Chapter 499                                                             

At the beginning of the New Year, the weather in the Jianghan area was still a bit cold. The bare trees stood one by one below, and there were sounds of war drums coming next to it. From a distance, soldiers were running enthusiastically on the training ground in the east. Their rows were so strict and their shouts were strong. From this, you could feel the strength of this team.

At noon, the sun was hanging high and exuded a warm atmosphere. The light shone on the land with the cold wind, and also on the cheeks of the soldiers who were practicing sweat. The soldiers were even more passionate under the sun. Two or three people were only interested in each other, each looking full of energy, as if ready to rush to the battlefield to make achievements at any time.

Next to the training ground, there were tents of different sizes. Looking around, it seemed that small hills rose up, like hilly landforms, and there was one of the largest tents. There were three or five soldiers standing next to the tent. As expected, this should be the place where the commander of the army discussed countermeasures.

In the camp, what caught my eye was an extremely wide long table. There seemed to be a layer of paper on the long table. There were three people standing next to the long table. One of them pointed at the table with a long ruler from time to time, as if discussing something with each other.

Just like on the long table is a beam-land topography map that costs a lot of money. All the terrain of the beam-land is marked on the map, such as small hills, woods, and troughs, and some other terrains are marked in very detailed detail.

"Report to the Major General, and there are scouts outside who come to report it."

The soldiers outside shouted quickly.

As soon as he heard the scout on the front line asking for information collected, Li Erlang put down the long ruler in his hand and replied: "Okay, let him come in."

When the scout heard Li Erlang's reply, he quickly turned over and dismounted and walked into the camp quickly.

"Major General, Mr. Fang, Captain Wang," the scout quickly bowed and leaned into his arms, put his hand into his arms, took out the secret letter of information in his arms, and then presented it to Li Erlang with both hands.

"Good job, go and have a rest," Li Erlang picked up the information letter and waved his hand to signal.

"Subordinates surrender."

The scout quickly bowed and turned around and walked out of the tent.

Li Erlang opened the secret letter, took out the paper with information written on it, and opened the folded paper, and saw dense but very detailed signs of the beam land. There were even military defenses for the main cities of Liangdi, as well as the defense chiefs of each city.

After Li Erlang finished reading it, Ou immediately handed it to Mr. Fang beside him.

Seeing the detailed description of the information, Mr. Fang put away his folding fan: "Your Highness, I was divined once yesterday. The hexagram shows that we will win a great victory in the attack on Liangdi. Today, we see such detailed enemy information. This fully shows that our time has come. We can first line up the three young masters to take the lead, and then take down the main city of Liangdi in one fell swoop."

When Li Erlang heard Mr. Fang's words, he clapped the table and said with a smile: "Okay! With Mr. Fang's accurate divination and detailed information on Liangdi, I will definitely be able to capture the Jianghan area in one fell swoop this time."

Speaking of this, Li Erlang immediately turned around and said to Captain Wang, "Person Wang, immediately lead a team of people to hand over to my third brother Yuanba, let Yuanba take the lead, and you are ready to intercept Liang Jun who wants to escape."

"I understand," Captain Wang hurriedly bowed his hand, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, a horseman outside the camp turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly shouted: "There is an expedited letter from the King of Tang, and I will hand it over to the Major General."

"Um?"

Li Erlang was a little confused about why his father contacted him at this time, but there was no strange look on his face and he said to the outside of the camp: "Let him come in."

After receiving the order, the soldiers outside the tent immediately let go. The post station personnel hurried into the tent and submitted a letter to Li Erlang with both hands.

Li Erlang reached out and picked up the letter, opened it. With just a glance, he scanned it and said that his father wanted him to return to the palace to reunite, saying that his mother was seriously ill and overly missing her children, so her condition could not improve for the moment.

Li Erlang waved his hand to let the postmen leave, then sat on the seat next to him, silently chanting the contents of the letter. The more he read, the more he frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He reached out and handed the letter to Mr. Fang, a counselor, who was beside him, and said to him: "Mr. Fang, take a look, Erlang doesn't understand his father's approach."

Mr. Fang put away the folding fan in his hand, took the letter with both hands, and looked down at the content of the letter. After a while, he raised his head, with a serious expression and said to Li Erlang: "Major General, your situation is not very good now."

"oh?

Please help me solve my doubts," Li Erlang felt nervous when he heard Mr. Fang's words and quickly opened his mouth to ask.

Mr. Fang smiled slightly and said, "If I guess correctly, it should be that Erlang, you are too popular recently. You have defeated the Turks and protected the Sui Emperor back to Beijing, so you were jealous of others."

Li Erlang frowned and knocked on the armrest of the seat with his hand, his face a little bad: "Sir, I said that I overshadowed my elder brother's light, so I was resentful of my elder brother."

Mr. Fang nodded and continued, "So I feel that the eldest son is afraid that the King of Tang will make you the successor, so he sent someone to deliberately spread rumors and deliberately let the King of Tang hear them, which will create a gap between you and the King of Tang."

Hearing Mr. Fang's detailed explanation, Li Erlang fell silent for a moment. He lowered his head, with a little distressed expression.

It seems that my elder brother wants to get rid of me. It seems that brotherhood is not like brotherhood. After all, this is still a real brother. I have never wanted to compete with my elder brother for the heir to the throne, but my elder brother regards me as a roadblock! Li Erlang sighed helplessly, looked up and asked Mr. Fang, "I wonder what trick do you have?"

Mr. Fang's expression was a little complicated: "In my opinion, the major general should obey the orders of the King of Tang and immediately return to the capital with the third prince."

Li Er smiled bitterly: "I'm really unwilling to give up!"

Putting the urgent letter back on the case, Mr. Fang sighed: "In order to eliminate the suspicion of the King of Tang, I can only do this, otherwise the prince may have other tricks."

After saying that, he walked forward to Li Erlang and whispered in his ear for a while.

Li Erlang's brows relaxed and wrinkled for a while.

Finally, he sighed deeply and stood up, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I will act according to the teacher's will. It's up to you, Mr. Liang. I will contact Mr. from time to time."

Mr. Fang then clasped his fist with his right hand, pressed his hand and said, "Leave it to me, I will definitely live up to the high hopes of the young master."

"Okay," Li Erlang was relieved and patted Mr. Fang on the shoulder and said to the Captain Wang who had not left before: "Go and invite Yuanba to come and say I have something urgent to discuss with him."

"I will accept the order," he heard Li Erlang's order, the captain quickly bowed his head and replied, turning around immediately, and strode out of the tent.
