At Li Xianyi's suggestion, Lu Zhong first set up the camp, and then sent the elite out of the camp to challenge, first take a trip to the opponent's virtual reality, and then set a strategy, which is a steady way of playing. Lu Zhong disdained Li Xianyi's cautiousness, he had dealt with faceless people, and knew that this group of people was difficult, but he had never been afraid of them.

Lu Zhong ordered his guards to challenge the pro-army, and each side selected 100 people to fight freely in the specified area, which was called "opposite generals" in the border army, which was intended to test each other's reality. The result shocked Lu Zhong, his own guards were pro-army, elite in a hundred battles, sent a hundred troops, and only twenty horsemen returned.

The other party lost less than 20 people, and after the victory, he took advantage of the situation to rush over, and the hated Lu Zhong scolded the other party for breaking the rules.

Li Xianyi's department had already prepared, the shield soldiers were in front, followed by spearmen, crossbowmen were behind, and the light cavalry was on both sides to support and respond, which was the classic tactics of the Tang army against the enemy.

The army took advantage of the situation to set up camp, and the camp was formed, and the strength and weakness suddenly changed.

Lu Zhong regretted a little, he shouldn't have fought for his will, he lost three-quarters of the elite in the first battle, and at this rate, it wouldn't take long for his family to run out.

It would have been nice if Li Xianyi had been asked to take the lead.

There is no regret medicine in the world, he has suffered a loss, but Li Xianyi has an excuse, and this time he has a good reason to refuse.

What made Lu Zhong feel ashamed was that Li Xianyi was not as sophisticated as he thought, and after the setback of the Pizhou army, Liu Fengshan, the general of the Fengtian army, was ordered to challenge.

Liu Fengshan hated these "faceless ones", and he had already held back a wave of anger in his heart, seeing the defeat of the Pizhou army, he took the initiative to ask for battle, and Li Xianyi also wanted to kill the opponent's spirit, so he handed over all the elite guards to Liu Fengshan.

The Fengtian army was well prepared before the battle, and Liu Fengshan commanded the battlefield properly, fighting fiercely for a stick of incense and beheading the enemy's leader. But he was also hit by an arrow, and he barely managed to get back a game.

In the next two days, the Bizhou Army and the Fengtian Army attacked frequently, losing more and winning less, but the record was getting better and better, and although the "faceless" combat power was fierce, it was because it was lightly armed, the logistics supply was not smooth, and it was trapped by Li Xianyi's wheel warfare, and could not get a rest, and its combat effectiveness deteriorated.

On the third day of the lower camp, the main force of the Fengtian army crossed the border and killed, and a thousand elite horsemen rolled up the sand and dust in the sky. The "faceless" battlefield intelligence work was done very well, and when he heard that reinforcements were coming, he calmly retreated at night.

The Pizhou army and the Fengtian army were afraid of the ambush, and did not dare to pursue at night, and when Tianming checked their camps, they could not even find a thing to prove their identity.

Li Xianyi and Lu Zhong climbed to Gushan Fort, passed through the bloodstained stone gate, and were greeted by a fishy smell. People who have eaten raw meat for a few days have blue faces and green eyes, revealing a strange brilliance that is different from ordinary people.

Qin Mo led the two to a shed in the southwest corner of the earthen fort that was built with raw horse skins, and the horse skins were densely filled with arrows, as if they had a layer of feathers.

Li Mao sat on the mound, using a mound in front of him as a table, and was having lunch. The raw and cold horse meat was cut into pieces by him with a blade, Li Mao's knife skills were very good, and the length, width, thickness and thickness of each piece of meat were almost the same.

Lu Zhong looked at the white skeletal horse head on the earthen table, and felt only disgusted in his heart, eating raw horse meat for three days, such an experience he had never experienced before, and it was not a good pleasure to think about.

Li Xianyi was deeply shocked that Li Mao could eat raw horse meat out of this elegance, and thought about it, if he sat behind the earthen table, could he still be so calm?

No, absolutely not.

This is the gap between him and Li Mao.

"Luo Lingze has a great stake, I must take him back to Chang'an, and I will truthfully report the merits of the two generals to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Luo Ling must stay, and those who break into the camp and kill people must also stay."

