For many days, the battle on the side of Wu'an Pass seemed to be fierce, but the city defense was still stable.

On the contrary, it was the Jinyi Guards who were placed in the Qi State to report that the soldiers and horses of the Qi State had been assembled at the border.

So Li Hao found Gongyegu: "The matter of Qi is close at hand, Gu needs to go to Fengcheng immediately, and Wu'an Pass will be entrusted to Yongdinghou."

Gongye Gu replied: "Please also rest assured that the Wu'an Pass is tightly guarded and the soldiers are well fed, and the An army will definitely not be allowed to go beyond one step.

However, Your Highness needs to pay more attention, the situation in the Qi Kingdom is complicated, and with only the 30,000 troops you led from the capital, I am afraid that it may not be enough, so there is really no need to return to the imperial court first?"

Regarding the movements of Qi State, Li Hao informed Gongyegu a few days ago, after all, what he brought was not real reinforcements.

This matter must be discussed with Gong Yegu in advance, otherwise if he misestimates the strength in his hand and makes something happen when he pats his head, he will be in trouble.

However, it is only limited to Gongyegu, because Li Hao wants to take the initiative to control this war firmly in his own hands.

If the news had been informed in advance, Cui Ming would definitely have chosen another general to lead the army, rather than letting Li Hao coordinate the overall situation.

Because there is still a distance between the two battlefields, it can be regarded as two separate battles.

But if after the start of the war, when the two sides are fighting fiercely, Li Hao wants reinforcements, it is impossible to change the commander on the spot, which is a taboo for soldiers.

Anyway, Li Hao's side has already made preparations in advance, and he also has a backhand just in case, and he doesn't need this reinforcement for the time being.

"No, for the war with the Qi Kingdom, Gu already has a full plan, and he will return to the imperial court at the right time."

Gongye had the intention to persuade two more words, but when he saw Li Hao's resolute attitude and Chen Xi's sudden arrival, he gave up.

Chen Xi came over to tell Li Hao that the preparations for departure had been made.

So Li Hao did not delay, and took advantage of the night to leave Wu'an Pass with Chen Xi, Ren Xin and a team of guards, and marched in the direction of Qi State.

In order not to attract the attention of others, Li Hao traveled in a hurry, rarely entered the city, and finally took five days to arrive in Fengcheng.

This time, Li Hao arranged a strategy for the people of Qi to close the door and fight the dogs, to annihilate as many of the living forces of the Qi State as possible at one time, rather than simply defeating them, to create opportunities for the later counteroffensive.

But in fact, the troops at hand now Li Hao do not have any advantage for the Qi army.

Therefore, in order to complete this strategy, the requirements for terrain are relatively high.

Therefore, after Li Hao analyzed a large number of maps in the north and sent Jinyiwei to survey on the spot, he finally selected a place, that is, Fengcheng.

This is a large valley from Liuzhou, and Fengcheng sits in the heart of the valley.

As long as the Qi army can be introduced here, Li Hao can use Fengcheng and Liuzhou to block the Qi army's grain road, and then make the Qi army a turtle in the urn.

However, how to lead and how to block is the problem that Li Hao needs to solve, first of all, to strengthen the importance of Fengcheng.

The problem was introduced, Li Hao began to pave the way before, spreading the news of Fengcheng's grain and grass military hoarding in the territory of Qi State, and also bet on many treasures of the caravan.

From the military to the people's livelihood, a variety of angles to increase the attractiveness of the Qi State.

The problem of blocking is even more serious, because in order to complete this plan, the first thing is to let Liuzhou and several border cities be occupied by the Qi army.

Otherwise, the road behind is unstable, and the people of Qi are not fools, and they will definitely not go forward and take risks.

That is to say, when the Qi army attacked Fengcheng, someone had to regain Liuzhou in order to block the retreat channel of the Qi army, and it would take at least ten days to block it.

But in this way, this force will inevitably be attacked by the Qi army from both sides in front and back.

After all, the Qi army is to escape, and the combat effectiveness that can be exerted at that time is only unimaginable, and the pressure that this army needs to bear will be very great.

So Li Hao decided to personally lead the troops to do this task, and put Chen Xi in Fengcheng.

Chen Xigang

Hearing Li Hao's thoughts, he must have to oppose it, but in the end, he couldn't say Li Hao.

Li Hao did not stay in Fengcheng for long, and after a brief inspection of the city defense arrangement, he rushed to Liuzhou first and personally commanded the preliminary work.

That is, in the case of being as realistic as possible, to provide the Qi army with a smooth sense of attack, and at the same time to reduce the losses of the Su country as much as possible.

