Chapter 968 Defeat in the First Battle!
Emperor Xinde collapsed, and an era ended like this, and after hearing the news, Lu Zheng of Lianghe also convened a group of strategists to discuss it.
Qi Yuanzhi said: "Emperor Xinde died, Song Wensong must be in panic, according to our spies, Shandong sent people to Jiangnan a month ago, it is obvious that Jiangnan and Shandong have joined forces has become a foregone conclusion!" ”
Zhang Pinghua stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, if Shandong and Jiangnan join forces, they will inevitably make a move against Huainan Dao, the Sun clan of Huainan Dao has declined in recent years, and if Huainan Dao is occupied by Shandong, our two rivers will be threatened!" In this case, we should support the Sun family, and we must not let the Sun family be threatened! ”
Lu Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Zhang Pinghua said it very well, I convened everyone today to discuss the matter of Huainan Dao!" Everyone speaks freely, what attitude should we have towards Huainan? ”
Lu Zheng said this, and the topic was circled, and the strategists under his hand said every word, and I offered advice and advice, Sun Yu said: "Lord Wang, there is a problem that is more embarrassing now, that is, we are here to discuss the crisis of the Sun family, but the Sun family himself does not feel that he is facing a catastrophe. In this case, they did not ask us for help, how can we send troops? ”
As soon as Sun Yu said this, the scene became cold, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a while! Sun Yu is right, no matter how dangerous Huainan Dao is, they have to ask for help Lu Zheng to send troops, if the other party does not ask for help, wouldn't Lu Zheng send troops to occupy Huainan Dao first?
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, muttering repeatedly, Liu Song sneered: "Huainan Dao and Lingnan Dao have always been disobedient, and now our army is pointing at Huainan, what if we want to expel the Sun clan!" We occupy Huainan Road, and we cut off the passage between Shandong and Jiangnan, so it will not be easy for Song Wensong and Long Zhaohuan to form an alliance! We are the army of kings, and we will send troops when we should send troops, and we don't need to hide it at all......"
Liu Song's words caused widespread discussions, and for a while, the concepts of all parties were arguing, and no one could convince anyone, and in this case, Lu Zheng was also quite confused.
Now that Lu Zheng's internal difficulties have been gradually lifted, after recuperation, Lianghe has become quite rich, and the next step must be to prepare for the use of troops, but now the situation has changed subtly, how to use troops?
Gyeonggi Long Lingxiu, Shandong Song Wensong and Jiangnan Long Zhaohuan, how should Lu Zheng break through these three forces? In addition, there are two forces of Huainan Road and Lingnan Road, should Lu Zheng take them directly?
I have to say that the things in this look simple, but when you think about it carefully, it is quite complicated, and it doesn't seem to be that simple!
Everyone argued for a long time, and the discussion had to be put on hold for the time being, after Lu Zheng came down, Sun Yu came to ask to see, he saw Lu Zheng bow down first, and said:
"The prince has a fierce debate today, I don't know what the prince thinks? Does the prince want to send troops to Huainan immediately, so as to cut off the passage between Shandong and Jiangnan? ”
Lu Zheng grinned and said, "Listening to Mr. Sun's tone, it seems that he doesn't think much of this strategy, let me ask Mr. Sun to tell me, what's wrong with this strategy?" ”
Sun Yu said: "If the prince attacks Lingnan Dao, the Sun clan will definitely not be able to stop it, and they will inevitably fall to Shandong or Jiangnan!" No matter which side it falls towards, it will definitely lead to close cooperation between Song Wensong and Long Zhaohuan. The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and it may not be a good move for us to take Huainan!
Huainan that place is a flat river, it is not easy to defend, if we take Huainan and do not hold it, this will inevitably weaken the prestige of the prince, in this case, why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, take a look first, wait and wait before moving? ”
Sun Yu paused and continued: "The current situation in the world has an absolute advantage for you, Lord Wang, and we can respond to all changes with no change. But for Song Wensong and Long Zhaohuan, if they don't move, they are waiting for death, so they have to do their best to toss! In such a situation, we can wait for a while and then slowly ......."
Sun Yu is worthy of being a famous strategist in the northwest back then, and his analysis of these words can be said to be the head of the way, and it is really the words of the old minister to seek the country! Lu Zheng was originally very hesitant in his heart, but after listening to Sun Yu's words, he agreed with him quite a lot.
After Sun Yu left, Qi Yuanzhi came over again, Qi Yuanzhi wanted to take Huainan, Lu Zheng told Sun Yu's concept to Qi Yuanzhi, Qi Yuanzhi was stunned for a long time, and said:
"The prince's thinking is very accessible, and the ambition is ashamed of himself, the prince's strategy is very appropriate, I think it is excellent!"
Qi Yuanzhi paused, and said: "If you say so, once Huainan Road falls into the hands of Song Wensong, Song Wensong's ambition will inevitably expand further, and after Jiangnan Long Zhaohuan and Song Wensong border, Song Wensong may have to encroach on the territory of Jiangnan under his vigorous ambitions, once that happens, the alliance between Jiangnan and Long Zhaohuan will be shaken, as long as the two of them can't be of one mind, we can be as stable as Mount Tai!" ”
"Mr. Qi is very reasonable, since this is the case, I think the strategy can be set! I heard that Shandong has a lot of complaints about my purge of the powerful and wealthy families, and Song Wensong is very disapproving!
