Chen Xuanwu entered the Chinese military tent, looked at his appearance, after a bloody scuffle, he was covered in blood. The smell of blood and dust made his whole person look terrifying.

On the face of the wind and dust, because of the long-distance running, the lips were chapped, only the eyes were blazing, as if they could speak, and there was a heroic aura between Gu Pan.

He entered the tent, looked around, saw Lu Zheng at a glance, and immediately couldn't help but say, knelt directly on the ground, and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission, and there is news that they have gone to find out the enemy's traces!" ”

Lu Zheng said: "Okay, Xuanwu, what is the situation, you can tell me quickly, look at your bloody appearance, you should have experienced a vicious battle, tell me about the situation of this battle!" ”

Chen Xuanwu said: "The Central Plains Army has already marched north to Huazhou, the leader of the Huazhou Army should be Cao Weiming, look at the Cao Army's formation of at least twenty or thirty thousand people, all of them are cavalry, it is obvious that they are in a hurry to prepare to defend Huazhou!"

Since Cao Weiming has become a pioneer, Tan Lei may also be coming after him, but now the scouts can't cross Huazhou, and it is difficult to find out Tan Lei's movements for a while! ”

Chen Xuanwu paused and continued: "Our scout team was just about to approach Huazhou, and Cao Weiming's army just arrived, and our two sides met unexpectedly, so naturally we will inevitably have a big battle!"

However, although Cao Jun is known as cavalry, where do their big-ass soldiers know what to do with cavalry and shooting? Although we only had a cavalry of 100 men, we turned around in the midst of their army, killed a bunch of them, and then retreated.

Because of the urgency of the military situation, the last general did not dare to stay too long, so he asked the team to rush over day and night to report the matter, and asked the prince to carefully refer to the military situation and plan for the next attack of our Liaodong Army on the Central Plains! ”

Lu Zheng's brows gradually furrowed, his body became a little dignified, and Qi Yuanzhi said: "Lord Wang, according to the information provided by Xuanwu, Cao Weiming and Tan Lei should be in an alliance!" We also got this information from other places, and the two sides corroborated it, so it should be certain! ”

"If that's the case, we're going to have a hard time this time! Cao Weiming and Tan Lei went north to guard the front line of Huazhou and Wangzhou, they don't seek merit, but they seek no fault, it is not easy for us to cross the past and win this battle! ”

Lu Zheng raised his hand and said, "Come on, reward Xuanwu and my scout warriors!" Xuanwu Attache is promoted to one level, pay homage to the general! Xuanwu, you have increased our prestige in this battle, and my Liaodong Iron rode into the Central Plains and the first battle of the Cao army frustrated their spirits, you have military exploits! ”

Chen Xuanwu was overjoyed, he was extremely excited, he felt that the blood in his body was about to boil, he said generously: "Lord Wang, don't worry, we are ready to die at any time, this time the Central Plains barbarians are difficult to deal with, but as long as we move forward bravely and are not afraid of the opponent, we will definitely be able to break the enemy army, and I, Chen Xuanwu, am willing to charge and die!" ”

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, very good, the Chen family's fierce generals are about to rise, but even if you have the will to fight, you have just gone through a big battle, and now you have to recuperate." Remember, keep your spirits up, be ready at any time, maybe tomorrow, we will attack south, and this battle will be our battle of life and death! ”

In the afternoon when Chen Xuanwu received the reward, the atmosphere in the conference hall instantly became quiet, and from the intelligence point of view, the situation was a little bad for the Liaodong Army!

The Liaodong Army came from afar, and the most difficult place was the shortage of grain and grass, which was not suitable for a long war. Lu Zheng quickly captured Bingzhou, just to take the opportunity to quickly go south, all the way to break through Miaocheng, then Huazhou, then Wangzhou, Beizhou and other places, all the way to the capital or Hebei.

Lu Zheng Liaodong, the forces of the Central Plains are intrigued, and it is difficult to form a joint force, especially Tan Lei and Cao Weiming, who have a deep backbone, Tan Lei and Cao Weiming have fought a lot of big and small battles in recent years, and the situation has almost gotten out of control many times.

There is also the power of Long Zhaoyan in the Central Plains, although the power in the hands of this puppet emperor who claims to be the Great Qian Dynasty is not strong, but he is a good trick in the middle, the Central Plains is in such a situation, it is not difficult for Lu Zheng to break the Central Plains!

But now the situation in the Central Plains has an unexpected situation, Tan Lei and Cao Weiming have formed an alliance, and the two of them acted quickly, and the army has arrived in Huazhou, which blocked Lu Zheng's way forward.

The key to Lu Zheng's attack on the Central Plains is to quickly open up unprecedented, if Lu Zheng can go all the way from Bingzhou to the south, he can get thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and there are dozens of other cities.

After Lu Zheng obtained these lands, he could quickly stabilize the army, and then he would move the population from Liaodong into the customs, and within a year at most, he would no longer be difficult to raise troops.

He has soldiers in his hands, as long as he stands on the ground, he can defend it, but he has just taken the state, and before his ass is hot in Miaocheng, the enemy has come up, and he is prepared, how should Lu Zheng fight this battle?

Obviously, this situation was not only unexpected by Lu Zheng, but also by the strategists and generals at the scene.

