It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 475

At the position where Cheng Dalei's finger fell, three ink characters appeared: Yin Ma Po.

Most of the terrain in Bingzhou is made up of grasslands, and there is no boundary in sight, and it is almost impossible to defend. Yinmapo is located a hundred miles north of Huangsha City and consists of scattered lakes. In the past, herdsmen used to drink horses here to rest their feet, hence the name Yinmapo.

"Yinmapo has an open terrain, and the enemy's strength is ten times that of us. If there is a head-on conflict, I am afraid that we will not have any advantage." Liu Bei expressed the doubt in his heart.

"On the terrain, no one can take advantage of it." Cheng Dalei said: "But on the open terrain, our firearms can exert their greatest power, which is why the decisive battle site was chosen at Yinma Po."

Liu Bei thought silently about Cheng Dalei's answer, and did not speak for the time being. Xu Shenji asked, "Will they pass through Yinmapo? If we detour from other places to attack the city, wouldn't we prepare in vain at Yinmapo."

"In the current situation, the Imperial Army hopes that we will gather together and kill us all. Why don't we think so, everyone is looking for an opportunity for a decisive battle." Cheng Dalei firmly said: "Give them a letter of war, invite the princes of the world, and Let's fight at Yinmapo and see if they have the guts."

After that, the people in the hall discussed the specific action plan to see how to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Toad Army.

At the same time, Cheng Dalei sent people from the Xizi Team to hand over a letter of war to the Imperial Army.

Cheng Dalei wrote the pen himself and made a generous statement in the war book, saying that you are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and the fish and the common people are heinous and so on. And I, Cheng Dalei, the holy lord who descended from the sky, in the name of justice, use light as a weapon to clean up you dark scum.

This gauntlet was sent to the consortium of the Imperial Army.

Because Cheng Dalei has been doing things on the grassland, the various princes of the imperial army have quietly gathered together. Now the great camps of the various princes are together, and a joint camp is set up on the grassland. This is done, firstly, to kill Cheng Dalei, and secondly, to prevent that troop from being singled out and then be eliminated by Cheng Dalei.

After receiving Cheng Dalei's gauntlet, the Imperial Army immediately convened a military meeting, the main purpose of which was to discuss how to deal with Cheng Dalei's challenge.

Attending the meeting were imperial royals such as Li Letian, Li Xingzai, and Li Xing, as well as important court officials such as Cui Xiang and Yuchili, as well as princes from Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Liangzhou.

The gauntlet written by Cheng Dalei was passed around and read by everyone. Before the meeting started, everyone made a deep mockery of Cheng Dalei's writing and handwriting.

To put it bluntly, Cheng Dalei is indeed an uneducated rambunctious, his writing is shallow and vulgar, and his handwriting is sloppy and ugly. Some people even said: Is there no one in the toad army who can write, which caused everyone to laugh.

Li Letian coughed lightly, stopped everyone's laughter, and asked, "The enemy's war book has been sent here. As for whether to fight, what do you think?"

There was silence, and after Li Letian's voice fell, everyone did not speak for a while.

Whether everyone is willing to admit it or not, Li Letian has gained a good reputation from this battle. Holding the Sword of the Son of Heaven, the eldest son of Emperor Ming, guarding Chang'an with a lonely army... In any case, Li Letian is the one who has the final say on this occasion.

Of course, some people still don't take him seriously.

Seeing that he didn't answer Li Letian's words, Yuchili cleared his throat and said, "If Cheng Thief is not eliminated, it will be a serious problem for the empire's confidants. He wants a decisive battle here, so we will fight him. Is it possible that I am a dignified soldier of the empire, still afraid of it? You can't help the bandits."

"Cough cough."

As soon as Yu Chili's voice landed, a familiar cough sounded. Yu Chili snorted coldly in his heart and scolded an old fox.

The coughing sound naturally came from Cui Xiang, he smiled and said, "Cheng Dalei is really a rambunctious, who will fight against each other as if the two armies are fighting fiercely and fight decisively? Oh, if it spreads out, I'm afraid it will be known by the world. The gentleman lost his teeth with laughter."

"So in Cui Xiang's opinion, what should we do about this matter? Shouldn't we not fight and watch Cheng Dalei show off his power in front of us." Yu Chi Li.

"Oh...hehe, this old man doesn't dare to make judgments. Leading troops to fight is not my specialty. I have to ask General Yuchi for advice on this matter."

ask your mom...

Yu Chili let out a roar in his heart, since you don't understand, what are you doing with so much nonsense. It doesn't matter to you if something goes wrong, you have to share the credit. Yu Chi Li and Cui Xiang were officials in the same dynasty and were each other's biggest political enemies. Yu Chi Li knew very well about Cui Xiang's behavior.

Now he was so angry that he didn't want to speak, and turned his head to the side.

At this time, Yangzhou Mu Li Xing said: "That Cheng Dalei is not an easy person, will he hide some tricks this time?"

In the past few days, Cheng Dalei's team has been making waves on the grassland. Li Xing's men and horses are very shriveled. Yangzhou soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Now Li Xing is about to have a psychological shadow. Thinking of this, he is a little scared.

"I've already investigated, and the people from Huangsha City are indeed moving to Yinmapo, and the team they left has also been brought back. In the past two days, have you heard the news of the defeat?" Yuchi said with a bad expression. .

"So, does he really mean to fight at Yinmapo?" Li Letian said: "Our troops are ten times more than the enemy's. If we start a battle at Yinmapo, we may not be able to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop."

"Cough cough."

The nasty cough sounded again, Yu Chi closed his eyes in anger, he just wanted this meeting to end as soon as possible.

"The so-called soldier never tires of deceit, even if Cheng Dalei mobilizes his troops, there may not be other conspiracies, so be careful."

Everyone, you talk to me, some people want to fight to the death, some people have a lot of concerns, and they quarrel, after all, they can't come up with an exact idea.

"Okay."

Li Letian spoke suddenly, glanced at everyone, and suppressed the uneasy voice.

"The thieves are going to fight, so we will decide the outcome with them. The dignified imperial army has absolutely no reason to be afraid of a few thieves." Li Letian said impassively: "We will dispatch our troops to punish the generals, hit all the troops, and be at Yinma Po. beat them."

Li Letian took a deep breath: "The next thing to talk about is how to arrange the troops?"

In the big tent, the discussion sounded again, and they kept talking about a small detail. Sometimes it took a long time to quarrel.

During this process, Li Xingzai didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He squinted his eyes slightly, supported his chin with his hands, and looked like an old god at ease, but no one knew what he was thinking.
