Chapter 196 Self-defeating?
Luo Shixin whispered to Pingyang, thinking of Li Jing's letter that day. In the letter, it analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us, and analyzed in detail what situation would happen if Fu Gongyu rebelled. According to Li Jing's thought that Fu Gongyu would not fight for the power of the world with the Tang Dynasty, but would occupy land and be king. He used the natural dangers of Jianghuai and the unique living conditions in Jiangnan to live in a corner.
Li Jing was in Jiangnan. He knew the situation in Jiangnan well and also noticed Fu Gongyu's ambitions. He found that when Fu Gongyu was responsible for the government affairs of Jianghuai, he attached great importance to the three places of Shitou City Danyang, Dangtu and Qinglin. While developing with all his heart, he also consolidated the city defense and hoarded food and grass nearby.
Ordinary people cannot detect the reason. As the most outstanding military commander in contemporary times, Li Jing's military skills are unparalleled, and he can see some tricks. Danyang also said that Danyang is located in the Yangtze River Delta in ancient times, and the rivers in the territory are crisscrossed and the water and land transportation is convenient. Although it is not as good as Yangzhou, it can be regarded as an economically developed place. There is no reason for Dangtu and Qinglin. Dangtu and Qinglin are dangerous in the terrain, which is a place with inconvenient transportation. It is a place with excellent strategic position but not suitable for economic development.
Fu Gongyou is good at governance. If it weren't for ulterior motives, there would be no reason to care about Dangtu, who was not suitable for economic development. Because of this, Li Jing realized that Fu Gongyou had ulterior motives, but was just out of speculation and no real evidence. Although he had made a memorial, Li Yuan was afraid of Du Fuwei, the overlord of the Jianghuai River, and ignored Fu Gongyou, the second-ranking figure of Jianghuai, which also led to today's situation.
Luo Shixin trusted Li Jing's military ability very much. Although he did not understand the situation in Jiangnan, Li Jing felt that Fu Gongyou would use Dangtu, Qinglin and Danyang to carefully control each other, and there must be a reason for him. When Li Jing asked him this question, he thought carefully that he should win step by step. He first defeated Dangtu, Qinglin then approached Danyang. However, Fu Gongyou had 100,000 troops, Dangtu and Qinglin had been repaired for years, and it was not easy to conquer it in a short time.
Luo Shixin always thinks about the direction of history when he is bored. According to the historical process, Li Yuan of the Turks has always pretended to be a grandson and pretended to be abdicated. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the Turks took advantage of the collapse of Li Jiancheng and had serious mistakes in the northern defense line set up by Li Jiancheng. He rushed straight into the border border. Li Shimin, who was always tough on the outside, had to pretend to be a second grandson, but he was better than his. Soon after he came to power, he took back Shuofang and several portals of Mayi to avoid the border crisis. Until the fourth year of Zhenguan, he broke through the Turkic Khan's court in one fell swoop and captured the Turkic Khan to Chang'an to dance for him.
Luo Shixin felt that since he traveled to this world, he could not follow the course of history. What is the difference between that and eating and waiting to die? What is the meaning of having him or not? In history, the Turks were destroyed in the fourth year of Zhenguan. As long as the Turks were abolished in the third year of Zhenguan and the second year of Zhenguan, and promoting the course of history, it is the value of his existence.
This rebellion of the Tang Dynasty on the surface had nothing to do with the Turks, but it was not. In terms of strength, the Tang Dynasty was not inferior to the Turks, but today the Tang Dynasty is ineffective in its infancy, and what it lacked is the economy of the expedition. Emperor Wu of Han was as powerful as Emperor Wu of Han, and with the savings of the two Emperors Wen and Jing for many years, he defeated the Huns and ended up half of the population in the empty space, which shows how much consumption the expedition was.
In his opinion, the Tang Dynasty should be replenishing its energy and developing its economy to prepare for the fight against the Turks. The Fu Gongzhe made a lot of military investment to the Tang Dynasty. Wouldn't it delay the fight against the Turks?
Such a thing is never allowed, so Luo Shixin heard Fu Gong's rebellion. Pei Qingyi appeared in Dangtu by chance, so he wanted to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he helped the Tang Dynasty take Dangtu off from the other hand and ended the war as soon as possible.
Pingyang was a little incredible, and he didn't know where she came from. But he also felt that Luo Shixin had a plan for the Tang Dynasty everywhere and said sincerely: "It is a great blessing for me to have a general in the Tang Dynasty."
Luo Shixin wanted to say that everything was Li Jing's merit, but he thought about it but didn't say it out loud. Some things were not allowed to be said or not, so he had to abide by Pingyang's praise.
He suddenly turned around and looked north, and three cavalry galloped in the distance.
It was the Pingyang Gate who escorted Hou Jie and Hou's mother then arrived.
What surprised Luo Shixin was that Hou Jie was also one of the three cavalrymen, so he did not follow him to Chang'an.
"Princess, General!"
Hou Jie came nearby and bowed respectfully.
"Why didn't you go to Chang'an?" Pingyang also had the same thoughts.
Hou Jie said respectfully: "It was my mother who asked me to come. She said she had the princess's special care, and when she arrived in Chang'an, there were even imperial doctors to treat her. I was not familiar with medical principles and could not do anything even if I stayed by her side. It would be better to follow the princess and the general could do something to deal with Situ's souvenir. I think it's right. The princess and the general didn't recognize Situ's and his subordinates, and even if I sat together, I might not know. This is too passive. My Hou Jie was not very skilled in martial arts and was injured again, but there must be something useful to me."
