Chapter 647: Shangdang Battle (9)

If it were ten days ago, Li Guiren would not only not see Han Li, but also slaughter him and then send the head to Li Huaixian. He always believed that it was Li Huaixian's discooperation that caused him to be humiliated by the 2,000 troops.

But now.

Li Guiren's attitude changed. He immediately ordered his personal soldiers to invite Han Li in. He used the word "please" for the first time.

After a moment, Han Li was taken in, and he seemed very confident. As a strategist, his most basic talent was to be able to judge the situation. If he couldn't even grasp what Li Guiren's attitude is now, then he, a strategist, had done too much.

"See General Guiren!"

Han Li saluted respectfully, and Li Guiren forced out a smile and said, "Mr. Han, don't be polite, please sit down!"

Han Li gave Cai Xide another salute and sat down. Li Guiren ordered someone to pour a cup of tea. It was a bit difficult for him to speak, but the situation was urgent and he could not hesitate any longer. Since Han Li was Li Huaixian's confidant adviser, he could represent Li Huaixian's attitude.

"I think Mr. Han and Governor Li should know better than me. I would like to ask Mr. Han, what is Governor Li's attitude? Do you want to withdraw your troops or fight to the death with the Tang army!"

Li Guiren was particularly serious about the words "Fight to Death". He looked at Han Li with hope in his eyes. He was not stupid at all. If Li Huaixian wanted to withdraw his troops, he would walk away silently and run faster than anyone else. He would not send Han Li to find him.

Han Li smiled slightly and said, "Do you think we will definitely be defeated?"

"This is not necessarily the case. The battlefield changes rapidly, and no one can predict the outcome of the war. Although Li Qing'an seems to have a little advantage, if he did not rely on sneak attacks, we might not lose to him. More importantly, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated. If I guess correctly, the morale of the Tang army has been too high. This is our opportunity."

"So, General Guiren is preparing to fight the Tang army!" Han Li said with a smile.

"certainly!"

Li Guiren decisively said: "Either he dies, or I die!"

"Cough! Cough!" Cai Xide, next to him, coughed twice. He felt that Li Guiren was showing his attitude too early. Han Li was obviously testing. Why couldn't Li Guiren see it?

Just as he was about to speak, Li Guiren waved his hand to stop him. He didn't want Cai Xide to interfere, he could solve it himself.

"Mr. Han, I am a soldier and don't like to bend around. I would like to ask Mr. Han, should Governor Li fight or retreat?"

"war!"

Han Li said the word Li Guiren expects with certainty. Li Guiren was overjoyed. He never expected that Li Huaixian would have this attitude, which was really beyond his expectations.

Han Li continued: "Although it is hard to say the result of the battle, there are some ugly words in front of it. My general has three small conditions."

"Condition?" Cai Xide next to him frowned, fighting together, what conditions are there? And there are three conditions, Li Guiren waved his hand and told him not to speak. In fact, this is normal. If there are no conditions, is Li Huaixian willing to help him fight? He asked impatiently: "I wonder what conditions does Governor Li have?"

"The first condition for my general is very simple. He hopes to get two Dayuan war horses."

"Come here, bring ten best Dayuan horses!"

At this time, even if Li Huaixian wanted one hundred war horses, Li Guiren would agree without hesitation.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Han Li bowed and smiled, "Then let's talk about the second condition!"

"Mr. Han, please speak."

"My general said that he would cooperate with General Guiren to fight this battle well. If he wins, he hopes that General Guiren will not kill again. We need the Han people to grow food and the source of troops...."

Before he could finish his words, Li Guiren agreed without hesitation. As long as he abducts a woman, men can not kill them, and people can not kill them. He can agree.

"Please tell me the third condition."

"The third condition is that if we win, our general hopes that General Guiren will assist him in attacking Taiyuan, and then Taiyuan City will belong to my general. Is it OK?"

This condition was a bit beyond Li Guiren's expectations. He pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! I agree."

Han Li immediately laughed and said, "We know that General Guiren is a person with a promise. Since the general agrees, we will only follow the general's leader. When to send troops and where to meet, the general will decide. We are ready and we are on standby at any time!"

"good!"

Li Guiren nodded heavily. He ordered people to carry himself to the sand table and pointed to a small village in the middle with a wooden pole and said, "This is Luosong Village. This area is flat and suitable for cavalry combat. There is also a lonely hill behind the village. Standing on the hill, you can look dozens of miles away. It is a very garrison site. We will use the convergence point of this hill. We will send troops at the same time tomorrow. The afternoon of the day after tomorrow, we will meet here. How about it? Is it too late?"

"It should be very here."

Han Li asked again: "What should I do with An Qingxu? What I mean by General is that I hope he can also join the war as a rear army."

Li Guiren thought for a while and said, "I will try my best to ask him to join the war."

Han Li said some details and bowed to leave.

Li Guiren witnessed Han Li walking away, and then he turned around and smiled at Cai Xide and said, "What do you think? Li Huaixian is actually going to cooperate with me."

"He just wants to use you." Cai Xide sneered.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"It's very simple. His three conditions, the first two are smoke, confusing you. His real purpose is the third condition. He wants Taiyuan, and to be bigger, he wants Hedong, this person is very ambitious!"

Cai Xide sighed slightly and said, "Shi Siming's independence has raised everyone's ambitions. Li Huaixian obviously doesn't want to go back to Hebei. He wants to develop in Hedong, but if he wants to gain a foothold in Hedong, the first thing he wants is to defeat Li Qing'an, so he cooperates with you. This is his wishful thinking."

