Yangshui area, Deyang, as the news of the invading enemy might be the north of the Great River dispersed, it turned out that the scattered Zhongbiya army suddenly became purged in the past few days. A large number of checkpoints were added near Deyang. The small officers led the team no longer wore casual clothes, but put on a battle jacket. The iron sheets on the leather armor were polished brightly. They pressed the sword around their waists all day and walked around. When they saw the scattered soldiers, they shouted loudly.

After this purging, a little bit of an army suddenly appeared.

In the main hall of the military, the leaders of each army sat upright

Tang Shui, who was on the main seat, took a deep breath, glanced over the faces of the generals, and said in a deep voice, "It is basically confirmed that the enemy that attacked us should be the Emperor** north of the Great River, because according to reliable information, the Emperor** north of the Great River has indeed crossed the Great River, and the cavalry of the former cavalry has already killed in Dengzhou and other places outside the Yanghe River, which is completely consistent with the range of attacks our army."

"Is it the Emperor?"

"What's going on?" The generals looked ugly. In the attack report a few days ago, they thought it was done by refugees, so when they received the order from Tang Shui to reduce defense, they all believed that Tang Shui, a general who was the commander of the Imperial Guard, was completely fussing and never saw the world. The army of 100,000 people was not a joke. It turned out that there were seventy or eighty miles of defense. Because of this order, there were only less than twenty miles left.

"General, there is no error in intelligence, why did the Empire suddenly attack us?"

Inside the general, Luzhou General Luding was the first to sit down and asked the first time. Luding was wearing thick black armor, with a tall appearance, with a pair of thick eyebrows, and his eyes were burning. He was full of momentum. The Luzhou Army belonged to the most elite troops in the southern army of Zhongbya. It has been responsible for suppressing southern mountains for decades. It is a sharp knife for Central Asia to shock southern mountains. Although the military equipment is not top-notch, it is also considered excellent. In the two imperial battles, the Luzhou Army did not participate in the war. Later, the Song clan entered the court and the Luzhou Army retreated from the south, so it is also the most confident among the troops.

"It should be related to the court seizure of the entire Li family."

Tang Shui groaned coldly. He felt anger once when he said this. The war broke out inexplicably, but for some reason that could not be said, the 100,000 Zhongbiya army could only wait here. He glanced at the generals with a confused look on his face and continued, "When the seizure was detained, Li Tai died, and now the head of the Empire on West Dijing Road is Li Yuehua, Li Tai's daughter. I think everyone should understand."

"hiss!"

In the hall, there was a sound of breathing

"how so?"

"The Li family was actually detained by the entire clan. Lord Li Tai died! When did it happen?"

There was a deep discussion, Luzhou general Luding looked even blue, and his tight fingers made a giggle. No wonder the Empire would suddenly go south with all its might, and act like a life-and-death battle with Zhongbyia. Within a day, the defense line of Zhongby's runner-up, which was stationed in the local area was sieve, and almost all the attacks were defeated. If General Tang Shui had not made a quick decision and ordered the entire army to move closer immediately with Deyang as the center, the situation would have been even worse. Everyone originally thought it was the empire's unreasonable provocation, but who knew that Zhongby's reason was the loss. This news was too sudden. Even the generals of each army's heart seemed to be flooded with ice water at this moment, and it was cold.

"I originally thought that Emperor* was just preparing to make a small fuss, but I didn't expect it to be so big!

"Who said no? This time I was really killed by the civil servants in the court!"

"What are these ministers in the court doing crazy? The revenge of killing their fathers, and the life and death of the entire clan. Even if anyone is replaced by anyone, they will definitely be angry. Besides, the head of the empire in Zhongbiya. It's a pity that the Li family has devoted themselves to the Central Bian court for a hundred years, but in the end it ended. If it weren't for the Li family outside, the entire clan would have been wiped out quietly," Lu Dingzang, the general of Luzhou, was even more angry and scolded in a low voice.

A gloomy general stood up from his seat and said with a grim expression, "Lu Ding, what do you mean? It is Your Majesty's will to seize the Li clan. The Li clan colluded with foreign clans and betrayed the interests of Zhongbiya. The evidence is conclusive. The seizure of the entire clan has been for the crime. Your Majesty has been in charge of the conspiracy of the Li family for many years! Don't think that we don't know that your Luzhou army is just a local army, but can maintain the position of the lord of a region. Isn't it because Li Tai said something for you at the court meeting that year that made you gain the military, political and financial power of Luzhou like the rebellious Long family. Otherwise, what qualifications would a mere Luzhou army have to stand here to talk to us!"

