Li Jiangxiao was originally a general sent by the Tang Dynasty to the south to garrison the south bank of the Tianjiang River, and was responsible for commanding troops to guard the three cities of Linjiang, Wangjiang, and Songjiang on the south bank.

When the demon clan marched north, he also led the army to resist the demon army, but the demon clan had an advantage in terms of strength and strength, and finally Li Jiangxiao was defeated and captured, in order to protect the people along the river, he chose to lead the army and the people into the demon clan's forbidden paddock together.

It can be said that the people in the enclosure paddock in Linjiang now, thanks to Li Jiangxiao leading the troops into the enclosure enclosure together, otherwise under the killing of the young demon warriors sent by the demon clan to train again and again, the people in the enclosure are afraid that they have already died, and it is almost impossible for the elderly, women and children to survive.

Now that he has been rescued from the enclosure paddock, Li Jiangxiao can be said to be excited, and he can't wait to immediately lead the troops to fight with the demon clan and drive the demon clan's army back to southern Xinjiang.

Hearing that Lucius asked them to lead a large army to attack the three small cities south of Linjiang City, Li Jiangxiao agreed with a full mouth, and at the same time took the initiative to ask Ying to directly lead the troops to attack Songjiang City.

However, Lucius did not agree: "No, Songjiang City is upstream, we can't move it for the time being, I think the situation over there is more complicated, our goal is to build three small cities in the south, and then wave our troops to the east to recapture Wangjiang City in the east." ”

The generals under Li Jiangxiao's command were very puzzled by Lu Xiusius's plan, so someone stood up and said bluntly: "My lord, why don't we attack Songjiang City, Songjiang City is located at a node of the Tianjiang Waterway, it can be said that it runs through the upstream and downstream of the Tianjiang Waterway, if we capture Songjiang City, we can use Songjiang City as a fulcrum and spread around." ”

I have to say. These generals of the Tang Dynasty are all good at attacking, and their grasp of the terrain and situation is very accurate.

In addition, they are stationed along the Tianjiang River all the year round, so they naturally know the situation in the upper and lower reaches of the Tianjiang River very well, and they know some key cities in the Tianjiang River, and their vision is also very unique and accurate.

Songjiang Castle is located at a node in the waters of the Tianjiang River, and several tributaries of the Tianjiang River just pass through Songjiang Castle, so it can be said that it occupies Songjiang Castle, and several tributaries of the Tianjiang River pass through Guò, and can launch an attack on the surrounding area very smoothly. It is even possible to go directly into the south.

From a strategic point of view, it is indeed very important to take Songjiang City, as long as Songjiang City is taken, it is almost equivalent to controlling the waters in the middle section of the Tianjiang River.

But Lecius had other ideas, and directly denied the thoughts of those generals along the Tianjiang River: "No, we can't move Songjiang City now, because since it is an important node, the troops responsible for guarding Songjiang City must be very sufficient, and we will be very passive if we attack rashly." ”

Lecius explains. It made those generals silent, these generals present were not fools, they were able to be sent to Tianjiang to garrison, and they also relied on the military merits accumulated before.

According to the rules of the Tang Army. Each of them has experienced many wars, large and small, and some of them even confronted the demons in the north and the ice field for many years before they changed their guards and came to Tianjiang.

It can be said that they all have very rich combat experience, and they naturally know the strength of the demon army. The combat power of those demon clans is indeed much stronger than them, if Songjiang City is really heavily guarded, then with their current strength. It is absolutely impossible to storm Matsue Castle.

Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Lucius continued: "Moreover, if we attack Songjiang City, whether we succeed or not, we will be exposed, and it will attract a large number of demon army to attack, before we get in touch with Jiangbei, I think we should try to keep a low profile." ”

Li Jiangxiao very much agreed with Lucius's statement, and first spoke: "Yes, I agree with His Highness Lucius's statement, our current strength is not enough to deal with the attack of the demon clan, so we should try to keep a low profile and hide some of our strength." ”

Hearing that Li Jiangxiao spoke, naturally the other generals did not have any objections, after all, Li Jiangxiao was the highest here in terms of seniority and official position, and naturally everyone had to obey his words.

Then Li Jiangxiao looked at Lucius again and asked, "Your Highness Lucius, how do you think we should attack the three cities in the south?"

Hearing this question, Lucius looked at Li Jiangxiao with deep meaning, and from this sentence, Lucius could hear that Li Jiangxiao was not convinced by himself, and it seemed that he agreed with his opinion, but from Li Jiangxiao's words, he could still clearly feel the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Lucius naturally knew very well the reason for the other party's dissatisfaction, but he still saw that he was too young and a person from a foreign land, so he instinctively resisted himself.

However, he didn't care about these Lucius, he responded directly with a smile: "General Li, you are the commander of the army on the south bank of the Tianjiang River, before you came, the second sage also praised your ability in front of me, I think you should have a way to conquer the three small cities in the south, right?"

