The two sides of the river were in chaos, but the situation was not good.

On this day, Li Yichen was discussing the future development of the Qin army with Jia Xu and others in the state government.

Suddenly, a Jinyiwei came to report: "My lord, there is an urgent report from Xiazhou. The court has sent 100,000 Disha troops to the borders of Xiazhou and Mozhou, and built a lot of fortifications, earth walls and pits."

Li Yichen pondered and said, "Disha Army, do you Jinyiwei have any information about Disha Army?"

The Jinyiwei spoke again: "My lord, this Disha Army is one of the four trump cards of the central army of the court. It has 100,000 soldiers with weapons, armor and horses, and is equipped with thousands of crossbows, catapults and other weapons. Among them, there are 20,000 heavy armored cavalry in the early stage of martial arts, which are the core troops of the Disha Army. Half of the remaining soldiers have the cultivation of Wusheng Realm."

"The commander of this Disha Army is named Liu Wubing. He was born in the Liu family, a prominent family in Jiangnan. It is said that this person is resourceful, cunning, and good at using strange strategies. He is also a sword cultivator at the peak of Wuwang Realm, and his strength is not inferior to the first sword Yu Xuankui."

Li Yichen nodded, looked at Jia Xu and said: "Military Advisor, this Disha Corps is building a lot of buildings on the border between the two states. It seems that it not only has no intention of attacking Mozhou, but is preparing to stay in Xiazhou for a long time to prevent our Qin army from continuing to expand."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, at present, the court should not be sure that it can annihilate the Qin army in one fell swoop, so it is keeping its troops in place. At the same time, to prevent our Qin army from invading Xiazhou, our army must be on guard and send the corps to the border to confront the Disha Corps."

Li Yichen also agreed: "Wenhe's idea coincides with mine. Come, pass my order and order the Beichen Corps to carry food and supplies and set off immediately to set up camp on the border between Mozhou and Xiazhou to prevent the Disha Corps from suddenly launching a war."

With Li Yichen's order, Wei Xiaokuan led more than 30,000 troops under the Beichen Corps, set off overnight, and rushed to Daye County on the border of two weeks within five days to station.

The two armies had a tacit understanding and did not have any conflict.

On a mound not far to the west of the Disha Army, Liu Wubing, with a pale face without a trace of blood, looked at the Beichen Army camp several miles away and couldn't help but admire: "The soldiers under the Qin Army are standing like green pines, with neat military appearance and no scattered formation. They are experienced warriors at first glance, and their reputation is well-deserved."

Liu Wuye, the deputy general beside him, said: "General, according to the report from the spies, the Qin Army sent the Beichen Army, which has only more than 30,000 soldiers. Why don't we use several times the military force to attack the Beichen Army overnight and annihilate it in one go."

Liu Wubing shook his head and said: "You are just like Wei Dongsheng, arrogant and proud. The strength of the soldiers under the Qin Army is against our Disha Army. Even if the troops are only one-third of ours, if we attack rashly, we will inevitably fail miserably."

Liu Wuye said in disbelief: "Our Disha Army is much more elite than the Dingbei Army. How can the Qin Army, which is less in number than ours, Can they be our opponents? "

Liu Wubing said solemnly: "I have carefully analyzed the battle between the Qin Army and the Bandit Army. The soldiers under the Qin Army are probably all warriors in the Wusheng Realm, and the elite among them are even masters of the Wutu Realm. Although the Qin Army also relied on the sudden appearance of 50,000 elite soldiers to defeat the Bandit Army, before the reinforcements arrived, the Qin Army had already withstood the impact of the 400,000 troops of the Bandit Army with 50,000 troops without being defeated. "

"From this, we can see that the Qin Army is terrible. We can't act rashly. We need to wait for the opportunity quietly, just like a poisonous snake, and give the Qin Army a fatal blow when the opportunity comes. "

Liu Wuye looked surprised: "In this way, the elite soldiers under the command of the Qin Army are comparable to the army of the dynasty. It is no wonder that Chen Qing and Wei Dongsheng were defeated by the Qin Army one after another. "

After sending out the Beichen Legion, Li Yichen discussed with Jia Xu and others many times and decided to set the next target of the Qin Army in Lizhou.

Lizhou is located on the border, but it is very rich. It borders the Western Regions and is a famous western commercial corridor of Beiting. Every year, there are countless caravans that go in and out of Anxi Pass.

Moreover, the Lizhou Army sent soldiers and generals to participate in the bandit-suppressing army last time, and suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Qin Army. The Zhenxi Army guarding the border at Anxi Pass also lost 80,000 elite soldiers.

In addition, half of Xiazhou is in the Gobi Desert and the other half is in the mountains. The terrain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack. In comparison, taking Lizhou first is undoubtedly the best strategy.

In the state government, Li Yichen sat on the top, and Li Siye and Ju Yi were arguing with each other.

The two were arguing over which legion should attack Lizhou this time.

"Li Siye! You are really

I am so angry. As a senior general, shouldn't you, the junior, give way to me? Let my Tianwei Corps lead the attack on Lizhou this time. "

"Although I admire General Ju Yi very much, I cannot give in to him because it is a matter of war. The soldiers under my Tang Corps have been ready for a long time, waiting for the Lord's orders day and night to rush to the front line."

"Your Tang Corps has a small number of people, and this battle of Lizhou cannot afford to fail. My Tianwei Corps has more soldiers and generals, so you should step aside. I will let your Tang Corps fight in the next battle."

Li Yichen said helplessly: "The two generals stop arguing. This time, the attack on Lizhou will be led by the Tang Corps as the vanguard, and General Ju Yi will lead the Tianwei Corps to hold the fort and take Lizhou in one fell swoop."

"Arrange the expedition immediately. Five days later, the two corps will attack Lizhou! "

The two looked at each other, and their faces showed joy.

When the two left, Ju Yi leaned on Li Siye and said, "Siye, come to my house later and have a drink together."

Not to mention Li Siye's height, the two of them standing together looked a bit strange. Li Siye nodded and said, "Since Brother Ju invited me, I will respectfully obey your order. "

Li Yichen, who just wanted to go out for a walk, saw the whole scene. Li Siye and Ju Yi were both the first batch of outstanding people summoned. They had a very close relationship and admired each other. He was also happy to see his generals get along harmoniously and become one.

Soon, the day for the two armies to set out arrived. Li Yichen personally hosted a banquet and invited the generals of the two armies to drink and wish Li Siye and Ju Yi a victory.

Unfortunately, before the army set out, Li Yichen received an urgent report from the Jinyiwei of Lizhou.

"My lord, news came from Lizhou that the Tatar Dynasty sent 300,000 cavalry to break through the Anxi Pass three days ago. The entire Anxi City was looted and the 80,000 Zhenxi Army was wiped out. Now 300,000 Tatar cavalry have swept across the entire territory of Lizhou, burning, killing and looting everywhere. The people of Lizhou have suffered greatly. Countless civilians have been displaced and even taken as slaves. "

Jia Xu hurriedly said to Li Yichen: "My lord, in this case, this is not a good time to attack Lizhou. Let the two armies rush to the border first to deter the Tatar cavalry, and keep the troops in place before making plans. "

Li Yichen nodded, and the two armies set out at the same time, but their target became the border of Lizhou and Mozhou.
