Chapter 553: Xu Maogong VS Zhuge Can (5)
"Strategist, General Lu is back." Outside the house, a soldier's voice was heard.
"Oh? How did you come back so quickly? Let him in. ”
Zhuge Can got up and took a few steps forward.
I saw Lu Yang dressed in military uniform, and he came in the dust.
After entering the inner hall, Zhuge Can asked suspiciously: "General Lu, I just received good news, you have defeated 80,000 enemy troops in the southeast village, but why don't you continue to attack and come back?" ”
Lu Yang said with a bitter face: "Military division, the enemy army is afraid of my iron cavalry, shrinking in the camp and not coming out, I have challenged for two days in a row, and it is useless to exhaust all kinds of methods, so the first division has returned to the city, and I will also bring back the soldiers and horses from the southwest village, the southeast village, and Suiyang." A total of 40,000, and 50,000 prisoners of the Tang army. ”
"What, all withdrawn? Won't the enemy's 160,000 soldiers and horses be united? Zhuge Can exclaimed.
Lu Yang said: "On the second day of my withdrawal, they have captured Suiyang, and the first 160,000 soldiers are stationed in Suiyang. ”
"Rest assured, the defense of Suiyang City is not strong, wait for me to prepare enough siege equipment to break through the city!"
Zhuge Can was speechless, and said: "Even if you want to withdraw, you should also retreat to Suiyang, although Suiyang City is not strong, but it can contain the enemy army, so that they dare not set up a camp and merge, as long as we don't merge, we have a chance to divide and eat." ”
"Now they are all stationed in Suiyang, there are 160,000 people stationed there, how to attack?"
"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhuge Can laughed and said: "They must not have brought much food with them on this expedition, Suiyang City is a small county, and there is no food, there is a full army of 160,000, how long can they hold on?" ”
"Lu Yang."
"The end will be."
Zhuge Can said: "Hurry up and organize elite soldiers to besiege Suiyang, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”
"Strategist, how many people should the general bring to the end?"
Zhuge Can calculated and said, "Leave me 20,000 people to guard the city, and you can take the rest with you." ”
"Yes."
Suzhou originally had 70,000 garrisons, Wu Qing and Dong Le took 25,000 away, and now with the 40,000 people Lu Yang brought back, and the soldiers and horses in Lu Yang's hands, that is, 90,000! Leaving 20,000 to defend the city, that is, Lu Yang led 70,000 people to attack Suiyang.
"Wait..." Lu Yang turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhuge Cantu stopped him and said, "Remember, you don't have to siege the city, just besiege it, and surrendering the army without a fight is the best policy!" ”
"The last general commands."
"Hmm."
Zhuge Can waved his hand, and Lu Yang left.
At this time, in Cheng Biting Jin Daying, he also received the news that Lu Yang had returned to Suzhou. In this regard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Maogong even had a smile on his face.
The 160,000 army was combined into one and stationed in Suiyang, and the strength was stronger, so it was not so easy to be wiped out.
However, after thinking about it, Xu Maogong frowned, even more worried...
When everyone saw it, they were puzzled. Cheng Yanjin asked, "Mao Gong, isn't this a good thing?" Why are you so sad? ”
"You think, hundreds of thousands of troops, they only brought half a month's food, once they are besieged in Suiyang, how to get out? As I expected, Lu Yang's tens of thousands of iron horsemen will go back and continue to stare at Suiyang City. ”
Xu Maogong sighed and said, "Cheng Liang and Baolin... Still not out of danger. ”
Among the 160,000 troops, the leading generals were Cheng Liang and Wei Chi Baolin.
Cheng Biting Jin and the eldest grandson Wuji thought about it, and also came back to their senses, Cheng Biting Jin said: "Yes, the 160,000 army, how much food do they have to use a day, how long can they support it." We've got to figure out a way... ”
The current situation is really unfavorable for the Tang Army. The 160,000 army could not be summoned, and as soon as it left the city, it would be besieged by tens of thousands of iron cavalry, which I have to say was too aggrieved.
