"In that case, why doesn't the lord take the opportunity to make a decision?" Zhao Rong had already heard Liu Cun's true meaning, but he was still worried that his lord would not be able to remove all threats.

Liu Cun gritted his teeth, pulled Zhao Rong over, and whispered in his ear.

I saw that Zhao Rong's solemn face gradually relaxed, and was quickly replaced by surprise, and at the end, he laughed, Huo Ran stood up, and sincerely bowed to Liu Cun and saluted: "The lord is wise!" In this way, the subordinates will be completely relieved, and presumably Mr. Gongsun can finally rest assured! ”

"This ...... Actually, I haven't told Mr. Gongsun what I think until now, alas...... I don't know if he will be sad and sad when he learns the news. Liu Cun couldn't help but sigh secretly after speaking.

Zhao Rong was not worried at all, and analyzed in a low voice: "My subordinates think that Mr. Gongsun actually knows it for a long time...... It is likely that he had already speculated about the actions that the lord would take and the consequences of the matter, but he did not say anything to the lord. ”

"Moreover, the fewer people who know about such a big thing, the better, and the smaller the waves...... If it weren't for the impatience of his subordinates today, forcing the lord to tell the truth, I'm afraid that he would never mention half a sentence after the incident. ”

Liu Cun was very relieved of his henchman Zhao Rong, smiled slightly, stood up and sent him out of the room: "It's late at night, I guess Mr. can rest assured, go back and rest...... There's a lot to do tomorrow, and if all goes well, good news will come in three days. ”

"If things don't go well, I'm afraid we will lead the whole army to attack Chang'an. Only by fighting with Li Dao and Guo Yan's generation can we do it. ”

"No, no! The lord's arrangement is very appropriate. We don't need to fight to the death with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others. It's better to hand them and the local forces of the entire Liangzhou to Cao Mengde to deal with. Zhao Rong, who was in a good mood, smiled comfortably.

Liu Cun also smiled when he heard this, thought for a while and suddenly asked, "I don't know how Yuan Benchu, who just defeated Yu Fuluo and entered Jinzhou, will react after hearing this news?" ”

Zhao Rong laughed: "The lost dog, how else can you react?" At this time, I am afraid that the more than 100,000 Montenegrin army led by Zhang Yan has already opened under his nose, in addition to seizing the time to flee for his life, Yuan Benchu, who is outnumbered, has no second way to go, and it is estimated that this escape will flee to Hetao. Ha ha! ”

Regarding Zhao Rong's analysis, Liu Cun greatly agreed, and couldn't help but nod and said: "Yuan Benchu can only survive by giving up Jinzhou and taking advantage of the convenience of the freezing of the big river to escape west...... It's just that fleeing in such cold weather will definitely cause huge losses of troops. ”

"Although Yuan Benchu received the support of more than a dozen wealthy families in Bingzhou, and his strength quickly increased to 30,000, he couldn't stop the more than 100,000 Montenegrin army led by Zhang Yan, if our speculation is good. The wealthy families of the state and the big landlords of the divided areas are in trouble this time. ”

"Zhang Yan's Montenegrin Army will not be as reasonable as ours, and while suppressing it, it also leaves a way out for the family lords and big landlords."

"Haha. Wouldn't it be better that way? In the future, the lord will also save a lot of things. Zhao Rong smiled and gave another salute, and went back to sleep happily.

The sudden intrusion of more than 20,000 Qingzhou elite cavalry led by Tai Shici, the first general under Liu Cun, instantly broke the civil war situation in Guanzhong that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others could not hold.

As the guard checkpoints were broken one after another, the Xiliang troops stationed along the east of Chang'an were destroyed by more than 20,000 Qingzhou cavalry like a storm.

After receiving an urgent report from the generals under his command who was speeding from Baqiao, he immediately sent his deputy general to Guo Yan's camp to sue for peace, and successively sent three cavalry teams of 50 people to Huaili, Xianyang and other places to mobilize men and horses to rescue Chang'an, and then quickly gathered the 50,000 soldiers arranged on the entire front, and after a night of rest and replenishment, they quickly rushed back to Chang'an City 30 miles behind him.

Just when Li Dao was hurriedly dispatching troops, more than 20,000 Qingzhou cavalry completed the rapid attack and comprehensive hunting of the Baqiao military camp, and then in the command of the battalion commanders, they collected their troops and returned to the camp, occupied the magpie's nest, and began the first rest in the operation for two consecutive days and one night.

The wind was cold.

Tai Shici and his lieutenant generals Xu Sheng, Yan Shen, Xu Huang and others walked in the large camp full of muddled and corpses, sturdy and warm high-waisted combat boots, trampling on the messy residual snow and the mud mixed with a lot of blood, there was not a trace of smile on the faces frozen by the wind and snow, and in the bloodshot eyes, there was no joy and pride in the joy and pride of the five thousand enemy troops that had just been annihilated, which looked particularly dignified and worried.

The generals walked half a circle, returned to the center of the barracks, sat down, took the hot soup from the guards, and drank it silently.

Tai Shi Ci looked around and saw everyone's worried looks, so he had to put down the steaming big wooden bowl and comforted him in a harmonious voice: "You don't need to worry too much, although this way has been blocked by four enemy troops, none of them can block an attack of our army." ”

"Moreover, starting from Huayin, our army can get strong support from hidden caravans everywhere it goes, and the secret envoys sent by General Lu Jiu and General Lu Pei have also successfully contacted our army, and it is estimated that at this moment, the tiger and leopard battalion and the elite caravan ambushed in Chang'an City have begun rescue operations with the assistance of the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK."

"Judging from the situation in all aspects, even if the enemy troops 30 miles southwest of Chang'an get the news, they will not be able to return to Chang'an City until the second half of the night or tomorrow dawn at the earliest, and the overall situation is still extremely favorable to our army, and basically there is no deviation from the plan painstakingly formulated by the Lord and the Military Service Department."

Although the generals nodded in agreement, the melancholy on their faces did not lessen much.

The thoughtful Yan Shen thought about it, and still truthfully expressed the worries in his heart: "It is estimated that most of us here are very satisfied with our army's rapid march and fighting for two days and one night, and after capturing the Baqiao camp in front of us, our army's task is successfully half completed." ”

"However, the most worrying and unpredictable thing is the rescue operation in Chang'an City, although it is difficult for Li Wei, who has been fighting with Guo Yan and others, to immediately gather his troops to help Chang'an, but his troops staying in Chang'an are more than 6,000 people, if the rescue operation in the city is leaked in advance, I am afraid it will be difficult to send the young emperor out of the city safe and sound!"
