Chapter 979 Send troops to Shandong!
Song Wensong raised an army to raid Huainan Road. This time he learned his lesson. First, he dispatched all the cavalry under his command.
Huainan has many plains, and the cavalry has an unparalleled advantage. Last time, Song Wensong despised Huainan and thought that he wanted to take Yiru by the mere Huainan. He did not expect that he would encounter obstacles as soon as he got up. Sun's family was able to operate in Huainan for such a long time. He was indeed capable, not an easy person!
If Song Wensong wanted to make a move, his plan to attack failed. At that time, he realized the preciousness of cavalry. Yes, for Song Wensong now, every cavalry is a treasure, and these cavalry are the chassis for him to fight Lu Zheng in the future, or in Liaodong.
But now that the cavalry of Huainan Road can play a big role, Song Wensong has all the cavalry! In addition, Song Wensong also counted tens of thousands of people in this regard. Because of the last setback, he understood a truth, that is, even if a lion fights with rabbits, he needs to use all his strength, and did the Sun family occupy Huainan for many years?
However, as the saying goes, planning is in people, and success is in heaven. Even if Song Wensong has thought of everything, he still has something that cannot be predicted. The first thing he did not expect was that he thought that his actions would be very sudden this time, and the Sun family in Huainan must have been unprepared.
Because now Song Wensong and Sun have nominally surrendered to the Jiangnan court, and they both respect Long Zhaohuan as His Majesty! In this case, if Song Wensong violated Sun privately, wouldn’t he not obey the emperor’s order? He did not take the Emperor Long Zhaohuan seriously? In this case, Sun would not have thought that Long Zhaohuan would dare to take such a big risk to do this!
However, Song Wensong did not expect that Lu Zheng would know the news of his rebellion. Lu Zheng quickly sent people to Huainan to tell the Sun family that Song Wensong, the Shandong Army, personally led tens of thousands of troops to seek Huainan Road. When Song Wensong's army approached Huainan Road, he found that Huainan Road was already facing a great enemy and the Sun family was already on guard.
Although Song Wensong was strong, he came from afar. Although the losses were weak, they were prepared and waited for work. Once the two sides fought, Song Wensong had not yet gained the absolute advantage.
What annoyed Song Wensong even more was that he was advancing on Huainan Road and the battle was in full swing. At this time, Jeju suddenly heard an urgent report, and eight hundred miles were expedited. Li Xiu from Liaodong led a large army to suddenly invade the border, and the cavalry had already entered Shandong. The defenses of the cities in Shandong were tight, and almost no one could stop Li Xiu's iron cavalry.
After receiving this urgent report, Song Wensong was so shocked that his eyes were about to roll out of his sockets. He said, "How is it possible? Li Xiu was clearly in the Two Rivers, how did he run to Liaodong?
Is there a feint in the Liaodong army that caused all the plants and trees on the border? I passed my order, let Ma Shun and Hua Yun lead troops from Jeju to send troops to help! Even if Lu Zheng has three heads and six arms, his main force is in Jiangnan, and it is impossible for the only Liaodong army to challenge our Shandong army! It is very likely that this army is strong from outside and the middle!"
After all, Song Wensong is a man of a long battle. Although he is very scared of Lu Zheng, he is very clear about military affairs. On the one hand, Lu Zheng is attacking Jiangnan, while the other team is besieging the capital. At this time, Liaodong sends troops to attack Shandong again, which can defeat Shandong. Song Wensong has been in vain for many years.
"It is obvious that Lu Zheng is another plan to siege Wei and save Zhao! He thought that I would return to help in attacking Shandong, but this time I would not go back. This urgent report cannot be sent out, and no general can know the news!
In addition, I am entrusting my order, and the army will move forward tomorrow morning, and we will take Huaiyang at any cost, so that all Huainan Road will be under my control!"
Song Wensong was still attacking Huainan in a rush despite being invaded by Shandong. At this time, Li Xiu, who was rushing to Liaodong to send troops, was also a little annoyed. You must know that he didn't have much rest for so many days. He ran north and died, and then rushed to Shengjing to send troops.
This time it was very difficult to send troops. It was very difficult to attack Shandong from Liaodong. First of all, the troops were insufficient. Second, Shandong has been well managed in recent years, and the defenses of the cities in the north are very strict.
