Chapter 433: Surprise Attack Unpreparedness
"I was born and died for him, he is my brother! That's how it treats me. In Liang Luoren's mansion, Liang Luoren was lying on the bed, his face was flushed, his eyes were full of anger, and beside him, the generals Zhang Duan and Xin Fang'er stood on the bed, with a trace of fear on their faces. Honghua was lost, not only Liang Luoren was taught a lesson, but Zhang Duan and Xin Fang'er were also eaten, and their official positions were demoted by three levels, and they also gathered in Liang Luoren's mansion at this time. Both of them had angry expressions on their faces, but they didn't dare to say it.
"General, be careful that the wall has ears!" Zhang Duan listened to the anger in Liang Luoren's mouth, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Even if he knows, it's a big deal for me to surrender Li Xin." Liang Luoren couldn't help but say loudly: "Is Honghua lost because of me?" Li Xin's army suddenly attacked, don't say it's me, even if he goes there himself, it's the same result. Damn, damn. ”
Zhang Duan and Xin Fang'er glanced at each other, lowered their heads and showed different colors on their faces, and finally said, "General, it's better not to say this kind of thing." Once the emperor knows what you said, I'm afraid he won't even have to be a brother. ”
"Yes! General, since we have become the courtiers of the Great Liang, how can we surrender easily, although Li Xin occupies Honghua, but we still have the three counties of Diaoyin, Yan'an and Shuofang, and now that the heavy snow is coming, Li Xin may not send troops. When the heavy snow clears tomorrow, the Turks will send troops, although Li Xin's soldiers and horses are very strong, but in the face of the Turks, Li Xin's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are not their opponents. Zhang Duan whispered: "We may not have a chance to win. ”
"yes!" Xin Fang'er also said in a low voice: "If we go to Li Xin's side, maybe Li Xin won't kill us, but if we don't have merit, we're just ordinary generals and soldiers." ”
Liang Luoren's face was stunned after hearing this, he glanced at the two henchmen, and said in a low voice: "I naturally know this, although Li Xin has the upper hand now, but what about the future?" If Li Xin doesn't die, it is our death period, hehe, Honghua is lost at this time. I'm going to lose my beams, but I'm going to make a big deal. ”
"Be careful, General." Zhang Duan still shook his head and said: "The current situation has not yet been revealed, there are some things that the general must not say, and His Majesty the Emperor has even beaten the general." If these words reach the ears of the emperor, it will be as simple as being beaten. ”
Liang Luoren's heart moved, shook his head and said, "You guys go back first!" You are right, now that the road is closed by heavy snow, Li Xin may not attack the two counties of Diaoyin and Yan'an. I'm afraid the real decisive battle will have to wait until next year, during this time, the two generals trained soldiers and horses to prepare for next year's battle, and it is not impossible to pay homage to the generals. ”
"Yes." Zhang Duan and Xin Fang'er glanced at each other, and then retreated.
Outside the mansion, Zhang Duan and Xin Fang'er had heavy faces, glanced around, and Zhang Duancai said in a low voice: "Brother Xin, the world has changed, and there are some things that we can't decide. Li Xinnai is a hero of the world. Now that he has used his troops, I'm afraid things won't be so simple. I'm afraid that Daliang is a little dangerous, now unless the Turks come, if the Turks don't come, the Tang King is afraid that he will take advantage of the winter to attack. ”
Xin Fang'er felt that Zhang Duan had changed his name, and didn't say anything, but said: "It's just that you and I have killed a lot of Great Sui soldiers, will King Tang spare us?" ”
"The two sides are fighting, each is its master, and Tang Wang is determined to be in the world. How can you care about this, as long as you and I are loyal to King Tang in the future, how can you wait for me? Xin Fang'er said disdainfully.
"Wait, wait!" Zhang Duan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The world is big. The heroes are competing for hegemony, no one knows who will be able to go to the end, if Li Xin marches in winter, forget it, if not, we can wait a little longer, after all, we are following the general. To take refuge in the Tang King is to betray the general. Let's wait! ”
"That's good." Xin Fang'er nodded, and the two sighed deeply, and then got on the war horse together and returned to their mansion.
In Honghua City, light snow is falling. The entire Honghua City was covered by white, but on the school ground, there were bursts of shouting and killing, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the four fields, and 20,000 soldiers were practicing seriously under the leadership of Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhihao and others. Li Xin's soldiers are strong and strong, and this is where they come from. No matter what time it was, Li Xin's soldiers and horses were in intense training.
Among the government offices, Li Xin, Du Ruhui, Duan Decao and Li Zhengbao all gathered in front of a map, and Li Xin was ready to go to Liangshi Capital when the heavy snow came.
"Let's not talk about Liang Shidu's Shuo Fang for the time being, but whether it is Diaoyin or Yan'an, it must be won within the year, and only in this way can Liang Shidu be completely weakened." Li Xin pointed on the map, Shuofang, Yan'an and Diaoyin three counties are each other's horns, Shuofang is outside the Great Wall, Diaoyin and Yan'an are within the Great Wall, Li Xin wants to capture Diaoyin or Yan'an on weekdays, Liang Shi will definitely lead the army to help, the three siege, Li Xin has few soldiers and horses, and the final victory is probably Liang Shidu, so Li Xin can launch an attack on the two counties at this time.
