Yang Guang peeked at my diary and lay down like an emperor through the ages

Chapter 263 Liu Hongji fell into the trap and rashly sent troops
At this time, Liu Hongji was guarding Xihe County.

This is the last line of defense in Xihe County.

And Liu Hongji did receive the news immediately.

At this time, he kept pacing back and forth in the government office in the city.

There are five thousand troops in the county.

Liu Hongji, on the other hand, brought ten thousand troops.

The entire county has only fifteen thousand troops.

This small amount of troops is not much.

But defensively, it can still be supported.

But Liu Hongji was still afraid.

Even, uneasy.

You know, Yang Wu came in person.

The opponent is a victorious general and has never lost a single battle.

Liu Hongji was still afraid of fighting against such a person.

"I don't know if Mr. Tang has received any news."

Liu Hongji thought to himself.

"Tap."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, a Tang soldier rushed in.

"General, General!"

This Tang Jun was panting.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Hongji asked quickly.

"There's something going on over there with the Sui army!"

Tang Jun said quickly.

"Really, what's the noise?"

Liu Hongji asked again.

"They chose to go south, apparently to bypass Xihe County."

Tang Jun replied.

"What, bypassing Xihe County?"

Liu Hongji was stunned for a moment.

He really didn't expect that the Sui army would have this arrangement.

You know, the leader is Yang Wu.

With Yang Wu's character, he should be able to break through the county.

It can be said that Liu Hongji was caught off guard.

"A detour, they chose a detour just to hurry up."

"And I also know that the county city cannot be captured."

Liu Hongji forced himself to calm down and murmured.

"But if they attack from the south, then..."

His face changed.

The Tang army was in the south and had no defensive line.

Mainly, it's on the west side.

After all, the Sui army's attack direction was from the west.

If the Sui army really chooses to attack Taiyuan from the south.

Then it will be extremely easy.

Even if it snows, it can't stop this.

"Da da."

Liu Hongji felt even more panicked when he thought about this.

So, he started pacing back and forth again.

The frequent footsteps made everyone who heard them become upset.

"Send troops?"

Liu Hongji paused.

"General, what's the matter?"

At this time, a person walked in from outside the house.

This man was the former county guard, Ma Santong.

Now, he is deputy general Liu Hongji.

"Ugh."

Liu Hongji sighed.

Then, he told the story.

I told Ma Santong everything.

After listening, Ma Santong's expression became more exciting.

"really?"

he asked in surprise.

"General, do you look like someone who can joke?"

Liu Hongji asked rhetorically.

"Then general, what should we do next?"

Ma Santong has no opinion at all.

Liu Hongji is a general after all.

And according to the original historical development.

Its achievements are limitless.

Ma Santong is different.

He is just a nobody.

Even if Ma Santong had a hundred courages, he wouldn't even dare to think about dealing with Yang Wu.

"Now, two things can happen."

Liu Hongji said solemnly.

"General, please speak!"

Ma Santong nodded.

"First, the Sui army attacked from the south and reached Taiyuan unimpeded."

Liu Hongji stretched out a finger.

"What about the second?"

Ma Santong asked curiously.

"Second, we send troops to stop the Sui army or harass them."

"Go as far as you can to disrupt their rhythm."

Liu Hongji continued.

"General, it seems that the second method is the best choice."

Ma Santong said directly without thinking.

"That's right, but there's one thing you shouldn't ignore."

Liu Hongji said seriously.

Ma Santong, on the other hand, looked confused.

"Yang Wu is in charge of the Sui army. You and I both know how strong he is."

Liu Hongji said bluntly.

In other words, the Sui army may not have been harassed yet.

The Tang army led by Liu Hongji may still be defeated or annihilated.

"Is it possible that the general intends to stay in the county and let the Sui army attack from the south?"

Ma Santong asked.

Compared to Taiyuan, a small county is nothing.

After listening to Ma Santong's words, Liu Hongji was instantly speechless.

In fact, he himself didn't know what to do.

"General, send out troops. As long as we control the distance, we don't have to worry about anything."

Ma Santong advised.

"Otherwise, when the Sui army arrives at Taiyuan City, we won't be there to support them."

"Unless General, let Taiyuan be conquered."

He continued.

These are not nice words to say.

But Liu Hongji himself knew that every word he said was true.

"Ugh!"

He sighed and sat on the chair silently.

Ma Santong was not talking either.

He knew very well that Liu Hongji was thinking now.

What should the Tang army in the county do next?

"That's all, everything still focuses on the safety of Taiyuan!"

Liu Hongji finally made up his mind.

"promise!"

Hearing this, Ma Santong responded quickly. "However, Ben will give you a warning in advance."

Liu Hongji continued.

"General, please speak!"

Ma Santong replied.

"You need to stay in the county and cannot go out to fight under any circumstances."

Liu Hongji warned.

The county still needs someone to take charge.

"promise!"

