After a long march, Song Naifeng’s army finally arrived outside the city of Tanzhou. From Bingzhou to Tanzhou, it took nearly a thousand miles. Song Naifeng came all the way. Everywhere he passed, he first stabilized the place. After getting out of the list, Anmin, and then attacking another city, Song Naifeng's army slowly replenished in the process of advancing this way. From Bingzhou to Tanzhou, Song Naifeng made up one hundred thousand cavalry again.
Moreover, unlike Miao City, Song Naifeng would no longer disperse his 100,000 army. One hundred thousand cavalry would advance and retreat together, like an arm's finger. This time Song Naifeng was about to swear to break through Tanzhou.
Tanzhou, Tongzhou and then the capital, three o'clock and one line, this is the defensive formation Lu Zheng put down, how many people does Lu Zheng have on this line? There are more than 60,000 soldiers in Lu Zheng's Southern Army, and Song Wensong's Northwest Army has more than 40,000, and there are more than 100,000 in total!
Lu Zheng divided the 100,000 horses into two parts, one guarded in Tanzhou, relying on natural dangers to fight against the opponents, and Song Wensong's army was placed in the capital, Tongzhou was an empty city, and no soldiers were stationed!
This arrangement and arrangement has actually met with opposition from many people. The first objection was the counselors under Song Wensong. Wu Liewen said: "General Manager, you are obviously hesitant to arrange troops like this. On the one hand, he wanted to fight with Song Naifeng, but on the other hand, he seemed to retreat to the capital, relying on the defense of the capital. Tongzhou was an empty city, and the distance between Tanzhou and the capital was relatively far away. In case of a crisis in Tanzhou, the capital would provide reinforcements. It's too late to help!"
Xing Zhengdao: "General Manager, this time Song Naifeng came from the north and looked at him, but it was only one hundred thousand cavalry, and we have almost one hundred thousand troops, one hundred thousand to one hundred thousand, if it is in the wilderness. It’s hard for me to be an enemy, but if we rely on the city to resist, the situation will definitely be different. It is not yet known who will kill us, or at least we have the power to fight!"
Facing people’s doubts, Lu Zheng just laughed without saying a word, and said: "Everyone, you are from the three generals. I have a very close relationship with the three generals. The relationship is extraordinary. No matter what, even when the most dangerous time comes, I will. Will not let the Northwest Army be ruined in my hands!
I seem to be hesitant to make arrangements like this, but in fact it may not have no deep meaning. If Song Naifeng also thinks I am hesitant, I can take the plan and lead him into the urn when it is critical. Wait, don't you? "
Lu Zheng said that all the counsellors and generals of the Northwest Army looked at each other and were speechless. On the one hand, they had doubts about Lu Zheng's deployment arrangements, and on the other hand, the instructions from Song Wensong from the south of the Yangtze River were very subtle.
Lu Zheng and Song Wensong cooperated in the Northland, because the tens of thousands of horses under Song Wensong's hands were under Lu Zheng, and Song Wensong was beyond reach and could not control it. He needed to use Lu Zheng.
In the south of the Yangtze River, Song Wensong is now wrapped up with Prince Long Zhaohuan, and their interests are converging. In this respect, he is on the opposite side of the Lu family, including Lu Zheng. Therefore, Song Wensong is very conflicted in the deployment of the Song Family Army in the capital!
Therefore, on the one hand, he expressed to Lu Zheng that he firmly supports Lu Zheng in military affairs in the North, and that Lu Zheng can take full control of the situation. On the other hand, he secretly passed the letter to his generals and advisers, flying pigeons, and let them wait for opportunities. Once you have the opportunity, you will immediately protect yourself.
If the capital can’t be defended, there is no need to defend it. If the capital is defeated, the Northwest Army can move south on a large scale, allowing Song Wensong to control tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if the north is lost, the south is here. Song Wensong can also take the lead and thus have the power to counterattack.
Therefore, Lu Zheng’s formation did not allow Song San’s Northwest Army and the Nanfu Army to be integrated into one. Lu Zheng knew the situation of the Northwest Army well, so he absolutely could not allow them to confuse their negative emotions. Brought into the Nanfu Army.
With Lu Zheng's arrangement, the two sides collided in Tanzhou, Liu Song called the generals to discuss the matter. He said: "General, this is the situation now. We are waiting for work, and Song Naifeng is working on an expedition! Even though our strength is weaker, we have the tank. Zhou Tianxian is based on Tanzhou, and Song Naifeng is struggling with strengths and weaknesses. I don’t believe that we will definitely lose in this battle!"
Liu Song said this, and many of his generals agreed with him. The Nanfu Army went from the south of the Yangtze River to the North. They followed Liu Song's south to fight in the North, and they were no longer recruits!
In fact, the Nanfu Army has fought many tough battles, especially Lu Zheng led them in three battles and three victories in Miao City. In the process, they also experienced extremely severe tests, so the combat strength is actually quite not weak.
But the combat power of the Northwest Army cannot be estimated by common sense, and the all cavalry of the Northwest Army are good at riding and shooting, and they are rigorous in formation and discipline. Compared with them, the Nanfu Army is still more than a little bit worse.
But now the morale of the Nanfu army is very high. Because of the three battles, three victories, the morale is available, Liu Song's prestige is extremely high, his shout, the many generals below are all very enthusiastic.
When Lu Zheng saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and said, "Everyone, we haven't been in vain in this period of time. On the one hand, we are purging the army, and now we are strong and strong enough to fight our opponents.
