Chapter 369

"Your Majesty, at this time, we must not divide our troops and create new problems! Although we only have enough food and grass for more than a month, Nanyang is in the autumn harvest. Our army pushed across all the way to Nanyang. Are we afraid of no food and grass?

At that time, in order to prevent our army from entering Nanyang, the red lady will definitely fight a decisive battle with our army and will never dare to avoid the war. On the contrary, if our army divides its troops to attack Kaifeng, it will be easy for the other party's cavalry to take advantage of fewer troops and horses, and more troops and horses are not conducive to the decisive battle of the army. In the end, it may be dragged by the opposite party to retreat without fighting. "

Seeing the king's hesitation, a counselor next to him quickly stood up and said.

"Nonsense. The other party has cavalry. Don't we have cavalry? Brother, I only need 30000 infantry and 3000 cavalry. I promise to win Kaifeng within half a month. "

Liu Zongmin was furious at the speech. He first glared at the counselor, and then hurriedly promised to the king.

"This... Brother Liu, don't be impatient. Well, I'll give you 10000 troops. You and brother Luo can attack Kaifeng together. Then brother Luo can contact the Niu Er and besiege Kaifeng together."

The king glanced at the crowd, then hesitated and said, obviously he didn't want to separate the cavalry.

"It's big brother."

Although there were fewer than 10000 people, Liu Zongmin nodded after thinking about it. Luo Rucai turned his eyes twice and didn't refuse, but the counselor was in a hurry and wanted to speak, but he was stopped by the king.

After everyone went out, the counselor hurriedly said, "king, why do you want to divide troops? Sixty thousand will be distributed. Although our army has three hundred and fifty thousand, we can... "

"Military master, Cao Cao let him go last time in runing mansion. Who knows if there is any activity in it? The man surnamed Luo is also famous for his cunning. I must guard against it! And if the Chinese cavalry really attack them, our cavalry can just go up and stop the Chinese Army! "

The king interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said slowly.

"I see, but the king suspects Luo Rucai. Why not..." The military master nodded, suddenly realized, and then whispered, he couldn't help taking a new look at Chuang Wang.

"Although Luo Rucai's strength is greatly damaged now, he has old qualifications and high reputation. Wang Xiaohua just let him go. If I were the king again... What would my servants think of me that day?" The king got up and said.

"Your Majesty is wise. If you don't think well, Luo Rucai can't move for the time being!"

The counselor was not a fool. He immediately understood that if Chuang Wang cleaned up Luo Rucai at this time, wouldn't it just set off the benevolence and righteousness of King Hua and the ruthlessness of Chuang Wang?

The next day, Luo Rucai and Liu Zongmin took more than 60000 people to the East and rushed to Kaifeng. Liu Guoneng took a boat to Xuzhou again as lobbyists.

As soon as Chuang Jun divided his troops, the Chinese Army thirty miles away received the news. Hong Ying was immediately excited, and Cao Bianjiao was even more eager.

"General, the last general will fight and attack. There are only 60000 mobs. My 8000 iron cavalry can kill them everywhere with only one charge."

"Well, what do you think, Mr. Li?" The red warbler nodded and obviously agreed with the cavalry to attack. After all, Kaifeng can't lose it, and the other party's soldiers and horses have no cavalry. Under the 8000 iron cavalry raid, they can really kill and defeat each other at one stroke, but they subconsciously looked at you, Li Yan.

"Madam, general Cao, the 60000 troops separated by the Chuang army are not worried. As long as Niu Er doesn't send troops, Kaifeng City can protect itself, and Hong Chengchou is now preparing to attack Xuzhou south, so Niu Er will never send troops to Kaifeng at this time." Li Yan hugged his fist and said slowly.

"So Mr. Li doesn't approve of cavalry raids?" The red warbler frowned, but Cao Bianjiao glared at him.

"No, our army can lead the snake out of the cave this time. Maybe it can hurt the other party's cavalry."

Li Yan shook his head as if he hadn't seen Cao Bianjiao's expression, and then his profound tunnel and famous scholar style showed no doubt!

"Oh?"

If you were King Qin, Li Yan would have been kicked out of the big account. However, the red lady would eat this set. Her eyes lit up when she heard that she could hurt the other party's cavalry.

Li Yan didn't dare to talk about his plan in detail. Even if they were unhappy with him, they had to admire this guy for his two brushes.

"OK, just do as your husband says. This time, break the king's finger first." The red warbler squeezed her fist and said fiercely.

Compared with the 60000 Chuang troops, the threat of Chuang cavalry is undoubtedly much greater.

If we can inflict heavy losses or wipe out more than 10000 cavalry of the other side before the war, the odds of victory will definitely be two or three percent higher when the battle is decided. The red warbler still knows this.

Cao Bianjiao did not attack immediately with his cavalry, but it was not until three days later that the Chinese army had retreated near Changge, and 8000 iron cavalry quietly went to the Northeast under the cover of the moonlight.

Even so, Chuang Jun was detected at the first time.

"You're right. The cavalry of the Chinese Army really poured out tonight?"

"Back to the king, it's true. The direction is the northeast. If the brothers hadn't ambushed the sentry in the Northeast in advance, they might not have found it."

"Well, indeed as expected!"

Chuang Wang was very happy. He was very satisfied with his plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He could not only weaken Luo Rucai by the hand of the other party's cavalry, but also make a surprise attack when the other party's cavalry was away, so as to teach the other party a lesson and frustrate the Chinese Army's spirit. It was killing two birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty, at this time, our army only needs to press step by step. According to the current speed, in ten days, we will reach the boundary of Ruzhou in Nanyang and fight to the death with the Chinese army. It is really inappropriate to make extra branches to avoid being ambushed by the other party and causing unnecessary losses."

Obviously, the counselor who broke the king was a cautious man. He knew what he wanted to do at the sight of the king. He frowned and advised.

In his opinion, the Central Plains is flat, and their military strength is several times that of the other party. The army just needs to press over and win 60%. There is no need to engage in those intrigues to give the other party a chance.

"Alas, the military division is too worried. Don't say that the other party's cavalry is no longer available. It can't ambush our cavalry at all. Even if we encounter it head-on, our cavalry may not be the opponent of the Chinese cavalry."

As soon as Chuang Wang waved his hand, the reason why he didn't send cavalry to intercept Xiyuan was not that he was afraid of the cavalry of the Chinese army, but that he was reluctant to give up the cavalry and didn't want to fight with each other's cavalry. After all, it took him nine cattle and two tigers to set up these more than 10000 cavalry.

If the Chinese cavalry attack openly in the daytime, he will doubt whether the other party is playing tricks, but sneaking out at night must be attacking Luo Rucai and them.
