Chapter 196: Cheating Again

"Yes, you are right. This Lu Zhaoci is cunning by nature. He is trying to cheat on me!" Jieli Khan said with a frown.

"Khan, if Lu Zhaoci knew that we were coming through the Longshan Trail, why did he let us occupy Wugong, Sanfu and other counties?" Shi Luodie obviously disagreed with Bo Tie's words and said coldly.

He hummed and said: "I heard that emperors in the Central Plains often flaunt benevolence and righteousness. I think the same goes for Lu Zhaoci. Is it possible that he will still be killed by his people for us? I think it was Lu Zhaoci who deliberately scared you.

, so as to force us to retreat. Great Khan, in my opinion, there are not many troops in Chang'an City at all. Why don't you send 10,000 cavalry to me, I will give it a try and see if they have the strength to compete with the Great Khan.

If they really have this strength, the Great Khan will ask them for food, grass, gold and silver treasures in exchange for our withdrawal. If they don't have this strength, the Great Khan will simply go down and capture Chang'an. He will do it himself.

emperor."

"Yes, from my point of view, this Lu Zhaoci is just a bluff. He is not that powerful at all. Khan, why don't we try to attack and see the opponent's strength?" Yaerjin also said.

said.

"What you said all makes sense." Jieli Khan nodded and said: "In that case, Shi Luodie, tomorrow, you will lead 20,000 cavalry to Gaoling to see who Lu Zhaoci sends to fight. I

Personally lead the troops to the Weihe River to see whether Lu Zhaoci is real or not."

"Yes!" Shi Luodie did not dare to neglect after hearing this, and quickly went down to gather troops and prepare for the battle tomorrow.

At this moment, in the city of Chang'an, flags were fluttering. Tens of thousands of strong men were organized by Changsun Wuji and others. They were wearing the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty. Although some did not have armor, they still held flags in their hands as feint troops to confuse the opponent.

"Silang, according to intelligence, Shi Luodie has led an army of 20,000 people and will arrive at Gaoling tomorrow. You will also lead an army of 20,000 people tomorrow to fight in the field. We must annihilate the opponent and make the noise louder to show the majesty of our army."

Lu Zhaoci patted Lu Zhaoying and ordered.

"Brother, please be careful. I will never betray my brother's trust." Lu Zhaoying hesitated for a moment and then said, "Brother, you have to be careful tomorrow. That Jieli Khan has two hundred thousand people under his command."

If my brother is defeated by the army, he can retreat to Tongguan. With the natural danger of Tongguan, he will be able to stop Jieli's army. Guanzhong, if it is lost in Guanzhong, it can be regained, but my brother is concerned about the safety of the Tang Dynasty and cannot talk about life or death lightly."

"Don't worry! I will be fine." Lu Zhaoci patted Lu Zhaoying's shoulder and said, "I have been destined by fate. How can anyone take my life when I come to this world?"

"Brother, be careful. I'll go down first to get ready." Lu Zhaoying nodded and left without mentioning the preparations.

*****************************

By the Wei River, Lu Zhaoci led dozens of cavalrymen and looked at the green mountains in the distance. Behind him, flags could be faintly seen fluttering, and cold light could be faintly shimmered. He could feel the evil spirit in the air. Lu Zhaoci held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand.

Wearing golden armor with a stern face, he looked into the distance without blinking. Behind him, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others had nervous expressions on their faces. After all, this general was facing him.

That's right, 200,000 cavalry, not 200,000 ants.

"Your Majesty, do you want to demolish the Wei Bridge, so that the Jieli cavalry can be blocked for a while?" Changsun Wuji pointed to the Wei Bridge not far away and said.

"It can't be demolished." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and said: "If we demolish this Wei Bridge, wouldn't it be the same as saying to Jie Li that I am timid? In this way, he will know that I actually don't have enough

If there are more troops and horses to stop him, he will lead his troops across the Wei River and go straight to Chang'an City."...

"What your Majesty said is true." Fang Xuanling also said: "A small Wei River cannot withstand Jie Li's cavalry. His 200,000-strong army can even throw the riding whip in their hands into the Wei River.

If the Wei River is cut off and each of the 200,000 troops throws a bag of soil, a broad road can be formed. Therefore, whether there is a Wei Bridge or not is basically the same thing. It cannot stop Jie Li's army. In this case, it is better to leave the Wei River

Bridge, using deception to gain profit. Hey! Your Majesty, look there! What a huge puff of smoke!"

"Xuanling, that's not smoke, but two hundred thousand cavalry." Lu Zhaoci said quietly: "I would like to see what this Jieli Khan looked like when he was born."

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zhaoci finished speaking, he saw a dark shadow appearing on the north bank of the Weihe River. It was long and continuous. It was surging like a huge gun, one wave after another, slowly approaching. Hundreds of thousands of war horses were approaching at the same time.

It trampled on the ground, making bursts of roaring sounds, as if the entire universe was about to collapse at this moment. A huge pressure appeared out of thin air, and Lu Zhaoci and others couldn't help but swallowed.

The cavalry behind him was even worse. His face was pale, his body was trembling, and he almost fell off his horse. If Lu Zhaoci hadn't been holding him up in front, he would have fled long ago.

