Call of the Deer

Chapter 226 Completed the battle, final preparations

"Everyone, come to the original version, give me a subscription, it won't cost much, hehe."

In Linyuan City, the city lord's mansion was filled with awe, everyone did not dare to make a sound, they were all trembling, not even the chief general Su Lie dared to make the slightest noise.

"Guo Chongtao, you are so bad about the lonely thing. The fifty thousand army is almost wiped out. The lonely general is so powerful that he died in battle. What should you do..."

Li Shimin was full of aura, staring at Guo Chongtao who was already kneeling below with a gloomy expression, his eyes were full of murderous intent, wishing to swallow this Guo Chongtao alive who encouraged him.

"My lord, the general realizes his mistake. Please, my lord, for the sake of offering Linyuan City to the general, give the general a chance. The general will definitely take the blame and perform meritorious deeds to atone for his sin..."

In the center of the main hall, the newly cast Guo Chongtao knelt on the ground, his face full of shock, anger and fear.

"Hmph, atone for your crimes? How do you atone for your crimes? Fifty thousand troops, a total of fifty thousand elites, turned into ashes just because of your words, you really deserve to die, come here, pull them out and behead them?"

At this moment, Li Shimin was furious, extremely angry, looking at Guo Chongtao who encouraged him to send troops, his killing intent was hard to contain, not killing would not be enough to anger the common people...

"Wait a minute, my lord. Although General Guo is guilty, he is not guilty of death. I would like to ask my lord to open the door and give General Guo a chance to make meritorious deeds. Moreover, General Guo has made meritorious deeds in dedicating the city and killing meritorious ministers. I am afraid that it will attract others. The criticism, the ultimate goal is to kill the generals before the battle, and the morale of the army will be unstable!"

"My lord, please forgive An Shi for the sake of Brother An Shi's contribution to the city..."

At this time, Gao Shilian also stepped forward. He was Guo Chongtao's fellow countryman and good friend, so he had to stand up, otherwise it would be detrimental to his future career.

Xu Shiji is worthy of being a top counselor. In his opinion, Guo Chongtao, a meritorious minister, should not be beheaded for public or private purposes. On the other hand, the other counselors, because Guo Chongtao betrayed the master, are not very close. It is good to die. , a look of watching the fun.

Especially Liu Yu and Liu Bei, they were so happy, they were very happy that Li Shimin cut off his arms and beheaded Guo Chongtao, a meritorious official, to give an explanation for this defeat.

From Li Shimin's point of view, this Guo Chongtao was not reused by Bei Minghao, so he must be a useless person, and he didn't deserve such a high opinion, but after hearing Xu Shiji's words, he unconsciously calmed down.

"Guo Chongtao, for the sake of your devotion to the city, I will spare your life this time, but the death penalty is inevitable, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Dingzhou is now in a mess by the Yongzhou army. Tomorrow you will go south to Dingzhou. Destroy these Yongzhou Army who took advantage of the chaos..."

"Thank you, my lord, for not killing me, I will definitely swear to my death to complete the task..."

Seeing that Li Shimin finally let go, Guo Chongtao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how difficult the task is, the right way is to escape first. Guo Chongtao agreed to Li Shimin's request first, regardless of the 21 or [-]. At this moment, he was soaked through. sweating...

But others, such as Liu Yu and others, saw that Li Shimin had bypassed Guo Chongtao, and there was a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

"Brother Li, now our army is newly defeated, while Bai Qi's army is full of morale, what should our army do? Should we delay the attack, or send troops quickly?"

At this time, Liu Bei raised the most serious and important problem facing the coalition forces.

"Mr. Mao, the damned Xiao Yan and Dong Cheng took advantage of the fire to loot, and sent troops to attack our Yunzhou while the main force of our army was going north. Especially Xiao Yan's dog thief sent cavalry to attack my Dingzhou, turning Dingzhou into a mess. Damn it, if you don't wipe out the Beiming Army sooner and return to the division, there will be trouble..."

