A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

Luo Yunhui jumped up!

The dignified military governor of Yiwu Army, head of the civil officials!

At this moment, they completely disregarded propriety and etiquette.

They actually ripped it off!

They managed to snatch the official documents from Li Yin, the governor of Yizhou!

Luo Yunhui stared wide-eyed as he quickly read the contents of the official document.

The others crowded together, trying to see what was written in the document.

Why did Li Rui lead troops to attack Weizhou?!

To know.

The Yiwu Army governed two prefectures: Yizhou and Dingzhou.

With the loss of Yanyun, the entire northeastern part of the Yiwu Army was exposed to the Khitans' view.

Furthermore, the northeastern part of the country is a plain with no natural defenses.

Therefore, the vast majority of the Righteous Army's forces were stationed in the Northeast.

compare to.

The northwest of the Righteous Army lies the land of Weizhou.

It is separated from Yizhou and Dingzhou by the vast Taihang Mountains.

It was difficult for the army to move forward, for supplies to be transported, and for cavalry to travel.

Therefore, the Khitans would basically not attack from Weizhou.

There was no need for the Righteous Army to build up its forces in the northwest.

But now?

The governor of Yizhou said, "Li Rui actually attacked Weizhou!"

If we win, that's good.

What if we lose?

Will the Weizhou army retaliate?

Will the Khitans take this opportunity to launch an attack from Feihu Pass?

If that's the case, it'll be a disaster!

That place is undefended!

Once the other side enters Yizhou territory, the resulting disaster will be immeasurable!

Everyone understands this principle.

After reading the official document from the Prefect of Yizhou, Luo Yunhui was furious.

"Li Rui is absolutely ridiculous!!"

The governor of Yizhou wrote it very clearly on the official document.

Some people saw the Restoration Army marching north along the foot of the Taihang Mountains.

Moreover, the sound of war drums could be heard for several days from the direction of Feihu Pass.

That's obvious.

It is definitely Li Rui who is attacking Feihu Pass and attacking Weizhou!

The governor of Yizhou was also greatly surprised and quickly wrote an official document to Li Yin.

May I inquire whether this is an order from the imperial court or a strategy of the military governor?

The others also finished reading the document.

A wave of anger and lingering fear washed over me.

This constitutes unauthorized troop deployment and cross-border challenge.

If this isn't lawlessness, then what is it?!

What if we lose?

This led to the Weizhou army or the Khitans taking advantage of their victory and launching a counterattack, advancing out of Feihu Pass.

What should we do then?!

How could troops be transferred back from the northeast in time?

Luo Yunhui and his entourage of civil and military officials all launched into a tirade of curses!

We strongly condemn Li Rui's actions!

At this moment.

Even Niu Ben couldn't defend Li Rui.

He trusted Li Rui and believed he wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of.

Since they attacked Feihu Pass, they must have had some plan in mind.

But this really defies common sense.

Even if Niu Ben wanted to argue, he wouldn't be able to come up with anything good for the time being.

As Li Zhiyan watched Luo Yunhui continue to curse, she gradually realized that Li Rui's behavior was very inappropriate.

She frowned slightly and pursed her red lips.

My impression of Li Rui plummeted several points immediately!

I had previously heard of Li Rui's achievements on the battlefield, and I had also heard about the poems he wrote in Bianliang.

Li Zhiyan was very surprised.

It turns out that my father has such talented people in both literature and martial arts under his command.

A few days ago, it happened.

After witnessing the peaceful and prosperous lives of the people and the joyful scenes of children playing in the fields in Boling County.

Li Zhiyan immediately felt...

Li Rui is simply the perfect husband candidate!

Her feelings changed from surprise to admiration.

But who could have imagined it?

Only a few days have passed, and Li Rui has already caused such a huge disaster!

This caused Uncle Luo to start cursing.

Li Zhiyan bit her lip and glanced at her father's face.

as predicted.

Even Li Rui's father, who usually praised him highly, had a gloomy expression at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyan shook her head repeatedly in her heart.

