Chapter 251: The Trapped Beast Fights

Bi Shiduo got the accurate news, it was already five days later, the 20,000 troops stationed in Haozhou and Luzhou were wiped out by the iron-blooded army, and none of them could even escape back to Yangzhou to report the news, such news made Bi Shiduo collapse.

In fact, Bi Shiduo has his own plans.

The emperor's holy decree arrived in Yangzhou, after Bi Shiduo officially became the commander of the camp of all the provinces, he analyzed the situation he was facing, the biggest danger he faced, not the Huang Chao, nor the imperial court or Gao Biao, but the iron-blooded army stationed in Gwangju and Huangzhou and other places, the matter of exterminating the Yellow Nest, Bi Shiduo would not do it, why he had just served as the envoy of the Huainan Festival for a short time, and he had to be responsible for exterminating the Yellow Nest, Gao Biao did not do this before, and now the Tang Dynasty is not stable at all, and it is the most important thing to be able to maintain strength.

Bi Shiduo will not compare with Li Rupei, after all, his identity is different, but his eyes are staring at Chen Jingxuan, the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and Yang Shili, the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, one of the two is Tian Lingzi's brother, and the other is the general of the Zuo Shence Army, although the Tang Dynasty is facing a dilapidated situation, but the two places of Xichuan and Dongchuan have not suffered any interference, even if the imperial court wants to exterminate Huangchao, it has never asked Chen Jingxuan and Yang Shili to send troops, it is said that the conditions of Dongchuan and Xichuan are good, The armies in the two places are also relatively strong, but they are unwilling to send troops, which is not Tian Lingzi's selfishness.

Tian Lingzi was bent on preserving his strength, as long as he could control Dongchuan and Xichuan, and at the same time control the Shence army in the capital, he would be able to control the situation.

Bi Shiduo also thought that Li Rupei's strength is getting stronger and stronger, which must be a huge threat to Tian Lingzi, this time the imperial court appointed him as the commander of all the ways and camps, it is not the meaning of dealing with Li Rupei, Tian Lingzi's abacus is good, let him Bi Shiduo deal with Li Rupei, both defeats. Chen Jingxuan, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, and Yang Shili, the envoy of Dongchuan Jiedu, can stand up and control the situation, of course, the premise of this is to exterminate Huangchao.

This plan is too perfect, the strength of Li Rupei and Bi Shiduo has weakened, Chen Jingxuan and Yang Shili just entered the south and controlled the situation in the south, in that case, Tian Lingzi's strength has increased unprecedentedly, and it can be said that there is no opponent.

Bi Shiduo will not do things according to Tian Lingzi's request. But he won't let Li Rupei go.

The only way is to ask the Iron Army stationed in Huainan Province to transfer troops into Jiangnan Province to exterminate Huangchao, in that case, Bi Shiduo can take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Gwangju and Huangzhou and other places. Invite the Iron Army out of Huainan Province.

As for the possibility of a conflict at that time, Bi Shiduo doesn't care, in terms of troops, he has too much advantage. Besides, does Li Rupei want to rebel openly?

After all calculations, Bi Shiduo would never have imagined that Li Rupei would suddenly attack.

The 20,000 troops stationed in Haozhou and Luzhou were wiped out in an instant, which shows how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the Iron Blood Army is. This put Bi Shiduo in a dilemma.

Since Li Rupei has sent a large army to attack, it is the court that does not care about the imperial court, and at this time he reports everything to the imperial court. It has almost no effect, and since people do it, they will not stop, unless they surrender themselves and give up Huainan Road.

But such an ending is unacceptable to Bi Shiduo.

Since following the Huangchao rebellion, Bi Shiduo has been fighting for power, it should be said that at this time, his power is the greatest, and he can decide many things, and the army of Yangzhou is not vegetarian.

Asking the Iron Army to leave Huainan Province already seems to be a joke, although it is said that it is not of much use to report the situation in Huainan Province to the imperial court, but Bi Shiduo still has to do it.

Just when Bi Shiduo instructed Jiedu to make the officials of the yamen write a recital, he received another message.

Ma Tengyun, the protector of the iron-blooded army, led the army, which has entered Jiangnan Province and began to encircle and suppress Huangchao.

After getting the news, Bi Shiduo quickly looked at the map, which made him gasp.

Li Rupei's heart is very big, and he has adopted a two-pronged approach, trying to control the entire south in the shortest possible time, Li Rupei has controlled Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road, and currently controls most of Huainan Road, only Yangzhou is left, if it is in the process of exterminating Huangchao, it controls Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road, and the south is left with Qianzhong Road and Lingnan Road, these two places are not a problem for the Iron Army.

In fact, the power of the southern court is mainly the army of Yangzhou, once Li Rupei exterminates this army, the court will completely lose control of the south, and then Li Rupei will establish himself as the emperor, and the court will be helpless.

It's only been a few years, Li Rupei's strength is so huge, and it's step by step, it's completely different from the method used by Huang Chao, Huang Chao is a mobile fight, and he has never thought of really occupying a place, but every time Li Rupei occupies a place, he has laid a foundation here, and it can be said that the current Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road have no power to penetrate.

