Take the difference between the rebels and the Shu rebels.
Li Ke will definitely not accept rebels into his command.
After all, as long as he accepts it, everything he said about Qing Junzi in the first place will be bullshit.
At that time, some changes will occur both in the army and in Shu.
At this time, internal changes occurred, which Li Ke would definitely not be able to bear.
Therefore, Li Ke will definitely not accept this group of rebels.
But if he said no, how could Li Ke be willing to push them away directly with more than 30,000 people in front of him?
Therefore, it is very likely that he gave the rebels an ambiguous and ambiguous attitude to achieve the purpose of controlling the rebels.
Li Chengqian looked directly at Yuchi Jingde and said, "Isn't Uncle Yuchi curious about why I brought such an elite cavalry unit to a place without any war?"
yes.
Yuchi Jingde was surprised by this, so he asked hard about the reason.
However, he didn't say this clearly.
"It's not that I'm curious, it's just that I feel that iron should be used on the edge of a knife."
"And the Bingzhou cavalry is the most powerful cavalry of the Tang Dynasty."
"If they are not allowed to go to the battlefield and are instead allowed to garrison the city, they will be overqualified and underused."
Yuchi Jingde scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Especially since these children came all the way from the north, we must give them a chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also laughed.
"Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds and fight in battles."
He said: "Besides, who said I wouldn't let them go to the battlefield?"
"Didn't His Highness say that they should go to Suzhou?"
Yuchi Jingde said: "There is no battle to fight in Suzhou, and..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused.
Then, he looked at Li Chengqian with a surprised face.
I know he figured out the reason.
Li Chengqian also smiled and said nothing.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly turned around, lifted the curtains of the car and looked south. …
The rebel side.
When they marched westward, they sent messengers to Shu in advance to negotiate with Li Ke.
After all, they were going to seek refuge with Li Ke, and they had to check Li Ke's attitude in advance.
However, things did not progress smoothly.
Just as Li Chengqian expected.
Li Ke didn't want to bring this trouble to himself.
He looked straight at the counselors under his tent and asked, "Do you think we should accept these people?"
"Your Highness, these people must not be accepted."
Under Li Ke's tent, a counselor named Tian Cong said directly: "If we accept them, we will be rebelling, and the people will definitely be resistant to our army."
"That's right."
Another counselor named Zhang Zhongyuan also said: "But if you don't accept it, you won't accept it, but you have to make some attitude."
"After all, they have thirty to forty thousand troops."
"If we directly break up with them and cause them to jump over the wall and affect our plans, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Zhang Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes and said: "So this matter needs to be discussed in the long term."
Li Ke knocked on the table.
He said: "Zhongyuan is right, this matter needs to be considered in the long term."
"but……"
"I heard from the messenger that they severely damaged one of Li Chengqian's troops and even injured Li Chengqian himself."
Li Ke looked back at the map and said, "Where do you think he is now?"
Hearing this, the counselors looked at each other.
Finally, Zhang Zhongyuan said: "I think he should go to the Jiangnan Camp. After all, His Majesty will go on a personal expedition this time, and he must go to see him no matter what."
"That's right."
"Even if he doesn't want to go, as my father
As for his favor, the emperor will definitely transfer him there to comfort him."
Li Ke sneered.
It seemed that he had thought of something unhappy, and the expression on his face became extremely gloomy.
But soon, this expression disappeared.
He suddenly raised his lips and said, "Suzhou City is an inland city and has not experienced war for many years."
"There are not many soldiers and horses defending the city, and the equipment used to defend the city is not perfect."
"And as far as I know, when Li Chengqian was supporting Runzhou, he also transferred many soldiers and horses from Suzhou to the front line."
"Where can I find my grandpa, my sister, and his relatives..."
Li Ke narrowed his eyes and said, "What a great opportunity for a sneak attack..."
"Even if we can't capture Suzhou City, it would still be good to capture Grandpa Huang and use up Suzhou City's defensive strength."
Li Ke looked at the crowd and said, "What do you think of my plan?"
All the people present are smart people.
How could they not know that Li Ke wanted to use the rebels to attack Suzhou City?
At that moment, everyone nodded again and again.
After all, this is the only way to do it.
This not only saves you the trouble of negotiating with the rebels, but also avoids contact with the rebels.
They captured Suzhou City, and they could completely get rid of the relationship.
It would be better if they can't take it. While letting them fend for themselves, it can also help our own side consume Jiangnan Road's troops.
All in all, it is much better than directly accepting the other party, or directly rejecting the other party.
At that moment, Li Ke didn't hesitate at all. He called the messenger from the rebels and told him his demands.
The requirements are the same.
It is nothing more than asking these rebels to take advantage of the fact that the imperial army has not yet gone to Suzhou, and use a time lag to seize Suzhou City as early as possible and control Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, and the family members of Li Chengqian.
Only in this way will Li Ke believe in the sincerity of the rebels.
r>
And what about the rebels?
Do they still have a choice now?
No matter how reluctant they were, they had to do what Li Ke asked.
After all, they do lack a certificate of nomination.
Previously, they had planned to use Li Chengqian's head or Li Chengqian to make a declaration of surrender.
But didn’t Li Chengqian run away?
Now, they can only listen to Li Ke's words.
And when the messenger brought the news back.
After a brief discussion, a group of rebel generals turned their spearhead and targeted Suzhou City.
Originally, Wen Tong was extremely reluctant to do this.
After all, the imperial court has Bingzhou cavalry. Once our side moves Suzhou City, their support will arrive immediately.
If our own side still wants to attack Runzhou City, if it is hindered in the early stage, it will fall into the endless pursuit of the Bingzhou Army in the later stage.
But Mr. Lu didn't take it seriously.
He said: "Now, Suzhou has become a refugee camp."
"The refugees from the northern part of Jiangnan are now in Suzhou."
"We can let some of the sergeants disguise themselves as Nanmin and sneak into the city first."
"When my army arrives and we let them find the right opportunity to attack, it will not be difficult for us to break through Suzhou City."
"Besides, our army also has General Zhenguan's artillery, what do you have to worry about?"
After all, they had all seen the power displayed by General Zhenguan's artillery.
As long as they have this weapon to destroy the city, do they need to worry about anything else?
When the time comes, if they just blow up the defenses of Suzhou City when attacking Runzhou, wouldn't they be able to enter the city in large numbers?
That was true, but Wen Tong still had some hesitation in his heart.
Judging from his encounters with Li Chengqian during this period, he always felt that things were not that simple.
After all, Li Chengqian is not a brainless person.
Couldn't he have imagined that his side would take the opportunity to sneak attack Suzhou City?
