Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 135 I'll Leave If You Don't Guess
After integrating the troops at Wuguan, Li Zhiyun took all the troops to the front line, leaving only hundreds of people guarding Wuguan.

Regarding this arrangement, Li Yuan wanted to say something; I think there are too few people and it is not safe.

But whenever he heard Li Zhiyun's calm and decisive order, Li Yuan could only shut up.On the surface, it seems that the King of Chu didn't hate him, and he didn't even take the fact that he took away the Yunyang Army into his heart, but in fact, every move of the King of Chu revealed an unquestionable meaning.

Don't meddle in Grandpa's business!

After leaving Wuguan, Li Zhiyun led the army to join Duan Zhixuan quickly. With the addition of Duan Zhixuan's troops, his strength rose to [-].

"The final general will see the king." When Duan Zhixuan and Xue Shou saw Li Zhiyun and his party, their faces were very relaxed.

Li Zhiyun helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, and you have lived up to my king's high expectations."

Duan Zhixuan looked up at Li Zhiyun, and nodded secretly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will always remember that your Majesty is attached to me, and I will never slack off for a moment."

Duan Zhixuan nodded veiledly, Li Zhiyun looked into his eyes, and immediately patted him on the shoulder, "Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Immediately, he looked at Xue Shou again, "Brother, you have worked hard too."

Xue Shou bowed and said: "This is the duty of the subordinates."

Everyone met, exchanged pleasantries, and immediately Li Zhiyun ordered Du Ruhui and Xue to take them down and set up soldiers and horses to set up camp.Duan Zhixuan took Li Zhiyun to the temporary archery tower and looked at the Zhu Can camp in the distance.

"Your Majesty, although Zhu Can claims to have an army of [-] troops, the real combat strength is only [-]. The remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are actually refugees who were coerced by him. His subordinates once captured some prisoners, I learned from them that if they don't help Zhu Can fight, they will be killed by Zhu Can's soldiers."

"Even when they were on the battlefield, these people were forced to charge. Because they didn't charge, the archers and axemen behind them would swing their butcher knives at them."

Li Zhiyun pondered for a moment and asked, "How much food and grass does Zhu Can have?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know?" Li Zhiyun supported the railing of the watchtower with one hand, and pointed at Zhu Can's camp in the distance with the other, "Food and grass are the most important thing, you tell me I don't know?"

Duan Zhixuan said ashamedly: "My lord, please forgive me, because Zhu Can often feeds on living people, so my subordinates really don't know how much food he has. The scouts sent out by my subordinates found that some villages around Nanyang have been looted."

Hearing this, Xie Shufang who was following behind Li Zhiyun scolded angrily, "It's just a beast."

Li Zhiyun also frowned. He originally thought that Zhu Can's nickname of Ogre King was smug, but now it seems that Zhu Can is indeed an anti-human beast.

"The king has wronged you."

"Your Majesty is right about the grain and grass. The subordinates really did not do a good job in this."

Li Zhiyun waved his hands and looked into the distance.

"Has Zhu Can committed any crimes recently?"

"When his subordinates first started to build the camp, Zhu Can led troops to attack, but after the self-campaign was built, Zhu Can had no way to hold the camp, and gradually stopped coming. On the other hand, Nanyang, he has been attacking non-stop. .”

Li Zhiyun said: "Zhu Can is still very smart. He tried to attack the camp and found that it was difficult to deal with. He wanted to use Nanyang as a breakthrough and force you to go out to fight."

"This subordinate is not a fool." Duan Zhixuan smiled and said, "This subordinate has been sending cavalry troops to guard the flanks. As long as Zhu Can dares to attack Nanyang with all his strength, his subordinates will receive the news as soon as possible, and then attack his rear. He failed miserably."

This is called pulling.

"Well done, by the way, how is King Changping doing now?" Li Zhiyun asked.

Duan Zhixuan said: "Two days ago, King Changping sent someone to ask his subordinates for help. He said that Nanyang had run out of food, and asked his subordinates to destroy the enemy as soon as possible."

"Then do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"The subordinates are dull and have no idea of ​​a solution for the time being. They can only be involved in the flanks to reduce the pressure on Nanyang."

Li Zhiyun took out the binoculars from his arms and looked at Zhu Can's camp.

In the round mirror, what can be seen is camping without any rules, soldiers and soldiers crowded together chaotically, revealing the smell of a refugee camp everywhere.

This kind of army, Changping King was able to lose so badly.

Now, Li Zhiyun really didn't understand how Li Shuliang lost to Zhu Can. To fight this kind of shapeless bandit, he only needed to fight steadily, and he could basically drive the opponent to death.Why play a fancy surprise attack? Isn't this taking off your pants and farting?

Putting down the binoculars, Li Zhiyun rubbed his chin and said, "Get ready, send someone to tell Zhu Can that the king wants to meet him tomorrow."

"Your Majesty wants a decisive battle with Zhu Can?" Duan Zhixuan dissuaded him, "This subordinate thinks that although the opponent is not my Tang army's opponent, if we win a decisive battle at this time, we will suffer heavy losses. Zhu Can's inhumane way , He will definitely use those unarmed refugees to charge the battle. At that time, our army will be restrained by him, and our combat power will definitely decline. If Zhu Can attacks with elites again at this time, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Your worry is not unreasonable." Li Zhiyun first agreed with his statement, and then said with a half-smile: "But, who said that this king will have a decisive battle with Zhu Can."

Having said that, Duan Zhixuan was a little puzzled, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Zhiyun stood with his hands behind his back, looking like an expert.

"Siege is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top."

On the other side, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou were sorting out the camping of soldiers and horses.

Seeing that Du Ruhui never brought up the matter of why he used conspiracy to take back the Yunyang Army, Xue Shou couldn't hold back after all, and dragged him to a corner of the tent.

"What's wrong?" Du Ruhui asked.

Xue Shou looked around, saw no one was coming and going, turned to look at Du Ruhui, and asked him seriously.

"You should give me an explanation for the matter of the Yunyang Army."

"What explanation?"

"That's enough, don't pretend to be stupid to me at this time. Don't you know that Li Yuan and the crown prince are friendly, the king asked me and Duan Zhixuan to use a conspiracy to take back the Yunyang army, you have to give me an explanation, why did you do this!"

Can't help it anymore, Du Ruhui smiled secretly, anyway, let me talk to you on behalf of the king.

"Why don't you ask the king to find out, what are you looking for me for?"

Hearing this, Xue Shou was a little angry. As an official of Chu Wangfu, how could he question Chu Wang? This is the following offense.Just as the king of Chu asked them to take back the Yunyang army with tricks and tricks, what the king of Chu did to the prince was the same.

"Keming!" Xue Shou lowered his voice, "Stop pretending to be ignorant at this time, do you know what the king has done, do you know the consequences of what he did, do you know that the king is going astray !"

Seeing that Xue Shou was a little impatient, Du Ruhui still said slowly, "Since you have doubts in your heart, you might as well talk about it, maybe your doubts are correct."

Xue Shou looked at Du Ruhui's face and stomped his feet in hatred.

Du Ruhui thought that look was a bit funny, so he continued: "Brother Xue might as well guess why the king asked you to take back the Yunyang army by any means, even if it was to defeat the King of Lujiang."

Having said that, it is already very explicit, even a little dangerous.

Xue Shou squinted his eyes, let out a hard breath, and said coldly: "I can't guess."

"If you don't guess, then I won't tell you. You have to ask the king." After speaking, Du Ruhui turned around and wanted to leave.
