When Li Ze and Gongsun Changming arrived at the Huaide Hall, which belongs to the Military Commission of Tai Chi Palace, You Yong and a group of military commission generals were already waiting.

The hall was brightly lit, and the several braziers just lit made the room still filled with a strong smell of fireworks. Before the fire could start, the hall seemed a little cold, but at this time, it was obvious that no one paid attention to this.

More than a dozen troops were busy surrounding a huge sand table. Around them, there were a large number of wooden models. At this moment, they were forming these models in the sand table.

When they looked closer, they formed a model of the junction of Jiangxi and Hunan.

There are many such sand table models in the warehouse of the Military Commission, almost covering the entire Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty’s inner guards who travel around the world will re-survey the local terrain, depict it into a picture, and then send it back to the Tang Dynasty to make models.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Lin had already informed Xiang Youyong and others about the Xiangzhen coup received by the Inner Guard about the Xiangzhen coup in Guangzhou City and Qian Shouyi of Hongzhou City who had bloodshed his father's old subordinates and killed Xiang Jun.

"The enemy's internal strife is a good thing for us!" You Yong's first reaction was very happy. "I think there is still a lot to do with Ren Xiaonian's military action plan that I received today. If Xiangtan can be really taken down, it will inevitably bring beneficial and gratifying changes to the current confrontation of Yiyang front."

Li Ze smiled faintly and looked at You Yong and said, "General You, Shi Zhuang confronted Ding Sheng on the front line of Yiyang because we can't beat them?"

You Yong was stunned.

Of course it’s not that I can’t win, but that the Northern Tang army doesn’t want to fight now.

He suddenly reacted, since this is the case, what is the significance of Ren Xiaonian's attempt to capture Xiangtan and force Yiyang to withdraw troops to return to aid?

While speaking, the sand table over there had been splicing. Li Ze walked to the edge of the sand table and stared at the sand table for a long time.

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" You Yong walked to Li Ze and asked in confusion.

"Ren Xiaonian's troops!" Li Ze knocked on the sand table. "According to the report sent by Ren Xiaonian, his 10,000 troops were almost all dispatched. The Yu Xiaowen Department behind him would take at least ten days to fill this gap, and many things could happen in ten days."

"Are you worried about Qian Shouyi?" You Yong said: "He just slaughtered Hongzhou and cleaned up his father's subordinates. At this moment, I'm afraid that the situation is being stabilized. Where can I spare my energy to do this?"

"I'm just talking about a possibility!" Li Ze said: "From Xiang Zhen's incident this time, it is obvious that he has been planning for a long time. Then, Qian Shouyi from Hongzhou may not have no plan. Look, if Qian Shouyi suddenly sent troops to capture Yichun at this time, he would cut off the retreat of Ren Xiaonian's troops."

You Yong looked at the position of Yichun on the sand table and disagreed: "Your Majesty, I don't think Qian Shouyi has the courage to block Ren Xiaonian's retreat, because this means that he is likely to be attacked by counterattack from Ren Xiaonian and Yu Xiaowen's reinforcements. Can Qian Shouyi block our attack from both directions?"

"What if there is only one direction? What if there is only one Yu Xiaowen?" Li Ze took a deep breath and said, "Now in this season, with the local transportation conditions in Jiangxi, even if Yu Xiaowen's troops arrived in Yichun at the fastest speed in ten days, how much heavy equipment can they bring? I dare say that they can't bring a single artillery."

Hearing Li Ze say this, You Yong took a breath: "Your Majesty, are you saying that Ren Xiaonian's 10,000 troops may have the ability to return to the army to counterattack?"

"If he encountered a trap in Zhuzhou, Xiangtan and other places," Li Ze said slowly.

"Impossible!" You Yong said decisively: "From the information we have received so far, there is no abnormal movement in Hunan. Their elite troops are all concentrated on the Yiyang line. There are only 20,000 Hunan troops in Xiangtan, Changsha, Zhuzhou and other places. With these 20,000 troops, I want to limit Ren Xiaonian's 10,000 troops. I don't think there is such a possibility?"

Li Ze ignored You Yong, but picked up a few flags from the table and inserted them on the sand table.

"Is this the Hunan army from Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, Changsha and other places?" You Yong tilted his head and looked at the flags.

Li Ze picked up another few red faces and inserted them between Zhuzhou and Xiangtan. This time You Yong understood that these red flags should represent Ren Xiaonian's troops.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xinda's troops were the first to attack Zhuzhou. By the time Ren Xiaonian entered Zhuzhou, the Hunan Army in Zhuzhou should have suffered heavy losses and it is impossible for him to maintain the establishment." You Yong couldn't help but say.

Li Ze pondered for a moment, picked up a few yellow flags, but this time it was suddenly inserted into the territory of Zhuzhou.

You Yong jumped up immediately: "Whose unit belongs to this force? Did it fall from the sky?"

