Song Naifeng made up his mind to divide and rule the situation under the rule first. Now his trouble comes from the Northland on the one hand. Song Wensong's cavalry is frequently harassed, which puts the Northland in frequent danger, and directly threatens the north-south gateway to Bingzhou.
Although from the intelligence feedback from the scouts, Song Wensong's strength is not enough to threaten Bingzhou, Song Naifeng is not at ease with Bingzhou. Once Bingzhou falls, Song Naifeng will be seriously threatened inside the pass.
Under such circumstances, Song Naifeng could only postpone his attack on Yuzhou, but let Chuanshanyue lead the cavalry to march north quickly. He wanted to fight Song Wensong on the front line of Bingzhou and Miaocheng, and even defeated Song Wensong, thus completely crushing Lu Zheng's situation. A trick.
It has to be said that Song Naifeng’s strategy is correct, and his strategy is in line with Lu Zheng’s expectations. Song Naifeng suspends attacking Yuzhou to give Lu Zheng a chance to breathe. The more important point is that Lu Zheng stays in Lianghe for one more day. The New Deal promoted in Lianghe will benefit one more day.
When he has an endless supply of soldiers, and when he is no longer worried about food and grass, he can train more soldiers. At least in the Lianghe area, he is sure to train tens of thousands of elite soldiers. When it is critical, these The elite soldiers will be an important weight to determine the outcome.
For Song Naifeng, he arrived in the pass as a Northwester, and it was not easy for him to clear the decree. The so-called Daqian Dynasty was not well-known and dissatisfied. The Emperor Long Zhaoyan of the Qian Dynasty was originally the abandoned prince of Dakang. In the hearts of the people, in the hearts of the widows and children, Song Naifeng is an anti-thief, and at all levels of society, he has a very negative attitude towards the Northwest Army's occupation of the capital.
Song Naifeng is shrewd. After occupying the capital, he decided to abandon the northwest and transferred almost all the cavalry in the northwest to the pass. His plan was to fight Lu Zheng here and drive Lu Zheng out of the north. In addition, he also supported the Liaodong Army, Huainan Road and Lingnan Road also echoed him, and they worked together to oppose the Dakang Dynasty.
I have to say that Song Naifeng's plan is feasible and very lethal, but from a time point of view, time is actually not on his side.
Lu Zheng implemented a very enlightened decree, which has caused a lot of waves in Lianghe. The Cao family and Zhao family in Lianghe were almost uprooted by him. At the same time, the second-line and third-line families before Lianghe began to rise. The strategy has been supported and responded by many people, and everything in the Lianghe area is developing in a good direction.
Song Naifeng’s advantage is something that Song Naifeng can’t learn anyway. The crux of the problem now lies in whether Lu Zheng, who is on the weaker side, can withstand Song Naifeng’s early frantic suppression. Lu Zheng found Song Wensong and Song Wensong at a critical time. How long can it last?
The army of Chuanshan Mountains went north, and the city walls of the merged state were as strong as iron. Song Wensong’s cavalry was gradually compressed. If he flees to the northeast, there will be the territory of Liaodong iron cavalry. Song Wensong can be said to be in the stomach of his opponent. Needless to say, danger can be foreseen.
"The old man still hates me for my bones! Let Chuanshanyue deal with me, and would rather give up attacking Yuzhou, or put me to death at any cost. This kind of hatred really chills me!" Song Wensong smiled, holding the scout in his hand. Reported, with an extremely angry tone.
He looked around, his voice suddenly raised, and said: "What should we do now, this servant of Chuanshan Mountain is not the defenders of Miaocheng, this person is not below me, and they have three times our iron cavalry, if We ran into it, almost begging to die!
We only have this little man, and we lose one person and one less person. Even if we are beaten and disabled, it is difficult for us to survive in the current situation! "
The counselors and the generals were silent, but Qi Yuanzhi smiled faintly, and said: "General, don’t panic. For this plan, we can only ask for help from Yuzhou. Don’t worry, the general. We have one mind in the Nanfu Army. Master Lu handed over the Nanfu Army. You won’t ignore you, let alone the soldiers of the Southern Army!”
