Chapter 181: A bait that can't be refused
I have to say that the enemy's plan is very perfect, but all this is based on the premise that Li Zhen cannot put down the rebellion of the people in a short time.
Can Li Zhen put an end to the rebellion in a short time?
Theoretically, of course, it is possible, as long as he makes up his mind to transfer back the troops stationed in Nanyang or Tianzhu, it doesn't take too much, only 100,000 people, and he can sweep the entire Lingnan.
But if Li Zhen really does this, he will really fall into the trap of the other party - because whether Li Zhen transfers troops from Nanyang or Tianzhu, it will inevitably affect the local situation.
If Li Zhen transferred people from Nanyang, then the natives of Nanyang, who had been captured by the slave team and hid in Tibet all day long, and had long been full of grievances, if they didn't take the opportunity to do something, they would kill Li Zhen who didn't believe it,—— there were only 200,000 troops in the entire Nanyang, and the original strength was already insufficient, and if another 100,000 were withdrawn, it would definitely be even more stretched. The natives of Nanyang, who have been greatly reduced, will definitely start a riot after Hou Junji returns to Lingnan, which is almost a certain thing.
The people of Nanyang can't be transferred, and Tianzhu can't do it even more.
If it is transferred from Tianzhu, it will be even better, the number of Datang's troops in Tianzhu is only a few hundred thousand, and the million-strong army in the face of the Southern Tianzhu Alliance itself is seriously insufficient in quantity, if Li Zhen transfers even 100,000 people at this time, it will also affect the morale of the Datang army - in fact, it has already had an impact, because less than three days after the rebellion, the Datang military camp has already received the news of a fire in the backyard, and the entire military camp is in chaos.
If Li Zhenqiang hadn't ordered them not to return to help, I was afraid that they would really send someone back to help Lingnan at this time.
Yes, it was Li Zhen who took the initiative not to let them return to Lingnan, not only did not transfer troops, but also refused his support.
The reason is very simple, because Li Zhen has already seen that the planner's external strength is in the middle, although the rebellion of the planer is a dead end in the eyes of others, but for Li Zhen, it is easy and can be broken with a wave.
The enemy's layout must have started before Li Zhen returned to Chang'an, then they would ignore one thing - the tens of thousands of boy troops hidden in the Qinling Mountains near Chang'an, let alone Li Zhen would bring them back to Lingnan - no one could stop the charge of the 70,000 boy army, except for the gods.
You must know that this group of people doesn't even know about their existence even if they have a powerful intelligence network like Chengjian Creek, let alone this group of clowns.
Therefore, before they laid out, they definitely did not expect the second batch of 40,000 boy soldiers, which was almost fatal to their plan.
It was precisely because they did not expect the second phase of the Boys' Army, so after they learned of the existence of this group of Boys' Army from Locke, they hurriedly made a plan to seize the ships, and rented all the ships at a high price in Hangzhou at one time, giving Li Zhen the illusion that they were targeting this group of Boys.
Then Li Zhen hurriedly put down the equipment on the ship and returned to Lingnan with the people, which was considered to be a trick to break the other party.
However, what Li Zhen didn't expect was that although Locke and them were not in the same group, the target was Li Zhen herself. The difference is that the people behind the scenes want to slow down the march of the boys, while Locke wants the industrial equipment.
Although the goals are different, the end result is the same.
According to their plan, Li Zhen took the boy army back to Lingnan, and Locke raided the Hangzhou dock after a certain time, at this time, the boy army that encountered the attack would definitely send a distress signal, and Li Zhen, who got the news, would definitely send troops back to help. But Locke's movements are very fast, even if Li Zhen puts on his wings, when he returns to the Hangzhou dock, he will definitely go to the empty building, and the angry Li Zhen will either hunt down the murderer on a large scale, or he will force down the fire in his heart, return to Lingnan, and find a decisive battle with a fire.
But no matter which one Li Zhen chooses, the time he spent on this journey is enough for the people behind the scenes to find a way out - that is, a way out, because they know that there are 30,000 in the first phase and 40,000 in the second phase, a total of 70,000 young soldiers, not to mention Dongjiao, no one in this world can stop their charge, even if they are facing the brainwashed army of the Great Eater.
What's more, Dongjiao's army adds up to only 100,000 people, and they are all fast, how can they stop so many young troops - you must know that last year's 400,000 Zhenla army was beaten down by 30,000 young soldiers, and they don't think that 100,000 Zhenla troops can beat 400,000 Zhenla army.
Therefore, it is definitely not possible to resist hard, and if you want to survive, there is only one way to run.
But what they didn't expect was that Li Zhen actually thought of this layer of joints halfway and sent reinforcements back in advance.
This is also to blame for their lack of intelligence, and they did not notice the traces of reinforcements - although it is impossible for anyone to notice, compared with Li Zhen's fleet of more than 300 ships, only a small fleet of three or five ships broke away, and it is impossible for anyone to notice.
Besides, the sea is vast and uninhabited, and it can be seen at a glance that it is more than ten miles, and even if the enemy is bold, he does not dare to approach to monitor it, isn't that looking for death?
So now Li Zhen is not afraid of people at all, the only thing he is worried about now is that the mastermind behind the scenes runs away - although he has roughly understood the identity of the other party, but if there is no tangible evidence, those countries will not admit it, then Li Zhen will not find a reasonable excuse to go to war.
Besides, although these people can't bring too much threat to Datang, but just like now, they are jumping around inside Datang, like a swarm of flies, biting people but disgusting people, and they can also infect diseases.
But whether they can be captured alive this time, Li Zhen really doesn't know, in case they are forced at the last moment, desperate for the gecko to cut off its tail, such a small target, hiding in the 100,000 mountains, wanting to capture them alive again, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Unless......
Li Zhen can come up with a bait that they can't refuse......
Soon, this bait Li Zhen found himself, and that was himself, if he used himself as bait to lure those people into the bait...... Maybe you can really fish them out.
Of course, it is also possible that they resist the temptation not to bite the bait, and there is no way to do it.
But anyway, you have to give it a try, what if it succeeds?
What's more, in Li Zhen's view, the chance of success is still very high, because their goal is themselves, as long as they die, Datang will definitely fall into the situation of seizing the heirs in the future, and when the time comes, where will Datang, who is born on its own, have the ability to fight in all directions?
If there are more people stirring up trouble in it, maybe Li Chengqian and others may still fight for a war, and then Datang will really be over.
No one can refuse such a temptation.
