Whether it was reported to Yan's residence or dictated by Yang Jun, they all said that Li Chengzhi was able to achieve Beizhen's merit by unintentionally seeing through Lu Yan's rebellion.

Li Shao really wanted to laugh.

He didn't believe a word of it.

Recalling all the signs of Li Chengzhi before he sent troops to Luoyang, Li Shao 90% dared to conclude that Li Chengzhi already knew at that time that Beizhen would be in chaos.

He is indeed a person given by heaven...

"Dudu Bing, the commander-in-chief has arrived in Kaiyin County!"

If you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here?

Li Shao was stunned for a moment and quickly got out of the carriage: "Go back to the city!"

……

The setting sun reluctantly fell into the valley. The sea of ​​clouds swallowed up the last trace of the afterglow, and the sky was like red and green, colorful.

The army returned to camp one after another, and the civilians began to cook rice. The smoke curled up like an extremely large gauze garment, covering the mountains, forests and county town.

Li Chengzhi sat at the desk, flipping through the official documents, military orders and other documents between the camp and the counties, counties, and armies in the past half month, and frowned slightly.

He always felt that Li Shao and Diao Zheng were too cautious.

The army now numbers at least 100,000. In addition to the civilians and the 40,000 Chinese soldiers, there are at least 20,000 strong troops from various states. It can be said that the troops are strong and the horses are strong, and the food and grass are sufficient.

But this 100,000-strong army was scattered nearly 600 miles from Longshan in the west to Wuguan in the east.

This was clearly suppressed by the Fertile Rebellion.

It's right to think about it. Since Yuan Huai and other traitor chiefs can collude with Lu Yan and Dou Ling who are more than two thousand miles away, now there is only a Qinling Mountains between them, and nearly half of the key points are in the hands of Yuan Li. Outside the rebels

To conquer the Southern Dynasty, what’s the difficulty in getting help?

Li Chengzhi naturally knew the intentions of Li Shao and Diao Zheng. The purpose was to block all the four fortresses leading from Qinling Mountains to Guanzhong to prevent the Southern Army from raiding and Yuan Li and others to attack from inside and outside.

But the problem is, not to mention seeing the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, now there is not even a hint of it, and it is more or less suspected of scaring myself.

Furthermore, the 100,000-strong army that wasted their lives and money to enter the Pass was not just for defense. Whether the rebels had colluded with the Southern Army and how strong the Southern Dynasty’s support was can only be revealed after a battle.<

/p>

"Commander, Governor Li and Yang Sima are asking for a meeting outside the tent!"

"Please!"

Li Chengzhi closed the document and asked, "Is there any news about Governor Diao and Li Sima?"

Li Ruigong responded: "When we set off from Jingzhou, we sent a fast horse to deliver the order to Bailitan. It was delivered at noon, but Bailitan is only more than two hundred miles away from Kaiyin, so it must be arriving soon!"<

/p>

Baili Beach?

Li Chengzhi lowered his head and looked at the map on the case.

If I remember correctly, the so-called Baili Beach should be the Guanshan Grassland in later generations, located between Qinzhou and Qizhou. Diao Zheng and Li Daoyuan are now stationed here, approaching Qingshui County, Longxi County.

According to the latest news, the rebels have set up a defense line in Qingshui County. There are nearly ten thousand troops. It is said that the leader is Hou Gang.

We are old friends.

I just don’t know where Yu Zhong, Yuan Huai and Yuan Jidu are?

Just as they were thinking about it, Li Shao and Yang Jun entered the camp and bowed down together: "I have seen the commander-in-chief!"

Military laws are strict and etiquette cannot be abolished, not to mention that they are still in the Yamen tent. The two of them did not neglect it because they were elders and close friends. They both knelt down on one knee and raised their hands to ask for courtesy.

Li Chengzhi shouted "Please get up quickly", but he couldn't help but think of Li Shixian.

Look, if you really ask your father to obey orders in the tent, you will have to kneel to him several times every day, and maybe he will be struck by lightning one day...

After a few words of greeting, the three of them sat down, and Li Chengzhi shocked everyone by saying, "Yan Ti and Lu Gong from Gaoping Town have also rebelled!"

Li Shao frowned, while Yang Jun's face stiffened.

Is it really as Li Chengzhi said: Now is the time when the Wei Dynasty is in an unprecedented crisis. If you are not careful, it will start a prairie fire and cause smoke to spread all over the place?

First came Yuan Huai, Yu Zhong, Yuan Ji, Hou Gang and their clansmen and in-laws, then Yuan Li from Liangzhou, Cui Zujia from Qinzhou, Lu Yan from Woye, Lu Shiyu, Yu Jing from Bogulu,

Now it’s Gaoping’s Yan Ti and Lu Gong again?

Not to mention the Dou Ling who raised his troops to invade the south, and the Southern Dynasty who now does not know what the truth is?

Do you feel that as soon as the late emperor died, demons and monsters appeared one after another in endlessly?

