Chapter 282: Luring the Enemy Deeper

Liaodong County Shou Li Wang looked at Mu Bai's heart and sneered secretly, secretly saying that this Mu Bai is really okay. The leader of the Fuyu tribe, Wei Qiutai, who led the army to come, did not want to use the army to attack the city because Goguryeo and Fuyu were from the same lineage, and wanted to make Goguryeo and Fuyu unite again and become the largest Yi tribe in Liaodong through peace talks.

However, Mu Bai, the leader of Goguryeo, faced with the pressure of Fuyu's heavy troops, in order to stabilize the offensive pace of the Fuyu tribe, he sent an envoy to the Fuyu camp on the one hand, saying that Mu Bai was discussing the merger of the two sides with his subordinates, but on the other hand, he was contacting the official army of Youzhou, wanting to protect his tribe with the help of the power of the official army.

For people like Mu Bai, Li Wang can only say one sentence about the traitor in troubled times, as the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, Wei Qiutai is merciful because he is lucky, resulting in the loss of the best opportunity to attack. This can't blame others, and can only blame Wei Qiutai for being too simple.

Li Wang looked at the large battalion of Wei Qiutai's headquarters, the camp was full of tents, and the soldiers were clearly distinguished, which was not comparable to the coalition army of his own counties. If Wei Qiutai launched an attack at this moment, Li Wang's 30,000 officers and troops would confront it head-on, and they would definitely be shattered by the cavalry of Wei Qiutai's department. The only way to deal with the enemy is to hold on to the tribe and wait for the rescue of Zhao Yi's Youzhou camp.

Li Wang secretly felt bitter in his heart, and said that last time Gongsun Du led the Liaodong soldiers to attack the Goguryeo tribe, resulting in almost half of the casualties of the Liaodong soldiers, this time his own officers and troops went out to deal with the strength of the Goguryeo soldiers, but the number was much higher than the 40,000 cavalry of Goguryeo, and he didn't know how many of his more than 10,000 soldiers could return to Liaodong County safely.

The official army and the Goguryeo soldiers cooperated to defend the tribe, Li Wang naturally fought for the officers and troops of the department to fight for a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Mu Bai's idea was the same as Li Wang, it was in order to preserve the strength of his tribe that Mu Bai sent a messenger into Youzhou to ask for help from the officials and soldiers, if the officers and troops did not lose, and his own casualties were huge. After that day, even if the Fuyu tribe was defeated by the Youzhou official army, his own tribe was still not out of danger.

At that time, there were very few tribal soldiers, and there were many old, weak, women and children, and the officials and soldiers of Youzhou who got half of their property might also value the other half of their tribe's property, even their own tribe's cattle, sheep and war horses, and even the people and women of their own tribe.

If that is the case, the Goguryeo tribe might as well fall into the hands of the Fuyu tribe, so Mubai must master the scale and proportion with the official army, so that the official army and the Fuyu tribe can kill each other, and he will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"This Wei Qiutai turned out to be a subordinate of my Goguryeo tribe, and he had to pay tribute to our tribe every year. But now that I see that there are not many soldiers left in our army, they have come to attack my tribe and take advantage of the danger of others, what kind of heroes are heroes. Mu Bai snorted coldly, counting the crimes of the Fuyu tribe.

Li Wang heard this and said secretly in his heart, Mu Bai is really a shameless villain, you were in cahoots with Qiu Liju the day before yesterday, and invaded Youzhou when the Youzhou army left Youzhou, causing 200,000 people in Youzhou to be displaced. Isn't this also taking advantage of people's danger?

But Li Wang only said this in his heart, after all, the two sides are still in an alliance relationship, and now Li Wang's officials and troops have entered the Goguryeo tribe, looking at the panicked men, women, and children in the tribe, Li Wang's eyes flashed, and he said in his heart that if he was not in his hands now with 30,000 soldiers, but 80,000 Youzhou officers and soldiers, then Li Wang was afraid that he would not care about the rest of the troops outside, but would directly order an attack on the Goguryeo tribe to avenge the country's revenge.

But now Li Wang can only think about these things, after retreating from the Fuyu tribe, whether to withdraw the army or turn the horse's head to conquer the Goguryeo tribe on the spot, that is Zhao Yi's final say.

Not to mention the soldiers and horses of the counties and towns that are gradually coming, it is enough to add 80,000 soldiers from Youzhou to conquer the Goguryeo tribe. The 80,000 soldiers in Youzhou and his 30,000 soldiers together have 110,000.

"What the leader said is good, but now the Fuyu tribe, the morale of the soldiers is flourishing, if it is a head-on impact, our department will not be the opponent of Wei Qiutai, so now we can only stick to the tribe and wait for Lord Mu Zhao of Youzhou to lead the reinforcements to come." Li Wang mentioned.

Mu Bai was very clear about Li Wang's details, and the number of soldiers brought by Li Wang was quite large, but Mu Bai knew that these soldiers were just pieced together from several surrounding counties, and although there were many people, they had no experience in fighting together, so they were simply a group of rabble.

Don't look at the official army at this time, there are 30,000 people, but these 30,000 rabble, fighting head-on with the Fuyu tribe, I am afraid that they will not be able to support even an hour. If the recruited officers and reinforcements collapse in a short period of time, the morale of the soldiers of their own tribe will definitely drop somewhat, and on the contrary, they will definitely be high-spirited.

Although the siege of his tribe for several days has not been attacking, which has consumed the sharp energy of the soldiers, if he wins the battle with the official army, the sharp spirit that has been silent in the hearts of the soldiers will be rekindled, and even more than the original.

