Seeing Li Xian's loyal and pleading appearance, Li Rubai nodded with satisfaction and said: "Although Hetuara is only a small city, it is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountain roads are rugged and narrow, and it is difficult for large troops to perform at all, which is also the main reason why Yang Jingluo chose to divide his troops into four routes. ”

"The Raven Pass seems to be very close to Hetuala, but it is blocked by high mountains and mountains, and the cavalry has to make an additional fifty or sixty miles of mountain roads to reach Hetuala; Unless you abandon the horse and go over the mountain, conquer the dangerous Wuji Pass, where the cliffs hug each other, can only allow one person to walk, riding can not be done, it can be said that a husband is a pass. ”

"Salhu is only 120 miles away from Hetuala, and the cavalry of Jianyu can rush back in about half a day, and if you use infantry to raid, you will not be able to defeat Wuji Pass for a while and a half. The use of cavalry will delay more time, and I am afraid that it will not be too late to take Hetuala. ”

Li Xianzhong suddenly realized at this time, and said: "No wonder Nurha dared to ignore the safety of Hetuala, and dispatched the main force to annihilate our Western Route Army first. The child thought ......"

Li Rubai said: "Do you still think that your eldest brother colluded with Jianyu to reach some tacit agreement with them? ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Xianzhong's fair face instantly turned red, and he said: "It's the child who misunderstood the eldest brother, and he must apologize to the eldest brother in person." ”

Li Rubai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although my Li family did not collude with Jianjiao, there must be a lot of their spies in this camp, if you are ordered to directly lead the army to attack, the Tartars will definitely get the news in advance, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to achieve the effect of a sneak attack, it is better to simply use your contradictions to make a fuss, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”

At this time, the main force of the Ming army was ready to set off, and the soldiers dismantled their tents, picked up their weapons, and brought dry food. The wagons were loaded with all kinds of provisions, food and grass needed by the army, and even the artillery convoy had already loaded the guns into the wagons.

Yan Mingtai, the supervising army, is leading people to inspect the situation of the camp, although the progress of the Southern Route Army has been slow before, but fortunately, the army is finally about to start, and he, the supervising army, can also feel a little at ease.

Although the battle situation has not yet been finally confirmed, the news of the rout of the Western Route Army is really worrying, and it also casts a shadow on the departure of this army.

At this time, he noticed that many soldiers were talking to each other, so he leaned in. I only heard one person say: "Have you heard, the Western Route Army has been completely annihilated, and even the 'Du Maniac' has been killed in battle." ”

Another person said: "Isn't it, the Western Route Army is the most elite of the way, if even they are defeated, how we should face the Tartars next, it is only a matter of whether the news is reliable......"

Yan Mingtai's face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly found Li Rubai and said: "Marshal Qiqi, I don't know who leaked the news of the possible battle report of the Western Route Army, and now it has been spread all over the camp, which has a great impact on the morale of our army. ”

After hearing the news, Li Rubai was furious and gathered the generals who had been discussed before.

said sharply: "Now that the army is about to leave, who spread the news of the defeat of the Western Route Army?" This is disturbing the morale of the army, and its crime should be beheaded! ”

The words fell, and the generals also looked at each other, and they were naturally clear about the importance of it, which disturbed the morale of the army was not a joke.

Everyone looked around, this one by one was either a confidant general who had followed the Li family for many years, or an old man who had been fighting in Liao Town for many years, and they really couldn't figure out who acted as the internal commander of Jianjiao to disturb the morale of the army here.

At this time, Li Rubai said: "Can Li Huaizhong, the general of Yizhou? ”

When he was named by Li Rubai, Li Huaizhong secretly said that it was not good, and his father couldn't catch the culprit, so he was ready to use himself to deter these people.

So he came out and said: "The last general, I don't know what the commander commands?" ”

Li Rubai said: "Li Huaizhong, the general of Yizhou, you are responsible for the defense of the battalion; Now rumors are rife in the camp, and the turmoil in the army's heart is due to your unfavorable supervision, can you be guilty? ”

Sure enough, the old man wanted to cut himself, although he was wronged, Li Huaizhong still knelt down on one knee, gritted his teeth and said: "The last general is derelict in his duties, so that he gives the spy a chance to take advantage of it, and he is willing to be punished!" ”

Li Rubai said: "Since you confessed, then Ben Shuai will beat you with 40 military sticks, and assign your 1,000 iron cavalry to Li Xianzhong's command, do you have any objections?" ”

Li Huaizhong really wanted to scold his mother in his heart, his father was too partial. Even if Li Xianzhong, this kid is the illegitimate son of your guy, it is the blood of my Li family; But I'm your eldest son, so I can't be so favoritistic, right?

When his grandfather Li Chengliang was there, the Li family was rampant and domineering in Liaodong with the 8,000 families in their hands. It's a pity that after resisting the Japanese and aiding the dynasty, the Li family suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only 3,000 people, 2,000 iron cavalry, and 1,000 heavy armored infantry. Originally, Li Xianzhong, a guerrilla general, commanded a thousand cavalry, and now another 1,000 people are allocated to him, which means that all the cavalry elites of the Li family are in the hands of this kid.

Seeing that Li Huaizhong didn't respond for a long time, Li Rubai raised his voice and said, "What, are you going to disobey the commander's order?" ”

Seeing that Li Rubai was about to get angry, Li Huaizhong had no choice but to say: "The last general is willing to be punished!" ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong stood up and said: "The army is about to start, and it may be inappropriate to beat General Li at this time, and I also ask my father to remember his past exploits and allow him to make meritorious contributions!" ”

This is actually Li Rubai's family matter, and the generals are naturally not good at interfering, but since Li Xianzhong took the lead, the others also echoed: "Please also ask the marshal to allow General Li to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Since everyone gave him the steps, Li Rubai was fortunate to borrow the donkey from the slope, after all, he didn't really want to beat his son. said: "For the sake of the generals interceding for you, Ben Shuai will open the net first, and write down your 40 military sticks for the time being." The army will be drawn as soon as it finishes eating, giving you half an hour to quell the rumors in the army! ”

Li Huaizhong didn't know what his father and Li Xianzhong discussed, but it was obvious that taking away his 1,000 family members was the result of their discussion, and at this time he looked at Li Xianzhong's eyes with fire.

All this was seen by He Yiming, although he secretly spread the "defeat of the Western Route Army" and did it very secretly, but there are many eyes and ears of the Li family in this battalion, and it is only a matter of time before he really wants to track it down.

It seems that he still has to try to make the Ming army more chaotic, so that he can have a chance to get out.

Soon he found Li Huaizhong and said: "The last general Guangning guerrilla He Yiming, meet General Li!" ”

Li Huaizhong has a little impression of this person, he is also an old man in Liaozhen, but this person has never had much to do with the Li family, so he said: "What is the matter with He Guerrilla looking for this general?" ”

He Yiming said with a smile: "Of course, the last general is here to calm down the rumors in the army for the general. ”
