Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 43 Into the White Wave Army (1)

As soon as he thought of it, Li Song hurriedly summoned his generals to discuss the matter of destroying the Baibo army.

In the hall of the county government office, Li Song sat in the main seat, Su Dingfang and others sat on the left and right sides of the subordinates, Li Song said, "Before I came to Hedong, I heard that Baibo bandits often make trouble in Hedong County."

"The day before yesterday, I was even attacked by Baibo thieves. If Ding Fang hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have been decapitated."

"Baibo thieves are so rampant, I decided to send troops to exterminate them, so as to restore peace to the people of Hedong."

Li Song gave a reason for sending troops, which completely covered up his desire for revenge.

"My lord! We don't know where the Baibo bandits are now. Our army can fight in Hedong only with Lord Su Dingfang's cavalry."

"I don't even know the strength of the Baibo thieves. Now, where are we going to destroy them?" Pei Yuanqing asked.

"Yuan Qing, you don't have to worry! I sent out scouts early in the morning to find out about the situation of the Baibo bandits, and I've already ordered people to go back to Bingzhou to dispatch troops." Li Song said.

"My lord! For a long time, it was Dong Zhuo's soldiers from Xiliang who fought against the Baibo thieves. Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, Li Jue and others also fought against the Baibo thieves before."

"If you want to say that you are familiar with the Baibo thief, it is Niu Fu and others. I suggest that my lord send someone to ask Dong Zhuo about the situation of the Baibo thief." Su Dingfang said.

"What Dingfang said makes sense, but we have nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, why should Dong Zhuo tell us? And how should we negotiate with Dong Zhuo?" Li Song said.

"My lord! We can make offerings to the imperial court in the name of foreign ministers, and at the same time..." At this point, Su Dingfang stood up and took a few steps forward, whispering in Li Song's ear.

"En! Dingfang is right! I will do as you said!" After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he backed away, and Li Song nodded.

"Everyone get ready!" Li Song said.

"No!" Everyone got up and responded, and exited the lobby.

Li Song sent envoys to Chang'an to present. Although the spies found out some news about the presence of Baibo thieves in various counties these days, it was a pity that they were all small-scale actions, and they didn't know anything about the specific situation of Baibo thieves.

After Bingzhou's soldiers and horses marched into Hedong, the activities of the Baibo thieves restrained a lot. After all, they were still fighting Li Jue, and they didn't have the ability to fight on both sides for the time being.

Chang'an City, inside the Grand Master's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo summoned his subordinates and told them Li Song's intention to send people here.

"Father! We beat Li Song's envoy out. There is no need to tell him about the situation of the Baibo bandits." Lu Bu said angrily, still remembering the grudge that day.

"Wait a minute! Grand Master! I think Feng Xian's words are inappropriate!" Li Su hurriedly said.

"What's wrong?" Lu Bu said dissatisfied.

"Don't worry! Listen to me! This is it! If Li Song doesn't get news about the Baibo thief, he will definitely not send troops. Then it will be the Grand Master's Xiliang soldiers who will deal with the Baibo thief."

"Nowadays, there is an undercurrent in the court. Lord Li Jue has failed in the crusade against the Baibo bandits. If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will be hard to say. Now Li Song is willing to take over this hot potato. Why not?" Li Su said. .

"Besides, if Lord Li Jue is defeated and the Baibo bandits enter Chang'an, what will the Grand Master do? What about the Son of Heaven? What if the princes from all walks of life rise up again?" Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army was injured in the last battle with the Bingzhou Army in Hanoi Otherwise, Li Jue would not have been defeated by the Baibo army.

"I don't know what good strategy Brother Li has?" Dong Zhuo asked. What Li Su said was exactly what Dong Zhuo was worried about. How many people wanted Dong Zhuo's life? I'm back.

Even Ma Teng, Han Sui and others in Liangzhou are about to move again recently. The ambitions of the Qiang people who were subdued back then are growing, and they plan to hold an armed parade next year.

They just killed a few two days ago. If Li Jue is defeated again, there is no guarantee that they will not take any action. People who hate Li Song are not only Lu Bu, but also Dong Zhuo. It happened to feel like it was raining all night.

Dong Zhuo didn't know that Situ Wang Yun had secretly conspired with his adopted son Lu Bu and his good brother Li Su to kill him these few days.

Li Song stepped forward and whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear, then backed away, waiting quietly for Dong Zhuo's decision.

"Hahahaha! Alright! Brother Li is indeed a good brother of our family. This plan is very good. According to what Brother Li said, I will leave this matter to Brother Li." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, and then everyone dispersed.

Li Su found Li Song's envoy and gave him all the information about the Baibo Army, and asked him to take it back to Li Song. After he got the information, he immediately set off for Hedong.

When Li Song received the information brought back by the envoy, Li Jue also received Dong Zhuo's order to withdraw his troops and return to guard Chang'an!Li Jue left the grain and grass equipment and rushed back to Chang'an overnight. After getting Li Jue's grain and grass equipment, the strength of the Baibo thief has been significantly improved.

After Li Song got the information from Chang'an, he hurriedly summoned Su Dingfang and others to discuss sending troops.

"Now, the strongholds of the white wave bandits are in these places. Li Le at Fenglingdu at the southwest end of Ruicheng, and Hucai and Han Xian at Leishou Mountain not far from Puban. These three white wave bandits have a total of eight. The young and middle-aged man who can fight omnipotently."

"Li Le in Fenglingdu is the weakest group of Baibo thieves, so we'll take him first." Li Song pointed to Fenglingdu on the map.

"But! My lord! What if the Baibo bandits from Leishou Mountain come to reinforce them?" Pei Yuanqing asked.

"What else can we do! When they come, destroy them all together." Li Song said, turning around and ordering: "Dingfang, you will be the main general to command the troops and horses, and attack the Baibo bandits in Fenglingdu. Xiang Yu will be the deputy general to assist You wiped out the Baibo bandits."

"The last general takes orders!" Su Dingfang and Xiang Yu stood up and clasped their fists in salute.

"Yuanqing, you follow me in ambush on the only way from Leishou Mountain to Fenglingdu, waiting for reinforcements from Leishou Mountain, and surround them to fight for help." Li Song said to Pei Yuanqing.

"The last general takes orders!" Pei Yuanqing got up and saluted.

"Wang Yi and Zhou Cang are in charge of matters such as grain and grass!" Li Song said to Wang Yi and Zhou Cang, the prefects of Hedong.

"The subordinates (subordinates) take orders!" Wang Yi and Zhou Cang stood up and took orders.

"It's not too late! Everyone go down and rectify the troops! Let's go immediately!" Li Song said.

"No!" Everyone responded, turned and left, and each was ready to go. Li Song was in military uniform, and Pei Yuanqing led [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to set up an ambush on the only way from Leishou Mountain to Fenglingdu.

Su Dingfang and Xiang Yu led [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to Fenglingdu to wipe out the Baibo bandit Li Le's troops. After a long journey, it was already late at night when Li Song and others arrived at their destination.
