Mo Zhao walked in the direction she was from a distance.

He didn't know the relationship between Li Hanning and Luoyang and Xiao Ce before, so he was naturally worried about this war, after all, the second son of the king of Luoyang had not tasted defeat since he led the troops to fight, and they brought far more soldiers and horses this time than them, and the only advantage of Huai'an was that this was their place.

Li Hanning has been much busier than usual since he led the troops, and there are few opportunities for them to meet in private, and Mo Zhao has seen her alone for the first time in the past few days.

At this moment, he also looked at her and asked:

"What do you think we have a chance of winning this time?"

Li Hanning glanced at him, she had discussed it with Li Zhao before bringing the troops here.

"We don't need to win Luoyang in this battle, we just need to hold on here for a while, and they will naturally retreat."

They were referring to Luoyang.

Mo Zhao was a little surprised by this:

"The general said that the Luoyang army would retreat?"

Li Hanning nodded, the Luoyang army is indeed brave and good at fighting, this time it is Xiao Ce who personally charges into battle, and the morale is even more sharp than before, even if they Huai'an is a death battle, even if they can win Luoyang this time, it will definitely be a heavy casualty, and the imperial court in Chang'an may not be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But Li Hanning knows very well in his heart that although the current situation is ever-changing, this battle is still solvable, such as Luoyang's own situation, such as Xiao Sheng, although Xiao Ce's good brother is not good at leading troops to fight, but his ability to snatch reputation and military merit is first-class, and his eyes must not tolerate Xiao Ce's lead in Huai'an alone, this is their Huai'an's opportunity to disintegrate Luoyang from the inside.

Li Zhao had already sent people to spread the news everywhere in Luoyang City, and they just had to wait for the news to reach Xiao Ce's brother's ears.

At least although the proposal to attack Huai'an was put forward by Xiao Sheng, with Xiao Ce's current record of winning many battles, it has already overshadowed the limelight he expected, and Xiao Sheng will not sit idly by.

The onlookers who are fascinated by the authorities, please, these bystanders can see clearly what Xiao Ce can't see clearly.

Mo Zhao responded: "I understand." ”

No wonder they came over this time to bring so much grain and grass, and the original strategy was to stick to the pond and wait for it to change.

"But if there is really news from Luoyang, Xiao Ce is the son of the king of Luoyang after all, and he is also Xiao Sheng's younger brother after all, and he may have left a guard against him, if they are desperate to attack the city——"

Isn't it also very dangerous for them to be in a very dangerous situation now?

Li Hanning glanced at him and shook his head: "He won't, it's not that he wants to fight Huai'an now." ”

Otherwise, at his speed, it shouldn't be to Fengyang City now. What is he waiting for, Xiao Ce also knows Li Zhao very well, although he has captured many cities under the name of Huai'an City along the way, he has never criticized the people living in those cities.

The current troubled times have been the birds and bows since ancient times, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked, if he is defeated so quickly, the rebels are the strongest Huai'an City in addition to them, and the other rebels are almost not afraid in the eyes of Luoyang City.

Where is he still used, his brother was originally the eldest son, the crown prince of the king of Luoyang, and his hometown may not have a place for him at that time.

In addition to smiling and fighting on the battlefield, Xiao Ce is also a smart person in terms of strategy, and he should know these things very well.

She is now clearly waiting for him in Luoyang.

*

"The second son is less than ten miles ahead of Fengyang City."

Xiao Ce grabbed the horse rope and stopped in place, and glanced at the place where the yellow sand was covered from a distance, calculating the time, they should indeed arrive.

Xiao Ce glanced at Ning Yu on the side, and said in a consultative tone:

"The soldiers have also followed us for several days, so let's set up camp here today and rest for the night."

Ning Yu glanced at the soldiers around him and replied, "It's okay." ”

Further on, to Fengyang City, there is inevitably a tough battle waiting for them.

"A few days ago, the defenders of Huai'an City moved into Fengyang with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it seems that they want to fight us to the death here."

Ning Yu is now in Xiao Ce's camp, and he has always been Xiao Ce's most trusted person, so he naturally knows all this best.

"I think the second son should be more interested in who the person leading the troops is."

Xiao Ce sighed lightly and said: "I know it's her, if I were Li Zhao, I would also reuse her at this time, she was originally the person who succeeded Fang Jiuge in Huai'an City, apart from her, Li Zhao now has no more suitable person to be his general." ”

Ning Yu was noncommittal, although Xiao Ce did not mention Li Hanning's name, but it sounded like he knew everything well, and he didn't even need the forward officer to say information about the enemy army to guess Li Zhao's employment

Ning Yu looked at him quietly and said: "It's indeed Li Hanning, but we brought more than 50,000 soldiers and horses than them, but I heard from the people who went to investigate the news that they brought two more months of grain and grass this time, thinking that they wanted to stick to the city and wait for someone." ”

Xiao Ce looked at the military advisor in front of him and said, "The military advisor really doesn't know who they are waiting for?" They are waiting for my brother Xiao Sheng. ”

Ning Yu naturally knew it in his heart, but after all, that person was also his biological brother, even if he was close to the person in front of him, he couldn't compete with their blood relationship, so how could he mention it casually even if he was half his master.

