Chapter 28 Pull a hair, move the whole body
In Wende Hall, the emperor Xiao Yan summoned Li Li, the Dongye Supervisor who "flyed" into Taicheng, the crown prince Xiao Gang, and the Xiangdong Prince Xiao Fang were also there. Li Lang, who "flyed" into Taicheng with Li Li, was waiting aside.
Li Li was wearing military uniform. The elderly Xiao Yan looked at the tall black man in front of him, remembering some things, and sighed: "Are you Li Li of Poyang?"
Li Li replied: "Your Majesty, the humble position is Li Li of Poyang."
He was not even an official, so he was not easy to call him a "member". As an official in Shaofu Temple, he was like a private servant of the emperor, but he was too shameless to call himself a "husband".
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes: "You are the troublesome Li Li?"
Xiao Gang, Xiao Fang and others, as well as Li Lang, who were attending the audience, couldn't help but look at Li Li when he heard the emperor's question.
Li Li honestly replied: "Yes, the humble job is the erratic Li Li."
"You...you..." Xiao Yan said a few "you" one after another, and finally laughed: "What are you thinking?"
This question was meaningful. Li Li knew that it had to start with "eight years ago", so he replied: "I am humble, I just want to survive."
"Living? Then why are you going to venture into the city?"
"I am not a good job... I have already started a family." Li Li said, and his answer was a little puzzled. Xiao Yan looked at him without saying a word.
"I was a man who worked as an Aye in July last year."
"I have a wife and a concubine in my humble position. I have two daughters. In the future, I will definitely be as graceful as my mother."
"But, Bei Zhi and Zhuo Jing want to live to see that day, see their daughter get married, and marry a good family."
Xiao Yan asked again: "If you don't enter the city, you can see it even if you live in Poyang?"
"Where can there be a complete egg when the nest is destroyed? If Taicheng falls and the world is in chaos, there will be no way for ordinary people to survive. When I was young, in the first year of Datong, Xianyu Chen in Poyang caused chaos. My father and brother were out of war, and I was heartbroken."
"This is so painful that I don't want my children to suffer again."
Xiao Yan asked again: "But you just want to send a message when you enter the city?"
"If you only have a low position to enter the city, no one will believe what you say, but the prince of Xiangdong comes with you, and what you say will be seriously considered."
"The Prince of Xiangdong said what he wanted to say. As long as the city holds for a few more days, the siege of Taicheng can be resolved. It is just that the traitor isolates China and abroad. The Prince of Poyang is sincere and easily slandered him and misleads His Majesty and His Highness."
Xiao Yan asked again: "But I heard that the prince of Poyang is almost fighting alone, so how can he break through the interception and remove the siege of Taicheng? Why don't other generals help me?"
Li Li knew that the old emperor had a very clear answer to this answer, and did not explain it: "What other generals think are humble and do not know, but only know that in another three or five days, the official army will enter the city of Tai."
Xiao Yan looked at Li Li and continued to ask: "So confident? If the traitors concentrate their forces to intercept, build earthen mountains and build tall buildings, how can the official army break through?"
"Yes, because...ahem..."
Li Li coughed a few times and then said, "The Prince of Xiangdong is here. I want to come to Jingzhou to go to the Prince of Poyang to make trouble first, and then...and then join forces to fight against the traitors."
"Ahem!!"
Now it was Xiao Yan's turn to cough, and Xiao Fang and others looked at Li Li helplessly. Li Li had already explained his intentions clearly on the hot air balloon, so what else can he do?
Xiao Gang also looked at Li Li, as if he was looking at a rogue in the market, and Li Lang could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
After coughing, Xiao Yan glared at Li Li: "So you made him come to Taicheng, and then took him as a hostage and forced the generals of Jingzhou to join forces with the Prince of Poyang?"
"Your Majesty is wise."
With a "bang", Xiao Yan patted the desk and glared at Li Li: "You are so bold!"
