Chapter eight hundred and thirty second decision to cut the Tang Dynasty

After hearing Chu Suiliang say this, Xu Jingzong sneered twice and stopped saying anything. But he knew that Chu Suiliang's final choice was the same as himself.

Although Chu Suiliang has an ideal side, he is also a worldly person. Even if he doesn't think about it for himself, he has to consider it for his father Chu Liang, one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, and the Chu clan who moved to Guanzhong.

So the two began to study history, using the so-called praise and criticism, the Spring and Autumn style, and wrote Li Yuan as a lustful and timid person in the Wude Records. When he was in Jinyang, Li Yuan did not want to raise an army, but he designed a night stay in Jinyang Palace for Li Shimin and Pei Ji. The palace maid was finally forced to raise an army.

In this way, the principal conspiracy of Jinyang's uprising was on Li Shimin. Except for Li Yuan, the other heroes who raised the army like Princess Pingyang Li Tang were all derogatory. The merits were all added to Li Shimin in order to highlight his ability.

Later, it was fabricated without any fault. Li Yuan had repeatedly wanted Li Shimin to replace Li Jian as the crown prince, but they were all destroyed by Li Jiancheng. In order to make the final Xuanwu Gate Incident, Xu Jingzong also fabricated many cases of the crown prince's morality, such as Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, colluded with Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei in the harem, and secretly raised dead soldiers. He ignored his brotherhood and plotted to murder the King of Qin many times.

In the end, Li Shimin had no choice but to raise an army to kill Li Jiancheng at Xuanwu Gate and force Li Yuan to abdicate, which was also a matter of saying that Li Yuan regretted his past mistakes and realized that he was deceived by Li Jiancheng and Literature.{cf}{wx}. To Li Shimin.

In the National History Museum, Chu Suiliang wrote half of his writing and sneered at Xu Jingzong: "After this book is published, future generations and descendants will think that as long as they have power and achievements, they can become the emperor, and rebellion can be justified. From then on, everyone in the world admires power, and the etiquette will decline."

Xu Jingzong spread his hands and said, "It's nothing wrong with this. As long as Your Majesty is wise enough to make the people healthy, then everything will not be solved. According to what you said, Cao Cao and Sima Yan did something wrong?"

Chu Suiliang shook his head and said, "For the country, a stable system is far better than a wise monarch. At least Cao Cao and Sima Yan usurped the throne, but did not revise the history books to embellish him. Today, what His Majesty does is the first person in the ages."

Xu Jingzong said: "Okay, okay. If you don't tell you, just do whatever you want."

At this moment, Xu Jingzong ignored Chu Suiliang and continued to edit the book. Chu Suiliang looked at Xu Jingzong, sneered and said to himself: "If Li Tang won the world, then all the truth will be buried. Fortunately, there will be Zhao State. If the Tang Dynasty was destroyed by Zhao State in the future, then this book is the evidence of today's crime, which is enough to make him infamous for thousands of years."

Liyang City, Hebei.

For Zhao State, Liyang City was a blessed land. After seizing Liyang Cang, Li Chongjiu obtained enough military rations to support the war in the Central Plains, thus sweeping across Henan. Now Li Chongjiu moved the base camp of the Tang Dynasty this time from Youjing to Liyang City.

After Li Chongjiu secretly appointed the crown prince in February, he arrived in Liyang City by boat with light and simple clothes. Here, Li Chongjiu and his staff planned the final decisive battle against Li Tang.

In the base camp, the generals of the Zhao army are now quarreling. This is no longer the first quarrel. The important generals in Henan, Hedong and Hexi are all famous figures in the world, but when they are red in the fight, they are completely useless. What they are arguing about is whether the attack on Guanzhong is mainly Hedong, Hexi, or Henan?

The following military governors Yuchi Gong, Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche, Wang Mahan, Wang Junkuo, and Ying Hefu all wanted to take the main attack on themselves.

Wang Junkuo and Ying Hefu advocated the attack from Hexi the loudest, because it was convenient for the attack of the grassland cavalry. After the Hetao was lost, there was no geographical advantage for the Li Tang in Hexi to defend. Moreover, Duan Decao was already independent. The Zhao army attacked from here, and could first force Duan Decao to subdue, and then attack Guanzhong with the situation.

As for Hedong, it was advocated by Yuchi Gong and Xue Wanjun. After the attack on Guanzhong from Hedong, Li Yuan, King Lujiang, surrendered, Yuchi Gong captured the three counties of Li Tang, Hedong, and almost collapsed the defense line of Li Tang. With the attack distance of the Zhao army in the three counties of Hedong, the attack distance of Chang'an was greatly shortened. The dispatch of troops from Hedong was the shortest of the three routes, and the supply line was also the shortest. If the journey went smoothly, the Zhao army could attack the city of Chang'an within five days. This was also the route for Li Yuan to raise an army in Jinyang. If he broke through Pujin Pass, then the distance between the river would be Chang'an.

Finally, Luoyang was suggested by Henan Daoxingtai, Xue Wanjun, Wang Mahan, Xu Shiji and others. The reason for Henan Daoxingtai was very sufficient. The Zhao army army almost gathered here, and this was the most powerful place in the Zhao army. Although attacking Luoyang from Henan was facing the natural danger of Tongguan, the Henan Zhao army could not directly attack Tongguan, but bypass it and attack Wuguan into Guanzhong. Entering Guanzhong from Wuguan was also the route of Liu Bang's destruction of Qin back then.

