Lan Zhenzhi's long-term deployment has formed a basic outline, and then he can lead his troops to battle and put this layout into practice.

However, although they have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and have such a long-term overall plan, they may not win or lose when it comes to real battles on the battlefield.

I have to say that Lan Zhenzhi is indeed confident enough, but sometimes it is not a good thing to be overconfident.

Quanzhou is more than 300 miles away from Huaihua, and the nearest county seat is also more than 100 miles away from Huaihua Rongwei County.

A simple time difference is enough to determine the success or failure of a battle.

Lan Zhenzhi obviously also had some plans for these, the reason why he did not send troops to support Banyang when he learned that Chen Ziqian had invaded Huaihua, but instead mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses to settle in Bashan, was to delay time as much as possible.

Bashan County is a key place in Huaihua, the city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, enough to resist the full force of 50,000 troops to attack the city.

And Chen Ziqian's invasion of Huaihua this time, the soldiers and horses under his command are exactly 50,000, after the consumption of the Battle of Banyang, even if he goes all out to attack Bashan, it will inevitably lose his troops and pay a heavier price.

In the end, even if Bashan was really captured by Chen Ziqian, it didn't matter, with Chen Ziqian's strength at that time, could he still withstand the menacing 250,000 troops in Quanzhou?

The answer is obvious, and it's all under control.

Lan Zhenzhi's self-confidence is not unfounded, but determined by his powerful wisdom and foresight.

He deserves that confidence.

To be honest, if any opponent tries to win Huaihua at this juncture, the final result will not be too good.

But it's a pity that Lan Zhenzhi's opponent this time is not an ordinary person, but an outlier from the twenty-first century who has a system of attributes that can see through others.

He thought that Chen Ziqian would lose something by attacking Banyang, but in fact he lost more than 1,000 people, and then added more than 2,000 people from the prison, plus more than 2,000 prisoners, and the overall strength not only did not lose, but also increased by a few thousand.

And Chen Ziqian didn't plan to attack Bashan with brute force, not to mention that Bashan Zhao was willing to help internally, even if he relied on fierce fire and oil to attack the city, this battle was enough to easily annihilate the more than 10,000 defenders in the city.

In the same fortified city, Lan Zhenzhi was sure to block the enemy with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and in Chen Ziqian's hands, 50,000 soldiers and horses could also block the enemy more than five times.

250,000 soldiers and horses in the state?

What is Chen Ziqian afraid of?

……

The autumn wind is howling, and in the wasteland where the greenery is missing, an army that has stretched out miles is slowly marching.

The vanguard opened the way with cavalry, leaving the brigade far behind, led by Sima Zhou Zhuoyun, another army under Chen Ziqian.

"Report!" A fast horse galloped from the front, rolled up a string of dust, and immediately grabbed the reins before arriving at the brigade, and said to Zhou Zhuoyun: "General Qiyu, I found a small guy in front, this person claims that he needs to meet the prince of the palace on important matters. ”

"Bring it here!" Zhou Zhuoyun waved his hand to stop the movement of the army, and waited in place for the little guy to come over to report the situation.

Not long after, the little servant rode over on horseback, arched his hand and said, "Where is Chen Fujun, the villain is appointed by the head of the family, and he has something important to report to the Fujun." ”

"My lord is still in the rear, if you have any important information, you can tell General Ben first." Zhou Zhuoyun was dressed in armor and carried a spear in his hand, looking quite powerful.

The young man dressed as a young man shook his head and said, "The head of the family has a word first, and this matter can only be said to the monarch of the Chen Mansion, please forgive the general." ”

"God is mysterious, my army is about to attack Bashan, what can't you let General Ben know first?" Zhou Zhuoyun frowned slightly, quite dissatisfied with this.

He is now a military commander of other parts of the army, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking officer, and he is also the vanguard officer of this expedition against Bashan, and he actually wants to skip him and report directly to the lord if he has important information, who does he look down on?

"The stakes are very high, the villain doesn't dare to make an assertion, and ask the general to make it convenient." The little guy didn't dare to raise the bar with Zhou Zhuoyun, so he had to lower his posture again and again.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, and was worried about delaying the fighter, Zhou Zhuoyun waved his hand impatiently and said, "Herald, take this person to the Chinese army to meet the lord immediately." ”

"Whoa!" The herald took the order and left, and hurried away with his little servant on horseback.

