Chapter 967: The Beginning of the Fall of Youzhou [1 Update]

Liu Bowen's eyes flashed with a glint and said: "Yes, Lord Steward was able to subdue the Song Valve in the south, and even deter the Demon Gate in such a short period of time, and dominate the entire land south of the Yangtze River. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It seems that people like Liu Bowen and Li Ruohai are extremely resourceful, how can they not see the impact of Fang Xiaoyu's unification of the south on the general trend of the world.

If Fang Xiaoyu only unified the south, at most, it would make the northern heroes feel a great sense of urgency, and it would prompt the north to complete the reunification in the shortest possible time, and during this period, it would not be so easy to enter the north from the south.

But Fang Xiaoyu is different, Fang Xiaoyu is not only unifying the south, but more importantly, in the north, Fang Xiaoyu occupies the land of one state and one state, so that the north and the south echo, which is also the reason why Li Valve, Li Mi and others dare not sit idly by.

If they really sit back and watch Fang Xiaoyu's power grow, then what kind of world are they fighting for, just prepare to surrender early, and they can save their lives anyway.

The entire Youzhou entered a state of high alert after Liu Bowen and Li Ruohai came up with their opinions, and even after Liu Bowen and Li Ruohai discussed, they directly made the decision to recruit again.

Conscription can be a big or small thing, but in any case, it must be approved by Fang Xiaoyu, but they can't contact Fang Xiaoyu for a while, so the two of them make their own decisions, recruit soldiers first, and wait for Fang Xiaoyu to return, and then ask Fang Xiaoyu for guilt.

Recruit 100,000 troops again, plus the 50,000 troops who originally stayed to garrison Youzhou, there are almost 150,000 horses in the entire Youzhou.

With 150,000 military horses in hand, Liu Bowen and Li Ruohai are just a little relieved, and the two of them also know very well in their hearts that unless Fang Xiaoyu or Long'er returns, otherwise, in the face of the strong people of the broken level, these people will not play much role at all.

But knowing this, the two of them also had to fight, they couldn't sit there and wait for death, there was still a glimmer of hope if they fought hard, and if they didn't fight, there would really be no hope.

On the big ship, Fang Xiaoyu looked at the news about the north and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Liu Bowen really didn't disappoint me!" ”

Whether it is Song Que or Shi Zhixuan, they naturally understand that Fang Xiaoyu said this because Liu Bowen advocated conscription, in their opinion, although Liu Bowen's move was a bit excessive, but it has to be said that Liu Bowen is not an idle person to be able to make such a decision in this critical situation.

What made Fang Xiaoyu curious was the appearance of Li Ruohai, what Fang Xiaoyu didn't expect was that such a figure with broken potential would appear in the Zhenbei Army.

Looking at the introduction of Li Ruohai in the intelligence, although it is not much, it is also pointed out that Li Ruohai is a dragon who was discovered from the Zhenbei Army.

Song Que looked at the introduction of Li Ruohai and said with a smile: "There are these great sages under the command of adults, but it is enough to hold out until we rush to Youzhou." ”

Li Ruohai has a strength no less than Shi Zhixuan, and he may not be the opponent of the Broken Strong, but he still has the ability to delay time.

With the footsteps of their group, they will be able to reach Youzhou in three days at most, and no matter what the crisis of the situation is, even if Youzhou falls, I believe that Fang Xiaoyu's strength will be enough to turn things around.

Of course, the premise is that Liu Bowen and Li Ruohai can keep the Zhenbei Army, instead of fighting to annihilate the whole army.

After all, Fang Xiaoyu and Song Que can suppress the coalition army at that time, and even counterattack the coalition army, but the war can not be maintained by relying on strong men like them, they can take down cities one after another, but there are no soldiers and horses to occupy, they are also lacking in skills, so they can't fight and then leave it alone.

Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu's expectation for Liu Bowen and Li Ruohai is to retreat step by step and drag the coalition army to preserve the strength of the Zhenbei Army as much as possible.

The momentum of the coalition army is like a rainbow, and the total number of the three coalition forces is as much as 150,000, especially the two broken level powerhouses are in charge, it can be said that no matter which side is full of confidence in this battle.

