Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 2168: The soldiers of the government gathered in the capital, and the grassland chang

Hearing Lin Jiang say that these two men were caught, Li Junxian couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He quickly came to the two unkempt men and looked at them.

Lin Jiang followed behind him and replied: "These two people were originally hiding not far from Longshan Manor. According to Wang Kui's account, the killers who covered his escape took away all their gold and silver, leaving them with nothing." Wen, after being hungry for two days, couldn’t help but go out to look for food, and that’s when he was discovered by his brothers!”

I saw the disheveled Wang Kui, who seemed to have aged more than ten years. He was slumped on the ground and kept muttering: "A bunch of immature wolf cubs dare to betray me, **** it! All deserve to die..."

The other man's eyes were dull and his face was pale. He was like a walking zombie with his arms clasped by two sergeants. He stood motionless and silent. It was Wang Xinyuan! Completely different from the high-spirited person a few days ago!

In fact, it is understandable that he looks like this now. Remember that he was imprisoned in the ancestral land of the Wang family in Chang'an because he offended Li Zexuan and was not allowed to go out for the rest of his life. Not long ago, he planned hard and finally escaped from the prison and regained his freedom. However, He was not reconciled. He wanted to stand out and take revenge, so he used the Wang family's intelligence network to find Zhao Deyan...

He thought that by riding on Zhao Deyan's boat, he could make a comeback and trample the entire Wang family and Li Zexuan under his feet, but he didn't expect that his step would cause him to fall into an abyss!

"Haha~! These two fish that slipped through the net were finally found!"

After hearing Lin Jiang's report, Li Tai's face turned cold and he walked quickly to Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan. Then he stared at Wang Xinyuan's lifeless face and said bitterly:

"The king was held hostage this time, and you can be considered as a "credit" to a certain extent. You, a **** who has forgotten his ancestors, dared to collude with the Turks to murder my king and Yanhuang Academy. In addition, last year you tried to murder the mountain chief. Let’s settle all the old and new grudges about my wife today!”

Having said this, he turned to look at Li Junxian and said viciously: "General Li, I don't care what you do with other people, but this guy, I want him to be tortured and his life worse than death. Is it possible for you to do it?" "

As the commander of a hundred cavalry, Li Junxian didn't have to listen to Li Chengqian's orders, let alone Li Tai. In the entire Tang Dynasty, he only had to obey Li Er's orders. But to him, Wang Xinyuan is just a small figure, not critical to the overall situation. He doesn't mind fulfilling Li Tai's small wish. What's more, Baiqi also lost a lot of troops in the Taiyuan rescue operation. , Li Junxian also hated Wang Xinyuan who was involved.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Baiqi has talents who are specially responsible for interrogation and torture. I will continue to give orders. I will definitely make this guy experience all kinds of punishments from Baiqi, and I will never let him die easily!"

"Kill me! Kill me if you dare!"

After hearing this, Wang Xinyuan, whose eyes were dull, suddenly looked like crazy. He twisted his body hard, trying to break away from the sergeant beside him, and roared at Li Tai and Li Junxian.

"Hmph! You are a scumbag, it will be easier to kill you!"

Being held hostage and almost hanging on by a thread, this incident somewhat aroused the ferocity in Li Tai. He stepped forward and gave Wang Xinyuan a slap in the face, then waved his hand at Li Junxian and said:

"I'll leave it to General Li to arrange the affairs of Taiyuan City. I will take the people from Yanhuang Academy to do business!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Li Junxian bowed and clasped his fists.

With the arrests of Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui, the entire "Taiyuan rape" incident has come to a perfect end. Everything has been settled. No one can stop the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy from building a telegraph relay station in Taiyuan City!

Peace gradually returned to Taiyuan City. The martial law in the city was lifted, the four city gates were reopened, and people could finally enter and exit Taiyuan City freely.

Fang Gongteng of Bingzhou Camp is also very busy at the moment. He has to arrange a security team to protect the safety of Yanhuang Academy and the group of people as well as the telegraph relay station that will be built anytime and anywhere. Although the Wolf Guard dark units in the city have been wiped out, he has eaten Fang Gongteng, who suffered a loss, did not dare to take it lightly;

On the other hand, Fang Gongteng was also seizing the time to mobilize elites from the Bingzhou camp and prepare to leave for Chang'an to participate in pre-war training.

A few days ago, the imperial court issued a conscription order to recruit a total of 150,000 elite soldiers from various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an to participate in training. The Ministry of War allocated corresponding recruitment quotas based on the strength of each state and county. Taiyuan was the largest The largest city in the northern Tang Dynasty and the last barrier to the north of Chang'an City, Zichong Mansion had many generals and superior strength. The Ministry of War allocated 20,000 conscription quotas to Taiyuan Mansion.

