In the middle of the night, when the army led by Li Guanqi arrived at the city of Chengdu, the gates of Chengdu had already been opened - the defenders of the city had surrendered.

The bloodless capture of Chengdu by the soldiers made the big cadres extremely excited, and everyone's mood was unusually high, and the call for an immediate decisive battle could be heard everywhere, because with the addition of the Chengdu defenders, Li Guanqi's current strength was not much less than Li Moran's main force.

But Li Guanqi himself was not carried away by the victory, he knew very well that since the outbreak of the war, although his side has not been defeated, but he has used the encroachment tactics of taking a bite here and a bite there, especially the capture of Chengdu this time, which is also mixed with a lot of luck. And if he wants to have a head-on battle with Li Moran, it is purely a fight for manpower and combat power, and he will not do it. Because there is still a Chen Guangxi in Shannan waiting for him to clean up.

Li Guanqi sent someone to Li Moran to send a letter of persuasion to surrender, promising that as long as Li Moran stopped rebelling, he would not blame the past, not only would not kill him, but also would retain his family's title of duke.

Li Moran did not accept Li Guanqi's persuasion, his son and younger brother died, his eyes were blinded by power at first, and now they have been filled with hatred, and he made a heavy oath in front of all the soldiers - he must defeat Li Guanqi.

"Can we really defeat the God of War Emperor?" The soldiers discussed privately, these days, Li Guanqi was a god-like existence in the eyes of the soldiers of the Jiannan Army, and they had never seen such a strange person using soldiers.

"Do you think it's possible?" The other soldier said angrily, "Did you hear that?" He only used three people to capture Chengdu City! Chengdu City has 30,000 elite defenders! The second general is the most capable of fighting in our Jiannan Army, which is not something that ordinary people can do at all! ”

"Look at what you said! Of course he is not an ordinary person anymore, he is the emperor and the true son of the dragon! Our grandfather is a tiger at most, but how can a tiger fight a real dragon? ”

These words. Li Moran didn't hear it, but he also knew very well that in the Battle of Chengdu, Li Guanqi captured his allegedly impenetrable base camp with only three people, which made the morale of the Jiannan army extremely low, so a big victory was needed to reverse the situation.

Li Moran reduced the defenders everywhere to the lowest number, and all the others gathered closer to his main force. He will have to fight the main force of Li Guanqi.

But Li Guanqi had been avoiding it before, which made him very annoyed, and now he couldn't let this situation continue, he wanted to lead Li Guanqi to take the initiative to come out for a decisive battle.

The best bait is naturally Li Moran himself.

Soon, the scouts sent by Li Guanqi learned with a little effort that Li Moran had 30,000 troops in Bazhong, and the rest of the troops were going to besiege Chengdu separately.

"Your Majesty! This is a great opportunity! After listening to the scout's report, Liu Xia, the general of the Zuo Wuwei Army, hurriedly said, "The defense of Bazhong City is weak. Li Moran only has 30,000 horses, and a battle can be decided! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, please! I am willing to take the lead! Xie Chen also said excitedly.

Li Guanqi calmly examined the map, and only after a long time did he raise his head and ask Zhu Yi, the commander of Yulin Wei, "What do you think?" ”

"The minister thinks this is Li Moran's plan to lure the enemy." Zhu Yi said in a deep voice.

"How so?" Liu Xia didn't wait for Li Guanqi to speak, so he hurriedly asked Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi glanced at Li Guanqi, and when he saw that he nodded at himself, he said, "Just calm down and think about it!" Li Moran's plan to lure the enemy is too obvious. Our army left 20,000 defenders in Chengdu, and with Chengdu's city defense, it can completely resist the attack of 200,000 troops! The morale of the Jiannan Army is now low. If I were Li Moran, what I should do now would be to think of how to fight two easy battles to boost morale. Instead of being dizzy to fight Chengdu, which is impossible to attack! ”

Li Guanqi nodded appreciatively at Zhu Yi and said, "What Zhu Yi said is good!" Based on this alone, it can be concluded that Li Moran is luring the main force of our army to attack his Chinese army, and then encircle us on all sides, forcing us to have a decisive battle with him! What do you think our army should do? ”

"Since it's a trick to lure the enemy, why don't we just hold our troops?" Liu Xia scratched his head and said.

"The minister thinks that he can deal with Li Moran with false troops, and the main force of our army will attack his various city passes. Now that the defenses of these cities are empty, it's a good time to take them! "Xiao Cavalry Commander Wei Bijiang said.

After listening to everyone's suggestions, Li Guanqi shook his head and said, "It's not good!" Since Li Moran has set a trap for us, wouldn't it be wasted if we don't need it? ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Whatever is planned!"

"Will it be calculated?" All the generals in the tent looked at Li Guanqi with puzzled faces.

"Not bad!" Li Guanqi stretched out his hand and pointed on the map. "Come and see! My plan was that Zhu Yi led the main force to set up an ambush here, and I led the cavalry guards and other guards to feint against Li Moran, and the whole army was defeated in the middle of the battle. ”

"That's a good plan!" Liu Xia and Xie Chen nodded again and again.

Zhu Yi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty's plan is wonderful, but it is too risky!" Please ask Your Majesty to command all armies to set up ambushes, and the ministers will be bait! ”

Li Guanqi smiled lightly and said, "Your kindness is appreciated." But what Li Moran wants is my head, not your Zhu Yi's. Only if I personally go to be this bait, will he Li Moran obediently take the bait! ”

"But ......"

"No, no!" Li Guanqi waved his hand vigorously and said categorically, "I have made up my mind!" You don't have to be persuaded! Let's get ready! ”

Before dawn the next day, Li Guanqi led 10,000 black-clothed and black-armored cavalry to quietly set off. Just when Li Moran was still worried about whether Li Guanqi would fall for the trick and came to attack his Chinese army, he reported that the outer cordon had been broken through, and the cavalry of the Great Cadre Army had come straight to Bazhong, and the banner was the yellow dragon flag on a white background symbolized by the emperor.

Li Moran sighed at the speed of Li Guanqi's march, and on the other hand, he urgently ordered all soldiers and horses to return to the army immediately to complete the encirclement of the cavalry of the 10,000-strong army. But the change in the battle situation was unexpected, Li Guanqi quickly attacked the city of Bazhong, so that Li Moran saw his face, and suddenly ordered the army to retreat, while Li Moran's other armies still had time to complete the siege.

Seeing that Li Guanqi, the enemy who had lost his brother and son, was in front of him, how could Li Moran be willing to let him leave safely? Immediately ordered the whole army to pursue. (To be continued......)
