Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 2168: The soldiers of the government gathered in the capital, and the grassland changed dramatically!
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. They I was penniless and hungry for two days. I couldn’t help but go out to look for food, and that’s when I was discovered by my 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 is 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. Freedom, but he was not willing to do so. 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 taking 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 make him fall into an abyss!
"Ha~! 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:
"My king was kidnapped 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 me and Yanhuang Academy. In addition, last year you wanted to For the murder of the mountain chief’s wife, let’s settle the old and new grudges together today!”
Speaking of 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 suffer all kinds of torture and make life worse than death. You may Can it be done?"
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 responsible for interrogation and torture. I will continue to give instructions. I will definitely make this guy suffer all kinds of punishments from Baiqi, and I will never let him die easily!"
"Kill me! Kill me if you dare!"
Hearing this, Wang Xinyuan, who was blind-eyed, suddenly looked 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 settled. No one can stop the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy from building a telegraph relay station in Taiyuan City!
Calm has gradually returned to Taiyuan City. The martial law in the city has been lifted, the four city gates have been reopened, and people can 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 is about to be built anytime and anywhere. Although the Wolf Guard secret units in the city have been wiped out, But Fang Gongteng, who had suffered a loss once, 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. As the largest city in the north of the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan was also the last barrier to the north of Chang'an City. The Zichong Mansion had many generals and superior strength. The Ministry of War allocated 20,000 conscription quotas to Taiyuan Mansion.
The imperial court's recruitment order has been issued for some time. Some of the elite soldiers recruited from some states and counties far away from Chang'an City have arrived in Chang'an City. Taiyuan and Chang'an are one or two hundred miles apart. It stands to reason that Taiyuan's The elite government soldiers should have arrived in Chang'an long 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 and select the elite government soldiers. matter.
Now that the city of Taiyuan has been pacified, Fang Gongteng does not dare to delay for a moment. If the delay continues, I am afraid that the elite soldiers from Taiyuan will be the last to arrive in Chang'an!

"Your Majesty, Yunzhou Babaili 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 saying 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 expedited work. .
There was no sound 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 this eight-hundred-mile expedited letter was good news or bad news. information.
"Okay! Okay!"
Prince Changsun and Zhao Song didn't have to wait for 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, there were rumors about the frost in the grassland at this time. Since then, the ten tribes of Tiele have decided to rebel against Jieli, and Tuli's troops have 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.
"I congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate 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.
"Haha!"
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 tribesmen. They have united to rebel against Jieli. Even if we can't completely win, it will be enough to make Jieli injured. As the saying goes, the fisherman wins when the snipe and the clam fight. We, the Tang Dynasty, now have enough time to strengthen our troops and wait until both Jieli and Tiele's ten tribes are defeated. , then he went to the grassland to avenge his 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. Accept this humiliation and 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, immediately tell 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 Zhang Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing, and discuss with these three people how to use this opportunity to expand the Tang Dynasty as much as possible. advantages over the Turks.
"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 troops After everyone broke out of the grassland, Changsun Wuji and the other three were all excited.
Changsun Wuji even believed very radically that now that ten Tiele tribes have united to rebel against Jieli, the grassland will soon fall into a melee. This is a good time to muddy the situation and further weaken Jieli's strength. He suggested to the court A vanguard army should be sent deep into the grasslands to assist Tiele's ten tribes in resisting Jieli!
Fang Xuanling did not express an opinion on this. Although he also believed that the present 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 had not yet prepared for this national war. Totally ready.
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 grassland, 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 land in vain. An army.
In addition, although the Ten Tribes of Tiele claimed to have millions of troops, Li Jing did not believe that these ten coalition forces could cause fatal harm to Jieli. Having fought against Jie Li 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 an injured male 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!
Furthermore, Changsun Wuji's plan seemed to Li Jing to be too idealistic, because although the Ten Tiele tribes were determined to rebel against Jieli, these tribes did not necessarily want to go to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty court sent troops deep into the grasslands. If you assist in combat, the other party may not appreciate it, and may even stab Datang at a critical moment!
The risks are too great!
Although Li Jing 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. Datang currently has very little information about the interior of the grassland. Li Jing believes that only if Datang is fully prepared and has knowledge of the interior of the grassland After the intelligence is in-depth understood, it is time for Datang to send troops deep into the grassland!
Prior to this, any action of sending troops in-depth is very likely to weaken the strength of the Tang Dynasty!
In the Ganlu Hall, Li Er was silent for a long time, and then said: "I will think carefully about sending troops. 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" cannot be ignored by Li Er. Now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is 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. !
The whole afternoon~IndoMTL.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 Manlu Hall to handle the government affairs that had not been completed during the day. Not long after, a chamberlain He hurriedly 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. Urgent, could something happen at the border?
Zhao Song quickly took away the letter from the servant 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 send the message to Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing." Enter the palace!"
Calling him by his first name instead of his official position or title, it can be seen that the content of the letter is very urgent, and even Li Er felt anxious!
"Yes!"
Zhao Song looked solemn and was about to take the order and leave.
"Wait..."
But Li Er suddenly thought of something. He called 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, the Xuanjia Army camp was far away from the palace. It was far away. In order to hurry up, Zhao Song planned to go there in person.
