Chapter 198: Entering Liyang
Mai Mengcai said directly: "Since the Tang army is here, the water in the eastern capital will be muddy, and at this time, find Li Mi to fight a decisive battle, Li Mi will suffer from the enemy on his back, which is a good way!" ”
Yang Gongren shook his head and said: "The Tang army is just a variable, it is still too risky, our army has no foothold, once it can't win quickly, if it can't gain a foothold, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out, and the risk is too great!" ”
Pei Ju thought carefully for a while, and immediately knelt down and admonished: "Holy Lord, our army has been running for a long time, and it has fallen into the inferiority of the soldiers, and now the initiative in the situation is mine, I can fight steadily, there is no need to take risks, and the collapse of Sashui is unforgettable!" ”
Yang Guang smiled and helped Pei Ju up, and said, "How can I forget the failure of the Sa water collapse!" I'm not going to risk the lives of my soldiers anymore! ”
After that, Yang Guang continued to look at Xue Rengui with a smile and encouraged: "Rengui, what is your conservative approach!" ”
Xue Rengui scolded Fang Xuan on the map, and said eloquently: "Shengshang, if our army leaves these 80,000 soldiers on the left and right sides, monitor the camp of the thief army, let the general lead most of the water division, camp in front of the camp of the thief army, and at the same time put all the cavalry of our army on the retreat of the thief army, and then we will concentrate all the infantry of the Xiaoguo army to storm Liyang Cangcheng!" ”
Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he urged: "Tell me your basis." ”
Xue Rengui said confidently: "Our army has nearly 300,000 armor, and the number of people who can participate in the battle is far more than that of the thief army. As long as I use my method, I will be able to nail Xu Shiji to the camp and not be able to move, and then, our army will attack the Liyang Cangcheng garrisoned by the unscrupulous generals with the Xiaoguo army, so that the city of Liyang can go down in ten days, and when the time comes, if Liyang is lost, won't the thief army on the opposite side collapse without a fight!? ”
Yu Shiji was puzzled: "Now the one who guards Liyang Cangcheng should be Xu Shiji's father, Xu Gai, a wealthy businessman from Lihu, his sons are so powerful, how can he, the father of famous generals, not have two brushes!?" ”
Lai Hu'er quickly agreed with Xue Rengui's suggestion, and seconded: "The tiger father can give birth to a dog, and the tiger son may also be a dog father!" Shengshang, the minister agrees with Xue Beishen's strategy, Liyang Cangcheng is not very strong, although there are 30,000 or 40,000 defenders in it, but there is no Xu Shiji in charge, there is no need to worry! ”
Feng Deyi touched his beard and seconded: "Holy Lord, the minister seconded the proposal!" Now that the Tang army has seized Xin'an and other places, Li Mi's sphere of influence has been provoked and threatened, and in a short period of time, it will never rush to the aid of Liyang, so our army divides its troops to surround Xu Shiji in this way, and the plan of attacking Liyang is feasible. ”
Pei Ju was not so optimistic, and said worriedly: "Holy Lord, the old minister thinks that if Li Mi reaches some agreement with the Tang Army in private, and then personally leads the troops, or arranges for his cottage leaders to come to the aid of Liyang, it is not impossible, we should guard against this hand." ”
Yang Guang stopped and said with a sly smile: "This point that Hongdae is considering really needs to be guarded against, but I think Xue Beishen's suggestion is very good, and our army is worth taking such a risk!" Compared with continuing to smash Xu Shiji's stinky and hard dung fossil, Liyang Cangcheng may be much easier to fight, and maybe it can become a breakthrough for our army on the battlefield of Liyang! ”
Xue Rengui's eyes lit up and asked, "Then in this way, the Holy Lord has decided?" ”
Yang Guang looked around at everyone and saw that everyone had no objections, so he ordered: "Just according to Xue Beishen's strategy, let's go our separate ways!" ”
"No~!"
At the head of Liyang City, Xu Gai was dressed in a fine silk brocade robe, wearing a virtuous crown, standing at the head of the city dressed as a gentry, looking at the mighty Xiaoguo army in front of him with a worried look, and muttered: "Why did the Sui army come over, was Maogong defeated?" ”
Xu Gai's nephew Xu Shibi was wearing a pair of shiny and stylish armor, but his eyes revealed panic, at this moment he shook Xu Gai's arm anxiously and asked: "Uncle, the Sui army is pressing the border, and it will soon surround Liyang Cangcheng, what should we do!?" ”
Xu Gai is also the master of the six gods at the moment, he can't know the military situation on the front line, so he has to analyze: "A few days earlier, Mao Gong also wrote that although the Sui army's attack was fierce, they had passed the most difficult moment, and they would definitely be able to withstand the Sui army's follow-up attack, so I don't have to worry." At this moment, the Sui army is coming in large numbers, and it may be that it will not be able to break through the camp of Maogong, so I want to come to Liyang first! ”
Xu Shibi gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, we have to defend Liyang Cangcheng, otherwise everything is over!" ”
Xu Gai said with a solemn face: "Get ready for battle, this will be a vicious battle, you have to fight hard!" ”
While the uncle and nephew of the Xu family were talking, Lai Hu'er also drove to Liyang City with the Xiaoguo Army, and while listening to Pei Ju's introduction to the garrison in the city, Lai Hu'er grabbed the mud under his feet, touched it in the palm of his hand, and kept kneading, his eyes were condensed and thoughtful.
Pei Ju was like a small staff officer, following Laihu'er, and dutifully introduced the city defense situation of Liyang to the commander in detail before the war: "Dashuai, although this Liyang Cangcheng is not as strong as Yecheng and Guanggu, but because it is an important granary in Hebei, its city defense facilities are much stronger than the general county seat when it is built, but since the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, Liyang's city defense has been destroyed in the war twice, although it has been repaired later, but the city defense is not as strong as before, so, The biggest difficulty in our army's attack is that the 30,000 or 40,000 thief troops inside have collected their troops, and if they blindly attack, I am afraid that some sacrifices are inevitable! ”
Lai Hu'er pinched the mud ball in his hand, let it slowly slide between his fingers, and then said with a smile: "Pei Shangshu, Ben Shuai decided to repair the plank road in the open, and the darkness is Chencang!" ”
Pei Ju was puzzled, but asked, "Dashuai, what does this mean?" ”
Laihu'er smiled and explained: "Liyang is close to the Yellow River, and its geology is soft and the soil is loose, which is convenient for construction on the ground. As long as our army shouts drums and shouts on the surface, pretending to attack Liyang, and secretly digging tunnels to go straight to Liyang City, in this way, our army can easily take Liyang! ”
Pei Ju frowned and said: "Marshal, digging tunnels is time-consuming and laborious, if Xu Gai sees through it, won't our army waste time and opportunities?" ”
Lai Hu'er stopped and said confidently: "The plank road is visible in the Ming repair, but it doesn't mean that the plank road is useless." In the same way, Ben Shuai said that he was feintting to attack Liyang, but he would still do his best to attack the city, and secretly came to secretly Chen Cang, so that no matter which side succeeded, our army could take Liyang! This Xu Gai is not good at military affairs, and it is very reluctant to deal with the strong attack of our army, and he will never find out the authenticity of our army! ”
"In this way, the old man wishes the handsome flag a victory!" Pei Ju arched his hand and smiled.
"I'll lend you good luck!" The tiger who came to protect the child flashed and said.
