"Our army is about to send troops, and the lower officials must personally command the army to attack Xiazhou, and they can't accompany the Duke in person, so I hope you will forgive me." Li Zhongyi's words were unusually polite, high-sounding, and leaky.

Zhi Congruan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Although the old man is an idle person, however, Li Shuai uses troops for the imperial court, and the old man, as a minister of Zhou, should do his best." ”

As soon as Li Zhongyi heard this, he also understood in his heart that Zhi Linggong probably wanted to follow the army and observe the movements of the Shuofang army nearby.

If you are a master, you don't need to talk nonsense!

Li Zhongyi went straight to the point to show the determination of Vaxia Prefecture, and knew from Ruan that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to say more, so it was better to retreat and follow the Lingzhou army.

Zhe Congruan wants to see on the spot, what is the situation of Li Zhongyi's soldiers and horses?

Li Zhongyi's soldiers and horses, after nearly a year of high-intensity training, have long been far from being comparable to the weak and vulnerable old Lingzhou army that day.

"Hehe, having Lao Linggong personally come to the battle array to guide the officers and soldiers is really a blessing for my Shuofang army. As the saying goes, ginger is old and spicy. Li Zhongyi did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed to follow Ruan to act with the army.

Next, Zhi Congruan didn't mention half a sentence, and asked Li Zhongyi to speed up the pace of sending troops to rescue Fuzhou, he calmly accompanied Li Zhongyi, saying things that were not salty or light.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, this old man is worthy of being a hero who has dominated Fuzhou for many years, old and strong!

"Zhegong, that Xiazhou Tongwan City is extremely strong and very difficult to attack, I don't know why Lao Linggong taught me?" Li Zhongyi deliberately handed this thorny problem to Zhe Congruan's hand. Just want to see how he responds?

Zhi Congruan narrowed his eyes, stroked his white beard, and said slowly: "Earth attack or fire attack." Choose one of the two, it seems that the fire attack is better? ”

Li Zhongyi blinked, he really didn't expect that Ruan was so shrewd that he would break through the sky with one word!

In Shuofang's new army, explosives have always been in the category of top secret. Except for the generals in the army. For example, Guo Huai, Yao Hong and Zuo Ziguang knew about it, and the people involved were all without exception, and almost all of them were cronies and soldiers around Li Zhongyi. Confidentiality has been done to the extreme.

Li Zhongyi smiled and said: "Lao Linggong is really a pillar of the imperial court, a rare famous general in the world. ”

Seeing that Li Zhongyi praised him with beautiful words, Zhi Congruan just smiled faintly: "The old man has looked at the famous war history in ancient and modern times. But water, fire, earth, and arrows. It's just an interactive application adapted to local conditions. ”

Li Zhongyi clapped his hands with a smile and said with a smile: "With the guidance of Lao Linggong, the battle of Xia must not be too difficult." ”

Zhe Congruan's face suddenly turned pale, and he reminded cautiously: "Although the city of Tongwan is strong, in the old man's opinion, there are hundreds of miles of uninhabited Hanhai. In fact, it is even more of a headache. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, agreeing with Zhe Congruan's assertion in his heart. Although Tongwan City is strong, as long as the logistics are transported in time, even if it is consumed, it will wear down Tongwan City.

Not to mention, before the establishment of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei and Guo Qi'er were ordered to lead the army to crusade against Li Shouzhen, and they were quite patient to besiege Li Shouzhen for more than a year, and finally put down the Li rebellion.

However, due to the barrier of hundreds of miles of Hanhai, even if the Lingzhou army entered the hinterland of the eight departments of the party and attacked the city of Tongwan, there was no way to adopt Guo Qi'er's siege method.

Fighting a war is about logistics!

Zhe Congruan saw through this point, so he pointed out the biggest weakness of the Lingzhou Army in sending troops to attack Xia.

Li Zhongyi quietly listened to Ruan's analysis, although he has commanded many battles now, but due to the problem of chance, he has never had the opportunity to have a deep and close communication with the famous generals of the time.

War is actually a performance art that coexists with science and chance, and alternately plays a decisive role.

Li Zhongyi originally planned to communicate further with Zhe Congruan Zuo, but a sharp and rhythmic sound of military trumpets planned his thoughts.

The army has been assembled, and Li Zhongyi, as the commander-in-chief, cannot make the soldiers of the three armies wait for a long time.

"Old Linggong, the soldiers are ready, why don't we talk slowly on the road?" Li Zhongyi folded in half and made a clear invitation from Ruan.

Zhe Congruan also wanted to see the actual situation of the Lingzhou Army for a long time, and Li Zhongyi's invitation happened to be in line with his wishes.

So, accompanied by Li Zhongyi, Zhecongruan went out and got on his horse, galloping all the way to the Lingzhou military camp.

On the way, Zhi Congruan noticed that the tooth soldiers around Li Zhongyi all had a good horse, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, the conditions of the Lingzhou Army were really good!

Shengzhou, near Fuzhou, also produces horses, but unfortunately, it is the territory of the Khitans, and the Zhejia family does not dare to touch it lightly.

Due to the detailed introduction of Zhe Yukou, Zhe Congruan now clearly knows that since Li Zhongyi successively wiped out the Lingzhou Party and people, even the infantry army in Lingzhou has almost everyone has a horse to walk.

What impressed Zhi Congruan was that what Zhi Yukou said, "What Li Dashuai said the most is: In addition to mobility, it is still mobility, once you have the ability to maneuver, you can definitely defeat an army of 100,000." ”

Zhe Congruan is also a veteran general and a famous general with veteran soldiers, in the northwest of Fuzhou, this old Ling Gong has commanded countless tragic battles, and has maintained a record of complete victories.

The party can afford to lose, the Liu family in Jinyang can afford to lose, and the Khitan with its vast land and strong resources can afford to lose, but the folded family that is cramped in a corner of Fuzhou can't afford to lose!

The harsh practical conditions forced the Zhejia family to sharpen their heads and think about the big question of how Fuzhou would gain a foothold after establishing a foundation.

The answer is also obvious, under the rule of the Zhe family, the people's livelihood is close to withering, but the army is extremely strong.

The problem in Fuzhou is that the perennial war must be led by the military first, but a strong army needs population, materials, weapons, and grain and grass.

After decades of vicious circles, Zhe Congruan knows very well in his heart that if this situation continues, it will be difficult for Fuzhou to survive!

Therefore, since Zhecongruan took power, in order to keep the foundation of Fuzhou, he has always adopted the strategy of attacking from afar and near, no matter who is the overlord in the Central Plains, the Zhe family will surrender at the first time.

When the horse team marching quickly arrived at the gate of the Lingzhou military camp, Zhe Congruan immediately cheered up and secretly observed the place without a trace.

Zhi Congruan was surprised to notice that although the camp gate was wide open, the several huge horses blocking the main camp gate were not moved away because of Li Zhongyi's arrival.

From this small detail, it was clear to Ruan that the Lingzhou Army's sense of vigilance was extremely strong.

Just imagine, even the horse team of the commander of the army must slow down the progress of the march and bypass the rejection of the horses before entering the camp, even if the enemy army wants to sneak attack the large camp here, its attack will inevitably be slowed down by Yan zhòng.

This also left valuable time for the Lingzhou army in the camp to assemble and attack!

With this astonishing appearance, Zhe Congruan gradually became somewhat convinced that the Lingzhou Army under Li Zhongyi was indeed a strong army that had been trained for a long time! (To be continued......)
