In the southeast battalion, the newly appointed southeast commander Liu Yi was looking at the latest battle report that had just been delivered, and more than ten generals in the tent were staring at the map and studying it carefully, but no one spoke.

In the past few days, the results of the Guang'an campaign have been delivered one after another, seeing that Xiao Jinwu has been divided and surrounded, Guang'an City may change hands at any time, and all the people outside are also in danger of being surrounded and reinforced, and the atmosphere in the southeast camp is inexplicably solemn.

With a "snap", Liu Yi slapped the handsome case, and the military newspaper covered with fire paint had been crumpled and thrown to the ground by him, his cheeks were a little red, and he was obviously angry.

The generals sitting below glanced at each other, and they all closed their mouths in amusement, everyone was surprised by Liu Yi's reaction, this stubborn old man was not less angry about the war on the Western Front, at this time it was best to quietly withdraw from the tent and not touch his moldy head.

However, just as the generals were about to sneak away according to the previous practice, Liu Yi opened his mouth.

"I've seen it, and I don't know if Xiao Jinwu is crazy, obviously with 400,000 male soldiers, even if the combat power can't compete with the Wuling army, but if you gather forces to fight head-on, you may not be so passive.

Now, he took more than 60,000 people to retreat in the precarious Guang'an City, and the 300,000 troops outside were fighting on their own, didn't he fall into the hands of the barbarians of the Southern Dynasty? ”

Listening to Liu Yi's evaluation of Xiao Jinwu, it was difficult for all the generals to speak, especially the generals who belonged to the Southeast Frontier Army, if they cooperated with the current boss to evaluate the previous superiors, they would inevitably be flattered, so the handsome tent was even quieter for a while.

Among the generals, only Zhao Xingcheng, who commanded Zuo Long Xiangwei, was a relative of the emperor, and he didn't have so many worries, and when he saw Liu Yi asking, he said cautiously: "Xu Rui repeatedly made suggestions to the saint before leaving, and strongly advocated avoiding a head-on decisive battle, and it seems that he is extremely worried at the moment.

In these battles, Xiao Shangshu used the main force of the Northern Dynasty to meet the Wuling pro-army, and he did not get any bargain, but it was precisely because of the division of troops that the Wuling pro-army, which had fewer troops, could only fight a tough battle, but could not fight a war of annihilation.

After our army was defeated, we had time to calmly reorganize, although we were defeated one after another, but the real loss of men and horses was only tens of thousands, which was not considered a wounded bone, if it was replaced by a decisive battle with a large army, I am afraid that as long as it was defeated for a while, the army would be in danger of being wiped out. ”

"Humph!"

Liu Yiyan snorted coldly when he heard this: "Stupid! Originally, the combat power was insufficient, and the troops had to be divided to fight, and the result was that they were broken by the enemy!

Although there are not many deaths at the moment, and the main force has not been injured, the morale of the army has dropped to a critical point.

If you lose a few more small battles, even the army of tigers and wolves will be ground into a flock of sheep, not to mention the decisive battle, the soldiers are afraid that they will be scared to pee their pants when they see the army of the Southern Dynasty, at that time I see what he Xiao Jinwu will use to resist! ”

Liu Yi was not wrong, as long as the battle was defeated, something would inevitably be lost, and Xiao Jinwu's tactics were nothing more than turning immediate death into slow death, and he still couldn't see the hope of defeating the enemy, but made the war more and more erosive.

There was a gloomy cloud in the tent, even Zhao Xingcheng was not interested in speaking, the Southern Dynasty army in the Northern Qi Dynasty was very quiet in the past few days, so that they had time to pay attention to the battle situation on the Western Front, but the erosion of the battle situation on the Western Front made the good mood of the soldiers disappear completely.

At this time, a personal soldier quietly walked in and whispered a few words in Liu Yi's ear, a trace of surprise flashed on Liu Yi's face, and he waved his hand to the generals and said: "You guys go down first, no one is allowed to relax, the western front and the eastern front have to keep an eye on me." ”

All the generals said yes, got up and saluted Liu Yi, and then withdrew from the tent.

After a while, the soldiers opened the curtain and led an old servant in his sixties to walk in, Liu Yi saw him and immediately asked: "Liu Qing, you don't guard at home well, why did you come here, is there something wrong with the lady?" ”

Liu Qing is Liu Yi's companion, just like An Ge and Xu Rui, the two have been together since childhood.

