Of course Pi San recognized Li Letian. He also moved stones on the city wall and braved the rain of arrows from the Rong tribe.
At that time, he saw Li Letian wearing a helmet and commanding the battle at the top of the city. Pi San felt that he was a member of Chang'an City and would live and die with this city.
Li Letian stood there, watching Pi San's back go away, silently without saying a word. At this time, the accompanying Fish Dragon Guard came over and put a large cloak on Li Letian.
On the way back, Li Letian kept thinking about Pi San's words. When Li Letian was growing up, he had many masters, including great scholars who were well-read in poetry and books, and martial arts masters who were famous all over the world. But the one who inspired him the most was
I met Pi San today.
The empire was in danger, and the rule of the Li dynasty was about to end. This catastrophe was said to be caused by the invasion of the Rong people, and more deeply, it was caused by the separatism of powerful princes in the empire. But in the final analysis, it was still because of people like Rupi San.
People no longer have the possibility to live a good life.
If everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and had no worries about food and clothing, I am afraid that no matter what, we would not be in the situation we are in today.
In the past, Li Letian could see the powerful ministers who controlled the government, the separatist princes, and the eyeing Rong tribe, but he could not see people like Pi San. In his opinion, such people were stupid, insensitive, and Xia Chong.
You can't say anything. But that may not be the case. Pi San was afraid that he would have recognized him a long time ago, but he still said those words. He was not even afraid of offending Li Letian.
One is the master of the world, and the other is empty-handed.
An emperor and a common man stand together. Because they have nothing, there is no need to be afraid.
Li Letian secretly wondered if he thought too highly of himself and ignored the soil beneath his feet.
The foundation of an empire lies not in famous generals or strong soldiers, but in common people and common people.
Thinking of this section, I suddenly remembered the story of Li Xingzai. My sixth brother once wandered around the world, working with traffickers and thugs, and even became a bandit...
If he had made this dragon chair from the beginning, would the result have been better?
…
During the Qingming Festival, Cheng Dalei was not in the mood to visit the grave. He still had many things to do.
According to time calculation, Hua Rong should have rushed back to Liangzhou, but there was still some time before Qin Man led his army to arrive.
During this period of time, Cheng Dalei was not idle. He constantly sent people to spy on the Rong clan's intelligence.
The way of fighting, the organization of the army, the supply of food and grass, and more importantly, the way of arranging troops.
The people currently here are all good fighters who are accustomed to fighting. A steady stream of information is sent to them every day, and Cheng Dalei analyzes and summarizes it.
If you haven't figured out a way yet, it's because you don't know enough. As long as you know enough information, you can definitely come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy.
Cheng Dalei firmly believes in this and must implement it thoroughly. After these days of tossing, he has a rough idea of what to do next.
"Master, Master, look who's coming."
Cheng Dalei was frowning and thinking about the situation in front of him when he suddenly heard Xu Shenji yelling. Then he raised his head and saw Li Xingzai first, followed by Xu Wentian.
Cheng Dalei's eyes lit up: "You didn't go back to Donghai?"
"I planned to go back, but then I heard you were here, so I came over to take a look." Li Xingzai said: "I just said, why don't you come and join in the fun. Look, I even brought someone here for you."
As he said that, a man came in from outside the door, raised his fist and bowed: "My subordinate Bai Yuanfei, please see me, the boss."
Cheng Dalei also hadn't seen Bai Yuanfei for a long time and asked, "How come you two met?"
"My subordinates have been moving around to see if there are any opportunities to do something. The Rong people are monolithic and are not easy to attack. Later, I accidentally met Prince Li and heard that the people from Liangzhou were here, but I didn't expect that it was the head of the family.
to."
Cheng Dalei nodded. Bai Yuanfei was active on the front line. He was also an experienced intelligence agent, so he naturally knew a lot of information about the Rong clan. Now that he appeared at the right time, he had another capable man.
While Cheng Dalei and Bai Yuanfei were reminiscing about old times, Li Xingzai looked at the surrounding environment.
Cheng Dalei's current base camp is in a village that has been raided by the Rong tribe. There are security guards everywhere. Once discovered by the Rong tribe, they can quickly move into the mountains.
This is indeed Cheng Dalei's style of setting up formations: leaking nothing, thinking about defeat before winning.
Li Xingzai cleared his throat, interrupted the conversation between Cheng Dalei and Bai Yuanfei, and said: "You are willing to show up, you must be planning to do something, is there any way?"
Cheng Dalei looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Li Xingzai: "How many troops do you have now?"
"Less than ten thousand."
"enough."
"Hey, you surnamed Cheng are so loud. The Rong tribe has 200,000 to 300,000 troops. The hundreds of thousands of armies of various princes are almost not qualified to compete with the Rong tribe. A mere 10,000 troops, you say that is enough?"
Speaking of this, Li Xingzai suddenly remembered that in Qingniu Mountain, Cheng Dalei once used only the weak and old to fend off a hundred thousand Rong soldiers. The ten thousand battlefield-experienced soldiers in front of him might really be enough for him.
"It's really frustrating to be in this world with you." Li Letian sighed and asked, "What can I do?"
"Please enter the urn."
Li Xingzai became more energetic: "Tell me carefully."
Cheng Dalei retreated, leaving only himself and Li Xingzai in the room. Li Xingzai saw that he was so cautious and knew that what he was talking about was an important matter, so he also listened carefully.
Cheng Dalei spread out a scroll on the table and said: "Look, this is the Rong camp that I sent someone to draw. Right now, there are Rong soldiers and horses all around Chang'an City. There are also Rong troops stationed in various mountain fortresses.
Now the Rong tribe not only surrounded Chang'an City, but also controlled the entire area."
Li Xingzai turned sideways. It was indeed not easy for Cheng Dalei to draw such a map in such a short period of time. The empire was so big that when it came to attaching great importance to maps, no one could compare to him.
"You want to attack the Rong camp?" Li Xingzai opened his eyes wide: "With a mere 10,000 troops?"
"I'm not crazy." Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him and traced his finger across the ground: "My target is the 20,000 Rong troops stationed at Lizipo, west of Chang'an. Thirty miles west of Lizipo, there is a canyon.
Introduce the Rong people into the canyon, prepare more gunpowder, blow up the canyon, and have a game of catching turtles in an urn."
Li Xingzai frowned and thought deeply, and said: "The most important thing about this battle is why the Rong clan must pursue them?"
"I personally took command and used my name as bait." Cheng Dalei said: "Besides, if the Rong tribe wins consecutive battles, their morale will be arrogant, and if you are arrogant, your troops will be defeated."
Li Xingzai nodded: "When it comes to the group of people the Rong clan wants to kill most, you must be at the top of the list. This strategy is not impossible, but there are still many details to be determined?"
"The key now is, are you willing to lend me troops?" Cheng Dalei looked at Li Xingzai and asked.
