Chapter 937

Chapter 939

Not long after Li Xingzai rushed back to Luofeng City, Ye Yuanhuo's soldiers had already assembled. An army of 100,000 camped ten miles north of Luofeng City, encircling Luofeng City in a fan shape.

The two sides lined up to build up momentum for this battle for a long time.

But at this critical moment, neither side launched an attack. The first strategy adopted was exactly the same, and they sent a letter of surrender to the other party.

Li Xingzai's book said that only the Rong family was involved in the empire, and the empire was not heard in the Rong family. Our empire has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and the soldiers are strong and strong. You will go back there when you come from there. God has the virtue of good life, and this time, you will not be killed.

Ye Yuanhuo's book said that everyone is a descendant under the blue sky, so why should the Rong people live in the bitter cold outside the customs. Divine treasure, the virtuous live in it. In the current situation, it is obvious that the destiny is according to me and not according to you. If you are wise enough to open the door and surrender, I can promise you a lifetime of prosperity and wealth, and let you take care of your life.

One after another, the civil servants under their respective command racked their brains to find some decent vocabulary to use. The meaning expressed is almost exactly the same, it is nothing more than how one's own side will carry the goods in the sky, how to act for the sky, and how the enemy is vulnerable.

The two armies faced off for more than half a month without seeing a single battle. It took a lot of spit on each other, but there was still no intention to part ways.

The reason is self-evident, neither side is actually ready.

It will take some time for the wildfire to repair the food route damaged by Li Xingzai. Logistics support must be established before the front line dares to go to war.

Li Xingzai was doing almost the same thing, building a food route from Yangzhou to Luofeng City. This is a bloody battle, and it must be ensured that Yangzhou's food and grass can be continuously delivered to Luofeng City.

The war was too rushed for either side.

The war was fought on the frontline soldiers who sacrificed their lives and blood flowed into rivers. But this is not the whole of the war, let alone the most important part.

The supply of food and grass in the rear, the ration of equipment, the practice of keeping a low profile for decades, and the training with blood and sweat at ordinary times... The trump card of the decades will be revealed in one day, and the battle will be decisive.

Li Xingzai poured a lot of money into this battle, Song Youqu was in charge of the logistics of Liangzhou, Qi Jiguang was the marshal, and Ma Chao was in charge of the frontline battle... After years of struggle, all the elites he had accumulated were transferred to Luofeng City.

But even if they concentrated their efforts on one point, facing the tyrannical Rong clan, they still had no chance of winning. Qi Jiguang was downcast and did not have much confidence in the face of this battle.

Only Li Xingzai arrogantly said, "The enemy has already entered my palm."

Qi Jiguang and others were all confused, Qi Jiguang raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, what's the meaning of this?"

Li Xingzai laughed and said: "I have turned around to the north, the people of Jiangbei have been suffering from the Rong tribe for a long time, and they are looking forward to the king's northward movement day and night. Now the army of 100,000 Rong tribes has gathered in Fengcheng, and set up a posture with our army. , a battle to the death. The empire is so big, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it. The outcome of this battle will determine the ownership of people’s hearts. If we can defeat this army, the people of the world will belong to me.”

Everyone pondered that Li Xingzai's words were not necessarily unreasonable. But... everything is based on the premise of victory. Judging from the current situation, does our army really have a chance of winning?

This was just a thought in his heart, and no one would say it out loud, which would bring Li Xingzai's face.

"Does your Majesty have a chance of winning?" Hua Mulan took a step forward.

Everyone is a mature and prudent master, or an old cunning and cunning. Only this woman was straight-hearted and directly threw the problem out.

"This..." Li Xingzai twitched his beard and pondered slightly: "War is changing rapidly, and it is impossible for anyone to predict the prophet. It is nothing more than adapting to the situation. My will has been decided. Not necessarily invincible.”

Li Xingzai's words were impassioned, but he almost didn't say anything. What everyone wants now is not his determination, but a way, a way to defeat the enemy and kill the generals.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan that may defeat the Rong family." Song Youqu took a step forward.

"Oh, this is really a rare thing, you have a plan to tell it quickly."

Song Youqu cleared his throat and said, "Now that the Rong clan is stationing troops along the river, and then gathering forces to attack Luofeng City, the Rong clan is bound to win the Jiangnan. I heard that Cheng Dalei in the northwest has sent troops to Sanshuiguan, and we can send a team of troops. Contact Cheng Dalei and cooperate with our army to defeat the Rong tribe."

Li Xingzai's face slowly sank, and he said, "The northwest is quite far from the East China Sea. I don't know how much time it will take to come and go. Waiting for Cheng Dalei to start operations in the northwest, I'm afraid our affairs here are over."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this minister has already considered it." Song Youqu said, "If you take the waterway, you can reach the northwest in less than half a month. Select a shrewd and capable person who can contact Cheng Dalei."

"In today's chaotic world, I don't know what accidents will happen on the road. Always pinning our hopes on outsiders will make us lose our calculations."

"His Majesty……"

"Okay." Song Youqu was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Li Xingzai's words: "Everyone, this battle is about the power of the empire. It starts with us and will end with us. I have made up my mind, no further discussion is allowed, everyone should consider it. How to win this battle on your own, instead of just looking for help from outsiders."

Song Youqu was a little confused, not knowing that what he said was wrong, causing Li Xingzai to lose his temper. Now that Yu Cheng Dalei is joining forces, it is the best strategy, why did Li Xingzai go his own way and not do it.

Li Xingzai naturally had Li Xingzai's consideration, but the thoughts in his heart would not be known to outsiders.

After half his life, Li Xingzai had gone through many things, and he wanted to do something in his heart. But he has come to this day with the help of Cheng Dalei. When they were trapped in Liangzhou City at the beginning, it was Cheng Dalei who lent a helping hand, and the princes in the north fought against the Rong tribe, and it was also Cheng Dalei's Guan Yu who helped.

To this day, it has been a great battle in the world. Li Xingzai didn't want to help Cheng Dalei anymore, he wanted to win this battle by himself, and he didn't want to have anything to do with Cheng Dalei.

Victory is my own victory. Failure... It's better not to fail.

How could outsiders know this thought, even Li Xingzai was reluctant to admit it in his heart. But if it wasn't for this, he should have gotten in touch with Cheng Dalei long ago, then this battle would have been easier for him.

But since you choose to undertake it independently, you can't complain that the burden on your shoulders is too heavy. Li Xingzai's determination has been made, when it is time to rely on his own ability to compete with Nohara Fire.
