Seeing Yang Gon standing up and leaving, Li Tingru hurriedly stopped him and said, "General Yang, don't be so impulsive. 【Fengyun Reading Network. According to the lower officials, Emperor Shenwu also had a hard time doing this. Whether it's for the general or your country, there's no great malice in it. ”

"Oh? Master Li, what do you mean by that? Yang Gon humbly asked.

Seeing that he just stood up and just stretched out his hand, Yang Gon sat back by himself. Li Tingru couldn't help laughing, this Yang Gon is really not a good bird. What he did just now was ten out of ten trying to force himself to say what was going on.

Li Tingru said: "General Yang, look at the lower officials." Emperor Shenwu did this, not only did he not want to frame the general, but he wanted to rely on the general. The four countries have already gone to the two countries, if you are retreating, just relying on the little military strength in Hedong, it is okay to make a small fuss, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to drink the Yellow River. ”

"Hmph, Master Li, isn't this Liu Chong'er trying to use me?"

"At this point, Emperor Shenwu thought badly. He cared too much and did the wrong thing. If Liu Chong can be open and honest with the general, no matter how bad the situation is, the general army will not abandon it. Therefore, it is normal for the general to be angry. Li Tingru explained with a smile.

Yang Gon nodded and agreed: "That's it, this Liu Chongtai is not a thing, Master Li, you say, what should we do now?" ”

Seeing Yang Gon holding himself in his words, Li Tingru couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this Yang Gon is a smart man, without the order of the Khitan Emperor, until the situation is extremely sinister, he runs away without greeting, and when the time comes, even if Liu Chong's army is defeated and the Khitan Emperor pursues it, he Yang Gon will not be able to run. To put it bluntly, don't look at Yang Gon being noisy, Yang Gon will not run away unless it is absolutely necessary. Besides, the Khitan people have lingering palpitations about the Great Zhou, which is true, but as an old opponent, you say that the Khitan people are afraid of the pseudo-Zhou, which is very wrong. The Khitan people have not recovered their vitality and are unwilling to provoke the Great Zhou, but when they really go to the battlefield, the Khitan is not afraid of the Zhou soldiers.

Li Tingru was also annoyed, he said with a smile: "General Yang, then the lower official will first explain the current actions of the Zhou army to you." According to reliable sources, this time the pseudo-Zhou was Guo Rong's personal expedition, but he only brought 10,000 horses from Bianjing, and the rest of the troops mobilized 30,000 horses from the Daimyo's mansion, namely Yecheng, and 20,000 horses from Weizhou to Jixian, Xiangzhou to Anyang, and Xingzhou to Xingtai. A total of 100,000 troops will be completed in Jincheng today. ”

Yang Gon's face was changeable, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, worried or happy. He pondered for a long time before saying, "Liu Chong'er, it's so hard for me to deceive." ”

Li Tingru glanced at Yang Gon, he didn't believe this sentence at all, maybe the news of the defeat of the Chu army, Yang Gon was kept in the dark, but the Zhou soldiers were accumulated in Jincheng, Liu Chong would definitely tell Yang Gon, besides, Yang Gon's people who fought in the grass valley had already run out of Luzhou, maybe they could find out a little about the situation of the Zhou soldiers.

Yang Gon was separated for a while, and then said, "Master Li must have something to do here. Why don't you tell the Admiral? Now that the horses are about to go hand-to-hand, if there is a good suggestion, we can't delay any longer. Not to mention anything else, the names of these 30,000 soldiers, the brothers are still responsible. ”

Li Tingru smiled: "General Yang, do you think Emperor Shenwu has a certain victory?" ”

"The white-clothed army is very strong in combat and is not easy to fight, if it is the white-clothed army, I am afraid that Liu Chong has no hope of victory, but now it is mainly the Hebei army, although their combat effectiveness is not weak, but it should be on par with Hedong. Although Guo Rong is a soldier, Liu Chong is not in vain, if the two armies fight a decisive battle, in this plain, it will rely more on strength than on any trickery. The number of wins and losses is between five and five. Yang Gon said.

Li Tingru was stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Gon carefully, and saw that Yang Gon didn't seem to be a fake. The thoughts in his head were like lightning, and he was thinking of ways quickly. Different countries, the imperial court and the military have inconsistent views on the pseudo-Zhou, in the state of Chu, Ma Yun is cautious about the pseudo-Zhou, but the military bigwigs, such as Zhu Yuan and others, have a general view of the pseudo-Zhou. In the Khitan, although this group of people suffered losses in the past few years, they still think highly of themselves and still look down on the pseudo-Zhou. The Khitan people are the first in the world to be proficient in bows and horses, and Hedong, as the land of Longxing in the Later Tang, Later Jin and Later Han Dynasty, has strong folk customs and strong military combat effectiveness. Hedong and the Khitans united to fight against the Hebei army of the Puppet Zhou were really certain to be defeated? Li Tingru hesitated in his heart. What will happen if Hedong wins, Li Tingru's heart moved, now the Chu army has been defeated, because the Chu army has always taken the road of elite soldiers, so there are not many troops, and 10,000 people are already a quarter of the strength of the Chu army. If Hedong wins, and the Chu army does not have enough troops to grab the territory, wouldn't it be cheaper for Hedong in vain. Thinking of this, Li Tingru immediately paid attention to the fact that Hedong could not win.

Actually, Li Tingru is different. The reason why Ma Yun asked Li Tingru to persuade Liu Chong to withdraw from the army is based on the fact that Liu Chong cannot win, if Liu Chong really wins, Ma Yun can probably laugh in his dreams. Liu Chong wins, then Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin may be solved by Liu Chong, without these two people, there is no doubt that the chances of Chu to unify the world will increase many times.

Li Tingru sneered: "General Yang, in my humble opinion, Liu Chong will definitely be defeated!" ”

"Master Li, how do you judge this?" Yang Gon asked, he is not a fool, he has also observed the Hedong army for a long time, and he can be regarded as a strong general. That's why he was able to stay on the flank of the Han army so peacefully. If it was the Shu army, it is estimated that Yang Gon would have left a long time ago.

"Liu Chong had three defeats, first, the terrain of Hedong was narrow, and there was a lack of food, and Emperor Shenwu did not take grain from the enemy, and he did not have the strength to fight for a long time. If the Zhou soldiers can't hold out, the first one who doesn't go down will definitely be Hedong; Second, although Emperor Shenwu was born in the military, but he did not have any experience in big wars, under the command of Liu Zhiyuan, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, he was the most inconspicuous of the festival, but he was also a good joy, self-righteous person, Li Ling Zhi faint, he is now proud and complacent that the world is invincible, the Han soldiers have become arrogant soldiers, and the arrogant soldiers are bound to lose. Third, Luzhou is still in the hands of Zhou Bing, what if Emperor Shenwu's army goes to Jincheng and the Luzhou army comes out to make trouble? It's a belly-back enemy. Therefore, if the army once it goes south, there is only one way to fight a decisive battle, either win or lose. However, if the Zhou soldiers firmly held Jincheng and other places, and went south in front of the Han army, but did not fight a decisive battle with the Han army, then ...... The Han army is in danger. ”

If Li Tingru's "three defeats" were foolish, then the situation that Li Tingru described in the end deeply moved Yang Gon. The decisive battle is not that if you want to fight, others will fight with you. What's more, Pseudo Zhou has turned the corner, and he doesn't need a quick victory. As long as you hold on for a period of time, when the Han army retreats, you can break out the killers, which is enough to destroy the Han army.

Yang Gon asked, "Since Master Li said so, do you have any plan?" ”