"Auxiliary machine, is that Jieli Khan?" Lu Zhaoci asked, pointing to the middle-aged man in a snow-white robe at the front of the team. Looking from a distance, a trace of majesty hovered between his brows, and his heroic appearance was obviously extraordinary.

Not an ordinary person.

"Your Majesty, that person is none other than Jieli Khan." Changsun Wuji quickly replied.

"He is a heroic figure. No wonder he was able to unify the grassland and kill more than ten thousand of my soldiers in such a short period of time. It is indeed extraordinary." Lu Zhaoci said softly.

"Great Khan, the person opposite is Lu Zhaoci." On the horse, Zhi Zhi lost his mind and held back the wound on his butt. He pointed at the golden-armored general opposite and said.

"He is extraordinary in appearance, young in age, and can actually rule the Central Plains. He is indeed extraordinary and a powerful enemy." Jieli Khan couldn't help but said as he looked at the young man opposite him.

"Great Khan, look at the only dozen cavalry on the other side, why don't we rush over and kill Lu Zhaoci in one go, so that our Chang'an city can be defeated without a fight." Zhi lost Si Li suddenly said in surprise:

"Hey! Why do they still keep the Wei Bridge? This Lu Zhaoci is really stupid, he didn't actually demolish the Wei Bridge. Isn't this convenient for our army?".

"No, Lu Zhaoci is not as stupid as you think." Jieli Khan raised the whip in his hand and said: "Look, behind Lu Zhaoci, there are faintly powerful soldiers ambushing him. What's going on at Shi Luo Die's place?

how's it going."

"I heard that Lu Zhaoci's younger brother Lu Zhaoying led an army of 20,000 people in an ambush. The two sides are now fighting. The results have not been announced yet. There is also an unknown enemy situation on General Yarjin's side, and there is also an army of 20,000 people that launched an attack on his army.

." Zhi lost his mind and hurried back.

"According to the information given by Pei Ji, there are only about 40,000 people in Chang'an. Lu Zhaoci actually sent out 40,000 people at once. That means there are only a few thousand people in Chang'an. How come there are thousands of troops in front of them?" Jie

Li Khan said in surprise.

"Great Khan, could he be a suspicious soldier?" Zhi lost his mind and asked.

"Probably not. Lu Zhaoci is the king of a country after all. How could he do such a risky thing? Let me ask you a question." As he said that, he rode forward and shouted loudly: "The person opposite is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Will Lu Zhao resign?"

"Haha, it's me! May I ask if the person opposite is Jieli Khan, the overlord of the grassland?" When Lu Zhaoci saw that the opponent stopped his team and did not attack, he knew that the matter was already half done, so he was not afraid and rushed out.

, laughed and said: "Khan has traveled thousands of miles to come to my Guanzhong, I don't know what he is doing!"

"Lu Zhaoci, you and I are both smart people. I just want to ask, who is in charge of the ups and downs in the world now?" Jieli Khan laughed loudly...

"Why, Khan Jieli has not been busy enough on the grassland, so he still wants to come to the Central Plains?" Lu Zhaoci snorted coldly: "The Central Plains is the Central Plains of the Central Plains people, not the Central Plains of the Khans. Look, it's mine.

Behind me, ten million people are looking at me, and they are always ready to welcome the Khan's cavalry. Jieli Khan, can your cavalry cope with these tens of millions of people?"

"Whether you can handle it or not, I'm afraid you, Lu Zhaoci, can't see you." As soon as Jieli Khan finished speaking, he looked to the left and saw a Turkic cavalry rushing over from the left.

"Great Khan, General Shi Luodie is defeated!" The Turkic soldier shouted loudly: "After the opponent's battle formation, a banner with the word "Li" appeared. It is suspected that Li Jing's army is coming."

"Li Jing's army? Are you really fooled?" Jieli Khan's expression changed.

"The armies of Lu Zhaoying and Li Jing have already returned. They are coming this way with a mighty momentum. Their banners cover the sky and the sun. There are tens of thousands of them. Please make a decision early." At this time, that

The Turk detective horse then said: "General Shi Luodie has retreated to the main camp. And Tuli, Qibi Heli's army has also begun to stop advancing. It is still stationed on the Longshan trail and refuses to go south."

"This damn guy." Zhi lost his thoughts and shouted fiercely: "Great Khan, what should we do now? Or, rush over and seize Chang'an in one go!"

"No, Lu Zhaoci has been prepared for a long time, otherwise he would not have been able to stand in front of the army with a dozen cavalry alone. Look at those people, they are all sitting still on their horses, showing no fear. It is obvious that they have something in their hearts.

We must have the confidence to have the support of the army behind us. Now the armies of Lu Zhaoying and Li Jing have come here to kill us. Once we are surrounded by Lu Zhaoci, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. That Tuli is still at the entrance of the Longshan trail, and we will suffer heavy losses.

If so, he will definitely come to attack us. In that case, not only can we capture Chang'an, but we may not be able to return to the grassland. We are ordered to retreat twenty miles and find favorable terrain to set up camp." Jie Li.

Khan analyzed it carefully and said: "Urge Tuli and Qibi Heli to come for a round as soon as possible, and then check out Lu Zhaoci's true and false status. Only with their arrival can I have the strength to fight against Lu Zhaoci."

.”

"Yes!" Zhi lost his mind and did not dare to neglect. He glared at Lu Zhaoci who was opposite him fiercely, and then commanded the army to retreat back.