"Raise troops on a snowy day, Prime Minister, it's very difficult!" Duan Decao said with some concern: "In case there is a loss, it will be detrimental to next year's battle, Prime Minister, why not wait for a while, and wait until next year to send troops." ”
"It has to be so." Li Xin shook his head and said: "Wait until next spring, the Turks may come, and Li Shimin will not care that we did not attack Liang Shidu all winter, he is now fighting with Liu Wuzhou, besides, since you all think that I will not march in winter, the people of Liang Shidu will not know." This is the opportunity to give us the opportunity to attack them unprepared, this is the way of the art of war, what do you think? ”
"Prime Minister, with troops in winter, not to mention the difficulty of transporting grain and grass, it is also difficult to siege the city, the prime minister still has to think twice!" Duan Decao was still very worried and said. Although there is a saying in the military book that it is unprepared, anything can happen in the war, and Li Xinnai is the master of the three armies, and once something happens, Duan Decao and others will not be able to explain it to the DPRK.
"It's not that exaggerated." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Prepare 10,000 white cloaks, 200 flying claws, and 3,000 short spears for the Lone King. The lone king led 10,000 elite soldiers to Yan'an. Mr. and the old general Duan sat in Honghua, after the king captured Yan'an, the old general led the army to Yan'an to receive 5,000, of course, and then led the army to attack Diaoyin, it is best to quickly solve the soldiers and horses around Shuofang, and wait until next year, and then solve Shuofang Liang Shidu in one fell swoop. ”
"Prime Minister."
Everyone still needs to be persuaded again, but they were stopped by Li Xin, whether it is Du Ruhui or Duan Decao, Li Xin agrees with the views of the two, but Li Xin naturally has his reasons for doing this, it seems that the battle crisis is full of heavy snow, and the non-combat attrition of soldiers is very serious, but what are the soldiers under Li Xin's command, most of them are soldiers in the northwest, and the northwest is cold, and they are still very accustomed to this place in Yan'an, and there are not many so-called non-combat attrition; Second, Li Xin doesn't have extra time to wait, and Li Shimin will definitely not give himself too much time and opportunity.
"Mr. Du, go and prepare! The lone king believes that the lone soldier will overcome the difficulties and will definitely be able to help the lone son seize the two counties of Yan'an and Diaoyin in the shortest possible time, so you should be ready to accept it! Li Xin stopped everyone and said: "We can't retreat because of the weather, only by fighting in any bad world, and even defeating the enemy, can we become a real strong army." ”
"Yes." Everyone glanced at each other, and in desperation, they had to go down and prepare not to mention it.
In Honghua City, after all, it is a place where Li Yuan has worked hard to operate, and there are still many business travelers, and the things that Li Xin asked people to prepare were quickly prepared, and on the third day, Li Xin set off with 10,000 cavalry. Li Xin's soldiers, except for the color of the war horses, the rest of the soldiers were all snow-white, the whole body was wrapped in white clothes, and even on the helmets, they were padded with white cloth, and only two eyes, one nostril and one mouth were exposed, and four holes were exposed. The 10,000-strong army walked on the official road, a white expanse, looking at it from a distance, there was nothing to see at all, except for the horses' hooves trampling on the ground, splashing bursts of snowflakes.
"I guessed the prime minister's plan, look, Mr. Du, can you still see where the prime minister's soldiers and horses are?" At the head of the city, Duan Decao looked at the team in the distance and said to Du Ruhui with a smile.
"It's white, you can't see anything at all, we are like this, and so must the enemy." Du Ruhui nodded, shook his head and said: "It's just attacking the city, I'm afraid it's just a little bit less, the key is to rely on a surprise attack, but I heard that the Liang division has dock forts between the county towns, and if you want to attack Yan'an County directly, I'm afraid it's not that simple!" ”
Duan Decao also nodded, a large army of 10,000 people marching may not be able to hide from the enemy, and on a snowy day, as long as the enemy is prepared, I am afraid it will not be easy to march. Du Ruhui was still very opposed to this hasty attack. It's just that since Li Xin has made a decision, Du Ruhui is not easy to object.
"I'm afraid the prime minister is forced to do this! The world is fighting for hegemony, if you don't advance, you will retreat, I heard that Li Shimin and they are all seizing the time to attack Liu Wuzhou, and there are still people in the DPRK and China who are dragging behind the prime minister. Hey, the only thing we can do is probably to do what the prime minister should do in the rear, calm the people's hearts, prepare food and grass, and solve the worries of the prime minister! Du Ruhui looked at the white expanse in the distance, his heart was a little heavy, and there were some Xiao Se, who was also the master of an army, Li Yuan was hiding in the palace, and his subordinates naturally had countless people fighting for him and fighting for him, where was like Li Xin, who had to personally lead the army to go out.
