Chapter 52 Liu Yi leads the troops
The news of Wei Zeng's attack on Guanxi has spread throughout Guanxi, and Liu Yi, who is in Tianguan City, is naturally no exception.
When Feng Liansheng heard the news of Wei Zeng's arrival, his face couldn't hide his joy, and the anticipation of the past few days finally showed signs, and Feng Liansheng cried and laughed.
"You don't have to be so happy. You'll see him, and I'll make arrangements for you to see him again. Liu Yi said with a gloomy face.
"You're finally willing to let me go? If you'll let me go, I'll be grateful. I will definitely persuade Brother Wei not to kill you. It's time for all these years of grievances to come to an end. If you can figure it out, that's great. Feng Liansheng said.
"This time, I will personally lead the troops to meet Wei Zeng. When the time comes, I'll bring his body over, and you'll be able to see him one last time. When the time comes, you will stop thinking about it, and you will live here in peace. Liu Yi chuckled and said.
"You're still so stubborn. I won't say more. You can't kill Brother Wei, Brother Wei will definitely take me away. When Brother Wei comes, you won't be able to live, and you will find it yourself. Feng Liansheng put away his expectant gaze, and after speaking, he stopped speaking, and only embroidered things by himself.
"I originally planned to wipe out the Guanxi Military Government and then lead the troops to kill Wei Zeng. He didn't open his eyes and ran over on his own, and I saved me some trouble. You've been embroidering this kind of thing again, and it's been almost three years, and you've been finished. Recognize the reality, you belong only to me. Liu Yi saw that Feng Liansheng was embroidering some flowers and plants again, mixed with some wistful poems, snatched them and tore them apart.
Feng Liansheng glanced at Liu Yi resentfully, then lowered his head and closed his eyes and said nothing.
Liu Yi saw that Feng Liansheng no longer cared about himself, and he didn't want to be bored, so he left the house and led the troops to meet Wei Zeng.
Regarding the matter of Liu Yi personally leading the troops, because Liu Yi was resolute, several elders were not easy to object. But in order not to have problems, several elders decided that they must arrange reliable people to be by Liu Yi's side, and when Liu Yi encounters problems, they can provide some advice.
The Death Sect is the most capable of fighting than Fang Dayou, this time Liu Yi led the troops, and Fang Dayou was arranged by Liu Yi's side. Although Fang Dayou can't lead the army alone, he is also very happy to be able to do things by Liu Yi's side.
After receiving the news of Wei Zeng's troops, Fang Dayou had already sent a department to stop Wei Zeng, and he personally greeted Liu Yi's arrival in person.
"The Son is glorious and glorious, and it is also our honor that the Son can personally lead us to defeat the enemy." Fang Dayou greeted.
"Master Fang, please take up, you can fight well in the sect is also well-known. Facing Wei Zeng this time, there are many places that will trouble you. Your Law Enforcement Elder is only an agent now, but I can guarantee that as long as you can capture Wei Zeng, you will immediately become the youngest elder of the sect. Liu Yi said.
"To have the appreciation of the Holy Son, our great friend is grateful. It is my duty to work for the sect, and it is my life's desire to make the Son shine in all directions. Fang Dayou said excitedly.
"Alright, let's go to the camp first. I don't know what the party is doing, can I have countermeasures to deal with the enemy? Liu Yi stepped into the camp, and then turned back and asked.
"Holy Son, please sit down, I also have some shallow opinions on the enemy's strategy, so I will tell the Holy Son." Fang Dayou asked Liu Yi to sit in his seat, he just stood around, and then said: "Yanbei and Guanxi are far apart, Wei Zeng's labor expedition this time, logistics and supplies will definitely not be able to keep up." Although he has conquered many places now, the grain and grass in those places cannot last long. As long as we can prevent him from taking some big cities, within three months he will surely retreat. ”
"But I don't want him to retreat, I must kill him this time." Liu Yi made a color.
"I want to kill him, and I will kill him as the Son wills." Just now I just analyzed the situation, not our operational strategy. The Son is at ease, and listens to me. Fang Dayou saw that Liu Yi was displeased, and hurriedly said.
"If there is any way to eliminate Wei Zeng, just say it, I will think about it. As long as you can kill Wei Zeng, I will take credit for you. Liu Yi replied.
"The enemy has recently conquered a pass into the heart of Kansai, and there is a large castle right in front of it. The enemy, in order to solve the supply problem, will definitely attack there. I've ordered all the men to go to the rescue. The enemy is alone, and as long as they can cut off their retreat, it will inevitably make their army dismayed. When their food and grass are exhausted, it is also easy to defeat them and capture Wei Zeng. Fang Dayou said.
"You mean to say that you have to send people to hold them back, and on the other hand, you have to cut off their back roads, but isn't that too troublesome? We have an army of more than 100,000 people, can't we defeat them head-on? Liu Yi was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, he wanted to kill Wei Zeng immediately, such a complicated plan would definitely take a lot of time, Liu Yi couldn't wait.
"The Holy Son wants to capture Wei Zeng, this is the best way. If you just defeat Wei Zeng, you really don't have to be so troublesome. If we only defeat Wei Zeng, the best strategy is to hold on to the city, and when they run out of food and grass and are ready to retreat, we will pursue them. The middle strategy is to concentrate forces and kill them on the frontal battlefield, and they will naturally retreat if they can't bear the losses. As for the next policy, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it, it really can't be put on the table. Fang Dayou said.
