Final Volume Chapter 87
Li Shu currently lives in Gongcheng, a small border town between Bainan County and Fantiao County. The remaining rebels are basically stationed near Gongcheng. Piaotian Literature (p&nbs138Kanshubsp;.)
After learning about the arrival of Meng Xiong escorting Qingyu, Li Shu personally welcomed him out of the city. Li Shu also knew Qingyu's name like a thunderbolt, knowing that he was one of the top commanders in the Feng Kingdom, and what he lacked most at the moment was a commander in the army. Qingyu's arrival was like seizing the opportunity for him. A life-saving straw, whether he can turn over this time depends entirely on Qingyu.
The battle on Wangxi Plain caused heavy losses to the Zhen army, which also made Li Shu put away his arrogance and realize his own shortcomings.
Li Shu had visited Feng Country and had met Qingyu, but he didn't have much contact with him.
Seeing Qing Yu at this moment, he hurried forward to greet Qing Yu. When he got close to Qing Yu, he raised his hands and gave a deep salute. His face could not hide the joy and he said with emotion: "General Qing Yu, I have been waiting for you for a long time. "
Tang Yin did not want to expose his identity in front of many Zhenren, so he did not stand with Qingyu, but blended in with the many guards. Li Shu, who was paying attention to Qingyu, naturally did not see him.
Unexpectedly, Qingyu was a little surprised that the arrogant Li Shu would be so polite to him. The battle at Wangxi Plain must have suppressed Li Shu's arrogance. Qingyu smiled slightly, returned the salute, and said, "General, you're welcome."
"General Qingyu, please come to the city!"
"General please!"
Li Shu and Qing Yu walked side by side and entered the city. Although Gongcheng is not big, there are quite a lot of people in the city. At this time, there are many people standing on both sides of the street. People stretch their necks and raise their feet to look around. It can be seen from this that Li Shu is indeed very popular among the people in Zhendi. , and the people also supported him very much.
Tang Yin, who was walking in the crowd, narrowed his eyes slightly. The people of Zhendi supported Li Shu, which was both a good thing and a bad thing. For Li Shu, this was a good thing, but for Feng Guo, it might not be.
Li Shu let Qingyu into the city lord's mansion where he was staying, and found that a banquet had been set up inside. In order to show his respect for Qingyu, Li Shu specifically gave up his seat and asked Qingyu to take a seat.
Qingyu didn't refuse, but he didn't sit on the main seat either. Instead, he sat on the lower seat opposite Li Shu. Li Shu was quite confused when he saw this. Qingyu and himself were both sitting in the lower seats, so wouldn't the main seat be vacant?
When he was about to speak, Qingyu spoke first: "General, I now know a little bit about your army's battle in Wangxi Plain. I wonder how General General thought your army fought in this battle?"
"This..." Qingyu suddenly asked about the Battle of Wangxi. Li Shu's face was full of embarrassment. He pondered for a moment and said with a smile while rubbing his hands: "In this battle, the casualties of our army were almost equal to those of the Sichuan army. To the end of the battle, each of us Retreating is a draw."
"A draw?" Qingyu shook his head and smiled, and said: "In my opinion, it's not a draw. It should be that your army was defeated, and it was a miserable defeat."
His words were merciless, making the embarrassment on Li Shu's face even stronger. One of the generals below said unconvincedly: "Although this battle is not satisfactory, it is far from a disastrous defeat!"
Qingyu smiled but said nothing, and a voice came from behind him: "The Sichuan army has many soldiers, while the Zhen army has few soldiers. After a battle, both sides suffered the same battle losses. One for one, not the Zhen army." A disastrous defeat, what is it?”
After hearing such straightforward words, the expressions of everyone present changed, and people subconsciously looked behind Qingyu. The person speaking was wearing a cloak from head to toe. His appearance could not be clearly seen, but judging from his clothes, he should be Qing Yu's follower.
The general who spoke just now snorted coldly and asked: "Who are you? Is there any place for you to speak here?"
"Haha!" The man looked up and laughed, walked out from behind Qingyu, and pulled off his hood. He didn't even look at the general, but looked at Li Shu with a smile.
Meeting this person's eyes and seeing his appearance clearly, Li Shu was shocked. After a moment of daze, he stood up suddenly, quickly walked around the table in front of him, came to the person, and put him in front of him. He looked carefully from head to toe again to make sure that his eyes were not blurry and that he had seen correctly, and then he shouted in surprise and joy: "Feng...His Royal Highness Feng Wang?!"
The man smiled and said, "General Li, you're welcome and safe!"
"Oh, I didn't know His Royal Highness Feng Wang was here. I... I'm really neglecting you." Suddenly seeing Tang Yin, Li Shubo was dumbfounded and seemed to be at a loss, and he bowed his hands repeatedly.
His Highness the Wind King? Is this person the Wind King? After hearing Li Shu's name for this person, everyone present was dumbfounded. People's eyes were all focused on him, looking up and down, looking back and forth.
This man is tall and slightly thin. Looking at his face, he has eight-color eyebrows, eyes like bright stars, a nose like a hanging gallbladder, and a mouth like a single bead. He has a handsome appearance and a natural smile. The most surprising thing is Yes, he looks to be in his early twenties. Who would have thought that such a handsome and elegant young man would actually be the famous King of Feng Kingdom - Tang Yin.
