Chapter 1082: Pharmacist Guo's Scheme
At the mouth of the Haihe River, the banner covers the sky and the sun, countless people and horses appear at the mouth of the Haihe River, Lu Shisang stepped on the land under his feet, and the generals around him also tried to look, with smiles on their faces, these people all live in the south and have never come to the north, not to mention, these places are all controlled by the Jin people, and before this was the land of the Liao people, I didn't expect that my people would have the opportunity to come here.
"What, is it interesting?" Li Jing came slowly on a war horse, and suddenly smiled when he looked at everyone's appearance.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have never been to the north, and everything is new when they come here." Lu Shisang hurriedly said.
"Yes! From then on, these places are the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they are no longer Jinren. Li Jing waved his horsewhip, pointed to the north, and said: "At the beginning, I once conquered the Liao people and captured Youzhou, but unfortunately, Tong Guan is an incompetent guy, hundreds of thousands of horses can't even take Youzhou City, and finally cheapen the Jin people for nothing, which is really hateful." ”
"Your Majesty is still powerful, whether it is a Jin person or a Liao person, it is not Your Majesty's opponent, now that Your Majesty is here, I am afraid that there will still be singing and dancing in Youzhou City?" Li Kang also rode a war horse to follow, and said, "Your Majesty, the Guards have been assembled, just wait for Your Majesty's order." ”
"Lu Qing, the tens of thousands of horses of the water master will be given to you, and some equipment will also be left for you, I will go to Dakoutun first, according to the speed of your progress, you will probably encounter Guo Yaoshi in the Dakoutun area, and when you are almost killed, that is, when I come out, you will temporarily play the banner of Lu Qing, so as not to let Guo Yaoshi know that I came in person, and I dare not appear in front of you." Li Jing said with a smile. What he said is right, the world knows that once Li Jing appears, there must be a guard army around him, according to the strong combat effectiveness of the guards, one person and two horses, as long as Guo Yaoshi is not a fool, he will never dare to lead the army out of the city, tens of thousands of troops temporarily defend Youzhou, and then let Wan Yansheng send an army to rescue Youzhou, it may not be able to support it.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will be able to hold out until His Majesty's army arrives." Lu Shisang also knew that once Guo Yaoshi knew that Li Jing's army was coming, he would not dare to appear, his task was to defend Youzhou to the death, and he could not let Wanyan Zonghan cut off the back road, but in the same way, Wanyan Zonghan's grain and grass were still in the hands of Guo Yaoshi, if it was a long time, there would be no food in Wanyan Zonghan's army, and Zhu Wu's army would definitely be able to conquer the Daimyo's Mansion and completely change the situation on the battlefield.
There are not many soldiers and horses in Lu Shinang, most of them are infantry, and it is very likely that Guo Yaoshi will take the risk of attacking Lu Shinang, as long as Guo Yaoshi appears, the battle situation will change fundamentally.
In fact, the change in the battlefield is indeed as Li Jing guessed, after the appearance of Lu Shinang's army, but in a day, the news spread to Youzhou City, Guo Yaoshi's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly summoned Zhen Wuchen, Zhang Linghui, and Liu Shunren to discuss countermeasures, but he didn't expect to receive the news of Zhen Wuchen's illness, and he was angry and angry.
"I didn't expect the general to guess wrong, Li Jing is not attacking North China in four ways, but the army in five ways, this guy is really powerful! Fighting on both sides, could it be that his strength has reached such a huge point? Liu Shunren gasped, and there was a trace of regret in his heart.
"It's not that his strength is strong, but he took advantage of a surprise attack, whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or us, we didn't expect that Li Jing would attack us from the sea. The news from the Golden Wolf Guard made the general have a wrong judgment, and about 50,000 people from Lu Shisang roared over, landed at the mouth of the Haihe River, and directly attacked Youzhou, without any resistance along the way. It's just that we are defenseless, and we didn't expect Li Jing to have such a move. "Guo Yaoshi's face is gloomy, Youzhou City is very important, although there are also 50,000 troops, but more importantly, Wanyan Zonghan's grain and grass are all piled up in Youzhou City.
"How many days can the general's grain and grass last?" Zhang Linghui asked with some concern.
"Ten days is still okay, if you add the supply of the surrounding cities, there is no problem for half a month, but it won't work for a long time. Whether Lu Shinang's army attacked Youzhou or attacked the Daimyo's Mansion from behind, the general had to bear tremendous pressure. Pharmacist Guo shook his head. This is the most difficult time for him, and it is naturally no problem for his 50,000 victorious army to defend the city, but he can't help but consider the influence of Yan Zonghan, and Lu Shinang's tens of thousands of troops go south and join the battle of the Daimyo's Mansion, which can directly change the situation on the battlefield.
"Then it's just a fight." Liu Shunren sighed and said: "Although Li Jing's people have not arrived, this stroke of genius is even more powerful than his own coming, if you don't solve this Lu Shinang, Youzhou will shake, and this battle will not be able to be fought." ”
"Who is Lu Shinang? To be able to let Li Jing take charge alone, I'm afraid it's not easy, although the number of our soldiers and horses is quite equal, but there are still some soldiers and horses left. I don't know if they have cavalry or not, these are all things to consider, and this time I am going to lead the army myself. Who do you see left behind? Pharmacist Guo glanced at Liu Shunren and Zhang Linghui, he had no confidence in himself, so he said such a thing.
"Youzhou City is fine for the time being, since the five ministers are sick, it is better to let him stay in the headquarters to defend, although the number of enemies exceeds ours, but we still have 10,000 cavalry, presumably we can gain an advantage in the field." Zhang Linghui thought for a while and said. The way to win is 10,000 cavalry, and these 10,000 cavalry are in the hands of Guo Yaoshi.
"In this case, I'll wait to see the five ministers, let the five ministers stay behind, the three of us will lead the army of 40,000 to meet Lu Shisang for a while, and then let the Golden Wolf Guard monitor Youzhou City, this Youzhou City Li Jing once occupied, no one knows that there are secret guards here, you can't be careful." Pharmacist Guo suddenly made up his mind. Defending Youzhou City was not his fighting style, and he believed that his army would definitely be able to defeat Lu Shisang and help Wanyan Zonghan solve the threat in the rear.
"That's the only way, let the five ministers be careful, I think Li Jing must have a secret guard in Youzhou City. These secret guards are not simple, they can do things like spying on news and assassinating secretly. Liu Shunren agreed: "Youzhou is our foundation, related to the final direction of this war, once Youzhou is occupied by others, not only will we be homeless, but Dajin may only have to return to the Northeast." ”
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were heavy, and they were even more embarrassed, no one would have thought that Dajin, who seemed to be very powerful, would have been stabbed into the chest and abdomen with a sword today, and the situation was so critical.