The only thing that didn't say anything was Song Jingang and Xiao Xian, two important generals in Jiangnan Daotai, because they knew that no matter what, the main attack direction was Guanzhong, and it would not be Jingxiang and Bashu's turn. At that time, they would at most restrain Li Jing's troops and prevent them from returning to Guanzhong. So they would sit aside and watch the generals compete for the main attack with great envy.

They also knew why several generals had a fierce dispute, because the battle of the Tang Dynasty was the largest battle in Zhao State. After the destruction of Tang, it is very likely that Zhao State would never have a large-scale war in the future. Even if there is a large-scale war, it would not be as good as this battle.

Therefore, the generals are determined to win the battle against Tang. Whoever performed well in this battle will not only be recorded in history in the future, but will also be granted the title and have endless prosperity for future generations. Seeing that the opportunity is right now, striving to seize the main attack in front of His Majesty will become an extremely urgent matter for the generals.

After the generals finished their speeches, they looked at Li Chongjiu and waited for his decision.

Li Chongjiu glanced at the generals and looked at Zhang Xuansu who had been silent on the side and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, what do you think?"

As Li Chongjiu's chief adviser, Zhang Xuansu stood up and said, "While this attack on Tang, no matter which line is the main force, the most important thing is the movement of Li Shimin's troops in Chang'an. Our army's attack speed is fast enough to make it miss the attack. In this way, three armies surrounded the city of Chang'an, even if Li Shimin has the ability to overturn the situation, he will not be able to reverse the situation."

"But the three groups of people are fast and slow, and it is difficult to do this, so we can only settle for the second best. We must mobilize the main force Li Shimin gathered in Guanzhong, and it is best to let him hang out of Chang'an and fight us in a decisive battle. We concentrate more than two groups of troops to launch an attack on Li Shimin! In such a decisive battle, we have a great chance of winning."

"If the cooperation is not appropriate and the marching is delayed, it will be easily defeated by Li Shimin. Therefore, the strategy of splitting and attacking requires caution. No matter which main attack is the main attack, you cannot advance lightly, and Li Shimin cannot judge the direction of our main attack."

Yu Shinan said on the side: "Shilarious Secretary Zhang made a point. This time he attacked the Tang Dynasty and defeated the world in one battle, so we have a strategic goal to directly attack Guanzhong and seize Chang'an. At the same time, we must prevent Li Shimin from retreating from Guanzhong to Bashu and defending the danger. Then it will take two to three years to pacify the world."

Li Chongjiu said: "Yu Aiqing's concerns make sense. I cannot give Li Shimin the opportunity to retreat from Chang'an to Guanzhong."

Li Chongjiu walked to the map and pointed to the map with a bamboo stick and said, "I decided to mobilize troops to gather in the Jingxiang area. There are 20,000 naval troops, 30,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalrymen. I decided to use them to attack Hanzhong from Shangyong, attack Badong County of Li Tang, and cut off Li Shimin's retreat from Guanzhong to Bashu. What do you think?"

The next Song Jingang and Xiao Xian looked at each other, showing a look of surprise. They thought they would not have the chance to join in the fun, but they did not expect that Li Chongjiu would hand over this important task to them.

Song Jingang said: "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful plan. The Tang army in Xiangyang is a tough chewing bone. Even if we capture Xiangyang, it will not be of much help to our main force attack Guanzhong. Instead, it is better to attack Hanzhong and pose a greater threat to Chang'an."

Xiao Xian said: "I agree with General Song's opinion. Although we have been practicing in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River for a year in order to attack Xiangyang, this battle is useless. However, if we can bypass Xiangyang and seize Hanzhong, it will undoubtedly help our army's battle in Guanzhong."

At this time, when Xue Wanche heard Song Jingang and Xiao Xian took on such an important task, he couldn't help but get in the mood. Xue Wanche said, "The Jiangnan soldiers are good at water battles, but Shangyong and Hanzhong are all mountainous areas. I'm afraid the battle is not good. Our Wu Guard can support 5,000 troops and follow you to Hanzhong."

Before Xiao Xian could speak, Song Jingang refused on the side, saying, "It's not a matter of worrying, whether it's water or infantry, I, Song, are proficient in everything. Moreover, the Tang army does not have a general guard in Hanzhong. You should keep your troops and see if you can capture Tongguan!"

Xue Wanche said: "No matter whether it is Tongguan or Wuguan, you say Tongguan is dangerous, but Xiang Yu once entered, Cao Cao once entered, and Liu Yu once entered. The matter is just for people! I am more worried about Hanzhong."

Seeing that the two generals were at odds, everyone persuaded them to leave. The Zhao army has swept the world in recent years, from the generals to the soldiers, all of them are arrogant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are arrogant soldiers and powerful generals. None of the generals agree with each other, and Li Chongjiu also intends to cultivate such a competitive mechanism among the generals. How can those who are generals have no arrogance?

Li Chongjiu glanced at the generals and said, "Okay, everyone, I have a complete plan in my mind for the attack on the Tang Dynasty. You can just follow the orders!"

After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, all the generals called it all.
