Because the war was urgent, and Fang Yi was wounded, Li Xiaoyi set off with the army the next day, and Fang Yi followed with a small number of follow-up troops.

By the time the army led by Fang Yi and Li Xiaoyi on the front line met and reconciled, it was already half a month later.

In the past half a month, Li Xiaoyi has had several battles with Xu Jingye, without exception, Li Xiaoyi, who is not good at using soldiers, has failed, and at this time the morale of the army has begun to be low, and all the soldiers have begun to be dissatisfied with Li Xiaoyi, the incompetent commander.

Just after Fang Yi walked into Li Xiaoyi's handsome tent, Li Xiaoyi began to complain from afar.

"Brother Nengchen! I've said before that I really don't know how to fight, and I don't even know why you recommended to Your Majesty that I be in command of the army! Look at it, three battles and three defeats, how do you say this battle will be fought? ”

The two guards pushed Fang Yi's wheelchair and came to Li Xiaoyi's side.

Fang Yi looked at Li Xiaoyi with a smile, everything is the same as the real history, Li Xiaoyi did lose several battles at the beginning, the only difference is that it was Wei Yuanzhong who stayed by Li Xiaoyi's side in history, and now he has been replaced by himself.

"Brother Xiaoyi, you lost all three battles, how much damage?"

"More than 3,000!"

"That's not a lot! It's completely within acceptable limits! Fang Yi patted Li Xiaoyi's right arm, "You also said that you won't lead troops to fight, and you will only lose more than 3,000 losses after losing three battles, and you don't know how to fight at all!" ”

"I ......" Li Xiaoyi was speechless for a while, and had to sigh helplessly, "Brother Nengchen!" It just so happens that you're here too, and there's something I'd like to discuss with you! I want to retire to Xuzhou! It is impossible to win a battle, it is impossible to win a battle in this life, the troops are limited, the food and grass are tight, and the enemy army is strong, so you can only rely on the tall Xuzhou city wall to maintain your life! ”

"No! Absolutely not! Without thinking about it, Fang Yi rejected Li Xiaoyi's suggestion to retreat to Xuzhou to defend it.

"Why? We can't beat it! Li Xiaoyi cried and stared at Fang Yi with a helpless expression.

Fang Yi thought about it carefully, although he had not studied Xu Jingye's offensive, but relying on his understanding of Tang history, Fang Yi still calmly began to analyze the reasons why Li Xiaoyi could not withdraw from the army.

"First, you are a clan relative surnamed Li, you must move forward bravely! If you retreat from the war, what will Your Majesty think? Will you suspect that you and Xu Jingye are colluding? When the time comes, a cool official like Junchen will slander you casually, and you will die! ”

"......" Li Xiaoyi was silent.

"Second, don't look at Xu Jingye's arrogance now, his defeat is decided, now is a good time to defeat Xu Jingye and make meritorious contributions, how can you miss it?"

"Huh?" Li Xiaoyi looked at Fang Yi with a surprised expression, "Brother Nengchen, are you sure...... Are you saying that Xu Jingye's defeat is decided, not that our defeat is decided? Tell me why Xu Jingye's defeat has been decided? ”

"Xu Jingye is short-sighted! If I were Xu Jingye, I would definitely send troops north and take Luoyang directly! But this guy, after occupying most of Huainan Road, actually retreated south to Shengzhou! The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly! Xu Jingye has already delayed a great fighter! ”

Fang Yi paused and continued: "What slogan is Xu Jingye shouting? Recover Li Tang! Look at what he did! Zhu Wenming said very clearly that he supported the prime minister Li Dan, but Xu Jingye casually found a civilian in the market to pretend to be the late former prince Li Xian, and he held the power himself, King Qin is fake, and the rebellion is real! This is a heavenly victory! The people of the Taiping world are unwilling to fight, Xu Jingye's rebellion is unpopular, this is a victory! Although our army was defeated in three battles, the quantity and quality of our army still prevailed, Your Majesty knows how to make good use of people, and reuses Brother Xiaoyi, but Xu Jingye does not use a strategist Wei Siwen, this is a human victory! ”

Li Xiaoyi buried his head and pondered for a moment, and couldn't help muttering: "The time and place are favorable...... We all have the upper hand...... Hiss...... Brother Nengchen, you're right...... We have the upper hand in everything, so why should we retreat and hold on? I'm Shabi, I'm me? ”

Chen behind Fang Yi naturally also showed a look of surprise.