Lu Zhong's attitude was very tough, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a thick and powerful hand on his shoulder, and a fine dagger in front of his throat.

Qin Mo sneered: "Believe it or not, I cut him." ”

Lu Zhong snorted, expressing disdain. Qin Mo's dagger drew a line of blood on his neck, and the skin of his throat was cut, but it didn't hurt the flesh, let alone leak air.

Lu Zhong's anger was vented, he didn't expect Qin Mo to really dare to cut, and he cut it so well.

Qin Mo laughed, pressed Lu Zhong's shoulders with both hands, and leaned into his ear to apologize to him: "Joke, just kidding, General Lu won't mind." ”

Lu Zhong nodded, his throat was bleeding, but it didn't hurt much, and he didn't know if it was broken.

Li Mao waved his hand to let Qin Mo retreat, threw Lu Zhong a medicine towel to cover the wound, still manipulating his knife, picking up the slices of raw meat and putting them in his mouth, chewing them with taste.

"I don't want to bargain with you, if you feel that you can't make an account of Li Yan, you can go back to Beijing with me, the Six Armies Shence, Nanya Weiyuan, whatever you choose. If you want to go to the feudal town, you can also do the history of assassination. ”

Li Mao's conditions were very tempting, Lu Zhong's Adam's apple squirmed carefully, it was a lie to say that he was not tempted, and the most important thing was that Li Mao could offer such conditions, indicating that Luo Lingze was indeed a person with great responsibility, if he didn't agree to him, he was afraid that he would be killed right now, if he really cut his throat with a knife, with Li Xianyi to protect him, his brother would not even have a chance to take revenge.

"I'll go to Chang'an with you."

Lu Zhong quickly made his choice.

When Li Yan led his troops to Pizhou, Lu Zhong had already gone to Chang'an with Li Mao. Li Yan was furious, and said to Sima Luhancheng: "If you leave the camp without an order, your crime should be punished, you immediately go to the court, please kill Lu Zhong." ”

Li Yan is the protégé of the fifth Shouliang, and he knows the tyranny and ruthlessness of the fifth Shouliang, if he doesn't find a substitute for the dead ghost to come out and jump into the fire pit for himself, the fifth Shouliang can skin himself alive and eat his own flesh raw.

Although Lu Zhong is not his cronies, the relationship has always been good, and the two are preparing to be sons and daughters, but now they can't manage so much, either he dies or dies by himself. If you want to blame it, blame the Tan Heba, who is not long-eyed, with Luo Lingze, he can't go, and runs to the camp in Pizhou, there are many people in the camp, how can there be a reason not to leak the news.

On the one hand, the marching Sima responded in vain, and on the other hand, he hurriedly sent someone to report to the fifth Shouliang.

When the fifth Shouliang received Lu Hancheng's report, Li Mao escorted Luo Lingze into Fengtian City.

Li Xianyi returned to the city one step ahead of him, when Li Mao entered the city, Li Xianyi led his troops out of the city to greet him, and the battle under Gushan Fort was only participated by Li Xianyi's henchmen and cronies, and the other generals in Fengtian did not know or knew about it.

The two conspired to stage this scene for these people.

Li Mao scolded in public: "General Li is so reckless, this person is bewitching the public and disturbing the court, your department has taken him down, why did you let him go, if it wasn't for General Lu Zhong to help, how could he go?" ”

Li Xianyi defended: "How dare a certain person indulge in the imperial court, he was robbed by a Tibetan spying, and our department is also chasing him." Lu Zhong said roundly: "What General Li said is extremely true, Chang Dachuan of the department once came to my Pizhou to track down the murderer. ”

Li Mao nodded and said, "Even so, you have also been derelict in your duties. Li Xianyi hurriedly apologized: "It was Li Xianyi's carelessness, if it weren't for the two generals, this time it would have caused a big disaster, and the two generals would never forget the kindness of Fengtian Town." ”

Those in the Fengtian army who did not know the truth were very dissatisfied with Li Mao's aggressive momentum, and felt puzzled and even resentful of Li Xianyi's forbearance and cowardice. understands the inner song, but it is like drinking elixir, Li Mao is helping Li Xianyi get rid of his crimes.
