Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2599 Survival in Desperate Circumstances: Han Bingxian, Disregarding Military Orders; Li Shisan

Youzhou is indeed in a desperate situation now.

However, this did not affect Han Xin's mood at all.

In fact, it only made him more excited.

Han Xin was actually a relatively stable commander who always preferred to use his full strength, like a lion hunting a rabbit.

Unfortunately, his life, whether in his past life or this one, is rather dramatic.

In his previous life, although he wanted to be steady, the reality simply did not allow it, and Liu Bang did not have enough troops to give him.

They even took away the troops he had painstakingly built up more than once.

As a result, except for the last battle, they won almost the entire series against overwhelming odds.

In this life, there has not been a single opportunity to fight a decisive battle, whether facing the Li Tang in the east, the Manchu Qing in the north, or the Great Jin in the present.

The vast majority of them were outnumbered by the enemy; it was just a matter of degree.

At best, the forces would be evenly matched.

However, even though Han Xin is known for his steady style, he can still get agitated when faced with an extremely dangerous situation and almost no hope of turning the tide.

There was no hope of turning the tide, but he still succeeded. Doesn't that further prove his military strategy?
Great generals pursue stability because the vast majority of the battles they fight are large-scale campaigns, and a loss in these campaigns could shake the very foundations of the nation.

However, that doesn't mean they would completely reject the thrill of turning the tide against all odds.

There is no contradiction between these two things.

Now, this is an opportunity for Han Xin.

As for the consequences of losing, what problem would that have for Han Xin?
Since there was already little hope, if he failed to turn the tide, he would at most be heading towards a predetermined ending!

After all, besides him, who else in the entire Youzhou would dare to take on this situation?
Han Xin didn't even bother to consult Qin Zheng before he took it upon himself to abandon the Zhuojun defense line.

Moreover, he didn't secretly intend to abandon the Zhuojun defense line and retreat to the rear; instead, he made a big show of it, as if afraid that Li Mu wouldn't know he was going to retreat to the rear.

Li Mu himself didn't react much to Han Xin's gesture, but his generals, including Li Cunxiao and Bai Hu, couldn't sit still any longer.

Han Xin's attitude showed that he didn't consider them a threat at all!

Who isn't extremely cautious when retreating? They hide if they can, fearing being caught up.

However, Han Xin's actions clearly indicated that he was afraid they wouldn't give up.

The generals were outraged by this and volunteered to fight for Li Mu.

However, Han Xin's arrogant attitude made Li Mu increasingly suspicious that there might be a trap. If they chased after him too easily, they might fall into his trap.

However, the generals below were not so easily swayed at this point.

During this period, despite having more troops, they were hesitant and timid. As the attackers who were wounded while defending, they were already feeling incredibly frustrated and on the verge of losing their temper.

Previously, it was only because Li Mu, as the commander-in-chief, had been forcibly suppressing it.

However, after suppressing it for so long, even Li Mu is about to lose control.

Although Li Mu was one of the two generals of the Jin army, and one of the highest-ranking officers in the army, holding a position equivalent to a provincial governor or a general of the Imperial Guard, his prestige in the army was still inferior to that of his contemporaries such as Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Wei Qing.

Therefore, it can be suppressed for a time, but not forever.

Unable to bear this humiliation, Li Cunxiao disobeyed Li Mu's military orders, left the camp, and led his Flying Tiger Cavalry in pursuit.

Military orders are paramount, and those who disobey them are always subject to military law. However, sometimes even military orders cannot withstand the influence of powerful connections.

Li Cunxiao was not only a member of the Jin imperial family, but also a man of great military achievements and a renowned reputation. Even if he disobeyed military orders, he would certainly be punished, but he would not be beheaded like others.

Therefore, even Bai Hu, Bai Qi's son, dared not do what Li Cunxiao did.

After all, if Bai Hu dared to disobey military orders, he could really be beheaded.

Some Grand Commanders might give Bai Qi face, but others wouldn't.

Someone like Guo Ziyi would definitely give Bai a break.

If it were someone like Yue Fei, who was strict in disciplining his troops, and dared to disobey military orders, he would have executed Bai Qi's son, or even Li Cunxiao, or even the emperor's son, without hesitation.

However, compared to Yue Fei, Li Mu, even if he wasn't the type to act lightly, wasn't the type to be stubbornly inflexible either. Bai Hu's fate might still be uncertain, but Li Cunxiao would definitely have a way out.

Of course, this is under the condition of losing.

If they win, then they are naturally credited and blameless, or even that the incompetence of their captain affected their performance.

Upon receiving the news, Li Mu was even more shocked.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about investigating Li Cunxiao's disobedience to military orders. Even if he wanted to investigate, he would have to wait until Li Cunxiao returned.

If Han Xin had indeed laid an ambush, it would be questionable whether he could even return.

"General Right, why are you in such a panic!"

"With General Li's bravery, sending an army to meet him and ensure his safety should not be a problem!" Strategist Wei Renpu said calmly.

For the Great Jin Dynasty, even if there really was an ambush, the loss would only be a few thousand men.

They, with their large and powerful family and business empire, could afford to suffer this loss.

Even if these three thousand men were Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Cavalry, the same would be true.

"Perhaps it's a good opportunity to let Cunxiao test Han Xin's strengths and weaknesses!" Li Zhen, who was also a strategist, said.

Li Zhen was also a ruthless strategist, and Jia Xu was only a ruthless strategist for self-preservation. As long as his life was not threatened, he was still a normal person.

However, Li Zhen is different. He is truly driven by his goal and is willing to cause chaos in the world as long as he can achieve it!
If Li Cunxiao really manages to detect Han Xin's trend, so what if even if Li Cunxiao himself falls into the trap, let alone thousands of people?
If we had the chance to annihilate Han Xin's army, it would be equivalent to the complete annihilation of the main force of Youzhou.

This battle is now coming to a complete end.

As for the fact that everyone is a member of the Jin imperial family, Li Zhen could only say that there are many members of the Jin imperial family, but the feelings among them are not that deep!

"Order Bai Hu to lead an army and bring Li Cunxiao back!"

Li Mu completely ignored Li Zhen's words. Li Zhen was ruthless in his actions, but Li Mu was not that kind of person.

It was precisely because of Li Zhen's personality that even among his fellow members of the Jin imperial family, few were willing to be close to him.
