Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

In terms of commanding and running the army, Duan De may not be as good as Zhao Lie.

But Zhao Lie is definitely not as good as Duan Dede in terms of tactics.

There is absolutely no doubt about this.

When Zhao Lie heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately had a plan in his mind.

"It's just... the situation ahead is dangerous. If we wait for Yanhuang City's soldiers and horses to arrive, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold!" Zhao Lie frowned again.

This really gets to the point.

He must focus on the overall situation and cannot put Araki City and Dadi City into crisis because of his intrigues with Li Rui.

Duan Dede stroked his beard and said: "Now we have to see whether the remaining soldiers and horses at Manhuang Pass can contain Dong Aolai's army! Although Lu Zhendong died on the battlefield, there must be other generals at the border pass who survived! If the remaining soldiers and horses can stop Dong Aolai's army for a while In just half a moment, we can really plunder some soldiers and horses from Li Rui!"

Zhao Lie nodded slowly.

At this moment, Qilin hurriedly came to the pavilion holding a piece of cloth.

"Teacher...old general...a letter from the God of War's government!" Qilin held the letter in both hands and placed it on the table.

"The Palace of the God of War?? Isn't it the imperial court??" Duan Dede asked doubtfully.

Then he thought of something and suddenly realized, "Oh! I know! The court must have sent the letter to the God of War's Mansion, but you are not at home, so..."

Zhao Lie hurriedly took the cloth, opened it and placed it on the table.

"Old General Zhao... Huxiao Pass was lost, Lu Zhendong died, and Chu soldiers and horses entered our territory of Dayan... Now the country is in crisis and the situation is dangerous. I cannot bear to separate the country. I beg the old general to take command and go out to fight for me again. The Yan Empire resists the Chu army! There are still 50 troops at Yanzhao Pass. I order you to lead 30 to kill Dong Aolai for me and take back Huxiao Pass! If the army wins this time, I canonize you as a king with a different surname!"

There is a jade seal on the back to seal it.

"Alas! It seems... you've got everything right!" Zhao Lie looked at the information on the cloth and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"What are you waiting for? The first officer wrote back to him saying that the situation in the west is dangerous and we cannot easily dispatch troops!"

Duan Dede said without hesitation: "If you are really afraid of the tense battle ahead, you can order Wei Xiong and Guo Xiaoqi to lead 10 troops and horses over there first!"

After some thought, Zhao Lie said with a deep expression: "I will first order Guo Xiaoqi to lead 10 soldiers and horses to Huangmu City to prevent the fall of Huangmu City! Then I will ask the court to send troops and horses to support! Is that good?"

"Okay! Just do it!" Duan Dede agreed.

present.

Qilin brought a blank piece of cloth and spread it on the table. He also brought a brush and inkstone.

Zhao Lie picked up the pen and wrote a paragraph on it.

"The situation at Yanzhao Pass is dangerous. It is not advisable to deploy too many troops and horses to avoid the sudden attack of Zhao's troops! But thinking of the tense battle at Huxiao Pass, the veteran general ordered Wei Xiong, the general in charge, to lead 10 troops and horses to go ahead to fight! It’s just that these 10 soldiers and horses are like a mantis using its arm as a chariot. They can only serve as a containment and cannot be used as the main force! I hope the court can dispatch another [-] soldiers and horses to provide support quickly so as not to delay the war! Signature - Zhao Lie!"

The brush fell and Zhao Lie turned his attention to Duan Dede.

Duan Dede nodded and said: "Okay! Very good! Just come here! Let's see what Li Ruidang does! Didn't he recruit 30 new troops? Let's ask for [-] first!"

After the letter was written, Qilin put it away, and the flying pigeon passed the letter to the court.

that night.

Fei Ge delivered the letter to Li Rui.

After Li Rui received the letter, his face suddenly showed great anger.

He immediately summoned many of his confidants to mobilize troops at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Zhao Lie bullies me! Zhao Lie bullies me! Every time he sends troops, he uses the dangerous situation in the west as an excuse to refuse to send troops! This time it is even more true! What do you think I should do?"

Li Rui asked everyone angrily.

Tian Chong, the Minister of Household Affairs, frowned and said: "Perhaps the old general is right, the Zhao State is really ready to make a move! After all, Chang Shanhe, the great general of the Zhao State, died at the hands of Zhao Lie! They will definitely avenge such a big revenge! But Yanzhao Pass With 20 troops and horses, only 10 need to be left behind to resist Zhao’s million-strong army. To take away [-] troops and deploy additional troops from the imperial court is clearly for ulterior motives!”

"Not bad!"

Meng Zhang, the Minister of Household Affairs, said: "Everyone knows Zhao Lie's intention! He clearly wants to transfer the newly recruited troops from Emperor Yan's barracks to buy time for the rebels in Gangjin City to develop!"

"Alas! It's a pity that I don't have any other generals in charge of the army, so I have to be led by Zhao Lie's nose everywhere!" Li Rui had already seen what Zhao Lie's real purpose was.

After all, Zhao Lieming agreed with them on the surface, but in fact he still favored his precious granddaughter-Zhao Wanying.

Li Rui saw this clearly, but was helpless.

Since Yan Beidu, Luo Zhengfeng, Sun Mie, and Lu Zhendong died one after another, the Yan State has fewer and fewer generals who can take charge of the army alone.

This is undoubtedly his shortcoming.

Even though he knew he was being led around, he still had to watch eagerly.

This taste left Li Rui with a lump in his throat and unbearable pain.

"What should we do now? Do you have a solution?" Li Rui asked with a gloomy look.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, no one has a good solution.

"Prime Minister... the Chu State's military danger is far greater than that of the rebel Yan Yun! I feel that if necessary, we should send out newly recruited troops and follow the arrangements of the old general!" Tian Chong said, holding his fists.

"Alas! I'm afraid if this continues, Yan Yun will only become stronger and stronger!" Cheng Bo sighed, helpless.

"General Cheng, there is no need to worry! When my army defeats the retreating troops, it won't be too late to deal with Yan Yun!" Li Rui's younger brother Li Zhi said suddenly.

"Oh? Do you have any good ideas?" Li Rui's eyes lit up and he turned his attention to his brother.

Li Zhi cleared his throat and said seriously: "Isn't Zhao Lie just eyeing our newly recruited soldiers and horses! We can cooperate with him and hand over all the soldiers and horses in the barracks to his command! After the Chu army is defeated, in the name of the imperial court, , take back Zhao Lie’s military power! Then send General Cheng Bo to the border to receive the tiger talisman, and then lead his troops to attack Gangjin City overnight! In this way, the Chu army successfully resisted, and Yanyun’s troubles were relieved!"

"good idea!"

Tian Chong praised: "Huxiao Pass and Gangjin City are only separated by one city. After General Cheng took over the army, he could lead his army to bypass Wotu City overnight and attack Gangjin City! While Gangjin City was unprepared, he attacked Gangjin City overnight. Take Gangjin City, so you can avoid alerting the enemy!"

"This is a great strategy! Just do it like this!" Li Rui was overjoyed.

"Prime Minister..."

Cheng Bo swallowed his saliva and said: "What if...what if, I go to the border and reach out for the tiger talisman, and Zhao Lie refuses to give it to me? You know, during the war in the west, Zhao Lie already had 10 soldiers and horses. Command power! Coupled with the command power of these 30 soldiers and horses, it is equivalent to having a heavy army! If he joins forces with Yan Yun, I am afraid that the situation in our court will be in danger in an instant!"
