(Ask for collection)

Yu Wenshu, who was removed from all official positions, was reactivated and still led the military. In the first month of the ninth year of the Great Cause, the second expedition to Liao began in the midst of the people's complaints. Yang Guang's imperial chariot was in Chang'an, which left on the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, and went to Huaiyuan Town again with all the troops.

Although it has only been half a year, Yang Guang has already forgotten the young man he met by chance on the bank of Liaoshui. He was getting too lazy to use his brain now, and he was basically too lazy to look at the notes that were presented to him. Occasionally, when I think about it, I feel very tired and irritable when I can't read a few copies, and I forget all the surnames of Suo and ignore them.

This time, the six armies of the Son of Heaven went north to defend the imperial chariot and only walked by land for two days, and then changed to a dragon boat and went north along the river.

Yang Guang asked all the armies to rush to Huaiyuan Town before March, and the farther teams needed to travel under the stars and nights, and the weight of grain and grass was the last thing to worry about. The Great Sui is rich in the world, and the granaries in various places are enough to feed the entire people of the Great Sui for many years. In fact, until the late Tang Dynasty, there was still food in the granary built by the Great Sui that had not been eaten.

People from all walks of life were in a hurry, and Li Xian's Yanshanzhai people stopped at the junction of Xindu County and Qinghe County, and the place where the army stopped was less than thirty miles away from Gucheng County.

"General, isn't it too child's play for us to do this?"

The iron wolf followed Li Xian around the camp, asking in a low voice as he walked.

"Child's play?"

Li Xian chuckled and said: "The Great Sui Imperial Court has been chaotic to a certain extent, and the armies from all walks of life are rushing north, so let's stop here for a few days, who knows which army we are?" Under the banner of the Great Sui, don't worry, no one will doubt it. ”

"I'm worried, our team is stationed here, what if the bandits in Gaoji Boli Gao Shida Dou Jiande get the letter and don't dare to come out again?"

Li Xian nodded and said: "I just want Gao Shida not to come out, you take the cavalry and follow me into the county seat of Gucheng County in a while, and I will go to meet the Gucheng County Order." Chen Que'er said before that Li County Order is really not a good thing, and by the way, I asked about the situation of Gao Jibo. ”

"Don't hit the high chicken?"

The Iron Fang Wolf was surprised.

Li Xian hummed and said, "Don't fight." ”

The iron wolf was confused, and he really couldn't guess the general's thoughts. When the army set out, the original strategy was to take advantage of the opportunity of Gao Shida to take the opportunity of Gao Jibo, and then use these hundreds of miles of Ze as a base, and then map other places. It's just that now it seems that the general is not satisfied with Gao Jibo.

Li Xian was indeed dissatisfied with Gaojibo, from the Flying Tiger spy sent by Chen Que'er to greet the army, Li Xian had already asked the terrain of Gaojibo clearly, although it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was still not dangerous enough. It is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is absolutely untenable if there is no solid base area. Before arriving in Qinghe County, Li Xian was not very clear about the terrain, and he had the impression that Gaojibo should be a very suitable place to live, but after arriving in Qinghe County, Li Xian looked at it, the terrain here was too flat, and it was not ideal.

When he entered the secret agent under Chen Que'er in Xindu County to follow him, Li Xian began to consider changing places.

The reason why he didn't make it clear to Iron Fang Wolf and the others in these days was because he didn't think of a solution until last night. This method is not a clever plan, but Li Xian feels that there should be an eighty percent chance of success. The other place he had been to was the most suitable place for the army to be stationed temporarily, and as long as it succeeded, it was far more stable than Gaojibo.

He smiled and said to the Iron Fang, "Call everyone here and tell you what I'm going to do." ”

The Iron Wolf nodded and turned to leave.

Half an hour later, in Li Xian's big tent, everyone fell silent after listening to Li Xian's plan to finish, Li Xian was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for everyone to express their opinions. After a while, Daxi Changru slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Anzhi, your strategy is too bold, but I see that there is an eighty percent chance of winning." ”

Zhang Zhongjian also said: "It is indeed a bit risky, but as the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger." Gaojibo is indeed not a stable place, so it is better to rest assured on Yanshan. If this is the case, it is indeed far more stable than Gao Jibo. ”

"It's just that the person left behind must be a bold and careful person, first, to deal with the temptation of Gao Shida and others, and to deal with the ancient city and county orders, and people who are not thoughtful cannot take responsibility. Anzhi, do you have a candidate to lead the troops? ”

Daxi Changru Road.

Li Xian smiled and looked at Daxi Changru smiling without saying a word.

Daxi Changru was stunned for a moment, then pointed to his nose and said, "You don't want me to do this, do you?" ”

Li Xian nodded, and said very seriously: "Master, although there are many generals in the army, none of them can match you in commanding the overall situation. If you are in charge, it will be a great thing! ”

He thought for a moment and said, "This campaign, the first raid. So Master, you don't have to worry too much, I only brought the Ruijin Camp to go, as long as the opponent is fooled, it will not be difficult to take him down. The master commanded four battalions of soldiers and horses to garrison here, and forgive that Gao Shida even if he ate the ambition of the leopard and did not dare to fight the idea of more than 20,000 soldiers. As long as the time is ripe, I will lead the Ruijin Battalion to complete the battle, and then you will lead the army to join me, Master. ”

"Only the Sharp Gold Battalion? Isn't it too little? In my opinion, at the very least, we should bring with us the thick earth camp of the mighty sea. ”

Daxi Changru asked.

