It's late at night.

There is a howling cold wind outside the window, and there is the fragrance of hot tea in the Wangchun Pavilion.

There were five people sitting around the tea table.

They are Li Chen'an, An Zizai, Zhou Zheng, Su Muxin, and Zhou Eighteen.

There was a map on the tea table.

In front of each other, there was also a cup of tea poured by Li Chenan.

But no one went to drink tea.

Except for Li Chen'an, the other four people all stared at the map, and the expressions on their faces were quite solemn.

The main reason is that the disparity in strength is too large-

Although there are 50,000 soldiers in Gangnam Province, in fact they are not terrible.

Because the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers is too weak.

Their days in Jiangnan were too good, they didn't really get training.

They haven't even seen blood!

Their willpower is extremely weak, and they are bound to rout if they encounter an opponent who will not die.

But Xiahou Zhuo's 30,000 border troops could not be underestimated.

Since he dared to bring it to Jiangnan, it must be the most elite soldier in his hands!

What's more, there is a well-trained thousand soldiers and horses in Maple Mountain.

Let's look at the situation on my side -

The Xuanjia camp consisted of 500 people.

An Zizi's rearranged Tiger Battalion is also about 500 people.

As for Ning Chuchu's remaining more than two hundred women's army...... Li Chenan didn't let Ning Chuchu participate in this military meeting, and obviously her more than 200 people were basically negligible.

Or it can be regarded as Li Chenan's personal guard.

1,000 to 80,000......

This seems like wishful thinking.

But then analyze the advantages of this thousand-number person -

First, their weapons are knives made of 100 steel, and although their armor is not made of 100 steel, the standard armor in the Bining army is much stronger in terms of defense and flexibility.

Second: These thousand people have martial arts.

And the skills are not bad!

Third...... They all have at least two fireworks on them!

Although it is not big, its lethality is not weak.

Fourth, the mist that Xiao Wu configured before leaving Kyoto certainly cannot cover the entire battlefield, but it has a huge effect on the local battlefield.

So it's not that you can't fight.

Judging from An Zizi's experience, the god of this battle is actually not too small.

If this battle is fought, it may be recorded in history as a classic of actual combat in which less wins more.

The only problem is only one -

Once the battlefield of 80,000 or 90,000 people is spread, it will stretch for miles.

Li Chen'an, this guy is going to go!

On such a large battlefield, there are only 1,000 people on his side, and he must concentrate his forces to break them all, so he can't take into account Li Chen'an's safety.

As for Ning Chuchu's more than 200 women's army...... Surrendering the life of the dignified regent to her is too unreliable.

"I agree with this fight!"

After some careful consideration, An Zizi raised his eyes to look at Li Chen'an, and said:

"My only request is only one ...... You, either stay here and wait for news, or you go to Pingjiang City. ”

Zhou Zheng also looked at Li Chen'an, "My subordinates agree with General An's opinion!" ”

Li Chenan was very depressed.

He thought for a moment, "I have a reason to go!" ”

An Zizi waved his hand: "I don't care what you do!" Could it be that you want to use yourself as bait to lure Xiahou Zhuo to attack? ”

"This bait is okay once or twice, if it is a few more times, one bad will really be eaten by the fish!"

"How can I explain to Miss Ruoshui when you die?"

"I went back to Kyoto, and when they asked, how would I answer?"

Li Chenan waved his hand, "Wait!" ”

"Listen to me first!"

"These 50,000 soldiers in Jiangnan Province are led by the commander Xie Jing."

"The news that Pingjiang City was taken by the Imperial City Division, I estimate that it will reach Xie Jing's ears in the near future."

"This Xie Jing, forty years old, born in the military, is not a stunned young man!"

"When he heard the news that Yu Wanzhi, the governor of Jiangnan Province, and Song Shiming, the governor of Jiangnan Province, had been imprisoned, he didn't necessarily want to avenge them!"

