The first thousand two hundred and seventeen chapters a complete defeat eighteen
Cheng Feishi said with a heavy expression: "Zhang Jin, Kou Xiong, Yan Yi and other generals are not ordinary people, so we should not be careless."
After Cheng Feishi surrendered, he was entrusted with important tasks by Li Congshan. His 10,000 elite cavalry were incorporated into the Barbroken Army. Cheng Feishi himself was also appointed as the deputy general of the Barbroken Army, second only to Li Congshan. Li Congshan's generosity and mind touched Cheng Feishi very much, so he had no suspicion in his heart and did his best to him.
Huo Chuo said disdainfully: "How powerful can it be? I want to be aware of it."
Li Congshan glanced at the two of them and said indifferently: "Wait a little longer, don't worry."
Li Congshan spoke, but Cheng Feishi and Huo Chuo said nothing more.
At this time, Yang Shan and Wu Chuang walked in.
"See General."
The two bowed to Li Congshan.
Li Congshan laughed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sit down and talk."
"General Xie."
The two of them thanked each other and sat down aside.
Yang Dan and Wu Chuang had just arrived here from Chouzhou. The two of them led 40,000 troops, currently stationed in Chouzhou, and formed a confrontation with the 80,000 imperial army of Zhang Jin, Yan Yi and Kou Xiong.
Li Congshan asked, "General Wu, how is the situation over your side?"
Wu Chuang said: "Bozhou and Mingzhou each have 40,000 soldiers, a total of 80,000 troops. The subsequent 20,000 imperial guards led by Li Xun should have arrived in Bozhou at this time. The imperial court's army in the east has reached 100,000, and we are under heavy pressure."
Yang Shan also said: "Two days ago, when Li Xun was still in Jinyang, he issued an order to make Yan Yi, Zhang Jin and others strengthen the city walls and not to fight. So in the past two days, I have sent troops to provoke several times, but the other party ignored it. We don't have any good chance, so we can only continue to confront each other."
Some time ago, Yang Shan and Wu Chuang sent troops to provoke him many times. Most of the time, Zhang Jin and Kou Xiong avoided fighting, but they also led troops to fight twice. Although Yang Shan and Wu Chuang were ambushing the troops around, they wanted to lure them out, but they gathered and annihilated them. However, Zhang Jin and Kou Xiong were both very capable and did not be deceived. Wu Chuang's conspiracy did not succeed.
Now, with Li Xun's order issued, Zhang Jin and others have become more conservative. In the past two days, they have only strengthened the city walls and no matter how Yang Shan and others provoked, they are unable to defend themselves. This makes Wu Chuang and Yang Shan really have no way to deal with each other.
After listening to the story between Yang Shan and Wu Chuang, Li Congshan nodded and said in a low voice: "Although Li Xun is a foreign relative, he is still a long-standing battle and is somewhat capable."
Wu Chuang looked at Li Congshan and felt a little strange. Before the 30,000 imperial guards led by Yan Yi arrived, the two sides had been in a stalemate for nearly a month. During this period, with Zhang Jin's 30,000 people, the other side had only a total of 100,000 troops. After Li Conggu had annexed Youzhou, the total force in his hand had reached 200,000, which was exactly twice the military force of the other side, and his morale was strong. But strangely, for such a long time, Li Conggu had always remained silent under his absolute advantage. In name, he was stabilizing himself and raising food and grass, but the reason was still a bit unreasonable.
Some time ago, Li Conggu suddenly issued an order, ordering Li Congshan to lead the army to raid Chuozhou and take it down in one fell swoop. The battle went very smoothly. Just when everyone thought that Li Conggu would take a greater military action, General Li Congshan did not take any action. He wasted two days in Chuozhou. Naturally, Li Congshan's inaction was not that he did not want to act, but that he must not do anything before receiving Li Conggu's order.
Two days later, with the Yunzhou Jiedushi Kou Xiong leading 20,000 troops to Hebei, Li Conggu suddenly issued an order to lead Li Congshan to withdraw from Chuozhou. The battle ended, leaving the people of Weizhou inexplicable and unknown.
In the past nearly a month, taking advantage of the fact that the imperial army had not yet entered Hebei, he had the opportunity to stop fighting. Now, the imperial court has gathered a hundred thousand troops to enter Hebei. At this time, Li Congshan suddenly notified Wu Chuang and Yang Shan to come to Zhaozhou to discuss military plans. This was obviously a preparation to take action, and it was a big move.
Li Conggu, Li Congshan and his son made Wu Chuang and Yang Dan and other generals really confused.
Li Congshan looked at Wu Chuang at this time and asked, "General Wu, what are your good opinions on the subsequent actions?"
Wu Chuang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Now the imperial court has gathered 100,000 troops in Bozhou and Mingzhou. Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai have joined forces, and there are 80,000 troops. The two sides have about 200,000 troops in total. And depending on the situation, they are obviously not ready to take the initiative, focusing on defense. In this way, our army does not have an advantage. If we take the initiative to attack, it may be difficult to win, and there will be too many casualties."
Yang Dan also shook his head: "This battle is not easy to fight."
Yang Dan also believed that the other party's posture was already very obvious. Strengthening the city walls and hoarding food and grass was obviously preparing to fight a protracted war. There was a long stalemate. In addition, the army was huge, with nearly 200,000 people. If he defended his life and did not fight, he would have no way to deal with the other party.
Huo Chuo said loudly: "What do you do if you think so much? If you don't stop, gather the main force, fight Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai first, take down Chuzhou, cut off their left and right echo situation, and see what else they can do."
Wu Chuang nodded and said, "I think it's feasible. I'll fight first. If you can't fight, you'll return it. We won't suffer any big losses."
"Let's take a look!"
After hearing everyone's words, Li Congshan pondered for a moment, and then said this again.
Everyone looked at each other. You said let us talk about our suggestions. If you said that, you still said the same thing. What does this mean?
At this time, a sudden roar of loud shouts came from outside.
Li Congshan called his personal soldiers in and asked why it was so noisy outside.
The personal soldier smiled and said, "The two generals Wu Meng and Wang Chufang are competing with martial arts. Everyone is watching, it's so lively."
oh!
Li Congshan stood up and smiled at everyone and said, "We might as well go and have a look at the fun."
After saying that, Li Congshan stood up and left, and everyone followed.
Not far away, thousands of people gathered together. In the middle of the venue, Wu Meng and Wang Chufang were competing with each other naked hands, and they were coming and going to a wonderful place, which often caused the audience to applaud, and the scene was very lively.
Li Congshan and others looked at the competition ahead, and Huo Chuo smiled and said, "Wang Chuhang, this kid, looks invincible all day long, and he finally met his opponent today."
Everyone laughed but didn't say anything.
Wu Meng, as his name is, is very brave and is also known as the number one strong general in Youzhou. One is the number one strong general in Weizhou and the other is the number one strong general in Youzhou. Today, the two strong generals met together, and naturally they sparked a huge spark, and a contest began like this.
