Chapter 303: In Charge
After Li Huai had breakfast, he found Ge Liang and talked with him all morning, and no one knew what they had talked about.
In the next few days, there was nothing to do, and every day was practice, eating, working, eating, practicing, eating, and sleeping.
On this day, the north wind blew all night, and during the day there was a small autumn rain, and the temperature dropped sharply, expelling the heat and bringing a little coolness.
But you can't put away your summer clothes and change to a big sun tomorrow, and you may be back to summer overnight.
"Lord Wang, an urgent letter from Longxi County." Lou Xiaowan found Li Huai and handed over a letter.
Since the Gaochang royal department began to do things, Li Huai ordered Longxi County to send all matters, no matter how big or small, to the royal court as soon as possible.
Count the days.
His letter to the Holy Court of Light should have arrived, and I don't know how they would react, but no matter what the reaction was, it would take four or five days at the earliest to receive a reply.
Li Huai opened the expedited letter from Longxi County, glanced at the contents on it, and couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong?" Lou Xiaowan asked.
"Chun Yu Yuexin has replenished 40,000 troops, and Chen has nearly 150,000 soldiers on the border of Longxi County, so he seems to be in a bit of a hurry." Li Huai said indifferently.
In terms of military strength alone.
The Liang army was only a little more than 110,000 in total, less than 120,000, and they had to defend Helan Mountain, as well as the throat of Hexi and the Jingtai area.
Those who can be transferred to Longxi County will not exceed 80,000.
80,000 against 150,000, nearly double the disadvantage.
How is this battle going to be fought?
But it's not that it can't be fought, the whole army of the Liang Army is professional, has a very high combat quality, is well-equipped, and has efficient logistics support.
The Gaochang royal department, a professional army, will not exceed 30,000, most of them are half-cultivated and semi-military miscellaneous soldiers, and even some are temporarily requisitioned militia.
One hundred and fifty thousand!
Hehe!
"If you really want to fight, can you afford it?" Li Huai sneered, turned around and bowed over the desk and wrote two letters.
"Li Xin!"
"The minister is here!"
"Send a herald to send this letter to Helan Mountain and hand it over to Su Ding." Li Huaixian gave him a letter.
Then he took out another letter and handed him the talisman together, "You go to the Zhenguo Army in person, and after the match, give the letter to Qi Yuanbai, and then rush back." ”
"Yes!"
Li Xin did not hesitate, and after taking the letter, he set off immediately.
The content of these two letters is very simple, first of all, to give Su Ding absolute command in Hexi, which can be played first, without reporting everything, and should take the fighter first.
The second letter was even simpler, simply ordering Qi Yuanbai to open and prepare to support the Longxi battlefield.
"Xiao Wan, help me pack my clothes, inform the White Horse Rebels, prepare in two hours, and open at any time." Li Huai commanded.
"Yes."
Lou Xiaowan nodded, just took two steps, and turned back again, "Lord Wang, are you really going to fight?" ”
"I don't know, then we have to prepare for a decisive battle." Li Huai replied lightly, and urged her to go quickly.
He didn't want to fight now, but war could break out at any time, and he had to go to Longxi County in person to feel at ease.
And it is a world that goes right away, and it is a late breath, there may be variables.
Soon.
Shangguan Keke and Hua Qingyue heard the news and rushed over, didn't say much gossip, and helped pack up their things.
By the time Li Xin came back, Li Huai had already changed into the Liangjun military uniform.
He understands everything.
"I'll get ready right away."
Pack everything.
"Keke, everything in the family will be handed over to you, if you can't pay attention, you can call Ge Liang and Huang Minghui to discuss, Ge Liang has a stubborn personality and wants to say it with reason, Huang Minghui has a reckless personality and wants to argue with reason." Li Huai instructed.
Shangguan Keke nodded lightly, "The concubine knows." ”
Syllable!
Li Huai gave Shangguan and Xiaowan a kiss respectively, and set off immediately, why didn't Hua Qingyue go?
Because, Li Huai plans to take her away.
Hua Qingyue will take care of people, not to mention, she is still a Mahayana realm martial artist, you must bring it!
……
Bang!
Li Huai led three thousand white horse rebels out of Liangcheng, without concealment, and the whole city saw it.
Soon.
All sorts of news began to spread.
Thinking of what happened on the border, everyone speculated that there must be a war.
The hearts of ordinary people also hung in the air, because their husbands, sons, and brothers were among the Liang army.
As for those family gate lords, after the victory of Jingtai, they are still not optimistic about the Liang army, thinking that this battle is more auspicious and less auspicious.
Especially after analysis, whether it is the number of the two armies or the combat experience, the Liang army cannot compare.
What's more, now Liangzhou has been completely banned, and the Liang army is fighting alone, and can beat the Western Regions Iron Cavalry?
Eighty percent will fail!
However, when they calculated this result, they were not very sad, and they did not have the consciousness that the country rose and fell, and the husband was responsible.
They thought, isn't this a good time to run!
Li Huai first deprived them of their privileges by law, and then had no money to make, and now he wants to completely remove them from the regime.
If they continue to stay in Liangzhou, within three generations, or even this generation, they will have to become civilians.
Don't leave now, but when.
Moreover.
