Of course, what Qi is launching now is only a tentative attack, and Li Fuyuan's order is just a trial, once he realizes that something is wrong with the situation, he will directly withdraw his troops and go back to preserve his strength. But who would have thought that the direct attack launched by the army of the Ten Thousand Qi Kingdom directly complicated the situation in front of him. The 10,000 troops received a crucial piece of information at the cost of more than 400 men. Now the city is almost useless, if you really can't launch a strong attack, maybe only 20,000 troops can easily break through the defense on the tower of the city.

After learning the news of this return, Li Fu was temporarily relieved, and after discussing with Qian Rong, he finally decided to continue to slow down the attack. Let's see how the situation will change when the departing army arrives. Otherwise, if the rash use of troops does not have a very good effect, they may almost give away the foundation they originally laid to the country. This is an outcome that none of them would want to see.

Li Fu and Qian Rong are now walking out of the camp side by side, overlooking the city in the distance, they can already imagine that there is a fierce struggle within the Chen family of the royal family, and there must be people who take care of their own interests to persuade the Chen family of the royal family, and persuade Chen Xuan, the king of Che, to give up resistance and surrender. Even with the passage of time and the passage of time, this force will inevitably become bigger and bigger, and as soon as this incident comes out today, the influence on the royal Chen family will inevitably be almost devastating. Therefore, the top priority they are concerned about now is not the royal Chen family, but the possibility of being ready at any time. The departing army that came here.

Li Fu and Qian Rong watched and talked in a low voice about how to deal with the departing army now. The two of them were followed by dozens of Li Fu's personal guards. These dozens of guards are all elite soldiers with one enemy and one hundred, and now the general and military advisors are talking about something crucial, unless it is an urgent military situation, otherwise these dozens of guards will never let anyone approach the outside of the tent door of this Chinese army's big tent.

But at this time, the two Li Fu's personal guards came to Li Fu and Qian Rong quickly with a soldier who delivered a message. The three of them knelt down together, "See the general, the military division." ”

Li Fu's eyes glanced at the messenger who was kneeling on the ground, and looking at the dense sweat on the messenger's face, he said kindly: "Don't be polite, get up and speak first." But what's the matter?"

The messenger in front of him took out a short message from his arms and handed it to Li Fu's hands with both hands, Li Fu opened it and saw that it was Lin Zhong's handwritten letter. This handwritten letter is also very simple, just three short sentences. "The army leaving the country is coming, there are more than 30,000 people in Mo, and the generals who are in charge of the army do not know who. ”

Li Fu also understands that they are newcomers after all, and if they hadn't found an opportunity, they might not even know the news they know now for a while. Whether it was the general or the Empress Shotoku in person, they didn't actually know each other. It's easy to understand that I don't know the generals in command, but Li Fu suddenly thought of a possibility, maybe he could take advantage of this matter.

Li Fu handed the letter in his hand to Qian Rong beside him, Qian Rong took the text message and looked at it, he held his beard and said with a smile: "Don't you think that the general thinks that there is actually a lot to be done in this?" Speaking of this, Qian Rong once again turned to the messenger scout in front of him who came to report the news and said: "I can understand that I don't know the commander of the army, and we don't know each other either." But do you know whether this commander is a man or a woman?"

Li Fu smiled slightly, Qian Rong was worthy of being a military advisor, and he had already said what he wanted in his heart at once, and the two couldn't help but smile, this may be a good opportunity. If it is a woman, there is a chance that Empress Shotoku will be personally recruited, and with the majesty of Empress Shotoku and the means and intrigues of their royal family in this city, coupled with their fluent tongue, it is easy to easily control this original capital city of Checheng. But if it weren't for Empress Shengde Chen Xinyu in person, even if she sent her generals who could command more than 30,000 people to this place, the effect would be very different.

The messenger scout in front of him hesitated for a moment, and then said in a very positive tone: "General, I have personally seen this commander of the army on a war horse wearing armor, he must be a man, and judging by his appearance and movements, he should be a relatively high-ranking general. ”

As long as it wasn't for the arrival of Empress Chen Xinyu in person, in fact, the impact on them would not be very great. So, Li Fu instructed his own soldiers to take the messenger scout down and reward him with twenty taels of silver. The scout went down with great gratitude.

