Chapter 1643: Kong Ming's Strategy (II)

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Qin Hao also nodded in agreement.

The princes of Liangzhou did have a lot of troops, but after all, they belonged to three parties, and they all had hatred, and it was impossible to truly unite under mutual guard.

Therefore, the threat of the alliance of the three major princes of Liangzhou to the Qin army is not as good as the Chu army, which only dispatched 50,000 troops.

Of course, there are also many difficult opponents on the side of the Liangzhou coalition army, such as: Ma Yuan, Ma Chao, Gao Changgong, Shi Wansui, Wu Yunzhao, etc., and there are also Gao Gao Gao, a fierce general at the level of the god of war.

If it is just a military duel, Meng Tian, who commands 100 and holds 70,000 elite Meng Tian, will face the 100,000 coalition troops in Liangzhou, not to mention just blocking the Liangzhou coalition army, even if it is defeated.

But counting the blessings of the generals, the Qin army in Heji, which does not even have a god of war, is obviously unable to compete with the fierce generals who gathered the Liangzhou coalition army.

Therefore, what Hetao lacks most now is not soldiers, but generals, and bending to make up for the weakness of the generals, Meng Tian may not be able to defeat the 100,000 Liangzhou coalition army head-on.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable."

After Qin Hao pondered for a while, he ordered: "Since this is the case, transfer Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu to support Meng Tian." ”

Zhao Yun is now a god-level general, and Dian Wei, who was injured by Luo Shixin, has already healed from his injuries, and together with Xu Chu, he can also stimulate the combination skills, plus the peak god general Huang Zhong, it is enough to block the Liangzhou coalition army.

After estimating the strength comparison of the generals of the two sides in his heart, Zhuge Liang smiled confidently: "So that the crisis in Liangzhou has been solved, the lord will wait for the good news of General Meng Tian." ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was so confident, Qin Hao was infected by it, and also smiled: "The military advisor only said Liangzhou and one road, and there are four other roads, how to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"Our army has deployed 150,000 defenders in Sizhou and the two prefectures, including 80,000 in Jingzhou and 70,000 in Sizhou."

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang pointed to Jiangxia in the south on the map, and said unhurriedly: "Liu Xiu sent 50,000 troops along the way, but he did not directly attack my Nanjun, but attacked Huang Zu of Jiangxia.

Jiangxia County's combat strength is not strong, and with the strength of Huang Zu's family alone, it is difficult to stop Liu Xiu's army.

Once Liu Xiu is allowed to take Jiangxia, when Liu Xiu and Liu Ji join forces directly, they will form an east-west attack on Jingbei.

Jingzhou, the land of the four battles, is already easy to attack and difficult to defend, and if it is attacked by the east and west, it will definitely be difficult to resist, so our army must help Huang to resist Liu. ”

"However, the military division, counting the Chu army, attacked as many as 280,000 enemy troops in Jingbei, while our army only had 80,000 defenders in Jingbei.

The number of our army is far inferior to that of the invading enemy, and it is not enough to defend the city, so how can there be extra troops to support Huang Zu? Qin Hao asked puzzled.

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and said, "Our army is indeed powerless to support Huang Zu, but it can attract external forces to help Huang Zu." ”

"External force?"

After Qin Hao pondered for a while, he immediately understood what Zhuge Liang meant, and asked, "What the military advisor said was to let Jiangdong Sun Jian go and help Huang Zu fight against Liu Xiu?"

But Sun Jiancai and Liu Xiu fought a big battle in Jiaozhou, and they didn't take the slightest benefit, and now when the soldiers are tired, will Sun Jian be willing to send troops? ”

"Sun Jian has to send troops, please take a look."

Zhuge Liang pointed to Jiangxia's position and said: "Once Liu Xiu takes Jiangxia, it will not only form a east-west flanking attack on our army, but also a three-way flank attack on Eastern Wu, and the Chu State will be able to send troops to attack Wu from the three directions of Jiangxia, Changsha, and Jiaozhou."

Even if Wu Guo has a peerless commander like Sun Wu, he will be exhausted in the face of such an offensive, so Sun Jian's rescue of Huang Zu is also to save Wu Guo. ”

Hearing this, Qin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, he naturally understood that the conflict of interests in this was just too much to consider in his position, so he didn't think of this for a while, but as long as he mentioned it, he would react immediately.

"It's a good calculation, this king immediately asked His Majesty to issue an edict and order Sun Jian to lead the army to support Huang Zu."

"With Sun Jian sending troops to intervene, it will not be so easy for Liu Xiu to take Jiangxia again, but Liang guesses that Sun Jian may also want to get Jiangxia.

In the dispute between Wu and Chu, Jiang Xia's position is very important, and whoever can occupy it will be even greater, so Sun Jian must be desperate to get Jiang Xia, and there are two possibilities.

1, Sun Jian united with Huang Zu to fight against Liu Xiu, and after defeating Liu Xiu, Sun Jian eliminated Huang Zu and occupied Jiangxia.

2, Sun Jian in the name of rescuing Huang Zu, but he and Liu Xiu carved up Jiangxia together, and defeated Liu Xiu after destroying Huang Zu. ”

As he spoke, a hint of cunning flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Liang thinks that the former is more likely, but whether it is the former or the latter, as long as Wu and Chu are opposed, Liu Xiu will not be able to threaten our army at all, so the crisis of Chu will be solved by itself." ”

"Seconds, seconds......" Qin Hao slapped his legs and laughed.

borrowed the momentum of other countries to prevent disasters for himself, and Wu Chuming knew that it would cheapen the Qin army, but he had to take the initiative to jump in, this is the **naked conspiracy.

And Huang Zu, who was sandwiched between the Three Kingdoms, was destined to become a victim of this battle.

Although Huang Zu has always been very deferential, but in the world of great contention, the heroes compete for each other, and weakness is the original sin.

In just a few words, Zhuge Liang had retreated from two of the five route army, which made Qin Hao couldn't help but look forward to his next words, but this time Zhuge Liang did not speak directly.

After brewing for a while, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, about the Tang army on this road in Tongguan, there is General Li Cunxiao here, and there is a natural danger in Hangu Pass, only 30,000 defenders are needed, even if the Tang army of 100,000 troops comes to attack, it is still not easy to enter Sizhou." ”

Saying that, Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed slightly, and he continued: "Forcibly attacking a Xiongguan like Hangu Pass, even if he can break through the pass in the end, Li Tang will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

With Li Shimin's shrewdness, it is impossible to do this, but he still let Yang Jian lead 70,000 to attack, so it can be seen that the Tang army in Tongguan is just a feint. ”

"Feints? In this way, the real direction of the Tang Army's main attack is Nanyang? ”

"That's right."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said solemnly: "Li Shimin sent 70,000 troops out of Tongguan, but it was just to drag Sizhou's troops on the front line of Hangu Pass, and not let Sizhou's troops support Jingzhou.

The Nanyang Plain is easy to attack and uncomfortable, and there is almost no place to defend except for a few fortified cities.

Therefore, if Sizhou could not send reinforcements to Nanyang, it would be impossible to resist the attack of the Tang army by relying only on the local defenders of Nanyang.

After Li Shimin took Nanyang, most of Sizhou's troops were still dragged at Hangu Pass, and at that time, the Tang army took Guangcheng Pass lightly in the north, and then killed Heluo and encroached on Sizhou. ”
