Chapter 637 Everyone has their own solutions

The wind was strong at night and the rain was drizzling. After five days of forced marching, Li Qing'an's 30,000 cavalry traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived at Fucheng Pass.

The firelight shone brightly inside and outside the city gate. In front of the camp, nearly 10,000 soldiers were neatly armoured, holding spears and knives, holding torches in one hand, and arranged in a strict formation, like a sea of ​​fire. The firelight illuminated the soldiers' faces. In front of the military formation, Li Siye led dozens of generals to welcome Li Qing'an's fall.

"Li Siye, the general!"

Leading by Li Siye, dozens of generals knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Qing'an. On the horse, Li Qing'an clasped his fists to the generals and said, "Thank you for your hard work, please give up on the gift!"

Li Qingan turned over and dismounted, surrounded by dozens of generals, walked into the camp of Fuchengguan. Li Qingan did not go into the tent to rest, but came to the pass in the rain and looked at the other side of Qinshui.

On the other side is Li Guiren's camp. The night is dark and nothing can be seen, but every hundred steps, there is a firelight reflected. Li Qingan silently counted the other party's gazebo tower, and there were twenty-four gazebo towers. From the gazebo tower, you can see the size of the military camp, covering an area of ​​more than twenty miles, and there are at least one hundred thousand troops.

"General, what can't be seen in the night?" Li Siye whispered from the side.

"No!" Li Qing'an shook his head and said in a deep voice: "A lot of information can be seen."

He pointed to the tower and said, "From these towers, you can see how strict Li Guiren's military governed. Look at the distance of the tower, I just estimated that the eight towers were a hundred steps apart, with almost no error. When looking at the torches on the tower, each tower has three torches, which may be extinguished or burned out in the rain, but the number of torches on the tower remains unchanged, which means that the enemy troops in the tower are not sleeping, but are on duty with vigilance. From these details, we can see that although Li Guiren indulged soldiers to commit violence, he was meticulous in the camp and was a strong enemy, so he should not be taken lightly."

Li Qing'an's words made Li Siye surrender. He nodded and said, "The General's observation is not enough for his subordinates."

Li Qingan smiled and said, "When we observed the Muslim army on the other side of the Amu River, I admired you for your careful observation, but why are you a little regressing now?"

Li Siye said silently, and Wei Boyu beside him said, "General Li led the way in his early years, rushed forward every battle, and was injured. He didn't think it was young, but now these old injuries have a great impact on his body, including his eyesight. General Li can no longer see the situation on the other side..."

Before Wei Boyu finished speaking, Li Siye sternly rebuked: "Don't be rude in front of the general!"

Wei Boyu was so scared that he was silent and dared not say much, but Li Qingan was moved and said, "Why is this happening? Why don't you ever say it?"

Li Siye was silent for a long time before saying slowly: "I am only over forty years old, so I am really unwilling to leave the battlefield like this!"

Li Qing'an patted his shoulder and said, "We have fought side by side since the Battle of Xiaobolu. It has been more than ten years. I can't say anything. I am actually like you. I was injured on my shoulder in the Battle of Khwarezm. I can't pull the seven stone bow yet. It's nothing. A real man does not have to fight on the battlefield. Governing the world is also a great cause. After this battle, you will still go back to Hezhong to serve as the governor of Hezhong. I will also be appointed as the Minister of War and let you return with glory."

Li Siye nodded silently, feeling very moved. At this time, Li Qingan asked Wei Boyu again: "What is the situation when you retreated and were ambushed by the enemy?"

Wei Boyu stepped forward and bowed: "It is not good to have a humble position, please punish the general!"

"I'm not going to punish you, I'm just asking you about the situation at that time."

Wei Boyu sighed and said, "It was because of the carelessness of the enemy. At that time, we sent three scouts, but when there were still two scouts, we ordered the army to cross the Nirvana River. As a result, half of the crossing of the river was ambushed by the enemy cavalry. Five thousand cavalrymen rushed to fight. Although they fought to the death, we were defeated because the opponent was very strong and we could not resist. Nearly two thousand brothers were killed, and the remaining more than 3,000 people fled to the north town and county before they could cross the river and flee back."

Li Siye also added: "From the several prisoners of war they caught, they learned that these 10,000 enemy cavalry were the most powerful Yeluohe cavalry among the Yan army."

Li Qing'an nodded and asked again, "How many brothers are there who escaped in the end?"

"Report to the general, there were 5,200 brothers on the east bank of the Dang River, and finally 3,400 people fled back, including 900 wounded soldiers and 1,800 killed."

Speaking of this, Wei Boyu gritted his teeth and said, "Li Guiren's army will not accept surrendered soldiers. In addition to the brothers who fell, there are more than 600 wounded soldiers, and they all killed them!"

