Chapter 499: No Plan

When Li Qing heard me say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General, do you have a plan in mind?" In the face of this Wu Sangui, how do you want to fight this battle? ”

"Plans? Not yet, I'm also thinking about it, after all, this time the battle situation is more complicated, and it can't be figured out in a while, and besides, this time we are likely to have a long battle. ”

Anyway, Wu Sangui is going to be the king in Yunnan in the end, so this time Wu Sangui and I are definitely more energetic, there is no ten years and eight years of fighting, I am afraid that this war will not be over.

"A long war? Is this okay? ”

Li Qing may not know how long this long time is, but he thought that this rescue was definitely carried out quickly, and after he came, he fought with Wu Sangui, defeated Wu Sangui, and relieved Wang Qi's worries about being besieged.

But how can things be so simple, since Wu Sangui is besieging the city, he is completely sure that he wants to break through this city, we rescue, and want to defeat him, so how difficult is it?

"General Li, I have one more bad news to tell you now!"

After glancing at Li Qing, I continued: "Actually, this time Wu Sangui deliberately led us here, at the beginning, those two soldiers broke out to ask us for help, but I'm afraid that Wu Sangui deliberately let them out!" ”

Li Qing listened to my words, his face was full of incredulity, and he exclaimed: "General, how is this possible? Our army came here to rescue, and you actually said that Wu Sangui deliberately led us here? ”

I knew that Li Qing would not believe it, how could he have thought that Wu Sangui would use such a strategy?

But this happens to be Wu Sangui's trick.

"Look at this county seat, it is so impassable that it is surrounded by Wu Sangui, don't even think about a bird going in and out, let alone people, do you think those two brothers are really so easy to rush out and report the news? If Wu Sangui hadn't ordered them to come out, would they have been able to go to our Lizi County for help alive? ”

Li Qing still couldn't believe that this was true, where did he think that Wu Sangui would use such a trick.

"General, this is just incredible, isn't it? If it is really as you said, then why did Wu Sangui do it, if he wanted to destroy us, then he could have led his troops to Lizi County to besiege us, is it necessary to besiege General Wang and bring us here? ”

Li Qing's question is definitely something that countless people want to ask, but this is Wu Sangui, because the question he thinks about is naturally very reasonable.

"General Li, then tell me about the Qing army besieging us several times before, why did we not take advantage of it at all, but instead wiped out the whole army, losing more than 100,000 horses and horses in our small Li Zi County?"

Li Qing felt that this question was very easy to return to, and said without thinking about it: "That's not it, general, you have a good command, and the successive strategies are everywhere, so that the Qing army will lose very badly, and no one will live!" ”

Li Qing's words were changed to others who listened to them, and they were afraid that they would be happy, but for me, I didn't like this way of patting on the back.

Although Li Qing also stated some facts, not all the credit lies with me.

"No, you're wrong, General Li, the Qing army will lose badly in the past few times, and those credits don't belong to me."

"Not yours? General, what do you mean by that? ”

Li Qing looked confused, he definitely didn't expect me to veto like this.

"It's everyone's here."

It's not that I'm raising the bar myself, but it really belongs to everyone.

"The previous few times besieged, we can easily destroy those Qing troops, in addition to the merits of the brothers, there are two main points, the first is that our county city is strong, the city wall is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the second is that the high mountains and dense forests outside our county are a series of moats, which can allow us to ambush military horses, design and dig pits, although these are not armies, but they are better than the army, like thousands of troops and horses set up there, since ancient times, the war has relied on the right time, place and people, if you can get the same three things, You can be invincible, if you have all three, then there is no defeat at all. ”

"And we, several battles, our men and horses are mainly defending, we have hundreds of people guarding the city, we can resist the attack of thousands of Qing troops, they came here to fight in a different place, naturally they lost the time and place, and we occupy all the advantages, plus the strategy is beneficial to us, so we will win every time, and it is the smallest price in exchange for the largest victory."