The imperial court's conscription order has been issued for some time. The elite soldiers recruited from some states and counties far away from Chang'an City have already arrived in Chang'an City. Taiyuan is one to two hundred miles away from Chang'an. It stands to reason that Taiyuan's elite soldiers are We should have arrived in Chang'an a long time ago, but because the King of Wei was kidnapped a few days ago, the city was noisy and the city gates were closed. Under such circumstances, the Taiyuan government naturally did not have the energy to organize the selection of elite soldiers.

Now that Taiyuan City has been calmed down, Fang Gongteng did not dare to delay for a moment. If he delayed any longer, I am afraid that the elite soldiers from Taiyuan would be the last to arrive in Chang'an!

………………

"Your Majesty, Yunzhou 800 Miles is urgent~!"

At noon, Li Er came down from the morning court and was having lunch at Queen Changsun's place in the Xiyuan of the Imperial Palace. At this time, Zhao Song walked in quickly, came to Li Er's side, and bowed to Li Er.

"Huh~? Bring it here!"

Li Er's eyes flashed, he put down his bowls and chopsticks, and said in a deep voice.

After that, Li Er took the letter directly from Zhao Song, tore open the envelope and read it immediately.

Yunzhou, the border gate of the Tang Dynasty, is now at the critical moment when a national war is about to break out between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Any piece of information sent from Yunzhou is worthy of Li Er's attention, let alone eight hundred miles of expediting.

There was silence in the Lizheng Palace. Queen Changsun, Zhao Song and others all looked at Li Er nervously, trying to tell from the latter's expression whether the eight-hundred-mile expedited letter was good news or bad news.

"Okay! Okay!"

Queen Changsun and Zhao Song didn't have to wait long. Li Er stood up and shouted, Long Yan was delighted and laughed loudly.

"Why is Your Majesty so excited?"

Queen Changsun asked curiously.

Li Er handed the letter in his hand to Queen Changsun and said:

"News came from Su Dingfang. Yesterday, Tuli led 100,000 troops and successfully escaped from the siege of Jieli's army and joined the Yunzhou border army! According to Tuli, at this time, rumors were spreading in the grassland because of frost in midsummer. The Leshi tribe has decided to rebel against Jieli, and Tuli's tribe has the opportunity to escape from the grassland! Tang Jian also returned to the Tang Dynasty with Tuli's team!"

After hearing this, everyone was shocked. Although Empress Changsun had never been involved in military affairs, she also knew that the chaos in the grassland was great news for the Tang Dynasty.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty as I am, and congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"

Empress Changsun glanced at the contents of the letter with her beautiful eyes, and then said to Li Erfu with a smile.

"Ha ha!"

Li Er laughed loudly and said:

"The plan that Li Zexuan planned to divide the Turks now seems to have been more than half successful. A great chaos will break out in the grassland. As far as I know, there are ten Tiele tribes with millions of people. They have united to rebel against Jieli. Even if they cannot completely Victory would be enough to injure Jieli. As the saying goes, the fisherman wins when a snipe and a clam fight. We in the Tang Dynasty now have enough time to strengthen our troops. We will kill Jieli and Tiele when both are injured. Go to the grassland and avenge your shame!"

Since the Weishui Alliance, Li Er has always wanted to attack the grassland and kill Jie Li. However, the Turks are too powerful. Even if Li Er hates Jie Li in his heart, he can only endure it. Humiliated, slowly accumulate strength in order to counterattack the grassland!

Now that civil strife has broken out in the grassland, Jieli and Tiele's ten tribes are about to fall into a melee. This allows Li Er to see the opportunity to completely defeat Jieli. How can this not make him excited?

"Zhao Song, please immediately send word to Duke Zhao, Duke Xing, and Duke Wei to enter the palace!"

In addition to being excited, Li Er wanted to share this joy with his ministers Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing, and discuss with these three people how to use this opportunity to expand the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks as much as possible. time advantage.

"yes!"

Zhao Song took the order and left.

About half an hour later, Li Er, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jingjunchen gathered in Ganlu Hall. After learning that Tang Jian had successfully implemented a plan to divide the Turks and led Tuli and his 100,000 tribesmen to break out of the encirclement. Behind the grassland, Changsun Wuji and the other three were all very excited.

Changsun Wuji even believed very radically that now that ten Tiele tribes had united to rebel against Jieli, the grassland would soon fall into a melee. This was a good time to confuse the situation and further weaken Jieli's strength. He suggested that the court should send a team of A vanguard army went deep into the grassland to assist Tiele's ten tribes in resisting Jieli!