Zhou Zhuoyun glanced at it, and immediately didn't care about continuing the march, and directly ordered the team to rest in place and wait for the Chinese army to issue a new military order.

In the process of resting, a general came over and handed a water bladder and flattered: "General, that person just now looked like he came out of a big family, what can he do with the prince?" ”

"Do your own thing, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Zhou Zhuoyun took the water bladder, raised his head and took a sip, but he didn't care too much.

Since the surrender of Chen Ziqian, he is still quite important in the army, at least his military position has been promoted, and Sima and Zuo Duwei of other departments are still very important to him, and it can be said that the future is bright.

The key is that no one treats him as a general, and he is greatly respected here, which is far from being comparable to the time when he worked for Zeng Yuanqi, which makes him feel a sense of belonging.

Now that Chen Ziqian has conquered Bashan and appointed him as a striker, he should do his best to serve the lord.

The general said with a dry smile: "The subordinates just think that this matter is extraordinary, hasn't the general heard of it?" This time our army conquered Huaihua, that Zhang Taishou has been responding passively, how can the famous general who sat on the position of Taishou step by step by force be so light on the enemy? ”

"It's a bit of an anomaly, but what does that mean?" Zhou Zhuoyun frowned slightly, he also saw something strange in his eyes, since the army entered Huaihua, it was indeed too smooth to come all the way, but Chen Ziqian, Luo Taibai and others didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask too much about Sima of other troops.

Now listening to his subordinate Governor Ya mentioning it, it is inevitable that he will be a little moved.

The general said: "Bashan is located in a special place, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, but intelligence shows that there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Bashan City, which is too abnormal, and his subordinates are worried that most of this trip is fraudulent, and the general must not guard against it." ”

"That's it?" Zhou Zhuoyun squinted slightly, thinking that the other party could say anything, but he just let out a painless fart.

What the hell is this, are you making fun of him?

Seeing this situation, the general hurriedly whispered, "Doesn't the general think it's strange? The government used the troops in Huaihua this time, and the two marches were surrendered to the vanguard, first General Zhuang, and now the general you, it seems to be entrusted with a heavy task, but in fact it is mostly to test the enemy's situation, and the really important combat mission has always been carried out by the soldiers and horses of the government and the general, and the general still doesn't understand? ”

"You mean the lord is deliberately using us generals as bait?" Zhou Zhuoyun's expression fluctuated, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Seeing this, General Du Ya hurriedly added: "If this is not the case, why can't the general know about the secret report?" ”

Zhou Zhuoyun kept his mouth shut and didn't answer, but there were a lot of waves in his heart.

As a general, the most taboo thing is to be excluded and isolated, and now this situation just shows that Chen Ziqian does not treat him as his own, otherwise why should he hide it from him if there is intelligence?

The general also said with a serious face: "General, there is no big mistake in being careful, we had better leave a way back for ourselves." ”

"If you have any suggestions, let's hear them first." Zhou Zhuoyun squinted at the other party, and he had already begun to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

The general said bluntly: "My subordinates heard that the assassin has led 100,000 soldiers and horses back to Huaihua, and the prince of the palace has attacked Huaihua this time, even if he can succeed in the end, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the 100,000 army of the assassin history. ”

"You want General Ben to sell out for glory?" Zhou Zhuoyun's eyes were surging with murderous intent, he was a general, but wouldn't he lose face if he surrendered?

Du Ya Jiang chuckled in his heart, and immediately knelt down in a panic and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"Hmph, put away your little bit of caution, and then dare to talk nonsense to bewitch the army's heart, be careful that I cut off your dog's head!" Zhou Zhuoyun glared and scolded, so frightened that Du Ya nodded again and again.

But Zhou Zhuoyun said this, but he was already seated in his heart, and some restless emotions were born.

Maybe when it comes to life and death, it is not impossible to abandon Chen Ziqian.

Zhou Zhuoyun waved away the general, and unconsciously, his loyalty dropped from 90 points to 50 points......
