Chapter 19 The lips died and the teeth were cold to save Dingyang
The news that the imperial court ordered the dispatch of 100,000 troops to suppress the rebel armies in various places has spread, and the flames of war are about to ignite, and the people of the world will have no peace.
Anyang County is not the largest county in the Shen Dynasty, but it is not small, the land is fertile, and the people are relatively rich. Thanks to the efforts of Liu Bang and others, nearly 7,000 soldiers have been recruited.
In the county guard's mansion, Liu Bang is discussing with everyone, and now Anyang County has accumulated more than 7,000 soldiers, which has made its strength stronger, and people have been coming to vote in recent days.
Sitting at the top is none other than Liu Bang. "According to the report of the spies ahead, now the imperial court has ordered the encirclement and suppression of our rebels. Prime Minister Li Zhenshan ordered General Chu Dingde to personally lead an army of 100,000 to come. It's coming soon, and we're going to do it. I think that my Anyang County should be the first to raise the banner of rebellion, but I am afraid that the imperial army will come straight to us and make an example of chickens and monkeys. My Anyang County will definitely be destroyed. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel anxious, the court was menacing, and the arrival of 100,000 troops would destroy Anyang County in an instant. Yuwen Chengdu paced back and forth, and then asked, who is the general.
Liu Bang said, "The leader is the general of the Shen Dynasty, Chu Dingde, who has been in the army for many years and has rich combat experience. It is said that Chu Dingde has fought dozens of battles, and he must slaughter the city everywhere he goes. The name of Chu Dingde is terrifying. ”
Guo Jia said, "**Don't panic, I think that Chu Dingde's exploits are just in the shadow of the Shen Dynasty, Chu Dingde himself has no great talent, at best, he can only be regarded as a decent general, and he is addicted to killing, and there are no generals available under him." ”
Liu Bang didn't listen to Guo Jia, and said anxiously, "Don't panic, the imperial court has sent 100,000 troops to come, and 100,000 are the elite of the imperial court." There are only more than 7,000 of us, and we are all new soldiers, so what do we do to fight others. ”
Guo Jia said, "Now let's strengthen the city's defense. If the imperial army comes, we will resist with all our might, and in a few days, someone will come to the rescue. ”
Liu Bang said, "That's all it can be." I immediately repaired a few letters and sent them to the leaders of the rebels. "Le Kai, you immediately repair a few books in my name!" Liu Bang instructed Le Kai.
Le Kai immediately wrote a few letters, "My lord, how do you think it is written?" ”
Today, the court has no way, the Son of Heaven is immoral, in order to save the people from fire and water, I and the heroes raised the banner of righteousness, beheaded the county guard, occupied Anyang, the people heard it, danced and sang. However, when he heard that Li Zhenshan, a traitor of the imperial court, imprisoned the Son of Heaven for personal gain, he sent the emperor to crusade against our rebels. In order to exterminate our righteous generals, Chu Dingde heard that Chu Dingde would slaughter every city he visited. Have pity on the people of the world, and we will do our best to defend them. However, there are 100,000 people in the imperial court, and the soldiers are full of food, and we have the heart to defend the land under our feet, but we are afraid that we will not be able to defeat the thieves, and we hope that the heroes will think of the common people in the world. At that time, there will be exchanges and thieves. Otherwise, I am afraid that the auxiliary car will depend on each other, and the lips will be cold, so please be cautious about it. Anyang County, Liu Bang worshipped.
