At the time of the battle between heaven and man on the question of whether to run or not to run in Chuzhou, in Dingyuan County, which was more than 100 miles away, Li Congke and Li Decheng's battle for several days finally had a tendency to distinguish the winner and loser. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After losing troops for three consecutive days, the Wu army, which suffered more than 3,000 casualties, did not become more and more courageous in the face of adversity and adversity as Li Decheng expected. At such a time, even Li Decheng, the commander of the three armies, will go into battle in person, and it will be useless, as a general who commands tens of thousands of troops, once the war comes to the point where he needs to go into battle in person to stabilize his position and save the declining situation, most of them have no need to go into battle in person, which means that the officers and men of the three armies are no longer able to fight, even if the commander can charge into battle for a while, it will not play a big role in the overall situation. So, retreating to Qingliu Pass is no longer the suggestion of several of Li Decheng's staff, but also has become the voice of the generals in the army, these days, every day defeat, although the big array has not been defeated, but the local defeat can not be contained, if it is not for Li Decheng is well versed in the way of the battle formation, I am afraid that the Wu army has already called the Tang army to disperse, whenever a general comes to ask for orders to retreat to Qingliu Pass, Li Decheng is furious, this kind of cowardice in his opinion should be pulled out to cut off the head, with the correct military law, but when there are more generals who ask for their lives, it is terrifying, Li Decheng also felt the chill in his heart, no matter how prestige he had, no matter how courageous, it was impossible not to ignore the army's morale, the consequence of doing so might not only be the defeat of the army, but also more likely to cause a mutiny among the soldiers, although Li Decheng was not worried about how the soldiers under his command would treat him, but there were only deserters on the battlefield, and the reason why the army collapsed for thousands of miles during the war, the root cause of the bane was often already buried, although Li Decheng did not know the saying that quantitative changes produce qualitative changes, but he knew similar truths very well.

Collecting troops at dusk, Li Decheng did not wait for the casualties to be counted, so he had to convene a military meeting, preparing to order the army to withdraw to Qingliu Pass, and the Tang army fought and did not win him, although it was difficult to get rid of it, but if he was defeated in the hands of the Tang army, I was afraid that he would not be able to explain to Emperor Wu and Xu Zhihe when he arrived in Jinling. On the military discussion, the generals were silent, they did not dare to speak, today's World War I several generals are facing a crisis, if it is not for Li Decheng's proper scheduling, I am afraid that they can no longer sit here safely at this time, it is good to feel ashamed in their hearts, every time a general asks to retreat to Qingliu Pass in the past few days, he has not been able to get a good face from Li Decheng, so today's generals do not dare to speak easily.

"At present, the war is unfavorable, there are many casualties, for the long-term plan, this commander intends to retreat to Qingliu Pass for a while, and then make other plans in the future, what do you think?" When Li Decheng said this in a hurry, all the generals in the account opened their eyes in disbelief and looked at Li Decheng in unison.

The change came too suddenly, or Li Decheng suddenly became too easy to speak, so that the generals couldn't react for a while and found it difficult to accept.

However, several of Li Decheng's aides spoke at this time, praising Li Decheng for his wisdom. It wasn't until Li Decheng nodded and accepted the remarks of the staff that the generals were sure that Li Decheng did not use this method to identify which of the generals had the intention of escaping, and then shot the first bird. Most of the quick-witted generals have already reacted, Li Decheng said that in the end, he has been fighting all his life, what kind of battlefield war he refuses to see, and now he is in a high position and enjoys the glory, not to mention whether Li Decheng has become timid and cautious, but he probably knows which direction the war will develop, and now although the Tang army has won successive battles and the Wu army has lost step by step, Shouchun has not lost it, and the situation has not yet reached the time when the fish has to die and the net is broken. Moreover, he fought hard with Li Congke for many days, and when a general said that he would withdraw from the army, he still fought hard to the death, and fought to the death with the Tang army, and tried his best. The generals who figured out these joints took the lead in expressing their support, and those guys who were still in the dark also knew what to do at this time, although a few fierce generals with developed limbs and simple minds still shouted that they wanted to fight the Tang Army endlessly, and they failed to control the overall situation. In this way, the matter of retreating to Qingliu Pass was decided in this way. Li Decheng did not delay, he has always been a resolute and resolute character, and immediately made arrangements, and the army quietly retreated to Qingliu Pass tonight, including how to dispose of the baggage, who will break the back, and other details were quickly determined.