Lu Xiusi directly threw the question back and put a high hat on Li Jiangxiao, but Li Jiangxiao smiled and said: "Hehe, that is the Holy Emperor Xià and the Holy Empress Niangniang who promoted Li, in fact, Li is just a housekeeper who takes care of the Jiangnan army for the second saint." ”

After a pause, Li Jiangxiao's tone became extremely regretful, "Hey, this time the demon clan is coming, Li and the demon clan have fought hard to no avail, and I deeply feel the lack of my own ability, fortunately, Your Royal Highness, the second holy general, you are here, presumably Your Highness, you are young and promising, and you will definitely be able to lead us to regain the lost land in Jiangnan." ”

Li Jiangxiao's words are equivalent to once again taking Lucius into the army, and it can be said that the words contain-for-tat, which can be regarded as a clear indication that he is not convinced by the commander of Lucius.

Frowning slightly, Lucius didn't say anything, and suddenly he raised his back and laughed, the laughter seemed to mock the generals present, which sounded particularly harsh.

Some of the generals present quickly became angry and stood up and asked Lecius: "What are you laughing at? Do you think our handsome words are funny?"

Lucius stood up and still responded with a smile: "I think it's ridiculous, General Li would belittle himself so much, I didn't expect that just the invasion of the abnormal demon clan would make the generals of the Tang Dynasty so timid, and the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress Niangniang also told me that the generals of the Tang Dynasty, even in the face of danger, will never be discouraged." Will show enough courage to fight against the demon clan. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xius looked around at everyone: "But look at you, you are all like now, hehe, I really think that His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress Niangniang have seen the wrong person, and even you don't have confidence in yourself, how can Datang defeat the demon clan?"

Lu Xiusius's words made the generals speechless, and Li Jiangxiao felt even more embarrassed, remembering his previous words. suddenly felt that he was just because he resisted Lucius, and he actually said such a thing, which really lost the face of the Tang generals.

The other generals present also heard the meaning of Lucius's words, and they were all ashamed, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads to face Lucius.

Seeing that everyone fell silent, Lucius stood up and said very directly: "If you do not obey my commander, you can, I will leave this city to you." I will send someone to move the people of the city, and you will do the rest. ”

Lucius's words made many generals smile, but then Lucius spoke again: "However, I hope you can really show courage." Don't insult the military soul of the Tang Dynasty, be able to defend Linjiang City, and be able to recapture those cities and lands lost in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Hearing this, all the generals immediately changed color. Some generals couldn't help but stand up and say, "You can't do this, you let us go and regain the lost territory, how can we recover the lost territory with such a small number of troops?"

Lucius replied unhurriedly: "You didn't say it before. Do you think you can take Songjiang City? As long as you take Songjiang City and open the ferries on both sides of the Tianjiang River, the soldiers and horses on the north bank will immediately support you, and you will naturally be replenished by troops at that time. ”

All the generals were stunned, even Li Jiangxiao didn't know how to respond, they who were still clamoring to attack Songjiang City before, suddenly realized how stupid they were at this moment.

Songjiang City is indeed an important city, on the Tianjiang River, Songjiang City is regarded as the main road between the north and south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the safest waterway, you don't have to face the rushing water of the Tianjiang River, and you don't have to worry about being blocked by the steepness of the Tianjiang River.

But Songjiang City is just like what Lucius said before, such an important strategic place, the demon clan will inevitably send heavy troops to guard it, otherwise Jiangbei will not send a single soldier across the river to support for so long?

After thinking about this, the generals had to admit that some of Lucius's ideas were indeed more secure than theirs, and they were considering this war from the perspective of the overall situation.

Seeing that a group of people were completely speechless, Lucius didn't want to say anything more, and finally just said very flatly: "Everyone, I hope you can look at the problem from the perspective of the entire race, and don't deviate from the entire battle situation because of some of your personal feelings." ”

After speaking, Lucius stood up and saluted the generals: "Everyone, you still have some time to think about it, if you insist on your own ideas, I will never stop you, as long as you break through Songjiang City and open the waterways in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, reinforcements will naturally come." ”

Seeing that Lucius was about to leave, the generals present all looked at each other, and wanted to say something to keep Lucius, but they didn't know how to speak.

They are all generals of the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that they are also well-known in the army of the Tang Dynasty, today's dispute is a kind of battle of will in the final analysis, they are not convinced that Lucius is a foreign visitor, and he can hold the power to point fingers at them.

Therefore, although Lucius saved them, these generals, out of their pride, also wanted to give Lucius a dismount, so as to show their own strength and courage.

But it turned out not to be what they thought, Lucius didn't buy their account at all, and in the end they drove themselves to a dead end.

In the end, Li Jiangxiao had to stand up and stop Lu Xiusi, who was about to walk out: "Your Royal Highness Lu Xiusi, please stay, please forgive us for our recklessness, we are willing to listen to your arrangement, as long as we can defeat the demon clan and recapture those cities we lost, we will wait but rely on your dispatch to say nothing."