"It doesn't matter. Although I promised him, I only agreed to Taiyuan. I did not agree to other places in Hedong. The key now is to defeat Li Qing'an. With the wholehearted cooperation of Li Huaixian, I suddenly became confident."

Speaking of this, Li Guiren ordered people to prepare a carriage for him. He wanted to go to the military camp in Anqing to persuade him to fight with him.

Li Guiren left, and Cai Xide stared blankly outside the tent. He didn't really want to fight this battle, but Shi Siming's order was to let him hold the Hedong army for two days, which really made him feel embarrassed.

Li Guiren did not expect that An Qingxu would agree so happily to be their rear army, support and governor food, and An Qingxu also agreed to summon Yin Ziqi's 40,000 troops and join in this battle together.

This made Li Guiren very excited. Although he also knew that everyone had their own purpose, the most basic point was the same. No matter what purpose it was, defeating Li Qing'an was the prerequisite for everyone, so everyone would fight a war with all their hearts. This was what Li Guiren asked for.

Under Li Guiren's mediation, the Yan army in Hedong gradually came together. They reached an agreement, abandoned past grudges, and prepared for the Tang army with all their hearts.

Time was already very tight, and the three armies were preparing overnight. The soldiers in Li Guiren's army received the strictest order to pack their own property. Each person was allowed to bring only ten kilograms of personal belongings. Those who exceeded them were handed over. Many soldiers brought women. These women were handled by the soldiers themselves and were killed and buried on the spot. At dawn, no women were allowed to be around anyone, and those who violated the orders were immediately executed without mercy.

Li Huaixian's army also began to pack up his belongings. Li Huaixian ordered that all the remaining 50,000 stones of grain and 5,000 stones of salt be given to the soldiers, and the cavalry distributed additional fodder and materials, and all kinds of supplies were burned. Each soldier could only carry six kilograms of personal belongings in addition to food, which was actually the weight of the usual money.

Some soldiers brought more than ten stale money, and at most they could only keep all the money, and all the rest were handed over. Li Huaixian's soldiers also realized that the war was coming. Although they were frightened, the military orders should not be violated. The soldiers were still busy packing up their belongings and checking their weapons. The atmosphere in the military camp was very tense.

Unlike the storm that was about to come in Li Guiren and Li Huaixian's military camps, An Qingxu's military camp was very calm. The soldiers were silently packing their belongings without any restrictions. In fact, An Qingxu came late, and his soldiers did not have much wealth and food in their hands. Instead, his army was ready first.

It was already dawn. An Qingxu walked to the door of the tent with his hands behind his back and watched the red light gradually rising from the east sky. According to the agreement between the three parties, his army would set off at noon, the last of the three armies. The 150,000 s of military rations and various supplies from Li Guiren's army would be handed over to him to guard.

"Little Prince, are you ready?" Gao Shang walked to his side.

"I'm ready, but I still have a little indescribable worry in my heart, and I always feel so blocked." An Qingxu sighed.

"Did the little prince have a new idea?"

An Qingxu shook his head, "I don't have any new ideas, I just have a little doubt, a very big doubt."

Gao Shang smiled and said, "Tell me, what are the doubts in the little prince?"

"I really understand, how could Li Huaixian get together with Li Guiren? I understand, Li Guiren, he is just a lunatic, but Li Guiren, who is so smart and calm, does he really believe that he can defeat Li Qing'an's army?"

"It is enough to show that the little prince is not stupid."

An Qingxu turned around quickly, stared at Gao Shang and asked, "What does this mean sir?"

Gao Shang smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, Li Huaixian's mind is very simple. What is the reason for establishing Hedong as king, and what is the point of death to live. These reasons are wonderful and easy to confuse people. But when we peel off the skin, all his reasons must have a premise, that is, defeat Li Qing'an, but can Li Qing'an defeat? With a thunder, a powerful army, rich combat experience, and a commander who can stand out in the world. Our soldiers are panic, their lairs are divided, their generals have a different ambitions, their food and grass support are burned, and their people have lost all their hearts, can the Yan army be Li Qing'an's opponent?"

"No!" An Qingxu said without hesitation.

"The little prince knows it's not, and I know it's not, then don't Li Huaixian know? If he knows that he can't defeat Li Qing'an, but he mentions the conditions after victory, then what is his intention?"

An Qingxu took a breath. He was not stupid. He understood Gao Shang's meaning, "Mr. I mean, is it possible for Li Huaixian to surrender to Li Qing'an?"

Gao Shang said without hesitation: "It is not possible, nor is it. It is because he has surrendered to Li Qing'an. This is his only way out, the most realistic, and the most perfect way out."

An Qingxu seemed to be struck by lightning. He stared blankly into the sky. After a long time, he murmured: "What should I do?"

"Little Prince, you forgot what I said to you again. Don't treat yourself as the head coach anymore. You only have ten thousand troops and you can't control them anymore. If you can escape unstoppably, it will be your victory. Remember this!"

"I understand, Li Guiren and Cai Xide are actually Shi Siming's people."

It was finally dawn, and the three armies had a total of 160,000 Yan troops, and they began to set off one after another, heading westward. In addition to the 160,000 troops on the same front, there was also Yin Ziqi's 40,000 troops. He also received the order from An Qingxu and began to turn around and march westward.
