The flickering candlelight illuminated the already dark room, and two figures sat around the table.
The sound of whistling snow outside was mixed with the sound of distant bangs, indicating the tranquility of Taiyuan City at this late night.
Wen Tao poured a cup of tea for Li Jing and Hou Qing, then sat down and looked at Li Jing, who was only wearing a plain gown.
"But as Brother Li said, if Jin wants to break the siege of Luzhou, I'm afraid it will have to wait until spring."
The expression on Li Jing's face remained unchanged, and she did not feel cold at all. She just held the tea cup and slowly took a sip of tea.
"If we look at it according to common sense, I'm afraid Li Keyong will have to wait until the beginning of spring before letting Li Cunxu lead the army. But Luzhou has been besieged for half a year. If the Yasheng Li Sizhao hadn't been in charge of the city, it would have been lost long ago, but it must have been The situation is not optimistic either.”
Seeing the corpse ancestor next to him just drinking tea indifferently, Li Jing dipped his hand in tea and drew a sketch on the table.
"The Shatuo cavalry of the Jin State are all over the world. Although they have suffered a lot of losses in the battles with the Liang State in recent years, they still have few opponents. Now it is approaching the depth of winter, and the river has long been frozen into a hard glacier. Even if there are thousands of horses riding on it, There will be no problem. If Li Keyong decides to use troops now, the army can go all the way from Taiyuan to Luzhou..."
Wen Tao on the opposite side showed a solemn look. When they went north from Bianzhou, the river was almost covered with ice. In this case, the possibility of what Li Jing said was not small.
Hou Qing, who was drinking tea next to him, just raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Jing.
"So, it won't be too late for the Mirror Heart Demon to follow Li Cunxu on his expedition?"
Li Jing tapped the table with her fingers, her delicate face just looking pale.
"The Jin Kingdom has been resting and recuperating for more than half a year. This opportunity is right in front of us. There is no reason not to send troops..."
…………
The heavy snow was falling, and in the otherwise silent night, a series of camps crouched on the ground were all brightly lit.
The sound of the horses neighing, the white smoke puffed out by the soldiers as they talked, and the spittle flying in the air all showed the unusual atmosphere in the Jin army camp tonight.
The sound of clashing swords could be heard everywhere as the soldiers moved. Jin soldiers holding torches and patrolling at night were everywhere in this huge military camp.
The sound of horse hooves came from the camp door, and then walked straight in unhurriedly.
The generals of the Jin army who had been waiting for him for a long time greeted him respectfully.
This group of people who came late at night only numbered more than ten people, but they were all full of momentum. Several soldiers were riding on horses holding torches, illuminating the thin figure of the leader.
Only the frightening look on his face made people dare not look directly at him.
But he was only half a body behind, following another tall and thin figure, turning around to observe the environment in the camp.
The soldiers who came forward also surrounded this tall and thin figure, and they all addressed him as "Your Highness."
These two people were naturally Li Cunxu and Jing Xin Mo and his party. They came in the snow at night, but they had made arrangements early.
Li Cunxu's long hair was slightly disheveled, revealing only half of his cold cheeks. His red eyes glanced at the old and strong generals standing in the snow around him, and then he jumped off the horse vigorously.
"Commander Zhou, his military appearance is good, not bad."
Seeing Li Cunxu smiling and praising him, a stout middle-aged military attaché in front of him took a half-step forward without being humble or arrogant, clasping his fists and speaking out.
"The morale of the generals increased greatly when they found out that His Highness was leading the army, but the general did not dare to take credit."
Jing Xinmo, who dismounted immediately after Li Cunxu, squinted his eyes and looked at the military attache, and immediately thought of this person's identity.
It was Zhou Dewei, the camp commander of this military camp.
In his early years, he was an old man who started his career following Jin King Li Keyong. In recent years, he has made numerous military exploits. When Luzhou was besieged this year, he also received orders to assist Luzhou many times. Although the Liang army was defeated repeatedly, due to the strength of the Liang army and the few soldiers of the Jin army, the siege of Luzhou could not be lifted.
On the contrary, he was a worthy general in the Jin Kingdom.
As if aware of the Mirror Heart Demon's scrutiny, Zhou Dewei, who was standing in front of Li Cunxu, just raised his head and looked straight away with a pair of tiger eyes.
Seeing the Mirror Heart Demon dressed as an actor, he could only sigh in his heart.
The prince of Jin Dynasty is very good in arts, politics and martial arts. If he succeeds to the throne in the future, he may be even more prosperous than the prince of Jin. However, this habit of doting on actors is very embarrassing...
But he only looked away for a moment, and his tall body turned to the side, reaching out to the military camp as an invitation.
"The wind and snow are very strong. Your Highness, please go to the tent to discuss matters."
With a faint smile on his face, Li Cunxu put one hand behind his back, summoned the Mirror Heart Demon, and then headed towards the commander's tent surrounded by a group of senior generals.
The officers and soldiers patrolling the camp on the road also stopped at a distance, and then respectfully performed military salutes in this direction.
Li Cunxu, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, is known as the "God of War" among the Jin army.
All attacks are invincible and all battles are invincible.
His reputation once even surpassed that of King Jin, who had no longer led troops.
Li Cunxu looked at the stopped soldiers over there and just turned his head and whispered to Zhou Dewei.
"The weather is extremely cold. Prepare more cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers. If the inventory is not enough, ask the treasury for it. I will go and talk to my father."
Zhou Dewei looked pleased, nodded in agreement, and walked into the handsome tent with Li Cunxu.
There was a brazier inside the tent, and the warm air enveloped the generals in an instant, and their expressions softened.
Li Cunxu sat behind Handsome Eucalyptus without hesitation, leaving Jing Xin Mo standing beside him with his body bent. Then he looked around at the generals sitting on the ground on both sides of the tent, and finally looked at Zhou Dewei, who was sitting at the top left.
"Liang General Li Si'an, I have also heard of his name, but unfortunately I have not fought against him yet. This time I am aiding Luzhou, so I have to learn the methods of this famous general of Liang State."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud and rough voice sounded from below.
"The prince takes action, I'm afraid it's time for him to use his methods!"
There was a burst of laughter in the tent, and Li Cunxu also had a smile on his face. He glanced at the general who made the noise, and then slowly stopped his smile.
"It is most difficult to fight in winter. Although our Jin State has excellent cavalry, Liang State has a large number of people. Nearly 100,000 people have been entrenched in Luzhou for half a year. This battle is not that easy to fight. Don't be careless... …”
All the generals looked at Li Cunxu, who was in charge, and listened quietly to his words.
"In recent years, we have won less battles with Liang Jun and lost more. If we can defeat Liang Jun in this battle, we can truly stabilize the hearts and minds of the people of Jin! Father has given us an army of 50,000 to fight. Do you want to Try your best."
After hearing what he said, all the generals who dared to speak nonsense again stood up.
"Death for the Jin Dynasty!"
Li Cunxu waved his hand and asked them all to sit down, and then slowly looked at the generals.
His eyes were burning and his voice was sonorous.
"In three days, raise the troops!"
