Xue Chong pointed to the map and explained in detail the deployment in the early stage.

"This is also the safest way for me and Li Zhizhou, oh, now to think that after Li Bingbu has consulted together, to keep the enemy out of the country and firmly block them on the front line of Pingzhou."

Han Qi smiled and said, "General Xue, this time I came, but the situation has changed, so defending and keeping the enemy out of the country is no longer our best choice." ”

"Do you want to attack?" Xue Chong was stunned. "To pacify the envoy, most of the terrain in the northeast is flat, which is extremely suitable for cavalry combat, and under Zhang Zhongwu's command, the cavalry is the most prominent. On the banks of the Yishui River, his main cavalry was broken by Li Xiang with a blow and suffered heavy losses, but after so many years, he has recovered his breath. Over the years, although our right Jin Wuwei has also tried its best to develop cavalry, it is still far from enough compared to the other side. It's not easy to take the initiative to attack. ”

Han Qi nodded: "What General Xue said is very true, I don't do anything to attack the enemy's strengths with my own shortcomings." ”

"Is the pacifier still ready to take the initiative? I think that we can use our existing defensive line to fight a war of attrition against Zhang Zhongwu first, hold the defensive line, and then wait for Li Xiang to recover Chang'an, and then we will gather a large number of cavalry to launch a counterattack. Xue Chong said.

Han Qi smiled and said, "There are some cases, because of confidentiality, there will be no more than five people who know, but now, it can be disclosed to the two of them." ”

"What's the situation?" Xue Chong was stunned.

"This time our war against Zhang Zhongwu is not only the right Jin Wuwei to participate, in fact, there is another army and horses will also participate." Han Qi said: "This is the right leading guard led by General Wenfu. ”

"The right leader guards in Cangzhou!" Xue Chong was stunned at first, and then reacted: "Did you come from the sea?" ”

"Not bad." Han Qi said: "Wenfu's right leading army guard will land in Goryeo, first unite with the Goryeo army, and annihilate the Liao army led by Zhang Chengyou, the son of Zhang Zhongwu, and then they will go straight to Yingzhou from the land of Goryeo." Oh, I would like to add here that the general of the Liao army, the Khitan Yeluyuan, has already surrendered to us, and the battle with Zhang Chengyou has him as an internal response, so it will seem very easy. ”

"In this case, we can really strike!" Xue Chong was overjoyed.

Han Qi shook his head again: "The Right Jin Wuwei will not attack, but will retreat while fighting." ”

"What's the reasoning?"

"Zhang Zhongwu has a lot of cavalry, so the right to choose the battlefield lies with them, this is basically a straight line defensive formation now, he will never uproot one by one, but will use the advantage of cavalry, bypass our city, and go straight to our heart. Therefore, placing the main force at the forefront will not only not have a chance to fight Zhang Zhongwu, but will allow him to cut behind us, forcing us to take the initiative to find their cavalry. Once in the field, the superiority of their cavalry will be vividly displayed, and they will look for opportunities in constant movement, find our weaknesses, and constantly eat away at our main force. Han Qi said.

Wang Wenshu nodded: "There is indeed such a possibility." ”

"Therefore, the deployment of our troops should be deployed in echelons." Han Qi said: "In the early days of the war, we retreated while fighting, using echelon defensive formations and rolling back to make their cavalry have no gaps left. ”

As Han Qi's hand moved again and again, he finally stopped at Zunhua.

"The main force retreated, and then on the flanks, we had to defend one stronghold after another. General Xue, Wang Zhizhou, you see, after our main force withdrew to the land of Zunhua, what kind of shape did our entire formation become? Han Qi asked with a smile.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Xue Chong said: "Like a big horn!" ”

Han Qi laughed: "Yes, it's just a big horn." The two wings are the horn bodies that we stretch out, and the bottom is where our main force is located. ”

Xue Chong realized: "This is to induce Zhang Zhongwu to have a decisive battle with us here!" ”

"Not bad." Han Qi nodded: "When we arrive at this place, Zhang Zhongwu also has to fight with us." Such a temptation, but anyone who can't help it, because once he breaks through the bottom of the horn, the entire northern land, including the core of our rule like Zhenzhou Wuyi, will be completely exposed under his nose, and at this time, we have no extra armed forces in these places. The other troops all followed Li Xiang to attack Chang'an. ”

"What if?" Xue Chong's body is a little hot, this is naturally an opportunity to become famous in a fight, but it is also quite dangerous, if something goes wrong, then he Xue Chong will become a sinner for thousands of years. Even if Li Xianghui's army repelled Zhang Zhongwu at that time, a prosperous place like Zhenzhou Wuyi will inevitably suffer a great disaster, and he is afraid that many years of hard work will be ruined, and at that time, Han Qi will not be able to escape, and he will be fine?

"What, no faith?" What kind of person Han Qi was, he could see Xue Chong's worry at a glance.

