Chapter 875: Cut off the back road and take the barren county
"Listen to yourself?" At this time, Su Qi'an's face was full of question marks, and without waiting for him to react, Su Fengling smiled on her face, looked at Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan and said.
"Hehe, the two ladies are not bad, otherwise how could the husband have a soft spot for the two of them, and he did not hesitate to disobey his father's order, because of this, there was a lot of trouble in Kyoto."
"Seeing the two ladies today, this palace can be regarded as acquaintance, and there must be time to get along in the future, so I will give me more advice."
"Hehe, I can't talk about advice, that is, just do what you do." Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
At this time, everyone in the room, who couldn't hear the-for-tat in the words of the three women, everyone was speechless, standing aside and watching quietly.
Su Qi'an smiled bitterly in his heart, he had thought about the scene of the three daughters meeting, but he still underestimated the heart between the three girls.
At the beginning, there were not so many things between Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan, but with the addition of the ninth princess Su Fengling, the atmosphere was different all of a sudden.
Luo Qingyuan, Su Yong, Tong Zhan and others gave Su Qi'an a helpless look.
Seeing that the three girls didn't seem to have the intention of stopping the conversation, Su Qi'an had a headache, his eyes turned to Luo Qingyuan, and he hurriedly said while he was in the gap.
"Ah, I haven't seen you for two years, Luo Lao's demeanor is still the same, it's been a long time."
What Su Qi'an meant, Luo Qingyuan didn't know, if the three girls were allowed to continue to communicate, they would be afraid to invite them to discuss matters today.
Luo Qingyuan's face returned to normal, coughed lightly, and said, "It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, you kid has caused me so much trouble when he leaves." ”
"Okay, since they're all here, you should also know the situation of the war in Xizhou, so let's talk about countermeasures."
Being Luo Qingyuan's generation, the slightly tense atmosphere of the three girls in the room quickly eased, and the three girls all nodded, and then retreated behind Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an could only shake his head and smile bitterly, didn't say anything, returned to his normal color, and motioned for everyone to take a seat.
With the arrival of Luo Qingyuan, Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan, Su Yong and others, Su Qi'an finally had a comprehensive understanding of the Xizhou War.
The 100,000 army assembled by the two kings, with 20,000 casualties, is now temporarily retreating to Hanzhong and Nandu to rest, and it seems that it is bound not to take Xizhou.
In order to deal with the next surprise attack at any time, in Xizhou City, Qin Huai, Ye Chong, Li Hu, Zhao Da and others are in charge, plus the dark web organization of Thin Monkey and Li Xiaomei, the two sides will be in a stalemate for a while and a half.
This is also the reason why there are only a few of them who came to Canterlot, after all, the war is not completely over, if all of them come, something happens, it will be difficult to do.
was substituted by Luo Qingyuan into the main topic, Su Qi'an did not hide it, and said directly.
"I went from Zhongzhou and Jiaozhou to Xizhou all the way, and I learned about the situation, Luo Lao, you didn't let any reinforcements support, and closed everything to the outside world, with only 40,000 Xizhou soldiers, resisting the 100,000 army of the second king, I think there should be a plan."
Luo Qingyuan touched his white beard, nodded and said, "You guessed right, in this battle, the old man wanted to lure the enemy deeper, and then encroach on it in batches." ”
"Therefore, the loss of the two counties of Hanzhong and Nandu was also deliberate, in order to let the 100,000 troops of the second king enter Xizhou, so as to close the door and fight the dogs? Eat it in one bite. ”
"That's right, this is the old man's plan."
Listening to Luo Qingyuan's affirmative tone, Su Qi's doubts in peace of mind were solved.
It is no wonder that the troops of Jiaozhou and the clan land are not allowed to support, just to create an illusion that the troops of Xizhou are weak, and the two counties of Hanzhong and Nandu that have been taken will make the attacking army think that the Xizhou soldiers are vulnerable.
Under the absolute superiority of forces, it will not be too long before it is taken, and with the two counties being taken, it will inevitably cause an army of 100,000 to be filled with high war spirit.
I can't wait to make a quick decision and take Xizhou City immediately, so after taking the second county, I will go all the way south non-stop and attack Xizhou City.
I didn't expect to suffer a loss in Xizhou City, which made the other party feel that Xizhou City was a hard bone, so after a short rest, he would gather superior forces and attack again.
At that time, Luo Qingyuan will temporarily avoid the edge and take the initiative to abandon Xizhou City, creating an illusion of defeat and retreat, and the army of the two kings who took Xizhou City will reach its peak in terms of fighting spirit and momentum.
It is bound to get carried away and make a desperate all-out attack, striving to exterminate the rebellious Xizhou soldiers in one fell swoop, so as to capture Xizhou.
But as the saying goes, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, the more complacent they are, the more they will suffer heavy losses, once the two armies are fully attacked, Luo Qingyuan has already arranged for the Xizhou soldiers to ambush the surrounding and continue to attack.
Divide and disintegrate, little by little, entangle the 100,000 army, and wait until the entanglement is almost the time, that is, when you take them.
Luo Qingyuan's plan is good, on the one hand, it has preserved Jiaozhou and the clan land, even if the two kings are liquidated afterwards, there is no reason to take action against Jiaozhou.
