Late at night, the entire Chang'an City fell asleep, but the Taiji Palace was brightly lit.

Li Er held his hands behind him, looked thoughtfully at the sand table in front of him, and was silent.

Yes, it's the sand table, since Li Zexuan made the sand table of Yanhuang Academy last year, the sand table was finally used in the war for the first time.

"Report~!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei has an urgent matter to report!"

At this moment, an attendant rushed in and bowed.

A light flashed in Li Erhu's eyes, and he turned around and said, "Let him in!" In the future, when the green finch comes to the Manna Palace, there is no need to spread it! ”

"Whoa!"

The chamberlain gave up his hand and retired, and after a while, Li Tai walked in with a piece of letterhead, he raised the letter above his head, and said: "Enlighten my father, the army on the front line has sent an urgent report, and I ask my father to take a look!" ”

"Oh! Check it out with me! ”

Li Er impatiently walked to Li Tai's side, took the information, and began to look at it carefully.

"There are 300,000 troops in Zhengzhou? Cui Junxuan, this old thing, I'm afraid that the entire Zhengzhou Youth Recruitment has been emptied, right? Fortunately, Duan Zhixuan, Ren Can, and Wang Yu arrived in time with the army, otherwise Luoyang would be in danger! ”

After a while, Li Er put down the information and whispered to himself.

Li Tai stood aside, silent, this telegram was translated by him himself, of course he knew what it was about.

"What do you think, Qingque?"

Li Er glanced at Li Tai next to him, his heart moved, and he asked out loud.

This son of his used to like to hang around him, Li Er knew why, it was just to compete for favor. But since Li Tai went to Yanhuang Academy, this kid has been obsessed with some strange things all day long, he heard that the Wei Wangfu has built a "laboratory" to tinker with some strange things, and the little fat man who used to surround him every day and shout "Father, Father" is no longer gone!

Every time he thinks of this, Li Er is relieved at the same time, but it is inevitable that he will be a little lonely!

"Father, the military affairs, the sons dare not have any opinions! And the minister believes that with the wisdom of his father, the rebels are like grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't stumble for a few days! If the father is fine, the son will retire first, and if there is an emergency report on the front line, the son will come to tell the father again! ”

Li Tai arched his hand and said.

From the day the army left Beijing, he was "invited" to leave and was "invited" back to Chang'an by Li Er from Yanhuang Academy, specifically responsible for communication with the front line, he was also quite interested in this, so he came back half-pushed and half-on-the-spot!

However, he was interested in the first practical use of the new technology of the telegraph, not the situation on the front line!

To put it bluntly, he's a tech nerd right now!

"Oh well! You've worked hard these days~! ”

Li Er saw that Li Taixin was not here, so he had to say helplessly.

"The sons are not hard, the father rests early, and the sons and daughters retire!"

Li Tai arched his hand and said goodbye and left!

"The three-way army is combined into one army, encircling the point to send reinforcements, what the pharmacist did, it is very satisfying! I want to see how much power is hidden behind your Cui family! ”

After Li Tai left, Li Er looked down at the information on the dragon case and muttered to himself.

The reason why he did not nip the rebellion in the bud was mainly because Li Er wanted to see how much power the Cui family secretly hid, or how many people were willing to rebel with the Cui family, he wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, and he wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the remnants of these families!

And Li Jing's strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements can be said to be exactly what he wants.

"However, after this battle, Zhengzhou is bound to lose a large number of young and strong laborers, and the people's livelihood will wither, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fully recover in the next ten years, how can this be good?"

After a while, a look of melancholy appeared on Li Er's face, and he sighed softly.

…………………………

"Report~!"

"General Qiyu, the chief manager has an order, the Xuanjia army and the 150,000 state capital soldiers and horses should strictly guard the city, beware of the reinforcements from other states and counties of the Zheng family and the Boling Cui family, the three-way army carried by the chief will arrive before dark~!"

The next day, a herald rode a fast horse and galloped to the Xuanjia Army's central army tent in the south of Guancheng County, and held his fist at Duan Zhixuan.

When Duan Zhixuan heard this, he suddenly got up and said, "You said that the rebels in the city still have reinforcements near Zhengzhou?" Is the message accurate? ”

Obviously, he also realized that if the Cui family's rebels formed a flank attack on them inside and out, it would be extremely unfavorable to them!

"Enlightenment...... General Qiyu, the general manager also obtained the information from within Guancheng County, and the credibility is extremely high, and I hope that the general can deal with it carefully......"

The herald replied, and then fainted!

He was so tired that he was so tired!

"Quick! Come, help him to the side tent to rest! ”

Duan Zhixuan hurriedly shouted outside the tent, and then two sergeants came in and carried the herald away!

And he instructed to the left and right: "Wu Feng, Zheng Li, immediately send scouts to investigate along the southern part of Zhengzhou, and if you find the enemy, come back immediately and report to the general!" ”

"Honorable Order~!"