Li Qing'an's eyes ejaculated with anger. After a long time, he slowly said to everyone: "Li Guijun not only killed my wounded soldiers, but also massacred more than 100,000 people from Hedong. I now order that this army will not be surrendered, and no one will be left, and all will be killed!"

All the generals bowed together and said, "Abide by the orders of humble duties!"

Li Qingan turned to the city and walked a few steps. He suddenly stopped and turned around to stare at the enemy camp in the distance. A question arose in his heart.

"General Li, the other party should be an army of 180,000. Why do I see that the camp is like a 100,000 people? Is something strange happening?"

Li Siye hurriedly reported: "I was about to tell the general about this. It was strange that the Li Huaixian tribe who came first did not join forces with Li Guiren, but the Cai Xide tribe who arrived later was stationed with Li Guiren's army."

"Where is Li Huaixian tribe now?"

"The 80,000 troops of Li Huaixian's army are now stationed forty miles northeast of the camp. The scouts I sent found that there was no exchange between the two sides."

Speaking of this, Li Siye lowered his voice and said, "When he first came, the two armies were only forty miles apart, but I don't know what happened. Li Huaixian suddenly withdrew his troops to Licheng County. Later, the two armies had no contact. Bei Zhi suspected that there was a conflict between Li Huaixian and Li Guiren, and they were each in their own formation."

"Yeah?"

Li Qingan turned around and asked his aide Wei Qingping next to him, saying, "What is the relationship between Li Huaixian and Li Guiren?"

Wei Qingping thought for a while and said, "Li Huaixian and Shi Siming are as powerful as water and fire, while Li Guiren and Shi Siming are extremely close. Three years ago, Li Huaixian married his daughter. At the wedding banquet, Li Guiren went crazy by drinking, scolding the groom as a Han dog, and chased and beat the groom, causing his right arm to break. For this reason, Li Huaixian and Li Guiren turned against each other and got the reconciliation of An Lushan. The two stopped. In November last year, Li Huaixian sent someone to transport 80,000 stones of grain to Wei Botian Chengsi. As a result, the food was robbed by Li Guiren on the way, and there is no explanation yet. Therefore, the subordinates judged that Li Guiren and Li Huaixian not only had different factions, but also had extremely bad personal relationships."

Everyone was amazed when they saw that Li Qing'an's intelligence had such detailed information. Li Qing'an said to everyone: "I have repeatedly told everyone that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Intelligence is the top priority of the Anxi Army. This knowledge of the enemy is not only the number of troops on the other side, whether the military equipment is sufficient, but also the habits, hobbies and interpersonal relationships between the enemy generals. For example, General Li said just now that he suspected that Li Huaixian and Li Guiren had a conflict. If there is no basis, then this can only be doubt. It may even be the illusion caused by the other side deliberately, which makes us think that they are not in harmony. Only when we have a deep understanding of the other side's past can we make a correct judgment. You have the opportunity to take charge of one side in the future. I hope you remember what I said today. The more thorough the intelligence, the more correct the decisions you make. Intelligence determines the victory or defeat, and details determine success or failure."

Everyone was convinced and bowed together, "The general's teachings are remembered in his heart!"

Especially Wei Boyu, although he was born in Anxi, he did not know Li Qing'an very well. He only understood Li Qing'an's extraordinary talents today, and he couldn't help but admire him.

"Okay!" Li Qing'an said to everyone with a smile: "The army I brought is really exhausted. Everyone should have a good rest tonight. We will discuss countermeasures tomorrow morning."

Li Qing'an's personal arrival cheered the Anxi army. That night, Li Guangbi's 70,000 troops also arrived in the Changping Pass area. He received Li Qing'an's order that he would not have to go to Fucheng Pass to join the army, but would be stationed on the border of Luzhou and be on standby at any time.

An Lushan's army was not silent. On that night, An Qingxu personally led 10,000 troops and escorted 200,000 stones of grain to Luzhou.

Youzhou, Yanwang Mansion, and An Lushan had just received information from Hedong. Because he was too fat, An Lushan's eyes were getting worse and worse. It was a bit difficult to read books and texts, and a literate guard read it specifically for him.

"Your Highness of the King of Yan is above, and Li Guiren reported urgently. Since the commander appointed me as the commander of the southeastern line of Hedong, I was very worried and exhausted every day, but could not sleep at night. All my thoughts and thoughts were annihilated by the Anxi Army and shared his worries for His Highness. Your Highness was afraid that I would be defeated, so I ordered the Northern Line Army to go south to help. Your Highness's heart to protect me made me so grateful that I could only die to repay Your Highness's kindness for knowing and meeting. However, Li Huaixian, the Northern Army, had a grudge and did not obey my command. You were each in battle. I was deeply worried about General Cai. If our army was not harmonious and was taken advantage of by the enemy, the situation would be in danger! I beg the palace to surrender Li Huaixian, or ordered him to return north, and sent another general, Li Guiren kowtowed."

