Most people who lick blood with their swords care about a word of mouth. Liu Badao tried to deny that Li Mi was the real dragon emperor mentioned in "Tao Li Zhang", but by some mistake, the destiny was assigned to Li Xu. If this matter is really true,
Prophecy, the outcome of the coalition forces is going to be very bad.
At the moment, Gao Shida and Liu Badao did not dare to continue this topic. However, they secretly made a plan in their hearts. If they found that the situation was not good, their troops would never fight against the Boling Army. The surnamed Li only rose from a small soldier to a general.
It took five years, and at this rate of rise, it is not impossible that he will be the next True Dragon Emperor. Since ancient times, those who oppose the True Dragon Emperor will not end well, so even if the opponent is the true Emperor, the possibility is only
Three points, Gao, and Liu also had to be very energetic to deal with it.
The two of them were suspicious in Wulu City, but they did not realize that the danger had quietly come. Tomoyo Wangbo's analysis was very accurate. The surge of Hutuo River and Zhulong River created huge obstacles for the mobilization of troops and horses. If the officers and soldiers
Forcibly crossing the river could easily be discovered by the scouts on the west bank in advance. However, the continuous autumn rain and the swollen river water also blocked the sight of the scouts. According to the news they heard, the two groups of Sui troops were still in the camp in front of the White Horse Slope.
Repair. In fact, the two Sui armies had already braved the autumn rain and quietly arrived at Boye County, which was only forty miles away from Hejian County, but separated by two rivers.
In Boye County, Li Xu and Yang Yichen intercepted the latest movements of the bandits sent by Wulu County Magistrate's confidants. In order to prove the accuracy of the news, Wulou County Magistrate Shi Defang deliberately bit off his middle finger and wrote in white silk:
A letter written in blood. He begged Generals Yang and Li to cross the river as soon as possible to relieve the people. When the army arrived, he would lead his servants to risk their lives and open the city gate in order to bring the bandit leader to justice.
"Which way does Zhong Jian think we should deal with first?" After ordering the messenger to take him down to rest, Yang Yichen pointed to the bloody book on the desk and discussed with Li Xu in a low voice.
"The rogue bandits don't have a strong fighting spirit. No matter which group we take first, the other two groups will definitely flee!" Li Xu answered directly without thinking.
After more than a month of contact, both parties have a certain understanding of each other's temperament. Before meeting, Yang Yichen originally suspected that Li Xu had the ambition to support the military and respect himself, but now he feels that the young man just has unique ideas and a little strange behavior.
It's just reckless. When I was in the same age group, I acted willfully and rarely cared about the consequences. But after being in the officialdom for a long time, I gradually accepted the rules and would no longer easily touch those who would break my head if I touched them.
The bottom line of blood flow.
Moreover, the measures Li Xu took in Boling and other places did have the effect of stabilizing the local area. You said that whether he used the means of resuming scientific research and farming to win over people's hearts, or to exclude dissidents, the six counties under his rule were
At present, it is the most peaceful Taoyuan in Hebei. Not only are there no longer large groups of bandits harassing the place, but many refugees from other counties and counties also drag their families and families to run there. If all counties in Hebei can behave like they did under Li Xu's rule, Yang Yichen feels that he will
You no longer have to worry about your future being compromised all day long.
In Li Xu's eyes, Yang Yichen is also a senior who is worthy of friendship. Although the other person's background and experience are very different from his, and his views on things are often inconsistent with his. But what is rare is that the old general is very broad-minded and never relies on
Age and the family behind them come to pressure people.
The only difference between the two men so far is their attitude towards prisoners. When a rogue bandit falls into the hands of Yang Yichen, there is usually only one fate. This delays the battle to annihilate Zhao Wanhai for a long time. Many rogue bandits would rather see Yang Yichen's soldiers and horses on the battlefield.
He would die in battle rather than lay down his weapons and become a prisoner.
Li Xu persuaded Yang Yichen many times, but the other party always responded by saying that the Buddha was holding a sutra in one hand and a sword in the other. He did not appreciate Li Xu's overflowing compassion, just as Li Xu did not appreciate his toughness. In addition, the two
When people work together, they complement each other.
Precisely because of their mutual trust, the two communicated without too much red tape. They were completely straightforward in the manner of military commanders, without caring whether the other party was resentful of an occasional offence.
"General Li is not old, but he has a big appetite!" Yang Yichen felt that Li Xu's answer was very suitable for his temper, so he commented with a smile.
"I hope that this war will last for at least two years of peace! If the local people can live a stable life, they will not be easily co-opted by the bandits." Li Xu nodded and frankly admitted that he wanted to have a big decisive battle. Qijun suppressed bandits.
His experience told him that only by inflicting severe injuries on the bandits can they completely cut off their prying eyes on the place. Just attacking and running away would not teach the bandits a lesson. It has been almost two years since Zhang Xutuo was transferred to Xingyang, and now he has
The area around the county is still in order, thanks to the old general's reputation that day.
