Chapter 198: The Joker Clown is not worth the risk

Zhang Zhenzhou and Lu Zushang couldn't help but feel a chill after hearing Li Jing's words. They were also experienced people and were familiar with military affairs. Most of them had real talents and knowledge of the position of chief executives in the Tang Dynasty. Because the Tang Dynasty fought for years and the national treasury was not abundant, they did not want to spend more time in Jiangnan. Li Yuan wrote the four words "Speed ​​Battle" on the imperial edict.

Now Fu Gongyou clearly shows that he is strictly guarding the defensive. Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengdao are also good at defending. One guards Qinglin with infantry and cavalry, and the other guards Dangtu with boat troops. The two strangled the important water and land roads and helped each other. It is not easy to conquer them in a moment. Attacking them is inconsistent with the intention of quick battle and quick decision. As long as you take Danyang, you will be in line with the intention of quick battle and quick decision to the greatest extent. Anyway, even if you take Dangtu and Qinglin, you will still have to attack Danyang in the end. It is better to go directly to the enemy's backbone and attack Danyang, and then you will have the idea of ​​attacking Danyang. Therefore, it is ignored that Danyang is more difficult to conquer than Dangtu and Qinglin. If you can't take it down, they will fall into the Jedi that is isolated and helpless.

Li Jing's analysis was reasonable and well-founded. Zhang Zhenzhou and Lu Zushang were all convinced after hearing this.

Li Shiji also said at this time: "The last general agrees with the deputy commander's opinion. The way of using troops is to put the right first. Our troops are better than the auxiliary public, and our logistics support is better than the auxiliary public, and the wisdom and courage of good generals and soldiers are better than the auxiliary public. With the regular soldiers as a step by step, we will definitely win a complete victory. Taking a risky surprise attack will ruin the complete victory. Since there is a way to win, why should we take the risk to seek surprise?"

Huang Junhan agreed at this time: "The last general also supports the deputy general's suggestion and is willing to be a pioneer and let the traitors such as Fu Gongyu know that even if they shrink, our Tang Dynasty can still break their turtle shells."

Li Xiaogong has always followed Li Jing's advice, and Li Yuan issued a special order to make decisions in the military, and Li Jing has the power to make decisions.

Now his opinions have been recognized by the public. He no longer thought about it, and directly issued a military order to attack the entire line.

After the meeting, Li Jing and Li Shiji walked together on the way back to the camp.

"What good strategies does Maogong have for the current situation?" Li Jing knew the abilities of the generals of the Tang Dynasty very well, and admired Li Shiji's wisdom and strategy and military level, so he specially asked for advice with him.

Li Shiji was silent for a moment and said, "If you want to fight quickly, you will not be able to attack hard. It will only increase casualties, but will not be able to attack for a long time. It will also lose morale. Although you can win with your strength, you can kill 800 enemies and lose 3,000 of them. In the long run, it is not worth the consumption."

Li Jing nodded and agreed: "It's reasonable that our real strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty was the Turks, not the Fu Gongyou. The more he used the war of attrition with him, the more he would be, the better he would be. The Turks would be cheaper. King Qin and General Luo have fought very well in the north over the years. We can't hold them back in the south."

What a true wise man values ​​is not the momentary victory or defeat in front of him, but considering the problem from the long run. Li Jing and Li Shiji are all heroes of the times. Their long-term vision is comparable to few people in the world. Every word and action not only includes the current situation, but have not yet made sufficient considerations in the future.

Li Shiji said in a deep voice: "The Fu Gongyou has great ambitions and has been planning for many years. This dynasty has risen. Everything is in place, and he has to accept it in many aspects. However, in my opinion, they are not impeccable. They also have fatal weaknesses that can be used."

Li Jing said: "What Maogong is talking about is food and grass?"

"That's right!" Li Shiji nodded and smiled, feeling that the heroes had a similar feeling.

Food and grass are the biggest problem facing the Fu Gongyuan at present, which is related to the unique geographical advantage of Jiangnan. Since the Qin Dynasty, Jiangnan has been a backward region, and all dynasties have attached importance to Guanzhong. The development of the Central Plains and the North is also the Tang Dynasty. The rise of Jiangnan lies in the Anshi Rebellion. After the Anshi Rebellion, Anlushan and Shi Siming caused chaos in the north at the right time, and the population moved south across a large scale, which gave Jiangnan the foundation for the rise, which made the south angry.

In the early Tang Dynasty, because Li Yuan did not pay attention to the south, the Tang Dynasty did not build large-scale official warehouses in the south. All the grain produced in Jiangnan was transported to several major official warehouses in Guanzhong, Luoyang. Anyway, the grain produced in Jiangnan was abundant, and as long as there was no major disaster, there was almost no need for official warehouses to save the government warehouse.

From this we can estimate that without the official warehouse as a support, Fu Gongyou must not have much food in his hands. In order to fight against the Tang Dynasty, he increased his troops on a large scale and supported the food of the rebels who followed the uprising and causing trouble. In time, the food and grass must be tight. Fu Gongyou was disguised as a good person on the surface, but how could he hide it from Li Jing and Li Shiji's eyes?

"Deputy coach!"

At this time, the guard guards strode up and said that Luo Shixin sent someone to ask for a visit.

