MTL - My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty-Chapter 327 Shadow of War!

   Li Yin's expression was serious, Tong Yu asked: "Your Highness, what happened?"

Li Yin didn't hide it from him, so he told him that the barbarians might attack Yizhou. If he really wanted to attack Xieli from the north to the south, then Li Yin still had time to prepare.

  Understanding the seriousness of the matter, Tong Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'm going back to Taoyuan to prepare for this matter." After finishing speaking, he turned and left the Yizheng Hall.

Watching Tong Yu leave, Li Min frowned and thought for a while, then went directly to the camp of the Central Army, and contacted Zhechong Mansions in various prefectures through the radio of the Central Army camp to make them strengthen their guard, and at the same time put the soldiers who had been in charge of guarding Hezhou Xue Rengui was also transferred back. The false information provided by Li Min was naturally that basically all the troops in Yizhou participated in the expedition. In fact, only the navy and a small number of marines in Yizhou left Yizhou. After all, the expedition team The mission is to open up business routes and not to fight for world hegemony. There is no need to go to so many people. The real main force of the Yizhou monarch is still in Yizhou, and he can be dispatched at any time as long as Li Yin gives an order.

While Li Min was making preparations in Yizhou, he did not forget Li Shimin from Chang'an. He asked Su Morer to contact Wang Zheng from Chang'an Shengtang Commercial Daily by radio, and asked him to report this matter when he submitted the newspaper to Li Shimin for review. Tell Li Shimin, let Li Shimin also have a preparation. Wang Zheng, who was notified, understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurried to Taiji Palace with the newspaper manuscript.

   "Your Majesty, Wang Zheng from Shengtang Newspaper is asking to see you!" In the Palace of Ganlu, the **** reported to Li Shimin.

  Li Shimin was worrying about the northern grassland at this time, and Xieli appeared on the grassland once. Then disappeared without a trace like a ghost, and Xue Yantuo's invasion of the north continued to intensify, and some news also showed that this Xue Yantuo seemed to have reached some agreement with Xieli, and this made Li Shimin even more worried.

   "Isn't it time to review the newspaper today?" Li Shimin asked a little strangely. In the past, Wang Zheng would deliver the newspaper at dusk, but now, Wang Zheng actually delivered the newspaper so early.

   "He said that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has some secret news for him to bring to His Majesty." The **** said respectfully.

  Li Shimin nodded and said, "Let him in!"

  The **** answered yes, turned around and left. After a while, Wang Zheng walked in and said, "Wang Zheng sees Your Majesty!"

  Li Shimin put down the memorial and said, "What news did the King of Shu ask you to bring?"

"Return to Your Majesty! A few days ago, His Highness caught a spy in Yizhou. This spy was a subordinate of the former Crown Princess Chang's. From his mouth, His Highness forced out Jieli and Mo Ximan's plot to attack the Tang Dynasty from the north to the south. It is the information narrated by His Highness, please have a look at it." Wang Zheng handed over a piece of paper recording Li Yin's dictation to Li Shimin. Li Shimin's face changed when he heard the words, he took the paper and read it carefully, his face turned purple immediately, and said angrily: "What a vicious strategy, hum!"

  Wang Zheng continued: "Your Majesty. Your Highness told His Majesty to prepare in advance. He will block the Moxie barbarians in the south for His Majesty. Your Majesty only needs to concentrate on dealing with Xieli."

   "Well. You go back and tell the king of Shu, and tell him to do things cheaply. Be sure to block the moss, and I will mobilize the army to march north." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

  Wang Zheng nodded when he heard the words, and said yes.

  After Wang Zheng left, Li Shimin called the **** and said, "Immediately summon the ministers to discuss countermeasures."

   "Yes, Your Majesty!" The **** turned around and walked out...

  Yizhou, Li Yin went through several days of preparation. The central army was mobilized and started to march towards Xunzhou, except for the garrison troops stationed in Yizhou this time. The 30,000 troops of the Central Army came out in full force. These Central Army are now equipped with third-generation rifles, and the artillerymen are also using new type of field artillery. Such a large-scale mobilization of troops immediately made the people of Yizhou very nervous. In order to confuse the enemy, Li Yin published information about the military exercise in the newspaper, telling the people that it was just a normal military exercise, and the people settled down.

