"Ma Xiangguo, he gave a series of very strange orders!" Song Han hesitated and continued: "First ordered all the battalions on the south bank of the Yellow River to withdraw to the north of the town, and then mobilized troops to dismantle the pontoon bridge, and also arranged the ten bomb throwers on the north bank, as if to be on guard against Li Jing in Fengzhou. ”

"And then?" Li Yuanji smiled slightly and asked unhurriedly.

"Then the instructor felt that Ma Zhou's series of actions was a little strange, so he sent people to the south bank of the Yellow River to investigate, and the result was ......"

"As a result, I found out that Li Jingbu had made a move and was planning to go north, right?" Li Yuanji interrupted Song Han's words and said directly.

Song Han was shocked in his heart, and nodded again and again: "Yes!" ”

The world says that the King of Qi knows everything, and now it seems that this is really the case, during the march, their people have been secretly following, and they have never seen the King of Qi have had contact with outsiders, in addition, they have been staring at it for a long time, and they have not found anything abnormal.

"Go back and tell the old gun, let him take someone to Fengzhou City to make some lively scenes, the more prosperous the better!" Li Yuanji smiled faintly and commanded.

"No!" Song Han answered, and quietly left with a heart full of shock and doubt.

"Your Highness, Ma Zhou, he ......" Ma Wu asked with some anger on his face.

Ma Zhou's series of actions have proven that he is a problematic person, and there are some things that he doesn't even know about himself, the personal guard of King Qi, how can Ma Zhou know? Moreover, as soon as the army set off here, Li Jing followed on his hind feet.

Li Jing has a dark line here, and he doesn't doubt this, but how did Ma Zhou know the situation?

"Don't worry, Ma Zhou won't rebel!" Li Yuanji said calmly.

"But he ......" Ma Wu was a little entangled, filtered in his heart and continued: "He may not rebel this time, but what about next time?" Even without the support of the imperial court, with His Royal Highness's respect for Ma Zhou, it is only a matter of time before he gets ahead in the Qi State, but the problem is that Ma Zhou's position as Xiangguo is directly appointed by the imperial court, which is in line with the rules, but it is not in line with common sense, I doubt there will be any problems in this? Your Highness, we still have to be careful, Ma Zhou knows too many things. I think we should still ......."

Ma Wu made a gesture to wipe his neck, in such an important position, there was such an extremely dangerous guy, and it was not good that the entire Qi Kingdom would collapse because of this.

"This king gave him a chance, and he seized it." Li Yuanji smiled slightly: "Just do our own thing, don't worry about the affairs of Zhenbei for the time being." ”

Ma Wu nodded a little incomprehensibly, rode on the horse with a depressed face, and followed the team slowly.

Looking up at the gloomy weather, I felt a little happy in my heart.

Regarding Ma Zhou, he didn't receive any information before, and Ma Zhou's behavior was normal, so people couldn't see that there was anything wrong.

And he guessed a little bit from Ma Zhou's sentence that he persuaded himself not to go north, but he was not sure.

So he left Ma Zhou with 2,000 troops and ten bomb trucks, and now the Yellow River has not been frozen, the pontoon bridge has been demolished, and ten bomb trucks are arranged on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Again, the defense of Zhenbei is by no means something that Li Jing can easily break, even if Ma Zhou has any thoughts, the troops he left behind, as well as the forces lurking in the city, will turn the situation around and hold on until his commander returns.

I made two roughly identical plans, no matter which one appears, Zhenbei will not lose it, and it is impossible to lose it.

As for Ma Zhou, although he didn't say it explicitly, he also vaguely reminded him to make a good choice.

Now it seems that Ma Zhou has made a choice, relocating the camp and demolishing the pontoon bridge, the purpose is to repel the enemy on the south bank of the Yellow River.

……

In Fengzhou, 7,000 soldiers are ready to go, and 4,000 soldiers are being assembled, which is the maximum army that Li Jing can mobilize at present.

Looking at the soldiers shivering in the cold wind, Li Jing was a little unbearable.

The soldiers do not have enough warm clothing, since ancient times winter is not to fight, this seems to have become an unwritten rule, whether it is the Central Plains Dynasty, or the nomads outside the Saiwai, the war will generally only be carried out in the period from spring to autumn, and in winter will generally choose to withdraw the army, or a confrontation, and there is rarely a fight.

But since the beginning of the year, Li Yuanji took advantage of the winter to ruthlessly pit the Turks, and Li Shimin seems to have fallen in love with the hobby of sending troops in winter.

But......

Li Jing's heart was full of worries.

"Why is the pharmacist so dull?" Du Ruhui, who was wrapped like a mummy, looked at the soldiers below and was worried, but he was not as sad as Li Jing.

"The old man is wondering, how many of them will come back alive!" Li Jing pointed to the soldiers below.

