In Hezhou City, Li Hong's mansion was very dim because everyone was resting, and only Li Hong was reading in the study, and only Chen Gong was left.

Li Hong put down the book, stared at Chen Gong and asked, "Has news from Xue Na and Li Jingxuan been heard?"

His plan was to defeat Lu Dongzan's army in Dafeichuan and destroy the hero Lu Dongzan. Therefore, all his actions in Hezhou City were paving the way for the future battle of Dafeichuan. Now after a throat-cutting killing, he had paved the way for Lu Dongzan. If Guo Shifeng could stop Lu Dongzan's army from siegeing the city in a crazy way, he could not let Hezhou City break within three days, and also cause huge casualties to Lu Dongzan who was siegeing the city, he would be confident that he could destroy Lu Dongzan and his Tubo cavalry in Dafeichuan.

"Here they came over, they had already controlled two iron cavalry, but it would probably take three days to get to the scheduled location." Chen Gong replied respectfully. As Li Hong's personal guard general, his duty is not only to protect the safety of the prince, but also to collect information and convey information and war reports for the prince. However, he, the personal guard general, also has another position, which is to act as an intelligence officer around the prince when Yanzhuang is not present.

"Does it take three days?" Li Hong asked back, then nodded slightly, "It's exactly what Gu expected, I really need to give them three days."

Let Lu Dongzan attack the city because of his anger and fail to attack the city for three days. The morale of the Tubo army fell sharply. Coupled with Lu Dongzan's performance in the throat-cutting battle, rumors will spread in the Tubo camp. When he goes out of the city to lure Lu Dongzan, Lu Dongzan will definitely chase him desperately. At that time, he will siege Lu Dongzan and the Tubo army to lure Lu Dongzan and destroy Lu Dongzan from three sides. This is Li Hong's current plan.

"Or the generals would urge them again?" Chen Gong said worriedly. In Chen Gong's opinion, even if there are 30,000 more defenders in Hezhou City, it is very dangerous to face the crazy Lu Dongzan. In addition, in three days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will implement his plan. Xue Na and Li Jingxuan must ensure that they ambush at the scheduled location, otherwise Lu Dongzan's army will surround His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which will be troubled by then. How can His Royal Highness, who only has more than 5,000 cavalry, be the opponent of the 100,000 Tubo elite cavalry?

Li Hong sighed, "I'd better not. They want to escape the scouts of the Tubo people. They rushed to Dafeichuan to ambush without knowing each other. There is indeed a difficulty, and it would be fine to give them three more days."

Dafeichuan is in Tubo territory. Xue Na and Li Jingxuan lead their respective cavalry to ambush in Dafeichuan and prevent the Tubo people from discovering it. It really requires a great test, testing their leadership ability.

Li Hong knew very well that this difficulty was not enough to push the two of them too close. Besides, he was not in a hurry, so why bother to force them to hurry up?

When Chen Gong heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this, he stopped talking.

"In addition to them, is there any movements in the army of the King of the Western Regions Fang Yi?" Li Hong asked.

Can the entire Tubo elite cavalry be destroyed in Dafeichuan? It is not until the beginning of Wang Fangyi's army. Wang Fangyi's iron cavalry is the most elite existence in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Fangyi's gathering more than 100,000 cavalry from dozens of Western Shu countries is indeed the most important factor in the success of Li Hong's combat plan.

Chen Gong shook his head slightly and whispered, "No."

He knew very well how great the role of Wang Fangyi's army in the prince's plan was, but the plan would be implemented in three days. Until now, there was no news about the Western Regions army, and Chen Gong was very anxious.

If it weren't for Wang Fangyi's 100,000 cavalry, even if the prince's plan was successful, it was hard to say whether he could kill Lu Dongzan, but he might be defeated by Lu Dongzan. The northwest plateau, a bitter and cold place, is not suitable for long-distance raids of the Tang Dynasty, especially the personal army around the prince. Therefore, in this regard, Chen Gong was most worried about the safety of Prince Li Hong.

When Li Hong heard Chen Gong say this, he smiled slightly, smiling happily and happily.

Chen Gong was puzzled by the fact that there was no news from Wang Fangyi's army. Why did the prince still say he was so happy to laugh, and asked, "Your Highness, are you?"

Chen Gong was a little stupid. Could it be that the Crown Prince was angry? Chen Gong couldn't help but feel angry. Wang Fangyi is so bad, the Crown Prince is so kind to you, how can you do this? You are delaying the Crown Prince's plan and causing trouble for the Crown Prince!

"From the Western Regions to Dafeichuan, a large part of the places belong to Tubo, which is thousands of miles wide. It is too difficult for Wang Fangyi to lead 100,000 cavalry to sneak into Dafeichuan silently," Li Hong said.

Chen Gong nodded slightly, agreeing with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

"But Wang Fangyi did it. Are you alone happy?" Li Hong asked with a smile.