Someone said: "Now that we can't attack it, it's better to simply go back to the state and take the northwest from the state to the right of Longyou, so that the entire north will be controlled by us, which is also a good strategy!"

Maybe we took the northwest, and Cao Weiming and Tan Lei in the Central Plains made a mess first, and they had internal friction with each other, wouldn't it be good for us to wait for the right time? ”

Qi Yuanzhi frowned slightly, he didn't have much to say about these words, he pondered for a while, and he said: "Lord Wang, no matter what, if the opponent is prepared, I am afraid that if we send troops again, we will be prepared to succeed, although we are not afraid of Tan Lei and Cao Weiming, but if the consumption of this battle is too large, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses."

I think Cao Weiming and Tan Lei are forced to form an alliance now, because your army is pressing, and they have to form an alliance. And as long as the pressure is weakened, they will be chaotic themselves.

In this way, we can feint and retreat, directly attack the northwest first, let the Central Plains Army think that we really want to take the northwest, and we will go back and shoot again, Tan Lei and Cao Weiming's morale has been frustrated, even if they want to form an alliance again, I am afraid there will be no today's situation! ”

Lu Zheng didn't speak no matter how noisy he was below, he just paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, seeing this scene, Liu Song said:

"We have come all the way from Liaodong to kill, and now we have all killed the opponent's ground, at this time, we didn't even see what the opponent looked like, so we went back so gray?

Lao Tzu Liu Song has been fighting for more than ten years, and he has been leading the troops for many years, and he has not had such a nest experience, my Liaodong man is so heroic, I am afraid that no one can suffer this humiliation, and he will retreat without fighting in the first battle, what morale will my Liaodong army have in the future? ”

"General Liu, what you say is wrong! It is the next strategy to fight with the opponent with the courage of the horseman, we temporarily retreat in order to better attack, we take one step back, and then take three steps forward, and the difficult situation will be relieved between a retreat and an advance, how is this strategy humiliated? ”

Liu Song laughed and said: "The Central Plains is not only Tan Lei and Cao Weiming, as far as I know, Jiangnan Su Zhi led tens of thousands of horses to the Central Plains, what kind of person this person is, I am afraid that many people present know it!"

Such an ungrateful person, what did he do in the Central Plains? If we withdraw at this time, this person will inevitably ruin the reputation of the prince in the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains are now afraid of the prince, and after this goods stir up the storm, once they lose their fear, what will we do to fight with the Central Plains in the future? ”

When Liu Song said this, he took a big bowl and poured a bowl of wine into his stomach, and continued: "There is a way that those who win the Central Plains win the world, the Central Plains is rich and densely populated, and their soldiers are like the lush leeks, and they can grow soon after cutting a stubble!"

And what about us, we survive in Liaodong, everything needs to rely on the snort of the Central Plains, we can have today's strength, all because the forces of the Central Plains are fighting separately, so we have a chance!

If we march with great fanfare this time and return with a feather, they will definitely be more strict against us in the Central Plains, so how can we go south? We may lose the opportunity to attack the Central Plains forever! ”

Liu Song's temper has not changed at all over the years, and he did not show weakness in his eloquent talk, which made many strategists in the hall dare not speak casually.

Now Liu Song is a general under Lu Zheng, he has military power in his hands, and he can fight well, and his prestige in the army is very high.

"Mr. Chen, they don't dare to say it, you have to stand up and say wow!" Liu Song named Chen Lizhong.

Lu Zheng is now the king of Liaodong, and the head of the Chinese minister under his command is Chen Lizhong, Chen Lizhong is the most cautious, usually few words, especially on occasions like this, many times he is silent.

This kind of temperament also gives him another characteristic, that is, as long as he speaks, he can often say the key thing in one sentence, so his prestige in Liaodong is also very high, and he is the Wenchen that Lu Zheng relies on the most.

Chen Lizhong smiled and said, "It's a pity that Zhang Pinghua is not here, if he is here, he will definitely have an argument with the general, as for the old man!" At this point, our deliberations have shown a stalemate, General Liu is reasonable, but the gentlemen just now are also reasonable.

In this way, the old man feels that he still has to be the master of the king's decision, and we only need to follow the will of the prince and go all the way to the end, I believe there will be no bad results! ”

Liu Song raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Chen, you are so sleek, at this time, you are still acting like this, you are really going to kill us!" ”

Lu Zheng said: "Liu Song, Hugh is rude, okay!" That's it for today's discussion, wait for you to go down first, I will think about it carefully, and after tonight, I will make a decision tomorrow morning! ”

Everyone in the conference hall retreated, and Lu Zheng lay on the chair alone, his eyes slightly closed, and his mood was really difficult to calm down. At this time, the guards came to report, saying that Sima came to ask for a meeting.

"See you!" Lu Zheng raised his hand and let people come in.

A young official came in, and after he entered the door, he bowed his head and said: "Bingzhou Sima see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned for a moment, suddenly sat up from the chair and stared at the young official in front of him, and it took a while to come back to his senses and say, "It's Haoran!" Hurry up! You and my brother, why are you so polite? ”

Dare to love this official is none other than Zhang Haoran of the Zhang family! Lu Zheng asked Zhang Haoran to be an official in Liaodong now, and after winning the annex state this time, Chen Lizhong recommended Zhang Haoran to serve as Sima of the state, Lu Zheng nodded and agreed, I didn't expect Zhang Haoran to take office so soon!
