104. Retreat to Ruzhou
Nanyang County, Dengzhou.
"Strategist!"
"You say, how can we win against Li Xianzhong?"
"After all, our army is now becoming more and more unfavorable to our side on the western and eastern fronts!"
"So we must defeat Li Xianzhong and use it as a breakthrough!"
"Li Xianzhong is brave and good at strategy, it is not easy to defeat him!"
"So Your Majesty, you must not be too impatient, waiting for the right time is the most important thing!"
"But when is the best time to wait?"
"Everyone makes mistakes, and Li Xianzhong can't be without weaknesses, so let's just wait and see what happens!"
“……!”
Xu Xian and Xin Qiji were discussing the war at this time.
"Your Majesty!"
"Li Xianzhong's troops are now coming in the direction of our Nanyang!"
"Now that the enemy is less than thirty miles away, should we go to meet it at once?"
Yang Poyu suddenly broke in.
"It's time to come, it's still coming!"
"Strategist!"
"What do you think?"
At this time, Xu Xian's eyes immediately turned back to Xin Qiji.
"Since there is no complete chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation with Li Xianzhong's troops, why don't we give up this Nanyang first?"
"After all, didn't Li Xianzhong go to the rescue of Dengzhou before, Your Majesty, you should return it this favor!"
Xin Qizhi is advised.
"The military advisor's intention is to let me give up Nanyang?"
Xu Xian wanted to confirm.
"Yes!"
"Come and don't be rude!"
"And Your Majesty, you should also send someone to publicize it, just say that the reason why we took the initiative to give up Nanyang is to repay the love of the battle of Dengzhou!"
Xin Qiji said.
"But that's it!"
"Aren't we going to be too immoral?"
"If this matter spreads to the Song military camp, won't everyone over there have to suspect Li Xianzhong and secretly communicate with us!"
Of course, Xu Xian understood the consequences of this.
"When the two armies are fighting, it is originally you and me, and there is only killing on the battlefield, how can there be benevolence and righteousness?"
"Does Your Majesty still want to preach morality at this time, waiting to see his army wiped out by the enemy?"
Xin Qiji immediately stated the benefits and disadvantages.
"The military advisor is right!"
"So be it!"
"Immediately order to go down, in the name of returning the Song army to control Li Xianzhong, and showing mercy to our Dacao army in Dengzhou, all troops will immediately withdraw from Nanyang!"
Xu Xian listened to Le Xin's advice to abandon his illness.
Nanyang two hours later.
"Qi Qi Li Dutong!"
"Those cauldron thieves have all retreated from this Nanyang!"
"And they also claim that they retreated in order to control your favors!"
"These remarks of the thief army have now spread all over our army, and now they are ...... in the army!"
A general, at this time, reported to Li Xianzhong, who had just entered Nanyang County.
"What?"
"Those thieves said that it was to repay the favor of the capital?"
"What does that mean?"
When Li Xianzhong heard this, he naturally felt that something was wrong.
"Those thief armies are now preaching everywhere that they are all controlling you in order to repay the old feelings of the thief leader Xu Xian, and they deliberately did not support Wang Zhen in attacking Dengzhou, which led to the loss of Wang Zhen's 30,000 elites in Dengzhou, so the thief army took the initiative to withdraw from Nanyang this time, completely in order to return the favor of the last Dengzhou that controlled you!"
The general explained.
"Okay, you're a Xu Immortal, you actually calculated me like this!"
"Notify now!"
"Dengzhou is not because I Li Xianzhong did not save it, but because Wang Zhen underestimated the enemy and fell into the rebel spy's scheme, which led to the annihilation of his entire army, even if the system wants to save it, it is beyond reach!"
"This is a move by the thief army to provoke the hearts of our army, so that everyone must not discuss it in vain, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law!"
When Li Xianzhong heard the news, of course he looked angry.
So Li Xianzhong led the army to pursue Xu Xian's army angrily, so as to stabilize the army's heart.
