A few days later, King Ryoshi arrived at the front. Knowing of his arrival, the generals of the Liang army naturally all came out to greet him, knelt down on one knee in unison, clasped their fists and said, "Welcome to the king"

"Generals don't have to be polite, they are all flat." King Liang waved his hand.

"King Xie"

"Speak in the tent." As soon as the words fell, King Liang had already taken the lead in walking towards the big tent. He was dressed in a royal robe, with a hosta tied up his hair, and a group of generals followed closely and rushed in.

After coming in, King Liang was naturally in the handsome position, and the generals were on both sides. After casually flipping through the bamboo slips on the handsome case, King Liang looked around again and said, "General Xue Wu is still in Songling?" ”

"Yes, the king, General Tang Yue, together with Xue Shuai, has captured Songling for two months." The lieutenant returned.

"Yes." King Liang nodded, and couldn't help but say: "General Xue Wu is really bold, who uses soldiers, dares to take such a risk, you must know that Songling, it is easy to attack and not defend, after the occupation, it will also enter behind the enemy, isolated, and there is a danger of destruction at any time." ”

"The king doesn't have to worry, before Xue Shuai, he knew that Songling was bait, and the reason why this is so is that he also wants to enliven the battlefield on all fronts." The adjutant explained.

"What you said, this king doesn't understand it too well, if it comes to the use of soldiers, the outnumbered people are not as good as General Xue Wu, and I believe that he will not disappoint." Liang Wang Road.

"I, Wang Xiongcai, ......," the adjutant general hurriedly complimented.

"Okay, don't shoot the sycophants, let's talk about the war." King Liang interrupted him directly.

"Yes." The adjutant general responded, and hurriedly began to explain: "Our army and the Jin army have been fighting for more than ten months, between Xue Shuai and Ren Ying have had several major battles, and the strength of the two sides has suffered losses from each other, and today, the Jin army has 200,000 people, which is less than 160,000, and the situation of our army is roughly equal. ”

"And after Xue Shuai occupied Songling, the Renying defense line began to obviously turn from horizontal to vertical, wanting to cut off the connection between Songling and the main force of our army."

"How much grain and grass did General Xue Wu bring?" King Liang asked.

"It's not a lot, and at that time, I was traveling lightly and urgently, and I couldn't carry my baggage." The adjutant general said: "However, General Xue Wu has sent back a military order, ordering us not to support Songling no matter what, and beware of Ren Ying besieging the city to send reinforcements." ”

"That's ......" King Liang pondered for a moment, and then said: "General Sun, rest assured, this king has increased his troops by 100,000 and is rushing to the front line. General Sun, the deputy general of the Liang army, named Sun Yao, after hearing this, immediately overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "In this way, our army has the advantage of strength, and the king himself is in charge, the Jin army will be defeated...... On the other side, Ren Ying's department.

At this time, he had received a letter from the King of Jin, ordering him to divide his troops and quickly support the Puyang battlefield to prevent the Qin army from advancing eastward and delay time.

And after reading Wang Ling, he couldn't help frowning, and said with hatred: "Guan Jie made a mistake!" So stupid! Knowing that there are many thunderstorms in summer, he still doesn't change the camp construction, with that kind of terrain, isn't this a chance for Su Yi to attack in vain! What he said was somewhat an afterthought, with the situation on the Puyang front at that time, who could know what the hell Su Yi was doing.

"Ren...... Ren Shuai, what's wrong? The adjutant couldn't help but ask. Ren Ying took a deep breath, put down the silk book and said: "Guan Jie was defeated, and the king ordered me to divide my troops to prevent the Qin army from continuing to advance eastward. ”

"What?" Hearing this, the adjutant general was taken aback at first, and then said in embarrassment: "But, Ke Ren Shuai, the strength of our army is less than 160,000, and if we divide the troops again, I am afraid that this front will also be broken through by the Liang army." ”

"There's no way around it now!" Ren Ying said impatiently: "The king's consideration is right, if the army is not divided, the Qin army will be like a bamboo, all the way to the capital, at that time, the whole country is in danger!" ”

"Then, what can I do about this...... "The lieutenant general was a little panicked, and all the generals in the tent were also panicked. Ren Ying is very calm, as the commander of the whole army, when the situation is critical, he also has a calm judgment.