Li Jing directly invited the other party in. His relationship with Luo Shixin is little known, and it can be concluded that no one would pretend to be Luo Shixin's name and have bad intentions.

Seeing that Li Jing had something to do, Li Shiji said, "Let's go first."

"Is the general who sent you here?" Li Jing looked at the pretty girl in red clothes in front of him. From her, he saw a little bit of the unique Jianghu aura on the red fu girl.

The red sword was sent to the letter.

Li Jing looked at his handwriting and had no doubts. Although there are many strange people in the world who can imitate his handwriting, he did not believe that someone had the ability to imitate Luo Shixin's words: the fonts that were crooked, horizontal, and of different sizes, imitating his words is definitely the same as imitating the calligraphy of the saint Wang Xizhi, and even more difficult.

After reading the letter, Li Jing angrily shouted, "Nothing!" There was no language. Although he did not accept Luo Shixin as his disciple, he regarded him as a disciple. Seeing Luo Shixin as the emperor of the general, he participated in the affairs of the world alone, he sneaked into Dangtu and stood under the dangerous wall. He was really unwise.

After this, Li Jing had no choice but to think about the woman in red in front of him and said, "Go back and tell the general, you must not act rashly. As a clown in the jumping beam, it is easy to destroy it, but a matter of time... The jumping beam is not worth taking risks."

************

Because the war is about to begin, the key guards of Dangtu are particularly strict.

However, although Fu Gongyu proclaimed himself emperor, the people had not yet convinced him. Everything in the territory was still implemented by the original system of the Tang Dynasty to avoid causing chaos in the order. For example, the citations entering and leaving the city were all opened by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty's currency Tongbao.

In ancient times, there was no ID card, and the only way to identify the identity was "literary citation", which is the "road citation" of later generations. In this era, those who want to stay away from a foreign land must obtain reviews from the government and open official citations to prove it. With the identity of Pingyang and Luo Shixin, it was too easy to get a real citation. I checked my identity, paid the city tax, and stuffed a few more Tongbao, and I was also released into the city.

On the way, Luo Shixin and Pingyang were still thinking about how to find Pei Qingyi. This is not a big deal. Even if you search from door to door, even if you are not wanted by the Fu Gongjun, you will find out and notice the Situ Shu. Situ Shu and they are assassins, and the enemy is too dangerous for me to be a secret.

As it turns out, they are overthinking this.

Luo Shixin and Pingyang found the Jieshi Inn as he mentioned according to the general direction Yang Jie said.

As a medium-sized inn, the sanitation environment is pretty good and acceptable, so I stayed here so that Yang Jie can come to find them.

Luo Shixin still exuded his tyranny spirit and was generous, which aroused the favor of the waiter in the store, and was attentive to work hard and serve carefully.

Luo Shixin asked a simple news about Dangtu City, and the waiter also knew everything. In their career, they often listened to customers' chats, were knowledgeable, and could find many useful things.

However, the time of a meal, he could find out the key points such as military camps and granaries in Dangtu City.

After eating and drinking, Luo Shixin and Pingyang discussed going back to the room and waiting for news from Wu Bao and the others. More than 60 of them arrived in Dangtu first. The earliest batch has been six days, so they should have some gains.

Luo Shixin and Pingyang went upstairs one after another, and a young man in his twenties was walking down the stairs. When the two passed by, Luo Shixin suddenly felt something and grabbed the young man's shoulder like lightning.

The young man was slightly panicked and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Luo Shixin chuckled and said, "Give me my things back before leaving!"

"What, don't swear!" The young man said angrily, but his body shrank, and he actually broke free from Luo Shixin's capture.

Luo Shixin was very surprised. At that moment, he felt like he had caught a loach, slipping without hesitation. He reached out to grab the other party's arm, but he still easily broke free even after he grabbed it. He noticed something was wrong. The other party seemed to have practiced a strange cartilage dodge technique, which could break free from his grasp in an incredible way.

The young man sneered in his heart and thought, "This Luo Shixin is just like this, I'm leaving." As he was thinking this, his palm fell on his head, his five fingers were like a circle of diamonds, and they were pressed on the top of his head. Each finger was like a steel nail embedded in his head. The heart-wrenching pain made him scream. He didn't even notice that Luo Shixin's hand appeared on his head like this, as if it was there, and there was no room for a fight.

"If you have the ability, you can shrink your head." Luo Shixin added a little more force on his hand, and the young man couldn't bear it and shouted, "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." As he said that, he hurriedly took out a purse from his cuff and gave it to Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin reached out to take the purse, kicked him over, kicked him to the bottom of the stairs, and said, "Don't let me see you."

The young man hugged his head with both hands and limped away.

From stealing money to confrontation to paying back money, it was just a blink of an eye.

The waiter of the shopkeeper heard the abnormal movement and just came close to him and asked what he was doing.

Luo Shixin smiled and said, "It's just a thief, it's not a problem."

Seeing that Luo Shixin had no intention of prosecution and did not want to cause trouble, the shopkeeper apologized and went to work hard.

Ping Yang glanced and said, "It must be your troubles caused by your generous efforts."

Luo Shixin touched his nose awkwardly, feeling a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.
