Chapter 554
Chapter 555: Zhao Jun evacuates the jujube
In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on February [-]th, in Suanzao, in front of the tent of the middle army in Zhao Jun's camp, the bodies of Le's father and son were quietly placed there. All the generals of Zhao Jun bowed their heads and remained silent. Li Rubing looked at the three corpses in disbelief, the majestic God of War of the Zhao Kingdom, just fell away. Le Yun debuted for decades, except for losing to Li Cunxiao once in Jiyang City, he was almost victorious in every battle. One of the sources of Zhao Jun's confidence is now dead, and the blow to Zhao Jun's morale can be imagined.

"General, it is inevitable that the earthen jar will be broken on the well, and the general will inevitably die in the battle. General Le died for the country, and he deserved his death!" Veteran Chen Ping said to Li Rubing, Chen Ping was also very saddened by Le Yun's death. The old veteran, he and Le Yun and Tu Gao are the only ones left, and now another one is gone.

"General, Li Cunxiao killed my general and trapped my city. This hatred is irreconcilable. Please also send troops to avenge General Le, father and son!" The young general Le Song knelt down and said to Li Rubing.

Le Song is Le Yun's nephew, Zhao Jun's general Le Ting's younger brother, Le Yun has always been an idol in his heart, and now he died tragically at the hands of Li Cunxiao, he wants to avenge Le Yun.

"General, please send troops to avenge General Le, father and son!" With Le Song taking the lead, all the generals of the Zhao army fell to their knees one after another, asking Li Rubing to send troops to defend their fathers, Chen Ping and Tu Gao, who were still standing in place .

It wasn't that Chen Ping and Tu Gao didn't want to avenge Le Yun, but they knew very well that even Le Yun was not Li Cunxiao's opponent.

Li Rubing trembled, sighed, and said, "I'll talk about revenge later. The most important thing now is to bury General Le, his father and son, and General Chen Ping. I will leave this matter to you. As for sending troops, we will wait." After the funeral of General Le, father and son, we can make plans!"

"Here!" Chen Ping responded.

Then Li Rubing said to the generals kneeling on the ground: "I know that you are very sad because of the death of General Le and his son, and you really want to avenge them, but the matter of sending troops is a big one, so don't be impulsive. What we need to do now is to make all preparations and wait for this general's order!"

"Here!" All the generals knew that it was unrealistic for Li Rubing to send troops now. What they wanted was Li Rubing's attitude. Now that Li Rubing had made his statement, all they could do was wait.

After letting the generals retire, Li Rubing invited Chen Ping and Tu Gao, two veteran generals, to the central army tent.

"You two generals, what do you think about sending troops?" Li Rubing said to the two of them.

Chen Ping and Tu Gao looked at each other, and finally Chen Ping said: "Grand General, the death of General Le Yun is certainly sad, but the Lord must not be angry and raise the army. Now that General Le has died in the hands of Li Cunxiao, the morale of Deng Jun has been greatly boosted. It may not be appropriate to rashly send troops to fight Deng's army now."

Li Rubing nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the attitudes of Chen Ping and Tu Gao. A general died in the hands of Li Cunxiao. Although there were many generals in his hands, there were only a handful of them who could confront Deng Jun. If he went to fight Deng Jun now, his chances of winning were not great.

"This general and the two generals have the same thoughts, but now because of the death of General Le and his son, the army is raging. If this general suppresses it, the army's heart will be shaken, so this general hopes that the two generals can be good. To persuade the generals, let them put the overall situation first, let go of the grief in their hearts for the time being, this matter can only be done by the two generals."

It is impossible to send troops, but Li Rubing can't say these words, otherwise it will make people in the army cold, but it is different when Chen Ping and Tu Gao say it. They are the only remaining veterans of Zhao Guoshuo , the prestige in the army is no lower than that of a general like himself, and the two of them have a deep relationship with Le Yun. It will be easier for people to accept it if they talk about it.

Chen Ping and Tu Gao understood Li Rubing's meaning as soon as they heard it, and they also knew very well that no one else could handle this matter except the two of them.

At this time, Chen Ping said to Li Rubing: "General, other generals are not very worried, but General Le Ting in Pei County may not listen to us. You must know that General Le Yun is General Le Ting's uncle. General Le Yun brought him up because of his father's death, and now that General Le Yun's father and son have died in the hands of Li Rubing, the last general fears that General Le Ting will bring the [-] troops from Pei County to the Deng Army for a decisive battle."

Chen Ping's worry was not unreasonable. Le Ting had an army of [-] in his hands, and it was far away in Peijun. If he chose not to obey Li Rubing's order, he might take the army in his hand to fight against Deng Jun. If that's the case, it's all over.

Li Rubing frowned and said: "General Le Ting, I will personally edit a book. General Le Ting has always understood righteousness, I believe he will understand."

At this time, the general Zheng Xuan hurried in and said to Li Rubing: "General, something is wrong. Le Song suddenly left the camp with his soldiers and disappeared!"

"What!" Li Rubing and the others were shocked when they heard the words, what was Le Song's reason for leaving the camp suddenly at this juncture?

Li Rubing thought for a while, and said to Chen Ping: "General Chen, Le Song must have gone to Pei County to find Le Ting. If Le Ting is persuaded by Le Song, then the matter will be over. You should immediately go to Pei County with the letter written by the general." See Le Ting in the county, hold him steady, and leave the funeral for General Le Yun, father and son to General Tu Gao."

"Here!" Chen Ping also knew the seriousness of the matter, and quickly responded.

