Song Naifeng made up his mind to divide and conquer the situation under his rule first, and now his trouble came from the north on the one hand, Song Wensong's cavalry harassed frequently, so that the north was frequently in danger, and directly threatened the gateway to the north and the south.

Although judging from the intelligence fed back by the scouts, Song Wensong's strength is not enough to threaten the annexation, but Song Naifeng is not at ease with the annexation, once the annexation is lost, Song Naifeng will be seriously threatened in the pass.

Under such circumstances, Song Naifeng could only postpone the attack on Yuzhou, but let Chuan Shanyue lead the cavalry to quickly march north, wanting to fight a decisive battle with Song Wensong on the front line of Bingzhou and Miaocheng, or even take Song Wensong, so as to completely smash Lu Zheng's plan.

I have to say that Song Naifeng's strategy is right, and his strategy is also in line with Lu Zheng's expectations, Song Naifeng postponed the attack on Yuzhou, giving Lu Zheng a chance to breathe, and more importantly, Lu Zheng stayed in Lianghe for one more day, and he could benefit from the new policy promoted in Lianghe for one more day.

When his soldiers are endless, and when he no longer worries about food and grass, he can train more soldiers, at least in the Lianghe region, he is sure to train tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and at a critical time, these elite soldiers will be an important weight to determine the outcome of the victory.

And for Song Naifeng, he arrived in the Guannei as a northwesterner, it is not easy for him to dredge the decree, the so-called Great Qian Dynasty is not right, the words are not good, the emperor of the Qian Dynasty Long Zhaoyan is the abolished prince of Dakang, in the hearts of the people, in the hearts of those who have left the old and the young, Song Naifeng is a thief, at all levels of society, the Northwest Army occupies the capital with a very negative attitude.

Song Naifeng was shrewd, after he occupied the capital, he decided to abandon the northwest, and transferred almost all the iron cavalry in the northwest to Guannei, his plan was to fight Lu Zheng here and drive Lu Zheng out of the north. In addition, he also had strong reinforcements for the Liaodong Army, and Huainan Province and Lingnan Province also echoed him, and they worked together to oppose the Great Kang Dynasty.

I have to say that Song Naifeng's plan is feasible and very lethal, but from the perspective of time, time is not actually on his side.

Lu Zheng's implementation of a very enlightened decree has set off a lot of waves in Lianghe, the Cao family and the Zhao family of Lianghe were almost uprooted by him, and at the same time, the second-line and third-line families before Lianghe began to rise, Lu Zheng's strategy has been supported and responded to by many people, and everything in the Lianghe area is developing in a good direction.

Lu Zheng's advantage is something that Song Naifeng can't learn no matter what, and now the key to the problem is whether Lu Zheng, who is on the weak side, can he withstand Song Naifeng's crazy suppression of getting up early, Lu Zheng found Song Wensong at a critical time, how long can Song Wensong withstand it?

The army of Chuanshan Yue went to the north, and the city wall of Bingzhou was as solid as iron, Song Wensong's cavalry was gradually compressed, if he fled to the northeast, that was the territory of the Liaodong iron cavalry, Song Wensong can be said to be in the opponent's stomach to turn the sky, and the danger can be foreseen needless to say.

"The old man still hates me to the bone! Let Chuan Shanyue deal with me, I would rather give up attacking Yuzhou than put me to death at any cost, this kind of hatred really makes me feel extremely cold! Song Wensong's face was blue, holding the scout's report in his hand, and his tone was extremely angry.

He looked around, his voice suddenly raised, and said: "What should we do now, this guy in Chuanshanyue is not these defenders of Miao City, this person's combat strength is not below me, and they have three times our iron cavalry, if we collide with it, we will almost beg for death!"

