Chapter 218: Change of Plans

About forty minutes passed, in the expectation of everyone, Li Guo led four thousand Li family troops from the west gallop over, the sound of galloping horses' hooves is like the water of the Yellow River, the momentum is a mess, the scene is extremely shocking, although the formation is chaotic, but it is full of a certain rhythmic sense of rhythm, at first glance it is a soldier who has undergone strict training.

Looking at this scene, an extremely shocking scene, Gao Yigong did not have a sense of envy, and looked straight at the four thousand Li Jiajun who were rushing over, and his mouth was also sighing: "It's only been a few months since I went out, and I don't know how Li Guo did it, and he got so many people at once." Moreover, each is the best of the best. Just looking at the movements of these people, the powerful body of Kongwu, almost all the movements are the same, and it is not a little bit stronger than those city defense battalions of the imperial court......"

Suddenly, Gao Yigong's words stopped abruptly, and he turned his head to look at Li Zicheng, his face was full of worry and longing, but he turned to ask: "Boss, where did Li Guo send my sister to have a baby?" When we met, due to the urgency of the matter, I forgot about this stubble and didn't have time to ask. ”

However, Li Zicheng did not answer Gao Yigong's inquiry, but raised his chin forward, pursed his mouth, and said softly: "They have arrived." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the four thousand Li Jiajun pulling the reins almost in unison, and in a noisy horse neighing, they all stopped on the other side of the Qinshui River, and Li Guo did not stop, galloped, and in the blink of an eye, crossed the Qinshui River several meters wide and stopped in front of Li Zicheng.

"Boss Qiyu, Li Guo led four thousand Li family troops to report to deal with the Changping army led by Zuo Liangyu!"

While speaking, Li Guo intervened and clasped his fists and saluted on his horse.

However, Li Zicheng did not respond to Li Guo's words, but waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone retreats two miles to make room for the brothers who came to support." ”

There was an uproar, compared to the 4,000 people brought by Li Guo who moved in unison, the 1,000 people led by Li Zicheng seemed very chaotic, and some of them were in a hurry, and it took a long time to make room for an open space.

Seeing this situation, Li Zicheng did not feel the slightest annoyance, as if he had long been used to it. My family knows about their own affairs, and in more than a year, although their troops in Shanxi have increased more than ten times, their composition is very mixed, and most of them are those who can't survive, of course, they can't compare with the elite from various base areas, which are iron-blooded soldiers who have been trained according to strict training.

At the same time, with Li Zicheng's order, he retreated two miles, Li Guo raised his hand even more tacitly, and made a gesture, and the four thousand Li family troops on the opposite bank immediately passed cautiously on the ice in batches, extremely cautious.

Obviously, all the way east, it was not the first time that the 4,000 Li family troops had stepped on the ice to cross the river. Otherwise, there would not be such a tacit cooperation, just a gesture, and the Qinshui River will be crossed in batches in an orderly manner. And the action of crossing the river, which is very skillful.

Moreover, even if the ice is thick, it cannot withstand the trampling of so many people and horses at the same time, and there is a great possibility of collapse.

Looking at the groups of Li Jiajun crossing the Qinshui River, Li Zicheng's face showed a relaxed smile, and he asked without looking back: "Guo'er, you should have entered Henan from Shaanxi, why did you come here?" ”

"Uncle, that's right. At the beginning, I heard the news that you had already left the Taihang Mountains and entered Huaiqing Mansion in Henan, and I originally planned to directly lead 4,000 brothers to the opposite bank of the Yellow River, near Xingyang in Kaifeng Mansion, to join you. But later, when we passed through Xin'an, Henan Province, we received a report that Zuo Liangyu led 4,000 cavalry through Yangcheng in Shanxi Province and entered Henan, wanting to encircle and suppress you. ”

"So, I will make a plan with He Zhen, change the route of the march, and come directly to Huaiqing Mansion to support you, and He Zhen will take the first step and send you a letter. No, as soon as I arrived at Huaiqing Mansion, I received two pieces of news at the same time, uncle, you led 5,000 people to attack Huaiqing City, and Zuo Liangyu led the troops to Ziling Village. Therefore, I thought about it for a while, and before joining you again, I would first solve Zuo Liangyu, and then attack Huaiqing Mansion together. ”

Hearing this, Gao Ligong on the side couldn't help but interject: "Li Guo, it's too timely for you to come!" With these 4,000 men, not to mention the 4,000 officers and troops who solved Zuo Liangyu, even if they took Huaiqing City, it would not be a problem. ”

Seeing Gao Yigong's excited face, Li Guo was also very happy, and just wanted to echo two sentences, but Li Zicheng said at this time: "Guo'er, after the meritorious service just telling, you must also know the purpose of Huaiqing City." ”

Li Zicheng's tone was stunned, and when he saw Li Guo's expression, he nodded solemnly, and then said: "However, before you came, I thought about it again, I don't plan to exterminate Zuo Liangyu's official army, nor do I plan to take Huaiqing City, as long as Zuo Liangyu's four thousand men and horses are trapped in Huaiqing City." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Guo's expression was shocked, he was very surprised, his mouth opened slightly, and he just wanted to persuade something, but Gao Yigong couldn't help but ask at this time: "Brother-in-law, why is this?" With such a good opportunity, Li Guo brought 4,000 elite cavalry, plus our 1,000 men and horses, and it was completely possible to kill Zuo Liangyu's 4,000 officers and troops on the banks of the Qinshui River. As long as you return to Huaiqing City, you can easily capture Huaiqing City with Dang Shousu and Liu Tichun and their troops, with 8,000 men and horses. ”

Although the more he spoke, the more excited he became, there were only three people present, and he spoke more easily and without scruples, Li Zicheng just waved his hand, and Gao Yigong's voice came to an abrupt end, and even Li Guo wanted to echo the two sentences, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Come on, Yigong, I know what you think in your hearts? However, there must be reasons for such a decision. As for the reason, there is not much time now, and the situation is very tense, so I will explain it to you later. ”

At this time, the four thousand cavalry brought by Li Guo had all crossed the Qinshui River, standing on the bank, the team looked at this side neatly, and made a military force to Li Zicheng, and after the latter returned the salute, he said: "Okay, after that, don't say anything, let's evacuate to Huaiqing City now." If I'm not mistaken, the reason why Zuo Liangyu suddenly stopped advancing and stood still in Ziling Village should be because he wanted to understand the situation in Huaiqing City first. ”

"Moreover, with my understanding of the officers and soldiers, judging from the previous combat methods, once Zuo Liangyu finds out that there are only 5,000 people on our side, and there are no ambushes around, he will definitely rush straight up."

Obviously, Li Guo was extremely convinced of his uncle, and as soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, he didn't persuade anything, and he turned a blind eye to Gao Yigong's frequent envoys, and instead echoed: "Yes, uncle, it should be like this." In the past, in addition to our Li Jiajun, every time other rebel armies fought with the official army, even if there was a huge difference in strength between the two, the former was several times that of the latter, or even more than ten times, and most of them ended in defeat. Therefore, if there is no accident, Zuo Liangyu will definitely catch up and bite us to death. ”

While speaking, Li Zicheng had already turned the horse's head, and as soon as Li Guo's voice fell, he immediately whipped the horse and galloped away, leaving a sentence echoing in the air.

"So what are you waiting for? Come with me, go to Huaiqing City, and meet our 3,000 men. ”
