V3.Chapter 88

There are also reasons why Chen Lihua didn't lead the army to attack the rebels immediately. First, in the battle of Wangxi plain, Chen Lihua was also shocked by the fighting power of the rebels. From the heart, he didn't want to continue to have a direct confrontation with the rebels without reinforcements.

The second and most important reason was that at that time, it happened to be the most intense stage of internal fighting in the court of the state of Sichuan. Xiao Xiang was engaged in a life and death struggle for the throne with the eldest childe party. After the first World War in Wangxi plain, Zhang situ specially sent a letter to Chen Lihua to let him temporarily avoid fighting with the rebels and preserve his combat power for a rainy day.

For these two reasons, Chen Lihua didn't immediately regroup and attack on a large scale after she hit the rebels hard, but gathered forces to rest and train, but this also gave the rebels a chance to breathe.

After the banquet, the banquet hall immediately became a conference hall. Qingyu takes the opportunity to carefully ask the counselors and generals present about the current situation of Zhenjun.

Now, Li Shu's intention is very obvious, that is to stick to Bainan county.

Li Shu concentrated the troops of Zhen army at the junction of Bainan county and fantiao county. It can be seen that he has planned to fight the Sichuan army to the end here and keep it out of Bainan county.

There is nothing wrong with his idea. Bainan county is the last territory of the rebels. If they can't hold it here, the rebels can't escape if they want to escape.

But can Zhen army resist the attack of Sichuan army? The Zhenjun army is good at attacking but bad at defending, and fighting tough battles is one of the best skills of the Sichuan army. It is not how brave the Sichuan army is in fighting tough battles, but that the Sichuan army is too well equipped and has a large number of large equipment specially prepared for tough battles. If the war really breaks out, Zhenjun is afraid to hit the stone with an egg and destroy himself.

Seeing Qingyu's thoughtful expression, Li Shu trembled and asked carefully, "does general Qingyu think it's difficult for our army to resist the Sichuan army?"

Qingyu doesn't hide it and silently nods her head. Li Shu immediately became nervous and asked, "then... How does general Qingyu think our army should deal with the attack of the Sichuan army?"

"Well, I have to think it over again." Qingyu didn't reply to Li Shu immediately, but seeing Li Shu's sad face and worry, he smiled calmly and comforted: "there must be a way when the car comes to the front of the mountain, and the boat will be straight at the end of the bridge. There will be a response after all, and the senior general doesn't have to worry too much." As he spoke, he turned and asked, "general, I wonder if I can take a walk in your army's barracks?"

Just listening to others' introduction, Qingyu still can't accurately understand the current situation of Zhenjun. He must go and have a look in person before he can know well, and then he can work out the way to resist and even break the enemy.

Li Shu said hurriedly, "of course. When is general Qingyu going to the barracks?"

Qingyu took up his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, saying, "now!"

"Well... General Qingyu is tired all the way. Do you want to take a day off first?"

"No need." Qingyu zhengse said, "the military situation is changing and can't be delayed."

Seeing his insistence, Li Shu was no longer polite. He stood up and said, "I'll go with general Qingyu." With that, he looked at Tang Yin in embarrassment. The latter smiled, also stood up and said with a smile, "Ben Wang is really going to visit."

After the banquet, Tang Yin and Qingyu did not rest in the city, but were accompanied by Li Shu and others to the Zhenjun camp outside the city.

The conditions of Zhenjun are very difficult, and the camp is also very simple. A circle of simple wooden fences are set outside, and some anti horses are placed in addition.

Entering it is like entering a slum. Looking around, the tents are dilapidated. Some are patched and some are patched together. Looking at the equipment of the soldiers of the Zhen army, it's even worse. They wear the armor assisted by the wind country, which is made of leather. Since there is no spare armor to replace, almost everyone's armor has damage, and even some old, weak, sick and disabled people don't wear armor at all.

It's better to say that the most worrying thing is that the morale of Zhenjun is generally low, and the whole camp is also dead. There is no fighting spirit on people's faces, only numbness. It seems that people have lost their desire to win.

Moreover, Tang Yin and Qingyu also noticed that 23% of the officers and soldiers of Zhenjun were injured. However, for Zhenjun, as long as they can walk and can afford weapons, they are all minor injuries, and they are still included in the ranks of combat soldiers.

How can such a Zhen army resist the full-scale attack that the Sichuan army may launch at any time?

Li Shu led the way and led Tang Yin and Qingyu to the Chinese Army account. He waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, general Qingyu, sit in the Chinese Army account first and have a rest!"

"You're welcome, general. I'm not tired." Qingyu smiled and refused Li Shu's kindness, and then said, "well, the general will rest in the account of the Chinese army first, and I'll walk around with the king."

"This..."

