In the Tang army camp, the lights in the main tent of the central army were still burning all night.
Li Ji lowered his head to read the military book. The tea in front of him had been brewed overnight and had lost its taste.
The bodyguard refilled his teacup and said to Li Ji,"
"Great General, it's almost dawn. You should go and rest for a while!”
Li Ji raised his head and waved his hand. He looked outside the tent. The sky was already slightly bright.
He put down the military book and prepared to stretch his muscles.
There was no news from Zhang Gongjin that night. It was unknown whether he was sad or happy.
At this moment, the herald ran in.
Li Ji was stunned and said to him,""So, did Zhang Gongjin win or lose?”
The herald knelt on the ground and reported,""It's not General Zhang Gongjin, but Youzhou City!”
"Youzhou City?" Li Ji muttered.
Over the past half a month, there was no abnormal movement in Youzhou City.
Suddenly, he thought of something. His expression tensed up and he hurriedly asked,"Tell me quickly, what's happening in Youzhou City?”
" The scouts have reported that there is quite a commotion in Youzhou City. It seems that people are gathering!" the herald replied.”
"What?"
Li Ji shouted loudly, his body covered in cold sweat.
He shouted," Order the entire army to gather quickly. Tell Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Liang to come to the main tent immediately!”
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin arrived at the tent with sleepy eyes.
"Li Ji, the sky hasn't brightened yet. Why did you call us here?" Cheng Yaojin said with some dissatisfaction.”
"Could it be that Zhang Gongjin's troops have sent news?" Zhang Liang asked.”
"Zhang Liang, order your deputy general Zhao Zhi to lead 10,000 infantry to defend the camp!"”
Order Zhao Zhi to defend the camp?
Zhang Liang didn't understand for a moment and asked,""Is it because Zhang Gongjin won a great victory and our army seized Youzhou City?”
Li Ji was about to answer when he heard the messenger outside the door shout,""Great General, the entire army has been assembled.”
Li Ji shouted," All troops, except Zhang Liang's troops, retreat to Han City. Other than your weapons, you are not allowed to bring any supplies!”
"Li Ji, what the hell are you doing? Why did you suddenly retreat?!" Cheng Yaojin shouted. Where did you put the emperor's decree?!"
"Great General, what happened?" Zhang Liang asked. Speak clearly!"
Li Ji paid no attention to the two of them. He left the tent, mounted his warhorse, and prepared to retreat.
Cheng Yaojin ran over and grabbed the reins of Li Ji's warhorse, shouting,""Li Ji, what happened?"
Zhang Liang also ran over and said,"Great General, if you don't explain clearly, Cheng Yaojin and I can't obey!"”
Li Ji's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and said,""Zhang Gongjin has been defeated. We don't know whether he's dead or alive. The garrison of Youzhou City is about to attack the camp.”
"What is it? Zhang Gongjin was defeated? Why didn't I know?!" Cheng Yaojin shouted crazily.
Li Ji shook his head and said," I was wrong. I was wrong from the beginning to the end. My opponent was not Li Chengdao at all."
A teenager wouldn't be able to see through people's hearts so well, wouldn't be able to plan so far ahead, and wouldn't be able to use such tactics.
What a respectable and terrifying opponent!
Perhaps Li Jing can fight against him!"
At this moment, a scout reported.
"Great General, a troop of at least 50,000 people has rushed out of Youzhou City.”
Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin's faces stiffened. They could not believe what was happening in front of them.
Zhang Liang thought of something and asked,"Why did you let Zhao Zhi guard the camp?" Retreat together!"
" A strong man will cut off his wrists," Li Ji said indifferently." Leave 10,000 men to distract the garrison of Youzhou City. Perhaps the army will be able to retreat safely!"”
With that, he shook the reins and turned around.
When he learned that there was a strange movement in Youzhou City, he knew that Zhang Gongjin had been defeated. He could only take advantage of the time difference to protect the remaining troops.
As for defending the main camp, it was impossible. All 40,000 cavalrymen had been wiped out, and they had no mobility at all. How could they fight against Li Chengdao? They could only go to Han City and rely on the city walls to fight.
It had to be said that Li Ji was indeed worthy of being a famous general of the era. He had made the most accurate judgment in the shortest time possible and preserved his last chance of survival.
An hour later, Luo Yi led an army of 50,000 and surrounded the Tang army camp.
Two hours later, Zhang Gongjin's hundreds of defeated soldiers joined Li Ji's team. Cheng Yaojin and the others learned of Zhang Gongjin's defeat and death.
In Hekou Town, the Thirteen Gangsters were leading the army to clean up the battlefield and eliminate the last Tang army.
"Advisor Jun, are we going to deal with Li Ji next?" Li Chengdao asked Han Xin.”
"Li Ji should have already retreated. Our army won't be able to catch up!" Han Xin shook his head.”
At this point, the results of Li Ji vs Han Xin, the master of the art of war vs the immortal soldier had been decided.
In the end, Li Ji's 40,000 cavalry were all lost, and his 10,000 infantry were trapped in the camp, their chances of survival slim.
In their first match, Han Xin won!
