Back in Yulin City, Lin Peiyuan reported the battle situation to Li Peifu, and Li Peifu also sighed a pity that Xiao Yu and Tian Yulong were not caught, but after all, the Song army was still severely damaged, and Li Peifu still rewarded Lin Peiyuan and others.

Lin Peiyuan asked, "General, should we wait for the war on the Chu side to end as originally planned before making the next step?" ”

Li Peifu replied: "This time it was Qin and Chu who jointly sent troops, and the Chu army of others kept fighting, and we hid in the city to watch, which is unreasonable." If your camp is not burned down, we can continue to wait, after all, it can be regarded as a soldier under the city. Now that the camp is gone, I can only send troops again, and tomorrow I will join you in Cangwu and re-establish the village forty miles away from Cangwu. ”

Lin Peiyuan persuaded: "Use a knife to kill chickens, general, you still sit in Yulin City, I just take the troops to go, Xiao Yu and Tian Yulong don't know the art of war at all." ”

Li Peifu shook his head and said, "This time we sent troops to Cangwu, and Your Majesty was just giving Chu a face. If the commander of Chu is Xiang Tong, our two countries will cooperate well, and maybe we can really take the opportunity to conquer Cangwu City. But now the coach of Chu is Gao Kegong, how could he be Deng Yuanjue's opponent, and you don't need to look at it to know that it was the defeat of the Chu army. That's why I sent you to camp outside Cangwu City to make a show, and when Gao Kegong is defeated, you will withdraw, so that Your Majesty will have an explanation for the Chu side. ”

Saying no, Li Peifu's expression changed and continued: "But I didn't expect that this time the Song Kingdom actually took the initiative to attack, and the leaders were Tian Yulong and Xiao Yu, who had never fought before. This made me change my original plan, maybe we don't have to worry about the Chu State, we can take Cangwu by marching alone, and if we are lucky, we may be able to capture Xiao Yu or Tian Yulong alive. ”

Lin Peiyuan had some doubts: "What the general said is right, but after this defeat, Tian Yulong may not dare to fight again, we only have 50,000 people now, and it is not so easy to fight Cangwu with this little force." ”

Li Peifu shook his head and said, "Of course I won't go directly to fight Cangwu, because Tian Yulong will definitely fight." Think about it, among the five great families of the Song Kingdom, the Deng family has controlled the army for many years, and every time there is a war, it is the people of the Deng family who lead the army, and most of the army in the country is in the hands of a family, can he feel at ease with the emperor of the Song Kingdom? If Xiao Daocheng doesn't take some measures, the army of the Song State will become the army of the Deng family. Tian Yulong, as a lieutenant, has long wanted to meddle in the affairs of the army, and Xiao Daocheng originally wanted to suppress the Deng family, so this time Tian Yulong was asked to lead a single unit out to try. ”

Lin Peiyuan understood a little: "Then according to this, Tian Yulong can only win and not lose when he comes out this time, then we can use his weakness to win to give him a trick and make him never recover." ”

Li Peifu said with a smile: "That's what it means, and this time he came with Tian Yulong is the second prince Xiao Yu, this is also a person who wants to fight for the throne, what does he rely on to fight for without any credit?" ”

Feng Fenglong, the deputy general standing on the side, reminded: "General, there are two people who followed Tian Yulong this time, one is Deng Yuanjue's righteous son Shi Luosheng, and the other is Deng Yuanjue's disciple Liu Zixuan, these two people have been under Deng Yuanjue's account back then, and it may not be easy to deal with them, this time Li Zhao and Guo Le were ambushed by these two people, and Guo Le was killed by Liu Zixuan because of this. ”

Lin Peiyuan also remembered that it was Shi Luosheng who rescued Tian Yulong and Xiao Yu in the end, and he also felt that these two could not be taken lightly.

Li Peifu thought for a while and said: "Your worries are not unreasonable, I have also heard of these two people, but after all, the main commander of the Song army this time is Tian Yulong, and the deputy general is Xiao Yu, these two boys are no longer capable, and it is superfluous for Tian Yulong not to use them." In addition, I also heard that Shi Luosheng and the two are the princes of the Song Kingdom, and there is a personal enmity between Tian Yulong and Shi Luosheng, and they must not get along well. ”

The next day, Li Peifu personally led his troops to Cangwu, re-camped forty miles away from the city, and sent someone to Tian Yulong two days later to send a war letter.

