    "Although I say that, the military discipline of the Yan State army has been weakened for a long time. There is no fighting spirit at the top and bottom. I'm afraid they want to do something bad."

    Although they had not been in Yan State for long, Li Guang couldn't help but feel bad for them when he saw the troops of Yan State training.

    "Without bloodshed, how would they know how valuable the land is? They can help for a while, but they can't help forever. The Yan Kingdom will ultimately have to rely on themselves!"

    Liu Deng¡¯s opinion was exactly the opposite of Li Guang¡¯s. No matter who gave the order to retreat, the reasons behind it were actually the same.

    The imperial court was too tolerant towards the Yan State. Every time Wuhuan invaded, the imperial court always sent troops to help.

    Every time the army came, they suffered heavy casualties, and they were on the front line every time. The Yan army was only used as a support.

    Too little blood was shed, so in their eyes the land even became a bargaining chip that could be exchanged.

    But Liu Deng was not willing to spoil them. If he wanted to regain the lost ground, he would risk his own life.

    "Then let's do what the king wants. It's just that our army still needs to send an army to supervise the battle. Otherwise, if they really retreat, we will be trapped in a tight siege."

    Although the Daiguo army plus Luan Bu and the others are not necessarily afraid of these Wuhuan people, it will be somewhat of a trouble if those Wuhuan people do not attack.

    "No need, the men of Yanzhao have been generous and tragic people since ancient times. They have the passion in their bones. In addition, the armament is not bad. What they lack is just the will to die. When the food and grass arrive tomorrow, you can lead the army and just do it."  Head to Yuanbao Mountain!"

    "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

    Li Guang¡¯s eyes suddenly widened, and he had a bad feeling.

    "Leave five hundred guards for me, and I will go personally to supervise the battle."

    Liu Deng said lightly.

    "Your Majesty, you must not do it. You have just caused such a scene today. If Liu Dingguo holds a grudge, the consequences may be disastrous among the rebellious army."

    Li Guang hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

    "Don't forget that I am the commander-in-chief this time. I am in the midst of thousands of troops. How dare he let anything happen to me? If he loses his command in front of the battle, the whole army will be killed! This rule has been in place since the founding of the Han Dynasty until now.  So far, it has never been broken, does he still dare to try it himself?"

    Liu Deng is not worried about his own safety. After all, their most important thing this time is to defend the city.

    As long as we can hold our ground on the front lines of Pingquan County and Bailang County, the Wuhuan people will be forced to retreat.

    And when that time comes, the armies of the two countries will naturally be able to attack from both front and back.

    With the greedy habits of those Wuhuan people, they would definitely be reluctant to give up the loot they now have.

    When the cavalry of Dai and Luan Bu join forces, it will be enough for them to drink a pot.

    "That's what the king said, but if he takes the risk"

    Although Li Guang has not had much dealings with Liu Dingguo, just looking at his behavior, he already feels that this person must not be underestimated.

    Judging from the intelligence compiled by all parties, this guy is ruthless. The reason why he planned this withdrawal is to completely destroy Liu An's power.

    Facts have proved that his operation was indeed successful. The connections Liu An had managed to gather over the years were almost destroyed in this operation.

    If there is no external intervention, Liu An will no longer have the capital to compete with Liu Dingguo from now on.

    "Okay, don't worry. If you are really worried, leave me 500 Modao troops, plus 500 cavalry. With them, where in the world can't you go?"

    Liu Deng waved his hand and directly interrupted Li Guang's words.

    "But"

    Li Guang wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Liu Deng.

    In desperation, he could only accept it first

    "Then the king must be careful!"

    Li Guang has been with Liu Deng for more than a day or two. He has a very good understanding of Liu Deng's character. As long as Liu Deng decides something, no matter what he says, there will basically be no consequences.  .

    So he had no choice but to agree first, but still gave a somewhat uneasy warning.

    "Okay, don't worry. You go down and prepare first. When the food and grass arrive tomorrow, you will lead the army and set off early the day after tomorrow. If there is an emergency, you can discuss the matter with General Luan Bu. By the way, this little guy  Give it to you?¡±

    While Liu Deng was speaking, he took out a palm-sized object from his arms and handed it to Li Guang.

    "What is this?"

    Li Guang took it and looked at it for a long time, but he still didn¡¯t understand what it was.

    A metal disc the size of a palm is covered with a layer of glass. It seems to contain some unknown liquid, and there is also a strange cross-shaped needle.

    "This is called a compass. Look at the red end, it always points to the north, and the blue end is always due south. This side is west and this side is east."

    Liu Deng smiled and explained the use of the compass to Li Guang.

    In the original history, Li Guang's life was actually very pitiful. He met Emperor Wen of Han when he was young, and Emperor Wen liked to use veteran generals.

    No matter what, he could not get the emperor's favor. After Emperor Jing came to power, he rarely had any major frictions with the Huns.

    Even Zhou Yafu and Cheng did not know such famous generals, so they could only stand aside and watch the fun, let alone Li Guang.

    It was not easy to survive until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked those young generals.

    Whether it is Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, or Li Ling, they were all favored by the emperor when they were young.

    And Li Guang followed Wei Qing on several expeditions, but he got lost on the grassland all the time.

    I have to say, this is really the time and destiny.

    Liu Deng was really worried that Li Guang would be lost at the critical moment, so he specially ordered someone to make this compass.

    "With this thing, you really don't have to worry about the direction."

    Li Guang suddenly became energetic.

    "This thing is easy to use, but you still need to be careful when using it and check it carefully several times. If you encounter Cishan, this thing will not work well."

    Although the compass is easy to use, it is not omnipotent. Liu Deng simply took this opportunity to give Li Guang some science knowledge on how to find direction in the wild.

    From watching movies with a pole, to observing plants, to observing stars at night, he told him almost everything he knew.

    "It turns out that there is such a wonderful method in this world. Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for your guidance."

    Although these things were commonplace in later generations, in this day and age, to Li Guang, they really feel like they have found a treasure.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
