The book is picked up again.

"......" Li Zhi was also a little puzzled at this time, he didn't know why these generals were so excited.

But after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly understood, and said with a wry smile: "Father understands!"

Just now, the Father only told them that the number of enemies was several times that of us, but he did not tell them that the enemies were not the rabble of the past!

I'm afraid that they still think that the enemy is very weak and will be defeated in the first battle, and regard this battle as a battle for credit, so they are so excited. ”

Li Zhi now completely understands that the reason why this group of generals are so excited is because they feel that the enemy is probably still a rabble as before!

If the enemy is just a rabble, then don't say hundreds of thousands, even more than a million people, they don't care about it!

Because, it's not like they haven't done anything about fighting one million with one hundred thousand, so they didn't take it to heart!

But Li Zhi knew that this time was different from the past, and the enemy this time was very difficult!

After thinking of this, Li Zhi rubbed his temples with a headache, and said to Li Zheng on the side: "Zheng'er, you should hurry up and tell that group of generals now that the enemy is not a rabble, but an elite division second only to us, so that they should not underestimate the enemy." ”

"No!" Li Zheng was about to go after answering, but was suddenly stopped by Li Zhi, "Wait!" ”

After Li Zheng heard Li Zhi's words, he immediately stopped and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else to do with my father?" ”

"......" Li Zhi pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Don't tell them yet."

If you tell them that it will burden them on their hearts, I am afraid it will affect the morale of the army.

So, let them maintain this mentality of "treating the enemy as nothing". ”

"This is ......" After Li Zheng heard this, he hesitated and asked, "Father, is this really good?" What if they were negligent and caught the enemy off guard? ”

"It's okay" After Li Zhi shook his head, he said: "My father is the commander of this battle, and when it comes to the war, my father is the one who commands the battle!"

As long as the father is not underestimated as the boss, nothing will happen.

The most important thing is that we are on the defensive in this battle, even if there is a slight enemy, the enemy will not be able to attack suddenly, how can I not suffer a big loss.

Compared with suffering a small loss, the father values morale more, so let them be happy for the time being. ”

"That's ......" Li Zheng heard this, and after thinking for a while, he saluted Li Zhi sincerely and said, "Thank you father for your guidance, the child has been taught." ”

"Hmm" After Li Zhi heard Li Zheng's words, he nodded with satisfaction, and then he asked with the intention of teaching: "Zheng'er, my father asks you, if you are the commander of this battle, how should you guard against the enemy?" ”

"This ......," Li Zheng was silent after hearing this.

To be honest, since he came here with Zhao Lizhi, he has positioned himself as a general and a vanguard who charges into battle, so he really hasn't thought deeply about becoming the commander of the naval formation.

Now when he heard Li Zhi's question, he didn't know how to answer.

However, Li Zheng is a person who has experienced the battlefield and is familiar with the routines of war

After thinking for a while, he immediately replied: "There is only one way for the southern princes to attack Luoyang, and that is to come to Luoyang along the Tiger Prison Pass!"

But the Tiger Prison Pass is now in our hands, and if they want to attack Luoyang, they have to attack the Tiger Prison Pass first!

Therefore, if the child is the commander of this battle, he will inevitably take the tiger prison to arrange heavy troops!

Tiger Prison Pass is a famous male pass in the world, which can repel ten times the enemy outside the pass, so this battle only needs to wait for us to guard the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

After saying this, Li Zheng's eyes gradually lit up.

Because he found that this battle didn't seem to be as serious as Li Zhi said!

Although there are many enemies, they are only four or five times as many as them, as long as they defend the Tiger Prison Pass, the enemy will not be able to attack at all!

"......" Li Zhi looked at Li Zheng whose eyes were shining, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly asked: "What if they don't attack Tiger Prison Pass, but instead attack Luoyang from the direction of Tongguan through Hongnong County?" ”

"This ......" Li Zheng heard this, hesitated for a while, and then said tentatively: "Otherwise, I won't defend Luoyang when I wait, wouldn't it be better to wait for the enemy directly at the border of Sizhou?" ”

"......" After Li Zhi heard this, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes, he rubbed his eyebrows, and asked with a wry smile: "Zheng'er, what do you think is the purpose of my waiting for this battle?" ”

"Purpose?" Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly, "Why did my father ask that?" Isn't the purpose of our waiting is to hold Luoyang? ”

"Hold Luoyang?" Li Zhi shook his head, "Not really! ”

"What?!" When Li Zheng heard this, he asked in shock: "How could it not be?!" Wasn't the purpose of Uncle Cao's father here to let his father guard Luoyang? ”

