Unparalleled Concubine

This sentence is not a lie, but Li Xin's long-planned retreat. If the Southwest Army can't take the capital, there is little hope for the next time. It's better to throw the stalls in the southwest to people like Muying, and hide in the mountains by yourself and don't care about world affairs.

With the current military power in the Southwest, as long as the people in power are not particularly stupid, there is no problem in forming a self-contained country for decades. It is not a big problem for their family to live their lives in peace.

Mu Ying's face changed slightly, she bowed her head to Li Xin and said, "General, no matter what, the last general will definitely do his best to capture the capital for the general!"

"If not, after returning to the southwest, the general will be the emperor of the southwest..."

General Mu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Except for you, the Southwest will definitely be torn apart..."

Chapter 1069

Li Shuo moved quickly.

In order not to let the Hanzhou army and the Mu family gossip, after receiving Li Xin's order, he quickly led his troops out of Luzhou and moved towards the capital.

However, although his movements were fast, the advancing process was not fast, because Li Shuo knew very well in his heart that even if the support of the Xiang Army from various places was not mentioned, the strength of the imperial court at this time was still far superior to the Southwest Army. Abandoning the city without defending it, going out of the city and colliding head-on with the Southwest Army, the tens of thousands of people Li Shuo brought may not be able to resist for a long time before being swallowed up by the Forbidden Army.

Therefore, while he was advancing, he had to pay attention to the movement of the capital in real time. Once the forbidden army from the capital city came around, the Southwest Army had to turn from offensive to defensive, and use the thunder to defend the position to block the attack of the forbidden army, and then make plans.

Fortunately, the intention of the imperial court was very conservative. Li Shuo pushed forward for forty or fifty li without encountering any resistance from the imperial guards in Gyeonggi. At this time, it was getting dark, so Li Shuo did not rush forward and ordered his soldiers to set up camp. .

Because it was very close to the capital, Li Shuo's Ningzhou army maintained a reasonable degree of caution. After setting up camp, there were people patrolling within ten miles.

In the middle of the moon, Li Shuo, the chief general of the Ningzhou army, did not sleep peacefully. He stood on a high place with a telescope in his hand, and kept watching towards the capital.

It's midnight.

Li Shuo looked a little nervous, but still looked towards the capital from time to time.

In this era, the army is very particular about camping. The terrain and terrain are very important. For example, it is necessary to be close to the water source to prevent enemy fire attack, but it cannot camp downstream to prevent water attack. At the same time, it cannot camp in a place surrounded by three sides to prevent being attacked by the enemy. Tie pockets.

Even for the finer ones, the location of the toilets is very particular. It depends on the wind direction. Choose the downwind outlet, otherwise the stench will blow all over the camp, which will seriously affect the combat effectiveness.

Then there is the density of the tents, the formation of mutual support, etc. These are compulsory courses for generals, and Li Shuo is naturally very proficient, but this time they have tens of thousands of tents, and the address is very well chosen. 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 hills, staring intently at the direction of the capital.

In the middle of the night, there was finally movement from afar.

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

Li Shuo took a deep breath and said, "About how many people are there?"

The lieutenant whispered: "I can't see clearly yet, but there are at least 2 people, most of whom are from the raiding camp."

"Only 2 people..."

Li Shuo shook his head in disappointment, and said, "Understood, keep watching and report back at any time."

It is too close to the capital, and even closer to the Zuoying camp of the Forbidden Army. It is only thirty or forty miles away. That is to say, as long as the enemy comes, they can arrive in half a night.

Facing the Southwest Army's attack, although the imperial court held a conservative attitude, after all, the overall force was superior, and the capital would not be defended from the beginning to the end. No matter what, they had to send people out to try the Southwest Army's strength.

More importantly, Li Xin has an eyeliner in the capital, and it is impossible for the imperial court to have eyes and ears in the Southwest Army. That is to say, the Southwest Army must have known about the news that the Southwest Army changed generals from Mu Ying to Li Shuo. .

Therefore, Li Shuo and Li Xin had the courage to discuss a plan to do everything they could.

Under the darkness of night, Li Shuo put down the binoculars in his hand, and muttered to himself: "The Southwest Army changed generals just before the battle, and replaced them with Li Chang'an's brother. The location is very bad, and I brought a whole [-] Southwest Army out of the city..."

"The Southwest Army only has a total of more than 5 people. As long as these [-] people are destroyed, the Southwest Army will no longer have any threats..."

"With so many temptations in front of you, you actually only sent 2 people out of the city..."

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

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

At this time, in his command tent, more than a dozen generals of the Ningzhou Army had already assembled.

Most of these generals of the Ningzhou Army came from the Pingnan Army back then, and many of them were under the command of Li Shen and Li Yan. They had rich experience. Of course, not all of them were from the Pingnan Army. He was promoted from the Ningzhou Army.

After these people saw Li Shuo, they immediately clasped their fists in a low voice, "The last general, I have seen the general!"

"The army of the imperial court is already on the way. In about half an hour or an hour, they will arrive at our camp. There are not many of them, but there are not many. How are you preparing for it?"

Because there are many eyes and ears of the imperial court in the Southwest Army, Li Shuo's actions this time are very secretive. He only notified a dozen or so trustworthy people in the Ningzhou Army. Said: "The last general is waiting, I have prepared according to the general's order."

Li Shuo nodded slowly.

"Then let's go to work. Although there are not many people here, 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 our tongues behind us. Said we were useless."

Having said that, Li Shuo narrowed his eyes, and murderous aura burst out in his eyes.

"No matter how many people come to the court tonight, we must let them come and go!"

"The last general is waiting, obey the order!"

…………

In the darkness, a tall, black-faced man was slowly approaching the Southwest Army camp with a group of troops.

This man was about eight or nine feet tall. Not only was he tall, but he also had a thick voice.

"Has the scout detection been cleared?"

A soldier at the bottom bowed his head and said: "General Huihou, we have already found out that the leader of this Southwest Army is that brother Li Shuo, who served as General of Ningzhou in the Southwest. The record is estimated to be..."

It is estimated that it is due to the brother relationship with Li Xin that it is possible to sit in this position today.

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

The big man nodded, and said: "I watched his camp from a distance during the day, the formation was in disarray, and the terrain was completely wrong. It should be a pustule. This time, the imperial court entrusted me with the task of attacking the camp, the left camp of the imperial army. In any case, we must win a battle tonight."

The big man's voice was like thunder.

"Old General Zhong said that this battle is going to be fought beautifully. Firstly, it is to give an explanation to His Majesty, and secondly, it is to show the people in the capital and the ruling and opposition parties a look. The anti-thieves in the southwest are nothing to worry about!"

Having said that, the big man frowned slightly.

"The imperial court is too short of a victory. If it continues to lose, the capital will be in chaos."

After saying this, he turned his eyes to the direction of Luzhou, thought of his old friend, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Brother Li...the change of Renchen Palace is still before our eyes, how did we get to where we are today?"