Ren Xin followed Li Hao along the way, and had an opinion on Li Hao's inconsistent behavior, so he found an opportunity and asked Li Hao: "In fact, if you want to fool the people of the Qi Kingdom, the best way is to reduce the garrison strength of these cities, and do nothing for the rest to show the people of the Qi Kingdom the most real situation.

Since you made this plan yourself, and you already knew the consequences when you made the decision, why bother to pretend like this now."

Li Hao stopped what he was doing when he heard this, and replied: "Once a general succeeds, ten thousand bones are withered, and there is always a sacrifice to fight a war, and a soft-hearted person cannot be a famous general.

Of course, I know that because of my plan, the people of the border cities will inevitably be harmed, and this is really unfair to them.

But I think it's cost-effective to exchange this moment's suffering for eternal peace, so I have no hesitation in making this decision, even if I will be hated and complained.

However, if you can avoid losses, you can still avoid them as much as possible, and if you lose one point less, you will be regarded as accumulating virtue for yourself."

After hearing this, Ren Xin said, "I have told you all this, God is also you, and ghosts are also you."

Li Hao smiled: "People, they are complex, and only when light and shadow exist together can they be truly complete.

Okay, let's not talk about it, let's talk about you, I'm really not going to leave, it's dangerous to follow me."

Ren Xin snorted coldly and replied, "How dangerous can it be, can it be compared to the assassination of the main general among the ten thousand armies, besides, if it is really a critical moment, I will have time to leave if I want to."

And even if you say so, I always feel that people like you will never put themselves to death.

I'm not sure what you're going to do, but if you do, you're sure you'll win."

Li Hao smiled, "Yes, I didn't expect you to know me so well now, I'm very happy."

Ren Xin didn't answer Li Hao's teasing, and turned around and left directly.

As the battle situation at Wu'an Pass became more and more anxious, Li Falcon saw that there was no hope of breaking through in a short time, so he sent a letter urging Qi Guo to act as soon as possible.

So Li Hao's arrangement came in handy, and the Qi army soon went to war without declaring war, and gathered 50,000 troops from Yiyang, Lianyang, and Chuzhou to attack Suguo.

The front-line defenders had already been ordered by Li Hao'er, and after a fierce battle, they pretended to be invincible and abandoned the city and fled.

The Qi army won a great victory in the first battle, and then after leaving some soldiers and horses in the city, they began to continue the attack.

Within fifteen days, he visited three state capitals in Suzhou, which greatly boosted his morale.

Although they also knew that they were dealing with local soldiers and horses, not the field forbidden army of the Suzhou country.

But they can't stand being bullied by Su Guo for a long time, and now they are finally raising their eyebrows, and they will inevitably be a little complacent, and at the same time increase their ambitions.

It was at this time that Fengcheng, a strategic and wealthy city, became their main target in the future.

Three days later, Liuzhou City fell, and the Qi army crossed Liuzhou and advanced towards Fengcheng.

At this time, Li Hao was leading 10,000 soldiers and horses, hiding in a valley thirty miles away from Liuzhou City.

That night, the Jinyi guard of Liuzhou City reported back the situation in the city at this time, and Qi Guo left two thousand soldiers in Liuzhou City.

According to the summary of the situation in the previous cities, Li Hao can probably conclude that in addition to the siege casualties and the more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in the front cities, there should be more than 30,000 soldiers and horses attacking Fengcheng now.

With this strength, it is not difficult for Fengcheng to defend it, and Li Hao does not need to worry about Chen Xi.

On his own side, it is not difficult to recover Liuzhou City, after all, there is the help of the internal Jinyi Guard.

The focus is still on defending the city, after all, after the Qi army gets the news of the loss of Liuzhou, it will inevitably return to attack the city as soon as possible, and there is not much time left for Li Hao to prepare.

For this reason, Li Hao could only emphasize their respective tasks with the generals again before leaving, so that they could start preparing as soon as they entered the city, and they could not waste a little time.

After some hard work and confirmation that they all had a detailed understanding of their respective tasks, Li Hao looked at the sky and led the army to set off.

After ten miles outside Liuzhou City, the army stopped, and Li Hao led 500 people to approach the east gate in the night.

Because the agreed time with Jinyiwei was the second half of the night, they would find a way to open the east gate and let Li Hao and others enter the city, so as not to attack the city directly and save time.

It's just that in this way, what to do can only be grasped by the Jinyi guards in the city.

However, Li Hao believed in their strength, so that he would not even be able to take down a city gate with no defense, so he waited patiently.