"There are some!" Xue Chong nodded: "In the past few years, although there have been no large-scale battles between our army and the Liao army, the small-scale conflicts and the strangulation of scouts have never stopped. Let's be honest, we don't take advantage of too much. The combat effectiveness of the Liao army is still very impressive. Pacify the envoy, since there is a right leader from Goryeo, why should we take risks if we attack from two sides? Just fought hard with him, attacking in two ways, only the right leading guard appeared in Yingzhou, but Zhang Zhongwu was afraid that he would mess up. ”

"On the contrary, we are doing this precisely to force Zhang Zhongwu to fight a decisive battle with us. Otherwise, Zhang Zhongwu will inevitably give full play to his cavalry advantage, and when the time comes, our seemingly impenetrable defense will be full of loopholes. It only takes one breakthrough to collapse the entire defensive line. We give Zhang Zhongwu a chance to solve the problem with one blow, if he doesn't come and wants to fight a bad battle with us, then we don't care, as long as we hold Zunhua, his cavalry will have nowhere to exert force, no matter where he goes, he will run into our city. ”

Xue Chong groaned: "If there is really a decisive battle in Zunhua, Zhang Zhongwu will definitely concentrate all his troops, which is more than 100,000 troops. Mixed with the foot and horse, and the pacification envoy, this will be a terrifying force. ”

"Our main force will also be in Zunhua!" Han Qi said lightly: "Didn't you say just now that we can mobilize a reserve force of 80,000 people?" The troops on both sides of the horn were mixed with the right Jin Wuwei, and the number of five or five, and the rest were all concentrated in Zunhua. Zhang Zhongwu does not understand our military mobilization force, and will inevitably make mistakes in predicting our troop strength. This is our first advantage. ”

"What about the second one?" Wang Wenshu asked.

"Second, of course, Li Xiang was also worried about what happened, so Li Xiang still sent an army at the bottom of the box, and he would arrive directly in Zunhua at the right time. Guess what kind of army is going to be at the bottom of the box? Han Qi asked with a smile.

Xue Chong's mind flashed with inspiration, and he said loudly: "Li Han." Li Han's Mo Dao team. ”

Han Qi took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Yes, it's the Modao Army." In seven years, from the initial five hundred Mo knife hands, to now, a full five thousand Mo knife hands. At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, there were only 5,000 Mo sword soldiers. Now Li Xiang has only half of the country, and he has formed 5,000 Mo sword soldiers. ”

Xue Chong was so excited that his face was flushed, the Mo sword soldier is almost the pinnacle of the infantry in this era, it can be called an invincible existence, it can only be different, it is too expensive to raise a Mo knife soldier, just a Mo knife is made, it will take several years, and the Mo knife soldier is a big killer weapon in the current imperial court, ordinary people don't know how many Mo knife soldiers there are and how big the scale is. For a long time, people like Xue Chong thought that there were about 2,000 Mo Sword soldiers at most, but now that he knows that there are 5,000 people, then he is still afraid of Zhang Zhongwu, who is a fart!

On the bank of the Yishui River, it was the Mo sword soldiers led by Li Han who stubbornly withstood the impact of Zhang Zhongwu's iron cavalry at the first time, which laid the foundation for the later victory.

"At this time, even if Zhang Zhongwu was attacked by Wenfu's army because of his old nest Yingzhou, he was also ready to shoot and had to send it, and he could only hope that after defeating us in a battle, he could only return to the division to save Yingzhou, otherwise if he dared to withdraw from the army, a big rout would inevitably be unavoidable, with Zhang Zhongwu's cognition, he would naturally be lonely and gamble on luck, so this battle, General Xue, although Li Han's Modao team helped in the battle, but for us, it was still a bitter battle." Han Qi said.

"It's a tough battle for us, but for Zhang Zhongwu, it's a battle that we can't afford to lose, so we have more options, and he only has one way to go to the dark!" Bao Hui, who had been silent, smiled at this time. He wasn't good at military affairs, so he always played the role of a listener. But none of the people present despised him.

Bao Hui is a Zhizhou, and he is even more famous among the people, this person was abused by his brother when he was young and suffered a lot, but after his brother's death, he followed Li Rui, that is, Hu Twelve at that time, and developed step by step. At this time, he picked up his sister-in-law, nephews and nieces and brought them over, and he was raised by him, which is a typical example of repaying grievances with virtue. In this respect, his character is beyond reproach, and more importantly, this guy is also an internal defender. It is an internal guard with extremely high authority who has the right to directly submit secret reports to Li Ze. After Li Rui withdrew from the internal guard, the internal security system of the entire Northeast was all controlled by this person.

It's just that there are very few people who know this, but these few people present are exactly the ones who know this.

Han Qi looked at Bao Hui.

Bao Hui smiled and said, "Mo Zhou will naturally cooperate fully according to the meaning of the pacification envoy. Of course, the internal guards in the northeast have already been launched, and Weiwu Mountain will also surprise Zhang Zhongwu at that time, they have successfully rebelled against a group of people. By then, it is estimated that about 10,000 men will be able to gather troops. Flank at both ends, bloom in the middle, and use the fastest speed to solve the war in the northeast. ”

"Yes, as fast as you can." Han Qi said: "After Li Xiang takes Chang'an, there are more important things to do. ”

Everyone nodded knowingly.

Only Xue Chong looked at Han Qi with a strange gaze, how did this well-known royalist change his course and be won over by Li Xiang?

He was a little puzzled.

So he regarded Li Ze as a celestial being.

First Xue Ping, then Han Qi, the little emperor is now almost a light pole.
