Chapter 165: Li Chong's Decision

Only stayed in Hucheng for one night, and did not delay the time, Chen Jing took the three hundred horsemen in his hand and began to rush back to Fenglong Pass.

Along the way, thanks to victories in previous encounters. The patrol horses of the Di people have been much reduced. Even if you want to be new, it will take two or three days. This is also the reason why Zhong Lu asked him to hurry back.

"Look, boss."

ran wildly all the way, and when Chen Jing raised his head, his heart was inexplicably shocked. As far as his eyes could see, the Wind Dragon Pass in front of him had already revealed a shallow outline, like a long winding dragon in the desert, looming.

"Back to the customsβ€”"

……

Li Chong stood on the city wall of the main pass of the wind dragon, his face was full of vicissitudes of life.

"Master Hou, the messenger Chen Jing has returned, and he asks to see him at the gate."

Li Chong's eyes blinked silently before nodding slowly. This time the messenger can be regarded as a dangerous journey. I heard that they also won an encounter.

Come to think of it, that Chen Jing is a person with some ability.

Li Chong waved his hand, and after a while, the guards brought Chen Jing up.

"Chen Jing, the sentry general of the Fuzhuang camp, see the coach."

"No need to be polite."

Li Chong turned his head, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the little sentinel in front of him. When leaving the capital, the big gentleman had intentionally or unintentionally recommended the person in front of him. In his tone, he seemed to regard this person as a wise man.

"Master Hou, this is the handwritten letter that the Lord of Hucheng will bring to Master Hou."

Not daring to hold it up, Chen Jing held the handbook and handed it to Li Chong. He had heard that the loyal and brave marquis in front of him, just in terms of military exploits, was afraid that he was the only one in the dynasty, and he couldn't even compare to Xu Wuzun.

"There is labor." After taking the handbook, Li Chong did not open it, but continued to raise his head and look at Chen Jing.

"I received information that not far outside Hucheng, Zhong Lu and the Beidi people fought an encounter."

"Yes."

"Chen Jing, you can elaborate."

Chen Jing sorted out his words, without hypocrisy, 1510, and told the story of the encounter.

"What do you mean is that you took more than 300 horsemen and repelled more than 500 horsemen of the Di people?"

"Exactly, take advantage of the terrain of the dunes to swoop."

Li Chong narrowed his eyes, "Chen Jing, you have some meaning." But along the way, when you were running to Hucheng, didn't you meet the patrol riders of the Di people? ”

Chen Jing exhaled and calmly said the matter of Shilin. It's not that he wants military merits, but according to Mr. Big's layout, he wants to find a seat in Li Chong's Chinese military tent.

"Stone as a wall? But a hundred horsemen, you can hold off for a few hours, waiting for reinforcements from Hucheng to arrive? ”

"On the battlefield, it is not advisable to stick to the rules."

"Chen Jing, you are very good." Li Chong exhaled and finally smiled, "No wonder, Mr. Big would recommend you like this." At this time, if I summon you into the account and be a staff member, what do you think? ”

"Go to the national disaster together, and be willing to give advice to the Hou Ye." Chen Jing hurriedly clenched his fists.

"The 200,000 troops going to the north really need a think tank to deal with the Shenlu national division of Beidi. But I had looked at all the people in the tent, but none of them were able to do so. ”

Shenlu National Teacher, wisdom all over the world. This time the battle to the north was a fight with Hao Lianxiong, the prince of Di Kingdom, on the surface, but in secret, it was actually a contest with the Shenlu National Teacher.

"Chen Jing, but I'm ...... now I don't want you to enter the military tent for the time being. ”

Chen Jing looked up, his face a little stunned. I took off my pants, and I saw that I was lying down, Lao Li, you just pulled this?

Li Chong still smiled, "You are the person recommended by Mr. Big, I must be relieved, you have also guessed, the matter of the previous messenger is more of a test." But listen to me, don't take the lead for the time being, I'll keep you, it will be of great use. ”

"Master Hou, what's the use?"

Li Chong was silent for a while, "Listen to me first, recently there has been a holy order urging war from the court." You also understand that this joint trip to the national disaster carries the hope of the entire Central Plains. But even so, I don't want to go out of the final battle at will, otherwise, I will fall into the trap of the Di people. These Di people wish I would go out on an expedition and fight them on the flat sand. ”

Outside the Fenglong Pass, there is an endless desert, and fighting in this kind of place is undoubtedly the Di people who have the upper hand.

"Master Hou, if it's an expedition, our chances of winning are very small." Chen Jing said seriously.

"I understand." Li Chong closed his eyes and nodded, "This is a kind of dead end, you want to defend it, but the public opinion of the court and the Central Plains does not allow it." In the Chinese military tent, my every move will be watched by many military staff. ”

Chen Jing didn't speak, quietly listening to Li Chong's plan.

"Chen Jing, behind the Wind Dragon Pass, do you know where it is."

"When I went to the north, I saw that it was Changhe Pass."

"Over there at Changhe Pass, I've already asked people to repair it." Li Chong's voice remained unchanged.

But this sentence made Chen Jing listen to it, and his heart was shocked for a while. He vaguely understood what Li Chong was going to do.

"In Fenglong Pass, there are more than 10,000 prisoners, and in the near future, I will issue armor and make them soldiers."

"Master Hou, what am I going to do?"

Li Chong's eyes were calm, "Take charge of an army alone and go around the Fenglong Pass." ”

"How many?"

"10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry. This is me...... can hide the maximum strength of those military staff. When the situation is chaotic and you take the opportunity to get out of the customs, you need to follow my orders and immediately hibernate into hibernation. Even if you meet the robe and fight to the death, you can't expose it. ”

"Where's Master Hou?"

"Me? Naturally, the army was defeated like a mountain and retreated to the Changhe Pass. It is equivalent to letting the wind dragon pass out. ”

"If the tide of battle changes......

"Then we will die together." Li Chong's voice remained unchanged, "You also know that it is impossible for the 200,000 troops to go to the north to win the Di people." What's more, there is also a Shenlu national teacher in the Di army. ”

Chen Jing lowered his head, Li Chong's strategy, he probably understood a little. To be honest, it was an extremely risky plan.

"Chen Jing, this time the responsibility is very great. But I can't think of a second person other than you. ”

……

At dusk, Chen Jing, who walked down from the city wall, only felt a little cold.

But as Li Chong said, this battle to the north is a national disaster, if it is defeated, the entire Central Plains will no longer be able to unite such a people's heart.

It's a pity that on the surface, the 200,000 troops who went to the north were not the opponents of the Di people. Only by being surprising can we win a glimmer of life.

Walking to the city wall, Chen Jing raised his head and looked at the prisoners, who were still numbly repairing the city gates. These people didn't know that it wouldn't be long before they would become Li Chong's meat army as a lure to the enemy.

Chen Jing asked himself, with his current status, he couldn't change Li Chong's decision at all. The only thing is to live to the death and break the deadlock in the battle to the north.