In this compartment, Li Decheng hurriedly discussed retreating to Qingliu Pass, and in that compartment, Li Congke was furious in the military tent. Li Congjing's three-day period of breaking the enemy has passed, but the army still failed to defeat Li Decheng, which can't help but be angry, Li Congjing's strict management of the army, who knows the style of military law and not people, when Li Congjing pacified Jiangling, even his cronies such as gentlemen were the main generals, because he did not conquer a county as scheduled, he was immediately dismissed and made a groom, and he was not used for several years, that is still the situation in Jiangling has not been affected by this, Li Congke's heart is clear, he originally asked for orders to stop Li Decheng, He didn't plan to ask for 30,000 soldiers at all, as long as Li Congjing could give him 20,000 guards and pro-army, he would dare to come and compete with Li Decheng, but Li Congjing did not hesitate to suspend the offensive on Shouchun City, and also gave him 30,000 iron armor, which means that Li Congke knows that he was not able to defeat Li Decheng as scheduled this time, don't say that Li Congke himself has no face to meet people, I am afraid that it will not be good to occupy the pit and not in the future, although it will not be enough to resign from the official position of the commander of the guard pro-army Ma Bujun, But if Li Congjing arranges for other meritorious people to be the guards and pro-army to check and ride on his head, he will not have half of the place to be dissatisfied.

"These 30,000 Wu troops are skillful, the soldiers dare to fight, not mediocre people, the King of Qin wants me to wait for a few days to defeat the enemy, it is already a bit harsh, and now although I have not been able to defeat Li Decheng as promised, it has also made the Wu army lose a lot of soldiers, as long as the King of Qin has a few more days, why not drive Li Decheng out of Dingyuan County? Break the enemy in three days, not to mention the guards and pro-army, even if the army in front of the palace comes, what can it do? King Qin's request is too unreasonable...... "There are generals' uneven defenses, and when something is not done, some people always like to find objective reasons instead of reflecting on themselves."

"Shut up!" Li Congke scolded sharply, he has been fighting all his life, so he has a little dignity, in all fairness, Li Congjing has been benevolent to the fullest, and the refined guards and pro-army should defeat those Wu Guofan Zhen Army, otherwise what is the significance of Li Siyuan's refined guard pro-army, Li Congke, as Li Siyuan's adopted son, followed Li Siyuan to fight in the south and north, and was vigorously cultivated and trusted by Li Siyuan, and the current record is not sorry for Li Congjing, but even Li Siyuan has no face, where can he find other reasons, no face and no skin to this point, Really don't see yourself as a human being?

The staff suggested: "Although our army has not defeated Li Decheng for the time being, the three-day period has not passed, and there are still a few hours now?" As long as the hour has passed, or even as long as the day has not dawned, it cannot be said that our army has not fulfilled its military orders. ”

Of course, Li Congke understood the meaning of the staff, and he wanted to attack the Wu army's camp at night and fight with the Wu army for the last time, but this kind of thing had not been done in the past few days, and even the Wu army had done it, so the defense of both sides was extremely tight, and attacking the Wu army's camp at the moment would not have the effect of a sneak attack at all, and it was tantamount to attacking the frontal attack. But the frontal attack is to press the whole army, not to attack with an elite, otherwise it will not be able to win at all, but with all the strength to attack the Wu army camp to see, if Li Decheng's old fox has been prepared, do a good job of guarding the plant and waiting for the rabbit, the night battle is no better than the day battle, once there is a mistake, there may be an irreparable defeat, the three armies are not an elite raid, once the rout will be powerless, Li Congke and Li Decheng fought for a few days, where can Li Decheng and these Wu troops have no bottom, In my heart, I don't dare to despise each other.

"Let me think about it." Li Congke sat behind the case, his brows were tightly locked, and his heart was very entangled.

"General, messenger of King Qin!" Without waiting for Li Congke to make up his mind, his own soldiers entered the account to report.

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts that the King of Qin sent a messenger to do something at this time, didn't he ask about the results of the battle, and to fulfill the promise of breaking the enemy in those three days?

After the messenger entered the account, the faces of the generals were already not good-looking, and most of the generals were guilty, but there were also some people who felt that Li Congjing's "settlement after the autumn" was too anxious.

said that he was a messenger, but in fact he was dressed as a scout, and he was a servant, but he had Li Congjing's token, and Li Congke didn't dare to slack off, so he was busy asking the messenger what he meant.

