Without further ado, after the generals quickly gathered in the tent, Li Jinquan immediately indicated that he wanted to send elite troops out of the city to attack the Tang army camp.

In recent days, the generals have been ordered to stick to the city, and they have seen the Tang army coming and going freely outside the city day and night, and they seem to be aggrieved in their hearts.

When the crowd was excited, Li Jinquan was silent, but he thought about it repeatedly in his heart.

Now that the enemy and us are in a state of stalemate, it is obviously unrealistic to send troops to destroy the Tang army in one fell swoop, and the only goal is only to burn the trebuchet and wood, but the current commanders of the Tang army, Li Yuan and Liu Renzhan, how could they not guess the opponent's mind? The dignified Tang State famous general will not even neglect the defense of the battalion! Even if you try your best and get lucky to attack the camp, no matter whether you can achieve your goal or not, your own casualties will be inevitable, and there will even be no return.

But this does not mean that Li Jinquan is against sending troops, Ming Hanrong's words are indeed to the point, and now the army is already panicked, if it really waits for the Tang army to put out a hundred trebuchets under the city, not to mention whether this Shouzhou City can withstand it, I am afraid that even the soldiers defending the city will be frightened and lose their fighting spirit. Therefore, it is imperative to send troops out of the city, but how to deploy troops has become the primary problem.

Needless to say, the selection of elite soldiers and horses is needless to say, and Li Jinquan considers the impact of the loss of this army and horses, in his eyes, this move is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Now in Shouzhou City, in addition to the recruits recently recruited, there are no more than three soldiers and horses, Li Jinquan's right wing of the Weisheng Army, Li Song's Baoxin Army and Wang Shirin's Gwangju Army. In the right wing of the Weisheng Army, almost all of these soldiers are northerners who followed Li Jinquan from the Central Plains, and they are also the hole cards he relies on to survive, one less dead or wounded, and the strength will be weakened, how can Li Jinquan be willing to send them to death?

Moreover, Li Jinquan has always been uneasy about Li Song and Wang Shirin, although both of them have sworn to follow their intentions, but the rebellion is unpredictable, and no one can say whether they have hidden dissent. If their own descendants are damaged, who can guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to cause a mutiny in Shouzhou City?

After careful consideration, Li Jinquan finally ordered Li Song to personally lead 8,000 Baoxin troops to attack the Tang camp at dusk, and burn the Tang army's trebuchets and timber at any cost.

This decision was carefully considered, Li Song was also a general in the north, and most of the Baoxin army under his command were northerners, only in terms of combat effectiveness, it was not inferior to Li Jinquan's Weisheng army, and this just caused Li Jinquan's jealousy, so it was only appropriate to send the Baoxin army to it, which could perfectly undertake the combat mission, even if there were casualties, it would not be a pity.

As for Wang Shirin's Gwangju soldiers, in Li Jinquan's eyes, they were nothing more than a rabble composed of a group of southerners. The same is to act as cannon fodder, for fear that this cannon fodder is not qualified.

"The last general commands! We will live up to the expectations of the handsome! ”

Under the eager gaze of the people in the tent, Li Song, the assassin of Luzhou who was sitting in the first place on the right, did not hesitate, but immediately got up and gave up his hand and took this dangerous military order.

......

In the evening, the sunset burning like a flame on the horizon rendered the huge Shouzhou City into a blush.

At this time, the south gate had been opened, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and Li Song rode a brown and red horse with complicated thoughts, along with the eight thousand Baoxin troops behind him.

These soldiers who guarded the important town of Huaixi in the past, although they have rebelled against the Southern Tang Dynasty, still wear the standard armor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the battle flag used is still the Baoxin military flag, not the weird sun, moon and star pattern, and the meaning here has to be intriguing.

Although they were both generals who went south from the Central Plains, they were also feared by Emperor Li Jing, but the experiences of Li Song and Li Jinquan were very different.

Li Jinquan was a young man in the past, and he was the adopted son of Li Siyuan of Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty. The cause of the southern Tang Dynasty is very absurd.

You must know that Li Jinquan was born in the Tuyuhun tribe, although he was brave and good at fighting, but he didn't know anything about the decrees of the Central Plains.

And Ming Hanrong is greedy for money, and after the power is in his hands, it is natural to loot the people and accept bribes, and he is rich in a blink of an eye, which makes Li Jinquan's governance of Anzhou people miserable.

Soon, the deeds of Ming Hanrong spread to Kaifeng, and Shi Jingjiao, the emperor of the Jin State, endured it, and just personally selected an honest and self-disciplined official Jia Rennuma to replace him. Later, Li Jinquan's adviser Pang Lingtu also made a speech, saying that Jia Rennuma was honest and not bad, and he was much stronger than Ming Hanrong.

After Ming Hanrong, who has always been jealous, received the news, he immediately sent a killer to infiltrate Pang Lingtu's house that night and kill his entire family, and at the same time sent someone to poison Jia Rennuma, causing Jia Rennuma's tongue to rot and die, and then blame the robbers naturally.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and soon Jia Rennuo's two sons fled to Beijing to complain about grievances, and the angry Shi Jingjiao decisively ordered the general Ma Quanjie to lead the army to Anzhou, ask for the guilt and replace Li Jinquan. Ming Hanrong, who had a ghost in his heart, was horrified when he heard this, so he persuaded Li Jinquan to oppose the Tang Dynasty, and finally succeeded in persuading Li Jinquan to oppose the Jin State, and gathered all the soldiers to surrender to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Although the Southern Tang Dynasty gave Li Jinquan a series of titles for the Commander of the Holy Army and the Loyal Army, he did not give him the actual power, and firmly controlled him and his soldiers in Shouzhou on the border, and even put 30,000 Qinghuai troops by his side.

