After a long march, Song Naifeng's army finally arrived outside the city of Tanzhou, from the state to Tanzhou, it takes nearly a thousand miles, this way Song Naifeng is fighting, every place, he first stabilized the place, out of the list of the people, and then captured the next city, so step by step, Song Naifeng's army is also slowly replenished in the process of this road, from the state to Tanzhou, Song Naifeng re-replenished 100,000 cavalry.

And unlike Miao Cheng, Song Naifeng will never let his 100,000 army disperse now, 100,000 iron cavalry, advance and retreat together, like an arm, this time Song Naifeng is going to swear to break Tanzhou.

Tanzhou, Tongzhou and then the capital, three points and one line, this is the defensive array placed by Lu Zheng, how many people does Lu Zheng have in this line? Lu Zheng's Nanfu army has more than 60,000 people, and the Northwest Army left by Song Wensong has more than 40,000 people, and there are more than 100,000 people in total!

Lu Zheng divided the 100,000 horses into two parts, one was guarded in Tanzhou, relying on natural danger to confront the opponent, and Song Wensong's army was placed in the capital, and Tongzhou was an empty city, not a single soldier was stationed!

This arrangement and arrangement has really been opposed by many people, the first objection is Song Wensong's several strategists, Wu Liewen said: "The chief manager, you are obviously hesitant to arrange such a formation, on the one hand, you want to fight with Song Naifeng, but on the other hand, it seems that you want to retreat to the capital, relying on the defense of the capital on the whole line, and Tongzhou is an empty city, and the distance between Tanzhou and the capital is relatively far away, if Tanzhou is in crisis, the reinforcements of the capital are a little too late!" ”

Xing Zhengdao: "Grand Administrator, this time Song Naifeng came from the north, eyeing the tiger, it is only 100,000 cavalry, and our troops are almost 100,000, 100,000 against 100,000, if it is in the wilderness, it is difficult for us to be the enemy, but if we rely on the city to resist, the situation will definitely be different, it is not yet known who will kill the deer on both sides, or at least we have the strength to fight!" ”

In the face of everyone's doubts, Lu Zheng just smiled and said nothing: "Everyone, you are the people of the three generals, and I have a good relationship with the three generals, and the relationship is extraordinary. No matter what, even when it comes to the most dangerous time, I will not let the Northwest Army be buried in my hands!

If Song Naifeng also thinks that I am hesitant, I can plan and lead him into the urn at a critical time, don't you say? ”

When Lu Zheng said this, all the strategists and generals of the Northwest Army looked at each other and were speechless. On the one hand, they had doubts about Lu Zheng's deployment arrangements, and on the other hand, the instructions from Song Wensong in the south of the Yangtze River were very subtle.

Lu Zheng and Song Wensong have cooperation in the north, because the tens of thousands of horses under Song Wensong are under Lu Zheng's hands, Song Wensong can't control it, he needs to rely on Lu Zheng.

In Jiangnan, Song Wensong is now wrapped up with the crown prince Long Zhaohuan, and the interests of the two sides converge, and in this regard, he is on the opposite side of the Lu family, including Lu Zheng. Therefore, in the deployment of the Song family army in the capital, Song Wensong was very conflicted in his heart!

Therefore, on the one hand, he told Lu Zheng that he resolutely supported Lu Zheng in the military affairs of the Northland, and that Lu Zheng could control the situation with full authority, and on the other hand, he secretly passed on the message to his generals and strategists, Feige, so that they could wait for the opportunity to move, and once they had the opportunity, they would immediately protect themselves.

If the capital is defeated, the Northwest Army can move south on a large scale, so that Song Wensong can control tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the north is lost, Song Wensong can also take the lead in the south of the Yangtze River, so as to have the power to counterattack.

Therefore, Lu Zheng's arrangement of troops did not let Song San's Northwest Army and Nanfu Army merge into one furnace, Lu Zheng knew the situation of the Northwest Army well, so he absolutely could not allow them to bring negative emotions into the Nanfu Army.

Lu Zheng arranged like this, the two sides collided in Tanzhou, Liu Song convened the generals to discuss the matter, he said: "General, the current situation is like this, we will wait for work, and Song Naifeng will work on an expedition!" Even though our strength is weaker, but we have Tanzhou's natural risks, we will take Tanzhou as the foundation, promote our strengths and avoid weaknesses and Song Naifeng's death, I don't believe that we will lose this battle! ”

Liu Song's statement, many of his generals agreed, the Nanfu army from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, they followed Liu Song to fight in the south and the north, and they were no longer recruits!

In fact, the Nanfu army has fought a lot of hard battles, especially Lu Zheng led them to three battles and three victories in Miaocheng, and they have also experienced extremely severe tests in the process, so their combat power is actually quite not weak.

However, the combat strength of the Northwest Army cannot be measured by common sense, and the cavalry of the Northwest Army is all good at riding and shooting, and the formation is rigorous and disciplined, and the Nanfu Army is still more than a little worse than them.

But now the morale of the Nanfu army is very high, because of three big battles, three victories, morale is available, Liu Song's prestige is extremely high, and when he shouted, many generals below were enthusiastic.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Zheng's mouth turned up slightly, and said: "Everyone, in the recent period, we have not wasted our efforts, on the one hand, we have cleaned up the army, and now we are strong enough to fight with our opponents."

