Chapter 174 Soldiers and Horses ([-])

Liu Poyan was in a state of confusion.

He did not expect that the Mongols would immediately send troops to attack the Central Plains just after his group left the Han Dynasty.

This kind of thing was so big that it could no longer be offset by beheading Zong Wuwei and his son.

He sighed, looked at his only close relative, and asked: "Potian——, did you plan this matter?"

Liu Potian sat in a wooden wheelchair and did not answer.

Because he really didn't want to deceive his brother.But speaking the truth sometimes requires more effort to prove the importance of the truth.

"why?"

There was anger and helplessness in the voice of Master Liu Dazhuang: "Are you trying to make your brother give up and never return to the Central Plains?!"

Indeed, this is one of Liu Potian's plans.

Only when Liu Poyan accepted his fate and lived in Mongolia, could he help the Mongolians without any worries and not resort to evil tactics.

But this reason cannot be said. What can be said is: "Mongolia took the initiative to send troops, which may in turn curb Zhu Di's ambitious conspiracy——"

This is not without reason.

If the Ming Dynasty was defeated in the battle in Lingshi County, it would be possible to sign a peace alliance.

Naturally, exchanges between Han and Mongolia can be resumed, and there will no longer be charges of treason.

Liu Po ​​pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "What Brother Tian said is not unreasonable. I just hope that the path to return to my hometown will not be cut off..."

He paused, lowered his voice, and said, "How is Zong Wuwei's situation?"

"He is seriously ill and cannot be cured——" Liu Potian raised his voice, and Jie Jie smiled: "At that time, he will also be a chess player, and he can use it to negotiate terms with Zhu Di."

Therefore, Zong Wuwei is more valuable alive than dead.Liu Poyan couldn't help but smile bitterly.He could only sigh in his heart, because in front of Po Tian, ​​what he wanted to do ended up being persuaded to do the opposite.

Now, he has become "hopeful" that Mongolia will defeat the Ming Dynasty and force peace with the imperial court.At the same time, it becomes "hope" that Zong Wuwei can have a way out of exchange if he is alive.

Sometimes he really couldn't help but wonder, was he also a pawn of Po Tian?

No!Liu Poyan shook his head vigorously, immediately rejected the idea, and told himself for sure: Potian loves his elder brother from the bottom of his heart!

"Lingshi County is long and narrow, thirty miles long, but seventy miles wide!"

Long Zheng put on his military uniform and calmly said to the commanders in the military camp: "The Mongols are driving down from the northwest. If we use [-] troops to defend them, our troops will be scattered -"

"The coach's intention..." Captain Zhao Chengde asked, "is it to reduce the defensive area?!"

"That's right..." Long Zheng said loudly: "We only need to retreat to half of the county and let the Mongols fall into it. And the emperor's 40 troops will pass through the border county, so that the Tatars will be attacked from both sides and annihilated in one fell swoop."

"General Long, there is a mistake in what you said..." Liu Guangyi, another captain of ten thousand men, disagreed: "How can our officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty allow the Tatars to invade at will and just defend without fighting? Sigh! This undermines the prestige of our country, the Ming Dynasty. ——.”

Long Zheng smiled coldly, stared at the other person, and said, "Your name?"

"Captain of Ten Thousands, Liu Guangyi!"

"Okay, Liu Guangyi, listen carefully -" Long Zheng said with a solemn expression, "Look at the overall situation when using troops, and don't try to succeed for a while. You... are not qualified to be a captain of ten thousand men, so you will be transferred to the foreman of grooms immediately... .”

Liu Guangyi was about to argue when he saw Long Zheng wave his hand and said: "You are no longer qualified to be here in this account, get out!"

It was so impressive that the man named Liu was dumbfounded for a moment.Then, Long Zheng shouted again: "I'm telling you to retreat quickly. If you don't obey the order, I'll kill you immediately!"

The tip of the ivory white sword hit the table with a "snap", and the sound startled all the generals in the tent.

In an instant, no one dared to doubt Long Zheng, she would definitely make a huge difference!
