The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1549 The Convergence of the Army
Jingzhaofu Road.

Liu Zhuwen led the forbidden army to Languan and Shi Kaiji's army gathered together.

If you count the nearly 2 yuan army that followed Geng Feiyang's surrender, the army gathered in Languan has reached an astonishing number.

It's just that it's impossible for those Yuan troops to fight on the battlefield in a short period of time.

Because of Liu Zhuwen's arrival, Shi Kaiji personally led all the generals in the pass to meet him outside the west gate of Languan.Wang Dagang, Feng Hebi, Zheng Yihang, Diabolo and others are all listed.

Shi Kaiji was the Marshal of the Central Shu Military Region and the most famous general among the original She people.Liu Zhuwen is the Marshal of Dali, and it is rumored that among the Marshals of the Song Dynasty, he is the most strategizing person.Although the two haven't had much contact with each other, they have only met a few times, but their personal relationship is actually quite good.This is how heroes feel for each other.

In addition, Feng Hebi, Zheng Yihang and others under Shi Kaiji's command, and Wang Ziqian and Gu Junying under Liu Zhuwen's command also had quite good personal relationships with each other.

For example, Feng Hebi and Wang Ziqian, both of them are from Guigu Academy, so they have a long history.

After everyone met outside the Lan Pass, they immediately chatted happily.Now that they are all successful and famous, guarding one side, there are not many opportunities to meet each other.

Immediately, Liu Zhuwen and others led an army to enter Languan.

A group of generals above the military level went directly to the command post in the blue pass.

Shi Kaiji and Liu Zhuwen sat at the top of the chair.

Not long after he sat down, Liu Zhuwen asked Shi Kaiji with a smile, "Shi Shuai, the emperor ordered you and me to be the West Route Army. I don't know what your plans are for attacking Zhongdu?"

Shi Kaiji replied: "The emperor has made proper arrangements in the imperial city. Let us destroy Jingzhao Mansion first, then take Qingyuan Qingyang Mansion, and then carry it along the Fuyan and Hedong North Roads, and finally reach Datong Mansion directly. I don't have any objections, if we want to take the central capital, we will have to fight the Yuan army in Jingzhaofu Road."

Liu Zhuwen asked again: "Does Marshal Shi intend to dare to take Jingzhao Mansion before Chai Liren leads his army to Jingzhao Mansion, or does he make a decision after he leads his army to Jingzhao Mansion?"

Shi Kaiji was slightly moved when he heard the words, "I don't know what Liu Shuai is thinking?"

Originally, Liu Zhuwen's army did not arrive. Although he occupied Languan and captured nearly 2 soldiers including Geng Feiyang, he did not have the idea of ​​​​attacking Jingzhao Mansion and lacked confidence.

Now from Liu Zhuwen's words, it is obvious that Liu Zhuwen has some ideas.

Both of them were great commanders, fighting together, Shi Kaiji didn't mean to make up his own mind, so he simply threw the question back to Liu Zhuwen.

Liu Zhuwen only asked again; "Dare to ask Shuai Shi, how many Yuan troops are there in Jingzhao Mansion?"

Shi Kaiji mused slightly: "Jingzhao Mansion is an important border city in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan army in the mansion is probably no less than a hundred thousand. After several battles with our army, the number of Yuan troops entrenched around Jingzhao Mansion is now I'm afraid it won't be less than [-]."

He had interrogated Geng Feiyang and other Yuan army generals who surrendered this question.

But even Geng Feiyang and others don't know how many Yuan troops are around Jingzhao Mansion.All I know is that the original Yuan army in Jingzhao Mansion was not under one hundred thousand.

Although after several battles, many soldiers of the Central Shu Military Region had already been wiped out, but it does not rule out that Bing Wenxuan did not recruit soldiers during these days.

If not, Shi Kaiji would not have had the idea of ​​attacking Jingzhao Mansion before Liu Zhuwen arrived.

Zhao Dongting's original intention was to destroy the Yuan Dynasty at the least cost. In fact, until now, the commanders of the various armies in the Song Dynasty have deliberately avoided head-on confrontation with the Yuan army.

"One hundred thousand..."

Liu Zhuwen groaned when he heard the words, and then said: "Then how far is Chai Liren from Jingzhao Mansion now?"

He had just arrived in the territory of Jingzhaofu Road, so he was naturally not as clear about the situation of the Yuan army as Shi Kaiji.

"According to the information I received, he should have led the army to the territory of Deyao Prefecture at this time, about ten days away from Jingzhao Mansion..." Shi Kaiji replied.

Liu Zhuwen murmured again, "Ten days... If our army starts from Languan and rushes to Jingzhao Mansion, it will take nearly ten days..."

Then both of them were silent.

After all, Liu Zhuwen led the army and came a bit late.

