Yu Ren still persuaded him.

"What they did is wrong in this matter. But we can't be impulsive, otherwise we will just mess up the matter. You are waiting outside, and I will go in to find him." After saying that, Yu Ren let go of Lu Yue.

The two guards guarding the gate saw Yu Ren suddenly breaking through the gate and rushed up to stop him. "Hey, I said, you don't want to die? You dare to break in the General's Mansion!"

Yu Ren took out a jade sign from his arms and shook it at the two of them. "I am still the special envoy of King Lu. If you have something to do, who dares to stop him?"

When the two of them heard this, they were so scared that they dared not speak again. They deeply regretted that they had just taken a look away.

Yu Ren broke into the General's Mansion directly, and several servants in the mansion stepped forward to stop him, but were scared back by his jade token.

When he arrived at the hall, Li Zhaoji had just sat down under the support of one of his maids, who was still hurriedly wearing a belt for him. It seemed that he had just been shouted out of bed.

"Mr. Li is about to have a disaster, but you don't know it yet. You are still in the mood to go out to drink flower wine?"

As soon as Yu Ren came up, he said to himself. Li Zhaoji was startled by Yu Ren's words, and immediately woke up halfway through the alcohol. He quickly stood up from the chair. "What? But did the thieves break through Taizhou?"

"That's not. But if you don't send troops again, Yanzhou will be over soon!"

After hearing this, Li Zhaoji secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the chair. "It turned out to be Yanzhou."

As he said that, Li Zhaoji picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip. "Don't worry, General Yu. Yanzhou city is high and deep, as solid as a rock. It is impossible for those mobs of the Winter Stories to attack. We are about to use the power of King Lu to consume more of the strength of the thieves. In this way, when we send troops, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Li Zhaoji looked very confident.

When Yu Ren heard this, he slapped the table hard.

"Fuck! Is this what Zhao Yan told you? Let me tell you, if I hadn't risked my life to lead the elite of the Scented Sect out of Yanzhou and gave King Lu a chance to breathe, I'm afraid that Yanzhou City had been broken by now, and it would be as solid as a rock. Before I led my troops to break through the siege, the city broke seventeen places. Is this also called it as solid as a rock?

I really don't understand how Lord Li believed these lies."

Li Zhaoji suddenly heard Yu Ren's words and seemed to be surprised.

"No! Lord Zhao clearly said that he had sent someone to Yanzhou to spy on it soon. He said that Yanzhou City can be at least guarded for the first half of the year!"

Yu Ren was so angry that he really wanted to rush up and slap him. I really don’t know how he got the title of a famous general, but he was so confused.

"You can believe my lord Zhao's words? You don't think about why he said this to you? You still want you to stay in Jinan! If you stay in Jinan, the army will stay in Jinan, and his place will be the safest. Otherwise, you will take your men to Yanzhou. If you fight a defeat, the thieves from the Yinxiang Sect will take advantage of the victory. By then, Jinan and Taizhou will also be besieged by the thieves. At that time, he, the governor of Shandong, will not be easy to do.

If Yanzhou was only captured, he had no responsibility or risk. Anyway, he was just a civil servant, and the person responsible for quelling the rebellion was you, Lord Li. If the war was not good, the responsibility lies with you, Lord Li. His responsibility for Lord Zhao was only to try to control the impact of the rebellion to the smallest extent."

Li Zhaoji slapped his head and showed a sudden realization. "So that's it! No wonder, I said why Lord Zhao is so enthusiastic to me! He even said he wanted to marry a concubine for me. It turns out that Mao Ni is here."

As he said that, Li Zhaoji stood up. "Then, what should I do now?"

Let’s go to Zhao Yan right now, you must remember. No matter how he talks to you, you just need to remember a little..."

"We must send troops to Yanzhou!" Li Zhaoji rushed to say.

Yu Ren finally showed a hint of relief on his face.

"Walk!"

Without waiting for Yu Ren to urge him, Li Zhaoji had already walked out.

In the governor's yamen, Zhao Yan had already fallen asleep, but was dragged from the bed by Li Zhaoji.

"What's so urgent? My Lord Li!"

Zhao Yan seemed very dissatisfied with Li Zhaoji dragging him out of his soft concubine's arms.

"Mr. Zhao, we must send troops, we must send troops immediately!" Li Zhaoji said toughly.

Zhao Yan was a little surprised. "Didn't we have agreed on this matter? Yanzhou will not save it for the time being, so they will consume the strength of the rebels!"

"But I just got accurate information. Yanzhou City is already in danger. If the rebels attack Yanzhou, their morale will be greatly boosted, and the surrounding prefectures and counties will have many responses. By then, the situation in Shandong will be difficult to deal with."

