Li Cunzhang's approach was right, although his 2,000 cavalry was not much, but Wang Yanzhang could not deal with Li Siyuan with all his strength, and he had to send troops to block and deal with it, not to mention, and put his mind on Li Cunzhang.

It didn't take long for Li Cunmiao, who was leading the troops alone for the first time, to come. He brought not many soldiers and horses, only 3,000 men, but these 3,000 men were the crow army. Coupled with Li Cunzhang's soldiers and horses, although they can't eat Wang Yanzhang's 10,000 flying cavalry, they are enough to entangle the flying cavalry and wait for the follow-up troops to come. At that time, Wang Yanzhang wanted to leave easily, but I am afraid it was not so easy.

"You're in luck!" Wang Yanzhang looked at Li Siyuan who was surrounded by regiments unwillingly, and now Li Siyuan has less than a thousand soldiers and horses under his command. Wang Yanzhang dared to swear that if it was a quarter of an hour late, he would not dare to say that he would be completely annihilated, but it was still possible to kill Li Siyuan. One Li Siyuan is comparable to three thousand crow troops. But now it is obvious that the best time has been missed, and there is no time for Wang Yanzhang to take it calmly.

"Retreat!" Wang Yanzhang ordered very unwillingly. But if you are not reconciled, you still have to retreat.

Li Cunzhang did not rush to pursue, he saw the strong combat effectiveness of the other party, and if he continued to entangle, I am afraid that it would only lead to a defeat for both sides. What's more, Li Cunqiao is a little far away from here, and he doesn't dare to take risks. After all, he is at a disadvantage in terms of both strength and combat effectiveness.

In this raid battle, the two sides won and lost each other, and Li Keyong cracked Li Si'an's fast attack and killed more than 3,000 Xuanwu troops. Wang Yanzhang beheaded more than 700 levels, all of which belonged to the Raven Army, which was a small victory.

With such a record, it is difficult to say who has the upper hand on both sides, the Ya'er Army is the elite unit of the Hedong Army, and in terms of the proportion of casualties, Li Ke has lost money. But Rick won head-on, and morale was even higher. More importantly, it disrupted Li Si'an's rhythm, and Li Keyong could arrange the army more calmly.

No matter who suffered, but no one could stop this decisive battle, and Li Keyong had already led a large army to press it. And Li Si'an also finished reorganizing the army in the rear, and the arrows on both sides had already been shot, and there was no room to turn back.

…… Texas ...... "Your Highness, Zhaozhou emergency military situation!" A soldier of the brocade guard hurried in.

"What happened?" Li Cunhuan couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this, Zhaozhou was Li Keyong's location, and the emergency military information sent from there was not an ordinary military situation.

Li Keyong, the king of Jin, led an army of more than 80,000 troops to fight with Li Si'an in Baixiang, Li Si'an lost three or four times, and lost his troops. Now defeated by Li Keyong, the king of Jin, Li Si'an led the army to retreat in the direction of Xingzhou! The Jinyi guard soldier reported respectfully.

"Someone! Get on the map! Li Cunhuan commanded.

Park Lejiao and the others immediately took out a map and laid it on a large wooden table, and Li Cunhuan's fingers quickly slid on the map, and finally settled on Longgang City, the Xingzhou Governance Office. Looking at Longgang, I don't know why a bad premonition appeared in Li Cunhuan's heart, and after a moment of silence, Li Cunhuan raised his head and asked the Jinyi guard, "How about the casualties on both sides?" ”

"Not yet!" The Jinyi guard soldier was slightly stunned, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

"Find out quickly!" Li Cunhuan said with a solemn face, and when the Jinyi Guard soldiers were about to walk out of the big tent, he added something that made people's hearts heavy. "Whatever it takes!"

"Yes!" Although the Jinyi Guard soldiers didn't know what Li Cunhuan had seen, he also seemed to understand that there should be some big conspiracy in this war. I don't know if it was Xuanwu who used it or Li Ke who used it there.

"Your Highness, what's going on!" Park Leju, who was beside Lee Cun-hwan, couldn't help but ask.

Li Cunhuan shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know!" Don't ask. ”

"Shoot with joy! You quickly go and pass on my password to Feng Dao, and give orders to Fu Cunxian and Li Cunxiao! Let them speed up the march. Li Cunhuan said urgently. Originally, Pu Le's face was still a little cynical, but now when he heard this, his face changed greatly, and he also understood, I am afraid that there is a crisis that Li Cunhuan can only touch a few points, and this crisis is very big, otherwise Li Cunhuan would not have the above words.