Li Xian shook his head: "This battle is aimed at a surprise attack, the speed of the Ruijin battalion's light cavalry is fast, and the infantry can't keep up with the speed of the light cavalry at all, not to mention that there are a thousand heavy armored infantry in the thick earth battalion of the majestic sea, if this plan can really succeed, the combat power of the Ruijin battalion is enough to deal with it." If it doesn't work, I'll lead the army back faster, and let's try to get higher again. ”

After Li Xian finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and asked softly, "Do you have any objections?" ”

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "It's all up to the general's orders!" ”

……

……

Li Jian, the county magistrate, stood at the gate of the city a little nervously, and glanced back at the staff and head catcher Liu An behind him, only to see that several of them were shivering from the cold, and their faces were also full of panic. Li Jian suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took out a handkerchief and wiped the snot that was frozen out.

He had been standing outside the city gate for half an hour with the people in the county government and the squires and wealthy families of the old city and county, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he didn't see the big man coming. Turning to look at the carriage parked on the side of the road, he really wanted to get into it to take shelter. I held on for a while, but I couldn't stand the cold. Li Jian turned around and ordered: "Liu An, send a few people along the official road to take a look, why haven't you come yet?" ”

Liu An hurriedly agreed, and sent a few apprentices to ride along the official road to check.

Li Jian tried his best to look into the distance, but when he didn't see any movement, he trotted over and got into the carriage, sat down next to the brazier in the carriage, and sneezed several times in a row.

Early this morning, a military captain arrived at the Gucheng County Ya. It was said that General Xue Shixiong was ordered to eradicate the rebels in Gaojibo, and he wanted to enter the city to visit the county commander. This frightened Li Jian, he was just a county magistrate of a small county, a petty official from the seventh grade. However, General Ying Yanglang is a general of the fourth grade, and the difference in rank is too great. And he is still a real power faction, with tens of thousands of government soldiers in his hands, how can he not be nervous?

The lieutenant only said that the general would arrive later, Li Jian hurriedly summoned the squires in the county, and then took the county officials to the city gate in a hurry to greet them, but he couldn't wait for the left and the right couldn't wait, but he was frozen enough. Sitting in the carriage, Li Jian scolded in a low voice, sucking the snot that came out again.

Before he could warm up, he heard Liu An, the head catcher, shouting anxiously outside: "My lord, here you are!" ”

Li Jian, who was still hot on the buttocks, hurriedly got out of the carriage, tidied up his clothes, and stood on the side of the road waiting. He looked up and saw a wave of dust and smoke rolling in the distance. Looking at the posture, it was like a sandstorm coming from the horizon. Immediately afterwards, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves stomping on the ground came from afar, and the sound was like a war drum beating continuously on people's hearts, shaking the heart uncomfortable. As the rumbling sound got closer and closer, Li Jian even felt that the ground shook with it.

Finally, he saw the team clearly. That's countless Great Sui cavalry!

With the earthy yellow livery and the red Great Sui battle flag, it is easy to tell that this is an elite army of government soldiers. It was the first time Li Jian had seen so many cavalry, and it looked as terrifying as the waves that could swallow up the entire ancient city and county. The cavalry came in a surge that seemed to crush any obstacle in their way.

"Ahem!"

Li Jian couldn't help coughing a few times, looked down, and saw that the new official mansion that he had just replaced was already covered with a thick layer of dust.

At the opening of the door flag, first two columns of elite armored soldiers riding tall horses went out to separate left and right, and then several people wearing the armor of the captain flashed to both sides, and a black-armored general riding a majestic and unusually big black horse appeared in front of Li Jian. Li Jian wanted to see the man's face clearly, but he trembled with fright when he looked at it. The man's blue-faced fangs were not hideous, like a demon from hell.

The black-armored general pushed the armor up, and said to Li Jian with a smile on horseback: "There is Lao Xianjun waiting." ”

A knight who looked like a captain said to Li Jian: "This is our General Xue!" ”

Li Jian hurriedly saluted and said, "The subordinate Li Jian led his colleagues and squires in the old city to see General Xue. ”

Li Xian jumped off the big black horse, and he didn't see it, and took Li Jian's hand and walked to the city: "Haha, let the county gentleman wait for a long time, it's rude!" Ben will come to exterminate the Gaojibo anti-thieves by His Majesty's order, and he will rely on the help of the county monarch in the future. ”

The strength in Li Xian's hand was extremely strong, and it hurt to hold Li Jian's wrist. It's just that because of his face, Li Jian couldn't say anything, so he could only say a few words of greeting with a smiling face. Li Xian walked towards the city, turned around and ordered: "Don't disturb the people when you enter the city, if you violate military law, behead!" ”

This slash frightened Boss Li Jian, and said in his heart that this martial artist is unreasonable, and he is not polite at all, which is really angry.

"Whoa!"

The generals clenched their fists and listened to the order, and the sound of the response shook the mountain, Li Jian and the others were frightened again, their faces were extremely ugly, and the soldiers lined up and followed Li Xian into the city slowly.

"General, the lower official has set up a banquet in the Immortal Residence to catch the wind for the general, and please ask the general to move."

Li Jian said with a smile.

Li Xian smiled and said: "Well, since you have arrived in the old city, then Xue will be as you please!" ”

Li Jian was relieved when he heard that General Xue did not refuse, but before he could settle down, he heard General Xue suddenly ask in an unkind tone.

"County Jun, I have a cousin brother who does some small business in your old city and county, and I heard that I am often intimidated and blackmailed by some scoundrels, and a lot of money is to no avail, he is very distressed so he asked me here, I don't know, but there is such a thing?"

Li Jian was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and asked Liu Andao, "Is there such a thing?!" ”

Liu An's face turned pale with fright, and he asked tremblingly, "I don't know...... I don't know what the general's cousin's name is? ”

Li Xian glanced back, and then a man who looked honest and honest walked out of the team, it was Chen Qi'er, he pointed to his nose and said, "It's me." ”

With a pop, Liu An was so frightened that he fainted.
