenfu, and King Li Daoxuan of Huaiyang to lead 20,000 troops from Shangdang to attack Heyang, which is the second route."

Li Yuan's bamboo stick continued to slide south: "I will order the prince Jiancheng again, and the King of Qi Yuanji led 100,000 Guanzhong Prefecture troops out of Tongguan to attack Luoyang in front. This is the third route."

"Then order Hejian King Li Xiaogong and Lujiang King Li Yuan to lead 80,000 Bashu troops to go out to Xiangyang and attack the Yanshi area. This is the fourth route."

"In the end, King Li Fuwei of Wu led 50,000 Jianghuai troops to cross the Huai River to attack Shandong, which was the fifth route."

"The five groups sent troops, totaling 280,000 troops, and attacked Zhao together, so that Li Chongjiu could not take care of each other!"

After hearing Li Yuan's huge plan, Liu Hongji and Xiao Yu couldn't help but be amazed. This time the dispatch of troops was the largest in the history of Li Tang. When he first attacked Wang Shichong, he only dispatched 100,000 government soldiers. Obviously, Li Yuan took out his family's foundation and fought with Zhao with his troops that dominated the country, and then he made great contributions to defeat Li Chongjiu.

Xiao Yu and others were also discerning people. These five armies came fiercely, but the purpose of Hedong and Jianghuai was to restrain the Zhao army. The real killer was to attack the three armies in Luoyang.

Among these three armies, the most elite were the 100,000 government troops who came out of Guanzhong, and the 80,000 Bashu troops led by Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, a famous general of the Tang army, to siege Li Tang in Luoyang, a total of 200,000 troops were dispatched, which was ten times the strength of the Zhao army in this area.

"Your Majesty, this battle has actually been betting on most of my Tang Dynasty's family. This is a bet that will sway the country." Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Hongji said: "Your Majesty is forcing Li Chongjiu to bet with us at this moment. Our army takes the initiative. That is to say, Your Majesty is now on the banker, and Li Chongjiu has to fight and take the initiative on our side."

Li Yuan said, "Yes, this time the troops are all the military power of the Tang Dynasty, and all the elite troops are coming out. I want to see how much pounds and pounds Li Chongjiu is today."

Li Yuan's eyes were stern.

In Chang'an Qinwang Mansion.

Li Shimin was shooting archery in the martial arts field in his mansion.

puff!

The arrow hit the bull's eye, and the tail kept shaking.

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

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Fortunately, my previous skills have not yet had legs. I just haven't ridden a horse for a few days, and my legs have been resurrected."

Changsun Wuji said, "Your Highness, that I will accompany you to the southern suburbs tomorrow."

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

Changsun Wuji knew Li Shimin's thoughts and didn't know what to say to comfort him.

At this time, Xue, a counselor of the Qin Palace, closed his hand and walked to the martial arts training ground and said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, this is a secret letter from the palace."

Li Shimin nodded and lowered his bow, took the letter and slapped the letter and smiled bitterly: "Although the divine turtle is alive, it still has its time; the snake rides on the fog and finally becomes ashes of soil. The old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles; the martyrs are in their old age, and they are full of ambitions. It is ridiculous and ridiculous."

Xue Shou and Changsun Wuji had never seen Li Shimin lose his composure, so they couldn't help but step forward and said, "What's wrong with the King of Qin? Why is this? What news has been heard in the palace?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "You said the woods are so big that the birds have not yet shot out, but there are people who are anxious to hide the good bow. Do you think this is a misfortune of human beings or a misfortune of a good bow?"

"Your Highness!"
