Chapter 870： How to deal with it?

Liu Song violently attacked the city of Huazhou, Cao Weiming spared no effort to defend his life. The battle between the two men was very tragic one offensive and one defensive. It has to be said that Liu Song put great pressure on Cao Weiming and the entire Central Plains Army.

At this time, Tan Lei’s army had arrived near Wangzhou, and the distance from Wangzhou to Huazhou was nearly three hundred miles. Moreover, the clouds were rolling over the past few days and the mountain roads were difficult to navigate. Tan Lei had ordered the army to camp, and in his opinion, Cao Weiming occupied it. The location of Huazhou's city pool should be maintained for at least a while.

Besides, Lu Zheng is a newcomer after all, and it turns out that he has fought a battle in Bingzhou, and then took Miaocheng. It takes at least a few days of rest to attack Huazhou from Miaocheng, right?

However, the flying pigeons flying from the sky quickly broke his illusion. In the military account, all the counsellors and generals gathered, and the urgent news continued to be introduced into the military account.

"Report, Huazhou is in a hurry. Liaodong thief Liu Song besieged Huazhou from all sides. General Cao personally guarded the east gate. However, Liu Song violently attacked the north gate. Once the thief attacked the city wall, the city was almost destroyed. General Cao ordered the civilian husband in the city. Only from the upper part of the city can I barely stabilize the situation, but in this case, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken. General Cao asks the prince to rescue immediately, otherwise Huazhou City will be broken!"

Tan Lei was sitting in the middle of the army, his face was extremely gloomy, and a bearded military commander rushed out and said: "This Cao Weiming, his own men and horses are not helpful, Lord, you have given him more than 10,000 elite cavalry, these people are all Do you eat dry rice?

Huazhou City is a bit bigger, and 30,000 horses are all piled on the wall. I see that Liu Song can have three heads and six arms and can break the city? "

"Yes, I think Cao Weiming is incompetent. He was timid with the slightest effort of his opponent. How can he cooperate with the prince to defend against the enemy? I think we should be severely reprimanded and let him block Liu Song firmly, and then let us Go to meet Lu Zheng!"

A group of people directly cursed Cao Weiming's incompetence, making Tan Lei ignore Cao Weiming's call for help, but instead centered on me and was determined to meet Lu Zheng.

In their opinion, the tens of thousands of horses led by Cao Weiming are nothing but sloppy. The core of the Central Plains war is the battle between Tan Lei and Lu Zheng. At the expense of Cao Weiming, Cao Weiming can be used as cannon fodder, and Lu Zheng’s power will be consumed. The confidence of winning is not small!

But soon the clamor of this faction was suppressed by the other side. The counselors were firmly opposed. Tan Lei’s most intimate counselor, Qin Xuan, stood up and said: "Huazhou General Cao can’t help but save! Losing Huazhou will break our line of defense. Blocking Lu Zheng is like catching a fish. If a fish breaks the net, how can we catch the fish?

Besides, General Cao’s opponent is Liu Song, so who is Liu Song? This person is a general under Lu Zheng, and his status in the army is below one person and above 10,000. This time he personally led an army to attack the city. Obviously, the Liaodong army had all the talents and the cavalry in the hands of General Cao. It is normal that the city is not easy! For the present plan, we should immediately send troops to move closer to General Cao. Only when we are one east and one west, and the north and south are horns of each other can prevent the Liaodong Army from advancing. There is no other way than that! "

Qin Xuan said that there is another counselor who said: "Lord, Lu Zheng, this person dares to attack the Central Plains, he must be prepared! The Liaodong army is strong, I was too optimistic before, and now I have to be ruthless and prepare for a fierce battle. Hard fight, can't tolerate the slightest fluke!

It would be a big mistake to expect that Lu Zheng would lose strength after breaking Cao Jun, and then we would wait for work with ease! We have a relationship with Cao Jun. At this time, General Cao is besieged. If we do not rescue, the consequences will be unimaginable! "

Tan Lei twisted his brows. He was not a waiter, so he could naturally see the truth. However, he also has his own difficulties, that is, he must consider a question, once the two sides fight, what should the Central Plains army do if they lose out?

