Chapter 1296: Surprise Attack
Pingcheng. Eight?? One Chinese ≈ = ≤.≤8≥1≥Z≤≤.≤COM
The Great King's Mansion of the Southern Courtyard.
In that brightly lit hall, Li Yuan, the king of the Southern Courtyard, was sitting on it, listening to the latest battle reports of the generals.
"The 100,000 troops led by Han Xin, the general of Wei, have approached thirty miles east of Pingcheng, and it is expected to arrive in Pingcheng before noon tomorrow."
In the main hall, the expressions of the ministers of the Liao State changed.
Li Yuan also frowned, slapped his hand on the case, and said hatefully: "This Han Xin, this king really underestimated him, I didn't expect him to be so good, and in just a few days, he is approaching Pingcheng." ”
"King, if Han Xin is allowed to approach Pingcheng, it will definitely cause the hearts of the people in my southern courtyard to shake, and the last general will think that when Han Xin's foothold is not stable, he will surprise and lead the army to attack the Wei army, and he will definitely kill Han Xin by surprise and defeat the attacking enemy in one fell swoop."
In the midst of a mixture of surprise and anxiety, a military general in his early thirties with a confident expression stood up and asked for battle.
Li Yuan raised his eyes and swept away, the person who spoke was Li Jing.
In an instant, Li Yuan remembered the instructions left to him by his second son, Li Shimin, before leaving.
He wanted to say to Li Shimin that this Li Jing was an immortal general, and he used the military gods to come out of nowhere, and if Pingcheng was lost, he could pay all the military power to Li Jing, and he would preside over the overall situation and turn things around.
In the face of Li Jing's invitation to fight, Li Yuan frowned, feeling that this Li Jing's advance was too aggressive, and it was really a little unreliable.
Li Xiuning, the eldest daughter next to her, immediately retorted: "Li Jing, are you joking? That Han Xin is the first general under the command of Emperor Wei, and there are still 100,000 troops under his command, and I only have 10,000 soldiers and horses in Pingcheng, do you want to use only 10,000 horses to attack and break the 100,000 troops of other people? ”
In the main hall, there was a burst of ridicule, and most of the civil and military personnel were attached to Li Xiuning.
How powerful Han Xin is, the Liao people present, it is very clear, and what he Li Jing has ability, no one knows, but he knows that the second son Li Shimin said that he is very strong, how strong it is, even Li Yuan can't believe it.
Moreover, it is still an army of 10,000 to attack other people's army of 100,000, and no one will feel ridiculous when such arrogant ideas are said.
Li Jing didn't think so at all, but said confidently: "Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of winning more with less, and using weak enemies to be strong. ”
"You're so big!" Li Xiuning was disdainful and asked: "Why do we believe you, is it just a word from the third brother?" ”
Li Jing was speechless for a while, not knowing how to deal with it, so he had to look at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan pondered for a moment, but waved his hand and said: "General Li's courage is good, but what Ning Er said is also reasonable, that Han Xin's soldiers are treacherous, and they must not be underestimated, and there are more than 100,000 troops under his command, I think we should not act rashly, or stick to Pingcheng and be safe, and when Jiancheng and Shimin defeat the main force of the pottery thieves in Jinyang, then the Han thieves will definitely retreat without a fight." ”
"Father Wang is wise, Xiuning approves." Li Xiuning was busy.
The rest of the generals in the hall also attached themselves to the righteousness, and Li Jing had no choice but to retreat silently.
Li Yuan saw that no one objected, so he said: "Since everyone thinks that the king's plan is feasible, then it is decided, everyone will strengthen the city defense, and make a ...... as soon as possible."
"Newspaper—Southern Emergency—"
Before Li Yuan could say the word "prepare", a panicked scream interrupted him.
A scout rushed inside, knelt down, and exclaimed in a trembling voice: "King Qiyu, urgent report from the south, the eldest prince and the second prince were defeated by the pottery thieves a few days ago, Jinyang City was lost, our army suffered heavy losses, the second prince has been defeated at Yanmen Pass, and the eldest prince has also fallen into the hands of the Wei army, life and death are uncertain!" ”
Click!
A thunderbolt from the sky thundered in the hall, hitting Li Yuan's head who had just stood up, instantly making him dizzy, and he staggered and sat down, and his face was instantly occupied by endless consternation.
This news also caused an uproar in the hall for a while, and everyone, including Li Xiuning, fell into shock.
"Defeated? The people of the world have the magic weapon of Yuanba, how can they lose to the potter? Even if it was built—"
At this time, Li Yuan had thousands of thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't figure out why such a result occurred.
He couldn't be more clear about the strength of his stupid son Li Yuanba, that is the strength of the peak martial saint, let alone the 300,000 army of potters, even if the potters come with a million army, what is there to fear.
It was precisely because of the perverted strength of his stupid son that he dared to give birth to the ambition of betraying Yelu Abaoji and becoming a self-reliant, and he dared to take the initiative to invade Wei and challenge the invincible potters with only 50,000 soldiers and horses.
