In the camp.

"I throw a difficult problem at him. How will he deal with it? Is the desire to dispatch all the troops to destroy those ten thousand riders prevail, or is the desire to protect oneself more dominant? I am very curious."

Zhan Su smiled and said: "He knows that the army is outside the city. I am thinking, what if he sends one to rescue?"

"Then I'll attack that unit!" Chen Fangli said: "How many troops can he send? Five thousand or ten thousand, they can't withstand my full attack. Therefore, they must either come out with the whole army, or they can stay still.

, then don’t blame me for taking Shunchang!”

The scouts immediately came to report that Lin He sent five thousand troops to Shunchang.

Chen Fangli said with a smile: "This is a helpless move. I want to keep Shunchang and preserve my strength, but in this world, how can there be so much the best of both worlds? Send the order and attack!"

The army sets off.

Advance slowly.

Halfway through, the scouts came hurriedly from behind.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Xinjiang Army is dispatched!"

Chen Fangli was startled, "How many troops?"

"Twenty thousand riders!"

"This is containment!" Zhan Su said angrily: "As soon as we move, Huang Chunhui will get the news..."

The scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army are crazy and fearless of death.

The people of Beiliao have suffered a lot these days.

"But how does he know the purpose of our army?" someone asked.

"There is only one possibility, and that is that Huang Chunhui does not consider anything else at all, but only thinks about one thing, which is to contain the main force of our army." Chen Fangli said.

"Didn't that mean that the Northern Xinjiang Army cooperated with the Chenzhou Army? There is no distinction between priorities?"

…

"I am old, and I am willing to help young people."

In the residence of the Governor of Taoxian County, the old man leaned against the cabinet and smiled gently.

…

Chen Fangli stroked his beard and paced in the tent. After a while, he stopped and said, "I seem to have seen Yang Xuan roaring at me at the top of Linhe City. I have five thousand people and you have ten thousand people. Do you dare to fight?"

Everyone in the big tent was silent, but looked at Chen Fangli with bright eyes.

"Da Liao, are you afraid?" Chen Fangli smiled.

Zhan Su said slowly but firmly: "Da Liao has no fear!"

Chen Fangli said: "Fight!"

Zhan Su walked out of the tent and shouted: "Tell Gu Yuan that this battle can be won but not defeated."

"Take orders!"

A group of scouts solemnly accepted the order and then left.

The scouts caught up with Gu Yuan's army who was on their way.

"Chen Zhou's army attacks with five thousand cavalry. Your Majesty orders us to win this battle!"

"Take orders!"

Gu Yuan responded in a deep voice, and then asked: "How is Yang Gou?"

The scout reined in his horse and turned around, saying: "Yang Gou will use the main force of Chenzhou Army to contain our forward, and Taoxian County will send troops..."

Gu Yuan nodded, "I understand. In this case, your Majesty can't help me.

In this battle, I fought alone against the five thousand cavalry.

Report back to the king, this battle will be won. If defeated, I will definitely die in the battle!"

The scout looked at Gu Yuan with admiration, cupped his hands, "I wish Xiang a steady victory!"

Gu Yuan nodded, "The fortune of the Liao Dynasty is prosperous!"

The scout turned his horse and drove away.

Gu Yuan turned around, his eyes as sharp as knives, "Inquiry into the enemy's movements."

"Take orders!"

The scouts attack.

The army continued to march.

The scouts kept bringing news.

"The Tang army is advancing on the left side of our army!"

Gu Yuan glanced to the left and said, "Are you going to Shunchang in parallel with me?"

The deputy general said: "Xiangwen, if we let them rush to Shunchang and defend the fortified city, it will be difficult for our army to attack."

It is absolutely impossible for ten thousand to attack a city defended by five thousand unless the strength of both sides is extremely different.

The city is the defender's ally.

"You only see this point, but not the other point..." Gu Yuan said: "If those five thousand ride into Shunchang City, it seems that Shunchang is stable. But when His Majesty's army arrives, they will

Trembling in the city...

If your Majesty is willing, he can capture Shunchang City at any time, and the corpses of the five thousand riders are the sacrifices before the war! Therefore, I dare to say that the Tang army will not enter the city!"

The lieutenant suddenly realized, "Entering the city is a dead end!"

"Yes! It's a dead end!"

Ta-ta-ta!

A team of scouts arrived, "Xiangwen, the Tang army has stopped."

The deputy general glanced at Gu Yuan and held up his hands: "Xiang Wen's plan is unparalleled!"

He really admired Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan said lightly: "Don't underestimate your opponent."

"yes."

Immediately, the army stopped and began to set up camp.

Scouts kept coming and going, bringing news that the Tang army was also camping on the same spot.

"There is a tacit understanding." Gu Yuan stood outside the camp and said with his hands behind his back: "Don't underestimate this battle... The secret battle between His Majesty and Lin Ya and others begins from this battle."

The lieutenant general said: "Xiangwen seems to have failed to stand in line... I am reckless."

Gu Yuan knew that the deputy general was not being reckless, but wanted to test his position.

"I don't have a backing." Gu Yuan said: "It's not that I don't want to find a backing for myself. For many things, if you choose a side, you are wrong."

The deputy general said: "Xiangwen means that no matter which side you stand on, you will be attacked?"

"How many people have fallen on both sides of His Majesty and Lin Ya in these years? I said that I have no backing, so if I don't stand in line and focus on Daliao, who can find fault? This has been the case for me in these years.

"

The deputy general praised: "Xiangwen is indeed stable."

Gu Yuan smiled and said: "If you don't deliberately pursue fame and fortune, you naturally don't need to take sides."

Early morning of the second day.

The old thief got up early.

He first took out the pamphlet...even if he had memorized it by heart, he still had to take a look at it to feel at ease.

"Old thief!"

Wang Laoer came, "That chamberlain is running around in the camp."

"Leave him alone. By the way, you didn't offend him, did you?" The old thief collected the book.

Wang Laoer took out a piece of dried meat and said, "No, I just told him not to poop everywhere. Why are you so embarrassed, old thief? Lang Jun said, what kind of diseases can be easily spread by defecating everywhere? That person looks sick at first glance...

…Why are you pinching me?”

When Wang Laoer saw the old thief looking behind him, he slowly turned around.

Xue Fei stood not far behind, looking at him blankly.

Did you hear them all?

Wang Laoer patted his butt and said, "Let's go."

Damn, this bitch is so heartless.

The old thief chased after him, "Why did you offend him?"

Wang Laoer ate the dried meat and said vaguely: "I know Mr. Lang doesn't like them."
