Liu Duoxian's words just finished, but Li Ke a pair of eyes staring at himself, let Liu Duoxian a little confused for a time. After a long time, Li Ke looked away from her eyes, sighed and said, "it's so obvious! I don't blame you for saying this. After all, the contradiction between the state of Zhou and the state of Qin is too deep! However, you must remember that no matter what kind of hatred we have between the state of Da Zhou and the state of post Qin, we are all Han people! They are all the people of the Qin Empire who once dominated the world
Li Ke said the last two words, but Liu Duoxian's body couldn't help shaking, staring at Li Ke. Li Ke continued: "you have been in the army for a short time, and some things may not be known. This northern alien never gave up their desire to invade the south. When the seven southern states were first settled, there was an invasion. At that time, it was the joint efforts of the four countries of the state of Qin, Shu, the former Tang Dynasty and our state of Zhou to repel the invasion of the northern alien. In order not to cause panic to the people in the south, the invasion was concealed by the joint efforts of several countries. Since then, the six Han countries in the South have signed an alliance. As long as the northern alien invades the south, the six countries will unite unconditionally to resist the northern alien army! "
What Li Ke said was a first-class secret. Liu Duoxian was stunned when he heard it. Although he was a descendant of the aristocratic family, the master of the Liu family did not know such secret information. At last, he understood why Li Ke refused to lead the army to break through the encirclement even though he knew that he would lose the battle. He insisted on staying to resist the Liao army. However, although understood Li Ke's idea, Liu Duoxian's face was still full of puzzlement and said: "general! Even so, we don't have to drag ourselves in the city like this? With our present strength, if we stay in the city, we will lose sooner or later. It is better to break through the encirclement earlier and preserve the strength of our army. And now that the city of NAO is surrounded by groups, I'm afraid the outside world does not know about the news of the Liao army's southward March. If we break through the encirclement, we can also transmit this news to other countries in time. "
What Liu Duoxian said was reasonable, but Li Ke shook her head again and said, "no! You are wrong about that! If I am not wrong in my estimation, I am afraid that the news of the invasion of the Liao army will at least be known by the post Qin State! Don't underestimate the post Qin state. If it wasn't for Bian Cheng's change, with the strength of our big Zhou state, it would never have been possible to invade Hou Qin! "
After listening to Li Ke's praise of the strength of the state of Qin, Liu Duoxian, a general of the Zhou army, was not satisfied. Although the rumor that the army of the later Qin Dynasty was the best in the world had long been the law of the southern countries, Liu Duoxian could not help but despise the latter Qin army for its victory in the battle of naocheng not long ago. Seeing Liu Duoxian's expression, Li Ke also knew that Liu Duoxian was too contemptuous of the post Qin army, and even said, "Duoxian! Don't underestimate the strength of the post Qin army! And this time our countries want to resist the invasion of the northern alien, the post Qin army is absolutely the main force! The big reason why we were able to capture naocheng this time was that we caught the other side by surprise. If it's hard work, we'll have to pay a big price even if we win the city! "
After saying a few words, Li Ke stopped preaching in this respect. He believed that it would be more effective to use facts to illustrate the strength of the post Qin army in the future. Immediately, Li Ke began to explain what he said before: "as for the fact that the later Qin State knew about the invasion of Liao army, I guessed it based on the story of Cangwu Jianzong. In fact, at the beginning, I found it strange that the state of Qin had arranged so many troops in this city. Even if I had guessed that our Zhou Dynasty would use troops against the latter Qin state, according to the practice of the latter Qin state, it should be to take back the troops and horses in Bian city. Let's first capture a few cities and then point out the Qi army to fight back! "
Of course, Li Ke's statement was not random, which was also the consistent practice of the post Qin state. Because of the strong attitude of the post Qin state, there was friction with neighboring countries. Whether it was the invasion of Dachang more than ten years ago, or the siege of the four countries three years ago, the tactics adopted by the post Qin state were tightening counterattack. The fact has also proved that this tactic is very effective. The number of troops and horses of the southern countries was not large, and they had to be wary of each other. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was strong, and the targeted counterattack could always drive the invaders out of the territory.
However, when Li Ke arrived at the border of the two countries with his troops, he found that there were 6000 people in the city, and there were generals like Li Yuanhe and Wang. At the beginning, Li Ke only doubted, and finally believed that it was the new ruler of the post Qin state, Ying Zhen, that changed his tactics. But now it seems that Li Yuanhe's troops stationed in naocheng were not aimed at the Zhou army, but against the Liao army!
