According to the original plot, the battle between Wang Shichong and Li Mi, from the beginning to the real separation of the winner and the loser, will take about ten days to half a month. With-Dream- . com

Yu Wenhua only dared to send troops to Liangdu after Li Mi's defeat, if Li Mi was not defeated, he would not dare to cross the territory of the Wagang army and wave his army south.

Ten days is not long, but it is not short, it is enough to do a lot of things.

It was based on this that Long Tao decided to rush back to Jiangyin, preparing to formulate a battle plan for the Divine Sword Army and establish the foundation of the country in one fell swoop.

At this time, the name of benevolence and righteousness of the Divine Sword Army has spread, and he himself is also shining in Luoyang, he is in the limelight for a while, and he has enough prestige in the rivers and lakes, it is time to take action.

Long Tao unfolded his body with all his might, without stopping all the way, and finally came to Jiangyin City at dusk.

Most of the Xiaoguo troops of the Praetorian Guard Mansion were still stationed outside the city, but generals such as Sima Dejiao and Zhao Xingshu had already lived in the City Lord's Mansion in the city.

Long Tao walked into the city gate, and there were already soldiers guarding the city running back to say goodbye, and after a while, Sima Dejiao, Zhao Xingshu and other generals, as well as Xu Xingzhi, Yun Yuzhen, Xie Yujing, You Qiuyan, Bu Tianzhi, Chen Laomou and others, greeted them together.

Everyone blocked a main street and bowed in front of Long Tao.

"See the King!"

The sound shook the roof tiles, causing people in the shops on the street to come out and watch.

"You don't have to be polite." Long Tao took a step closer, looked at Xie Yujing and You Qiuyan, and said with a smile: "Seeing that Yujing and Qiuyan are full of spring breeze, it seems that the retreat plan of the Dajianghui and the Haisha Gang should be completed well." ”

Xie Yujing said with a smile: "There is a virtual army division planning and commanding, naturally it is foolproof!" Not only did we not lose a single warship, but we also made the pursuing Shen Faxing troops suffer a little! ”

"Void Division?"

Long Tao looked at Xu Xingzhi with a smile, he only arranged for Xu Xingzhi to come over to take charge of this matter, but he did not designate him as a military advisor.

Zhao Xingshu said: "The Void Army Division is strategizing, and every step of the plan is quite perfect, which can be described as a last resort!" ”

Long Tao couldn't help but feel relieved.

Void Xingzhi really did not disappoint him, not only successfully completed the task he handed over, but also established a certain prestige among the generals in a short period of time, even the wise Zhao Xingshu respected him so much, this person's talent is indeed extraordinary!

Yun Yuzhen said diligently: "As soon as Sister Yujing and Sister Qiuyan came, our warships immediately increased to more than three hundred, and with the sons and daughters who have been recruited and trained recently, we can already establish a fleet of sailors of more than 10,000 people!" ”

Chen Laomou added: "There are eighty-seven flying ships, and they are still under construction and replenishment, and soon our Divine Sword Army will be able to cross the rivers and seas!" ”

Sima Dejiao said: "With our military strength, we can teach Shen Faxing's pursuers a hard lesson, but the virtual army division said that it is not appropriate to clean him up at this time, so we will let them be arrogant in the waters of the big river outside Jiangyin first, and wait for the king to return to make a decision." ”

Long Tao looked at the void and said, "It's a good job!" Let's go back to the house and think slowly in the long run! ”

The group returned to the City Lord's Mansion and came to the conference hall.

Long Tao sat down in the main seat, and the row on the left was a group of Praetorian Guard generals led by Sima Dejiao, and on the right were the leaders of the three major gangs headed by Xuan Xingzhi.

"Let's talk about it first." Long Tao continued the topic just now.

Xu Xingzhi smiled calmly, and said calmly: "The king of Jiangyin is obviously determined to win Jiangdu, but with the current strength of our army, it is really not appropriate to storm the city and Li Zitong, not to mention that there are two coalition forces of Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing outside the city. Our army wants to take Jiangdu, the best way is to let Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing take the lead, the day the Jiangdu city is broken, the alliance between the two armies will inevitably break, and then we can take advantage of the situation to take it, therefore, Xing will feel that before the city is broken, it is not appropriate to fight with Shen Faxing for the time being. ”

Long Tao continued to ask: "How do you think our army should act now?" ”

Xuxingzhi said indifferently: "Evacuate Jiangyin." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they didn't understand why they wanted to evacuate Jiangyin, which had been stabilized, only Long Tao smiled and said nothing.

Sima Dejiao asked respectfully, "Please also ask Mr. Xu to solve your doubts." ”

Xuxing said unhurriedly: "At present, Du Fuwei leads 70,000 troops, and Shen Lun, the son of Shen Faxing, leads 50,000 troops, taking turns to storm Jiangdu, with Li Zitong 40,000 defenders, the city is only a matter of time, and his only retreat is to flee to the sea, unfortunately our Jiangyin is located in the lower reaches of Jiangdu, which just seals his retreat to the sea, so that Li Zitong suddenly becomes a trapped beast fight, when he feels that he can't hold on, it is very likely that Kaicheng will surrender, who do you think he is most likely to surrender to?" ”

Everyone couldn't help frowning and thinking about it, and without waiting for them to answer, after a slight pause, he continued: "Judging from the current situation, the strength of our Divine Sword Army is the weakest, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Zitong to surrender to us, because then he will continue to be besieged by both sides, for this reason, we need to give way to Li Zitong's retreat, so that he feels that there is still a chance to save his life and turn over, and he will not surrender easily, and he will not surrender easily, and he will cheapen either Du Fuwei or Shen Lun in vain." ”

Bu Tianzhi asked: "If we evacuate Jiangyin, how can we capture Jiangdu?" ”

The evacuation is naturally only temporary, we can divide it into two sides, the fleet of the sailors retreats to the sea, and after Li Zitong's defeated army flees to the sea, we will fight back to Jiangdu along the river, and the 30,000 Divine Sword Janissaries will go north by land, but they can lie to the outside world that they are going to capture Xiapi and even Pengcheng, Liangdu and other places, and when Du Fuwei and Shen Lun begin to fight for Jiangdu, we will take the opportunity to kill back and reap the benefits of the fishermen!" ”

Hearing this, everyone showed a sudden and sincere expression.

