The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1665 Heavenly Sword Arrives in Liyang

Another two days.

Zhenjin made Chai Liren, Yuanwuqi, and Halbala's imperial decree to fight conservatively spread to Kaifeng Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion and Yidu Mansion one after another.

Because Chai Liren and Yuanwuqi had originally reduced their forces, there was no change.

Only Halbala no longer spread his troops so widely, but quietly shrunk.

And just when Zhao Dongting's imperial decree to let the three-way army take a break temporarily also reached Lantian County, Meng Tuo had already led the Tianjian Army to appear outside Liyang County.

The imperial decree was sent to Lantian County by Shi Kaiji himself.

After reading the imperial decree, Liu Zhuwen exclaimed in a low voice, patted his legs and said, "It would have been better if the imperial decree had come a few days earlier. Now President Meng is probably leading his army to attack Liyang County."

Shi Kaiji pondered softly, "Although the emperor told me to rest and recuperate, attacking mere Liyang shouldn't have a big impact on the battle situation, right?"

Liu Zhuwen seemed to have a heavy heart, and said, "I'm not sure. What I'm worried about now is that the Yuan army will guard Liyang County with great fanfare. It will be troublesome then."

"Come on!"

He shouted to the outside of the hall.

A soldier entered the house.

Liu Zhuwen said: "Immediately send someone to Liyang County to pass on the order to the Tianjian Army Mengdu. If the Yuan army resists in Liyang County, let him abandon Liyang and guard Weinan County!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers agreed and walked out of the hall.

"and many more!"

Liu Zhuwen suddenly called to him again, and said: "Remember to tell President Meng, that the most important thing in everything is to protect the soldiers!"

The soldiers left.

Shi Kaiji frowned and asked Liu Zhuwen, "Shuai Liu, should we make some preparations according to the original plan? What if the Tianjian army is dragged by the Yuan army in Liyang County?"

Liu Zhuwen unconsciously tapped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair with his fingers, "It should be like this, but what I'm worried about now is if we send troops to go, will it make things worse?"

If it was before, he might really not mind a head-to-head battle with the Yuan army.Liu Zhuwen is indeed a teacher, but his temperament is quite strong.

Speaking of which, his way of fighting has always been very courageous and courageous.Take the previous battle of Jingzhao Mansion as an example, I think there are generals in the whole world who dare to fight such a tough battle.

But he forcibly brought down Jingzhao Mansion.

Now even if it is a decisive battle with Chai Liren's army, Liu Zhuwen is not afraid.He even longed for a decisive battle with the Yuan army.

It's just that Zhao Dongting's imperial decree came so suddenly that he had to change his previous thinking.

Liu Zhuwen still knows a little about Zhao Dongting.

With the emperor's temperament, he suddenly let the major military regions recuperate, then there must be some way to deal with the Yuan Dynasty.And this method is definitely more appropriate.

Shi Kaiji obviously also felt in a dilemma, "Then what should I do? I'm just worried that something will happen to the Heavenly Sword Army."

Now the Tianjian Army must have arrived or approached Liyang County, this is beyond doubt.Naturally, it is definitely too late to send a messenger to let them withdraw their troops now.

What Shi Kaiji and Liu Zhuwen were worried about was that they didn't want to fight, but the Tianjian army would be trapped in Liyang by the Yuan army.At that time, it was difficult to fight or not to fight.

Originally, their idea was to send some troops from Lantian County to Liyang, and see how the Yuan army reacted, but now, they were also worried about provoking the fragile nerves of the Yuan army.

In the end, it was Liu Zhuwen who said, "Why don't I send Tiantui, Tianjiu, and the special regiment of Tianxian Army to rush over quietly to meet the Tianjian Army?"

After thinking about it, Shi Kaiji nodded lightly, "That's very good. With the quality of the special regiment in your military region, those Yuan troops should not be able to easily detect their movements."

Liu Zhuwen made arrangements again.

The scene goes to Liyang County.

The bloody setting sun.

Outside the city is a vast wilderness with luxuriant grass.

A ray of setting sun hangs in the far west, and there is already a faint mist lingering in the wilderness.

In the distance, a few wisps of cooking smoke curled up.

Monto led the soldiers of the Heavenly Sword Army standing outside the city, half of them were cavalry soldiers and infantry soldiers.

Because Liu Zhuwen's order was only to let them test Yueyang County, so the army didn't carry too much food and grass, so they went into battle lightly.

Bai Jinjun did not appear here.

However, the two true martial arts priests from the Dali Military Region followed Monto.

The soldiers of the Tianjian Army have also changed into thick winter combat uniforms, but they still wear light armor on the outside.

This kind of light armor is still somewhat defensive against the bullets of the Shenlong Gun, so it won't be pierced by the bullets casually.

"Huchi! Huchi!"

The war horse kept snorting, and all it exhaled was white air.

There was no sound outside the city.

And on the top of the city, there are quite a few Yuan troops.

Chai Liren originally deployed a lot of Yuan troops in Liyang County, although some were transferred back, but the number was still quite a lot.

Later, when the Heavenly Sword Army marched towards Yueyang County, he also received the news.

After all, Monto did not hide the movement of the army.

Moreover, although the spider webs of the Yuan Dynasty were not as good as the Military Intelligence Department, they were not a vase for display.In the Yuan Dynasty, in their own territory, their intelligence capabilities were quite good.

In fact, Chai Liren was quite entangled when he learned that Monto led the Heavenly Sword Army to invade Liyang County.

According to Zhenjin's meaning, it is to let him avoid confrontation with Song Jun now.However, judging from the geographical location between Liyang County and Jingzhao Mansion, he couldn't give up Liyang County.

If Liyang County is captured by the Tianjian Army, Jingzhao Mansion will be attacked from the south and the north at the same time.

No army likes to watch the enemy run to its rear.

So Chai Liren decided to hold on to Liyang County.

He didn't want to confront Song Jun at this time, let alone a decisive battle with Song Jun.And if Liyang County is captured by the Tianjian Army, and there will be no decisive battle at that time, it may not be that he, Chai Liren, can make the decision.

With this in mind, Chai Liren was even more interested in Liyang County.

He not only sent back the defenders who had been drawn out before, but even sent all the defenders from the neighboring Gaoling and Lintong counties.

These Yuan troops arrived in Liyang County about two days ago.

And this made the mere Liyang County gather an army of nearly 2 yuan.

You know, in a small county like Liyang County, the original population was probably no more than ten thousand.

The counties in the Yuan Dynasty were not as densely populated as those in the present Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting's multi-birth policy implemented in the Song Dynasty had already seen very good results a few years ago, but in the Yuan Dynasty, there was no such policy.

This may not be because Kublai Khan and Zhenjin do not want the population in the country to increase, but because they have the will and powerlessness.

Population needs economy to feed.

Economically, the Yuan Dynasty was far inferior to the Song Dynasty, so don't imagine the rapid population development like the Song Dynasty.

Thousands of Yuan troops stood at the top of the city, wearing armor, and their aura was quite bluffing.
