"Who are you?" Yuan Xiu scoffed.

Li Yuanping was not willing to be outdone, so he introduced himself that he was a son of the royal family in Ruzhou.

"It turned out to be Li Yuanping who had been guarding Ruzhou City for an hour." As soon as Yuan Xiu said this, Baihua Palace was filled with laughter.

Li Yuanping's face suddenly turned red and his mouth and tongue were knotted.

At this time, it was Li Xilie who spoke for Yuanping: "Yuanping is now the chief secretary of the Huaining Army. Since his plan is contrary to Yuan Guanglu, you might as well listen to his principles."

After receiving Li Xilie's encouragement, Li Yuanping continued to show his plan in public:

Since ancient times, Chang'an has been known as the four gates, which are the four gates? Xiaoguan (northwest), Sanguan (southwest), Tongguan (east), and Wuguan (southeast). Now Xiaoguan and Sanguan are not in our hands, and our Huaining Army previously killed Xie Liangfu, the governor of Shangzhou, and took control of Wuguan. Therefore, the most urgent task now is to compete for Tongguan again, collect the two states and Hua states, and prevent the official army from coming from the east. As long as the natural danger of Tongguan can be blocked, the capital of the capital can be captured by our hands.

Next, the Huaining army could leave three thousand elite soldiers to guard Wu Pass. Li Xilie led the remaining 12,000 people to occupy the west Wei Bridge of Chang'an City, build a building in the old city of Xianyang, and fight and be in harmony with Fengtian City, confused the emperor who was walking in. Zhu Li continued to send spies, messengers, incite Fengxiang and Jingyuan to conquer the soldiers, and to separate their relationship with the emperor, so that the emperor could not collect the armored soldiers from these two places for his own use.

Six thousand Jingyuan soldiers who defected to Zhu Li joined Li Huaiguang's main force and advanced eastward quickly. According to the danger of Tongguan, they cut off the transport of the Yellow River and Wei River into Beijing, and blocked the return of the Shenjian generals such as Xing Junya and Liu Dexin from Duji Road (Luoyang).

After everything was arranged, Li Pushe Huaiguang could lead 20,000 main forces, plus the imperial guards collected in the capital, cross Pujin Pass again, enter the river, and meet with the troops who were originally left by Jin, Jiang, Xi and Ci, contact the three towns of Heshuo, Lulong, Wei Bo, and Hengji, concentrate their troops to destroy Masui, Hedong and Taiyuan, and then cross Taihang Mountain to attack Zhang Xiaozhong and Li Sheng from Yi and Dingzhou. As long as these two places were destroyed, Li Shi would no longer be able to do anything, and he would immediately return to the west to attack Fengtian City - in that case, even if Li Shi was not destroyed, he would probably have to flee to Xifan for refuge.

"What should I do if I spend the military expenses?" Li Xilie, who has always liked to take risks, agrees with this plan, but what he is worried about is the issue of war costs.

Li Yuanping said loudly that he would not worry, and asked the Emperor of the Tang family to abolish the many previous tyrants and miscellaneous taxes to collect the people's hearts in the capital. Guanzhong has fertile land and canals are in place, so there is no problem to raise tens of thousands of troops. In addition, Li Huaiguang returned to the army to collect two salt ponds in the county and Anyi. In this way, the military supplies are abundant, so what should I worry about?

In fact, Li Yuanping's strategy and Gao Yue's previous statements to Li Shi in Fengtian City can be said to be completely inconsistent, but his position is just a reversal.

Li Yuanping's words had just fallen, and Li Xilie must have applauded.

Li Huaiguang also mostly agreed in his heart, and in his heart, he actually didn't want to completely rebel. According to Yuanping's route, as long as he could occupy all Hezhong, Hedong, kill Ma Sui, and Li Sheng, the two bastards who framed him, it was no longer important whether he was a traitor or a loyal minister to Li Tang, because by then the emperor could not touch him at all, and he did not dare to touch him.

But Zhu Li and Li Zhongchen did not do it.