"Is the general worried that the king and I will be lost in your camp?" Qingyu asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, of course I don't mean that."

After pondering for a moment, Li Shu nodded and said, "well, I'll wait for your highness and general Qingyu in the middle army tent." With that, he turned back and shook his head to the guard behind him. The guards understood and immediately separated more than 100 people and stood around Tang Yin and Qingyu.

After all, the soldiers in the army don't know Tang Yin and Qingyu. Li Shu is also worried that misunderstandings and accidents will happen when they wander around the camp.

Tang Yin and Qingyu didn't refuse Li Shu's sending people to follow him. After they said goodbye to Li Shu, they walked to the hinterland of Zhen military camp.

They didn't wander aimlessly, but went to the north of the camp, facing fantiao County in the north. If the Sichuan army attacked, it must fight from north to south. The defense of the North Camp is very important, which is also directly related to the success or failure of the Zhen army.

When they came to Beiying, Tang Yin and Qingyu were disappointed. Relatively speaking, the defense of Beiying was a little stronger than that of other places, but it was just that the wooden fence acting as the stronghold wall was a little higher and stronger, and there were more horses outside. They didn't even dig a trench to block the enemy's infantry.

Alas! Qingyu sighed, shook his head and whispered to Tang Yin: "king, the defense of Zhenying is in vain. If it is the main force of Sichuan army to attack, it can't resist at all." As he spoke, he went to the wooden fence and kicked it.

Qingyu has been ill since he was young, and his bones have been very weak, but he can kick the wooden fence slightly with his strength. It can be seen how casually Zhenjun's camp is built.

He smiled bitterly and said, "if I didn't know that Li Shu has no way back now, I really doubt whether he plans to fight to the death with the Sichuan army here."

Tang Yin also smiled bitterly. He had read Tao Yuanfeng's letter saying that the rebels were irregular. He just didn't expect that they would be so irregular that they couldn't even build a camp. What about defense?

Before he spoke, a big man dressed as a commander came over. He first looked at Tang Yin and Qingyu, and then looked at the many guards around him. His face was full of doubts and asked, "are you two..."

Tang Yin didn't mean to answer. Qingyu said, "my name is Qingyu. I'm from the wind country."

"Ah! So your excellency is the famous general Qingyu. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful!" Unlike other Zhenjun soldiers, the commander was so rude that he politely saluted Qingyu.

"You're welcome, brother." Qingyu bows back with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Qingyu was so approachable that he would return a gift to himself. He was surprised, but he didn't show it too obviously. He looked left and right, and suddenly whispered, "general Qingyu came all the way. It's superfluous!"

His words stunned Tang Yin and Qingyu. Li Shu was eager to see Qingyu coming. He hoped that Qingyu could solve his urgent need. The commander said that his arrival was superfluous.

Qingyu said with a smile, "is this big brother so confident that he can win the Sichuan army?"

The commander shook his head with a dull expression and said, "don't hide from general Qingyu. On the contrary, once the Sichuan army attacks, our army will be defeated. General Qingyu comes now, which is not only superfluous, but also puts himself in danger. If the villain is general Qingyu, he doesn't care about anything now and rushes back to the wind country immediately."

Tang Yin almost laughed when he heard the speech. Qingyu didn't think this person's words were funny. Instead, he felt that he didn't accord with Zhen's personality. It was more difficult than going to heaven to make the rebellious Zhen admit defeat.

He said slowly, "the general, all the counselors and generals don't think this war will be defeated. Why do you say that? Aren't you afraid to spread this word to the general's ears and treat you for a crime of disturbing the morale of the army?"

The commander smiled bitterly and said, "in the battle of Wangxi plain, our army lost more than 100000 brothers for no reason, which has led to a big mistake. Now the general has decided to stick to the border, which is even more a big mistake. As long as the Sichuan army comes, no one in the whole army will live, and both sides will die. What am I afraid of now?"

Yo! This person's opinion is quite original! Tang Yin and Qingyu feel the same. This time, without waiting for Qingyu to speak, Tang Yin asked, "what's your name?"

The commander raised his eyes to Tang Yin, stared at him for a moment, then arched his hands and said, "I'm leaving in the lower Yin, just a small commander in the army..."

Before he had finished speaking, Tang Yin continued to ask, "you said that if the Sichuan army attacked, you would be completely annihilated. Then how can you avoid the danger of being annihilated?"

"It's easy, withdraw!"

"Withdraw?" Tang Yin raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "where are you going?"

"Retreat to the hinterland of Bainan county and try to avoid direct conflict with the Sichuan army, especially between the main forces!"

The commander zhengse, named Yin Li, said, "the Sichuan army is powerful and has a large number of troops. If we want to win, we have to disperse our troops first and adopt the tactics of breaking them one by one. In this way, there may be hope of success."
