Chapter 149: Stratagem

Peng Lin and Sun Tie looked at it very carefully, and after a long time, they put down the information in their hands.

"General, if it is really as said above, it is indeed a little difficult to take Yiju County. No matter how the general plans, just give the order, I just follow the order and never take a step back! Sun Tie patted his chest and said.

"Call you two for this! You see, we are in the area from Xinping County to Shimen Pass, and we have a total of 4,000 troops. These people are very weak when they are placed on the defense line of two or three hundred miles. Especially this is the second county of Xinping County in Yiju County, and Fenyi County in the east is only placed with 500 people because there is a stone gate closed behind it! But in Qi County, 1,500 people were placed. The sum of these people is already far less than Sanglun in Yiju County, let alone attacking Yiju County! So, it was a must! Li Xin didn't talk nonsense, and directly analyzed the two of them.

"With our current strength, if we want to increase our troops, I'm afraid we can only use new recruits who have just been trained for a few days. In this way, the soldiers and horses of Yiju County with high combat effectiveness are still facing it, but I am afraid that the situation is not very optimistic! Hearing this, Peng Lin couldn't help frowning.

Sun Tie on the side also had the same expression, obviously, he also felt that there was a lot of risk in this. He has been training the new army with Hu Tian and Peng Lin for a while, so he still knows the current level of the new army very well.

"Yes! That's why I called you! Those recruits will inevitably be used, but the key is to see how we use them! I have decided that the two of you, each with 2,000 men and horses, will go out day and night, and quietly rush to Xinping County and other places to replace the original defenders in these places. When you arrive, I will join Li Erhei, and then all the original defensive soldiers and horses will be drawn together, so that there will be 4,000 veterans of good fighting. If you deal with Yiju County, you will have a much greater grasp! Li Xin nodded.

Li Xin's words made Peng Lin and Sun Tie's eyes light up. But the key lies in a secret, if there is a half-point spread pool in the middle, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.

Since the Huashan Army occupied Xinping County, Sang Lun in Yiju County must have been unable to sleep and eat, so it is impossible to have less surveillance. If this trick is implemented well enough, the other party will not find out about the exchange of soldiers and horses in Xinping County, and naturally there will be no abnormal movement.

But once the other party discovers the secret, he will immediately startle the snake, and then Sang Lun is afraid that he will soon think that Li Xin's target is him. Therefore, when the time comes, it is very likely that they will strike first and make the first move against the second county of Xinping County!

Therefore, from this point of view, the recruits who are replaced must also have a certain combat effectiveness. Otherwise, if things change, they probably won't be able to help at all.

The soldiers and horses brought out this time must be those who have been on the battlefield. And among all the recruits, only those who have experienced the test of war are suitable.

"After the two of us go back, we will immediately screen the soldiers and horses, and wait for the general's order at any time~ Something!" After understanding the key to this, Peng Lindang said.

"Well, you have to keep this matter a secret. After the army was arranged, they set off as soon as possible and joined me in Qi County! Li Xin nodded, he was still very relieved about the work of these two people.

After the explanation, the two quickly left. And Li Xin himself began to prepare, and soon, he quietly rushed to Li Erhei.

That night, he quietly went out of Chang'an City with his own soldiers, and then went north along Jingshui all the way, and directly entered the county seat of Qixian County at dawn. The group came in hiding, so few people found out about his whereabouts at all.

After Li Erhei got the news, he immediately welcomed Li Xin into the county office.

"Why are you here?" After just sitting down, Li Erhei couldn't help but wonder.

Recently, he has been peaceful here, and he heard that Hedong County has just been beaten down now, so I really don't know why Li Xin ran over at this time. The main thing is that it still ran quietly.

"I'm here to find you this time for the sake of Yiju County!"

"Yiju County? Great, have you finally decided to do something to that guy at Sanglun? I knew you had other plans, so I put up with that guy all the time. I want to buy some salt from him, but he won't sell it to us! Hearing this, Li Erhei immediately understood and said excitedly.

He has been defending this line for a while, and he has not fought a battle for a long time, except for the first time when he came to capture this Xinping County. For him, it was really uncomfortable, like a child with ADHD, who felt uncomfortable if he didn't move for a moment.

