readx; If it was ten days ago, Li Guiren would not only not see Han Li, but would also slaughter him, and then send the head to Li Huaixian, he always believed that it was Li Huaixian's non-cooperation that caused him to suffer the great humiliation of 2,000 people breaking 30,000 troops.

But now......
Li Guiren's attitude changed, and he immediately ordered his own soldiers to invite Han Li in, and he used the word 'please' for the first time.
After a while, Han Li was led in, he looked very confident, as a strategist, one of the most basic talents is to be able to judge the situation, if he can't even grasp what Li Guiren's attitude is now, then he has failed too much as a strategist.
"See General Quy Nhhon!"
Han Li saluted respectfully, and Li Guiren reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Mr. Han doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!" ”
Han Li saluted Cai Xide again, and then sat down, Li Guiren ordered someone to pour a cup of tea, he was a little difficult to speak, but the urgency of the situation did not allow him to hesitate any longer, since Han Li was Li Huaixian's confidant and strategist, then he could represent Li Huaixian's attitude.
"The current situation, I think Mr. Han and Li Dudu should know better than me, I want to ask Mr. Han, what is the attitude of Li Dudu, whether he wants to withdraw the army, or fight to the death with the Tang army!"
Li Guiren bit the words 'fight to the death' very hard, his eyes were full of hope and looked at Han Li, he was not stupid at all, if Li Huaixian wanted to withdraw the army, he would leave silently, run faster than anyone else, and would not send Han Li to find him.
Han Li smiled slightly, "Does General Quy Nhon think that we are bound to be defeated?" ”
"This is not necessarily, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the outcome of the war is difficult for anyone to predict, although Li Qingan seems to have a little advantage, but if he does not rely on sneak attacks, we may not lose to him, more importantly, the arrogant army will be defeated, if I guess correctly, the morale of the Tang army has been too high, this is our opportunity."
"In this way, General Quy Nhon is preparing to fight with the Tang Army!" Han Li said with a smile.
"Of course!"
Li Guiren said categorically: "Either he dies, or I die!" ”
"Ahem! Cough! Next to him, Cai Xide coughed dryly, he felt that Li Guiren showed his attitude too early, this Han Li was obviously tempting, why couldn't Li Guiren see it?
He was just about to speak, but Li Guiren stopped him with a wave of his hand, he didn't want Cai Xide to interject, he could solve it himself.
"Mr. Han, I am a soldier and I don't like to bend around, let me ask Mr. Han, is Li Dudu fighting or retreating?"
"Fight!"
Han Li definitely said the word Li Guiren was looking forward to, Li Guiren was overjoyed, he never expected Li Huaixian to have this attitude, it was really beyond his expectations.
Han Li continued: "Although it is difficult to say the results of the battle, there are some ugly things to say in front, and my general has three small conditions. ”
"Conditions?" Cai Xide frowned next to him, fighting together, what other conditions are there to speak of, and there are three conditions, but Li Guiren waved his hand and asked him not to speak, in fact, this is normal, there are no conditions, is Li Huaixian willing to help him fight? He asked impatiently, "I don't know what conditions Li Dudu has?" ”
"The first condition of my general's condition is very simple, he wants to get two Dawan war horses."
"Come on, bring ten of the best Dawan horses!"
At this time, even if Li Huaixian asked for a hundred war horses, Li Guiren would not hesitate to agree.
"Thank you! Thanks a lot! ”
Han Li arched his hand and smiled: "Then let's talk about the second condition!" ”
"Mr. Han, please speak."
"My general said that he would fully cooperate with General Quy Nhon to fight this battle, and if he wins, he hopes that General Quy Nhon will stop killing, we need Han people to grow food, and we need soldiers to ......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li Guiren agreed without hesitation, as long as he kidnapped the woman, the man could not kill, and he could agree to the condition of not killing people.
"Please say the third condition."
"The third condition is that if he wins, my general hopes that General Quy Nhon will assist him in attacking Taiyuan, and then Taiyuan City will be owned by my general, is it okay?"
This condition was a bit unexpected by Li Guiren, he pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay! I agreed. ”
Han Li immediately laughed and said: "We know that General Quy Nhon is a man of promises, since the general agreed, then we will only look forward to the general's horse, when to send troops, where to meet, the general has decided, we are ready, we are on standby at any time!" ”
"Good!"
Li Guiren nodded heavily, he ordered someone to carry himself to the sand table, and pointed to a small village in the middle with a wooden pole and said: "This is Luosong Village, this area is flat, very suitable for cavalry combat, and there is a lonely hill behind the village, standing on the hill, you can look dozens of miles away, it is a very garrison point, we will take the meeting point of this hill, tomorrow we will send troops at the same time, the afternoon after tomorrow, we will meet here, how about it, is it too late?" ”
"It should come at the extreme."
Han Li asked again: "What about An Qingxu's side?" What my general means is that I hope that he can also participate in the war, as a rear army. ”
Li Guiren thought for a while: "I'll go to An Qingxu's side and say, I will try my best to ask him to participate in the war." ”
Han Li said some more details, and then gave his leave.
Li Guiren saw Han Li walking away, so he turned around and smiled at Cai Xide: "What do you think? Li Huaixian is actually going to cooperate with me. ”
"He's just trying to take advantage of you." Cai Xide sneered.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"It's very simple, his three conditions, the first two are smoke, confuse you, his real purpose is the third condition, he wants Taiyuan, and a little bigger, he wants Hedong, this person is very ambitious!"