In addition, we mobilized tens of thousands of people to build the city of Tanzhou, built the city of Tanzhou, laid out giant deer and horses, iron thorn formation, hoarded a year's fine grain in the city, and laid down three labyrinth formations, just with this city, we can hold Tanzhou for a year.

The Northwest Army is only 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if they have 300,000 soldiers and horses, what can they do to me? ”

Lu Zheng paused and said: "Lu was in the northwest back then, relying on a small county town and thousands of people, so he used these arrangements in Tanzhou to block the attack of the Turkic iron cavalry and protect the lives of the people in the county from being offended by foreigners.

Today, we have more than ten times the strength of the year, and the opponent is almost the same as us, if they want to pass from Tanzhou, then they have to ask me if Lu Zheng agrees! The Northwest Army is the first army of my Dakang, and the Northwest General Song Naifeng is known as the first fierce general of my Dakang, haha, but unfortunately Lian Po is old, and he met our Nanfu Army, and he, the first fierce general, can only sink into the sand and fold! ”

Lu Zheng's words were full of passion, and the generals under his command were excited to hear it, and everyone performed their duties and arranged the defense of Tanzhou strictly.

Lu Zheng has a lot of research on defending the city, and according to the traditional method of defending the city, it is to build a high wall, defend the four gates, and then defend the enemy through the four gates. According to the traditional method, Lu Zheng also set up the depth of the three defense lines at the same time, concave the four city gates into the city wall, expanding the contact area between the city wall and the attacking side, and at the same time there was a depth arrangement in the city, and the ecstasy formation was arranged between the two city gates of the east gate and the west gate.

Lu Zheng put on a posture of defending Tanzhou, but everyone thought that Lu Zheng couldn't hold it, and the subtlety of this was really mysterious!

Song Naifeng was not in a hurry to attack the city, after his army pressed the border, the first step was to cut off all communication between Tanzhou and the surrounding cities, so that 100,000 horses and horses could be continuously pressed around Tanzhou, completely surrounding Tanzhou in the middle.

After completing the siege of Tanzhou, the second step he did was to immediately repair the book to Cao Weiming, so that Cao Weiming could quickly send troops to the capital and oppress the capital!

The third thing is that Song Naifeng repaired the book to Tan Lei, and asked Tan Lei to lead the Liaodong Iron Cavalry into the customs, and agreed with Tan Lei that the two of them would share the rivers and mountains in the customs!

Song Naifeng is the first general of Dakang, his prestige is very high, the relationship is very wide, seeing his army besieging Tanzhou, Cao Weiming has been deterred by Lu Zheng, and now there is a loosening, he still trusts Song Naifeng more after all, even if he orders 50,000 troops, starting from Bianzhou, Haohao Tangtang is directly approaching the capital, causing a strong oppression to the capital.

After Tan Lei received Song Naifeng's letter, he immediately ordered 50,000 troops from Liaodong to quickly cross the pass, went directly south, and came to the capital.

Lu Zheng was prepared to make arrangements, but Song Naifeng was not easy to get on Lu Zheng's time, he did not attack Tanzhou City, but calmly mobilized soldiers and horses from other parts of the Northland, so that all the Northland heroes formed a siege of the capital, this time, all the forces of the Northland converged together, and the three parties were all anti-thieves, only Lu Zheng represented Dakang, how could Lu Zheng's situation not be dangerous?

The news of Tanzhou and the capital quickly spread to Jiangnan, and Jiangnan set off huge waves, and even Emperor Xinde, who had been in retreat for a lot of wine, was also alarmed, and he was very shocked and said:

"Whose fault is it that things are not going well in the Northland? This is Song Naifeng's crime to unite the world and seize the foundation of my great well-being! Now that this is the case, how can we solve the crisis? ”

Emperor Xinde said this, the audience was speechless, and immediately a minister said: "The crisis in the capital is mainly due to the improper use of troops by the general Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng should use troops to defend the capital, relying on the capital as the core, and bringing all the troops together, so there is a turnaround, now in such a situation, Tanzhou has been surrounded by Song Naifeng, and the northwest army in the capital is deterred by Cao Weiming, and the Liaodong iron cavalry is also going south to the capital, how can the capital be held?"

Once the capital fails, the foundation of Dakang in the north will be completely uprooted, and from now on, my Dakang will have no influence in the north! In this way, the rebels in the north are bound to be even more arrogant, if they go south immediately, can I hold Jiangnan? Can we be safe in Jinling? ”

This minister is none other than Duan Tangshan, the royal history of Long Zhaohuan, the Duan family and the Lu family in the capital have not dealt with each other, when Lu Zheng was in Jiangnan, the Duan family was almost swept by Lu Zheng, and after Long Zhaohuan arrived in Jiangnan, he wanted to sing a duet with the Lu family, so he reused Duan Tangshan.

Duan Tangshan can be mediocre, the only advantage is to obey Long Zhaohuan's words, this time the north is in crisis, he has only one belief in his heart, that is, let Lu Zheng fall into passivity, weaken the power of the Lu family, the north is broken, the Lu family will also decline, and from now on, the court of Dakang will be turned upside down!