At this time, Qian Rong stepped forward and leaned into Li Fu's ear and said: "Now that we have held the road that they may march in the direction of Qicheng in Thorn City, it is equivalent to saying that if they want to march into the country, there will be very few directions to choose, and even the location of their forced camp may not be very good. If, at some point, the departing army does not resist the temptation to attack through the city, this is the opportunity we are looking forward to. ”

Li Fu nodded, what Qian Rong said now was very much in line with his heart, if it really didn't work, they would even launch an attack on the departing army. The only way to communicate between the two countries is to make interests and fists, and the rest can only be regarded as cheap strategies. In some ways it doesn't work.

Thinking of this, Li Fu directly turned around and shouted loudly to the two guards behind him: "Immediately pass on my order, order Lin Zhong and all the scattered Qi troops around him to retreat immediately, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes!" The two guards received the news, and immediately turned around and rushed out of the Chinese army's tent. Li Fu now felt that he didn't need to be under as much pressure as before, and before this decisive battle began, he wanted to let himself rest for two days to relax and relax his tired body

The army had arrived on the outskirts of Checheng half a day earlier, and their commander was none other than Wang Yan, the confidant of Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde, because Wang Yan's army was originally stationed near Xicheng, and there were many difficulties and the support of the people along the way, which also made them delay for a while on the way. By the time Wang Yan himself led all the troops to the outside of the city, he had already heard that the Qi army had already arranged various spies and waited for the situation to become clear. As soon as his own army arrived, the outpost army of Qi that was originally stationed here immediately retreated. So now, the idea of the Qi army is now very clear, which is to use this opportunity to seek greater benefits.

But even if he knew what the Qi army was planning now, Wang Yan was still a little helpless now, maybe the Qi army could delay time at this time, they had time, but the army they left the country now did not have this time. The army of Qi is now in a very advantageous environment, if it is really not possible, they can directly withdraw their troops from this place at any time, in short, they will not stop all their army strength on the interests of this city.

Although the overall strategic value and strategic position of Checheng are much higher than ordinary cities such as Qicheng, after all, the Qi army has now occupied enough interests, and has put forward a series of local ordinances to stabilize the people, so that the people can support the Qi State in the fastest time. It can be said that even if the Qi army leaves here now, it will be able to retreat with long-term benefits when it returns. After that, they had to send troops to assist the Qi State in attacking the feudal country together according to the preamble. At this point, the situation in front of you will become very serious.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan's mood became very helpless, and now there is not much time, although Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde is still staying in the sunset city to rectify the army in the rear, but this does not mean that she cannot control the situation in front of her. Chen Xinyu secretly gave an order to Wang Yan, no matter what, even if he did not hesitate to start a war with the Qi State, he would hold the city certificate in their own hands. Because in the current situation, although the army of the country has also occupied Xicheng and taken back several originally neutral county towns around the Weiku Plain, this is also a thing that cannot be compared with the interests that the country is now intercepting.

Such an order is tantamount to exerting strong pressure on Wang Yan, and Wang Yan now knows that in the current situation, the army that Wang Yan has in his hands is only 30,000 troops. They are no longer able to easily launch an assault on the city. The news that Wang Yan knows now is that almost all of the imperial Chen family's troops have been withdrawn to Checheng to garrison. The number of troops in the entire city has exceeded 40,000, and the Qi army on the other side is also eyeing this, no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Yan to directly launch an attack on the city.

But even so, Wang Yan still felt the strong pressure on his shoulders from all forces, and since he set up camp here today, he has been thinking back and forth in his Chinese army tent about the solution to this huge problem that has been bothering him for a long time. But he is really unfamiliar with life now, and everything is not familiar to him when he first arrives.

At this moment, a guard of Wang Yan walked in at the door of the big tent of the Chinese army, and this guard walked quickly to Wang Yan's side, who was pacing back and forth, and said in a low voice: "General, a woman came outside the tent, saying that she asked to see the general............ Listening to her tone, she seems to be an old friend of Her Majesty Empress Sidley.................."
