Chapter 669 is determined to win

As soon as Shan Xiongxin's words came out, the tent immediately fell silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan looked at each other and were speechless. Li Mi's face was even more gray, and his face was as heavy as water.

There is a way for a wise man to think a thousand times, and there will be a mistake. A fool thinks a thousand times, and he will get one.

Shen Luoyan, Xu Shiji, and Li Mina are all good at strategizing, and they are usually very conceited. Although Shan Xiongxin is a fierce general, he has a horse lance in one hand, and it is difficult to have an opponent on the battlefield. But when it comes to giving advice, it doesn't work.

But at this time, it was just a sentence from such a fierce general that made them all stunned. Shan Xiongxin is right, they are arranging troops here with wishful thinking, transferring troops, and setting up ambushes, as if Chen Kefu would really go straight to their net.

It can't be forgotten that Chen Kefu found out about their plan before he made the later deployment. But now, it was precisely because Fang Xuanzao escaped back that they learned about Chen Kefu's deployment. Now that Fang Xuanzao has been rescued, how can a person like Chen Kefu who is a famous general still act according to the previous plan.

After a long time, the countermeasures they discussed were all useless. At this moment, not only Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan were extremely disappointed, but even Li Mi also had a deep sense of frustration.

After a long time, Li Micai smiled self-deprecatingly, "The general is right, Chen Ke's reuse of troops has always been changeable. Now that Xuanzao is back, how can Chen Kefu carry out that plan again. In vain, he prides himself on Lianming, but he doesn't even understand such a clear thing. ”

"What now? If Chen Kefu really returns tomorrow, then how do we deal with it? Shan Xiongxin asked.

Li Mi was silent.

After a while, Li Yuan on the side said, "King Wei, whether Chen Kefu will use troops according to that plan or not, we have to guard against it." Take precautions early and be prepared. ”

Li Mi nodded, "What Tang Gong said is that Chen Kefu is fierce with his soldiers, and he will chase after him at every opportunity. As long as we show the slightest flaw, we will be caught by him. Although Chen Kefu may have noticed that the plan was leaked, we had to guard against it. However, we also have to make second-hand preparations, in case Chen Kefu cancels his previous plan, we also have to be prepared. ”

"King Wei, in my opinion, Kim Yong Cheng has 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, Yanshi has 50,000 troops, Baihua Valley has 50,000 troops, and Luokou Cangcheng has 50,000 troops, these arrangements are all appropriate. Whether he comes or not, we are more secure in this arrangement. What matters now is how we can keep Chen Kefu in the event that he returns directly. Shen Luoyan changed very quickly, and immediately had new ideas.

Everyone knows how powerful Chen Kefu is, and the strength of the Hebei court with Chen Kefu is also widely recognized. This time, Chen Kefu joined the Jinhui Alliance and successfully won over Wang Shichong. Although Wang Shichong is dead, for Chen Kefu, this is a great thing. If it weren't for Shen Luoyan's rescue of Li Yuan in the end, I am afraid that the Li family would have fallen under Chen Kefu's control.

If Chen Kefu could not be restrained, it would not take a year or two, and Li Mi believed that the Jianghuai army of the Wang family, which crisscrossed the north and south, and the Li family, which occupied an important position in Hedong, would fall into Chen Kefu's hands and be used by him, and gradually annexed by him. Now that the battle of Hebei is about to start, if Chen Ke is allowed to recover the Jianghuai Army and Hedong at this time, then who can stop the iron hooves of Hebei going south?

Li Mi has long seen these things very clearly, and now in the Central Plains, he has taken the initiative. As long as Chen Kefu's footsteps to the south can be stopped, then the Central Plains will definitely fall into his hands. But Hebei is too strong, although Li Mi decisively decided to send troops to Hebei to ally with Wei Dao'er, but he still doesn't have much confidence to win this battle.

Li Mi knew that his subordinates, although the Wei State claimed to have the most troops in the world, except for the hundreds of thousands of elites formed on the basis of Wagang, the rest of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were just those peasant armies that had been defeated in various places. These cottage bandits, peasant bandits, as few as three or five thousand, as many as fifty or sixty thousand, all came to him because they couldn't get along in various places. …,

On the surface, he is the leader of the world's righteous army and commands the world. But in fact, to put it bluntly, he is just leading a group of rabble. Such an army, if it loses a major war, is very likely to collapse the whole army, or even the entire force. There are too many such things, even if he occupies more counties, it is useless. Therefore, Li Mi has always sent those so-called allies to various counties, and most of the elite soldiers and horses who really stayed with him were believers.

And he knew very well that the Hebei Army was completely different from the Wei Army, and even if the Hebei Army was really defeated, it would not be a big deal for Chen Kefu. It was a real army, and even if all the soldiers and horses were wiped out all the way, it would only be a slight loss of vitality. If you want to truly defeat the Hebei Army, the only way to kill Chen Ke, the real leader of the Hebei Army, is to kill it. This is the only flaw in the Hebei Army and the Hebei Imperial Court today.

How difficult is it to kill Chen Kefu? But now there is an opportunity, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Li Mi didn't want to miss it, and she never wanted to miss it. This is the best way for him to defeat Chen Kefu and defeat Hebei. After this village, there is no next store.

In any case, Li Mi also wanted to keep Chen Kefu. Even if it is a big price, as long as he can kill Chen Kefu, he feels that everything is worth it.

"At all costs, this king is willing to exchange 200,000 troops for Chen Kefu's life." Li Mi's eyes were firm, and he coldly spat out his meaning from between his teeth.