Li Xiu's sending troops this time is more strategic than practical, so he is unwilling to fight all the main force, but he cannot win if he doesn't fight hard. It's very rare for him to do so!
There was no way, and he immediately reported the situation of the war to Lu Zheng. When Lu Zheng received the urgent report in Bianzhou, he was furious and said, "Is this Li Xiu scared Song Wensong? If Song Wensong wants to believe that I want to take Shandong from Liaodong, I must move forward desperately and fight for me, otherwise Song Wensong would not return to support at all. Song Wensong is extremely cunning. What is the use of ordinary tricks to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
When Lu Zheng was angry, a counselor immediately came forward to persuade him. Qi Yuanzhi said, "It's not easy for Li Xiu to calm down! He ran from the front line alone and prepared horses along the way. It is said that there were more than ten horses he ran to death.
After arriving, he immediately ordered his troops to go out without any ease. When he encountered a strong soldier when he went out, he would inevitably be at a loss! The prince should not be angry at this time, but should explain the power in the middle to him clearly, and then let him use the troops by himself. I believe that Li Xiu was so respected by the prince, and he must be not an ordinary person!
He will definitely be able to use his troops well and will not let down the prince's expectations!"
When Lu Zheng heard Qi Yuanzhi say this, he thought about it and felt it was reasonable. The generals were not allowed to accept the orders of the outside king. Besides, there were not many Liaodong troops, and Shandong was strong in terms of troops, and Song Wensong was also full of powerful generals.
Although Song Wensong did his main force to attack Huainan Road this time, the troops he used to defend the northern border would definitely not be mobilized. In this case, even if Li Xiu fought directly with them, he might not be able to gain an absolute advantage. In this case, Lu Zheng made too many requests to him.
As soon as he thought of this, he personally wrote a letter to Li Xiu, in which he explained in detail the strategic purpose of this attack on Shandong. The core of the matter referred to Song Wensong and told Li Xiu that he wanted Song Wensong to believe in the danger of Shandong, so he must fight the danger!
There are Dezhou and Binzhou in northern Shandong. At least there must be a key point that falls into my hands. Only in this way can Shandong be shaken and Song Wensong become suspicious. Only in that case can the danger of Huainan Road be effectively relieved!
By the way, Li Xiu failed to get in and slept for two consecutive days before he recovered his vitality. Although he was young, he was a physical body and his body was not iron-clad. These days he was so tired that he could not go to the battlefield without resting for a while. So he was a little confused now. He simply camped the army and acted as if he was not attacking.
"General, the prince has written a letter!"
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, then bounced off the chair and said, "Hurry, bring it to me!"
This time Li Xiu sent troops. Sima was no one else, but Zhang Haoran, a son of the Zhang family. Zhang Haoran was very dissatisfied with Li Xiu these days, and made Li Xiu desperately attack the city, because only in this way could Song Wensong be frightened. Otherwise, once the Shandong army was allowed to test the reality of its own side, all the efforts would be wasted. There might be huge dangers in sending troops this time! Go to Tingshu.com
However, Li Xiu ignored Zhang Haoran's words at all and insisted on sending a letter to Lu Zheng. Now that the letter has come, he can't wait to open it and look at it. After he looked at it, a strange look appeared on his face and said to his left and right:
"Go, please come over and discuss matters!"
Zhang Haoran wore an official robe and entered the tent with high spirits. After seeing Li Xiu, he bowed with both hands and said, "General, come to me for discussion?"
Li Xiu laughed and said, "Sima Zhang, Sima Zhang, you lost! Didn't you tell me that if I send a letter to the prince, will he scold me?
The prince replied, and did not scold me, and did not scold me a single word. You lost!"
Zhang Haoran was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and said, "Where is the letter? Can you let me take a look?"
"That..." Li Xiu stammered for a moment, thinking that the prince did not scold him, but in the letter, the prince also emphasized the focus of this attack on Shandong, so that Li Xiu should not care about the troops, but should be unstoppable and constantly conquering cities and land. Only in this way can it shock Song Wensong and achieve the goal of sending troops this time.
I have to say that Zhang Haoran looks useless, but this kid is really good at it. At least he has a thorough understanding of Lu Zheng's intentions and has a good understanding of the enemy. He has considered Song Wensong's ideas very accurately.
