On Huainan Road, the situation suddenly became miserable.
Song Wensong thought that by occupying Huainan, he would have the advantage, because he knew this place, and Lu Zheng had never fought in Huainan Road. How could he have the confidence to fight Song Wensong in Huainan?
It’s just that Song Wensong never dreamed that Lu Zheng was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He felt that Lu Zheng could be fooled. Lu Zheng used the tricks and pushed the boat along the water. Instead, Song Wensong fell into a very embarrassing situation.
What should Song Wensong do now? Lu Zheng had already mobilized his army to encircle Huainan from all sides, leaving the entire Huaiyang city a few hundred kilometers in circumference to Song Wensong. In other places, Lu Zheng had all guarded and defended. He just waited like that.
Lu Zheng can keep it for a month, a few months, six months or even a year. The question is how long can Song Wensong endure? Song Wensong has more than 100,000 horses in his hands. Can he stay in such a narrow place forever?
I have to say that making any decision now is suffering, because it is really difficult to make a decision! Should I go or stay now, and how should I stay if I stay? How long can I stay? If he left, would he fall into the siege of Lu Zhengxin?
"Master, the only way now is for Tan Cheng to respond quickly, or come from the east, and quickly approach Huaiyang, so that we meet with the outside, he blossoms from the periphery, our center, so the outcome is unpredictable!" Song Wensong offers plans.
Song Wensong thought in his heart that this fellow Tan Cheng was very defensive against himself. Will he try his best to save him at this time? But at this moment, he was already in a completely passive position, and there was no way, so he could only come up with this countermeasure.
Originally, there were still many counsellors below who were already in a panic, so Song Wensong immediately ordered to break out of the encirclement, and the army broke through. I didn't believe that more than 100,000 Shandong troops could not break through Lu Zheng's encirclement.
However, Song Wensong thought about it calmly. This is definitely the worst strategy. The current situation is that Song Wensong is besieged near Huaiyang, and every move is under Lu Zheng's supervision. On the contrary, Song Wensong has no idea how Lu Zheng's army is deployed and how to dispatch it.
In this case, how should the two parties fight against each other? So Song Wensong forced himself to calm down and carefully formulate countermeasures, and the only countermeasure was to start from Tan Cheng's side.
After thinking about it, he personally wrote a very touching letter. The content of this letter is very simple. It is a tearful narration of the brotherhood between the two, and then talk about the current situation in the world, the so-called situation. Naturally, he had to first describe Lu Zheng as innocent and insidious.
Then let me say that if one of the two brothers, Tan Cheng and he are finished, the other will be finished immediately, and the two of them will have cold lips and teeth. Don't be fooled by Lu Zheng! In this case, the two must unite and cooperate sincerely.
Finally, Song Wensong came up with his plan, which was the so-called central blooming plan. He stated that as long as Tan Cheng attacked Lu Zheng from the east by the Shandong cavalry, Song Wensong would kill from the inside. Shred.
After tearing up the net of heaven and earth, Lu Zheng immediately fell into a passive position, and then the two of them separately used their troops, and they could directly harvest all the people who were waiting for Lu Zheng on Huainan Road. After such a battle, Lu Zheng would definitely be greatly injured.
In order to tell Tan Cheng, Song Wensong enumerated a lot of data, and turned his mind over to think about the means. He has to say that his thousands of words of letters are indeed something, regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, but at first glance Still very convincing. Convincing is good these days.
Song Wensong asked the best scout to sneak out to find Tan Cheng secretly with his own letter, but at this time Lu Zheng was already making a new plan.
Surrounding Song Wensong, besieging rather than attacking was a strategy that Lu Zheng had long thought of. In fact, it was also a lot of pressure to do so. First of all, Song Wensong has more than 100,000 horses. Can so many people be surrounded by himself?
Another point is that it is not easy for Lu Zheng to provide logistics for so many people. Song Wensong is isolated and helpless in Huaiyang, but Huaiyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He can hoard food in it to defend himself. For Lu Zheng, his siege is It is camping in the wild and garrisoning for a long time. The manpower and material resources required to do so are huge.
The key point is that if Song Wensong is killed if the encirclement is not good enough, Lu Zheng's local forces may still be in a weak position. In that case, the outcome will be unpredictable.
However, there is no alternative. Military affairs have been a murder since ancient times, and there is nothing perfect. Where is the winning battle? In a sense, Lu Zheng's approach to Song Wensong this time was to use troops on the one hand, and to exert strong psychological pressure on the other, causing Song Wensong to make wrong judgments under the tremendous psychological pressure.
"Everyone, now we have surrounded Huaiyang. Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Song Wensong will easily break through. And his most likely move is to make Tan Cheng attack from the outside, and then he will attack from the inside. As a result, under this situation, I decided to set up an ambush on the periphery to induce Tan Cheng into our encirclement, and then destroy Tan Cheng outside.
As long as Tan Cheng is greatly hurt, Song Wensong will not think about it. At that time, he will break through if he does not break through. And at that point, he wants to break through. We know his actions well and know the fire, but he doesn't know our actions at all, hehe, we can still take the initiative! "
Qi Yuanzhi said: "Yes, we are under a lot of pressure to surround Huaiyang. Many soldiers in the army sharpen their swords. They think that there is no chance to kill the enemy. It happens that we are surrounding Huaiyang, and no one would think of us at this time. The Bing Feng pointed at Tan Cheng. As long as Tan Cheng is deceived, we can wait for work and beat Tan Cheng by surprise. At that time, Tan Cheng might really cry for his father and mother!"
