Chapter 412: The Lion's Strategy

Wang Jiansheng threatened to go south to the Ningzhou Plateau, attack the western part of Xiangzhou from the direction of central Guizhou, cross the Wuling Mountain and Xuefeng Mountain to relieve the siege of Huacang City, and conquer Changsha in one fell swoop. Gu Xichao reported: "When Huacang City learned the news, his morale was greatly boosted. ”

When Long Aotian heard this, his expression moved slightly.

He bowed his head and groaned, and after a while, he snorted disapprovingly.

"A threat is a threat after all. Long Aotian said lightly: "If he can really do it, there is no need to say so." ”

"What's the solution?" Gu Xichao asked in amazement: "Although the Qingcheng faction is still threatened by many enemies, after all, the family has a big business, and it is not impossible to dispatch a certain amount of elites to rescue Long Zaitian. ”

Long Aotian said: "After all, Huacang City has not been built for a long time, and the city fortress itself is strong enough, but the formation is not good. In these days' attacks, the city defense array has been severely depleted, and even if the morale rises slightly, the city will fall soon. ”

"To attack the western Hunan region in the direction of central Guizhou, it is necessary to pass through a large area of mountains and plateaus, and it is very difficult to march and supply. This area is full of toast, so we still need to guard against the attack of fierce barbarian soldiers, even if you work hard to get out of the mountains, either Huacang City has been broken at this time and you will return in vain, or I will divide my troops to cut off the back road, it is difficult to come over, and it is even more difficult to go back. ”

Speaking of this, Long Aotian stopped talking.

After all, Zen Master Xuezhai and Gu Taineng are all figures of the older generation, and they were cultivated by his father. And he needed to let his side gradually grow to the point where he could take charge of himself, so he decided to let Gu Xi think about the next step towards him.

Gu Xichao showed a contemplative look, and after a while, he spoke: "Sound east and west?"

Long Aotian high-fived and said, "Yes, Xiangxi is just a feint. Now that my Shenxiao soldiers are gathered in Jingnan, coming from here is tantamount to death. Wang Jiansheng must have planned to take advantage of Jingbei's weakness and go south along the Yangtze River from the Three Gorges. The first is to seize the land, and the second is to encircle Wei and save Zhao. ”

"Now that the Three Rivers Sword Sect is threatened by the Divine Hall, it is difficult to send troops to defend it, and there is only one powerful tribe around, Jing Yiya. For Wang Jiansheng, attacking from that direction is really an excellent time. ”

Gu Xi is in the morning. Then he said: "Going with the river is better than going against the current, and going south from the Yangtze River is like a bamboo." Even if we knew, we couldn't resist ......"

Long Aotian said proudly: "However, Huacang City is about to fall, and it is not a big deal to send some troops to secretly go north. Moreover, Yizhou lacks excellent naval generals, and is not at all the opponent of Jingzhou Dongting Naval Division. ”

"I will order the defenders of Yiling to prepare for the attack, and the Iyi Valley in the Gangneung area will fully support. You stayed to besiege Huacang City, and I personally dispatched elite troops to the north with light equipment, plus the Dongting Sailors rushed to help. Coordinated operations on land and water, breaking the enemy's naval army, and cutting off the enemy's rear route may be able to reproduce the situation of burning down the company camp more than 1,000 years ago. ”

"Since my father's later years, he has always given Yizhou an illusion, that is, although Jingzhou Shenxiao Dao and Yangzhou Beifu Army are allied, the relationship is not so good, and they have always been guarding against each other. ”

Actually, this is also true. It's just that now Ma Qiancheng is bent on going north, and the battle of the dragon and tiger is about to break out. With his cleverness. There is no reason to let go of the land of Qingzhou, which is already about to be eaten in your mouth, and come to the territory of Shenxiao Dao. Yangzhou has been in civil strife for many years, the economy has been seriously damaged, and it is in a situation where everything is in ruins waiting to be rebuilt. ”

"That means. We can draw more troops against Wang Jiansheng. ”

Gu Xichao bit his lip and said, "That is to say...... If Wang Jiansheng didn't just threaten, he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat?"

Long Aotian smiled cruelly: "Yes, I deliberately left spare strength when besieging Huacang City, just to lure Wang Jiansheng into the bait. If he is stupid enough not to be a suspicious soldier in either direction, and divides the forces evenly, I will let him die a miserable death. ”

His expression turned calm again: "If you don't hurt this lion on the side of the couch, you can't feel at ease after all." Fortunately, the fourth child is almost finished, we can mobilize more troops than the Qingcheng faction, and our side is a defensive battle, so we will not let him have another chance to attack. ”

A few days later, a large number of warships of the Yizhou army appeared in the direction of the Yangtze River, and at the same time, a large number of infantry troops moved south along the river bank, confirming Long Aotian's prediction.

He had already taken precautions to block the enemy in Yiling, and then attacked it head-on with the Dongting Naval Division, winning the victory, sinking and burning many Yizhou military warships and transport ships.

However, Wang Jianxu found that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered a retreat, which made Long Aotian's plan to cut off the back road fail, and the army suffered relatively minor losses. But even so, according to conservative estimates, the losses of the Yizhou army and navy are more than 3,000 people.

At the same time, news also came from Jingnan that Huacang City had been captured. Long Zaitian's entire family was killed, including Long Zaitian's mother.

For his father's concubine, Long Aotian will not open his eyes.

Immediately, the search for the dragon in the Fu family of the Heavenly Mother Clan was launched.

However, when Long Aotian got the news that a large number of important members of the Fu family had mysteriously disappeared, he knew that the situation was going to be bad.

