Chapter 43: Plans Change
"Yingzong's restoration?!Trapped in the imperial city by Bai Qing?!How can this be reasonable, reversing black and white!"
Before Bai Li could finish hearing the return, he was already angry. Then he looked up and pointed to the herald beside him, and said:
"You go to the Xiao Baiwei camp and summon the person sent by Bai Qing to accompany the army, just say I'll ask him, go quickly!"
"Honorable Order!"
Seeing that the herald ran out quickly, Bai Li once again beckoned from the city to return to the military academy:
"You go on, how is it in the city now?"
Hundreds of thousands of people poured in, and the persuasion of General Wang Deshan's forbidden army and our army's Xiaobai guards stationed in the city were all ineffectiveγγγγγγ Now, outside the imperial city, there is an empty cityγγγγγγ β
Knowing that the situation was serious, the military academy briefly told the current situation in the city.
"Enter the interior of the Imperial City, can the Imperial City be garrisoned?"
Bai Li heard that someone was inciting the people to enter the imperial city to hide, and he was very puzzled. When Wang Deshan, the general of the Bianjing Forbidden Army, met with him, he said that there had been no trace of the defenders in the imperial city for two years. Since there are no guards, how can you talk about hiding when you enter the city?
"Can the people come and go freely after entering? With such a large number of people, at least the need for food and grass is so great that it shows that there are vehicles in and out to transport things in and out?"
"When I left this morning, the south gate of the Imperial City was closed again after the people entered, and there were no more chariots and horses entering and leaving. β
"There are more than 100,000 people in the city, and the supplies in the imperial city can't support it for half a day, who is instigating the people?!"
"Polite!"
Bai Li was about to ask for more details, but he heard a sergeant shouting loudly outside the tent, and his voice was obviously anxious!
Without hesitation, Bai Li took the lead and jumped out of the main tent and came to the open space in front of the tent.
Three men in white guard uniforms were carried to the front. All of them have sunken eye sockets and dry bodies. Although he has been dead for a long time, his face still maintains a look of anger!
Everyone was a little frightened when they saw such a tragic situation, who had never seen the battle on the battlefield, the stumps and broken arms, and the disembowelment? But such a dry flesh and blood was terrifying!
Bai Li turned his head to look at the herald. The man quickly replied from his astonishment, and replied:
"Hui Lishuai, it is indeed the three people who live with that man!
Bai Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly walked to the three corpses. The sight of the meeting was no longer recognizable, so they groped around the waists of the three of them.
Pinched the three quaint iron plaques engraved with the word "shadow" in his hand, and Bai Li's chest thundered.
"It's really those three shadow guards! Sure enough, they were still deceived by this person, and now they should have achieved their goal and returned to their masters. β
Thinking so in his heart, Bai Li stood up, and under the attention of everyone, he would take the main account alone without saying a word. Just as everyone was looking at each other, there was a majestic order from the account:
"Raise the tent! Call the commanders of all battalions to come quickly!"
"Obey!"
The people in charge of the herald scattered to their respective camps.
In less than a moment, all the generals entered the tent one after another, all of them stood sideways and respectfully lined up left and right, looking at the commander Bai Li on the handsome platform! The main tent was solemn and solemn, as if the current solemnity of the war!
"Generals, my Bai family has been a military general for generations, and I don't know how many tricks and tricks. If I am offended, I hope you will focus on the overall situation and not worry about me. β
Bai Li got up to break the silence, and his words were simple and humble, but all the generals below were obedient.
"You don't have to worry too much about it, we will join forces for the sake of loyalty to the Song Dynasty, and we naturally understand the overall situation!"
"We waited for the name to come here, in addition to being loyal to the Song Dynasty, I also admired the Bai family's loyalty. Etiquette, you don't need to have any scruples, I'll just listen to the order!"
The generals were about to speak one after another, and Bai Li bowed to everyone and said:
"I know that you and others are loyal and righteous people, but today I want to explain to you the situation you are in!"
Bai Li's voice was low, obviously revealing a slight sense of seriousness of the situation.
This puzzled most people, and 200,000 troops came to the city. The two battalions guarding the capital and the forbidden army are all attached, and the situation is very good!
Bai Li saw everyone's expressions, and did not evade, it was a pre-war mobilization, so it was natural to reach a consensus first, so he continued:
"The generals will be calm and listen to Ben Shuai. β
As he needed to listen calmly to what he said, he motioned for everyone to sit down, and then continued:
"First of all, this time the leading coach, that is, my eldest brother Bai Rong, is in high spirits, and it is difficult to lead the army for a while, and the responsibility of the coach is temporarily replaced by me. This is the first difficulty!"
All the generals know that Bai Li is also the blood of the Bai family, and the story of the handsome young man who left home in the past two years and returned to the camp of the invincible crossbow has long been familiar.
The whole army admired this legendary man very much! Hearing him say this, they all wanted to show their attitude of obeying orders.