If Fang Xiaoyu or any of the two of Mrs. Long'er were in Youzhou, they would not be so optimistic, the key is that Fang Xiaoyu is far away in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, and Mrs. Long'er's expedition to the grassland is the time when Youzhou's strength is the most empty.

It can even be said that in the eyes of Dou Jiande, Li Shimin and others, it is simply a big fuss for them to come here so much.

But even if they thought so in their hearts, they still put on such a formation, in order to protect everything, directly crush Youzhou with ten percent of their strength, and uproot the foundation of the Zhenbei Army in Youzhou in one fell swoop.

The army traveled, and the flag covered the sun, but the speed of the army was not very fast.

In the big tent, Li Shimin, Dou Jiande, Shen Luoyan and others gathered together to listen to the reports of several generals.

One of the generals below said: "Several commanders, the Zhenbei army is too cunning, and it harasses and attacks from time to time during our march, resulting in a great reduction in the speed of the march, and if we continue at this speed, it will be at least two days later than the time we are scheduled to attack Youzhou." ”

It turned out that after Liu Bowen and Li Ruohai made a plan to delay time, they sent a series of raiding teams, and the task of these teams was not to fight hard with the coalition forces, but to drag the coalition forces as late as possible to make them enter Youzhou as late as possible.

waved his hand and motioned for these generals to go down, in the big tent, Li Shimin sat there, his eyes fell on Shen Luoyan and said: "Shen Junshi, you might as well talk about it, what is the intention of the Zhenbei Army's move?" ”

Shen Luoyan glanced up at Li Shimin and said, "The second son knows it, why do you need to ask Luoyan?" ”

Dou Jiande glanced at the two of them a little crookedly and said: "Okay, Liu Bowen, they want to hold us back, let's talk about it, what should we do, if the time is really long, if either Fang Xiaoyu or Mrs. Long'er returns to Youzhou in time, it will not be so easy for us to take Youzhou again." ”

Li Shimin sneered and said: "Even if Fang Xiaoyu returns to Youzhou, what can I do, Dou Dashuai don't forget, there are two broken powerhouses on our side, and when the time comes, we will simply kill Fang Xiaoyu to prevent future troubles." ”

Dou Jiande's face was a little ugly, whether it was Wagang or Li Valve, there were broken strong people in charge, but only on his side there were broken strong people in charge, which made his voice in the coalition army suppressed a lot.

If it weren't for the fact that the territory he occupied bordered Youzhou, once Youzhou sent troops south, Hebei would bear the brunt, and he would definitely not run over to be angry.

However, Dou Jiande glanced at Li Shimin contemptuously and said: "Second son, don't forget, Meng Yuan dispatched Meng Chixing and Eight Shiba two broken powerhouses before, but what is the result?" ”

Li Shimin was choked for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he said: "That can only be said that Meng Chixing and Bashiba are not strong enough, if they are strong enough, how can they be so miserable." ”

Shen Luoyan frowned, the tripartite alliance naturally had their own thoughts and their own plans, if it weren't for Fang Xiaoyu's too much pressure on them, the three parties would have killed themselves a long time ago, how could they send troops together.

It's just that at the moment of the big enemy, Li Shiming and Dou Jiande are still fighting openly and secretly, which makes Shen Luoyan secretly worried about whether this time will go well.

With a light cough, Shen Luoyan spoke: "Two, the big thing is important, and the most important thing at the moment is to pull out the Zhenbei Army in the shortest possible time and solve our big trouble." ”

Dou Jiande snorted coldly, and suddenly got up and said: "A certain family brought its own soldiers and horses to strangle those Zhenbei troops. ”

Saying that Dou Jiande left, he was obviously preparing to lead the army to strangle the harassing men and horses sent by the Zhenbei Army as he said.

Not only Dou Jiande, but Shen Luoyan and Li Shimin each sent out a group of men and horses to protect the army.

As a result, the speed of the march of the army increased suddenly, but the fighting between the teams sent by the two sides was also very fierce, and there were reports of battles large and small almost every day.

Finally, two days passed, and in the middle of the army, several people rode on tall horses and looked at the city in front of them.

This city is the entrance to Youzhou, and after crossing the city in front of you, you will enter the boundary of Youzhou. At this time, there were flags on the city, the city gate was closed, and a thousand northern troops were guarding the city nervously.