But now, his perverted son has been defeated!
Not only was he defeated, but even his eldest son, Li Jiancheng, was also lost.
"Why is this happening? The people of the world have a Yuan hegemon, how can they lose to the pottery merchants, this king doesn't believe it! This king doesn't believe it! Li Yuan came to his senses and yelled at the scout.
"Returning to the king, the third prince was invincible, and he almost killed the Wei Emperor potter, who expected that at the critical moment, the Wei general Xiang Yu appeared, his martial arts were on par with the third prince, and the third prince failed to kill the pottery merchant, and finally Jinyang City was also destroyed by Wei general Xiang Yu."
Another thunderbolt fell, Li Yuan's body shook again, his expression was even more shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xiang ...... Xiang Yu's martial arts also rushed to the peak of the martial saint? This-this-this-"
Li Yuan said the word "this" three times in a row, and he was shocked to the point that he didn't know what to say.
In the main hall, all the generals of the Liao Kingdom were also shocked, and they were all shocked by Xiang Yu, who had not kept his face for a long time, and as soon as he appeared, he was born out of thin air, and his martial arts rushed to the peak of the martial saint.
Li Xiuning, who was also shocked, was the first to calm down and sighed: "Father, my daughter has already said that Emperor Wei's pottery merchants are invincible in the world, and no one is invincible, but my father is trying to invade Wei by luck with only relying on the martial arts of his third brother, and wants to compete with the pottery merchants. ”
Li Yuan sat down on the throne with a lonely expression, and a trace of remorse couldn't help but appear in his eyebrows.
After being shocked for a long time, Li Yuan said to Li Xiuning: "As a father, you really shouldn't listen to Xiuning's advice and underestimate the strength of the Wei Emperor pottery merchant, to this point, Xiuning, what do you have in mind." ”
Li Xiuning took a deep breath and said with a straight face: "My daughter is still the same sentence, surrendering to the Lord of Wei and obeying the mandate of heaven is the only way out for our Li family." ”
Li Xiuning, in front of so many people, openly persuaded Li Yuan to commit treason!
You must know that not all of these civil and military courtiers present are loyal to him Li Yuan, many of them are still loyal to the Liao State and Yelu Abaoji.
Li Xiuning's words didn't push Li Yuan into the fire pit.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the civil ministers and military generals in the hall who were loyal to the Liao State were all in an uproar, and they all looked at Li Yuan in surprise, wanting to see his attitude.
Li Yuan was shocked, secretly scolded his daughter for being ignorant, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Xiuning, what nonsense are you talking about, this king and the khan are righteous brothers, the khan has the grace of knowing this king, and he has put his heart into this king, and entrusted this king to guard the important town of the southern courtyard, how can this king be ungrateful, betray my Da Liao, and betray the khan!" ”
"But my father ......"
"You don't have to say any more!" Li Yuan interrupted sharply, and shouted with a blue face: "This king will never betray, if you dare to say such a big rebellion again, don't blame this king for not remembering the relationship between father and daughter, and treat you for treason." ”
Li Xiuning was choked back, and there were empty words of indignation, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he had to shut his mouth sullenly.
Seeing that Li Yuan showed his loyalty to the Great Liao, those loyal ministers of the Liao State were all relieved, but it was still difficult to calm their anxious and panicked hearts.
It is no wonder that now that Jinyang has been lost, the more than 300,000 Wei troops led by Tao Shang will soon be killed from the south.
And Pingcheng is thirty miles away, Han Xin's 100,000 army is about to come to the city in the past, the situation has reached such a bad point, the situation in the southern courtyard can be said to be close to collapse, how can you not make the generals panic.
At this time, many people suggested to Li Yuan, asking him to send people to the grassland, and ask the Khan Yelu Abaoji to lead the main army to help, so as to solve the crisis in the southern courtyard.
Regarding the generals' suggestions, Li Yuan was silent and did not agree for a long time.
There is still a trace of unquenched ambition in his heart, if once he invites Yelu Abaoji to come, then his dream of conquering and annexing the state, establishing himself as a hero, and maneuvering between Liao and Wei will be shattered.
He was not reconciled.
Among the generals, only Li Jing saw through Li Yuan's thoughts, and said again: "The king, the last thought that we don't have to rush to the Khan for help, let the Khan feel that our southern courtyard is incompetent, if the king can trust the last general, the last general is still willing to lead the army to attack the Wei army, as long as we can break Han Xin's troops and horses first, we can reverse the disadvantage of the enemy on both sides, and the situation will still have room for redemption, I implore the king to think twice." ”
"So far, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I can't give up, and I can only believe in this Li Jing......"
Li Yuan weighed for a moment, his eyes suddenly ignited with determination, and he slapped the case suddenly, and said proudly: "Okay!" The people of the world said that you are a genius of the world, and this king will believe the words of the people, and this king will hand over all the 10,000 troops of Pingcheng to you, and sit back and watch you Li Jing achieve immortal feats! ”