Ruzhou City.
"Your Majesty!"
"Li Xianzhong's army has crossed Lushan and is chasing in the direction of our Ruzhou!"
The spy reported to Xu Xian.
"Is this Li Xianzhong crazy?"
"Actually chasing like this?"
Xu Xian had just entered Ruzhou City at this time.
"In the past, Duke Wen of Jin retreated from King Chu Cheng's army to repay him!"
"And now you have to retreat in order to repay Li Xianzhong's affection, so we can't retreat anymore!"
On the side, Xin Qiji reminded Xu Xian.
"Yes!"
"It's true that we can't retreat anymore, and if we retreat, we can only retreat to Yique Pass to fight against the water, which is completely unnecessary!"
"In that case, then let's fight with Li Xianzhong's Song army at this Ruzhou Guangcheng Pass!"
Of course, Xu Xian knew the current situation in his heart.
"Li Dutong!"
"Not far ahead is Guangcheng Pass!"
"I heard that the army of thieves is now stationed here and waiting for us!"
A spy came to report to Li Xianzhong.
"Guangchengguan?"
"I heard that this Guangcheng Pass has been the first pass of Xiang and Deng to Luoyang since ancient times, and it has always blocked countless heroes and heroes, and today I Li Xianzhong will try this Guangcheng Pass, whether it is really as strong as the legend!"
"Tell me to go down, everyone is ready, and immediately knock with me!"
Li Xianzhong said, rode his horse, and took the lead and rushed towards Guangcheng Pass.
"Your Majesty!"
"Li Xianzhong and his people have already arrived at the gate!"
"At this time, he just gave you a war letter!"
One of the generals handed over a letter.
Xu Xian traitor, my Great Song Dynasty treats you like a mountain, trust, I hope you can recover the Central Plains, drive out the Tartars, I didn't expect you to be ambitious, not only refused to defend yourself, but also betrayed the Song Dynasty, vainly claiming to be the emperor, it is really my Great Song Dynasty misfortune, the world's misfortune, so I Li Xianzhong came to crusade against you and other rebel thieves, if you are interested, immediately go out of the customs and surrender, otherwise ......!
So Xin Qiji hurriedly took the letter and read it for Xu Xian.
"What's in the back?"
"Why didn't the military advisor read it?"
Xu Xian saw that Xin Qijian didn't continue to read for a while, so he asked.
"Your Majesty, the words behind are too ugly, minister... I can't read it! ”
Xin Qiji responded.
"Just read it, don't be so taboo!"
Of course, Xu Xian also wanted to know how Li Xianzhong would scold himself.
"Otherwise... Otherwise, I, Li Xianzhong, will take Guangcheng Pass and pacify Luoyang, and I will definitely wait... You and other rebellious ministers and thieves, traitors and concubines with thousands of knives... Chopping, dissecting... Dissect... Belly... Scrape... Bone, Ling... Late execution, to set an example! ”
Xin Qi thought about it.
"This Li Xianzhong seems to have a really great hatred for me Xu Xian!"
"After you want to catch me, you want to deal with me like this, Xu Xian!"
"So be it!"
"Trouble the military advisor to help me write a reply letter to that Li Xianzhong!"
Xu Xian then asked Xin Qiji to return a war letter to Li Xianzhong.
Guangcheng Pass, not far away.
"Li Dutong!"
"At this time, the thief sent a reply letter!"
A general handed over a letter to Li Xianzhong at this time.
The shame of Jingkang has never snowed, why is it too anxious to fry each other with the same root! If you want to get out of the Central Plains, you will not return to Huaisijun! I still remember Yue Pengju back then, and he was unwilling to suffer all the injustices! The old feelings have not been forgotten, retreat to the seven houses to be returned, the capital of Luoyang Xinghan room, the sun and the moon reflect the brightness!
After Li Xianzhong saw this so-called war letter, he couldn't help but feel a little more melancholy in his heart.