"I'm determined to kill Wei Zeng this time, and I can't give him a chance to escape. You're going to go into detail, and I want to know how much time it takes. Liu Yi thought about it, after all, Wei Zeng had 30,000 horses, and it was indeed not difficult to escape. Defeating Wei Zeng was not Liu Yi's goal, it was Liu Yi's wish to capture Wei Zeng, so Liu Yi decided that even if it took some time, he couldn't let Wei Zeng go.
"Cast a wide net to catch a big fish. Unfold the encirclement, and then send capable generals to defend the main road, and it will be difficult for Wei Zeng to fly with his wings. We have more than 100,000 people, and we can send one to delay Wei Zeng on the frontal battlefield. In addition, he sent heavy troops to the north to cut off Wei Zeng's plan to escape from Mobei. The other way defended the east and prevented Wei Zeng from escaping to Anyun. When the encirclement is completed, whether to capture or kill depends on the will of the Holy Son. Fang Dayou said.
"That's a good idea, but I ask you, how long will it take to complete these arrangements?" Liu Yi asked.
"It's a month at a time, it's not more than a month." Fang Dayou replied.
"Okay, I've been waiting for a few years, but I can't wait for a few months. Just do as you say, as long as you can kill Wei Zeng in the end, no matter how long it takes, I will give you the first credit. Liu Yi said.
"Thank you Son for the promotion. But we have another problem now, if we don't pay attention to it, something will happen in the future. Fang Dayou reminded.
"You mean, the Kansai Army of Hejuku Castle? They still have a certain amount of strength now, and it will be a big trouble if we take advantage of the decisive battle with Wei Zeng. Liu Yi pondered.
"The Son sees it. Originally, we planned to wait until the unification of Kansai before seeking the world, because of the sudden arrival of Wei Zeng, the decisive battle of Hesu City could not be resolved. If the Kansai Army is given a chance, I am afraid that our efforts over the years will be in vain. Therefore, although Wei Zeng must be eliminated, there must be precautions in the direction of Hesu City. Fang Dayou said.
"I understand what you mean, I will support Elder Su. With Elder Su presiding over the direction of Hesu City, there will be no major problems within three months. After eliminating Wei Zeng's 30,000 men, the next step was to bring down the Kansai Military Government. Liu Yi decided.
"The Son sees clearly."
Under the command of Liu Yi, the army of death divided its troops and surrounded Wei Zeng's 30,000 elites. Liu Yiqin led a main force to face Wei Zeng head-on,
At the same time, after the army led by Wei Zeng crossed the pass, it attacked a large city in front of it, and took food on the spot along the way, barely supporting the army of 30,000. If this large city can be captured, the Yanbei Expeditionary Force can support it for a longer time.
In order to fight a decisive battle with the Kansai Military Government, the Death Sect mobilized more than 100,000 troops to the vicinity of Hesu City, and the main defense direction of the Death Sect was not in Mobei. At the city pass in the direction of Mobei, the defenders left behind were no more than a few hundred, and no more than a few thousand, so Wei Zeng was like a bamboo along the way.
The big city in front of Wei Zeng was only 3,000 defenders, and in the face of the attack of 30,000 elites in Yanbei, he quickly surrendered. Wei Zeng's expeditionary force was resupplied and appeared calm when facing the army of death that came to support.
"It's too late, but the enemy has taken the city. But it doesn't matter, it's just a few more days of war. Soldiers will go with me to destroy these enemies who dare to invade my religion. Liu Yi came to this mountain plain, looked at the Yanbei Expeditionary Force that was in front of the city, and gave the order to attack.
Seeing that Liu Yi personally led the troops, the Death Cultists all secretly made up their minds to behave well in front of the Death Saint, and after receiving the order to attack, they rushed towards the Yanbei Expeditionary Force.
Wei Zeng knew that with his 30,000 men, it would be very difficult to defeat the army of death, he just wanted to delay here for a while, as long as Yu Chaogui made some progress, he would leave calmly. If Yu Chaogui failed, Wei Zeng would also retreat, and he didn't want these 30,000 soldiers to die in Guanxi in vain.
Wei Zeng faced Liu Yi's army, and he was very tired at the end of the day. The night opened, the stars appeared in the sky, and Wei Zeng was lying on the desk, still thinking carefully about how to use troops in the future.
Sending troops to Kansai is lonely, and there is no one else who can share the responsibility of all this; Sending troops to Kansai is dangerous, and if you are not careful in the enemy's territory, you may make irreparable mistakes.
All this can only be borne by Wei Zeng alone, Wei Zeng really doubts, is this insistence really meaningful? If it doesn't work, what is this expedition?
"A clear conscience, I just ask for a clear conscience. What do you want to do so much? Take it one step at a time, and you can always go on. Wei Zeng's heart was very confused, and he left the house and went to the courtyard to take a deep breath.
"General Qiyu, the Kansai Military Government has sent an envoy, does the general want to meet him?" A soldier came to report it.
"An emissary from the Kansai Military Administration?" Wei Zeng couldn't think of why the Kansai Military Government would send an envoy, but he still decided to meet him and said, "You bring the envoy to the lobby, and I will go over immediately." ”