The two generals arched their hands and immediately went out.

Duan Zhixuan thought about it, and then walked out of the big tent, "Come on, prepare horses, follow me to the East City Gate camp!" ”

………………………………

"Drive~! Drive~! ”

"Hurry, hurry! Keep up! All the rest are keeping up! You must arrive in Guancheng County before dark~! ”

On the official road north of Xuzhou, an army of tens of thousands of people galloped across the country, the generals in front were galloping on war horses, and the soldiers on foot behind were chasing wildly.

"Hey! I heard that the 300,000 troops in Guancheng County were surrounded by the 150,000 troops outside the city, if you want me to say, then Cui Quan is really useless, if you let Lao Tzu lead the army, you will be sure to kill the imperial army~! Hey! ”

Next to the army, there was a small group of people who did not wear army armor, all of them were armed with strange blades, and their appearance was even more bohemian, and they were dressed quite casually, as if they were not going to the battlefield, but to some grand event!

They are the masters of the rivers and lakes that Cui and Zheng have raised over the years!

And the rest of them are the secret guards of the Cui and Zheng families!

Who would have thought that these two families would hide their soldiers and horses in Xuzhou south of Zhengzhou in advance?

"Hey! Wang Tieshou, you are really ashamed, it is said that the imperial court sent the Xuanjia Army this time, just with your three-legged cat kung fu, I'm afraid you won't be able to go in three rounds in the Xuanjia Army, right~? ”

Another man with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes laughed when he heard this.

"Phew! Flower the sword, you kid say it again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut off the root of your life, and let you go to harm other people's yellow flower girls again~! ”

"Eh, eh! Joke! Joke! Don't mind, Big Brother Iron Hand! ”

………………………

Guancheng County.

Since the people learned yesterday that the soldiers outside the city were pressuring, there have been more and more voices discussing the Cui family in private and being dissatisfied with the Cui family!

However, due to the fact that the soldiers and horses of the Assassin's Mansion not only strengthened the city defense, but also strengthened the patrol in the city, and arrested several groups of people who "spread rumors and make trouble", so that the people did not dare to talk nonsense outside at all!

As the saying goes, if you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence.

The more oppressive something is, the more it will bounce back, and the longer it is silent, the more violently it will bounce back in the end!

For example, public opinion!

An invisible anger is brewing in Guancheng County, but those dreamers who are still immersed in killing Guancheng and going to dominate the side elsewhere, they don't feel this trace of anger!

"Hey! Now the imperial army has surrounded the city, but the Cui family still has a dream of dominating the party, they have nothing to dream, but they have made us ordinary people suffer! In a few days, as soon as the imperial reinforcements come, they will attack the city, and we, the recruits guarding the city gate, will definitely be dead! ”

On the east city of Guancheng County, Liu Renliang looked at the dense military tents under the city and sighed deeply.

Behind him, on the right side, stood a guard with a pistol in his hand.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, the guard listened, his cheeks twitched imperceptibly, but out of fear of the generals in the camp, he didn't say anything, it can be seen that Liu Renliang shook his head, and after turning around to leave, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Brother Ren stays!" ”

"Oh! It's the king team of the sixth brigade! Just now...... You didn't hear anything, did you? ”

A hint of "surprise" flashed on Liu Renliang's face, followed by "fear", and he "cautiously" probed.

The guard shook his head with interest and said, "It's windy, Wang didn't hear anything!" ”

Liu Renliang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Oh! That's good! That's good! Huh? What is the matter with Team Wang calling Ren? ”

In fact, he just deliberately said those words in front of this person, and the background of this Wang team, he also investigated it clearly, his name is Wang Lang, he is the son of Lizheng in Wangjiazhuang outside the city, he was arrested a month ago and became a strong man, I don't know what means he used to mix up with the team leader of the sixth team of the ninth battalion, and he is quite popular with his subordinates!

What's more critical is that Wangjiazhuang outside the city has been bullied by the children of the Cui family over the years, which is also an important reason why Liu Renliang dared to say those taboo words in front of Wang Lang!

"Come, come, come! Brother Ren is talking here! ”

Wang Lang cautiously pulled Liu Renliang to the corner of the city wall, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother Ren, we Mingren don't say secret words, you just said that there will be reinforcements behind the imperial court, and the reinforcements will attack the city when they arrive, is it true?" You, don't worry, I will never tell others what you said to me, I, Wang Lang, dare to swear to the sky! ”

Liu Renliang originally wanted to "humble" two more sentences, so as not to suspect this kid, but when he heard Wang Lang being so sincere, he simply said directly: "Brother Wang, since you have said this, then I won't hide it from you, what I said just now was actually inadvertently heard from our Huang Shenjun, and he also said that when the imperial army attacked the city, let us recruits go to the front to die........."

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Renliang returned to his position and continued to stand guard.

"How? Army? Is it done? ”

Old Feng asked shyly.

"Hey! Needless to say? This should be the twelfth, right? It's almost enough! ”
