As for why he had the courage to use this forged imperial edict to deceive people?

In normal times, I absolutely dare not. Forging the imperial edicts in any dynasty is an unforgivable sin in any dynasty.

Although Li Jing likes him, if he really dares to play fake imperial edicts, the first person to jump out to punish him is the saint today.

But now is an extraordinary period, and Li Jing’s situation is unclear. To put it bluntly, he doesn’t know life or death.

If you are racing against time, you can fool it for a while. No matter how many years you are, you have to squeeze out the biggest oil and water from Maxijia first.

On the one hand, instead of destroying Ma Xijia, it is better to find a way to get him back to his own ship.

Langzhou City simply doesn't want it.

In that case, as long as a few troops are sent to defend Changsha, the Xiongwu army will be able to free up their hands to return to Wuchang.

In addition, Ma Xijia, as Ma Yin's oldest son, has a high prestige in Ma Chu.

If you really catch it and kill it with one knife, it will certainly be good in terms of military merit.

But there is no one to control Liu Yan of Wuping Army and Sun Lang of Jingjiang Army.

They hurried to the southwest and southeast of Machu, and the Southern Tang army could not conquer, but they could use the terrain and people's expectations to repeatedly attack and harass them after Bian Hao returned to the army.

Now that Ma Xijia is left with his life, he can at least shock those two people.

There is no longer enough time to digest Ma Chu, and it is Li Yu's top priority to be able to maintain a short period of stability.

Besides, if the generals do not grant foreign military orders, they will implement extraordinary methods in extraordinary times, first stabilize the situation, then lead the Xiongwu Army to attack Jiangning, or use other methods to protect Li Jing's throne, then this small sin will disappear.

After all, isn’t this just that my son’s fake drunk father’s handwriting and signed the failed test paper?

The nature is almost the same.

...Asolutely, two fake imperial edicts deceived them in a daze.

After reading it, Ma Xijia's eyes shimmered a little.

Originally, when he only had a piece of land like Langzhou, his power was at a disadvantage compared to the Southern Tang army in Changsha, even compared with Liu Yan and Sun Lang.

Moreover, the two of them usually get along with each other, and it is not impossible to send troops to swallow Langzhou together if they are not doing it well.

So this is why he was unwilling to accept the order before.

Seeing that Li Yu now had the intention of extending an olive branch, Ma Xijia felt that this seemed to be an opportunity for him.

Although this kid is only thirteen years old, he looks very poor.

But as the main figure in the battle between the horses, Ma Xijia has a lot of experience in fighting for the throne. It is very simple to say that fighting for the throne is the first to have a status in the emperor's heart, and secondly, there must be soldiers in his hands.

Of course, the most important thing is that the person who fights the throne is a character and has this ambition.

Like his elder brother, he had a great future, but he ran to become a Taoist priest. He didn't know what his elder nephew thought about it...

Ma Xijia compared Li Yu's current situation according to these points, and felt that this kid didn't seem to have a chance now, but after careful consideration, it was not the case.

He came out to be a military supervisor at the age of thirteen, and when he was in Jiangning City, he had a lot of responsibilities. He was also a famous poet all over the world. If he had such a son, who was a father didn’t like it?

He also named Bian Hao and asked him to allocate 10,000 people to establish a new army for him. The thirteen-year-old general was definitely my favorite.

As for the personal ability and spirit shown by slandering everyone after entering the city alone today, Ma Xijia felt a little ashamed of himself.

So now instead of hudging in Langzhou City and waiting to be swallowed up by other families, it is better to give it a try.

"My Me, Ma Xijia, I wish to be the king as the chief."

"My minister, Zhang Shaodi, was originally the king."

"My minister Yuan Yougong, I wish to be the king as the chief."

"Okay, please come up with three of you. Li Yu swears here that if there is that day, I will never forget your actions today."

"Thank you"

"Okay, let's get up, this matter is limited to the four of you and I. I only say that you are willing to be the governor of Wuping Army. I have my own way to persuade the general to withdraw, but you must do two things too."

"Please speak with the king"

"One time I come and express my gratitude, I will write this now. I will hand it to Jieshuai as a token of your complete surrender. Second, I will take away an army from you."

“??”

Seeing that they looked puzzled, Li Yu explained, "Why can I persuade the general Jie to withdraw? Before this expedition, the saint issued another secret order. Although Ma Chu was in chaos, he was a minor illness. The Tang Dynasty's confidant was in the north. At present, the three Jiedus and Guo Wei were fighting fiercely. If our army had taken advantage of Nanping!"

"Then the land in southern Shaanxi belongs to the Tang Dynasty?"

“That’s right!”