At that time, under the attack of the fierce soldiers of Fuyu, it may not take much effort to break through the Goguryeo tribe.

Therefore, for the sake of his tribe Mu Bai's consent, Li Wang defended the soldiers of Liaodong County on the spot and waited for reinforcements from Youzhou.

Looking at the officers and soldiers guarding their posts, Mu Bai's hanging heart was stable, with the 30,000 soldiers of the officers and soldiers, plus the fortifications originally built by his own troops. As long as he can't stick to it, Mu Bai has the confidence to support it for ten days.

"I think that the Mubai army is all lightly armed, and what I want is to quickly attack the Goguryeo tribes, as long as we can hold on like this for ten days, and then cut off their food, the morale of the remaining soldiers will be greatly reduced." Li Wang's eyes flickered as he stared at the large camp of the Fuyu tribe.

Mu Bai praised: "Master Li really has good eyesight. Li Wang's sentence pointed out the crux of the problem, not a day after Gongsun Du and their withdrawal of troops, Wei Qiutai had already led his troops here. The march was so fast, it must have not brought much food, and in addition to the fact that the siege had not been attacked for several days, the supplies needed by the army could only be transported here from the Fuyu tribe little by little.

Now the 40,000 soldiers of the Fuyu tribe are all outside the Goguryeo tribe, so it can be said that they are pouring out of the nest and sending the soldiers back to transport grain, but they will definitely not transport too much, because the Fuyu tribe does not know when the battle with Goguryeo will begin, and if it is transported too much, it will be very troublesome to transport it back in the future.

"Although it is expected, according to our current strength, we can only stick to it and wait for help, and we can't lead our troops to dispatch." Li Wang smiled bitterly, he has too few troops in his hands now, if he is broken by Wei Qiutai, then he will lose a lot.

"Everything can only wait until Lord Youzhou Muzhao arrives here." Mu Bai sighed, now that the situation is pressing, Mu Bai can only choose so.

The Goguryeo tribes lined up and were ready to be beaten, and at this moment, the Fuyu camp had to change its plan because of the intervention of the official army.

Wei Qiutai, who was sitting in the camp tent, slammed the bronze jue to the ground, and hated Mu Bai to the peak, "This Mu Bai is too cunning, lying to me and talking to the people about whether the two departments will unite, but behind his back, he actually contacted the officials and troops of Liaodong. It's hateful! ”

"Don't be angry, chief, although the Goguryeo tribe has officials and troops to help, our department still has a chance." A strategist-like person analyzed the current situation between the two sides. "According to the report of our department, there are about 30,000 officers and soldiers who have entered the Goguryeo tribe, and these 30,000 people are not the brave and warlike Youzhou officials and soldiers, but the 30,000 rabble led by the Liaodong county guard. The combat effectiveness of the department is not strong. ”

Hearing this, the general in this tent couldn't hold back the surging emotions in his heart: "Chief, if it is really according to what the military advisor said, those 30,000 people are just a rabble, only need to give the last general 10,000 elite soldiers, and the last general will definitely be able to shatter the impact." ”

When the military advisor heard the general's words, he waved his hand slightly: "General, don't be impatient, although these 30,000 officers and troops are a rabble, but now there are fortifications built by the Goguryeo tribe to resist, and they can be broken without waiting for leisure." Moreover, the officers and troops are the best at defending the city, and if our army rashly attacks head-on at this time, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. ”

"Strategist, what do you say we should do?" The general glanced at this military advisor a little impatiently, and secretly said in his heart that resourceful people like to beat around the bush, and just now he said that the 30,000 officers and troops are nothing more than a rabble and his own elite soldiers will collapse at the touch of a button, but now he said that a frontal attack will definitely cause heavy losses. He couldn't figure out whether the military division let himself attack or didn't let it.

"If we want to win, we can only use one trick to lure the enemy deeper. The general can go to the Goguryeo tribe tomorrow to call for battle, and then flee in defeat, luring Li Wang to lead the official army to attack, and our army will attack with it, and we will definitely win a great victory. The military advisor said with a smile, frowning as if he had thought of something, "But there is a drawback to this plan, Li Wang is calm and solid, and he may not pursue because our soldiers fled." ”

He laid a cover, if Li Wang couldn't stick to it like Lian Po in the Battle of Changping, then the efforts of the Fuyu tribe would be in vain.

In the past, Bai Qi used a counter-strategy, causing King Zhao Xiaocheng to replace Zhao Kuo, who was talking on paper, with Lian Po, who was accustomed to fighting.

But the current situation is very different from the battle of Changping that day, there is only one King Zhao Xiaocheng and Zhao Kuo throughout the ages, and Lian Po was subject to King Zhao Xiaocheng at the beginning, and Li Wang was not only not subject to Mu Bai, but Mu Bai also had to count on Li Wang. Luring the enemy deep into this strategy is not easy to implement.

Saying that, the military advisor's eyes lit up, and he thought of a plan again: "There is another plan for the humble position, and the army of Guan Bao Li Wang will definitely come out of the Goguryeo tribe!" ”

When the general heard this, he became interested and asked the military advisor: "Please say it?" ”

The military advisor unfolded the map of Liaodong and pointed to the county town of Liaodong: "Even if Li Wang has reached a consensus with the Goguryeo tribe, he will never be able to escape the responsibility of guarding Liaodong County. When he said this, the military advisor raised his eyes and looked at the people in the military tent, and saw that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention to himself, and the corners of his mouth were full of a calm smile: "If our army sends an elite army to attack the county town of Liaodong, what do the generals think?" ”
