Before Li Ye and others completely walked out of the Qinling Mountains, Song Jiao personally chased after him and informed him of a piece of news that everyone had unexpectedly expected.

"Khitan is preparing to launch an offensive in Kasuga?"

When Li Ye heard Song Jiao's information, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

When the Khitan and Nanzhao envoy met Ma Yin, the agreed time for the reprisal was in autumn, which had been repeatedly confirmed by the spies in the Qingyi Yamen in Changsha. Why did the war suddenly break out early and even half a year ahead of schedule?

Li Ye believes that Song Jiao has repeatedly confirmed such an important military situation, otherwise she would not have reported it to her and would have chased her in person.

Li Ye asked in a deep voice: "Are the Uighurs, Dangxiang, Shatuo, Nanzhao and other troops also preparing to launch an offensive in Chunri... or in other words, at present?"

Song Jiao's face was very rare and pale. "After the spies in the Qingyi Yamen in the West Building first received the news that the Khitan would launch a war in the near future, I sent great monks to investigate in depth. After mutual comparison and verification, I confirmed that the vanguard army of all parties will launch a surprise attack on the border in the near future!"

Li Ye thought for a while and asked again: "What's the situation in Changsha? Ma Yin is also planning to do something in spring?"

Song Jiao shook her head, "This is a strange place. The Qingyi Yamen has confirmed countless times in Chu. Ma Yin's plan to raise an army is still in autumn. The old subordinates he secretly summoned, as well as the people, food and fodder he summoned by his old subordinates, have not been fully prepared. Not to mention that there is no possibility of raising an army in the near future even in summer!"

After a pause, Song Jiao added: "Khitan, Uighurs, etc. have been preparing for war since last winter. All actions are in order. Qingyi Yamen has a certain grasp of these situations. To our surprise, they are still hiding deeper actions with openly making great preparations, because they are very hidden and the identity of the person in charge is extraordinary. Our people cannot contact them and cannot detect them in time."

Song Jiao was very ashamed.

Li Ye breathed a long sigh, "Aunt Song doesn't have to feel ashamed. The Qingyi Yamen is not a god. Being able to find out the real time of action of all parties in time has given the dynasty the opportunity to deal with it, which is enough to say that it has worked hard and made great contributions."

The war is about to begin. The difference is that it will no longer be attacked by Li Ye unilaterally, but will be fully launched. In other words, the situation of attacking Tang across the world will still happen.

It even happened.

Li Ye went to Chu in person this time, with the fundamental purpose of comforting the people of Chu and Lingnan, taking the opportunity to gather the luck of the people of the two places and increase their own cultivation. Otherwise, he would not have to go out in person.

In Li Ye's prediction, there would be no big upsurge in traveling south to Chu this time, and there was no plan to mobilize the Chang'an Imperial Army - the recent mission of the Chang'an Imperial Army was to follow Li Ye to the north after Li Ye pacified Chu and Nanzhao.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed like this at this moment.

Ma Yin thought that he had received the support of Khitan and Nanzhao and could achieve his achievements in the south while the Tang Dynasty was in trouble. However, he did not know that Khitan was just using him as a pawn that confuses Li Ye!

He sent an envoy to Chu to contact Ma Yin secretly. Yelu Abaoji never thought that he could hide it from the Qingyi Yamen. He wanted to use this matter to make Li Ye think that the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty took place today in autumn, which made Li Ye be neglected to be on guard!

In this way, when the Spring War suddenly came, the Tang Dynasty, which was not as good as guard against, faced with wars everywhere. Even if Li Ye had the ability to reach the sky and the earth, he would have to be in a hurry and be in a difficult position to deal with the war and eventually embark on the road of destruction!

When the war suddenly came, although Ma Yin was not prepared enough, he had to fire the arrow on the string. He just started a rush to raise an army, and his achievements were destined to be limited.

In other words, Ma Yin was able to disrupt Chu, which would have the effect of causing Li Ye to be in trouble internally and externally. Once Li Ye was defeated, he would have no strength to fight with the Khitan, which would hinder the Khitan's plan to annex the Central Plains, and would soon be destroyed.

This is a plan of killing three birds with one stone. When Li Ye thought of this, he had to admire Yelu Abaoji's wisdom.

He looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "It seems that we underestimated our opponents before."

Song Jiao remained silent, Wang Jian looked ugly. Everyone realized how severe the challenges the Tang Dynasty faced was now.

Only King Qi waved his hand and said domineeringly: "I'm afraid that it will do something, and the soldiers will block the water and flood the soil! Don't say that the border war has not yet started yet, even if the war has already broken out in full swing, is the Tang Dynasty afraid of these jackals, tigers and leopards?"

As soon as she said this, everyone except Li Ye looked at her with a strange look.

At this time, only Li Ye is the only one who can speak so passionately and not be affected by fighting spirit at all.

King Qi was originally a hot-hearted person. After the victory of Hexi and Liangzhou, his self-confidence was unprecedentedly high and his domineering spirit was raised. Now even if there was a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of him, she dared to scream and rushed forward with a gun.

Li Ye laughed, "With King Qi here, the Tang Dynasty is naturally not afraid of any provocative enemies."

As he said that, he looked at Song Jiao: "When will the vanguard army of all parties go out?"

