A burst of blood gushed out from his heart and went straight to his forehead, instantly turning Yu Zhong's eyes red.
At a glance, he only saw the defeat of Wo Ye and the Lu brothers fleeing south to Gaoping. He did not take a closer look at how Lu Yan was defeated.
At this moment, the line of small characters on Yuan Li's finger were like steel, piercing Yu Zhong's eyes: On the twenty-sixth day of the winter lunar month, when troops were dispatched from Luoyang, Li Chengzhi rushed to Beizhen...
At that time, how many days had passed since Yuanhuai, Lu Yan, and Dou Ling agreed on the date for the Woye uprising?
It will be almost half a month, and I am afraid that the envoys sent by Dou Ling to the Khan's court to ask for Chou Nu's orders have not yet arrived at Harhelin.
How did Li Chengzhi find out?
Unless he is really gifted by heaven, he can predict the situation thousands of miles away in Luoyang just by counting.
"Absurd...ridiculous!" Yu Zhong spit out two words, almost as if he was talking in his sleep.
"Yeah, I thought it was so ridiculous at the time? Regardless of whether he can do it, just a hundred retainers can capture the huge Woye City, and it only takes about half the time?
Even if Lu Yan’s men are all pigs, and the Jinmai soldiers in Woye City are all dead, it will still take time for Li Chengzhi to rush to the top of the city and open the city gate, right? Haha, but this is the case, what can be done?"
Yuan Li pulled out a piece of paper from the pile of papers: "Let's see... This is a few days ago, Yuan Huai sent his cronies from the Khan's Court. It is even more shocking than the one Lu Yan personally told just now: Fertile fields are set, Li
The next day, Chengzhi led thousands of troops to march north to fight against Dou Ling. A few days later, Dou Ling was defeated and fled thousands of miles away from Haer and Lin. Du Lun's twelve tribes were uprooted by Li Chengzhi, which was like genocide...
…”
Yu Zhong squinted his eyes, and several green veins suddenly bulged on his forehead.
Dou Ling was defeated, Touman City fell, Du Lun tribe had hundreds of thousands of people, and not one out of ten survived...
"All six towns...have sent out troops?"
"Six towns, hehehe...how can a bunch of dirty and disgraceful cysticerites act so vigorously? Furthermore, these bastards really don't think you dare to send the covenant of joint uprising to Luoyang, or even
Make it public?
Don't say it's just Yuan Yi and Luo Jian. If we only relied on these two, the six towns would already be in our pocket.
Even if Yuan Ke comes back to life and comes to the six towns in person, there is no such possibility... What's more, if you think that the tens of thousands of string-controlling soldiers in Du Lun's tribe are all dead, even if you can't defeat them, don't you know how to escape?" Yuan Lixiao was equally nervous, "It was Li Chengzhi... Li Chengzhi used the thunder from the sky. Dou Ling and Tou Mancheng were both caught off guard, thinking that this was a natural punishment, so they collapsed at the first touch and did not even have time to escape..."
Thunder?
"When Yuan Ke was there, I once saw Li Chengzhi test thunder in Hualin Garden: they were all soaked with chickens, the sound was like thunder, and the smell was extremely bad, but the danger was very small, far from enough to hurt people, how could it be possible to make Dou
Leading the entire army to destruction and making the Du Lun tribe almost extinct?"
"I saw it with my own eyes at the top of the city of Qianyuan, and I can still lie to you: This thing can break even solid rocks, so how can it be so dangerous?
Yu Lingjun, Yu Lingjun, Yuan Ke is stupid, are you stupid too? Anyone who has such a sharp weapon would treat it like a treasure, how could he show it to others? Not to mention a traitor like Li Chengzhi..."
"Okay, just like this, Li Chengzhi has such a magical thing, what about that person? It is impossible that Li Chengzhi defeated the Dou leader and destroyed Du Lun's twelve tribes with just a few thousand troops?
Could it be that he is really like a god who can shout thunder and turn Dou's tens of thousands of elite cavalry, Du Lun's hundreds of thousands of herdsmen, and the city of Manchu into ashes in an instant?"
