I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 125

Even though the situation took a turn for the worse and Zhang Han's soldiers approached the city, Zhao Tuo still did not forget the ten generals who "heart-to-heartedly" served under the tent.

"As long as you can work together wholeheartedly to help me get through this crisis, if you succeed afterwards, you will certainly not treat you badly."

"The last general, Funiu Road, should follow Zhao Shuai to fight his way out."

"The last general, Lin Ling, is willing to die for Zhao Shuai."

……

Zhao Tuo's four confidants, without exception, all listed their loyalty, and finally looked at the remaining six.

It has the meaning of "If you don't show your loyalty, don't think of going out of this door today".

Zhao Tuo looked at the audience indifferently, tapped his finger on the table, as if he was waiting for an answer from everyone.

……

The so-called: the current situation is not what I want, but I just want to keep my family safe.

The remaining six people have survived to this day, so they are not foolish and loyal people who single-mindedly served the empire, but they are deeply in harmony with the principle of compromise.

At this point, Zhao Tuo said with a smile on his face: "This commander is suffering from working together to achieve success, and I hope you will understand."

……

But he said that when Peng Xi came back from the mansion, he rushed into the room where Li Yu was, and said: "My lord, just now Zhao Tuo forced me to show my loyalty. I am afraid that there will be a big move. I'm afraid I can't delay any longer..."

After returning from putting out the fire, Li Yu lay on the bed alone, making it impossible for others to see that time was pressing.

Li Yu shook his finger and said, "From your previous description, Zhao Tuo has four confidantes, except for Lin Ling and Funiulu, who are the other two?"

The reason why Li Yu wanted to ask this was because he wanted to confirm his conjecture.

Then he heard Peng Xi reply: "In addition to Funiulu, the second general Lin Ling, and the general in charge of logistics, Xiong Mo, and the navy general Fatong."

Li Yu couldn't help but nodded, and then asked again: "I don't know which of these four people is more loyal..."

Peng Xi was taken aback when he heard the words, a little confused about what Li Yu wanted to do.

Li Yu smiled when he saw this, got up and said: "Let me change the way of asking. Who do you think Zhao Tuo's generals are loyal to His Majesty the First Emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, Peng Xi became more and more puzzled, thinking: Isn't this obvious?
But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yu seemed to be pointing at something, Peng Xi frowned and thought for a moment, then he had an idea and said: "My lord means..."

"Shh, it's good that General Peng knows it in his heart. Of course, this is just my guess, not necessarily."

Seeing Li Yu's voice to stop him, Peng Xi put away his surprised expression, and said in disbelief: "This shouldn't be, the last general is considered an old man in the Lingnan Army, so... that man works together It's been a few years, but the impression given to people is that Zhao Tuo has always trusted him, otherwise it would be impossible to entrust him with such important positions."

When Peng Xi said this, he felt like he was about to come out, but after all, it was just a guess, and Li Yu didn't dare to confirm it, so he changed his voice and asked, "How is Zhao Tuo's current troop distribution?"

Seeing Li Yu change the subject, Peng Chi clasped his hands and said, "The Lingnan Army claims that there are only 20 people, but that does not include the guards of Hainan County and the security forces responsible for the surrounding security.

"Then how many troops does Zhao Tuo have under his command?"

"There are [-] security forces in the county, [-] heavy soldiers in charge of logistics, [-] defenders in the city, [-] Western troops, [-] navy troops, [-] infantry, and [-] cavalry..."

Speaking of this, Peng Xi felt a little helpless, and added: "Zhao Tuo has nearly 25 troops in his hands, but the previous sneak attack on Changsha County lost 7000 sailors, [-] infantry, and [-] cavalry under the command of the last general. "

Li Yu couldn't help being a little surprised, and thought: My good fellow, Baiyue has been suppressed for several years, and there are still 25 troops guarding Lingnan. I don't know what Lao Zhao is thinking, but let such a large army eat food and pay.

Seeing Li Yu's surprised face, Peng Xi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Then I saw Li Yu suddenly said: "So, Zhao Tuo still has 10 horses in his hands that can be mobilized?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Oh, by the way, earlier Zhao Tuo sent someone to order all the troops stationed outside the city to withdraw within five miles of Hainan County."

As soon as Peng Xi said this, Li Yu immediately stood up and said in surprise: "Is this going to be strictly guarded? This is not good..."

After all, Li Si is still under guard at Zhao Tuo's county guard's mansion. If Zhao Tuo shrinks the line of defense, it means that barbarian reinforcements are coming soon.

And then maybe Zhao Tuo will put all his eggs in one basket, and maybe he will die.

While speaking, I could only hear the shouts of killing suddenly coming from the city, Li Yu and Peng Xi were stunned for a moment, thinking: Could it be that something has changed?
Just as the two of them were about to go out to check the situation, they suddenly saw a person rushing into the mansion, but it was Qin Er who came to report: "Your Majesty has a good chance, it seems that someone at the gate of the city has raised troops to grab the gate and wants to seize control of the tower."

When the incident happened suddenly, Li Yuben wanted to wait and see again, and when Zhao Tuo's army's rations were exhausted and the morale of the army fluctuated, he would let Peng Xi lead the troops to plan.

Unexpectedly, there is actually an internal response from the empire in the city, and judging by the momentum, it is not an ordinary person.

It should be him, right?
With a thought in his mind, Li Yu said, "Except for Zhao Tuo's confidants, how many troops do the other generals have?"

Peng Xi didn't dare to delay, and quickly responded to me: "Lin Ling commanded 7000 troops, Funiulu infantry 5000, Fatong's remaining [-] sailors, Xiongmo's material army [-], and the other generals each led [-]."

"What about 5000 more?"

"Leaded by Zhao Tuo himself..."

When Li Yu learned about Zhao Tuo's deployment of troops, his expression changed, and he said in disbelief, "The combined strength of the six of you is less than [-]?"

Based on Li Yu's understanding of the Qin army, a partial general serving in a legion has at least [-] troops in his hands.

But right now the strength of Peng Xi's six people is too different, which makes Li Yu a little unbelievable.

Then Peng Xi said with a look of embarrassment: "After all, the six of us are not trusted by Zhao Tuo, so the strength in our hands is a little less..."

Hearing this, Li Yu nodded his head, and then said: "Someone at the gate of the city raised troops and pulled the gate, it means that it is one of our own, just to draw our attention."

Peng Xi was startled, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to?"

"You know where Zhao Tuo is guarding the family members of your six generals, right?" Seeing that Peng Xi was puzzled, Li Yu immediately looked at Peng Xi angrily, and said.

Immediately, Peng Xi flashed a look of joy, and said quickly: "I know, I know, it's in a residential area in the east of the city."

Before the words were finished, Peng Xi rushed out of the door excitedly, ready to rescue his wife and children.

Seeing this, Li Yu shook his head helplessly, then looked towards the direction of the Sheriff's Mansion and said to himself: "It's a pity that there are only three thousand horses, this time it's a bit difficult."

"But even so, the destiny will not belong to you, Zhao Tuo."