"Therefore, I only asked Xi Zhen to defend the third battalion of armored cavalry, and the remaining more than 20,000 county soldiers and state soldiers were all moved to Longshan to guard against Gaoping and Bo Gulu. In addition, Xiazhou Gaoxi Shi sent troops to the south wall (inner Great Wall),

Yu Jing and Yan Ti will not dare to move lightly because they are guarding and concealing themselves from the north and the south. Can they ensure that our army has a safe path forward?"

Is it just a fallback?

God knows in a few days, will another town, state or county rise up?

The two looked at each other, stunned for a while, then turned their heads and stared at Li Chengzhi closely.

In the past, rumors related to Li Chengzhi, such as "God's instructions" and "He was born with knowledge," were regarded as ridiculous. But now I realize that even rumors are by no means groundless.

Thinking that these two people were worried because of the current crisis, Li Chengzhi pondered for a moment and said with sincerity:

"The juniors know that they have little talent and little knowledge, and that their qualifications and experience are all close to nothing. It is only because of the late emperor's trust that they were able to rise to great heights. Therefore, since the army was sent out, the juniors have been walking on thin ice and cannot sleep at night, for fear of letting down the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Eighth Route Army.

Public office period.

He also knew that Shibo, General Diao, Yang Sima and Li Sima were all famous generals with outstanding military achievements, so he urgently called everyone in the camp to ask how to fight this battle.

The younger generation firmly believes that now is the time when the storm is turbulent and there is no need to delay. If there is a slight delay, the ant nest will burst the embankment. Therefore, it is even more necessary to use the posture of Mount Tai to turn the tide and turn the tide, so as to calm people's hearts!

Just like the Battle of Fertile Field, if Dou Ling hadn't been careless and hesitant, how could he have given the junior a God-given opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop? Therefore, the junior felt that this battle should be fought sooner rather than later. Even if there were heavy casualties, the enemy would still have to deal with a thunderous blow.

Hit..."

The two of them were thoughtful and had different expressions.

At first glance, Li Chengzhi's words seemed very polite and extremely self-effacing, indicating that his name as a commander was not worthy of his name. He needed military exploits but not military exploits, and needed seniority but not qualifications. Therefore, he needed to rely on the talents of Li Shao and Yang Jun.

People who are good at fighting and have outstanding achievements.

But if you think about it carefully, you can tell that Li Chengzhi does not agree with their current defensive-oriented tactical layout.

The meaning is very clear, it is to fight the rebels with swords against swords and guns against guns, even if there are heavy casualties.

Only in this way can the court's determination to suppress the rebellion be demonstrated, and only those who have changed minds and swayed from side to side can be deterred...

Li Shao and Yang Jun looked at each other and secretly said "Sure enough".

They had long expected that Li Chengzhi would never be content with seeking stability, and would be aggressive in seeking a fight to the death with the rebels.

Not to mention that Li Shao and Yang Jun, including all the ministers in the court, had already expected that they would appoint Li Shao as the governor of the left and Yang Jun as the commander of the left, just so that they could dissuade Li Chengzhi when he became radical.

But the problem is that today Li Shao and Yang Jun don’t know whether they should persuade them, and if they do, how should they persuade them?

According to ordinary theory, the situation at this time is unstable and the enemy's situation is unclear. The most taboo is greed for success. The more adept a general is, the more stable he is. At most, he will throw stones to ask for directions. After many trials, he will decide whether to attack or defend, not

As soon as a battle begins, it will be a matter of life and death.

In the past, they would definitely advise. If it comes to a life-or-death situation, it is not impossible to disobey Li Chengzhi's orders.

However, after Li Chengzhi pacified Woye, the two men suddenly felt that the experience they accumulated from decades of fighting in the north and south, and making countless military exploits, was not applicable to Li Chengzhi at all.

Otherwise, Li Shao would not have lamented that "after decades of fighting, suddenly there will be no more wars."

It would be impossible for any general to be like Li Chengzhi, who dared to rush to Beizhen with only two thousand cavalry.

It is even less possible to counterattack brazenly in a moment of panic and destroy an enemy several times more powerful with more than 10,000 troops.

Such a great victory can no longer be described with the word "miracle", it is completely beyond the understanding of Li Shao and others. And the tactics used by Li Chengzhi were exactly what they and the ministers in the court were most afraid of Li Chengzhi using.

"Strange" and "fast"?

And that extremely weird "thunder"...

When he thought of this word and Li Chengzhi's miraculous record in Beizhen, Li Shao suddenly felt relieved.

Either there will be a decisive battle tomorrow, or it will be a thunderous blow to the enemy with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai. It also depends on whether the enemy thieves dare to respond.

Why not give it a try for now?

Li Shao hesitated and said: "Why are you so anxious instead of seeking stability first?"

Looking for stability?

Li Chengzhi pondered for a while and said nothing, just shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't bother to explain, but there are only so many reasons that can be found. No matter how much he says, it will be superfluous.

It’s not that he thinks there’s anything wrong with seeking stability, on the contrary, this is the way to be mature and prudent.

Ask yourself, in terms of experience, compared with Li Shao and Diao Zheng, he is probably several floors behind.

It's just that they look at the problem from different angles, and their final demands are even more different: Li Shao and others want to fight steadily and step by step. If they use the power of one country to conquer a corner, what's the point of fighting for two or three years? As long as they finally win.

Just win.