Second, with this plan of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, exterminating the 100,000 army will definitely give a heavy blow to the two kings, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible to send troops to attack Xizhou, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
When Su Qi'an guessed this plan just now, he also agreed with it, but as he went all the way north, after entering Xizhou, he found a fatal drawback.
This kind of lure the enemy is deep, divided and entangled, and if you want to succeed, there is a very important premise, which must be that the other party is willing to take the initiative to jump into the set game.
According to Su Qi'an's understanding, the two generals who led the army this time were not the marquis.
He is one of the few veterans under Erwang who has rich experience, one is called Lin Long, and the other is called Zhao Ying.
These two people are definitely incomparable with top generals such as Fan Wenzhong, Wang Zhenshan, and Wu Dingguo, but they are almost the level of first-class generals.
The battles fought are not much worse than the previous three, and in terms of experience, they can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, and it is difficult to rely on this kind of strategy that is not the top to trick the 100,000 army in.
Su Qi'an's worries, Luo Qingyuan naturally took it into account, he said with a smile, "Even if Lin Long and Zhao Ying are not fooled, it will be fine, the two of them have already entered the territory of Xizhou, and if they want them to give up the meat on their mouths and fully withdraw their troops, it is simply impossible, if it is really difficult to fight, they will ask for support from the Jiaozhou soldiers and the Heilu army." ”
"With these forces, in terms of numbers, the army of the two kings no longer has an advantage, and it is doomed to be exterminated."
"Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, the old man will not make such a decision, and it is really to the point where we need to face to face, and our casualties will be very large."
Luo Qingyuan's arrangement, Su Qi'an nodded slightly, this is also a way to deal with it, but he always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say it for a while.
Just as the two sides were communicating, suddenly, several hurried voices sounded outside the gate.
"Oh no, no, something big has happened."
Everyone turned their heads, and the person who came was none other than the three chiefs who retreated, and if the three chiefs could be so panicked, something big would happen.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, what's going on." Su Qi'an soothed.
The three chiefs took a deep breath, controlling their emotions a little, and then said slowly.
"Back... Mr. Hui, according to the news from the dark web personnel, just half an hour ago, the reckless county town was taken. ”
"What!"
It was none other than Luo Qingyuan who couldn't sit still at this time, and his face was a rare gaffe.
Su Qi'an also looked solemn, and asked repeatedly, but what he got was that the reckless county town was taken, and it was also taken by the army of the second king.
The county town is the south gate of Xizhou, and Su Qi'an is quite familiar with this county town, when he led the men and horses of Jiaozhou, went north to counterattack, and entered the first county of Xizhou to attack, which was Manghuang County.
Who would have thought that the reckless county in the rear of Xizhou would become the target of attack, and how the army of the two kings would unknowingly bypass the eyes of the Xizhou soldiers and hit the rear of Xizhou.
Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, and after a moment of silence, he seemed to think of something, and slowly spit out three words, "Enter Zhong County." ”
"Into the middle of the county?" Luo Qingyuan was stunned, but quickly reacted.
He is a pastor of Xizhou, and he not only knows the counties and counties in his state, but also the counties bordering Xizhou.
Su Qianti's Jinzhong County is not somewhere else, but a small border county in Zhongzhou, and the most important thing in this county is to lead to Xizhou.
"When did Zhongzhou get involved with the second king?" Luo Qingyuan said with a puzzled tone.
Su Qi'an did not hide it, and told his experiences and speculations one by one.
After listening to the narration, Luo Qingyuan showed a sudden look, followed by a burst of chagrin, but he didn't expect that Lin Long and Zhao Ying really staged a good show in front of him.
When besieging Xizhou City, he had already divided 30,000 troops, secretly passed into Zhongxian County, went around to the back of Xizhou, and took the reckless county in one fell swoop, so as to implement their front and rear attacks.
In the battle of attacking Xizhou City, they are the defenders, how can they predict whether Lin Long and Zhao Ying are attacking the city with 100,000 horses?
Even if it was 100,000 horses at the beginning, who can guarantee that 30,000 of them have been withdrawn in the midst of the war, these are unpredictable.
Unexpectedly, he was shrewd all his life, and he was planted in a small Zhongzhou county, to be honest, this is not to blame Luo Qingyuan, let alone him, even Su Qi'an, if it weren't for King Yu and Zhongzhou Mu temporarily reached a reconciliation with the two kings.
There are two kings of cavalry stationed in Jinzhong County, and they don't know anything, and they are really puzzled by the original passing test, and now it seems that the cavalry stationed is the reckless county that monitors Xizhou.
After being thoroughly familiar with the general situation of the barren county, he can act as a guide, directly lead the 30,000 army, and send the army to the barren county.
This time, Lin Long and Zhao Ying have definitely done a lot of work to take the barren county town quietly, otherwise it would not have been possible to take it in such a short time, and even the defenders of Chen Cang on the opposite side did not find any clues.
It wasn't until the Manghuang County, which basically occupied half of it, that it was learned by the defenders of Chencang, and even if they knew, the army of the two kings was not frightened, and waited for the defenders of Chencang to take the initiative to attack.
Once the attack was launched, it gave the two kings a justifiable reason to send troops, and with the urine nature of the two kings, they would inevitably announce to the world, asking the states to encircle and suppress the west and hand over the two states.
This is the real purpose of the two kings, and it is effortless to wait for the Jiaozhou soldiers to be dispatched, so as to give him the opportunity to take the two states.
