Chapter 111: Situation Analysis

As soon as Li Yu spoke, Li Si reacted that the most important thing in his current trip was not the word Overseer.

After all, Zhang Han, who was once a logistics official, can be appointed by the First Emperor as a general, which is enough to show that Zhang Han must be extraordinary.

Otherwise, with the Lishan army, which was born as a 200,000 prisoners, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to defeat the Lingnan rebels.

Therefore, the First Emperor's arrangement of the Overseers was fake, and it was the key to let Li Si and Li Yu choose one of the two dragon sons to assist them.

As for the outcome of the battle, it is not what Li Si should be concerned about.

And Li Yu happened to remind himself that Liston was a little grateful, and although he didn't speak, he nodded slightly.

Seeing that Li Si understood, Li Yusui thought of the content of Yu Shitong's words just now, and asked: "Just now, Lord Yu said that General Zhang Han has 80,000 people?" ”

Yu Shitong nodded hurriedly and said, "Exactly." ”

"In other words, General Zhang Han's soldiers are divided into two roads, so who is in charge of the other road?"

Yu Shitong thought about it for a moment and said, "This subordinate has never heard General Zhang Han mention it. ”

Li Yu nodded, his expression moved, and he said in his heart: Since Chen Qingzhi and his party are with Zhang Han, then the other army must be led by Zhang Han's deputy general or Lang Qi.

After all, there is no more suitable candidate in the Lishan army to lead the army alone.

Li Yu couldn't help but flash a trace of worry in his heart, so he shook his head and said, "Lord Xiangguo, without further ado, why don't you and I say goodbye?" ”

Liston was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: So suddenly?

Are you really planning to leave five hundred guards to fend for yourself?

Li Si thought about it, but still felt that it was inappropriate, so he said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the prince to arrange it like this, you must know that His Majesty the First Emperor's original intention is to let the two of us go south to the front line to supervise the army, and even have the intention of assisting."

If you and I go separately, not to mention that we can't catch up with most of General Zhang Han's men and horses now, it will be a good thing when the battle situation on the southern front is chaotic and the enemy is inseparable, and the rebels will use this as a threat, making the imperial army a rat trap.

You and I have a small life, and it affects the war situation. ”

……

Li Yu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and looked at Li Si's old face and suddenly felt a little stranger.

But then after thinking about it, I understood that the reason why Li Si said so much was because of his desire to survive.

"I can understand Lord Xiangguo's worries, but now the situation is different, since Your Majesty is reluctant to send a large army to escort me and others, we can't stay in Changsha City and do nothing, right?"

Li Si nodded and said: "The situation of the empire is known to the prince, not to mention that the duty of the guards is to protect Kyoto, this can't all be blamed on His Majesty the First Emperor, the prime minister just purely thinks that the prince walks with me, so that he can make better use of the five hundred guards outside the city......"

Before Li Si's words fell, Li Yu could only roll his eyes in his heart, sighed silently and said, "Since this is the case, then Lord Xiangguo will walk with me." ”

Before Li Si could speak, he heard Li Yu add: "However, I want to state in advance, since Lord Xiangguo is with me next, then everything that happens next will have to listen to me." ”

Li Si's face changed when he heard this, but he didn't think of a good way at the moment, so he could only nod lightly and said: "I have long heard that the prince and the prince have quelled the rebellion of the Yue people, and they have conquered the Yue army for their own use. ”

After Li Si finished speaking, he only saw Li Yu grinning.

"It's good that Lord Xiangguo can say this, of course, I'm also afraid that in the future, you and I will have our own opinions and delay the fighter plane."

As soon as Li Yu's words came out, Li Si couldn't help but roll his eyes, and two words popped up in his heart: "It's weird!"

Li Yu has been acting for so long, Li Si, as a human spirit, how can he not see the reason, but he feels that it is tiring for the two of them to continue like this, so he took a step forward.

Li Yu was naturally full of joy, after all, it was still very rewarding to let Li Si, who was dignified and compromised, to make concessions.

At this moment, I saw a civil official running in panting and said, "Lord Qiyu County Guard, I just received a confidential document from the front line. ”

Yu Shitong didn't dare to delay, so he quickly got up and took the envelope and handed it to Li Yu.

At this moment, Yu Shitong didn't forget to sneak a glance at Li Si's expression, but fortunately, Li Si was not unhappy, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But I can't help but be imprudent with Shitong, and in today's situation, Yu Shitong has also lived for a long time.

Although Li Yu has a knighthood, he has no official position, and it stands to reason that Li Si, the prime minister, is the one who has the right to speak.

But the result is just so surprising, Xiangguo Li Si and Xianjun Hou Li Yu can't see any too strong words, but Li Si gave in is a clear fact.

Since Li Yu has the right to speak, he naturally won't bother with these.

After reading the letter, Li Yu didn't speak, just handed the letter to Li Si, and after Li Si finished reading it, he said out loud: "What do you think, Lord Xiangguo?" ”

Li Si's expression moved, and he looked at Yu Shitong and said: "Judging from the content of the letter, General Zhang Han didn't know that His Majesty had sent you and me south, so he just informed Lord Yu that there might be enemy movements in southern Xiangnan, and asked Lord Yu to be careful to garrison Changsha." ”

Yu Shitong's face changed when he heard this, so he arched his hand and said, "This ...... What should be done to the lower officials? ”

Li Si then looked at Li Yu, after all, he agreed to Li Yu's matter, and Li Si would not slap himself.

Li Yu was stunned when he saw this, and then waved his hand and said: "Lord Yu doesn't need to panic, General Zhang Han's letter only said that it is possible, besides, the rebels failed to attack the city before, and it is unlikely that they will attack the city again." ”

Hearing Li Yu's casual analysis, Yu Shitong's tense old face relaxed, and said, "What Lord Junhou said is that the lower officials may be too nervous. ”

Looking at Yu Shitong's appearance, Li Yu couldn't help but think of Zhao Hongming, the guard of Huiji County, and Meng Zhizhou, the guard of Lujiang County.

Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no contrast!

"Then I don't know what the prince thinks, do you and I still want to go south to find the headquarters of Zhanghan?"

Seeing Li Si asking, Li Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "Naturally, I want to go, but Zhang Han's letter mentions that the other army is under the command of the deputy general Hong Sheng, although it is only to remind Lord Yu to pay attention to distinguishing between the enemy and me, but it has never been impossible to see that the other army led by this deputy general Hong Sheng has suffered defeat." ”

Li Si's expression moved, and he was surprised: "How can you see it?" ”

Li Yu looked calm and said: "Since Zhang Hanqu's department gave up the waterway, he planned to go straight to Hainan County, and Hongsheng's army wanted to go straight to the vicinity of Lingqu to block and cut off the rebels from returning to the nest from the beginning, but judging from the analysis of the content of the letter, it was obvious that it could not be blocked, and it also suffered a defeat. ”

Li Si, Yu Shitong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and Yu Shitong even shouted: "The 100,000 army failed to stop the retreating rebels? This...... Impossible. ”

Li Yu shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The Lingnan Army has been marching south for many years, and now although it has rebelled, it has already eaten through the area south of the river and on both sides of the Xiangshui River, and Zhang Han had to divide his troops into two ways at the beginning, and now he wants to win with the Lishan Army......"