Shen Tuzai was already in Guanzhong and was ready to receive him, and he dared to do so, naturally with Li Gan's permission.
However, Shen Slaughter is a little difficult at the moment, seeing that the battle of Liangzhou is imminent, at this time, the bottom of the kettle is drawn, which is ...... Not so good.
He didn't like Li Huai, and even hated Li Huai, however, he was also a soldier of Yu State.
The Western Regions are coming.
If you don't help, you don't say anything, and you stab you in the back, which is really not the work of a soldier.
Think about it.
Shen Tuzai sent a messenger to Luoyang in a hurry of six hundred miles to listen to the king's will. At the same time, he also sent a letter to Li Huai.
Guanzhong and Liangzhou are adjacent to each other, the distance is only a few hundred miles, and it only takes one day to fast horses, but Li Huai opened up, which took one more day.
When Shen Tu's letter was delivered to Li Huai, Li Huai had already entered Longxi City, stayed for a long time, and then went out of the city again, and set up camp in the northwest of Longxi City, more than 20 miles.
Tie Mu, Mu Yin, the old patriarch, the four elders, and Yan Gaoyang all came to the king's tent.
Tie Mu came almost alone, and his eight thousand blood wolf hussars were stationed in the south of Longxi City, and after discussion, he had to go back immediately.
Yan Gaoyang brought over two Shenwei artillery battalions, and the other battalion was in Hexi, and the command was handed over to Su Ding.
The old patriarch and Mu Yin also organized a mixed militia group of 10,000 people, all of whom were composed of the Night Wolf Clan.
According to them, it is to defend their homeland, their people, when the first drop of blood is shed.
Li Huai didn't stop it.
The Zhenguo army led by Qi Yuanbai crossed the Yellow River in Beidi County and became neighbors with the main force of the Gaochang Wangbu.
There is also half of the troops drawn from the Dingxi Army, which is marching towards the royal tent, and it is expected to arrive tonight.
Li Huaigang was just about to start the pre-war meeting, and a letter from Shen Tu came.
"Why is this guy writing at this time?"
Li Huai decided to read his letter first, and it didn't take long, but after reading it, he smiled indifferently.
"It's a waste of time."
Li Huai put the letter back in its original envelope, handed it to the messenger, and asked him to take it back like this, which was his reply to Shen Tuzai.
If those family gate valves want to leave, let them go, why stop them, don't let them go at this time, and they won't be able to drive away when the time comes.
Shen Tuzai sent this letter, should he think that he had good intentions, but he couldn't help at all.
Wrong.
It's not that he can't help, it's that he doesn't want to help.
Li Huai also doesn't like to beg for help, just fight alone, he has to let the world open their eyes to see, the Liang army is no worse than any army!
Then he turned around and entered the king's tent, which was also a temporary war room, a general command room, and a general conference room.
In addition to some of the people mentioned above, there are also the staff that Li Huai brought from Liangzhou, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and a group of Liangwang adjutants, almost all of whom are confidants of the prince in the past, and Li Huai is very familiar with them.
In the middle of the king's tent, there was a sand table, and a huge map was hung in the innermost, and everyone was around the sand table.
Li Huai came to the giant map, facing the sand table.
"See the Cool King!"
Everyone bowed their hands together.
"No courtesy."
Li Huai waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the current situation first." ”
He walked to the side.
"Yes!"
Three lieutenants stepped forward, two of them came to the sand table, one with a pole and the other with a small red and blue flag.
One of the remaining people stood in front of the giant map with a pole.
The one who is the Lord is the one who bears the pole before the sand table.
"Based on the information obtained by our army, as well as the information obtained from the reconnaissance of our army's scouts, as well as the analysis of our army, the current battle situation is explained as follows."
He held the materials he had prepared before the meeting in one hand and pointed to the sand table with a pole in the other.
"The main force of the Gaochang royal army, about 150,000 people, is all stationed on the west bank of the Yellow River, equipped with sufficient forcible weapons, and can cross the river at any time to invade our Longxi County."
"The forcible crossing location may be, Shangzhuang, Xiazhuang, Shangtan, these three positions, Shangtan is the farthest distance, mainly cavalry. Xiazhuang is dominated by infantry, and this place is likely to be a pinning point for the enemy. Chun Yuyue is in Shangzhuang, and obvious fortifications can be seen in Shangzhuang, including eighteen visible artillery groups and countless hidden artillery groups......"
"Our army is on the east bank of the Yellow River and has no defense."
According to what he said, the deputy planted the corresponding flags in the position he pointed to, the red flag was the Liang army, the blue flag was the enemy army, and the key army, such as the Dingxi army, had the word 'Ding' on the flag.
The third man, the one under the giant map, also used a pole to point out the location on the map when he spoke, so that everyone could understand.
In this way, everyone will be clear about the situation.
"Where is Tu Nao?" Li Huai didn't find it on the map, so he asked, this guy is in the middle of Jingtai, but it gave him a lot of pressure.
After the adjutant glanced at the information, he raised his head and replied: "Back to the prince, I didn't find Tu Nao's location." ”
Maybe he covered up the flag.
This is also normal.
Li Huai returned to the top of the sand table, glanced around at everyone, and said: "This battle, either inevitable or a false alarm, we must all fight with the spirit of twelve points, and the whole army will enter the battle state!" ”
