Chapter 20: The Dilemma

Just as Li Cunxiao was reorganizing his armament for battle, an officer dressed as a middle-level officer of the Hedong Army was brought to Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao glanced at the other party with the tail of his eyes, then put his eyes on the map, and said indifferently: "You are the henchman sent by Yuan Fengtao?" What did that guy send you for? ”

The officer nodded and said, "General Yuan, he heard that the general was showing his might, so I asked me to come and bring a letter to the general." In order to help the general help, the current crisis is resolved. ”

Li Cunxiao nodded noncommittally, but he was also a little curious in his heart, I don't know what kind of letter Yuan Fengtao asked people to bring? He took the letter from the officer, and opened the envelope.

It can be seen that the letter was written in a hurry, and the beginning was only a brief politeness. The main content is very simple, Yuan Fengtao said in the letter: What you are afraid of is only the king of Jin, and the king of Jin will definitely leave troops to surround him when the trench is built, and return to Taiyuan by himself. None of his generals are your opponents, so what's the use of building a trench? The most important thing for the general to do now is not to send troops to attack, but to return to the city and wait for the time to come.

When Li Cunxiao heard this, he felt that it made sense, nodded and said: "Go back and tell your general that Li Cunxiao is not an ungrateful person, and there will be good rewards in the future!" ”

The henchman officer nodded and said, "This is how it should be, this is how it should be." Li Cunxiao gave this officer some money, and he no longer fought hard with Kang Junli. Kang Junli naturally did not ask for hardship, and Li Cunxiao, who was watching, slowly returned to the city with a large army and prisoners of war, and did not dare to come forward to fight.

When he got the news that Li Cunxiao had returned to the city, Li Keyong happily said to the generals around him: "This anti-bone child is dead!" ”

……

Li Cunhuan greeted Li Cunxiao under the gate of Xingzhou City, he was very glad that the haze in his heart did not happen this time, and Li Cunxiao broke Li Cunxin's camp. Although Li Cunxin stubbornly resisted in the rear camp, he preserved a certain number of troops and most of his baggage. But the losses were not light, Li Cunxiao captured more than 1,000 soldiers, and the number of killed and wounded was as high as nearly 10,000, plus the soldiers who were scattered in the field at night. Li Cunxin had to work hard to gather them again.

"Big brother mighty! After this time, the Hedong army will not dare to be so arrogant, I am afraid that they will have to retreat ten miles back and camp! I'm afraid I won't be able to dig a trench to surround us! Ha! Ha! Li Cunhuan said happily.

When Li Cunxiao heard this, he didn't laugh and echo as usual, but said: "The only person I am afraid of is the one-eyed dragon." If the one-eyed dragon saw that he surrounded Xingzhou, he would definitely leave, and then we could easily defeat his generals. Especially Li Cunxin, the one-eyed dragon Mo let him stay, if it was him...... Hum! ”

Li Cunhuan was shocked, he was not like Li Cunxiao, he suddenly saw the viciousness of this plan. Using Li Cunxiao's awe of Li Keyong, he calmly dug a trench to surround Xingzhou. Otherwise, Li Cunxiao would attack with the cavalry, and Li Keyong would not be able to dispatch the whole army every time. Otherwise, he won't be able to resist Li Cunxiao, so when the trench is dug well, I don't know what year, month, and day it will be.

Li Cunhuan hurriedly admonished: "Big brother, why do you think like this? It's going to be cheaper, and Rick is going to use it! Now he is determined to destroy you, big brother! Otherwise, even Wang Rong will not be destroyed, but accept his surrender. ”

Li Cunxiao's face showed hesitation, and he said: "This is not what I thought, I sent a letter to a friend in the army to send me a letter, and the letter was written on it!" ”

"This must be a trap! Big brother has been fighting for many years, don't you still understand a truth? It is better to rely on others than on yourself, and it is not firm to rely on God. Now that the initiative is ours, the eldest brother must not give up the advantage at hand! Li Cunhuan exhorted hard.

Li Cunxiao's face still showed hesitation, and it could be seen that he was very afraid of Li Keyong. After a long time, he hesitated and said, "Brother, let me think about this matter again, think about it again!" ”

Li Cunhuan sighed faintly in his heart, and he didn't say anything more. If it weren't for Li Cunxiao treating him as if he were his own brother, and he and Li Cunxiao were now ants on the same rope, he really didn't want to do this kind of thankless work of persuasion.

After pondering for a moment, looking at the back of Li Cunxiao leaving, Li Cunhuan still felt uneasy. Instructed Sha Eucalyptus to call Chen Changfeng to his study.

Although living in the barracks, Li Cunhuan still ordered someone to open up a small study, and some of the books in it were even bamboo slips, which were all kinds of books collected by Li Cunhuan. However, there are many books scattered in troubled times, and most of the books collected by Li Cunhuan are fragments. However, this did not affect Li Cunhuan's study of these books.

Chen Changfeng came soon, and Chen Changfeng was still that meticulous. Seeing Li Cunhuan, he saluted in a proper manner, and stood aside without speaking.

Li Cunhuan knew that if he didn't speak, this guy might stand there without saying a word for the rest of his life.

Li Cunhuan made a gesture to sit down, personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chen Changfeng, and said: "Li Ke used a trick to ask a tooth general who was familiar with Li Cunxiao to write a letter to Li Cunxiao. In the letter, it was stated that after the Hedong Army dug a trench, Li Keyong would leave. My eldest brother actually believed it, and although I persuaded him, I am afraid it will not have much effect. If this continues, I'm afraid not only my eldest brother won't end well, I'm afraid even I won't be much better. ”

Chen Changfeng showed a deep look, picked up the tea and took a sip, and said with a little stammer: "General, you now, now you are either on, continue to persuade, Li, General Li Cunxiao, or, only as soon as possible, as soon as possible to get out of the criminal state." ”

Li Cunhuan showed a wry smile and said, "Isn't this a dead end?" If you break away from the penal state, it will be easy to say. But going back, how do I explain it to my stepfather? Especially An Shihuan has such a bad relationship with me, he slandered his father-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat and walk around. As for admonishing Li Cunxiao, alas! I guess it's hard to succeed! ”

When Chen Changfeng heard this, he showed a slightly ashamed look. Drink a cup of tea and think hard. On the side, Li Cunhuan naturally racked his brains, in order to achieve a life-saving plan. Li Cunhuan even thought about leading his troops out alone to harass the enemy, not to mention that he didn't have this force value, and his soldiers were not as many as Li Cunhuan's. And afterwards, Li Cunxiao will complain about himself when he finds out, and he still thinks about such a thankless job.

Suddenly, Chen Changfeng on the side slapped the wooden table and stammered: "Yes!" There is a way! ”;
