"I am also very disappointed!" Zhou Lie said seriously: "The general will also be very disappointed!"
Li En frowned.
"The three tribes of Xile have all surrendered to Qin Xiao." Zhou Lie seemed to be quite patient and explained: "Especially your Bohai feuding Bu Liuda people. Not only did they turn to Qin Xiao, but it is said that Bu Liuda's tower
Both and Qin Xiao also married Jinlan in public."
The corners of Li En's eyes twitched slightly.
"Of course, the alliance between Qin Xiao and Bu Liuda will be profitable for both parties." Zhou Lie said: "Qin Xiao wants to drive out the Liaodong Army, so naturally he wants to cut off all assistance from the Liaodong Army and win over the three Xile tribes.
It can leave the Liaodong Army without help in the north. General Li, what do you think Bu Liuda wants from Qin Xiao?"
Li Endao: "Please enlighten me!"
"Of course it's the Black Forest." Zhou Lie said calmly: "The Black Forest is the homeland of the Siler people, but you Bohai have snatched nearly half of it. How can the Buliuda people give up? They just rely on their own strength, and I'm afraid they won't be able to compete with you.
To counter Bohai and regain the invaded territory, we will naturally need the help of Long Ruijun."
Li En said calmly: "You mean Qin Xiao wants to help the Xile people to become our enemy in the Great Bohai Sea?"
"Mo Lizhi's beloved son Yuan Gai Wushuang was killed by Qin Xiao himself in Kyoto. Bohai and Qin Xiao have long had a deadly feud." Zhou Lie said: "Even if you don't want to be an enemy of Qin Xiao, will Qin Xiao let him go?"
You? Qin Xiao's army is at its peak. General Li, if the Liaodong Army is defeated by Qin Xiao, Long Rui's army will eventually control the four northeastern counties, and they are allies with the three Xile tribes. I don't know what Qin Xiao's sword will do.
Where will it be cut when it comes down?"
Li En sneered: "Does he still dare to command Bohai?"
"Qin Xiao just came out of seclusion
At that time, everyone in the Liaodong Army thought so, and no one thought that Qin Xiao dared to point his sword at the Liaodong Army." Zhou Lie said: "But you should also know what the situation is now."
Li En's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
"Once the Liaodong Army is defeated, Qin Xiao will swing his sword towards the Bohai Sea." Zhou Lie said: "The four northeastern counties plus the Xile tribes in the Modong Prairie, but I don't know whether the Bohai Kingdom can withstand it?"
Li En snorted coldly: "You are alarmist."
But his tone was obviously lacking in confidence.
"Whether I am being alarmist or not, General Li knows it well, and your Mo Lizhi and the commander-in-chief also know it." Zhou Lie said: "So don't threaten the Liaodong Army by not sending troops to the Bohai Sea. Although the Liaodong Army suffered some losses, we are still here.
The foundation of the Northeast is still there for a hundred years. If we join forces, we still have a chance to defeat Long Rui's army. If you sit back and ignore it, the Liaodong Army will indeed be in danger, but without the help of our army in the future, the Bohai Kingdom will also be in danger."
Li En frowned.
"There is another confidential military information, I might as well reveal some to you." Zhou Lie said: "You are not the only support force of the Liaodong Army. In less than two months, there will be a surprise force coming to reinforce us. If we can annihilate them at sea,
When the time comes, the navy in western Liaoning will be able to attack Long Rui's army from three sides and annihilate it in one fell swoop."
When Li En heard this, he laughed out loud and said: "General Zhou really thinks that we know nothing about the situation in the Northeast? The tribes of Xile in the east of the desert have surrendered to Qin Xiao, where do you have any surprise troops?"
"You don't have to believe it." Zhou Lie said, "You can also go back and tell Yuan Gaijia that the Liaodong Navy will never hand over military power.
If you refuse to send troops because of this, we will not force you. After two months, the situation in the Northeast will change dramatically. You can watch quietly." He raised his hand and said: "Commander Bai, see you off!"
Zhou Lie claimed that there were other surprise soldiers, and Li En naturally found it difficult to believe it.
But Zhou Lie's attitude was really beyond Li En's expectation.
Bohai is naturally very concerned about the situation in Northeast China.
The Liaodong Army was in a desperate situation and was in danger. Bohai had already found out about it.
Logically speaking, the Liaodong Army was waiting for the Bohai people to save their lives at this moment. When they saw people coming from the Bohai Sea, they would definitely be respectful. It was for this reason that Li En dared to turn against the guests and ask for military power from the Liaodong Navy.
But Zhou Lie's current attitude seems to really not care whether the Bohai Sea Division sends troops.
If you don't have the confidence, how can you dare to do this?
Could it be that the so-called surprise soldiers are actually real?
Li En could see that Zhou Lie was very confident, and he obviously had high hopes for that strange force. If this was true, and a strange force really appeared, and the situation in the Northeast was reversed, then the Bohai Navy's plan to take advantage of this opportunity to get involved in the Northeast war would be lost.
.
What's more, the commander-in-chief Yuan Gaijia is extremely concerned about this opportunity.
The Bohai Sea Army has strong soldiers and horses, but they have never been able to use them. The whole army is naturally looking forward to the opportunity to show off their skills. As the commander of the Bohai Sea Army, Yuan Gaijia hopes to have the opportunity to become famous in the world.
Secondly, once this battle is won, Yuan Gaijia's reputation in Bohai will naturally be at its peak. For Yuan Gaijia, who has always had ambitions to succeed Mo Lizhi, this opportunity cannot be missed.
