Chapter 193: Threatening the Royal City

Li Renyi looked at the huge wooden frame in the barracks, his face was gloomy, and he followed Li Fengxiao all the way into the Chinese military tent.

A wine feast had already been set up in the tent, and several of the main generals in the army were lined up on both sides to greet each other.

Li Renyi looked at the wine feast, then looked at the generals on both sides, and said to Li Fengxiao: "The saint is in Shenglong Mansion, he doesn't know the taste of food, and he can't sleep at night. As courtiers, we should share our worries for the sake of the saints, how can we still set up a wine feast in the army! General Li, let's get down to business! ”

The two of them are both literate and martial, and they are Li Foma's right-hand men, but these two arms are not as cooperative as the two arms on the human body, and it is inevitable to fight for power and deceit each other.

The last time he was here, it was Li Renyi's righteous son Li Mingxin, who attacked Chen Changji, the general under Li Fengxiao, and in the end Chen Changji was forced to be helpless and launched an attack, and finally the whole army was destroyed.

Li Fengxiao has always been haunted by this last incident, and seeing that Li Renyi wanted to repeat his old plan today, he sneered, ordered his subordinates to withdraw the wine feast, and said to Li Renyi: "What do you think about the big official?" ”

"Don't dare to be a teacher, General Li, let's sit down and talk."

Li Fengxiao seemed to have forgotten that he had only been reminded now, and after listening to Li Renyi's words, he ordered his soldiers to serve tea and give Li Renyi a seat.

The guest and host sat down, and Li Renyi arched his hand: "Today I came here on the order of the Holy Lord, and what I said is for state affairs, if there is any offense, the general forgive me!" ”

Li Fengxiao's face was gloomy: "You are the person next to the saint, isn't what you do is to flatter the saint and speak for the saint, is it possible that you are still here to lead the troops to fight on my behalf today?" ”

Li Renyi's face twitched, and he said with a smile: "Although the general's words are vulgar. But it's also true. I have come to speak on behalf of the saints. ”

"I'm a rough guy. In addition to being able to fight, he can only speak foul language. ”

Although Li Renyi is a eunuch, he is a meritorious and knighted minister of literature, but Li Fengxiao only regards him as a lucky person by the emperor's side, and Li Renyi secretly hates it in his heart.

Bowing his head and taking a sip of tea, to cover up this embarrassing scene, Li Renyi said: "It has been many days since the general arrived at the front line in Langzhou. I wonder how the war is going now? ”

Seeing Li Fengxiao's eyes wide and about to have a seizure, Li Renyi added unhurriedly: "I asked the general on behalf of the saint, and the general must tell the truth." ”

Li Fengxiao endured his anger and said in a muffled voice: "A few days ago, I went into the valley to attack once, only to find that the Song army in the valley had arranged 10,000 or 20,000 people to defend, and there were many stone artillery crossbow arrows, and there were no siege equipment, so it was difficult to perform!" ”

Li Renyi smiled pitifully: "I remember the last time in front of the Holy Lord, General Li swore that the Song army would never have many strong crossbows. What to say this time? ”

"What can you say? What if I'm lonely and unheard? The commander of the Song army on the other side was extremely cunning, although I don't know where he got so many crossbowmen. But it is true that there are four or five thousand strong crossbows in the valley! ”

Seeing Li Fengxiao's face flushed, Li Renyi couldn't feel happy in his heart, and sneered: "It turns out that my unsuccessful righteous son didn't lie, but he was cut off twice and fined for one year!" ”

"He managed to escape with his life, and more than 10,000 of my subordinates from the main general Chen Changji to the bottom died in battle, where can I reason? If it weren't for the greed for life and fear of deathβ€”"

"General Li, if there is no evidence, don't suspect the minister indiscriminately!"

Li Renyi had a straight face and looked at Li Fengxiao coldly. He himself didn't expect that the reason for his righteous son Li Mingxin's nonsense was really right, and he unconsciously gained the upper hand in his words.

Seeing that Li Fengxiao didn't speak angrily, Li Renyi softened his tone and said, "So what did General Li do after the last attack was frustrated?" You won't be waiting here forever, will you? ”

"Don't you see? The goose cart and the well outside are all made these days, and when they are ready, I will naturally continue to attack! ”

"When will we be ready? It's almost late March now, and when it rains continuously, the army can't stay outside! ”

Seeing that Li Fengxiao was silent, Li Renyi sneered: "The general must not be careful, use this excuse to delay until then, and retreat to Shenglong Mansion peacefully, and the Holy Lord will not be able to explain!" ”

Li Fengxiao snorted coldly: "With the heart of a villain, spend the belly of a gentleman!" I am a dignified general, and I only think about how to attack the city and plunder the land, unlike people like you, who think about these ideas that can't be put on the table every day! ”

"You want to wait, but you can't wait!"

Hearing Li Renyi's words, Li Fengxiao raised his head suddenly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Renyi had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "These days, don't you know what happened behind your army? How do you be the handsome man on your side! ”

"It's to say that the cavalry of the Song army who are harassing behind the army, the enemy of ringworm and scabies, don't worry! I have commanded the ministries to seal their paths and send men to find out their whereabouts. As soon as there is news, I will send troops and intercept them! ”

"When? Why did you ask General Li that you already had the arrangement, but you didn't know when to start and when you would be able to achieve results, so you asked me to go back and report to the saints? ”

Li Renyi stood up and said sharply: "Four days ago, the cavalry of the Song army suddenly swept across the north bank of the Fuliang River, broke three cities overnight, killed and injured a number of officials, and plundered countless property. The entire Thang Long Mansion shook up and down, the rich and noble began to flee with their belongings, and the saint was restless in the palace, so you told me that you arranged your eyeliner, and now you don't know where the Song cavalry is? ”

Li Fengxiao's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

The Song army dispatched 2,000 cavalry to harass the rear of the Jiaozhi army, and due to the covert support of local officials, the Jiaozhi people have not been able to find out their whereabouts. There are conditions for riding on foot, and it is best to choose a place where the cavalry must attack, and wait for the battle, then the cavalry will not take any advantage. But now Gao Daquan's cavalry troops are fluctuating in the rear of the Jiaozhi Army, and Li Fengxiao actually has no good way. If he has enough troops, he can also send his army to hold on to various key points and slowly trap the cavalry to death. But now there are only 5,000 elite soldiers in the rear to guard the royal city, and he is overstretched to attack Langzhou here, where can he divide his troops.

Since Gao Daquan harassed the rear, the supply of food and grass for the Jiaozhi army on the front line in Langzhou was already insufficient, and Li Fengxiao was just gritting his teeth and insisting. If he wants to say that he is in a hurry, he is more anxious than the princes and ministers of Shenglong Mansion to eliminate Gao Daquan.

But now that Gao Daquan is bold enough to attack the banks of the Fuliang River, directly threatening Thang Long Mansion, Li Fengxiao has to deal with it first. If it was a mistake and the Song army in the rear attacked Shenglong Mansion, the joke would be too big, and Li Fengxiao couldn't afford the consequences.