Yu Zhong had only a trace of luck and tried his best to quibble. He would rather believe that this was the excuse for the ugly slaves not to send troops, but he couldn't believe that Li Chengzhi turned his hands into clouds and rain. In just half a month, he had tens of thousands of fine cavalry.
, the Du Lun tribe, which had been victorious for a while, was wiped out.
"God knows where the Xihai Relics appeared from?"
Yuan Li sighed suddenly, "Look carefully: in front of you, there are not only the statements of the Lu brothers, the urgent report sent by Yuan Huai after traveling thousands of miles, but also the secret messages from the confidants you and I have placed in the court.
……
The soldiers who annihilated Dou Ling and destroyed the Du Lun tribe were not soldiers from Beizhen, let alone Luoyang's central army. They came from the west, claimed to be rebels from Gaoche, and lived in the West Sea. The entire clan of Qianliang tribe...
, I’m afraid it’s not even tens of thousands of soldiers…”
Impossible, absolutely impossible...
Dou Ling is so powerful. In the more than ten years since he succeeded to the throne of Khan, his troops and horses are as strong as those of the six towns, and they are as fearful as tigers. But in just a few days, they were overturned by less than tens of thousands of soldiers... Is there such a powerful army in the world?<
/p>
"It is not the soldiers who are strong, but Li Chengzhi... After all, it is a thunder that is like a divine punishment. What is impossible?"
Yuan Li's face was filled with a look of defeat, "You can't see Fu Luo, but you have 30,000 fine cavalry in your hand. How powerful is it? But as soon as he met Li Chengzhi, he abandoned his helmet and armor and was defeated. Now he no longer has the courage to fight. If
A bereaved dog usually flees to Chencang...
Looking at Yuan Ji again, he had tens of thousands of troops and Qingshui City had strong walls, but Li Chengzhi only attacked for half a day before being defeated. Yuan Ji didn't even leave a whole body behind?
Now that Qinzhou has been restored, within three days, Li Chengzhi will definitely march eastward with his army. By then, even if Changyi has an army of 100,000, how can he dare to call it a sure victory?"
Yu Zhong's temples bulged and his ears buzzed, as if ten thousand gongs were beating in his head.
What does Yuan Li mean... is she going to lose?
How many battles have we fought now?
Chang Yizhi and Li Chengzhi have not yet engaged in a battle. Fuluo still has more than 20,000 elite cavalry under his command, and even Yuan Li has tens of thousands of infantry...
What's more, with such a deep hatred, how could the ugly slave commit suicide? Otherwise, I'm afraid his prodigy will end...
I think that when Yuan Huai sent his confidants to deliver the message, Chou Nu had already gathered his troops. It has been nearly a month now, no matter how late it is, it’s time to set off!
By then, at least 300,000 troops can be gathered in the north of the Qinling Mountains, and they will all be elite divisions. And how many troops does Li Chengzhi have now?
Li Chengzhi claimed to have an army of 100,000, but most of them were state soldiers and civilians recruited from the prefectures and counties. The only 40,000 Chinese troops brought from Luoyang to fight could be worthy of a battle. And in a hurry, how many Chinese troops could the imperial court send for reinforcements?
?
Yu Zhong originally thought that the enemy was nearly ten times outnumbered. Once a war started, no matter what, it would be withered and decayed. The autumn wind would sweep away the fallen leaves and destroy all the dregs of the imperial army. However, Yuan Li said at this time: "No more."
No matter how hard you fight, you can't escape the word "defeat"?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Just because the current commander-in-chief of the imperial court is Li Chengzhi?
He gritted his teeth tightly: "I don't believe it!"
"Don't say you didn't know anything before, but you just heard about it suddenly today. Even though I knew everything from front to back, it's still incredible to think about it now!
