Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Chapter 225

"This rebel army should have more than a thousand people. They must have divided into many batches and ambushed ahead."

Duan Da said.

"In your opinion, how many people do you think there are?"

Yang Zhao asked flatly.

"Return to Your Highness, it is estimated to be around five thousand."

Duan Da stretched out five fingers.

"The only one that can eliminate the army in time is Xihe County, which means that Xihe County has eliminated half of its troops to stop our army."

He continued.

"So what does General Duan mean?"

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Xihe County can't provide support, our army can just change routes here, and go straight to Shangdang County to catch them off guard!"

Duan Da said.

"yes."

Yang Zhao replied, his expression still calm.

"Your Highness, behind Shangdang County is Taiyuan."

Duan Da said excitedly.

He can also be regarded as a general, so he can naturally find this fighter.

Moreover, once Yang Zhao followed Duan Da's suggestion and succeeded, Duan Da would be the hero who took down the Li family's rebels.

This will have advantages and disadvantages for Duan Da's position in the court in the future.

"But if the enemy deliberately guides our army to go to Shangdang, wouldn't our army be tricked?"

Yang Zhao asked back.

"This"

Duan Da was dumbfounded for a moment.

"At that time, it will be a waste of time, and we will not be able to break through Shangdang County to attack Taiyuan, or we will suffer heavy losses."

Yang Zhao continued.

Hearing these words, Duan Da's back was sweating coldly.

"The rebels shouldn't have thought of this, right?"

Duan Da was lucky.

"The recent arrangement of the rebels has been very clear, that is, to form a strong line of defense outside Taiyuan. Will they personally tear down their own line of defense?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"This"

Duan Da was speechless.

Thinking in another way, he definitely won't.

But it is also possible to make the mistake of sending people out to stop the enemy in order to delay the enemy, thus causing a crisis in the Shangdang.

"The opposing general is not an ordinary person, he may be the second son of the Li family."

Yang Zhao looked into the distance.

Those eyes seemed to see through the strong wind and haze, and saw Li Shimin who was looking dignified in Xihe County.

"This guy seems to have grown up, at the critical moment of the Li family's life and death."

Yang Zhao murmured.

He believed that Li Shimin made such an arrangement because he saw how fierce he used his troops.

"And the second son will not easily fall into the scheme of luring the enemy to go deep."

Yang Zhao held the hand of the rein, stretched out his index finger and tapped the rein.

"move on."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Zhao continued to give orders.

"promise."

Duan Da took the lead and let the army continue to move forward.

During the march, as Duan Da expected, he was repeatedly ambushed by rebels.

Although the ambush was not strong and there were almost no casualties, it made the soldiers more vigilant and exhausted.

Moreover, many potholes were encountered, and the army almost stepped into them.

Yang Zhao remained calm as always, as if everything was under his control.

So Duan Da knew that continuing to march would only make the soldiers more exhausted, so he had to follow the military orders.

After encountering more than ten ambushes, the army was quite exhausted, and there was still a long distance from Xihe County.

Yang Zhao also finally ordered to stop and rest, and set up camp at the same place.

It was only when the camp was set up that day that it snowed heavily in the sky at ten o'clock at night.

The sudden drop in temperature made the Sui army miserable.

"Hey, if this goes on like this, we will definitely lose."

Duan Da looked at the trembling soldiers and sighed secretly.

And this year, the heavy snowfall in Bingzhou came earlier, as if God didn't help them, and turned his head to help the Li family.

At this time Yang Zhao was alone in the large tent of the Chinese Army, with his hand on the handle of his saber, staring intently at the map in front of him.

"rustle."

There was a sound of footsteps, and they stopped in front of the tent.

"Subordinate Shen Lian, please see Your Highness."

A voice followed.

"Enter."

Yang Zhao agreed.

The tent curtain was lifted, and Shen Lian walked in quickly.

"See Your Highness."

Shen Lian saluted.

"Exemption."

Yang Zhao said lightly, signaling for Shen Lian to report the military situation directly.

"Your Highness, the Li family sent an army of 5000 people to hinder our army's advance."

Reported by Shen Lianhui.

"This news, I already know."

Yang Zhao replied.

After hearing this, Shen Lian turned to report other news.

Most of them are about Xihe, Shangjun, and Shangdang County's defenses.

In fact, at this time, Jin Yiwei couldn't get too much information.

Because the Li family's nerves are tense now, and the discussion is only with cronies, it is difficult to obtain core information under such circumstances.

"How about Li Cunxiao?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"General Li has successfully arrived in the northern part of Bingzhou, and disguised himself as a Turkic cavalry to surprise Mayi County."

Reported by Shen Lianhui.

"Ah."

Yang Zhao nodded slightly.

"Once Cunxiao starts fighting, Li Shimin should be moved."

he murmured.

Shen Lian remained silent, waiting for Yang Zhao's order.

"Go back."

Yang Zhao replied.

"promise."

Shen Lian took the order to retreat.

After Shen Lian left, Yang Zhao called Duan Da.

"See Your Highness."

Duan Da came in to salute.

"Order to change the route to Shangdang County, and immediately ask the luggage to follow."

Yang Zhao ordered.

As soon as these words came out, Duan Da's face changed drastically.

After all, not long ago, Yang Zhaocai said that he was going to Shangdang County, and he was very likely to fall into the trap.

Why did you suddenly choose to go to Shangdang at this time?

"The time has come, that's all."

Looking at the puzzled Duan Da, Yang Zhao said lightly.

"promise."

Hearing this, Duan Da didn't hesitate any longer, and directly answered with his hand.

When the military order was issued, the army immediately changed its course and embarked on the road to Shangdang County.

In addition, the military order was communicated to the supply chain, which also caused the supply army to change its route.

This series of actions was completely noticed by the spies of the Li family.

The spies who knew all this immediately returned to Xihe County with the news.

In Xihe City, spies came to see Li Shimin.

"Is there any movement from Sui Jun?"

The first time he saw the spy, Li Shimin asked quickly.

"Back to the Second Young Master, the Sui army changed their route, looking to go to Shangdang County."

The spy replied.

"it is good!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed.

Sure enough, Yang Zhao was caught in the trick, and the next thing will be much easier to handle.

"Congratulations to the second son, Yang Zhao is not only caught in the trap, we also have God's help!"

Hearing this, Liu Hongji hurriedly cupped his hands to Li Shimin.

"Yes, it snowed heavily last night and the temperature dropped sharply."

Duan Zhixuan agreed.

"Don't rush."

Even though everything was going in the direction Li Shimin thought, he still didn't lose his mind.

"Second Young Master, do you still have something to worry about?"

Liu Hongji asked.

"Yang Zhao is a scheming man, so I must be careful."

Li Shimin replied.

Then, he asked about the situation of the Sui army's supplies.

"Back to the second son, the Sui army's supply route has been exposed."

The spy replied.

Then, he also told the Sui army's supply route.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's breath was suffocated, and his whole body became excited.

"Okay, continue to spy, let's wait and see."

Even so, he still restrained his thoughts.
