Chapter 442 Li Cunxi's Response
The war between the Great Zhou and the Khitan has always been a focus of attention for many forces.
When the Khitan Li Jinzhong's troops were defeated, the news had already spread in all directions.
Certain forces that wanted to know the direction of the war and make changes to future plans all fell silent when they received accurate information about the current direction of the war.
Especially the force of Snake Spirit.
The news of Qiu Jing's arrest was not suppressed, and Qiu Jing's subordinates - some Chongzhou detectives - quickly spread the news.
As a result, Qiu Jing was arrested yesterday, and Li Cunxi and his group, who learned the news today, were also completely unprepared.
"Since Qiu Jing was not arrested secretly, it means that the Snake Spirit members in Turkic and Chongzhou have already known about the changes in Chongzhou."
"Fortunately, Wang Xiaojie and Zhao Wenhui have already demonstrated the military strength of the Great Zhou with a great victory."
"What we need to do now is not to return to Chongzhou immediately, but to keep a close eye on my good son, Crown Prince Mochu, and Crown Prince Helu who is hanging out with Yuzhou."
"The victory of the Great Zhou will make them lose hope. At this moment, they might even become desperate and fight to the death with His Majesty the Khan."
Li Cunxi held the information in his hand and turned to look at the person who came to deliver the letter.
"May I have your name."
"In reply to Governor Li, I am General Song Wuji!"
Li Cunxi looked at this person with a slightly higher opinion.
In the original book, although this man was ranked as the General of the Right Guard, he was an absolute coward.
He never displayed the abilities that a general should have in the play.
However, in this strange world, this man did it. Under Su Honghui's order, he marched with Li Kaigu and personally killed a brave general in the Khitan army.
Killing a general on the battlefield is no small achievement.
In terms of difficulty alone, his contribution in the Battle of Dongxiashi Valley was second only to Su Honghui.
Li Cunxi walked down the steps and came in front of Song Wuji. He immediately reached out and grabbed Song Wuji's arm and said:
"The intelligence has revealed the general's orders. Killing the general in battle will only add to the general's divine power."
“It’s really not easy to see you today.”
"Please wait for me here for a moment. I will write a reply letter to General Wang, General Zhao, and Deputy General Su. Please take it back."
After several years of ups and downs in officialdom, Li Cunxi naturally knew how to praise military generals, especially those who had just made great contributions.
Now there is a wave of praise, almost praising Song Wuji to the sky.
Although Song Wuji was very happy to be praised, he did not forget to ask:
"Li Fuyin, the two generals hope that you can go back and help them guard against the Khitan."
"According to reliable intelligence, Khitan Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong have already joined forces and are about to attack Chongzhou."
"You are in Turkic, so you must think of the soldiers and civilians of Chongzhou."
"Are you not going to go back?
Li Cunxi shook his head and said calmly:
"Of course I have to go back, but definitely not today."
"I have other things to do in Turkic. Chongzhou just needs to be careful and on guard. I won't be of any use to you for now."
Song Wuji said quickly:
"If Lord Li doesn't return, Chongzhou will be in danger!"
Li Cunxi sighed and thought that it was no small matter that the Khitan army of one or two hundred thousand people was blocking the pass.
But if the Turks don't give him a one-time solution, there will definitely be endless troubles in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Li Cunxi turned around and looked at Song Wuji, saying:
"You can order General Zhao Wenhui to lead 50,000 troops out of the city and find a place with relatively high terrain to set up camp, so as to form a horn with Chongzhou City."
Song Wuji was not someone who didn't know about military affairs. When he heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Prefect Li doesn't know that although there are high mountains outside Chongzhou City, it is not a place that can be defended."
"If we are surrounded and have no food or water, the army will be in chaos in less than half a month."
Li Cunxi was naturally aware of the risk, but the reason why the Horn Force was famous was because of its stable style of play.
And Zhao Wenhui's army did not need to hold on for too long.
The Turkic princes Mochuo and Helu would not have such good patience.
"General Song, there is no need to say more. I really cannot follow you back to Chongzhou now."
"However, I will appear outside Chongzhou City in a few days."
Song Wuji bowed and did not refute.
Li Cunxi quickly wrote a reply letter and gave it to Song Wuji, asking him to take it back.
After Song Wuji left the royal court, Li Cunxi took a deep breath and looked at Ma Rong who had been eating.
"When it's your turn, you know what to do, right?"
Ma Rong put down the roasted lamb leg in his hand, wiped the oil off his hands, stood up, and nodded heavily.
"Within two days, one of Crown Prince Mochu and Crown Prince Helu will lead his army to attack the royal court!"
"it is good!"
Ma Rong bowed and left through the back door.
Kui Wenzhong, Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang were sitting together with their eyes closed, resting like big bosses. When they heard Ma Rong leaving, they opened their eyes.
"Cunxi, how could Ma Rong instigate Crown Prince Mochu and Crown Prince Helu to launch an attack on the royal court?"
"Could it be that Ma Rong has some special abilities?"
Li Cunxi sat down slowly, looked at Lu Dayou who was reading a book, and said lightly:
"You will find out soon. Moreover, by tomorrow night at the latest, one of these two will definitely attack the royal court."
"Dayou, come on, speak louder so I can sleep better."
"Since I became an official, I can't read this book at all."
……
Only half an hour.
Snake spirit stronghold.
Three people appeared at the door tacitly. Because they were wrapped tightly, two of them only communicated with each other through eye contact.
Afterwards, after being allowed to go by the Snake Spirit members, they entered the Snake Spirit stronghold together.
Yu Zhou, who already knew that these people were coming, did not put on the airs of a famous scholar as usual, but stood up to greet them.
"The Khitans were defeated miserably. Zhao Wenhui attacked from behind, Wang Xiaojie attacked from the front, and Li Jinzhong was almost captured."
"Mr. Yu, can you tell me what is going on?"
"Didn't you, the Snake Spirits, agree that you would let Zhao Wenhui mistakenly enter Khitan territory, and then have Sun Wanrong annihilate Zhao Wenhui's army?"
Prince Mochu seemed to have lost his mind. He rushed forward, grabbed Yuzhou's collar and started questioning him.
Yu Zhou didn't know what was going on. He pushed Prince Mochu away with a stern expression:
"I just received news that before the Youwei Guard and Yingzhou Army arrived in Chongzhou, Qiu Jing was captured by Li Kaigu, the general of the Right Camp of the Youwei Guard."
"I am also wondering what is going on. Zhao Wenhui's army appeared behind the Khitan army. This was not in our plan!"
"Now that I think about it, there must have been a traitor among the people who made the plan."
"It was this traitor who helped and sent someone to lead Zhao Wenhui's army out of the Turkic Empire and get behind Li Jinzhong!"
