Chapter 708 Li Jing's Judgment
The double monthly ticket is the last day to ask for a monthly ticket. Let's see if there are still tickets in the warehouse!
On the big tent, the wine in the glass was still warm, but no one was interested in drinking it anymore.Although the dishes on the plate were rich, none of the generals of the Tang Army present wanted to take a bite of it.

A whole lamb was still roasting on the bonfire outside the tent, and it was scorched at this time, and no one dared to take it down.

An atmosphere of silence fell into the entire big tent, and the general of the Tang army lowered his head and drooped his head.The interception of food and grass is far from what they can bear, just like Yuan Shao was robbed of Wuchao army food by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu.Now that the military rations were burned, for Tang Jun, the result was only slightly better than Yuan Shao's.

Liu Hongji's words have almost cut off Li Jiancheng's hope.Li Jiancheng looked a little helpless at this moment.

Above the full hall, all the generals lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Chai Shao said: "His Royal Highness, the last general is willing to lead 2 horses across the Yellow River and join forces with King Hejian."

Chai Shao's words were so loud that all the generals of the Tang Army present raised their heads and looked at each other.At the beginning, Chai Shao was obsessed with Princess Pingyang, and many people here knew about it, so he has always been a tough main fighter against Zhao Jun.

Li Yuan knew this, but instead of putting Chai Shao on the front line against the Zhao army, he sent Northwest to deal with Tuyuhun and the two party departments. As a result, Chai Shao lived up to expectations and defeated the Tuyuhun tribe, forcing Tuyuhun King Fuyun to surrender to Li Yuan, and the Northwest was settled.

This time when he attacked Zhao, Li Yuan transferred Chai Shao to Li Jiancheng's command, in order to let him help the prince to make meritorious deeds.
Now Chai Shao stood up alone, and he still advised Li Jiancheng even though the food and grass were robbed. Everyone couldn't help admiring his courage.

With a thought, Li Jiancheng turned to Qu Tutong and asked, "How much food is there in Hanoi?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not worth ten thousand stones!"
Li Jiancheng's face changed: "This is not even supported by my army, let alone allocated food for General Chai to survive and attack Luoyang."

Chai Shao said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will not need military rations, and can raise rations on the spot after crossing the Yellow River! Don't you hear that Xiang Yu can do this back then, and we can do the same today!"

Hearing this, Qu Tutong couldn't help but stretched out his thumb and praised: "General Chai is really brave!"

Li Yuanji said: "His Royal Highness, it is impossible to raise food on the spot. The Zhao army in Luoyang may have already scoured all the food and grass, and it is impossible to get it. If the food is exhausted after Chai Shao crosses the river, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out? It will be for nothing." This has damaged the spirit of our army."

Hearing what Li Yuanji said, Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "King Qi is right. General Chai is very brave, but this move is too risky. He is the commander alone, and he can't treat soldiers to death lightly. I can't promise you this matter." .”

"His Royal Highness, the last general is willing to issue a military order. If it fails, he is willing to be dismissed!"

Li Jiancheng was very unhappy when he heard the words, General Feng Li said: "His Royal Highness, King Qi is right, General Chai's move is too risky! Back then Xiang Yu had to do it, but our army still has the advantage, so why bother?" This risky move."

Li Jiancheng looked at Qu Tutong and asked, "What does General Qu Tu think?"

Qu Tutong pinched his beard and glanced at Li Jiancheng's expression, knowing that he had made up his mind.At that moment Qu Tutong let out a long sigh and said: "His Royal Highness, the last general thinks that if General Chai crosses the river to attack Luoyang, the outcome will be five or five."

The actual meaning in Qu Tu's phone call, five or five can give it a try.

But Li Jiancheng understood it in a different way and said: "What General Qu Tu said is very true. Military orders are nothing to be trifled with. Now our army's rations have been robbed, and there are Zhao Jun's grassland horses behind them. Just sticking to it, they will go hundreds of miles on their own. Urgently ask your father for instructions, and listen to his instructions, the whole army is now standing firm, and no one is allowed to talk about crossing the river until the army rations in Guanzhong arrive."

Li Jiancheng's words fell to the ground, and the generals of the Tang Army present stood up and said yes.

Just when Li Jiancheng's army decided to suspend crossing the Yellow River, in the south of Luoyang, the Tang army on the South Road was already approaching Luoyang City.

All over the mountains and plains, the battle flags of the Tang army fluttered high.

After breaking through Yique, the morale of the Tang army was high. Li Xiaogong and Li Jing personally led the main force to the city of Luoyang.

Now the outline of Luoyang City is clearly imprinted in the eyes of Li Xiaogong, General of the Tang Army, and every soldier of the Tang Army.All the generals and soldiers of the Tang Army were full of confidence. For the upcoming battle, all the generals and soldiers of the Tang Army were gearing up and eager to try.

But just at this time, the news that the North Army's rations were intercepted and blocked on the north bank of the Yellow River reached the ears of Li Xiaogong and other generals, and immediately taught the generals of the Tang Army who were in high spirits head-on.

Li Xiaogong asked Li Jing: "Chang Shi, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the North Army to cross the Yellow River so quickly, so what are the chances of our army taking Luoyang independently?"

Li Jingdao: "Reporting to Commander, it's hard to talk about the opportunity. Judging from the battle of Yique, our army actually won first and then won, and the casualties were not small. It can be seen that the strength of Zhao Jun's army is really well-deserved. But now Although the two armies suffered losses, their main forces were not damaged, and after retreating to Luoyang, they regrouped and defended the city with a high wall, and there was enough food in the city.

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. King Qin led an army of [-] to besiege Luoyang for nearly half a year, but he still had no way to deal with Wang Shichong's [-] remnants. If the army from the North Route arrives, our army should attack Luoyang independently , it is almost impossible without the premise of internal support."

Li Jing cupped his hands and said: "Commander, the general has one more worry, but I'm afraid the commander won't believe me if I say it."

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "You also know that I trust you, I can say whatever I want."

Li Jing said: "Commander, so the pharmacist is bluntly speaking, Zhao Jun's battle seems to be unfavorable at first glance, but the pharmacist feels that this may be deliberately done by Zhao Jun."

Li Xiaogong asked seriously: "How do you say?"

Li Jingdao: "Our North Army was blocked by Zhao Jun at the Yellow River, but the South Army is progressing so smoothly..."

Li Xiaogong's eyes flashed and he asked back: "You said that Zhao Jun was feigning defeat, and deliberately let our army into Luoyang City?"

"Fake defeat may not be a false defeat, but from Pharmacist's point of view, Li Chongjiu is planning to block all the way and let the other go. Taking Luoyang as the default battlefield, he will concentrate his forces in the city to fight our Sichuan and Shu army. You must know that the main force of the Zhao army has not yet appeared. I don't know where, this is the big problem!" Li Jing said slowly.

Li Xiaogong patted his legs and said: "When you said that, I almost broke out in a cold sweat."
While Li Xiaogong and Li Jing were discussing, the generals on the side rushed up to the mountain and said: "The commander-in-chief made a secret report, and found Zhao Jun with more than [-] warships in the upper reaches of Liyang Ferry! Most likely it is the main force of Zhao Jun who came from Youjing Ferry! "

"Are you in Liyang? Zhao Jun came so fast!" Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice.