Then, in the mountains west of Xuefeng Mountain, the movement was slow, and the Qingcheng army, which had not been able to get out of the mountains at all, killed a horse and ran back. At the same time, a large number of Xiangxi Tusi announced their defection to the Qingcheng faction, which not only provided a large amount of grain and grass for the Qingcheng army, but also hunted down and expelled the pro-dragon Aotian forces in the Xiangxi region.

Xiangxi in a broad sense includes Wuxi, Baoqing, Yongzhou, Zhenxi, and a small part of Qianzhong and Liangguang.

Nearly a quarter of the territory of the Jingzhou army fell to the Qingcheng faction in an instant.

At this time, Long Aotian realized that he wanted to suddenly capture Huacang City, so that Wang Jiansheng would lose the righteous name of the attack, and it was in vain, but Wang Jiansheng was also waiting for him to conquer Huacang City and slaughter Long Zaitian's family and the Fu family.

Because Wang Jiansheng's purpose from the beginning was to seize the mountainous area of Xiangxi, not to rush out of the mountainous area and run to the plains to rescue Long Zaitian!

Wang Jiansheng adopted a hypothetical approach, first threatening to go to Qianzhong to attack Xiangxi, which made Long Aotian think that this was a bluff, and then he went out of the Three Gorges with a large number of troops, and was led by his ace general Wang Jianxu, which attracted Long Aotian's attention.

At the same time, Wang Jianxu commanded the suspicious soldiers, which could also ensure that when they were hit, the losses would be controlled to a small extent. It is conceivable that the ships that were sunk were probably either militiamen or ordinary sailors.

The real elite pretended to be slow, and indeed entered Xiangxi in Qianzhong. At the same time, Wang Jiansheng took advantage of the instability of the people in Jingzhou and adopted a large number of diplomatic means to secretly adjust the key figures in the Xiangxi Tusi.

Most of the toasts in Xiangxi had been favored by the Fu family, but they were forced to remain neutral due to the situation. When Long Aotian killed Long Zaitian's whole family and slaughtered the Fu family, the toasts all felt sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, and under the persuasion of Wang Jiansheng, the land of Xiangxi collapsed and fell into the arms of the Yizhou army.

Getting the surrender of the toasts also solved the problem of insufficient troops and even food and grass.

Although the land of Xiangxi is vast and sparsely populated, it is better than the territory is large, and the value of this piece of meat is much greater than the Yiling that Long Zaitian promised to cede to the Qingcheng faction. What's more, controlling this place can also threaten the ruling hinterland of Shenxiao Dao at any time - the first line of Wuling and Changsha!

Serial calculations, no leaks, all of Long Aotian's judgments and choices were all expected by Wang Jiansheng.

The angry Long Aotian now knew how much of a gap he had compared to a strong man at the level of a military god.

......

The main hall of the Qingcheng faction, the inner room.

"I wonder if your aunt will blame me. Wang Jiansheng took a sip of tea and sighed.

Sitting across from him was a thirteen-year-old boy, fair-skinned, but with a tiger's head and a fierce eye.

This young man is Wang Jiansheng's eldest son Wang Sizheng, who has used a purple electric spear as a magic weapon, and has called himself "Gun King" since he was a child.

"There's no way around it. With the geographical situation of Jingzhou, Long Zaitian could not be saved at all. Daddy, didn't you quietly save a lot of people from the Fu family? The little guy said, and found that he didn't have much black chicken and ginseng soup in his bowl, so he snatched the bowl from his father's hand and poured half of it into his own bowl.

Wang Jiansheng didn't think it was angry, but said lightly: "You need to know how much soup you need to drink." The soup is a trivial matter, if you have less food and grass in the future, will you still add it temporarily?"

Wang Sizheng just smiled disapprovingly.

Wang Jiansheng glanced at his son lovingly, and thought: It's a good thing to drink more, grow tall and strong, and become a famous general like his father and aunt early, the current Qingcheng faction is the time to lack talents.

"If I don't save some of them, I really won't be able to explain them to your aunt. Wang Jiansheng said: "Your aunt has come back against the current, let her go to Xiangxi immediately and take over the command of the Five-Color Reserve Legion." Of course, the two young men Song Xianxiu and Dao Zhengfan are not bad, enough to take on the task of luring a group of toasts, but unfortunately they are not even the opponents of Monk Xuezhai and Gu Taineng, let alone Long Aotian himself. ”

secretly thought in his heart that his father Wang Yifeng had almost failed to leave him any talent enough to be independent, except for accepting a righteous sister from Jingzhou, which led to the fact that he had to cultivate himself to have the current overstretched situation. On the other hand, Qin Baxian of the Yangzhou Army, the team left behind by his apprentice Ma Qiancheng was so strong that it was so strong that it was very powerful.

Now that the Fu family has been slaughtered, Wang Jianxu's heart must be full of hatred, but she is a calm person and will not be easily blinded by hatred. She can't throw her hatred at her brother-in-law, she will only do her best to fight the Shenxiao Army.

"Why didn't Daddy go out himself, even if he couldn't annihilate Shenxiao in one fell swoop, he should be able to inflict a heavy blow on him. Wang Sizheng said: "After the battle of Meishan City, my father seems to have become timid, is it because the height is unbearable, and he is afraid of losing the battle and breaking off the famous name accumulated in the past?"

Wang Jiansheng smiled slightly: "Don't forget that after that war, our territory more than doubled, and we didn't even occupy Sichuan before." Now that the land of Yizhou and Ningzhou needs to be digested urgently, I have to sit in my heart, how can I easily go to the front line?"

Wang Sizheng was silent, and after a while, he said, "Daddy, when will I be able to go to the battlefield?"

Wang Jiansheng said slowly: "When you know how much soup you want to drink each time." ”

Then Wang Sizheng's little face turned into the color of pig liver. (To be continued......)
