No matter what Yuwen Yuanliang orders.
Zhao Youlin still goes his own way.
After all, he is the commander-in-chief appointed by Yuwen Yuanliang, as long as this position is not removed.
As long as this order is not conveyed to all armies, then all armies must obey Zhao Youlin's dispatch.
And Zhao Youlin is now fully prepared for a final fight with Datang.
He even mobilized the 30,000 coalition soldiers used to defend the Bingzhou Army on the southern front to the eastern battlefield.
His attitude is now very clear, and it is clear that he wants to fight to the death with Datang on the Eastern Front.
But if he wants to fight Datang on the Eastern Front, can he fight on the Eastern Front?
In the final analysis, it depends on what Li Chengqian means.
He can fight only if he wants to. If he doesn't want to fight, who can force him to do it?
…
When Li Chengqian received the battle report from the front line, he smiled directly.
"Zhao Youlin, Zhao Youlin."
"Aren't you just a dog that jumped over the wall in a hurry and wanted to bite me before you died?"
Li Chengqian said to Cheng Huailiang beside him: "Pass my order, the Liangzhou Army on the Eastern Front will set up camp on the spot and build barriers. No one is allowed to leave the camp to fight without my order."
"yes!"
Cheng Huailiang didn't say anything and went down to deliver the order.
After Cheng Huailiang went out, Changsun rushed to Li Chengqian's side.
Changsun Chong asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why don't you have a head-to-head duel with them?"
"If our army wins, won't we be able to march straight in and seize the enemy's royal tent?"
"Do you think the war can be won so easily?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "No matter what the other party says, there are still nearly 60,000 people. How many do we have in the Liangzhou Army?"
"At this point in the war, there are only 30,000 soldiers left in the Liangzhou Army. Even if all the 8,000 people in our rear are pressed up, it will only be 40,000 at most."
"I'm not doubting our Tang Dynasty's fighting ability, I just think it's not worthwhile to fight with the opponent like this."
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his lips and said: "Furthermore, now that three attacks have been carried out to destroy two of them, only the Xi clan is left struggling to support themselves. Do you think King Xi will let the war continue?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and asked: "Your Highness, what do you mean..."
"You don't know what I mean?"
Li Chengqian gave Changsun Chong a look that showed that you understand as well as I do.
"The Xi clan can't afford to fight now. After all, the Northeastern Tribe is not as rich as the Tang Dynasty."
"At this point in the battle, they have probably used up all the supplies and soldiers they can mobilize internally."
"And now, King Xi must have dreamed of negotiating peace with us, but Zhao Youlin just doesn't want to."
"If not, he wouldn't be able to transfer all the soldiers on the southern front to the eastern front. After all, once the southern front is abandoned, the royal tent will become within easy reach of our army."
"Do you think King Xi is so stupid?"
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Changsun Chong also suddenly realized.
He chuckled and said, "Then Your Highness is waiting for them to bite each other?"
"clever."
Li Chengqian smiled and patted Changsun Chong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, they will collapse without a fight in three days at most."
…
The fact was just as Li Chengqian expected.
Not even three days had passed before the Xi tribe's camp was turned upside down.
King Xi Yuwen Yuanliang directly sent the royal guard team to come and named Zhao Youlin to arrest Zhao Youlin and return to the royal tent to resume his life.
Zhao Youlin faced the leader and said: "The general is outside, and I am not accepting your order. Now that the enemy is in front of me, Zhao will not be able to obey your order."
Upon hearing this, the leading minister sneered and said, "Shuai Zhao, please don't embarrass me. I'm just an errand boy."
"It's best for you to follow the king's instructions, hand over your military power, and then return to the king's tent to get back to you."
Hearing this, Zhao Youlin tilted his head and said, "What if I still refuse?"
"hehe."
The minister still sneered: "Shuai Zhao, don't look at me calling you Shuai Zhao now."
"But you have to understand that this is just to give you a step down."
"Now you are no longer the favored minister who wanted to win the war. You are now just a guy who led an army to defeat."
These words directly touched Zhao Youlin's sore spot.
His face darkened on the spot.
But the minister didn't take it seriously and seemed to beat him up.
At this time, he said to Zhao Youlin with a face full of arrogance: "So Commander Zhao, stop pretending to be noble here, and quickly hand over the seal of commander, so that we can go back to work."
"hehe."
"You want me to hand over my handsome seal?"
Zhao Youlin waved to the other party: "Okay, come and get it!"
The minister did not hesitate and walked towards Zhao Youlin arrogantly.
Zhao Youlin seemed to have given up completely and pushed the handsome seal on the table towards him.
The minister thought to himself: "You know the truth."
He grabbed the commander's seal and held it in his arms, mockingly saying: "If Commander Zhao had been like this, why would he waste so many words?"
After saying that, he turned around and completely exposed his back to Zhao Youlin.
And isn't this just seeking death?
Zhao Youlin almost didn't hesitate and stabbed the minister in the back with his knife.
Blood gushes out from the blood groove of the steel knife.
The minister's eyes widened and he tried with all his strength to turn around.
But how could Zhao Youlin give him this opportunity?
Zhao Youlin raised his leg and kicked the minister on the back.
Then he stepped forward, picked up the knife in his hand, and slashed at the minister's body as if to vent his anger.
Blood and flesh splattered in the Chinese military tent, covering Zhao Youlin's body and face.
Zhao Youlin didn't stop until the minister was chopped into pieces.
He gasped for breath, threw away the knife in his hand, and then scanned the people in the tent.
At this time, these guys in the tent were all frightened, and they all looked at him with horrified expressions.
Zhao Youlin raised his head and said: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you quickly kill those guys with cholera's military spirit?"
After hearing this, everyone woke up from a dream.
They are now also afraid of Zhao Youlin's methods.
Pity the royal guards who came with this minister.
They almost didn't even know what was going on, and they were killed by their own brothers who suddenly came up to kill them.
It's ridiculous that these people did not die in the hands of the enemy on the battlefield, but died in the hands of their own brothers.
After dealing with these people, Zhao Youlin walked directly out of the tent and shouted: "The whole army gathers and sends troops today!"
…
On this day, Zhao Youlin directly led his troops to attack the Liangzhou Army camp.
In order to prevent the coalition soldiers from retreating, he even set up a military governor's camp in front of the station.
If you dare to escape from the battlefield, the warlord battalion will personally kill those guys without the enemy taking action.
Such high-pressure measures did have some effect.
The soldiers of the third coalition army rushed towards the camp one by one, risking their lives.
But after all, they are a tired army, and because of their consecutive defeats, their morale is not as good as before.
Some people even have the mentality that they will die in this battle even before the fight begins.
How could such an army compete with the Liangzhou Army, which was ranked among the top in combat power among all the armies of the Tang Dynasty?
After several successive charges, let alone breaking through the camp, the ground was already covered with the corpses of allied soldiers without even climbing up the camp wall.
But even so, Zhao Youlin showed no intention of withdrawing his troops, and still insisted on letting his soldiers charge.
It's completely suicidal.
The appearance of Zhao Youlin is definitely a tragedy for the Northeastern Third Division...