Qi Yuanzhi supported Lu Zheng, and Zhang Pinghua also expressed his support. Very rare counsellors have always considered Lu Zheng's proposal feasible. Immediately, Lu Zheng ordered:
"Kuangzi!"
General Kuang Zi took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "The final commander!"
"You led 30,000 horses in your headquarters to set up ambushes in the Suxianling area. Remember, you must hide the soldiers. According to the scout, Tan Cheng has received Song Wensong’s letter. Under normal circumstances, he will take it within three days. Soldiers set off. And Su Xianling is the place he must pass. If we can successfully set up ambush in Su Xianling, we will surely cause great casualties to Tan Cheng!"
Lu Zheng’s voice suddenly rose up and said: "Kuangzi, listen to me. It’s nothing to win a battle. The key point is that you must inflict heavy damage on Tan Cheng. Tan Cheng now has 50,000 elite soldiers. If you do this battle, If you can damage his 30,000 horses, your Kuangzi will be done, and I will definitely give you a great reward!"
Kuang Zi said excitedly: "Don't worry, I am best at winning with less. I started learning this kind of ambush from my mother's womb. This time I must use the terrain to burn Tan Cheng and let Tan Cheng be buried in the sea of flames. Among..."
Kuang Zi can be called the Chi King Kong of the Eight King Kong, because this kid likes to use his brain in wars. He is not as fierce as Li Xiu, but he uses his brain much better than Li Xiu. He likes to fight clever battles and uses his brain calmly, so he can often win by surprise.
Lu Zheng asked Kuangzi to set up an ambush, which was actually using his strengths.
Don't underestimate such battles as setting up ambushes. Most people do not fight well. On the one hand, they lack experience in maneuvering troops. More importantly, the quality of soldiers is not enough. In many cases, setting up ambushes is not strict.
Another is that the ambush battle requires the whole army to be highly unified and extremely confidential, because once the information of this kind of battle is leaked to the enemy, the enemy will not be fooled, and there is no way to fight such a battle.
And Kuang Zi has done in-depth research in this area, especially when it comes to secrecy. He has a set of his own methods, but he usually uses soldiers. His level of secrecy is controlled at the highest level, and sometimes even the leading soldiers before the start of the war receive the general's order at the end.
Kuang Zi relied on his own unique methods, and often made amazing things. This time Lu Zheng entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and he felt that his chance was here!
To be a general, he must contribute to the country, raise his soldiers for thousands of days, and use them for a while. Kuangzi has always wanted to fight and serve for a while, but Lu Zheng has been recuperating and waiting silently. Only now has he waited for the opportunity, and this opportunity he I really don't want to let it go.
Before leading the troops out, Kuangzi asked the generals under his hand to sort out all the soldiers who went out. Each of these soldiers must be loyal and brave. In order to ensure that there are no problems with the soldiers, Kuangzi used the method of sitting together.
That is, the corps leader must protect the soldiers, the centurion must protect the corps leader, and the participants must protect the centurion. If one person has a problem, he will be involved in a company, and the military law will not kill one person.
So many times, you don’t need to oversee the army at all when you flee. The centurion or the captain directly beheads the soldiers who are greedy for life and fear of death. Therefore, Kuangzi’s military orders are like mountains and dare to fight. They are definitely not afraid of death.
After this purge, Kuangzi kept enough 30,000 horses, and then set off overnight, walking day and night, and went straight to Su Xianling.
After arriving at Su Xianling, he divided the army into three parts, gave each participating general a password, and then made them stationed in their respective positions. They could not communicate with each other, and they could only obey Kuang Zi's military orders.
Then Kuangzi used a team to transport the sulfur, saltpeter, gunpowder, and kerosene to the army. The army was not allowed to live, only to eat the dry food that came with it, and there was nothing lurking. The act of revealing identity.
In this way, the army set up an ambush in Suxianling for two days, and at this time, after Tan Cheng received Song Wensong's letter, the whole person was really incomparably tormented.
He doesn't know if he should save Song Wensong, but one thing is that if Song Wensong is finished, he Tan Cheng will definitely not hold on for long. The strength of the two is very different, and Tan Cheng and Lu Zheng are not at the same level.
Tan Cheng is ambitious, but he never thought of becoming emperor by himself. He just wants to guard his own turf, guard his own humiliation, it is best to be a great official in the border for a lifetime.
Originally he lived in Shandong, this goal has been achieved, but Long Lingxiu proclaimed the emperor, Lu Zheng raised troops, the situation under the world suddenly got out of control, and Shandong was also involved in the war.
At this time, he didn't have many choices. In this battle, Song Wensong and Lu Zheng strangled together, and he must make the right choice.
In the end, he decided to send troops to rescue him, because he had to maintain the balance between Song Wensong and Lu Zheng, so that he could find a little space in the cracks, otherwise how would he live?
Therefore, when he ordered 50,000 soldiers and then went straight to Huaiyang, he never dreamed that in Shandong, Lu Zheng had already laid a net for him...
