Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 123 The Book of War
heard.

Li Yuniang's pretty face condensed slightly, and she said, "Little brother, do you want me to go to various cities?"

"this..."

Li Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "No need, send an order to Zhou Cang, let him take my general order after Guo Ziyi arrives, and let Guo Ziyi's 20 troops be divided into [-] soldiers to guard Ningyuan Shule and other cities. "

"Especially because Khotan City is close to Tubo, let Zhou Cang send scouts there to keep an eye on all changes in Khotan City."

This is a decision Li Yi made after careful consideration.

After all, he has no fixed place now, and he is either on his way or in a bloody battle. It will take a lot of time for the scouts to contact him.

It's better to let Zhou Cang who is stationed in Anxi City be responsible.

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

Immediately, Li Yuniang got up, flicked the cloak behind her back, and stepped out of the meeting hall.

But this time.

Hua Xiong hurried in from the outside, holding a bright red paper stamp in his hand, with an incomparably dignified expression.

See here.

Li Yi asked, "Hua Xiong, what happened?"

"General, look at this."

Hua Xiong, who walked up to Li Yi in a few steps, directly handed over the bright red paper seal in his hand to Li Yi.

Li Yi took it over and took a look.

Gauntlet!

Two large characters suddenly appeared in Li Yi's eyes.

This made Li Yi frowned, and quickly flipped through it, only to see that it said, "Li Yi, this will be the new Marshal of the Great Food Kingdom. Roger Stephen, hereby writes to invite you to fight in Talas!"

"Rogge Stephen!"

Li Yi's eyes were as cold as cold.

Glancing at the generals below, he threw out the gauntlet in his hand and let them read it one by one.

"presumptuous!"

"This dirty thing dares to challenge the general!"

"The last general invites you to fight, go to Talas for the general, and cut off this man's head!"

"No, this is obviously a conspiracy by Dashi, trick me to go there, so that we can annihilate them together!"

"Then why don't we just abandon this gauntlet and ignore it? In this case, I will be ridiculed by the Great Food Country, and will be insulted by other countries as a coward."

"..."

After reading the content of the gauntlet, all the generals below were furious.

His eyes were bloodshot, murderous Ling Ran wanted to drink angrily.

They knew that this was a conspiracy by the Great Food Kingdom, and that it was a deliberate trap set by the Great Food Kingdom knowing that Li Yi did not have many troops.

If you go, you will escape death.

If you don't go, you will bear the infamy, and the prestige of the general will be gone.

But for a general, how can he not fight when he sees the letter of war?
"Okay, stop arguing."

Li Yi's eyes flickered, and he interrupted the generals' debate with his words.

Then he looked at Hua Xiong and said, "Hua Xiong, you are in charge of the movement of the soldiers of the Great Food, tell me, what's going on in the Great Food Kingdom now?"

When Hua Xiong heard this, his eyes became more serious and he said, "General, according to the reports from the scouts sent out, the soldiers of the Great Food have gathered in Talas after ordinary transfers these days."

"However, the exact strength of the troops is unknown to the scouts."

"Also, the returning scout told me something strange."

"Strange thing?"

Li Yi was taken aback.

Hua Xiong nodded, "Yes, he said that when he came back, the army in Talas City seemed to have no intention of defending the city, and sent out many scouts, scattered to various places, with unknown intentions."

"There are too many of them, and our scouts don't dare to pursue them rashly."

As soon as this word comes out.

Li Yi's face was slightly condensed, and he remained silent.

little time.

Li Yi raised his head, looked at the soldiers and said, "It seems that Dashi's fight is just a cover-up, and their real purpose may be to send troops to surround and kill us."

Not bad.

This is the only thing Li Yi can think of, and the goal of Dashi has not changed.

To be precise, they came for Li Yi.

Whether Li Yi goes or not, he cannot escape Dashi's determination to kill him.

After all, the whole good situation of Dashi in Anxi was destroyed by Li Yi, and they just wanted to get rid of Li Yi at this time.

It is also because Tubo is wary of Li Yicun, and Li Yi has become their only obstacle when they are discussing the alliance with Dashi.

Or heart disease.

Li Yi is not dead, and the alliance is uncertain.

Li Yi is not dead, Anxi is uncertain.

This is why the Great Food Kingdom wants to fight the war, but it is actually secretly crossing over to Chencang.

Obviously, they were afraid of Li Yi.

An 40-year-old boy can kill Tarum with soldiers, and Anxi has nearly [-] soldiers. Who can not be afraid?
When the generals heard the words, they also woke up with a start.

According to what Li Yi said, then they are really in danger.

Now that Guo Ziyi's 20 troops have not yet arrived, if Dashi encounters Dashi and kills Li Yi with all his strength, not only their more than [-] soldiers may die.

Even Suiye City, which has just been recaptured, may be trampled by the soldiers of Dashi again.

immediately.

Deng Ai got up and said, "General, at the end of this station, the general thought he was advancing by retreating, and introduced the Dashi soldiers into Anxi City. This delayed the time. When General Guo Ziyi's 20 troops arrived, they surrounded the Dashi soldiers instead."

"Advance by retreat?"

Li Yi's eyes flickered, and he asked Deng Ai, "If Guo Ziyi's [-]th army can't arrive as scheduled, won't Ningyuan Shule Suiye and other cities be slaughtered again?"

"This..."

Deng Ai was speechless when asked.

He didn't take this into consideration. After all, Deng Ai's starting point was based on Li Yi's safety.

As for why the people in several cities retreated together, Deng Ai would not say anything unless his head was kicked by a donkey.

Because how can the people of several cities withdraw as soon as they say they want to withdraw?
Even if they want to withdraw, how can the big food soldiers give them the opportunity and time?
And Li Yi didn't blame Deng Ai, and shifted his gaze to Zhao Yundao, "Zilong, what do you think we should do?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and said in an ingot tone, "Back to the general, now, only we have two choices."

"One is to stick to Suiye City, restrain the soldiers of the Great Food, and wait for the support of General Guo Ziyi's 20 troops."

"The second is to take the initiative and fight to the death with the cannibal soldiers in Talas. If you win, Anxi will have no more cannibals. If you lose, Anxi will be in danger, unless General Guo Ziyi can turn the tide."

All the generals nodded upon hearing this.

Obviously they also thought the same as Zhao Yun, except Deng Ai who was too conservative.

Retreat is never possible.

This retreat, how to explain to the dead people in Anxi?

This retreat, how to explain to the soldiers who died in Suiye City?
This retreat, how can it be a bamboo basket to fetch water, all in vain?

At this time.

Li Yi also agreed, "Zilong is right."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and continued, "However, if we stick to Suiye City, it will undoubtedly be a loss of combat power for our iron cavalry, and there is not much food and grass in the city, so we cannot hold on for a few days. "

"So, I thought it would be most appropriate to take the initiative."

"With the help of the flexibility of the iron cavalry, go out of the city and hang out with the big food soldiers, and you can break out at any time, fight guerrillas with the big food soldiers, reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and wait for the opportunity."

"It can also be guaranteed that the flames of war will not affect Suiye City."
