299 Pursuit 2
"Your Majesty, the reason why Xiao Chen is mentioning this matter now is because Xiao Chen suspects that the cavalry that went north with us is among them. After dealing with each other for such a long time, I found that Lin Jianyue was very unusual. When you should be careful, you are like a turtle shell, you can't find any flaws at all, and when you should be bold, you dare to take risks desperately and yourself. Your Majesty, this is an opportunity, if you want to fight, go and fight the cavalry in the west. If the Immortal Heaven favors you, the opportunity to turn defeat into victory is just around the corner! ”
At this time, Zhuo Ligetu said: "Even if Lin Jianyue is really there, there will be elite foot soldiers behind him. There is a large army from Liaodong in the north, even if it will not all go south, it will be at least more than 200,000 people, and there will be hundreds of thousands of people behind. Your Majesty, the minister still suggests bypassing the big city of Xiongzhou, Baozhou, going north along the coast, and returning to the eastern grassland through the happy mouth, so it is the safest! ”
Batusu sighed: "If you don't go to Baozhou Xiongzhou, it is safe to detour, but it is too far, the east is barren, what do hundreds of thousands of troops eat?" We have to retreat quickly, and the military rations and horse materials we carry are limited. People say, what about horses? If you lose your war horse, you won't be able to get to the happy mouth. ”
Zhuo Ligetu was silent, and Li Chongshan looked in the direction of Lin Jianyue to the west.
Batusu suddenly understood, and he couldn't help but feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died in his heart.
Zhuo Ligetu didn't have so many strategic considerations, he just wanted to ensure that the main force of the cowardly Xue army was there, to ensure His Majesty's safety, and to ensure that His Majesty returned to the grassland smoothly, and Your Majesty, Batusu knew that he still wanted to go to the Jedi to fight back.
As for what will happen to the rest of the troops, no one cares anymore.
Since the beginning of the first emperor, Batusu has been following the campaign, and because of his strong ability, he was promoted quickly. But the background is just a small tribe, all relying on the protection and reuse of Li Chongshan's father and son, it has reached the status of one person under ten thousand people today, and his own tribe is also expanding and growing. Now that this is the case, well, it's time for me Batusu to repay the favor with death.
Batusu resolutely said to Li Chongshan: "Your Majesty, the world says that I Batusu is the god of war, but in fact, it is just the trust and reuse of Your Majesty and the first emperor. Now there is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and we must not let it go, and of course, Your Majesty's safety must also be guaranteed. ”
Li Chongshan seemed to know what Batusu was going to say, his eyes were a little moist, but he just watched Batusu not speak, and he was moved, guilty, and sad repeatedly intertwined.
"The minister will exchange troops with General Li Yan, and lead 200,000 cavalry to the south with only seven days of dry food to snipe Sun Zhengyi, so as to buy time for His Majesty to annihilate Lin Jianyue and retreat from the east, and the rest of the baggage will be handed over to General Li Yan. Your Majesty, the minister may no longer be able to serve His Majesty, and I hope that His Majesty will send someone to inform the minister when he returns. Your Majesty, take care, farewell minister! ”
Batusu, who had gray hair, knelt down and kowtowed, Li Chongshan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, choked and said: "Marshal Ba, I also grew up with you, like father and son, how can I let you do this, how can I be willing to let you do this?" You are my protector! Can't you let someone else go? ”
"Sun Zhengyi is the most capable general of the unified army under Lin Jianyue, ordinary people can't deal with it, and he can't delay much time, Xiaochen is the god of war! I have to go to make a difference. ”
Batusu then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister will not be able to come back, although we are at a disadvantage now, it's not that we can't fight, let alone defeat Sun Zhengyi and them, it's just to drag them down, the minister has a way, maybe he can bring some people back, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much." ”
Liu Jiahao did not continue to go south for the time being, but quickly sent an order to Xiongzhou, Baozhou, and ordered Wu Zhong and Guo to arrange the city defense, and each brought 50,000 of the most skilled infantry to the south immediately, and waited for His Royal Highness to arrive in Wangdu County.
Liu Bingyun and Liu Hesheng didn't stop all the way, let alone rest, and finally caught up with Lin Jianyue near the draft city in the east of Zhending Mansion.
Seeing that the two of them were too tired to become humans, and their subordinates were even more staggered, Lin Jianyue immediately arranged for Liu Yu, who commanded the cavalry, to take them to rest, and even temporarily stopped the march.
As a result, only an hour or two later, Liu Bingyun took Liu Hesheng to find Lin Jianyue again and asked to continue the march.
Lin Jianyue comforted them: "You don't have to worry, we have received the news, we have few people, and no one is harassing behind the buttocks, so we have taken a shortcut, and we have already rushed in front of Li Chongshan." ”
"I don't know how His Highness plans to intercept Li Chongshan's main force? We are only in our early 100,000s, and no matter how strong we are, we can't stop it. ”
"I have quickly informed Liu Jiahao that he also led more than 100,000 cavalry through Baozhou, and I have told him that I will go to Wangdu County in the southwest of Baozhou first, and if there is enough time, he will come to join me, maybe he will bring some heavy infantry, don't worry."
"How did His Highness know that Li Chongshan would definitely go to Wangdu County?"
Lin Jianyue said with a smile: "Although the Jizhong Plain is large, the scouts on both sides are intertwined, everywhere, and the killing is incomplete, with such a big movement, how could Li Chongshan not know that I am here?" I even wore the gold armor you made for me! They will come. ”
Liu Bingyun's face was pale, and he didn't know if he was tired, so he couldn't speak, and after a while, he said with some ecstasy: "With Sun Zhengyi and Li Fei following behind, they may not dare to come!" ”
Lin Jianyue shook his head: "As a ruler, Li Chongshan's thoughts should be the same as mine, even if he wants to leave, he must give the Han people a heavy blow, killing me is his last and best chance, if I die, the Han people will be in chaos, and they will not be able to go out of the Great Wall to continue to fight him, and they will have a chance to make a comeback." If I were him, I would come, but it would be a matter of what the price was paid. Batusu is very capable and will definitely find a way to hit me. ”
Liu Bingyun was speechless for a while, and then hurriedly said: "It's all like this, don't delay, let's go quickly!" Liu Hesheng immediately arranged for someone to go back and tell Xing Fengchi that the troops behind him would not all come...... There were 50,000 people, one person and two horses, only dry food, and they didn't rest halfway, and they rushed to Wangdu day and night. If your Highness arrives within three days, they will die! ”
Lin Jianyue hurriedly stopped: "It's also a tired soldier to come like this, it's just a waste of death, don't do this." ”
"No, Your Highness, what kind of troops is the Jinning Army? It was the first army of the Longjie Army before, what battle had you not seen? Your Highness is to trust in their abilities. ”
didn't wait for Lin Jianyue to answer, and immediately yelled at Liu Hesheng: "Don't go yet!" His Highness has agreed! ”
Lin Jianyue: "I ......"
Who knew that Liu Bingyun interrupted Lin Jianyue and continued to say to Liu Yu: "Don't be stunned, quickly send someone to find Liu Jiahao, and ask him to bring more grain and grass to Wangdu County, if possible, how much city defense equipment can bring!" ”
Xingfengchi and Liu Yu are all from the Liu family, and Liu Hesheng is also used to scolding, Liu Bingyun looks extremely domineering, making Lin Jianyue cry and laugh.
"Your Highness, let's set off immediately, don't rest much, and go directly to Wangdu County."
Liu Bingyun's prudence filled the last loophole in Lin Jianyue's plan, and Li Chongshan's plan to intercept Lin Jianyue day and night failed.
