A man of resourcefulness
Ten days have passed, and Jiangzhou has still not been defeated.
From sunrise, the siege did not stop, the Jin army frantically attacked the city, the Fanhan troops besieged on all sides, and attacked the city wall many times under the leadership of the Hedong general, all of which were driven down by Zhang Cunjing and Wang Chongshi.
Even when the Jin army was tired, the city gate was wide open, and Wang Chongshi led his troops to rush out and burn many ladders and building cars.
Wang Chongshi once rushed to the front of Li Keyong's main camp, but was repelled by the Yi'er army under his tent.
In the past ten days, the Jin army suffered heavy losses, and even fled.
The vanguard of the Liang army had already appeared near Jiangshan in the south, and not only that, but the scouts detected the traces of Li Si'an's white army in the north.
The appearance of this cavalry has threatened the grain route used by Li Ke.
Bianzhou's intention was very obvious, sprinkling a large net in the river and using Jiangzhou to consume the morale of the Jin army.
Shatuo iron cavalry field invincible, but the siege of the city is somewhat unsatisfactory, to fight Li Cunxiao's Xingzhou, life and life spent a year, the Jin army has been tired, has not rested, and now non-stop into the river battlefield.
The Liang army was mostly foot soldiers, who were good at both attacking and defending cities.
As long as the defenders are stubborn and morale is high, the defenders have a great advantage.
Looking at the world, Zhu Wen is like the sky, and the morale of the Liang army is also like the sky.
No one in the military tent dared to face Li Keyong's one-eyed, including his eldest son Li Luoluo, who was the main battle.
Li Keyong's patience has reached the limit, "Jiangzhou is an iron city, and it should be fought now." “
"Don't worry, father, my son is willing to lead the righteous army of my headquarters to fight, and I can't take Jiangzhou, so I will see you!" Li Sizhao came out to ask for battle.
The Yi'er Army is the elite cultivated by Li Keyong more than ten years ago, and most of the generals of the Jin Army come from this army, including the world-famous Li Cunxiao.
Later, Li Cunxiao was in charge of the Crow Army, and Li Sizhao became the chief general of the Yi'er Army.
Li Keyong has not allowed this army to attack the city, just to cultivate their sharpness and leave it for Zhu Wen's army.
"Order the whole army to stop the siege." Li Keyong closed his one eye.
"Father!" Li Luo and other Shatuo generals shouted.
"Stay and everyone else." There was a rare tiredness in Like's tone.
He was so successful in the army that no one dared to speak anymore and left sullenly.
Soon there were only two people in the tent.
Li Keyong still closed his eyes, and Guo Chongtao didn't dare to come out.
After a long time, Li Ke let out a long sigh and opened his one eye, "I regret not listening to An Shi's words, so that I am in trouble today." “
Guo Chongtao didn't dare to say anything, he had already known the fatigue of the Jin army, if it wasn't for the soldiers not doing their best, if it was a decisive battle outside the city, Zhang Cunjing and Wang Chongshi would be defeated.
He thought that Zhu Wen had not shown up until now, because he was afraid of the strong field battle of the Shatuo Iron Cavalry, and tried to use Jiangzhou to consume the morale of the Jin army.
"Is there anything our army can do now to retreat to Qinzhou?" Rick's tone was unusually easygoing.
Guo Chongtao didn't dare to take it lightly, and his tone was still humble, "Since Li Si'an's Tabai Army appeared in the north, then there must be the main force of the Liang Army in the southwest, and our army is now retreating eastward, and it will inevitably be ambushed." “
"Could it be that our army can only wait for Zhu Wen to surround him on all sides?"
In the past 10 days, the situation in the entire river has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In fact, in Guo Chongtao's eyes, Hezhong is no longer possible, and it is the safest way to withdraw the army as soon as possible to retain strength.
But he knew that once he said it, even if Li Keyong didn't kill him, the Shatuo generals outside the tent would not let him go.
"It's better to be still than to be still, if our army doesn't attack the city, the Liang army will come back to provoke, and in the field outside the city, our army still has a good chance of winning, so accumulate morale with a small victory and rest the whole army."