People were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses and looked at each other. Then, they all stood up in unison, raised their hands to Tang Yin and said, "We have met... His Highness the Wind King!"
Tang Yin waved his hands to everyone casually and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite."
While speaking, he said to Li Shu: "General Li, you don't have to be polite to me anymore. Please take a seat!" After that, he walked to the main seat without any hesitation, threw off his cloak, and sat down.
Li Shu was still in shock, and stammered: "How did His Highness Feng Wang come to Zhenxi? The letter sent by His Highness before did not mention this matter..."
Tang Yin shrugged and said calmly: "I don't want too many people to know that I came this time, so it is a secret visit. I hope General Li and you will not make it public."
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness, don't worry, I will never reveal your whereabouts, and I will also restrain my men from spreading your visit." After that, Li Shu turned his head to look at the people below, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you all understand?"
"General, we understand!" Everyone said in unison.
Tang Yin raised his lips, changed the subject, and asked Li Shu: "General Li, how many soldiers are left in your army now?"
Li Shu's expression became serious, and he said: "Now our army still has no less than 100,000 soldiers."
Tang Yin smiled and reminded: "I'm asking about the soldiers who can fight."
"This..." Although Tang Yin was smiling, under his gaze, Li Shu felt that he had seen through all his thoughts. He licked his dry lips and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Your Highness, our army's soldiers who can fight... are now less than 80,000."
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and asked: "Then what about the Sichuan Army?"
"It is reported that the 16th Corps of Jinggu County has already entered Fantiao County, and now the total strength of the Sichuan Army in Fantiao County has reached more than 200,000." Li Shu seemed to lack confidence when he spoke.
"80,000 against 200,000, General Li, do you think your army has a chance to win?" Tang Yin asked.
If it were before, Li Shu might still dare to say such a bold statement that the Zhen army would win, but after the battle of Wangxi Plain, he really didn't have such confidence, and he didn't want to deceive himself. He shook his head and said, "Almost... not."
Tang Yin fell silent, tapped his forehead, and turned to look at Qingyu. Qingyu thought for a while and asked, "Who is the commander of the Sichuan Army?"
Li Shu answered straightforwardly, saying, "It's Chen Lihua, the commander of the Ninth Army of Sichuan."
Among the generals of Sichuan, Chen Lihua is a relatively unknown one. He has no outstanding achievements and has not fought too famous battles. Of course, he has never made any mistakes. He has always been well-behaved. He relied on his qualifications to get the position of the commander of the Ninth Army, and then was promoted to general. He is not outstanding among the commanders of Sichuan, but it does not mean that he is a mediocre person. It can only be said that Sichuan is full of talents, and those with slightly weaker strength cannot show their edge at all.
Chen Lihua is proficient in military books and strategies, good at strategy and commanding on the battlefield. If such a general were placed in other countries, he would have become a famous general long ago, but he would remain unknown in Sichuan.
However, he was also a late bloomer. In the battle of Wangxi Plain in Zhenxi, he became famous in one battle.
"Chen Lihua?" Tang Yin muttered the name, thought for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."
Qingyu was not very familiar with Chen Lihua, but he had heard a little about it and knew that there was such a person among the generals of Sichuan. He asked, "Does General Li have a more detailed battle report?"
Li Shu nodded hurriedly and shook his head to the attendant next to him. The attendant agreed and ran out quickly. Not long after leaving, he returned from outside and brought a roll of bamboo slips.
That was the record of the entire battle by Li Shu's advisers. It was recorded in great detail, and all the details that could be seen were recorded in it.
Qingyu took the bamboo slips, unfolded it, and looked closely. While Qingyu was checking the battle report, Li Shu shook his head and said to Tang Yin: "Your Highness, the Ninth Army under Chen Lihua is extremely powerful. It is his Ninth Army that caused the most casualties to our army. The only thing to be thankful for in this battle is that our army has also fought Chen Lihua's Ninth Army to the point of exhaustion. At present, the strength of the Sichuan Army mainly comes from the 11th, 16th, and 17th Corps."
Tang Yin disagreed with Li Shu's statement. The sequence has been ranked ninth. How strong can the combat power be? If you want to say strong, you can only say that the commander of the Sichuan Army is strong, good at using troops and commanding on the battlefield.
Sure enough, after Qingyu read the entire battle report, he nodded repeatedly and sighed: "Chen Lihua's command on the battlefield and battlefield response are first-class. In this battle, he has never made a mistake from beginning to end. It is not easy to achieve this in such a large-scale battle."
"General Qingyu also thinks this person is powerful?" Li Shu asked with wide eyes.
Qingyu smiled bitterly and said without hesitation: "Of course he is powerful. He is the best among the generals. However, there is one thing I haven't figured out yet, why doesn't he take advantage of the situation to attack?"
The battle of Wangxi Plains seemed to be a draw, but in fact, the Zhen army was defeated, with only 60,000 to 70,000 troops left, while the main force of the Sichuan army was still there. If he didn't launch a major attack at this time, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity? Judging from Chen Lihua's ability to command troops, he really shouldn't have made such a mistake.