We only have this one man, and even if we are disabled, it will be difficult for us to survive in the current situation! ”

The strategists and generals were silent, but Qi Yuanzhi smiled faintly and said: "General, don't panic, for today's plan, we can only ask Yuzhou for help, the general can rest assured, our Nanfu Army is one heart, Lord Lu handed over the Nanfu Army to you, and he will not ignore you, let alone the soldiers of the Nanfu Army!" ”

Qi Yuanzhi's fluttering words stabilized the general's heart, and at the same time, he also set a trap on Lu Zheng. If Lu Zheng didn't save Song Wensong, would these 20,000 people still be dead set on Lu Zheng? In this way, Song Wensong can quickly establish his authority.

Qi Yuanzhi paused, and said: "We are in the north, and Bingzhou is a place where soldiers must fight, if Bingzhou is lost, the 30,000 people in Chuanshan will not be able to encircle us, and the tactics of the Northwest Army will be completely ineffective!" ”

"How can you take it down? It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there is no Sichuan Mountain, our strength will not be able to win the state! Immediately some of the generals shouted loudly, and it was clear that they were telling the truth.

Qi Yuanzhi laughed and said, "Yes, so what are you anxious about?" Since Lu Zheng has set up a plot, he must have aimed at Bingzhou Di! If we can't threaten the state, what's the point of us traveling thousands of miles from Yuzhou to Beidi?

So everyone, I judge that Lu Zheng has divided his troops into two ways, our route is led by the general in the light, and there is another road lurking in this line, in the dark, and now Chuanshanyue has sent troops, if we don't take the initiative to tell Lu Zheng urgently, he will definitely not move.

Therefore, now we have to quickly give Lu Zheng an emergency, and then Lu Zheng will definitely let us occupy Miaocheng, relying on the first line of Miaocheng and Chuanshan to block the road to the north of Chuanshanyue. If that's the case, there will definitely be war in the annexed states! ”

Qi Yuanzhi talked eloquently, and when he said this, everyone opened their mouths wide, and even Song Wensong was extremely impressed. Many truths are not worth mentioning after they are explained, but when they are not clear, it is difficult to explain them clearly.

Obviously, Lu Zheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he gave Song Wensong 20,000 horses, not that Song Wensong would kill all 20,000 people soon, so as to completely become cannon fodder, he must have a deeper strategy.

The capital and Yuzhou and the two rivers are facing each other, but now that Song Naifeng chooses to be in the north on the battlefield, can Lu Zheng make Song Wensong really be attacked and fall into a desperate situation? If Song Wensong is destroyed like this, it will definitely be a huge disaster for Lu Zheng.

Song Wensong said: "Come on, send Lu Zheng an expedited eight hundred miles, and I will write it myself!" ”

……

The weather in Yuzhou is very dry, in the General's Mansion, several wives of Lu Zheng are there, these days Lu Zheng's family is reunited, happy and happy, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

The north is not very peaceful, Yuzhou and the capital are only a few hundred miles apart, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides face each other, the cavalry of the Northwest Army frequently appears near Yuzhou, the most recent one they have reached a mile outside the city gate.

The cavalry ranger spies, they come and go like the wind, and they are very fond of looting, so many people near Yuzhou have suffered, and from the information transmitted from all sides, it seems that a big war has been inevitable.

But in Yuzhou City, there is no atmosphere of war, the wine shop teahouse is still thriving, the street is still full of people, the key is the Yuzhou General's Mansion, still stable as a rock, the stability and peace of Yuzhou City makes people very sure, because everyone believes that the general manager Lu Zheng will never give up Yuzhou, because he took over his family and even his father-in-law, and Lu Zheng's ability is also widely spread in Yuzhou, among which the most popular is that he used a small county town to block the enemy's 30,000 iron cavalry with thousands of foot soldiers, Such a rumor is undoubtedly very morale-boosting.

Because the gap between Yuzhou and the capital is not big in terms of numbers alone, the army in Yuzhou is also expanding rapidly, with the implementation of the new policy, there are many people around Yuzhou, around Bianzhou, there are many people beating gongs and drums with the army!

