In the Golden Palace of the capital of Da'an, the Empress Dowager personally issued an edict, ordering Marshal Wu Fei of Da'an's army to personally lead an army to defeat the rebel Li Tian and conquer the Chao capital.
After the decree was issued, many of the old ministers in the palace shook their heads secretly. Thinking back to when the Qian brothers rebelled, it was Li Tian who sent people to rush into the palace and saved the royal line.
Later, at the critical moment, Li Tian was ordered to save the whole Da'an. Moreover, Chaodu was their refuge at that time, and now they are going to attack them. Alas, it is difficult to argue between loyalty and traitor, and people's hearts are not ancient.
At the same time, Ghost Military Advisor Yang Sheng was also arranging the troops and horses in his hands.
"General Zhang, this time you lead the generals to attack Chaodu. You must act expeditiously. Just shout and don't fight and wait for news. If Wu Fei breaks through Li Tian's east defense line, then you will attack Chaodu's west defense line with all your strength.
, this fake cooperation with Wu Fei has turned into a real alliance. If Li Tian defeats Wu Fei's attack, then you will fight in Pingdu and seize this important location." Ghost strategist Yang Sheng specially arranged for Zhang Bing
.
"Master Military Advisor, why don't you go out in person and capture Chaodu in one fell swoop? In this case, you will save a lot of trouble in the future."
"Old Zhang, now Wu Fei says he is cooperating with me, but who knows if he is sincere. If I send out all my troops to go to Chaodu, maybe he and Li Tian will steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix. Li Tian and I will fight head-on, but Wu Fei will fight directly
Take my capital and the capital, and by then it will be too late for us to rescue.
There are several advantages to my arrangement like this. First, whether it is true or false, there will be no harm to my noble family and the dynasty. Second, if Wu Fei comes to attack my capital, I will be there to guard him whether he comes or not. Third, as long as
Wu Fei's troops are defeated, so I will send my troops south and directly destroy Da'an. Fourth, even if Wu Fei wins, it will definitely be a tragic victory. Without Li Tian's restraint, I can't deal with Wu Fei.
.
Now the people of the world still think that Da'an is orthodox in their hearts. Our Guihe dynasty has just been established and has not yet captured the hearts of the people. Therefore, destroying Da'an is very powerful for the development of our Guihe. Even if Wu Fei has many soldiers, if he wants to win
Li Tian, hum! It’s not that I underestimate Wu Fei, he doesn’t have that ability yet.” Yang Sheng finished speaking to everyone in a leisurely manner, with the style of a Confucian general, and everyone who listened admired him.
In Chaodu, Li Tian did not dare to be careless. He had just received news that Wu Fei was personally leading 600,000 elite troops to attack Chaodu this time. However, Yang Sheng only sent 200,000 troops to the western front.
In the meeting hall, Li Tian looked at the civil and military officials in Chaodu and issued a very formal military order for the first time.
Due to the withdrawal of veteran Wang Ping, Li Tian readjusted the ratio of troops and horses. Now the total strength of Chaodu's regular combat troops is only 600,000. Facing Wu Fei's 600,000 elites, Li Tian did not dare to be careless and led the troops personally.
An army of 300,000 sniped at the eastern defense line. Li Tian was the commander-in-chief of the east-route army, and the vanguard officer was Feng Toltai. The commander-in-chief of the west-route army was Zhang Guihua, who led an army of 100,000 to the west to stop Yang Sheng's army. His deputy was Wang Ping's subordinate.
Yuan Xu, a general from his hometown, was a calm man and experienced in doing things, so Li Tian still felt at ease with him. As marshal, Huang Rong commanded 200,000 mobile troops to garrison Chaodu and take charge of the overall situation.
Before leaving, Li Tian specifically visited Huang Rong and arranged some details.
"Sister Huang, the success or failure of this war is related to the fate of our survival in Chaozhou, so we must not underestimate the enemy. What I am most worried about is the Western Front. Listen, if Zhang Guihua is defeated on the Western Front, the six tribes will
The civil defense may not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, once Yang Sheng actually launches an offensive on the Western Front, you must mobilize all mobile troops to support him. You must not let Yang Sheng get any results. The whole army must fight to the death to let them know our determination. This is the only way.
, Yang Shengcai did not dare to act rashly." Li Tian also expressed his worries.
"Don't worry, sir. Regardless of whether it's the east or west road, if there is any mistake, I, Huang Rong, will pay back the enemy's debt with blood even if I am shattered to pieces." Huang Rong said with cupped fists.
"No, no, Sister Huang, you are wrong. Just focus on the west route and leave my east route army alone. If my east route army is defeated, you will definitely not be able to rescue me."
"Sir? What are you??" Huang Rong looked at Li Tian in shock.
