Chapter 109: The army arrives
The black clouds are squeezing the city and are about to destroy it!
It seems that even God knows that something big will happen today. Yesterday, there was a clear sky, and only one night, the black clouds were stacked one after another, as if they were about to cover the entire sky.
Although the sky outside is covered with dark clouds, there is little wind flowing in the air, which makes people feel quite depressed.
Li Chengming got up early. Under the service of two little maids, he washed up and had breakfast. He asked Wang Hu to prepare the car, and then sat in the car and headed towards Xue Wanche's military camp.
In fact, Li Chengming was quite concerned about the upcoming war, after all, this was related to his development after the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengming is not worried about his own safety. After all, even if there is any accident this time, even if Xue Wanche's army is defeated, he still has 70% or 80% of it to protect himself.
However, if this is really a failure, it will probably take some more effort to make a comeback.
Of course, he could have another plan, which was to sneak into Chang'an and kill Li Shimin directly. With his current strength of the Zhongren, he would use transformation techniques and illusion techniques to kill Li Shimin easily.
However, if Li Shimin was killed like this, with his current prestige and strength, it would be impossible to ascend to the throne of emperor. He could only take advantage of Li Yuan. This is not what Li Chengming wanted to see. After all, if Li Yuan takes office again, things will definitely have some twists and turns. I am afraid it will take another step to stabilize his position.
And if he can continue to develop with this momentum, as long as he can defeat the coming Yuchi Gong and Changsun Wuji this time, his power will expand again. If this continues, perhaps within a few months, he will be able to directly use the power to destroy Li Shimin.
You know, it only took seven or eight days to come to the Tang Dynasty from his possession to this body.
In seven or eight days, he went from a prince with only more than 20 people under his command to a desperate prince, and now he has thousands of soldiers and a general like Xue Wanche. Such a speed of increase is simply unbelievable.
You should know that these soldiers he recruited, even the general Xue Wanche, only rely on his own strength, rather than the legacy left by Li Jiancheng, were able to conquer them. Such ability was simply unimaginable to others.
It is precisely because of this that Li Chengming has such confidence. He directly destroyed Li Shimin with his own strength, and then he could also use Li Shimin to deal with Li Yuan. In this way, his path to ascending the throne of emperor will be stable.
"See Your Highness!" Seeing Li Chengming coming, Xue Wanche was still waiting respectfully on the side early.
"No need to be polite!" Li Chengming waved his hand lightly, looked up at the vaguely visible stone slashers on the city wall, nodded slightly, then jumped off the car, walked in front, and walked towards the military camp next to him.
Walking into the barracks, he came to the central army tent where Xue Wanche was in charge. Li Chengming sat down without hesitation at the Hu Case, the chief of the central government, and then asked Xue Wanche, "Xue Wanche, is there any news about Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Gong who came?"
Hearing Li Chengming's question, Xue Wanche, who was standing in front, hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Report to Your Highness, two hours ago, a horse was coming back to report that the army led by Yuchi Gong and Changsun Wuji had reached fifty miles away. It would be within two or three hours before it would arrive outside Hui County!"
"Oh, it's faster than expected?" Li Chengming raised his eyebrows when he heard Xue Wanche's words. You should know that they had received rewards from the scouts before, but at that time, Xue Wanche expected that the army led by Yuchi Gong and Changsun Wuji would be at least two or three hours later than expected.
"The last general is also strange. There seems to be something strange about this matter?!" Xue Wanche also frowned. He had expected that it would be calculated at the speed of the normal army, but this time the marching speed of the army led by Yuchi Gong and Changsun Wuji was twice as fast as the normal army, which really made him a little puzzled.
If you march so quickly and quickly, you may not be able to stand the body of those soldiers when you arrive in Hui County, and at least you will be exhausted. This is a taboo in marching in the army. Even if Changsun Wuji doesn't know, wouldn't Yuchi Gong, the general who leads the army, still know?
Although Xue Wanche was not optimistic about the ability of Yuchi Gong to lead the army this time, he could not understand the purpose of Yuchi Gong's urgent marching.
Xue Wanche couldn't guess it thoroughly, but Li Chengming, who was sitting in the first position, thought for a moment, thought of it, and smiled indifferently, "I may be able to guess his purpose. If I guess well, Yuchi Gong would do this, I am afraid that I will be in a hurry to seek revenge on me."
When Xue Wanche heard Li Chengming's words, he couldn't help but look suspicious on his face, but when he saw Li Chengming not saying anything, he didn't ask much as a subordinate.
Seeing the expression on Xue Wanche's face, Li Chengming did not hide it and said with a faint smile, "This matter is nothing. Do you remember the incident of my king attacking Chang'an at night six days ago? That night, I attacked Mingde Gate in Chang'an at night, and the city captain of the Mingde Gate happened to be the son of Yuchi Gong. I killed him. I am afraid that because of this, Yuchi Gong came here, he would march so quickly."
After getting Li Chengming's answer to his doubts, Xue Wanche suddenly realized.
Although he was not familiar with Yuchi Gong, he also knew that Yuchi Gong now had only Yuchi Baolin's son, and he was also the son he loved very much, because Yuchi Baolin not only looked like him, but also was also very brave. He once fought with Yuchi Gong for three days and three nights without any disadvantage.
Now that Yuchi Baolin was actually killed by Li Chengming, it is no wonder that Yuchi Gong ignored the taboos of marching and insisted on leading the army to come in a hurry, which turned out to avenge his son.
Next, Li Chengming asked Xue Wanche some questions about the city defense arrangement, and then followed Xue Wanche and watched how he handled the defense, how to dispatch the city defense materials, how to arrange the defense on the city wall, etc.
It can be said that these arrangements and arrangements opened Li Chengming's eyes and gave him different insights into how to command the army to fight in the environment of the Tang Dynasty.
And this kind of insight is something he could not learn even in modern times when watching so-called war movies or TV series.
Time flies, and as thousands of people in Hui County are preparing, the guards on the city wall suddenly see countless dense figures rushing towards Hui County like ants...
