Chapter 738: Victory or Defeat!
Lu Zheng wants to fight a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army to the west of Yuzhou, and I have to say that this decision is unbelievable from any point of view, because Lu Zheng and the Liaodong Army fought a decisive battle, and the Liaodong Army was behind the Northwest Army.
With this bit of Lu Zheng's Nanfu Army, can he block the front and rear attacks of the Liaodong Army and the Northwest Army? Obviously, such a decisive battle is more auspicious and less auspicious, and it seems very unwise.
But why did he choose to strike at this time? And pressed all the hole cards of the Nanfu Army? The boy was a little incomprehensible, so he was adamantly opposed.
Lu Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Boy, I know what you mean, but now look at the current situation, although we have won in Tanzhou, Song Naifeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" We have won three battles and three victories, but he is more and more frustrated, the art of war is cloudy, and he is said to be good at fighting is not chaotic, this person is really difficult to deal with! ”
Lu Zheng paused and continued: "Our previous two battles did not achieve the expected goal, Song Naifeng is very smart, he brought in the Liaodong Army, and promised that as long as he took the capital, he would give up all the places in Gyeonggi to Long Lingxiu and Tan Lei, I have to say that this person really saw through our intentions!"
In this case, we lost the capital, even if we occupied Yuzhou and Bianzhou, he was still able to contact the Liaodong Army to advance step by step, and then slowly encroached, so that our living space became narrower and narrower, so that we finally had to abandon the north and roll back to the south of the Yangtze River, in that case we would be completely defeated!
So I made up my mind to fight with the Liaodong Army in this last resort, if we don't fight, the result is to let the Liaodong Army and the Northwest Army boil frogs in warm water, and the end will be very miserable! ”
The boy nodded and said: "But no matter what, at this time, the sudden decisive battle, whether it is the right time, the right place and the person are not on our side, the key is that the absolute strength is too weak, what is the point of a decisive battle with no chance of winning?" ”
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Who said that there is no chance of winning?" If it were just to die, I would never be so hasty. Don't forget that the other side is the Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army, and we are also the Nanfu Army and the Northwest Army. Song Wensong may not be easier than me in the capital at this moment, this battle, planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, since I have planned here, whether it will be successful or not, it is not for me to make decisions and sway!
But there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, let the soldiers rest assured that in a short period of time, Song Naifeng's Northwest Army will not be able to copy my back road for the time being, what we have is time and the Liaodong Army will fight. ”
Lu Zheng categorically infected the boys, and also infected the soldiers of the Nanfu Army, and they and Lu Zheng fought all the way south to fight a hundred battles, and they had long been very convinced of Lu Zheng's ability. In this battle, everyone was worried that the Northwest Army would suddenly arrive, which would make the Nanfu Army face the dilemma of not being able to take care of the end.
Now Lu Zheng said frankly that the Northwest Army will not come, if this is the case, isn't it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Although everyone expressed deep doubts about Lu Zheng's words, Lu Zheng has never let everyone lose the battle, and everyone has a lot of trust in Lu Zheng's statement.
"I understand, it turns out that the Governor has already had a clever plan to deal with the Northwest Army, and now we are only facing tens of thousands of Liaodong Army! Hehe, the Liaodong Army used to be known as my Dakang No. 1 Iron Army, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that, nothing remarkable! In this battle, we will fight to the death and defeat the Liaodong Army! A general stepped forward and shouted.
He shouted, the morale of all the generals was shocked, and for a while the soldiers of Nanfu screamed, tens of thousands of infantry actually had the momentum of cavalry, and now Lu Zheng's situation is that he personally led the infantry, and on the other side Liu Song led the cavalry, the cavalry and infantry of the Nanfu Army fought together, and the goal was the invincible Liaodong Iron Cavalry!
……
Lu Zheng's strategy is not difficult to understand if he analyzes it carefully, he regards Song Wensong as an important reinforcement, is Song Wensong so important? In fact, this is a very delicate issue.
If you want to say how intimate Song Wensong is to Lu Zheng, or how loyal he is to the imperial court, I'm afraid no one believes that Song Wensong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is Song Naifeng's third son, and he is also the son who is most like Song Naifeng.
He was born a hero, and he pursued the principle that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, if Lu Zheng is in trouble, of course he will not easily save him.
However, the delicate matter is here, Song Wensong is really difficult to decide in the capital now, does he want to leave or stay?
Originally, he didn't have a choice before about this problem, or he had already chosen to defend the capital, relying on the walls of the capital and his father at all costs! But the problem is on Lu Zheng's side, if he keeps defending it, it would be fine, but Yue Feng suddenly came out and gave the Liaodong Army a fierce attack, breaking the tacit understanding between the Liaodong Army and the Northwest Army.
Even the Liaodong Army and the Northwest Army abandoned the capital and went to deal with Lu Zheng, I have to say that this is an unexpected thing, the capital was in danger, and even a catastrophe, but now it suddenly came back to life...... Song Wensong had to hesitate!