"Sister Huang, don't you think about it. If my east-route army is defeated, Yang Sheng will never sit back and watch the fun. He will definitely do things to add insult to injury. So, as long as you hear that my east-route army is defeated, your mission is not
For rescue, we should concentrate all the mobile troops and move them into the mountain through the secret passage. Don't worry about my life and death, we must preserve our strength.
As long as we still have soldiers and horses in our hands, we will one day avenge our brothers who died in battle. If we all fight hard, there will be no place to find anyone who wants to take revenge."
"Sir, what if~??" Huang Rong didn't say anything. Li Tian's status in Chaodu was unmatched. If Li Tian died in the battle, Huang Rong really didn't know if the people of the six tribes would listen.
own orders.
"Sister Huang, I know what you are going to say. Don't worry, that guy and I have no other abilities, and few can match our ability to run away. I will never be stupid enough to die in a battle, leaving nothing behind.
What a good name. This is an order I wrote. If this happens, you can use it to order the six tribes." After saying that, Li Tian took out a secret letter and handed it to Huang Rong.
"Sir, take care!" He didn't say much. The four short words represented Huang Rong's heavy mood.
"Sister Huang, I leave my family to you." Li Tianye said solemnly.
Huang Rong nodded and didn't say anything. She felt very heavy and really didn't want that kind of scene to happen.
With all arrangements in place, Li Tian's east-route army marched ahead of schedule and marched toward the alliance city in a mighty manner.
However, not long after leaving the city, Li Tian's east-route army separated into a small team of 3,000 people, all dressed in civilian clothes, and headed straight for Pingdu under the leadership of Guo Jing.
Li Tian specially arranged for Guo Jing to lead the berserkers he trained, disguised as various people, sneaked into Pingdu and waited for the opportunity.
If Guihe's army comes to attack Pingdu, mobilize the masses in Pingdu City to fight to the death. If Zhang Guihua's army comes to attack Pingdu, spread rumors to panic the people in the city and look for opportunities to open the city.
The door should be closed inside and outside.
In short, Guihe's army cannot be allowed to take the lead. Even if they attack by force, they will suffer heavy losses. When the time comes, Zhang Guihua will take it from their hands.
However, Li Tian did not expect that this time Yang Sheng's arrangement coincided with his own, calling the army from the West Route to attack Pingdu. The brother and sister were attacking the same city. It was hard to say who would occupy Pingdu by then.
Three days later, Li Tian's army arrived at the alliance city. After entering the city, Li Tian and the magic stick hid in the tent and never showed up again, and all military affairs were handed over to von Toltai.
It had just entered the severe cold winter, and the surroundings from the city wall were desolate. However, Feng Toltai was full of energy, arranging city defenses, patrolling various camps, and had long been waiting for Wu Fei's arrival. If Li Tian had not issued a death order, he was not allowed to leave the city.
To meet the enemy, von Toltay had already drawn his troops thirty miles outside the city and lined up to wait.
In the Chinese army's tent, Li Tian and Shen Gun were gathered around the stove, roasting a freshly roasted pheasant while they were roasting.
As soon as the magic stick took a bite of the chicken drumstick, he kept cursing, "###Better, Wu Fei and Yang Sheng, these two bastards, haven't been around for years. If you want to beat them, wait until it gets warmer after the New Year."
Then again, I won’t have to suffer this crime.”
"Gun, I want to ask you, if Da'an is really destroyed, will you feel uncomfortable?" Li Tianye asked while eating.
"Oh, to be honest, Da'an is the place where I was born and raised after all. It's impossible to say that I'm not sad. If the old emperor hadn't died, I would never ask you to start a war with Da'an. But now the old witch is in charge
, the last time I changed my father, you saw that boy Wu Fei was so good that he didn’t even know what his last name was. If we destroy Da’an now, we are doing something good for the people.”
"Well, that's true. If the old emperor doesn't die, I don't have any ideas. The most I can do is build the Chaodu City and live and work in peace and contentment. Now that I think about it, it's really the empress dowager who forced me to do this."
"Li Tian, how sure are you of defeating that boy Wu Fei?"
"No, not sure at all."
"Damn! You kid didn't tell me earlier. My life is in your hands. Damn, if I had known this, I might as well have gone to find my sweet-scented osmanthus."
The two of them were eating, drinking and chatting when they heard a report coming from outside, "Master Qi, there is news from the scouts ahead that Wu Fei's troops in Da'an are still less than sixty miles away from our alliance city. It is estimated that two
It will arrive in due time."
"Hahaha, we're finally here, oh my god, I've ordered you to fight in person in the first battle."
‘Plop~’ The magic stick sprayed the sip of wine he just drank into Li Tian’s face, “What, ask me to fight in the first game!”
