Chapter 536 - Counting is Counting

"Although Li You is good at fighting, General Yaluhan and General Wulie are not mediocre generals, and my Dayuan army is far superior to Li You, so don't worry about this battle. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yuan Zhang finally spoke, and his words were full of trust in Yaluhan and Wulie.

"But the first battle between the two generals and Li You was defeated." Cui Bogui consciously caught a glimmer of light, and couldn't wait to say, "After getting the news, a few days ago, General Yaluhan, General Wu Lie and Li You met with Daozuo, and the two sides immediately started fighting, General Wu Lie led three thousand elite cavalry to charge the battle, but was defeated by Qin Shixin, only a thousand of the three thousand elite cavalry returned to the formation, and Qin Shixin's men suffered less than two hundred casualties. After saying that, he stared at Yuan Zhang's face with great courage, as if he wanted to see a trace of panic in it.

However, he was destined to be disappointed, since he could get the news here, how could Yuan Zhang not know? I saw Yuan Zhang shaking his head disapprovingly and said, "The battlefield battle is changing rapidly, and occasional small setbacks are not a big deal, so although Li You won the battle by luck, he was also blocked by the two generals on the way north, and when I capture Henan Road, I will win a big victory on both sides." ”

Hearing Yuan Zhang say that he was going to capture Henan Province, Cui Bogui felt a pang in his heart, judging from the situation he watched the defenders in the city and the Yuan army outside the city today, he didn't think that these cities could stop Yuan Zhang's 100,000 army; Thinking of such a powerful army losing in Gyeonggi Province, Choi Bokyu felt unacceptable, and he could only comfort himself that the Northern Yuan had put the main force in Henan Province, and the ones that Li You faced were just miscellaneous soldiers of the Northern Yuan. As for the fact that Li You's army was far superior to the Yuan army, he didn't think about it at all, he couldn't imagine that there was a more powerful army in this world than what he had just seen.

"The army of the North is truly unparalleled in the world." Cui Bogui praised sincerely, since he saw this scene, he has strengthened his determination to lead the troubles to the east, "But if the National Teacher wants to capture Henan Province, I'm afraid it will take some time, right?" I just don't know if General Yaluhan and General Ulie will be able to hold out until this time? ”

Yuan Zhang stood up, pointed to the outside of the tent and said, "I have 100,000 elites under my command, and I haven't used all my strength in the past two days, but I will personally command the army to attack the city early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely be able to take this city by then, if Lord Cui doesn't want to live and die with the city, it is better to surrender like this, I will be able to guarantee the safety of Lord Cui and the Cui clan of Qinghe." ”

Hearing Yuan Zhang reveal his identity, Cui Bogui was taken aback, but the conditions offered by the other party did make him a little moved, if he could keep the glory and wealth of the Qinghe Cui family, then it didn't seem to make much difference whether he was to serve King Qi as the emperor or Arubu as the emperor; But when he thought of the scenery of his family now holding power in the small court of King Qi, Cui Bogui hesitated again, even if he took refuge in the Northern Yuan Dynasty now, I am afraid that he will not have the power he has now, if the matter does not reach the point of no return, it is better to wait and see, Cui Bogui still understands the truth of being the head of the chicken rather than the queen of the ox.

"Thank you for the importance of the national teacher, it's just that I, the Qinghe Cui family, have been reused by the imperial court, and I will never be able to do such an ungrateful thing." Cui Bogui said righteously, "Although the National Teacher has an army of 100,000, I also have 230,000 elites in Henan Province, and although the wilderness wave battle cannot be compared with the Northern Cavalry of the National Teacher, it is more than enough to defend the city. ”

Seeing that Yuan Zhang still looked unimpressed, Cui Bogui gritted his teeth and threw out a killer move, "I'm afraid the national teacher doesn't know yet, right?" Now the king of Shu has sent 30,000 elites to hide at the junction of Shannan Dongdao and Gyeonggi Province, just waiting for the time to come out of it and take the capital directly; Now that the soldiers and horses of the capital and Gyeonggi Province have been taken by General Yaluhan and General Wulie to block Li You, if the army of King Shu attacks the capital, Xu Shiyong can still hold it? ”

Yuan Zhang seemed to change color slightly when he heard the news, Cui Bogui felt that he had hit his vital point, and hurriedly continued, "If the capital is occupied by the King of Shu, the soldiers and horses under General Yaluhan and General Wulie will be cut off from food and grass, if so, how long can they hold on?" When the time comes, the army of the King of Shu and Li You will be attacked from both sides, and these 80,000 elites will probably be lost. ”

"If it weren't for the difficulty and danger of Shu Road, I would have taken Shannan Dongdao a long time ago, the King of Shu is cowardly, and the army under his command is still insufficient to defend the city, so how can he take the capital?" Yuan Zhang still seemed unmoved.

But Cui Bogui thought that he was a strong introvert, and he felt that the time had come to even release the news at the bottom of the box, "General Yaluhan's future is worrying, and the grain road of the National Teacher is not very peaceful, if the National Teacher is bent on attacking Henan Province, then we have to do everything we can to deal with the National Teacher." Although he has not yet reached an agreement with the King of Yue, Yuan Zhang does not know it, and it is barely enough to take it out to scare and scare people.

Hearing this, Yuan Zhang seemed to have finally lost his patience, and he interrupted Cui Bogui's tirade, "Okay, if you say these words again, you should go back to the city, my national division is busy with government affairs, and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, let's talk about it, what's the matter with your trip?" ”

"The King of Qi is willing to get out of the way of Xiangzhou City in front of him and Xuzhou City in Dugi Province to make way for the National Teacher to advance westward and attack Li You's army." Cui Bogui quickly spit out his conditions, "I just ask the National Teacher to suspend the attack on Henan Province." ”

"Haha." Yuan Zhang laughed loudly, he didn't know what to say about these people, now it is clear that he is the most fatal enemy of King Qi, but these people do not want to resist, but try to lead the disaster to Li You, of course, they did not wait for the two to lose and then the idea of profiting, but if they want to do this, they must have the strength, whether it is him or Li You will not let go of King Qi after the end of this battle, and when that time comes, what will they use to resist the next attack?

Since the other party revealed his true thoughts, Yuan Zhang did not reject the idea that he could take the land of Liangzhou without a fight, so he temporarily stopped the attack on Xiangzhou City and began negotiations with Cui Bogui.

A few days later, the two sides finally reached an agreement, the king of Qi made way for Yuan Zhang to advance westward, and Yuan Zhang promised not to attack Henan Dao, and then the defenders in Xiangzhou City slowly retreated, the city gate was wide open, and Yuan Zhang led his men and horses through Xiangzhou City and turned west.

"Master Kunshi, are you really going to Gyeonggi-do?" Yuwen Yisheng asked.

"Even if Yaluhan and Wu Lie can't win against Li You, it's still no problem to stop him, and the army of the King of Shu definitely doesn't have the courage to attack the capital when the victory or defeat is not scored." Yuan Zhang turned his gaze to the east, "Now that Xiangzhou City has fallen into our hands, the gate of Henan Province has opened to us, why should I rush to Gyeonggi Province." (To be continued.) )
