Chapter 98: With such a strong teacher, why worry about the uncertain world?
Guo Tianyi smiled slightly, looked at the generals and said, "This king has five thousand cavalry. ”
Hearing the sound, the generals were overjoyed.
Five thousand cavalry?
Isn't that at least thirty or forty thousand foot soldiers?
Everyone knows that the cavalry of the imperial court is very expensive.
If there can be 5,000 cavalry, at least 30,000 or 40,000 foot soldiers, right?
Dong Zhiqiang said excitedly, "Your Highness, what about the foot soldiers?" ”
"Foot soldiers...," Guo Tianyi said calmly, "There are only fifteen thousand, and this king only brought two thousand horsemen into the city last night." ”
“???”
“???”
Dong Zhiqiang and others were full of question marks.
A thought popped up in their hearts, "His Royal Highness the King of Han is too bold, isn't he?" ”
Dare to enter the city with only two thousand horsemen?
If it weren't for King Yan's timidity, I am afraid that there would be no return for these two thousand horsemen last night?
With 15,000 foot soldiers, this is only 20,000 horses?
Although the local armies of the princes are mostly rabble, how can 20,000 horses go to quell the civil strife?
Everyone's expressions were unnatural.
It's like being poured cold water on the head.
The enthusiasm just now has dissipated quite a bit.
With only 20,000 horses, it's extremely dangerous?
"Your Highness, the minister suggested that Your Highness take troops to Xieyang City, a hundred miles north of Wunan Mansion, to garrison." Dong Zhiqiang said solemnly, "Wunan Mansion is located in the throat area, if the rest of the princes raise troops to attack, the geographical location of Xieyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the safety of His Royal Highness can be guaranteed, and it will be garrisoned by the ministers here." ”
"Oh?" Guo Tianyi said with interest, "How is General Dong going to defend Wunan Mansion?" ”
These people have no confidence, Guo Tianyi can understand.
But they don't know that the current Central Army is much stronger in combat effectiveness than before.
Equipped with his own improved saber and spear, as well as the blessing of saddle stirrups, his combat effectiveness is definitely several times more powerful than that of the previous Central Army.
Of course, Dong Zhiqiang and others don't know these things.
"The last will be defended." Dong Zhiqiang looked at Guo Tianyi and hugged his fists, "The city is in the people, and the city is dead." ”
"Good!" Guo Tianyi praised, "General Dong is worthy of being a loyal martyr, but this king does not approve of the general's approach. ”
"Please also ask Your Highness for advice." Dong Zhiqiang frowned and hugged his fists.
"This king has a clever plan, and he can win by surprise." Guo Tianyi smiled and looked at everyone, "Li Ming, are you willing to bend down and give it a try?" ”
"I don't know what His Highness wants his ministers to do?" Li Ming came out of the queue and looked at Guo Tianyi and said suspiciously.
Even if Li Ming doesn't know soldiers.
I also know that under the premise that there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses here, we must not only defend Wunan Mansion, but also prevent the northwest princes from making rebellion, and we have little chance of winning.
But if there is something he can contribute, he is not ambiguous.
"What happened in the city last night, most of the people don't know yet." Guo Tianyi smiled confidently and said loudly, "The rest of the princes know that you Li Ming is a loyal person, you can do this..."
Guo Tianyi's strategy is simple.
It was to let Li Ming pretend that there was a civil strife in Wunan Mansion, escape from death, and go to King Lu to move the rescue troops.
King Lu and the others also knew that if King Yan wanted to rebel, they had to clean up Li Ming and the Dong family father and son first.
Therefore, Li Ming can plan as he wants, pretend to be alive and sound, and ask King Lu to suppress the situation.
When he learned that Wunan Mansion was in civil strife, King Lu must have the courage to make a black and black operation.
"At that time, we can set up an ambush in Wild Wolf Mountain a hundred miles away, and we can annihilate King Lu's living force in one fell swoop!" Guo Tianyi pointed to a mountain range on the map and explained to everyone.
