Xu Da and Deng Qiang quickly drew up a specific battle plan and submitted it to the lord Liu Mang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Mang asked: "How do you consider the candidate for the commander of Lantian Raid?" ”

Deng Qiang replied: "My subordinates personally lead the troops. ”

Xu Da didn't speak, indicating that he and Deng Qiang had reached a consensus.

"Oh......" Liu Mang nodded lightly.

Attacking Lantian is the key to strategic adjustment. This is the heaviest task and the most risky, and the most effective commander must be appointed.

Deng Qiang is good at commanding troops, brave and brave, and is the proposer of this tactic, so he is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Liu Mang is also inclined to this.

However, Deng Qiang was the commander of the Tongguan Hongnong Army, and when he was sent to Lantian, he had to make adjustments to the arrangements for the generals in Tongguan.

Deputy Marshal Guo Kan was a suitable replacement. However, Guo Kan has been stationed in the Weishui area of Zheng County, defending the main force of the enemy army in the west and Li Dao in the north, so it is inconvenient to move.

In terms of military position and ability, Xu Da is enough to replace Deng Qiang. However, Xu Da had never been in charge of the Western Front Army, and he was not very familiar with the situation of the generals and teams of the Western Front, which was very disadvantageous.

Liu Mang looked at Xu Da, since he agreed with Deng Qiang's idea, he must have considered the candidate to succeed Deng Qiang. "Who do you think is a good fit?"

"Guo Ziyi can also!"

"Guo Ziyi?"

"Yes, yes. Although Guo Ziyi is young, he is old and serious, and he has been on the Western Front since he joined the army. and participated in the previous battle of Yongliang, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is a heavy responsibility. ”

Guo Ziyi is young and has little qualifications, Deng Qiang is afraid that Liu Mang doesn't know much about it, so he will introduce it in detail.

How could Deng Qiang know that Guo Ziyi was a talent summoned by Liu Mang, and Liu Mang's cognition of his ability far surpassed Deng Qiang.

In fact, Liu Mang also considered Guo Ziyi. It's just that I'm worried that his qualifications are too shallow and not recognized by the military. Since Deng Qiang took the initiative to recommend, Liu Mang had no worries and decided to appoint Guo Ziyi as the deputy commander of the Tongguan Hongnong Army, temporarily replacing Deng Qiang and sitting in Tongguan.

"Let's talk about the specific idea and timing of the attack on Lantian."

Deng Qiang said: "The team attacking Lantian is composed of three parts: the vanguard, the Chinese army and the reception. Under the command of the Chinese army, Ge Shuhan is responsible for responding. Preparations for assembly were completed within 10 days, and three days after the departure of the vanguard troops, the main force departed, and was expected to arrive at Lantian in mid-April. ”

"Well, what's the difficulty?"

"It is necessary for General Chang Yuchun to launch an attack on Lantian from the southeast in early April to attract and mobilize the enemy of Lantian."

"Yes." Liu Mang nodded in agreement.

"General Xu Shiji needs to suspend Feng Yi's action in Zuo."

Liu Mang also took this into account.

The purpose of attacking Lantian on two ways was to force Yang Guang to take the initiative to seek battle. If Zuo Fengyi and Li Dao were defeated prematurely and Chang'an lost its northern barrier, Yang Guang would inevitably be worried that he would not rush eastward, but would retreat in the area of Chang'an and wait for the Luoyang army to attack.

"Yes. I will order Mao Gong to suspend the attack, reduce the pressure on Zuo Fengyi's enemy, and let Yang Guang advance eastward with peace of mind. Have more questions? ”

"No, the subordinates will live up to the high expectations of the lord!" Deng Qiang was full of confidence.

"Good. I have a question, though. How do you think about the issue of food and grass supply? ”

Deng Qiang and Xu Da looked at each other and smiled, and said, "That's what we think......"

……

"Lord, Jingzhou secret report." Du Ruhui sent Pei Ju's secret letter.

A few years ago, Jiaozhou Shixie sent a letter asking for help, saying that Liu Yu of Yizhou provoked incidents one after another, intending to annex Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou is thousands of miles away, and the whip is beyond reach. Liu Mang sent Pei Ju as an envoy to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biao to exert pressure on Yizhou to relieve the urgency of Jiaozhou.

Pei Ju's secret letter reported that Liu Biao was terminally ill, and time was running out, and the power of Jingzhou was now controlled by the Jingbei family headed by the Cai family and the Kuai family. As long as Liu Biao dies of illness, he will support Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou.