Ignoring the panic of the congregation generals, Ren Ying turned around directly, walked quickly to the military map, and began to study it carefully.

In the big tent, there was already a buzz, and for such a defeat, all the generals began to talk about it, and their tones were full of worry.

It wasn't until a long time later that Ren Ying retracted his gaze, then faced everyone and said directly: "General Du, I order you to lead an army of 100,000 and rush to the Puyang front to intercept the Qin army." Hearing this, Du Yu hurriedly said: "But Ren Shuai, if the last general leads an army of 100,000 and rushes to the Western Front, then there will be too few troops on the Guangling side." ”

"You just have to intercept the Qin army, on the Guangling side, the commander will withdraw from the front line, and after going to Songling, he will redeploy in the area of Yangping Pass." Ren Ying said.

"But in this way, several cities near Songling will all fall, Ah Ren Shuai."

"The battle situation is like this, you can only give up the small to take the big, and this war, if you plan the overall situation, don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, if Songling wants to lose, just lose it completely, retreat on the whole line, and block the Liang army at Yangping Pass." Ren Ying said, and said: "What my country wants is time!" Time is not good for Qin Liang, but for us, as long as we survive this time, we will all live! ”

"This ...... The last general understands! ”

"Go ahead and get ready! Travel lightly and quickly, just win a few days' food, don't bring any baggage, there will be supplies arriving in the country. Ren Ying urged.

"No!" Du Yu clenched his fists and left. After the military order on Ren Ying's side was issued, the 160,000 troops began to retreat across the line, of which 100,000 were to rush to the Qin and Jin battlefields, and 60,000 were to retreat to Yangping Pass.

At this time, due to Xue Wu's forcible occupation of Songling, in fact, the Liang army in Songling could make a certain block to the Jin army, and then cooperate with the main force, which would definitely have a certain effect.

The main force of the Liang army. With such a big move, how could the Jin army hide it, and the news was quickly spread to King Liang.

After listening to the spies' report, he first squinted, and then began to ponder. Seeing this, the deputy general Sun Yao said tentatively: "King, the retreat of the Jin army should be related to the defeat of Puyang, and now Xue Shuai is in Songling, in the opinion of the last general, he may take this opportunity to make a certain resistance to the Jin army." ”

"Nope." How do you know that King Liang raised his hand directly, and said quietly: "What are you going to do when the Jin army retreats?" It is inevitable to divide troops to block the eastward advance of the Qin army, we don't have to block it, let them pass. ”

"This ......" King Liang continued: "If Ren Ying is stopped, won't the Qin army have no one to manage, and they will be like a bamboo, and they will fight directly to the Jin capital?" When the time comes, the king will not even drink a mouthful of soup, which is not what the king wants to see. ”

"It is the best policy to let the Jin army divide its troops to intercept the Qin army and lose and consume each other." After speaking, King Liang immediately said again: "Quick! Immediately uploaded the king's decree and told Xue Wu to let him stand still. ”

"No!" His royal order was quickly transmitted to Xue Wu, and at this time, Xue Wu had naturally received the military information of Ren Ying's retreat, and was talking with Tang Yue about something.

Songling is a county seat, and in the hall, Tang Yue said: "Xue Shuai, after our army occupied Songling, a large-scale grain search was carried out, and now the people in the city have little surplus food. ”

"Don't panic, hasn't Ren Ying already withdrawn." Xue Wufeng said lightly.

"Then, we can use Songling as a point to ambush and intercept Ren Ying." Tang Yue said. As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried in: "Report"

"Xue Shuai, the king passed the book."

"Oh? Tell me to see it. Xue Wu hurriedly got up, and after taking the silk book, he unfolded it and looked at it, obviously stunned for a moment.

"Xue Shuai, what did the king say in his letter?" Tang Yue asked curiously. Xue Wu glanced at him: "The king asked us to leave the Jin army alone and let it pass." ”

"This ...... What's the situation, this is an opportunity, why let them go. Tang Yue was quite puzzled.

He is a general of the Liang Army, with a violent personality and invincible bravery, but he is also a straight man. Xue Wu shook his head slightly, and said: "The things that the king considers are not only military, but also political factors, and even the pattern of the world, we just need to obey the king's order, and the rest, we don't have to worry about ......"
