Chapter 56 Convergence
"Hmph, Li Neng is really too arrogant. I took my face before and told many generals that his cavalry training was insufficient. He was sure that he would look so arrogant. If he didn't have the courage to come, but if the soldiers waited for him, what big thing would he accomplish on the battlefield?"
At this time, Li Mi was sitting opposite Li Yu in the general's mansion, helping Li Yu analyze this matter. Of course, it is better to analyze Li Yu's situation in the battle for the prince than to analyze this battle.
"Mr. I don't know anything. My third brother has always been a person who will do what he says. If he really doesn't lead his army to Fengxiang tomorrow, I'm afraid something happened in the middle!"
Li Yu did not argue with Li Mi's previous analysis, but was worried that Li's cavalry had encountered some changes. After all, the five thousand elite soldiers brought by the Uighur Prince had also had an accident on the way. This kind of thing did not happen out of thin air.
"Although the Grand Marshal is relieved, General Guo Ziyi is very wise and has already made plans to deal with this situation. On the contrary, you should not regard King Jianning as your own. I was not wary of him at first, but his methods of dealing with Li Fuguo and Zhang Liangdi are really cruel. Once he develops, he will probably have the second Xuanwu Gate change!"
It is certainly impossible to say that Li Yu is not interested in the throne. When he thinks of the Xuanwu Sect, he can't help but think of Taizong's brother Li Jiancheng. They were born from the same father and mother, and he and Li Qing were not born from the same mother.
Seeing that Li Yu's face also became a little low, Li Mi continued: "This time, the Grand Marshal and Guo Ziyi were in command of the central army. Any decisions made by Guo Ziyi must be made from the Grand Marshal's mouth. If you win this battle, you can give him half of the credit to Guo Ziyi, but the biggest part must be yours. In this way, after returning to Chang'an City, I can plan the next step for the Grand Marshal."
Li Yu nodded slightly. Indeed, in such a turmoil, what he needed most was military achievements. In order to accumulate military achievements, the position of the Grand Marshal is now his. If he still cannot make enough military achievements in this position, Li Yu will indeed let the generals below look down upon it.
One day passed quickly. In fact, Fengxiang's defenders didn't know that Li Yan was going to come with 5,000 troops, but almost everyone knew that King Jianning would lead 5,000 troops back to Fengxiang as a vanguard to attack Chang'an City. For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the military camp.
"King Jianning is coming back? It seems that our chances of winning are a little higher. Haven't you heard that after King Jianning brought 10,000 troops to Suiyang, the siege of Suiyang was lifted!"
"That's right, when we were fighting with the rebels before, I once wanted King Jianning to fight. King Jianning would be so desperate. It would be just right to be this vanguard!"
"Ah! Having said that, you are afraid you don't know. The day for Your Majesty to lead King Jianning back to Fengxiang has come. If King Jianning doesn't come back tonight, he may have violated the military order..."
"Even if King Jianning doesn't come back, he has encountered an accident. If he wanted to run away, wouldn't he have followed the Supreme Emperor when he was at Mawei Post?"
"Oh! Let's talk less about the royal family. We should cultivate our spirits and see if we can survive this battle. Just be alive in this year!"
In the military camp, a soldier who was over forty years old ended the discussion, and then several soldiers went to a corner of the tent to sleep.
For them, they really couldn't imagine who could be so far away from being an emperor. Just as they said, it would be good to be able to live.
But before they could fall asleep, there were a lot of footsteps outside the tent, which scared several soldiers so much that they thought it was a rebel who had siege the city. They quickly got up and touched the weapons beside the pillow.
"Has the enemy attacked the city?" The soldier who had just gotten up came out of the tent with a big knife, quickly grabbed a passing soldier and asked.
"No, it's King Jianning who has arrived at the finale. He has arrived outside the city gate. We have no cavalry in Fengxiang. King Jianning has trained 5,000 cavalry in Suiyang these days! This time he comes, our chances of winning will increase greatly! Don't everyone go and see it?"
So, several more people joined the ranks.
Indeed, Li Neng led his 5,000 cavalry, as well as Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun, outside the city of Yong County, but the situation today was really not the result he wanted.
When Li Yan left Suiyang City, according to his original plan, the time was enough to rush back to Suiyang, and then he took the cavalry to set off. However, just in case, he left Zhang Xun a letter, which allowed Zhang Xun to open it in one day.
This letter was actually to ask Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun to take the cavalry to Fengxiang first once Li Wu delayed it. Li Wu went directly to Fengxiang's periphery and then met with Zhang Xun and the others.
As a result, things really came to this point. Zhang Xun opened the letter and saw it. It was written on it with a place not far from Yong County. According to Li Qing's instructions, he set off with his men.
When Zhang Xun and the others arrived at the place designated by Li Yi, Li Yi did not arrive, so they had to camp and wait until they were about to catch fire on Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun's butts were about to catch fire. Li Yi hurriedly rode his horse. The gray on his body was so thick that it was impossible to tell what color the clothes were.
At this time, Zhang Xun and the others didn't dare to ask anything. They could only lead five thousand cavalrymen to follow Li Qing, who had not had time to change his clothes. They rushed outside the city of Yong County when the time exceeded was only two hours left.
On the way, Zhang Xun also asked Li Yi if something had happened, but Li Yi did not reveal a word to him except for a smile and answering, "Everything is in control."
After arriving outside the city, Li Li, who was not breathing well, asked Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun to camp with their cavalry, and then went directly to Guo Ziyi's mansion to report.
Although it was getting late, at this critical moment, can Guo Ziyi sleep? Of course, it was not possible. However, he was not waiting for Li Yan, but was thinking about how he arranged the remaining troops to make up for it if Li Yan really didn't come.
