Chapter 390: The Calm Before the Storm (4)

The people of Nanwu felt that they had made a huge mistake.

As time passed, in the blink of an eye, it was already deep winter, approaching the New Year.

The power of the Northern Tang Dynasty did not gradually cease because of Li Zenan's surrender and the rule of Southern Wu, or even completely stopped.

On the contrary, it is getting more and more intense, but it is not a huge threat.

But there is a certain threat to Chang'an City, just like those times when the Southern Wu people desperately wanted to take back Jinling.

Jin An has been out of Chang'an City for a month and a half, and he commands the army to defeat those Northern Tang forces one after another, but those guys are like locusts, everywhere, although not strong enough, but it is annoying.

He led the attack on the big forces that were a bit famous, and those small forces were naturally left to the local garrison troops to deal with by themselves, while the King of Wei, the King of Qi and others had already suffered three or four defeats in his hands, but they were smeared with oil on the soles of their feet, and they ran fast, and they were able to run away every time, and then they made a comeback, and began to wander away with a group of rabble, which was annoying.

He focused on those who held the flag high and were particularly arrogant, but perhaps he was exhausted and became confused, and he forgot - sometimes, the most terrible thing is not the paper tiger, but the person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

Gao Lin and Li Qianrong are such people.

Jin An will definitely regret it in the future, with the mentality of wanting to use Li Qianrong at that time, and did not take advantage of future troubles.

Half a month before Chinese New Year's Eve, King Wei and others were menacing again.

As soon as Jin An arranged the matters, he decided to go to meet the battle.

The army drove out of a hundred miles, and he once again saw the army of King Wei and others.

Li Chengqing, the king of Wei, had nearly 20,000 horses in his northeast, which was the largest number of troops in this group of rioters.

Li Dejiang, the king of Qi, in his west, is probably less than 10,000 people, that guy originally had 30,000 horses, although they are all some miscellaneous cards, without discipline and combat effectiveness, but they are also real, but the last rout, until now has not slowed down.

There are also scattered a few people scattered all over the place, although it seems to be relatively wide, but it is not a cause for concern.

In fact, Jin An has never paid much attention to those people.

Whether it is the King of Wei or the King of Qi, there is no eloquence, compared to Li Zenan and Li Xianyue, it is simply a heaven and an underground, but because of greed, as well as the instigation of his subordinates, plus running fast again and again, he has a fluke mentality, thinking that Jin An can't do anything with them at all.

So that group of people, from the top leader, to the bottom of the soldiers who have no courage and combat effectiveness, all have empty momentum, but they are about to collapse at the touch of a button, they are a real rabble, but there are too many things in the Northern Tang Dynasty now, which makes Jin An anxious, and Jin An in front of him didn't bother to clean them up in person, but now he made a decision, because mosquitoes always bite you, although it doesn't hurt, but it's very itchy, and it's so itchy that it makes people angry.

He only brought fifteen thousand soldiers and horses, and the others were scattered everywhere, and it was impossible for him to gather them together.

This may have given the likes of Wei and Qi the wrong signal that this was a wonderful opportunity to defeat Jin An.

Bullying less with more will give confidence to those who do not have the guts to do so.

Although those Northern Tang troops were afraid of each other, because they had their own careful thoughts, at least at this moment, they had a common goal, and the total strength of their troops was more than three times that of Jin'an.

Jin An likes their self-righteous and despised posture.

He deliberately chose a defensive posture and stood still there.

It seems that he is very jealous of those Northern Tang people, and he is also very patient.

Whether he was patient or anxious to die, in fact, only he knows.

But King Wei and other turtles didn't see it that way, they thought that Jin An saw that his people were menacing, and put on a posture of going to a decisive battle, and the number of people was more than three times that of the other party, so they were afraid, but it was not good to run away directly, so they put on a defensive posture, and immediately the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

"The thief in Jin'an is not afraid, he is afraid when he sees our soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathering now, and when our army joins forces, it will definitely collapse!" The mighty and majestic King of Wei, dressed in military uniform, raised his arms and shouted before the army started, and the sound was like a bell, shaking the four fields.

His shouting can be said to be full of momentum, coupled with the influence of the instilled immortal eternal life in the Northern Tang Dynasty, all the soldiers were in high spirits and surging, as if they saw the great picture of Jin An being beaten to ashes by them.

According to this mentality, after the King of Wei and the King of Qi and others notified each other, they agreed to march towards Jin'an together.

It's just that they don't know that all the exchanges between them have been intercepted by the Southern Wu Secret Mansion, and they are completely exposed to the sun.

Fortunately, there are still some strategists and generals with some ability among them, who have determined the attack strategy, mainly flanking and pinching the head and tail at Jin An.

……

……

Five days later, the scouts came to report that they had discovered the traces of the Northern Tang army.

As always, Jin An drinks tea and shakes folding fans every day.

Of course, if all the soldiers below him were like this, maybe King Wei and others would still have a chance to win, because the so-called arrogant soldiers would be defeated, but the military discipline below him was serious, and he was ready for battle, and he did not despise King Wei's attack on those dirt buns.

King Wei is burly, tall and big, but he really has a military demeanor, but those who know know that he is far worse than Li Xianyue.

Their men and horses were dense and imposing, coming from the distant sky, a large area of black oppression.

Li Chengqing, the king of Wei, sat on the back of a war horse and looked at Jin An's side from a distance.

Jin An still didn't seem to have the intention of taking the initiative, and set up a tight line, which was a defensive posture.

The veteran beside him looked at Jin An, frowned, and warned Li Chengqing: "Jin An is well defended, it is not appropriate to attack rashly, we need to wait and see." ”

In any case, Jin An was the one who defeated General Weiyuan, and Shi Junyi was even more vulnerable in front of the other party, only Xue Zhao fought steadily, and let Jin An escape like a rabbit at that time.

Although Li Chengqing didn't understand the art of war, he was not reckless, he nodded in agreement, but asked a little anxiously: "Then what if Jin An just doesn't take the initiative to attack?" ”

His concerns are reasonable, you must know that it is Jin'an who controls their Northern Tang land now, not him Li Chengqing, Li Zenan surrendered, Southern Wu has the initiative, and the Southern Wu people may be able to drag, but his group of rabble does not dare to delay, and only wants to fight quickly when Jin'an only has so many soldiers and horses.