If he could arrive at Jingzhaofu Road earlier, it should still be possible to defeat Bing Wenxuan and take Jingzhaofu before Chailiren arrived at Jingzhaofu.

It is obviously meaningless to say these now.

The limitations of science and technology in this era meant that it was difficult for the imperial army of the Song Dynasty to know the movements of the Yuan army at all times, and even if they could know the movements of the Yuan army, they would not be able to tell Liu Zhuwen immediately.Furthermore, Liu Zhuwen led the army on the road quite fast, even if he knew that Chai Liren was leading the army approaching Jingzhaofu Road, it would be difficult to come here ahead of time.

After all, the Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty were elite, but they were still born of human flesh.Their physical strength and endurance also have limits.

After a long while, Liu Zhuwen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I don't know if Shi Shuai would like all the Qingqi soldiers in the general to be seconded to me, so that I can take down Jingzhao Mansion?"

Shi Kaiji couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, "Liu Shuai, are you planning to capture Chai Liren before he leads the army to Jingzhao Mansion?"

Liu Zhuwen clasped his hands and said: "I think this is the best way to break through the Yuan army's defense line and take the central capital as quickly as possible. Only before Chai Liren arrives, we first clear the Yuan army on Jingzhaofu Road. Only then will it be possible to defeat Chai Liren in the shortest possible time. Shi Shuai has ever thought that if Chai Liren's army arrives at Jingzhao Mansion to join the Yuan army, then our strength in strength will instantly turn into a disadvantage, although All of us Great Song Imperial Guards are capable of conquering and fighting, but it will definitely be much more difficult to take them down then than it is now."

Shi Kaiji silently calculated in his heart.

Based on the strength he has assembled in Languan, the number of light cavalry soldiers should be close to 3.Counting the full number of Qingqi in the Dali Military Region, that is more than [-] Qingqi.

And this number is probably only half of the Yuan army entrenched in Jingzhao Mansion, or even less.

Rao had heard that Liu Zhuwen was the most strategist, so he was sweating a little at this moment, and said, "Liu Shuai, we only have [-] cavalry, are you really confident that you can win Jingzhao Mansion?"

Liu Zhuwen heard the words and said: "In the past, our imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty could win every battle with an enemy army several times or even ten times larger than our own, but why can't we win the enemy army twice as large as our own!"

Shi Kaiji did not forget to remind, "But the Yuan army in Jingzhao Mansion is not comparable to the surrounding defenders. These are the elite of the Yuan army."

It's not that he is afraid of the Yuan army, but that when he led the Shemin soldiers to fight in the past, he was indeed defeated more than he won in front of the Yuan army.Therefore, the Yuan army was not taken too lightly.

After all, Shi Kaiji is not like Liu Zhuwen, he is a general born halfway.

But Liu Zhuwen seemed to have made up his mind, and said again: "Even if it is difficult, it will be easier than Chai Liren leading the army to gather with them and then fight."

Seeing him like this, Shi Kaiji felt a little moved in his heart, nodded heavily and said: "Okay, then I will hand over all the Qingqi in the general to you, Liu Shuai!"

Both of them are marshals, and the conversation is simple.

Liu Zhuwen said: "Then thank you Shuai Shi!"

Shi Kaiji nodded, glanced at the generals, and said directly: "From now on, all Qing cavalry from all armies will obey Liu Shuai's orders!"

Then he turned his head to look at Liu Zhuwen, and asked, "Which generals does Liu Shuai plan to lead?"

Liu Zhuwen said: "Under the command of your military region, all you need is for the commanders of the light cavalry regiments to accompany me on the expedition."

Shi Kaiji looked at Zheng Yihang, Diabolo and the others again, and said, "You have heard what Liu Shuai said, let's go down and make arrangements now!"

But at this time, Diabolo suddenly walked out of the ranks, and said to Shi Kaiji: "Marshal, the last general is willing to personally lead the army and Liu Shuai to attack Jingzhao Mansion."

Shi Kaiji couldn't help being slightly startled, then nodded lightly and agreed.

Others don't know the origin of diabolo, but he naturally knows it.It is also very clear that diabolo now needs military exploits to prove itself.

The victory in the Battle of Languan came too easily. Although Diabolo personally led the army to throw cannons on the cliff, it was not enough for him to have the prestige to convince the whole army.

Immediately afterwards, all the generals under Shi Kaiji left the command post.

Liu Zhuwen also ordered Gu Junying, Zhu Haiwang and others under his command to say: "Generals, go down and make arrangements, and let the soldiers of the Light Cavalry Regiment and the Special Regiment get ready! Tonight, the commander-in-chief will lead the army to Jingzhao Mansion. Zhu Haiwang, Zhang Hongfan There are also princes and three generals accompanying me!"

"Yes!"

Gu Junying and others all bowed their hands, and then withdrew from the command post.

In an instant, only Liu Zhuwen and Shi Kaiji were left in the room.
