Li Xiu was frustrated in the first battle, and Li Yuan led two thousand cavalry to break the battalion. After this battle, he felt timid in his heart and was ready to retreat!
And the scout came to report saying that Song Wensong’s army was turning around. Song Wensong’s goal should be directed at Sheng Jing. Li Xiu still had Sheng Jing’s safety in his heart, and thought that the prince wanted him to chase Song Wensong, and that Song Wensong must not be allowed to follow Song Wensong easily. Liaodong left and went to Shandong.
Now Song Wensong's army did not go east, but went to the west to outflank Shengjing. In this case, why should he continue to venture outside? Isn't it better to wait in Shengjing and wait for work with ease?
Thinking of this in his heart, he immediately sent an order to withdraw the army, and the counsellor in the army leaned over and said: "The general, the general of the prince asks the general to go out of the city for battle, and must confront Song Wensong head-on, absolutely not let this dog go east!"
Li Xiu said, "The scout came to report that Song Wensong didn't go east, he was clearly going west, he was going to copy from behind to besiege Shengjing! Is there something wrong with the scout's news?"
"General, do you know that soldiers like to play mystery? There is also a curious way of using soldiers. Song Wensong's use of soldiers is the most deceitful. His use of soldiers is often erratic. Now it must be fake if he is heading west. His true intention should be to go to Shandong. !"
Li Xiu frowned slightly, and he was silent. After a long time, he said: "I am also a soldier. Of course I know that there are peculiarities in the use of soldiers, but I also know the truth about the life of the foreign monarch!
The prince asked me to abandon Shengjing and pursue Song Wensong. The original intention was that I would rather abandon Shengjing, but also must win Song Wensong. If the two cannot have both, Sheng Jing can give up, and Song Wensong must die!
But the situation is different now. Song Wensong is seeking his own way. Not only did he not run, but he was still not convinced! Hmph, he thought that if Li Yuan broke my camp, would I hurt my vitality?
I just want to fight him again in Shengjing, this time if he comes again, I will let him die without a place to bury him! "
As the main general, Li Xiu made a decision that other people could object, but must be executed, so the army evacuated and returned to Shengjing City.
In fact, Li Xiu is still worried about Shengjing, nothing else, because Li Xiu's interests are also in Shengjing. Lu Zheng directed Zhang Pinghua at Lianghe, and he was not on the scene when Chen Lizhong started the fire! He still thinks of the Li family in his heart, and it is too difficult and too difficult for him to give up Shengjing!
The first time he gave up Shengjing, it was because he had to do it. If he didn't abandon the city, then everyone and the land would perish, so how could he be able to bear it?
But the situation is different now. Li Xiu thinks that he has enough power to deal with Song Wensong. Song Wensong has lost thousands of people in Shengjing's defeat, and now Song Wensong is in short supply of food and horses. Under this situation, Liaodong It is no longer a situation that Song Wensong can control.
Li Xiu rebels against the guest, how can he regard himself as a weak person, wanting to abandon the city to compromise?
Besides, Song Wensong led the army to pretend. He just ran for a day. The scout came to report and received the news of Li Xiu returning to the city for defense. Hearing this news, the whole army was very encouraged. Song Wensong said:
"Where is Li Yuan?"
Li Yuan, who had just won the battle, stepped forward and said loudly: "The end will be here!"
Song Wensong laughed loudly and said: "Okay, what a Yuan Ze, you are really my Han Xin! This battle was fought beautifully, come here, see and appreciate!"
Li Yuan was rewarded with a daughter, and he was promoted to a level as the main general. At present, because he is in the army, he has to wait for the upgraded official robe and soldier talisman to wait for the next item!
After Li Yuan received the reward, the morale of the generals under his hands rose greatly, and they were eager to try. Seeing that their morale was restored, Di Qinghai said:
"Everyone, we are all top-notch elites in the Northwest Army! Do you know who this Li Xiu is? This person was originally a **** from the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River. I joined the Nanfu Army by mistake, and met a nobleman in the Nanfu Army.
This person is unlearned and skillless, just brave, so it is not difficult to deal with this person! In this way, I can say responsibly that any one of our generals can fight him, and even surpass him!
Therefore, this time we will be able to attack Shandong. With Li Xiu's timid attitude, can he stop us? "
Di Qinghai’s statement can boost morale more than Song Wensong, because the army fought all the way from the northwest to Liaodong. Song Wensong often made mistakes in the use of troops, and sometimes even put the army in danger.
But Di Qinghai is not the case. As long as Di Qinghai has said, there is nothing wrong with the strategy he has used! This time, Li Yuanze’s night attack is the most typical example. Li Yuanze is a mere two thousand people and is on another’s territory. The point is that Li Xiu is not an ordinary general. What this person is best at is head-on confrontation. However, under such circumstances, is it strange that Li Yuan did a great job in one battle? Is Di Qinghai good?
