Chapter 546: A two-pronged approach
Liu Teng naturally also has his little abacus, he used to form an alliance with Liu Bao, precisely because Liu Bao is strong, and the alliance with Liu Bao is in line with the strategic consideration of long-distance friendship and close attack.
And now Liu Bao's strength has been greatly damaged, and even Liu Teng can override him, and Liu Teng will not be guilty of making false promises with him.
Now after Liu Bao's defeat, Liu Meng, the king of the right sage, seems to have become the only super force among the five Xiongnu departments, and the other departments have to look up to their noses, Liu Meng has always been against Liu Bao, this time Liu Jiao took the lead in opening up with Liu Bao, obviously also instructed by Liu Meng.
Now that Liu Bao has fallen, Liu Teng naturally will not offend Liu Meng for him.
In fact, Liu Teng still has some selfish intentions, that is, after the Wei army reinforcements won a big victory, the next target of the attack may be the central Xiongnu or the right Xiongnu, no matter what, it will not be their turn to be the northern Xiongnu.
Now that the battle of Jinyang has begun, judging from the current situation, it is not as strong as Liu Meng expected, and who can attack Jinyang City first may be completely based on luck.
If it is by luck, then it is really difficult to say who will kill the deer, at least now Liu Teng has a one-third chance, if it is before, he may not dare to think about it.
Shan Yu's position has a magical power, attracting everyone, Liu Teng had no qualifications to compete before, so he could only retreat to the second, and now that he finally has the opportunity, how can he give up easily.
Although it is a five-ministry meeting, Liu Yue is just a foil, as an observer, Liu Yue naturally has his consciousness, that is, it is not about himself, and he will never speak.
Liu Jiao and Liu Teng expressed their attitudes, and both raised objections to Liu Bao's suggestion, and at this time, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Meng, hoping that he could make a final decision.
Liu Meng pondered for a moment and said: "The reinforcements of the Wei State have already connected the southern and left parts of the country, and the strength is indeed not to be underestimated, but our top priority now is to attack Jinyang, and we can't shake our determination because of two defeats. As for the Wei army that occupied Puzi and Zi's clan, they must also be weak in their advance, and when we take Jinyang, we will clean him up when we go back, no matter how much he eats now, he will let him vomit it all in the future! ”
"What King Youxian said is extremely true, the reinforcements of the Wei State are just the worry of ringworm, there is no need to worry, the capture of Jinyang is a major matter, and it must not be delayed." Liu Jiao immediately praised.
Liu Teng and Liu Yue also echoed the voice.
Liu Bao was also very helpless, so he had to accept this final decision. In terms of selfishness, Liu Bao did have plans to use the power of the three Xiongnu to recover the Zi clan, but he really fought with the Wei reinforcements, and knew that this army was indeed powerful, and it was by no means that he was alarmist, and now they are still so contemptuous, just afraid that they will have their bitter fruits in the future.
Due to the return of Liu Bao, it is equivalent to another layer of help for the Hun army, and the offensive of the Huns on Jinyang has also changed from the siege of three to the siege of all sides.
Isn't Liu Meng worried that Liu Bao's arrival will threaten him to ascend to the throne?
In fact, Liu Meng did not take Liu Bao to heart, the general of the defeated army, how to speak bravely, this attack on Jinyang, and the Xiongnu on their right had to take the lead.
Liu Meng is determined to keep Shan Yu's position secret, so no matter what kind of situation arises, taking Jinyang first is the top priority, and he must not give up easily.
So the men and horses of the four Xiongnu tribes once again threw themselves into the attack on Jinyang.

After the capture of the Zi clan, Cao Liang did not lie on the merit pu and sleep, but actively cleaned up the army and prepared to attack the next target.
Although after successively conquering the two important places of Puzi and Zishi, Cao Liang still has a lot of difficulties to face, and the huge army gathered under Jinyang City alone is enough to give Cao Liang a headache.
If this army could not be completely defeated, then all previous efforts would be in vain, and Cao Liang's northern expedition would not have succeeded.
Therefore, continuing to attack and completely crushing the living forces of the Huns is Cao Liang's purpose.
The Zi clan has people from Hedong County to help deal with it, so there is no need for Cao Liang to worry too much.
It was Lin Duwei who was worried, and there was no problem for him to assist in dealing with Puzi's affairs, because Puzi County belonged to Hedong County, and no matter how much he tossed it, it was not beyond his jurisdiction.
But Zi is different, it has already entered the territory of the state, in fact, Lin Duwei has exceeded his authority.
However, Cao Liang, as the general of Pingbei, can still dispatch the governor of Hedong, so Cao Liang told Captain Lin to do it steadfastly, and he will be responsible for any problems.
With Cao Liang's guarantee, Lin Duwei could naturally put his mind at ease, led the army into the Zi clan, and took over the stall left by Cao Liang.
Cao Liang also embarked on the road of the northern expedition again ten days after conquering the Zi clan.
Today's Jinzhong Plain, and later generations are completely different, the later generations of Jinzhong Plain, is a horse Pingchuan plain, and in this era, there is a big lake on the Jinzhong Plain, named Jiuze, it is said to be left over from the period of Dayu's water control.
The area of Jiuze is very large, about 100 miles long from north to south, and there are also 30 or 40 miles wide from east to west, and near Jiuze, almost all the county towns in Jinzhong, Wu County, Zhongdu, Jingling, Qi County on the east bank, Zhongyang, Zishi, Pingtao, Daling on the west bank, people live by the lake, forming a unique county group around Jiuze.
Now Cao Liang undoubtedly has two choices, one is to attack the Xiongnu in the middle of Daling on the west bank of Jiuze, and the other is to attack the Xiongnu on the right side of Qi County on the east bank of Jiuze.
However, attacking one of these two will inevitably have the consequence of startling the snake and leaving the other one on guard.
Now whether it is the central Xiongnu or the right Xiongnu's main force is concentrated in Jinyang, Daling and Qi County are relatively empty, although Liu Bao fled back, but according to the scout's report, the main force of the Xiongnu coalition army did not move, but stepped up the attack on Jinyang.
Therefore, the current situation is a good thing for Cao Liang, but if you can only choose one of the two, Cao Liang is still a little unwilling.
If you want to play, you can play with a big vote, Cao Liang discussed it with the generals and strategists, and decided to divide the troops into two ways, two prongs, and launch an attack on Daling and Qi County at the same time.