Wang Bodang said loudly, "King Wei, according to the minister's opinion, don't think about it so troublesomely." In any case, if Chen Kefu wants to return to the east, he must go down by boat. He either went against the tide at Luoshuikou and attacked the Valley of Hundred Flowers. Either they return directly to the east, passing through the area of Tiger Prison and Jindi Pass. Then, we don't have to bother, just set up an ambush at the mouth of the Luoshui River, we don't believe it, and we can't destroy them. ”

"Luokou set up an ambush, where to transfer troops?"

Kim Yong, Yanshi, Baihuagu, and Luokoucang have each deployed 50,000 troops in the four places, and 200,000 soldiers and horses have been mobilized. Although Wei has a large number of soldiers, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses left in the Tiger Prison and 50,000 in Jindi Pass. If you want to transfer troops again, you can only transfer troops from the three nearest counties in the southeast of Xingyang, Yingchuan, and Xiangcheng. But now the time is urgent, if the troops are transferred from the three counties, and they have to be kept secret from Chen Kefu to find out, it will be very difficult to come.

"There are only 50,000 people in Jindi Pass, which is an important pass for us to guard against Li Jing in Ji County. If troops are transferred from Jindi Pass, then Jindi Pass will be empty, and it is very likely to be attacked by Li Jing. At that time, whether Li Jing attacked from Jijun or Shandong, it would be very dangerous. As soon as the golden embankment is lost, then the gate of Xingyang and the eastern capital will be opened. Shen Luoyan rubbed his forehead, "I think it's okay to transfer troops from the Tiger Prison Pass, there are 100,000 people in the Tiger Prison, and some soldiers and horses can be transferred." ”

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally Xu Shiji concluded that Kim Yong, Yanshi, Baihua Valley, and Jindi Pass each deployed 50,000 troops. Then 90,000 people were transferred from Hugao Pass, 30,000 people were transferred from Luokou Cang, and 120,000 people were assembled to set up an ambush in Luokou. 10,000 people were left behind in Tiger Prison Pass, and Luokou Cang was ambushed in Luokou because the army was in ambush, so only 20,000 people were left to defend. And urgently transferred the soldiers and horses of Xiangcheng and Yingchuan counties to increase the troops in Luoyang, and the soldiers and horses of Xingyang to increase the troops in Jindi Pass. It is necessary to leave all Chen Kefu's 50,000 soldiers and horses behind and kill Chen Kefu.

"Since it was decided to ambush Chen Kefu in Luokou, then the Hebei Navy Division battleship had to do a way to crack it as soon as possible. Many of these warships are five-story ships, and they are covered with various weapons, and these warships will definitely bring us great damage on the battlefield. "Shan Xiongxin is the commander of the army, and he thinks more about some practical things.

Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji glanced at each other and said in unison, "Fire attack." ”

Among Chen Kefu's warships, there were many three- and five-story building ships, which were generally designed to fight in the Yangtze River and inland lakes. Later, after improvement, it can be adapted to offshore navigation battles, and even ocean voyages. Although most of the boats brought by Chen Kefu this time were flat-bottomed boats, it was an incredible thing for such a big warship to sail to the Yellow River. …,

Although the Mengjin ferry they went to this time still belongs to the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The lower reaches of the Yellow River have been dredged for many years, the river is wide, the water flow is gentle, and the season is the month with the most water in the year, which is why Chen Kefu's sailors dare to sail into the Yellow River. Moreover, the sailor stayed for a month, and he was in a hurry to return to Hebei. If he waits for the flood season and the drought season, his sailor will not be able to think about it.

A large ship has the advantage of a large ship, which can transport more soldiers, and even load more equipment and weapons, which can ensure the safety of sailors. Such a warship, such as today, can be described as invincible. In a frontal battle on the water, there is simply no warship that can resist it. Moreover, if Chen Kefu landed for operations, the various weapons on the tall battleship could also be directly close to the shore and provide support from behind.

But on a river like the Yellow River, Chen Kefu's big warships were also more troublesome to sail, and they didn't dare to go too fast. And the battleship is too big, and it is not very convenient to move, turn, etc. It can't be attacked head-on, but if it is attacked in the dark of night with a small boat, it is difficult to prevent.

"King Wei, there are still a lot of grain ships in Luokou Cangcheng now, and there are still many large and small ships in the water outside the Tiger Prison Pass, which were originally used by us when we were preparing to attack Hebei. We can now gather them together, fill their boats with flammable materials such as liuhuang and hay, and hide them all in secret places a few miles upstream of the mouth of the Yellow River. After Chen Kefu's fleet of sailors passed, he immediately ignited and attacked along the river, and his fleet would be broken. Xu Shiji made a plan.

Shen Luoyan added, "In addition, we also need to sink large boats carrying boulders and other objects in the river downstream of Luokou and at the mouth of Luoshui, blocking the river. Prevent his sailors' ships from escaping eastward and against the water into Luoshui. In this way, if there are fireships attacking along the river in the upstream, and there are shipwrecks and boulders blocking its way in the downstream and Luoshui tributaries, then its sailors can break it. In order to be safe, it is best for us to prepare a group of ships, select more than 10,000 soldiers of good water, and let them hide on the north bank of the Yellow River opposite Luokou. In order to prevent Chen Pojun's army from fleeing to the north bank when there is no way to escape. Although there is no road on the North Shore, we will not give him a chance. ”

"As soon as the Hebei Navy Division was broken, there was no way to go to the east, west, and north, and Chen Kefu had no choice but to flee to the south bank." Li Mi stroked his short beard under his chin, and his eyes were extremely bright, "The lone general personally led 100,000 elite soldiers to ambush on the south bank, and he will definitely wipe out Chen Kefu and kill them all." ”
