After listening to Li Tai's words, Zhao Gang also lowered his head and groaned, but after a long while, he still shook his head and sighed helplessly. It is too difficult to solve Murong Shaozong in the Huainan region.

Regardless of the size and ability of Murong Shaozong's current power, this place in Huainan alone is too unfriendly to the Western Wei Dynasty.

Most of the border states and counties were attached to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, even if it was only a nominal moderation, but the attribution of the people's hearts was already very revealing. The Western Wei Dynasty was in this land, and it can be said that there was no deterrent or attraction.

Now that the troops are advancing into Yiyang, it can be regarded as a limit for the development of the power of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, and if it is to be extended outward, the battle line will be further lengthened, and all kinds of hidden dangers will be exposed. And once it encounters a setback, it is not just as simple as the defeat and withdrawal of the army, it will cause the area controlled by the Jingzhou Governor's Office to collapse in a chain, and the outcome will be even more tragic than Wang Sizheng.

Zhao Gang dared to risk his life and personally infiltrate Yiyang to fight against the barbarians to seize the city with a surprise attack, he was by no means a cowardly person, but when he heard that Li Tai planned to enter Huainan and fight Murong Shaozong to the death, he was also extremely unoptimistic in his heart.

If a battle between the two sides is really inevitable, it is better to simply fight with all their might when Murong Shaozong invaded the north before him, at least at that time, he still occupied the geographical advantage.

Now the new annexation of the Western Wei and Han East has not been decided, and there is no foundation in Huainan, and its own strength has not increased significantly, but Murong Shaozong has entered the army, and then recruited many places to attach to the armed forces in the past, and the power is more powerful than when he invaded the north before.

In the past, Li Tai was able to force Murong Shaozong to retreat without losing his calmness and waiting, but now Yiyang Chad, he actually wants to start a decisive battle with Murong Shaozong in Huainan. In Zhao Gang's opinion, this is really unwise!

Li Tai saw Zhao Gang sighing and groaning silently, so he naturally knew what he was thinking, so he smiled again: "The decisive victory of the division lies in the use of power. Although Murong Shaozong is a famous general of thieves, if he is not in his own hands, he must also be restrained. The crowd has been on the road for a long time, and they don't know where to go, and their spirit has been lost, and it is bound to be difficult to fight. The reason why I didn't fight with the force before, sharpened its sharpness and discouraged it, made it useless, and the teacher was tired and slack. ”

Even the most wise generals can hardly instill their tactical ideas into every soldier. The vast majority of generals and soldiers judge the success or failure of an operation by direct external manifestations such as gains and losses in advance and retreat.

Since the Battle of Hanshanyan, Murong Shaozong has overcome strong enemies, and he has an aura of repeated victories, and the soldiers under his command must also be full of morale. Fighting such an army is the most dangerous, because it is not clear when they will directly open the Wushuang on the battlefield.

In the north of the Yangtze River, due to Li Tai's strict preparation, Murong Shaozong was unwilling to pay too much price and took the initiative to lead the army to retreat, and they could not talk about who won and who lost, but for their soldiers and soldiers, it was always fruitless, so they interrupted their rhythm of winning streak a little.

When Zhao Gang heard this, his face softened slightly, and he reluctantly accepted this explanation, but he still couldn't help but say: "Now that the Huainan Zhufang is mostly under the orders of the Eastern Dynasty, once I know that I enter the country to fight with the thief, I am afraid that it will ......."

Speaking of this problem, Li Tai was even less worried, and laughed directly: "Nanliang descended people, and when he saw Hou Jingjukou chaotic and did not dare to resist, he watched the monarch's father suffer deeply and stood sideways. I am competing with the East Thief, and it is just a matter of watching the battle, and I am the most satisfied to see that I am both defeated, so how can I lightly enter the battle formation and die for the East Thief. ”

This reason was so strong that Zhao Gang couldn't refute it at all, but he still had some worries and always felt that it was too rash.

Li Tai also understood that Zhao Gang was not unwilling to agree to this plan in order to offend his majesty, but he did not want to blindly take the risk and subvert the good situation, and he was patient enough for this kind of helpful subordinates, so he explained his plan more specifically.

"Although there are many people in Huainan Prefecture who descend to the east, they rarely echo each other, and each one keeps its own self, so it is difficult to collude to form a trend. I only need to hold this thing, and I can travel freely, without any prohibition, and even take Shouyang directly! ”

As he spoke, Li Tai put out a few things, namely the edict and the seal token of the Eastern Wei Imperial Court appointing Xiahou Qiang as the assassin of Nansizhou, all of which were handed over from the captive Xiahou Ping.

Because Zhao Gang had no further enterprising ideas, he had now captured Yiyang City, and Xiahou Qiang had already fled to Sanguan, so although he had seized the tokens such as the runic seal order issued by the Eastern Wei Dynasty to his people, it was only regarded as an ordinary seizure and was not taken to heart.

But this is a big surprise for Li Tai. The fox and the fake tiger have always been his forte, and now that he has a token given by the Eastern Wei court, of course he has to use it ruthlessly.

Although most of the counties of Huainan Prefecture defected to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, they had no subordinate to each other, and Li Tai took this token to take advantage of the road, and they must not dare to refuse, so it gave him the opportunity to drive straight into the army without bloodshed.