Luo Shixinxi said: "It's great that you can come to help! By the way, you don't know yet. Jianghuai Fu Gongyan rebelled, and one of their strongholds is in Dangtu. We are going here not only to deal with Situ's sorrow but also to deal with Fu Gongyan. It's even more dangerous. If you are willing to join in, it's best to be mentally prepared."
"This..." Hou Jie hesitated slightly: "I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that my mother will not be taken care of after death. If the general is willing to pay someone to take care of my mother for the rest of her life, even if Dangtu is a sea of swords and fire, I am willing to make a breakthrough in order to repay the general's great kindness."
"Please it on me!" Hou Jie always puts his mother first. Luo Shixin was very moved by this filial piety and responded without hesitation.
Hou Jie also had no scruples and was ready to die generously.
Luo Shixin laughed and said, "Don't look like he's going to die. It's just a danger, not a situation of death. And we'll move forward to the Jianghuai area, which is already the enemy's territory, not as good as in Nanyang. Don't call him princess and generals. Your Highness changed his words and said that she was Mrs. Li, the wife who married to the north, went home to visit relatives. My name is Luo Cheng, the leader of the guard, Luo, the guard, and the brothers Luo Cheng whatever they call him, but he can't call him Luo Shixin."
In Goguryeo, Luo Shixin dared to use Shixin as his name, but he did not dare to do so in China. It was not because he was arrogant, but now he did not care about the south and the north, and there were very few people who didn't know about Luo Shixin. He just gave himself a name. Anyway, Luo Cheng in the novel was fiction based on Luo Shixin's deeds in history.
"I understand! Commander Luo!" Hou Jie has been in the world for many years and has rich experience, so he instantly changed his name.
If more people attract attention, it is not conducive to action.
When entering Jianghuai, Luo Shixin and Pingyang broke up again, broke up the disciples, rushed to Dangtu to inquire about information, and only fifteen guards left to go south. Hou Jie did not follow the team, but pretended to be fellow passers-by between Luo Shixin and the others, observing whether there were Situ's wounded people in the rear.
When we went deep into the Jianghuai River, the atmosphere was obviously strange.
The Tang Dynasty had been unifying the north and south for nearly four years, and the people were determined. When the war broke out, people were panicked and the people were at a loss. Some planned to leave the right and wrong place before the war came, while others were waiting for the trial of fate with a tragic expression of resignation. The illegal, gangsters and gangsters took the opportunity to make trouble and do evil. Some ambitious people took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation, and some officers and soldiers searched for local government soldiers and forced the increase of troops.
The Jianghuai River is in turmoil!
"Damn it!" Pingyang was so angry that he saw this scene.
Luo Shixin also lamented that the people suffered a tragic disaster. He thought of the sentence "Rising, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer" in Zhang Yanghao's "Reminiscence of Tongguan" and said with emotion.
Pingyang's eyes shone brightly when he heard this, and he couldn't tell that Luo Shixin had this feeling. He glanced at him and saw that he was tall, thin and tall. Although he was wearing a samurai tights, he still showed a bit of compassion for the world.
In Luo Shixin, Pingyang was about to arrive in Dangtu and rest in Xuejin Town. Wu Bao, who arrived in Dangtu, quietly returned at night and passed the news found on the front line to Pingyang and Luo Shixin.
"As the general said, Fu Gongyou sent general Feng Huiliang to lead 30,000 naval troops to station Dangtu, and Chen Zhengdao led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to station Qinglin. At the same time, he also used iron ropes from Liangshan to cross the Yangtze River to block the waterways and build Yuecheng in a dangerous place, which lasted for more than ten miles."
"While they were stalking the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, they strengthened the defense of the river bank, obviously using the idea of not fighting and consuming each other!" Pingyang looked at Luo Shixin with a little admiration and said, "It's not bad for you to expect."
Luo Shixin said: "So, Dangtu cannot cross the river?"
"I can't pass!" Wu Bao shook his head and said, "A comprehensive blockade is required, no one is allowed to cross the river."
"Okay!" Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Then tomorrow we will go around Dangtu and go to the riverside to find out what's going on."
Pingyang smiled knowingly and said, "Look at what formation they have set up. If you have an idea, you will turn back to Dangtu after you come back."
The next day, Luo Shixin and Pingyang bypassed Dangtu and rushed to Dangtu Port.
Sure enough, soldiers were guarding the harbor with strict precautions. Facing Luo Shixin and his group, ten soldiers held up bright weapons and stood in front of Luo Shixin.
"What are you doing? Go back, this road is not open, this road is not open." A school official strode up.
Luo Shixin greeted him with a smile, "Hello Jun Ye! A small meeting gift is not enough, no respect is enough. My wife returns to her hometown to visit relatives, and I wonder if Jun Ye can be as kind as a kind." Many people didn't blame this "ritual". As soon as they met Luo Shixin, she stuffed Tongbao to the school official who was walking in the front.
This was the first time Yang Jie had been a primary school in his life. The fortune that fell from the sky almost knocked him out. He kept Tongbao silently, and looked at Luo Shixin's eyes with only three words "subjugation".