Bi Shiduo understood that Li Rupei had already begun to act, a two-pronged approach, as long as these two battles were won, Li Rupei would face a completely different situation, and at that time, Tian Lingzi and others would not be a problem at all, even if it was Xichuan and Dongchuan, it would be easy to be taken by the iron-blooded army.

Li Rupei is too shrewd, the power of the imperial court in the south is very weak, coupled with the Huangchao rebellion for many years, the south has become weak, Li Rupei chose this opportunity, first of all to gain a firm foundation in the south, in fact, most of the fierce forces are in the north, especially in Guannei Road, Hebei Province, Hedong Province, Henan Province and Longyou Road, which are the places where the feudal towns are concentrated, and the perennial fighting has made these feudal towns very strong.

Li Rupei did not choose to start from the north, but chose to be in the south, which is the wisest choice.

When he figured out this, Bi Shiduo even had the psychology of disarming and surrendering, but this psychology was quickly denied, he had already surrendered once, that time was the surrender of Gao Biao, which can be described as abandoning the dark and turning to the light, if he surrendered Li Rupei again, I believe that he would be spurned by all sides, and Li Rupei was originally a child of the Li Tang royal family, calm and wise, and he would be dissatisfied with his behavior, even if he surrendered Li Rupei, he would not be reused.

Bishiduo decided to rebel.

He believed that the sergeants under his command, these sergeants have been in Huainan Road for many years, and they are familiar with the terrain here, in comparison, although the soldiers of the iron-blooded army are brave, they may not necessarily adapt to the local terrain of Yangzhou, if they can take advantage of the terrain and use the absolute superiority in strength to defeat a part of the iron-blooded army, I believe that Li Rupei will not dare to advance on a large scale.

It was from this time that Bi Shiduo ordered all the sergeants to enter the state of combat readiness, and at the same time began to raise grain and grass in Yangzhou counties, it was already the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, and it was still very painful to ask the sergeants to enter the state of combat readiness, after all, everyone was preparing for the New Year, and the people were even immersed in the joy of the New Year.

After two days of careful consideration, Bi Shiduo made the decision to ambush the Iron Blood Army at the junction of Yangzhou and Chuzhou.

The information he obtained was that the two armies attacking Haozhou and Luzhou, after the victory, quickly came in the direction of Yangzhou, and the iron-blooded army soon occupied Chuzhou and Chuzhou, and the two armies met in Chuzhou and prepared to come in the direction of Yangzhou.

At this time, Bi Shiduo must make a move, if the iron-blooded army is allowed to enter Yangzhou comfortably, or even surround Yangzhou City, it will be a great blow to the 80,000 soldiers under his command.

In any case, you have to fight the Predator Army face to face, even if it is in great danger.

Bi Shiduo is familiar with the terrain of most places in Huainan Province, he has not only followed Gao Yu to inspect many places, but also fought in many places in Huainan Province when he followed Huang Chao before, so it took almost no effort to determine the ambush location, and it was quickly decided.

The location of the ambush was chosen to enter Yangzhou from Chuzhou to Yangzhou for more than ten miles, the small place name is called Shuibo, there are many lakes in this place, which is not conducive to the spread of the army, which is very unfavorable for the iron-blooded army.

The next step is to send as many sergeants as many as possible to participate in this ambush operation.

Bi Shiduo didn't dare to send too many sergeants, so his own team was too large, once he was entangled by the iron-blooded army, it would be troublesome, and Bi Shiduo's focus was on the safety of Yangzhou, here is his foundation, as long as he can rely on Yangzhou, he is not afraid of the iron-blooded army.

Bi Shiduo thinks that the Iron Blood Army is a long-distance attack, and the battle line is very far, not to mention Luzhou and Haozhou, there are many official offices, and these official governments will make the Iron Blood Army particularly uncomfortable if they act from behind.

Bi Shiduo finally decided to send 10,000 men to ambush the Predators.

In his opinion, this 10,000-strong army should not expect to be able to exterminate the vanguard of the iron-blooded army, as long as it can defeat the opponent and make the opponent fearful, then it will be able to win a good opportunity for Yangzhou's 70,000-strong army.

After Bi Shiduo thought through all the deployments, he found General Sun.

General Sun is also Bi Shiduo's confidant and has always followed his side.

Facing the map, Bi Shiduo deployed the combat mission with an expressionless face, and the 10,000 soldiers under the command of General Sun Counselor naturally undertook the task of ambush operation.

Bi Shiduo's mind was focused on the operational deployment, and he didn't particularly notice General Sun's expression, he couldn't have thought that after the 20,000 troops in Haozhou and Luzhou were wiped out by the Iron-Blooded Army, among the 80,000 troops, it caused a huge sensation, making many officers and sergeants a little afraid of the Iron-Blooded Army.

After accepting the task of ambush, General Sun did not say a word and left with a dull head.

Bi Shiduo began to care about the raising of grain and grass and the holding of Yangzhou City. (To be continued......)
