Chapter 103: Find a different path

Li Cunxiao defeated the Han Dynasty's No. 1 general Xu Jie within 20 moves, and formed the power of Deng's army. Yue Fei and others truly realized the horror of Li Cunxiao. There may be no one who can defeat Xu Jie within 20 moves in the world. They originally thought that Li Cunxiao would not lose so badly under Xu Jie, but they did not expect Li Cunxiao to win so simply.

Xu Jie has been outstanding for many years and has experienced many battles. He has only been defeated once. Even Le Yun lost to the hands of the most powerful general of Zhao State Le Yun. But even Le Yun fought with Xu Jie for more than 100 rounds before defeating Xu Jie. Li Cunxiao only took less than twenty rounds, and it was not simply defeated, but directly injured him. Xu Jie's blood is still on the ground, which Le Yun could not do. Yue Fei and others also believed that if Xu Jie had not run fast, Li Cunxiao would have really killed him. Such strength would probably not be invincible at the time, and it would have been a rare enemy.

Xu Jie returned to the city with unsteady steps. Zhou Shen hurriedly supported him. Xu Jie looked depressed, his face was pale, and the blood he had just spit was still left at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Shen asked worriedly: "General Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "General, the last general is fine. He was just a little injured and needed a while to recover."

Seeing that Xu Jie said it was okay, Zhou Shen was no longer so worried, but Li Cunxiao's strength really shocked him. Even the most powerful Xu Jie under his command was beaten like this by him.

"General Xu, is Li Cunxiao really that strong?" Zhou Shen asked.

"It's very strong, much stronger than Xue Rengui. The last general believes that even if Xue Rengui faces Li Cunxiao, he will not be much better than the last general." Xu Jie was still scared about the scene just now. Li Cunxiao is really scary. He has been in the industry for so many years, although he has not won every battle, but there are very few opponents that he can respect. He didn't expect that he suffered such a big loss today under Li Cunxiao.

Zhou Shen was depressed. Li Cunxiao was so strong that he would definitely not be able to fight against the generals. Didn’t he see Xu Jie defeated so thoroughly? Others probably really gave up their heads when they went up, but if they didn’t fight against the generals, they would not be able to fight against Yue Fei directly, so they could only defend the city.

But Zhou Shen was unwilling to accept this. He led his troops to fight for so many years. When did he feel so frustrated? You said that if his opponent was Zhao Xin, he might not be so unwilling. However, Yue Fei was similar to his strength, because he was not as strong as him. If the general was not as strong as him, he would have to defend himself. I am afraid that if he spread it, his reputation as the third general in the world would have to be given to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was not as depressed as Zhou Shen, but was more excited. Today, Li Cunxiao really gave them a big surprise. Xu Jie, the number one general of the Han Dynasty, who gave Yue Fei a headache the next second, was beaten into a dog by Li Cunxiao the next second. How could it be unhappy?

Yue Fei ordered his return to the camp with great excitement. He knew that Zhou Shen would definitely not dare to send people out of the city to challenge him again today. Even Xu Jie was defeated. Wouldn't the others come out and die? He didn't even have to send Li Cunxiao out. Zhang Fei, Deng Qiang, Luo Cheng, and Qin Lie alone could beat them up.

Back in the camp, Zhang Fei and others surrounded Li Cunxiao, appreciating his strength, and saying that Li Cunxiao had time to compete with them, especially Zhang Fei and Deng Qiang, two people who had fought with Xu Jie. Only they knew what kind of strength Xu Jie was. How could they not admire those who could hurt Xu Jie within twenty moves? Li Cunxiao could only show a silly smile for everyone's praise and pursuit.

When they returned to the camp, everyone was happy, but Yue Fei frowned. Su Hong and Cheng Yu, who were delicate in mind, saw this and asked: "Master Yue, General Li Cunxiao showed his power today, easily defeated Xu Jie, the number one general of the Han Dynasty, to boost our army's morale. Why is the Marshal still frowning?"