"I also have this intention. Gao Shida dared to come to the door this time, obviously because he was anxious about the two of us joining forces to kill Zhao Wanhai. He came just in time, saving me from looking for him in the plains. Luo Ziyan didn't know Ande in Jixian
What's the intention? Sooner or later something will happen to Hebei. We don't have much time and we don't have time to waste time with the bandits!" Yang Yichen stood up and sighed looking at the gloomy sky outside the window.
For him, there is not much difference whether the bandit army is 400,000 or 200,000. Five thousand people are enough to stalemate it, and eight thousand people are enough to defeat it. Luo Yi, the chief manager of Tuyouzhou who is eyeing the north, is the most urgent need.
The Tiger and Ben cavalry under his command are the elite left behind by the great general Wang Yang Shuang. Although they number only five thousand, they have never been defeated in a battle.
However, the rogue bandits' behavior of always fighting behind the scenes was very troublesome. Yang Yichen did not think that Luo Yi had colluded with the bandits in Hebei Province, but the Youzhou Army and the Hebei bandits had always cooperated in a very tacit understanding. That year, Xue Shixiong fought against
Dou Jiande and Luo Yi immediately took the opportunity to seize half of Zhuojun. He led the Sui army to threaten Youzhou, while Zhao Wanhai, Gao Shida and others continued to make trouble behind them. When the officers and soldiers returned to Hebei, Gao Shida and others
It's soaring far away after hearing the news.
In his several years of suppressing bandits, the most troublesome thing for Yang Yichen was the ability of the bandits to escape. Gao Shida, Ge Qian, and Wang Bo were all defeated by him, and every time he could easily beat them to the ground.
But as soon as the bandits fled into the mountains and swamps, he was immediately helpless. A few months later, the bandits who had recovered their strength would appear in another county, and it was too late for him to lead his troops to intercept them.
The ability to capture Zhao Wanhai in one fell swoop this time was all due to the Boling Army's timely attack and blocking the Zhao thief halfway. Yang Yichen didn't care whether Li Xu's actions of leading the Boling Army in full force had the purpose of preventing himself from crossing the line.
. Being able to successfully eliminate a group of thieves and stabilize his own retreat, this result is more important to him than anything else.
At this moment, in Li Xu's mind, the threat from the north was far greater than that from the south. Based on his experience following Zhang Xutuo in Qi County, he did not think that the menacing Gao Shida and others could cause any big storm. Wang Bo's troops
Although the three-way strategy seemed perfect, the execution ability of the bandits was really doubtful. Like Yang Yichen, he also regarded the Tiger and Ben cavalry entrenched in Jixian County as his life-long rival.
The image infiltrated almost all of his dreams when he was young, but now he is always preparing for a life-or-death showdown with the idol of his life back then. Asahi doesn't know whether he should feel lucky or unlucky.
He needed more time to prepare. Even if he trained all the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses on hand to be as elite as the Xiongwu Camp, he was still not sure that he could block the Tiger and Ben cavalry heading south. That was a threshold he had to face.
If he cannot pass this threshold, he will never be considered a qualified general.
"Alas!" Thinking about their own concerns, the old man and the young man sighed together.
"Is Suichang (Lucheng) strong enough?" Looking at each other, the two asked exactly similar questions.
Xu Zi smiled and made a polite gesture of invitation. Yang Yichen pointed out the window without politeness and whispered: "I am renovating Lucheng, and my goal is in the north, not in the south!"
"The walls of Suichang City have just been reinforced during the off-season this year. The field envoys under my command have also built many forts outside the city. With the rogue bandits' ability to attack fortresses, they will not be able to break through the city for a while. But I think Wang Bo is more difficult to deal with than others...
." Li Xu paused for a while and told the truth about the situation at the farming site in the southern part of Boling.
The autumn harvest has been over for nearly a month. With the enthusiasm of those scholars who have just got the opportunity to display their talents, all the food must have been put into the warehouse long ago. As long as Wang Bo cannot break the Sui Chang City, he will basically get nothing. But he can't
Allow anyone to destroy your hard work in any name. Five and a half counties, including Boling, have just restored peace. Any losses caused by negligence will once again destroy the people's confidence in rebuilding their homes.
"You want to fuck Wang Bo first?" Yang Yichen heard the implication of Li Xu's words, frowned, and asked.
"I think the old general and I will work together to block Wang Bo east of the Hutuo River. Since he dares to cross the river, we will use this opportunity to trap him. With a river blocking it, it will be difficult for Gao Shida to get the news of Wang Bo's defeat!
"Li Xu nodded and suggested very methodically.
"Then we will penetrate into Raoyang with lightning speed and block the bastard Gao Shida in Wulu!" Yang Yichen's eyes brightened obviously, and he speculated along the meaning of what Li Xu wanted to express.
"Then we will catch the turtle in the jar and capture the boss alive!" Li Xu smiled and said the next plan. "Once Wang Bo and Gao Shida are defeated, Yang Gongqing will definitely have to flee back. Let's intercept them head on.
, either he goes to Youzhou to provoke Luo Yi, or he obediently fights us!" (To be continued)