An Lushan had a gloomy face and said, "Remember Li Huaixian's letter again."

The guards opened another letter and said: "My name Li Huaixian reported to His Highness the Great Yan King that Li Guiren was cruel and lewd, and thousands of miles of Chiye. The officials and civilians of Luzhou surrendered. Li Guiren did not accept surrendered people, and slaughtered his city. His wives and daughters were lewd, and the crimes committed by the people in Shangdang City were so scared that they begged him. Li Guiren knelt down and killed him. The corpses were scattered overnight. The mountains and rivers were red, the rivers did not flow, and the roads were blocked. The cruel people in the world did not go out of his right hand. I think the king of Yan was determined.

There should be rules in the world. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. However, Li Guiren slaughtered surrendered people without leaving any more words. I think this is the idea of ​​destroying the people of the world and harming the great cause of the King of Yan. I also heard that Li Guiren got a good horse in Anxi and sent his tribesmen privately, and did not leave the Yan army. In less than three years, the cavalry of Youzhou will no longer be strong in Hebei, and the harm is very profound. This person does not regard the great cause of the King of Yan as the most concerned person, but only cares about his own interests and keeps him. This is a great trouble for the Yan army. I hope Your Highness will take over his military power and exil to the wilderness."

One is to scold the other party for not accepting military orders, and the other is to blame the other party for disregarding the overall situation. An Lushan felt a pain in his head. For a long time, An Lushan pursued this effect. His subordinates were indifferent and had conflicts. He even promoted the two major factions of the Yan army, so that he could reconcile and balance it in it, so as to achieve the goal of controlling his generals.

But today, although the effect is better than before, An Lushan does not want it to appear. He hopes that the two of them can unite and defeat the Anxi Army together. Unfortunately, his subordinates are not dough and cannot be allowed to pinch and knead them. The seeds of conflict he planted with one hand finally bear bad results today.

"Help me up!"

An Lushan struggled to stand up, and the two guards hurriedly supported him from side to side, but this was not enough. An Lushan was too fat, so he couldn't stand up. The thin and close-fitting waiter Li Zhuer crawled under his stomach and tried his best to press his head against An Lushan's stomach so that he could protect his balance and not get out like a ball.

"Good boy, work harder!"

An Lushan finally stood up after all his efforts. He was out of breath every step he took. He needed to walk for a while before he could slowly return to normal.

Li Zhuer is thin and his daily job is to take care of An Lushan's lower body. When An Lushan stood, he squatted down and supported his big belly with his back. When An Lushan was having sex, he could not stand in front, so he pushed An Lushan from behind, and An Lushan's belly was replaced by a woman's fat buttocks to hold the top.

If An Lushan had stood up, he would walk around the room and carry out a warm-up activity before An Lushan's legs would slowly recover and he could support his fat body. But today, An Lushan was not in the mood to walk around and came directly to the sand table.

"Your Majesty, it's here!" The guard who had just read the documents pointed to the west of Luzhou.

An Lushan nodded, "This is Liangmazhai. I have been there before, so I should be a little further ahead."

He pointed to Qinshui with a wooden pole and said, "This is Qinshui. I remember that Fucheng Pass is right next to Qinshui. It is a very dilapidated city wall, but it cannot be set up on the battlefield..."

An Lushan said a few words to himself, and he suddenly said a little angry: "Why can't you intercept the Tang army and prevent them from passing Qinshui?"

No one dared to speak. Although An Lushan was fat, he was not lenient. When he was angry, he would be beheaded.

"Pig!"

"I'm here!" Li Zhu'er hurriedly approached and said, "What are the instructions of the prince?"

"I'll ask you, who did Li Huaixian listen to?"

Li Zhu'er smiled flatteringly and said, "Of course Li Huaixian listened to the prince."

"What about besides me?"

Li Zhuer scratched the back of her head and thought for a while and said, "Apart from the prince, he should be the prince."

"You mean Qingxu?"

"Yes! I heard that Li Huaixian and the prince have a good relationship. He should be able to listen to the prince's words!"

An Lushan slapped his forehead and said that he was confused. Isn’t An Qingxu in Hedong? Isn’t it enough to ask him to go to Luzhou as the main general?

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered: "Transfer my order and ordered An Qingxu to lead 10,000 troops to go south immediately and serve as the Grand Marshal of the Southern Line!"

An Lushan finally found a solution to the conflict between Li Huaixian and Li Guiren. He was quite relieved. At this time, he felt a little sleepy and yawned and said to Li Zhuer: "Zi'er, I'm going to take a nap, help me into the room!"

"yes!"