"But this time it's different, Wu Sangui's cunning also lies in this, this guy knows that our city is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, if he leads troops to attack our city directly, not only will he not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but he will suffer a big loss, and in the end there is even the possibility of defeat, we can not fight, just rely on the solidity of the city, the abundance of grain and grass can be defended for three or five years, but Wu Sangui does not have so long to spend on us!"

"That's why this guy will use such a strategy to lure us out, anyway, everyone is fighting in a different place, and no one can take advantage of anyone, so it is us who suffers, he wants to destroy us, but there is a city that wants to attack your General Wang Qi, and the best way is to bring us here, this plan to kill two birds with one stone is used without flaws, it can be described as an old fox!"

When Li Qing listened to my words, his whole person was not calm, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe that such a thing had happened to us.

"What shall we do now, General? This Wu Sangui is so scheming, we actually jumped into such a deep pit, why don't we lead the troops to retreat? ”

Li Qing's words made me stare at him deadly, if it was someone else who heard my words and said this, I can still understand it, but who is Wang Qi, Wang Qi is his cousin, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water must not be saved without seeing death.

But when his cousin was in trouble, Li Qing said such a thing.

"General Li, you are too careful, since we have come, this battle must be fought, then Wu Sangui is indeed harmful, and his Guanning Iron Cavalry is the most elite in the world, but so what, Li Qingjun We are not here to travel this time, General Wang Qi is now facing the most difficult moment, we absolutely cannot sit idly by."

"It's just that this Wu Sangui is much more cunning than we thought, he has his advantages, but we also have our advantages, don't we?"

Li Qing looked at me in surprise and asked in amazement, "Advantage?" General, what advantages are you talking about? Is our advantage even more powerful than that of Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry? ”

"The Guanning Iron Cavalry is indeed invincible in the world, but we are not muddy, but what I still can't figure out is that since this Wu Sangui is designed to lure us out, that is, he wants to fight with us in the field, and we have arrived, why has he not moved? It stands to reason that he should have taken advantage of our unstable foothold to suddenly lead troops to kill, but at this time we did not suffer the slightest attack, why did he? ”

The most important thing now is to find out why Wu Sangui did this, we can't figure this out, and it is very difficult to move on to the next step.

"General, you said that this Wu Sangui wouldn't want to send another army to attack our city at this time when we came out in a big way, right? If this is really the case, our county will be in danger, and when the county town is broken, we will really become lonely ghosts! ”

Li Qing said that this question was thought of when I came out, but I am 10,000 relieved that General Arima is guarding the city.

There are nearly 30,000 people guarding the city under his hands, and 30,000 people guarding a county seat, how can he hold it, with these 30,000 guarding the city, not to mention that General Ma is still in command, even if the 100,000 army is pressed over, as long as General Ma does not open the city to face the battle, the county seat is absolutely worry-free.

And what I told General Ma was that no matter who went to attack the county seat, he would not go out of the city to face the battle, he only needed to defend the city.

So, I don't worry too much about the county.

"You asked this question well, don't think he, Wu Sangui will not make such a stupid move, if he dares to send someone to attack our city, I can guarantee you, he will definitely lose badly."

Li Qing didn't know why I said this so confidently, but he didn't ask much, but asked me what we should do next, and he could make the next arrangements.

"Now all we have to do is wait!"

"Wait?"

"Yes, just wait, then Wu Sangui neither attacked the county seat, nor did he come to us for trouble, I think he is waiting for an opportunity, or he is brewing some tricks, but it is not yet mature. And we can't figure out his movements now, and we don't know what he's going to do, so what you should do now is how to make our big camp like Wu Sangui's military camp and think of an iron pass. ”

"But, but, General, if Wu Sangui is really planning something, I think we need to do something, otherwise if his plan succeeds, then it will be us who will be passive at that time!"

Li Qing's worries are also my worries now, but I can't help it, because I don't know what Wu Sangui is planning.

"I have my own plan for this, I will send someone to find out Wu Sangui's purpose, you go to set up the camp now, send a team of men and horses to hide in the mountains and dense forests on the east side, and absolutely no one can find out, especially Wu Sangui, this group of people and horses is hiding there, my heart can rest assured a lot, if Wu Sangui dares to come and sneak attack, he will also suffer a big loss because of this."
