Chapter 24: Turning the Tide

Coming to Sikong Li's residence alone, Guo Yuan got straight to the point and said: "The god of war knows that now that Jian Li has regained the power of the army, he has gathered an army of 150,000 in just a few days, and now he is on the way to Silver Tiger City, I don't know what the god of war thinks?" ”

When Sikong Li heard this, he couldn't help but be a little eager to try, and said with a smile: "Ben will wait too long for this day, in my opinion, no matter who wants to break through Liang Guoqing Yang City, they can't bypass Li Jian's pass, but now that the disparity in strength is so great, this battle has little chance of winning." ”

Guo Yuan's eyebrows were tightly locked, chewing Sikong Li's words carefully, compared to what he thought had no chance of winning, the other party thought that the chance of winning was not big, but no matter how small it was, there was still a little chance of winning, so he said: "According to the meaning of the god of war, since the chance of victory is not big, is it possible to give away the results achieved before?" Although the Liang army had 350,000 horses, he firmly believed that with the military god in charge, he would be able to turn decay into magic. ”

Hearing this, Sikong Li laughed, glanced at the thoughtful young strategist, and asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to hear some truth?" ”

Guo Yuan arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the military god to make it clear." ”

Sikong Li looked ahead and smiled playfully: "What about the 350,000 army?" Except for Li Jian's subordinates, Zhu Wang and his ilk, in the eyes of this general, are just wine bags and rice bags that sell their reputations, and they are not worth mentioning. Now the alliance of your two countries has a total of 180,000 people, if all these 180,000 people are handed over to the general, it is not difficult to fight out these 350,000 people, but at that time, the national strength of the three countries will be greatly consumed, and the Liao State will be allowed to reap the benefits of the fisherman in vain. Besides, both sides will die together, whether you are sir, or Baili Jin, even if you are lucky enough to live, he will have a bright day in the court, I don't know if Mr. is willing? ”

Guo Yuan laughed at himself: "You can't do the beautiful things of others, and that person is still a lifelong enemy." ”

Sikong sneered: "Since this is the case, then we can only return Yongzhou's hands, return to China to recruit troops, and wait until the troops are complete, and then make plans." ”

Although Guo Yuan was unwilling, he also knew that what Sikong Li said was true, in the face of Li Jian's 350,000 army, he was really unwilling to fight the lives of all the soldiers of Yan State, and made a wedding dress for Li Mixian in vain, and he was not willing to be careless and become a military merit, so he nodded and said: "In this case, I will tell General Baili about this matter after I go back next time, so that my Yan State army can prepare as soon as possible." ”

Sikong Li sneered in his heart, and secretly thought: This Guo Yuan is known as thoughtful, resourceful, but subject to age, and has no desperate courage, if he can really fight the 350,000 army of Liang State and kill Li Jian, Liang Guo will definitely be disheartened, so why is it difficult to smash Huanglong?

How could Guo Yuan know what Sikong Li was thinking, and asked: "There is still something unclear below, please clarify the doubts." ”

Sikong pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Sir, please speak." ”

"As the number one martial arts master in the military world, among the four kingdoms, there is no one who is better than him, if the god of war single-handedly raids Silver Tiger City, can he take off Li Jian's head and then retreat?" Guo Yuan said with a solemn expression.

Sikong Li wanted to laugh, but when he saw Guo Yuan's solemn face, not like a joke, he explained: "If this is really the case, why should Mr. remind him, Ben will do this a long time ago." But fighting a war is not a romance novel, even if there is a thing of taking the head of the enemy general from the army, the general will not be able to do it, today, I am afraid that only the transcendent monk of the empty mountain, the sword god Cao Qiong and the spear immortal Ling Xiaoyun may do it, and it is very likely that there will be no return. ”

Guo Yuan had never practiced martial arts, and he had only heard about the division of the martial arts realm, so he asked, "Why is this?" ”

Sikong Li continued: "The martial artists of the world, after reaching the realm of the general, pay attention to the same force with heaven and earth, turn everything in the world for their own use, and the qi is long, just like a bright light in the dark night, and it is very easy to be captured by the alchemist and other masters of the same realm. Ben will assert that as long as I dare to make drastic moves, there will be martial arts masters such as Li Xian or Yang Xiu waiting for me in Silver Tiger City to throw myself into the net. ”

Hearing this, Guo Yuan nodded, and said: "I see, I was taught below, but Guo was lonely and unheard." ”

Sikong Li asked rhetorically: "Sir, do you know why there are very few martial artists in the world who are willing to join the army, and the higher the cultivation, the more so?" ”

"I don't know." Guo Yuan shook his head.

Sikong Li continued: "Martial arts are superior to each other, but the battlefield is a life-and-death battle against the enemy, for martial artists, the biggest threat on the battlefield is countless soldiers and crossbows!" It all shows that the gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and a hundred crossbow arrows are enough to give a headache to a master of the Middle Three Realms. Ordinary martial artists, cultivated to be among the three realms, can open a sect in a state, make a name for themselves, and enjoy endless glory and wealth, and why do they need to work the battlefield, if they are not careful, they will become the military merits of others, so looking at the whole world, it is just a person who is both martial arts and battlefield. ”

————

A day later, Li Jian led the army to arrive in Yinhu City, the garrison in the city got the news early, and went out of the city to greet each other, for a time, 200,000 troops knelt outside the city, and the sound of "seeing the general" was endless, Zhu Wang went out of the city early, and personally led the horse for Li Jian!

Placing the army outside the city, Li Jian walked slowly up to the city tower, without an impassioned statement or any military order, but just clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Thirty miles ahead, it is my Great Liang Yongzhou White Elephant City, please come with you to drive away the field and regain the lost territory!" ”

The crowd is excited!

With Li Jian sitting in the army, bringing an additional 150,000 soldiers and horses, coupled with Sikong Li, Guo Yuan and others are unwilling to fight to the death, in just three days, the White Elephant City was broken, and the army of Liang entered it, and recaptured the remaining two cities in one go, so far, the king of Qingzhou only took five days to quell the rebellion of the two countries, leaving only the southern Liao State unresolved.