Today's Murong Shaozong is estimated to have not received the official order of the Eastern Wei court, so he is still entrenched in the hanging gourd and does not dare to march to Huainan. But Li Tai naturally won't be polite, he can use this to disguise, travel all the way, and enter Shouyang City before Murong Shaozong.

After Hou Jing raised his troops to the south, he stayed behind in Shouyang City with his cousin Wang Xiangui. However, when his rebellious army was still besieging Jiankangtai City, Xiao Fan, the king of Poyang who stayed in Hefei, sent his generals to attack Shouyang, and broke through Shouyang Luocheng, trapping Wang Xiangui and his disciples in Jincheng.

In desperation, Wang Xiangui surrendered to the Eastern Wei Dynasty. It's just that at that time, the Eastern Wei Dynasty had not yet solved the Wang Sizheng Department stationed in Yingchuan, nor did it increase its troops in Huainan, and still stayed in Shouyang with Wang Xiangui.

Xiao Fan, the king of Poyang, was afraid that another attack on Shouyang might anger the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the battle of King Qin on Jiankang's side was not going well, so he also suspended the attack on Shouyang.

However, Xiao Fan's forbearance and retreat did not exchange for the courtesy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and after the Battle of Yingchuan, Gao Cheng sent Li Bomu, the assassin of Western Yanzhou, to Huainan to lead his troops to Hefei.

On the one hand, he was afraid of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and on the other hand, Xiao Zhengde, who was ruthlessly tricked by Hou Jing in Jiankang City at this time, was resentful and sent a message to summon Xiao Fan to lead his troops into Beijing.

Although the letter was obtained by Hou Jing and Xiao Zhengde was executed, Xiao Fan still learned about this matter and went to Jiankang with the intention of going to Jiankang.

So when the Eastern Wei army was approaching Hefei, Xiao Fan took the initiative to sue for peace, willing to dedicate Hefei to the Eastern Wei with the Hefei he guarded, and begged the Eastern Wei to send troops to help him quell the Hou Jing rebellion, and then led 20,000 horses and horses to leave Hefei, giving up this important town, and then sent an envoy to escort the two sons to Yedu as hostages, imploring the Eastern Wei to send troops, and then led the people and horses to go to the mouth of the water to dig lotus root and pick water chestnuts.

As a result, Hefei, an important town in Huainan that once haunted Sun 100,000 souls and couldn't think about it, was picked up by the Eastern Wei Dynasty. If it weren't for the preferential activities delivered by the Xiao family, I really wouldn't dare to imagine.

Although Xiao Fan paid such a big price, of course the Eastern Wei reinforcements would not have it. Even Li Bomu, who was closed in Hefei, led only a few thousand troops, and there was no elite Jinyang soldiers coming with the army at all.

Li Tai learned about these situations from Liu Zhongli. Although Liu Zhongli himself is not bad, when it comes to Xiao Fan's behavior of handing over the old nest in Hefei to others, cutting off his own way of retreat, and at the same time leading Hou Jing from Jiankang, Liu Zhongli couldn't help but scold and scold.

After listening to Li Tai's explanation of the plan to attack Shouyang, Zhao Gang still felt that it was quite dangerous, but after thinking about it, he also felt that this strategy was very feasible. Even if you don't say that you attack Yiyang, it will be much more dangerous for Li Tai to capture Hanzhong than to capture Shouyang, after all, there is only one Hou Jing's henchman Wang and his remnants in Shouyang City now.

But Li Bomu, who was stationed in Hefei below Shouyang, was also an unstable factor, even if they succeeded in taking Shouyang, and Murong Shaozong also led his troops to the south to fight, if Li Bomu attacked Shouyang in the north, then they would have to suffer from the enemy on their backs, and they would also be at a disadvantage.

When Zhao Gang asked this question again, Li Tai couldn't help but chuckle twice, and then turned to look at Gao Le, who came with the army.

"Li Bomu is the brother of my family's Situ father-in-law."

Li Bomu was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and was the uncle of Gao Zhongmi's ex-wife Li family, of course, he is now considered a relative of Gao Cheng, so he is quite trusted and was sent to Huainan to lead troops.

Hearing Gao Le say this, Zhao Gang's mind suddenly flooded with various operations such as lobbying and discord, but Gao Lexuan even said: "Although he is outside the military and the country, he is not known for his bravery. If he dares to get involved in the battle, the last general will capture him! ”

After telling all aspects of it, Zhao Gang thought about it again, and couldn't help but feel that although this plan was still a bit risky, it also had a lot of room for maneuver. Is there anything perfect about what is said and what is done in war?

Now Zhao Gang is no longer worried that this plan is too rash, but is a little worried that Murong Shaozong will not lead troops when he sees the situation, so he will miss an excellent opportunity.

After all, due to the limitations of their own strength, even if they can enter Shouyang, it will be difficult for them to occupy it for a long time. If the army hangs out for a long time, not only will the cost of military resources increase significantly, but it will also increase many unpredictable risks.

Li Tai is not worried about this at all, as long as he can enter Shouyang, he is absolutely sure that Murong Shaozong will come to fight!
