Chapter 804

This invasion of the Rong people is a major event of the destruction of the country and the species. The Li family's big house has come to the verge of collapse, and it will hardly take much effort for the high-rise building to collapse into ruins.

Therefore, the princes of the empire were worried and panicked.

But to be honest, Cheng Dalei didn't have much pressure. Because of all the things the empire had done to him, he had long lost confidence in the imperial court. Guards, what are guards? Is it guarding the glory of the empire that has been heard of but never touched, or guarding the fine clothes and food of those wealthy nobles?

In Cheng Dalei's opinion, no matter who is sitting on that chair, it is actually not too much. He can still be his free king of Liangzhou, but he can't do it, just find a mountain to be the king of the mountain, and no one can help him.

Therefore, Cheng Dalei was able to take a good time, take advantage of the opportunity, and try to seize greater benefits in this great change.

And now sitting on that chair, Li Letian does not have such good luck.

This time, the Rong people invaded on a large scale, not going to Liangzhou, not going to the secluded annex, and 200,000 iron horsemen poured into Jingzhou, which was clearly aimed at him, the emperor of the empire.

Ten cities in Jingzhou: Chang'an, Hanoi, Hexi, Dongshan, Chencang, Runan, Pingye, Qingqiu, Quangling, Yingchuan.

Among them, Hanoi, Haxi, Dong Son and Tran Cang are connected into a line and are the northeast barriers, Pingye, Runan and Quang Ling are the southwest barriers, and Thanh Chiu and Yingchuan are the southeast barriers.

This time, the Rong tribe came to kill, and in a few days, they conquered the three cities of Hanoi, Hexi, and Dongshan. The barrier in the north of Chang'an, there is only one city in Chencang.

If the east mountain is lost, there will be no danger in the north. Chang'an, the first city of the empire, will face the iron cavalry of the Rong people.

There are strong enemies outside, and the empire is by no means in danger together. Li Letian called on the princes of the world to be king, but there have been no reinforcements until now, and it is estimated that there will be no reinforcements. And those wealthy nobles near Jingzhou...... According to the information found by Li Letian, someone has secretly contacted the Rong clan to discuss what they are offering now, so what to get in exchange for after Chang'an is captured.

Li Letian is facing such a situation, so tricky that people want to destroy everything. In that sentence: Li Letian is not a hero of destiny who can turn the tide, but the pig teammates around him are more tricky than the enemy.

Of course, it's not without good news.

Ma Chao and Chen Meng led the army out of the city, beheaded a member of the Rong general, and killed hundreds of Rong warriors.

This is already a rare victory, which has greatly boosted the morale of the emperor, and the young man in the army remembered the glory of Li Letian who was alone in Chang'an City, and was willing to unite around him to win this bloody battle.

But Li Letian understands what price the emperor has paid for this so-called victory. Of the 5,000 elite cavalry, only more than 1,000 returned to Chang'an City alive.

In the imperial study, Luo Yi, Luo Cheng, Ma Chao, and Chen Meng gathered here to discuss and analyze the current battle situation.

A map of Jingzhou was spread out on the table, marking the movements of the Rong people.

Li Letian shook his head: "Chen Cang must not be lost again, otherwise Chang'an will be completely exposed to the iron cavalry of the Rong clan, and Chen Cang must be guarded." I intend to order General Luo to lead 10,000 horses to support Chen Cang and hold the barrier of Chang'an. ”

The map is marked with cinnabar for the Rong people, and the northeast is already red with blood, and if the blood is shed, it will soak the entire land.

This time the situation has reached a critical juncture, and there is no one around Li Letian to use, so he chooses talents regardless of his background, but if he has some talents, he will be entrusted with important positions. Ma Chao, Chen Meng, and Luo Yi's father and son were all promoted this time, and they were just born shortly after they were born, and they could enter the imperial study to discuss this major event that affected the fate of the empire.

Luo Yi stared at the map in front of him and said slowly: "Your Majesty, if the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"Speak?" Li Letian waved his hand directly: "It's all at this time, you don't have to stick to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, it doesn't hurt to say anything directly." ”

Only then did Luo Yi speak boldly: "Your Majesty, please see, the Rong clan took a few days to conquer the three cities of Hanoi, Hexi, and Dongshan, among which the richest Dongshan was slaughtered. They took down these three cities with little effort. But they just let go of Chen Cangcheng, and the stalemate has been half a moon. The minister has reason to suspect ......"

"Chen Cangcheng is bait?" Li Letian's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something.

Luo Yi nodded emphatically.

Li Letian does not need to be arrogant, and the Rong clan is not absolutely invincible. Chang'an City is the first city of the empire, the city is towering, and there are many soldiers. Li Letian personally guarded Chang'an City and knew how strong Chang'an City's city defense was. It was not without reason that the Righteous Sect could not attack for a long time.

The Rong people obviously understood this, so they used Chencang City as a bait to lure reinforcements out of the city and ambush them halfway to eliminate Chang'an's city defense forces.

Standard encirclement reinforcements.

A chill surged in Li Letian's heart, he had never known that the Rong clan was fighting against the strong head-on, when did they also know how to conspire?

This time, the Rong clan called, and it was really different from every previous time.

"What does General Luo think we should do, do we want to give up Chen Cangcheng?"

Ci does not lead soldiers, and righteousness does not do Jia. Up to now, Li Letian's heart has been trained to be as hard as a stone, and abandoning Chen Cangcheng's 100,000 living beings casually is nothing to him. It's just a pity......

"Give up Chencang City, Chang'an will have to face the Rong people, and now, we don't have much chance of winning. Luo Yi said: "If Your Majesty is willing to take risks, we might as well use reinforcements as bait to fight the ambush soldiers of the Rong clan." ”

Li Letian pondered for a moment and nodded emphatically: "Who, leading the troops out of the city?"

I don't dare to say that there are all people who understand in this imperial study, but at least none of the five people are stupid. Everyone understands that leading an army out of the city as a bait is to send it to death.

At this point in the empire, those who are willing to stay and fight against the Rong people actually have the consciousness of dying. However, it is one thing to be prepared, and you really know how to send you to death...... Who is not afraid of death?

Chen Meng thought for a while, and took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to Chen Cangcheng and be the vanguard of this battle." ”

Li Letian shook his head: "Now is the time to employ people, you are not afraid of death, I am very happy, but now is not the time for you to die." ”

When Chen Meng heard this, he felt a little regretful, and he was indeed relieved.

"But this is a big deal...... If the minister doesn't go, who will go? ”

Li Letian waved his hand and interrupted him: "I already have a candidate in my heart. ”

When he said this, Li Letian remembered Bailisheng. Bailisheng fought all the way from Liangzhou, and he had the skill of following the dragon, but it was not some kind of coercion. Of the eight hundred dead soldiers, it was Bai Lisheng who was loyal, not Li Letian. Of course, Bailisheng is dead, and Li Letian doesn't have to worry about the matter of the master.

Now, the leader of the 800 dead soldiers is Lu Junyi, known as the unparalleled guns.

Li Letian felt that there was no better suitability for this mission than him.
