Li Shuo's movements were very fast.

In order not to let the Hanzhou army and the Mu family gossip, after receiving Li Xin's order, he quickly led his troops out of Luzhou and advanced towards the capital.

However, although his movements were fast, the progress was not fast, because Li Shuo knew very well that even if he put aside the support of the wing troops everywhere, the imperial court's troops would still be far superior to the Southwest Army at this time. If the imperial guards in the capital abandoned the city and did not defend them, they would be head-on with the Southwest Army, and the tens of thousands of people led by Li Shuo might not be able to withstand it for long and would be swallowed up by the Southwest Army.

Therefore, while advancing, he had to pay attention to the movements on the capital in real time. Once the imperial guards in the capital are surrounded, the Southwest Army must turn off attack to defend, use the thunder to defend the position, block the imperial guards' attack, and then make plans.

Fortunately, the imperial court's intentions were very conservative. Li Shuo pushed forward for forty or fifty miles, but did not encounter the resistance of the imperial guards in the capital. At this time, it was already dark, and Li Shuo did not advance rashly and ordered his soldiers to start camping.

Because it is very close to the capital, Li Shuo's Ningzhou army maintained a cautious attitude, and there were patrols within ten miles of the neighborhood after the camp.

The moon was in the sky. Li Shuo, the commander of Ningzhou Army, did not sleep peacefully. He was holding a telescope in his hand, standing on a high place, and was watching from the capital.

It's midnight.

Li Shuo looked a little nervous, but he still looked over the capital from time to time.

In this era, it is very particular for the army to camp, and the terrain is very important. For example, you should approach the water source to prevent the enemy from fire attack, but you should not camp downstream to prevent water attack, and you should not camp in places surrounded by three sides to prevent the enemy from being pierced in pockets.

Even more detailed, the location of the toilet is very particular. It depends on the direction of the wind and choose the lower air outlet. Otherwise, the stench will blow throughout the camp and will seriously affect the combat effectiveness.

In addition, the density between camp tents, the formations that support each other, etc. These are all compulsory courses for military generals. Li Shuo is naturally very proficient, but this time, the address of their camp tents of tens of thousands of people was very rough, and there were two small hills on both sides. Once the enemy attacked the camp, it was difficult to advance and retreat freely.

Li Shuo stood on one of the mountain bags and looked at the direction of the capital without blinking.

In the second half of the night, finally there was movement in the distance.

Although his telescope did not see anything that was too obvious, the scouts who were exploring nearby had already discovered something was wrong. A captain from the scout camp walked up to Li Shuo carefully and whispered: "General, someone is coming over the capital."

Li Shuo took a deep breath and spoke, "How many people are there?"

The captain whispered: "I can't see clearly yet, but there are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people, most of them are coming to the camp."

"Only one or two thousand people..."

Li Shuo shook his head in disappointment and said, "I understand, keep staring and rewarding you at any time."

This place is too close to the capital city, and is closer to the camp of the Imperial Guard's Left Camp, only thirty or forty miles away. In other words, as long as the enemy attacks, you can arrive in half an evening.

Facing the attack of the Southwest Army, although the court was conservative, the overall strength was superior, and the capital would not defend from beginning to end. No matter how it was, it would have to send people out to try the quality of the Southwest Army.

More importantly, Li Xin had a spy in the capital, and the court could not have no hearing in the Southwest Army. In other words, the court must have known the news that the Southwest Army had changed its generals in the last battle and changed from Mu Ying to Li Shuo.

Therefore, Li Shuo and Li Xin took the courage to discuss a plan to make a plan.

Under the night, Li Shuo put down the Qianli Miles Miles in his hand and murmured to himself: "The Southwest Army changed its generals at the last battle and replaced Li Changan's brother. He was in his thirties and had never brought many troops. His marching speed was extremely slow. He chose a very bad camp site. He brought a total of 50,000 Southwest Army out of the city..."

"The Southwest Army has only more than 100,000 people in total. As long as these 50,000 people are destroyed, the Southwest Army will no longer have any threats..."

"So many temptations are placed before you, you have only sent 20,000 people out of the city..."

"Do you are too timid or are you looking down on me too much?"

Li Shuo murmured for a while, slowly walked down the high slope, and entered his handsome tent.

At this time, more than a dozen Ningzhou generals had already assembled in his tent.

Most of these Ningzhou generals came from the army of that year, and many of them were powerful generals under Li Shen and Li Yan, with rich experience, and of course they were not all from the army. Many young generals were promoted by Li Shuo in the Ningzhou army.

After seeing Li Shuo, these people immediately clasped their fists in a deep voice: "Last general, I have seen the general!"

"The imperial army is already on the road. It will take about half an hour or an hour to reach our military camp. There are not many of these people, but there are also many. How are you doing when you prepare for it?"

Because there are many court-like hearings in the Southwest Army, Li Shuo's actions this time were very secretive, and only informed more than a dozen absolutely credible people in the Ningzhou Army. After hearing Li Shuo's words, these people immediately lowered their heads and said in a deep voice: "The last general, you have already prepared according to the general's orders."

Li Shuo nodded slowly.

"Then go down and do things. Although there are not many people coming, it is better than not. This battle must be fought beautifully, otherwise even if the general doesn't say anything, the Hanzhong army will gossip behind us and say we are useless."

Speaking of this, Li Shuo narrowed his eyes, and murderous aura burst out in his eyes.

"No matter how many people come to the court tonight, they must be kept coming and going!"

"The last general will wait, obey the order!"

…………

In the night, a tall black-faced man was slowly approaching the southwest military camp with a team of people.

This man is about the height of a foot, not only has a tall figure, but also has a heavy voice.

"Has the scout investigated cleared?"

The next soldier bowed his head and said, "General Huihou, you have already found out that the brother Li Shuo led the troops of this Southwest Army. He served as the general of Ningzhou in the southwest. I haven't heard of any record of his war in recent years. I guess he is..."

It was probably because of my brotherly relationship with Li Xin that I got to where I am today.

This sentence has not been finished, but anyone can hear the second half.

The big man nodded and said, "During the day, I watched his camp tent from afar. The formation was scattered and the position was not right. It should be a pustule. This time the court handed over the errands of the attack camp to my imperial guards' left camp. In any case, I must win in one battle tonight."

The big man's voice was as loud as thunder.

"General Zhong said that the battle will be beautiful. First, we will give His Majesty an explanation, and second, we will give the people in the capital and the government and the people. There is no need to worry about the rebels in the southwest!"

Speaking of this, the big man frowned slightly.

"The court lacks a victory for too long. If it continues to lose, the capital will be in chaos."

After saying this, he looked towards Luzhou, thought of his old friend, and sighed slightly in his heart.
