Chapter 500: Defending and Internal Change (4)

Dozens of mid-level and senior generals had gathered in the county government office hall. The arrival of dozens of generals including Li Xun immediately aroused the attention of many people.

Wang Renzhi and Zhao Feidu sat closest to each other.

Zhao Feidu's face was ugly, very gloomy, and he said nothing, while Wang Renzhi kept talking, obviously trying to persuade him.

"Master Wang, I know everything you said, but Li Xun is too arrogant. What qualifications does he have to dictate to my military camp?"

Zhao Feidu was indeed very angry. Not long ago, Li Xiao told Li Xun that he should free up half of the military camp for the people who were driven out. Li Xiao's tone was very tough. Zhao Feidu couldn't help but support him at that time.

He went back, but this was Li Xun's territory after all. Zhao Feidu was still a little wary, and he spoke powerfully, but he didn't dare to do anything to the people surrounding him, and things were stuck there for the time being.

Wang Renzhi advised: "The war is coming. We should cooperate sincerely and be united in dealing with the outside world. If you have any dissatisfaction, we will talk about it later. Just give Li Xun a face. General Zhao, don't make the matter a deadlock. That will do no harm to anyone."

benefit."

Zhao Feidu had a sullen face and said sullenly: "I know everything Mr. Wang said, but I really can't live with this face."

Wang Renzhi wanted to persuade him again, but at this time, a soldier ran in, cupped his hands and said: "Sir Wang, Wuzhou Jiedushi Li Xun has arrived."

Li Xun has arrived.

Everyone present suddenly became quiet. This is Wuzhou, Li Xun’s territory. Wang Renzhi summoned officers above Zhonglang General to come to discuss matters. Gu Yong and Zhao Feidu both arrived soon. Only Li Xun and

Many of his generals have never arrived, which makes people have a lot of wild ideas.

After a moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Li Xun strode in. Behind him, more than 20 generals followed closely.

Wang Renzhi looked at Li Xun with a smile and said warmly: "General Li is here."

Li Xun bowed his hand as a courtesy.

Hu Xian and Gu Yong stood up, bowed their hands in greeting, and their attitudes were very polite. Without Li Xun's help, Gu Yong might not have been able to escape Shanzhou, but Hu Xian had nothing to say, and Li Xun entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

, whose courage is so great that one cannot help but admire him.

At this time, the generals present reacted and stood up one after another to salute. Maybe they didn't have any friendship with each other, and maybe there were many people who hated Li Xun, but it didn't matter. Things in the army depended on strength. The current situation,

Li Xun is the strongest, and this is his territory. No one dares to treat Li Xun lightly.

Li Xun smiled and greeted everyone, and then found a place to sit down.

Wang Renzhi glanced at everyone and said quietly: "Everyone is here, let's start discussing."

The Tubo army is approaching. At this time, it is said that we should actively prepare for defense instead of calling all the generals here for discussion. However, the situation has changed. An hour ago, the scouts came to report that the Tubo army did not march quickly, but slowed down its march.

, occupied and plundered the entire seven states in the west of Longyou.

This is easy to understand. After several years of transformation by Li Xun, Wu'an City has now become the most complete and powerful city in the entire seven states in the west of Longyou. Tubo did not successfully intercept it halfway and eliminated Li Xun and other main forces.

Then the opportunity has been lost. If you want to capture Wu'an City, it will not be a matter of time. And now there is only an isolated city like Wu'an City in the west of Longyou. There is no way out and there is nothing to rush.

Wang Renzhi briefly introduced the situation of Tubo. They were occupying the city and were busy looting and raiding. They were not in a hurry to come to Wu'an City, which gave everyone a chance to breathe.

Later, Wang Renzhi asked everyone to talk about the number of troops under his command.

The 20,000 troops brought by Gu Yong from Shanzhou broke out and joined Li Xun. The losses in the two battles were not too great. He still had 15,000 troops in hand. Zhao Feidu's 7,000 troops plus Huang Liangyi's troops

There are also about 2,500 cavalry, almost 10,000 people, which is 25,000 people.

Liu Tan has nearly 30,000 soldiers, nominally belonging to Wang Renzhi. Logically speaking, Liu Tan and Wang Renzhi should be the strongest.

But the actual situation is that in addition to the 6,000 cavalrymen of Gao's headquarters, after several battles, there are now only 4,000 people left. In addition, Liu Tan has nearly 25,000 people in his hands, except for those he brought with him.

There are five thousand soldiers in the headquarters, and the remaining 20,000 are new recruits. Many of them are not Han people yet. Now with the Tibetan invasion, desertions are serious. Liu Tan and others are helpless. When they arrive at Wu'an City, they

Almost all the new soldiers in his hands fled, leaving only 5,000 soldiers in his headquarters. Gao You was unruly and had a strong personality, so he was not controlled at all. Therefore, strictly speaking, the troops in Liu Tan and Wang Renzhi's hands were only 5,000.

People, and Wang Renzhi is the highest official in name in the entire Longyou Road, but his strength is the smallest, which puts him in a very embarrassing situation. This is why, although Wang Renzhi does not like Zhao Feidu, he

The reason why we should proactively win over him.

Wang Renzhi did this not to exclude anyone or to fight for anything. He was once the Prime Minister and had a prominent reputation. In such a situation, he has the responsibility and responsibility and cannot be marginalized. If that is the case, he cannot stand it.

The above adds up to almost 30,000 people.

Let’s talk about Li Xun. He led 30,000 soldiers to Shanzhou. He fought several battles and won successive victories. Although he achieved good results, the casualties were equally heavy. When he returned to Xiaogu County, there were only more than 12,000 soldiers left.

, then led his headquarters to cut off the rear, fought and retreated, and more than 5,000 people were killed in the battle. When they returned to Wu'an City, only 7,000 people were left, plus the more than 15,000 people originally left behind by Zheng Chun, a total of nearly 1,000 people.

Twenty-three thousand people.

Today, the total number of soldiers and horses in Wu'an City exceeds 50,000.

Hearing the numbers reported by the generals, Wang Renzhi's heavy heart suddenly felt much better. He originally thought that having an army of 40,000 would be good, but now when he heard the number, it turned out to be more than 50,000. In addition, the walls of Wu'an City were high and thick.

, facing the Tibetan army of nearly 200,000 people, it is not without the ability to fight.

Li Xun was the last one to speak. Most of the generals present looked at him with admiration in their eyes after listening to Li Xun's report. Thirty thousand people went to Longyou North Road and defeated many with less on several occasions.

He defeated the Tibetan army and rescued more than 20,000 people including Gu Yong who was trapped in Shanzhou, and then led his own troops to cut off the rear, leaving only more than 7,000 people in the 30,000-strong army. What he did is worthy of everyone's admiration.

Compared with Li Xun, Zhao Feidu's expression was a little unnatural. Although no one said anything, many people looked at him with not so good eyes. Some people looked at him with contempt, some with disgust, and so on, if it weren't for Zhao
