Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1598 The Book of War
Chapter 1596: War Letter
Zhu Tianpeng had no choice but to make such an arrangement. After all, after the Qi army suffered a water attack, although there were still [-] troops left, their morale had dropped to the bottom, and it was impossible to exert their combat power.

The Qi army in this state, even if it continues to go north, is definitely not the opponent of the Qin army. Instead of running over to give away the head, it is better to return to repair to restore its combat power.

The reason why the navy was left behind was also because the navy was the only one that was not severely damaged by the water attack, and its morale was basically not affected much. It was the only army left in Zhu Tianpeng's hands that could fight tough battles.

Li Jing, who returned to Beihai, thought that Zhu Tianpeng would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but he also learned that the Qi army did not retreat, but instead left [-] sailors behind. He was also very surprised.

At this point in the war, the Qi army has actually been completely defeated. After all, even if Wang Mang unites with Wang Mang to defeat Li Jing, it is impossible for Qi to occupy the North Sea alone. What's more, even if the two parties join forces, they may not necessarily capture the North Sea, so it is only necessary to retreat in time. It is the best way to stop loss.

But instead of retreating, Zhu Tianpeng left behind [-] sailors, but he didn't continue to go north to provoke the Qin army. Even Li Jing didn't understand his intention for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Li Jing felt that the reason why Zhu Tianpeng didn't retreat was probably because the Qi army lost this battle too much. Are you convinced?

Therefore, leaving [-] sailors is just a show, just to save the last face.

Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, since Zhu Tianpeng didn't come to provoke him, naturally he wouldn't be idle and take the initiative to offend him.

"The Qi army is nothing to worry about, but we must not be careless about this ten thousand navy army."

Li Jing was as cautious as ever, and immediately ordered: "Send more spies to the direction of the Yellow River, and make sure that the movement of the ten thousand navy troops is under our army's control."

"promise."

Seeing this, Li Jing nodded, and asked left and right: "Wang Mang and Sha Juan met?"

Jintai stood up and reported: "Report to the eunuch, just one day before the eunuch returns, Sha Juan's army has arrived in Liang State, and merged with Wang Mang."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's directly challenge Wang Mang."

A gleam of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said with a sneer, "Seven days later, I will lead the entire army to a decisive battle with Wang Mang's army at the junction of Liangshan and Beihai, and the victory will be determined in the first battle."

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals were astonished. Tai Shici stood up and asked: "Master Taishou? This is the decisive battle? Do you want to make more preparations?"

All the generals nodded when they heard this. After all, although the Qin Army won two rounds in a row, its overall strength was still weaker than Wang Mang's Hebei United Army. It would be a bit too hasty to fight like this.

"Prepare? What do you want to prepare for?"

Li Jing laughed, and then explained: "The [-] army in Wang Mang's hands is nothing but a cobbled together army, with uneven overall quality, how strong can it display?
Although our army has only [-] troops, more than [-] of them are surrendered, but they have defeated Liangshan and Qi in a row. Now the morale has reached the peak, and even if they face each other head-on, they will never lose, so when will we wait for a decisive battle now? ? "

Hearing what Li Jing said, all the generals showed sudden expressions. Unknowingly, through the previous two battles, the balance of strength between the enemy and ourselves has been reversed.

"But the prefect, will Wang Mang fight?" Ran Min asked.

"Will do."

A strange color flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said firmly: "This is Wang Mang's only chance. If our army sticks to it, it is absolutely impossible to capture Beihai City with the [-] troops assembled by Wang Mang, so this is Wang Mang's only chance. He will definitely fight.

What's more, Wang Mang has an army of [-], which is [-] more than our army. If he is afraid of fighting like this, he will be ridiculed by the people of the Northern Han Dynasty. This is also a good thing for our army. "

----------

Liangshanbo, inside the camp of the United Army of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Looking at Li Jing's gauntlet in his hand, Wang Mang's expression was wonderful.

Half a month ago, the coalition forces were on the verge of crushing Li Jing, but during the time when Wang Mang was waiting for the army of sand rolling curtains, Li Jing used a superb strategy to defeat Zhu Tianpeng with a water attack, and only two of the [-] Qi troops remained. There are more than [-] people.

Although Wang Mang had an [-] coalition army here, he also knew that the strength of the assembled army would definitely not be comparable to Zhu Tianpeng's [-] elite Qi army.

Therefore, among the anti-Qin coalition forces, Zhu Tianpeng is undoubtedly the hardest bone, and relatively speaking, Wang Mang is the soft persimmon.

As far as common sense is concerned, even if Li Jing wants to deal with him, he must deal with Wang Mang first, and then deal with the stronger Qi army.

However, Li Jing did not take the usual path, leaving the weaker Wang Mang alone to deal with the stronger Zhu Tianpeng first, crossing the Yellow River four times, flooding the Qi army, and crushing the stronger Qi army.

In this regard, Wang Mang has only one thing to say: This is too fierce.

In just one month, Li Jing first fought against Liangshan's [-] army with [-] troops, wiped out the main force of Liangshan and killed Song Jiang, and then confronted [-] Qi troops with [-] sailors, crossed the Yellow River four times, and flooded Qi. , and finally defeated Zhu Tianpeng.

This record is simply a fortress!

Li Jing has brought the war-seeking faction to the extreme. Even Bai Qi and Han Xin may not be able to do it with ease like him.

Facing Li Jing's active challenge, Wang Mang was still a little apprehensive. After all, he had already lost to Bai Qi before, and now he was afraid that he would lose to Li Jing again.

And if he loses again this time, Wang Mang may really have no chance of rising, so of course he must be cautious and cautious.

"Qingzhi, you said Li Jing's challenge letter, should we accept it or not?" Wang Mang asked solemnly.

"catch."

Chen Qingzhi nodded helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "This is the only chance for our army to defeat Li Jing. If we don't take it, once Li Jing sticks to Beihai, even with the current strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat Beihai."

"But if you pick it up, can you win the fight?"

"This... Although there are [-] new recruits in our [-]-strong army, there are also [-] surrendered troops out of the [-]-strong Qin Army. If there is a decisive battle, our army's chance of winning is [-]%."

"However, the Qin army has defeated Liangshan and the Qi army in a row. Now the morale may have reached its peak. At this time, it may suffer a decisive battle with the Qin army."

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi didn't know what to say, after all, it was certain that he would suffer.

"Report... to my lord, there is an urgent letter from the King of Qi from the country of Qi."

"Submit it quickly."

After taking it apart and looking at it, Wang Mang's face suddenly changed, and then he showed ecstasy, and said, "Why didn't I think of it."

"My lord, what did you expect?" Chen Qingzhi asked.

Wang Mang didn't answer, but smiled mysteriously: "I, Wang Mang, accepted Li Jing's letter of war and passed on the order. After seven days, the whole army will attack and fight Li Jing to the death."

　One more, and later