Ning Yu was silent for a while, but still looked at the person in front of him and asked:

"What the second prince means is that before the eldest prince comes, he will attack Fengyang City or wait a little longer."

When he comes, it means that they will let Huai'an go, but they don't know if they miss this opportunity, they will have such a good opportunity in the future.

Xiao Ce pondered for a moment and was silent for a while, before he said:

"The terrain of Fengyang is originally easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that you also know her person."

From the time they first met, Xiao Ce was deeply impressed by her, and when they first met, they taught him unscrupulously in the prison how to force the king of Luoyang, Xiao Ce knew her skills very well in his heart.

Even if they take Fengyang City regardless of casualties, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, and now that everyone in the world is looking at this place, Xiao Ce can't let the Luoyang soldiers and horses he wield at this time be greatly damaged.

Now that they have all come here, of course he wants to attack this city, but he will not do his best now.

"Send Cheng An to call the battle tomorrow and see who the striker they are facing is."

Ning Yu thought about the person Li Hanning brought over this time:

"If there is no accident, it should still be Mo Zhao, Yanlu has met our hands before, and there are still injuries on his body, so he should not be used at this time."

Xiao Ce nodded and said: "He has been in his hands for so long, he should have raised almost it, and if there is a fight recently, let him be the first to go first, and follow him all the way, and it is good to have a chance to let him move his muscles and bones." ”

Ning Yu listened to his words, and smiled quietly:

"I'm just worried that he's going to be heavy for a while, and it's not light or heavy."

"It doesn't hurt." Xiao Ce said meaningfully: "Since the relationship between us and Huai'an has already started a war, it is inevitable that it will not be able to go back to the past, even if it is compared to other rebels. ”

Xiao Ce sighed heavily.

"What's going on in Luoyang lately?"

Ordinary soldiers and horses only have to worry about the enemy in front of them, unlike them, they have to worry about the enemy in front of them, and they also have to consider whether their own people will stick such a knife in the back.

Ning Yu mentioned that the people in Luoyang City naturally couldn't help but stagnate:

"Rumors are spreading in Luoyang City today, saying that if you have the help of God, the second son, you will be able to defeat Huai'an, who is brave and good at fighting along the way, and this time as long as you step through Fengyang, you will be able to defeat Huai'an in a few days."

Where do those people know what military deployment, what policies and strategies, the people just watch the excitement after dinner, plus Xiao Ce, who was originally their local in Luoyang, so as long as it is about him, it will spread more vigorously there, and Xiao Ce also guessed that the news can spread so quickly, and it is naturally indispensable to Huai'an.

But he also acquiesced.

"The eldest prince listened to those words, and I didn't feel very good when I thought about it, and my people in Luoyang heard that the eldest prince had gone to see the prince overnight last night, saying that he also wanted to contribute to Luoyang, and the prince was even sleepless in the study last night, and he would have a result in a few days."

Xiao Ce then looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Then what do you say will happen to my brother this time?" ”

Ning Yu said truthfully: "He should also come to the Luoyang army, this attack on Huai'an City was originally his idea, and the king of Luoyang will naturally favor him in this matter." ”

This is not surprising at all.

But Xiao Ce knew it in his heart: "I know my father and brother very well, this time he will come to the front to replace my position, and when he comes to the army, the commander this time is that he is not me." ”

It's not just going to be constrained everywhere.

It is very likely that he will be forced to attack Fengyang City.

Although Ning Yu had already prepared for the worst, he still comforted the person in front of him and said:

"You are also the son of the prince, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, so the prince may not treat you like this."

Xiao Ce shook his head and said thoughtfully: "My father may have thought of it, but he doesn't want to admit it, after all, my brother is the eldest son, and he will inherit his unification, in my father's eyes, it is naturally the most peaceful solution, I thought that the last time the imperial court soldiers and horses were not trapped in Luoyang, my father should have seen it clearly, but the last family banquet made me see the reality clearly." ”

He just didn't think that the person who should see the reality clearly was himself.

Although he and Xiao Sheng are siblings, there is only one person in some positions.

Therefore, if you don't solve the other party, if you don't solve the internal and external troubles, it will always be difficult to settle, not only Huai'an, but also his Luoyang has to go further.
