Luo Tianbao nodded immediately after hearing this, and the father and son continued to talk about business. After they were all done, Luo Tianbao came out of the study and couldn't help but feel quite emotional. Everyone in the world thinks that people in the world go their own way without restraint, but in fact there are a lot of things involved.

, but after all, he and Lin Yunfei are father and son. Even if Luo Tianbao disapproves of many of his father's actions, Luo Tianbao will not openly stand against him. So that night, when Luo Tianbao saw that everything was fine, he invited Bai Jinting to his residence for dinner. Senior Brother

The two made a pot of wine and some side dishes and chatted while eating.

During this period, Luo Tianbao explained to Bai Jinting the difficulties of his father and son, and also expressed some of his own thoughts. Bai Jinting nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Tianbao, you are a kind person. Fourth brother knows this. In fact, we don't have to force Master.

It doesn’t matter what I do, I’m just thinking about the overall situation.”

Luo Tianbao heard this and nodded and said: "Fourth brother, I understand what you mean. In fact, I also feel that I cannot fall out with the court at the moment, but you also know that I am not the one in charge at the moment. My father is quite stubborn on this matter. I hope

Fourth brother, please give me a little more time, and I will have the opportunity to slowly persuade him, and maybe he can change his mind. As for the court, I hope that fourth brother can help me deal with it."

"Don't worry about this, Tianbao. We are from the same sect. We can't ignore the safety of my uncle and you. We will put in a good word for you at the court."

“So best.”

Speaking of this, Bai Jinting seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, I heard that Tianbao will lead your troops south to fight against the rebels soon?"

"It's true."

"I heard that the rebels are coming this time. Can you handle it? How about fourth brother accompanying you to the south?"

Luo Tianbao heard this and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, marching and fighting are different from martial arts competitions. To put it bluntly, fourth brother, you may not be able to help even if you go, so you should stay in Yichang to accompany me.

Dad."

Bai Jinting and Luo Tianbao have a good friendship, and they are free and humorous by nature, so they have no scruples in talking to each other. The "Sword Fairy Boy" thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, Tianbao, you are now more knowledgeable than Fourth Brother and me about this matter.

Then I will wait for good news in Yichang, but Tianbao, you should be more careful when you go."

After hearing this, Luo Tianbao nodded repeatedly, and thus temporarily arranged the affairs in Yichang. Three days later, Luo Tianbao officially led four thousand troops to march south. This time, Lin Yunfei spent a lot of money and mobilized all the elites he could muster.

, quite a bit of a fight to the death.

Originally Luo Tianbao didn't plan to take his apprentice Wen Kai with him because he thought he was too young, but the latter insisted on going, and even said that he could compete with the soldiers and not mention it if he lost. Pan Hong and others

Everyone had a lot of affection for him after getting along with him, so he came forward to lobby for him. Luo Tianbao thought that Wen Kai also had good intentions and wanted to contribute to the teacher's sect, and his current ability was really better than that of many soldiers.

Logically speaking, these people could go, but he couldn't, so Luo Tianbao had no choice but to agree and let him be his personal entourage to run errands. Wen Kai was quite happy to know that.

Soon the army arrived in Yinan and met up with Li Congyun's troops. According to Lin Yunfei's original plan, Li Congyun was the commander-in-chief of this battle and Luo Tianbao was his deputy. However, Li Congyun understood that Luo Tianbao was the young master, and he would be able to conquer the rebel army in the future.

Because his status was extraordinary, he didn't dare to be expert, but he was respectful to Luo Tianbao when he saw him.

Luo Tianbao was actually a little helpless about this. With his style, he did not want to use his identity as a young master to oppress others. Moreover, he also knew that Li Congyun was a well-known general in the rebel army. When it came to marching and fighting, the other party was much more expert than him.

, I should listen to others, but before setting off, Lin Yunfei also specifically told his son that Li Congyun was a reduced general after all. Although he had made many military exploits since his surrender, whether he could be relied on at critical moments was still a question, so Lin Yunfei asked Luo Tianbao to do this.

He wanted to monitor him more, and deal with it first if there was any abnormality, without asking for instructions. Although Luo Tianbao did not think that Li Congyun would be half-hearted, after all, it was related to the life and death of the rebel army and his own father and son, so Luo Tianbao still had to maintain a certain airs in front of Li Congyun.

.

After the two met, they exchanged some pleasantries, and then Luo Tianbao asked about the battle situation on the front line. Li Congyun immediately gave a brief introduction. Originally, the rebel army and the Dongzhou Army once controlled many areas in the northeast of Hezhou, but since

After the Dayou Army launched a counterattack this time, the coalition forces suffered successive defeats. Li Congyun was a veteran general. When he analyzed the situation and defended Hezhou, it would be detrimental to his own side, so he took the initiative to shrink his troops back to the north bank of the river and gave up on Hezhou.

territory.

Although the Great You Army gained some advantages in this way, they also understood that it would be very difficult to forcefully cross the river and even if they could win, they would have to pay the price of pride. Therefore, they have been standing still for this period of time, and the two sides are just across the river.

There was a stalemate. Originally, if this situation was maintained for a long time, there would be no harm to the rebel army, but Li Congyun understood that the Dayou Army was actually waiting, because winter was coming soon, and the river would freeze by then.

Li Congyun could cross the river in a big way, but Li Congyun's existing troops could not resist him at that time, so he asked Yichang for help again and again.

Although Luo Tianbao was a bodyguard, he had been fighting in the past six months, so he already had some ideas about military affairs. When he analyzed the situation, it was indeed quite critical as Li Congyun said, so he hurriedly asked: "General Li, what do you think?

Is there any countermeasure?"

"Yes, there is, but it's a bit risky. The general really doesn't dare to make the decision without authorization."

"Let's talk about it. As long as it works, I will make the decision for you. Even if it doesn't work in the future, I will bear the responsibility."

What Li Congyun wanted was Luo Tianbao's words, and he immediately said: "Since you said so, Sima, let me make it clear. Judging from the current situation, if our army insists on holding on, it will be more dangerous than ever. The only hope of victory is to cross the river first and take the initiative."

We will have a decisive battle with the rebels on the south bank of the river. If we win, the situation may turn around."

Luo Tianbao was shocked when he heard this. When fighting a war, it is important to have the right time, place, and people. Currently, there are more rebels than rebels, and their fighting power is stronger. The most important thing is to cross the river to fight. This is a taboo for military strategists no matter what.

, to put it harshly is no different from seeking death. Luo Tianbao couldn’t figure out why Li Congyun came up with this idea.

Li Congyun understood after looking at Luo Tianbao's face, and immediately explained: "This plan does seem a bit dangerous, but at the moment we are outnumbered by the rebels, and there is a huge disparity in numbers. If we use troops according to common sense, it is difficult to win, because

The only solution now is to win by surprise."

Luo Tianbao also had some experience in using troops at this time. When he thought about what Li Congyun said, it was not unreasonable, but he did not dare to make a rash decision on such a risky matter, so he said to Li Congyun: "I just came here, and many things are not clear yet.

How about allowing me to think twice about this plan?"

Li Congyun also understood that Luo Tianbao could not be expected to make an immediate decision on this kind of matter, and immediately said: "That is natural, but the opportunity cannot be missed and will not come again. Now that winter is approaching, I hope Sima will make a decision soon."