In Lu Zheng's conference hall, all the strategists gathered, and many generals looked very solemn, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Why are you so heavy?" At least the mountains and mountains go north, and we can relax in Yuzhou for a while! ”

"Song Wensong's eight hundred miles are in a hurry! We can't see death without saving, if Song Wensong is finished, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold Yuzhou! Zhang Pinghua said.

He paused, and then said: "General, you said that now it is for us to fight a protracted war, the longer the time is drawn, the better, the longer the battle is fought, the better, so ......"

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Has Song Wensong's urgent letter arrived?" Was it his own handwriting? ”

"It's been there a long time ago! Song Wensong's situation is urgent, or he will return the way he came, which is basically impossible, because Chuan Shanyue will not give him a chance. But his escape to the north is blocked by Bingzhou, and it is also dangerous to go northeast into Liaodong, Tan Lei has no friendship with him! ”

Lu Zheng laughed and said: "So Bingzhou is a knot, now pass on my general order, let Song Wensong hold Miaocheng, block the mountains and mountains in Miaocheng, and tell him that it will take time for us to send troops to rescue, and he has to guard for more than seven days, and if he can't hold it for seven days, there will be no way to control the situation!" ”

"General, we ...... Are we really going to send troops? This is not allowed, it must not be! Once we send troops, what will happen to Yuzhou? Song Naifeng is setting up a set, if we send troops to the north, Yuzhou will inevitably be in crisis! Zhang Pinghua's face changed dramatically and he said loudly.

Not only Zhang Pinghua, Chen Lizhong and others also immediately echoed, obviously, they all expressed their opposition to Lu Zheng's plan, the confrontation between Yuzhou and the capital, Yuzhou was already at a disadvantage, if Lu Zheng sent all the cavalry to the north, how could Yuzhou hold it?

Chuanshanyue went to 30,000 cavalry, and Yuzhou also went to 30,000 cavalry, but the Northwest Army had more than 100,000 cavalry, and Yuzhou only had 30,000 cavalry!

How Lu Zheng did this, it was undoubtedly broken Yuzhou's arm, and once Yuzhou was defeated, it would be very difficult to escape, such a situation was really terrible.

Lu Zheng sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, I can't see death without help, in fact, for us, if it is not helpless, why come up with such a plan?" Song Wensong is here, and we use it, but if Song Wensong just sends troops and is finished, won't our plan also fail?

Song Wensong has 10,000 cavalry under his command, these cavalry are our baby bumps, and they were buried in the north, how can our Yuzhou army have a chance to win this battle? ”

Lu Zheng said in a solemn tone, he said these words categorically without any hesitation, everyone looked at each other, all of them were silent, a kind of strategist, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to speak.

Those who follow Lu Zheng know that Lu Zheng's temperament is extremely strong, and no one can persuade him to shake his decision, but this matter is obviously too dangerous, where is Lu Zheng's risk? It's clearly asking for death!

Lu Zheng's opponent, Yuzhou's opponent is no one else, the opponent is the world's number one fierce general, in the face of such a powerful figure as Song Naifeng, Lu Zheng acted like this, the consequences were too serious.

If there is no cavalry in Yuzhou, what should I do if Yuzhou City can't hold it? Once Yuzhou is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable......

After the silence, everyone turned their attention to Dai Gao, everyone present, the others were not enough, and at the critical time, everyone hoped that Dai Gao could finally advise Lu Zheng, so that Lu Zheng would not be rash......

Dai Gao closed his eyes and recuperated, in fact, he seemed to never wake up, he just sat upright, closed his eyes slightly, and the whole person was like an old monk in meditation, so that today's deliberations were over.

Everyone is gone, everyone is going to go separately, Lu Zheng, as the chief manager, has absolute authority in the Nanfu army, so his decision cannot be questioned, although the situation is dangerous, but what else can everyone do except immediately deploy separately?

