The news reached the north shore and was soon reported to Li Po.

The situation is a bit bad, the Tang army came much faster than expected, which is directly related to Wang Shichong's defeat too simply.

Speaking of which, Li Po's state is a little strange now.

He was worried about whether the army could cross the Yellow River completely, and constantly issued orders urging everyone to lead the troops to cross the river as soon as possible, but his own mentality became more and more relaxed as time passed.

The military order was casually adjusted, and he was constantly adjusting the deployment of the army, and he himself felt that his calm mood was a little too much, and it didn't seem like he was fighting a crucial battle at all.

When the news of Tang Jun's exit reached his ears, it did not stir up many waves.

This is something that has been expected for a long time, there are not many Tang troops out of the customs, and they are divided into two roads, which makes him immediately feel that Li Jiancheng is just like this.

Unable to grasp the taboo of the person who led the troops, Li Jiancheng obviously made a mistake in judgment, otherwise he would never have sent only 20,000 infantry troops to Fengling Ferry.

As a result, there is a certain guarantee for the army to cross the river.

His calm and relaxed mind made his grasp of the rhythm of the war more acute and accurate, and then his confidence increased.

Obviously, as the commander of the army, it was different from when he fought with Li Shentong and led the army to attack Pusaka, and Li Po made significant progress.

He was more proficient in marching and warfare, and as in many previous battles, he was confident that he could achieve victory and bear the consequences of defeat.

In other words, this battle is very important, he knows that victory can bring a new situation, but defeat is also within his tolerance, he is now just stopping on the bank of the Yellow River, watching the battle coldly, and no longer has the slightest idea of personally coming to the battle and leading the army to victory.

If this had been left behind, and in the event of such a fighter and some disadvantage on his side, he might have immediately crossed the river to lead the troops into battle.

This is obviously a change after ascending to the throne of the Han Dynasty, and of course, there is also the accumulation of leading troops to fight for many years at a role.

Now his first thought was to transfer Zhang Shigui back first, after all, this guy had not been able to get his trust for a long time, and then he wanted to order Zhang Lun to cross the river immediately.

After a few moments, he dismissed those thoughts.

If Li Jiancheng can play the bitter meat trick so superbly, he Li Po will admit it, Zhang Shigui has talent, and transferring him back to the north shore at this time can only make his people cold, and it will be difficult to envelop him again.

In fact, in the final analysis, there are still a lot of good generals under his command, but there are very few people who can make good suggestions strategically.

This is almost a typical case of a thousand troops who are easy to get and a general is hard to find, and the so-called one general is hard to find, which undoubtedly refers to the handsome talent who can take charge of himself, Wei Chi, Bu Qun and others are still on fire.

And Xu Shiji, Zhang Shigui, and Zhang Lun all have potential in this area in Li Po's eyes, but these three guys came too late, and they are active, a little disobedient, and it is difficult to compete with others in terms of military merits.

Therefore, he will give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions at the right time, and the current fighter seems to be good, he believes that if Zhang Shigui and Xu Shiji are attentive, 20,000 Tang troops will ...... Not much......

As for whether the two of them will die on the north bank "accidentally", Li Po said that he didn't care, he was concerned about whether the Fengling Ferry could be defended, once the two were not very powerful, he was afraid that he would wave his army to cross the river and storm the beachhead, thinking that the 20,000 Tang troops who had just fought a battle would not be able to stop the elite division of Jindi.

From this point, it can actually be seen that his temperament is indifferent and his ruthlessness is no different from Wang Shichong and others, the difference is only that his way of winning people's hearts is more clever.

"Send an order to General Zhang, let him stand by with the whole army, be ready to cross the river at any time, let people transport troops and baggage across the river first, be fast, connect some more iron cables, and use boats to transport as many things as possible."

"Send an order to Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui, let them try their best to appease the surrendering army, adapt to the situation, and if they can't stop the enemy, take the head to see them."

"Sent an order to all departments, cross the river overnight tonight, no one can rest, let them not have their turn, repair on the spot, if there is a mess when crossing the river, they will be disposed of as a delay in the fighter."

"Send someone to Pusaka and pass the order to General Wei Chi, I must drag Li Shenfu on the other side of the river for me, if I let him divide his troops to help Tongguan, he will not have to be the general of Weifu."

"Send someone to destroy the grain and grass behind you, and you are still walking slowly at this time, you think my knife is not good, right?"

In fact, the grain and grass on the shore was enough for the army to eat for more than two months, but Li Po continued to order people to transport grain to the shore, because he had a long-term view, and as soon as the beachhead was taken, there were seven or eight thousand more troops who surrendered.

Judging by this rate, no amount of grain and grass is enough.

In fact, it was also the case, without waiting for the Tang army to arrive, Wang Shiwei and Yang Gongqing, the kings of Chu, arrived first, so the army on the south bank quickly broke 10,000.