After hearing this, the others stopped and looked at Yue Fei.

Yue Fei said: "The two military advisors don't know. Today, General Li Cunxiao defeated Xu Jie. Although it greatly boosted the morale of our army, Zhou Shen will definitely defend Wu Pass to the death and will not go out of the city to fight. It will be even more difficult for us to break Wu Pass."

Yue Fei's words made everyone silent, right? Even Xu Jie, the number one general in the Han Dynasty, is not the opponent of Deng Jun. Does Zhou Shen dare to come out?

At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Marson, Zhou Shen can support Wuguan so quickly. I believe that the Han Dynasty will not mobilize troops from all over the country, and it is not enough to have fewer troops. It seems that Zhou Shen must have timed all the troops around Chang'an. In other words, the Chang'an area is now empty and there are no soldiers guarding at all. What if there is a surprise attack on Chang'an now?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. This was a good idea, but Su Hong poured a basin of cold water on them and said, "Shizhong Cheng, your idea is good. However, although there are no troops guarding Chang'an, there are many Han troops stationed on the periphery of Guanzhong. How could our army hide from so many enemies and raid the hinterland of Guanzhong?"

When everyone heard this, it was justified. Guanzhong was empty, but there were many soldiers guarding the outside. If you want to break through the defense of the Han army, it would be difficult to attack the hinterland of Guanzhong.

"Actually, it's not impossible." Yue Fei spoke at this time. He came to the map, pointed at Shangyong's position, and said, "Look, this is Shangyong, only 800 miles away from Guanzhong. This is the natural barrier of Guanzhong. According to the information our army obtained in Guanzhong, there is no Han army guarding around Qinchuan. If our army can send a surprise troops to cross the 800 miles of Qinchuan, we can surprise Chang'an."

"But Marshal, the 800-mile Qinchuan is full of mountains and ridges. Since ancient times, no one has been able to cross the 800-mile Qinchuan directly into Guanzhong." Su Hong raised his question. Now it is not a later generation. There are so many technologies that can cross mountains and rivers. It is impossible to cross mountains and ridges like Qinchuan now.

Yue Fei smiled and said, "No one has done it, it doesn't mean it's impossible. When Han Xin secretly visited Chen Cang, who would have thought that there would be a path to Chen Cang that could go straight to Guanzhong? However, this matter requires a bold and meticulous person to go there."

"Marson, I am willing to try!" Qin Lie stepped out and asked for his order.

Yue Fei looked at Qin Lie and said earnestly: "General Qin, you have to know that no one has ever crossed Qinchuan from Shangyong. This mission can be said to be a life-and-death death. Are you really willing to go?"

Qin Lie hesitated for a moment and nodded, saying, "Marson, no one has ever done this, let the Mo General be the first person. Han Xin was able to make a way out from Chen Cang to Guanzhong, and today I, Qin Lie, can do it."

"Okay, great!" Yue Fei praised: "General Qin is worthy of being a general that the king values. Okay, I will let you lead troops this time, but you alone may not be able to do it."

At this time, Luo Cheng and Zhang Hao came out and said, "Marcedes-General, I am willing to go!"

Yue Fei looked at the two of them with relief and said, "Okay, since the two generals are so wise, then General Qin will be the main general, and you wait for the two to be the deputy generals to raid Chang'an." Although Luo Cheng is above Qin Lie in the military position, but Luo Cheng is not as good as Qin Lie in the military qualifications, so Yue Fei directly called Qin Lie as the main general, but fortunately Luo Cheng didn't care about these.

"Thank you Marshal!" Qin Lie and the other two responded.

Yue Fei smiled and said, "This time the raid on Chang'an, ordinary soldiers will definitely not work. I will write a letter to the king to transfer all the cavalry of our army to the command of three generals. In addition to General Luo Cheng's eighteen cavalry of Yanyun, as long as he successfully crosses Qinchuan, great things will be accomplished."