"Haha......" Long Tao said with a smile: "As the so-called heroes see the same, the plan is roughly the same as what I think in my heart, the slight difference is that we are not feints to capture Pi, but to really occupy the land in the north." ”

Zhao Xingshu frowned and said: "After all, our troops are limited, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of them." ”

Long Tao said with a smile: "General Zhao has this concern, just because you don't know the situation over there, I just came back from the north, Liangdu and Pengcheng are actually ownerless cities, I have subdued Peng Lianghui, and I am secretly preparing to control these two cities, as for Xiapi, now in the hands of the Llama Gang, I also have Zhou Xiang's plan to deal with them, and I don't need to use a single soldier here." ”

Bu Tianzhi said movingly: "It turns out that the king has already arranged it!" ”

Long Tao glanced at him, nodded and said: "We not only have to take Liangdu, Pengcheng, and Xiapi, but also capture Li Zitong's hometown of the East China Sea in one fell swoop. As for the capture of Jiangdu, it will be all handed over to the Praetorian Guard, after this battle, from Jiangdu north to Liangdu, canal east to the sea, this large piece of land will be owned by our Divine Sword Army! ”

Hearing this, even Xuan Xingzhi was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and said: "King, with our total strength of about 50,000, it is really not appropriate to expand too fast. ”

Long Tao raised his hand and pressed it weakly, motioned for him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Li Mi will not be afraid after losing to Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong will have to clean up the mess when the time comes, and he will not be able to go south for a while, when I only need to have thousands of elite soldiers to guard Liangdu, I can keep Pengcheng, Xiapi and other places safe and sound, and this matter does not need to be responsible for the Praetorian Guard, as long as the 30,000 Praetorian Guards take the Jiangdu and hold it steadily." ”

Xu Xingzhi frowned and said: "The king seems to be convinced that Li Mi will be defeated, and as far as Xingzhi knows, Li Mi is proficient in the art of war, and he has not tasted defeat since his debut." ”

Long Tao smiled lightly: "Don't worry, with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to help Wang Shichong, Li Mi will definitely lose this time!" ”

After all, those two boys still have a powerful protagonist aura until this moment.

Seeing that he looked confident, his hands were long bearded, his eyes were shining, and he asked in a deep voice: "Has the king rebelled against some of the Wagang generals and is ready to let them guard Liangdu?" ”

Long Tao laughed and said: "Xingzhi is simply the reincarnation of Wuhou, and I can guess a rough idea based on just a few words from me, haha...... You guess, even if you don't win, it's not far off! ”

When everyone heard this, they knew that he had already prepared everything, and they were all surprised and delighted, and at the same time they admired Long Tao's unpredictable methods.

The vain line said: "The king praises falsely, and he is ashamed to be ashamed!" Now that the king has a detailed plan, we will leave it to the king's orders. ”

Long Tao said with a smile: "It is not difficult to capture the East China Sea, even if the defenders are not fooled to open the city gate, I will block its land transportation at that time, and we can take it in one fell swoop." ”

After a pause, Zhengse said: "It is not easy to take Jiangdu, no matter who breaks through Jiangdu first, after Li Zitong withdraws, Du Fuwei and Shen Lun will definitely fight on the spot in order to fight for this stronghold in the north, and the time for us to launch must be just right, to defeat them in one fell swoop, so accurate intelligence will become crucial, we can ask Zhuhua to help, they have deep roots in Jiangdu, and can be our best spies or even internal responses." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Long Tao immediately arranged: "Bu Tianzhi is fully responsible for the capture of the East China Sea, Yuzhen, Yujing, Qiuyan, you lead the gang to assist." ”

Several people got up together to receive the order.

Long Tao said again: "Jiangdu's side is handed over to Xingzhi to be fully responsible, and all the soldiers and generals of the Praetorian Guard Mansion are all at his disposal!" ”

Sima Dejiao, Zhao Xingshu and other generals stood up together, bowed down and said, "The last general will take orders!" ”

"Just let it go!" Long Tao looked at the void again.

Xuxingzhi got up and said solemnly: "One of the lines will definitely live up to the king's trust!" ”

Long Tao smiled as a sign of encouragement, but he thought in his heart that if he could make great achievements in occupying Jiangdu, and promote him to important positions in the future, no one would have objections.

The generals began to get busy that night, the Praetorian Guards reorganized their arms for battle, and Bu Tianzhi, Chen Laomou and other naval leaders began to lead people to rush to make Li Zitong's banners and military uniforms, preparing to be used by the defeated army after evacuating Jiangyin.

Long Tao accompanied Yun Yuzhen, Xie Yujing, and You Qiuyan for one night in the City Lord's Mansion, and the next morning, he hurried back to Liangdu.