Qi Yuanzhi's light and fluttering words stabilized the general's mind and at the same time gave Lu Zheng a set. If Lu Zheng didn't save Song Wensong, now the 20,000 horses would still have a crush on Lu Zheng? In this way, Song Wensong can quickly establish authority.
Qi Yuanzhi paused, and then said: "We are in the North, and Bingzhou is a battleground for military strategists. If Bingzhou falls, the 30,000 people in the mountains and mountains will not be able to cover us, and the Northwest Army's tactics will be completely ineffective!"
"How can Bingzhou get it? Bingzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even without Sichuan and mountains, our strength can't be compared to Bingzhou!" The generals immediately said loudly, obviously they were telling the truth.
Qi Yuanzhi laughed and said, "Yeah, so what are you anxious about? Since Lu Zheng has set up a plan, he must have targeted Bingzhoudi! If Bingzhou is not threatened, what's the point for us to rush thousands of miles from Yuzhou to the North? What's the meaning?
So guys, I judge that Lu Zheng has divided his troops into two groups. Our route is led by the general in the light, and there is another road lurking on this line, in the dark. Now Chuanshanyue has sent troops, if we don’t take the initiative to give Lu Zheng In a hurry, he will definitely stand still.
So, now we have to rush Lu Zheng quickly, and then Lu Zheng will surely let us occupy Miao City, relying on the Miao City line to deal with the mountains and mountains, blocking the way to the north of the mountains and mountains. If so, there must be war in Binzhou! "
Qi Yuanzhi talked eloquently. When he said this, everyone opened his mouth wide, even Song Wensong was extremely impressed. Many truths are not worth mentioning after they have been clarified, but when they are not clear, it is difficult to say how to say clearly.
Obviously, Lu Zheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He gave Song Wensong 20,000 horses, not that Song Wensong would soon confess all these 20,000 people, and thus completely become cannon fodder. He must have a deeper strategy.
The capital is facing Yuzhou and Lianghe, but now Song Naifeng chooses to be in the north on the battlefield, can Lu Zheng really get Song Wensong under attack and fall into a desperate situation? If Song Wensong were destroyed in this way, it would definitely be a huge disaster for Lu Zheng.
Song Wensong said: "Come here, send Lu Zheng 800 li to expedite, and I will write it by myself!"
...
The weather in Yuzhou is very dry. In the General's Mansion, Lu Zheng's wife is here. These days, Lu Zheng's family is reunited, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
The north is not peaceful. Yuzhou and the capital are only a few hundred miles apart. The hundreds of thousands of troops from the two sides confronted each other. The Northwest Army's rangers frequently appeared near Yuzhou. The most recent time theirs had reached a place a mile away from the city gate. .
The cavalry spies, they come and go like the wind, and they like to looting, so many people near Yuzhou suffer from it. Judging from the information transmitted from all aspects, it seems that a big battle is inevitable.
But in Yuzhou City, there is no atmosphere of war. The restaurant and teahouse are still prosperous, and the streets are still full of people. The key is that the General Yuzhou Mansion is still as stable as a rock. The stability and peace of Yuzhou City makes people feel confident, because everyone is I believe that Chief Executive Lu Zheng will never give up Yuzhou, because he took over his family and even his father-in-law, and Lu Zheng’s skills are also widely circulated in Yuzhou. The most popular one is that he used a small county town in the past. Thousands of pawns blocked the enemy's 30,000 cavalry, and this spread is undoubtedly a boost to morale.
Because the gap between Yuzhou and Beijing is not big in terms of numbers alone, the army in Yuzhou is also rapidly expanding. With the implementation of the New Deal, there are many people around Yuzhou and Bianzhou who are beating gongs and drums to join the army!
