Chapter 229: The enemy army is pressing, and Xuzhou is in danger
In a word, they were speechless when asked.
Besides, Bai Qi is not a recruit, but a person who graduated from the Military Academy and took the first place in the exam, and was also named General Ning Yuan by Lu Bu, and now he is a pioneer, so there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
"I have decided on this matter, and there is no need to say more. Think about how to break out of the encirclement. Luo Cheng asked people to hang up the map, and asked Bai Qi to stand first on the left-hand side.
The lieutenants and adjutant generals all graduated from the military academy and have certain talents.
Hou Cheng offered a plan: "As long as we concentrate the elite, break through to the north, and capture the enemy camp thirty miles away, we can jump out of the encirclement." ”
Luo Cheng frowned, waved his hand and said, "No." The further north, the more plains. It is conducive to the enemy's iron cavalry combat, and all the official roads and dangers are occupied by Xu Huang, and we can't escape. Especially in the camp thirty miles away, there are 6,000 elite garrisons, we can't attack it in a short time, once caught up by the tiger camp, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"General Luo is right, we can't go north, we should go south, there are fewer enemies in the south, which is conducive to our army breaking through."
"No, it should go to the southwest, there is the Huai River in the southwest, as long as you follow the Huai River, you can leave."
..............
The generals gossiped and came up with a lot of bad ideas.
Luo Cheng listened and reprimanded: "You have been studying in the Military Academy for four months, what have you learned?" Are you embarrassed to say these unreliable strategies? ”
Hou Cheng rolled his eyes and asked, "Does the general have a plan?" ”
"Nope."
Luo Cheng didn't shy away from it, and replied very simply.
Bai Qi stood up, clenched his fists and said, "I have a plan!" ”
"If you have a plan, just say it." Hou Chengdao.
"Say it." Luo Cheng also nodded at him.
Bai Qi said: "My strategy is very complicated and risky, I am afraid that the general will not accept it." ”
Luo Cheng smiled: "We don't have a plan now, if you have, why can't I accept it?" But the ugly words are ahead, you can't be like them, let me go back to Yangzhou, let alone go to the Huai River, because we don't have warships. ”
All the generals lowered their heads, not daring to look into Luo Cheng's eyes.
Bai Qi looked around left and right, hesitated, and said, "I still can't say." If the general trusts me, let me command this great battle, and I promise to fight through the East China Sea and break out of the encirclement. ”
"Bai Qi, what did you kid say? Don't think that if you are a general, you can do whatever you want. Hou Cheng said angrily.
The rest of the generals were not convinced.
Anyway, they are also old people in the army, it's okay to listen to Luo Cheng's orders, how can they listen to the words of a little hairy child who has not dried up? Besides, Luo Cheng is still there, so he wants to skip the command, where to put Luo Cheng?
"Hou Cheng stepped aside." Luo Chengdao.
"General, you can't listen to this little doll, let's fight by ourselves, and we can cross the East China Sea." Hou Cheng said urgently.
Luo Cheng thought about it, got up and said, "You all quit the camp, and you are not allowed to come in without my order." ”
"General..."
"Stand down!" Luo Cheng shouted.
"No."
The congregation will withdraw from the tents.
Luo Cheng looked at Bai Qi and said, "You don't have to tell them, but you have to tell me." Because I am responsible for the soldiers. You must know that every soldier has a family, parents, wives and children, and I can't squander their lives for you. Do you understand what I mean? ”
"Understood." Although Bai Qi is young, he is also sensible.
He walked to the map and said: "The enemy uses 40,000 elites to occupy all dangerous points and official roads, form a blockade line, and use 70,000 tiger camps to surround and intercept us, wanting to eat us in one bite." No matter where we break through, it is a dead end, because their iron horses can rush to any place in a very short time. My plan is.... ”
Bai Qi said it seriously in a childish voice, just like pouring beans, and explained the strategy and the plan.