Song Jiao said in a cold voice: "Comprehensive clues discovered by the Qingyi Yamen, one month earlier, two months later."

Li Ye nodded and said to King Qi: "You don't have to go to Chu with me. You will immediately return to the capital, take the Langya Army as the vanguard, and head north quickly. Within one month, Dangxiang and Shatuo tribes must be defeated! I will send someone to the Tatar tribe and the Yellow Head tribe to send a message to them to support them from the grassland."

King Qi looked excited and clasped his fists and said, "Receive the order!"

When a large army set out to fight, it required food, grass and weapons. It took a lot of time to march from Chang'an to Xiazhou. Li Ye's military order was extremely strict and could not be achieved at all in normal times.

But the current situation is different. Li Ye originally planned to attack Dangxiang and Shatuo after returning from Chu. Before the troops were moved, the food and grass were taken first. The logistics and supplies had already gathered on the front line, and there was no need to be temporarily dispatched.

The Wolf Tooth Army is mainly composed of elite cavalry. When food and accommodation are properly arranged in various prefectures and counties along the way, the soldiers can be as high as possible.

However, in one month, it was only enough for the Langya Army to arrive in Xiazhou and Yunzhou. Li Ye asked them to defeat the enemy within one month. It was obvious that they wanted them to speed up their march and win in one battle. The task was arduous, you can imagine.

Only Langya Army and King Qi can complete such a task without Li Ye going out in person.

After King Qi turned around and flew back to Chang'an, Li Ye said to Wang Jian: "Our trip south was originally intended to solve the hidden dangers of Chu and Nanzhao. All the troops and horses of the Xichuan Jiedushi have been in place. After you go to Shu, you will immediately lead the army to the dangerous place. If you can break into Nanzhao before Nanzhao launches an attack, it will be better.

"The Qingyi Yamen will give you the mountains, rivers, geography and military map of Nanzhao. As long as you can seize the opportunity to attack, you will not worry about becoming a headless fly in Nanzhao."

With King Qi going north and going north, Wang Jian naturally would not admit defeat. Everyone is the king, and no one can lose to the other party. Otherwise, how can he gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty in the future?

Wang Jian cheered up and said with his fists: "Don't worry, Wang Jian is in Shu!"

Li Ye nodded slightly and asked Wang Jian to take a team of Qingyi Yamen to go to Shuzhong by himself.

After everyone left, only Song Jiao and a group of great monks were left beside Li Ye.

Song Jiao thought about it and suddenly said, "Ma Yin was used as a cover by Yelu Abaoji to confuse you. Now the war is about to begin. Do you think Ma Yin has been abandoned by Yelu Abaoji, or have he arranged a trap pocket there and waiting for you to drill?"

Li Ye glanced at Song Jiao: "There will be any traps?"

Song Jiao did not answer directly, and said without rushing, "We have underestimated Yelu Abaoji for the first time, so we can't underestimate him the second time. Since Ma Yin was the chess piece he took out for us to show, it is possible that we might solve him early..."

Li Ye smiled, "How else can he plot against me? Send a great monk to ambush me?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Ye had already jumped out, "If there is really a trap, I want to see if I was put into the bag of Yelu Abaoji, or if Yelu Abaoji could not steal the chicken and lose rice!"

......

Ma Yin has become more and more proud of the spring breeze recently.

The treasures and goods that the Khitan promised to give him had been shipped to Changsha, and his old subordinates did not disappoint him. They successfully turned the goods into money and grain, and armed batches of people.

Nowadays, his old subordinates are secretly practicing the recruitment of Zhuang Yong in various places. Sometimes, in the name of traveling, Ma Yin went to various places to inspect the training results of the department, and saw scenes that satisfies him.

Because of the sufficient preparation time, Ma Yin had detailed plans for his uprising.

Of course, all the brave men would not gather together, but would be scattered in the important places he had designated. When he uses the power of the Khitan envoy to cut off the power of the imperial court in Changsha and change the flag of the city head, his subordinates from all over the country would launch at the same time and conquer important prefectures and counties.

In this way, Ma Yin can reap the greatest results in the shortest time and quickly take Chu territory into his control again. At that time, he will be the king of Chu territory, and with a shout, he will be able to lead the Dongting Lake navy down the river and capture Jiangdong and other places.

If the war goes well, it only takes half a year to see Ma Yin confidently sweep across Jiangnan.

Only in this way can he run ahead of Khitan and Nanzhao, develop and strengthen his power, and take the lead in the final world competition.

Time is the most important thing. Ma Yin knows very well that he must be quick.

However, on this day, the Khitan envoy suddenly told him that they were leaving Changsha for a while.

Because there was a rebellion in the grassland, they needed to rush back to quell the rebellion. They told Ma Yin not to worry, and swear to swear that it would not take long to quell the rebellion in the grassland and they would be able to come back soon.

On the one hand, Ma Yin did not want these Khitan monks to leave. After all, his strength was not strong enough, and he had no ability to resist risks after the other party left;

But on the other hand, Ma Yin did not want to stop the Khitan monks from leaving, because only by getting rid of the other party's sight could he better cultivate his great monk's power, so as not to have no ability to deal with it when the other party counterattacked.

After sending away the Khitan envoy, Ma Yin was in seclusion for three days.
