"Pseudo-Liang took Dai Siyuan as the northwest envoy, led a total of 20,000 Tianwei Tianwu troops, left Kaifeng a few days ago, and came to Huaizhou. Now, we are about to arrive in Zhengzhou, how should we deal with it, you can talk about it. ”

Li Congjing's voice fell, and the generals in the hall were slightly surprised at first, and then they each fell into deep thought.

Except for Jing Renzhong and Shi Congda, who were stationed in Yangba and Jian Shanzhai, all the generals of the Hundred Battles Army were there, Li Shaocheng pondered for a while, and took the lead in speaking, "The two armies of Tianwei and Tianwu belong to the six army systems of the puppet Liang court, and their combat effectiveness is strong. After a few major battles in the new calendar of our Hundred Battles Army, the soldiers have been tempered, and their combat strength is safe. However, the number of soldiers in the headquarters plus the temporary battalion is less than 5,000, and the number of soldiers is only 7,000 with the surrendered soldiers, which is a team that can be used in the frontal battlefield. As for the 5,000 new soldiers, they have not yet been trained, and their combat strength has not yet been achieved. ”

"From this point of view, we are at a disadvantage, and it will not work with it."

Speaking of this, Li Shaocheng fell into deep thought again, obviously the follow-up ideas had not yet taken shape.

According to the usual practice, after Li Shaocheng finished speaking, Meng Ping began to speak, he put his hand on his chin and said: "Since Dai Siyuan is a famous general, he must also know clearly what General Li Shaocheng said. If I were Dai Siyuan, I would definitely concentrate all my strength and go straight to Huaizhou, looking for an opportunity to fight with us. When necessary, they will forcibly attack the city, don't forget, there are still two or three thousand Heyang troops in Mengzhou, if they forcibly attack the city with such military strength, it is not that they are not sure to capture Huaizhou. ”

"General Meng is right." Meng San agreed with Meng Ping's idea, "You can't go head-to-head with them." ”

Meng Ping continued: "Besides, we are waiting for the new occupation of Huaizhou, and it is not easy to restore the cultivation of fields outside the city and complete the repair of residential houses in the city. All in all, I'm not in favor of sticking to Huaizhou. ”

"I don't approve of sticking to Huaizhou either!" Meng San said loudly, and looked at the other generals after speaking, "What do you think?" ”

Other generals have said that it is not a good policy to stick to Huaizhou.

"Guarding Huaizhou, it's not that you don't have to fight." Just when everyone's opinions were about to reach an agreement, someone stood up and made a different voice, and the generals looked at it, but it was Guo Wei.

"General Guo, what do you mean by that? Do you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head and dare not go out of the city to fight the Liang army in the field? Meng San Bull's eyes were dumbfounded.

Guo Wei smiled and said, "General Meng, don't worry, please allow me to finish my words." Saying that, he hugged his fists to everyone, looked at Li Congjing and said: "There are Yangba and Jianshanzhai in front of Huaizhou, and there are Zelu and Zelu in the back to help, not a lonely city." There will be an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible or not. ”

"General Guo, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Congjing motioned to him.

Guo Wei took a moment and said: "Dai Siyuan led the main force of the Liang army to come, and the soldiers were sharp, and he definitely wanted to take Huaizhou in one go." In this case, we can let go of Yangba and Jianshanzhai in vain, and only bury ambushes in their hidden places to let the Liang army in; Once the Liang army begins to attack Huaizhou, let Yangba and Jianshanzhai ambush soldiers cut off the back road of the Liang army, make it a situation of closing the door and fighting dogs, and at the same time ask Zelu to help. As long as Huaizhou can hold on for ten days and a half and wait to defeat the Liang army, then the three-way army will come out together, and it will be a miracle effect, and it will not be able to defeat the Liang army in one go! ”

At this point, Guo Wei looked around at everyone and said confidently: "In the final analysis, our army's strength is at a disadvantage, and it is still difficult to defend the city, where is there a chance to win in the field?" This method of warfare, no matter whether the imperial court has follow-up reinforcements or not, even if it is not victorious, it will not be defeated, and as long as we hold on for a long time, the Liang army will come from afar and cannot attack for a long time, and it will collapse without a fight! ”

Guo Wei's words were very reasonable, and immediately caused the generals to think deeply. Although Li Shaocheng and Meng Ping both believed that sticking to Huaizhou was not the best policy and would cause losses to Huaizhou's economy and civil affairs, from a military point of view, Guo Wei's words were undoubtedly without any problems, and even a good plan.

After thinking for a while, the generals began to talk to each other, and now many generals are not sure what to think, it is a bit of a mess.

Seeing this, Guo Wei added: "The combat power of the Liang Army, Tianwei and Tianwu armies is not weaker than that of the Hundred Battles Army, and our army plus the new soldiers is only 12,000 people, only half of the opponent, and the field battle is almost impossible to win." With Dai Siyuan's strategy, it is extremely difficult to set up an ambush to attack the Liang army, and it is likely that stealing chickens will not lead to rice. ”

"General Guo is right."

"Reasonable and reasonable, it is indeed a righteous word."

"Let Zelu come to help, and there is Huaizhou City Defense to defend it, it should be a ...... that can win"

More and more generals began to agree with Guo Wei's views.

Seeing this, Li Congjing and Mo Li glanced at each other, Li Congjing didn't say anything, Mo Li raised his eyebrows.

