Chapter 775: Digging a Pit

Li Qing and Lu Yiming did not stay in the cabinet room for long, and after briefly communicating with King Zhou about the outbreak of the war in Weizhou, Li Qing led all the members of the cabinet to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, where Li Temuzhi, the Governor of the Five Armies, had already prepared all the things such as the sand table, and the staff officers were surrounding the Weizhou sand table and discussing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing Li Qing leading a group of big people to enter, everyone stepped forward to salute. Looking at Li Muzhi who came up, Li Qing nodded: "Father, are you ready?" ”

Li Muzhi said: "It's all right, according to the military report sent back by Tian Feng Pegasus, we have marked the deployment of both sides here." ”

Everyone walked to the sand table and saw that in the huge sand table, the red and yellow flags on the sand table made by imitating the real scene were distinct, and what was shocking was that the yellow flag representing the enemy was in the shape of a half-moon, which faintly surrounded the red flag.

Li Qing held the edge of the sand table with both hands, staring at the situation of the two sides on the sand table, and the whole room was silent.

According to Tian Feng's military report, the 20,000 elites of the Southern Army led by the Zeng Lu Coalition Army and the Southern Army led by Lanshan launched an attack from Machi, Hejiaping, and Gaogang, while the Southern Army of the Blue Mountain was stationed in Shipai, which could echo the three armies, the terrain in the direction of Hejiaping was flat, and the large cavalry of the Northern Army led by Lu Fengchun was the mainstay, and the main cavalry force of Lu Fengchun was almost swept away by Lu Dabing in the last battle, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry team reconstituted in a hurry was greatly reduced, but this time in order to launch the Weizhou Campaign, King Ning can be said to spare no effort to support him, and he gave Lu Fengchun tens of thousands of war horses alone, which is definitely a big deal in the south where a large number of war horses are not produced.

In the direction of Gaogang is the Fengli battalion under the command of the Zeng family, which has strong combat effectiveness, and Guo Quan is now one of the most combative generals under Zeng Yifan, with more than 10,000 troops.

However, it was the 50,000 troops led by Zeng Yifan himself who took on the main attack task and set off from Hejiaping.

At the same time as the war broke out, Tian Feng gave up most of the territory in Weizhou and concentrated the main force on a central axis. In the forefront of the tea shop, 5,000 defenders were arranged in each of Yazikou, and in the rear of these two places, Wei Xin led 10,000 defenders to guard Xiabaoping. Wei Xin is a famous turtle flow master, defensive skills can be called a master, at this point, even the main general Tian Feng is also sighing to himself, in fact, Wei Xin has been in the past battles, proving that he is not weak in attack, but Wei Xin in the past examples, the defensive battle is too good, many times with a very small number of troops to withstand the attack of several times with his own enemy, the light will shine his offensive achievements dim, Wei Xin can only helplessly bear the name of the turtle flow master.

Behind Wei Xin, there is the second line of defense, Sifang Weir, Bailonggang, and then behind is Yangquan, the gateway of Weizhou City.

This central axis is nearly 300 miles long and 200 miles wide, and is guarded by 40,000 troops in the hands of Tian Feng.

"In the early stage of the battle, Tianfeng's army will be under greater pressure, especially in the two places of Chadianzi and Yazikou, the main attack on Chadianzi is Lu Fengchun's troops, and it is Lu Dabing who is against him, Lu Fengchun hates him to the core, both sides are cavalry, as long as the battle begins, it is likely to be a quick battle, and Lu Dabing is at a disadvantage above the troops, and the cavalry fights, which is a big shortcoming. I estimate that Lu Dabing will probably not be able to hold the tea shop. Li Muzhi pointed to the combat sand table and said.

"And Guo Quan's Fengli battalion has strong combat power, but on the opposite side is Tian Xinyu, the troops led by him are mainly soldiers, the terrain here is conducive to defense, there are mountains and rivers, and the road is rugged and difficult to walk, so Tian Xinyu is not under much pressure, but once the tea shop is lost, the flank of Yazikou will be threatened, so it will not be able to hold it, I suggest that you give up these two places directly and shrink the soldiers and horses back to Xiabaoping, so that Wei Xin will have as many as 20,000 troops available in his hands, which is enough to hold Xiabaoping steadily."

After Li Muzhi finished speaking his thoughts, he withdrew the marker pole in his hand and looked at the people in the room. Lu Yiming, Yan Nanfei and the others pondered for a moment, and they all nodded yes.

Li Qing smiled, did not speak immediately, Guo Quan's existence is still an extremely secret, in the entire Dingzhou, there are only three people who know Guo Quan's affairs, that is, Li Qing, Qingfeng and Zheng Zhiyuan, and Zheng Zhiyuan went overseas, and only Li Qing and Qingfeng are left who know Guo Quan's existence.

Li Qing really didn't want to entangle too much with his opponent in the teashop and duck mouth, because no matter how powerful Lu Dabing and Tian Xinyu were in these two places, as long as Zeng Yifan's 50,000 main forces came straight over, they would be attacked on several sides, and Tian Feng must also understand that arranging guards in these two places was just to buy a little more time for Xiabaoping.

