Chapter 1581: Sweeping Liangshan (Middle)

The movement of the 25,000-strong army on the march was naturally difficult to conceal even if he wanted to, but Li Jing also had the means to confuse Song Jiang.

When he learned that Song Jiang, Wang Mang, Gongsun Shu, and Zhu Tianpeng would join forces to attack Beihai, Li Jing had already ordered to abandon all the county seats, and relocated the people to clear the walls and fields, putting on a posture of defending a city in Beihai.

In the eyes of Song Jiang and Zhu Tianpeng, Li Jing's strategy at this time was to defend Beihai City, so the move of dividing troops to go out can also be explained as to move and protect supplies.

But in fact, the migration of the people, as well as the transportation of a large number of materials, were all to cover the actions of the Qin army.

Li Jing divided the 25,000-strong army into ten teams, each with 2,500 people, and went to the counties with great fanfare to confuse and paralyze the Song Jiang and Liangshan armies, but at night they quietly left the city and regrouped at the border.

In just two days, the 25,000 Qin army was quietly assembled at the border, but the main force of the Qin army in Song Jiang's eyes continued to carry supplies and move people to Beihai.

"Lord Taishou, there is no movement in the Liangshan Bureau, and Song Jiang is not aware of it, what do you say we should do next?" Qin Ming asked excitedly.

"The Liangshan Army is now divided into two divisions, one with 10,000 people, stationed in the base camp of Liangshan.

Most of this army is new recruits, and it does not pose much of a threat to our army, so it can be left alone for the time being. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he continued: "Our target this time is the 30,000 main forces stationed outside Liangshan. ”

The Liang State of Song Jiang took Liangshan City as the core, radiating a little bit to the surrounding areas, and after so many years, it also occupied more than one county in Qingzhou, with more than 300,000 people, so naturally it also needed troops to garrison.

The base camp of Liangshan City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Song Jiang only left 10,000 troops, and 30,000 were stationed outside Liangshan, in order to naturally hold the territory that was difficult to fight.

"Wang Mang will arrive in Qingzhou in half a month at the latest, and once they are allowed to join the Liangshan army, it will be difficult to inflict heavy damage on the Liangshan army, so it must be defeated before Wang Mang's army arrives."

Ran Min and the other generals all showed a solemn look when they heard this, if Wang Mang really came so quickly, then the difficulty of this battle would be extraordinary.

With 25,000 Qin troops, it is not difficult to defeat 30,000 Liangshan troops, but the difficulty is that the Liangshan army is scattered and stationed in various places.

No matter how fast the Qin army moves, it is impossible to switch to this Liang country within half a month and wipe out the main force of the Liangshan army, at most it can only eliminate one Liangshan army, and this has little impact on the overall battle situation at all.

Half a month later, Wang Mang's army will arrive in Qingzhou, and then the Qin army will have to withdraw, after all, Liangshanbo is not so easy to fight, and it is impossible for the Qin army to consume troops in the siege.

Therefore, it seems to be an impossible task to defeat the main force of the Liangshan Army in World War I!

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Ming couldn't help but hold his head and wail in frustration: "How is this battle going to be fought? Unless Song Jiang gathers the army, and then takes the initiative to bump into the blade of our army. ”

All the generals also agreed with this, and at the same time looked at Li Jing suspiciously, obviously not understanding Li Jing's intention to send troops knowing this, was it just to annihilate a Liangshan army? But it doesn't make sense.

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled mysteriously and said, "General Qin Ming, you are really right, this Taishou just wants Song Jiang to take the initiative to gather the army, and then crash into the blade of our army." ”

Qin Ming said without thinking about it: "How is this possible, unless Song Jiang and Wu Yong's brains are flooded." ”

Ran Min looked thoughtful, and then couldn't help but grow his mouth, and said in surprise: "Lord Taishou, is it ......?"

Li Jing didn't expect Ran Min to guess it so quickly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "That's right, General Ran Min, it's what you think." ”

Seeing that the two of them were only halfway apart, all the generals were a little foggy, and Qin Ming hurriedly asked, "What is this?" Can you make that clear? ”

A trace of coldness flashed on Ran Min's face, and he sneered: "Song Jiang, although his ability to lead the army to fight is not very good, he is also quite cautious.

Once it is known that our army is coming to attack on its own initiative, with Song Jiang's caution, he may abandon the territory outside Liangshan and lead the army to hide directly in Liangshan until Wang Mang's army arrives. ”

Hearing Li Jing say this, Tai Shici's brows couldn't help frowning, and he asked, "Brother Ran, Song Jiang is also a prince, and he has more troops in his hands than us, so he shouldn't be so cowardly, right?" ”

"No, Ziyi, Song Jiang is not as tough as you think."

Ran Min said with a determined face: "Anyway, as long as Wang Mang's reinforcements arrive, our army must also withdraw, so giving up the city except for Liangshan is not a loss for Song Jiang, and fighting our army alone will take risks."

Ziyi, if you were Song Jiang, what would you choose? ”

Hearing this, Tai Shi Ci also showed a sudden look, and said in surprise: "If you say that, ...... it?"

"That's right."

Seeing that Tai Shici also saw it, Li Jing's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of relief, and then smiled: "If Song Jiang wants to retreat to Liangshan, he will definitely let the army gather, and that is the only chance for our army." ”

Qin Ming had already listened to it thoroughly, and although he still didn't know why in his heart, he just felt that it was very powerful.

Ran Min and Tai Shici looked at Li Jing with admiration, Tai Shou's understanding of Song Jiang was probably not much less than that of Song Jiang himself.

At the same time, Song Jiang checked the news of Qin Jun every day, and saw that nothing abnormal had happened, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"The army of the imperial court is still half a month away, and Your Majesty promises that when Li Jing's department is eliminated, Beihai County will belong to my Liang State, and then my Liang State will definitely increase its strength."

Song Jiang laughed happily, but what he didn't know was that Zhu Tianpeng also wanted Beihai County, and directly sent 70,000 troops to fight for it, so even if Li Jing was eliminated, Beihai County would not be owned by Liangshan.

"Lord, Li Jing's reaction is a little abnormal." Wu Yong frowned.

When Song Jiang heard this, his heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

After pondering for a while, Wu Yong sighed: "I can't say it, it just doesn't feel like Li Jing's style, in short, it's better to be cautious." ”

Of course, Li Jing did not forget Wu Yong, the methods he prepared were mainly to confuse Wu Yong, after all, Song Jiang alone did not need to be so troublesome at all.

Wu Yong's strategy level is not low, and his intelligence is as high as 95 points, but compared with Li Jing, who has an intelligence of 98, there is obviously still a big gap.

Wu Yong just felt that Li Jing's style of acting had changed, after all, the situation faced by the Qin army with enemies on all sides was completely in line with common sense.
