Bold, you have arrogated to be the king and established the system without authorization, which is already a great rebellion! Not only did he not repent, but now he dares to say such a thing of dominating the world, which is really ridiculous! "Huan Wen was so angry that he almost scolded!" Duke Huan is angry, and what this king said is true. Thinking about all these years, if it weren't for Duke Huan, the Jiangzuo Imperial Court would probably not be able to hold on for a long time, right? After all, it seems that the leaders of Chu Fu, Yin Hao, Xie Wan, Xun Xian and others, under the defeat after defeat, the Jin court may have long been lost! At least, in terms of protecting the family and the country, this king still respects Duke Huan very much! Li Xin didn't care, but said sincerely.

As soon as he said this, Huan Wen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he couldn't understand what Li Xin's intentions were for a while. Is it really praising yourself, or is there something else hidden in it?

However, being able to hear Li Xin say this, Huan Wen was still a little happy in his heart, as if it was an extremely glorious thing to be praised by Li Xin. Therefore, the anger couldn't help but subside a lot.

"Without further ado, my father has led the army here today, so you can make a choice! Is it war or peace? Huan Wen then asked, but his tone was much more relaxed.

"At this point, there is no way to avoid it. In this case, let's not fight a game, what does Huan Gong think? Li Xin said lightly.

"That's it, since this is your choice, my father will fulfill you! After the siege of Guancheng, if you are willing to surrender and submit, my father can spare your life! "Although I know that this possibility is relatively low, but the loser does not lose the battle, and the shouting must be exaggerated after all!

"Hehe, it's not easy to siege the city! Duke Huan also saw that this Kuiwen Pass was strong, if he wanted to capture this place, he was afraid that it would not be an easy thing! In this case, this king has another proposal, it is better for Huan Gong to lead the army to retreat, and this king will soon lead the army to battle. How about a head-to-head showdown between us? Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help laughing and proposed.

"Head-to-head?" Huan Wen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then became a little suspicious. Not only him, but also Xi Chao and other staff generals behind him, were also puzzled at this time.

Everyone knows that the battle to defend the city is much safer than the field battle outside the city, and the cost of the besieging side is much higher. If there was no way, Huan Wen would definitely not choose to attack Kuiwen Pass.

Giving up the advantage he already occupies, instead choosing a relatively disadvantageous situation, is absolutely incomprehensible to Huan Wen. He was not naïve enough to think that Li Xin was because of his past friendship, so at this time, he was like Duke Wen of Jin did to Chu State, and he retreated.

"What do you mean?" couldn't figure it out, so Huan Wen simply asked.

"This king is sincere in making this suggestion! First, it is because the king has confidence in his soldiers, although the number of troops is less than that of Duke Huan, but he is not afraid of any strong enemy. Second, if we have a quick victory on our side, the war in other places will basically end soon. Of course, if Duke Huan thinks it's better to siege the city, then the king has no opinion, and everything is decided by Duke Huan! This king just wants to have a dignified head-on battle with Duke Huan, and we should also have a superior between us! Knowing what he was thinking, Li Xin didn't hide it and said bluntly.

After hearing this explanation, Huan Wen was convinced. For example, in today's battle situation, anyone with vision can understand the key. Although there are beacons everywhere and wolf smoke everywhere, it is on his and Li Xin's side that really determines the overall situation of the war.

As long as there is a result on your side, the rest of the world will naturally be settled soon, so it is indeed the best choice compared to a protracted war.

But what made Huan Wen's heart even more inflamed was Li Xin's words that he wanted to compete with himself. Because he has always felt that Li Xin is inferior to himself in all aspects, he is just a civilian who has taken shit luck, how can he be compared with himself.

Now Li Xin has challenged himself in front of these nearly 100,000 people, if he should not fight, after spreading the word, he will inevitably be ridiculed by the world. For wealthy families, the issue of face is a matter of life and death, and it must not be ignored.

"Okay, my father promises you! Duke Huan retreated to the city of Lixian, waiting for you to die! Huan Wen thought for a while, and then said coldly.

"General, don't be fooled! The other party clearly has a conspiracy and tricks, if we really retreat, I'm afraid it's just the plan! The strategist behind him hurriedly persuaded.

"Don't worry, how can my father agree to him so easily! After ordering Deng Yao to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, the Tang army was killed on the way to prevent the withdrawal. Besides, the siege of the city is too difficult, and if we can really earn Li Xinjing out of the city, it will be a good thing for us! For this persuasion, Huan Wen said in a low voice.

Wang Xun and the others thought about it, it seemed that this was exactly the case, so they didn't say anything more, and in turn began to pay close attention to the movements of the Tang army in Guancheng.

It didn't take long for Huan Wen to lead the army to slowly retreat in the direction from which it came, and Deng Yao led an army of 5,000 to cover behind. But obviously, they were wrong this time, because Li Xin didn't make any movement at all about their retreat!

"Pass the order, in addition to leaving the soldiers and horses who originally guarded this place, the remaining 30,000 troops will go out with this king to fight a decisive battle with Huan Wen!" After the Jin army left a few miles away, Li Xin ordered.

Originally, there were 3,000 soldiers and horses guarding this place, but Li Xin led 30,000 troops here and took over the defense. At this time, he will use these 30,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with Huan Wen's 50,000 army.

In terms of numbers, in fact, the troops between the two sides are not very large, especially considering that Li Xin and Huan Wen have participated in larger wars in the past.

But the importance of the war is not determined only by the scale, just like the previous battle in the Central Plains, the decisive battle was the battle between Li Xin and Murong Ke, and the strength of the two sides was only more than 100,000 people, which was not much compared to other places.

With the issuance of the military order, the Tang army reorganized the battle, and when the news was received that Huan Wen had led the army to withdraw more than fifty miles away, Li Xin led the army to officially leave the customs. Slowly followed behind the Huan Wen army, fifty miles between the two, and slowly walked in the direction of Lixian.

And Huan Wen, who was retreating cautiously in front, gradually confirmed Li Xin's true thoughts after hearing the return. After understanding that he really wanted a real decisive battle, and not some conspiracy in the middle, he began to retreat with confidence.
