Chapter 1597: Pouring Out of the Nest

Liangshanbo's 80,000 Northern Han Combined Army consisted of four forces:

Wang Mang, 5,000 soldiers and horses of the headquarters (composed of the remnants of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng);

Song Yu, 10,000 Liangshan troops (refuge in Wang Mang);

Zhou Yafu, 5,000 Youzhou cavalry;

Gongsun Shu, 30,000 Liao troops (dependent on Wang Mang);

Sand roller blinds, 30,000 Zhao troops (new army).

Therefore, the coalition army is not Wang Mang alone at all, even the Liao army of Gongsun Shu is only a cooperative relationship, and the army that belongs to Wang Mang is only 15,000 soldiers and horses, and although Sha Roll Blind and Zhou Yafu will listen to his orders, they will definitely not listen to Wang Mang for everything.

Therefore, if Wang Mang wants to fight a decisive battle, he must also convince other generals.

Regarding the decisive battle with Li Jing, Sha Roll Blind, Gongsun Shu and Zhou Yafu, the three of them felt that it was a little too risky.

"Li Jing has always planned and then moved, now that Liangshan and the Qi army have been defeated, with the strength of the Qin army, they could have defended to the death, but Li Jing chose a decisive battle, obviously Li Jing has a certain certainty, so ......"

Zhou Yafu shook his head and said, "Facing the battle at this time, I'm afraid I will fall into a trap, it's not advisable." ”

"That's right, that's right......"

Sha Roll Blind and Gongsun Shu also nodded, looking extremely in awe of Li Jing, obviously frightened by Li Jing's achievements.

Not to mention the three of them, even Wang Mang was also taken aback when he learned that Li Jing had defeated Liangshan and Qi in a row, even if Chen Qingzhi came to persuade him, he couldn't dispel the worries in his heart, if it weren't for Zhu Tianpeng's handwritten letter, Wang Mang probably wouldn't have decided to fight so quickly.

Wang Mang also knew that if he couldn't come up with the certainty of winning, it would be impossible for the three generals of the sand curtain to support him, so he took out Zhu Tianpeng's handwritten letter and handed it to the three of them.

"This ......"

The three of them looked at each other, a little unsure of what Wang Mang meant.

"You'll understand when you're done." Wang Mang said.

Hearing this, Gongsun Shu took it and opened it, and the sand roller shutter and Zhou Yafu also came over, and the three of them browsed together.

After reading it, the three generals all looked solemn, and the sand curtain said in a deep voice: "Zhu Tianpeng will really cooperate with us?" Is his plan really viable? To know ......"

Wang Mang raised his hand to interrupt the sand roller blind, and said with a light smile: "Since Zhu Tianpeng has brought it up, it proves that he must be sure, otherwise it will be himself who suffers."

If it really doesn't work, we will have nothing to lose if we retreat. ”

Hearing Wang Mang say this, the three generals such as Sha Roll Blind all nodded in unison, and they all agreed with Wang Mang's decisive battle plan.

After seeing this scene, Wang Mang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "Li Jing, you will lose this time." ”

In fact, even without Zhu Tianpeng's cooperation, Wang Mang would still have a decisive battle with Li Jing, but there was no certainty of victory, and this time with Zhu Tianpeng's cooperation, Wang Mang was absolutely sure that he could defeat Li Jing.

——————————

North Sea.

After receiving the news of Wang Mang's battle, Li Jing was not surprised at all, and immediately launched a strategic deployment.

In the previous two wars, Li Jing used too many strategies, using a series of tactics to fight Song Jiang, and attacking Zhu Tianpeng with water, so this time Wang Mang must strictly prevent Li Jing from using tactics.

Wang Mang and Li Jing's intelligence is 98 points, except for the gap in commanders, Wang Mang's strategy is not much worse than Li Jing, plus he has been strictly guarded in advance, Li Jing is naturally difficult to succeed in thinking about it, so it is conceivable that this battle must be a tough battle.

The Northern Han United Army has a full 80,000 troops, and it is already extremely vigilant against the Qin army, in the face of such an opponent, even Li Jing does not dare to hold it up, and he must do his best to be sure of victory, so he only left 3,000 defenders in Beihai, and it is also a surrender army and a naval army.

At the gate of the city, Li Jing looked at Fu Nian and Fusu in front of him, bowed, and said, "Two gentlemen, Beihai City will be handed over to you." ”

Fu Nian and Fu Su both returned a salute, and Fu Nian said: "Taishou rest assured, please leave, as long as the two of us are here, Beihai City will be safe." ”

Li Jing also nodded, although the three thousand defenders were few, the safety of a city in Beihai was not so important compared to the entire Qingzhou battle situation.

If this battle can defeat Wang Mang's army, even if Beihai City is lost, it will be worth it, but if it is lost, Beihai City will definitely not be able to hold it.

"Qi Yu Taishou, 5,000 cavalry, 52,000 infantry, has been assembled, the whole army of 57,000 troops, ready to set off at any time." Tai Shi Ci rode over and reported.

Li Jing looked at the south and asked, "Zhu Tianpeng's 10,000 sailors, is there any change?" ”

"Nothing has happened."

Hearing this, Li Jing was completely relieved, immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, and ordered: "The whole army is set off." ”

"No."

With Li Jing's order, the 57,000 Qin troops left Beihai City in an orderly manner, and the accompanying generals were: Ran Min, Jintai, Tai Shici, Qin Ming, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Shi Jin, Lu Zhishen, Hu Yanzhuo, Chao Gai and many other generals, who can definitely be called elite and strong generals.

As soon as Li Jing's army left the city, the Northern Han Union and the army also left Shuibo Liangshan, and still poured out.

Wang Mang did not leave any defenders in the Qi State, including Shuibo Liangshan, and the 80,000-strong army poured out directly, as if he was invincible and dead.

The lineup of the Northern Han Combined Army was also huge, in addition to Wang Mang and Chen Qingzhi commanding the army, the generals were: Ju Wuba, Gongsun Shu, Tan Taiyu, Sha Roller Blind, Zhou Yafu, Xun Yu, Wu Yong, and Song Yu.

Knowing that the Northern Han Dynasty was dispatched, Li Jing couldn't help frowning and muttered to himself: "Something is wrong, Wang Mang is so determined this time?" didn't even leave a single soldier in Shuibo Liangshan,"

"Maybe Wang Mang wants to break the boat, so he doesn't leave any way out and comes out." Ran Min said.

"Then there is no need to even arrange defenders in Liangshanbo, in case of defeat, our army will be able to drive straight in, and then the Jizhou battlefield will be affected, Wang Mang can't afford this responsibility, and Sha Roll Blind and Zhou Yafu won't let him come so nonsense."

"And what's going on now?" Ran Min asked suspiciously, he also felt that something was wrong.

After Li Jing pondered for a while, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly: "Unless Wang Mang is sure of victory." ”

"How is this possible?"

Ran Min looked undeniable, and said: "How can there be any certainty of victory in a war, even our army does not dare to say that it will win, where does he have the confidence to win?" ”

"That's the weirdest part." Li Jing sighed, he didn't understand Wang Mang's operation for a while.

"Lord Taishou, where are you going, what should I do now? Fight or withdraw? Jintai asked.

Li Jing didn't think about it, and said decisively: "Of course it's a fight." The final battle is imminent, how can you avoid the battle because you have not understood the opponent's intentions? ”

"But ......"

Li Jing interrupted Jintai's words and said in a deep voice: "In short, everyone should be cautious, and before the decisive moment comes, there must not be the slightest carelessness, so as to prevent falling into the opponent's calculations." ”

"No."