Su Muxin also looked at Li Chen'an at this moment and asked, "What do you mean...... Let Xie Jing lead his troops to surrender? ”

Li Chenan nodded: "There are only two roads in front of him. ”

"Either you continue to rebel or you must show your loyalty to me!"

"He knows what these 50,000 soldiers in his hands are, and there will definitely be no future for rebellion, so as long as I summon him, he will definitely come to pay allegiance to me!"

An Zizi frowned slightly between his eyebrows, "This ...... That's a reason. ”

"Then you stay here, write a handwritten letter, and give it to him after we go to Fengxian, and let him come here to see you alone."

"No!"

Li Chenan rejected An Zi's most secure proposal.

"I don't just want him to come to see me, I have a task to give him...... Since he was ordered to kill me, of course he had to show enough sincerity! ”

An Zizai's eyes lit up, "Fighting back? ”

"Yes, Xiahou Zhuo must die!"

"But we can't afford to pay too much for that."

"Fifty thousand soldiers fought with 30,000 Xiahou Zhuo's elite border army...... We can't win a fight, but our people can hunt for the greatest victory in the chaotic battlefield at the least cost! ”

An Zizi and the others pondered for a moment, of course this strategy was the best, but what if that Xie Jing didn't surrender?

"You still don't have to go there yourself!"

"You think I want to go?!"

Li Chenan stood up and came to the window with his hands behind his back.

Outside the window, there are bright red lanterns swaying in the wind.

There was also a torrent of snow that fluttered in the scarlet light.

"I went to Feng County, and when I came, I could give Xie Jing a reassurance, and even let him urge the 50,000 soldiers to fight hard!"

"Second...... I'm in Feng County, and Xiahou Zhuo can't wait to kill me. ”

"I need this fight to end victoriously in the shortest possible time!"

An Zizai and the others looked at Li Chen'an's back.

"In a hurry to go to Shuzhou?"

Li Chenan turned around and shook his head:

"It's not that I'm in a hurry to go to Shuzhou, but because the envoy of Wu has arrived in Kyoto!"

"This negotiation, according to the discussion with Wen Zhuyu before I left Kyoto, there is no need to negotiate at all!"

"The envoy of the state of Wu will inevitably return in anger!"

"The news will spread all over the world!"

"Then after the envoys of Wu return to China, I'm afraid that the war over there will begin."

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside...... The Red Flame Army will fight to the death with the army of Wu at Wuyaguan, and Ningguo's grain, grass and military supplies must be sent to Wuyaguan now! ”

"There must be no turmoil in the country!"

"That's why I need to take Gangnam Province so urgently and stabilize Gangnam Province...... The money and grain in Jiangnan is the guarantee of the battle of the Boundless Pass! ”

"Xiahou Zhuo's soldiers went to Jiangnan, this is a good thing."

"Getting rid of this cancer in Feng County, there may be small troubles in Ningguo, but at least major troubles will not happen easily."

"In the matter of the Kyoto negotiations, Xiahou Zhuo must be eliminated before the news reaches Jiangnan, otherwise I am afraid that someone will have a dissenting mind because of this."

Li Chenan sat at the table and picked up the teacup:

"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys...... The death of a Xiahou Zhuo can always make some people hide their dissenting intentions for the time being. ”

"As for the future,"

Li Chenan took a sip of tea and grinned:

"The eldest son of the emperor returned to the throne and ascended the throne as the emperor, that is what he needs to deal with."

"Me...... I have to take Ruoshui to Wu for a trip. ”

An Zizi was taken aback: "If Ning Guo and Wu Guo really go to war, do you dare to go to Wu State?" ”

"Isn't that self-defeating?"

Li Chenan shrugged, "You forgot, I'm actually a poet immortal." ”

"Shixian is a fart!"

"If the Wu delegation fails in negotiations, do you think the Wu people will treat you as a poet?!"
