Chapter 143: The East Strikes the West

"General, Li Xin has already led the army out of Liyang and went south, and I see that the direction is Linqingguan." Above the lobby, soon a lieutenant walked in and said loudly.

"General, this Li Xin is really hateful, he actually let Yuan Wuben occupy Liyang Cang and exterminate Linqingguan by himself." An elegant-looking general said loudly.

"General Wang, do you really think that Li Xin is going to deal with Yang Gongdao? He went directly south to deal with Yang Xuangan. How can a small Yang Gongdao and Yuan Wuben be compared with Yang Xuangan, as long as Li Xin's more than 10,000 troops occupy Xingyang and Tiger Prison, Yang Xuangan can be trapped and killed between Luoyang and Daxing, there is Tongguan in front, Fan Zigai, Wei Xuan, Li Xin, Qu Tutong around, there are more than 100,000 people in the four-way army, Yang Xuangan only has a few people, it seems that there are more than 100,000 people, but the real ones who can fight are only the 30,000 elite soldiers around Wang Zhongbo and Zhao Huaiyi, as long as these people are defeated, the rest are rabble. Li Xin will not let go of such an opportunity, hey! It's a pity that there are not enough soldiers and horses under the command of this general, otherwise, first go to destroy Yang Gongdao, then counterattack Yuan Wuben, and finally participate in the war to eliminate Yang Xuangan, after the victory, it is not difficult to promote the official to the third level. Li Xin, this guy is lucky. ”

"Didn't you go to customs clearance? Why did Li Xin say that just now? General Wang said with some disbelieving.

"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to take a look, and I promise to see that Li Xin's soldiers and horses are not going to clear the customs." Chen Ling said disdainfully. It's just that General Wang didn't notice the gloom and complexity in Chen Ling's eyes.

"Duan Qi, you immediately lead the brigade to the south and cross the Yellow River, remember that the bigger the momentum, the better." Ten miles away from Liyang, Li Xin greeted Duan Qi and said.

"What about the general?" Duan Qi asked curiously.

"I'll lead five hundred elites to Linqing Customs." Li Xin greeted Duan Qi, whispered a few words in his ear, and said, "It's up to you whether this battle can break Yang Xuangan's back road." ”

"Don't worry, General, the last general will not let you down." Duan Qi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.

"Okay, take care of the three gentlemen along the way." Li Xin looked at Du Ruhui, Cui Xiu and Xu Jin and said, these are the only three literati under him, and the loss of one of them makes Li Xin feel sorry.

"The last will understand. It was promised that Liyang's people would not find out that the general was not in the army. Duan Qi hurriedly said.

That Du Ruhui also said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, I see that General Chen Ling is stationed in Liyang, and even Yang Xuangan doesn't dare to touch Liyang, which means that this person is not a mediocre talent, and he must know that he already has Yang Xuangan's internal response in his army. ”

"I hope so, Mr. be more careful, Li Xin will take his leave first." Li Xin nodded, selected five hundred elite cavalry and roared away, rushing in the direction of Linqingguan, behind him, Duan Qi ordered someone to use willow branches to clean up the traces on the official road.

"The general was clever, and as expected, Li Xin led the army to drive towards the bank of the Yellow River, and did not go to Linqing Pass." In Liyang City, General Wang said to Chen Ling very proudly.

"I know that this guy Li Xin is such a person, and he deceived General Ben to go to Linqingguan, do you really think that General Ben has lived in vain in the past few decades?" Chen Ling waved his head disdainfully and said: "Okay, generals, our task is to garrison Liyang, as for other things, we don't have to worry about other things, and, Sun Hai, we should pay attention to the grain and grass in Linqingguan, we can't let the princess have no grain and grass, and tomorrow I will lead five hundred elites to escort a batch of grain and grass to Linqingguan!" ”

General Wang looked at Sun Hai with jealous eyes, that Sun Hai was Chen Ling's confidant and favorite general, no matter what happened, Chen Ling would take care of Sun Hai.

"Yes, General." Sun Hai hurriedly said.

Linqingguan is not far from Liyang, located on the canal, is a traffic artery, Yang Xuangan wanted to attack Linqingguan is to use this to block the canal artery, but unfortunately, the opportunity is not good, met the princess Nanyang and his party, the eldest grandson Wuji knows that once Linqingguan is broken, Nanyang princess was captured by Yang Xuangan, there will definitely be no good end, even including his eldest grandson Wuji and eldest grandson Wujian are unable to escape the fate of being killed. He was not optimistic about Yang Xuangan, so he didn't have the heart to work hard for Yang Xuangan, so he took the name of Princess Nanyang and mobilized the masses in Linqingguan, and he actually recruited more than 1,000 people, many of whom were slender men and people on the canal.

Although Linqingguan is very important, it is far worse than Luoyang and Daxing, he left Yang Gongdao to lead two thousand soldiers to attack Linqingguan, not to occupy Linqingguan, nor to let the people of Linqingguan come out to make trouble.

That Yang Gongdao is indeed a talent, as a member of the royal family, he actually followed the rebels, and it is not counted that he wants to overthrow the Yang family, even if there are 2,000 men and horses, to deal with Linqingguan, he fought for half a month, and he did not even go up to the city wall of Linqingguan, but lost hundreds of people and horses, and it was also the lack of troops in Linqingguan, plus they were all new soldiers, and they did not dare to come out to attack, otherwise, the soldiers and horses under the command of Yang Gongdao would probably be wiped out.

On the city wall of Linqingguan, Princess Nanyang had a graceful face, and next to her was the eldest grandson Wuji, whose face was still pretty, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Rest assured, the princess, His Majesty the Emperor will already send troops to exterminate Yang Xuangan." The eldest grandson Wuji was wearing armor, and his face was still tired, and since this time, he has finally experienced military life, and his original chubby face has lost a lot of weight.

"The eldest grandson has a son like this, and he must be smiling at Jiuquan. Nanyang's safety depends on the eldest grandson. Princess Nanyang looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and nodded, and said: "Whenever there is a need in the army, the eldest grandson does not have to report to the palace, just make his own decisions, even if he wants the palace to go into battle to kill the enemy, the palace will never shirk." ”

"The princess said with a smile, a little Yang Gongdao is not to worry about, if it weren't for the fact that there were few soldiers and horses in Linqing, Wuji would have led the elite soldiers a long time ago and rushed over to repel Yang Gongdao." The eldest grandson Wuji said very complacently. He looked down on Yang Gongdao, even if Yang Xuangan came to attack Linqing Pass, he was repelled by him leading a part of the people, not to mention the current Yang Gongdao, an incompetent guy.

"Hey, after being a royal family, he followed the thief and wanted to destroy the family business of his ancestors. I really don't know what he thinks. Princess Nanyang looked at the military camp under the city, affectionate and complicated, and there was a hint of murder in her phoenix eyes. The eldest grandson Wuji was not easy to speak, and stood quietly aside.