Ma Santong responded quickly.

"General, I will personally stop the Sui army. All I need to do is delay their journey."

Liu Hongji said solemnly.

"General, didn't you just say?"

Ma Santong opened his mouth, about to say something.

"It was the weather that allowed Ben to make such a decision."

Liu Hongji interrupted Ma Santong.

"weather?"

Ma Santong was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it's just the weather."

"It's been quite cold these past few days."

"Is it possible that you didn't notice it?"

Liu Hongji asked.

"If the general didn't say anything, I really wouldn't have noticed it."

Ma Santong was stunned for a moment.

"This shows that the heavy snow is coming soon, as long as it is delayed until the heavy snow arrives."

"Then the Sui army can only give up the conquest."

Liu Hongji continued.

"What the general said is true, why didn't I think of it?"

Ma Santong suddenly realized it and hit himself on the head.

"Okay, I'll leave now, I'll leave the county to you."

Liu Hongji said solemnly.

"Don't worry, General, your humble position will not cause any changes in the county!"

Ma Santong said confidently.

"So good!"

Liu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief.

Following that, he immediately used his military power and planned to dispatch [-] troops to leave.

These ten thousand troops are almost the main force of Xihe County.

Those left to guard the county were only five thousand troops.

However, these five thousand troops can still be defended for a period of time.

But how did Liu Hongji know when he decided to leave the city?

His death is destined to come.

Moreover, after Liu Hongji led his troops to set off, he also chose to march in a hurry.

Judging from his posture, he was worried that the Sui army would arrive before them.

At the same time, in the direction of Mayi County.

Tang Jian has been here for some time.

On this day, the letter from the Li family finally arrived.

Tang Jian obtained the letter immediately.

He immediately opened the letter and quickly browsed it.

The content of the letter is the Li family’s decision.

Li Yuan agreed with Liu Wuzhou's request for territory.

Tang Jian didn't find it strange.

However, he believes that everything is under his control.

After getting the letter, Tang Jian went to Liu Wuzhou immediately.

Liu Wuzhou asked him to wait in the meeting hall.

Tang Jian could only wait for a moment before Liu Wuzhou, Tian Bo and others arrived one after another.

It is not difficult to see that Liu Wuzhou is in a good mood.

It seems that if the Li family is determined, they will definitely agree to give the territory.

"Mr. Liu."

Tang Jian quickly stood up and saluted.

"Okay, don't be too polite."

Liu Wuzhou waved his hand.

"Tell me, does the Li family agree?"

After he sat down, he went straight to the topic and asked.

"With Duke Tang's magnanimity, I'm sure he will agree."

Tang Jian didn't speak, but Tian Bo said something.

"is it?"

Liu Wuzhou squinted his eyes slightly, half-smiling.

"Mr. Liu, see for yourself."

Tang Jian took out the letter and handed it to Liu Wuzhou.

Liu Wuzhou took the letter and quickly browsed it.

"Yes, Mr. Tang is very kind!"

He put down the letter and gave Tang Jian a thumbs up.

It can be seen how Liu Wuzhou was feeling at this time.

Could he be unhappy?

The territory Liu Wuzhou demanded was not small.

Moreover, it is also an important place running through the north and south of Bingzhou.

If Liu Wuzhou occupied this place.

After falling out with the Li family in the future, there will be an important place that can be advanced, attacked, retreated and defended.

Tang Jian also knew what Liu Wuzhou was planning.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Tang has promised you, what's next?"

Tang Jian looked at Liu Wuzhou with a smile.

"No problem, I will arrange some manpower immediately to take you to meet the Turks."

Liu Wuzhou replied, showing his heroic spirit.

"but."

But his conversation suddenly changed.

"But what?"

Tang Jian frowned.

The Li family has already promised to give them their territory, what else does Liu Wuzhou want?
Isn't this too greedy?

"I will take away [-]% of what you give to the Turks!"

Liu Wuzhou said bluntly.

After all, he also needs those medicinal materials and food.

"Mr. Liu, this is too much. Those things must be given to the Turkic Khan."

Tang Jian frowned.

"We are our own people, and the Turks are outsiders after all."

"So you're a smart guy and know what to do."

Liu Wuzhou replied lightly.

"Okay, I agree!"

Tang Jian gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

At this point, he had no choice but to agree to Liu Wuzhou's request.

"However, if Liu Gong does this again and again, then I won't trouble you."

Tang Jianpi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, this is the last time."

Liu Wuzhou patted Tang Jian on the shoulder.

In fact, he is not a greedy person.

I also know how to give up when things get better.

Liu Wuzhou also knew that if he kept making requests again and again.

It will only anger the Li family, and I'm afraid they won't get anything in the end.

So asking for these materials was indeed the last time he spoke.

After both parties reach an agreement.

Liu Wuzhou immediately asked someone to take out some of the armor and grain.

After that, he began to arrange for Tang Jian to meet with the Turks.