After Liu Bang heard this, he said to Liu Bang, "Okay, just do when the meaning is reached." You are quick to get these letters out. ”
Le Kai passed the letter out, and everyone was left discussing countermeasures. There really wasn't anything that could be done for a while. 100,000 elites vs. 7,000 recruits, there is hardly the slightest chance of victory. Liu Bang was obviously melancholy, and his face was afraid that it would be darker than coal, and he said angrily, "Li Zhenshan, if you fall into my hands, I will kill the dog's head, and there is a bullshit general Chu Dingde, Ding De, Ding De, as soon as he heard the name, he knew that Lu Dao had no virtue, and the traitor Li Zhenshan was the same as the raccoon dog." And what kind of bullshit joined the army Ang Lee"
Huang Xiu, who was thinking about it, suddenly shouted: "**My lord, what are you talking about, you said Li An, but that Shangshu Li An of the Shen Dynasty." ”
Liu Bang looked at Huang Xiu like this, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "It's him, who else is named Ang Lee. Those who aid and abuse our people deserve to die. ”
Huang Xiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him, "You quickly bring the map to me to see" and said to Liu Bang and the others, "Don't worry, everyone, things have taken a turn for the better." ”
Everyone looked at Huang Xiu in confusion, only to see Huang Xiu take the map, point to the map and say, "You see, the topography of our Anyang County is on the left side of the map, and there are several small counties such as Siyang County, Fengming County, Dawu County, and so on. If the court destroys us, it will surely sweep away these small counties. You are looking, after Lixing County is Dingyang County, and on the right side of Dingyang County are several small counties, and in the southwest of Dingyang County is Xuecheng. Now Xue Cheng's power is the biggest force of several rebels. ”
Liu Bang looked at Huang Xiu suspiciously, and said, "Let's talk about the point directly, I'm going to make you dizzy." ”
Huang Xiu said happily, "**My lord, do you think, if the imperial court takes our Anyang County, the small counties around us will definitely rely on Xue Cheng." Hug tightly. When the imperial court sweeps away our Anyang County and the surrounding small counties, then Xue Cheng will definitely grow during this time. ”
Feng Jin said, "He Xue Cheng is big, and that is also the power of Xue Cheng, so it is difficult for us to take refuge in them." ”
Huang Xiu said: "I said Feng Jin, don't worry, listen to me, that Chu Dingde led the troops in a decent manner, and there is no big plan, if it is him, he will definitely destroy my Anyang County first to deter the world." But this Ang Lee is different, I have heard a lot of stories about him. Ang Lee is familiar with military books, quite strategic, and good at surprise soldiers. If I were him Li An, I would definitely send a surprise soldier first, go into battle lightly, and go straight to the center of Dingyang City. The city must be the weakest, and its geographical location is particularly important, at the throat of the rebel armies from all walks of life. If the imperial court takes Dingyang County, it will cut off the convergence of the rebel armies in the eastern and western counties. When the follow-up army comes, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the rebels to resist. ”
After listening to Huang Xiu's words, Liu Bang pondered for a moment, "All this is just your speculation, if you really take Anyang County by Chu Dingde and prevent the communication between the east and the west, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the heavy troops of the imperial court in the future." But how do you know that he will send surprise soldiers to raid him? And not the army of the Overwhelming? ”
Huang Xiu said, "The world's strength is constantly emerging, if he is overwhelmed by a large army, firstly, it will be a wasted time, and secondly, the righteous armies from all over the country will continue to grow, and then we will be in Anyang County and Xuecheng to cooperate sincerely." His army of 100,000 is afraid and hateful! He only has three choices, first hit my Anyang County or Xue Cheng, and then slowly Tuzhi, or lead a surprise army to raid Dingyang County, straight to the throat! ”
Liu Bang thought about it and asked Guo Jia what he thought.
Guo Jia said, "Huang Xiu's analysis is very reasonable, taking down Dingyang, it will be difficult for our various righteous armies to communicate with each other. If it is Chu Dingde, he will definitely attack my Anyang County first, but out of Li An, I am afraid that the strange soldiers have already hit the road. Within 10 days, it will be there."
Guo Jia said again, "** My lord, you must now lead the troops to rescue Dingyang County, we can arrive before the strange soldiers first, and then set up an ambush." He will be told that there will be no return."
Liu Bang thought about it and said, "In case Chu Dingde directly takes my Anyang County, my Anyang County is empty, Anyang County, wouldn't it be handed over?" ”
Huang Xiu said, "**My lord, with my understanding of Ang Lee, I should vouch for it!" ”
After listening to Huang Xiu's analysis, Liu Bang finally smiled, "I think we just wanted to be rescued by others, but now we want to rescue others." Okay, let's count the soldiers and horses and go to Dingyang! ”