If the Central Plains Army is defeated, the Central Plains will inevitably fall. Can Tan Lei still sit on the capital? Obviously that is absolutely impossible!

Losing the Central Plains is a disaster for Tan Lei. Therefore, we must be cautious in the battle of the Central Plains. Tan Lei had planned that he and Cao Weiming would separate the two cities, and then the two were horns of each other, actively defending, and safe insurance is the first. First, but the development of the war overthrew all his previous ideas.

Lu Zheng came fiercely, and soon occupied an overwhelming advantage in Huazhou. Under such circumstances, Tan Lei was no longer sure to win this battle. Since he is not sure to win, then this battle must be fought. Is it?

If you don’t fight this battle, you just retreat to the capital and use space for time to let Lu Zheng occupy half of the Central Plains first. Tan Lei will rely on the capital to think about defensive strategies. Is it feasible to fight Lu Zheng for a long time?

With the passage of time, things in the Northwest should have results. Besides, Lu Zheng’s food road in Liaodong has been broken. After Long Zhaohuan on the south side of the Yangtze River takes power, he will not be afraid of Liaodong. Also, Long Zhaoyan prides himself on it. The Ninth Five-Year Lord, he can hardly tolerate Lu Zheng's long-term entrenchment in the Central Plains. Can Tan Lei organize all these forces?

Tan Lei was pacing back and forth in the tent with his hands on his back. His mind was moving fast. What he was thinking in his heart could not be said on this occasion. The so-called morale could not be let down. The generals at all levels know, it will inevitably make morale vent.

I have to say that he is very embarrassed now. If such a decision was made ten years ago, he would send troops quickly without hesitation. Wouldn't it be a fight to the death? Tan Lei is also a person who has been fighting for a lifetime on the battlefield. When was he afraid of death on the battlefield?

But now it's different. Tan Lei no longer has the powerful Dakang back then. His net worth and life, and even the connections and careers that Tan Lei has run all his life are tied to him.

If he loses, his Tan family will be destroyed, and all his efforts will be wasted, which makes him have to proceed with caution!

Seeing Tan Lei's expression, Qin Xuan said: "Lord, Dang Duan is constantly suffering from the chaos! For the present plan, it is also a knife to stretch his head, and to shrink his head is a knife! Lu Zheng let Liu Song storm Huazhou, he has spotted Cao Wei. Ming had just arrived in Huazhou and had an unstable footing, thinking about playing fast, but he did not know that this faction exposed their eagerness to win!

According to reports from inside scouts, the Liaodong Army was short of food, and in order to prepare food for the large armament, Bingzhou Sima implemented a solid wall and clearing the fields of Bingzhou. For this is the case, the food for the large army can be used for up to half a month!

If the food for a mere half a month can last? Although the Huazhou city is important, we may not be able to abandon it at a critical time!

But one thing is very important, and that is, in any case, General Cao’s army cannot be destroyed. If not, our morale will be greatly reduced first, and it will be more difficult to fight! "

Qin Xuan talked freely. He stepped forward, pointed with his hand on the map of the silk cloth, and said: "I will quickly move closer to Huazhou, and then let General Cao directly lead the cavalry out of Huazhou. We The two Route Army attacked Liu Song from the north and the south, let Liu Song go to Occupy Kong City. We only wanted to destroy the enemy and break through. In all likelihood, we could succeed in one blow! We abandoned Huazhou, severely inflicted Liu Song, and then retreated. Wangzhou continued to deal with peace.

Even if we lose Wangzhou, as long as we can deal with it for more than ten days and twenty days, I am afraid that the Liaodong Army will be messed up first! If they are in chaos, we counterattack again, and Huazhou may recover. After a few rounds, how can the Liaodong Army deal with us? "