"Haha, I thought it was, it turned out to be a dog." Luding looked at the general with a sarcastic look on his face, "What a sarcastic look for years of friendship. If it weren't for Li Long, I wouldn't know where Your Majesty is now. Now Your Majesty returns south and thanks the Li family. It's really open! If it was to resist the enemy's advance south, even if all the Luzhou army was killed in battle, it would be fine. However, it was to protect the private fields of the ministers in the court. It had nothing to do with our Luzhou. Tens of thousands of Luzhou children did not have the responsibility to work hard for the private fields of the ministers. In this Yangshui, our Luzhou army will not be protected. If you want to stay, please stay by yourself." Luding stood up and walked out of the military tent directly.

Luding, you actually made a fuss about Your Majesty's decree, and you actually have sympathy for the Li family, who colluded with foreign tribes. Today, I will definitely report to Your Majesty word for what happened, and you wait!!" The general who was ridiculed by Luding, saw that Luding was not afraid of him at all, and his whole body was trembling. When the other generals saw him like this, none of them chose to ignore him.

The general was named Ji Xianggu. Although he was also a military minister, he always regarded himself as the ministers of the court. He had no ability to fight. He had never even been on the battlefield for several years. The Long family retreated to the southwest. In order to monitor the remaining Zhongbi runner-ups, the ministers of the court sent this person, called the contact between the army and the court, which was actually to help the ministers of the court look at these private fields.

Such people, not to mention that Luding is so powerful, even other generals disdain to ignore such a powerful army. As Luding said in the past, this is just a dog.

"General, the war is imminent, and the arrest of Luding without authorization may cause fluctuations in the army. It is true that Luding is the local military leader, but the Luzhou army has control over the entire Luzhou. Although it is not as domineering as the Long family, it is not arbitrarily able to insult."

"Yes, in fact, Luding is still loyal to His Majesty. He has such a reaction, not only because the Li family once supported the Luzhou army, but also because the Luzhou army owed a favor from the Li family. When the Yelu family carried 300,000 grassland people to the south, they once surrounded tens of thousands of Luzhou corps in Yanzhou. It was Li Tai who asked the emperor to change his mind to defend Yanzhou and agreed to the Luzhou army to withdraw from Yanzhou, which was considered to be the lineage of the Luzhou army. Otherwise, although the Luzhou army was not decisive in Yanzhou, it was definitely lost. "There are people in the generals who kept standing up to plead for mercy, and Tang Shui's face also looked a little better. I have to admit that among these generals, the real ones who can fight are not the kind of flattering generals who hold the thighs of the court, but the generals who understand the situation in front of them, who are not related to the ministers of the court, but also have sympathy for the Li family.

After all, the Li family advocated full resistance in the two catastrophes of the imperial capital. Moreover, when the military officials were criticized for the disastrous defeat in the imperial capital, Li Long, a child of the Li family, abandoned the civil servants who were easily granted the high position of civil servants, but joined the list of military officials who were looked down upon by civil servants, supporting the generals to continue to fight.

The ministers in the court only knew to command behind and waved Fang Qiong at a map. They really thought that the enemies were all under the feather fan, and the masts and oars were destroyed. A few of them had really been on the battlefield, what was the flesh and blood battlefield, what was the human flesh and blood win, have they seen the scene of the generals fighting bloody battle on the front line, and the three-level blood was defeated. It was the credit of the civil servants' command, and they lost. It was the crime of unfavorable command of the military ministers. It was Li Long who entered the military cabinet and withstood the random command of the civil servants, which made the Linhang battle in the later Linhang. The two sides were considered to be equal in strength. If the emperor had not escaped suddenly, the Yelu family would not have been able to fight southward.

"Luding's past is arbitrated, let's talk about it. What should our army do this time?"

