readx; The two countries competed with each other, and Zhang Zhijie left safe and sound, but Li Lan was a little more concerned, he understood the meaning of Li Qingan's letter, that is, to give him an ultimatum and order him to withdraw from Jiangnan, it stands to reason that this is what he has always thought, but he was separated by Jing Xiang in the past, and he could not retreat westward smoothly, which has always made him extremely frustrated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But I don't know why, now that Jingxiang has been taken by the Jiannan Army, he can retreat west at any time, but there is a subtle change in Li Lan's letter, he is not so willing to evacuate Jiangnan, perhaps because he has no worries, he has a little more nostalgia for Jiangnan, anyway, he can retreat west at any time, why doesn't he try to stay?

It was this mentality of suffering from gains and losses that made Li Lan's heart full of contradictions and distress, he paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, and some of the people in the tent persuaded him to evacuate, and some persuaded him to stay.

Deputy Marshal Li Chengshi and staff Li Bai persuaded him to evacuate, "The current plan is to preserve the strength first, with the strength of the Anxi Army, and Li Qing'an's personal expedition to Jiangnan, it is definitely not our enemy, it is better to withdraw the army west to Jingxiang to replace the former Li Mao's forces, not only will we not lose money, but we can also preserve our strength." ’

And the other three strategists persuaded Li Lan to stay in unison, "The northern army does not know about water warfare, and now builds warships, it is impossible to cross the river without two or three months, even if a warship is built, how can it be compared with the Jiangnan naval army, Ge Shuhan is the best proof, so brave generals were killed in the water, and after retreating west, they may not be able to stay in Jingxiang, maybe they are going to defend Nanzhao, and Hebei An Lushan is not leveled, once An Lushan counterattacks, Li Qing'an can only withdraw his troops to the north, and finally he will inevitably draw the river and rule, and it is not too early to give up Jiangnan now, Moreover, if Li Qingan can attack in the south, why should he send envoys to threaten, which shows that he is helpless. ’

The two factions argued endlessly, which made Li Lan's heart extremely annoyed, "Enough! Get me out. ”

He drove everything out of the big tent, sat on the soft couch, and looked at the map of Jiangnan in front of him in a daze, how could he be willing to give up the Jiangnan of Tianhua?

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, the curtain was lifted, and his son Li Yi walked in quickly, I am afraid that only his son in the Jiangnan army can enter the account directly without reporting, Li Lan is very fond of his son, he is obedient to him, and he also handed over part of the military power to him, but today he is a little annoyed that his son is rude to Jiangbei.

"What's the matter in such a hurry?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, but Li Yi felt his father's heart, and he knelt down and said, "The child was too impulsive just now, please punish my father." ”

He doesn't say that he is rude, but that he is impulsive, impulsive because he is young and energetic, these can be forgiven, especially the father to the son, how can the father scold the son impulsively.

Li Yi knelt down, and a trace of dissatisfaction in Li Lan's heart immediately disappeared without a trace, he nodded and said: "I don't blame you for your impulsiveness, but next time you have to remember, don't be reckless, if you don't call you for your father today, you will let your father and Zhang Xiangguo form a blood feud, do you know?" The messenger was the son of Zhang Xiangguo. ”

"The child already knew, so the child regretted it and pleaded with his father."

"Forget it, just learn the lesson."

Li Lan saw that there was another person at the door, who seemed to be coming in, so he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

According to Li Yi's surname, he will never bow his head for this kind of thing, Mo said that he is Zhang Yun's son, even if he is the prince, he doesn't care about it, but if he bows his head, it can only mean that he has a request from his father.

"Father, the child just got a news that He Guangping led 30,000 troops to the north with the five prefectures of Lingnan."

"What!"

Li Lan was taken aback, He Guangping has always been loyal to the Northern Tang Dynasty, he went north at this time, of course, not to help himself, but to assist Li Qing'an in encircling and suppressing himself, he hurriedly asked: "Where is the Lingnan Army?" ”

Li Yi turned around and beckoned, and the messenger at the door walked in, knelt down and said, "Back to the prince, the Lingnan army has arrived in Yuzhang, Hongzhou, and is heading east." ”

The Lingnan Army did not take the sea route, which is a bit strange, but Li Lan can no longer take care of this strange place, he walked to the map in a hurry, spread out the map, Yuzhang is today's Nanchang, the Lingnan Army went north, marched east for half a month, and then arrived at Hangzhou and Huzhou, which is a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the troops are extremely empty, if they really let them occupy Hangzhou, then the Jiangnan Army will suffer from the enemy.

This sudden intelligence made Li Lan a little dazed, but Li Yi's eyes flashed with excitement, this He Guangping came too timely, just enough to be used to boost his army's morale and morale, and Li Yi was very tempted, of course the Lingnan Army could not be compared with the Anxi Army, he had never had the opportunity to command a big battle, and the delicacies sent to the door, how could he let it go.

"Father, don't worry, Li Qing'an doesn't have a warship, he can't cross the river for a while, let the child lead the army to meet the Lingnan army, they only have 30,000 people, don't worry, the child is sure to defeat them in a battle, in this way, our army will be greatly boosted, father, this is a good opportunity for us to unite the army!"