In Lu Zheng's chamber, the counsellors gathered, and the generals looked very solemn. Lu Zheng smiled and said, "What are you doing so heavy? At least we can relax in Yuzhou for a while when we go north from Chuanshan Mountain!"
"Song Wensong's eight hundred li is in a hurry! We can't help but die. If Song Wensong is killed, we may not be able to hold on to Yuzhou!" Zhang Pinghua said.
He paused, and then said: "General, you said that now for us is to fight a protracted battle. The longer the time, the better, and the longer the battle, the better, so..."
Lu Zheng raised his brows, and said, "Has Song Wensong's emergency letter arrived? Is it his handwritten handwriting?"
"I've arrived long ago! Song Wensong is in an urgent situation. Either he retreats the same way. This is basically impossible, because Chuanshan Mountain will not give him a chance. But he flees north and is blocked by Bingzhou. It is also very dangerous to go northeast and enter Liaodong. Tan Lei has no friendship with him!"
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "So Bingzhou is a knot. Now I will order Song Wensong to guard Miao City and block the mountains and mountains in Miao City. He tells him that it takes time for us to send troops to rescue. He has to guard for more than seven days and can't hold it. In seven days, there is no way to control the situation!"
"General, we...are we really going to send troops? This is impossible, absolutely not! Once we send troops, what will Yuzhou do? Song Naifeng is a set, if we send troops to the north, Yuzhou will be in danger!" Zhang Pinghua His face changed drastically, and he said loudly.
Not only Zhang Pinghua, but Chen Lizhong and others also immediately agreed. Obviously, they all opposed Lu Zheng’s plan. Yuzhou would be at a disadvantage in the confrontation between Yuzhou and Beijing. If Lu Zheng sent all the cavalry to the north. , Then how can Yuzhou hold it?
Sichuan and mountains went to 30,000 cavalry, Yuzhou also went to 30,000 cavalry, but the Northwest Army has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, Yuzhou has only 30,000 cavalry!
How Lu Zheng did this is undoubtedly breaking Yuzhou's arm, making it very difficult to escape once Yuzhou is defeated. This situation is really terrible.
Lu Zheng sighed and said, "The matter is over. I can't save myself. In fact, for us, if it is not helpless, why should we come up with such a strategy? Song Wensong is here, we used it, but if Song Wensong has just sent troops It's over, hasn't our strategy also failed?
Song Wensong has ten thousand cavalrymen. These cavalrymen are our treasures, and they were ruined in the north. How can our Yuzhou army have a chance to win this battle? "
Lu Zheng said in a solemn tone. He said this categorically without any hesitation. Everyone looked at each other, everyone was silent, a kind of adviser. You look at me, I look at you, and you don't know how to say it.
Everyone who follows Lu Zheng knows that Lu Zheng's temperament is extremely strong, and no one can shake the matter he decides, but it is obviously too dangerous. Where is Lu Zheng taking a risk? Obviously it's death!
Lu Zheng's opponent, Yuzhou's opponent is no one else, the opponent is the world's number one fierce general, facing such a powerful person like Song Naifeng, the consequences of Lu Zheng's actions would be too serious.
If there is no cavalry in Yuzhou, what should I do if Yuzhou City cannot be defended? Once Yuzhou falls, the consequences will be disastrous...
After the silence, everyone turned their attention to Dai Gao, everyone present, and the others were not enough. At a critical moment, everyone hoped that Dai Gao could give Lu Zheng the last word and let Lu Zheng not be arrogant...
Dai Gao closed his eyes and rested his mind. In fact, he never seemed to be awake. He just sat upright and closed his eyes slightly. He was like an old monk in concentration. So far, today's discussion is over.
Everyone is gone. Everyone has gone on separate missions. As the general manager, Lu Zheng has absolute authority in the Nanfu Army, so his decision should not be questioned. Although the situation is dangerous, everyone apart from deploying immediately. What else can I do?