Tang Shui's eyes flashed. He was the commander of the Imperial Guards, with a high status and a Tang clan. However, he had never had a wise result in a real war of such a level. The total number of the entire royal guards is on the list, which is only 3,000 people. Excluding those who have been slaughtering their salary, the total number of them is more than 2,000. Now it is a battle of 100,000 people. It is a big jump. Tang Shui himself is in a mess. Fortunately, although these generals are not considered outstanding figures, they have not had any ability in the conflict with the Grasslanders for several years. Those who have no ability have already fed the Grasslanders' butcher knives. The remaining people can also be regarded as good generals and veterans after the Great Waves in the Middle Bible runner-up.

"General, if we go south this time, our army is not afraid, but if it is the emperor, our subordinates will be determined to avoid the edge." A general hesitated for a moment and said in a narrow voice.

"Avoid the edge for the time being?" Tang Shui grinned coldly. "I said so easily before, and I immediately suggested evacuation. What is this!" The general, the Yelu family and the empire were completely different. Our army was able to fight against the Yelu family because we had fought for a long time, and everyone had mastered some tricks. Even the Yelu family, who had been powerful at the time, had only stopped at the southern edge of the river. It seemed that it was stagnant because of the crushing defeat in Yanzhou. In fact, it was because our army was becoming more and more adaptable to the tactics of the grassland people, greatly reducing the breakthrough ability of the grassland army. It was strong crossbows.

At the end, it was still in vain. However, our army had never fought against the empire. Since the Battle of Annacuo two years ago, the empire entered Zhongbiya, and even the grassland royal court in the north was scared away. Last year, the battle of the empire's wilderness, hundreds of thousands of grassland people in the northwest were still swept across the front of the empire's expansion tank. Hundreds of thousands of grassland people became vassals of the empire. The situation of the Yelu family, which was at its peak, reversed and fell into division. The southwest Long Family Army, which rose like a hurricane, showed its powerful combat power as destructive as it was when advancing north, and was eventually crushed by the emperor ** in Kaishan.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the combat power of the Long Family Army is enough to represent the peak of our runner-up, but how can we even fight the Long Family Army?" The general said with a trembling voice with a trembling defeat. "What's more, when the Empire fought with the Long Family, he defeated the Long Family with his inferior forces. Now, it seems that we are at a disadvantage."

"You mean we can't win, so just give up the Yangshui area?" Tang Shui reached out and touched his nose. He also felt that staying in Yangshui and the Emperor's decisive battle was a very stupid act. From a geographical perspective, Yangshui Land, as the largest grain-producing area, has a large area of ​​impact plains, which is almost an excellent battlefield for the fierce imperial cavalry. The Zhongby runner-up is completely a pure infantry army, but before the court orders, even General Tang Shui,

He didn't dare to order the army to give up the Yangshui area without authorization, so this seemed very passive! The Emperor* team had already gone south, like a sharp knife hanging upwards towards his neck. Before speaking, he had to do his best to move his neck away. This life-threatening neck would be fine if it was another place, and he could run away if he couldn't beat it, but it was the Yangshui area in front of him. Tang Shui knew that if he really abandoned the Yangshui area, he would probably not have the chance to go back to the court!

"General, I know that the Emperor is coming towards Yangshui, but I am the runner-up of 100,000, but I cannot choose to retreat and avoid the edge. I can only wait for the Emperors to crush him at Yangshui... Please be determined by the General." The general looked at Tang Shui's hesitant face and begged loudly.

"Please be decisive"

The other generals also stood up and fought against the empire, and they were really unsure.

"It's funny. You people are actually generals of Zhongbiya. No wonder they were beaten by the grassland people in the two battles in the imperial capital. After all, you are afraid of death." Ji Xianggu stood alone, looking at the generals, with a hint of contempt on the corner of his mouth, and said disapprovingly, "You know, these fields are all private fields of the court ministers. If something goes wrong, can you keep them? In fact, what if the emperor goes south? I don't believe that the emperor really dares to attack us. It's just a few cavalry. My 100,000 troops in Zhongbiya have local benefits. As long as you can protect these foods, all the generals will get benefits!" "Ji Xianggu!" The generals looked angry. When is it, the imperial army may come over at any time. If you don't evacuate, you're afraid there will be no chance. Ji Xianggu still wants the army to protect the private fields!

"Sweep" the door of the hall was pushed open from outside, and a messenger cavalry covered in dust walked in from outside, with the red flag of the military newspaper in his back, walked to Tang Shui who was sitting on the main seat, and handed over a letter of order with both hands. "Sir, the order of the court, the army must protect the food in the Yangshui area anyway."