It seems that Li Rui is not as perfect as imagined.

At this time.

After cursing for a while, Luo Yunhui quickly reminded him.

"General, we must immediately deploy troops to reinforce the defenses of Feihu Pass!"

Li Yin nodded emphatically.

Luo Yunhui quickly added.

"Send out spies to gather intelligence on the situation in Weizhou. At the same time, find Li Rui and order him to immediately lead his troops back!"

Li Yin nodded again.

"This matter is entrusted to you; get on with it!"

"Here you go!"

Seeing this, Niu Ben was also worried about Li Rui's safety.

He had originally planned to take on the task of gathering information himself.

As a result, Li Yin glanced at him first.

"You shall immediately return to Anxi and summon six thousand cavalry and infantry from the left flank."

Niu Ben's expression was serious, and he was about to announce his arrival.

Sudden.

Zhao Pu bowed and said.

"General, there's no need to make a fuss, everything will be fine."

Upon hearing this...

Luo Yunhui pointed at him and said angrily.

"Stop speaking up for Li Rui! This is a matter of national importance; if it turns into a disaster, the entire Yizhou will be in danger of collapse!"

You're just a lowly county magistrate; you have no right to interfere in this matter! Besides, you were personally promoted by Li Rui; you should recuse yourself from any potential conflicts of interest!

He was reprimanded in this way by the chief secretary of the regional military governor.

An ordinary, lowly county magistrate would probably be sweating profusely and kowtowing in apology by now.

But Zhao Pu remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Chief Secretary Luo, what you are worried about is nothing more than the possibility that if my general is defeated, the Weizhou army will take advantage of the victory and bring war to Yizhou."

Luo Yunhui said angrily.

"What do you mean by 'just'? Yizhou has suffered from war, so it is necessary to mobilize troops for defense, robbing Peter to pay Paul."

If the Khitans seize the opportunity to attack from the east, launching a pincer attack on Weizhou, then not only Yizhou, but Dingzhou will also fall!

Luo Yunhui was aggressive.

Zhao Pu smiled instead.

"Chief Secretary Luo is mistaken. All your views are based on the premise that my general has been defeated."

Luo Yunhui immediately sneered.

"Oh? You don't actually think Li Rui will win?"

Zhao Pu raised his head without saying a word, but his confident demeanor said it all.

Seeing this, Luo Yunhui was so angry he laughed!

"You really believe Li Rui can win? What makes him think he can win?"

Feihu Pass is a natural fortress, and the defending troops are each worth a hundred men.

Moreover, there are several thousand Weizhou troops supporting them. How could they possibly take it without tens of thousands of men?

As he spoke, Luo Yunhui became even more excited.

He patted the table, then pointed to the drill ground outside.

"County Magistrate Zhao, have you forgotten where we are?"

This is the recruit camp! New recruits!! Recruits whom Li Rui has only trained for less than three months!

Having said all that, Luo Yunhui had nothing more to say.

absurd!

This is absurd!

He led new recruits, who had been trained for less than three months, to attack Weizhou, a strategically important and naturally fortified city.

Only a madman would do something like that!

Luo Yunhui took a deep breath and stopped arguing with Zhao Pu.

He said in a deep voice.

"General, please send men to investigate immediately and mobilize troops for defense. If we are even a step too late, the situation may become dire."

After listening for a long time, how could Li Yin not know the seriousness of the matter?

Even though he greatly admired Li Rui.

At this moment, I also felt that Li Rui was a bit arrogant!

"Let's do as we just said!"

Zhao Pu opened his mouth, but stopped himself from continuing to try to stop them.

He understood that as a mere county magistrate, he really didn't have much say.

However, the Righteous Army has mobilized such a large force.

If the Khitans in the northeast find out, will it cause a chain reaction?

Zhao Pu shook his head, not knowing.

But we must be vigilant.

After leaving the military camp, he immediately sent someone to Boling County.

"Inform the mistress and ask her to prepare the carriages and vehicles in advance, in case of any unforeseen circumstances."
