Through the first round of verbal exchanges, Li Guanqi has basically understood Chen Guangxi. This general seems to have regarded himself as the emperor of Shannan, especially in the affairs of the army, others can't get into a word, and as soon as he tried to disarm, he was immediately blocked back.

At that moment, Li Guanqi temporarily dispelled the idea of letting Chen Guangxi take the initiative to disarm, picked out some innocuous words, and decided to go to the west of the city to review the troops the next day. The main reason why he chose to inspect the troops in the west of the city instead of going to Chen Guangxi's camp was that Li Guanqi did not believe in Chen Guangxi very much and was unwilling to rush into his camp.

Although he brought 5,000 Xiao cavalry guards and 3,000 Yulin guards, he couldn't bring these nearly 10,000 people with him when he went to the military parade, and Chen Guangxi's camp had 50,000 people. If he really has bad intentions, it's really hard to say what will happen in the barracks.

Early the next morning, Li Guanqi came to the wooden parade platform that had been set up overnight in the west of the city. He Ziming and Nameless were behind him, and Bai Wuxian brought the officials of Xiangyang City to accompany him.

Chen Guangxi transferred 3,000 soldiers, lined up in six phalanxes in the west of the city, and only waited for Li Guanqi to give an order, and then carried out various formation drills.

When the people in the city heard that there was a military parade, they also came to see the excitement, and they surrounded the black pressure for a long time.

Li Guanqi stood on the high platform, and saw the 3,000 soldiers below standing upright in the open space waiting for the review, but he also looked full of momentum, and felt a little comforted in his heart. With a smile on his face, he was just about to announce the start of the parade, when suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to the distance in surprise and said, "What's going on?" ”

Everyone followed his fingers and saw puffs of smoke and dust rising in the distance, and some black spots faintly appeared. He Ziming's eyesight was far more powerful than ordinary people, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "It's a cavalry!" ”

"Cavalry?" Li Guanqi looked back suspiciously and asked Chen Guangxi next to him. "General Chen, is that your man?"

Chen Guangxi also looked puzzled, shook his head again and again and said, "The minister didn't arrange a cavalry drill today, isn't it the emperor's horseman?" ”

As he spoke, the black dots were already closer, and they were indeed cavalry. It's just that the knights' costumes on the horses are not uniform, and at a glance you know that they are not regular troops.

Bai Wuxian was taken aback, and said in surprise and anger: "It's bad, it's a horse thief coming, hurry up and protect Your Majesty and leave." ”

At this time, Chen Guangxi also saw the knight's outfit clearly, and couldn't help but be angry, and scolded: "His grandmother's is really a horse thief, and there are so many." Your Majesty, please go back to the city first. ”

Why is Chen Guangxi angry? Because these horse thieves have grown up with his connivance. In fact, raising bandits and self-respect is already a common practice for the generals who support the army, but Chen Guangxi has done even more, he not only does not suppress bandits, he also invests in bandits, and the reason why the horse thieves in Shannan have developed so rapidly in recent years is inseparable from his strong support.

Originally, Chen Guangxi raised bandits to ask the court for supplies, but what he didn't expect was that the leaders of these horse thieves did not have such a high IQ. They only saw that the garrison in Shannan had been defeated repeatedly in battles with them. I thought it was because of how clever my combat power was, but I didn't think that Chen Guangxi was deliberately defeated.

The gang of horse thieves who came today is the largest force near Xiangyang. The leader is called Wang Yilong, and when he hears this name, he knows that he is a thief. He only received a report from his subordinates yesterday that a very big official had come to Xiangyang City, and even Chen Guangxi had gone to see him. Thinking that it was a good opportunity to plunder, he took all the brothers on the mountain and killed them early this morning.

Hearing that Bai Wuxian and Chen Guangxi both persuaded him to escape, Li Guanqi really crooked his nose. At the bottom of the high platform are 3,000 Shannan elite troops to be reviewed. A few dozen meters behind him, there were a hundred Xiao cavalry guards led by Xie Fan and a hundred Lin guards led by Chang Di. As for the horse thieves who came over, although the specific number of people is not clear, it is at most four or five hundred people, such a huge disparity in power contrast. If you still want to escape, what kind of system is it?

Thinking of this, Li Guanqi immediately shouted: "Calm down! Calm down, don't panic! Chen Guangxi, order your troops, form a formation and wait for the enemy! Bai Wuxie, take your people to evacuate the onlookers. The rest of you are here to watch the battle with me! ”

Although Chen Guangxi doesn't take Li Guanqi very seriously, he also wants to take the opportunity to show off in front of Li Guanqi today, but he didn't expect to be involved in this matter, and he was also holding back a fire in his heart.

Xie Fan and Chang Di are both masters who are bent on making meritorious contributions, but as the emperor's guards, although they are beautiful, they basically have no chance to go to the battlefield. When I met a horse thief today, I was even more smiling.

Xie Chen laughed and said: "I had to watch the boring formation drill just now, I also said in my heart that I can't really fight with a knife and a real gun, it's really boring, and in a blink of an eye, the dishes are here, now I have to perform well in front of the emperor." ”

Chang Di next to him sneered and said, "You're happy too early, right?" Performance, how is it your turn? ”

"Do you want to fight with me? Your Yulin guard is okay to deal with the infantry, but this time it's the cavalry, and you have to rely on our cavalry guards. Xie Chen glanced at Chang Di and said.

Chang Di said angrily: "How did I find out that you are getting more and more stupid? What am I fighting with you? The problem is that there are only four or five hundred horse thieves in total, and Chen Guangxi's soldiers are full of three thousand, do you think we have a chance to make a move? ”

"This ......" Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, "He doesn't have cavalry, maybe he can't stop the horse thief!" ”

"Three thousand people can't stop five hundred? How dare you think about it! Chang Di glared at Xie Chen again, pouted and said, "Let's watch!" ”

At this time, Bai Wuxie on the stage was already frightened, his face was pale, and he trembled and said: "It is the responsibility of the sergeants to suppress bandits and kill the enemy, Your Majesty, Your Majesty should quickly dodge, if Your Majesty makes a mistake, the minister will never be able to bear it." ”

Li Guanqi glanced back at him and said coldly: "You just have to evacuate the people, I don't need you to worry about my safety, and I don't need you to take responsibility." ”

At this time, the onlookers also knew what was happening, and began to help the old and the young, calling for their father and mother, and fled to the city crying and screaming all the way.

After Chen Guangxi stepped down, he gathered his soldiers and gathered them under the stage, ready to meet the enemy. (To be continued......)
