Chapter 79: The Storm Rises [4]

"Brother!" Li Cunhuan didn't wait for Li Cunxiao to speak, Li Cunhuan had already shouted with a smile on his face.

"......" Li Cunxiao was slightly stunned, a little surprised by Li Cunhuan's low profile, and didn't know how to say it.

Chen Changfeng, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Two, two envoys, in order to be commensurate with brothers, it is better to worship as brothers!" ”

Li Cunxiao is not a stupid person, he is a stupid person who has already died in this chaotic era, and he has no way to step into his current position. He understood that Li Cunhuan was forming an alliance with him, or a deep alliance. It means that in the future, we will share blessings and difficulties.

Li Cunxiao believes that Li Keyong can let go of anyone, but he can't let go of himself. Because he was one of the closest people around him, but he turned out of the Li family, and secretly contacted Zhu Wen. Now he has taken refuge in Li Kuangshou. Li Cunhuan's sworn worship made Li Cunxiao even more overjoyed.

"I think Mr. Chen's proposal is good, why don't we bow up?" Li Cunxiao said with a smile.

Li Cunhuan naturally couldn't ask for it, and the worship was not headed by the older person, but by the strength of the other party. Therefore, Li Cunhuan is not afraid that Li Cunxiao will come to suppress him in the name of his brother. Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no trace of influence, but this is not a brother in the end, and the impact is naturally not so great.

Immediately, the two of them paid homage in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Cunxiao was thirty-three years old, and Li Cunhuan was twenty years old, so naturally Li Cunxiao was the elder.

After the salute, Li Cunhuan immediately got down to business and said Xun Qianyong's suggestion that day, Chen Changfeng said after some consideration: "This strategy is good, but it is a yang strategy, which makes people invulnerable." However, I have some additions, in, here. The Ji Canal in Shunzhou (now the lower reaches of the Chaohe River), there is, there is a river bay, and to the west is a hill, we can, we can wait for Li Keyong here! ”

"Wonderful!" As soon as Chen Changfeng's words fell, Li Cunhuan was already excited. "The bays and hills can protect the line of defense on the flanks of our troops, and the entrance to the bay from the south is narrow, plus the bay is soft in the mud, but unfortunately it is not spring, otherwise it is even softer. In this way, the opponent's cavalry will not be able to exert much power. ”

Speaking of which, Li Cunhuan and the others also began to calculate the number of troops. Li Cunhuan had a total of 3,000 loyal and filial piety troops, 1,500 black-clothed troops, 8,000 regimental training soldiers, 3,000 Danzhou soldiers, 800 broken troops, and 200 captured generals. However, these soldiers can't be pulled out, and if nothing else, some soldiers have to be left to manage law and order. Not to mention the need for garrisons in the direction of Gubeikou.

Li Cunhuan finally decided to leave 2,000 Danzhou soldiers and 2,000 regiments to train troops to defend Danzhou. Especially in the direction of Gubeikou, there are enough troops of 1,500 people, even if the Khitans go south, it is not so easy to cross Gubeikou.

In this way, Li Cunhuan suddenly found that he actually had 12,500 troops under his command. However, there are 6,000 regiments of soldiers, and these regiments are only soldiers who have been trained for two or three months. had to make Li Cunhuan uneasy.

Li Cunxiao also said that he sent 6,000 troops, 4,000 cavalry, and 2,000 cavalry infantry, he is different from Li Cunhuan, he is outside the pass. There are many grasslands, plus the cattle that were plundered at the beginning. Now some of the infantry under Li Cunxiao's command have been converted to cavalry, and even if they are not, they have become infantry on horseback, which has greatly increased the speed of the infantry.

No matter what, Li Cunhuan also has more than 18,000 troops in his hands, and he also has the capital to compete with Li Keyong. Of course, it is only the cost, in fact, Li Ke uses two or three times as many soldiers and horses as Li Cunhuan.

Li Cunxiao's soldiers and horses marched very fast, after all, they were on horseback, and they came to Yanle County from Beiwu Prefecture in three days. Here he and Li Cunhuan meet. Li Cunhuan immediately led the army to set off, known as the 50,000 army, and went straight to Shunzhou.

The Shunju Assassin had already fled with his family, and it is said that he had crossed the sea and fled to Silla (the territory is roughly summarized as a country on the Korean Peninsula, which is a subject state of the Tang Dynasty. The second largest subordinate to him surrendered an army sent by Li Keyong.

Of course, Li Cunhuan does not have an army of 50,000, this Li Keyong understands it very well, and the general Hedong who guards Shunzhou also understands. Unfortunately, this Hedong general only has 3,000 cavalry in his hands, and Shunzhou still has 2,000 soldiers and horses. Although these two thousand soldiers and horses are not many, they must be guarded against the water, so that only 2,000 people can really be used. Moreover, these people are still cavalry, so it's okay to ask them to fight field battles, but to defend the city, I'm afraid it's not as professional as a thousand infantry.

He had no choice but to abandon the city and flee, with him there was Shunzhou Beijia and his family, there was no way, who told him to see the situation clearly, and took refuge in Hedong. Li Cunhuan's troops regained Shunzhou bloodlessly.

Li Keyong is not an idiot, he understands that Li Cunhuan is forcing him to make a move, and if Li Keyong can't defeat Li Cunhuan head-on, even if he gets Lu Long. is just a Lu Long who is peaceful on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging in secret.

Li Keyong asked his son Li Cunqiao to guard Youzhou, and he personally led an army of 50,000 to Shunzhou. These 50,000 troops include 20,000 Youzhou soldiers, and their families are all in Youzhou, and Li Keyong is not afraid of them defecting in front of the battle.

Li Cunhuan only left 2,000 original Shunzhou soldiers stationed in Shunzhou, and he led the army to Hewan, this nameless river bay was named Ponu Bay by Li Cunhuan, and the hill on one side of the river bay is Broken Man Mountain, from these two names can be seen Li Cunhuan's determination to resist the Hedong Army. Of course, Chen Changhuo's Jinyi Wei publicized Li Cunhuan's deeds of naming these two places in Lulong.

Of course, Li Keyong also knew about Li Cunhuan's naming, he was so angry that he laughed back, and ordered that the person who captured Li Cunhuan alive was named the assassin and rewarded with ten thousand yuan, and the official who killed Li Cunhuan was promoted to three levels and rewarded with five thousand yuan.

In ancient times, people described people as rich, and they generally used their waists to wrap around their waists, or to describe their family wealth, just like the billionaires we use in modern times. It can be seen how determined Li Keyong is and how deep his hatred for Li Cunhuan is.

However, the next day, Li Ke marched ten miles, and a scout suddenly came to report with a strange face. "Sectional, front, front......"

"How's it going up ahead!" Li Ke said dissatisfied.

The scout said embarrassedly: "Please forgive my subordinates for not daring to say it, the marshal will know if he goes in person." ”

Li Ke raised his eyebrows, and quickly marched forward about a mile with his own soldiers, only to see a striking cross inserted on the side of the road, and a pig's scalp hung in the center of the cross. The following is written in Dou Da characters, "Capture Li Ke alive, reward (pig scalp) a piece!" ”

Rick's whole body trembled with anger, and he ordered the cross to be split. The army also picked up speed, and it is said that there was a roar near the tent used by Leek that night. It is also said that a certain unlucky soldier, just because his footsteps were a little louder, was shot by Li Ke with a bow and arrow, and ten thousand arrows pierced his heart and died. However, this hapless little soldier had a certain Li's name glued to his chest. Needless to say, everyone knows about this certain Li.