"Third general, don't hesitate at this moment, if you don't leave at this time, it's too late! Defending the capital will inevitably be over, and tens of thousands of our horses will die in the capital, what good can this be? Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, three generals! The generals below knelt down in unison and asked Song Wensong to withdraw.
Song Wensong paced back and forth, his face was gloomy, and at this moment, his heart was also extremely entangled, and he didn't know what to do!
It seems to be very good to be completely in the capital, but he has been convicted of the crime of losing the capital, and to put it bluntly, he is too unwilling! Originally, he could have let Lu Zheng bear this charge, but after Lu Zheng had this charge, the Lu family in Jiangnan would inevitably be affected somewhat, and Song Wensong could make another effort in Jiangnan, so that he would have the opportunity to compete with the Lu family.
But...... It is extremely risky if the capital is stubbornly held, because the Northwest Army is really too strong, and Song Naifeng is also too strong! Song Wensong has just been working hard for three days, and he has lived a life like purgatory, which is simply a nightmare!
"Mr. Qi, the matter has come to this, I really don't have an idea, at this moment, I still hope that Mr. can help me a thing or two and make a decision for me!" Song Wensong looked at Qi Yuanzhi with blank eyes.
Qi Yuanzhi frowned slightly, sighed, shook his head, and said, "General, I am a strategist, you have something I can do for you, but I can't do something decisive!" Today's decision, the future is confused, and Yuanzhi is powerless, everything depends on your own will, three generals! ”
As soon as Qi Yuanzhi said this, Song Wensong was stunned and speechless, and at this time, the strategists, including Wu Liewen and Xing Zheng, immediately knelt down again and joined the team that asked to leave, Song Wensong saw that everyone around him had no will to fight again, and he sighed in his heart, raised his hand and said:
"Okay, I have a plan, the capital cannot be defended, it's not that we don't do our best, but the opponent is too strong, our strength is almost exhausted, at this moment, we can only keep Qingshan!"
Song Wensong paused, his tone suddenly raised, and said: "Listen to me, pass on my order, we will immediately complete the capital, go out of the city from the noon gate, go straight to the canal, and withdraw the army from the canal and waterway!" ”
Song Wensong gave an order, the army retreated, Qi Yuanzhi hid in the crowd and saw this scene, his face instantly turned pale, and said: "If you retreat, you will die, and if you defend, you will die, this is not something that can be reversed by manpower, and I Qi Yuanzhi can't do anything!" ”
After Qi Yuanzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left, without looking back, the people in the capital at this time were already panicked, Qi Yuanzhi simply changed into short clothes, blended into the fleeing people, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Song Wensong immediately decided to go out of the city, and the army had just gone out of the city for a few miles, when a report suddenly came from the front, saying that the iron cavalry of the Northwest Army came from three sides.
Song Wensong's face changed greatly, and he looked around and said, "What's going on?" How did they come so quickly? ”
"Three generals, there are spies in the army, there must be someone who has reported the news, otherwise there is absolutely no possibility for the Northwest Army to be so ......"
Song Wensong raised his hand to interrupt this person's words, and said: "Needless to say, at this moment, our luck will inevitably be blocked, the waterway is controlled, we can only take the land route, there is nothing to say, go directly to the south, the cavalry follows me, we quickly fight all the way out of the encirclement, and go straight to Jiangnan!" ”
Song Wensong decisively decided to give up the strategy of taking the waterway and go directly to the south, but he was destined to underestimate the determination and will of the opponent.
Song Wensong ran all the way to resist the enemy, and the northwest iron rode on the plain like the wind, this time in order to deal with Song Wensong, many generals were even more energetic, and they carried out various encirclements and interceptions on Song Wensong's way forward!
The general said that Song Wensong must be taken at all costs, no matter what the difficulty, no matter where he is chased, Song Wensong must be chased, and the pursuit and escape battle between the Northwest Army and Song Wensong has kicked off like this, and on the other side is the death of the Nanfu Army and the Liaodong Army.
Song Wensong decided to go, this is Lu Zheng's judgment on him, and it is based on this judgment that he dares to fight to the death with the Liaodong Army! Because he firmly believes that in Song Naifeng's eyes, his number one enemy is definitely not himself who he has never met, but his own third son, Song Wensong.
Human nature is really too difficult to ponder, Lu Zheng is undoubtedly a master of pondering human nature, Song Naifeng is today's top celebrity, but as long as he is a human being, he has a weakness, and Song Naifeng's weakness is undoubtedly Song Wensong.
Song Wensong does not escape, and Song Naifeng will not attack the capital first, because Lu Zheng is his biggest threat. Once Song Wensong wants to escape, the situation will be different immediately, and Song Naifeng can't let Song Wensong escape no matter what, because this is related to the dignity of the Song family, and it is also related to their reputation for establishing the so-called Great Qian Dynasty. Song Naifeng arrested Song Wensong at all costs......
