Chapter 371: Three Ways Together

The other anti-kings were all watching the jokes, smiling and silent; Li Mi coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, why did you invite everyone here this time, I think you also understand." Brother Dou passed on the edict to the world and revealed the old bottom of the Great Demon Kingdom.

To be honest, I didn't believe it at first. But after this series of battles, we can't help but believe it; The Great Demon Kingdom is really superior in strength, and it is much better than us.

Now I still admire this Cheng Zhijie a little; This person is self-made, a big old man; In just a few years, he has created a huge family business; Don't you make me ashamed?

But having said that, it is not easy for any of us to lay down this country; No one wants to give it away. Therefore, at the initiative of Brother Dou Wang, we organized this demon suppression operation. A total of four armies attacked the Great Demon Kingdom together.

But everyone has seen the result, and the three of them have not brought any losses to the Great Demon Kingdom, and they have all been wiped out. Whether we can destroy the Great Demon Kingdom in the future depends on us.

We have the most personnel and the strongest strength along the way; I hope you can work together; Break through the Great Demon Kingdom in one fell swoop and eliminate this hidden danger. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and agreed with Li Mi's words. Li Mi saw that everyone had no opinions and continued: "My plan is that we divide our troops into three ways to jointly crusade against the Great Demon Kingdom. I led the 100,000 troops of Wagang to attack Caozhou directly for the middle road.

Li Jiancheng led Li Tang's 50,000 troops to the left and went straight out of Bianzhou to attack Jeju, Shandong; Li Zitong and Du Fuwei led the 60,000 horses of the headquarters to attack Daizhou in Shandong on the right side. Zhu Can led his army of 30,000 and was responsible for pressing grain and transporting grass to ensure logistics. What do you think? ”

Everyone listened with different expressions, and Li Jiancheng took a posture of bowing down to receive orders; Zhu Can is very excited to have the logistics money and food in his hands, and he doesn't have to come forward to fight. Only Li Zitong and Du Fuwei looked unhappy.

These two guys have a grudge; Li Zitong began to revolt in Shandong, following the left Xiangcai of Changbai Mountain; How do you know that Zuo Xiangcai is jealous of his talent and is excluded everywhere; Li Zitong had no choice but to go to Jianghuai and take refuge with Du Fuwei.

Unbeknownst to him, the two had a dispute over territory, and Li Zitong bribed the assassin to assassinate Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei was seriously injured and fell off his horse, and Wang Xiongdan fled to the reeds with Du Fuwei on his back to escape. After Du Fuwei went back, he reinvigorated his military prestige and drove Li Zitong out of Jianghuai and ran to Suzhou to settle down, which was the end.

Even so, the two fought against each other; This time, Li Mi asked them to form a coalition to attack the Great Demon Kingdom; The two of them are not thinking about how to win, but how to not fall for each other's tricks; I was wronged.

Li Mi didn't know about the contradiction between Li Zitong and Du Fuwei, but this was also deliberately done by him. In his opinion, his army of 100,000 and Li Tang's army of 50,000 are enough to deal with Cheng Zhijie.

After Du Fuwei arrived in Jiangdu after Yang Guang arrived, his power soon developed and became the third major force in addition to himself and Dou Jiande. Although he has always claimed to be the chief of Jianghuai, he has not yet become king; But how can anyone snore next to the couch? What's more, it's still a tiger.

This time, as long as they can contain some of the people of the Great Demon Kingdom; It's best that he and Li Zitong can get together, and let themselves be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The arrangements for the army have been decided, and Li Mi distributes grain and grass; Then the three-way army set off on a certain day and went straight to the Great Demon Kingdom to attack.

Cheng Zhijie, who was in Caozhou, soon got the enemy's plan to send troops, and he summoned Duan Zhixuan, Xiong Kuohai, Dongfang Yumei and others; He informed everyone about the enemy's troops, and then said to everyone: "Everyone! The enemy is coming with a large army on three fronts, and I plan to meet it in three ways. ”

Saying that, Lao Cheng stood up and came to the front of the sand table and said: "Everyone, please see, among the enemy's three-way army, Wagang is the strongest, followed by Li Tang; Then Du Fuwei and Li Zitong are the most second! My plan was that Dongfang Yumei and I would lead 10,000 horses to Jeju to resist Li Tang.

Xiong Kuohai led Qi Guoyuan, Li Ruqi, Xie Yingdeng, Ma Saifei and 15,000 men and horses to garrison Daizhou to defend against Du Fuwei and Li Zitong.

Duan Zhixuan was the main general, leading Liang Shitai, Wang Wendu, Bai Sumei, Wang Hu and the remaining 25,000 men and horses to defend against the Wagang army in the middle. What doubts do you have? ”

Duan Zhixuan was slightly stunned and said: "Demon King, Li Tang's army should not be underestimated, you only lead 10,000 people, it is inevitable that you will be alone, or you are leading some people!" Xiong Kuohai also nodded again and again: "What Zhi Xuan said is right, the demon king has the hope of a great demon country, please be careful." ”

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said: "Don't raise the enemy's ambition and destroy your own prestige. At the beginning, my army of 3,000 was able to crisscross the desert; Moreover, there are now 10,000 troops. Li Tang's army seems to be strong, but it is not; There are also many contradictions among them.

