As soon as the morning dawned, Qi Shuo held a swearing-in meeting, and named Zhanliang as the commander of the three armies, and appointed me as the marching staff officer and the commander-in-chief of the forward battalion. Feng Longfeng is the commander of the forward battalion. Grandma is a bear, this is a bit like the rhythm of sending Long Fengyun and me to death.

I led 10,000 forward troops to march day and night, and soon arrived in the small town of Lijiang, where in a peach blossom forest by the Lijiang River, I ordered the troops to rest on the spot, eat and sleep well and prepare for battle.

In the Lido Soldiers and Horses Battalion, Lan Batian is reporting the military situation to Yingshuo: "Your Highness, the spies have reported that an army of 100,000 people in Yandu is approaching the south, and a 10,000-strong forward is one step ahead, and it is expected to arrive in two days." ”

If I knew it would have been sprayed on his face for two days? Lao Tzu arrived yesterday.

Ying Shuo looked serious: "I can't wait any longer, cross Lijiang early tomorrow morning and ambush him in the Shuize Forest in Lishui County, which is the only way for the enemy army, let's catch him off guard." ”

In the morning, as soon as the sky showed a glimmer of light, the scouts came with the news that there was an unusual movement on the other side of the Lijiang River, and I quickly gathered my troops and laid an ambush on the side of the Lijiang embankment.

After most of the people crossed the river, I gave the order to open fire, and the enemy troops immediately became chaotic, and some teams rushed forward with bullets, and were soon beaten back, because the place was narrow, the enemy troops trampled on each other, and there were countless casualties, and several troop carriers carrying generals wanted to retreat, and I carried bazookas, one cannon at a time, and the troop carriers were blown up and torn apart.

When the enemy general saw that the back road was cut off, he shouted: "Brothers, there is no way to retreat, fight with them, rush!" ”

Long Feng and I threw out the few grenades we had, and the charging soldiers cried and retreated.

On the other side of Lijiang, Ying Shuo was furious: "I've been tricked, what should those assassins do?" Isn't it clear that so many enemy troops are in front of you? ”

Lan Batian looked helpless, if the 50,000 elites were annihilated, the prince's plan would probably fail, this was not the worst result, if the enemy army crossed Lijiang and pursued all the way, it was not certain whether he could save his life.

Thinking of this, Lan Batian said: "Your Highness, now is not the time to hold you accountable, you should immediately deploy troops to guard the banks of Lijiang and prevent the other party from crossing the river."

Yingshuo's face was full of disappointment, and he sighed: "Alas! The order was given, and everyone was armed for battle, holding on to the embankment, and must not take half a step back. ”

The water in Lijiang was already red, many of Yingshuo's soldiers were washed away by the current, some were injured, some died, and some accidentally fell into the water, an hour later, there were soldiers who surrendered one after another, and I ordered to collect their weapons and take strict care of them, waiting for the arrival of the main force to deal with them.

Near noon, the surrendered soldiers have reached 10,000 people, the rear troops have slowly arrived, all the prisoners are concentrated and reorganized, and then carry out ideological education, lobbying middle-level cadres to be loyal to the new emperor, some people see that the four princes have gone, naturally have new ideas, and finally most of the soldiers have chosen to submit, after all, it is a country's civil war, there is no charge of treason and betrayal, brothers are just fighting, of course, who is powerful with whom.

A few days later, Qi Shuo personally went to the front line and rewarded us, and even Long Feng became a third-grade general.

At the command of the Chinese army, Qi Shuo was in the first place and said: "Everyone, Yingshuo has lost most of his troops, and it is already difficult to do anything more, when you take this opportunity to cross Lijiang and completely wipe him out, do you have any opinions?" ”

Zhan Liang said: "Yingshuo's 50,000 soldiers and horses are firmly guarding the coast of Lijiang, even if we have twice the troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the defense line, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Qi Shuo made a blank face: "I... Oh, this king will ascend the throne next month, if the north and the south cannot be unified, where will this king's face go? You hurry up and find a way for this king, if you can't do it, get out immediately. ”

Zhan Liang's face is green, how can this become Lao Tzu's business alone? Still me? If he really became an emperor, wouldn't he cut off his head immediately?

I hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is angry, it is not impossible to break through the opponent's defense, but the price may be a bit big." ”

Qi Shuo heard me call him Your Majesty, and his face smiled into a flower: "Mochizuki, as long as you can win Yingshuo, it is worth the price, although you say it clearly, you are not guilty." ”

I arched my hand: "Your Majesty, if you want to cross the river, the best way is to have a navy to fight, we don't have it, but Shuirou has a country!" Let's ask Chen Zhibing to lobby and let the Shuirou Empire send a few warships to assist, and we will definitely be able to annihilate Yingshuo in one fell swoop. ”

Qi Shuo immediately shook his head: "Impossible, how can the warship of the Shui Rou Kingdom help this king?" They still want to destroy my Flame Kingdom. ”

I continued: "So there is a price, the law of the Water Rou Kingdom prohibits aggressive wars, that is, for the sake of reputation, they will not invade in a full-scale manner, we can cede the north of the Five Elements Mountain to the Water Rou Kingdom, anyway, the north of the Five Elements Mountain is Linhai City, and if you don't give it to them, they will occupy it." The requirement is to let the Shuirou Empire help quell the civil war, of course, we will pay for the military expenses of the warships, and it is better to spend some money than to fight with human lives. ”

Qi Shuo shook his head again: "No, no, no, the land has been lost, and the people still don't scold the king to death." ”

I also said: "For the time being, if Your Majesty makes every effort to govern the country, and when you get Chen Zhibing's advanced technology, the military strength will make great strides, and when Your Majesty recovers the country, all the people will sing the praises of virtue." And with the Marble Mountains in the way, the border line is safer. ”

Qi Shuo thought for a long time before saying: "This is okay, I'll leave it to you, you go and arrange it immediately, let Zhan Liang help you, act faster." ”

In less than two days, Qi Shuo returned to Yandu, where could he stand the hot weather?
