Luo Zhaoyun discussed the route of sending troops, and finally decided to let Xue Wanren and Ning Wufei lead two thousand elite soldiers, who are good at climbing, hunting, and jungle trackers, and combine them together to circumvent Pipa Gorge, climb to the back of the Tulou Mountain Defense Ridge, attack at night, and seize the defense line of the mountains and steep mountains, which can reduce casualties in the northwest Sui army.

"This matter is of great importance. I hope you and the two of you can wait for the wolf smoke signal in ten days to take down the mountain defense line, and then ignite us in the mountains and make clear."

"Please rest assured that Young Marshal, we will definitely complete the task." Xue Wanren was also a fierce general, fearless and patted his chest to promise.

Ning Wufei was stationed in the border garrison for several years. The terrain and climate of the counties northwest of the capital were quite familiar. In addition, he selected some local hunters to lead the way, so he could accurately find the route to cross the mountains.

"Your action is highly confidential. You set out at night to cover up your eyes and avoid farmers and people on the way, and you need to disguise yourself."

"I understand." Xue Wanren nodded, understanding the particularity of leading troops this time.

Luo Zhaoyun arranged the curious soldiers, and his next goal was how to deal with Linqiang City.

It is estimated that after Li Gui, the Xiliang regime, would definitely shrink the scattered soldiers and generals from the border garrison after learning that they had sent troops, gathered in Linqiang City to rely on the city's strength to stay together, consuming the opponent's troops.

Luo Zhaoyun said to Cheng Mingzhen: "After transferring five hundred people, disguising them, enter Linqiang City in batches, and find some of our place to go there, and then wait for the signal of our army's attack. On the night of the feint attack, you gather forces to attack the north gate. Open the city gate there, and cooperate inside and outside, and you will be able to capture this city."

Cheng Mingzhen was also very happy to hear that he had important tasks. This was a signal to constantly accept himself into the core circle. He wanted to take advantage of me and continue to make contributions. The more he was valued.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "The army will set out in two days, give you two men and a certain amount of time to move. Within half a month, we will strive to drive the Li Gui regime out of Xiping County, put pressure on Xue Ju, and let him compete with Tang Duke Li Yuan."

After the meeting, Luo Zhaoyun waved his hand and asked the generals to go back and prepare.

………

One month after Li Yuan raised his troops in Jinyang, he sent Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin as the vanguard commander and deputy commander, and himself as the commander of the central army. He led a total of 100,000 troops to march towards Daxing City.

He has been an official for so many years, and has been a noble family of Guanlong and aristocratic families for many generations. He is well aware of the importance of Daxing City. Its location is the Fengshui treasure land of Guanlong and Qinchuan. At that time, Xianyang of Qin and Chang'an of Han were all places of dragons. It unified the last capital of the world and its destiny.

Daxing City was built by the Emperor of Sui Dynasty. Due to the destruction of the old Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, the streets were disrepaired and the scale was relatively small. We chose to re-live the welfare and established Daxing City not far from the old Chang'an. It was many times larger than the old Chang'an City, and it was magnificent and magnificent, which was in line with the emperor's identity.

Li Yuan had long considered it clearly that as long as he took over Daxing City, he could change his name to New Chang'an City and start his own dynasty hegemony.

However, before this, he still had great concerns, because Liu Wuzhou colluded with Turkic cavalry to attack Yanmen Pass in the north and was about to occupy Yanmen County, threatening the safety of Taiyuan. In the northwest, Xue Ju, Liang Shidu, Li Gui and other forces were eyeing each other. Recently, he heard that Luo Cheng had also gone to the northwest to quell the chaos.

To the east is Li Mi and Dou Jiande's army, occupying Hebei and Henan, and the forces in various places are not weaker than his Jinyang troops.

Now we are racing against time to seize the opportunity. Whoever gets the big advantage first is to get luck and have hope to laugh to the end.

Pei Ji said: "Duke Tang, Li Mi has besieged Hulao Pass at present. It seems that there is a great chance of winning. Once Li Mi passes Hulao, he will take the lead in taking Luoyang and use the emperor to command the princes. This will have a great constraint on us. Even if we take down the Dai Wang Yang You, they have Yang Tong, who has a higher status. In addition, many of the current ministers and families in Luoyang City, and the surname Li, will cause a great diversion to Tang Gong's fortune."

Li Yuan sighed, "This is also what I am worried about. He is the Li family, and I am also the Li family. They all have to take that move. There is indeed a lot of competition. Moreover, Li Mi is a man with martial arts and martial arts. At noon, he gathers a large number of strategists with extraordinary wisdom and skills. He is brave and good at fighting. He seems to be more famous than ours. At present, I am worried that if he likes my move, he will send an elite soldier to bypass Luoyang, attack us from the side to cross the river, and approach Daxing City, so that there will be Sui army in front of our army and Li Mi army on the side, which will cause us to be stuck in the outer area of ​​Qinchuan and cannot approach Daxing City."

"Duke Tang, I have a plan that may eliminate hidden dangers in this regard."

"What strategy?" Li Yuan asked.

Pei Ji smiled mysteriously and said, "Li Mi is indeed talented and knows how to use troops, but he also has shortcomings. That is, he has never been a high-ranking official in the court. Once he sits in a high position, he will definitely become more and more arrogant, self-reliant, have the ambitions of the world, but he is arrogant. As long as Duke Tang writes a letter, nominally elects him as the leader of the world, fights against the Sui army together, and makes him slackened and slackened, and temporarily lets go of the idea of ​​advancing westward. Once Duke Tang occupys Daxing City, he can take the initiative and win."

Li Yuan stroked his beard, his eyes flashed brightly, and he nodded with a smile: "Well, this plan is feasible. I can make a letter, hold Li Mi, and take him as the leader of the alliance, so that he can think of Luoyang City. By then, when he takes Luoyang, we will have a firm foothold in Guanzhong. Using the terrain here, the Hangu Guandao is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Following the steps of Qin's unification of the world, we will attack one after another, and swallow up the princes from all over the country little by little."

"That's exactly what it means!"

Li Yuan asked the candidate: "Who is the most suitable person to send to deliver the letter?"

Pei Ji recommended: "Liu Chongli is eloquent and has a good tongue, and is most suitable for lobbying Li Mi."

Li Yuan nodded and sent someone to summon Liu Chongli in the military camp overnight, and called him to the general's tent to talk about the matter.

Liu Chongli knew the importance of this matter. Since he asked him to come and discuss, he even took a fancy to his eloquence, which was a special mission. If he could do it, his career would definitely be smoother in the future and he would be reused, so he agreed immediately.