Fang Xuanling did not express an opinion on this. Although he also believed that the current moment was a God-given opportunity for the Tang Dynasty, he felt that it was not a good time for the Tang army to go deep into the grasslands. The Tang Dynasty was not fully prepared for this national war. .

As Minister of War, Li Jing was opposed to Changsun Wuji's suggestion. He believed that the Tang Dynasty currently knew very little about the situation in the grasslands, and rashly sending troops deep into the grassland would not only be unhelpful to the overall situation, but would also most likely result in the loss of this army in vain. .

In addition, although Tiele's ten tribes claimed to have millions of troops, Li Jing did not believe that these ten coalition forces could cause fatal harm to Jieli. Jieli had dominated the grassland for many years. During the world turmoil in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, Li Jing and Jieli Having fought many times, he knows Jie Li's strength better than Changsun Wuji!

In Li Jing's view, Jieli is a male lion on the grassland, and Tiele's ten wolves are at most ten wolves, and these ten wolves may not be united. Facing these ten wolves, the lion may be injured, but one An injured lion is undoubtedly more ferocious and aggressive!

At this time, the Tang Dynasty sent a lone army deep into the grassland, which was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth!

Moreover, Changsun Wuji's plan was completely too idealistic in Li Jing's view, because although the Ten Tiele tribes were determined to rebel against Jieli, these tribes may not necessarily have their hearts set on the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty court sent troops deep into the grasslands to assist in the battle. The other party may not appreciate it, and may even stab Datang at a critical moment!

The risks are too great!

Although Li Jing had kept a low profile in the court in the past two years and never made enemies, Changsun Wuji's plan was related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, he had to stand up and clearly oppose it!

In a battle between two armies, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Regarding the internal intelligence of the grassland, Datang currently has very little information. Li Jing believes that only if Datang is fully prepared and has the internal intelligence of the grassland. After a thorough understanding, it is time for Datang to send troops deep into the grassland!

Prior to this, any act of sending troops in-depth would most likely weaken Datang's strength!

In the Manlu Hall, Li Er was silent for a long time, and then said: "I will think about sending troops carefully. My three dear friends, please go back first!"

There is no doubt that Changsun Wuji's plan is very attractive to Li Er. After all, since the Weishui Alliance, Li Er has always wanted to avenge his shame. Although Changsun Wuji's plan involves high risks, once it succeeds, the benefits will be huge!

However, the opinions of Li Jing, the "Military God of the Tang Dynasty" could not be ignored by Li Er. Now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was not as good as that of the Turks. If the Tang Dynasty loses troops and generals due to rashness, the chances of the Tang Dynasty winning against the Turks will be even lower!

Throughout the afternoon~www.readwn.com~ Li Er was thinking about this matter.

"Report~! Your Majesty, Yunzhou 800 Miles is urgent~!"

In the evening, Li Er had already had dinner, but due to the long days and short nights in this season, it was not completely dark at this time. He came to Ganlu Hall to handle the government affairs that had not been completed during the day. Not long after, a chamberlain came to the door hurriedly. He walked in and bowed to Li Er.

"What? Hurry, bring it up!"

Li Er suddenly raised his eyebrows. At noon, he had just received Su Dingfang's 800-mile express letter from Yunzhou. Only half a day later, another 800-mile express letter came from Yunzhou. Could it be that What happened at the border?

Zhao Song quickly took away the letter from the waiter and presented it to Li Er. Li Er took it with one hand, quickly tore open the envelope and read it.

"Shua~!"

In just a few breaths, Li Er had already read the contents of the letter. His expression changed, he stood up suddenly, looked at Zhao Song and said in a deep voice: "Quickly inform Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing to enter the palace! "

He was called by his first name, rather than by official position or title. From this, it can be seen that the content of the letter was very urgent, and even Li Er felt anxious!

"yes!"

Zhao Song looked solemn and was about to take the order and leave.

"etc…"

But Li Er suddenly thought of something. He stopped Zhao Song and ordered again: "Send someone to the Xuanjia Army camp and summon Li Zexuan into the palace!"

"Yes...I will go there myself!"

Zhao Song's expression changed. Although he didn't know why Li Er summoned Li Zexuan at this time, he still bowed and accepted the order.

Seeing that Li Er had no other instructions, Zhao Song left the Ganlu Palace and arranged for people to go to the homes of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing to deliver the order. As for Li Zexuan, since the Xuanjia Army camp was far away from the palace, In order to rush for time, Zhao Song planned to go there in person.
