But he said that Zhang Chengliang's army did not continue to pursue them. They camped on the bank of the Qi River and sent people to salvage the bodies in the river. These were brothers who had been with him at the border for many years. Zhang Chengliang was heartbroken when he saw them.
As a general, Zhang Chengliang is not a civilian official, and he is not good at intrigues. But he has been a soldier all his life. He has read countless books on military tactics and gone through various drills countless times. If Li Tian and his public
In a battle, he dared to fight even with equal forces, but this kind of angry fighting style made him very suffocated. He was really afraid that if he continued to fight like this, he would be angry to death even if he didn't die on the battlefield. Now
Since he was ill and bedridden, he could only report it to Qian Fu and send someone to temporarily take over.
Zhang Chengliang's illness freed up precious time for Li Tian. His troops and equipment in Chaodu were not yet ready, and the personnel currently recruited by Pingdu did not have much combat effectiveness, so they could only use a short period of time to strengthen the city wall. The magic stick is now also
He gave full play to his privileges as a divine envoy and issued divine envoy orders to temples across the country, calling on the people to rise up and fight against the rebels.
The failure of Zhang Chengliang, the vanguard army, greatly stimulated the Qian brothers, especially Qian Gui and Zhou Zhong. As soon as they heard the word Li Tian, they gritted their teeth with hatred and wanted to lead people to destroy Li Tian no matter what.
’s old nest.
Qian Fu re-adjusted his army and divided his troops into six groups to advance to the east. Qian Gui and Zhou Zhong led an army of 200,000 people straight to Chaodu. In half a month, Qian Fu's army swept through most of Da'an.
The emperor's recruitment of troops in various places is also going on nervously. In the current situation, except for the lords of the nine fiefdoms of Da'an, who are still able to resist, the defense capabilities of other places are just a show-off. Of course, except for Chaodu,
This secret weapon.
Li Tian is now in charge of Pingdu, issuing various orders, and Lao Gao's various chambers of commerce play a big role. After all, Qian Fu's rebels are from Da'an, and they are not invading from abroad. They have implemented a policy of peace and security for the people in the occupied areas.
Li Tian had a powerful information network, and through the rapid transmission of the Bird Clan, he was able to control every move of the rebels.
Knowing that Qian Fu divided his troops and advanced together, Li Tian also discussed countermeasures with the generals. Wang Ping's generals were worried. In their opinion, Qian Fu's six-pronged army cooperated with each other and sometimes surrounded them in front and behind, making it impossible to escape.
, more difficult to deal with than together. Li Tian is not so artificial. Now that the enemy's forces are dispersed, their strength is relatively weakened. It is just right to concentrate the superior forces and eliminate them bit by bit. This is Chairman Mao's strategy.
This strategy was unanimously approved by everyone, and the magic envoy also strongly supported it. Anyway, no matter what Li Tian said, he would just say, "Okay! Not bad, I have the same idea as me, and I agree with it." Those who didn't know thought Li Tian had agreed.
Tian is reporting work to him.
After the meeting, Li Tian received intelligence that Qian Gui and Zhou Zhong's 200,000 troops were advancing towards Chaodu. Although many cities on the road put up weak resistance, it was estimated that Chaodu would be reached in seven days.
Huang Rong also sent news from the capital, saying that preparations had been made in Chaodu, and told Li Tian to rest assured that the enemy troops could be completely eaten, and that His Majesty the Emperor and all the ministers were properly arranged.
As soon as he received the news, Li Tian was still a little worried. After all, the emperor and ministers were there. As the Grand Marshal of the country, it would be difficult to explain if something happened. Moreover, those in Chaodu were familiar with the military formations.
There were not many generals, and they would not obey the orders of the generals in the court. If they acted recklessly, they would suffer great losses. After discussing with Wang Ping, Li Tian decided to leave his troops and horses to Wang Ping to garrison Pingdu.
Guo Jing rushed to Chaodu to take charge. Now Zhang Chengliang's vanguard army has been reorganized, and there are only more than 300,000 troops stationed on the banks of the Qi River. For Wang Ping, defending the city should not be a problem.