"My lord, it's not that simple for Xiao Yan and Dong Cheng to send troops. They must have been instigated by Bei Minghao, and even formed an alliance with the Beiming Army. Otherwise, how could they put down their prejudices and jointly attack Yunzhou? Moreover, Chen Baxian from the south unexpectedly Troops have also been dispatched. This is not just a coincidence. I am afraid that Bei Minghao adopted a joint strategy to hold back the main force of Qinzhou, wait for the opportunity to go deep into the hinterland of Qinzhou, attack Huanglong directly, and attract our army to help. For now, there are only two options..."

Xu Shiji's eyes flickered with strange light, and his insightful eyes were like torches. Through the information from Qinzhou, he analyzed Bei Minghao's intentions at once, and he deserved to be a top counselor.

"Mao Gong said, I don't know which two roads it is?"

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard the words, and took a deep breath. He didn't expect Bei Minghao to play such a wishful thinking. He felt a chill down his back and broke out in cold sweat...

"The first way is to back off and return to help immediately, but I'm afraid it will be one step later than Bei Minghao, because Li Guangbi has already left the army in Dingzhou to clean up the mess; as for the second way, it is to draw from the bottom of the pot, with the momentum of thunder, Into Huangzhou, the soldiers approached Yanhuang City, forcing Bei Minghao to send troops to rescue, when the time comes, they can surround and ambush Bei Minghao..."

Xu Shiji's words were precise, and every sentence cut to the core. It can be said that he explained the current situation very thoroughly. When everyone heard the words, they all fell silent.

"I choose the second option. I will send troops to the north tomorrow. I must eradicate the Baiqi army in one fell swoop. The soldiers will approach Zhenguan, pass through Zhenguan, and enter Yanhuang City..."

Li Shimin looked back at Liu Yu and Liu Bei, knowing that if he retreated this time, he might not have a chance to form an alliance in the future.

At that time, he can only be divided and wiped out by Bei Minghao, and there will never be a day of recovery, so he can only bet that the winner of this battle is him.

He has done his best in one battle. In this battle, Li Shimin can only win, not lose. If he wins, he will have a bright future. If he loses, he will die without a place to die. He will become a stepping stone for others...

……

Yuhe City, located in the easternmost part of Qianzhou, is the closest city to Zhenguan.

At this moment, Bai Qi had already carried the victory, returned with his troops, and stationed here. At the same time, he sent Zhao Yun to take over Zhenguan, forming a corner to resist the nearly 30 southern coalition forces.

"Everyone, until now, there is one thing that I no longer hide, that is, my lord has sent Yang Hu, Xie An, and Cui Hao to the land of Cangzhou, Yongzhou, and Pingzhou respectively to form an alliance with the three states, and the three The state has sent troops to point at Yunzhou, Dingzhou, and Qinzhou;

And the lord personally sent troops to attack thousands of miles, intending to set fire to Xuanwu City, forcing Li Shimin to return to aid, and relieve the danger of Qianzhou. Therefore, during this period of time, our army must withstand the encroachment of Li Shimin's army and fight for time for the lord... "

Bai Qi sat on the main seat with a solemn and extremely serious expression.

"We must do our best to defend Yuhe City. If the city is alive, the city will be destroyed and the people will die..."

Li Cunxiao immediately stood up and let out an angry roar, with a fierce aura, and an aura of vowing to live and die with Yuhe City spread out...

Following Li Cunxiao's infection, others also stood up one after another, expressing that they would stick to Yuhe City.

"That's right, the morale of the army is available. Li Cunxiao listened to the order and told you to lead [-] soldiers to guard the south gate. Long Qi...Chen Dao...Han Qinhu..."

Following Bai Qi's orderly order to defend, Zhao Yun, who was stationed at Zhenguan, also began to send people to Yanhuang City to ask for help...
