Chapter 852 Yang Dacheng goes north, Li Xiaoyi makes a plan

"You're kind enough to let you escape south?"

"Humph!"

"Li Cunxi clearly wants you to go south to disrupt the morale of our army!"

Yang Dacheng started to scold.

He is not a fool. It is fine if Li Cunxi is kind enough to let these royal guards leave, but how could he be so kind as to tell them to go south to seek asylum.

True kindness would be to let these people go home.

"Damn it, Li Cunxi is really going too far!"

"Does he really think that our army is so easy to bully?"

"Without Emperor Wu Sansi, we will die without a burial place, right?"

"Humph! Li Xiaoyi is blocking the news because he wants to use us as scapegoats to resist the imperial army. I will not be used by him!"

"Since they're already rebels, there's nothing much to say. Bi Ke, go gather the troops and we'll head straight north. Ignore Li Xiaoyi and go settle accounts with Li Cunxi of Yuezhou!"

In less than half an hour, the news that the 50,000-strong Right Eagle Guard army was heading north under the leadership of Yang Dacheng reached the ears of Daleha, Zhang Renyuan, Fang Zhe and Li Xiaoyi.

Daleha stared at the map carefully again and again, and for a moment he couldn't understand what the Right Eagle Guard was going to do.

But he was not stupid. He immediately sent 50,000 troops of the Left Guard to follow the Right Guard of Eagle Guard, always keeping a distance of 20 miles and heading north together.

After sending out the soldiers, Daleha wrote a handwritten letter and asked someone to deliver it to Fang Zhe, who had threatened Li Xiaoyi in public.

Fang Zhe was stunned when he received the letter.

He followed Daleha's arrangement and set up camp ten miles away from Li Xiaoyi's army. His goal was to destabilize the morale of Li Xiaoyi's army.

In this era, no army could guarantee the stability of the military morale by facing the Zuolongwuwei, not to mention that Li Xiaoyi's army had become turbulent after the rumors spread.

"Let me see what Brother Daleha is talking about."

"Brother Fang Zhe, Yang Dacheng is leading nearly 50,000 of his Right Eagle Guards northward. Our specific intentions are unknown. I have ordered 50,000 Left Guards to follow, and the remaining 50,000 will be used as reinforcements.

"Brother Fang Zhe, you have a hundred thousand troops under your command. They must not be moved lightly. Your five thousand armored troops are your ace among aces and must not be used lightly. I also ask you to make sure you stop Li Xiaoyi's hundred thousand troops and prevent them from looking north."

Fang Zheren was paralyzed. He said to the deputy general not far away: "Increase patrols. Li Xiaoyi's troops must not let even one person escape!"

……

Li Xiaoyi is even more numb than Fang Zhe.

According to his understanding of the war situation, only by combining his 100,000 troops and Yang Dacheng's 50,000 troops to face each other could they deal with Zhang Renyuan's 200,000 troops.

The method used to defeat Li Kaigu's army of tens of thousands will no longer work after being used once. Zhang Renyuan's army will not fall for this trick.

Now is the important moment to hold on and wait for the opportunity, but Yang Dacheng actually chose to quit and head north.

After Yang Dacheng moved, it would be difficult for him to move again. Zuo Longwuwei, who was close to him and using his ultimate power, would make him know what it meant to be heartbroken.

"Damn it, Yang Dacheng, why did he suddenly move north?"

"At this time, the most important thing you should do is to hold on with me. What will we do if you run away? Will my 100,000-strong army have to face the Zuo Longwu Guard and Zuo Wei Guard alone?"

"Damn it, damn it, this guy has no sense of the overall situation, damn it!"

Li Xiaoyi was so anxious that he was spinning around.

What's the point of Yang Dacheng going north? The emperor has been abducted, he knows it...

"Wait, Yang Dacheng doesn't seem to know about the emperor's capture."

Li Xiaoyi suddenly remembered.

"I kept it a secret from him for several days. Could it be that he suddenly found out about it and thought I was using him as a pawn, so he ran away in anger and went north to settle the score with Li Cunxi?"

"Damn it! I forgot about this. Logically, Yang Dacheng wouldn't know about it, and my plan would be able to go on smoothly."

"Now it's good, I'm all alone."

There is no use getting angry. After Li Xiaoyi realized this, he immediately went to the side of the map, intending to find a strategy to defeat the enemy on the map.

"Prince Qin Li Cunxi captured Wu Sansi alive in Yuezhou. This means that the person currently confronting me is actually Zhang Renyuan, the Deputy Chief Commander of the Jiangnan Road Army."

"Zhang Renyuan, the General of the Left Guard, is a very prudent man. He would never send an army without assurance of victory."

"The Zuolongwuwei Fangzhe army in front of us, their purpose is to keep a close eye on our army and prevent us from making any rash moves."

"If Yang Dacheng went straight to Yuezhou on his way north, the shortest distance would be to cross the northeastern part of Jianzhou, enter Kuazhou, then pass through Wuzhou, and finally reach the southern part of Yuezhou."

"Li Cunxi is a man of courage and caution, and definitely not one to act on impulse. He must have been keeping a close eye on every move on the front lines. Someone must have informed him of the important news that Yang Dacheng's army was moving towards Yuezhou."

"He got the news and he definitely won't confront Yang Dacheng head-on."

Zuoweiwei and Zuolongwuwei have a total of 200,000 troops. When the news of Yang Dacheng's northward march reaches Zhang Renyuan, Zhang Renyuan will definitely send troops to follow him. As long as Yang Dacheng attacks Yuezhou, these soldiers will follow and kill him.

Moreover, the number of soldiers following Yang Dacheng's 50,000 Right Eagle Guard troops must be no less than 50,000.

After Zhang Renyuan withdrew 50,000 men and left, his and Fang Zhe's army was left with only about 150,000 men. Such a force would not be able to absolutely suppress Li Xiaoyi.

Li Xiaoyi's mind worked rapidly and he figured out the matter.

Then everything will be easy to handle.

Yang Dacheng went north, his target was Li Cunxi. Li Cunxi was the designated crown prince and would ascend the throne sooner or later. Unless Zhang Renyuan was crazy, he would put eliminating Yang Dacheng before rescuing Li Cunxi.

Now, as long as he could put Li Cunxi in danger, he could lead his people to Quanzhou, pass through the four states of Zhang, Chao, Xun and Guang, and then go west.

"This plan works!"

Li Xiaoyi tapped the table lightly.

"Zhou Ci, come in!"

Outside the tent, Zhou Ci, who was walking back and forth and feeling restless, heard Li Xiaoyi calling him, so he hurried in.

"General, you're looking for me?"

"Yes, you must immediately select a dozen smart brothers and have them carry my message north to find General Yang Dacheng."

"General, what message do you want to bring?"

"Tell General Yang Dacheng that if he insists on seeking revenge for His Majesty and causing trouble for Li Cunxi, he must make sure to head to Shanyin County in Yuezhou as quickly as possible. I will hold back Zhang Renyuan and Fang Zhe's 200,000 troops in Fuzhou!"

"I'm going to find someone right now!"

Zhou Ci turned around and walked out without saying anything.

In just half a minute, more than a dozen riders rushed out of Li Xiaoyi's camp and chased towards the north.
