After Li Guanqi formulated a strategy for dividing the troops, he secretly ordered the army to secretly pack up and set off secretly, and after everything was distributed, Li Guanqi took He Ziming to Jinsha Pass to inspect the garrison, and asked Xie Chen to bring a hundred Xiao cavalry guards to accompany the guards!

When he arrived at Jinsha Pass, Li Guanqi couldn't help frowning again and again, although the city wall of this pass is thick, but the armament is obviously insufficient, and the defenders are only more than 3,000 people, of which more than 1,000 are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the guard Cheng Fugui is full of fat and fat, and his chin is double, and he doesn't know how long he hasn't exercised.

Li Guanqi's strategy of dividing troops is based on the inability to lose Jinsha Pass, and now looking at these defenders, it is really difficult for him to have confidence.

Li Guanqi, accompanied by Cheng Fugui, inspected the war preparation materials, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and just when he was about to lose patience, suddenly a scout rode over on a fast horse, and when he got closer, he turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and said, "Report!" Sixty miles from Kansai found traces of rebels! ”

"How many are there?" Cheng Fugui asked casually.

"Look at 20,000!" The scout replied.

"Smack!" With a bang, the material account book in Cheng Fugui's hand fell to the ground without a hand!

"Your Majesty!" He Ziming also called out anxiously, "Do you want to start driving immediately?" ”

Li Guanqi was actually scolding his mother in his heart, how could such a group of rags soldiers withstand 20,000 enemy troops? But he knew that he must not show panic at this time, otherwise everyone would be even more chaotic, so he glanced at Cheng Fugui, who was lost and depressed, and said lightly: "Pick it up!"

Cheng Fugui trembled and picked up the account book on the ground, and stood there with a red face, ashamed.

Li Guanqi looked back at the soldiers in the city, and then said slowly: "Jinsha Pass is very important, this battle is a matter of life and death, and I will personally command it!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Everyone present opened their mouths at the same time. Of course, everyone's tone is very different.

Li Guanqi waved his hand, stopped the persuasion of He Ziming and others, and said in a deep voice: "You can persuade me to leave, and I can also persuade you to let me stay!" Are you going to waste your time on this frivolous argument, or are you going to put your ears up and listen to what I'm arranged? ”

He Ziming knew that Li Guanqi's temper had been committed again. At this time, there was no way for him to leave except to knock him unconscious and forcibly drag him away, so he had to sigh and swallow back what he was going to say.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Li Guanqi deliberately smiled and said: "Jinsha Pass has a high wall, although the rebels have 20,000 people, but there is no siege machinery. If you want to break the level, it is also difficult to reach the sky! ”

After a slight pause, Li Guanqi looked at Xie Chen and said, "Xie Chen listens to orders!" ”

"The end will be." Xie Chen responded.

Li Guanqi took the map, pointed out the location with his horsewhip, and said: "I order you to lead a hundred Xiao cavalry guards with flint and immediately rush to the woods thirty miles outside the pass to ambush, and when the rebels arrive, let go of the vanguard and the middle army, and raid the baggage troops in their rear." It is better to burn their grain and grass in one fire. But remember not to fall in love with war, and accept it when you see it. Preserving their own strength is the first priority. Once they succeeded, they quickly broke away from the battle and returned to the gate. ”

"Yes." Xie Chen replied briskly.

Cheng Fugui asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty!" Our army is already small in number, and sending people out to fight in the field is not even more conducive to defending the city? ”

Li Guanqi smiled lightly, and Cheng Fugui said: "Although our main strategy in this battle is to defend the city. But you must not retreat into the city without doing anything. That will only boost the morale of the enemy, but it will also demoralize our army, and it is necessary to demoralize the enemy before they reach the city. When they finally reached Jinsha Pass, they were faced with the towering city wall. will make them feel a sense of powerlessness. ”

Although Cheng Fugui's IQ is not very high, he can also hear that what Li Guanqi said is indeed reasonable, nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true. But I'm afraid that General Xie's 100 people alone can't inflict heavy damage on the other party, right? ”

Li Guanqi glanced at Cheng Fugui and said, "Of course. Xie Chen's wave of attacks was just to give the rebels a dismount and a blow to their morale, but it couldn't hurt them. But I still have a backhand! ”

"Then Your Majesty will arrange it quickly." Cheng Fugui said impatiently.

Li Guanqi said in a good time: "I want to arrange you next!" ”

"Minister? I don't know what His Majesty wants his ministers to do? Cheng Fugui was a little curious, he didn't know what he could do.

Li Guanqi smiled faintly: "You pick out a thousand people from the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city, and go to wait for the enemy twenty miles outside the pass." ”

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Fugui listened to Li Guanqi's words, and knelt down with a plop, "There is an eighty-year-old mother on the courtier, and a three-year-old child below!" Please spare your majesty's life! ”

"When am I going to kill you?" Li Guanqi asked strangely.

"How can a mere 1,000 men stop an army of 20,000? What's more, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, didn't Your Majesty let your ministers send them to death? Cheng Fugui said with a handful of snot and tears.

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry?" I didn't really want you to fight them!"

"Don't fight? What are you going to do? Hearing that he didn't have to fight with the rebels, Cheng Fugui automatically stopped crying.

"Your mission is not to defeat the enemy, but to defeat, and when the enemy arrives, you can take advantage of the defeat as soon as you make contact with the enemy, so you must preserve your strength." Li Guanqi slowly said what Cheng Fugui was asked to do.

"Are you just going to lose?" Cheng Fugui didn't believe his ears.

"Yes, defeat is not allowed to win." Li Guanqi had a mysterious smile on his face.

"Good. No problem. Obey the order! Cheng Fugui said with a smile.

Li Guanqi said to the other soldiers present: "The rest of the people, follow me to both sides of the embankment ten miles outside the city, and set up ambushes with the help of reeds!" ”

After the arrangement stopped, when Li Guanqi returned to the room prepared by Cheng Fugui for himself to change into armor, the smile disappeared from his face, and he raised his hand to wipe it on his body, because his palms were already drenched in sweat. Others only saw him talking and laughing and had already arranged military strategies, but they didn't know that he was actually very nervous in his heart.

Li Guanqi couldn't help but be nervous, the past few days had made him understand the cruelty of war, and if he was not careful, he would be covered with corpses, and his life would be reimbursed if he didn't make it.

Although he was confident in his plans, he was also genuinely worried about whether they would stand the test of battle, after all, if his plans were not successful, many young soldiers would be killed.

Of course, he still has to show enough calmness and self-confidence in front of people, because he is the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, the most trusted person by everyone, and should also be the current patron saint of Daqian. (To be continued......)