But it doesn't help whether you or I believe it or not. The difficult thing is, how to make Nan Shuai Chang Yizhi understand the current situation, but not fear Li Chengzhi like a tiger because of the weirdness of thunder, firearms and other things? For this reason, there have been sudden changes in the past ten days, but I have not rushed to report it to you... I am afraid that Chang Yi is too cautious, hesitant and afraid of difficulties and dare not enter the pass, and I am also afraid that he will be like you at this time.
Generally speaking, they think that all rumors are false, so they underestimate the enemy and advance rashly..."
Yuan Li sighed sadly, "Just like Fu Luo, who was cautious enough about Li Chengzhi, but still didn't pay enough attention to thunder and firearms, so that he was defeated in the first battle. Now he is so timid that he doesn't even have the courage to fight head-on? p>
I really don’t know what to do, so I can only consult with you... In my opinion, the war must be a good one, otherwise you and I will not be willing to die! But even a war,
Leave room for this...
If it causes heavy casualties to the coalition forces, the Southern Emperor Xiao Yan and the Tuguhun Khan Fu Lianchou will definitely hate you and me to the bone. Not to mention the ugly slaves, because of you and me, the whole army will be buried in vain. Now I am afraid that I can't wait to see it.
If you and Yuan Huai are cut into pieces, no matter how big the world is, there will be no place for you and me..."
You haven't even started yet, but you're already thinking about your options?
Even Yuan Li, the mastermind, is like this, which shows how scared Hou Gang and others are. Otherwise, why would Hou Gang abandon the city and flee when Li Chengzhi's flag is still hundreds of miles away?
Yu Zhong's whole body was trembling, and his upper and lower teeth were trembling: "If he is really a person appointed by heaven, and he is really capable of pinching and calculating, and he is really capable of attracting the punishment of thunder from the sky, why didn't he count us when he planned to assassinate the late emperor?"
Why don't you just lead the thunder and chop us to death in Luoyang City?"
Yuan Li was so helpless: When did I ever say anything about whether Li Chengzhi was a gift from heaven?
Isn't this just nonsense? You've clearly got this idea ingrained in your bones?
If we talk about the past, Yuan Li would not dare to sneer with her mouth, but she would also despise her in her heart: Is there anyone in this world who is gifted by heaven?
But now, although he still can't believe it, when it comes to Li Chengzhi, he is no better than Yu Zhong.
That’s all...
"Since the Southern Emperor has appointed you as deputy commander to help him lead the army, it is up to you to remind Chang Yizhi how to fight and when to fight. It is naturally up to you and others to decide...
But I think that if we want to fight, we should cut off one of Li Chengzhi's arms sooner rather than later, at least before he comes back to help. After all, Li Shao does not have thunder or various firearms to rely on.
Fighting, at least not like Volo, who will be frightened as soon as he meets the enemy...
Now Li Chengzhi is still in Qinzhou, which is three hundred miles away. Even if he travels in a hurry, it will take two or three days to arrive. And at the latest in the afternoon, Fulo will lead more than 20,000 elite cavalry to Chencang. By then,
We have both foot and cavalry, and a force of 150,000, most of which are elite divisions. Therefore, it would be best to start the battle tomorrow..."
Yuan Li paused for a moment, then a bright light appeared in her eyes, and her face became more solemn: "If I were you, I would advise Chang Yizhi and Fu Luo to send out all their troops by dawn tomorrow at the latest, and use all their strength to attack Li Shao. By then,
Once Qizhou is lost, won't the huge Guanzhong be at our mercy? Li Chengzhi has the advantage of thunder weapons, but he has grown a few more legs, how many times can he divide the army?
By then, we, Gao Ping and Bo Gu Lu, Xi Kangsheng in Jingzhou, and Gao Meng in Xiazhou will definitely be in chaos without a fight. If Chounu sends troops to contain the six towns again, and the Southern Dynasty feints to attack the two Huaihe Rivers, the imperial court will inevitably expand.
Panicked, troops were mobilized everywhere.
By then, those who have accepted your heavy gifts and secretly made a pact with you to start trouble will no longer wait and see. In this world, there will be wars everywhere... and only then will it be time for you and me to show our strength. Therefore,
I also hope that you will take charge of your power and plan, and make an early decision..."