Naturally, Chen has been around Fang Yi for a while, and he knows Fang Yi's every move well.

Fang Yi didn't do anything except eat, drink, and sleep for a while, and Chen naturally felt that he might think highly of Fang Yi.

But what Fang Yi said now really surprised Chen Naturally.

What does it mean to know everything about the world without leaving home?

Maybe Fang Yi is!

It seems that he has not done anything, but he knows Xu Jingye's movements and actions well!

It's just too strong!

Such a person is a real hero!

Li Xiaoyi grabbed Fang Yi's right hand: "Brother Nengchen, what Your Majesty said is really right, you are really a capable minister who rules the world and a hero in troubled times!" From now on, I will listen to you, and I will do what you say! You say, what are we going to do next? ”

"All that Xu Jingye gathered is some rabble, victory and courage are scattered, we only need to win a skirmish to crush the morale of this rabble!"

"Then you say, who to hit? We are facing Xu Jingye's three-way army, the middle army is Xu Jingye, the left wing is Xu Jingyou, and the right wing is Wei Siwen! Whoever you say, I'll hit whomever I want! ”

"Wei Siwen still has something, and he needs to be cleaned up at the end! Xu Jingye's Chinese army is the largest and strongest in number, and it is not suitable to fight him for the time being, Xu Jingyou on the left wing is the most suitable! As far as I know, Xu Jingyou is a gambler, and he doesn't know how to fight before you! Just hit him! Fang Yi gritted his teeth.

"What do you mean by not being able to fight than me? Why does that sound weird to me? Li Xiaoyi was slightly stunned, "Wow, forget it!" Whatever, just beat Xu Jingyou! How you say to fight, I will fight as much as I want! ”

Fang Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Tiantian: "How do you think we should fight?" ”

Chen naturally tested Fang Yi, and Fang Yi naturally needed to test Chen Tiantian.

Chen Tianzhi was slightly stunned at first, and in the face of Fang Yi's expectant eyes and Li Xiaoyi's hot eyes, Chen Tianzhi arched his hand towards the two of them, and expressed his views without humility or arrogance.

"What Lord Taishi Ling said hit the nail on the head! My suggestion is also to attack Xu Jingyou, the weakest link, and you need to attack with all your strength to kill with one blow! As for how to fight ......"

Chen naturally hesitated for a moment and gave his own suggestion: "I think Xu Jingye already knows that Lord Taishi Ling will meet with General Zuo Wuwei with the follow-up troops, but Xu Jingye doesn't know how many people Lord Taishi Ling has brought over!" ”

"So?"

"Therefore, we only need to leave 10,000 troops here, and the rest of the troops will start tonight and attack Xu Jingyou in three days! In order to prevent Xu Jingye from attacking the 10,000 troops we left here, we can plant flags in the camp tent, and the sergeants hide outside the camp every night, and return to the camp with a swagger of reinforcements during the day the next day, so that Xu Jingye doesn't know how many reinforcements we have, and he doesn't dare to take the initiative to attack, and when he receives the news of Xu Jingyou's defeat, our victorious army has been killed! ”

Fang Yi's eyes lit up, isn't this the trick that Dong Zhuo used to hide from the sky and cross the sea after entering Beijing during the Three Kingdoms period?

"Wonderful! So be it! Without further ado, prepare now! ”