Li Ke couldn't help laughing bitterly. Unexpectedly, she broke the deployment of the later Qin State against the Liao army. Instead, she continued to say to Liu Duoxian: "the Cangwu sword clan was a famous school in the post Qin state, but now it seems that it is an important chess piece placed by the Liao army in the post Qin state. The later Qin state must have paid more or less attention to this matter. The important members of Cangwu sword sect appeared in naocheng, and the latter Qin state could not not have noticed it. So I conclude that the latter Qin state must have known the changes in naocheng. What we have to do is to try our best to keep the city and wait for the reinforcements of the later Qin State! "After listening to Li Ke's analysis, Liu Duoxian also knew that Li Ke was determined to stick to the city. Although he was still dissatisfied with the need to help the post Qin state, Liu Duoxian still supported Li Ke's decision without hesitation. What's more, if there is no law in Liu Ke's mind, it will be easier to prove the law in Liu's mind!
After persuading Liu Duoxian, Li Ke immediately sent Liu Duoxian to the rear. Although Li Ke was sure that the Liao army would not attack again today, the officers and men at the checkpoint lost too much in this battle today. In order to cope with the battle tomorrow, we must allocate the troops from the rear. Of course, it is most appropriate for Liu Duoxian to handle this matter, and Liu Duoxian did not refuse, even if he was ordered to leave.
After Liu Duoxian left, the smile on Li Ke's face gradually faded. Although what he had just said to Liu Duoxian was not a lie, Li Ke still concealed part of it. It is true that the state of post Qin might have known about the Liao army's attack, but it is not certain whether the latter Qin will send troops to help. Not to mention that Li Ke had just captured the city of the post Qin state, and now other countries are still under the leadership of the state of Zhou. They have joined hands to attack the state of Qin. I'm afraid that the state of post Qin is also too busy now. And even if the post Qin state now has the ability to help, it is doubtful whether the new post Qin ruler Ying Zhen will send troops.
Thinking of this, Li Ke's face is full of bitterness. However, she has taken these 40000 generals of the state of Zhou as an indemnity. He can't tell whether it is a duke or a selfishness. Thinking of this, Li Ke can't help but think of Li Yuanhe, the general of the post Qin army who met outside the city a few days ago. In fact, Li Ke's most hopeful is the thousands of post Qin troops in Xian city!
Even if Ying Zhen was willing to send troops to help, Bian Cheng had a long way to get here. Far water could not save the near fire. Although Li Yuan and his men had only a few thousand men, the powerful fighting capacity of the post Qin army might have played an unexpected role. While thinking about it, Li Ke turned her head and looked at Xian city. She sighed silently in her heart: "Li Yuanhe, don't let me down!"
In any case, the victory of the Zhou army tonight greatly inspired the confidence of the soldiers and the people in the city. Both the officers and soldiers of the Zhou army, the local people and the big and small forces in the city cheered when they learned that the Liao army was defeated at the second checkpoint. It was also rare in the city. Compared with the bustle of the city, the Liao army camp at the foot of the mountain seems a little dead.
As early as after the Liao army captured the first checkpoint, the Liao army set up a camp at the foot of the mountain. The camp of hundreds of thousands of troops was just like throwing a piece of white rice on the ground, which was not spectacular. However, after the Liao army which went to attack the second checkpoint retreated back to the camp, there was more tension in the camp.
However, the largest military tent in the center of the whole camp is several times larger than that of the surrounding camp. Around the tent, there are few soldiers in the Liao army who wear excellent armor. Needless to say, this must be the army account of the commander of the Liao army.
"Hum! Waste A shout came out of the tent. The soldiers of Liao army just looked at each other with their eyes, but they didn't talk much. The general, who had just led the army up the mountain to attack the city, was defeated and returned, and immediately there was such a roar from the commander of the army. These soldiers knew in their hearts that the ordinary general, who was so arrogant, would be in bad luck this time. It seems that in order to verify the conjecture of these soldiers, there was a roar again from the army account: "come on! Drag Jerome down and cut it off! "
On hearing the order, several soldiers immediately turned around and got into the army tent. There were only five people in the army tent. One of them, who was sitting in the center of the army tent, looked more than thirty years old. He was rugged, full of flesh, with a hook nose and a beard on his upper lip. He had a unique hair style of the Liao people. Except for a braid on the back of his head, all the others were injured It's shaved off. Looking at his dress up, he was dressed in glittering armor, which was very luxurious. He had a machete inlaid with gold wire hanging from his waist. He knew that his appearance was very valuable.
