Li Xiu's first battle was frustrated, and Li Yuanze led two thousand cavalry to break the camp, after this battle, he was cowardly in his heart, ready to retreat!

And it happened that the scout came to report, saying that Song Wensong's army was detouring, and Song Wensong's goal should be to point to Shengjing, Li Xiu still had Shengjing's safety in his heart, and he thought that the prince was asking him to chase Song Wensong, and he must not let Song Wensong easily get out of Liaodong and go to Shandong.

Now that Song Wensong's army did not go east, but went west to outflank Shengjing, why did he continue to venture outside in this case? Wouldn't it be better to wait in Shengjing and wait for work?

Thinking so in his heart, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the strategists in the army came over and said: "General, the general of the prince let the general go out of the city to seek battle, and he must confront Song Wensong head-on, and he must not let this fang advance eastward!" ”

Li Xiu said: "The scout came to report, this Song Wensong did not go east, he was clearly going to the west, and he was going to besiege Shengjing from behind!" Could it be that the scout's message is still wrong? ”

"General, do you know that soldiers like to play tricks? Song Wensong's use of troops is the most deceitful, his use of troops is often uncertain, and now it must be false to go west, and its real intention should be to go to Shandong! ”

Li Xiu frowned slightly, silent, and after a long while, he said: "I am also a person who uses soldiers, of course I know that there is a saying about using soldiers, but I also know the truth that the king's life will not be affected outside!"

The prince asked me to abandon Sheng Jing to pursue Song Wensong, and his original intention was that I would rather abandon Sheng Jing and must take Song Wensong, if the two can't have both, Sheng Jing can give up, and Song Wensong must die!

But now the situation is different, Song Wensong is killing himself, not only did he not run, but he didn't seem to be convinced! Hmph, does he think that if Li Yuanze breaks my camp, I will hurt my vitality?

I just want to fight him again in Shengjing, and if he comes again this time, I will let him die without a place to be buried! ”

Li Xiu, as the main general, made a decision that other people could oppose it, but it must be carried out, so the army withdrew and returned to Shengjing City.

In fact, Li Xiu is still worried about Shengjing, and he doesn't mention anything else, because Li Xiu's interests are also in Shengjing. Lu Zheng rushed at Zhang Pinghua in Lianghe, and he was not at the scene of the fire that Chen Lizhong caused! He still thinks of the Li family in his heart now, and it is too difficult for him to give up Shengjing!

The first time he gave up Shengjing, it was because he had to do it, if he didn't abandon the city, then everyone and land would die, so how could he bear it?

But now the situation is different, Li Xiu thinks that he has enough strength to deal with Song Wensong, Song Wensong has lost thousands of men and horses after a defeat in Shengjing, and now Song Wensong is short of food and horse materials, in this case, Liaodong is no longer a situation that Song Wensong can control.

Li Xiu is mainly anti-guest, how can he regard himself as a weak person and want to abandon the city to make compromises?

Besides, Song Wensong led the army to feint, he just ran for a day, and the scout came to report that he received the news that Li Xiu had returned to the city for defense, and the whole army was very encouraged when he heard this news, Song Wensong said:

"Where is Li Yuan?"

Li Yuan, who had just won the battle, stepped forward and said loudly: "The end will be here!" ”

Song Wensong laughed and said, "Okay, good Yuan Zhi, you are really my Han Xin!" This battle is beautiful, come on, look at the reward! ”

Li Yuan was rewarded with a thousand gold, and he was promoted to the main general, because he is currently in the army, and he will talk about the upgraded official robes and soldiers and other items later!

After Li Yuanze received the reward, the morale of the generals under his command rose greatly, and they were eager to try one by one, seeing that their morale had recovered, Di Qinghai, who had not spoken, said:

"Everyone, we are all first-class elites of the Northwest Army! Do you know who this Li Xiu is? This person was the first prodigal son of the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River, and later went to prison for committing murder, and later joined the Nanfu Army by mistake, and met a noble man in the Nanfu Army all the way to today.

This person doesn't know how to learn, he is just brave, so it's not difficult to deal with this person at all! In this way, I can responsibly say that any one of our generals present can fight with him, and even surpass him!

Therefore, this time we will definitely succeed in attacking Shandong, just with Li Xiu's timid posture, can he stop us? ”

Di Qinghai's statement was more morale-boosting than Song Wensong's, because the army fought all the way from the northwest to Liaodong, and Song Wensong often made mistakes in the use of troops, and sometimes even put the army in danger.

But Di Qinghai is not, as long as Di Qinghai has said, there is no failure in the strategy that has been performed! This time Li Yuanze's night attack is the most typical example, Li Yuanze is only 2,000 people, and it is on other people's territory, the key is that Li Xiu is not an ordinary general, this person is best at head-to-head confrontation, but in such a situation, Li Yuanze actually made a contribution, is this thing strange? Is Di Qinghai powerful?

Now Di Qinghai is cheering them up, one sentence is 10,000 sentences, everyone's emotions have been mobilized for a while, and morale has soared, Song Wensong was very surprised when he saw this scene, and he was even more impressed by Di Qinghai's ability.

