Chapter 336: Opportunity
The 20,000 Yan army has been going south for almost half a month, and the cavalry is far more delicate than the foot soldiers, and the war horses need to be served.
After the head is resupplied and recuperated, the centaur will regain its strength.
A famous general deserves to be a famous general.
Although there was no fight in the first round of confrontation, the contest between the two sides was already in full swing.
Right now, Murong Ke has already entered the plain, and the next thing is to see whether he follows or not.
The Yan army was mainly cavalry and had strong mobility, and Li Yue's 100,000-strong army followed behind the buttocks, and sooner or later it would be exhausted and dragged down.
Obviously, Murong Ke has been jumping around all the time, and this is the idea.
"Why don't you transfer Cui Dudu, Bo, and Chen Er to surround and trap Murong Ke in the plain, and then destroy him in one fell swoop?" Cui Hong offered a plan to encircle on all sides.
"This strategy may work for others, but it is useless for Murong Ke." Li Yue shook his head and refused.
This is the second time I have played against Murong Ke, and I also know a little about his military style, and he is the best at turning the tables against the wind and winning more with less.
If Cui Jin, Bo Wu, and Chen Duan all went on several roads, it would give Murong Ke a chance to take advantage of.
People are staring at the fight all the way, but they are afraid that these three roads are not his opponents.
In addition, there are 70,000 horses of Murong Jun in Shuzhou in the north, who can support at any time.
"Instead of attacking, we must hold on to the cities, so as not to give Murong Ke an opportunity to take advantage of it." Li Yue ordered.
Cui Hong said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to catch up with Murong Ke, and the plain can enter the territory of Qingzhou at any time......"
"With 20,000 horses, can he still defeat the entire Qingzhou? Its purpose must be in this king! Li Yue seduced Murong Ke, and Murong Ke was actually seducing Li Yue, waiting for change and seeking an opportunity for a decisive battle.
This is a formidable and tough opponent.
Li Yue did not forget that he was defeated by Ran Min nine times, and he was still able to capture Ran Min alive in one battle.
The Black Cloud Army stayed in Hutou to rest, and Murong Ke did not move.
"Where did Murong Ke's grain and grass come from?" Li Yue was depressed for a while.
It's been so many days, and Murong Ke is still alive and vibrant.
People's food is easy to say, and they can eat anything, but the consumption of war horses is not a small number.
Zhang Shengye said: "There is quite a lot of grain in Hutou, and for its income, Jidong is strong, and there is also support in secret, Murong Jun often supports, and Murong Ke is not short of grain and grass." ”
If you want to cut off the supply of the Yan army, it is basically impossible, and it is the turn of spring and summer, and there is food everywhere in the wild.
Even if Li Yue is ruthless, he is afraid that it will not help.
Murong Ke will not stay in one place and wait for death.
The advantage of the cavalry lies in this, the vast Hebei Pingchuan can allow the Xianbei cavalry to play to the fullest.
Two days later, Murong Ke put on a posture of crossing the Yellow River and invading Qingyan.
The counties south of the Yellow River have not yet been fought, and the letters for help fly into the head like snowflakes.
Murong Ke has been famous for more than ten years and has shocked the northern country.
Most of the town troops in the counties of Qingyan were transferred to Hebei, which was when the troops were empty.
The pressure returned to Li Yue.
If it was just Murong Ke's troops, Li Yue would bite it without hesitation, but the problem was that there was still Murong Jun in Shuzhou in the north.
Lukou Luhu is also one of the factors of instability.
"If Murong Ke crosses the river to the south, it is the way to die, this intention must be to lure our army to pursue, and you can't fall for it! The counties of Henan don't need to be afraid! Li Yue was sure that he would not go south.
It's easy to get over, but it's not so easy to get back over.
As long as the major ferries are blocked, Murong Ke will be the turtle in the urn.
Sure enough, Murong Ke wandered by the Yellow River for two days, and when he saw that Li Yue did not chase after him, he retreated back to Gaotang.