That is just the right thing to do, let a few powerful families who have fallen to Beiyan go to Shandong, and let them engage in some incitement after arriving in Shandong, so that Song Wensong feels that my two rivers are still fighting among themselves, so that he can use troops against Huainan with peace of mind.
We are not in a hurry, in the past few years, the two rivers of raising soldiers and recuperating have been quite rich! If possible, I only hope that Lianghe will never encounter the devastation of war again, so that the people will always be too safe and healthy, so I am also happy to be a prince of peace, haha......"
Lu Zheng smiled very heartily, and it was obvious that his determination had been decided. Qi Yuanzhi hurriedly bowed and said: "The prince is really kind-hearted, which is admirable, so that my two rivers can sit back and relax!" ”
Lu Zheng decided not to move, and the news spread to Shandong, Shandong Song Wensong was very nervous, but when he heard the news, he was in a good mood and said:
"Lu Zheng is arrogant, just so we can use this opportunity to expand our strength as much as possible! Huainan Province has been decayed, and the Sun family can no longer be the master of the people of Huainan, since this is the case, I personally led the army to attack Huainan, and after taking Huainan, we Shandong will have the road to the south! ”
Song Wensong no longer procrastinated, and personally ordered 50,000 Haohao soup soup from Shandong to directly insert into the hinterland of Huainan.
When Huainan Sun Chongwen heard the news of the Shandong army's pressure on the border, he was very frightened, and he didn't know how to respond to the enemy for a while. Chen Hua, his general, said: "Why should the prince be alarmed? Shandong Song Wensong was beaten by Lu Zheng like a lost dog, so he got the land of projectiles! It's only been a few years of hard work, how much ability can he dare to attack me Huainan, I'll ask him to fight for a while! ”
Sun Chongwen was overjoyed, and immediately ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses to Chen Hua, Chen Huajun and Song Wensong's army fought in the Huainan border for three days, Chen Hua deserved to be a general, although the troops were small, but he relied on his familiarity with the situation in Huainan, and dragged Song Wensong around Huainan in circles, Song Wensong couldn't help him for a while!
Song Wensong couldn't help but be furious when he encountered this situation, you must know that he didn't put the Huainan Army in his eyes at all, in his opinion, the Sun family of Huainan Province is the dry bones in the mound, he can take it casually, he never expected that the Huainan Sun family would be so difficult, now if he can't quickly take Huainan Road, what if Lu Zheng uses troops against Shandong?
Immediately, Song Wensong summoned his generals over, scolded them, and then told them that if they couldn't take Chen Hua again, he would take military action against them.
Song Wensong's scolding worked, and Chen Hua was defeated in the battle the next day, but after Chen Hua failed, he did not go far, but continued to retreat to find a new place for defense. Obviously, Chen Hua is a veteran of combat, and he knows that Song Wensong came from afar to fight a quick battle, and if the two sides fight quickly, the Huainan army will inevitably suffer.
No, he can fail, but if he is defeated, he retreats a little and organizes defense, as long as he is not defeated, what if Song Wensong wins? Besides, Sun Chongwen didn't have any ideas, and when he heard that Song Wensong had led a large army to attack, he was very scared in his heart. However, Chen Hua used more than 20,000 people to block the incoming enemy, and his mind was stable.
Immediately, he immediately repaired a letter to Lianghe, and even agreed with Lu Zheng to let Lu Zheng attack Shandong, so that the two sides cooperated to take Shandong. Sun Chongwen's revision of the book is obviously nonsense, the purpose is to hope to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and let Lu Zheng relieve Huainan Dao.
After Lu Zheng saw the letter, he hesitated a little in his heart and pushed the boat down the river, letting Kuangzi lead an army of 30,000 to suddenly move and enter Dongshan, putting on a posture of attacking Shandong.
Song Wensong was supervising the battle, and heard the scout report that there was an abnormality in Dongshan, and Kuangzi, the army of Lianghe, led his men and horses across Dongshan and approached Shandong. As soon as he saw this news, he was so scared that he dared to fight again? Immediately led the army to retreat, Chen Hua saw that Song Wensong was leaving, and actually led 20,000 horses to pursue from behind, and the Huainan army, which was originally very embarrassed, raised his eyebrows and exhaled.
Song Wensong led the army to retreat to Jeju, but found that Kuangzi's army had already retreated back, and dared to love Lu Zheng just to mobilize troops and horses to scare him! Di Qinghai Road:
"Lord Wang, this time it's rash to use troops against Huainan! Being too contemptuous of the enemy and not having a quick solution has left us in passivity! Lu Zheng's defense against the two rivers must not be relaxed, Lu Zheng let Kuang Zi attack is actually false, don't think that he is scary because Lu Zheng did not let the army enter Shandong this time!
Lord Wang, for the time being, we still have to calm down and recuperate, it's best not to act rashly, so we may really fall into passivity......"
