After issuing the military order, Li Maozhen's face softened slightly.

He finally understood now why Yang Xingmi wanted to leave the country as soon as he came up and took the initiative to seek war and attack the pioneer Liu Zhijun.

There is only one purpose: to make Liu Zhijun shrink back on defense and dare not fight. In this way, Yang Xingmi was able to smoothly transport his soldiers and horses to hidden places within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Because of this, the Wu army was able to attack the army like a hive.

Although I don't know where these scattered Wu troops are hiding, and their respective autonomy may be great, as long as Yang Xingmi still wants to mobilize them, he has to send monks to pass on military orders, which gives Li Maozhen the opportunity to rob and kill.

Yang Xingmi's advantages are nothing more than two points: first, all the chess pieces have fallen on the chessboard, and the layout has been completed; second, the Huai Surabaya network is dense, which is convenient for the Wu army and sailors to come and go.

But Li Maozhen also has her own advantages, that is, there are many soldiers!

This allowed him to dig deep into the ground to search for the Wu army and besiege his division.

Li Maozhen's military orders were carried out to the letter, and the effect was very remarkable. Within a few days, he received a steady stream of military reports: large and small Wu troops had been turned out of the hills, wild forests, riversides, and villages, and the monks of the Phantom Sound Workshop intercepted and killed batch after batch of Wu army heralds and monks.

Bo and Yingzhou, a radius of hundreds of miles, is like a pot of boiling water, bubbling Wu army armor everywhere, and everywhere is also full of elite cavalry galloping vertically and horizontally, encircling and attacking. Battles of hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands of people were unfolding one after another everywhere.

As the good news was delivered to the front, Li Maozhen's cloudy face for days was gradually replaced by the sunshine. This also made his generals on the left and right breathe a sigh of relief.

"King Qi arrived in Shansang for only a few days, not only stabilized the battle situation, so that the battalions of our army had no losses, but what is even more rare is that with a wave of his hand, he pulled out all the Wu troops who were difficult to find before, killing the enemy like mowing grass, and beheaded more than 10,000 people in ten days, it is really an unfathomable talent, we admire it!"

After Liu Zhijun came to report the latest military situation, he fell to the ground and hurriedly sang praises.

Li Maozhen smiled at the corner of her mouth, and she was obviously very happy in her heart, but she wanted to put on a look that was not enough, and said lightly: "It's not that you are incompetent, this is why this king wants to go out in person, are you embarrassed to slap the horse here?"

said, after all, he couldn't hold back the smugness in his heart, raised his eyebrows and said: "That Yang Xingmi was said by you to be like a fairy descending to earth, using soldiers like a ghost, after this king's attempt, it's nothing more than that." ”

He had reason to be complacent.

Yang Xingmi, who made Zhao Bingkun, the master of the military family, helpless, was beaten by him in three or two moves, and his face was "covered with blood". Tens of thousands of casualties were inflicted on the army before, but only a few thousand enemies were killed, and he not only caused heavy casualties to the five armies, but also reversed the entire battle situation.

As the head of the people, he highlights the talent that his subordinates can't reach, consolidates his position and enhances his prestige, which will inevitably lead to the loyalty of the tribe, how can he not be happy?

Liu Zhijun knew that Li Maozhen had taught him a lesson, and he was actually very happy in his heart, so he smiled and flattered: "Just Yang Xingmi, he is just a general, maybe he can be powerful in front of the last generals, but where can he withstand His Royal Highness Wang Weihe? His Royal Highness Wang Wei is unparalleled in the world, don't say that Gao Yu can't reach one or two, even the former King An, it is also greatly inferior!"

Li Maozhen's eyes were slightly bent, and the corners of her eyes were full of smiles, enjoying Liu Zhijun's praise.

However, when he heard the word "King An", his eyes changed suddenly, and his face immediately calmed down.

If others don't know, can he still not know his own situation? The military strategy to deal with Yang Xingmi was set for him by "King An"!

