Li Shuo's movements were fast.

In order to prevent the Hanzhou army and the Mu family from gossiping, after receiving Li Xin's order, he quickly led his troops out of Luzhou and advanced towards the capital.

However, although his movements were fast, the process of advancing was not fast, because Li Shuo knew very well in his heart that even if he put aside the Xiang troops that were being supported in various places, the strength of the imperial court at this time was still far superior to that of the Southwest Army, and if the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army abandoned the city and did not defend it, and went out of the city to collide with the Southwest Army head-on, the tens of thousands of people brought by Li Shuo may not be able to resist for long, and they will be swallowed up by the forbidden army.

Therefore, while advancing, he had to pay attention to the movements of the capital in real time, and once the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army surrounded him, the Southwest Army must turn from offensive to defensive, and use the heavenly thunder to hold the position to block the attack of the forbidden army, and then make plans.

Fortunately, the intentions of the imperial court were very conservative, and Li Shuo had been advancing for forty or fifty miles, and did not encounter the resistance of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.

Because it was very close to the capital, Li Shuo's Ningzhou army maintained a degree of caution, and there were patrols within ten miles of the camp nearby.

In the middle of the moon, Li Shuo, who was the chief general of the Ningzhou Army, did not sleep peacefully, he held a telescope in his hand, stood on a high place, and kept looking at the capital.

It's time for the sub.

Li Shuo looked a little nervous, and still looked at the capital from time to time.

In this era, the army camped very carefully, the terrain and terrain were very important, for example, to be close to the water source to prevent the enemy from fire, but not to camp downstream to prevent water attack, and at the same time, not to camp in a place surrounded by three sides to prevent being pocketed by the enemy.

Even more elaborate, the location of the toilet is very particular, it depends on the direction of the wind, and it is selected at the downwind outlet, otherwise the stench will blow all over the camp, which will seriously affect the combat effectiveness.

Then there is the density between the camp tents, as well as the formation of mutual support, etc., these are compulsory courses for military generals, Li Shuo is naturally very proficient, but this time their camp tents of tens of thousands of people, the address is very rough, there are two small hills on the left and right, once the enemy attacks the camp, it is difficult to advance and retreat freely.

Li Shuo stood on one of the mountain bags and looked intently in the direction of the capital.

In the second half of the night, there was finally movement in the distance.

Although his telescope didn't see anything too obvious, the scouts who were investigating nearby had already noticed that something was wrong, and a captain of the scout battalion cautiously walked up to Li Shuo and said in a low voice: "General, someone is coming over there in the capital." ”

Li Shuo took a deep breath and said, "How many people are there?" ”

The captain said in a low voice: "It's still hard to see, but there are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people, most of whom are attacking the camp." ”

"Only 10,000 or 20,000 ......"

Li Shuo shook his head a little disappointed, and said, "Got it, you continue to stare and report at any time." ”

It is too close to the capital, and it is even closer to the main camp of the left camp of the forbidden army, only thirty or forty miles away, which means that as long as the enemy comes, it can be arrived in half a night.

In the face of the attack of the Southwest Army, although the imperial court side has a conservative attitude, after all, the overall strength is superior, and the capital will not defend from beginning to end.

More importantly, Li Xin has eyeliner in the capital, and it is impossible for the imperial court to have no eyes and ears in the southwest army, that is to say, the news that the southwest army is changing generals from Mu Ying to Li Shuo must be known by the imperial court.

Therefore, Li Shuo and Li Xin were bold and discussed a plan that would be planned.

Under the darkness of the night, Li Shuo put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and muttered to himself: "The Southwest Army changed generals in battle, replaced by Li Changan's brother, who is in his thirties, has not led many soldiers, the marching speed is extremely slow, the location of the camp is very bad, and he has brought a full 50,000 southwest troops out of the city......"

"The Southwest Army only has more than 100,000 people in total, as long as these 50,000 people are defeated, the Southwest Army will no longer have any threat......

"There are so many temptations before you, and you have only sent 20,000 people out of the city......

"Are you too timid, or are you looking down on me too much?"

Li Shuo muttered, slowly walked down the high slope, and entered his handsome tent.

At this time, among his commanders, more than a dozen generals of the Ningzhou Army had already assembled.

Most of these generals of the Ningzhou Army came from the army of that year, and many of them were fierce generals under Li Shen and Li Yan, with rich experience, of course, not all of them came from the army, and there were many young generals who were promoted by Li Shuo in the Ningzhou Army.

When these people saw Li Shuo, they immediately clenched their fists in a deep voice: "The last general, I have seen the general!" ”

"The army of the imperial court is already on the way, and it will take about half an hour or an hour to get to my military camp, there are not many of these people, but there are also a lot of them, how are you doing to prepare?"

Because there are many eyes and ears of the imperial court in the southwest army, Li Shuo's actions this time are very secretive, and he only notified a dozen absolutely credible people in the Ningzhou army, and after these people heard Li Shuo's words, they immediately bowed their heads and said in a deep voice: "The last general, etc., have been prepared according to the general's orders." ”

Li Shuo nodded slowly.

"Then let's go down and do something, although there are not many people, but it's better than nothing, this battle must be fought beautifully, otherwise even if the general doesn't say anything, the Hanzhong army will chew his tongue behind us and say that we are useless."

Speaking of this, Li Shuo narrowed his eyes, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes.

"No matter how many people come to the court tonight, they must be allowed to come and go!"

"Wait, obey!"

…………

In the night, a tall black-faced man was slowly approaching the southwest military camp tent with a team of men and horses.

This man is about ** feet tall, not only tall, but also has a thick voice.

"Is the scout cleared?"

A soldier at the bottom bowed his head and said: "General Huihou, it has been investigated, this southwest army is led by that brother Li Shuo, who served as a general in Ningzhou in the southwest, I haven't heard of any achievements in him over the years, it is estimated that it is ......"

It is estimated that it was because of his brotherly relationship with Li Xin that he sat in today's position.

This sentence is not finished, but anyone can hear the second half of the sentence.

Dahan nodded and said: "During the day, I watched his camp tent from a distance, the formation was scattered, and the location was not right, it should be a pus, this time the imperial court handed over the errand of attacking the camp to the left battalion of my forbidden army, no matter what, we must win a battle tonight." ”

The big man's voice was like thunder.

"The old general said that this battle will be fought beautifully, firstly, to give an explanation to His Majesty, and secondly, to call the people of the capital and the government and the opposition to see, the southwest is anti-thief, there is no need to worry!"

Speaking of this, the big man frowned slightly.

"The imperial court is too short of a victory, and if it is defeated, the capital will be completely chaotic."

After saying this, he looked in the direction of Luzhou, thought of the old man in the past, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Brother Li...... Back then, Renchen Palace was still in front of me, how could it get to this point? ”