There is a great chance that this plan will succeed.
Lure the enemy deep and wait for work, and you can definitely win by surprise.
The cavalry on his side has a strong deterrent effect in that kind of terrain.
Coupled with equipment such as boulders and rolling logs, the enemy army is bound to be in turmoil.
Another charge of cavalry can directly win the victory.
"Your Highness's plan is very clever, and the old minister admires it." Li Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this, and bowed to Guo Tianyi and said, "The old minister will live up to His Highness's trust and complete the task." ”
This trip is probably extremely risky.
But Li Ming is not afraid.
Solved King Lu, which is very beneficial to the situation.
The remaining King of Anqing and the rest of the princes can be defeated one by one.
"Your Highness, the last general thinks there is nothing wrong with this plan, but..."Dong Zhiqiang said loudly, "The number of our troops is too small, and the last general thinks it is better to introduce them into Wunan City and catch turtles in an urn." ”
"No." Guo Tianyi shook his head and said, "This plan is so decided, although the chances of winning in the city are great, but there are also many people in the city, there is no need to increase the unnecessary casualties." ”
Fighting in the city will definitely have an impact on the people.
When the time comes, it is inevitable that there will be abductions of the people.
Guo Tianyi will not take this risk, and there is no reason to take this risk.
Immediately, Guo Tianyi looked at Li Ming and said solemnly, "Li Ming, you can leave, this plan should be sooner rather than later." ”
"The old minister obeys."
After Li Ming bowed to Guo Tianyi, he turned around and left the main hall.
From Wunan Mansion to the Lu Wangzhi, you can reach it by riding a fast horse for half a day.
He'll be there this afternoon.
If it's too late, and the news is heard there, the plan won't work.
"Your Highness..."
Dong Zhiqiang was about to speak, but Guo Tianyi interrupted his voice and said, "General Dong, this king knows what you are worried about, so you come with this king." ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Although Dong Zhiqiang had some different opinions in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.
He doesn't know the combat effectiveness and armament of the Central Army now, and Guo Tianyi can understand it.
If it was the former Central Army, it would be safe to fight according to Dong Zhiqiang's ideas.
After a while, Guo Tianyi took Dong Zhicheng to the camp outside the city.
Guo Tianyi asked his 1,000 pro-army to personally rehearse.
When Dong Zhicheng saw the cavalry's new saddle and the swords sharpened like clay, he was speechless in shock.
With the saddle and stirrup, the cavalry walked on horseback.
Whether it's archery or slashing, it's as steady as an old dog.
Dong Zhiqiang looked at everything in front of him and was shocked to the extreme.
"General Dong, can you be confident now?" Guo Tianyi patted Dong Zhiqiang, who was stunned, and said loudly.
"Temple. . . Your Highness, with such a majestic teacher, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? Dong Zhiqiang said excitedly, "Don't talk about the 15,000 foot soldiers, it is such a cavalry charge, and the minister dares to guarantee that the army will not be defeated by the Lu Wang's army..."
"Good!"
Guo Tianyi immediately said loudly, "Fan Xiong listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"This king ordered you to lead 10,000 foot soldiers to set up an ambush in the Valley of the Wild Wolves."
"The last general commands."
"Dong Zhiqiang."
"The end will be."
"This king ordered you to lead 5,000 cavalry, cooperate with Fan Xiong, and annihilate the enemy army!"
"No!"
Guo Tianyi made arrangements here, and the large army left 5,000 people to guard Wunan Mansion, and the remaining 15,000 people all went out.
The other side.
Three hours later.
Li Ming's face was covered with dust, and he arrived at Huaining Mansion.
This is the seat of King Lu.
"Quick, I'm Li Ming, take me to see His Royal Highness King Lu." Li Ming arrived at the gate of the city and said to the young general guarding the city.
Hearing this, the young general did not dare to slack off, and immediately arrived at the palace with Li Ming.
