After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 487 Schedule
The night is deep.

There is a howling cold wind outside the window, and there is the fragrance of hot tea in Wangchun Pavilion.

There are five people sitting around the tea table.

They are Li Chen'an, An Zizai, Zhou Zheng, Su Muxin, and Zhou Shiba.

There is a map on the tea table.

There was a cup of tea poured by Li Chenan in front of each other.

But no one went to drink tea.

Except for Li Chenan, the other four were all staring at the map with serious expressions on their faces.

The main reason is that the disparity in strength is too large——

Although there are [-] soldiers in Jiangnan Road, they are actually not scary.

Because the fighting power of the government soldiers is too weak.

Their life in Jiangnan was so easy, they didn't get real training.

They haven't even seen blood!

Their willpower is extremely weak, and once they meet a desperate opponent, they are bound to be defeated.

But Xia Houzhuo's [-] Frontier Army cannot be underestimated.

Since he dared to bring it to the south of the Yangtze River, he must be the most elite soldier in his hands!

What's more, there is still an unidentified well-trained thousand soldiers in Maple Leaf Mountain.

Look at the situation here——

The Xuanjia camp has a total of 500 people.

An Zizai's re-adapted Tiger Camp also has around [-] people.

As for Ning Chuchu's remaining 200 women's army... Li Chen'an didn't let Ning Chuchu participate in this military meeting. Obviously, her 200 or so people are basically negligible.

Or just as Li Chenan's personal guard.

1000 people versus [-]...

This seems like a wishful thinking.

But then analyze the advantages of the thousand people——

One: Their weapons are knives made by Bailian Steel. Although their armor is not made by Bailian Steel, it is much stronger than the standard armor in the Ning Kingdom army in terms of defense and flexibility.

Second: These 1000 people all have martial arts.

And the skills are not bad!

Third... They all carry at least two fireworks on their bodies!

Although not big, its lethality is not weak.

Fourth, the blur that Xiao Wu had configured before leaving Kyoto certainly could not cover the entire battlefield, but it had a huge effect on the local battlefield.

So it's not impossible to fight.

Judging from An Zizao's experience, the fortune of this battle is actually not too small.

If this battle is won, it may be recorded in the annals of history as an actual combat classic that wins more with less.

There is only one problem -

Once the battlefield of 9 to [-] people is spread out, it will stretch for several miles.

This guy Li Chenan is going!

On such a large battlefield, there are only a thousand people on my side, so we must concentrate our forces to defeat each of them, and this cannot take Li Chenan's safety into consideration.

As for Ning Chuchu's more than 200 women's army... It is too unreliable to entrust the life of the dignified regent to her.

"I agree to this battle!"

After some deliberation, An Zizai raised his eyes to look at Li Chenan, and said:

"My only request is one... You, either stay here and wait for news, or you go to Pingjiang City."

Zhou Zheng also looked at Li Chenan, "This subordinate agrees with General An's opinion!"

Li Chenan was very depressed.

He thought for a while, "I have a reason to go!"

An Zizai waved his hand: "I don't care what you mean! Could it be that you want to use yourself as bait to lure Xiahou Zhuo to attack again?"

"This bait once or twice is okay, if you use it several times, if one is not good, the fish will really eat it!"

"How can I explain to Miss Ruoshui when you are dead?"

"I went back to Kyoto, Wen Zhuyu and the others asked, how should I answer?"

Li Chenan waved his hand, "Wait a minute!"

"Listen to me first!"

"The [-] troops in Jiangnan Road are led by Commander Xie Jing."

"The news that Pingjiang City was captured by the Imperial City Division, I guess it will reach Xie Jing's ears in the near future."

"This Xie Jing, forty years old, born in the army, is not a stunned young man!"

"When he heard the news that Yu Wanzhi of Jiangnan Daodaotai and Governor Song Shiming had been imprisoned, he didn't necessarily want to avenge them!"

Su Muxin also looked at Li Chen'an at this moment, and asked, "You mean... let Xie Jing lead his troops to surrender?"

Li Chenan nodded: "There are only two roads ahead of him."

"Either continue to rebel, or you must show your loyalty to me!"

"He knows what the [-] soldiers in his hands are. There is no future for rebellion, so as long as I summon him, he will come to pledge his allegiance to me!"

An Zizai frowned slightly, "This... makes sense."

"Then you stay here and write a handwritten letter. We will give it to him after we go to Feng County, and let him come here alone to see you."

"No!"

Li Chenan rejected An Zizai's safest suggestion.

"I not only want him to come to see me, I also have a task to give him...Since he was ordered to kill me, of course he must show enough sincerity!"

An Zizai's eyes lit up, "Turning back?"

"Yes, Xiahou Zhuo must die!"

"But we can't afford to pay too much for it."

"A battle between [-] government soldiers and [-] Xiahou Zhuo's elite frontier army... It is definitely impossible to win, but our people can hunt for the greatest victory in the chaotic battlefield with the least cost!"

An Zizai and the others pondered for a moment, this strategy is of course the best, but what if Xie Jing doesn't surrender?

"You still don't have to go in person!"

"You think I want to go?!"

Li Chenan stood up, and came to the window with his hands behind his back.

There are bright red lanterns swaying in the wind outside the window.

There is also heavy snow falling rustlingly dancing under the scarlet light.

"I went to Feng County. When I came here, I could give Xie Jing a reassurance, and even let him urge the fifty thousand soldiers to fight hard!"

"Secondly... I'm in Feng County, so Xiahou Zhuo couldn't wait to kill me."

"I need this battle to end victoriously in the shortest possible time!"

An Zizai and the others looked at Li Chenan's back.

"In a hurry to go to Shuzhou?"

Li Chenan turned around and shook his head:

"It's not that I'm in a hurry to go to Shuzhou, but because the envoy from Wu Kingdom has already arrived in Kyoto!"

"This negotiation, according to the discussion I had with Wen Zhuyu before I left the capital, is out of the question!"

"The envoys of Wu will definitely return in anger!"

"This news will spread throughout the world!"

"Then after Wu's envoy returns to the country, the battle at Wuyaguan will probably begin."

"To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside... The Red Flame Army will fight to the death with Wu's army at Wuya Pass, and Ning's food, grass and military supplies must be sent to Wuya Pass now!"

"There must be absolutely no turmoil in the country!"

"That's why I urgently need to take down Jiangnan Dao and stabilize Jiangnan Dao... Jiangnan's money and food are the guarantee for the battle of Wuyaguan!"

"It's a good thing that Xiahou Zhuo sent his troops to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Get rid of this cancer in Fengxian County, and there may be minor troubles in Ningguo, but at least major troubles will not happen easily."

"For the negotiations in the capital, Xia Houzhuo must be wiped out before the news reaches Jiangnan, otherwise I am worried that someone will have another heart because of it."

Li Chenan sat at the table, picked up the teacup:

"Killing chickens to warn monkeys... Killing Xia Houzhuo will always make some people temporarily hide their dissatisfaction in their hearts."

"As for the future,"

Li Chenan took a sip of tea and grinned:
"The eldest son of the emperor returns to the throne and becomes the emperor, that is what he needs to deal with."

"Me...I have to take Ruoshui to Wu country."

An Zizai was startled: "If Ning Guo and Wu Guo really go to war, how dare you go to Wu Guo?"

"Isn't this self-destruction?"

Li Chenan shrugged, "You forgot, I'm actually a poet."

"Poetry fairy!"

"If the Wu mission fails to negotiate, do you think the Wu people will treat you as a poet?!"
