Having said that, Li Yuan frowned.
He was still puzzled at the moment.
In a barracks of tens of thousands of people, hundreds of people have sneaked in without even noticing it.
When you think about it, it's terrifying.
If these hundreds of people harbor ill intentions against him.
Didn't he die long ago?
Chapter 322: Big things can be expected
"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't found out yet." The general said with his head down.
"Continue to check!"
Li Yuan's face turned cold.
This must be investigated!
One day he didn't know how Li Xiao's people sneaked in, one day he couldn't feel at ease, and at night he might not even be able to sleep well.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanze was still a little uneasy, so he asked Xu Zian: "Sir, what should I do next, please let me know!"
"Hmm..." Xu Zian thought for a while, and then said, "It's actually quite simple."
"Why is it so simple? This Li Xiao looks like a ghost, how could he really send troops to attack Qinzhou?" Li Yuanze asked with a puzzled expression.
"If he doesn't go, then can't Qinzhou come over?" Xu Zian said slowly, "Do you still remember what Li Xiao did?"
"You mean..."
Li Yuan's pupils trembled.
"There is no reason, just creating a reason." Xu Zian smiled faintly.
"My lord, immediately send someone to harass Qinzhou's coastal border, disguise the warship, and then hold up the Qiongzhou flag, isn't that all right?"
"That's right! Since he, Li Xiao, can frame me, so can I. It's a good plan, sir!" Li Yuanze slapped his hands with surprise on his face.
After thinking about it, Xu Zian continued: "The details need to be improved. For example, we can send people to Qinzhou to spread rumors secretly, so as to further provoke the relationship between Qiongzhou and Qinzhou."
After a pause, he went on to say: "Also, those who attack the coast of Qinzhou must not stay for long, and they will retreat with one blow."
"Um……"
"Also, the rumors spread must also include that Leizhou was also invaded by Qiongzhou. This is more true, and Qinzhou will not suspect me, Leizhou."
"Before that, the prince needs to find a reason to send supplies and war horses to the Ning family in Qinzhou." Xu Zian said slowly.
"You mean..."
Li Yuan's eyes widened immediately, and he said excitedly: "When the time comes, Li Xiao will get the supplies, so he can just pretend that Li Xiao has snatched the supplies that were supposed to be sent to Qinzhou, and Li Xiao will be It can be said that people from Qinzhou came to rob him of the supplies!"
"That's right, my lord is very intelligent, and he can understand everything." A glint of praise flashed in Xu Zian's eyes.
"Wonderful!"
Li Yuan stood up abruptly, with a look of excitement on his face.
"One piece of supplies can bring Qinzhou and Li Xiao to the opposite side. When the time comes and the disturbance of Qinzhou's coastal borders is added, how can Qinzhou stand by and watch under the new and old hatred?"
"At that time, Qinzhou will definitely send troops to Qiongzhou, and I, Leizhou, can wait for their war to break out, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
"Hehe, that's what it means." Xu Zian laughed.
"Sir, you deserve to be called Crouching Dragon in this world. Such a complicated situation becomes so simple with you. With Mr. assisting me, great things can be expected!"
Li Yuan looked at Xu Zian gratefully.
Xu Zian shook his head slightly, with a humble expression on his face: "My lord praised me, and this old man is just a bystander. If you wait for my lord to calm down, I can still figure it out. It's just a matter of time."
Li Yuan said thoughtfully: "Sir, there is no need to be humble. This strategy is excellent, but I think it can be improved."
"If this plan continues, Qinzhou will at most send troops to Qiongzhou for revenge. Wouldn't it be better if we also send people disguised as Qinzhou soldiers to harass Qiongzhou's coastal border?"
"Absolutely not!"
Xu Zian hurriedly said: "My lord, have you forgotten? How did Lin Yang fall into Li Xiao's hands? You send people to harass Qiongzhou. If there are fewer people, it will not be effective. If there are too many people, I am afraid that no one will be able to come back." gone."
"It seems to be too..." Li Yuanze frowned suddenly, with deep confusion in his eyes, "This Qiongzhou, what kind of dragon's pool and tiger's den? Is it so powerful?"
Xu Zian said in a deep voice: "I don't know if it's a dragon pond or a tiger's den, but it must not be underestimated. Therefore, it is necessary for the Ning family in Qinzhou to test Li Xiao's details."
"However, the prince does not have to be too afraid of Qiongzhou. Even though Li Xiao is a talented person, he has only been in Qiongzhou for three years. It is already the limit to achieve what he is today."
"That's right. If my [-]-strong army came out, it wouldn't be a big problem to capture Qiongzhou, but there would be heavy casualties. But now with Mr.'s plan, this can be completely avoided."
"It's not too late, I'll send someone to execute according to the master's plan!"
Li Yuanze stood up abruptly and left in a hurry.
……
the other side.
Li Xiao and Ye Tianchen returned to the camp.
With the anti-reconnaissance capabilities of the Assassin Battalion and the Scout Battalion, there is no concern that Li Yuanze will be able to spy on their whereabouts.
All the way was safe and sound, Li Xiao walked into his camp.
At this time, someone came to report.
"Your Highness, an urgent report from Qiongzhou!"
The guard handed over a secret letter.
