Chapter 146 Chain Reaction Look at Shula

The way to use soldiers, avoid the real and make the virtual.

In essence, it is to bully the weak and fear the hard.

Geng Bingwen held Xi'an and protected the line of defense in front of him, but the Guanzhong Plain was very large, and there were other places to attack, and Geng Bingwen could not be foolproof in other directions.

Song Sheng said that the two places, crossing the Yellow River to attack Hedong and seizing the Dasanguan, both refer to each other.

The former is to further attack Shanxi and contain Shanxi's troops. Fight for Ye Shen's fighter.

After all, the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are very long and narrow, and many places are too close to the riverbank. In addition, many places on both sides of the strait are not under the control of the Northern Army. It's easy to run into problems, and it's not possible to carry out large-scale transportation.

So it can only be contained. But now sending troops across the river is different.

It is very likely that the Hedong region will really be seized, and the front line of Luoyang Tongguan will be pressed from another strategic direction, and even if it fails, at least the Shanxi army will be exposed to the enemy on its back and unable to move.

Dasanguan was naturally the road to attack Hanzhong, and Hanzhong was the gateway to Sichuan.

Song Sheng naturally didn't think that he would be able to enter Sichuan now.

After all, there is Li Jinglong in Hanzhong. It's okay to attack, it's okay to defend. But the benefits of breaking into Sichuan are too many. Song Sheng couldn't bear to let it go, so he made a tentative move.

As for the overall direction of attack, do not attack Xi'an, do not attack Tongguan, and separate Xi'an from Tongguan. It's a clever idea.

After all, Xi'an is the center of Guanzhong, and if Geng Bingwen does not guard Xi'an, the situation in the entire Guanzhong will collapse, and it will be out of control at that time. It's just that the focus of the war is no longer in Xi'an, but in Tongguan, and once the northern army exits Tongguan, it is foreseeable that the Yellow River defense line will collapse in the future.

Therefore, Geng Bingwen must choose Tongguan instead of Xi'an on the choice of Xi'an and Tongguan.

The army was inserted between Tongguan and Xi'an, and Geng Bingwen had to make a choice.

After abandoning Xi'an, they could only fight with the Northern Army on the Guanzhong Plain, which was the dream of many generals of the Northern Army.

In short, the strategic initiative is already entirely in the Northern Army.

Qu Neng was silent for a while, he was thinking about logistics.

Now that he is fighting, he is essentially smashing logistics with logistics. Whether the logistics are sufficient or not, the combat effectiveness that he can show is completely different. Therefore, he thinks about logistics first before fighting. I also have to admit that the materials in his hands were not enough to fight a tough battle.

also accepted Song Sheng's plan. Slow down first.

Just whatever? Such a battle was very shocking to the people of the world. Especially for the Nanjing side.

Almost everyone in the world is asking in their hearts, who is the next person?

Mei Yin, Song Sheng, the betrayal of a heavy general. The betrayal of the next heavy general is also reasonable.

It's just that many people didn't expect one to appear so quickly.

It's none other than Li Jinglong in Hanzhong.

-------

For this matter, Li Jinglong was also very stunned.

Although he had already had this in mind, he did not expect that the war would develop so quickly that many things would not have time to be dealt with.

Especially in Nanjing.

After all, Li Jinglong intervened in the depreciation of Nanjing's new banknotes, and in addition to making a lot of money, the scene also had to be cleaned up. And if he betrayed in Hanzhong, how angry Nanjing would be, Li Jinglong could also imagine.

Therefore, the Li family's family in Nanjing should also be arranged.

Of course, there will not be many people who will be arranged, it is nothing more than his son, wife and other relatives, as for the other people in the Cao Guo Mansion, he is willing to give them to Zhu Yunwen and let Zhu Yunwen dissipate his anger, after all, many things cannot be done too obviously.

Zhu Yunwen is not a fool either.

Li Jinglong emptied the Cao Guo Mansion. Zhu Yunwen doesn't know anything, it's impossible.

Li Jinglong doesn't care too much about the lives of these subordinates.

It's just that a lot of things haven't been dealt with now, and once he betrays, it will involve a lot of people.

But what kind of person is Li Jinglong?

He thought about it for a moment, and then he made up his mind.

