Chapter 71
Three days later, Bian Hao issued an order to march into Yiyang. It was noon. Bian Hao ordered the three armies to advance with great fanfare. Of course, the news soon learned that the Yiyang defenders had sent cavalry to Changsha and Hanshou for help.
It takes four days to get from Xiangyin to Yiyang. In order to win the fighter plane, Bian Hao ordered the army to hurry up. At night, Bian Haoran's army was stationed to rest, and Li Yin and Bian Hao and others were chatting by the bonfire.
"Mr. Bian, we can arrive in Yiyang in a few days. Are we really sure to win the battle?" Li Yin was still a little worried.
"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Prince, even if we lose this battle, I will send you back safely." Bian Hao said expressionlessly.
"It seems that there is no certainty to win after hearing what General Bian said?" Li Ji asked.
"It's not that I, Bian Hao, are afraid of death, but I'm always worried about the prince here." Bian Hao expressed his concern, "and..."
"You don't have to worry about me." Li Yin said.
Bian Hao shook his head and said, "Prince, if you have any mistakes, I cannot explain to the emperor."
"Actually, there is another reason why General Bian is worried?" Li Ji asked with a smile.
Bian Hao smiled faintly: "I can't escape Lord Li's eyes. In fact, tonight is a difficult situation. According to the information I received, Yiyang has sent cavalry to Hanshou and Changsha for help. According to our plan, we should send an army to ambush Changsha reinforcements at this moment..."
Li Ji continued, "But you have no access to it?"
Bian Hao smiled dismally: "From the beginning of the previous emperor, the Southern Tang Dynasty began to govern the country with civilization. There were few foreign wars, so few permanent generals were available."
Li Ji laughed and said, "You don't have it, but the prince has it!"
Li Yin said strangely: "Me?"
Bian Hao was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you talking about Wang Zhen?"
"yes!"
Bian Hao nodded and said, "If he had taken action, I would be relieved. I just don't know if the prince is willing to give up?"
When Li Yin heard that he knew Bian Hao wanted to use Wang Zhen, he said, "I can't bear to let go of this, Wang Zhen!" Li Yin shouted. Wang Zhen stood not far behind Li Yin, and heard Li Yin calling him to come over quickly.
"Prince, you call me?"
Li Yin smiled: "It's not me, it's Mr. Bian!"
Bian Hao said directly without hiding it: "Captain Wang, I have something you need to do."
Bian Hao opened his marching map again, pointed to a location on the map and said, "This place is a hundred miles south of Yiyang, which is the only place from Changsha to Yiyang. Look, this is a great road, surrounded by mountains, Changsha reinforcements will definitely pass through this place without going around other roads. So, I hope Captain Wang, you will lead a team of 10,000 people to ambush the mountain near this place. If their army passes by, I hope you can wipe out the reinforcements!"
Li Yin said: "Since there are only 20,000 people in Changsha, he will definitely not send many troops. This battle should be easy, right?"
Li Ji reminded: "Prince, the difficulties are behind you!"
At this time, Bian Hao continued: "After annihilation of the enemy, we went south and conquered Changsha as fast as possible, sent a small number of troops to garrison, and then returned to the side of Yiyang to gather and conquer Yiyang!"
Li Yin frowned and said, "This is probably really not easy. What if it fails?"
Bian Hao also said in embarrassment: "Yes, if it fails, the overall plan will be vain."
Wang Zhen straightened his waist and said, "Please rest assured, Prince and General Bian, I can definitely complete the task!" Hearing that he had the opportunity to kill the enemy on the battlefield and was the main general, Wang Zhen was very excited for a moment, and the spear in his hand seemed to wail.
"Things of the world are unpredictable, but we have no other way. Captain Wang, please order the troops to set off." Bian Hao waved his hand and said.
Wang Zhen was about to leave, but Li Ji continued: "If I order a general to assist Wang Zhen again, will the chance of winning be greater?"
"Who?" asked Bian Hao.
"Li Ling."
"no!"
"Why?" Li Ji was puzzled.
"If Li Ling leaves again, there will be no one around the prince." Bian Hao explained.
Li Yin said, "It's okay, Mr. Bian, am I not going to be two hundred personal soldiers? That's enough, nothing will happen."
Li Ji also advised: "General Border, great efforts are the most important. I will never leave the prince, even if I die, I will not let something happen to the prince."
Pan Dong, who has been busy with logistics recently, also interrupted: "Where is me, I will swear to protect the prince!"
Bian Hao was also moved by their loyalty, and finally agreed: "Okay. Call Li Ling first, I want to explain this to him personally."
After a while, Li Ling came to the bonfire, and Bian Hao said to him: "Captain Li, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you and Captain Wang." Bian Hao told Li Ling about the matter, and Li Ling naturally agreed with emotion.
Unexpectedly, Li Ji said: "Since that's the case, we should consider the overall situation. General Bian, in this way, there are 3,000 cavalry in the army, so let them."
"What do you mean?" Bian Hao was a little puzzled.
Li Ji explained: "Since their place is the real battlefield, we must naturally bring the combat power there. In addition, after annihilation of enemy reinforcements, in my opinion, it is enough for them to only bring the three thousand cavalry to Changsha. The rest of the troops came back to have a peace with us."
"Is this okay?" Li Yin asked.
"Okay!" Li Ling said affirmatively, "Captain Wang's hand should be able to deal with it, not to mention that I have my own idea!"
Li Ji smiled and said, "Haha, I know you have many ideas. If you weren't smart on Junshan, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out. I haven't thanked you yet!"
Li Ling said embarrassedly: "What are you talking about by Lord Li? You are so polite when you are all your own people. In the end, you convinced them!"
Bian Hao's expression became serious: "No need to delay, you can set off."
When Wang Zhen and Li Ling heard about it, they hurriedly bid farewell to everyone. Bian Hao ordered the deputy general to accompany them to order troops, and the deputy general obeyed the order and went with them. (To be continued)
