Fall back?

It must be impossible, so mobilizing the people, and then retreating, he Li Keyong can't afford to lose this person. And if he retreats, it will bring an illusion to outsiders, that is, he is afraid of the imperial court.

Don't look at Li Keyong now, but he has many enemies, and the surrounding towns don't want to defeat Li Keyong all the time. Before, because of his strength, these people could still endure it, as long as he showed his decline, it is conceivable that those people would be like mad dogs, surrounding him and biting off a piece of meat from him.

If you can't retreat, then you can only fight.

But how to fight, it's not up to a few of them to have the final say. So Li Keyong asked Yang Fugong and Wang Chongrong to come and discuss how to attack Chang'an.

"Your Highness, to attack Chang'an, you must first take Huazhou. Now our army is hoarding north of Weiqiao, if we attack Chang'an with all our strength, and the army of Huazhou sneaks up from behind, we will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on our backs, which is a taboo for soldiers. ”

In front of people, Li Kening did not call Li Keyong his eldest brother, but called him a knighthood, and at the beginning, he was like his eldest brother's suggestion, which was equivalent to admitting that the people present were headed by his eldest brother.

Wang Chongrong didn't mind this, he originally followed Li Ke to fight the autumn wind. And he also plans to marry Li Keyong and let his stepson Wang Ke marry Li Keyong's daughter.

Wang Ke was not his son, but he had no children, so he succeeded a nephew as his own son from a cousin, Wang Chongjian. Although he is only a stepson, Wang Chongrong regards him as his own, and if he can marry Li Keyong, his river will be safer.

Don't look at Li Keyong is only 31 years old this year, but he got married when he was a teenager, and the eldest daughter born to his wife has also reached the age of marriage, so Wang Chongrong began to play with Li Keyong's eldest daughter.

So the one who was really unhappy was Yang Fugong. But now Yang Fugong is also alone, there are no soldiers under him, Yang Shouliang doesn't know what's going on, and he hasn't led the army over yet, which makes him even more speechless.

"Fourth, you're too forward-looking, don't you just attack Chang'an directly. Big brother, give my brother 10,000 troops, and I can take Weiqiao in two days and fight under Chang'an City. Li Kegong said dissatisfied.

"Third child, what nonsense?" Li Keyong's expression was a little displeased, and he had a headache for this third brother who was too straight.

It is definitely not possible to attack Chang'an directly. His army is not good at sieges, have you ever seen a cavalry siege?

Although Chang'an City was damaged many times, the city was thick and thick, and even if his army could take it, it would suffer heavy losses. What he wanted was to lure the enemy out of the city, and then gather and annihilate them.

He immediately thought of the previous plan to take Chang'an from Huang Chao, which was to attack Huazhou, attract Huang Chao to send reinforcements, and then fight with Huang Chao's reinforcements in Zhaoying, so as to attack Chang'an City in one fell swoop.

Of course, although Chang'an City has a city wall, strictly speaking, this so-called city wall is more like an inner city wall. Because at the height of Chang'an City, there were as many as two million people in Chang'an City, including hundreds of thousands of floating population, and it was impossible for all of them to live in Chang'an City, which was unrealistic.

There is no living in the city, and it can only be developed outside the city, that is, the city area, which is not defended by city walls.

Therefore, if you want to take Chang'an City, you must first take Zhaoying County (now Lintong) east of the Bahe River and Weiqiao north of Zhaoying. At present, 50,000 people of the left and right Shence troops commanded by Liu Kui are stationed on the south bank of Weiqiao.

However, these 50,000 troops are obviously hard stubble, so Li Keyong thought of copying the previous method of attacking Chang'an, attacking Huazhou, and luring the Shence army to support. And he led the army to wait for an opportunity to destroy the reinforcements on the way to support, weaken the strength of the Shence army, and then completely annihilate the Shence army.

Who is called Li Ye Taiti, before Tian Lingzi and Zhu Mei directly stationed more than 100,000 troops in Shayuan, and they were hard to carry the Shatuo army. Li Ye contracted his forces and retreated to the south of the Wei River to defend, which put Li Keyong in a very embarrassing situation.