"Cowardice before you fight! This is not your pharmacist's style! Du Ruhui was slightly stunned, and continued: "We are bitter, but the other side is even more bitter, Your Majesty never fights unprepared battles, do you know the current situation on the other side?" ”

Facing Du Ruhui's questioning, Li Jing shook his head, of course he knew the situation on the surface, but what he could see, he didn't believe it at all, Li Yuanji's cunning level would never be able to put his true strength on the table for you to see.

It is difficult for ordinary people to make up two people's winter clothes for a single family, and his plan for the people is to fill the loopholes in the house, and then light a fire in the house to keep warm. The people are so poor, how good can it be if Rao is the army? Speaking of this, a trace of contempt gradually appeared in Du Ruhui's eyes: "What can you do if you build a town north as solid as a stone, and the copper wall is ironclad?" A hundred new grenades are thrown on, can he still resist? ”

Du Ruhui felt that he should have insisted on the opinion in his heart and completely beat King Qi to death.

Unexpectedly, because of his half-step concession, the eldest grandson Wuji was rebelled, and then Li Yuanji was given the opportunity to go north and seal the country.

But no matter what happened before, this time, he will never give him any more chances.

Because now, Li Yuanji, who only has one Zhenbei City, has made everyone feel frightened, and Li Yuanji, who has a feudal country, has completely changed his face, and the previous Li Yuanji, who was forbearant and indisputable, has completely disappeared.

No matter what you thought and did before, now, Datang will not give you any chance.

Li Jing shook his head secretly, there were some things that he couldn't say, so he could only think about it in his heart.

This time they went north, they had a strong premonition, not only could they not succeed, but they might lose their troops, and the King of Qi was far from being as simple as they imagined.

Li Jing himself has a negative attitude towards this war, he has never been in favor of fighting this battle, there are too many reasons, this is not a righteous war, it is completely a war of revenge launched by the imperial court against the inside.

And the ministers in the court also have their own opinions, Wei Zheng bluntly said that he would never support it, and now he is chasing Li Er every day to ask him to withdraw the order, Fang Xuanling, Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie remained silent and did not express any opinion on this matter.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are rejecting this war, but the outcome does not matter.

The Lizhan faction led by Du Ruhui had the absolute upper hand, so this battle was finally going to be fought.

"After this battle, the north of the Tang Dynasty will be completely peaceful, Turkic? Yi Nan? Hehe! They will all be trampled under the feet of the iron horses of the Tang Dynasty. Du Ruhui seemed to be showing off, as if telling Li Jing how determined the court was this time.

Li Jing was taken aback, looked up at Du Ruhui suddenly, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, is this going to wipe out the entire northern forces in one fell swoop?" ”

"Not bad! The problems in the north have plagued Datang for so many years, and it's time to settle accounts with them! Du Ruhui said calmly, as if all this was as it should be.

"Crazy, you're crazy!" Li Jingxian was a little flustered, and wiped out all the forces in the north in one fell swoop, how is this possible?

"Crazy? Hehe! Du Ruhui smiled and continued: "Your Majesty's order to be the head of the Dingxiangdao march is not for nothing, you are the commander of this battle, Zhang Gongjin is the deputy, Li Daozong is responsible for attacking from the west, Hou Junji will soon personally lead 100,000 troops to the north, at that time you will have 200,000 troops in your hands, and with the assistance of such a magic weapon, are you crazy or not?" ”

"But that thing King Qi also has in his hands!" Li Jing pointed at the Qi State on the opposite side and roared angrily, these guys, who had been blinded by force, began to show their true madness.

The gunpowder has brought them too many shocks, and it has also made their hearts extremely inflated, and it has only been a few months, and it has reached such a point of being out of control?

Li Jing was faintly a little cold, a little confused, and a little at a loss.

"I not only know that he has it in his hands, but also know that he brought 50,000 grenades to the north, and I also know that he left 10,000 in Zhenbei, not only do I know this, I also know that the real defenders in Zhenbei are only 2,000 people, and there are 4,000 soldiers who are not in the army, and there are alternative guards who are not in service, I can also tell you that Zhenbei can be taken without us attacking, I not only know these, I also know ......"

A horse from the north rushed towards Fengzhou, but was stopped by the soldiers on the periphery, and after inspection, it was quickly released.

Riding on the horse was a man dressed as an ordinary person, and after entering Toyoshu, he climbed directly onto the city wall.

"Zhenbei Express!" The messenger was shivering from the cold, but he still insisted on completing the task, and saw that the letter was obtained by Du Ruhui, so he couldn't hold on and fell down.

Du Ruhui hurriedly sent someone to help him down to rest, on such a cold day, galloping hundreds of miles, no matter how good the physique is, he may not be able to resist.

It's just that the moment Du Ruhui opened the letter, his face was instantly full of anger: "Bastard, the old man is going to kill you......"
