The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 286 Uneasy
The moment the cavalry rushed out of the camp, the Black Crow Army stationed on the northwest side of the Zezhou battlefield was monitoring the cavalry detour in the north. Li Cunxin received the news of the scouting cavalry and looked at the cavalry over there looking at a big tree in a daze. He urged the horse over, took a few steps closer, took out the letter in his sleeve and quietly replaced it, and then he handed out the information.

"The cavalry of the Liang army in the north is heard to be the Longxiang army, and they are the elite of the court. The general is Yang Huaixiong, and he is the confidant of your righteous brother."

Over there, Li Cunxiao, who came back to his senses, tilted his head on the horse and smiled: "What elites, they are just a group of infantry who can ride horses. If you want to fight, you can break them up with a single charge."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take over the information and spread it out.Li Cunxin laughed at the side: "Then fight? The news just came, this group of cavalry has been standing still, and I am afraid they have the intention to attack Luzhou."

"Yeah. So I just kept watching."

Li Cunxiao put away the information, just as he was speaking, suddenly a fast horse galloped into the formation out of the corner of his eye, he turned the horse's head to look, and saw a Lingqi coming towards this side, the man clasped his fists on the horse's back.

"General, King Jin wants you to go back to the camp."

"Let you go back at this juncture?" Li Cunxin frowned, looked at Li Cunxiao: "I will accompany you back."

At this time Li Cunxiao was a little confused, nodded, let the cavalry lead the way, only brought a few black crow cavalry, followed behind without saying a word, galloped through the previous battlefield, and returned to the camp.

As soon as he entered the gate, soldiers around him came over and asked them to dismount, and led the cavalry to the vicinity. Only Li Cunxiao and Li Cunxin strode into the army tent.

Lifting the curtain and entering, Li Keyong turned his back to the two of them, watching the tiger in front of him descending the screen. Most of the surrounding army generals were there, sitting upright on both sides.

"Cunxiao (Cunxin) has met his adoptive father!"

Li Cunxiao and Li Cunxin walked through the middle, came to the front and bowed respectfully.The two buried themselves for a while, but there was no sound coming from that side. When the two couldn't help but looked down at each other, they heard King Jin's voice in front of them.

"Cunxiao, is there any movement from the Liang Army cavalry in the north?"

"The soldiers have been standing still, the children stared at them, and never left the guard."

As soon as the answer came out, the generals sitting on both sides of An suddenly whispered to each other, and Li Cunxiao's gaze became a little complicated.

'Well' Li Ke used a low moan, he raised his hand, and squeezed a piece of information tightly in his palm: "Cunxiao, why did the Liang army suddenly return and stationed in Luzhou because of the information my father received?" Twenty miles to the south? Either I want to attack Luzhou, or I am looking for a place for our army to garrison, this is to kill me."

"What?" Li Cunxiao was startled, and quickly raised his face. On the opposite side of his field of vision, Li Ke turned around sharply, threw the information over, and roared, "You're lying to me—"

"Father, how could the child lie to you!"

Li Cunxiao took out the information he had received, "This is sent by the scouts of the boy's army, please take a look at it."

"Yes, father-in-law, this information is indeed sent by the commander in the army." Li Cunxin on the side also said quickly, and Li Keyong took it over and looked at it, and his face improved a little bit just now.

"Perhaps something went wrong with the scouts, but as the leader of the army, Cunxiao is a little too dependent." The king of Jin narrowed his eyes, walked to the map, and paused for a moment: "Before, I was stalemate with Liang Jun Yang Shihou, After calling back and forth a few times, why did Cunxiao stay still?"

"Father, you asked the boy to monitor the cavalry of the Liang army and look for other opportunities, but the boy didn't find a suitable opportunity."

"shut up!"

Li Keyong roared at him: "In the past, you led the army and never hesitated before, but now you are advancing and retreating without restraint. It is in vain to see our army stalemate, and how many good men died in battle!"

Li Cunxiao looked at the foster father who was full of anger, clenched his fists and hesitated to speak, gritted his teeth, and finally lowered his head and cupped his fists: "My child made a mistake in judging and delayed the battle, please punish the foster father!"

"Punishment will be avoided. You have a strong friendship with that Geng Qing. As a father, you know that it is reasonable to appear here now, which makes you uneasy."

Li Keyong sighed, waved his hands, and let out the guard who stepped half a foot outside the tent, looked at the adoptive son with his face down and fists in his hands, sighed again, and then walked to the screen.

"The former Flying Tiger is no longer majestic, and it is useless to stay. You temporarily resigned from the important position of the Black Crow Army and handed it over to Cunxin to lead it. Do you have any objections?"

"Baby, no." Li Cunxiao closed his eyes, his turbulent mood gradually cooled down, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth in response.

