Chapter 336(2/2)
Wang Shichong already had great trust in Lu Heng, so Lu Heng gave a strategy that was relatively contrary to common sense, and Wang Shichong was likely to listen.
On the contrary, if Huo Yunying and Li Hongyun asked Dou Jiande to stand still and not attack Meng Jiong, that would make him suspicious.
After all, in Dou Jiande's eyes, Meng Jiong was not a strong enemy.
On the contrary, the two of them had a heated battle and first put a high hat on Dou Jiande, making him think that if he wanted to dominate the world, he must first destroy Meng Jiong, and the success rate of deception would be higher.
Most of the deceitful generals in Xia's army obviously agreed to attack Meng Jiong first.
So Dou Jiande decided to attack Meng Jiong first, and then Wang Shichong!
He and Wang Shichong started this war in the script carefully designed by the players.
…
Outside Jinyang City.
Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang rode on war horses and looked at the Liang army in the distance.
"Hahaha, it seems that the people of Liang State are really confused. There are so many generals that are not needed, but a woman is allowed to guard Jinyang!
"In the past few days, Princess Pingyang has been unable to hold out. Our troops can come and go freely and win battles repeatedly.
"Liang Guo finally sent more troops to rescue, but still let Princess Pingyang lead the troops? How ridiculous!
"It seems that we don't need to take action at all. Even if Yuchi Jingde leads an army, it will be enough to defeat Liang Jun!"
After that, he looked at Yuchi Jingde who was following respectfully behind him: "Tell me, how should we fight this battle?"
Yuchi Jingde said proudly: "I would like to lead a partial division and go back behind Liang Jun. When Liang Jun attacks, we can attack from the front and back, and we can defeat it in one battle!"
"When the time comes, Jinyang will be in the bag!"
Liu Wuzhou was very happy: "Okay! That's exactly what I meant!"
In his opinion, the plan was perfect.
Yuchi Jingde was a veteran who had been fighting by his side and was deeply trusted. Although his status was slightly lower than Song Jingang's, his ability to command operations was stronger than Song Jingang's.
Moreover, Song Jingang is also more suitable for playing head-on.
It was not like they had done nothing before Jinyang City. Yuchi Jingde had been leading the cavalry to raid the surrounding counties and achieved fruitful results.
It seems that in cavalry field battles, Yuchi Jingde is invincible.
Now, although Liang Jun sent reinforcements, the supreme commander of the entire battlefield is still Princess Pingyang, a woman.
Liu Wuzhou was very sure that as long as Liang Jun dared to take the initiative to attack, he and Song Jingang could withstand the front.
Yuchi Jingde then used his cavalry to outflank and attack from both front and rear. Liang Jun would definitely be defeated, and there would be no suspense in this battle.
At that time, Liang Guo's operations in the entire Hedong area, the territory, cities, supplies, and soldiers left behind will all be advantageous to them.
Therefore, Liu Wuzhou confidently handed over most of his elite cavalry to the command of Yuchi Jingde, asking him to outflank and find the best opportunity to fight Liang Jun.
…
On the other side, Dou Jiande was very depressed.
Because after repeated battles, he found that Meng Jiong turned out to be a tough nut to crack!
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Wang Shichong launched an attack. Dou Jiande suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat.
Then there was a somewhat embarrassing stalemate on the battlefield.
Neither side was sure of taking Meng Jiong directly, but Meng Jiong didn't even intend to take refuge with any of them, and was just wasting his time with them.
Because Meng Jiong in history was the ultimate fool. Faced with Dou Jiande's 100,000-strong army, he continued to fight for four months until he was captured before bowing his head and admitting defeat.
Now he is in the gap between Zheng and Xia, he can jump left and right, and he will not give in easily.
On the battlefield at this time, Wang Shichong had a relative advantage, but it was unrealistic to say that Meng Jiong would be destroyed first, and then Dou Jiande.
Wang Shichong urged Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, to send secret messages to Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie every day, asking them to seize the time to betray and deal with Dou Jiande once and for all.
But Lu Heng just excused himself, saying that the time had not come yet, and he had to find a big battle that could decide the world in one fight before starting.
During this stalemate, Wang Shichong received news that shocked him.
Liang Jun sent troops from Chang'an to attack Luoyang!
And this time, King Qi and King Wei are working together!
Wang Shichong led a large army to conquer Dou Jiande. There were not many combatable troops around Luoyang, so the Liang Kingdom's King Qi and King Wei were overwhelmingly powerful with their superior troops, and Luoyang was in danger.
Wang Shichong was stunned.
Because if the troops retreat at this time, the Xia army will definitely come to pursue them, and then they will be out of control.
He angrily went to question Wei Zheng.
Didn’t you say that Liang Guo was dealing with Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, so they wouldn’t come to fight me?
Lu Heng had already expected such a situation, so he was not panicked.
"Don't panic, Mr. Zheng.
"Liang Guo's behavior is indeed a bit unreasonable and unexpected.
"But of course I have already planned a countermeasure."
Seeing Wang Shichong's doubtful expression, Lu Heng smiled slightly and continued: "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, Liang Guo's coming this time only seems to be huge. In fact, it is impossible to really come with the entire country's troops."
Wang Shichong was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Judging from the battle report, Liang Jun seemed to be attacking with great force this time.
But it’s hard to say exactly how many people there are.
When marching and fighting in the era of cold weapons, it is difficult to estimate the number of enemies. Many armies only have a few hundred thousand people and dare to claim to be a million. The water injection is serious, and it is also to bluff people.
Therefore, Wang Shichong was not sure how many people came from Liang State.
Lu Heng explained: "Mr. Zheng, which side do you think is more important from the perspective of Liang Guo?
"Is Jinyang, the place where they raised their troops, more important, or Luoyang?"
Wang Shichong thought for a while and said immediately: "Of course Jinyang is more important."
For the Liang State, Jinyang was the place where they raised their troops. It could be said to be their base camp and rear area.
And from a geographical point of view, the Hedong area where Jinyang is located is too important. It is a barrier against the Turks in the north and the Hebei forces in the east. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once lost, it will be even more difficult to get it back.
And what about Luoyang?
First of all, Luoyang is a fortified city and it is difficult to conquer quickly. As for the places around Luoyang, it is basically undefeable. Even if it is captured, it will be flat once the enemy army arrives.
Lu Heng nodded: "So, for Liang Guo, Jinyang is what they must defend, and they must win this battle.
"But the attack on Luoyang is more like a test. Deliberately making a big fanfare, attacking with force, plundering and then leaving, it is impossible to really fight with us."
"If Mr. Zheng lost his sense of caution at this time and rushed back all the way, he would have fallen into a trap. Then Dou Jiande will chase after him, and he will regret it too much!"
Wang Shichong was a little confused. He thought for a while: "In my opinion, what should I do?"
Lu Heng said: "This matter is easy to handle. Please give me a partial army to support me. I have my own way to defend Luoyang Fort."
"Before leaving, I sent a secret message to Generals Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie.
"Mr. Zheng, you are pretending to take the army back to Luoyang, and Dou Jiande will definitely come after you. Gong Zheng only needs to ambush on the road, and with the help of generals Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie, they will be able to defeat Dou Jiande in one battle!"
