Chapter 161: Thoughtful
Zhu Kuangcong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he said, "Dongxi Sanzhou? Is the Han army crazy? Give up such a rich land of Chu, and instead take the wild land? β
Li Yuan shook his head decisively and said loudly: "Everyone, let's see, after crossing the Yuanshui in the west, which city is the closest?" β
The generals opened their eyes wide, struggled to grope and look, and then spoke one after another: "Dashuai, it's Chenzhou!" β
"If Chenzhou is broken, go north along the Yuanshui, but it is our Langzhou!" Li Yuan suddenly laughed and said: "This Pan Chongche has made a lot of calculations, and he actually used the strategy of defeat to directly attack my Wuping foundation!" If it weren't for the fact that our army had already completed all the divisions, the consequences would be unimaginable! Langzhou City is empty, there are only 10,000 recruits, and there is no general who is good at fighting to defend it......"
Zhu Kuangcong sniffed his nose and said suspiciously: "Dashuai, don't you hold this Pan Chongche too high!" This guy is hundreds of miles away, how did he know that I am Langzhou? How did he know how many soldiers and horses there were in my Wuping Town? If there were tens of thousands of troops in Langzhou City, wouldn't the Han army kill themselves? Such famous generals are really reckless......"
"When I captured Xizhou the previous time, some barbarian prisoners talked about that the old thief of Tian Hongyou had sent an envoy to Pan Chongche for help, and it was no secret that the main force of my Wuping army went to Dongxi! What's more, the soldiers and horses left in Langzhou by this commander have sent two roads back and forth, and Pan Chongche is not a fool, how can he not know that my Langzhou is empty? β
As soon as the words changed, Li Yuan said with a gloomy face: "But you are also right, Pan Chongche, as a famous general, should not be so reckless!" It's just that Dongxi has always been well aware of the defense of Langzhou City, and this Tian Hongyou is afraid that he has secretly given the Langzhou map to the Han army, otherwise where will this guy have the guts? Speaking of this, Ben Shuai remembered the scene of Langzhou breaking the city during the Western Expedition......"
Xu Kuangheng showed an intriguing smile, stroked his long beard and said: "Famous generals are strange in their use of soldiers. But looking down, Pan Chongche met the handsome, this general is afraid that the title is going to be Xian, although he is bold, but he is too underestimated! Since we dare to give up Tanzhou and turn to Langzhou, we are sure that our army will be like the Chu army in the past, trapped in Dongxi for several months and cannot return, but I didn't expect that my 30,000 troops were already in Linyuan City! β
Li Yuan's gaze went straight to a young face, and he shouted, "Chai Kewu! β
Chai Kewu, who was frowning and thinking, heard the call of the marshal, subconsciously raised his head and shouted: "The end will be!" β
"You left 3,000 sergeants stationed in Chenzhou last time, and this time the commander has to bother you again! This commander ordered you to be the left vanguard of the southbound battalion, and lead 10,000 elite soldiers to go to the enemy immediately! β
Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan added worriedly: "Kewu, it has been five days since the Han army moved to the army, according to the schedule, I am afraid that when your army arrives, Pan Chongche will already be in Chenzhou City!" If the city of Chenzhou has been lostβ"
Chai Kewu bowed his hand and said firmly: "Handsome! There is an end general, and Chenzhou City can't be lost! β
Seeing that this young general who was trained by himself is now in high spirits, Li Yuan did not say anything to hit his confidence, but smiled silently, and then waved his hand gently, Chai Kewu bowed respectfully, and then led several partial generals to turn around and leave.
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
Then Li Yuan continued to order: "Zhu Kuangcong! β
The reckless man, who had long been impatient, stood up overjoyed and replied loudly: "Handsome! The end will be! β
"This commander ordered you to be the right vanguard of the southbound battalion, lead 10,000 soldiers lightly, and go straight to Yiyang along the trail! You remember to Ben Shuai, this time Ben Shuai will entrust the remaining elite soldiers in the army to you, this battle will let me go, and if you don't repel the Han army outside Yiyang City, you won't come back! β
Zhu Kuangcong just wanted to give it up, but he hesitated slightly, and then showed a hint of an embarrassed smile, and said: "Big, handsome, the Han army outside Yiyang City is full of 30,000!" In the end, thisβ"
"What, cowardly? Look at the people and firewood, don't say a word and take the order to go, if you don't dare to go, the handsome will choose another smart! You'd better go back and carry the flag!" β
Zhu Kuangcong stomped his feet fiercely, raised his head and gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Handsome! The last general commands! If the Han army is not repelled in this battle, the last general will apologize for his crimes! With that, he pressed the sword on his waist tightly, and also led several generals to stride away.