In addition, we used tens of thousands of people to build the city of Tanzhou, and built the city of Tanzhou. The giant deer horses and iron thorn formations were laid outside. The city had stocked fine food for a year and laid three maze formations. With this city, we can hold Tanzhou for one year.
The Northwest Army only has one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Even if they have three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, what can they do to me? "
Lu Zheng paused, and said: "Lu was in the northwest, relying on a small county town with a few thousand people. With these arrangements and arrangements of our Tanzhou now, he just blocked the attack of the Turkic cavalry and defended the people of the county. Life is not committed by foreigners.
Today we have ten times the strength of the previous year, and our opponents are almost the same as ours. If they want to pass through Tanzhou, they have to ask me if Lu Zheng agrees or not! The Northwest Army is the first army of my Great Kang. Song Naifeng, the general of the Northwest, is known as the No. 1 strongman in Great Kang. Haha, it is a pity that Lian is quite old. When he met our Nanfu Army, he can only sink the sand and break the halberd! "
Lu Zheng's words were full of enthusiasm, and the generals under his command were full of emotions. Everyone performed their duties and arranged the defense of Tanzhou strictly and solidly.
Lu Zheng has a lot of research on defending the city. According to the traditional method of defending the city, he builds a high wall, guards the four gates, and then uses the four gates to fend off the enemy. According to the traditional method, Lu Zheng set up three lines of defense at the same time, recessed the four gates into the city wall to expand the contact area between the city wall and the offensive side. At the same time, there are also deep layouts in the city, at the east gate and the west gate. The ecstasy formations are arranged in the middle of the big city gate, these arrangements are extremely ingenious, it can be said that there are all odds and positives.
Lu Zheng put on a posture of guarding Tanzhou, but everyone thought that Lu Zheng could not keep it. The subtleties of this were really mysterious!
Song Naifeng was not in a hurry to attack the city. After his army pressed the border, the first step was to cut off all communication between Tanzhou and the surrounding cities, so that 100,000 horses were continuously pressed around Tanzhou, and Tanzhou was completely enclosed in the middle.
After completing the siege of Tanzhou, his second step was to immediately revise the book to Cao Weiming, so that Cao Weiming quickly sent troops to the capital, causing oppression!
The third thing Song Naifeng revised the book to Tan Lei, let Tan Lei lead the Liaodong Iron Horse into the customs, and agreed with Tan Lei that the two people share the country in the customs!
Song Naifeng is the number one general in Dakang. He has a high prestige and a very wide relationship. Seeing his army besieging Tanzhou, Cao Weiming had been deterred by Lu Zheng, but now he has loosened again. After all, he still trusts Song Naifeng even more. With fifty thousand soldiers, they set off from Bianzhou and rushed to the capital, causing a strong oppression on the capital.
After Tan Lei received Song Naifeng’s letter, he immediately mobilized 50,000 soldiers from Liaodong to quickly cross the pass, head south, and rushed to the capital. As a result, the situation near the capital was instantly passive, and Lu Zheng faced embarrassment on all sides. territory.
Lu Zheng has prepared arrangements, but Song Naifeng is not easy to be fooled by Lu Zheng. Instead of attacking Tanzhou City, he calmly mobilizes soldiers and horses from other parts of the Northland, so that all the powerful Northlanders form a siege on the capital. In this way, all the forces in the Northland have gathered together. All three parties are anti-thief. Only Lu Zheng represents Dakang. How can Lu Zheng’s situation not be dangerous?
The news of Tanzhou and Beijing quickly spread to Jiangnan. A huge wave was set off in Jiangnan. Even the Emperor Xin De, who had closed a lot of liquor, was shocked. He was shocked and said:
"The things in the Northland are not going well, whose fault is this? This is Song Naifeng who wants to unite with the crimes of the world to seize the foundation of my great prosperity! This has already happened, how can we alleviate the danger?"
When the emperor Xinde said this, the audience was speechless, and the ministers immediately said: "The crisis in the capital is mainly due to the improper use of troops by General Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng should defend the capital firmly, relying on the capital as the core, and bring all the troops together. There is a turning point. In the current situation, Tanzhou has been surrounded by Song Naifeng, the Northwest Army in the capital is deterred by Cao Weiming, and the Liaodong iron cavalry is also heading south to the capital. How can the capital be held?
Once the capital fails, Dakang’s foundation in the Northland will be completely removed. From then on, Dakang’s influence in the Northland will no longer be influential! In this way, the anti-thief in the north is bound to be even more arrogant. If they go south immediately, can I hold on to the south of the Yangtze River? Can Jinling be safe? "
This minister is no one else. It is the Tangshan of Zhongcheng Duan who was promoted by Long Zhaohuan. The Duan family in Beijing and the Lu family have never dealt with it. When Lu Zheng was in the south of the Yangtze River, the Duan family was almost swept by Lu Zheng, and Long Zhaohuan wanted to make peace after arriving in Jiangnan. Duan Tangshan was reused when the Lu family sang the opposite stage opera.
Duan Tangshan can be mediocre. The only advantage is that he obeys Long Zhaohuan’s words. This time the north is facing a crisis, he has only one belief in his heart, that is to let Lu Zheng fall into passivity and weaken the power of the Lu family. The Northland is broken, and the Lu family is also Following the decline, the court of Dakang will be earthshaking from now on!
