Chapter 698: Betrayal
"Everyone, wait a minute, wait for me to send His Royal Highness King Qi." Xu Shiji's heart moved, and he hurriedly said to everyone. Regardless of everyone's reaction, he hurried out of the big tent.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, His Royal Highness the King of Qi." Xu Shiji looked at Li Yuanji in the distance and shouted loudly.
"Mao Gong, what's the matter?" Li Yuanji was already on the horse, looking at Xu Shiji who was galloping over, and said with a smile: "Mao Gong, but is there something?" β
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, what the last general wants to ask is, why is there 10,000 more horses under His Royal Highness the King of Qi?" Xu Shiji glanced around and said in a low voice: "The last general remembers that His Majesty's holy decree says that King Qi led an army of 30,000 and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led an army of 100,000, instead of King Qi's army of 40,000?" The last general hopes that His Royal Highness King Qi will explain clearly. β
"Mao Gong, you said that according to this king's strategy, can you solve Li Xin, compared to your strategy, is it more certain?" Li Yuanji did not answer Xu Shiji, but asked another question.
"It's more certain than the last general, but those guys in Shandong are probably not willing." Xu Shiji still said very honestly. I have to admit that slowly forcing Li Xin to Beihai County is more suitable for the interests of Da Zhao.
"That's it. Li Xin is treacherous, if he wants to win, he can only use strong troops to slowly persecute this person. Xu Shiji also nodded and said: "Just let Li Xin crisscross Shandong, and Shandong will be eroded." β
"What does Shandong erosion have to do with my Da Zhao, look at Li Xin, in fact, they are dealing with small gentry, those with five surnames and seven hopes, Li Xin doesn't dare to do it, we just need to catch these people, it's a good thing for me Da Zhao that the other people are dead, General Xu don't forget, what is the reason why Xu Yuanlang and these people exist. It's not the support of those little gentry, these people are not a good thing for us Da Zhao, so we simply killed these people with the help of Li Xin this time. Li Yuanji said with a smile.
Xu Shiji felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't expect Li Yuanji to defeat Li Xin. seized Shandong, and actually came up with such a method, this is the rhythm of selling Shandong in one go, but Xu Shiji has nothing to say.
"What the last general is worried about is that once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enters Shandong, these people will react, which is not good for big things!" Xu Shiji said again.
"Don't worry, the Shandong warlords are the most prestigious, Xu Yuanlang, Meng Haigong, and Qi Gongshun, as long as they all die, the rest of the things will be easy to do. Don't do anything about it, just do what you want for the time being! I believe that you and I will meet again in the near future. Li Yuanji said with a smile: "By the way, this time the army is on the march, I am the deputy marshal, and the general's army is dispatched, so I have to report to the king!" The king was stationed at the bell. β
"Yes, the Admiral remembers." Xu Shiji hurriedly nodded and said.
"Good. In that case, the king took his leave. Go back and preside over the military council! Li Yuanji patted Xu Shiji's shoulder with a smile, turned around and left. soon disappeared in the eyes of Xu Shiji and others.
"It is said that King Qi is tyrannical, why is he so easy to talk today?" Xu Shiji was taking the opportunity to shake his head in Li Yuanji's pleasant face, turned around and left, only after walking two steps. Suddenly, I thought of something, and my complexion changed drastically.
"Not good, Xingyang." Xu Shiji finally sounded the purpose of his coming, which was to ask Li Yuanji where he had an extra 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he quickly thought that he still had 20,000 troops in Xingyang. Li Yuanji transferred troops and horses at this time, and the only possibility was to transfer 10,000 troops in Xingyang. How many people are there in Xingyang now, but only 10,000? Xu Shiji suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Hey, now I just hope that Li Tang doesn't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Xingyang!" Xu Shiji can only hope for this at this time, but he knows that this is impossible, Li Tang has Jinyi Guard, and Jinyi Guard is out in all directions, how can he not know how many soldiers and horses there are in Xingyang?
"Li Yuanji, for the sake of victory, you even dared to transfer Xingyang's soldiers and horses, Xingyang was lost, see how you explain to the emperor." Xu Shiji gritted his teeth and said. He knew that Li Yuanji did this, just to do a big job, to completely trap Li Xin in Shandong, Li Tang Qunlong had no leader, I heard that Li Tang's crown prince has not yet been selected, as soon as Li Xin dies, Li Tang may fall into civil strife, even if there is no civil strife, the weak lord is in charge of the world, how can the people of the world be convinced, and finally defeated by Li Zhao.
After returning to the big tent, he immediately ordered Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong to lead 10,000 troops each, stationed in Juye and Gaoping respectively, and turned the local defenders to block Li Xin, and he led the remaining 100,000 troops to the side and pressed over.
Li Yuanji, who was halfway on the road, soon received Xu Shiji's documents, in which Xu Shiji explained his arrangements one by one, and finally tactfully reminded Li Yuanji to strengthen the defense of Xingyang.
"This Xu Shiji still has a few brushes, and he actually knows that this king has transferred Xingyang's soldiers and horses, but even if he knows, as long as this king defeats Li Xin and traps Li Xin to death in Shandong, even if Xingyang is lost, my father will not blame this king." Li Yuanji said with a smile.