"I want to help the official army to quell the rebellion, but people say it lightly." Li Li said slowly. Anyway, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. Now, no one can change anything.
"The prince of Poyang is determined to rescue the siege, but he suffers from insufficient troops and not much arrow or material left. So this evil man is a humble position."
"If it were just the prince of Xiangdong who entered Taicheng, Jingzhou would put the blame on the prince of Poyang who might not have participated in the attack, but..."
"This hot air balloon is enough to increase the morale of our army, and it also makes the generals think that the Prince of Poyang has such a flying technique and his determination to break the enemy will increase greatly, so he will tend to participate in the attack."
"Then, can King Shaoling, who witnessed or heard of flying monsters flying into Taicheng, stand by and watch?"
"I think King Shaoling would think that the Prince of Poyang had a strange help, so that he used the flying technique, so he could rescue him. Once the troops in Jingzhou assisted in the war, King Shaoling might send troops to assist in the war."
"If the three soldiers and horses fought together and the undecided Governor Liu, I think it would be determined to send troops to help the battle because of the flying technique."
"If Governor Liu also moved, the other generals who don't know how to deal with it will also send troops."
"This is to pull a single move, move the whole body, and the soldiers of the various units of the King's Army work together to hold back their encouragement and attack Taicheng. The thief cannot stop it."
Xiao Yan only felt absurd: "Why do you think that they will work together to attack as you expected?"
"They will inevitably work together. Your Majesty and the soldiers all watched the hot air balloons fly into Taicheng with their own eyes. Then, they would think, if His Majesty or His Highness fly out of Taicheng in the hot air balloon..."
Xiao Yan and Xiao Gang were stunned when they heard this: Indeed, even if Taicheng is broken and hot air balloons are available, it does not mean that they will become prisoners.
Li Li continued: "Of course, Your Majesty and Your Highness will not leave behind all civil and military officials, as well as the soldiers guarding the city, and leave the city by themselves."
"But when the soldiers of the king and the soldiers, when they think of His Majesty, His Highness is foolproof and have hot air balloons as a guarantee, how dare they not kill the enemy with their hearts and gain military merits?"
Xiao Yan understood Li Li's meaning: many people saw it when flying hot air balloons in public, which not only made the soldiers feel hopeful of breaking the enemy, but also made the generals who avoided the war feel like they were on their backs.
Those who passively avoid the war and intend to sit idly by the emperor and the crown prince falling into Hou Jing's hands will not be able to sit still, because even if Taicheng falls, the emperor and the crown prince can still escape.
Those generals who are purely waiting and watching will also worry that the emperor or the crown prince will settle the accounts after the autumn after taking a hot air balloon.
Then, you will inevitably take the initiative and participate in the offensive.
This is the most critical "one-touch".
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan looked at Li Li and felt his head start to hurt: Seven or eight years ago, you were still a leader and caused trouble, but now you are getting more and more courageous!
He lived for decades and became an emperor for decades. He would not remember the name of a foreigner, but this little person was too good at making trouble, so he was impressed.
Not to mention the authenticity of the fish belly poem at the end of the seventh year of Datong, let’s talk about the murder case at the Poyang Palace in the eighth year of Datong, which involved his two sons and one nephew, which made a mess.
Although there is no evidence to prove that Li Li was the one who caused the big case, Li Li was involved in this case, so Xiao Yan remembered this name.
Now, Li Li is making trouble again, earning his grandson into the siege, and forcing the generals of Jingzhou to take the initiative.
It’s also a blessing for you to think and do it!
And done it!
I actually took my grandson to Taicheng!
When Xiao Yan thought of the scene where the generals of Jingzhou came to the camp of Prince of Poyang to cause trouble, he felt helpless.
However, if this strategy of "touching one hair and moving the whole body" really works, then...
The situation opened.
Xiao Yan quickly figured it out, and the look of looking at Li Li became complicated.
