The dispatch of the heavily armored iron cavalry caught up with the Tang Emperor Li Qingcang, but he did not continue to go deep alone.

300,000 cavalry, running wild for a whole day, has penetrated deep into the hinterland.

And by Li Qingcang's side, there are a full 500,000 troops waiting for him.

Not only that, but when he learned that Li Cunxiao was coming, Li Qingcang divided the army into three, marched and retreated from three different directions, and let the soldiers of various prefectures and counties flank the Wei army along the way.

If Li Cunxiao continues to take risks, he will easily be dumped by the enemy.

In this case, it is better to retreat bravely from the rapids, leaving the green mountains without worrying about no firewood.

After Li Qingcang learned that Li Cunxiao had retreated, he was also relieved.

To be honest, after being scared by Wei Jun, he really had no bottom in his heart.

As one of the Nine Dragon Generals, Wang Yunhe is already the most powerful person among the currently living Nine Dragon Generals, so he has been protecting the emperor's safety closely.

After Li Cunxiao withdrew his troops, Wang Yunhe said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, General Wei will lead hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and the formation is vast, which can only explain one thing. ”

Speaking of which, not in words.

Tang Emperor Li Qingcang said: "You mean to say that the border city has been breached?"

Wang Yunhe nodded, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the next move of the Wei army is to go straight to the Yellow Dragon." We have to make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

Li Qingcang opened his mouth and said: "I have ordered the southern towns to rapidly expand the source of troops, and use all the strength of the whole country, and probably be able to recruit millions of troops. ”

Wang Yunhedao: "Your Majesty, as long as we take every step of the way, my Tang Dynasty territory, just relying on the Wei State, will not be able to settle down." ”

It doesn't matter if you lose the border city, as long as the faith is lost, everything still has a chance.

As a veteran general who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, the most important thing in the current situation is to raise the morale of the whole country.

It is believed that the Wei State will definitely break through the Tang State.

After all, the people also pay attention to the current situation at all times, and learn from various sources that on the front line, the army of the Tang State has suffered several major defeats, and it has also lost its troops.

Border.

Zhao Changqing stood at the head of the city and looked ahead, and behind him, there were five tiger generals and others.

They are all waiting for Li Cunxiao's arrival.

Li Cunxiao went and returned, but did not bring back Li Qingcang's body.

This made Zhao Changqing somewhat disappointed.

But after thinking about it, this matter is reasonable.

After Li Cunxiao's arrival, he brought about the situation in the nearby states and counties.

Zhao Changqing read this information in detail, which was very valuable.

He said to the soldiers: "Without further ado, Prime Minister Zhuge is formulating a strategy for dividing the troops, after the division of troops, at all costs, attack the city and seize the land, and feed the war with war, I am afraid that we will be delayed for a long time in the Tang Kingdom." ”

Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty means that you want to capture the Tang Kingdom step by step?

Zhao Changqing shook his head when he heard this: "The territory of the Tang Kingdom is vast and the depth is extremely long, in this kind of rash follow-up situation, it will cause us a certain amount of trouble, and the subsequent supplies, grain and grass transportation, etc., are all problems, it is better to have a comprehensive strategy, first fight for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and prepare for a protracted war." ”

The soldiers understood what the emperor meant.

The plan formulated by Zhuge Liang was soon released.

Zhao Changqing personally ordered to go down.

The enthusiasm of the soldiers is very active.

The total strength of the Wei army now is about 2.4 million.

After several major battles, the casualties of the Wei army were very limited.

Now in addition to the five tiger generals, there are also the so-called five good generals.

They are Zhao Changlin, Cao Cao, Huo Quzhi, Li Cunxiao, and Xiang Yu.

Of course, this so-called five good generals was made up by people in the army, but it can be regarded as a climate.

After all, when they talked about these five generals, they were placed alongside the five tiger generals.

In fact, whether it is the five tiger generals or the five good generals, the overall strength is not much different.

Regardless of the combat ability of individual soldiers, or the command of a large army of soldiers, among the generals of the entire Wei army, no one can defeat these ten people.

Considering that each of these ten people has a skill, Zhuge Liang thought about it and decided to lead 200,000 troops each and send troops from ten directions at the same time.

And the emperor here, led 300,000 heavily armored iron cavalry to drive straight in.

The remaining 100,000 troops stayed in the border city for defense.

Zhao Changqing is very satisfied with this plan, the eleventh route army, the whole line of attack, this is the real sense of multi-point flowering.

The night before he left for the expedition, something unexpected happened to Zhao Changqing, Zhao Hongji was unwilling to follow him, instead of following Chen Qingzhi.

Zhao Changqing said bitterly: "Your father's route to send troops will go through a lot of big battles, follow your father, there is a chance for you to make contributions, Chen Qingzhi is here to attack the city and plunder the land, and the credit obtained is nothing more than the gains and losses of one city and one place, why do you insist on following him?"

Zhao Hongji said: "My father doesn't know, Erchen wants to learn some art of war from Uncle Qingzhi, after all, at the earliest, Erchen followed Uncle Qingzhi to learn the art of war. If you study by a different person, it will inevitably be a little uncomfortable. ”

Zhao Changqing naturally heard that this was an excuse, and he snorted coldly and said: "Chen Qingzhi's art of war was taught by his father back then, you can learn it if you follow him, but you can't learn it if you follow your father?"

Who knows, as soon as this sentence came out, Zhao Hongji actually knelt on the ground, "Ask my father to fulfill it, under the wing of your father, my son will never grow up." ”

Looking at his child's resolute appearance, Zhao Changqing was stunned.

He walked aimlessly on the top of the city, and said to Zhao Hongji, who was kneeling on the ground behind him, "Let's go with my father?"

It's like a request.

Zhao Changqing is different from other emperors.

He really loves his children.

I don't want to see them hurt in the slightest.

Zhao Hongji was stunned for a moment.

He had never heard his father speak to him in such a tone, so he got up and followed behind him.

Suddenly, Zhao Changqing stopped, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said as if muttering: "Ji'er, do you know?

Divide the army into eleven roads, it seems to be vast, but in fact it is extremely dangerous, in case there are several ways to collapse, the army can not contact each other, it is easy to be repelled by the enemy one by one, so this goes, the big guys basically belong to a kind of nine deaths. Promise your father and follow your father? At the very least, your father can protect you. ”

Zhao Hongji was shocked by his father's words.

Looking at the tone of the father, it seems that something unpredictable will happen in the future?

Or is there something wrong with my father's health?

Moreover, is it really that dangerous to divide the troops?

Then why did my father insist on dividing the troops?

Gradually, Zhao Hongji's mind began to think crankily.

He couldn't imagine that if his father's body really went wrong, in this world, he and the prince could not hold it alone.

After all, foreign surnames are unreliable.

But what he is most worried about is whether there is a problem with his father's physical condition as a son of man.