"Your Highness, isn't everything under your control?" The guard beside him whispered.
"Hmph, that's nature." Li Yuanji glanced at the document in his hand, beckoned the guard and said, "Have you seen the things on it clearly?" β
"See clearly." The guard felt strange in his heart, but nodded anyway.
"That's good." Li Yuanji beckoned the guard, whispered a few words in his ear, the guard's face changed, he nodded under Li Yuanji's fierce gaze, and rode a war horse to gallop towards the east. Behind is Li Yuanji's hideous face.
Fang and County, Li Xin is preparing to lead the army, in front, Jinyiwei has been covered all over Shandong, carefully searching for the situation in Shandong, he is now in Shandong, something is wrong, it is not only the end of the annihilation of the whole army, but the collapse of the entire empire. In fact, Li Xin also has some regrets at this time, and he is a big one this time.
"Your Majesty, I just got the news that Xu Shiji of Jinxiang has divided his troops, and the 20,000 army has broken away from the main army." Shen Qianqiu said with some concern.
"Where did you leave the army and go?" Li Xin hurriedly asked.
"It could be Gao Ping or Juye." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said: "Xu Shiji is preparing to block us, so as to block us in the land of projectiles." β
"Your Majesty, Li Yuanji has sent someone." At this time, Ji Gang in the distance also led a horse to gallop over, with a strange look on his face, and said: "He sent someone to thank His Majesty for his kindness in letting him go, and after saying this, he Li Yuanji no longer owes His Majesty anything." β
"Oh." Li Xin also showed a strange light on his face when he heard this, and said, "What did that person say?" β
"The day after tomorrow, the army of Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong will appear in Xie Ji and Dayi." Ji Gang said loudly.
"Hmm!" Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, and after Luo Shixin heard it, he immediately sneered: "Li Yuanji is really naΓ―ve, he actually told us the secrets of his army's operations, where is there such a stupid person." β
"No, it may not be possible to put it on others, but it is possible for Li Yuanji." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Ji Gang, give that soldier a gold coin and let him leave Li Yuanji immediately, otherwise, I am afraid that he will be killed by Li Yuanji." β
"Your Majesty believes the words sent by Li Yuanji?" Chu Suiliang couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty." Be careful that there is fraud in this matter, then Li Yuanji hates His Majesty deeply, and may not have the intention of luring His Majesty to take the bait. β
"No, Li Yuanji won't do this, what he did was not only my life, but what he needed more was military power. If I guessed correctly, Xu Shiji's plan to attack me in three ways was thought up by Xu Shiji, but Li Yuanji had other ideas, so he wanted to sabotage Xu Shiji's plan so that he would have an excuse to seize military power before he could do anything to me. Li Xin shook his head and said.
"But will the warlords of Shandong agree?" Wei Chigong said.
"The Shandong warlords are headed by Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong, look, what Li Yuanji leaked to me is the clues of Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong, he wants to borrow my hand to get rid of Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong, and the remaining warlords are probably useless even if they oppose it." Li Xin said with a smile: "I didn't expect Li Yuanji, who was eager to repay back then, also began to use strategies. I also used a borrowed knife to kill people, which is really unthinkable! β
"Your Majesty, are we going to kill the two of them?" Wei Chigong said eagerly. Now that even the actions of the two of them have been mastered, where can such an opportunity be found.
"Extinguish, of course it must be extinguished, even the route of the two of them has been found, where can I find such an opportunity?" Li Xin laughed when he heard this, and said: "Anyway, our task is to turn the world upside down in Shandong, what can't we do?" This time, even if I helped Li Yuanji. β
"It's a pity, at this time, the Shandong warlord didn't know that he had been sold by Li Yuanji." Chu Suiliang smiled bitterly.
"Actually, what I'm most worried about is the situation in Shandong, Li Yuanji's appearance at this time is not a good thing, he gave up Bianzhou and came to Shandong, which means that Li Zhao seized the heart of Shandong, according to the news from Li Shimin, it is said that Li Jiancheng will lead the army to the south, and now it seems that Li Jiancheng really led the army to the south, otherwise, Li Yuanji would not abandon the Shandong warlord so easily." Li Xin shook his head and said.
"Li Jiancheng destroyed the Shandong warlords, and His Majesty destroyed the Shandong gentry, so that Li Zhao could quickly master Shandong." Chu Suiliang also said with some worry.
"Dengshan, you're wrong." Li Xin said with confidence: "We destroyed the local Haoqiang in Shandong, although Li Zhao seized Shandong, but we got more things, that is, the hearts of the people of Shandong, Li Zhao represents the interests of the family, those Haoqiang were eliminated by us, and the remaining land, we are all distributed to the people, but after Li Zhao occupied Shandong, these lands are still the people's?" β
Li Xin's words made people fall into contemplation, if these lands were handed over to the common people, the common people would only thank Li Xin, Li Zhao's family did not gain benefits in this campaign, and in the end they would just complain about Li Zhao; If Li Zhao takes these fields and returns to the family, the family is grateful to Li Yuan, but the people below are disgusted with Li Zhao and lay a good foundation for Li Xin's next march into Shandong.
