At the beginning of the third year of Yongzhen, two people emerged in the early stages of the Western Front.

Li Pingyang, a 15-year-old girl who had just entered the hairpin, first rushed from Puzhou to Pukang Town and rushed to the city of Changzhou at a speed of lightning, and easily took off Changzhou City on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After resting for one or two days, after the troops who quickly moved south to reinforce, they did not gather their forces to advance steadily, but instead let the reinforcements of 15,000 troops be used as a temptation to restrain the three thousand defeated soldiers and eight thousand reinforcements of Longshui Town.

Li Pingyang led 18,000 people to cross Niutou Mountain and took down Bishan County, which was stationed without any force without any effort.

Like a nail, nailed to the throat of Yuzhou.

This nail immediately made the entire Yuzhou imperial guards extremely uncomfortable - not only because of Bishan County, but also because of Li Su's troops and horses nailed to Yongchuan City by the gentleman flag.

Li Su was nailed to Yongchuan, and it was also a nail that was nailed to the throat of the imperial guards.

Two nails echo each other. If the Western Army subsequent troops arrive, the entire southwest of Yuzhou will be under the control of the Western Army. Further, the troops can threaten Yuzhou City.

Take a step back and you can also echo each other's defense.

Moreover, as Li Pingyang entered Bishan County and faced the 30,000 Qin Yujing troops from Meng Gong's troops, he ignored the head and tail, and was afraid that he would accidentally fall into the embarrassing situation of Meng Gong and Li Pingyang attacking each other from the front and back.

The other person is the Imperial Guard Li Ruyu.

The contributions to the Qiliba war were basically all on the Gentleman Flag. Although Li Ruyu broke the crossbow arrows and crossbow guns, and the last sword, he fought for the second accelerated sprint for the Chuanyun Army, the Gentleman Flag, which was more inclined to be successful in tactics, was the first to be the leader.

Later, the battle of Shitinghe made Li Ruyu completely famous.

In the battlefield documents of the military man who was defeated among the three thousand defeated soldiers, during the battle of Shitinghe, the guerrilla general Zhao Kuo led 8,000 people to attack and fell into the enemy's encirclement. When the entire army was destroyed, the chief general Li Ruyu led 3,000 defeated soldiers to break in, breaking the enemy's encirclement formation, and also killing the enemy's chief and deputy generals to completely reverse the situation.

Later, Li Ruyu's three thousand defeated soldiers and Zhao Kuo's more than three thousand remaining soldiers gathered in front of Changzhou City, and took the victory to attack the city. It took only half a day to successfully recapture Changzhou City with more than 600 people's battle losses.

In this battle, Li Ruyu had 11,000 people under his command, and only 6,000 people remained.

The war loss reached a terrifying five thousand.

Among them, in that siege battle alone, the damage reached a terrifying 3,000 more than 3,000 people... but they won a great victory, not only defeating 15,000 enemy troops, but also killing two generals of the enemy.

However, there are two completely different statements of the battlefield documents delivered to Yuzhou City this time. The other military men's words are completely opposite to the former: in front of the Shiting River, the chief general Li Ruyu was conservative and stubborn, and sat on the enemy's crossing the river. If the enemy's army crossed the river, his army would be crushed by the opponent's strong forces. The guerrilla general Zhao Kuo led his army to attack, annihilate the troops, and then chased the enemy's troops and encountered the enemy's resistance. However, our soldiers were not afraid of death and were united. First, they lure the enemy back with niche forces, and then used their green blood and strong energy to break the enemy's formation. Finally, they defeated the invading Western Army's 15,000 troops. Finally, they Huitong Hua Xiaodao, Xiahou Chi, Xu Xiao and others, and strongly captured Changzhou City.

In these battlefield documents, the contribution of the three thousand defeated soldiers in Longshui Town was emphasized.

When these documents were placed on An Xianggong's desk, the deputy minister of the Daliang Privy Council was in a complicated mood, and the blind man could see that one of these two completely different battlefield documents must be lying.

It's also very bold.

An Meiqin didn't make up for a moment, but Tian Shun, who also read the battlefield documents, pointed out with dissatisfaction that this was a conflict between Li Ruyu and Zhao Kuo.

An Meiqin knew that Tian Shun was dissatisfied with her dispatch of troops this time.