"Alas......" Li Zhi heard a long sigh, shook his head and said: "Zheng'er, look at the overall situation, don't just look at one side, this battle is a decisive battle of the whole, Luoyang is only a small part of this battle, so Luoyang's victory or defeat is not important, the important thing is whether we can hold back the southern princes, as long as we wait to hold the southern exit and wait for Brother Meng De to defeat Dong Zhuo, even if we have no soldiers and horses in our hands, we will not be at a disadvantage in the overall strategy, And how can the princes be dragged down? That would inevitably lead the princes into the interior of Sizhou, so that he could not interfere with Brother Meng De's attack on Dong Zhuo, so it doesn't matter if Honglong County and other counties don't want to, it's only temporary for them to do anything in the war zone, as long as Meng Dexiu wins, we can retake these places at any time after the merger! ”

"......" After Li Zheng listened to Li Zhi's words, he muttered in a daze: "In this way, Sizhou is actually not important, even if it is the Tiger Prison Pass, it is not important, Luoyang is the most important?" ”

"That's right!" Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Luoyang is indeed the most important, and at the same time the least important.

It is important because as long as we firmly attract the soldiers and horses of the southern princes to Luoyang, they will not be able to interfere with Brother Meng De.

It is said that he is not important because no matter whether we win or lose this battle, Brother Meng De, who defeated Dong Zhuo, can calmly deal with the southern princes.

So I don't care about those corners now, even if the entire Sizhou has fallen, it doesn't matter, as long as the southern princes are attracted to Luoyang, we will be considered successful!

In other words, the capital Luoyang is not our strategic purpose, our strategic purpose is to drag the enemy! ”

"......" After Li Zheng heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, and after a long while, he let out a long breath, nodded solemnly, and said, "The child remembers, but ......"

Speaking of this, he frowned again and asked, "But can we really attract the enemy's four or five hundred thousand troops?"

What if they sent 200,000 men to attack us and the rest, and the rest attacked Uncle Cao? ”

"Huh!" Hearing this, Li Zhi sneered, took out a map from his cuff, pointed in the direction of Chang'an, and then pointed in the direction of Luoyang, and said, "I have been prepared for this matter for a long time!"

If the enemy really dares to divide his troops, then Brother Meng De will also divide his troops!

He will leave 50,000 people to guard Chang'an and guard against Dong Zhuo, while he will take the remaining 150,000 or 60,000 people to deal with the southern princes who have divided their troops!

When the time comes, we will no longer be able to defend the city, and directly cooperate with Brother Meng De to attack the southern princes before and after!

Although the number of southern princes is large, the number of us is also quite large, and they are even more elite than them!

In addition, they are fighting in different places, and there are many naval armies, once we wait to fight back and forth, we will definitely be able to defeat them at a very fast speed! ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "Of course, the southern princes are not stupid, they actually know that their actual combat power is not high, so they will not stupidly divide their troops to deal with me and Brother Meng De at the same time."

At most, they will divide 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses to harass Tongguan or Chang'an when Brother Meng De is about to annihilate Dong Zhuo, making Brother Meng De uncomfortable.

If you really let them divide their troops and kill them, they won't dare! ”

"I see" After Li Zheng heard Li Zhi's words, he suddenly nodded in realization and said: "In this way, although this battle is difficult, it is not impossible. ”

After saying this, he lay down in front of the map and looked at it carefully for a long time, the corners of his mouth curled, pointed to other places except Luoyang, and said: "Since the purpose of our waiting is to lure the enemy and drag the enemy, then there is no need for us to defend Luoyang rigidly!"

Mine can be scattered in all but Luoyang to stop the enemy.

Of course, the 100,000 elites of our headquarters cannot be moved!

We can organize those local soldiers and let them cause trouble for the Southern Coalition forces.

It doesn't have to be big or troublesome, even if it's for them to dig a stuffed horse pit, cut off a road somewhere, or cut a bridge!

Anyway, there is only one point, as long as it can delay the enemy's march!

In this way, the time for the southern princes to come to Luoyang will inevitably be greatly extended!

Moreover, even if they came to Luoyang, they would inevitably be exhausted.

When the time comes, I will take advantage of their unstable foothold and send elite cavalry out to fight for a while and then come back immediately, and we can also get a lot of cheap! ”

"Hahaha......" After Li Zhi heard Li Zheng's words, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed.

The reason why he took the test to teach Li Zheng just now was also to cultivate Li Zheng's military literacy.

After all, he could see that Li Zheng was already planning to take root in the military.

Since this is the case, then he, as Li Zheng's father, will not hesitate to advise.