Cai Xide sighed slightly and said: "Shi Siming's self-reliance has provoked everyone's ambitions, Li Huaixian obviously doesn't want to go back to Hebei, he wants to develop in Hedong, but if you want to gain a foothold in Hedong, the first thing is to defeat Li Qing'an, so he cooperates with you, this is his wishful thinking." ”
"It doesn't matter, although I promised him, I only promised Taiyuan, I didn't agree to other places in Hedong, now the key is to defeat Li Qing'an, with Li Huaixian's wholehearted cooperation, I suddenly have confidence."
Speaking of this, Li Guiren ordered someone to prepare a carriage for himself, and he was going to the military camp in Anqing to persuade him to fight with him.
Li Guiren left, Cai Xide looked out of the tent blankly, he didn't really want to fight this battle, but Shi Siming's order was to let him drag the Hedong armies for two days, which made him really a little embarrassed.
.......
Li Guiren didn't expect that An Qingxu would agree so happily to be their rear army, support and governor grain and grass, and An Qingxu also agreed to summon Yin Ziqi's 40,000 troops to join the battle.
This made Li Guiren very excited, although he also knew that everyone has their own purpose, but the most basic point is that everyone is the same, no matter what the purpose is, defeating Li Qingan is the premise of everyone, so everyone will fight wholeheartedly, and this is what he Li Guiren is asking for.
Under the mediation of Li Guiren, the Yan army of Hedong gradually came together, and they reached an agreement, discarding their previous suspicions and preparing for the Tang army wholeheartedly.
Time was already very tight, the three armies were preparing overnight, the soldiers in Li Guiren's army received the most severe order, pack up their belongings, each person was only allowed to bring ten pounds of personal belongings, and those who exceeded were all handed over, many soldiers brought women, these women were dealt with by the soldiers themselves, all of them were killed and buried on the spot, and at dawn, no more women were allowed to be around anyone, and those who violated the order were immediately beheaded.
Li Huaixian's army also began to pack up the items, Li Huaixian ordered the remaining 50,000 stone grain and 5,000 stone salt, all of which were given to the soldiers, and the cavalry distributed additional forage, and all kinds of baggage materials were burned.
Some soldiers brought more than a dozen pieces of money, but at most they could only keep the money, and the rest were all handed over, Li Huaixian's soldiers also realized that a big war was coming, although they were frightened, but the military order could not be violated, the soldiers were still busy packing up their belongings, checking their weapons, and the atmosphere in the barracks was very tense.
Unlike the stormy barracks of Li Guiren and Li Huaixian, An Qingxu's barracks were very calm, and the soldiers were silently packing up their belongings, without any restrictions, in fact, An Qingxu came late, and his soldiers did not have much money in their hands, and there was not much food, but his army was the first to prepare.
The sky was already dark, An Qingxu walked to the door of the big tent with his hands behind his back, looking at the red light gradually rising in the eastern sky, according to the agreement of the three parties, his army will set off at noon, and it is the last of the three armies, and the 150,000 stone military rations and various baggage materials in Li Guiren's army will be handed over to him to guard.
"Little Wangye, are you ready?" Noble walked up to him.
"I'm ready, but I'm still a little worried about it, and I always feel panicked." An Qingxu sighed and said.
"Does the little prince have any new ideas?"
An Qingxu shook his head, "I don't have any new ideas, I just have a little doubt, a very big doubt." ”
Gao Shang smiled slightly: "Say it and listen, what doubts does the little prince have in his heart?" ”
"I really understand, how could Li Huaixian and Li Guiren get together? Li Quy Ren, I understand, he is a madman, but Li Quy Ren, he is such a shrewd and calm person, does he really believe that he can defeat Li Qing'an's army? ”
"The fact that the little prince can see this is enough to show that the little prince is not stupid."
An Qingxu turned around, looked at Gao Shang and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" ”
Gao Shang smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, Li Huaixian's mind is very simple, what to set up Hedong as the king, what to put the place of death and rebirth, these reasons are all wonderful, and it is easy to confuse people, but let's peel off the skin and look at his roots, all his reasons must have a premise, that is, to defeat Li Qing'an, but can Li Qing'an be defeated?" With earth-shattering thunder, a powerful army, rich combat experience, and a commander who can be proud of the world, but our soldiers are panicked, the nest is split, the general has different ambitions, the grain and grass support is burned, and the people's hearts are lost, can the Yan army be Li Qing'an's opponent? ”
"It's not!" An Qingxu said without hesitation.
"Little Lord knows if he doesn't, and I know if he doesn't, so doesn't Li Huaixian know? If he knew that he couldn't defeat Li Qing'an, but he mentioned those conditions after the victory, then what was his intention? ”
An Qingxu gasped, he was not stupid, he understood the noble meaning, "Mr. means that it is possible for Li Huaixian to surrender Li Qing'an?" ”
Gao Shang said without hesitation: "It's not possible, and it's not will." But he has surrendered to Li Qing'an, which is his only way out, the most realistic, and his most perfect way out. ”
An Qingxu seemed to have been struck by lightning, he stared blankly at the sky, and after a long time he muttered, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Little prince, you forgot what I told you again, don't think of yourself as the commander anymore, you only have 10,000 troops, you can't control them anymore, if you can retreat with your whole body, it will be your victory, remember this!"
"I understand, Li Guiren and Cai Xide are actually Shi Siming's people."
.........
The day finally dawned, and the three armies, totaling 160,000 Yan troops, began to rise one after another, and went westward, in addition to the 160,000 troops on the same front, there were also Yin Ziqi's 40,000 troops, and he also received An Qingxu's order and began to turn around and march westward.
So far, everything in the Yan army has been very tacitly coordinated, and a big battle is finally coming.