A person like him is naturally suitable for charging on the battlefield, not for sitting behind a desk and writing.

"I didn't have time before, but now, I have my hands free. The current situation in Guanzhong is like a big game of chess, and Yiju County is the last chess piece I will fall. Once this chess piece is settled, then I will be able to grasp the initiative of this big chess game and live the whole game, and our Huashan Army will have a much better time in the future! Li Xin knows his character very well, and he also knows that he is not actually belligerent, but just idle! Therefore, he did not blame much, and explained a little, so that he understood the importance of this action.

"And when are you going to send troops? If you start a war this time, you must let me be the vanguard, I have to catch that guy in Sanglun! Li Erhei looked a little impatient.

"We'll have to wait another two days. You've been here for a few days, and you should know best what Sanglun's strength is. This matter must not be ignored, since it is going to be fought, it is naturally the best solution at one time! Li Xin saw his expression, but shook his head and said slowly.

"What you said makes sense, that guy is much older than us, but he is much more ruthless than us. I heard that two days ago, he arrested a new group of people to dry salt for him, and a few of them couldn't stand the suffering, so they secretly ran away. Unexpectedly, Sang Lun sent cavalry to chase after him, and he grabbed those people back, and then chopped those innocent people alive in front of all the salt workers! That scene, tsk, I am also a person who is used to seeing life and death, and I shudder a little when I hear about it! Hearing this, Li Erhei quieted down. After a pause, he sighed.

Such a person cannot remain in the world. Let's get rid of him earlier, and it can be regarded as a blessing for the people! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice.

Subsequently, Li Xin told his plan, and the two discussed the specific battle plan.

The place where this Yiju County is located is at the intersection of Jingshui and muddy water! The muddy water is actually the Malian River in later generations, which is a major tributary of Jingshui. The water of this river is usually clear and drinkable, but during the flood season, it is turbid and undrinkable.

In particular, the water of this river is so salty that it cannot be drunk by humans and animals, but it is best used to make salt. This is also why here in Yiju County, during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there would be a salt official.

"The soldiers and horses under Na Sanglun are indeed not low, especially these armaments, which are much better than ours. There are more than 3,500 people on the other side, whether it is sticking to the county seat of Yiju or going out of the city to fight with us, we may not be able to easily win against them! Although we have mobilized veterans along the line, there are more people than the other party! After listening to the whole plan, Li Erhei pondered for a moment before he said.

"That's what worries me the most! Na Sanglun has been operating in Yiju County for many years, and there must be a lot of materials and food reserves in the city, once the other party decides to defend it, we really can't fight it for a while. Time is the most unaffordable thing for us! Li Xin nodded, also a little worried.

"Then let's find a way to force him out of the city to fight us, how about it?" The two were silent for a while, and Li Erhei said suddenly.

"Tell me about it! What can you do? ”

"Although Na Sanglun is not weak, the salt-producing land outside the city is his biggest weakness. Since I occupied this Xinping Second County, he has always been careful to guard against our Huashan Army. In particular, those salt ponds and other places have strengthened their vigilance. This is his life based on Yiju County~ root, as long as we start from this direction, he will definitely not be able to sit still! ”

"Well, that makes sense! If you lead your troops directly out of the city and make it look like you want to capture the salt pond or attack, the other party will definitely not sit idly by. Especially when you attack with inferior forces, the other party will inevitably have contempt, and it is very likely that you will go out of the city to confront you. In this way, the emptiness of the city can give us a great opportunity! If I take some troops and horses and make a surprise attack behind enemy lines, the other party will definitely not be able to stop you and me from attacking together! At the same time, you can also divide your troops and horses to seize the city! Inspired by this, Li Xin quickly revised the entire plan.

"Yes, yes, that's it, no matter how powerful Sanglun's soldiers and horses are, once the county is lost, the morale of the army will be shaken. At this time, you and I will join forces to kill for a while, even if this Sang Lun does not die in the hands of you and me, he will definitely lose half his life! When Li Erhei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, then let's do the same. Let's still carry out the plan of hiding from the world, but we need to modify it slightly. In this way, it will be easier for Na Sanglun to take the bait! At this point, Li Xinzhong has already figured out the entire battle situation, so when the decision is finalized.
