Raid

Chapter 272
"Besides, think about it for yourself, is this the shortest way to Wangling Pass?"

"How is this possible?" An Huai was still unbelievable, "There may be something hidden in it. Your Highness, we have been following you for a long time. We are comrades-in-arms Pao Ze, and we killed the enemy together. You know Lao Ke's temper. How could he Might do something like this."

"It's just that now, I'm afraid I can't think of a second explanation." Li Shengxi sighed, and she didn't want to believe it.

Everyone is a comrade-in-arms Pao Ze who has known each other for a long time, no matter whose betrayal is, it is extremely puzzling and incredible.Obviously they fought bloody battles and killed the enemy together on the battlefield.Even if there is some disagreement later, it is not enough to choose to betray one's country and abandon the people that one has guarded for a long time.

"My own sister, my nephew, his deceased wife and young son all died because of the people of Xirong. Why did he betray us and return to Xirong? If he really did this, where would his reputation be? I am sorry for his dead wife and children. He killed so many soldiers and generals in Xirong before, and captured the king of Xirong. Isn't he seeking his own death when he voted for Xirong. How could the people of Xirong let him go!" An Huai gritted his teeth, although It was a hesitant question, but the words seemed to be three-pointed.

Li Shengxi lowered his eyes and remained silent, as if he was also thinking about this question.

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Shengxi again: "Your Highness, there are still 5000 soldiers left in Xizhou, so it's better for the last general to lead the troops."

"Anqing, wait a minute." Li Shengxi raised his hand, and continued to analyze calmly: "It is absolutely inconvenient to travel long distances with food and grass. Although he is going to Wangling Pass, there must be no food and grass. In this way, you send 500 people first." People search along the grain road, and the grain and grass of Xu Huanzhi and others cannot be left behind."

There are still 5000 people in Xizhou, but Xu Huan and his party brought tens of thousands of people to the expedition, and they must not make any mistakes because of this matter.

She had to stabilize this side so that Xu Huanzhi's side would not have any worries.If not, the grain and grass line would be broken, and Xizhou and Wangling Pass would fall, then even if Xu Huanzhi and Mu Jing had tens of thousands of soldiers, they would become a trapped beast—a real trapped beast.

Although the Xirong people in Kaizhou were cut off from food and grass by Mu Jing, at least they still hold a state, and there are countless people in the city, and Kaizhou has food.Even if it is trapped, it can last for many days.

But Xu Huanzhi and Mu Jing are different.Food and grass must not be lost.

An Huai was a little surprised, and immediately, he patted his head, "I forgot about this matter, but fortunately Your Highness is careful. Then, what do you think of this matter?"

"Ask someone to assign 2000 people to chase after Ke Yongzhao to see if they can intercept them, and then search for food and grass. Then lead the army to Wangling Pass for reinforcements." Li Shengxi rubbed his head, then stood up and said, "You and I Together, we will go to Wangling Pass together."

An Huai thought for a while, then shook his head: "Your Highness, no, the situation at Wangling Pass is unclear, Your Highness is determined not to go to danger."

"What are you talking about? I started fighting at the age of 16, so I haven't been on the battlefield for several years. But I have fought a lot of battles, and I have never heard of a battle that does not have to be in danger. The situation is unknown. This It's not the first time. Wangling Pass is the gateway to Xizhou, and Xizhou is the gateway to the east of Xirong, so there must be no loss. Compared with Xizhou, what am I?" Li Shengxi said disapprovingly .

"Your Highness is now the only commander in the rear, and he is also the god of Dinghai. If His Highness is injured, whether it is on the front line or the common people, there will be chaos. Even if it is a victory brought to you, I am afraid that you will not be able to win..."

"How did you talk? It's frustrating." Li Shengxi was dissatisfied, and he couldn't win the battle that was sent to him.

"The last general can't talk." An Huai also realized that what he said was wrong, but he didn't think too much, and continued: "Besides, not letting His Highness go to Wangling Pass is not letting His Highness be alone. If In terms of speed, my men can hardly be compared with Ke Yongzhao's soldiers, and they can't keep up with him at all.

It's better for His Royal Highness to lead the troops to intercept, and Mo will lead the troops to take a shortcut to Wangling Pass.Your Highness, you are fast and powerful enough to deter rebels.It may be more appropriate for you to intercept it than to visit Lingguan with the last general.Wangling Pass is as important as grain and grass, and neither should be lost. "

The Southwest generals have their own strengths and characteristics.

Mu Jing's fights were ostentatious, fast, precise and ruthless, taking everyone by surprise.Xu Huanzhi's victory lies in carefulness, and his own damage is at the bottom.An Huai is famous for his bravery, every time he makes a move, he always kills more enemies.Sun Jie, on the other hand, has a strong literary spirit, likes to strategize, and is careful and steady... All of these are not the same.

As for Ke Yongzhao, he is good at fighting fast, and he and his men are very fast.Don't look at his dejected appearance on weekdays, his horse speed is also unsurpassed among the generals in Jinzhong.

In terms of speed, it can be said to be unparalleled in the brocade. In the Southern Jin Dynasty, only Mu Jing and Li Shengxi could compare with it.

Li Shengxi lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and then nodded, "What you said makes sense. I reckon that even if Ke Yongzhao is a traitor, the soldiers under his command will not rebel easily. If Xiao Yi is righteous , not necessarily to go to war. I will be sure to convince them."

An Huai was slightly stunned, and then nodded happily, "That's good."

"Since this is the case, there is no need to bring 1000 people. If 1000 people stay in Xizhou, it is enough for me to lead [-] people."

"Your Highness can't, you can't just bring these people. What if Lao Ke really subdues all the soldiers under his command? What if he doesn't give His Highness a chance to speak?" An Huai stopped.

Li Shengzhen shook his head, "Profit may make someone forget blood and hatred, propriety, righteousness and shame, but it cannot make everyone forget. My Jin soldiers are loyal, filial and brave, and they are good men who fought for the country. They may I was blinded for a while, but how could I turn to a thief? Besides, for me, 1000 people are enough."

She hasn't led troops for a long time, but she was the myth of the Southwest, the Marshal of the West when they defeated Xirong.

When An Huai heard the words, he didn't stop him.

Seeing that Li Shengxi was about to put on his armor and go away, An Huai asked again: "Your Highness, if you catch Ke Yongzhao, will you..."

"I still have to ask him a lot of things, and I will kill him easily, but if he resists, then I can't help it." The dead can also speak.

"No... The final question is, if he really rebelled, how will His Highness deal with it afterwards?" An Huai looked at Li Shengxi, and it was rare to see his most disdainful "women's worry" on his face. It seems to be very concerned about this issue.

"Naturally, it is the law of the state!" Li Sheng said firmly.

"What if there is a secret?"

"What kind of secrets could allow him to entrap his former comrades like this? With tricks and tricks, Xu Huanzhi and others are now under the enemy's back. What kind of secrets can make him ignore thousands of soldiers and people. Anqing, Xirong is not the Northern Qi Dynasty , They will massacre the city. In life, who does not suffer? I don’t know what happened to Ke Yongzhao. I only know that he is not as miserable as those people who died under the butcher knife of the Xirong people, so why should he turn his back on him?”