These guys are about to run out of breath, if it weren't for Niu Jinda, Shen Qingnu, Liu Anshi and others, the chaotic deserters walked to the shore and looked at the pontoon bridge on the river, maybe they would rush to the bridge first and make a mess of things.

Niu Jinda's old department naturally returned to Niu Jinda's command, which saved a lot of trouble, otherwise, these guys who fled for their lives in a hurry might have to shed a lot of blood, and first add some spice to the war that will take place.

Wang Shiwei and Yang Gongqing are relatively big, Xu Shiji is not easy to deal with, so he can only send someone to send him across the river.

As for whether it is lucky or unlucky, it can only depend on the outcome of this battle.

There is no doubt that Li Po's employment has slowly entered a new stage, and in this year, there have been more and more people who have taken the initiative to vote, and these people have more or less flaws, but their talents are more conspicuous.

This shows that Li Po, the Han king who possessed the Jin land, is gradually increasing his attraction to talents, and Li Po is forced to make changes, and everyone's talents are becoming more and more important in Li Po's mind, and loyalty has given way to the main position.

This kind of change is not good or bad, but it is actually the vision, after all, it has not yet reached the point of thirst for talent, according to Li Po's preference, he is also more willing to appoint young officials and generals.

………………………………

Xu Shiji, who was finally able to come out to "let off steam", did not realize this, he was worried that Zhang Lun's battle flag would appear on the pontoon, and at the same time he was also working hard to establish meritorious service.

After sending people across the river to report the military situation, they immediately recruited Niu Jinda and others.

"The generals abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, His Royal Highness was very happy, I should have sent you across the river to meet His Royal Highness the King of Han, so that you can feel at ease, but you can get the reward, Wang Shichong was defeated and left, under the great victory of the Tang army, he has been out of the customs, Sang Xianhe led 20,000 soldiers to me......"

Speaking of this, Xu Shiji glanced at several Henan generals with different expressions, Niu Jinda and Shen Qingnu were a little nervous, and immediately frowned when they heard this, Yuan Cong and Liu Anshi have always been half-dead, and they moved their bodies uneasily, and they also supported their ears.

Niu Jinda was very bold, and after a little groaning at this time, he spoke: "The general wants us to guard the village together?" There will be no side to say in the end, but ...... His subordinates have just experienced a battle, and the enemy army has ......."

Just as he was about to say more, Shen Qingnu next to him quietly dragged him and interrupted him, "Don't worry, general, since we have voted for the King of Han, we will naturally go all the way to the end, and the two of us will listen to the general's orders." ”

Niu Jinda snorted twice like a cow, and finally hammered the breastplate with all his might, as if he could hammer his determination out.

Xu Shiji nodded with satisfaction, it is indeed not very reassuring to use people in Henan, he knows better than Li Po in this regard, but the difference between him and Li Po is that he has been in Henan for a long time, how to make these guys use some of them, he knows in his heart.

Niu Jinda led the old foundation of Shandong Zhang Xutuo, who was very capable of fighting under the command of Wei Gong at the beginning, and now it is estimated that it is about the same, as long as the bull head is pressed, the others will be nothing.

When he turned his head to look at Yuan Cong and Liu Anshi again, there was some sternness and threat in his eyes, "What do you two say?" ”

What else is there to say, Yuan Cong has long been frightened and threw the glory of his ancestors out of the clouds, and the soldiers led by Liu Anshi are the most complete, but at this time, they will definitely not jump out like a fool, stretching out their heads and sticking their heads under the knife.

At this time, maybe people need a head to stimulate the morale of the military, and Liu Anshi feels that his head is actually quite suitable.

The two guys opened their mouths in unison to guarantee their determination to resist the enemy together.

Xu Shiji waved his hand, "Okay, since that's the case, there's no need to say more, a few generals will go back to reorganize the army and listen to my orders......

Looking at the faces of several people beating their chests and responding to the peace, but looking extremely ugly, Xu Shiji smiled: "A few generals don't need to be careful, there are many enemy soldiers, and they can be elite, but in my eyes, it is not difficult to break it...... After that, a few people each picked out a thousand elites, and then they followed the ......"

"A few and relax, the king has always treated people preferentially, and he will not be like Wang Shichong, wanton suspicion and killing, after this battle, everyone has merit, and when you go to see the king, it's easy to talk, isn't it?"

I have to say that Xu Shiji's rhythm of speaking is becoming more and more similar to Li Po, and he is more disciplined than before, this is not to learn, but to have more resources, plus being picked by others, it is difficult to make progress.

When Yuan Cong and Liu Anshi heard this, they immediately felt a little relieved, looked at each other, and left together, Xu Shiji left Niu Jinda and Shen Qingnu a little.

"The two of them have the merit of receiving the army to cross the river, and they will have to contribute to this battle, and the credit is not small, and the king will be able to reward him more...... That's all it takes, the two of them should be cherished, hehe, it's rare for newcomers to be like two generals. ”