While Li Rubing was writing the letter, another member of the Zhao army, Liang Fu, broke in and said, "General, the spies report that Yue Fei left Fengqiu with tens of thousands of troops and came to Suanzao, while Xie Xun of Pingqiu, Ren Ping and Li Cunxiao lead the army to approach Dongjun!"

It's really a house leak coincident with the continuous night rain, and the boat was late and met with the headwind. Here, Deng Jun came before Zhao Jun's own mess was resolved.

Li Rubing thought for a while and said, "Order all the spies to keep track of Deng Jun's movements and report to the general at any time. At the same time, order all the troops to prepare for war!"

"Here!" Liang Fu responded and left.

"General, what should we do now?" Chen Ping asked anxiously. Now because of the death of Le Yun, Zhao's god of war, Zhao's army was panicked and their morale was low. But at this time, Deng Jun called, and even more When it was about to die, Li Cunxiao and others who broke through Pingqiu and killed Leyun also led their troops north to Dongjun. Although Xie Xun, Ren Ping, and Li Cunxiao didn't have many troops, Li Cunxiao was too fierce. A fierce general can't be treated with common sense. Even if he can't defeat Dongjun, he can turn Zhao Jun's rear upside down.

Li Rubing said: "General Chen, this is my own handwritten letter. You must rush to Peijun immediately, and you must stabilize Leting. As for Deng Jun, I will have my own way!"

"Here!" Chen Ping responded, then took Li Rubing's autographed letter and left.

After Chen Ping left, Li Rubing said to Tu Gao: "General Tu, the Deng army is coming aggressively. Given the current state of our army, it is not suitable to fight the Deng army. I planned to evacuate Suanzao and return to Dongjun. After stabilizing the rear, I will make another plan. But this general fears that the lieutenant generals don’t understand, so I asked General Tu to go and persuade them one by one.”

"Don't worry, general, I promise that I will convince all the generals one by one, and no one will block the army at this time." Tu Gao responded quickly.

Soon, the generals of Zhao Jun came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and seeing the expressions of the people, Li Rubing knew that Tu Gao had persuaded them, which made Li Rubing feel relieved.

Li Rubing said to the crowd: "Everyone, Yue Fei personally led an army of tens of thousands to attack Suanzao. Although our army is not afraid of Yue Fei, Xie Xun, Ren Ping, and Li Cunxiao have led tens of thousands of elite troops to invade Dongjun. The safety of Dongjun is related to the success or failure of our army, and we must save it. In order to stabilize the rear, I decided to lead the army back north to Dongjun, drive Deng Jun out of Dongjun, and then go south!"

After Tu Gao's persuasion, everyone felt a little upset, but they also understood that the overall situation was the most important thing, so they had no objections.

Li Rubing felt relieved when he saw this, and said to Tu Gao: "General Tu, the retreat of the army cannot be done overnight, but we must not allow Deng Jun's partial division to wreak havoc in Dongjun. County, to resist the Deng army, I would not expect you to be able to repel the Deng army. You only need to block the Deng army and prevent it from invading Puyang City. I will let Zheng Xuan and Zhang Lan assist General Tu!"

After Le Yun's death, Tu Gao was the most capable general in the Zhao army. Although there was still a big gap between Li Cunxiao and Li Rubing, Li Rubing could only send Tu Gao out, at least with Tu Gao's strength. Facing Li Cunxiao will not be defeated all at once.

"Here! Please rest assured, the general. Although the final general dare not beat Li Cunxiao lightly, it is still possible to block him. The final general will definitely hold out until the general returns to help and save Puyang City!" Tu Gao responded.

"General Tu will go out, so I will rest assured. The rest of the generals will reorganize their troops. Within three days, our army must withdraw from Suanzao, and if it is too late, things will change!" Li Rubing nodded and said, three days, this is what Li Rubing told everyone. According to the deadline, Fengqiu is not too far away from Suanzao, even if Deng Jun marches slowly, he can arrive in three days, so there is not much time left for Zhao Jun.

At the same time, Yue Fei had just left Fengqiu with his army, but the marching speed was not fast, because Yue Fei knew that the purpose of this trip was to drive Zhao Jun out of Dongjun, not to fight Zhao Jun, so he didn't In fact, even if Yue Fei is asked to go to a decisive battle with Zhao Jun now, Yue Fei doesn't have much chance of winning. Although the morale of Zhao Jun has plummeted because of Le Yun's death, but as the saying goes, mourning soldiers will win, who knows Will Zhao Jun be inspired by Le Yun's death?

"General, with the speed of our army, we can reach Suanzao within five days at the latest, but now Li Rubing must have received the news that our army is going north. So what should I do?" Li Xiucheng said to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei smiled and said: "General Li don't have to worry, Li Rubing can be regarded as a famous general in the world, it is impossible for him not to understand the current situation, our army has no chance of winning, and Zhao Jun still has no chance of winning, take ten thousand steps back and say, if If Li Rubing refuses to retreat and stays in Suanzao, is it possible that the general will be afraid of him? Moreover, General Xie Xun and others have already entered Dongjun County. If Li Rubing refuses to retreat, the strength of General Xie Xun and others is enough to take down Puyang City , Once you reach Puyang City, waiting for Li Rubing will only lead to defeat, so Li Rubing will definitely retreat."

Li Xiucheng thought about it, and felt that it was true. Li Rubing's success today was not due to luck alone. He would not fail to understand such an obvious truth, so he didn't say anything, and stayed quietly beside Yue Fei. On the other hand, but Li Siye hoped that Li Rubing would be tougher, stay in Suanzao and have a vigorous fight with them, so as to relieve the suffocation of this period of time.