This time it was Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who led the team, and their control of the army was average; The generals are not familiar with each other; The combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

and Li Tang can be me, but Li Yuanba's Xuanjia Army; However, Li Yuanba and Li Shimin are close to each other, and they are not of the same mind as Jiancheng Yuanji; This gives me a lot of leeway; Be of good cheer. ”

The generals nodded when they heard this, agreeing with his statement. Cheng Zhijie looked around and said, "You don't have to worry too much; I have already issued a second-level combat readiness for this big war! After you arrive at the battlefield, you can recruit all the reserves and militia to participate in the battle, so that the enemy can have a good taste of the strength of our Shandong people! ”

Everyone was very excited when they heard this, the Great Demon Kingdom has very high requirements for joining the army, and some young people who meet the standards and even excellent have to be brushed down and trained in the family and farmers according to the reserve and militia. This made the generals of the Great Demon Kingdom red-eyed, and with this order, the strength of their army immediately doubled, and they really had the ability to fight the enemy.

After Cheng Zhijie finished explaining, he led the army to the battlefield on the right, and Xiong Kuohai also said goodbye to everyone and went to Daizhou to garrison; Duan Zhixuan arranged a defensive position on the spot and waited for Li Mi to arrive.

The fastest advance of the enemy's three-way army was Li Tang's way; Li Yuanji hated Cheng Zhijie so much that he wanted to stab him to death with one shot, so as to relieve his heartache.

Like Li Jiancheng, he applied for the task of pioneering, wanting to be the first to rush into Shandong and find Cheng Zhijie for revenge. Li Jiancheng knew that his brother was brave, but he was brutal by nature; If he really let him go alone, it will inevitably cause trouble for him to take over the territory of the Great Demon Kingdom.

However, Li Yuanji insisted on going, and there was no way; Li Jiancheng had no choice but to let Yuan Mujue assist Li Yuanji as the deputy vanguard; Then let them lead 10,000 horses into Jeju and attack the hinterland of the Great Demon Kingdom.

When Li Jiancheng was leaving, he told him to be generous to others, these places are his own, and the people are also his own; Treat them as if they were your own people.

Li Yuanji grinned and said, "Big brother, don't worry! What I hate is only the blue head; As long as these ordinary people don't provoke me, I won't embarrass them. ”

Only then did Li Jiancheng let go and let them lead 10,000 horses to be the pioneer. Li Yuanji got the general's order, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Yuan Mujue led an army of 10,000 to pounce on Shandong.

Li Yuanji led this 10,000-strong army all the way through Pengcheng and went straight to Shandong. Along the way, Li Yuanji went on a killing spree, and the good news passed back to Li Jiancheng's hands like snowflakes. He used the heads and blood of ordinary people to forge his own great achievements.

Yuan Mujue was frightened by the ferocity of this one, and hurriedly persuaded him; And use Li Jiancheng's order to dissuade. Li Yuanji snorted coldly and said, "The eldest brother told me to be kind to the people of Shandong. Is this Shandong? This is Pengcheng, Li Mi's sphere of influence. These Diao people are aimed at Li Mi, and I just did this to cause trouble for Li Mi. Well, for your sake, I'll spare them from dying! Tell the troops, urgent march; Go straight to Shandong. ”

Yuan Mujue saw that Li Yuanji had given him face and was no longer blindly killing, so he was very cooperative in urging the army to march quickly, wanting to enter Shandong as soon as possible.

How do you know that this person is cruel to others and as ruthless to himself. He took the lead and worked tirelessly with everyone, running more than 100 miles every day.

Such a high-intensity march made even Yuan Mujue feel tired, not to mention the soldiers under him. After a few days of marching, everyone complained and complained; Yuan Mujue once again suggested that Li Yuanji should be sympathetic to the soldiers; Otherwise, even if you go all the way to Shandong, you will have no combat power.

Li Yuanji snorted coldly and said: "The potential of people is unlimited, if you don't force these big-headed soldiers; will never know their bottom line. As the saying goes, soldiers are fast; This Cheng Zhijie is not a good stubble. I just want to suddenly appear in Shandong and catch him off guard. ”

Yuan Mujue thought about it for a while, and felt that what he said was also reasonable, plus the golden branches and jade leaves of others, they also followed everyone to share weal and woe; What reason do you have against it? So there was no further persuasion.

Li Yuanji said: "Let me tell you, the army is different from the mixed rivers and lakes, and Ci is not in charge of the army. If you let these big-headed soldiers think that you are a bully, they will definitely look down on you; Everywhere do not do what is ordered! If you want to do what you order, you can't be merciful! In this way, you send out the law enforcement team; Let them urge everyone to march, and some dare to complain and whip ten lashes; Those who disobey the order will be beheaded for public display. ”

Yuan Mujue gritted his teeth fiercely, bowed down and walked out of the big tent. After their rectification, the morale of the Tang army was really greatly boosted, and the march could increase by more than ten miles every day.

Li Yuanji laughed when he heard this: "That's right!" That's what it looks like! These cheap bones can't be let go. Yuan Mujue was also convinced, and nodded again and again.

In this way, it didn't take a few days to enter Liuxian; Liuxian is the fief of Liuhou Zhangliang, with rivers and lakes in the territory; The most famous is Weishan Lake.

When Li Yuanji led the army to Liuxian, Cheng Zhijie's army had just returned to Jeju, and he was really caught off guard.