Now Di Qinghai encouraged them, one sentence topped 10,000, and everyone's emotions were mobilized for a while, and morale skyrocketed. Song Wensong was greatly surprised when he saw this scene, and was even more impressed by Di Qinghai's ability.
He immediately said: "Everyone, since this is the case, what hasn't been said, our army will go east immediately, and strive to leave Liaodong within two days and directly attack Shandong. The goal is to win Jeju!"
Song Wensong once again showed his courage as a hero at a critical time. He did have weaknesses in fighting battles, but his strengths were also very obvious, that is, he would not persuade him to make decisions at critical times.
He is sometimes proud and often inflated. Even once the fight is smooth, his decision-making can make people laugh. But at this time, his mind is very clear, that is, he must attack Shandong at any cost.
This time the troops sent Lianshan to attack Liaodong originally had an advantage, but now that there is no advantage, Liaodong has lost its value, and the new value lies in Shandong!
The generals are about to act, Di Qinghai said: "Wait, it is good for us to run so fast for the whole army, but for Li Xiu, I am afraid there are still variables!
Li Xiu is like a wild dog. The wild dog is afraid of people. If we are fierce and put pressure on them, the wild dog will often run away in fright.
But sometimes we run fast, and when we see a wild dog turn around and run, the dog thinks that we are afraid of him, and he will drive to us desperately. Once wild dogs become mad, it is very scary. They dare to swear, dare to bite, and we must have a strategy to deal with such animals! "
Song Wensong was completely convinced by Di Qinghai at this time. When Di Qinghai said so, Song Wensong said hurriedly: "Then what should we do now according to Mr.'s intention?"
Di Qinghai laughed and said, "I still think that General Li Yuanze has done too little merit! At this time, I think we have to let Li Yuanze lead two thousand men and horses in ambush at the Kalazikou. If we escape far away, Li Xiu will Chase, when he chased Kalazikou, General Li Yuanze could use the advantage of the terrain to suddenly send troops and hit him by surprise!
Haha, Li Xiu, in such a situation, he is unavoidable to chase him, and he may even retreat to Shengjing immediately. Once that happens, why do we need to rush? Our army rushed to Shandong can be said to be very calm and relaxed! is not it? "
Song Wensong was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak. After a long time, he said: "Mr. Di is really a Zhuge in the world. Even if Lu Zheng personally guards Shengjing, he may not be able to see through such a strategy!
Li Yuanze, do you dare to take over this task? Are you sure to keep those **** out of the mouth of Karatze? "
Li Yuan said loudly: "The prince can rest assured, Li Yuan will use his head to guarantee that Li Xiu will be hit again this time, so that Li Xiu will no longer be able to be an enemy of us!"
Song Wensong immediately ordered 20,000 horses for Li Yuan, and then parted ways. Song Wensong directly led the main force to the southeast and marched quickly towards Shandong.
Besides, after Li Xiu returned to Shengjing, news of Shengjing arrived and sent to Lianghe one day at a time. In addition, Sheng Jing's scouts are passing news outside every day. According to the scout's news, the Northwest Army who had been roundabout and outflank Shengjing suddenly disappeared and disappeared completely!
Then the next day, the scout heard another news that Song Wensong's army had gone east and was about to cross the border of Liaodong and head straight for Shandong.
Hearing this news, Li Xiu struck her chest and realized that she might have made a mistake in her judgment! The counsellors around him also said one after another, saying that Song Wensong would not be allowed to go to Shandong easily anyway.
Li Xiu couldn't help but went to Lu Mansion again. After hearing Li Xiu's report, Lu Shanchang looked extremely ugly and said:
"General Li, I shouldn't have interfered in military affairs! But the prince said that Shandong is the foundation of my Dakang. If Shandong is lost, where is my Dakang community?
So the order the prince gave you is to abandon Liaodong rather than Shandong! At this time, you hesitated. There was a great opportunity to contain Song Wensong, but the ghosts and gods were slow to march because they couldn't let go of Liaodong. If you missed the opportunity, how could the prince forgive you? "
When Li Xiu heard what Lu Shanchang said, his tears burst out immediately and said:
"Old lady, wronged! Really wronged! Old lady, think about it, Shengjing is so big, with so many wealthy powers, especially the old lady, you are in Shengjing, how can I abandon this as a defender of Shengjing? What about a big city?
Let's not hide the old lady, I really can't do it! Now that Song Wensong has made a clear move, I will personally lead the army on the expedition today, but after I set off, I hope that the old lady can control the people in the city and don’t let the people in the city float. There is also a city defense battalion in the city. Although the defense is empty, some people will Can't relax in defense, Shengjingcheng can't be defenseless, do you think the old lady? "
Lu Shanchang said: "You can rest assured, General Li, even if you go on an expedition, I can control the situation in Shengjing City. As long as General Li can complete the task assigned by the prince, it doesn't matter that we are aggrieved, is it?"
