Chapter 475

Where Cheng Dalei's finger fell, three ink characters appeared: Drinking Horse Slope.

The terrain of Bingzhou is mostly composed of grasslands, and there is no border in sight, so it is almost impossible to defend. The location of Yinmapo is a hundred miles north of Huangsha City, and consists of a scattered lake. In the past, herdsmen used to drink horses and rest their feet here, hence the name Drinking Horse Slope.

"The terrain of Yumapo is open, and the enemy's strength is ten times that of ours, so if there is a head-on conflict, I am afraid that we will not have any advantage. Liu Bei said the question in his heart.

"In terms of terrain, people don't take advantage of anything. Cheng Dalei said: "But on the open terrain, our firearms can exert their greatest power, which is why the decisive battle site was chosen in Yinmapo." ”

Liu Bei silently thought about Cheng Dalei's answer, and did not speak for the time being. Xu Shenji asked: "Will they pass through Yinmapo? If we come from other places to make a detour to attack the city, won't we prepare in vain in Yinmapo?" ”

"As it stands, the Imperial Army wants us to gather together and take us all out. And we don't think so, everyone is looking for an opportunity for a decisive battle. Cheng Dalei said firmly: "Give them a war letter, invite the princes of the world, and fight in Yinmapo to see if they have the courage." ”

After that, the people in the hall discussed this specific plan of action to see how to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Toad Army.

At the same time, Cheng Dalei sent people from the Xizi team to deliver a letter of war to the imperial army.

Cheng Dalei personally wrote it and generously stated in the war book, saying that you are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and the people are heinous. And I, Cheng Dalei, am the Holy Lord who descended from heaven, in the name of justice, with light as a weapon, to clean you dark dregs.

This letter of war was sent to the joint camp of the Imperial Army.

Because Cheng Dalei has been doing things on the grassland, the princes of the imperial army have quietly gathered together. Now the large camps of the princes from all walks of life are gathered together, and a joint camp is set up on the grassland. This was done in order to wipe out Cheng Dalei in one fell swoop, and secondly, to avoid that force from being wiped out by Cheng Dalei after being left alone.

After receiving Cheng Dalei's war letter, the imperial army immediately convened a military meeting, the main purpose of which was to discuss how to deal with Cheng Dalei's challenge.

Present at the meeting were Li Letian, Li Xingya, Li Xing and other imperial royal families, as well as Cui Xiang, Wei Chili and other important ministers of the imperial court, as well as princes from Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Liangzhou.

The war book written by Cheng Dalei was passed on by everyone and read it, and before the meeting began, everyone made a deep mockery of Cheng Dalei's writing and handwriting.

bluntly said that Cheng Dalei is really a reckless person who is not educated, his writing is rough and vulgar, and his handwriting is sloppy and ugly. Some people even said: Isn't there a single one in the toad army who can write, which caused everyone to laugh.

Li Letian coughed lightly, stopped everyone's laughter, and asked: "The enemy's war letter has been sent here, as for whether you want to fight or not, what do you think?"

There was silence, and after Li Letian's voice landed, everyone didn't speak for a while.

Whether everyone wants to admit it or not, Li Letian has gained a good reputation from this battle. Holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, the eldest son of Emperor Ming, he guarded Chang'an with a lone army...... In any case, Li Letian is the one who has the final say on this occasion.

Of course, some people still don't take him seriously in their hearts.

Seeing that he didn't answer Li Letian's words, Wei Chili cleared his throat and said: "Cheng thief is not eliminated, after all, it is a big trouble for the empire, he wants to fight a decisive battle here, we will fight with him, is it possible that I am a dignified imperial soldier, and I am afraid of a group of bandits." ”

"Ahem. ”

As soon as Wei Chili's voice landed, a familiar cough sounded. Wei Chili snorted coldly in his heart and scolded the old fox.

This cough naturally came from Cui Xiang, and he said with a smile: "This Cheng Da Lei is really a reckless, and the two armies are pitted against each other as a reckless fierce battle in the rivers and lakes, and a decisive battle. ”

"So with Cui Xiang's meaning, how should this matter be done, shouldn't we fight, watching Cheng Dalei show off his power in front of us. "Wei Chi left.

"Oh...... Hehe, this old man doesn't dare to make judgments, leading troops to fight is not my specialty, and I have to consult General Wei Chi on this matter. ”

Tell your mom......

Wei Chili let out a roar in his heart, since you don't understand, what are you doing with so much nonsense. It has nothing to do with you if something happens, you have to share the credit. Wei Chili and Cui Tongchao are officials, and they are each other's biggest political enemies, and Wei Chili knows Cui Xiang's style very well.

Now he was on fire in his heart, and he didn't want to speak, so he twisted his head to the side.

At this time, Yangzhou Mu Li Xing spoke: "That Cheng Da Lei is not an easy person, will he hide any tricks this time." ”

In the past few days, Cheng Dalei's team has made waves on the grassland, Li Xing's men and horses have been very deflated, and the Yangzhou soldiers have suffered heavy casualties.

"I've already investigated, the people of Huangsha City are indeed moving towards Yinmapo, and the team they discharged has also been recovered, have you heard any news of defeat in the past two days?" Wei Chili said with a bad expression.

"In this way, does he really mean a decisive battle in Yinmapo?" Li Letian said: "Our men and horses are ten times larger than the enemy, and if we open up a battle in Yinmapo, we may not be able to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop." ”

"Ahem. ”

The annoying cough sounded again, and Wei Chili closed his eyes in a hurry, he just wanted today's meeting to end early.

"The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, even if Cheng Dalei mobilizes his troops, there may not be other conspiracies, so he still has to be careful. ”

Everyone, you say a word, some people want to fight to the death, some people have a lot of concerns, quarrel back and forth, and can't come up with a definite idea after all.

"Alright. ”

Li Letian suddenly spoke, his eyes scanning the crowd, and suppressing the unquiet voice.

"If the thieves want to fight, we will fight with them, and the imperial army is definitely not afraid of a few thieves. Li Letian said impassionedly: "We will send troops to punish the generals, hit all the troops, and defeat them at Yinmapo." ”

Li Letian took a deep breath: "The next thing to talk about is how to arrange the troops?"

In the big tent, the sound of discussion sounded again, and the gossip kept talking, and sometimes it took a long time to argue about a small detail.

In this process, Li Xingya didn't say a word from beginning to end, he squinted his eyes slightly, supported his chin with his hands, and looked like an old god at ease, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