Later, Liu Yi set up his own door, and Liu Qing became his housekeeper, and he worked for more than 30 years, so as soon as Liu Yi heard that he came to the barracks, he immediately guessed that something had happened at home.

Liu Qing bowed deeply to Liu Yi, shook his head and said: "Madame, everything is fine, when I came, I specially asked the old slave to bring a few clothes, saying that it was humid here, and I was afraid that you would make an old mistake." ”

"This old woman, let you bring some personal belongings, what do you think of the barracks?"

Liu Yi frowned, his mouth was ruthless, but his heart was warm, although the old couple had no children, they had been with each other for most of their lives, and they had already been in touch.

Liu Qing naturally knew the habits of his lord and wife, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Running errands for Mrs. is just a stop, and the old slave is mainly here for Young Master Xu's business this time." ”

"Xu Rui? Didn't the saint believe his nonsense about defecting to the enemy? ”

At the mention of Xu Rui, Liu Yi suddenly became nervous.

Although he is on the front line, he is not completely ignorant of the situation in Beijing, and the fold of guaranteeing Xu Rui with his life has been handed over, but there has been no response, so he is not in a hurry.

"I'm too worried."

Liu Qing said with a smile: "The young master has already sent An Ge to Beijing, and some small actions of the prince were beaten back by the young master a few days ago, so I think there will be no big problem for the time being." ”

Liu Yi's face turned solemn: "Xu Rui, this kid is afraid that he has offended the prince fiercely, but this is all an afterthought, as long as that kid is safe and sound, by the way, why did he let you come to me?" ”

Liu Qing took out a bag and handed it to Liu Yi and said: "An Ge said that the young master has a bag that must be handed over to you by the old slave himself, saying that he has already communicated with the saint, and if it can't be done, you have to make up your mind personally." ”

"Oh?!"

When Liu Yiyan heard this, he knew that what he said in the bag would definitely not be a trivial matter, so he hurriedly tore off the fire paint, took out a long note from it and looked at it carefully.

After only a few glances, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and exclaimed: "This kid is so bold, the Holy Lord would actually agree to him messing around like this?!" ”

Before the words came out, Liu Yi frowned again and shook his head: "No, no......"

After reading the note in one breath, Liu Yi's face turned pale, and after a long time, he sighed: "No wonder the Holy Lord can let you run this trip, it turns out that he wants me to carry such a big black pot!" ”

Liu Qing's face changed: "Master, did the young master collude with the Holy Lord to harm you?" ”

Liu Yi waved his hand: "How can that kid harm me, if it becomes a great achievement, but the risk is not small, I am afraid that only that bastard boy dares to do this!" ”

Hearing that Xu Rui didn't mean to harm Liu Yi, Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and laughed again: "The young master is young and promising, and he is very energetic, as long as the master is properly trained, he will become a great weapon one day." ”

"Don't wait for him......"

Liu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If what I expected is good, Xiao Jinwu must have also received a letter of advice, that kid has thought about the addiction of commanding the world's soldiers and horses, but I don't know that Xiao Jinwu is not as good at talking as the old man." ”

In Liu Yi's words, in Guang'an City at this time, Xiao Jinwu was also worried with a bag.

The bag was left by An Ge when he left, and asked him to wait for An Ge to enter Beijing before opening it, but he didn't expect Xiao Jinwu to finally get up to the time, but he was startled by the contents inside.

"Dashuai, once this matter goes wrong, the century-old foundation of my northern country will be destroyed immediately, absolutely not!"

Deng He, the governor of the southwest, was shocked after reading the contents of the bag.

"Damn, if you continue to fight, you will lose sooner or later, and the last general thinks it's better to give it a go!"

Gao Deyong, who is brave and wise, felt happy and patted the table in approval.

The two of them looked at Xiao Jinwu with blank eyes, but his face was calm, and he kept pulling the hair on his head, obviously in a dilemma, hesitating.

"Xu Rui, this kid, just doesn't make people worry!"

After a long time, Xiao Jinwu suddenly stuffed the bag into his arms, got up and left.

Deng He and Gao Deyong glanced at each other and said in unison: "Dashuai, what should we do?" ”

"What to do? Do what Xu Dashuai said! ”

Xiao Jinwu didn't look back, and said a bad word.

Gao Deyong was immediately overjoyed, but Deng He's face turned pale.