Indeed, this time I had no considerations and made a lot of calculations. I didn’t count that Zhao Kuorong could not defeat Li Ruyu. But now that things have come to this, An Meiqin must take responsibility for her mistakes.

So after leaving behind a copy of the battlefield documents, he asked someone to send all the battlefield documents to Lin'an, and at the same time sent it with a letter of apology, and took the initiative to take over the mistake of dispatching troops.

As expected, when these battlefield documents and An Meiqin's apology letter were delivered to Lin'an, a bloody storm would be set off between the court and the country. One of the two Li Ruyu and Zhao Kuo, as well as the person who wrote fake war reports, would inevitably be dealt with by the Daliang military law.

Not to mention this.

The current situation is a bit subtle.

Meng Gong, the Western Army, led an army of 30,000 to the south. In the vast area where Diaoyucheng was descending the Fu River, he was anxious with Qin Yujing's 30,000 troops. Both sides kept testing each other, but they were sure of victory.

An anxious situation occurred for a moment.

On Yongchuan, Li Su's 10,000 troops were nailed to the city, and he also nailed the imperial guards there.

The 20,000 troops gathered in Jiangjin were particularly embarrassed. If they went out to recover Yongchuan City, they would not care about Bishan County. If Li Pingyang continued to move south, they would know what kind of situation would be caused.

But if you turn around and block Li Pingyang from Bishan County, Yongchuan City will make the entire Yuzhou extremely uncomfortable.

Jiangjin has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and is in a dilemma.

Li Pingyang from Bishan County also became a dagger that hit the throat of the entire Yuzhou imperial guards. Fortunately, Xianggong An had ordered that all the imperial guards in Yuzhou had pressed to the western front and had to pull out the two nails, Bishan County and Yongchuan City.

The Yuzhou Imperial Army had such a nail, but in the same way, the Western Army also faced a nail.

Changzhou City.

Now Li Ruyu is in Changzhou, and there are more than 2,000 defeated soldiers under his command. In addition, Zhao Kuo has more than 3,000 remaining soldiers. After nearly 6,000 troops have entered Changzhou City, the most important line of troops and food and supplies were cut off behind the tridents of Meng Gong, Li Pingyang and Li Su.

The Western Army wanted to support these three fronts as quickly as possible. The fastest, most effective and most capable of increasing troops was through Changzhou, but now Changzhou is under the control of Li Ruyu.

It was also extremely difficult for the Western Army to suffer.

While the Yuzhou Imperial Army was advancing towards Bishan, the Western Army's forces were also pouring out to Changzhou.

Both sides have to pull out the nail.

As expected, the most important strategy of the Western Army and the Imperial Army is to pull out this nail from each other. Whoever can get rid of it first will be able to grasp the active advantages of the entire Yuzhou front.

Li Pingyang of Bishan County has 18,000 troops, but he has to face more troops.

Li Ruyu, Changzhou City, has nearly 6,000 troops, and the Western Army is facing less.

How long can Li Pingyang guard Xiabishan County?

How long can Li Ruyu guard Changzhou City?

Everyone depends on their ability.

However, Li Pingyang's troops in Bishan County were a piece of iron, but there were undercurrents in Changzhou City.

...

...

Changzhou's two changes of ownership were not a big deal for the people of Changzhou. Anyway, the Western Army and the Imperial Army were strict in military disciplines, and even in the siege, the harm to the civilians was not great - of course, many civilians also died.

The Imperial Military Affairs Hall, which was transformed into the state yamen, was also in Li Ruyu's general's mansion, and the atmosphere was so stagnant that it could drip water.

Li Ruyu, Xiahou Chi, Hua Xiaodao, Zhao Kuo, and the six generals who survived the war gathered together. Everyone sat silently in their own positions, and no one spoke first.

There are no staff, no military officer.

This meeting was said to be a post-war summary meeting. In fact, everyone knew it well. The high probability was that Li Ruyu would use a knife to Zhao Kuo, who had faked military orders from Shitinghe. Therefore, everyone was equipped with a sword and a sword. Although it was unlikely that it would be possible to fight, and if it was fought, it would be useless for Zhao Kuo and a few confidants to match more swords.

After all, that guy Li Ruyu is a master of swordsmanship.

But everyone still had the intention of swords and swords. They could not lose momentum. Of course, their confidence was still on the defeated and remnants of the city that were divided into two camps.

