Li Zhaodi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhao, it's not that I am loyal, but that I can't go to Zhenshi City. If I go, I will die!"

Zhao Zhang said inexplicably: "Why do you say that?"

"Come on, look at the map."

Li Zhaodi pointed to the map and said, "Dashi sent 100,000 troops this time, which can be said to be a war that has been launched in an unprepared manner. What does this mean? It shows that Dashi's attack on the Western Regions has been planned for a long time. Judging from the way they launched the attack, the opponent is accurate.

The preparation was very sufficient and the intention was obvious, that was, to concentrate troops, fight quickly, and wipe out Yuwen Zhen in one battle, as for

They probably didn't take the Jin Dynasty army seriously in other parts of the Western Regions."

Zhao Zhang nodded. He also understood this very well. The core of the Jin Dynasty's military power in the Western Regions was Su Ye, where Yuwen Zhen was.

And Zhiqi where *** is located, the two of them have a total of nearly 70,000 soldiers, and the Jin Dynasty's army in the entire Western Regions was only ten.

Just ten thousand people.

Zhao Zhang said: "Because of this, Yuwen Zhen concentrated all the troops stationed in other parts of the Western Regions to Zhenshi City, from scattered to concentrated, and could gather 40,000 to 50,000 people. Although the troops still have a disadvantage, they can barely have the power to fight."

Li Zhaodi pointed to the Zhenshi City and Juyan City on the map and said, "I led us here to fight with Zhan Bai's nearly 200,000 troops. At that time, Zhenshi City and Juyan City were a strong city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but with the wars, these two cities were greatly damaged. After the war, the adults felt that the existence of these two cities was a potential threat, so before leaving, they ordered people to razed Zhenshi City and Juyan City to the ground and completely destroyed them."

After hearing Li Zhaodi's words, Zhao Zhang said in confusion: "Since that's the case, why did Yuwen Zhen issue this order?"

A city that cannot be held firm and gathering the army here is simply a great act. Even if Yu Wenzhen is stupid, he will not be unable to understand this truth.

Li Zhaodi said: "The order issued by Yuwen Zhen is only aimed at us. The order he gave to the army in other regions is definitely not to gather in Zhenshi City."

Zhao Zhang nodded: "You are right, there is indeed this possibility."

"It's not possible, but certain."

Li Zhaodi sneered: "Dashi made a good start and wiped out the main force of the Jin army gathered in Suye in one fell swoop. Next, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to pursue and do his best to completely eliminate Yuwen Zhen and ***. So at this moment, Dashi must be chasing Yuwen Zhen, needless to say, and he must be chasing Yuwen Zhen and lingering. As for the situation of the garrison, we are the closest military town to Zhenshi City. The order Yuwen Zhen issued to us is nothing more than to distract us from the Dashi army, buy him time to escape, and reduce his own danger."

Zhao Zhang immediately took a breath: "Yuwen really wants us to be his scapegoat!"

Li Zhaodi said: "That's the reason, so we can't go."

Zhao Zhang said in a deep voice: "But if we ignore it and watch Yuwen Zhen lose his destruction coldly, who else can compete with Dashi?"

Li Zhaodi said: "Dashi fought unannounced and attacked him unprepared. In less than two days, the two major military forces of *** and Yuwen Zhen were eliminated. The entire central and western regions of the Western Regions fell into the hands of the Dashi people. Things have become a foregone conclusion and cannot be recovered. What we need to consider now is not the life and death of Yuwen Zhen and ***, but the direction of the war and response strategies for the next stage."

Zhao Zhang said: "Yuwen Zhen and *** were crippled. Now, in the Western Regions, the strength is strong enough, and only one Helan Jiedushi Huang Hongliang is left."

Li Zhaodi pointed to the Helan on the map and said, "Yuwen Zhen will definitely go east and flee to Helan with the remaining troops, joining Huang Hongliang to resist the attack of the Dashi people."

"Brother Zhao, the issue we need to consider now is not that Yuwen is really alive or dead."

"You mean, what should we do?"

Zhao Zhang guessed Li Zhaodi's worries. The two major cities of Zhiqi and Suye fell one after another. Yuwen Zhen and *** fled to Helan. As a result, the entire western and central Western Regions, the army belonging to the Jin Dynasty was almost completely lost. The number of troops in the southern and northern regions was relatively small and the troops were scattered. Facing Dashi's 100,000 troops, the military power of the two sides was very different. Not to mention counterattacking, it was a very difficult thing to defend their own territory.

Li Zhaodi said: "We can't support ourselves alone. Dashi's military strength is strong and cannot resist. We should retreat immediately."

Zhao Zhang nodded in agreement: "The Dashi people are all paying attention to Yuwen Zhen at this time. In this way, we have enough time and are ready to prepare. We will officially evacuate in three days and go to Helan Kingdom to meet with Huang Hongliang and others."

Three days later?

Li Zhaodi shook her head: "Let's go right away, and it's not going to Holland."

Zhao Zhang was slightly stunned and said in confusion: "Why are you so anxious?"

"It's risky to leave early and leave late. It's always a matter of leaving. It's better to leave as soon as possible."

Li Zhaodi said, "Yuwen Zhen asked us to go to Zhenshi City, and we ignored this. If we go to Helan now, it may cause unnecessary conflicts with him. Brother Zhao, you must understand that we are independent existences, neither Yuwen Zhen's subordinates nor Huang Hongliang's subordinates, but both of them are above you. If we go to Helan, we must obey their orders. If they suppress you to fight against the Dashi people at that time, will you listen or not?"

Li Zhaodi knew that Dashi invaded the Western Regions in a large-scale invasion, and the court would react sooner, and would definitely let someone command the overall situation and launch a counterattack against Dashi people. The biggest possibility of this person was one of Yuwen Zhen and Huang Hongliang. After he went to Helan, he would be mercilessly or later.

After hearing what Li Zhaodi said, Zhao Zhang pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

Zhao Zhang said, "Then where will we go?"

Li Zhaodi said: "Go to Linguo to find Du Guangzhen and ask Qiao Zheng to bring the army there. The total number of troops from our three sides is more than 13,000. Self-protection should be enough. As for the subsequent matters, it depends on the situation!"

There is a total of one governor's office and two defensive envoys in the southern part of the Western Regions. Zhao Zhang has 8,000 soldiers and 3,000 Du Guangzhen's headquarters. Lin Kingdom, where the garrison is located, belongs to the easternmost part of the southern part of the Western Regions. There is only one Shihucheng separated from Helan Kingdom. Qiao Zheng has two thousand soldiers in his hand. The place where he is stationed is not far from Zhao Zhang. These people are all old generals.

"Okay, just listen to you, let's act immediately."

Zhao Zhang was very convinced of Li Zhaodi.