Yuan Li spoke clearly and resolutely, and every word he said was like a huge bell ringing in Yu Zhong's ears, shaking his mind.
Lu Yan was defeated and lost his fertile field...
Dou Ling was also defeated and was even exterminated...
Although Fuluo only suffered a small defeat and suffered little damage, he has now heard that "Li" has changed his face...
Yuan Ji suffered the worst defeat and died without a complete body...
The Yu family has led the army for generations. Since he was a boy, Yu Zhong has accompanied his father and ancestors on military expeditions in the north and south. He is now nearly fifty and has experienced so many battles in more than thirty years that even he himself cannot count them.
Therefore, just looking at our side's consecutive defeats, no one is Li Chengzhi's enemy, and we know that what Yuan Li said is true.
Therefore, no matter how hard he talks, no matter how unbelievable he is, Yu Zhongxin is as clear as a mirror: Yuan Li will never deceive him. Every word he says at this time, every item contained in these emergency reports, must be
Facts.
How could he not know that Yuan Li must have thought deeply before making such a suggestion. As Yuan Li said, now only by sinking the boat and giving Li Chengzhi all his strength before reaching Qianyin can the situation be reversed and a chance of success be achieved.
Hope.
But the problem is, he is not the coach. How can he persuade Chang Yizhi?
Yu Zhong was anxious and frightened. He felt that a piece of rag was stuffed in his throat. Although he felt a lot of pain in his heart, he didn't know how to express it.
Seeing his facial features twisting into a ball and his lips moving slightly, Yuan Li sighed as if she felt deeply for him: "In the past few days, I have been just like you, anxious and anxious, unable to sleep or eat well. Until today, I have given you
After putting it all together, I felt a lot more at ease in my heart...
But the more anxious you are, the more things will get messed up. As I said just now, the only plan now is to persuade Chang Yizhi and Fu Luo to start a war as soon as possible. If Chang Yizhi is unwilling, then advise him to avoid the front for the time being.
,Return to Shannan.
The Qinling Mountains are high and densely forested, and the terrain is dangerous. Even if Li Chengzhi is very capable, he still has to go six or seven points... Then we have to wait for the news from Yuan Huai. If Rouran sends troops, we can plan for them slowly. If Chou Nu doesn't respond,
Then you and I can only accept our fate..."
Accept your fate?
Yu Zhong raised his head fiercely and stared at Yuan Li.
"Don't look at me like this... When you and I made an alliance, it was just to fight for wealth. Now that there is no hope of wealth, we can't just throw away this old life, right?"
The words are hurtful, but they are extremely realistic!
"Time waits for no one, so hurry up!"
Yuan Li stood up first, "I'm going to organize the army too. Remember, no later than tomorrow: if Chang Yi wants to fight, I will mobilize all my troops to help..."
"What if he shouldn't?"
"Haha...Then I can only retreat to Chencang and wait for your good news..."
Having said this, Yuan Li's meaning is so explicit: If there is no fight tomorrow, he will take the first step!
And when the time comes, what will Chang Yizhi or Fuluo think?
Yu Zhong gritted his teeth tightly and seemed to have used all his strength to control himself from having an attack on the spot.
"In this battle, the southern army is the strongest, and Fu Luo is here. Our troops are the weakest. Therefore, I am talking lightly and I am not completely sure to persuade Chang Yi. You allow me for half a day. After Fu Luo comes, I will fight with him.
Let’s go find Chang Yi Zhi together!”
"Okay!"
Yuan Li walked out and when he reached the door, he said again: "Don't think that I am alarmist. When Li Chengzhi leads his army eastward, you will know that what I said is true... The person who was frightened by Li Chengzhi is not the truth."
There is only one me, Yuan Li..."
As the words faded, Yuan Li had gone away, but Yu Zhong turned a deaf ear. His eyes staring at Yuan Li's back seemed to be on fire...