The most important thing is that the secret agreement reached by both parties has clearly promised to annihilate the dragon.
After the strong army, the Northeast will cede Xuantu County to the Bohai Sea, which is too tempting for the Bohai Sea.
Yuan Gaijian did not hesitate this time. After signing the secret agreement, he immediately issued the order for the navy to send troops.
After Yuan Gaijia received the military order, he made preparations as quickly as possible and couldn't wait to send out the vanguard.
Li En knew that he had been offshore for more than ten days from the Bohai Sea. He had traveled day and night to reach Changsheng Port as quickly as possible. During this period, the main fleet led by Yuan Gaijia must have also set off.
The so-called not sending troops is only to intimidate the Liaodong Navy. Since the Bohai Sea Navy has already set off, it is of course impossible for the Liaodong Navy to turn back halfway just because the Liaodong Navy does not hand over military power.
But Zhou Lie didn't take this trick, and the other party was very confident, which made Li En afraid of self-defeating.
Mao Baishou has followed Zhou Lie for many years, so he naturally cooperates tacitly. He straightened his back, raised his hand and said: "General Li, I will send you to the ship!"
How could Li En dare to get up and leave? He pretended to ponder for a while before saying: "Commander Zhou, you may misunderstand me. The Great Bohai Sea is not asking for your military power, but to allow the coalition forces to cooperate more tacitly. Commander Zhou is famous for his reputation.
, naturally we know that there must be no chaos in the military formation on the battlefield, so!"
"General Li, the Liaodong navy is all under my general." Zhou Lie said: "The general is worried about trouble, so he sent this general back to take charge of the army again. Now that I'm back, I won't be afraid during the battle.
In the previous situation, there will be no situation of fleeing in battle. On the contrary, the soldiers are not familiar with you. If you take control of the military, the soldiers will not be convinced.
, but it is easy for things to go wrong." He leaned forward slightly, staring at Li Endo with a burning gaze: "To tell you the truth, your Bohai Sea is just a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Navy look down on you from the bottom of their hearts. You are the only one.
The Bohai generals came to give them orders, which they thought was completely ridiculous, how could they obey you?"
Li En's face suddenly turned ugly.
"But don't worry, although we cannot hand over the Liaodong Navy to your command, we will still obey the military orders of the Commander-in-Chief." Zhou Lie said: "The Liaodong Navy will follow the Commander-in-Chief's dispatch, whether it is to charge into the formation or to defend the formation from behind.
There will be laws and prohibitions.”
Zhou Lie's words were more or less given to Li En. Li En deliberately hesitated and then said: "Since Commander Zhou said this, I have nothing to say. But the ugly words are ahead. If you are on the battlefield, you
If a soldier under your command refuses to obey the commander-in-chief's orders, all responsibilities will be borne by you."
Zhou Lie said calmly: "Of course I am responsible for my soldiers."
After hearing this, Li En relaxed a lot, thought for a moment, and then said: "This time to attack Long Rui's army, both land and water will advance and retreat together. Commander Zhou, I wonder what the situation is like with the general?"
Zhou Lie naturally understood what Li En meant.
In the battle between the two armies in the Northeast, the naval force was certainly important, but the siege of cities and territories on land was the fundamental determinant of the war situation.
Once Wang Xingchao failed and Liaoyang City was breached, even if the maritime coalition won the water battle, they would not be able to reverse the situation.
"You can rest assured." Mao Baishou, who had been silent all the time, finally said: "The general has gathered his troops and horses in Liaoyang. General Li will attack the cities in the northeast.
If you are not familiar with it, you should at least know that Liaoyang is the most fortified city in the Northeast. Liaoyang City is extremely strong, there is enough food and grass in the city, and the general is personally in charge, so it is no problem to defend it for a year and a half."
Zhou Lie smiled and said: "It won't take a year and a half, but only two months, and the surprise troops that the general is waiting for will appear." Looking at Li End, he said: "If the coalition forces can completely annihilate the Liaoxi Navy within two months,
By controlling the coast along the northeastern coast, the coalition forces can land in two months and cooperate with the troops on land to launch a counterattack against Long Rui's army at the same time. By then, Long Rui's army will be surrounded by troops on all sides, and it will be impossible to retreat to the pass."
Li En just forced a smile. He still couldn't completely believe that the Northeast would undergo earth-shaking changes in two months.
"As long as Long Rui's army is annihilated, the Bohai Navy will have made a great contribution." Mao Baishou also said: "The barbarians in the Modong tribes are just grassroots. Without Long Rui's army to back them, they will inevitably fall at the feet of the general again.
.The general has a generous temperament and is never stingy with his true friends. It is not impossible to help Bohai gain control of the entire Black Forest."
Although Mao Baishou had received news that the Bohai Navy had sent troops for reinforcements before, he did not know what kind of secret agreement the two parties had reached, let alone that Wang Xingchao had promised to cede Xuantu County to the Bohai people.
He only thought that after the war, when he helped the Bohai people acquire the entire Black Forest, the Bohai people would be grateful and weeping with tears. However, he did not know that the current Bohai people's appetite not only wanted to swallow up the Black Forest, but also wanted to swallow up Xuantu County in one go.
Hearing this, Li En smiled and said: "You and I join forces to
, plus the extraordinary troops arranged by the general to annihilate Long Rui’s army and take off Qin Xiao’s head and bring it back to the Bohai Sea, it will be just around the corner!”
"Commander Mao, arrange a banquet." Zhou Lie became in a very good mood and said with a smile: "We want to clean up the dust for General Li. We will not get drunk tonight!"