Gongsun Changming, who was on the other side, understood and said quietly: "This yellow flag is probably Liu Xinda's."

You Yong jumped up immediately.

Li Ze glanced at him and said, "I guess the enemy is Yikuan. I just have this guess and there is no evidence. But this is not impossible, Mr. Gongsun, do you think so?"

Gongsun Changming nodded: "It is indeed possible. Liu Xinda was forced to walk south by us. It is impossible to say that this person does not hate us in his heart. If he had the opportunity to cheat us, he would never miss such an opportunity. After all, from now on, he will stay away from our sight. In his opinion, this is the sky high that birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish swim. Since we can't do anything to him, why don't he vent his hatred?"

You Yong said in a trembling voice: "In this way, Liu Xinda's attack on Zhuzhou is very likely a game he did with Hunan?"

Li Ze pressed the sand table with both hands and said, "I guess so, based on one premise, that is, Xiang Zhen has connected Jiangxi, Hunan and other places, and can mobilize the troops of these two places. Considering that Qian Hongyi has successfully taken power in Jiangxi and Ding Taiyi is trapped in Guangzhou City, this possibility is not impossible. Once such a situation is formed, then he will most likely take advantage of this opportunity to swallow Ren Xiaonian's troops in one bite."

"Xiang Zhen is afraid that he can't wait to drink Liu Xinda's flesh and sleep with Liu Xinda's skin. Can he trust Liu Xinda in such a thing?" You Yong asked back.

"How could a person like Xiang Zhen give up his immediate interests because of past grievances?" Li Ze shook his head.

"For Ren Xiaonian's troops, the most dangerous thing is not the Hunan army, nor the Jiangxi Qian Hongyi behind them, but it is Liu Xinda's troops! No matter how careless Ren Xiaonian is, he will not relax his vigilance against these two troops." Gongsun Changming said: "Because Ren Xiaonian must be like you, and thinks that Liu Xinda and Xiang Zhen are no longer able to reconcile."

"If Ren Xiaonian had taken Zhuzhou and then attacked Xiangtan, and at this time, Liu Xinda's troops suddenly bite, kill one and attacked Zhuzhou, Ren Xiaonian's troops would inevitably lose all their logistics support, and the entire army would be exposed to the ice and snow. At this time, the Hunan army that had been prepared for a long time would inevitably pounce on it." Li Ze said: "No matter how strong our army's combat effectiveness is, in such weather, without any supply, without understanding the local terrain and climate, and not adapting to the situation, we are afraid that a big defeat will inevitably be inevitable."

You Yong shuddered, "But it's too late to stop it now. Even if we speed up to 800 miles and send people day and night, we can't catch up in time."

"I'm afraid that Ren Xiaonian has already started to act now." Li Ze sighed. "I just hope that all my guesses are wrong now. Even if it is true, only part of them is true. If Ren Xiaonian is facing the Hunan army in Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, then he gritted his teeth and paid a certain price to take down Xiangtan. Maybe he could still stick to the fact that Yu Xiaowen's troops had Li Mi's troops connected with Yichun to support him. If the Hunan army would do anything to dispatch troops from Yiyang to help in advance, then he would be in trouble."

You Yong suddenly clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, we should make the necessary response."

Li Ze turned around, left the sand table, walked into the hall, was silent for a moment, and said, "Of course we have to respond. General You, no matter whether you can catch up or not, you still have to do what you should do. Li Mi doesn't need to say much about it. Once Yichun is cut off, she naturally knows that Ren Xiaonian has great trouble and will definitely come out in full swing. Eight hundred miles are urgently given to Shi Zhuang. Once the above-mentioned love department appears, his department will immediately attack the entire line and take Yiyang for me."

"yes!"

"If we have such heavy losses, then we must make some compensation!" Li Ze said.

"I'll do it right now!" You Yong didn't want to wait any longer, so he bowed to Li Ze, turned around and walked out. Behind him, a group of military committee personnel followed him.

Only Li Ze, Gongsun Changming and Lu Lin were left in the hall.

"Your Majesty, if necessary, you can use Tengjian, or bring a way out to Ren Xiaonian's troops." Gongsun Changming said softly.

"I'm worried that this matter is so confidential. Liu Xinda will not trust anyone at all. The mystery is revealed only when the matter is about to come. At this time, what else can Tengjian do? What's more, even if your personnel set out now, there is no time to inform Tengjian. The troops brought by Tengjian are Liu Xinda's core subordinates. How many people can Tengjian really master? If we don't get any instructions from us, I'm afraid Tengjian won't do anything."

Gongsun Changming sighed: "I hope we are just a false alarm. Your Majesty, in fact, there is no wonder the frontline soldiers in this matter. They are not as comprehensive as us. They only know that there is a major change in Jiangxi, but they do not know that there is a big problem in Guangzhou. Under such circumstances, it is understandable to make a misjudgment."