This opportunity cannot be missed.

The reason why he did this was because the situation was getting here.

The situation in Guanzhong collapsed too quickly, not to mention that the reason for the collapse was Song Sheng's defection, how could Nanjing not react when such a thing happened, Li Jinglong had already gotten some news through his own channels. That is, the Nanjing Imperial Court has decided to send a lot of prison troops to garrison everywhere to ensure that such a thing will not happen.

Even many Jinyi guards have already left Beijing.

Jinyiwei, a divine weapon, had long been rusted in Zhu Yunwen's hands. But even if it's rusty. But they can still kill. Li Jinglong is a thief, and Li Jinglong still leaves a lot of flaws in many things.

This is also inevitable.

After all, Li Jinglong's volume is too big and there are too many movements. It is also something that Zhu Yunwen has no experience in this area, and a discerning person can see through it at a glance, so it dragged on for so long.

He does not worry about the danger of others, only his own.

Secondly, there is the issue of price code.

Song Sheng has already defected.

If Mei Yin's defection was an accident, Song Sheng's defection was inevitable. Many things are rewarded for rushing to the front, and it is not good to fall behind. If Li Jinglong was hesitating, it was very likely that he would not even be considered third, and it would be even more miserable at that time.

Therefore, Li Jinglong must take the lead.

Not to mention, there are also human relationships.

It's Mei Yin's.

Li Jinglong and Mei Yin are both people in the same circle, Li Jinglong's father Li Wenzhong, Mei Yin's uncle Mei Sizu are both founding generals, commanders of one party, although Li Jinglong does not have a princess, but his father is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, speaking of which his grandmother is also a princess.

They are the people of a circle.

During his time in Hanzhong, he fought against Mei Yin several times.

Li Jinglong didn't spare his hand at all. Li Jinglong's ability to lead troops can only be regarded as qualified, and he does not take much advantage in the hands of Mei Yin. But the war is the war, and there has always been a correspondence between Li Jinglong and Mei Yin.

Both sides were catching up, though not saying anything big about it.

But there are some things that need not be said.

Although Li Jinglong has a relationship with Yao Guangxiao. But more options will be needed in the future. There are many similarities between him and no, so it is certain that they will be together in the future.

Now Mei Yin wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender.

In particular, he pointed out the benefits of his surrender now.

Mei Yin defected, Hexi fell, Song Sheng defected, Guanzhong fell more than half, he defected again, Hanzhong is not owned by the Southern Dynasties, and it can open the gateway to Sichuan, and the most important thing is that the Guanzhong region will not be able to support it for long without the backing of Hanzhong.

After the fall of Guanzhong, the northern army could bypass the so-called Yellow River defense line and go straight to the land of Jianghan, once it occupied the upper reaches, the death of Nanjing was just around the corner.

In terms of strategic situation, Nanjing is extremely bad.

The defection of such a large number of high-ranking generals will inevitably cause a chain reaction, and more importantly, it will be locked in the victory by Beijing.

Now that the war has reached this point, although militarily speaking, the Northern Army has an advantage, but the advantage is only an advantage, and there have been too many Northern and Southern Dynasties in Chinese history. Losing the northern plains, the southeast is enough to establish a state.

Many people still have confidence in Nanjing, at least the north and the south can stand side by side.

But once Hanzhong and Sichuan are owned by the north, there are very few people who can still maintain their confidence.

In this case, how much credit does Li Jinglong have?

And once the Northern Army achieved strategic victories on other fronts, the situation was different. Li Jinglong's benefits will also be reduced.

As for the price, Mei Yin did not suggest that Li Jinglong put forward conditions for Beijing, suggesting that he defected because of righteousness, rather than glory and wealth.

The reason is very simple, and today's Li Jinglong is still less prosperous

Is it rich?

After the battle of the new banknote in Nanjing, the Duke of Cao became rich in the world, and the Duke of Guo was also at the top. It can be said that the thing of glory and wealth is enough for Li Jinglong, and what he needs more now is not glory and wealth, but power.

And how to get the power is naturally to please the person who has the power, that is, the Beijing court.

The free ones are the most expensive. Li Jinglong also knows this truth. As long as he makes the Nanjing court owe him favors, it is enough for him to have a place in the court in the future.