What Li Qing thought about was how to bite Lu Fengchun hard when retreating, Lu Fengchun was hit hard, his strength was not as good as before, if he suffered a loss, it would be difficult to recover his vitality. And to achieve this, Guo Quan's cooperation is needed.

Turning his head and whispering a few words to Li Muzhi, Li Muzhi glanced at him with some surprise, and then ordered: "All the officers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies below the rank of General Weiyuan will leave first, waiting to be summoned." ”

As soon as these people left, the room immediately became empty, Li Qing glanced at everyone, and said: "The battle of Weizhou is the prelude to our horse stepping on the Central Plains, we are not only to defeat Lu Fengchun Zeng Yifan, I also want to break the backbone of King Ning, so our early goal is to lure King Ning to continue to invest troops in Weizhou, as well as Liaoshun and Shen, and slowly consume his elite troops." In the early stage of the battle, Tian Feng's department did have to bear a lot of pressure, and Lu Dalin's department had at least one month to arrive in Weizhou, and I then set off, and the arrival time was two months later, during which it was the most difficult moment for Tian Feng's department. However, we are not without advantages. ”

Li Qing glanced at his father, and then said: "Just now, the Governor of the Metropolitan talked about giving up the tea shop and Yazikou and concentrating his forces in Xiabaoping, which is an old and serious method, but I have another idea, that is, the idea of eating one of the enemies in these two places, at least inflicting heavy damage on him, and then retreating to Xiabaoping." ”

Li Muzhi shook his head and said: "Who to eat, is it Lu Fengchun or Guo Quan, these two enemies are not weak, not to mention that we are still at a disadvantage in terms of troops." ”

Li Qing smiled, "Here I want to tell you a top secret, I hope you will rot in your stomach after hearing it." ”

Everyone in the room suddenly became solemn, since Li Qing said that this is a top secret, it must be a big deal, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and pricked up their ears, lest they miss a word.

"Guo Quan, the main general of the Zeng family's Fengli camp, has more than 15,000 people under his jurisdiction." Li Qing slowly spit out a few words, "Everyone knows that this person is the Zeng family's general, have you ever thought that he has anything to do with us?" ”

Everyone was shocked, Yan Nanfei reacted very quickly, and his face showed joy, "Lord, could it be that we have successfully rebelled against this person?" If this is the case, then we will win the battle of Weizhou. ”

Li Qing laughed, "We didn't plot against him, and we don't need to plot against him." ”

Yan Nanfei was suddenly disappointed.

"Because Guo Quan himself is a soldier of my Dingzhou, when he was ordered to infiltrate Liaoshen, he was a captain officer of our army, of course, now he has been promoted to the general of Dingyuan!" Li Qingdao.

One stone broke through the thousand waves, as soon as Li Qing's words came out, the room fell into a dead silence for a moment, this news is too shocking, the enemy's important generals are actually people from their own side, this is too unimaginable. A moment later, there was a cheer in the room, everyone knew too well the significance of this, which meant that Dingzhou could eat the Zeng army when he wanted to.

"Great!" Li Muzhi's fists slammed into the edge of the sand table, "In this way, we can swallow the entire Zeng clan army in one bite at the right time." ”

Li Qing shook his head, "Now is not the time to expose him, Guo Quan's department has a more important task, and there is no need to use him to eat the Zeng family." As long as Lü Dalin and I reach Weizhou, we can defeat them, and my goal is King Ning. ”

"King Ning?"

"Not bad, King Ning!" A crisp voice sounded at the door, and everyone followed the prestige, but it was Qingfeng who walked in, obviously she heard Li Qing's words clearly, "King Ning is our target, and Zeng Yifan is not worthy of being the general's opponent." ”

"Didn't you get a few days off?" Li Qingxiao asked, "Why did you come here again?" ”

Qingfeng walked over with a cheerful face, his face was ruddy, and his expression was radiant, "Dingzhou is now at an important moment, the general asked me to rest, but how can I sit still?" ”

After listening to the conversation between the two, there was nothing else, but Yan Nanfei was suspicious, of course he knew that Qingfeng returned to Dingzhou last night, but the problem was, Qingfeng did not enter the city, when did the lord see her?

"You guessed what I meant?" Li Qing asked.

"Hearing the general say this, I guessed it roughly!" Qingfeng said: "The general is going to hit Zeng Yifan hard in the battle of Weizhou, but he will let him live in the end, and at that time, the person Zeng Yifan can rely on must be the one who performed well in this war, and finally Guo Quan, who still has the strength to exist, lost the territory, and Zeng Yifan, who lost the army, can only go to King Ning, in this way, Guo Quan also went to King Ning, Zeng Yifan went to the south, and he was a water dog, but Guo Quan is different, he will inevitably be valued by King Ning, this is the ultimate goal of the general, Is that right? ”

Li Qing laughed, "Those who know me, Qingfeng also!" You are right, in this battle, I not only want to let Zeng Yifan live, but also let Guo Quan shine in this battle, and let King Ning see that this is a general he can win over and reuse. ”

"General, this is a big hole dug for King Ning? I'm afraid that King Ning will be happy to jump down! Qingfeng said with a smile.