"This--" Chen Gong was shocked and didn't know what to say. He had not received the news that Wang Fangyi had arrived in Dafeichuan. How could Wang Fangyi have arrived in Dafeichuan?

Seeing that Chen Gong was puzzled, Li Hong explained, "How can the Tubo people not know that a hundred thousand troops sneaked into Tubo? If they discovered it, Wang Fangyi would probably send a messenger to send messages to Gu, but now he has not sent anyone to send messages, which means that the Tubo people have not discovered it. He doesn't want to alarm the snake and let the Tubo people know his location. Do you understand?"

After Li Hong said this, Chen Gong suddenly realized it and couldn't help but look ashamed.

Li Hong smiled and said, "Don't think you don't believe it, you're very discouraged. You are different from him. He is a handsome man and a brave general, otherwise the father would not let you be the orphan general of the guard."

When Chen Gong heard the prince say this, he affirmed his ability and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"By the way, is there any news coming from Liangzhou today?" Li Hong asked. Even though he was not worried about Pei Xingjian's guarding the city, he still wanted to have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the northwest.

"The news came, saying that Mani suffered a loss when siegeing the city and wanted to give the army a day off. Unexpectedly, Pei Xingjian seized the opportunity to attack the camp and killed many Tubo soldiers." Chen Gong replied.

"How many were killed?" Li Hong asked, not surprised that Pei Xingjian, who was several times less than Mani, could fight back and win a big battle.

"This—" Chen Gong was a little hesitant, not knowing whether the Crown Prince should say it. Seeing this, Li Hong said lightly, "Tell me, it's no big deal."

"The news says that this attack on the camp, killing 10,000 elite cavalry of Tubo." Chen Gong whispered. Chen Gong couldn't believe the result of this battle, because Pei Xingjian had only 20,000 troops, and he lost a lot of losses in several battles with Mani. How could he kill so many Tubo soldiers in one attack on the camp? Even 10,000 pigs had to be killed for a long time, let alone the Tubo soldiers who were so strong that they were trembling in combat? He didn't dare to tell the prince, because he was afraid that the prince would be angry and would do anything reckless when he rushed down.

However, what Chen Gong did not expect was that when His Royal Highness heard this number, he did not get angry or questioned, but his smile became stronger.

"It's worthy of being Pei Xingjian!" Li Hong said with a smile. This is the famous general in his mind. "Tell Guo Shifeng and others immediately to tell the news. Also, you can send someone to Chu County to make an appointment to send more things to Cheng of Liangzhou, and ask Pei Xingjian to reward the soldiers of the three armies. As for the reward, if the Tubo army is destroyed this time, I will ask him and his father for credit."

"No!" Chen Gong accepted the order.

"You can go down!" Li Hong said. Chen Gong bent slightly and then left the study.

When Chen Gong withdrew, the smile on Li Hong's face disappeared, and replaced by a bitter domineering aura. Destroying Tubo was just a small plan at this stage. He destroyed Tubo, then destroyed Goryeo, Baekje and Silla. The second was to pacify the Western Regions, stabilize the situation in the southwest again, and incorporate the southwest countries into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Then, he used the water fleet to attack Fusang, turned Fusang into a colony of the Tang Dynasty, and then reorganized the army of multiple countries and reserved enough food to fight Europe.

In Li Hong's mind, conquering the European continent was the beginning of his journey of dominance.

Conquer the food and food in black, and then conquer various countries on the European continent, allowing the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty to float in the world, allowing people in the world to speak Chinese, read men, wear Hanfu, and learn the etiquette of the Han people.

This is his goal in Li Hong's life.

The throne of the Tang Dynasty and the struggle with the Empress of Martial Arts were just preparations for future goals.

Thinking of this, Li Hong smiled.

...

In Hezhou City, a small yard is pitch black. As long as an old soldier passes through this yard, he can smell the strong murderous aura inside. Because in this yard, there are many black-clad guards guarding a room with swords. The lights in this room seem very dim, but the words from it are enough to blow up the entire Tang Empire.

Because there are four people in this room, all of them are magnificent monks over forty years old, and what they say is very rude.

"Lu Dongzan said that tomorrow night, let us secretly open the city gate and let his army enter the city. He will capture Li Hong with his own hands." The leader of the four said,

"Didn't we kill Li Hong?" asked the youngest monk in the four grade.

"We have a big target to kill Li Hong. If we kill him, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty and will be retaliated by Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang." The leader explained, "But if Lu Dongzan captures Li Hong alive, we will wait for an opportunity to kill him and put all the charges on Lu Dongzan, what will happen?"

"Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang will fight against Tubo for revenge on Li Hong, and the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will fight to the death."

"Doesn't this give us a good opportunity to rise?" the leader smiled.

The three people in the room suddenly realized, and a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes. They couldn't help but admire their leader.

"You three need to be responsible for this matter personally. Don't be careless, but I won't participate tomorrow night." The leader said. The remaining three people didn't think there was anything wrong with the leader saying this, so they bowed and closed their hands, "Amitabha!!" (To be continued)