For Zhu Li, now all kinds of rebels gathered in Chang'an City. Discussing how to divide the "hushi cake" left by Li Shi escaped, it was naturally the strongest soldiers and strong horses who did whatever they wanted. Li Huaiguang was the strongest. Originally, there were 15,000 Changwu Army, and then annexed Yang. Zhang Shen made 4,000 troops. After capturing the Daming Palace, he collected thousands of imperial guards from various yamen. Li Xilie's army followed, and the number of troops recruited along Shangwuguan Road was 20,000. On his side, there were only 6,000 Jingyuan soldiers who were temporarily enlisted. Li Zhongchen, who was expelled from Huaixi Town before, was just a bare commander.

Then even if Li Yuanping’s strategy is successful, what can he get?

Not to mention, it is Zhu Tao who is now the king of Youzhou, not himself.

After thinking about it, Zhu Li said slowly: "Although Yuanping's strategy is good, it is too roundabout. In my opinion, it is the time to reform the past and make innovations. According to what Yuan Guanglu and Wang Jingyin said, support the new emperor to calm the people and the morale of the army. If you are not talented, you still have many confidants and soldiers in Jingyuan and Fengxiang. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you read the letters, Fengxiang and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left by Jingyuan will definitely echo. At that time, Fengtian City where the emperor is located will be trapped on all sides and cannot leave even if you want to leave. Now, the emperor's army has only 3,000 soldiers and horses. We will join forces to advance westward and capture them in one go. As the saying goes, capturing thieves, no, it is the speed of soldiers. Don't let Li Shi become a climate. At that time, we will die without a place to bury!"

Before, Zhu Li vowed to discuss peace with the emperor, but now he is about to kill him again.

As soon as Zhu Li said this, Yuan Xiu, Wang Chong, Li Zhongchen, Hong Jinglun and others all agreed in unison.

"We should go east and compete for Tongguan!" Li Yuanping became anxious.

"We should go west and attack Fengtian!" Yuan Xiu also fought fiercely.

Zhu Li was in the middle to mediate again. The two of you didn’t need to fight anymore. You could hand over my six thousand Jingyuan soldiers to the commander of Li Sikong (loyal minister) to compete for Tongguan in the east; the rest of the soldiers and horses were handed over to Li Huaiguang and Li Xilie to attack Fengtian in the west. Isn’t that great?

"What a wonderful thing!" Li Yuanping was furious and continued to strive: "It is a taboo to use troops in such a scattered manner, and the mere six thousand soldiers are likely not the enemy of the Shence Army who returned to the rescue."

"You little boy, dare to look down on us!" Li Zhongchen, Fang Tingzhi, Jiao Bochen and others were furious and immediately shouted, trying to draw their swords and kill the short Li Yuanping.

The Baihua Palace was suddenly noisy.

"Stop quarrel!" Li Huaiguang roared, then he gritted his teeth and asked Zhu Li in a low voice: "If the Taiwei's plan is successful, hope will be placed on Jingyuan and Fengxiang's soldiers will rebel. Huaiguang dares to ask if the Taiwei is confident?"

As soon as he asked, Zhu Li felt a sudden heart, and the first ones he thought of were Gao Yue and Wei Gao.

If these two people are on my side now, this is not a problem at all.

But the problem is that Zhu Li also understands now that he is really fooled by these two people: Wei Gao occupied Yinyang in Longzhou, Gao Yue occupied Baili in Jingzhou, and each of them has some soldiers and horses, but Xin was not on his side, and even betrayed me.

Especially Gao Yue, the turtle boy, first instigated me to come to the court to apologize. In the blink of an eye, I was placed under house arrest by the emperor in Zhaoguofang. Later, he said that the camp was a regular operation, but now it has become the destined refuge for the emperor. Wei Gao wore a pair of pants with him. Now I am in the capital and I am a traitor, but you went to Fengtian to be a loyal minister and soared.

After conquering Fengtian and Baili, I have to tear you first, then tear you apart, and then burn your bones and ashes.

Now, we must be quick and no longer delayed. Before Wei Gao and Gao Yue attacked, we let Niu Yunguang (Longzhou), Li Chulin (Fengxiang Mansion), Tian Xijian (Liangyuan) and Qiu Jingzhong (Jingzhou City) take the initiative first! As long as we kill these two, even if Duan Xiushi comes forward, the situation will not be changed.
Chapter completed!