Li Lan was also a little moved by his son's words, if it was the Anxi Army, he would never dare to fight, but now it is the Lingnan Army, so it's another matter, he also wants his son to lead the troops to fight and exercise his handsome talent, the only thing he worries about is that his son is too young.

Li Lan thought for a while and said: "You can go, I will let Li Chengshi be your deputy general, and try to bring as many troops as possible, after all, the other party has 30,000 people, you have to be twice as many as them, and you can rest assured as a father." ”

Li Yi was overjoyed, although he wanted to read Li to fight and didn't want Li Chengshi, the deputy general, but he knew that his father's preparation to lead the troops to battle was already the biggest concession to him, and his father gave him 60,000 troops, which was his decision to completely control the military power.

"Father Xie, the child is ready to send troops tomorrow to intercept the Lingnan Army outside Hangzhou and Huzhou."

．．．．．．．．．

In order to intercept the Lingnan army in the north, in late December, Li Yi, the king of Xiangcheng, was the main general, and Li Chengshi was the deputy marshal, leading an army of 60,000 to leave Runzhou and drive to Hangzhou in the south.

Yangzhou Jiangdu battalion, on the second day of Li Yi leading the troops south, a detailed report was placed on Li Qing'an's table, from the total number of troops to the number of various branches of the army, the number of war horses, the transportation of grain and grass, the route of the march, etc., all kinds of data are very detailed, which is not possible for ordinary scouts, there is no doubt that Li Qingan has placed a lot of secret agents in the Jiangnan military camp, and even bribed some important officials.

Everything is evolving according to the track he designed, the only thing that is a little different is that Li Qingan thought that Li Lan would send 70,000 troops to the south, but he expected more, Li Lan only sent 60,000 troops to the south in the end, which was more or less regretful.

In fact, Li Qing'an began to plan to seize Jiangnan half a year ago, and he carefully designed one trap after another, including the capture of Yangang; Including his announcement that 300 large ships would be built in two months; Including the fact that he sent Zhang Zhijie to envoy Jiangnan, all this was a smoke bomb he put off, and his inaction was to confuse the Jiangnan army and make them have a false impression that the Anxi army did not know about water warfare, did not have warships, and could not cross the river to the south.

He spent nearly a month confusing the other party, and he had already achieved initial success, which had already made Li Lan relax his vigilance and send his army south to meet the Lingnan army.

Of course, the northward movement of the Lingnan Army was also a part of his plan, and it was an important part, his purpose was to let Li Lan transfer the army away from the Yangtze River and leave as far away as possible, and all the smoke bombs he released before were also for the same purpose.

It is easy for Li Qing'an to go south to seize Jiangnan, even if there is no warship, he can also easily hold it, Li Lan's defense is only from Jiangning to Jiangyin, then he can use Cao boat to cross the river in Dangtu, west of Jiangning, or cross the river on Hulu Island east of Jiangyin, you can avoid Li Lan's defensive line, so that the Anxi cavalry can directly kill Runzhou.

But if that were the case, Li Lan's 100,000 troops would board a thousand warships and enter the river and march west from the Yangtze River, and the Anxi army would be far from being the opponent of the Jiangnan Navy in the river, and would not only suffer heavy losses, but could only watch Li Lan's army go away.

This is not his strategic purpose, his strategic purpose is not only to seize Jiangnan, but also to completely annihilate Li Lan's 100,000 army, so that Li Lan's army can leave the Yangtze River is the most critical part of it.

Li Qingan gently threw the report on the table, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he got up and slowly walked to the door of the tent, and looked to the south with his hand, five days, at most five days, he could get Li Baozhen's flying pigeon message.

"General, although that Li Yi is brave, his conceit will take his surname!" On the side, Zhang Zhijie said in a low voice.

Li Qing'an glanced at him, he knew the insult Zhang Zhijie suffered in the Jiangnan camp, and that slap was enough to make Zhang Zhijie hold a grudge against Li Yi for the rest of his life.

Li Qingan smiled faintly and said: "Li Yiqi I began to study him half a year ago, he is Li Lan's only son, grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, but do what he wants, when he was eight years old, he killed the little eunuch who followed him since he was a child because of a trivial matter, that was the first time he killed someone, when he was eleven years old, he was as good as Chengren, at the age of twelve, he raped one of Li Lan's concubines, without any punishment, in the same year, he killed one of Li Lan's guards, but was praised by Li Lan, and since then he has abandoned literature and followed the martial arts, Li Lan invited the world's famous martial artists for himHe is only eighteen years old this year, but there are countless people who have died under his hands, and the women who have been raped by him are also countless......"

"This man is a demon!" Zhang Zhijie gritted his teeth and said.

"No!"

Li Qingan shook his head and said disdainfully: "He is not worthy of calling him a demon, he is just a reckless boy who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

Speaking of this, Li Qing'an showed a contemptuous smile on his face, "He made a big iron spear, he thought it weighed one hundred and forty catties, but in fact it only weighed one hundred and thirty-eight catties, I may know him better than himself, Li Lan's army will definitely be defeated in his hands." ”
