Seeing that Li Yu had made up his mind, everyone was speechless and agreed in unison.

Next, Li Yu asked Zhang Hong to write a few letters for him.

He himself discussed the tactics against Xi Yu's army with Meng Liao, Ming Zhao, Xi Zhuo and others.

Li Yu was completely unsure whether he could win this battle.

He asked Zhang Hong to write one letter to his father Li Hui, and the other few were for the kings.

The content of the letter is basically the same, which is to request reinforcements.

He asked Li Hui for the support of the capital army and the kings for the support of the fiefdom army in various states.

Li Yu must leave a backup plan for Pyeongchang County.

If he loses himself, Pyeongchang County may at least receive reinforcements from the capital army and the kings.

Of course, whether the capital army will come to help, and whether the kings will send their respective troops to help Pyeongchang County, Li Yu did not dare to have too much hope.

But with such a critical situation now, he could only treat it as a life.

Do your best and leave your fate!

Li Yu, Meng Liao and others formulated a battle plan.

In this battle, they divided into three groups.

The 10,000 infantry soldiers of the capital army were one route, the 2,000 cavalry soldiers of the capital army were one route, and the 3,000 troops of Xi Zhuo were one route.

When the war started, ten thousand Kipan troops were the main force and faced the oxen army head-on.

The other two groups of soldiers were ambushed on the left and right sides of the battlefield.

When the two sides fought to a stalemate, the two groups of soldiers suddenly rushed out and penetrated directly into the Xiao Army.

In this way, the Xiao army will inevitably be in chaos.

Only in this battle can you win.

The most critical and dangerous thing about this tactic is the ten thousand imperial troops who are in a head-on confrontation.

They must resist the fierce offensive of the Xiaoyang Army head-on and drag the war to a stalemate.

Only in this way can the two ambushed troops suddenly emerge and miraculously achieve miraculous results.

If these ten thousand capital troops were defeated by one blow, causing the enemy to form a comprehensive crushing force, then the two ambushed troops would lose their meaning.

Everyone had a disagreement on who would lead the main force of the 10,000 capital army and who would lead the 2,000 capital cavalry.

Meng Liao believed that he should command the main force himself, and Li Yu should command the cavalry.

It’s not that Meng Liao is greedy for merit or military power, but that it is too dangerous for his main force.

With 10,000 people and more than 20,000 Xiaoyang Army, there is a possibility of a complete collapse at any time.

As the chief general of the army, the enemy's priority attack target may also die at any time.

However, Li Yu did not give in and insisted on commanding the main force himself and let Meng Liao command the cavalry.

The two of them refused to give in. At the end of the argument, Li Yu said: "I am the prince. With me, the morale of the soldiers in the army will not collapse at least. No matter how unfavorable the situation is, at least they still have the power to fight."

Speaking of this, Li Yu looked at Meng Liao.

And you?

You are a general of the border army. Do you think you can have the same prestige as me in the capital army?

Will the soldiers of the capital army fight to the death with the people of Xiaoyang for you?

It’s not that Li Yu deliberately used his identity to suppress Meng Liao, but that’s the reality!

Meng Liao lowered his head and whispered: "I am not going to fight with Your Highness..."

"I know."

Li Yu said: "General Meng wants to protect me."

Meng Liao said with a choked voice: "This battle is dangerous, Your Highness, you don't have to take this risk."

Li Yu said: "Yes! But wouldn't it be safer if I stayed in the capital?"

He looked around everyone present and said, "These soldiers of the capital army are the Pyeongchang County where I brought them from the capital. Now the war is imminent, and I cannot leave them and hide aside myself."

This is neither moral!

No sense of responsibility.

Li Yu's words moved everyone present.

All the commanders intervened and bowed, and said in unison: "I am willing to follow Your Highness, and I will die without hesitation!"

There is a reason why Li Yu is gathering more and more people around him.

The prince's identity is only one aspect.

The most important point is that he has a personal charm that is not common to others.

He seems absurd to do things, but he values ​​love and righteousness.

He seems to be uneasy to play cards, but he is very responsible.

Following people like Li Yu, people will naturally feel at ease, security and belonging.

That night, Li Yu couldn't sleep.

He walked out of the room, and Jinwu, who was guarding the door, immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness?"

Li Yu waved his hand to the golden crow and said, "Don't follow me, I'll just go around!"

Li Yu is under great pressure now.

It is completely unknown whether the battle tomorrow will lose or win.

Originally, he planned to stick to the city and buy time for Ruqi to build a crossbow.

But the plan did not change quickly.

Tomorrow will be both the first battle with the main force of the Xiao Army and the decisive battle between the two sides!

This battle is related to the life and death of more than 10,000 soldiers, and also to the life and death of tens of thousands of people in Pyeongchang County.

Even if this battle is lost, Heyang County and even other counties in Liangzhou will suffer.

How could Li Yu not be under great pressure?

He paced slowly aimlessly in the mansion.

From time to time, soldiers patrolling by, intervened and saluted him.

Li Yu walked to a villa without realizing it.

There is no one here.

The yard is big and empty.

Li Yu walked to the center of the yard, stretched out his muscles and bones, pulled out the sword under his ribs, and danced twice with the formation-breaking sword.

He now needs to distract himself and relax his tense nerves.

After practicing the two sets of broken formation knives, Li Yu sighed, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, sat on the ground, and looked up at the night sky.

The ancient night sky is so blue!

You can also see the galaxy.

Just as Li Yu was in a daze, a loud noise came from a big tree in the yard.

Li Yu didn't think about it, and raised his hand and a water ball immediately appeared in his palm.

Swish!

A person suddenly jumped off the treetops.

Li Yu was about to throw the water ball out of his hand, but soon, he dispersed the water ball again, stood up from the ground, patted his butt, frowned and asked, "Why did you run in?"

The one who came down from the tree was Manying.

Manying said disapprovingly: "Although your guards are strict, they still can't stop me!"

Li Yu asked, "What are you doing here?"

Manying did not answer directly, but asked back: "I heard that tomorrow you will lead troops and go to the border to fight the Xiao Army to the decisive battle?"

"How did you know?"

"Now it's spreading in the city!"

“…”

"The prefect Zhang Hong is summoning strong men everywhere in the city to consolidate the city's defense!"

“…”

This Zhang Hong is not only a big mouth, but also has no confidence in himself.

If he thinks that he can win tomorrow's battle, he will not need to consolidate his city defense.

He believed that he would be defeated, so he prepared to be strictly guarded in Pyeongchang City in advance.

Manying asked, "You really have to take the initiative tomorrow?"
Chapter completed!