Li Keyong's face improved slightly, "An Shi is really a wise and resourceful man." “
Having said that, Guo Chongtao is far from being as optimistic as he seems on the surface, and Zhu Wen is so immovable, which makes him uneasy, like a lurking poisonous snake, no
Know when to stick out your deadly fangs.
"The king, Zhu Quanzhong is menacing, for the sake of everything, the king also needs to contact Wang Ke of Hezhong Mansion and Tang Ting in Guanzhong to divide the momentum of the Liang army."
"Wang Ke, Tang Ting?" Rick furrowed his eyebrows.
The Hezhong Army was barely considered a strong army in the world when Wang Chongrong was in power, and Wang Chongying was okay, but in the hands of Wang Ke and Wang Qi's brothers, it was completely a waste.
As for Tang Ting, because of habit, Li Keyong didn't look at it much.
"Do Wang Ke and Tang Ting dare to do anything with Zhu Quanzhong?" This is the key, so far, Zhu Wen has not shown his ambitions for Hezhong Mansion and Guanzhong.
Guo Chongtao said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Zhu Quanzhong's wolf ambition, who in the world doesn't know?" Defeat our army, Hezhong, Guanzhong is its fish and meat, Wang Ke may not have the guts, but the emperor must know that it is powerful, and the last general will ask for orders to go to Chang'an to lobby the emperor to send troops. “
For the sake of the Jin army, Guo Chongtao can be regarded as doing his best.
Zhu Wen has attacked Huangchao, punished Qin Zongquan, defeated Sun Ru, and destroyed Shi Pu over the years, these people are all one of the best overlords in the world.
After the annexation of these forces, Zhu Wen's territory became larger and larger, and there were more and more elite soldiers.
Since Li Cunxiao's rebellion, the Jin army has suffered a great loss of vitality.
As the master of the Jin army, Li Keyong naturally knows that Zhu Wen is strong.
"If I go, who will teach me?" Li Keyong also gradually realized the importance of Guo Chongtao.
Fighting a war does not only rely on brute bravery, for so many years, the Shatuo army has fought in the south and the north, and the momentum is indeed greater, but the territory is not much bigger, but it is controlled by people everywhere, and it attracts the surrounding feudal towns to attack at every turn.
"The king only needs to go deep and high, recuperate, and the final general is sure that Zhu Quanzhong will not dare to fight a decisive battle."
Although the Jin army is at a disadvantage, it is not absolutely weak, and it is still too late to recuperate.
And once the Tang army enters the river, it can contain at least part of the Liang army's forces.
Changan.
Li Ye really had a headache.
"The concubine's mother family is just such two promising brothers, for so many years, she has worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty can't just let others bully you, spread it out, what face does the concubine have." Pei Zhen cried and cried, and while crying, she pulled Li Ye's hand and shook it.
"No one bullied him, now it's him who wants to bully others."
"Nonsense, without His Majesty's permission, Zhao Chongning dares to do this to our Pei family?" Pei Zhen was indiscriminate, and she had to rise to the Pei family and be bullied.
To others, Li Ye can still put on a face, but he really doesn't have the confidence to Pei Zhenyi, every time he wants to say something cruel, he can't help but think of the Pei family's charcoal in the snow.
"I'm asking you, is Pei Shu making his own decisions or being instructed by others, or is it what your Pei family means?"
Speaking of which, Pei Zhenyi also realized the seriousness of the problem, "Oh, how could the Pei family instruct Pei Shu?" My cousin, like Zhao Chongning, has a straight temper and likes to fight for others, perhaps instigated by others. “
Li Ye sneered: "Cui Zhaowei and Cui Ying are not moving, but your brother dares to jump out." “
As soon as Pei Zhen saw that Li Ye's tone was not good, her body suddenly softened and fell into Li Ye's arms, "Your Majesty, you have to speak with your conscience, my brother has no such intention." “
After all, she has shared the same bed, and Li Ye can't be ruthless to her, since it is not the Pei family's intention, then things will be easy to do.
It's okay to let them make a fuss, and the cow ghost and snake god will jump out by themselves.
Li Ye touched his conscience, "Ai Concubine, it's not early." ”