"On the order of King Qin, I came to invite General Li to attack Li Decheng immediately!" As soon as the messenger's words came out, there was a tendency to explode in the tent immediately, but this messenger was not a general, and the words were clear, "A few days ago, the prince of Qin led three thousand elite horsemen, detoured to the west foot of Guanshan, and attacked Qingliu Pass with his back, and we were ordered to lurk outside Qingliu Pass, and the King of Qin had an order, if we heard the sound of battle in Qingliu Pass, it means that the gentleman has successfully raided Qingliu Pass, at this time, please General Li do not hesitate, immediately send troops to attack Li Decheng!" ”

There are not many scouts lurking outside Qingliu Pass, after all, it is in the rear of the enemy army, it is impossible to control the internal contact of the enemy army, Qingliu Pass is attacked, the guard will definitely immediately inform Li Decheng, if there are slightly more rangers sent, these scouts will not be able to intercept and kill, at this time, in order not to give Li Decheng the opportunity to retreat calmly from Dingyuan County when he heard the news, Li Congke was asked to immediately attack Li Decheng's department, the other party's backyard was on fire, and the front and back looked south, and it was easy to lose!

After the messenger said these words, not only Li Congke, but also all the generals in the tent were already red with excitement, how could they not understand at this time that the so-called military order requiring Li Congke to break the enemy in three days was just to let the guards fight to the death, drag all Li Decheng's troops, attract all his attention, and create conditions for the gentlemen to attack Qingliu Pass.

Li Congke in addition to excited, has a special feeling in his heart, a few days ago received Li Congjing's military order to break the enemy in three days, although there is no hesitation and complaints, but it is inevitable that he is uncomfortable with Li Congjing's tough style, after all, he is always Li Congjing's third brother, and now that he comes back to his senses, he knows that everything is in Li Congjing's plan, and the footsteps of the gentleman and the timing of the attack on Qingliu Pass coincide with the three-day period, that is to say, as long as Li Congjing successfully lays down Qingliu Pass, Li Congke can always get the news within three days, Go and divide the victory and defeat with Li Decheng.

At this time, since Li Congjing's messenger has arrived, this also means that the rangers sent by the Qingliu Pass guards to report the battle situation to Li Decheng should almost arrive, at this time Li Decheng suddenly got the news of the fire at Qingliu Pass, and it was when he was in a panic and had not come up with a countermeasure, Li Congke was already able to dispatch troops to attack, how could he not win?

Thinking of this, Li Congke no longer hesitated, and immediately issued a series of military orders, dispatching the guards to attack Li Decheng head-on.

The generals have no complaints at this time, some are just fighting spirit, after all, the credit is in front of them, and it is much easier to pick it up at this time.

After the generals were ordered to prepare, the tent was quiet, Li Congke's mind was stable, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude to Li Congjing in his heart. He originally thought that the guards and the army would not be able to complete the military order, and he would also live up to Li Siyuan's expectations, but he never thought that there was no way out of the mountains and rivers, and now that the battle situation is clear, he has no risk of being poked in the back, how can he not be grateful to the younger brother who personally led three thousand iron horsemen, ran hundreds of miles deep behind the enemy, and attacked Qingliuguan? Even if he knew that even if the gentleman could not win at this time, the Jiangbei Wu army would definitely not be able to stop the extremely brave three thousand horsemen, Li Congjing would retreat no matter what, and Li Congke couldn't help but admire Li Congjing greatly. Because of the relationship that the great work is about to be reached - although the big head is still Li Congjing, but he can drink a bowl of fat soup is already enough to be useful, Li Congke even feels that Li Congjing's face is also doubly cordial, those careful thoughts about Li Congjing in the past suddenly seem too dirty, he is very glad that when Luoyang was rectifying the rule of officials, he did not embarrass Li Congjing and did not run to get close to Li Congrong.

Thinking of this, Li Congke suddenly sneered, "Shi Jingjiao, Shi Jingjiao, you always think that my indecisiveness is not as good as your forge ahead, and you can't become a big thing in this life, but how have you ever known that in this life, just knowing that progress is not commendable, and knowing progress must also be able to know how to retreat, which is the real wisdom and courage." You were born in the remote place of Xiazhou and fought with the party members, I want to join forces with my brother to dominate the world, haha......"
