"General, don't be angry, the other party is deliberately provoking us." As the confidant and favorite general of Old Demon King Cheng, Chen Dabao hurriedly persuaded him.

Another confidant, Zhao Zisa, also persuaded on the side: "General, don't fall for General Liu's tricks, it is said that when he was in Tibet, he was best at stealing chickens and touching dogs." ”

Cheng Lao Demon King said coldly: "I don't know how he is deliberately provoking me, but let him toss how it is, it is also in vain, according to Liu Yuan's performance in Tubo, it should be good at that kind of mobile and flexible tactics, but unfortunately this operation, the scope of the operation has been delineated, and his mobility is greatly reduced, even if he deliberately only selected eight hundred elites, in the range of twenty miles, mobility is still limited, one force will drop ten, our department has an absolute advantage in numbers, and in terms of geographical advantages, Shigou Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, only three hundred people are needed, no." , give 400 men, leave 100 as a maneuver, reinforcements at any time, you can be sure, and then I will have 2,060 people to encircle and suppress him. ”

"When Dabao leads people to guard the handsome flag, the old man personally leads the team to catch them, can they still fly then? I also want to deliberately provoke the old man, hum, the more he angers the old man, the more the old man attaches more importance to it, and then he will arrest them all, teach them a good lesson one by one, let them see how high the sky is and how thick the ground is, hum. ”

Combat is about the right time, place and people, and now that all three are by his side, Cheng Lao Demon King can be said to be full of confidence.

Of course, it is not without regrets, that is, the bet is less, such as the half of the lottery income is exchanged for five Changluo high-speed parts, that is a big profit.

"Yes, General.

"The Last Will Die for His Life"

Chen Dabao and Zhao Zisa immediately agreed loudly.

"Okay, let them hurry up, rush to Shigouling as soon as possible, set up camp, and set up a card defense. Then let the soldiers recuperate, have breakfast early tomorrow morning, and set off immediately, it is not a problem, this will not only have to win, but also to be clean and neat! Old Demon King Cheng waved his hand and said in high spirits.

The two henchmen received the order loudly, and then immediately carried out the instructions of the old demon king Cheng.

In another barracks, Li Er sat in front of the desk, listening to a guard report to him.

"What. Liu Yuan had more than 1,300 people, and only 800 people went on the expedition? What is he doing here? After listening to the report, Li Er said in surprise.

Hou Junji, who was accompanying him, shook his head and said: "With his approach, it should be a mobile and flexible tactic, but the emperor has limited the scope of the competition. I'm afraid that if he is such a small person, it will be difficult to do anything. Especially General Cheng has been fighting horses for many years. If he wants to make the mistake of giving his life, it is simply impossible, if Liu Yuan occupies the geographical advantage of Shigouling, there is still a glimmer of hope, but General Cheng Lao is absolutely superior in numbers, and now he still has the advantage of geographical advantages, I am afraid, it is difficult. ”

Li Er scolded with a smile: "He's stupid." Obviously, let him pick first, and be humble, when will the demon king of the mixed world be the one who suffers? It would be a big mistake to think that he would give in. In my opinion, the outcome of this contest is decided, and there is nothing to look forward to. ”

"Your Majesty, there is a slight dissent"

"Oh, Hou Aiqing, please speak up."

Hou Junji said with a smile: "When he went out to conquer Tibet, Liu Yuan was the least optimistic about Lu, on the contrary, calculated carefully, his military exploits were the most prominent, and the destructive power was also the greatest, if it wasn't for the raid on the grain and grass when he touched the dog, I was afraid that there were nearly half of the people left under him, which can be called a miracle, this time the Zhenfan army was divided into two, he repeatedly surprised people, in terms of the way he acted, it was not just to be different, I am afraid there is another deep meaning." ”

"Oh, what does Hou Aiqing mean that you still have faith in him?"

"Although it seems that the defeat is decided, Hou seems to have some expectations for General Liu." Hou Junji said with a smile.

Li Er suddenly said with great interest: "Since Aiqing has confidence in him, it is better for us to gamble, I bet on the victory of the Demon King of the Mixed World, and you buy Liu Yuanyu and make a small bet, then take one or two silver as a lottery head." ”

"Fortunately, this tael of silver can still be taken by someone, although the noodles are very small, but since the emperor is interested, then Hou will accompany him."

