Chapter 444

Seven days later.

Border gate Tiemenshan camp.

Chinese army tent.

Henry Zhang brought the core generals of the Chiwu Army to meet Li Xiao.

"Great! As soon as you come, Marshal, the brothers will have the backbone!" Henry Zhang said excitedly.

After the arrival of the Chiwu Army, the border situation was complicated.

Although some people know them and know that they are the Chiwu Army.

But after all, the court army is the regular army, and their situation was not very good before.

Fortunately, this did not last long.

The news of the new emperor's succession to the throne has just come, and the situation of their army from Anyang County is much better.

A little bit smarter, who can't guess their relationship with the emperor.

But even so, the court army only gave them some courtesy, and what they could do was still very limited.

But now, my cousin and cousin are here. Also brought the three military commander seals.

With this, their status in the Chiwu Army came back.

Once again become the legion directly under the marshal, can you not shake?

Li Xiao smiled and glanced at Henry Zhang.

"Let's talk about the situation first. After the internal discussion is completed, I will invite other generals to come over to discuss matters." Immediately, he said.

"Yes!" The crowd responded quickly.

Immediately, they told what happened after they arrived at the border these days.

"According to reliable information, the envoy of Jin has already gone to Chu a few days ago."

"Just yesterday, the general of the Chu State, Wei Chi Tianqiong, arrived at Hantian Pass. In the Jin State, the frequency of the Jin army's drills has also increased."

"We suspect that the siege may be in these two days." Henry Zhang said with a heavy expression.

The others also nodded in agreement.

That's why they felt that the marshal came at the right time. If the marshal was not there, the court army would preside over the overall situation, and the result would not be good.

Li Xiao nodded.

"Hmph, if they dare to come, let them go back and forth." Shen said.

"Marshal mighty!"

"The marshal is right! This is the style of our Chiwu Army!"

"..."

"Yes, let them see the power of our Chiwu Army!"

Instant excitement in the account.

After a while, Li Xiaocai raised his hand to calm everyone down.

After a few simple words, let Henry Zhang invite the generals of the court army over to discuss matters.

"Yes!" Henry Zhang responded with a smile and left the tent.

As he walked out, his heart filled with pride.

The era that belonged to their Chiwu Army was finally coming back.

Not long after Henry Zhang left, all the important generals of the imperial army camps arrived.

Li Xiao took out the imperial edict and read it out, and then showed his handsome seal.

The generals of the imperial army immediately knelt down to see the marshal, and were sincerely convinced.

They were actually happy about Li Xiao's arrival and letting the Chiwu Army take over the overall situation.

Right now, Chu Jin could be launched at any time. Without the Chiwu Army and the marshal, they were not rivals.

When the marshal arrived, not only did the Chiwu Army have the backbone, but they also felt at ease.

Seeing that the generals had surrendered, Li Xiao didn't delay much, and quickly began to make strategic plans.

Most of the generals of the court army were old people. They had fought with the Great General Wang before, and even fought with Li Xiao directly.

Almost all of them are used to the fighting style of the Nangong family, and they adapt very quickly.

Soon, after more than an hour, the battle plan was arranged.

After Henry Zhang sent the generals of the court army away, and the people of the Chiwu Army also left, Li Xiaocai finally got free.

Lin Xiaoyue took some food from the space ring and put it on it, then dragged Li Xiao to the side and sat down, pinched her husband's shoulders in person, and served her husband to eat.

"It's hard work. You looked so handsome just now!" He said while taking care of him diligently.

She knew that her husband used to be a general, and when they came to the border before, they fought with her husband in person.

But today, I saw the other side of Xianggong's command of operations.

So many generals listened to him alone, and the battle plan was formulated comprehensively and neatly, as if he had already understood the battle situation.

Li Xiao was amused by his daughter-in-law's words, and took a piece of cake to eat.

After finding that it tasted good, he immediately took another piece, turned around and delivered the cake to his wife.

