Lin Long and Zhao Ying raided Manghuang County and caught Luo Qingyuan off guard, he didn't expect that the bureau he had carefully arranged was really said by Su Qi'an.

Not only did the two not be fooled, but even cooperated with him to act, they calculated what they planned, divided their troops to raid after rounding, and took the reckless county.

The barren county was taken, Luo Qingyuan's situation was not good, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the next step was to encircle and attack back and forth, in this situation, Luo Qingyuan's lure of the enemy deep has completely failed.

If you don't change your style of play, Xizhou is afraid that it will be in danger.

Luo Qingyuan's eyes flashed, and he said softly, "Qi An, it seems that the old man can't stay longer, he has to rush back immediately and adjust the deployment, so the old man will give an order, organize the troops, and take advantage of the other party's unstable foothold to recapture the barren county." ”

Luo Qingyuan's thoughts, but Su Qi'an shook his head and said, "Old Luo, this method is not appropriate, Lin Long and Zhao Ying dare to divide their troops to raid, they must have expected that you will organize men and horses, and now they must have made preparations for attacking Manghuang County." ”

"Even if the Xizhou soldiers attack with all their strength and recapture the barren county, the casualties are bound to be small, and if you really do this, you will be led by the nose, which is a taboo on the battlefield."

Luo Qingyuan's face was solemn, what he said was right, with the other party's experience in using soldiers, it was likely that he would be led by the nose as Su Qi'an said.

"Qi An, what do you think?" Luo Qingyuan asked.

Su Qi'an said softly, "Old Luo, I think the strategy proposed by someone will be more suitable than my idea." ”

Luo Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, looking at the words that were a little unclear, and the next moment, under Su Qi'an's signal, several Heilu soldiers walked into the room carrying a sand table.

Put the sand table in the middle, and at the same time, Chu Qing also walked in.

"Who is this?" Luo Qingyuan asked.

"Elder Luo, this is the strategist that the kid found in Zhongzhou, this time in the Xizhou war, you can listen to his opinion."

"Chu Qing, you also know a lot about the war in Xizhou, and you should have a countermeasure, tell me what you think." Su Qi'an raised his head and said to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing just proposed a strategy against several chiefs, but because he was too radical, he was rejected by Su Qi'an, but it did not mean that he did not agree with Chu Qing's strength.

In the face of such a huge one-state war, Chu Qing's poisonous plan can sometimes come in handy, and he let him retire just now, not to abandon it.

Instead, let him stand on a larger battlefield and give full play to his ingenuity, this sand table clearly marked the distribution of the enemy and us in Xizhou.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Qing probably had some plans, and after being named by Su Qi'an, Chu Qing clenched his fists, stood in front of the sand table, and said softly.

"According to the subordinates, it is not a bad thing for us that the Manghuang County has been taken, and then Lin Long and Zhao Ying will definitely lead the army to attack back and forth, and send troops to Xizhou City."

"If this is the case, the subordinates suggest that they can abandon Xizhou City, retreat their troops to Guangyang and Yong'an counties, and wait until the soldiers and horses in front and behind the place are completely encircled, and then further retreat towards the clan land."

Before Chu Qing finished speaking, there was an obvious uproar in the room, what kind of plan was this? Abandoning Xizhou City, constantly shrinking his forces, retreating, and finally fully withdrawing to the clan land in the west?

What is the difference between this and giving up all the Xizhou, even if you want to avoid its edge, there is no need to be so extreme.

If you really follow Chu Qing's idea and finally retreat to the clan land, even if you gather all your forces and organize a counterattack, I am afraid that there will be nothing you can do.

It's not that the troops are insufficient, but that almost the entire Xizhou has been lost, and there is not enough vast depth, just with a small piece of clan land, it is completely surrounded when it falls, and in a place with a big palm, even if it counterattacks, with the opponent's strength, it is a matter of time before it is eaten.

It is not an exaggeration to say that according to Chu Qing's meaning, it is completely for Lin Long and Zhao Ying to eat the Xizhou soldiers and win the natural assistance of Xizhou.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was brought by Su Qi'an, they all had to wonder if this person was an undercover agent sent by the two kings, where was he here to help them, and what was the difference between making trouble and making trouble?

If you really do this, it is better to surrender at the beginning, although Luo Qingyuan, Su Yong and others don't understand, but they also know the sense of proportion, and there is no gaffe.

Looking at Chu Qing and said, "Chu Strategist, if you follow your plan, what is the difference between this and surrendering?" Isn't this a plan to help the other side? ”

Everyone's questioning, Chu Qing naturally thought, he said unhurriedly, "Lord Zhoumu's thoughts, Chu naturally understands, on the surface, there is indeed not much difference from surrender." ”

"But if you really do this, can the army of the two kings still be the same as it is now? Do you work so closely together? ”

Luo Qingyuan's eyes flashed, and he looked a little ignorant.

Seeing this, Chu Qing continued, "The 100,000 troops attacking Xizhou this time, we all know that they were sent by the two kings, that is to say, this army will have two commanders and two factions, and the soldiers will not be able to reach the same level at all, and listen to the orders of one person. ”

"The first few joint attacks seemed to be closely coordinated, but in fact, the ultimate goal was to take down the reckless county in the rear."