Seeing that his grandfather was a little dazed, Xiao Fang and others quickly stepped forward to support him. Xiao Gang looked at Li Li with his eyes twitching, but he had hope in his heart.
Touch one hair and move the whole body?
Take the Prince of Xiangdong as his hair and pull the troops to jointly attack?
It is equivalent to talking nonsense, those people will only blame the prince of Poyang.
However, Li Li's "tug" with a hot air balloon, maybe it can really be achieved?
Seeing that Li Li had successfully persuaded the emperor and the prince, Li Lang quickly struck while the iron was hot and took out a letter from his arms: "Report to Your Majesty, I will bring you a handwritten letter from the Prince of Poyang. Please check it out..."
Li Lang entered the city this time and worked as a messenger. When Li Li saw the emperor and the crown prince were there, he thought about it and said:
"I am brave enough to believe that the rebels will inevitably counterattack in the near future. Therefore, there are some suggestions on strengthening the city defense. Please accept it..."
......
By the Qingxi River, in the military camp, Shaoling King Xiao Lun was sitting alone in the tent and thought about things. Yesterday, something strange happened. A monster in Dongfu City flew to Taicheng, and then fell into the city.
Xiao Lun took a nap in the account at that time. After receiving a notice, he went out to check the account. He saw the monster shaped like a big cloth bag slowly flying in the sky and flying towards Taicheng.
What is this monster? It is said to have flew out of the Dongfu City. So does it have anything to do with the Prince of Poyang?
Could it be that there are strange people in the Poyang Prince's camp that can make the behemoth fly in the sky?
Xiao Lun was confused and was restless by the flying monster. Then he learned that the generals of Jingzhou were in the camp of the Prince of Poyang to discuss matters, but he didn't know what he was conspiring.
Later I heard that the behemoth was a war tool, made for the Prince of Poyang, and took the Prince of Xiangdong to Taicheng, as if to tell something about the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
Thinking of the generals in Jingzhou coming to the Poyang Prince's Camp to discuss matters, Xiao Lun suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that these two families have magic weapons to defeat the enemy, so they have to join forces to attack?
Once a flying device is used in war, can the enemy still stand it?
It seems that the thief can't stop it this time!
Xiao Lun only felt that his mind was very confused. Taicheng was surrounded and he was in a complicated mood. He was looking forward to it, but worried. So until now, he didn't know how to make a decision.
While thinking about it, I vaguely heard the sound of the horn coming. Listening to the sound, it was the movement in the military camp of the Prince of Poyang.
After a while, the Yong'an Hou Xiao Que rushed over and reported something to Xiao Lun: "Father! The prince of Poyang has begun to attack the thief camp!"
"What? Didn't Taicheng's order say that a truce is going to be in a truce? How dare he?" Xiao Lun said, feeling his head hurt.
"Father! We shouldn't have ceased to fight, so we can't give the thief a chance to breathe!"
Xiao Que said excitedly. He had been trying his best to escape the siege of Jiankang, but the official army was defeated. Now he seemed to have hope of understanding the siege, so he came to persuade his father immediately.
"The Prince of Poyang has a wonderful help from others and can be used as a flying equipment. I think there is a way to defeat the enemy!"
"For example, if you fly over the enemy camp and set fire, how can the thief resist it?" Xiao Que became more and more excited.
"And the Jingzhou army seems to have also attacked. Father, our army should not be on the sidelines in this battle!" Xiao Que saw that his father was still hesitating, and suddenly had an idea.
"Father! Grandfather, uncle may get out of trouble with that flying thing!"
"What!!" Xiao Lun suddenly stood up, and his son's guess made him realize a possibility:
The Prince of Poyang used the flying thing to send people into the city, not necessarily just to communicate information, but also to pick people out of the city. That...
Even if Taicheng falls, both father and brother can escape! You can even come out in advance and meet with the Prince of Poyang...
So no matter whether Taicheng is lost or not, father and brother will be safe and sound!
