Even if the situation took a turn for the worse and Zhang Han's soldiers were in the city, Zhao Tuo still did not forget the ten partial generals who "heart-to-heart" served under the tent.

"As long as you can work together with all your heart to help Ben Shuai get through this hurdle, but after the fact, you will definitely not be disadvantaged."

"The last general will be on the road of barberry, and he should fight a bloody road with Zhao Shuai."

"The last general, Lin Ling, is willing to die for Zhao Shuai."

……

Zhao Tuo's four confidants, without exception, all came out of the list of loyalty, and even looked at the remaining six people in the end.

It has the meaning of "if you don't show loyalty, don't think of this door today".

Zhao Tuo looked at the people in the seat indifferently, and his fingers tapped lightly on the desk, as if he was waiting for everyone to give an answer.

……

The so-called: I am not forced by current affairs, but I want to save my family.

The remaining six people have survived to this day, and naturally they are not stupid and loyal people who have died for the empire, but they are deeply in harmony with the truth of seeking perfection.

At this point, Zhao Tuo said with a smile on his face: "Ben Shuai is working hard to achieve success, and I hope you will understand." ”

……

But it was said that Peng Li returned from the mansion, so he rushed into the house where Li Yu was, and said: "Lord Junhou, just now Zhao Tuo's guy forced me to show loyalty, I'm afraid that there will be a big move, and I'm afraid that Junhou's strategy can't be delayed any longer......"

Since returning from the fire, Li Yu has been lying on the bed alone, so that others can't see that there is no time at all.

I saw Li Yu shake his finger and said, "Listening to your previous description, Zhao Tuo has four henchmen, except for Lin Ling and Funiu Lu, who are the other two?" ”

The reason why Li Yu wanted to ask this was to confirm the conjecture in his heart.

Then I heard Peng Li reply: "In addition to Funiu Road, the second general Lin Ling, as well as the partial general Xiong Mo in charge of logistics, and the general of the navy Fatong." ”

Li Yu couldn't help but nodded, and then asked again: "I wonder which of these four people is more loyal based on General Peng's observation......

Peng Li was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Li Yu wanted.

Seeing this, Li Yu smiled, got up and said, "I'll ask you another way, do you think any of the generals under Zhao Tuo are loyal to His Majesty the First Emperor." ”

As soon as these words came out, Peng Li became more and more confused, and said in his heart: Isn't this obvious?

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yu seemed to mean something, Peng Yu frowned and thought for a moment, before he had an idea, and said, "My lord is talking ......."

"Shhh, it's good that General Peng knows it in his heart, of course, this is just my conjecture, not necessarily."

Seeing that Li Yu stopped him, Peng Li put away his surprised expression, and then said in disbelief: "This shouldn't be, the last general is already an old man in the Lingnan Army, so ...... Although that person has been working together for some years, he has always given people the impression that he is deeply trusted by Zhao Tuo, otherwise it would be impossible to hand over such an important position to him. ”

When Peng Yu said this, he felt a little imminent, but after all, it was just a guess, and Li Yu didn't dare to confirm it, so he changed his voice and asked, "What is the distribution of Zhao Tuo's troops now?" ”

Seeing that Li Yu changed the topic, Peng Li arched his hand and said: "The Lingnan Army claims to be only 200,000 people, but it does not include the defenders of Hainan County and the security army responsible for the surrounding security.

"Then how many men and horses does Zhao Tuo have?"

"There are 3,000 security troops in the county, 7,000 baggage soldiers in charge of logistics and materials, 30,000 defenders in the city, 100,000 western troops, 30,000 naval troops, 70,000 foot soldiers, and 10,000 cavalry......

Speaking of this, Peng Wei was a little helpless, so he added: "Zhao Tuo's troops are close to 250,000, but the previous sneak attack on Changsha County lost 10,000 naval troops, 10,000 foot soldiers, and 7,000 cavalry under the command of the last general. ”

Li Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said in his heart: Good guy, Baiyue has been suppressed for many years, and there are still 250,000 troops guarding Lingnan, I don't know what Lao Zhao thinks in his heart, he actually allows such a large army to eat food and salary.

Seeing Li Yu's surprised face, Peng Yan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what he wanted to say.

Then he saw Li Yu suddenly speak: "In this way, there are still 100,000 horses in Zhao Tuo's hands that can be mobilized?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Oh, by the way, earlier Zhao Tuo had sent someone to send an order for all the garrisons outside the city to withdraw to within five miles of Hainan County."

As soon as Peng Yu's words came out, Li Yu immediately stood up and exclaimed, "This is going to be strictly guarded?" That's not good......"

After all, Li Si is still guarding Zhao Tuo's county guard mansion at the moment, and if Zhao Tuo shrinks the defensive line, it means that the barbarian reinforcements are about to arrive.

And then maybe Zhao Tuo will make a desperate bet, and maybe he will be ruined.

While speaking, they only heard bursts of shouting and killing sounds in the city, which made Li Yu and Peng Li immediately stunned, and said in their hearts: Could it be that something has changed?

Just as the two of them went out to investigate the situation, they suddenly saw a person rushing into the mansion, but it was Qin Er who came to report: "Master Hou, there seems to be someone at the city gate who is pulling the door and wants to seize control of the city tower." ”

The incident happened suddenly, and Li Yuben wanted to wait and see, and when Zhao Tuo's army ran out of rations and the army's morale was floating, he would let Peng Li lead the troops to do something.

Unexpectedly, there is really an imperial response in the city, and the momentum is not an ordinary character.

It should be him, right?

Li Yu's heart moved, and then he spoke: "Except for Zhao Tuo's henchmen, how many men are there among the other generals?" ”

Peng Ling didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly responded to me: "Lin Ling commanded 30,000 troops, 10,000 Funiu Road foot soldiers, Fatong left 20,000 sailors, Xiong Mo's material army of 7,000 people, and other generals each led 5,000 people." ”

"And twenty-five thousand?"

"Led by Zhao Tuo himself, ......"

When Li Yu learned of Zhao Tuo's troop deployment, his face changed and he said in disbelief: "The total number of troops in the hands of the six of you is less than 30,000? ”

Based on Li Yu's understanding of the Qin army, a partial general serving in a legion has 20,000 troops in his hands.

At present, the strength of Peng Ling's six people is too different, which makes Li Yu a little unbelievable.

Then he heard Peng Li say with a sad face: "After all, the six of us are not trusted by Zhao Tuo, so the number of troops in our hands is a little less......"

When Li Yu heard this, he nodded, and then said: "Someone at the city gate raised troops to drag the door, which means that it is his own people, just to attract our attention." ”

Peng Yan was taken aback and said, "Does the prince want to?" ”

"You know where Zhao Tuo is holding the families of your six generals, right?" Seeing that Peng Li was puzzled, Li Yu suddenly looked at Peng Li angrily and said.

Peng Li immediately flashed a flash of joy, and hurriedly said: "I know, I know, it's in a residential area in the east of the city." ”

Before the words fell, Peng Li had already rushed out of the door excitedly, ready to rescue his wife and children.

Seeing this, Li Yu shook his head helplessly, then looked in the direction of the county guard mansion and said to himself: "It's a pity that there are only three thousand horsemen, and this time it is a little difficult." ”

"But even so, the destiny of heaven will not belong to you Zhao Tuo after all."