Ma Xijia thought for a while and said, "King, I'm not sure about it. His subordinates only have 25,000 imperial guards. There are so many soldiers in other states, military and rural areas. Since the army is about to retreat, there will never be too many troops left in Changsha City. This mobile support force is insufficient."

Swallowed and continued

"Liu Yan, Sun Lang is ambitious. The two sides have been hooking up for a long time. My father is fashionable and able to suppress them. Now I am afraid that I am not afraid of taking it seriously. So for the sake of self-protection, Langzhou must leave 20,000 people. Otherwise, as long as Liu Yan and Sun Lang join forces, Langzhou City will be destroyed."

"So you can only allocate five thousand?"

"Yes, I am ashamed"

"Well, although five thousand is not much, what you said is indeed reasonable. If Langzhou is swallowed by Liu Yan and others, I will be in vain."

"Commander Zhang Du, please hand over the former army to the king."

"yes"

Zhang Shaodi immediately called a commander to order him to call all the main officers in the front wing.

Then, in front of Ma Xijia and these intermediate generals, they handed all the tiger talisman seals into Li Yu's hands, and clearly stated that from now on, all the front-wing troops will be governed by Li Yu.

Although everyone was shocked by the intermediate generals, they were brought out by Zhang Shaodi, so they naturally followed the orders.

Afterwards, Ma Xijia ordered the city gate to open and send Li Yu away.

...

"Reporting to the commander of the festival, the gate of Langzhou City opened, and there was a faint light of soldiers and armor inside." Zhuzi rushed into the camp.

When Bian Hao heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Sent the whole army to form a formation to fight at any time."

"Lu Zhi, I'm afraid that something went wrong with the king. When the battle begins, remember to pay attention to the whereabouts of the king!" Bian Hao frowned and frowned.

"I will understand it in the end"

...In Langzhou City, Li Yu and Zhang Xiaosong rode slowly out of the city. The white horse under his crotch was still a horse armored horse, and it was also used to flatter him at this moment.

Zhang Xiaosong took the lead and shouted: "The king is safe and sound. Ma Xijia sent 5,000 troops to serve as the king's guard. Don't misunderstand me."

...

Li Yu also turned around and said to Ma Xijia's general, "You should leave the city slowly first, it will be a bad idea if you cause a misunderstanding."

Bian Hao almost fell down immediately after hearing Zhang Xiaosong's words.

Li Yu came to Bian Hao's side by horse, but he didn't go into the big tent and just told the matter roughly.

Bian Hao was amazed, "The king is not as good as Zhang Liang, and this strategy of unity and unity is that Su Qin will not be able to catch up with him again."

"Hey, hey, it's not a question - the dog lifts the curtain - all depends on one mouth. Jieshuai quickly draws out a camp and lets the Ma Chu army camp. In addition, ask the general to bother to allocate 10,000 people to me as soon as possible, so that I can mix the two armies together. I'm still a little worried about these Chu Jun alone."

Bian Hao nodded and agreed.

After Li Yu supervised the army, Ma Chu, he would lead the army alone. Li Jing had explained this matter in his secret decree to Bian Hao.

As for the establishment of the new First Army, it must be approved by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

This is a necessary procedure for others, but Li Yu, Bian Hao can completely ignore it.

Liu Renshan, the Minister of War, was Bian Hao Bole, and also Li Jing's loyalty.

As for the Privy Council, haha, isn’t it Li Jing’s own private yamen and wine friends club?

When he returned to his tent, Li Yu was immediately stuck on the bed and couldn't even say a word.

This afternoon conversation seemed easy and simple, but it actually took countless thoughts. The entire negotiation process was true and false, and sometimes he couldn't figure out whether what he said was a fact or made up by himself.

But finally, the problem was solved very well.

Ma Xijia was stabilized, and Langzhou City and Changsha City were mutually supportive, which was enough to suppress the ambitious Liu Yan and Sun Lang.

After Bian Hao's Xiongwu Army had 10,000 troops, its military strength increased to nearly 80,000 for the first time!

Changsha was simply broken, and all the elite soldiers of Mahiding in the city were returned to Bian Hao, and a number of strong soldiers were selected from the provincial soldiers in the countryside to serve as masters. The elite soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were incorporated into the Xiongwu Army.

In this way, even if 20,000 troops were stationed in Changsha City, Bian Hao could still lead an army of 60,000 to leave Ma Chu!

Sixty thousand real combat soldiers!

After the battle between Ma Chu, the Xiongwu Army not only did not lose its strength, but instead had Changsha as a logistics base!

The population, food and military equipment are constantly being provided with energy.

Even if Wuchang falls temporarily, the Xiongwu Army can maintain its ability to continue fighting.

...

What surprised Bian Hao and others even more was that Li Yu entered the city alone to settle the Langzhou issue and cleared the worries in front of him for the army to return to the army.
To be continued...