As for the big camp where Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong are located, there are not many soldiers and horses, let alone rescue, it is not easy to protect themselves.
"How many soldiers do we have now?"
Xu Maogong asked.
Cheng Yanjin calculated and said: "In the past few days, the soldiers who were scattered have returned to the camp one after another, and at noon, there are 22,000, of which 3,000 are wounded. ”
Xu Mao said fairly: "The only way now is to open up the road to Yangzhou, and then we can pick up Cheng Liang and Baolin." I sent a letter to Feng Shaoqing yesterday, asking him to transfer all the materials in Yangzhou to Henan, and at the same time, transfer all the soldiers in Yangzhou, leaving only 5,000 people to garrison. ”
"Huh? What the? Yangzhou's army was transferred away forty-five thousand? That... Isn't Yangzhou an empty city? The eldest grandson Wuji was taken aback, completely stunned.
Cheng Yanjin didn't understand what Xu Maogong meant.
Xu Mao said fairly: "Until now, we have fallen into a desperate situation, and only by retreating can we ensure that the hundreds of thousands of troops in the south of the Yangtze River can continue to protect the territory with soldiers in hand!" ”
"I transferred the soldiers and horses of Yangzhou away, just to lure the enemy, think about it, if Zhuge Can wants to capture Yangzhou, where will he mobilize the army?"
The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it for a while, and seemed to understand a little, he said: "The more than 20,000 people who will definitely mobilize to block the road, as well as the soldiers and horses who are about to attack Suiyang?" ”
Xu Maogong smiled and said: "Yes, at least more than 30,000 soldiers and horses must be required before he dares to attack Yangzhou, and his scattered troops will create an opportunity for us." ”
"Cheng Liang and Baolin have 160,000 people in their hands, after all, if the enemy cavalry is not much, they can completely resist, as long as they win the battle, they can come to meet us, and the more than 20,000 people in our north, if they are transferred again, their strength will decline, and we can also try to break the enemy."
"In short, no matter which side wins, as long as it wins, there will be life!"
"The military advisor is a good plan!" The eldest grandson Wuji praised.
Cheng Yanjin sighed: "Yangzhou is the Huainan Governance Office, and it is really distressing to throw it to the enemy like this." ”
"Without Yangzhou, I'm afraid that Huainan won't be able to hold it!"
"The general doesn't have to worry, as long as there are soldiers and horses, are you still worried that the city can't be taken back?" Xu Mao said fairly: "We can retreat to Henan first, recruit troops, and act depending on the opportunity." ”
"That's all there is to it." Cheng Yanjin sighed.
***********
The next day, at noon.
Zhuge Can received a report from the spies that Yangzhou mutinied, and forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses left Yangzhou and walked towards Henan Road.
Hearing this news, Zhuge Can was the first to be shocked, he secretly calculated to himself, excluding the 300,000 people taken away by Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong, Yangzhou has a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, doesn't that mean that Yangzhou at this moment is an empty city? In other words, the number of troops is less than 10,000.
This is a great opportunity, if you can win Yangzhou, then you can go straight into Huainan and capture Huainan!
I have to say that at this moment, he was tempted...
But thinking that he didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, Lu Yang's 70,000, Wu Qing's and Dong Le's 23,000, and Suzhou's 20,000, a total of 110,000.
The 20,000 soldiers in Suzhou City must not move, and once they are transferred and taken advantage of by the enemy, they will suffer heavy losses.
And Wu Qing, Dong Le, and Lu Yang have some soldiers and horses in their hands, but if they are transferred, they will reduce their strength to confront the enemy, and once they are besieged by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He thought about it and made a difficult decision...
Until noon the next day, he finally couldn't resist this temptation and wanted to eat the big fat meat in Yangzhou, so he sent a letter to Wang Qing, Dong Le, and Lu Yang respectively.