After Luo Cheng heard this, he was silent for a long time.
As Bai Qi said, the strategy is very complex and risky, and if it is not very good, there is a possibility of total annihilation.
"General, you can't hesitate. Soldiers are expensive in a strange word, if you don't dare to take risks, where is the strange soldier? Besides, the enemy will continue to compress and surround us, and soon they will encircle us here, and at that time, no strategy will work. Bai Qi persuaded.
"Okay, I'll go crazy with you."
After thinking about it, Luo Cheng made up his mind, called all the generals outside the tent in, and began to arrange combat missions according to Bai Qi's strategy.
Winter solstice.
Pengcheng border.
Fan Lihua led 70,000 elites to march to Yanzhou. Prepare to copy Cao Cao's lair!
But when he was halfway there, he suddenly received news that there were hundreds of thousands of Cao troops coming to Xuzhou. In particular, the northwest one, led by Cao Ren and Cheng Yu, has 170,000 people.
Fan Lihua was startled and hurriedly led the army back to Pengcheng.
"Pengchengguo is the gateway to my Xuzhou, and we must not lose it. I'm going to defend Pengcheng to the death, what do you think? In the Pengcheng County Guard's Mansion, Fan Lihua held a military meeting and asked the generals under his command.
She is also full of talents in her hands now. Not only Liang Hongyu, who graduated from the Military Academy, but also Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang, who had just been promoted, were all qualified to participate in the Military Council.
"The terrain of Pengcheng Country is flat, which is conducive to the enemy's iron cavalry combat, and the last general does not approve of holding it to the death." Liang Hongyu said.
"The Admiral disagrees with it either." Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang said.
The rest of the generals looked at each other and did not speak. Why don't you speak? Because they have followed Fan Lihua for many years, they know that Fan Lihua is like a god, and they have confidence in Fan Lihua.
Since Fan Lihua said that she would stick to it, that was the best strategy.
"You three, do you know the importance of Peng Chengguo? Pengcheng was lost, and Xiapi was in danger. Xiapi is the old capital, there are a large number of industrial areas, white paper, fairy wine, these things must not fall into the hands of the enemy. In addition, the economy of Xuyang and Xuyang Prefecture must be maintained by a stable situation, and once the enemy enters our Xuzhou, it will make the people suspicious, causing a large amount of copper coins to be exchanged. Because they were afraid that Xuzhou would be occupied by the enemy, the paper money in their hands would turn into waste paper. ”
Fan Lihua's words, they really didn't think about it.
Because Liang Hongyu, Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang are all purely considered from a military point of view.
"It is reported that the people who marched to Pengchengguo were Cao Ren and Cheng Yu, and there were 170,000 people under their command, even if we held on, we couldn't hold it. Moreover, their iron cavalry will block the official road, and it will be too late to retreat. Liang Hongyu said.
Yue Fei stood up: "Not only that. If the enemy sends iron cavalry to surround us, and then bypasses Pengcheng and directly attacks Xiapi, then Xuzhou will be really dangerous. ”
"yes, I'm in a dilemma right now."
Fan Lihua sighed, walked back and forth, and thought about how to deal with the enemy.
After a while, she called, "Ruby." ”
"Yes."
Fan Lihua looked at the map and said, "You are the five-rank Zhaolie general of the lord's seal, except for me, you have the highest position." I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, send the people, grain, grass, and weapons of Pengcheng to Xiapi City, and then defend Xiapi to wait for help. ”
"General, what about you?" Liang Hongyu was overjoyed and puzzled.
Fan Lihua said: "I'm going to the East China Sea to meet Luo Cheng's troops." In this case, we will have an army of more than 100,000 people, which is enough to meet Cao Ren. But there must be no loss in Xiapi City, and you have to promise me that until I return, you must defend it! ”
"General rest assured, the city is in the people, the city is ruined!" Liang Hongyu also put down the cruel words.