Zhao Yan glared at Yu Ren, who was beside him, knowing that he must have said something to Li Zhaoji. He then pulled Li Zhaoji aside.

"I tell you, Lord Li. This matter is unhurried. The army that the emperor promised to us in Shandong has not yet arrived. If we send troops rashly at this time, we will easily be defeated. At that time, we are afraid that even Taizhou and Jinan will not be able to save it. If it really comes to that time, you and I will be very guilty!"

At this time, Li Zhaoji stopped listening to Zhao Yan's words and just kept shaking his head.

"Lord Yuan from Liaodong has just lost more than 100,000 elite troops recently. The emperor just wanted to send troops to us, but he couldn't send them out for a while. The team that barely gathered together could not fight the war at all. I have led troops for many years and know more than anyone else.

However, if the war situation in Shandong continues, it will only become worse and worse. Xu Hongru of the Wenxiang Sect has announced his ascension to the throne as the Emperor of Zhongxing Fulie. If we do not destroy them as soon as possible, more people will turn to them. By then, the situation will be even more uncontrollable.

Therefore, we must send troops to Yanzhou immediately to fight the rebels to the death."

This time, Li Zhaoji finally took out his experience and courage as a famous general on the battlefield and analyzed the situation very thoroughly.

Zhao Yan wanted to say again, Li Zhaoji had stopped him.

"Mr. Zhao doesn't have to say anything more. I will go to the teaching ground to order soldiers tomorrow. There are 12,000 horse and infantry in Jinan City, and I will take 10,000 away. Leave 2,000 people for Lord Zhao to defend the city. This should be enough, right?"

Zhao Yan was shocked when he heard this.

"How can this be done? Jinan City is so big. If the rebels attack, these two thousand people will not be enough to defend the city!"

"Then, either. Lord Zhao and I each lead 5,000 people. I will go to Taizhou and bring the 4,000 people in the city. Nine thousand of us are responsible for fighting against the thieves surrounding Yanzhou from the front. Lord Zhao is responsible for detouring behind the thieves, pointing directly to Tengxian, and taking down the thieves' general nest.

Lord Zhao chooses one of these two paths!"

Zhao Yan looked at Li Zhaoji. "Mr. Li must fight?"

"Must fight?"

"I'm sure you want to fight?"

"I'm sure I'll fight!"

"Don't Lord Zhao Li think about what the consequences would be if he was defeated?"

Li Zhaoji beat him up.

Yu Ren was worried that Li Zhaoji would be shaken by Zhao Yan again, so he hurriedly interjected, "Since the emperor kissed Lord Li's general, he hoped that Lord Li could wipe out the rioters in Shandong as soon as possible. If the emperor heard that Lord Li would not move and do nothing after he came, what would be the consequences?"

After hearing this, Li Zhaoji nodded immediately and showed a firm stance.

"Then, I'll choose the second method." Zhao Yan said. He also knew that Li Zhaoji was the general of Shandong who was personally ordered by the emperor. In terms of war, he still had to focus on him. Since Li Zhaoji insisted on sending troops repeatedly, he could no longer insist on opposing it. Otherwise, the emperor would know about this in the future. No matter what the war in Shandong was in, he would not be able to escape the charge of avoiding the enemy's cowardly battle.

Although Emperor Tianqi was just an ignorant child, Zhao Yan knew very well that the group of old ministers around him were extremely difficult to fool, especially those Donglin Party members. As an official of the Chu Party, Zhao Yan had to be cautious today when the Donglin Party was extremely powerful.

The next day, accompanied by Zhao Yan, Li Zhaoji went to the teaching ground to count the people. In order to prevent changes, Yu Ren followed Li Zhaoji almost indifferently.

Fortunately, the old boy's wrong nerve finally returned to normal and there was no delay.

The whole city of Jinan City was divided into three groups. The first group of 5,000 people, led by Li Zhaoji, was responsible for going south to reinforce Yanzhou, and looking for opportunities to fight the rebels to fight the decisive battle under Yanzhou City. The second group of 5,000 people, led by Zhao Yan, was responsible for detours to attack Teng County, the old camp of the Winter Sect. The third group of 2,000 people, led by the new Jinan Prefecture garrison, was responsible for guarding Jinan City.

The task assignment was completed, and Li Zhaoji did not delay for a moment, and led his troops to set off in the afternoon of the same day. Zhao Yan delayed and procrastinated, and gave a speech, a sacrifice to the flag, and a farewell. It was not until noon on the third day that the army began to leave the city.

At this time, Li Zhaoji was already carrying his five thousand troops to Taizhou City.

Just when their army was about twenty miles away from Taizhou City, they suddenly explored the horses and reported that they had found a large number of people who smelled incense and savored the incense ahead.