Li Tian and Guo Jing didn't dare to delay. Of course, there was a stickman who was as good as brown sugar. He had to follow him. According to his words, Li Tian owed him money and he was the creditor. He couldn't let this guy run away.
The three of them went straight to Chaodu without stopping.
There was a certain reason why Qian Gui and Zhou Zhong dared to go straight to Chaodu. Judging from the information they received, Li Tian and Wang Ping's armies were joining forces and refusing to defend Pingdu. Chaodu was located in a remote area. It used to be
It is a land of poor mountains and rivers. I heard that after Li Tian took office, the economy was very developed and he made a lot of money. However, the military strength was not much stronger. Even if there were people left behind, it would only be ten or twenty thousand people, just to vent some personal anger.
, the second is to gain some benefits.
Li Tian traveled day and night, changing four carriages, and arrived two days earlier than the expensive army. As soon as the god was tired and entered Chaodu City, he asked someone to take him to Li Tian's mansion to sleep, and stayed in the car all the way
It was so bumpy that I couldn't sleep well at all.
Li Tian first went to see His Majesty the Emperor and reported on the situation in Pingdu. The Emperor was very complimentary after hearing this. Now His Majesty the Emperor is temporarily staying in the Governor's Mansion, which has become the Emperor's palace.
After finishing his work with the emperor, he took another look at the city defenses, and after listening to the reports from Huang Rong and the six clan chiefs, he returned home with peace of mind.
Li Tian's parents and sisters Ruyan had been waiting in the hall for a long time. Although Li Tian had not been away for a long time, so many things had happened recently, and everyone was still a little worried.
The family chatted for a while, and the old couple also found an excuse to go back to their small courtyard. They wanted to let the young people have a good chat, so that they could hold their grandson as soon as possible.
Li Tian looked at Ruyan's hesitant expression and knew what she wanted to ask. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father-in-law is doing well. He'll be energetic whenever there's a war. I might give it to you two after the war."
Maybe find a stepmother."
"I'm going to kill you." The two sisters came up and gave them a punch. Li Tian instantly put aside the worries and fatigue of the past few days, laughed and hugged the two girls, enjoying the love of lovesickness.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you doing? It's broad daylight. You're not tired after running for a few days. Have you taken aphrodisiacs? I'll hug you later. I want to ask you something." The damn magician walked into the hall somehow.
.
When the two girls heard this, their faces turned red with embarrassment and they hurriedly arranged their clothes. Ruyan quickly said: "You guys have something to do, Yu'er and I are going back to the room first." After that, she pulled Ruyu and ran out.
Li Tian looked at the magic stick and asked a little helplessly: "You said you won't sleep. Why don't you wait until you wake up to ask?"
"It's such a big deal, I can't sleep." The magic stick was extremely serious.
"Big thing? What? Big thing?" Li Tian looked at him and was a little nervous. What big thing happened.
"Well, that's it. I want to see where you put my belongings, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
When Li Tian heard this, he was so angry that he pressed the magic stick to the ground and beat him violently, "I call you a money fan, I tell you to ruin my good deeds, and I tell you not to sleep~"
The magic stick was also unambiguous and fought back with all his strength, "You owe me money and you still beat people. I have also practiced. I have ### eyes, I have an eye-sealing hammer, I lift my yin palm, I lift my yin palm~I~~~
Come on, someone murdered the envoy~~"
When the servants heard this, they all ran over to see what was going on. They saw the two godlike adults wrestling with each other like shrews, with their eyes wide open and their mouths open, not daring to say a word.
The two people stood up with bruises and swollen faces and disheveled clothes. Li Tian shouted: "What are you looking at? You don't see me and the Divine Envoy practicing. Come out."
Then the two people looked at each other and said together, "animal" and "vile".
The two of them ignored each other for the whole day. During the meal, Li Tian's parents and sisters Ruyan were shocked. Why did the two of them look like this, but no one dared to ask based on their expressions.
Two days later, Qian Gui's army arrived in the Chaodu territory. Qian Gui had already ordered that after entering the city, all supplies would be robbed and all the houses burned. The strong men would be recruited as soldiers, and all the women would be rewarded to the soldiers.