"The lady likes it." Then, she replied.

Lin Xiaoyue's face flushed red, feeling that she had been touched.

This guy is getting better and better...

In this way, the couple settled down at the Tiemen Mountain camp.

at night.

Lin Xiaoyue took a break and was just about to urge Li Xiao to go to bed quickly.

Suddenly, a report came from outside the tent, and an envoy from the state of Chu asked to see him.

Li Xiao's eyes moved.

Reassure the daughter-in-law and let her sleep first.

I went to the outside world to meet the messenger.

"I've seen Marshal Li." The person was neatly dressed, and at first glance he looked like a trainer.

"Yeah." Li Xiao looked up and down at the person who came, and responded.

"The general sent a villain to inform Marshal Li..." Then, the person who came quickly said what Yuchi Tianqiong wanted to convey.

In general, Da Chu has pretended to agree to cooperate with Da Jin. But at the critical moment, according to the agreement with Dayan, he will fight back and hit Dajin hard.

In addition, Yuchi Tianqiong also sent news that the commander of Da Jin this time was Xu Yan.

This person has a strong will to kill Yan, and Yuchi Tianqiong hopes that Li Xiao can prepare in advance.

"The day of the Great Jin siege has been set for tomorrow night, and the location is this Tiemen Mountain. The general asks the marshal to prepare in advance." The visitor finally said.

Li Xiao looked serious.

He hesitated a little, then nodded.

"Go back and tell General Yuchi,..." Then he said some of his own arrangements, as well as the places where he needed the cooperation and help of the Chu army.

The visitor was surprised.

I admire Li Xiao's arrangement in my heart.

"Little man wrote it down." Then, he hurriedly saluted Li Xiao.

Li Xiao confessed two more sentences, and then let someone secretly send the messenger away.

Will it start tomorrow night? It came quickly.

The next day, the first day of the new year.

Li Xiao ordered the whole army to improve their meals. The soldiers were not diligent in their drills and ate well. The army was full of joy.

But this is superficial.

The officers of each battalion have already received the news of preparations for the battle, and have prepared weapons, defending the city and other equipment.

In the evening, it snowed again in the sky.

The sound of rustling snow made Li Xiao in the tent look heavy.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyue came into the tent with a stove in her hand.

"Quick, warm your hands." He walked to Li Xiao's side and handed over the hand warmer.

Li Xiao just glanced at it and didn't reach out to take it.

But a force, dragged his daughter-in-law into his arms.

"Take it. It's so cold, be careful not to freeze." He is a big man, with rough skin and thick flesh, not afraid of freezing.

It's my daughter-in-law, it's only been a day, and her face is frozen white.

"I'm fine. It's like a zongzi, wrapped in several layers, it's not cold." Lin Xiaoyue replied.

"It's the soldiers, I just saw that many people didn't wear cotton-padded clothes-"

Before the Chiwu Army left Qingshi Town, Director Fang was fully prepared. This time, he came here, and he was fully prepared for food, weapons and cotton coats.

On the side of the imperial army, the situation turned out to be so bad.

In such a cold weather, it is difficult to maintain normal drills even if you don't wear cotton-padded clothes, let alone go to the battlefield.

Freezing to death is possible.

Li Xiao frowned.

"The government's finances are tight, and a large amount of military spending has been distributed to the border, but the consumption here is too high, and there is no way to keep every soldier from freezing for the time being."

"I have already ordered that after nightfall, soldiers without cotton coats are not allowed to move outside."

"If the battle tonight goes well, while killing the enemy, the seized materials can also be used by the soldiers to ease some of the current predicament."

"In addition, the court has also been trying to find ways to raise more supplies for the border, and the supplies will be delivered one after another."

When Lin Xiaoyue heard this, she felt a little more at ease.

He let go of his body and leaned on Li Xiao's shoulder.

"Will there be a lot of people from Jin Jun tonight?" asked.

"It won't be a lot, but it won't be less." Li Xiao replied.