And the Jinyi guards in the city did not disappoint Li Hao, only waiting for about three o'clock in the city, the signal in the city finally lit up, and then Li Hao led the troops to rush forward.

Just in time for the city gate to open, there was a sound of fighting inside, and I saw the Jinyi guard in night clothes fighting with the soldiers of the Qi army.

However, the number of Jinyi guards is not advantageous after all, and there is a tendency to gradually retreat.

Seeing this, Li Hao rushed in first, and began to use sword qi to clean up the small soldiers, creating a space for this section of the city gate, so as to facilitate the follow-up people to enter the city.

And second only to Li Hao, is Ren Xin, but her martial arts are light and dexterous, after all, her main work scene is to be an assassin, and she doesn't need to open and close, so she is still a little unfamiliar with fighting before the battle.

But fortunately, she knew her situation very well, and quickly adjusted her rhythm and began to wander the edge of the battlefield in search of opportunities.

Then use your strengths to deal with the officers who lead the soldiers.

However, in this way, her danger factor has increased a lot, after all, she needs to break through the enemy formation.

Fortunately, the people behind followed quickly, and suddenly formed a numerical advantage at the East Gate, and the Qi army at the East Gate was quickly defeated.

After that, Li Hao did not send people to chase after him, but commanded his men to deploy defenses at the east gate in case the Qi army attacked again.

At the same time, a signal was sent to summon the main forces outside the city.

After the arming was completed, Li Hao found Ren Xin, who was staying aside, his face was a little pale, and said, "You were injured just now, I'll use your internal force to treat you."

Ren Xin didn't understand Li Hao's kindness, and replied, "I'm not injured, and the Qi army will definitely come over later, so you should keep your internal strength to kill the enemy."

"Don't worry, just this ten miles away, the East Palace guards don't need to run over for half an hour, there are a total of two thousand people in the city, and they are divided into four city walls and the central mansion.

If you come in a hurry, it will inevitably be scattered, and there will not be much pressure, but if it is assembled, it will inevitably take time in the middle, and we will not have to support it for long.

Besides, as far as my internal strength cultivation is concerned, it is more than enough to fight the whole game, so you don't have to worry."

After speaking, he didn't give her a chance to refute, so he walked directly behind her and began to use his internal force to heal her.

This time, her internal injuries were fine, so Li Hao ran a few sets of big cycles and stopped.

As for the trauma, it is obviously not suitable for medication now, so it will be like this for the time being.

But then he said, "The battle formation is different from the assassination you are used to, you must know that even I dare not rush into the enemy formation alone.

It's also fortunate that the enemy was caught off guard this time and couldn't complete the formation, otherwise how could you only be so lightly injured, and you won't be able to work so hard next time."

Ren Xin was rarely convinced this time, and said, "Okay, not next time."

While the two were talking, the soldiers and horses of the Qi army who had rushed to snatch back the east gate had already arrived, and the two drew their swords again to meet them.

This time it didn't take long to fight, and the guards of the East Palace rushed over first, and the Qi army immediately withdrew when he saw that the general trend had gone

Gone, escaped through the other gates.

Li Hao didn't care about this move, just waited for the follow-up soldiers and horses to arrive, and quickly ordered them to take over the four city gates and prepare for the defense of the city according to the original plan.

As for Li Hao himself, he brought people to the government and used it as a temporary hospital for wounded soldiers.

This mainly depends on the doctors in the city, after all, although Li Hao's Yangzhou slow is useful, he can't personally save every wounded soldier, and he can't be busy.

But for Ren Xin, Li Hao still has to do it himself, and by the way, this time Li Hao also brought the trauma ointment.

Ren Xin began to see it, and also expressed his refusal, saying that he had brought the gold sore medicine himself.

But then he listened to Li Hao's words and immediately accepted it.

Because Li Hao emphasized that his trauma cream has the effect of removing scars, not only new injuries can not leave scars, but also have a miraculous effect on old injuries.

How can a woman not care about this, even if she was once a cold-blooded assassin.

However, to Li Hao's pity, Ren Xin didn't let him give her the medicine, and only asked Li Hao to help find a maid to come over.

For this situation, in terms of his ability and appearance, he is much stronger than that Ning Yuanzhou, how can he be treated a little differently.

can only be attributed to the fact that Shen Tuhui is not dead, so she did not take the words of having a child as a guideline.

After finishing Ren Xin's side, Li Hao turned his head and began to be busy with official business, such as pacifying the gentry and people in the city.

In addition, by this time, the urgent report to the imperial court will also be written.

Among them, it is necessary to focus on the critical level of the situation here now, so that the imperial court can quickly send reinforcements over.