Pei Ju is an outstanding diplomatic talent. After his persuasion, Jingzhou not only sent a letter to Liu Yu to persuade him, but also promised that if Liu Yu insisted on going his own way, Jingzhou would not let it go, and would send troops to help Jiaozhou.

Liu Mang's strategic focus is on Yongliang, and for Jingzhou, he just wants it to be safe and stable, and don't take the opportunity to make trouble. Liu Mang and all the staff did not expect that the situation in Jingzhou was unexpectedly good.

On the issue of Jiaozhou, Jingzhou has behaved so positively that its true purpose is difficult to figure out. Liu Mang and his staff analyzed that Cai's Kuai clan made such a statement in order to win Liu Mang and the imperial court's support for Liu Cong to take over the position of Jingzhou.

As long as it does not affect the overall situation of Yongliang, it can give some benefits to the Jingbei family.

Liu Mang replied to Pei Ju and ordered him to have more contact with the Jingbei real power family and try to win him over. can reveal some rumors, saying that Taiwei Liu Mang, respecting the choice of Jing Chu people, can be regarded as acquiescing to Liu Cong taking over.

Liu Mang sent a letter to Nanyang Gao Xi, ordering him to use the Nanyang family to establish more contacts with the Jingbei family, so as to lay the foundation for solving the Jingzhou problem in the future.

……

The land of Jing Chu is full of strange talents.

Cai Mao Kuailiang and others, who held the real power in Jingzhou, readily agreed to meddle in Jiaozhou, of course, they had their own purposes. It's just that they don't want to target Liu Mang, but to calculate Liu Qi in Jingnan!

Liu Qi was originally a sick man, as long as he died, the position of Jingzhou would rightfully belong to Liu Cong, the second son of the Jingbei family.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Qi arrived in Jingnan, his condition improved greatly.

Sick seedlings can not only wander around, but also sneak out with great results! The chaos in Jingnan will be gradually sorted out!

Liu Qi not only wanders around, but also hooks up everywhere! actually took several major families in Jingnan into wings!

The issue of Jingzhou's succession to the throne was originally uncontroversial. After Liu Qi walked around and hooked up for a while, there was suspense!

This, absolutely not!

Although Jingzhou is divided into north and south, Jingbei has always been the center of Jingzhou. The power of Jingzhou has always been in the hands of the Jingbei family. In the eyes of the Jingbei family, the Jingnan family is just a scumbag and barbaric nouveau riche!

In order to compete for power, there are often contradictions between the Jingbei families. However, these contradictions belong to the internal contradictions of the Jingbei family.

The Jingbei family can tolerate the rotation of power in Jingzhou among several major clans in Jingbei, but they will never allow the nouveau riche in Jingnan to get involved.

The Jingnan family, under the envelope of Liu Qi, has a great tendency to rise, and the Jingbei family cannot sit idly by.

In order to suppress Jingnan, Cai Mao and others racked their brains. Some people even proposed to directly use the simplest and rude method to raise troops in Jingnan!

However, this idea was vetoed by Cai Mao and others.

After all, Liu Biao is still there, and Liu Biao loves his eldest son Liu Qi very much. And Liu Qi acted cautiously, had no fault and no handle, and had the identity of the eldest son, if there was a civil war, it would be difficult for Jingbei to win the support of public opinion, and it would be difficult to win the support of the imperial court and Liu Mang.

What's more, there is still a mortal enemy in the east, Jiangdong Sun, once the Jingchu civil war starts, the Jiangdong Sun clan will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

At this time, Pei Ju came to Jingzhou, brought the emperor's will and a handwritten letter from Taiwei Liu Mang, and ordered Jingzhou to come forward to mediate the dispute between Yizhou and Jiaozhou.

Here's your chance!

Kuai Yue offered a plan and sent a letter to Liu Yu in Yizhou, condemning his unrighteous deeds in strong words.

Of course, Liu Yu will not sell the account, and will insist on going his own way and raising troops to hand over the state.

Cai Mao Kuaiyue, in the name of Liu Biao, ordered Liu Qi to reorganize his troops and horses in Jingnan, and be ready to march into Jiaozhou at any time to fight with Liu Yu and maintain the order of the Han Empire.

If Liu Qi refuses, he will resist the emperor's order and disobey his father's order. If you are not subordinate or filial, Liu Qi's reputation will be completely ruined!

If Liu Qi obeys the order, he will face Liu Yu, the southwest tiger wolf!

Under the pretense of Liu Yu's hands, Liu Qi was killed, the strength of the Jingnan family was weakened, and the problem of Jingzhou's position was solved!

Cai Mao Yue, threw the problem over, how did Liu Qi deal with it?