The walls of Yuzhou can be higher, get acquainted with some, the defense outside the city, the giant deer and horses, and the moat can be more powerful, the people of Yuzhou can be mobilized more thoroughly, and the materials for defending the city can be hoarded more. In short, since you want to defend Yuzhou City, you must consider all kinds of extreme situations, be prepared, and do your best!

The Nanfu army that Lu Zheng now has this ability, and the generals and strategists have their own division of labor, once Lu Zheng makes a decision, everyone will unite as one, which is Lu Zheng's biggest advantage at the moment.

Everyone left, Dai Gao opened his eyes and said, "Have you really thought about it?" Song Naifeng's iron cavalry may be more difficult to deal with than you think, this person's bravery was seen with my own eyes back then, when he gave up his life, he could pile all the soldiers under the city wall, he could let the cavalry behind step on the corpse in front of the city wall and rush onto the city wall, and then break the city, so that Yuzhou City is finished, everything may be over! ”

Lu Zheng nodded and said: "Father-in-law is right, I believe that Song Naifeng has such an ability, and he uses Sichuan and mountains to go north, just to induce me to send troops, as long as I send troops, he will quickly press over, and then use all his strength to break Yuzhou!" That's his plan! ”

Lu Zheng paused and said: "So, I let out the words to send troops, and the whole city is mobilized to prepare for the war, at this time, it depends on who can survive!"

Yue Feng rest assured, risky things can be done, but it must not be done that everyone can see clearly, people want to gamble, but to bet on the victory and defeat in the mastery, you should be able to understand this truth! ”

Lu Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, if you don't have to bet, even if you want to bet, let the opponent see the gamble before leaving, otherwise it is likely to be a failure!" ”

Dai Gao smiled and said, "You have already let Liu Song secretly go north, day and night, at this time the 20,000 cavalry have already arrived in the wilderness north of Miao City, isn't it?"

At this time, Yuzhou sang an empty city plan, Song Naifeng waited for you to send troops, he may never wait for the news of your troops. What he was waiting for might be the news of the broken city of Bingzhou!

The city of Bingzhou was broken, and at the same time as the news spread from Bingzhou to the capital, Liu Song's iron cavalry could almost rush to the vicinity of Yuzhou, and Song Naifeng would do it again, he might not have an absolute chance of winning, right? ”

Lu Zheng was stunned, and said for a while: "Fortunately, my opponent is not your father-in-law, if it were you, I am afraid ...... I'm going to be finished! ”

Dai Gao smiled and said, "This arrangement of yours is very exquisite, and I just figured it out!" Because there is a very confusing part of your arrangement, and that is the battle of the annexed states.

It is not easy for Liu Song's 20,000 cavalry to capture the state, because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and according to the convention, it takes at least 40,000 men and horses to attack the state, so according to the thinking of ordinary people, if you send 20,000 cavalry to the past, it will not help, that is not a wise strategy! ”

Dai Gao paused and said: "But everyone ignores a possibility, that is, as long as Song Wensong desperately holds Miao City, and Chuanshan Yue does not attack Miao City for a long time, the besieging side will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

In the wilderness, Liu Song can quickly swallow the 10,000 horses of the Bingzhou army, and then take the city of Bingzhou overnight, and the city of Bingzhou is broken, the door of the northwest is wide open, after Song Wensong occupies the state, he can quickly infiltrate the power to the northwest, the northwest was given up by Song Naifeng, just in a vacuum stage, Song Wensong occupies the northwest, he has the ability to grow rapidly in the northwest, Song Naifeng has lost the way to retreat, From then on he became a rootless duckweed. ”

Dai Gao talked eloquently and said Lu Zheng's plan as it was, Lu Zheng said: "Yes, as long as Song Naifeng becomes a rootless duckweed, he stays in Gyeonggi and Guannai for one more day, and his strength will be weakened for one day, and it won't take long for the so-called Great Qian Dynasty to fall apart, and at that time, hehe, who else in the north will compete with us?" ”

"This is a protracted battle, any idea of a quick victory is very dangerous, time is in our favor, as time goes by, we can get stronger and stronger, and the opponent will be weakened more and more, I think about it, it's a big deal that I have worked hard for three years, after three years, I don't believe that Song Naifeng can still have the arrogance he has today!"