"It's not that the letter is not for you to show, but now we are still focusing on sending troops! The prince said something, and he probably wanted us to attack the city! How do we attack the city now?"
When Zhang Haoran heard this, he couldn't help but beat his chest and stamped his feet: General Li, I advised you a few days ago, asking you to quickly send troops to attack the city and catch the enemy off guard. You just don't believe it, thinking that we don't have enough manpower and it is difficult to achieve miraculous results in siege.
Now, we have been stationed here for a few days. The defenders have already made preparations and are waiting for their hard work. At this time, it is more difficult for us to attack the city! General Li Xiu, it is too difficult now. How can we defeat the city if we only have 20,000 troops?
When Zhang Haoran said this, Li Xiu fell into silence and felt very unhappy, but he was the one who lost the opportunity to fight. Zhang Haoran did not wrong him, which made him even more annoyed!
"Is there no way? I, Li Xiu, have always been known for my bravery all my life. Others say that I have no strategy in war, but I don't believe it. This time, if I use strategy, I must conquer a city!"
Not to mention, when Li Xiu thought of this, he immediately lay on the Arhat's bed, looking at the sky, and trying desperately to countermeasures!
Zhang Haoran was so amused and laughed when he saw this scene, but he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a moment, thinking that this fact was tricky. After a while, Li Xiu suddenly jumped out of the bed and said:
"Zhang Haoran, didn't you say that Song Wensong is so powerful? I haven't sent troops for two days. I can attack Dezhou but I haven't moved. Song Wensong will definitely think that he is correct in his judgment. My sending troops is just a fake shot, right?
He had this mentality, which gave me the opportunity to use troops! At this time, I am afraid that the Shandong Army would be ineffective when I, Li Xiu, did not have the strength, so I think the fighter plane was not lost at this time, right?"
"Uh..." Zhang Haoran pondered for a long time after hearing Li Xiu's analysis, and said, "No, not bad! General Li's analysis makes great sense! In this way, our army deliberately did not attack. Although it is suspected of losing the opportunity, it also has the effect of paralyzing the opponent!
In this way, the other party thinks that we will relax with a shot. If we plan properly, we can still catch the other party off guard!"
Li Xiu laughed and waved his hand, "What does he mean to lose his fighter opportunity? I am just paralyzing the enemy!"
Li Xiu's words made Zhang Haoran frown and he couldn't help but curse shamelessly, but he didn't care about this little thing in his heart. The most important thing at the moment is to use troops to Shandong, which is not careless!
Li Xiu said: "Since this is the case, we will have an empty city plan for this camp. Tonight I will lead a large army to set off. We will not attack Dezhou, but will change the route to take Binzhou! We have cavalry, and we can arrive at Binzhou for at most two days. We will be in the middle of the day and walk at night. Anyway, we also have guides in the road conditions in this area. After we arrive in Binzhou, we will attack suddenly and will definitely be able to capture Binzhou in one go!"
Zhang Haoran stood up and said, "Okay. General Li's plan is amazing! I will sing this empty city plan. Even if you lead the troops out, I will leave a thousand people here to bluff and ensure that the Dezhou army will not relax!"
Li Xiu said: "Zhang Haoran, you are the prince's young master and the prince valued it very much! Let me tell you, empty city plans are risky! Shandong's generals are almost not as easy as possible. If you don't sing well, let his mother see the flaws. Once they lead troops to attack, you will be inseparable from death and no place to bury. Do you understand?"
Zhang Haoran laughed and said, "I, Zhang Haoran, are not a person who is afraid of death. Don't worry, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. Since I, Zhang Haoran, decided to be loyal to the prince in this life, what's wrong with death? I, Zhang Haoran, died for the prince and the battle for me in Liaodong!"
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Haoran with admiration and said, "Sima Zhang, I didn't expect that you, a study kid, could even say such generous words. Okay, I, Li Xiu, recognize you brother! From now on, you and I are brothers, and I will fart my words before!
From now on, you and I will live and die together! Today I will lead the troops out, and you can withdraw your troops in two days! Remember, you must guard for two days, no more or less! Do you know?"
Zhang Haoran was very focused, knowing in his heart that Li Xiu was considering him! Because if Zhang Haoran was really paralyzed, once the battle in Binzhou began, the Dezhou army would definitely know that it was deceived and would lead troops to seek war. If that were the case, how could Zhang Haoran escape?
