Chapter 404: Divide the troops and horses to fight the Song army again
When Dai Zong reported the news to Shi Wengong in a unified manner, Shi Wengong said solemnly: "At present, this imperial court alliance is the first difficulty after the establishment of my Great Liang Empire, and it is also a countless credit, whether we can completely overthrow the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts and lay a new world for the people depends on the results of our next duel with this imperial court alliance." ”
Hearing Shi Wengong's words, Xu Guanzhong, Wen Huanzhang, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Lu Junyi and other civil and military officers all became nervous and serious. Afterwards, Nalu Zhishen said, "King, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and go to break the enemy!" ”
"The king, the last general also invites the battle to be the vanguard, first block the enemy outside the city, and ask the king for permission!"
After Lu Zhishen opened his mouth, then Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Yue Fei, Gao Zhong and other generals of the unified army also followed and asked for their lives, not to be left behind.
Seeing that all the generals were so active, Shi Wengong felt a little relieved, and then, he ordered Lu Junyi to be the generalissimo of the campaign, Wen Huanzhang, and Gongsun Sheng to be the military advisor. Led Dong Ping, Qin Ming, and Wang Jin to the three unified armies and their subordinate soldiers, formed a large army to resist the enemy, marched out of the Daimyo's Mansion to block the enemy in the field, and was responsible for fighting against the Song Dynasty coalition army.
At the same time, he also ordered Guan Sheng to be the deputy marshal of the expedition and Zhu Wu to be the deputy military division. On the other hand, they responded to the strength of Lu Junyi's main army, coordinated operations, and fought against the imperial court coalition army.
At the same time, Shi Wengong ordered the heavily armored iron cavalry to be temporarily dispatched under the command of Deputy Marshal Guan Sheng, and the Serial Horse Army to be under the command of Generalissimo Lu Junyi.
Subsequently, Shi Wengong ordered Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen to lead the Fenwei Army and the Deception Army under their command to disperse their actions and capture other state capitals of the Song Dynasty to distract the attention of the imperial court coalition army.
And Shi Wengong's deeper meaning is that he doesn't want to be taken advantage of by the newly rising Tian Hu to take advantage of this great opportunity, after all, the world will be ruled by himself in the future, and at this time, it will be more secure to control the city as much as possible in his own hands.
After assigning these things to the generals, after Shi Wengong retired from the court, all the generals all ordered their troops and horses, marched out of the city to set up camp, and waited for the arrival of the imperial court alliance led by Li Gang.
After Lu Junyi and Guan Sheng led the army out of the Daimyo's Mansion respectively, and after arriving outside the city, they all invariably shifted their attention to the 80,000 forbidden army led by Cai You, who was stationed not far from the city.
Both of them thought that before the imperial coalition army arrived, it would be the most beneficial action for the next battle to cut off this obstructive force first.
The ideas of Lu Junyi and Guan Sheng were also supported by the three military advisors of Nawen Huanzhang, Gongsun Sheng, and Zhu Wu, and immediately, as soon as the two of them left the city, they were surrounded and marched towards the Song military camp fifty miles south of the city.
At this time, Cai You also learned that Emperor Qinzong had sent an army of more than 100,000 troops, led by Li Gang, to conquer the thieves and invade them, and asked him to lead the army to assist him in the battle.
After learning the news, Cai You, who had just felt frightened by the defeat, instantly lifted his spirits and waited for the arrival of Li Gang's army day and night, so that he could make meritorious deeds earlier.
Even, this Li Gang even listened to the words of his deputy Qin Hui, and sent people to the Daimyo's mansion to investigate the movements of the Liang army, so as to collect intelligence for Li Gang's rebellious army and strive to win another success.
Fortunately, Cai You listened to Qin Hui's proposal and sent people to investigate the movements of the Daimyo's Mansion's troops.
After hearing that the Liang army had more than 100,000 troops, and the soldiers came to encircle and suppress him in two ways, Cai You panicked and hurriedly found Qin Hui to discuss.
After hearing this, Qin Hui said, "My lord, this is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, do you think, if you wait for the army led by Li Gang to arrive, how can there be a place for us to wait for these 80,000 soldiers and horses, and how can you get merit again, my lord?" ”
"Therefore, according to the following opinion, the lord should take advantage of the fact that Li Gang has not yet arrived, lead the 80,000 forbidden army, select a weak place in the Liang army to attack, and strive to annihilate the enemy army in one go, and eliminate the thieves for my Great Song Dynasty, and take the first place!"
"At the same time, your Excellency should also report the movement of our army to Marshal Li Gang, and ask you to send reinforcements as soon as possible to delay the other Liang army, so as to delay enough time for us to annihilate the weak Liang army."
When Qin Hui put himself in Cai You's shoes and analyzed it, and said the best plan, Cai You's eyes lit up, and then he patted Qin Hui's shoulder with great satisfaction and said.
"Well, yes, Deputy Pioneer Qin, you are really resourceful, then according to what you said, we will no longer retreat, and we should fight with that Liang army for a while, and avenge my poor sister and brother-in-law!"
It turned out that since Emperor Naqinzong appointed Prime Minister Li Gang as the generalissimo of the rebellion and led the imperial court coalition army to attack the Daimyo Mansion Liang King Shi Wengong, he was renamed the previous reinforcement marshal Cai You as the vanguard of the rebellion, and his deputy Qin Hui naturally became the vanguard.
However, although what Qin Hui said was very much Cai You's meaning, he also vaguely felt that this Qin Hui had won the hearts of soldiers in the barracks during the time he was stationed here waiting for the arrival of the army.
In this regard, Cai You also has some resistance, and now Qin Hui has come up with such a clever plan, which makes Cai You sweat in the bottom of his heart, for fear that this Qin Hui will catch up with him in terms of merit, and even climb on his head.
Therefore, after Cai You understood the advantages of Qin Hui's plan, he appointed Qin Hui to lead the team to report the military situation to Li Gang, and asked for soldiers and horses from Marshal Li Gang to block the rescue forces of the Liang army on the other road for himself.
This Cai You is also very brainy, and he naturally knows that blocking the other Liang army is the most dangerous task, but he still let that Qin Hui go, and it is precisely with the help of the hands of the Liang army generals that he first eradicates this political party that may block his career in the future.
It's ridiculous that the Great Song Dynasty has now been full of smoke, losing countless cities one after another, and it looks like it is about to be changed, but the ministers under its rule still put their personal interests first, how can such a Great Song Dynasty turn around.
That Qin Hui is also a human spirit, how could he not guess Cai You's intentions when he heard that Cai You actually let himself go to report the military situation to Li Gang and invite troops to go to the battle.
However, Qin Hui also had his own plans, and after hearing Cai You's order, he immediately bowed to Cai You very respectfully, and then rushed towards Li Gang's army as Cai You said.
Looking at the back of Qin Hui leaving far away, Cai You secretly thought to himself in his heart, "Qin Hui, don't blame a certain ruthless, I can only blame you for being too sharp and not knowing how to hide, and you deserve to be too smart." ”