"At the same time, let Park Jinghui, Han Yanhui, and Yang Shihou come over!" Li Cunhuan commanded with a cold face.

"Yes!" Park Leshu replied solemnly.

When Yang Shihou, Park Jinghui, and Han Yanhui arrived, the Chinese army's big tent had been replaced with a sand table, although many details of the sand table were relatively distorted, but Li Cunhuan still chose this kind of sand table that was more convenient to watch the enemy's arrangement. The sand table is densely covered with two kinds of small flags, red and blue.

"The last general (Xia Guan) has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" Yang Shihou saluted three people.

"Get up, Shihou! Look here. Li Cunhuan pulled Yang Shihou over, and pointed to the river with light blue powder with a nervous expression. Here is Xishui, here is the Shahe, they are both tributaries of Zhangshui, flowing to Zhangshui. Coupled with the Zhangshui River Basin, you don't look like a big circle surrounding the Longgang area in Xingzhou. Speaking of this, Li Cunhuan paused, and his fingers slowly slid to the source of the Shahe River, "This is Taihang Mountain, and the army can't cross it at all." Coupled with these rivers, the whole Longgang area doesn't look like a natural prison cell! ”

Yang Shihou's face showed a solemnity, and after thinking for a moment, Yang Shihou shook his head with a touch of relaxation and said: "The one-eyed dragon is not a fool, he should see that the terrain here is unique, but this is also a good place for him to hunt turtles in his urn." I don't think he won't even be able to see it here, he's sure he's going to split his army. Julu is located in the southeast of the mainland, just out of the natural encirclement formed by the Zhangshui Basin and the Taihang Mountain. Not only can it block the enemy who tries to move back, but it can also use it as a corner with Li Ke, consolidating Li Ke's defense. And if Zhu Wen wants to bag Li Ke, he has to pass through Julu. Otherwise, if you go to other places, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch up in time, and when you get to the rear of Li Keyong, Li Si'an will have already been eaten by Li Keyong until there are no bones left. ”

"I hope the one-eyed dragon won't be too crazy this time!" Li Cunhuan said worriedly. The one-eyed dragon collapsed, and he Li Cunhuan did no good. Especially now that Li Cunhuan is very short of time, it is good that the Andong Army and the Xiongjin Mansion soldiers are coming, but they are 600 miles away from Texas. At the speed of fifty miles a day, it would take six days.

In fact, this is only theoretical, you have to pass through several big rivers along the way, these big rivers are not the same as land, and there is no problem for you to go all over the land with tens of thousands of troops. On the water, you have to take a boat or build a pontoon. If it is a few thousand soldiers and horses, it is not too much of a problem, but the Andong Army and the Xiongjin Prefecture soldiers combined have a total of 50,000 troops. Often, it takes half a day for a large river to cross the army to the other side. As a result, it took 10 days to reach Texas.

Ten days may seem like a short time, but it is a very short time for an army of high-speed movements. A cavalry, if necessary, could run over the enemy more than a thousand miles away in ten days.

While Li Cunhuan was silently waiting, slowly watching the entire battle situation, Jinyiwei became Li Cunhuan's omniscient eyes. After Li Cunhuan came to Dezhou, Luo Hongxin led his troops to retreat to Weizhou. To Li Cunhuan's surprise, the county commander of Pingyuan County was actually a general, who dragged Luo Hongxin's 20,000 Wei Bo army to death on the plain with less than 2,000 soldiers and horses.

Li Cunhuan met with this county commander named Sun He, and found that he was very talkative and liked strategy, so Li Cunhuan promoted him to a soldier and horse envoy. Because the Yingzhou soldiers and horses were killed in the raid by Liu Rengong, Li Cunhuan appointed Sun He as the Yingzhou soldiers and horses envoys, the general of Hejian Town, and the commander of Hejian County.

Although it is very rare to combine military and political power, it is because the river has suffered a military disaster, so it is no longer suitable for all parties to restrain it. Only then did Li Cunhuan let Sun He do a big job to speed up the restoration of the people's livelihood in Hejian, plus Hejian was the seat of Yingzhou governance, and there was also a Yingzhou assassin history on it. Li Cunhuan was so relieved of Sun He.

Although Luo Hongxin retreated, the place he retreated to was Weizhou, which was adjacent to Texas, and he was clearly prepared to confront Li Cunhuan. Li Cunhuan is also very happy about this. The two sides pretended to be stupid and confronted each other, and a half-time clash between scouts broke out every day, and in general, both sides had no intention of fighting a decisive battle.