"Manghuang County was taken, plus Hanzhong and Nandu, which were deliberately abandoned by the state pastor at the beginning, at least half of the territory of Xizhou fell into the hands of the other party, and then as long as Xizhou City was captured, Xizhou would be in the bag."

"Think about it, will the two of them be so close in the future?"

Chu Qing's voice stopped abruptly at this point, but everyone in the room instantly understood what he meant.

Whether it is Lin Long or Zhao Ying, the ultimate goal of the so-called cooperation is to take Xizhou, if Xizhou City is taken again without effort, with the minds of the two, the next comprehensive capture of Xizhou will not let the other party interfere.

Even if you choose to cooperate for the sake of temporary stability, there will eventually be a gap in your heart, and a big conflict will definitely break out between the two sides.

In the face of who can take a step ahead and win the great first merit of Xizhou, it is impossible for most people to let others participate in the first step at this time.

Lin Long and Zhao Ying belong to the two kings, who can take Xizhou, they will inevitably be rewarded by their respective masters, who is willing to share this opportunity in exchange for their own promising future?

Moreover, if they take Xizhou City, the army under the two will inevitably expand even more, and there will be no one in sight, and what they have to do is to wait for this expansion to reach its peak, and then give the other party a fatal blow.

Of course, relying on the Xizhou soldiers to shrink the clan land to fight a counterattack is bound to be ineffective, but don't forget, this battle is not only involving the Xizhou soldiers.

The Jiaozhou soldiers in the south, but they are impatient, if Lin Long and Zhao Ying fight because of who grabbed the first credit, the Jiaozhou soldiers in the south launched a surprise attack in the back, and cooperated with the Xizhou soldiers, then the effect is the real front and rear attack.

In addition to not allowing Jiaozhou to be implicated, more importantly, there was no suitable reason to send troops.

But this time, if it is really according to Chu Qing's idea, Lin Long and Zhao Ying are fighting among themselves, then the Jiaozhou soldiers will have the value of sending troops.

The forces of the two states converged, and they attacked back and forth, leaving all the 100,000 troops of the two kings in Xizhou, this kind of blow was fatal, and it would definitely make the two kings quite painful.

Even if the two kings are angry and want to call on the Daliang states to send troops, with this record, everyone has to weigh whether they have the confidence to pay 100,000 troops to die.

Of course, if you want to annihilate the 100,000 army, there is a premise, Lin Long and Zhao Ying must be fooled, otherwise no matter how good the plan is, once it is discovered, Luo Qingyuan's luring of the enemy into the depth is the best lesson from the past.

Chu Qing naturally thought of this kind of worry, he smiled and hugged his fists and said, "In order for this plan to be implemented smoothly, Mr. has to come forward at a critical moment." ”

Everyone was stunned, a little unclear, but Su Qi'an instantly understood and looked at Chu Qingdao.

"Hehe, you actually hit me with the idea, okay, with a big goal like me, I'm not afraid that Lin Long and Zhao Ying won't be fooled."

"Thank you for your cooperation, my subordinates are bound to give Mr. a beautiful fight, everyone will take a look."

……

At the same time, the army of the two kings who retreated to the two counties of Hanzhong and Nandu did not have the decadence and depression they imagined, but their faces were excited and full of high morale.

Just now, they learned that the Manghuang County in Xizhou was taken by their own commander, and with the example of the Manghuang County, the next thing they had to do was to defeat Xizhou City in one fell swoop.

At this time, on the tower of Hanzhong County, there were two men in silver armor, looking at their appearance, they were over fifty years old, not talking about the old dragon clock, but the buns on both sides were a little white, and the eyes were slightly vicissitudes, but they gave people a rather majestic feeling.

These two people are none other than the two commanders who were ordered to attack Xizhou this time, Lin Long and Zhao Ying.

With a smug smile on their faces, the two of them talked, "Hehe, Luo Qingyuan has been shrewd, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap prepared by us in advance, and the reckless county was taken, and Xizhou was also within reach." ”

"Hmph, I said it a long time ago, don't look at Luo Qingyuan's fame, so what? To put it bluntly, he is just a literati, at most he is good at regulating internal affairs, and he knows some power schemes, but in the face of a state war, how can a corrupt literati be compared with veterans like me? ”

"Now, it seems, that's just the case." Zhao Ying on the side mocked with deep disdain.

Lin Long had a different opinion, shook his head and said, "Although Luo Qingyuan has suffered a loss, he still can't be careless about this person, from the current point of view, he has not broken his muscles and bones, at least we have to take Xizhou City." ”

Lin Long's caution, Zhao Ying sneered, and sneered, "Lin Long, I see that your courage is really getting smaller and smaller, and you are so afraid of Luo and a corrupt literati, tsk, how could your King of Jin send you to lead the expedition." ”

"Zhao Ying, pay attention to your proportions, what King Jin, that is His Majesty Emperor Liang, if you are open-mouthed, don't care about me turning my face, is this how your Emperor Liang disciplines his subordinates!"

Lin Long was angry, staring at Zhao Ying viciously and scolding angrily, that feeling as if he was about to draw his sword to meet each other in the next moment.

Zhao Ying was stunned, then a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly apologized. "Ahem, it's not a momentary negligence, you know my mouth, it's a little out of tune, I'm really sorry, please understand, brother, you have a lot, don't take it to heart."