Even on weekdays, such a city would have to put down at least three or five thousand troops and horses to defend it, but at this time, a thousand troops were arranged.

The general guarding the city stood on top of the tall building and looked down, looking at the black and oppressive army, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Li Shimin drove forward and said to the general above the city tower: "General Mo, you are just the abandoned son of the Zhenbei army, since the Zhenbei army has abandoned you, why don't you obey the will of heaven and surrender the city, I, Li Shimin, can guarantee here, as long as you are willing to surrender, you will never be hurt." ”

That General Mo leaned out and looked at Li Shimin and said, "I have admired the name of the second son of Li Valve for a long time, can you allow Mo to think about it and give the second son an answer in the evening?" ”

Li Shimin's face showed a little joy when he heard this, he looked at the sky and nodded slightly: "That is the case, the people of the world are waiting for the news of General Mo, and I hope that General Mo can make the right choice and not let the people of the world down." ”

After the horse turned around, Li Shimin returned to the army, Shen Luoyan and Dou Jiande looked at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin told the two of them about the situation.

Dou Jiande couldn't help but shouted: "What to think about, he is obviously delaying time, if you want me to say, directly ask Ziyang Zhenren or Qinglian Sword Immortal to make a move, and you can take this city with tea and kung fu, why waste time here." ”

Li Shimin frowned and said: "That is to say, but if such a city is attacked one by one, it will also take a lot of time, if we can persuade these generals of the Zhenbei Army, as long as our troops are in the city, these Zhenbei troops will all surrender, wouldn't it also save a lot of time?" ”

Hearing Li Shimin say this, although Dou Jiande was a little dissatisfied, he had to admit that Li Shimin's consideration was very reasonable, they couldn't fight one city at a time.

With a cold snort, Dou Jiande said: "Since this is the case, this city will be handed over to the second son to deal with you, and Dou will wait for the result." ”

Shen Luoyan didn't say anything, just said to Li Shimin: "The second son can grasp the priorities by himself." ”

In the evening, Li Shimin appeared under the city again and called out General Mo Li: "General Mo, I don't know what the general is thinking about?" Shimin is very sincere, even if General Mo doesn't think about himself, he has to think about his brothers. ”

Mo Li leaned out and looked at Li Shimin and said: "Second son, Mo Li has surrendered, and please ask the second son to give Mo Li a little time, and after an hour, Mo Li will open the city gate and welcome the second son into the city." ”

Hearing that Mo Li was willing to surrender, Li Shimin was happy, but the other party had to wait until an hour later to open the city gate, which made Li Shimin a little unhappy.

However, after thinking about it, Li Shimin nodded at Mo Li and said: "Shimin agreed, after an hour, I hope General Mo Li will not disappoint Li." ”

An hour later, the city gate rumbled open, Li Shimin and others accepted Mo Li's surrender, and the army slowly entered the city, but at this time the sky was already dark.

According to the plan, they should have taken this city a long time ago, and they may have appeared under another city by this time. As a result, because Li Shimin recruited the guards, he was dragged until nightfall.

It is taboo to march at night, even if there are broken and strong people in the army, but Li Shimin and others do not dare to march at night.

In case of an ambush at that time, the army will fall into chaos, and the broken strong will not be able to solve the trouble.

So the army stayed in the city for the night, and the next morning it marched straight to the next city.

In the next two days, the coalition army did not engage in a single battle, and even took ten cities, accounting for almost one-third of the large and small cities in Youzhou.

This record is not brilliant, but in the big tent, Shen Luoyan and Dou Jiande are staring at Li Shimin, and they can only hear Dou Jiande say to Li Shimin: "Li Shimin, what do you mean, can't you see that the other party is delaying our marching speed, if you persuade the cities like you to surrender, in the end, I am afraid that we have not taken Youzhou City, and the Zhenbei army on the grassland has already returned." ”

Li Shimin took a deep breath, raised his head and stared at Dou Jiande, shook his head slightly, and said, "General Dou, I can be sure that Mrs. Long'er is chasing and killing Temujin's army on the prairie at this moment, and it is impossible to rush back to Youzhou within at least ten days and half a month." ”

Shen Luoyan's eyes couldn't help narrowing when he heard this, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Oh, it seems that the relationship between Li Valve and Meng Yuan is not simple, and he can even know the news on the grassland well." ”