"Your Highness, why don't you recruit the troops from the Zhechong Prefectures?" Xue Rengui has already rushed back from Hezhou. In the past two years, he has been fighting against the Xiyuan Man in the direction of Hezhou. Although he has not experienced any major battles, the small ones have already Experienced a lot, accumulated a lot of practical experience.

"In order not to scare the snake away, if the Zhechong mansions of the states move, it means that Yizhou is really facing great danger. Moreover, some people don't know which direction they will attack. If the local troops are mobilized, the strength of the prefectures and counties will be reduced." It’s empty, and it’s not good to be worn out and take advantage of the opportunity.” Li Min analyzed that all states and counties in the Tang Dynasty had cities, and if there were troops with firearms stationed there, they could block them for a period of time. If all the troops were evacuated, then It is tantamount to handing over the city to others.

Xue Rengui nodded, still a little worried, "It will be really troublesome if you really unify the barbarians. After all, the border line of your highness's fief is too long. If they use several routes to attack at the same time, it will make us tired. , and three million barbarians, hundreds of thousands of Shu king's army can at least be drawn out, and it is said that they also have powerful elephant soldiers."

"Yes, in terms of combat effectiveness, we are not afraid of them, but if they dispatch a large number of troops, it is enough for us, so this time we have to rely on artillery." Li Yin said, looking at the new field artillery supported by the horse, This time the Central Army dispatched 500 field artillery, which is already all their firepower.

   Xue Rengui glanced at the cannons, and suddenly felt a little confident in his heart. He said: "With these cannons, we can wipe out a large number of their soldiers. The only hope is that they will not adopt the strategy of dividing troops!"

   Li Yan also frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said: "I hope so, otherwise we will inevitably suffer some losses."

   "But what if the barbarians don't attack us as planned?" Xue Rengui said.

"Then let's fight directly. The Nanban is always a threat, and the road from Yizhou to Piao has been blocked by them for so long. It's time to unblock it. Qin Huaiyu and the others are responsible for opening up the sea trade route. Open up the road from Yizhou to Pyu country." Li Yin said in a deep voice, even if the Nanman attacked first, Li Yin was ready to eliminate this force that had been threatening Yizhou, how could he let others snore by his bed!

While Li Yin and Li Shimin were nervously preparing for the unknown attack, Chang was fleeing back to the grassland. She didn't understand why the shadow guards in Yizhou were able to chase her down to Lingzhou in the north, where dozens of elite grassland The warriors died overnight at the hands of Su Moer's shadow guards. Facing the crossbows of the shadow guards, they were slaughtered like cattle and sheep. Fortunately, they escaped for a while and the shadow guards did not continue to follow them. .

"We've got the information we deserve, Xiaoyi, we'll have revenge soon!" Chang's face was contorted with excitement. For more than ten years, the purpose of her life is revenge, and now she has seen When she arrived at Hope, she had received information from Yizhou. At that time, the two carrier pigeons also flew to the place where Jieli and Moxi Manwang were at the same time. It was at this time that the shadow guards attacked them. The Turkic soldiers all died at the hands of the shadow guards.

Luo Xiaoyi's face was still pale from panic, they had hope of revenge, but why she couldn't be happy at all, she even began to wonder why she had sacrificed so much for so many years, revenge is really so important . She asked herself in her heart? Her only answer was endless confusion.

"Auntie, I don't want to go back to the grassland. We are useless to Jieli anymore." Luo Xiaoyi said, "This time it will either be the destruction of Datang or the destruction of Jieli. No matter which one, we will not be used. worth it."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Xiaoyi's words touched the most fearful thread in Chang's heart. In fact, how could she not understand that the two weak women are just pawns for Jieli, but they have no choice but to get revenge , "Mr. Xu favors you very much. He will protect us for you. Now Xieli is obedient to him."