There are not many elite soldiers under his command, Li Yuan is of course reluctant to let them be in a desperate situation, and sent several teams of scouts one after another, and rushed straight to the east, since Fan Renyu has led the army to the north, it will definitely be blocked outside Yiyang City, and then he and Zhu Kuang will join the troops to flank the Han army, plus the pro-guard army of Lin Sichang and Ebony Special Service in the city, the odds of victory will naturally increase a few points.
After issuing several military orders in a row, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head to look at Xu Kuangheng who was silent, and said with a smile: "Sir, the enemy is currently in the present, do you see that this commander has arranged it like this, is it appropriate?" β
Xu Kuangheng hurriedly bowed his head and arched his hand: "Handsome! You've got you covered! The ability of the handsome man has already been thrown to the ground! I believe that every military order of the commander is well thought out, and this battle will be successful! β
Li Yuan smiled, waved his hand and continued: "Mr. speaks well!" But Ben Shuai was able to deduce the movement of the Han army today, thanks to Mr. Mention it on the side! β
Xu Kuangheng was earnestly polite, and then reminded: "Marshal, in the next suggestion, you still need to send an envoy to Xizhou!" After all, Chenzhou is the land of Dongxi, if the Han army comes to attack, how can Peng Shiyu not react? He's a handsome man now......"
Li Yuan twisted his eyebrows and said: "Since Peng Shiyu leads the three states, he should naturally have the responsibility of defending the land!" But you and I both know that Dongxi has just experienced a big war, and Peng Shiyu has only been back in power for a few days, so how can he have extra troops to come to help in the war? β
Xu Kuangheng grinned: "It's one thing to have it or not, but it's another thing to come or not...... No matter in terms of duty or morality, Peng Shiyu should send troops to come, how can he be allowed to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? But Dashuai, I still hope he doesn't come......"
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Why is that? β
Xu Kuangheng blinked his eyes and said in a low voice: "Dashuai, it was your guidance that made Zai react!" The world only knows that this Linyuan City is the throat that guards the eastward advance of Dongxi, but it seems to have forgotten that Chenzhou City is the closest city to Chudi! That's because the city is adjacent to Yuanshui, surrounded by high mountains and valleys, the roads are difficult to navigate, and it is occupied by barbarians, so most people think that this city is difficult to march!
But the previous marshal ordered Chai Duto to capture Chenzhou, and now the Han army wants to take advantage of this to go north to Langzhou, which is enough to show that this Chenzhou city is not like this! After observing the terrain below, this place is very different from the rest of the two states of Dongxi, and it is very appropriate to garrison here, so there is no need to worry about the problem of supply difficulties! Handsome! If our army occupies Chenzhou again this time, we can't easily withdraw our troops......"
Li Yuan sighed noncommittally, and then spoke: "What does Mr. mean, doesn't he want Ben Shuai to turn Peng Shiyu's Dongxi Sanzhou into Dongxi Erzhou?" In this way, in the future, the barbarians of Dongxi will be completely crushed to death in Xizhou! It's not that Ben Shuai hasn't thought about this problem, but it's just that there are one big battle after another, and it's too late to plan. Besides, Sanzhou lost one state, can Peng Shiyu agree? Can the court agree? β
Xu Kuangheng sighed, arched his hand and said with a smile: "The big handsome has the power to control the entire Chu land, and he is Peng Shiyu's superior, how can he not agree?" Of course, the court still has to explain! If Peng Shiyu does not send troops this time, it will just give us a reason......"
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "Sir, I will ask you to write a letter for Ben Shuai and send someone to Xizhou as soon as possible!" β
Xu Kuangheng was overjoyed and said: "Obey the order!" β
