With Zhao Da's order, 30,000 cavalry in front, 20,000 infantry in the back, and a full 50,000 forbidden troops disappeared before and after, like a torrent of steel, heading towards the direction of the Great Zhou territory. Although the ghost spirit horse lord under Li Jiuyang's crotch has no defensive power, his speed is extremely fast, even compared to Zhao Da's war horse.

After running all the way for more than half an hour, Li Jiuyang finally couldn't hold back the question in his heart: "Brother Zhao, where are we going?" ”

"Meizhuang." Zhao Da leaned on his horse and explained to Li Jiuyang: "Normally, it takes us four hours to get from Meizhuang to Qingyang County, but this time we are traveling lightly, and we will arrive in an hour and a half at most. Shi and the others have already issued a recruitment order, and the militia who are willing to join us in the crusade against the traitors will wait there, and when the time comes, we will gather together and take Li Chongjin by surprise! ”

"That's ......" Li Jiuyang frowned and asked: "Brother Zhao, the tactics are not bad, but have you thought about it, such a rapid march is simply far away from the labor division, Li Chongjin has enough time to prepare, and when the time comes, he will wait for his work at ease, won't our army have to suffer heavy casualties?" ”

"Brother Macho, how can you grow the morale of others and destroy the prestige of our army?" Zhao Da was a little unhappy.

"Brother Zhao, think about it calmly." Li Jiuyang said: "Our 50,000 forbidden army, and then recruit 100,000 militiamen, a total of only 150,000. Li Chongjin's 100,000 tigers and leopards, 30,000 forbidden troops, and 50,000 militia are already surpassing us in strength at present, who knows if he will take advantage of the time we are marching to recruit sergeants? ”

"What else can you do with recruitment, you lost in the hands of the greedy wolf riders, it's just a rabble!" Zhao Da was very disdainful of Li Chongjin's tiger and leopard ride: "Fierce man, before entering the camp, didn't you say that you didn't take Li Chongjin in your eyes?" ”

"Brother Zhao, you really misunderstood what I meant. I know that you just took over as the capital inspector and wanted to share the emperor's worries, but you were in a hurry. Li Jiuyang said: "The goal of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army is too big, and all the actions are under the supervision of the enemy's scouts, we are in the light, they are in the dark, and we are naturally not afraid of a fight in the open, but what if they want to use any means, what should we do?" It doesn't matter if we all die, what matters is that the emperor asked us to delay for seven days, if we can't complete the king's life, what if we put the emperor in danger? Will be in the plot or not, Brother Zhao still carefully considers it. ”

Hearing Li Jiuyang say this, Zhao Da subconsciously slowed down his horse's speed, frowned, and said, "Brother Macho, it seems that you have an idea?" ”

"I have ideas, but I am not very mature, and I need Brother Zhao's cooperation." Li Jiuyang said incomprehensibly.

"What else do you have to sell with the foolish brother?" Zhao Da turned sideways and slapped Li Jiuyang, and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as you can help the emperor, the foolish brother will naturally cooperate." ”

"Brother Zhao, strictly speaking, we haven't had any conflict with the tiger and leopard after we came out of Wufeng Mountain, and Brother Zhao is brave, I believe Li Chongjin doesn't want to be your enemy." Li Jiuyang said.

"Brother Macho, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Dayao clenched his fists and said angrily: "I am favored by the emperor, and I deserve to repay him with death." Could it be that you let me learn from Pan Mei and Liu Shouzhong and not listen to orders? Or is it to flatter Li Chongjin and surrender to him? Virtuous brother, foolish brother categorically can't do such an ungrateful thing! ”

"Brother Zhao, if the macho virtuous brother is really as you say, then he won't be agreeing to risk his death." Shi heard the conversation between the two people on the side, and also came over: "Let him finish speaking." ”

Smiling gratefully at the stone, Li Jiuyang said: "Brother Zhao, Brother Shi, you think, let's rush over in such a hurry, Li Chongjin must know that you are loyal to the emperor, and a bloody battle with unknown outcome will be inevitable at that time." Rather than that, let's put on a show and slow down our march. ”

"How does this work? Our march slowed down, and if Li Chongjin and Pan Mei reached an agreement to send troops to support, wouldn't we watch the emperor die? Zhao Da shook his head and said.

"This possibility exists, but wealth is in danger." Li Jiuyang said: "We slowed down and gave Li Chongjin a feeling that the emperor wanted to take revenge, but we were afraid of tigers and leopards and did not dare to fight with him." When the time comes, I will send someone to Li Chongjin to give him a heavy gift and express his allegiance to the heirs of the former emperor, and I think he will definitely relax his guard against us. With our people in the opposing army, not only can we monitor their movements at any time, but maybe we will also have the opportunity to do something in their meals. ”

Li Jiuyang's voice was demagoguery, and Zhao Da was silent. In fact, in the face of the tiger and leopard riders whose numbers and combat power were higher than theirs, Zhao Da had no confidence at all. This time, he even had the idea of dying, and he didn't think that he could defeat them at all, just to buy Chai Rong a little more time. At this time, I heard Li Jiuyang say that there was still a possibility of victory, and it would be false to say that he was not moved.

"Brother Macho, your method is good, but it's not feasible at all." Shi thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's okay for us to slow down our march and spread rumors that we are afraid of tigers and leopards to ride, but who can we send into Li Chongjin's military camp?" Li Chongjin is a tiger and leopard cavalry general, how can he look at ordinary gifts? ”

"Brother Shi, the solution is what I proposed, of course I will go." Li Jiuyang pointed to his nose and said with a smile: "As for the gift, if my Dragon Bird Golden Knife is not enough, I can still prepare it." However, the ugly words are ahead, and after the victory, Brother Zhao will compensate me. ”

"If you can really win, don't say that I will compensate you, and the emperor will not refuse." Zhao Daye said: "But this matter is too dangerous to say, and if you don't pay attention, he will see the flaws." ”

"Brother Zhao, you can rest assured." Li Jiuyang said with a smile: "I'm not as good as you in a fight on the battlefield, I can do this kind of fooling people." ”

"That's not going to work either." Shi said again: "Even if Li Chongjin believes you, he will not let our large army approach his Guangshun military camp until the situation is stable. Even if you succeed in poisoning and cause chaos among the tigers and leopards, it will take at least half an hour to meet you from where we are stationed. If you say that, let's rush over, it is very likely that you have already died in battle, and Brother Zhao will never accept such a result. ”

"Brother Zhao, how can there be immortals in war? If I am unlucky and really die, Brother Zhao and Brother Shi will avenge me. ”

"Brother Macho is talking nonsense here again!" Zhao Da angrily scolded Li Jiuyang, and then sneered: "Brother Macho, the foolish brother is not as good as you in his strategy, since you proposed it, there must be a way to deal with it." After arriving at Meizhuang, you dispatched 8,000 militia to move freely, and the foolish brother did not interfere much. ”

Zhao Dazheng said: "If this battle is successful, our brothers will share the glory; If there is an accident with the virtuous brother, the foolish brother will bravely kill the enemy and be loyal to the country, and after the victory, the foolish brother will commit suicide to accompany you and do his duty for the brother! ”