Li Congjing stood up, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said: "General Guo's strategy is indeed an old saying, unless a person with a strategy in his belly, he can't see the situation of the enemy and us like this, and come up with such a stable battle plan. ”

first encouraged Guo Wei, and then changed the conversation, Li Congjing said again: "However, there is no better way to do this?" ”

The generals looked at each other, unable to come up with an idea for a while.

Meng Ping knew Li Congjing's thoughts, he looked at Mo Li, and sure enough, he saw Mo Li shaking a folding fan and walking out with a smile.

Mo Li said slowly: "General Guo can have such insight and strategy, I admire it." However, General Guo still missed something in the end. ”

Guo Wei was stunned and puzzled: "What did I see wrong?" ”

"The Hundred Battles Army has always taken the initiative to attack, and will never sit back and wait for the opponent to hit the door." Mo Li smiled lightly, pointed the picture of a river and mountain on the folding fan at Guo Wei, and swayed slightly, "The Hundred Battles Army fights, although it also contacts allies, but it will never put too much hope on others when the allies have not yet made a move." The Hundred Battles Army is more accustomed to preparing to win with its own strength before the situation is clear. ”

Guo Wei was a little surprised at first, and then his face turned dark, and he almost scolded: You scholar said it well, there is a kind of plan you come up with!

Mo Li didn't seem to see Guo Wei's expression, and continued to act on his own: "And what General Guo hasn't seen clearly is that the battle of a hundred battles has always been about maximizing interests. Single-click defeat of the Liang Army, this ambition is a little small. ”

"I'd like to hear advice!" Guo Wei has long seen Mo Li not very pleasing to the eye, this guy is obviously a scholar, and he looks unfathomable every day, really thinking that he is Kong Ming? It's annoying and annoying! But this guy seems to have a very close relationship with Li Congjing, so he doesn't have much to say on weekdays. At this time, seeing that Mo Li is so big, I want to hear if Mo Li has real talent and learning.

Mo Li smiled slightly, didn't go to compare with Guo Wei, turned around and bowed to Li Congjing in a good manner, and said: "Military marshal, the lower official has a set of serial plans, which can not only enable the Hundred Battles Army to defeat the Liang Army, but also allow the military marshal to take Mengzhou into his pocket, I wonder if the military marshal is interested in listening to it?" ”

Li Congjing raised his hand to help Mo Li, and said: "I would like to hear the details." ”

After doing enough foreshadowing and successfully arousing the interest of the generals, Mo Li said indifferently: "Xiaguan's serial plan is called the Ten Hands of the Ghost Axe, and this first hand is also called the head drink." ”

A black line appeared on Li Congjing's forehead, and he slandered in his heart: Is it necessary for you to make such a fucking name? The face had to cooperate, "What is the first to drink?" ”

"To the south of Huaimeng, on the bank of the Yellow River, there is a Liang Army Water Village, but is it?" Mo Li asked.

"That's true. The Yellow River is dangerous, our dynasty controls the eastern section of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the war is frequent, the competition is fierce, the city is built by virtue, and the pseudo-Liang controls the western section of the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Li Congjing nodded.

Mo Li asked again: "Dare to ask the military commander, who controls this water village now?" ”

"Although our army conquers the entire territory of Huaizhou, the water village has not yet had time to be captured." Li Congjing replied that it was not that he didn't want to capture Shuizhai, firstly, because there was no need for war for the time being, and secondly, because he did not have a naval army, it was useless to attack.

Mo Li asked again: "The 20,000 troops of the Pseudo-Liang went north, whether it was going straight to Huaizhou, or going through Mengzhou to Huaizhou, they had to pass through Shuizhai and cross the Yellow River by boat, right?" ”

Li Congjing said: "That's true. ”

Mo Li's smile gradually showed a look of pride, and he said slowly: "The Liang army is coming to attack us, all the way for thousands of miles, how can we let him walk through this thousands of miles of land safely without saying anything?" If not, won't we lose our hostile status to you and me? ”

Since Mo Li asked about the water village, Li Congjing thought of his plan, and then muttered: "But the Liang army is much closer to the Yellow River Water Village than Huaizhou is from the Yellow River Water Village, and it may not be too late for the army to go." ”

"So you can't send a large army, and there's no need to send a big army." Mo Li folded the fan, and his face was grim, "The military commander only needs to send an elite division to do this." ”

Hearing this, Meng Ping, who had been with Li Congjing since he was a child, already knew what the two were doing, so he immediately came out to clasp his fists and proudly asked for his life: "Military marshal, the last general is willing to lead the army to go!" ”

Meng San was blind, and he hadn't figured out what these people were talking about, but when he saw that Meng Ping was already taking the lead, he didn't let him go out and said: "Military marshal, Meng San is willing to go!" ”

If you want to dare to fight and dare to fight, Meng San is definitely the first person in the Hundred Battles Army, but this does not mean that others are much worse, seeing Meng San competing for the first, Li Shaocheng, Wu Gou and others immediately disagreed, and asked for help: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Meng Ping turned his head and glanced at the three of them, his eyes were strange, as if to say, do you know what to do, you just grab it from me?

The generals in the army, the most skilled in this way, are indeed none other than Meng Ping. Li Congjing saw Meng Ping's request for help, and after a little silence, he said: "General Meng, this commander will transfer all five hundred gentlemen to you, and you will bring another commander, a total of 1,000 men and horses, each with two mounts, do you dare to guarantee the completion of the task?" ”

Meng Ping perked up and said, "I wish to make a military order!" ”

"Good!" Li Congjing picked up a token from Shuai and handed it to Meng Ping, with a solemn expression, "Attack and seize the Liang Army's water village, block the Liang Army from crossing the river, I hope you can live up to your mission!" ”
