Two hundred and sixty seventh chapter iron fist suppression (fourteen)
The 5,000 reinforcements from Suzhou quickly joined Li Xun. Li Xun also transferred Zhao Wei who was stationed in Linxia County together with 2,000 soldiers. In this way, Li Xun had 14,000 troops, and Yuan He also
, Zhao Wei, Shan Qiu, Zheng Chun and other good fighting generals came to help, which greatly increased Li Xun's confidence in victory. For the upcoming decisive battle, Li Xun was a little nervous, but more of it was anticipation.
On the other side, the three people sent by the mob camp to Xizhou to contact Hammeredge also came back at this time. A half-dead man with his tongue dug out and wounds all over his body, and... two bloody heads.
Hammer Ozzie used practical actions to tell the mob leaders that you intend to unite with me and attack Wuzhou from both front and rear, but I refuse. You can make trouble as much as you want. It has nothing to do with me or the Dashi Empire.
Hammer's actions made several leaders of the mob extremely angry, and their sanity was on the verge of collapse. Moreover, their food was running out, and they could not sit still and wait for death. So in the end, the mob leaders chose to take the initiative and fight with Li
Xun fights to the death.
On Li Xun's side, they finally chose to stand still. Several different armies came together and needed some time to integrate. The 5,000 soldiers sent by Suzhou were led by the general named Wang Long, who was the brother of Li Zhong's confidant general Wang Shuo.
Anbei had been in the army for many years. After the Battle of Longyou, Wang Long, who was nearly fifty years old, was originally going to be transferred to the capital to provide for his retirement with a high-level job. However, Wang Long did not want to retire and insisted on staying. In order to take care of his emotions,
Li Zhong finally compromised and allowed him to lead his five thousand troops and stay in Suzhou.
Wang Long's actual position is the same as Li Xun's, they are both generals of the fourth rank, but in terms of casual officials, Wang Long is the general of Huaihua, the third rank, which is half a rank higher than Li Xun. This is a man with qualifications, prestige, rich battlefield experience, hundreds of
A veteran on the battlefield, his arrival earned the respect of everyone.
Li Xun summoned all the generals to discuss matters, and the mob was encamped in Wuzhuo County. In the past two days, there have been frequent mobilizations, which is a precursor to a big move.
While everyone was discussing the matter, a soldier came in and reported: "Master Governor, Ouyang Li wants to see you."
Li Xun was shocked: "He's back? Let him in quickly."
Ouyang Li was extremely experienced in martial arts and was good at disguise. Li Xun ordered him to sneak into the mob camp and find out information. He had been there for almost ten days and now he was finally back.
Ouyang Li walked in, his face was gray and black, and the rest of his disguise had been lifted. However, some of the potions he applied to deepen his skin color needed to be repeated several times before he could completely return to his original state.
"Greetings to my lord."
Ouyang Li half-knelt on the ground and saluted loudly.
"No need to be polite, get up quickly."
Li Xun raised his hand to signal Ouyang Li not to be too polite, and then asked: "Ouyang Li, you have been in the mob camp for nearly ten days, have you found out any important information?"
Ouyang Li stood up, nodded and said: "Lord, there are six religious leaders who led the mob in the uprising. They have reached a consensus that in three days, all food will be distributed so that everyone can have a full meal, and then the entire army will be dispatched.
, come and fight to the death with the lord."
Li Xun immediately stood up, turned around and looked at the wall behind him, where a map hung.
All the generals also got up together and gathered around.
Wang Long was the first to speak: "Wuzhuo County is just over a hundred miles away from us. We can get there in a day and a night at the earliest."
Yuan He continued: "So, we still have up to four days to prepare, so we can make plans that morning."
Except Shan Qiu who kept looking at the map, Zhao Wei, Zheng Chun and others all expressed their own suggestions.
Li Xun didn't speak, just stared at the map silently. He was the commander-in-chief of an army, and the decision-making power rested with him. Everyone had different suggestions. He needed to make the final judgment and decision on which one to choose.
After thinking for a long time, Li Xun looked at Shan Qiu, who had been silent all this time: "General Shan, do you have any suggestions in mind?"
Shan Qiu nodded, walked up to Li Xun, stretched out his hand to draw on the map, and said: "Wuzhuo County has a radius of hundreds of miles and is all flat land. The terrain is open. We don't necessarily have to set the main battlefield here.
Wuzhuo County or our place."
Li Xun still didn't understand, but Wang Long immediately laughed and said: "General Shan's eyes are indeed vicious."
Li Xun bumped Shanqiu with his shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Shanqiu, can you make it clearer?"
Shan Qiu said: "From Wuzhuo County to our place, the terrain is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry combat. Although the opponent has many people, ten times as many as us, their combat effectiveness is extremely poor. They are just a group of rabble with simple equipment and materials. They camp at night for defense. They must
Very bad.”
Li Xun's whole body was shocked. Shan Qiu said it so clearly. If he didn't understand it yet, he would really be a fool. He has 14,000 troops and about 9,000 cavalry, including 5,000 cavalry brought by Wang Long.
, and they are the elite of Anbei. They can take the initiative to attack. When the night comes, the opponent will set up camp and use the cavalry to launch a thunderous attack, which may determine the outcome in one battle.
"It's a good strategy to attack in the middle of the night."
Yuan He, Zhao Wei and others all understood Shanqiu's strategic intention and expressed their agreement one after another.
Li Xun looked at Wang Long and asked him for his opinion out of respect: "General Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Long smiled: "You are the commander-in-chief, you decide, I will obey the order."
Wang Long's attitude was very polite. In fact, before coming here, he had contempt for Li Xun. He felt that Li Xun was able to achieve his current position only because of his relationship with Concubine Li. What talents could he have at such a young age?
?
Moreover, Wang Renzhi's order to Wang Long was that Li Xun was the leader and he was the assistant. Wang Long needed to obey General Li Xun's orders, so nominally, the two of them were divided into superiors and subordinates. Li Xun was the leader and Wang Long was the leader.
Long Weici, but after he came, Li Xun showed great respect and politeness to Wang Long, and kept his attitude very low. But after Wang Long arrived, Li Xun didn't say anything, and only the people around him took revenge.
Zhao Wei, Zheng Chun, Yuan He and others are all talented generals. No one is worse than himself. Li Xun can gather these people around him and work for him willingly. This is a great extraordinary thing in itself, regardless of