Li Ruyu sat at the head of the hall.

The first person on the left was the guerrilla general, the county duke, and the royal relative Zhao Kuo. This big man who faked military orders did not realize that he had committed a major event at all. He was calm and calm and looked like a rich young man.

Li Ruyu stroked the hilt of the long sword around her waist, and looked out the door with a gloomy face.

I just sat there for almost half an hour.

The general Li Ruyu and deputy general Zhao Kuo did not speak, and the others would not take the initiative to jump out. Anyway, everyone was waiting, waiting for Li Ruyu to attack, and waiting for Zhao Kuo to resolve the problem.

It was almost noon, Li Ruyu stared outside the door and said the first sentence: "Xiahou Chi, have the bodies of the robes taken back?"

Xiahou Chi was stunned for a moment and did not react. It was not until Hua Xiaodao quietly pushed him, and then hurriedly said: "After the war, the soldiers needed to rest and only sent a small number of men. It is probably difficult to complete in a short period of time."

Li Ruyu was silent for a while, "Recruiting the civilians in Changzhou City. In addition, there is no need to be buryed uniformly, and the names of the tomb trees are buried on the spot. As for the bodies of the Western Army soldiers, they are buried on the spot."

The soldiers of the imperial guards can still leave their names, while the soldiers of the Western Army can only be named tombs.

This is the cruelty of war.

This was the early stage of the war. In the later stage, the troops of both sides decreased. Whether or not the bodies were buried was still a problem. Most of them could not see their hometowns in the wilderness of the bones.

Xiahou Chi was surprised, "This-"

Li Ruyu interrupted Xiahou Chi, "This is a military order."

Xiahou Chi had no choice but to respond and said that he would send the order later. Zhao Kuo sneered and said unevenly: "Are General Li not afraid of the coldness of the six thousand men in Changzhou City?"

Li Ruyu then turned his gaze on Zhao Kuo, "Why, General Zhao has a better way?"

Zhao Kuo took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said slowly, "I, Zhao Kuo, are the general. If I, after a great victory, I will definitely be buried with the body of a hero in our army. How could I be so careless?"

Li Ruyu said oh, his tone was cold, and Bai Qi's heart began to beat, and his murderous intent gradually boiled. "If I remember correctly, if someone didn't take it on his own, then thousands of robes wouldn't die in a foreign land. Many of them could even walk into Changzhou City with us."

Although it was early spring, the conference hall looked like the cold spring, like the cold winter.

Everyone's face changed.

It's going to tear apart... But Li Ruyu still has room for anything, and he didn't kill him with one stick, but Zhao Kuo faked military orders, but everyone knew the truth.

Zhao Kuo's face darkened, and he emphasized his tone without hesitation. His tone was very arrogant, "If I had not made a quick decision, I would have missed the opportunity. Once all the 15,000 people of the Western Army crossed the Shiting River, the five thousand robes would not be killed in the battle. I am afraid that all of them would die under the Western Army's military command. General Li, don't you think so?"

But he didn't mention the matter of being surrounded by the trap.

Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao were speechless, and even the general Xu Xiao shook his head helplessly.

There is no one else to turn black and white into black.

When he was from Fanmian Village, Li Ruyu was relatively calm and precocious. Now that he has experienced too many things, Li Ruyu, who is already a young man, has become more and more calm. He has not been distorted by Zhao Kuo's reversal of Hei Bai and was angry and lost his composure. He said slowly: "So, should I thank you for falsely passing military orders?"

Zhao Kuo's face turned right, "I don't like to hear General Li's words."

He paused for a moment, "Some words cannot be said randomly. Fake military orders are to beheaded. I, Zhao Kuo, have a hundred brave hearts and leopards, and dare not despise military law so much. The situation was critical at that time. General Li was intimidated by the power of the Western Army. As a deputy general, after the chief general lost his composure, I stood up and decided to choose the opportunity to send troops. Isn't this the intention of setting up a chief and deputy general of the Daliang Army? I acted completely in accordance with the regulations. As a deputy general, I became a fake military order? "

This is Zhao Kuo’s true confidence.

Compared with false military orders, Zhao Kuo's statement is very important even when he goes to the Privy Council or even before Her Majesty. This is a fact, so what Zhao Kuo is afraid of is not false military orders - he has the right to issue orders to send troops at a certain specific opportunity.
