It's a good idea to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.

However, it is not easy to operate. This time, with God's favor, the development of the situation was favorable to Li Ang's strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.

Wang Zhongsi was scheming and sent troops on a large scale, and the good news continued to be transmitted back to Chang'an. He thought to himself, with such a result, it should satisfy the emperor, and then dispel the idea of storming the stone castle, right?

Who knew that the emperor had blown up his hair, and I asked you to take the stone fort, and you played a false role for me, just send a few good news to Beijing?

Stone Castle! Stone Castle! I want a stone castle!

At this time, Wang Zhongji was a little dumbfounded, the emperor was bent on getting back the stone castle, and he only had the stone castle in his eyes, what should I do? He had personally seen the terrain of the stone fort, which could be described as a natural danger.

It's good if the strong attack can be taken, but with such a natural risk, even if the 100,000 army attacks, it may not necessarily be able to take it down!

If the sacrifice is huge, but in the end he fails to take the stone fort, this is not only a matter of damaging his reputation, Li Linfu is eyeing the tiger, at that time, the responsibility of sacrificing so many soldiers will be borne by him, how can Li Linfu let go of the opportunity to ask him about the crime of defeating the army?

It can be said that storming the stone castle is not cost-effective from any point of view, and for him personally, there is a huge risk, which is really a dilemma!

Li Linfu has been trying to deal with the prince, but he can't find the prince's handle; At present, it is just in the name of the country, with the stone castle as a robbery, and through his own robbery, so as to achieve the purpose of implicating the prince, it is a vicious move! Under these circumstances, Wang Zhongsi was reluctant to take this risk.

He thought about it and decided to retreat.

How to return? Wang Zhongsi decided to resign from his post as ambassador of the two towns of Hedong and Shuofang.

One comes. He is also a four-town festival and controls the border for thousands of miles. It's really easy to make taboos.

Second, he resigned as the ambassador of the two towns. It is also a subtle expression to the emperor: If you force me to be in a hurry, I will not do it!

This time, Wang Zhongji misestimated how much the emperor attached importance to the stone castle. As soon as his resignation was submitted, the emperor immediately approved his request to resign from the two towns of Hedong and Shuofang, which showed that the emperor was already dissatisfied with Wang Zhonghe.

Li Linfu couldn't help but be overjoyed, he had been pressing Dong Yanguang's initiative to ask for help, and he was waiting for this time! When Wang Zhongsi provoked the emperor, he took away Wang Zhongsi's control of the Longyou army in disguise.

Li Linfu took the opportunity to deliver Dong Yanguang's invitation to fight. When the emperor saw this, he immediately agreed that Dong Yanguang would be responsible for storming the stone fort.

The emperor's holy decree was delivered to Shanzhou in an expedited manner of 800 li, and Wang Zhonghei was really dumbfounded.

To storm the stone fort, the elite must be exhausted, and Dong Yanguang is responsible for commanding the battle to capture the stone fort, which means that the elite division of Longyou will all be under the control of Dong Yanguang.

And he, the ambassador of Jiedu, can only help Dong Yanguang send food and fight.

There is no doubt that Wang Zhongsi received a resounding slap in the face.

Such. Wang Zhongsi has no way to retreat, if he really lets Dong Yanguang take the stone castle, then he will be even more embarrassed.

Then the emperor will ask, didn't you say that the stone castle can't be taken? You would rather disobey my will. I didn't dare to attack the stone fort, now that Dong Yanguang has taken it, what else do you have to say?

Li Linfu will definitely say that he wants to preserve his strength. There are other schemes. By that time, the emperor had lost trust in him, under the slander of Li Linfu and others. Not only will he be questioned, but the prince will definitely not be able to escape the disaster of the pond fish.

No! This must not be allowed to happen. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!

***

"Lang Jun, Dong Yanguang is already deploying troops, what should we do?" Wu Xuan asked worriedly.

Hua Qiu on the side also said: "Dong Yanguang will definitely transfer us to attack the stone castle, if we go, it will definitely be a dead end!" Depend on! ”

Nie Feng, Lin Dayu, Wang Guangguang, Li Qi, Mo Rong and Shun also nodded frequently, they and Li Ang are one, sharing honor and disgrace. The enmity between Li Ang and Dong Yanguang has reached the point of life and death;

Once Dong Yanguang was transferred to attack the stone fort, the first one must be them, and even if they didn't die under the rolling stones of the Tubo people, Dong Yanguang could find a reason casually, saying that they were not attacking well and were cut with a knife.

This can not only take revenge, but also have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, so that the follow-up army will not dare to slack off.

What reason does Dong Yanguang have not to do this?

To be honest, Li Ang didn't expect things to turn out like this, he said: "Don't worry, everyone, you are all cavalry, and you shouldn't let the cavalry go first." Of course, it is indeed not ruled out that Dong Yanguang may use an excuse to let us die. Li Mi, what do you think? ”

Li Mi smiled and said: "If Deputy Envoy Dong's order can't be conveyed, Li Sheren will not be considered disobedient." ”

Li Ang frowned and said: "It seems that there is only that, but now the Tubo people are extremely well guarded on the border, and our five hundred cavalry is said to be a lot less, so it is not easy to hide their whereabouts." ”

Nie Feng and the others understood now, Li Mi's meaning was to let Li Ang play alone once again and go deep behind enemy lines, so that Dong Yanguang's orders could not be conveyed, and everyone would not have to go to Shibao to die.

Wu Xuan immediately objected: "Lang Jun, this can't work!" Last time, we rode fifty horses, the target was small, and it was only by taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Tubo people that we had the opportunity to break through behind enemy lines. At the right time, Tubo gathered troops and horses to attack Longyou, and the rear air defense was weak, so that we could be like a fish in water. But now we are 500 cavalry, and we can't hide our traces, and during this time, the border between the two countries is full of smoke, and the Tubo people are heavily guarded, where can we have the opportunity to go deeper? ”

Hua Qiu also nodded and said, "Yes, it's not a good idea to go behind enemy lines now." ”

Li Mi said with a smile: "There is no need to go deep behind enemy lines, just temporarily hide the traces, so that Shanzhou's military orders cannot be conveyed for a while." ”

"Isn't this nonsense? How can you hide without going deep behind enemy lines? ”

"Just don't think you've read a few books and you're done! In our Longyou realm, if you want to hide five hundred cavalry from your own people, this is simply impossible! ”

Leon smiled but didn't say a word, his fingers crossed behind his head, and he leaned comfortably against the stone. Seeing him as the shopkeeper, Li Mi had to explain: "Five hundred cavalry gathered together, it is naturally difficult to hide, what if it is fifty cavalry, or even five cavalry?" ”

At this time, Hua Qiu couldn't help but pat his head and said, "Damn, I forgot to disperse and hide this trick." ”

The crowd was relieved.

Li Yu said: "When Wang Da asked Li Sheren to lead troops to battle, there must have been no provision that Li Sheren was not allowed to divide troops. Dong Yanguang's target is Li Sheren, not you, so after the division of troops, even if one or two of you are found by Dong Yanguang, there is no defense, as long as Li Sheren and a few of you are not found, Dong Yanguang will be helpless. ”

"Yes, yes, just do it!"

Everyone finally turned their worries into joy. Only then did Li Ang speak: "There is no need to be too scattered, there will be an amazing battle in the place of the stone fort, maybe we will have a chance to make some money then." Li Mi, let's talk about it, where is it hidden now, and the weakness that has the best chance of hitting the enemy in the future? ”

It is not easy to do this, and it requires a pre-accurate judgment of the movement of the generals and the movement of the enemy's forces.
