The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 655 The first step of the plan is completed (second more)

"Your Majesty, according to the current speed, we will reach Youzhou City at noon today. Now Youzhou City is empty, as long as we reach Youzhou first, there will be nothing wrong with him." Xiao Motie laughed and said to King Khitan said.

"I'm afraid we are not the only ones who have this kind of thinking, so we must order the whole army to speed up. We must reach Youzhou before King Xi." Khitan King said to Xiao Motie.

Just when the two monarchs and ministers were about to order to speed up the march.Suddenly someone came to report that there was a canyon ahead.The mountain is very steep, and there may be ambushes hidden in it.

"Now Li Tai, the king of Yan, doesn't even have enough soldiers to defend the city. Someone came out to ambush our army. He ordered the whole army to speed up and make sure to reach Youzhou before noon." King Khitan said to Tan Ma.

Now that the Khitan king had given the order, the hundred thousand Khitan iron cavalry rushed into the valley without any scruples.Just before the men and horses had just entered the valley.Suddenly there were shouts of killing from both sides of the valley.

At the same time, rolling wood and thunder stones fell from the sky, unexpectedly caught the Khitan cavalry by surprise.However, this valley is not very narrow, so it did not cause much casualties to the Khitan cavalry.It's just that for a while, it seemed a little flustered.

At this time, a cavalry force of 2000 men came in.I saw them riding tall horses under their crotches, holding sabers with cold light in their hands.

Without any explanation, he rushed into the panicked Khitan cavalry.Cooperating with the ambushes on both sides of the valley, they began to charge hard.

"Report Your Majesty, there is an ambush hidden in the valley. It has already fought with the vanguard of our army." Tan Ma came to the Khitan King and said.

Hearing this news, King Khitan and Xiao Motie couldn't help being taken aback.So Xiao Motie said to Khitan King: "Your Majesty, don't worry, let the general go and see what happened."

Just when Xiao Motie arrived in the valley, he found that the cavalry was charging non-stop.Killed the flustered Khitan iron cavalry until they turned their backs on their backs.

The vanguard of good Khitan cavalry has only about [-] cavalry.So it was really impossible to resist for a while, the charge of the Liaodong iron cavalry.

However, with the arrival of the follow-up army, the pressure on Liaodong cavalry is increasing.At this time, the chief general of the Liaodong cavalry decisively issued an order to retreat.

Seeing the cavalry fleeing in the wind, Xiao Motie felt that this army was very strange.Because their military uniforms are really awkward, and it can even be said that they are a little too inappropriate.

At this moment, King Khitan also came by Xiao Motie's side.And he opened his mouth and said to Xiao Motie: "I didn't expect that Li Tai, the king of Yan, would really dare to send troops to ambush me."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that's not the case. Just now the general observed the Tang army's attire, it was very strange. The general has already sent someone to collect the bodies of the Tang army." Xiao Motie said to the Khitan king.

Not long after, nearly a hundred corpses were placed in front of Khitan King and Xiao Motie.found after careful inspection.These people live on horseback all year round.

However, Tang Jun rarely has this kind of situation, even the cavalry of Tang Jun will not have this feature.Because only people who ride horses from childhood will look like this.

Looking at the awkward military uniforms they were wearing, the swords in their hands, and the horses left on the battlefield.

All this confirms one thing, that is, this army is not the Tang army.It was someone pretending to be.Then came the question, who in the end pretended to be Tang Jun and attacked him.

"Your Majesty, judging from their horses and weapons, they should be the cavalry of the State of Xi. If there is no wrong guess."

"I'm afraid that King Xi was afraid that we would reach Youzhou first, so he sent people pretending to be Tang troops to attack us. The purpose was to delay our time." Xiao Motie said to King Khitan.

Everything that is in front of us now points the finger at Xi Guo.So King Khitan had to believe Xiao Motie's words.

So he said angrily: "Damn King Xi, you actually stabbed me in the back. If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

At the same time, King Xi's cavalry also suffered the same treatment.Likewise all the evidence points to the Khitan king.

Therefore, the first step of Liu Rengui's plan has been successfully completed.Now there is a gap between King Xi and King Khitan.The next step is to intensify their conflicts and not give them a chance to resolve this misunderstanding.

……

Because the troops on both sides were under attack, the speed of advancement was naturally affected.This left enough time for the two Liaodong iron cavalry to withdraw to Youzhou.

Even so, it was not long after two cavalrymen entered Youzhou City from the two southwest gates.The coalition forces of the two countries set up camp outside the two city gates in the northeast.

And those who were in charge of ambush in the dark were the [-] Youzhou soldiers.But he didn't rush back to Youzhou City.It was a company camp set up in a hidden place outside Youzhou City.

There are two reasons for this. The first is that these [-] soldiers are not cavalry.I'm afraid there is not enough time to rush back to Youzhou City.It is easy to meet the cavalry of the two countries halfway.

The second is that it can appear as a surprise soldier at critical moments.Give the coalition forces of the two countries a pinch from inside and outside.In this way, the chances of winning are even greater.

The two Liaodong iron cavalry who returned to Youzhou City reported the incident to Li Taihou.After another brief rest, he went up to the city wall to join the defense of Youzhou City.

"Liu Xiang, it seems that everything is going very smoothly. I don't know what we should do next." Li Tai said to Liu Rengui.

"My lord, I need two quick-witted people. Go to the camps of the two countries to meet their kings." Liu Rengui said to Li Tai.

"My lord, the success or failure of this plan depends entirely on the two people we sent. Only when they successfully persuade King Xi and King Khitan can our plan succeed." Xu Liang got up and said to Li Tai.

"I don't know who thinks they can do this job, and go to the camps of the two armies for this king." Li Tai asked everyone.

If everyone present shouted and shouted, absolutely no one would give in.Even if they were to die in front of the two armies, they would not even bat an eye.

But this is a matter of being a lobbyist and talking swords.There's something they really can't do.So all of a sudden there was silence in the main hall.

"My lord, most of you here are military generals and disciples of the Mo sect. I'm afraid it's really not suitable for this job as a lobbyist."

"That's why I'm asking my lord for orders, and I'm willing to go to the Khitan camp in person to lobby the Khitan king." Liu Rengui said to Li Tai.

"This matter is absolutely impossible. How can this king put Liu Xiang in danger." Hearing Liu Rengui's words, Li Tai refused without hesitation.

"My lord, I am afraid that no one other than Liu Xiang and I can handle this matter. Therefore, my subordinates are willing to go to Xi's camp to persuade King Xi." Xu Liang said to Li Tai.

Although Li Tai was unwilling in every possible way, after all, the danger of being a lobbyist was not so great.If you are not careful, you will be decapitated, but the two persevered.

In the end, Li Tai had no choice but to agree, and asked the two to pay attention to safety.For the sake of safety, Li Tai divided the Xingxiu Dark Guard into two, and secretly protected Liu Rengui and Xu Liang.