"An Wang ......" Li Maozhen's eyes flickered. In all fairness, he came to the front line to preside over the war, although he had some plans, but he was not so conservative in using troops, but took Suzhou directly with superior forces, and then went north to threaten Xuzhou after conquering it.

Once Xuzhou is in trouble and Gao Biao is in danger, can Yang Xingmi still play hide and seek with him in the Huai Surabaya system?

But in hindsight, the move was risky. If Yang Xingmi packed up his troops and returned to Xuzhou, then it would be enough, Li Maozhen could deal with it, but what if Yang Xingmi ignored Gao Yu's military orders and did not return to Xuzhou?

Xuzhou gathered the main force of the Wu army, there were a large number of monks, and the city was strong, it was not easy to capture, and Gao Biao would inevitably fight to the death. Once the war is deadlocked, Yang Xingmi will take more than 100,000 or 200,000 mosquitoes under his command, and he will not bite Li Maozhen in the back?

Moreover, across the Huaishui is Gao Yu's base camp, and Yang Xingmi can get a steady stream of supplements, and some of them are useful.

Once there is a change or a big change in the rear, it will be difficult for Li Maozhen to ride a tiger at that time.

Although Li Ye's strategy is conservative, labor-intensive, and time-consuming, it is a dignified strategy to be steady and serious, and will not leave a gap and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

In the final analysis, Li Maozhen is an executor, not a planner, the key is not him, there is really nothing to be proud of.

Thinking of this, Li Maozhen couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't be happy anymore.

"Cui Keli is really a talent...... Li Maozhen sighed secretly, a little blushing at the other party's talent.

Li Maozhen said to Liu Zhijun with great interest: "Although the Wu army has risen in a big way, it has been fighting fiercely for days, and our army's losses are not less than those of the other party. At present, the war has just begun, and only by besieging and killing all the opponents can it be considered a success, and it is not yet time to be proud. After you go down, you must do your best, and there must be no more mistakes!"

Li Maozhen's soldiers and horses were searched in a carpet style, and there were not many troops per unit area, and the soldiers and horses of the Wu army who turned out the brigade bore the brunt of the battle, and were often killed with heavy losses. So over the past few days, there have been tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

However, this does not matter, when the troops and horses of all sides converge into a momentum, once the encirclement is formed, it will be strangled in sections with absolutely superior forces, and there will be no more heavy casualties of its own.

Listening to Li Maozhen's lazy voice, Liu Zhijun was a little confused, how could King Qi, who was still happy and happy just now, be like a frosted eggplant in a blink of an eye?

He didn't dare to ask more, so he could only pat his chest and promise that the next battle would never go wrong again.

Li Maozhen was in a low mood, and after Liu Zhijun left, he was always thinking about how to get Cui Keli in his hands and get the other party's loyalty and sincere assistance.

The next day, a piece of news like a thunderbolt from the sky was transmitted to Li Maozhen's ears by the monk of the Phantom Sound Workshop.

"Zhu Wen killed Liu Xinwu to stand on his own, gathered the old troops and occupied Bianzhou again?! There are many people in nearby prefectures and counties?!" Li Maozhen jumped out from behind the desk like a cat with her tail stepped on, and grabbed the military newspaper from the monk's hand to take a closer look.

After a quick glance, Li Maozhen's face turned red: "Bastard! Zhu Wen, a murderer, dared to come out and make waves, he was simply looking for death!"

His face was like a bluestone, and he paced back and forth with the news that was about to be crushed, and quickly made up his mind: Since the overall situation of the war between Bo and Ying has been decided, it is better to return to Bianzhou as soon as possible to solve Zhu Wen first, and there is no room for loss in the Central Plains!

Li Maozhen decided not to delay and set off immediately.

"King Yuqi, King An's envoy asks to see you. ”

"King An's envoy, let him in!"

Li Maozhen held back his temperament, returned to the back seat of the main seat, and when the messenger entered the door, he stared at him and asked, "What is the matter with King An?"

King An said that he would deal with Zhu Wen's matter, and he didn't have to worry about King Qi, King Qi only had to deal with Yang Xingmi. As he spoke, the messenger took out a letter and presented it.