On the contrary, unlike Li Jinquan, who was "forced" to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Li Song took the initiative to lead his army south when the Khitan destroyed the Jin Dynasty and the Central Plains had no owner, and most of the northerners under his command were fierce men who had fought with the Khitan.

The same is to bring soldiers and horses to surrender, Li Song was very humble when he faced the saint in Jinling, and even took the initiative to say that he was willing to hand over the military power, which made Li Jing have a good impression, and after thinking twice, he finally decided to seal Li Song as the assassin of Luzhou, and his soldiers and horses were incorporated into the Baoxin Army in Huaixi, which was still under his command.

Luzhou has a special significance in the Southern Tang Dynasty, in addition to being the seat of the Southern Tang Dynasty Baoxin Army, it is also the place where Yang Wu Taizu Yang Xingmi made his fortune.

After all, the rivers and mountains of the Southern Tang Dynasty were obtained by Yang Wu's "Chan Rang", so the ancestor Li Yu still left the title of Baoxin Army Festival Envoy to the descendants of the Yang royal family, allowing them to worship the ancestral temple in Luzhou. But at the same time, he also sent another general to serve as the assassin of Luzhou, firmly controlling the military power of the Baoxin Army and preventing the descendants of Yang Wu from disagreeing.

This directly led to the fact that these two people who were in the position of the envoy of the Baoxin Army and the assassin of Luzhou must be incompatible.

Unfortunately, after Li Song took office, he happened to meet the most domineering generation of the Yang family, and now Yang Weiyue, the Baoxin Army.

After Li Jing succeeded to the throne, the situation of Yang Wu's descendants was obviously much better, Yang Weiyue not only had close contacts with officials in the DPRK and China, but also married the little sister of the queen Zhong's family.

But after all, Yang Weiyue is a royal family of the previous dynasty, if he dares to ask Emperor Li Jing for military power, it is almost no different from seeking death, and his courage is not so big, so he set his sights on the newly appointed Li Song.

Yang Weiyue originally thought that Li Song was in a difficult situation as a general, and it must be easy to win over, but who expected that Li Song was not stupid, and he knew in his heart that he must not be involved in this matter, so he often flashed his words, perfunctory, and always performed his duties honestly.

For half a year, Yang Weiyue tried everything to fail, and finally became angry and began to make things difficult everywhere. Finally, during a drinking banquet, one of Yang Weiyue's henchmen pushed Li Song's five-year-old parent and child into the lake and drowned due to "drunkenness", and the murderer suddenly disappeared the next day.

After losing his beloved son, Li Song was extremely sad and angry, and after coming to the door many times to reason with Yang Weiyue to no avail, he had to go to Shujinling one after another to ask the court to investigate thoroughly. When the ministers of the court learned that this matter was related to Yang Weiyue, they dodged one after another, and no one was willing to speak for this general.

Some people even withheld this note, but instead made false accusations to Emperor Li Jing, saying that the general Li Song led his troops to force Yang Weiyue's mansion to make Jiedu, which was a disaster for the place, and he must have a rebellious heart.

Li Jing was full of thoughts and only thought about the southern and northern wars, and had no time to pay attention to it, so he listened to the courtier's request and ordered Li Song to be severely punished, not only depriving him of his military rights, but also sending his family to Jinling for questioning, and asking him to immediately compensate for the loss of Yang Weiyue's mansion and personally come to apologize.

After receiving the holy decree from Jinling, Li Song's last vestiges of loyalty to the imperial court completely collapsed, and the northerners in the Baoxin army were also resentful when they heard it. At this time, Li Jinquan rebelled and sent an invitation to himself, and Li Song, who had already been saddled with the name of rebellion, was already discouraged, and immediately summoned the old department to respond, and entered Yang Weiyue's mansion that night and beheaded him to death.

Since arriving in Shouzhou, Li Jinquan's tyrannical impermanence and stubbornness and suspicion, coupled with the greed and jealousy of his henchman Ming Hanrong, Li Song quickly noticed it, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, and the two gradually became inseparable.

Recently, the Tang army attacked the city fiercely, and Li Jinquan deliberately placed almost all of Li Song's Baoxin army on the front line of the most dangerous east gate, using it as cannon fodder like the previous Qinghuai army, and in just a few days, it was quickly reduced from more than 10,000 men and horses when entering the city to 8,000.

And this time he was ordered to lead his troops out of the city to attack the Tang camp, Li Song had already reacted, in addition to the strength of the Baoxin Army, Li Jinquan was nothing more than jealous, and continued to weaken his strength in disguise, and at the same time, he was also sure that the northerners of the Baoxin Army would definitely not surrender to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

So, where do we go from here?

Li Song naturally has his own thoughts. At this time, he had already issued an order, and after leaving the south gate, the whole army accelerated its pace and entered the dense forest where Li Yuan, the commander of the Tang Army, appeared. Since the Battle of Shouzhou Chengnan, the soldiers in the city have long known that there is a road leading to Bagong Mountain hidden in the dense forest.

But is there more than one direction for the so-called road?
