"Oh? Why did he suddenly agree to send troops? Wanyan Agu asked strangely.

Li Guoqiu said: "Didn't the big leader get the news?" The Luoyan army supported Guo Kun as the emperor. Yesterday's incident, the big leader should have gotten the news. ”

Wanyan Agu suddenly realized, laughed and said, "You mean, Bianliang also got the news." After Lu Zhongtian learned the news, he agreed to send troops? ”

Li Guoqiu nodded and said, "Exactly." Guo Kun's ascension to the throne was not good news for him Lu Zhongtian. Although Guo Kun is a person who betrayed the Great Zhou, his identity is always the royal family of the Great Zhou in any case, which is much more correct than his identity of Lu Zhongtian. Lu Zhongtian took advantage of the troubled waters to fish and said that Guo Xuchan's trick of giving up the throne was not difficult to see through in the eyes of outsiders, but he just regarded the people of the world as blind. Guo Kun is also a descendant of the Guo family in any case, and he is orthodox in the Great Zhou. Guo Kun ascended the throne, and he Lu Zhongtian was a traitor. I don't know who is plastered with notices in Bianliang City, all of which are Guo Kun's edicts on his ascension to the throne supported by Lin Jue and other generals of the Luoyan Army, saying that Lu Zhongtian is a 'thief who steals the country' and 'an unfaithful, unjust, unkind and unrighteous person', and declares that he wants the old thief to be broken into thousands of pieces, and he wants the military and people of Bianliang to recognize Lu Zhongtian's face and return to orthodoxy as soon as possible, and he will not blame Yunyun for the past. As soon as such a notice is posted, think about it, Bianliang City has become a pot of porridge, can Lu Zhongtian still sit still? He must destroy the Luoyan Army and kill Guo Kun in order to stabilize the situation and achieve his goal. Therefore, joining forces with us is his only option. Can he not accede to our request? ”

"Hahaha, exactly. The old thing wants to shrink its head now, but it can't shrink back. He wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but he is afraid that he will go crazy. But why didn't you come back until now? It's time to come back early in the morning to report. But I'm in a hurry. I thought something had changed. "Wanyan Agu Avenue.

Li Guoqiu said with a smile: "Big Leader Hugh, I came back after discussing the details of the troops with Lu Zhongtian, since I want to jointly send troops, how can I not discuss specific matters." Besides, Lu Zhongtian actually wanted to keep some back, he only told me that he could only mobilize 50,000 cavalry to fight. How can he still preserve his strength at this time? I told him he had to give it his all. He has 70,000 cavalry and more than 60,000 infantry, and I want him to send all the cavalry, and the infantry will also send 50,000, so I can only leave 10,000 in Bianliang. This time, I didn't ask him to take out all the old things, and be polite to him? ”

Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "Is he willing to do this?" Indeed, he will not agree. ”

Li Guoqiu laughed and said: "I can't help him, he has to agree." I told him that if he didn't do his best, our Jurchen army would immediately withdraw. Anyway, we don't know where we're going from. The Falling Wild Goose Army will never entangle us, and if we retreat to the north, the Falling Wild Goose Army will never attack us. Their target must first be Bianliang, who is Lu Zhongtian. They refused to exert their all, so we left him alone to face the attack of the Falling Goose Army. Whether he can resist the firearms of the Luoyan Army, and whether the people of the Great Zhou are willing to follow him Lu Zhongtian to fight Guo Kun, he has to weigh all of these. Lu Zhongtian is scheming, and he naturally understands that as soon as we leave, he will be finished. The people of Bianliang City are afraid that they will rebel. If he can't recognize these things, what else does he want to do? As soon as I forced him like this, he had no choice but to agree. ”

Wanyan Agu laughed loudly, patted Li Guoqiu's shoulder, and praised: "It's still the military advisor who understands it, and this time he can't do it without all his strength." Hahaha. Li Guoqiu nodded and smiled: "Then Lin Jue is too anxious to support Guo Kun to ascend the throne at this time. It seems that he wanted to take advantage of this small victory against our army to take advantage of the opportunity to make the local government of the Great Zhou Dynasty loyal to Guo Kun's new court. I have to say that his abacus is very good, now that the Great Zhou Qunlong has no owner, and the Lufu prefectures and counties in the south are in chaos, if Lin Jue really unifies the hearts of the people, the Luoyan Army will receive great supply and support of logistics manpower, and then it will be greatly strengthened and in great trouble. Therefore, we have to annihilate the Falling Goose Army as soon as possible, and we can't delay any longer. However, Lin Jue's move also forced Lu Zhongtian to really join forces with us, which he probably didn't expect. Great Chief, we must take advantage of this opportunity to annihilate it in one fell swoop. After the annihilation of the roadblock of the Luoyan Army, our Jurchen army can really make great achievements. ”

Wanyan Agu nodded and groaned: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, but I don't know when Lu Zhongtian will send troops?" ”

Li Guoqiu said: "They will mobilize a large army to go out early tomorrow morning, and Lu Zhongtian said that he will personally lead the army." We also have to be prepared, tomorrow our Jurchen army will also march into the ten-mile long post, and be ready for battle. ”

……

At midnight the next day, Lü Zhongtian led an army of 70,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry of the original Great Zhou Forbidden Army, a total of 120,000 people, from Bianliang and advanced into the southwest mountains of Chenliu County. Wanyan Aguda personally rode his horse and met with Lu Zhongtian. There was hardly much bickering between the two sides, and the details of the attack were quickly determined. In fact, both sides understand that the common enemy at the moment is the Luoyan Army, and they must go all out to annihilate the Luoyan Army, and then there is the possibility of carving up the Great Zhou Dynasty. This army has become a major problem for the two armies.