No one around said a word, just quietly watching the tall figure walk out of the big tent in a daze,

Over there, Li Keyong also closed his eyes. He opened his eyes only when footsteps came out of the big tent, and then made new adjustments to the position of the army and the battlefield. The Liang Army cavalry who stayed behind them, without Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxin had no scruples, and promised to defeat the opponent within two days in front of his adoptive father.

Soon, when Li Cunxiao returned to Luzhou to guard the rear, Li Cunxin, who led the Black Crow Army, swung his army northward with high spirits. This action was also noticed by Yang Shihou, who was stationed in the west of Zezhou. He was silent for a long time after watching the information, and immediately dispatched a More than [-] soldiers and horses chased after them, hoping that when the cavalry on both sides attacked each other, Hao would give reinforcements in time.

The coaches on both sides are like chess players. When one makes a move, the other picks up the move. Li Ke also sent Li Sizhao and 1 people across the battlefield to go north quickly.

However, Liu Po, the general who led the army, suddenly turned around and went straight to the battlefield of the Jin army in Zezhou. At almost the same time, Yang Shihou confronted Li Keyong with 7000 troops with 6 troops. Pulling into the vortex, a total of more than [-] people from both sides fought head-to-head. Looking around, the criss-crossed figures on the field were fighting at a stalemate, and a huge change suddenly occurred in the north of the battlefield.

Liu Po, who was originally reinforcing the Longxiang Army, shot a feint, and staggered Li Sizhao, who was also reinforcing the Black Crow Army, and went straight to the Zezhou battlefield. A sudden reinforcement came, and the decline instantly pressed on the Jin army. Encountered on three sides, the frontal confrontation was dispersed. Li Keyong was shocked, and hurriedly dispatched his cavalry to recruit Li Sizhao back. However, the battlefield changed rapidly. As a qualified general, Yang Shihou didn't give him a chance to make up for it. Bian Ye pushed forward step by step, and the Jin army, which was already under tremendous pressure, finally loosened at a certain moment.

At dusk, a tidal wave of defeat finally appeared on the right side of the Jin army's front formation, that is, the northern army formation. The soldiers were killed and scattered. Yang Shihou was keen to capture this, and immediately dispatched the last contingent of more than a thousand soldiers. The light cavalry pierced the flank of the battlefield over there, chased and drove the broken soldiers, and rushed towards the other formations of the Jin army.

Li Ke also made the same judgment at this time, but the Shatuo cavalry he sent was intercepted and entangled by a troop sent by Liu Wei. Rushed into his own formation, disrupted the formation, and caused his own line, which was originally going back and forth to attack and defend, to retreat steadily. Someone yelled: "I can't beat it."

The wave of collapse appeared in an instant, and the gun forest behind became loose, and the Shatuo people behind the shield wall began to flee, leaving behind the shield pawns who were still resisting in front. In less than a moment, the shield wall fell and crushed the Jin soldiers behind. He was trampled to death by figures breaking through the front line one after another.

"Prince Jin, let's go—"

Shi Jingsi of the Central Guard rushed over to pull Li Keyong, but was pushed away by him: "I'm not defeated yet!" As soon as the words fell, Shi Jingsi and Li Siyuan led troops to leave.

In a moment, a wave of defeat swept across the battlefield. Thousands of figures ran wildly and were killed by Liang Jun in the field. Countless corpses spread across the red land. The soldiers on the battlefield held their torches and chased them down in the dark night.

The rocket streaked across the night sky and ignited the summer forest. Li Keyong and others, who were fleeing in the flames, finally met Li Sizhao, who had heard about the accident and led his troops. Now that the morale of the army is broken, it is difficult to gather for another battle.

Many years have passed, and the memory of being defeated in the Yaoerling battle and fleeing to the Tatar tribe has returned to the memory again.

"Go back to Luzhou and rectify the troops!"

Li Ke recovered a little, and sent Kuai Ma to send an order to the Black Crow Army to gather together and rush to Luzhou.

In the middle of the night, the dense sound of horseshoes turned away, and the chasing dragon army also stopped at this time. Geng Qing hurried back from the nearby path, looking at the light of the torches in the distance with some doubts.

Yang Huaixiong, the chief general, was also in a daze. From the very beginning, he wanted to preserve his strength. When the Black Crow Army changed its chief general and came in pursuit, the Long Xiang Army immediately distanced itself and did not make contact with the opponent. Twenty miles south of Luzhou, after running westward for more than a hundred miles, this scene appeared.

"Shang Shuling, if you pursue him at this time, you should be rewarded."

"No, it's weird to withdraw troops suddenly, not to mention that the Black Crow Army has always been led by Cun Xiao, so why don't we see him?"

In the dark night, Geng Qing looked at the distant fire, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Immediately, he raised his hand and hooked it, and the moment Yang Huaixiong came to lean on the knife, Geng Qing said something softly.

"Send someone to investigate."