Immediately, he said: "Everyone, since this is the case, there is nothing to say, our whole army will be drawn and immediately go east, and strive to get out of Liaodong within two days and directly attack Shandong, the goal is to take Jeju!" ”

Song Wensong once again showed his courage as a hero at a critical time, he does have weaknesses in fighting wars, but his advantages are also very obvious, that is, he will not be intimidated when making decisions at critical times.

He is sometimes proud, often very inflated, and even once he is smooth, his decision-making can make people laugh, but at this time, his mind is very clear, that is, at any cost, he must attack Shandong.

This time, the troops went out of Lianshan to attack Liaodong, which originally occupied an advantage, but now that the advantage is gone, Liaodong has lost its value, and the new value is in Shandong!

The generals promised to act, Di Qinghai said: "Slow, it's good for us to run so fast, but I'm afraid there are still variables for Li Xiu!"

Li Xiu is like a wild dog, wild dogs are afraid of people, if we are fierce and put pressure on them, wild dogs will often run away in fright.

But sometimes we run fast and when we see a wild dog turn around and run, the dog thinks that we are afraid of him, and he will rush to us desperately. Once the wild dogs go crazy, it is very terrible, they dare to bite, dare to bite, we must have a strategy to deal with such animals! ”

Song Wensong was completely convinced by Di Qinghai at this time, Di Qinghai said this, Song Wensong hurriedly said: "Then what should we do now according to Mr.'s intentions?" ”

Di Qinghai laughed and said, "I still think that General Li Yuanze's meritorious service is too little!" At this time, I think we have to let Li Yuanze lead 2,000 men and horses to ambush in Karazikou, if we escape far away, Li Xiu will chase, and when he chases to Karazikou, General Li Yuanze can take advantage of the terrain to suddenly send troops and catch him off guard!

Haha, Li Xiu, when encountering this situation, he will inevitably be heartbroken and dare not chase after him, and may even immediately shrink back to Shengjing, once that happens, why do we need to be in such a hurry? Our army rushed to Shandong can be said to be very relaxed! Isn't it? ”

Song Wensong was stunned for a long time and was speechless, and after a long time, he said: "Mr. Di is really the world's Zhuge in the world, even if Lu Zheng personally guards Shengjing, he may not be able to see through this kind of scheme!"

Li Yuanze, do you dare to take over this task? Are you sure you're going to keep those bastards out of Karazi's mouth? ”

Li Yuan said loudly: "Don't worry, the prince can rest assured, Li Yuan will use his head to guarantee that Li Xiu will be hit hard again this time, so that Li Xiu will no longer have the ability to be our enemy!" ”

Song Wensong immediately ordered 20,000 horses for Li Yuanze, and then parted ways, Song Wensong directly led the main force to the southeast and marched quickly in the direction of Shandong.

Besides, after Li Xiu returned to Shengjing, the news of Shengjing arrived urgently every day and sent it to Lianghe. In addition, Shengjing's scouts deliver news outside every day. According to the news of the scouts, the Northwest Army, which had been outflanking Shengjing in a roundabout way, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and disappeared completely!

The next day, the scouts came with the news that Song Wensong's army had gone east and was preparing to cross the border of Liaodong and go straight to Shandong.

Hearing the news, Li Xiu thumped his chest and realized that he was afraid that his judgment was wrong! The strategists around him also spoke one after another, saying that Song Wensong could not be allowed to go to Shandong easily no matter what.

Li Xiu had no choice, so he immediately went to Lu Mansion again, and Lu Shanchang listened to Li Xiu's report, his face was extremely ugly, and he said:

"General Li, I'm old and shouldn't have interfered in military affairs! But the prince said that Shandong is the foundation of my Dakang, if Shandong is lost, where is my Dakang's social work?

Therefore, the order given to you by the prince is that you would rather abandon Liaodong than lose Shandong! At this time, you hesitated, you had a great opportunity to besiege Song Wensong, but the ghost made the gods slow because they couldn't let go of Liaodong, so you delayed the fighter plane, how could the prince spare you? ”

As soon as Li Xiu heard Lu Shanchang say this, his tears immediately flowed out, and he said:

"Old lady, wronged! It's really wronged! Old lady, think about it, Shengjing is so big, with so many wealthy and powerful lords, especially the old lady, you are in Shengjing, how can I, as the guard of Shengjing, abandon such a big city and ignore it?

Don't hide it from the old lady, I really can't do it! Now that Song Wensong has made the trend clear, I will personally lead the army to the expedition today, but after I go on the expedition, I hope that the old lady can control the people in the city, don't let the hearts of the people in the city float, and there is also a city defense camp in the city, although the defense is empty, but some people can't relax in defense, Shengjing City can't be defenseless, old lady, don't you say? ”

Lu Shanchang said: "General Li, don't worry, even if you go on the expedition, I can control the situation in Shengjing City, as long as General Li can complete the task assigned by the prince, it is nothing for us to be wronged, isn't it?" ”