Wanyan Aguda didn't hide it, he thought that Lu Zhongtian had reported the reason for the defeat in the battle a few days ago, and informed Lu Zhongtian of the strength of the firearms. When Lin Jue and Guo Bing's father and son defected from the capital, Lu Zhongtian had personally seen the scene of the other party using firearms and crossbows to kill nearly 2,000 cavalry of the forbidden army, and he also knew the fact that on the way to chase Lin Jue, he was blocked by the firearms in Lin Jue's hands several times. However, it was the first time I had heard of the new firearms that had been thrown and exploded by the Luoyan Army, and I couldn't help but have some hidden worries. But by this time, nothing could be cared about.

The two sides have clearly defined the means of warfare and the scope of their respective responsibilities. The ten-mile long post where the Luoyan army is located is only ten miles wide. The two armies were each responsible for the offensive of five miles from north to south, and adopted the order of unified attack and retreat, advancing and retreating together, and at the same time causing great pressure on the other side. Once attacked, they will break down the opponent's defense line with thunder and annihilate the enemy army at any cost.

It was an extremely efficient meeting, and the two sides negotiated for less than an hour before finalizing the details. After that, Wanyan Aguda returned to the Jurchen camp and gave the order to march into the army. The more than 200,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses, who had already prepared for the attack, immediately set out, and together with Lu Zhongtian's 120,000 horse infantry, they rushed straight to the Luoyan army camp at a ten-mile long post dozens of miles away.

……

In the camp of the Luoyan Army, the scouts had already reported the military intelligence. The actions of the Jurchens and Lu Zhongtian's soldiers and horses had already been reported to Lin Jue and others before noon. Guo Kunshang was immersed in the excitement of ascending the throne as the emperor, and was poured a scoop of cold water on his head by this urgent military situation and returned to the prototype. He also finally realized that the matter of ascending the throne could not change the dangerous situation in front of him, Lu Zhongtian and Wanyan Aguda really joined forces to attack, with more than 300,000 troops, and the situation was even more severe than the last war. Guo Kun was at a loss and his heart was numb.

Compared with Guo Kun's panic, Lin Jue was calm, Lin Jue had such psychological preparation before, he had already said that the consequences of failing to hit the Jurchens hard in the last war would cause their joint counterattack, and now everything has come true, but it is also expected by Lin Jue. It's just that Lin Jue was surprised that they came so quickly, and in just a few days, they had already jointly dispatched troops. It seems that they really want to annihilate the Falling Goose Army here urgently.

Lin felt the news and immediately called a pre-war meeting. At the meeting, Guo Kun put forward the idea of immediately withdrawing troops to the west to avoid its edge. He was worried that if he didn't leave at this moment, as soon as the opponent's soldiers and horses arrived, the more than 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Luoyan Army would not be able to leave. Guo Kun feared that the army would be wiped out. Guo Kun's proposal has also been supported by many people, after all, the last war was actually a fluke and barely won, this time the difference in strength between the two sides is even greater, if it is a hard fight, it is likely to be destroyed here. The new emperor has just ascended the throne, after all, he must consider the safety of the emperor, and he can't do it hard.

Lin Jue didn't express any opinion at first. Seeing that the two parties were arguing, they blushed and had a thick neck, and finally coughed heavily. Everyone immediately shut up and turned their eyes to Lin Jue, and in the end, Lin felt that opinion was the final decision.

"In this way, Shen Tan, you lead five thousand cavalry to escort the emperor to go first. Ben Shuai led the rest of the soldiers and horses to stay here and fight the enemy to the death, what do you think? If I can withstand their attack, then if we are defeated here, Shen Tan, you will protect the emperor to go to the south and go to Hangzhou. Most of the southern state capitals should recognize the emperor's identity and make a difference. Lin Jue said slowly.

The generals were in an uproar, and Guo Kun and Shen Tan were stunned.

"Lin Jue, why are you doing this? Knowing that the other party is coming violently, why do you have to fight hard? It's wisest to avoid it, you've always been very strategic, so why bother fighting to the death this time? If you are defeated, what hope do I have? Isn't it the collapse of the overall situation, and it will be difficult to return to the sky? Guo Kun rubbed his hands and said.

"Yes, handsome. We can completely avoid it. Don't fight them. As the saying goes, take a step back and open the sky, ......," Shen Tan also echoed. But he was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Lin Jue.

"Retreat? Where to retreat? Do we have a way out? Outrageous! At the moment of the great enemy, this commander is to convene you to discuss the strategy of meeting the enemy, what are you talking to me about withdrawing troops and fleeing? Shen Tan, you disappointed me so much. You are a high-ranking general in the army, and you actually said such a thing. Where to retreat? Retreat to the west? Is Ying Tianfu ours? Where is the place to be in the west? Also, half of my 80,000 Luoyan army are infantry, and the other side has more than 100,000 cavalry soldiers and horses, and our cavalry may be able to evacuate safely, so what about the 40,000 infantry brothers? What do they do? What about our large quantities of baggage? Throw it all to the enemy? Before you fight, do you think about taking your comrades and brothers on your back? Is that what my military regulations for the Wild Goose Army are written? Don't abandon the principle of not giving up, you should be the wind in your ears? When did I do such a thing? Is that still the Falling Goose Army? ”

Lin Jue scolded sharply, everyone was stunned, in their impression, Lin Jue had never been so emotionally intense. What's more, it is for Shen Tan, Lin Jue is polite and respectful to Shen Tan on weekdays. It seems to be really angry today.