Dai Gao laughed and said, "If Song Naifeng and Tan Lei join forces again, the situation will be very dangerous, and you can't guard against this." After you fought with Tan Lei, the Liaodong army was defeated and temporarily recuperated, but with his temperament, it shouldn't take long for him to be ready to move again. What will happen to the two rivers then? ”

Lu Zheng shook his head and said: "I can't solve this problem now, and I can only pretend to turn a blind eye!" Tan Lei doesn't care, the key is that Long Lingxiu, this woman, hates me to the bone, I don't dare to have illusions about this woman, fortunately, at the moment they have no plans to go south, I can still have a respite! ”

When Lu Zheng said this, he looked at Dai Gao and said: "Father-in-law, the government affairs of the two rivers are the key, and the government affairs we have implemented have never been done before, but they are very popular with the people, and I am also studying under the Empress Dowager of Beiyan!"

Why can a woman in the Empress Dowager Beiyan control the political situation? Because she is very smart, he uses the small and medium-sized power lords to suppress the big power lords, and mobilizes the forces below to subvert the foundation of the entire Northern Yan magnates, such a strategy is too powerful. The so-called century-old dynasty, thousand-year-old family, and the wealthy power lords have existed for too long, and the longer the decay and resentment they have accumulated, if they can knock out such decay and stimulate the resentment, this energy can change the world, I beg Yue Feng to help me in this regard, otherwise these people under my hands will not be able to do a good job in government affairs with their abilities, and implement my will! ”

Dai Gao said lightly: "I'm an old man, I'm dying, can I do errands for you for a few years?" Talents, now is a lack of talents, so the selection of talents in Lianghe is particularly crucial, Dakang's imperial examination in Lianghe can rise, Xing imperial examination, select talents, this can be long-term stability! ”

Lu Zheng nodded, extremely impressed by Dai Gao's proposal, it is true that what Lu Zheng ignored the most before was talent. His consciousness is on the one hand, his identity is on the other, he is a courtier of Dakang, and he is a general with troops, he has no name to engage in this part.

Now that he has the Lianghe region, which is nominally the territory of Dakang but in fact his independent kingdom, he is fully capable of establishing the imperial examination and selecting talents, thus laying the foundation of manpower for the greater cause of the generals.

Dai Gao also left, Lu Zheng thought about the current situation again, and he couldn't help sighing. Many things in the past have come to mind one by one, he still remembers that when he first arrived in Yangzhou, he couldn't even save his life in Zhang's house at that time, how could he have thought about today?

Today, now, Lu Zheng feels that he is more and more on a road of no return, this road has no end from the beginning of him, and there is no way back, because this is not his path alone, there is a family behind him, there are countless followers, all these pressures are on him, can he retreat?

Suddenly, Lu Zheng thought about Jiangnan a little, he didn't know what Jiangnan would look like in this matter, was it the same as him on the side of Lianghe, it was difficult everywhere?

If the two rivers are lost, everything will be over, because the thieves will quickly converge into a vast ocean, and then Jiangnan will also be lost. The key is that the two rivers are lost, Lu Zheng may not be able to escape, he died in the two rivers, how much strength does the Lu family have to protect the world for Dakang?

Dai Xiaojing and Ying'er walked over, the two women hugged Lu Zheng's arm left and right, Lu Zheng looked at their faces, and his heart was filled with extremely warm meaning, and he thought in his heart:

"Just this big gamble, if you lose, everything in front of you is like the moon in the mirror, the flowers in the water, all are finished! He took his family to Yuzhou and Dai Gao to Yuzhou, all for this gamble, because he wanted to convince his opponent that he would never risk daring to send out all the cavalry, because in that case, once the Northwest Army went crazy, Lu Zheng had nowhere to escape, and there was only one way to die! ”