Bai Li also knew what the generals meant, but he waved his hand and pressed it, and said downward:
"Secondly, I waited for the army to assemble at the Chained Village, and then advanced here, all according to the words of a man who claimed to be my nephew Bai Qing. β
Speaking of this, Bai Li took out three "shadow" waist cards from his waist. While stretching out to show the generals, he said what the waist tag indicated:
"These three 'shadow' waist cards are only owned by the elite shadow guards trained by my Bai family, and I have sent three shadow guards to never leave the person who reported the news. β
Then he pointed to the open space outside the tent and said angrily:
"However, just now, the elite of these three elites were all in the corpse camp, and the whereabouts of the people they were ordered to watch were unknown. Fang Caier had also seen the terrible state of the withered and dried corpses before they entered the account!"
The generals understood and looked at each other. Bai Li continued:
"This person showed that he was pretending to be Bai Qing's cronies and coaxed us and others. Obviously, we have already been tricked, but we still don't know what the trick is, this is the second difficulty!"
The generals gasped, the army has reached this point, it is already considered to be on the battlefield, but the confidant does not know the other, which is indeed bottomless. But seeing that the coach was going to continue, his heart gradually sank.
Sure enough, Bai Li stretched out three fingers:
"Looking at the death of the three shadow guards of my Bai family, it is obvious that the murderer is not an ordinary person who wields a sword and wields a sword. If he is only one of the enemies, then we can't accurately estimate the opponent's combat power, and this is the third difficulty!"
In the tent below, all of them are people with strong minds, and most of them have experienced countless battles in their lives. But when I heard Bai Li's trilemma, I was already a little depressed.
Of course, Bai Li saw that everyone's expressions were solemn, and the above three difficulties were not a small blow to morale, how could he Bai Li not know?
In reality, however, he did it on purpose. Before the war, he informed the actual situation, and he told him truthfully, so naturally he didn't use any strategy. However, he did have the intention to mobilize the generals to win!
This first step is to make the generals put away their contempt and pay attention to the big war. Looking at the faces of the people in front of them, it can be seen that it has been achieved.
The real mobilization was about to begin, and Bai Li got up from the high seat of the handsome platform. Looking in the direction of the ancient city of Bianjing, he said in a deep voice the current situation in the city:
"From yesterday evening until sunrise today, overnight, some of the people in the ancient city of Bianjing fled from the giant city, and most of them were instigated by our enemies to enter the imperial city. β
This news has not yet spread in the military camp stationed ten miles outside Bianjing City, and all the generals are puzzled when they hear it for the first time, and immediately cast an inquiring glance at the commander!
"I have asked General Wang Deshan, the chief general of the forbidden army, that it is said that in the past two years, there has been no movement in the imperial city, not only can no one enter, but some people have seen birds flying through the air and are blocked! Therefore, there must be something strange about the imperial city!"
The people in the tent gasped, all of them were amazed!
"My lord Yingzong was already in that imperial city, and now, the people have been coaxed into moving into it. After no less than 100,000 people entered, the gates of the city were closed and not opened, and no food, grass, or water were brought into it..."
"No! 100,000 people enter the city, even if there is a grain reserve in the city, there are not so many cooking utensils for cooking on the fire, and they should not be able to stay for half a day!"
"I accompanied Li Shuai to meet with General Wang Deshan, General Wang once said that the 2,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city had not appeared again until two years ago, and there was no army to protect the city, so let the people enter the city to act as a defender?"
"That's even more wrong, since the assembly of our army, the march all the way is known to the world. The march did not go to the siege of the city, but camped ten miles outside the city. If the enemy in the imperial city is afraid that he will be invincible, and he will abandon the city and run away, why send the people into the city?"
"If the people who killed the three shadow guards were accomplices with the enemies in the city, then they must have some unusual and evil methods!
The generals are also in line with Bai Li, and they are already deeply aware of this obvious conspiracy!
"You are right, the enemy in the city has this action, this commander is the same as you, although he can't fully understand his plot, but it can be sure that it must be bad for the people!"
Bai Li's eyes were resolute, he looked at the generals below, and asked:
"Where are the generals?!"
"The last general!"
"What are we gathered here?!"
"Kuang Sheji, help the Song Lord!"
"This battle is difficult, do you know?!"
"Buried bones on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, my wish!"
"The people are in trouble, to save or not?!"
"Protect Song Realm, bless my people, my generation's duty!"
"I am Bai Li, the younger brother of Bai Rong, the Marquis of Shu Yinghou of the Bai family, and I am temporarily the commander of the army.
"I am willing to obey the orders of the commander and let me be sent!"
At this moment, Bai Li and the twenty elite generals below all felt the solemn intention of the tent from each other's eyes, and their blood was rolling!
"Sure enough, they are all Zheng Zheng men, then listen to my first order today! The whole army will march out and enter the big city first! The ninth battalion of the Chinese army will line up with the south gate of our imperial city, and the remaining eleven battalions will surround the remaining eleven city gates on the north and south!
Bai Li paused slightly, and then added:
"If you are defeated, you will send you a message of the red whistling arrows I sent to you, so that I can mobilize reinforcements!"
"The last general commands!"
γγγ
"Tut-tut, it's finally going to start, it's really making me wait!"