Li Xiao's heart moved, he took it apart and looked at it.
Looking at it, Li Xiao's face gradually darkened.
"Your Highness, what happened? Is everything in Qiongzhou stable recently?" Li Junxian asked in bewilderment.
"It's not Qiongzhou, but the war in the north, something big happened!"
Li Xiao sighed, and threw the secret document to Li Junxian: "You can see for yourself!"
The news reached Qiongzhou yesterday, but he happened to bring someone to Leizhou, so he missed the best time, and only found out today.
After Li Junxian took the secret document and read it, he also showed shock on his face.
"Qizhou actually fell, how is this possible?"
"Qizhou and Jizhou are at the corner of each other. How can the tens of thousands of Dongying people break through Qizhou's defense?"
Li Junxian had deep puzzlement in his eyes.
Li Xiao didn't answer, and the line of words he just saw kept reappearing in his mind——
Li Changge, the guard of Qizhou, disappeared after the city was broken, and his whereabouts are unknown. Now Commander Xue is leading the flying cavalry company to look around.
Li Changge is his fiancee.
Although the two of them are not yet in love with each other, they can still be regarded as friends.
He still remembered that in the court hall, all the officials colluded and denounced him.
No one dared to say "no" at that time.
Only Li Changge, trespassing on the imperial palace, risked the crime of disrespect, but still pleaded for him.
Although the result of his being exiled to Qiongzhou has not been changed, Li Changge is undoubtedly one of the few people who are willing to help him.
If Li Changge is in danger, he can't stand by and watch.
"Uncle Li, send an order to Xue Rengui, telling him to find Li Changge, to see the man if he is alive, and the corpse if he is dead!" Li Xiao said with a gloomy expression.
"Yes!"
Li Junxian took the order immediately, and then comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. If Li Changge's body is not found, it proves that she is still alive. As long as she is alive, there is still a chance."
"I understand. Also, let me find out why Qizhou fell? I always feel that it is not that simple. With Li Changge's strength, Qizhou should not be lost." Li Xiao said with a frown.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Jun took the order to retreat.
Li Xiao was the only one left in the camp. He looked at the map on the table and wondered what he was thinking.
Not long after, Li Junxian arranged things and made money again.
Li Xiao got up and looked at Li Junxian with a serious face: "Uncle Li, once Qizhou is broken, the world will be in chaos."
Upon hearing this, Li Junxian immediately knelt down on one knee, and said with a sincere face: "Your Majesty begs Your Highness to send troops to the north. If you wait any longer, the Tang Dynasty will be over!"
Chapter 323: Future Plans
Li Junxian looked at Li Xiao expectantly.
With the current situation of Datang, how could he not see clearly?
Once Qizhou is broken, one of the three northern gates has been opened.
Jizhou faced the 20 Turkic army, and it was difficult to hold on for too long.
At that time, the northern gate of the Tang Dynasty will be opened wide, and the Turks and Dongying will move southward without any hindrance.
Datang Jiangshan, half gone.
To make matters worse, the imperial court not only has to face the pressure of two major enemy countries.
Within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, countless forces are intricately intertwined.
At this juncture, it is hard to guarantee that they will not raise their troops to stand on their own, arm themselves and separate themselves, and take a share of this troubled world.
Lin Yang and Li Yuanze are the best examples.
If there is no war in the Tang Dynasty, how dare they make trouble?
In the past, there was pressure from the imperial court, so nothing happened.
But now that the imperial court is too busy to take care of themselves, they should be ready to move.
Thinking about it carefully, Datang's current situation is already in jeopardy.
Therefore, Li Junxian was very anxious at this time.
Li Xiao laughed at himself: "In what name are you sending troops? I'm just a prince who was dispatched to the border. Where did the soldiers come from? How dare I have soldiers?"
The number of troops under the vassal kings outside will be controlled by the imperial court.
The sudden appearance of so many soldiers and horses is tantamount to treason.
"Yes, Datang owes His Highness a lot, but does His Highness just have the heart to watch Datang's foundation be destroyed?"
"I mean, the time has not come." Li Xiao shook his head lightly, with a helpless expression on his face.
"At this moment when troops are dispatched to the north, what do the vassals of various places think? What will the court think? They will only think that I am leaving for revenge."
"Or in order to reassure the imperial court, do I want to hand over all my three years of hard work to the imperial court? Do you want the imperial court to control the life and death of my Qiongzhou soldiers?"
This is simply an endless loop.
The only way to solve it is for Li Xiao to voluntarily relinquish control of Qiongzhou soldiers and send them to the imperial court.
But how could Li Xiao agree?
After Li Junxian heard this, he also understood what Li Xiao meant, and was speechless for a while.
"I'd better write an excerpt and see what the emperor's attitude is."
Li Xiao reluctantly picked up the paper and pen.
First of all, he made it clear to Li Er that he had an army of [-] on his side, and he could send his troops northward to support Datang.
But the premise is that the imperial court cannot interfere with his army, it must be controlled by himself, and the route of travel is also determined by him.
After finishing writing, Li Xiao himself did not report any hope.
This request seems to be nothing, but for the imperial court, it is very excessive.
Because in the eyes of the imperial court, Li Xiao was expelled from the capital three years ago, so he must have resentment.