Jinyiwei's flying pigeon passed the book, and Li Keyong sent the injured Li Siyuan to send troops to Julu to capture this famous ancient city in one fell swoop. In the past, it was said that the overlord of Chu also became famous here.

Li Cunhuan was somewhat relieved, so Li Keyong was already sure that he would be able to completely annihilate Li Si'an, but he didn't know why Zhu Wen hadn't sent troops to rescue him until now, which was a little strange.

Thinking of this, Li Cunhuan's heart couldn't help but sink, he knew that there must be something strange in Zhu Wen, but what was weird, Li Cunhuan couldn't figure it out, it was really an uncomfortable fog of war.

However, Li Cunhuan is not out of the question, although this method is stupid, it is effective. All the soldiers and horses are in a state of readiness, and at the same time, the news of Jinyiwei is constantly transmitted to Texas. Yang Shihou, Han Yanhui, Park Jinghui and several others stayed in the Chinese army's big tent in three shifts, constantly updating the latest news on the sand table. If you notice something wrong, you can quickly find out.

Although he couldn't see through Zhu Wen's plan, he also improved his reflexes to the top. Even if it is shaded by Zhu Wenyin, the loss can be reduced by a few points.

"Your Highness, there is new information!" Feng Dao walked into the tent and woke up Li Cunhuan.

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he was shocked, and those residual sleepiness also dissipated cleanly, stood up in civilian clothes, and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Zhu Wen sent Zhu Youning to lead the Longxiang Army and the Shenjie Army from Qinghe and drive directly to Jizhou!" Feng Dao said anxiously.

Li Cunhuan looked at the sky and secretly calculated, where Zhu Youning is now. Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Oops! Unexpectedly, Zhu Wen secretly rebelled against Liu Rengong! ”

Li Cunhuan didn't care about his image anymore, so he hurriedly took down a robe from a hanger on the side and put it on his body. took the belt handed over by Feng Dao, and quickly and casually tied it around his waist. He quickly went out to the big tent of the Chinese army.

The tent where Li Cunhuan lived was not far from the big tent of the Chinese army, and he soon came to the big tent of the Chinese army. Before everyone could react, Li Cunhuan had already ordered loudly: "Quick! Deduce what kind of situation Liu Rengong's surrender to Zhu Wen will cause to the current situation! ”

It was Park Jinghui on duty, and there were more than a dozen low-level generals, and they couldn't take care of the doubts in their hearts when they saw that it was Li Cunhuan. hurriedly deduced according to the information given by Li Cunhuan.

"Quick! Go and wake up Yang Shihou, Han Yanhui, Jiang Yingjie, Yuan Xingqin and these people to come over! Li Cunhuan said quickly to Park Lejiao, who had just caught up.

Fortunately, Park Le's hearing was not bad, and he could hear Li Cunhuan's words clearly, which seemed to be a machine gun spitting bullets. In response, he quickly walked out of the Chinese army's tent.

The deduction is not easy, it needs to imitate the surnames of the commanders of both sides, and then deduce more than a dozen or even hundreds of deduction results through a certain amount of information, and then choose one that is most in line with reality. It's not just about wisdom, it's about luck. In ancient times, when intelligence was scarce, the ability of commanders was even more important, and some commanders could feel the correct intelligence through clues and intuition that almost penetrated the fog of war, so as to make the right choice.

Therefore, although Li Cunhuan attaches great importance to deduction, he will never be superstitious about deduction. Because of the good luck of the deduction in ancient times, you may be able to get an almost 100% deduction, and if you are unlucky, you may be able to get a 50% or 60% deduction.

Park Jinghui walked up to Li Cunhuan and reported in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the deduction is coming, and it is initially believed that Liu Rengong surrenders, and Zhu Youning will give up the full occupation of Jizhou, and occupy the county and town leading to Zhaozhou as quickly as possible, with the cooperation of Liu Rengong, and the goal should be one of the two places of Gaoyi and Baixiang." ”

Speaking of this, Park Jinghui pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Gaoyi is located in the hinterland of Zhaozhou, and the terrain is dangerous, and there are two rivers in the north and south, which can not only resist Li Keyong's counterattack, but also resist the counterattack of soldiers and horses in the direction of Zhaozhou. And Baixiang was Li Keyong's previous base camp, and a large amount of military food was hoarded in it, which was at least enough to support Li Ke's needs for half a month with an army of 90,000. The longer you delay, the more variables you have. But there are also a lot of soldiers and horses stationed in Baixiang, if they can't capture Baixiang in one fell swoop, it will be difficult for Zhu Youning's strange army to turn around and occupy Gaoyi. ”

"In this way, Li Keyong is not without a chance!" Li Cunhuan said that he was more or less relieved here.