The city walls of Yuzhou can be higher and get acquainted with. The defenses outside the city, the giant deer horse, and the moat can be more powerful. The people of Yuzhou can be launched more thoroughly, and the materials for defending the city can be hoarded more. In short, since we are going to defend Yuzhou City, all kinds of extreme situations must be considered, we must be prepared, and we must do our best!
The Nanfu Army that Lu Zheng currently controls has this ability. The generals and counsellors have their own division of labor. Once Lu Zheng has a decision, everyone will be united. This is Lu Zheng's biggest advantage right now.
Everyone was gone, Dai Gao opened his eyes and said, "Have you really thought about it? Song Naifeng's iron cavalry may be more difficult to deal with than you think. I saw this person's bravery in the past, and he gave up his life. Under the circumstances, all the soldiers can be piled under the city wall, he can let the cavalry behind step on the corpse in front of the city wall, and then break the city, then Yuzhou city is over, everything may be over! "
Lu Zheng nodded and said: "Father-in-law is right. I believe Song Naifeng has such an ability, and he used Chuanshanyue to go north, just to induce me to send troops. As long as I send troops, he will quickly come over and use all his strength. Break Yuzhou! This is his plan!"
Lu Zheng paused and said, "So, I want to send out troops, and the whole city is mobilized and prepared for war. At this time, it's up to everyone who can survive!
Yue Feng can rest assured that he can do risky things, but absolutely cannot do that everyone can see clearly. People have to gamble, but they have to bet on the victory or defeat. You should be able to understand this truth! "
Lu Zheng nodded and said: "Yeah, if it is not a last resort, don't gamble. Even if you want to gamble, you have to let your opponents leave the game before seeing the game. Otherwise, it's very likely to be defeated!"
Dai Gao smiled and said, "You have let Liu Song go northward in secret, day and night. By this time, the 20,000 cavalrymen have arrived in the wilderness north of Miaocheng, haven't they?
At this time, Yuzhou is singing the empty city plan. Song Naifeng is waiting for you to send troops. He may never wait for the news of your sending troops. What he was waiting for might be the news that the city was broken!
When the Bingzhou city was broken, the news spread from Bingzhou to the capital at the same time that Liu Song's iron cavalry could almost rush to the vicinity of Yuzhou. Song Naifeng had to do something, he might not have an absolute chance of winning, would he? "
Lu Zheng was stunned for a while, and said for a while: "Fortunately, my opponent is not your father-in-law. If it were you, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I'm going to die!"
Dai Gao smiled and said, "Your arrangement is very delicate, and I just figured it out! Because there is a very confusing place in your arrangement, and that is the Battle of Bingzhou.
It is not easy for Liu Song's 20,000 cavalry to conquer the merged state, because the merged state is easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to the usual practice, to attack the merged state, at least 40,000 men and horses are required. Therefore, according to ordinary people's thinking, you send 20,000 cavalry in the past. , Does not help, that is not a wise strategy! "
Dai Gao paused, and said: "But everyone has overlooked the possibility that as long as Song Wensong desperately defends Miao City and Chuanshan Mountain will continue to attack Miao City for a long time, the siege party will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Soldiers can come out of the city, head towards Miao City, pinch Song Wensong, and put pressure on Song Wensong from two aspects.
As long as the soldiers from the Union State came out, Liu Song’s cavalry would attack quickly. In the wilderness, Liu Song was able to quickly swallow the 10,000 horses of the Union State Army, and then took the Union State City in one fell swoop, and the Union State City was broken, the gateway to the northwest. After Song Wensong occupied Bingzhou, he could quickly infiltrate the northwest. Song Naifeng gave up the northwest. It happened to be in a vacuum stage. Song Wensong occupied the northwest. He had the ability to grow rapidly in the northwest, while Song Naifeng lost. The way back, from then on he became a rootless duckweed. "
Dai Gao talked about Lu Zheng's strategy as it was. Lu Zheng said: "Yes, as long as Song Naifeng becomes rootless duckweed, he will stay in Gyeonggi and Guannei for a day, and his strength will be weakened by one day. It won’t take long for the mountains and rivers to show a tendency of disintegration. At that time, hehe, who else will compete with us in the Northland?"
