Chapter 152: Teasing Yang Xuangan
"General, Yang Xuangan has divided his troops." Early the next morning, as soon as Li Xin got up, he saw Su Dingfang rushing in with a nervous expression. Li Xin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went up to the arrow tower, and sure enough, he saw tens of thousands of soldiers and horses slowly driving out of Yang Xuangan's camp, endlessly, heading towards the north.
"It's going north." Li Xin frowned and said, "What are they going to the north for, to deal with Qu Tutong?" Li Xinmeng thought of a question, Yang Xuangan obviously found out that he was unfavorable to the recent situation, he wanted to do his best to open up the passage to Daxing, only by occupying Guanzhong, he could have a glimmer of life. But now around him, there is Fan Zigai in the back, Qu Tutong in the north and the Yuwenshu army in the back, Li Xin in front, if you want to enter Daxing, you must first defeat Li Xin, but at the same time as defeating yourself, Qu Tutong's 20,000 army will definitely pounce over, and the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers in Hedong is also extremely good.
"General, do you want to go out and intercept it?" Su Dingfang said with some concern. Without Qu Tutong's harassment and suppression, Yang Xuangan's tens of thousands of troops would form a strong suppression of Li Xin, although Li Xin's command was all elite soldiers, it was still very difficult to defeat Yang Xuangan.
"We don't have that many soldiers." Li Xin shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that only by letting Master Fan Zigai make a move, at least there are more than 10,000 people around him, although he can't attack Yang Xuangan, but it is still possible to block the opponent's partial division and take General Qu Tutong across the river." ”
Li Xin thought about it and walked down from the arrow tower, came to the big tent in the army, quickly wrote a letter, handed it to Su Dingfang and said: "You go to Luoyang in person, hand over the letter to Lord Fan, and let him act according to the plan." ”
"Yes." Su Dingfang took the letter and hurriedly retreated, and a moment later, outside the big tent, there was the sound of horses' hooves.
"General, I heard that Yang Xuangan has already divided his troops?" As soon as Su Dingfang left, he saw Du Ruhui walk in and said a little nervously.
"Well, I'm afraid he's in a hurry to open up the passage to Daxing, that's why it's like this. I have already asked Su Dingfang to meet King Yue and Master Fan Zigai, let them send troops to support Yang Xuangan, not to defeat the other party, that is, to drag the other party under Luoyang City, now time is very important to us, before entering Guanzhong, Yang Xuanganli is in a quick battle, after entering Guanzhong, he is going to waste time with us. Li Xin nodded and said.
"What the general said is very true." Du Ruhui also nodded and said, "Although Yang Xuangan has the support of the family, there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, his grain and grass. The general occupies Liyang Cang, which is equivalent to cutting off their grain and grass, and the grain and grass consumed by the nearly 100,000 army every day will be a huge number, and Yang Xuangan may not be able to support it. ”
"Does Keming have any plans?" Li Xin looked at Du Ruhui and said. Since Du Ruhui said so, it means that Du Ruhui may have a plan.
"Although the soldiers and horses in the general's hands are elite, but the general, Bishan is not the best place to block the attack, does the general want to spend the soldiers and horses he has worked hard to train here?" Du Ruhui said in a low voice: "General, the terrain of Hongnong is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are still enough soldiers, horses, grain and grass in that place, if the general is stationed in Hongnong, he will definitely be able to drag Yang Xuangan under Hongnong City." ”
"Having said that, how can we be sure that Yang Xuangan will definitely stay under Hongnong City?" Li Xin hesitated and said: "Although Yang Xuangan lacks grain and grass, he secretly has the support of the family, and it may not be impossible to support Tongguan, but Guanzhong. ”
"General, Yang Xuanting's corpse is in the hands of the general." Du Ruhui said in a low voice.
"It's a pity, it's a little cruel." Li Xin sighed and pondered, "However, I can't let the soldiers suffer heavy casualties because of this. Wait for a while, and then retreat to Hongnong when Yang Xuangan can't support it, relying on Hongnong's geographical location to block Yang Xuangan. ”
"Yang Xuangan is brave and unscrupulous, heroic and aggressive, although he is the lord of an army, but don't forget it, he inherited the title of Duke of Chu State, and is the head of the Yang family, even if Li Mi can persuade this person, I am afraid that the rest of the Yang family will not agree, those people will definitely ask Yang Xuangan to attack Hongnong." Du Ruhui said proudly.
"Go to Hongnong." Li Xin nodded, he didn't want to be able to defeat Yang Xuangan, as long as he held the other party. He turned to the soldiers outside and shouted, "Give me a drum." ”
Du Ruyan was stunned when he heard this, he quickly reacted, shook his head slightly, and felt a moment of silence for Yang Xuan in his heart, the war itself is like this, the means are all used, as long as the enemy can be defeated, the more insidious and treacherous means can be used by those generals. Although Li Xin doesn't like to use some methods, such deceitful methods are okay.
Yang Xuangan's battalion in the distance had just finished dividing his troops, and Yang Xuangan was thinking about whether to give Li Xin a look, eliminate Li Xin's living forces, and then attack Hongnong and take Guanzhong directly. Unexpectedly, before he attacked, the opponent's war drums sounded.
"Li Xin, you are really so bold, you think you have a little bravery, and you want to defeat my army of nearly 100,000?" Yang Xuan felt the sound of war drums on the opposite side, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"General." Li Mi was dissuading on the side, but he saw that Yang Xuangan had already held the long lance in his hand and led his own soldiers to rush out, and behind him, there were countless soldiers who also followed, roaring away, but they were ready to fight. Li Mi saw it clearly, and shook his head in his heart. In fact, he really wanted to tell Yang Xuangan, leave a part of the troops to block Li Xin, and lead a large team of men and horses directly into Guanzhong, seize Guanzhong, and then close Tongguan, no matter how powerful Yang Guang is, he may not be able to share the world with Yang Guang equally. It's a pity that Yang Xuangan doesn't believe in himself.
When Li Mi also followed out of the camp, he found that there were no soldiers out of the camp on the opposite side, and there were many defensive equipment behind the fence. The sun shines brightly, and the cold light shines. On the battlefield in front of the camp, Yang Xuangan rode a high-headed horse and showed off his might. However, in Li Mi's view, this kind of bravado is like a monkey, which makes people look at jokes.
"Actually tricked by Li Xin?" Li Mi was also unhappy in his heart. However, he also sensed Li Xin's cunning. In order to win the war, unscrupulous means, such a person is undoubtedly difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect to meet one here. It's just that I don't know if this idea was thought by Li Xin himself or by the strategist, if it was the former, Yang Xuangan might really be bad.