"Not really!" Yang Shihou didn't know when he came in, but listening to his familiar tone, it should have been a good time, but Li Cunhuan, who had been paying attention to the trend of the battle situation, didn't notice it.

"Shi Hou, do you have any different opinions?" When Li Cunhuan heard this, he asked with a little surprise.

Yang Shihou nodded and said with a solemn face: "Until now, Jinyiwei doesn't know how many soldiers and horses Zhu Youning has in his hands. The Shenjie Army and the Longxiang Army are both composed of 4,000 people, and it stands to reason that if Zhu Youning attacks Baixiang, he will not have the advantage of overpowering the surname. You must know that Baixiang now has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and there is a strong city to rely on. According to the usual situation, to capture Baixiang in one fell swoop, at least 30,000 soldiers and horses are needed! And this is still in the case of a raid. ”

"By the way, why didn't you count Liu Rengong's soldiers and horses?" Li Cunhuan suddenly found that there seemed to be a loophole.

Yang Shihou opened his mouth and said: "It was I who made them not need to calculate Liu Rengong, although Liu Rengong had nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, but only 3,000 people under his command really obeyed him, and the remaining 7,000 soldiers and horses were all genuine Hedong Army. They should be coerced by Liu Rengong or put under house arrest. Either way, Liu Rengong didn't dare to lead them to attack the Hedong Army. What if they turn against each other? So I estimate that Liu Rengong will be left in Jizhou to protect Zhu Youning's flank and back road. ”

"Now it seems that we have only one way! That's waiting! Li Cunhuan knew that no matter how the war developed, it was no longer something he could intervene in time now. He just hopes that Li Keyong won't lose too badly, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid Li Keyong is not much better.

Suddenly, Li Cunhuan thought of a person, and instructed Park Leji, who was standing guard on the side: "Leji!" Hurry up and invite Guo Chongtao and Guo Sima to come! ”

Guo Chongtao was asked by Li Cunhuan to come over to Li Keyong, and in layman's terms, he was Li Keyong's spokesperson in Lu Longjun. However, this spokesperson has average powers, and most of the time acts as an intelligence officer.

After being transferred, Li Cunhuan was quite kind to Guo Chongtao, and personally appointed Guo Chongtao as the Sima of the Voluntary March, although it was only a fictitious title, but this fictitious title was not something that anyone could get.

Guo Chongtao soon came, he saw Li Cunhuan's clothes were messy, and he was obviously in a hurry when he came, and immediately understood that he was afraid that something big had happened. Li Cunhuan did not hide it, and directly told the battle situation.

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he shook his head solemnly and said, "I'm afraid that Gaoyi and Baixiang won't be able to keep it!" ”

"Why?" Park Jinghui asked angrily on the side, quite provocative.

"Shut up!" Li Cunhuan glared at Park Jinghui on the side and scolded.

The frightened Park Jinghui hurriedly nodded his head, and said honestly: "The lower official is rude!" ”

Guo Chongtao showed a grateful look at Li Cunhuan, and immediately focused on the sand table. "Although I don't know what Zhu Wen's plan is. But I know that Zhu Wen's military advisor Jing Xiang has always claimed to be a self-proclaimed person. He must be eighty percent sure that he will let Zhu Youning make a move. You must know that this Zhu Youning is handsome and witty, and some people rumor that after Zhu Wen's death, he will come to inherit Zhu Wen's position. Although this is somewhat false, it can also be seen that Zhu Wen loves him. Jing Xiang will not let Zhu Youning go to death. ”

"Hmm!" Yang Shihou glanced at Guo Chongtao in astonishment, and he didn't expect that this person had a lot of skills. Turning his head, he looked at Li Cunhuan and said: "I agree with Guo Sima's words, we are speculating here, and it is useless, now we can only wait for Zhu Wentu to see him." I just hope that Zhu Wen is Jing Ke, although it is powerful, but after all, Li Ke will be able to get through this level without danger. ”

"Difficult!" When Li Cunhuan heard this, he shook his head, he was very clear about Li Keyong's situation. Don't look at the majesty now, I'm afraid that Zhu Wen has already calculated to death, and there may be a big reversal at any time.

(To be continued)