"This is a protracted battle. Any idea of a quick fight is very dangerous. Time is good for us. As time goes by, we can get stronger and stronger, and our opponents will be weakened. I think so. Now, it’s a big deal. I have been suffering for three years. After three years, I don’t believe Song Naifeng can still have the arrogance that he is today!"
Dai Gao laughed and said: "If Song Naifeng and Tan Lei join forces again, the situation will be very dangerous. You have to guard against this. After you and Tan Lei fight, the Liaodong Army is defeated and temporarily recuperated, but his temperament should be used. It won’t be long before it’s ready to move again. Then what will Lianghe do?"
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know how to solve this problem, so I can only pretend to ignore it! Tan Lei is nothing. The point is that the woman Long Lingxiu hates me to the bone, and I dare not dream about this woman. Fortunately, they are still paying Without going south, I still have a chance to breathe!"
When Lu Zheng said this, he looked at Dai Gao and said: "Father-in-law, the government affairs of Lianghe are the key. We have never implemented government affairs before, but they are very popular with the people. I also studied under the Queen Mother Beiyan!
Why can a woman, the Queen Mother Beiyan, control the political situation? Because she was very clever, he used the small and medium power sect to suppress the big power sect, and mobilized the following forces to subvert the foundation of the entire Beiyan dignitaries. Such a strategy was too powerful. The so-called century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and the rich and powerful will exist for too long, and the decay and resentment they accumulate will last longer. If such decay and resentment can be destroyed and the resentment can be stimulated, this energy can change the world. In this regard, I ask Yue Feng to help me, or else the people under my hand can't do all the government affairs and carry out my will with their ability! "
Dai Gao said faintly: "I am an old man, and I will be dead. How many years can I do for you? Talents, now there is a shortage of talents, so the selection of talents in Lianghe is particularly critical. Dakang's imperial examinations can rise in Lianghe. Promoting the imperial examinations and selecting talents will ensure long-term stability!"
Lu Zheng nodded, and was extremely impressed by Dai Gao's proposal. Indeed, what Lu Zheng had neglected the most before was talent. His consciousness is on the one hand, his identity is on the other, he is a courtier of Dakang, and he is a general who leads the army, he has no name to do this.
Well now, he owns the Lianghe region, which is nominally the territory of Dakang, but in fact it is his independent kingdom. In this area, he is fully able to promote imperial examinations, select talents, and lay manpower for the generals. Foundation.
Dai Gao also left. Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the current situation. Many things from the past came to his mind one by one. He still remembers when he first arrived in Yangzhou. At that time, he couldn't even save his life in the Zhang family. At that time, he had never thought about today?
Today, now, Lu Zheng feels that he is increasingly embarking on a road of no return. This road has no end or retreat from the beginning, because this is not his road alone, there is a family behind him. , There are countless followers, all these pressures are on him, can he retreat?
Suddenly Lu Zheng was thinking about Jiangnan. He didn't know what Jiangnan would look like in this matter. Isn't it the same as him on Lianghe, and it's very difficult everywhere?
If the two rivers are lost, everything is over, because the rebels will quickly converge into a vast ocean, and then Jiangnan will also be lost. The key is that the two rivers are lost, and Lu Zheng may not be able to escape. He died in the two rivers. How much power does the Lu family have to protect the world for Dakang?
Dai Xiaojing and Ying'er walked over, and the two women held Lu Zheng's arms on the left and the other. Lu Zheng looked at their faces with an extremely warm feeling in his heart. He thought to himself:
"On this big gamble, if you lose, everything in front of you will be like a mirror in the middle of the moon, with flowers in the water, it's all over! He took his family to Yuzhou and Dai Gao to Yuzhou, all for this gamble. , Because he wants to convince his opponents that he will never risk sending all the cavalry out, because then, once the Northwest Army goes crazy, Lu Zheng has nowhere to escape, there is only a dead end!"