Tian Yulong was still indulging in the joy of defeating the Qin army, but he didn't expect to be happy for a few days and received Li Peifu's battle letter. He just wrote to Xiao Daocheng that he had beaten the Qin soldiers back to Yulin City, and now it was too late to catch back his twists and turns, so he had to write to Xiao Daocheng again and said that the Qin army was unwilling to fail, made a comeback, and once again came to Cangwu City.

Tian Yulong received the battle letter and discussed with Xiao Yu and Xu Wenzhe in the room how to deal with Li Peifu.

Tian Yulong said: "I originally thought that the war would be over after repelling Lin Peiyuan, after all, the main battlefield of the Chu-Qin coalition army this time was on the side of Chu State, and how could Gao Kegong be Deng Yuanjue's opponent, but I didn't expect Li Peifu to kill it himself this time." ”

Xiao Yu was also a little worried: "This Li Peifu is the number two person in the Qin military, we may not have beaten him, it is better to stick to the city, he only has 50,000 people, and it is not so easy to take Cangwu." ”

Tian Yulong said: "I don't want to stick to Cangwu, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty's side won't agree, blame me for not inviting merit, the twists and turns of the first two days made Your Majesty definitely feel that the Qin army is very easy to deal with, I'm afraid Your Majesty will order me to fight again." ”

Although Xu Wenzhe is a military general, he has never been on the battlefield like Xiao Yu, and the army is controlled by the Deng family, how could Deng Yuanjue use Tian Yulong's people.

Xu Wenzhe saw that the two of them had no idea, so he said: "Why don't you find Shi Luosheng and them, and see what strategies they have to break the enemy." ”

Tian Yulong is also not familiar with military affairs, so he can call the generals in the city together and ask everyone's opinions. Shi Luosheng was fooled once, and this time he also made up his mind not to say anything.

Tian Yulong saw that Shi Luosheng didn't speak, and he couldn't pull down his head to take the initiative to ask, so he asked Dai Tuodao: "General Dai, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Dai Tuo saw that the Taiwei ordered his general, so he had to reply: "The last general thinks that the enemy has the advantage of strength, and Li Peifu is also a famous general of the Qin State, so we should not fight, and it is the best policy to stick to the city." ”

Tian Yulong's face was expressionless, and he asked again, "Do the other generals have any different opinions?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals below understood that Tian Yulong wanted to fight, but he was not sure, so he wanted to borrow someone else's mouth to say it. And because of the incident of Shi Luosheng last time, no one dares to stand up and shoot this sycophant now, worried that if he says that he will fight, Tian Yulong will really send himself. Now that the number of troops is small, they are still facing a famous general like Li Peifu, and they don't want to find their own death.

Tian Yulong's eyes swept around, and when he saw that no one answered, he coughed dryly twice, and asked Shi Luosheng stubbornly: "Mrs. Shi, what is your opinion?" ”

Shi Luosheng secretly despised in his heart, but said: "The last general agrees with General Dai's suggestion, it is better to stick to the city." "Shi Luosheng won't be fooled again.

Tian Yulong saw that no one at the bottom followed his wishes, so he had to give up and said: "Then listen to General Dai, let's defend the city first." ”

Li Peifu sent Lin Peiyuan to the city several times to call for battle, but Dai Tuo also closed his door, and Lin Peiyuan did not attack the city, and went back every time he shouted a few words.

"General, they have been refusing to fight, it seems that we have to change tactics." Lin Peiyuan returned to the camp and said to Li Peifu.

Li Peifu nodded: "Peiyuan, you will lead 10,000 troops to fight Yuyang County tomorrow, Fenglong, you will lead 5,000 people to continue to fight under Cangwu City, if they don't come out, we will first defeat all the surrounding counties one by one." ”

"Lord Taiwei, it's not good, Chu General Lin Peiyuan just led an army to defeat Yuyang County, and now he is heading towards Cangyi County, if you don't send troops to rescue, Cangyi County may be difficult to hold."

Tian Yulong, who heard the news, couldn't sit still, and said to Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty just issued an order to reward us yesterday, asking us to send troops to repel the Qin army again as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Yu was also a little uneasy and said: "What if no one dares to fight now, or I will personally lead the troops to recover Yuyang?" ”

Tian Yulong didn't dare to let Xiao Yu go, in case of Li Peifu's ambush, if Xiao Yu had an accident, he would not have good fruit to eat. Tian Yulong shook his head and said, "No, Your Highness, you can't go, Feng Fenglong is still calling for war outside the city, we have to deal with him first." ”

Tian Yulong once again summoned the generals, this time he didn't ask again, and directly ordered Dai Tuo to go out of the city to meet Feng Fenglong outside the city, and Dai Tuo had no choice but to take the order.