One or two silvers can bring Li Er's relationship closer, why not, Hou Junji will naturally not sweep Li Er's interest, let alone one or two, it is ten thousand taels, Hou Junji also played with Li Er.

Li Er smiled bitterly, then shook his head and said, "Actually, I hope that I will lose, otherwise, the creation of this new army will lose its significance." ”

To fight a tough army, many troops in Datang are good at fighting tough battles and bloody battles, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to build a new one, Li Er's original intention of founding was because of Liu Yuan's strong destructive power in Tubo, and it was not a dead soldier who trained to fight a tough battle, this is the beginning when Liu Yuan was just a name, and when he was trained by Cheng Lao Demon King alone, Li Er made it clear that he was not satisfied and forced Cheng Lao Demon King to recall Liu Yuan, but he was unwilling to take a two-part test, wanting to prove himself, this is the importance of the competition.

If it is really Cheng Lao Demon King who wins, then it will prove that Li Er's idea is wrong.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, early tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, the two generals will officially start the competition."

"No" Li Er showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said incomprehensibly: "Actually, the contest has begun. ”

At the same time, Liu Yuan, who was riding on the horse, said almost at the same time: "The contest has begun." ”

The time is the same, the status is different.

Guan Yong said in surprise: "It's started? General, didn't the emperor say that he could not attack the other party until the sun rises tomorrow? ”

"Yes" Hou Jun also echoed: "General, this competition, the emperor will monitor the whole process, I saw that the emperor is still holding that clairvoyant in the hand of one of the guards, as long as the emperor stands on a high place, it is estimated that we just want to hide, but we can't avoid his tracking, blatantly violating the emperor's order, it is very difficult to explain." ”

Liu Yuan said calmly: "Think about it carefully, the emperor said that before dawn, you can't attack the other party, that is to say, except for attacking, we can do anything, in addition, the goal of this trip is to win the handsome flag, not necessarily to fight to the death, although the camp is selected, but there is no provision that the handsome flag must stay in the camp, the tree is dead, the person is alive, and the march is to fight, the most afraid is to let people catch the routine, so it is easy to put yourself in danger, think twice before doing anything." ”

"Like this deliberately provoked the soldiers of the Cheng Department, in fact, it was a contest, a contest of psychological quality, they were originally arrogant soldiers, and then they were so excited, arrogant and irritable, and it was easier to make mistakes, because our side had a small number of people and no danger of terrain to rely on, they knew that we were deliberately provoking them, and they would not be vigilant, so our first contest had begun."

Zhao Fu nodded, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he said a little uneasily: "General, your plan is very good, but our side is only eight hundred, but the Cheng Department has three thousand people, almost one enemy four, although the quality of individual soldiers is a little higher than theirs, but it is too difficult to fight four with one enemy, not to mention that General Cheng Cai is still an experienced veteran." ”

"This matter should have been well known, and this operation is under my full command, you should see more, listen more, and say less, if there is anything, wait until the end of this battle to talk about it, everyone must have feelings, and then they will be discussed and discussed, and everyone must say their understanding."

"Yes, General," several people nodded quickly.

Niulan Mountain is actually a mountain between Chang'an and Fengzhou, only two hours away from the Yangwei military camp, and when it was about to arrive, Liu Yuan suddenly shouted: "Where are Captain Qian and Captain Chi?" ”

"Qian Weiqiang is in"

"Yu Chi Baoqing is here." Hearing this, the two hurriedly slapped their horses and stepped forward, waiting for Liu Yuan's orders.

Liu Yuan said with a straight face: "The two of you, each lead a team to the designated point to set up camp, light a bonfire for every two people at night, and immediately move to the west as soon as the day dawns, give full play to its mobile advantages, and do not entangle with the enemy." ”

"Yes"

After the two agreed in unison, Qian Weiqiang whispered: "Then general, when will you come back to meet?" ”

"It's not converging" Liu Yuan said lightly: "I have to do some preparations, how to go and how to do it, I will send someone to inform you." ”

Wei Chi Baoqing said with some surprise: "General, didn't you choose a camp in front of the emperor?" This, this"

Liu Yuan shook his head and said: "It's all said, the competition has begun, the soldiers are impermanent, the water is normal, where is the camp chosen, but there is no rule that you must live in the camp, okay, you two can do what I tell you, go ahead." ”

"Yes, General!" (To be continued......)

PS: It's so cold, seven degrees outside, and it is estimated that there are only five or six degrees indoors, which is cold~~~