Don't look at him letting his cavalry provoke King Shou on the north bank of the Wei River, but he can only provoke, this Wei River is not something that can be crossed if you think about it. And crossing the river from the Wei River section north of Chang'an City is no different from looking for death.

was a little unhappy to lose face in front of so many people, but he didn't have the courage to refute Li Keyong, and sat honestly after muttering a few words.

"Your Highness, the lower officials think that we can attack Huazhou and attract the Shou King to send reinforcements. We ambushed Shouwang's reinforcements, thereby killing and damaging Shouwang's army, and demoralized them, and then attacked Chang'an in one fell swoop.

Moreover, our speed must be fast, our food will not last long, and if it becomes a war of attrition, it will be very disadvantageous to His Highness. Gaiyu suggested.

"Gai Ya inevitably underestimated my Wang too much. Although Wang is not as good as the King of Jin, and the army under his command is not as brave and good at fighting as the Shatuo army, Guanzhong is close to the river, and the supply of grain and grass for the 70,000 army is not a problem. Wang Chongrong patted his chest and reassured.

Since you want to be a little brother, you must have the consciousness of being a little brother. He can't fight a war or something, but there is still no problem with logistics.

Gai Yu raised his eyebrows, glanced at the other party, and didn't want to hit the other party, looked at Li Keyong, the other party nodded, and he told him, "Wang Jiedu envoy may not know, Wei Ning has not sent troops until now, we are worried that something may have happened." ”

"Impossible!"

Before Wang Chongrong could react, Yang Fugong stood up angrily and said, "The envoy of the Suining Festival is our nephew Yang Shouliang, and he is absolutely loyal to our family, there is no need to doubt it." ”

"The privy envoy is angry, we are not suspicious of Yang Jiedu, but we are worried about the generals under his command. Since King Shou's people can buy the generals of Zuo Shence's army, why can't they buy the generals under Yang Jiedu's command.

And Suining is only a two-day trip from Chang'an, but until now, we haven't seen the shadow of the Suining army, doesn't this explain the problem? Although Gai Yu gave Yang Fugong enough face in his title, his tone did not have much respect, and Li Keyong did not stop it, which made the people around Yang Fugong a little worried.

Don't drive away the tiger, and usher in the evil wolf, its deployment of bamboo baskets to draw water is empty.

It's just that Yang Fugong doesn't have time to think about these at this time, he can't solve King Shou, everything is in vain, what's the use of thinking so far?

Yang Fugong's face was gloomy and dripping, he was also worried, but he kept comforting himself, thinking that it was just that Yang Shouliang's army was a little slower.

"It's all Gai's speculation, isn't it?" Yang Fugong said in a deep voice.

Gai Yu wanted to continue to explain, but Li Keyong saw that Yang Fugong's face was getting more and more ugly, so he hurriedly stopped the other party and became a peacemaker, "The privy envoy is angry, and Gai Ya is just a little straightforward, and he has no other meaning."

It doesn't help to say that, my plan is simple. Lure King Shou's army out of Chang'an, and then look for an opportunity to annihilate it, so I plan to send an army to attack Huazhou and force King Shou to send reinforcements.

At present, Huazhou is composed of only one so-called Shenji battalion and state soldiers, and the total strength is more than 10,000. Our purpose is not to take Huazhou, but to use Huazhou as a bait to attract King Shou to send reinforcements. The Shatuo army is good at field warfare, so if I lure the enemy out, I will be sure to destroy it.

I wonder which general would be willing to complete this task? ”

After speaking, Li Keyong was like everyone present, but in fact, there were not many people present, either his people or Wang Chongrong's people. There are also people around Yang Fugong, and it is impossible for Li Keyong to hand over this matter to the other party.

In the end, he set his sights on Wang Chongrong.

Very simply, in his opinion, Huazhou is not a difficult city to conquer, and he doesn't want to send his fierce generals over, so it is suitable for Wang Chongrong.

Wang Chongrong was not angry, but understood and laughed, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, leave this matter to Wang." I will lead the 30,000 troops of my headquarters to attack Huazhou, and the army of King Shou will rely on King Jin. ”

"Okay, then it's decided, then I wish us a celebration banquet in Chang'an in a few days!"

In Li Keyong's view, it is nothing more than an attack on Chang'an, even if Zuo Tiance's army comes?