To the west, Murong Chui tried to bypass Wang Meng and personally led 20,000 steps south to the Bai people, trying to attack Liao Tao from the southwest.
However, Wang Meng had already deployed a large number of scouts around him, probed Murong Chui's movements, made a decision immediately, and besieged Murong Chui with Xu Cheng and Gao Yun.
The Yan army on the west road are all elite generals, but the Black Cloud Army is not far behind.
Xu Cheng is the general of the Black Cloud Army, Gao Yun is the rising general, and although Wang Meng is a fledgling, he is extremely old and spicy, and he does not give Murong Trai any chance at all.
The three-way people waited for their work, and they had the advantage of troops, and Murong Chui suffered a small loss, with more than 3,000 casualties.
Li Yue was completely relieved about the West Road.
According to this trend, if you can't get it, Murong Chui will be planted in Wang Meng's hands.
Since there is no need to worry about the west road, Li Yue put all his thoughts on the east road.
Surrounding Murong Ke is thankless, and if he is not careful, he will be taken advantage of.
20,000 horsemen in his hands are enough to sweep the world.
There is a cloud in the art of war: those who are good at fighting will cause people but not others. He who can make the enemy self-defeating, also benefit; Whoever can prevent the enemy from reaching will also do harm.
Pursuing Murong Ke, or besieging Murong Ke is the next strategy.
Murong Ke is like a kite in the sky, and Murong Jun is like a person holding a kite on the ground.
The two brothers worked together.
"Your Highness...... Lu Kou sent a letter. Zhang Shengye handed over a letter.
Li Yue opened it and read it.
I still came to ask for something, but this time he was full of confidence, saying that in order to resist Murong Jun's army of 70,000, he forgot to sleep and eat, Li Yue had to say something, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was 100,000 stone grain and 10,000 head of livestock......
There was a faint threat in the letter, if he didn't give it, he couldn't guarantee that the Lukou soldiers would still be able to resist Murong Jun's 70,000 army.
"This villain really dares to speak." Cui Hong, who has always been gentle and elegant, can't stand it anymore.
After reading the letter, Wei Shan scolded even more, "He will definitely break this guy into pieces one day!" ”
There is no doubt that Lu Hu is cooperating with the Murong clan to put pressure on him.
Force yourself to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, otherwise he Lu Hu will be a moth.
Li Yue stared at the map, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, "Why wait for another day?" Wouldn't it be good to take Lukou now? ”
Cui Hong and Wei Shan were stunned.
Immediately, Cui Hong looked admiring, and Wei Shan was still confused.
Li Yue pointed to the location of Lu Kou on the map, "To people but not to people, Murong Ke wants to lead our army to be exhausted, but he can't fall for his plan!" Lukou, the eastern gateway of Jizhou, if he can overcome it in one battle, can Murong Ke still be so calm? ”
Everything is the same.
The key to this big battle is not in the giant deer, nor in the plains, but in Lukou!
If you take Lukou, you can close the door and beat the dog, trapping Murong Ke.
There are all kinds of signs that Lu Hu has already worn the same pants as Murong Jun, and if he doesn't solve this scourge, he will never be able to deal with Yan Jun with peace of mind.
Cui Hong said: "Shuzhou is more than 100 miles away from Lukou, and Murong Jun's army can support it at any time...... What can I do about it? ”
Li Yue stared at Lu Kou, and the two brothers Murong Jun and Murong Ke naturally would not ignore such a strategic place.
Murong Juntun's soldiers Shuzhou actually have the meaning of watching Lukou.
Once Li Yue's army goes north, Murong Jun and Murong Ke will definitely follow.
If they can't break through this fortified city, the Murong brothers can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Li Yue laughed and raised Lu Hu's letter, "As soon as I fell asleep, someone sent a pillow, didn't Lu Hu ask for 100,000 stones, grain and grass, and 10,000 livestock?" Give it to him! ”
There is finally a glimmer of opportunity for this big war.
