After Yang Liang raised his troops, within half a month, he quickly swept most of the prefectures and counties around Taiyuan Prefecture, Daizhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Shengzhou to the north, and Hengzhou, Yizhou, Yingzhou, Xiangzhou, Xingzhou, Jizhou, etc. to the east, most of which were occupied by the Han army, adding up to enough twenty or thirty states, accounting for half of the land of the original Northern Qi, and gathering 300,000 troops.

On that day, Yang Liang and the generals, strategists analyzed the battle situation, formulated a strategy, when the division of troops, nearly 150,000 troops led by Pei Wen'an, starting from Taiyuan, mighty, strong soldiers and horses, all the way to the south, invincible in the early stage, are about to hit the Yellow River, the army is under the city of Puzhou, once Puzhou is taken, the north bank of the Yellow River, the territory west of the Taihang Mountain, almost all of them are shrouded by the power of the Han Dynasty.

But I never thought that the imperial court reacted in time and sent 100,000 elite soldiers, led by Yang Su, the king of Yue, with Luo Zhaoyun as the vanguard, after two battles and two victories, half of the 150,000 rebels were lost.

At this time, Yang Liang had personally followed the army south, left Taiyuan City, and arrived in Fenzhou City.

"Waste, 80,000 people were lost in the hands of the 20,000 vanguard soldiers of the imperial court, it's too waste." Yang Liang roared and scolded angrily, his joy and anger were in shape, he was still young, and the city government was not enough, so it was difficult to control his emotions steadily.

"The king of Han is angry, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers!" Xiao Maha dissuaded him and asked Yang Liang to calm down, so as not to affect the morale of the army and chill the hearts of the generals.

"Eighty thousand horses, just like this, can the lonely king be nothing?" Yang Liang's face was pale, purely angry.

There were only 300,000 horses in total, and the army that had expanded to the north and east was only more than 200,000 when it was discarded, and now the losses were too great, which made him a little breathless.

The strategist Wang Gong arched his hand and said: "Please calm down the King of Han, the defeat of the war may not determine the victory or defeat, this is just a setback in the south, not that there is no chance to turn defeat into victory!" ”

"Does Mr. Wang have a plan to solve this dilemma and break the forbidden army of the imperial court?" Yang Liang asked anxiously.

Wang Hao said: "The imperial court forbidden army has traveled a long distance, and the longer the grain and grass supply line, the more beneficial it is for us, and there are also opportunities to take advantage of. ”

Yang Liang was surprised: "What does Mr. mean, burn his grain?" ”

"Yes, but it can't be implemented at the moment, we must introduce the imperial army into the hinterland of Hedong, and then give an ambush!"

Yang Liang saw that Wang Yan was confident, his heart was itching, and he asked curiously: "How to introduce it?" ”

"Withdraw the army of Jinzhou, but take away the grain and grass of the nearby cities and towns, and wait for the imperial army to enter Jinzhou, unable to supply on the spot, and will definitely need long-distance supply of grain and grass in the rear, our army can leave some dead soldiers, ambush in the mountains, forests, valleys, and valleys, specializing in guerrillas, mainly to destroy the grain and grass roads of the Sui army, and they will have no food to burn, and the front line can only retreat!"

Xiao Maha said: "Although this plan is feasible, how to destroy the main force of the Sui army is a more important part, rather than forcing the Sui army to retreat. ”

Wang Hao smiled and said: "Yes, when our army retreats, you can set up more ambushes, while withdrawing, while ambushing, when the imperial army arrives in front of Jinzhou, bordering the land of Fenzhou, the lone army is deep, has entered the pocket of our army, generals, please see, this is Gongchangling, just at the junction of Fenzhou and Jinzhou, there are ancient river channels, there are also mountain passes, all can hide 10,000 military horses, all ways to attack and suppress, break the formation of the imperial army, our army will win." ”

Yang Liang has not really led the army, has never fought, used to be the commander of the three armies to attack Goguryeo, the Western Turks, all of them are nominal commanders, never really went to the front line of the battlefield, just in the rear command, the main responsibility is to supervise the army, master the military seal, etc., will not be the monarch's power, and the real command of the army is the deputy commander, general, etc., so his ability to make decisions in battle has not been tempered.

At this time, Yang Liang heard that Wang Fei's opinion was good, and he was a little moved, and some generals did not have a very good way, so after listening to the strategy of Wang Fei, who was very famous, they all echoed it.

"Well, that's it, whoever leads the army to fight the enemy is better, those people in front, the lonely king can't believe it." Yang Liang asked again.

Su Dangui was defeated, Ru Ru Tianbao died in battle, and the two generals were all defeated, and almost all the troops were wiped out, so that Yang Liang couldn't believe in the ability of the former army Pei Wen'an's strategy, and which generals and strategists couldn't believe it.

The most famous general around King Han is none other than Xiao Maha, but he is already seventy-three years old, and he is following Yang Liang's side, giving advice, and taking charge of the army on his behalf.

Heroes are not allowed to see white heads, Xiao Maha is really old, although his pride has not decreased, but he has experienced too many wars in Nanchen back then, and there are many dark diseases, it is good to be able to live until now without being paralyzed in bed, and now the flexibility of his hands is not as good as before, and his kung fu is not enough for the first three percent, and he can't move anymore.

Xiao Maha said: "The veteran recommends Zhao Zikai, this person is brave and strategic, and he is up to the task,"

The other generals also had no opinions, and with Xiao Maha's prestige, it was difficult for everyone to refute it.

Han King Yang Liang nodded and said, "General Zhao listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Forty-year-old Zhao Zikai got up and bowed his hand to the seal.

"King Gu named you the general of Pingnan, commanded 30,000 troops, went to Jinzhou, took over the military power of General Pei Wen'an, combined 100,000 troops, resisted the imperial army, and completed the battle strategy specified by Mr. Wang, can you be competent?"

"The last will do everything he can, and then die!" Zhao Zi replied cheerfully, full of the momentum of becoming a benevolent if he did not succeed.

Yang Liang smiled and nodded, and patted the case: "Whether you can defeat the imperial forbidden army, remove the obstacles to the south, and complete the hegemony of the lonely king depends on your battle." (To be continued.) )