"King An is going to solve Zhu Wen?, what will he do to solve it?!" Li Maozhen blurted out with a cold snort.

Zhu Wen is a real hero in the world, but King An of Songzhou is a fake!

What does a small medicine merchant in Jinyang take to fight with a generation of heroes? Do you really think that after pretending to be King An for a few days and hearing and witnessing some military aircraft and politics, you will have the ability to compete with Zhu Wen?

That's the real search for death!

No, nothing can be said, Zhu Wen must solve it by himself, and only he can solve it!

Li Maozhen was so determined that she didn't even read the so-called letter from King An, so she said to the envoy: "You return to King An, Zhu Wen is cunning and insidious, and if you can take advantage of the chaos this time, you must rely on it." This king decided to deal with it personally, just let him sit in Songzhou, there is no need to say much about this matter!"

The envoy saw that Li Maozhen was about to drive people away, but he was not flustered, and said calmly: "King An said that if King Qi is unwilling, please read the letter before making a decision." ”

Li Maozhen's eyes drooped, covering half of her sharp and clear eyes.

What letters to read, what letters to read, you fake King An, you little pharmacist......

Li Maozhen picked up the letter and unfolded it, and quickly but seriously read it word by word.

In the process, his eyes changed several times, and his face was also very exciting, sometimes surprised, sometimes surprised, sometimes agreed, and finally the bottom of his eyes was full of fear. When he closed the letter, he couldn't help but close his eyes and fall into deep thought.

Li Ye's letter is simple.

Although the Wu army in the south of Bozhou, the entire territory of Yingzhou, and the two cities of Suzhou was turned over, and the army was also captured, after all, the main force of the other side had not been annihilated.

Below this content, Li Ye conveyed Cui Keli's words:

"Although the whereabouts of the thief army are slightly revealed, whether the army can successfully divide the land and subdivide the encirclement is still between the two.

Since Yang Xingmi dared to order his soldiers and horses to leave Suzhou and scatter hundreds of miles to fight, he would not leave a way to retreat. Once the Wu army felt that the situation was critical and could no longer fight in place, it was very likely to withdraw decisively, and it was very likely that they would escape.

"Secondly, the upper reaches of the Huaishui River connect Yingzhou and Yuzhou, and go up the Rushui River in Yuzhou, which can reach the hinterland of the Central Plains and the vest of our army...... Judging from the general talent shown by Yang Xingmi, he fought with inferior troops, and it was unlikely that he would make a lone bet, and the current situation was likely to be expected by him.

"If he still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that have not been dispatched, he can send them upstream-even if he doesn't, the Wu army that withdrew from Bo and Ying, after entering the Huai River to get rid of the pursuit of our army, can also penetrate deep into the Central Plains from the Huai River, attack our army's belly and grain routes, and even attack Songzhou in a roundabout way......"

"As far as Yang Xingmi is concerned, in the face of our army's strength advantage and soldiers, Suzhou is impregnable, and the only way to reverse the situation is to expand the battlefield, constantly attack and harass the weak points of our army, contain our army's strength, and feed back to the frontal battlefield...... Once he dragged it out until the cold of winter, he won......

"At this time, King Qi must sit on the south road and not leave lightly, so as not to delay the ...... of the fighter."

After a long time, Li Maozhen opened her eyes.

He groaned for a moment, and said to the messenger who was waiting in the hall, "Tell King An that this king agrees with him." However, the king can only give him ten days, and if within ten days, King An cannot quell the rebellion of Zhu Wen, the king will return in person. ”

"The lower official will return to His Highness and take his leave. "Come and make the salute withdraw.

Looking at the back of the envoy leaving, Li Maozhen fell into deep thought again.

Saying that he would return in person, in fact, he knew very well that if the situation really developed to that point, the battle would be considered a defeat.

Yang Xingmi didn't solve it, but the rear was chaotic, how can this battle be fought?

Only troops can be withdrawn.
