Chapter 426: Checkpoint Attack
The army of 50,000 is in the hands of Wang Meng, and there are not many people in the world who can defeat him.
In the first battle of Julu, Murong Chui's army of more than 100,000 was pressed to the ground by Wang Meng's 30,000 army and could not move, which has proved his ability.
Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, since you dare to use him, you must believe him!
After agreeing on the time to attack, Li Yue no longer rubbed down, and hurried back to Yecheng non-stop, ready to go on the expedition.
After the autumn harvest, the cold wind gradually rose, getting colder day by day, and the situation in Hebei also became tense.
Although he did not raise an army of 300,000, he also captured more than 100,000 strong men, each wearing a piece of leather armor and carrying a spear, and was driven to the border.
Many people don't even have leather armor and spears, and they hold a stick, even if they are "soldiers".
It is not even as good as the army of thieves and outcasts who are supported by the Liang State.
The fine work sent out is still short, and it is still growing, most of them gather in the mountains and hills, and occasionally come out to attack the counties, but the Yan army is heavily guarded and does not gain much.
Coupled with some of the Hao chieftains and Hao Qiang who supported the Yan State, the rebel army was in a difficult stage of survival.
It is also unrealistic to expect them to defeat the Yan Kingdom, and they still have to rely on the frontal battlefield.
When it was about to enter October, Yang Luo sent a secret report that Murong Jun would raise troops in November, which would also be divided into three routes.
All the way around Lukou, straight down to the land of Qingqi, and then swept through Yanyu, enveloping the Central Plains in the flames of war.
All the way directly from Xiangguo to the south, to contain the main force of the black clouds in Yecheng.
The remaining road is to go south from Bingzhou, bypass Huguan, attack Hedong, cut into Hanoi through Yi County, go down to Luoyang, and attack Yecheng from behind!
At a glance, this style of using soldiers can be seen to come from Murong Ke, Murong Ke is lenient, but he has always been fierce and vicious in his use of soldiers, leaving no room for sparing, and daring to attack, which was the case with Shi Hu and Ma Qiu back then.
This time, he did not attack Yecheng, and went straight to the heart of the Liang State - the Central Plains.
Once the Central Plains was destroyed by the Yan army, Li Yue's years of hard work would be in vain.
If the three-way Yan army wins any way, Liang Guo will lose half his life.
"Who is this information from? Is it reliable? Chang Wei asked.
"It's still the person who passed the information to us last time, Yang Tou'er said that it was either Lu Hu or Lu Hu."
With such important information, Yang Luo sent Zhang Zhu'er to escort him personally.
Chang Wei's eyes flashed, "If it's Lu Hu, you have to be careful, this person is capricious and has no faith at all, and it is very likely to mislead our army." ”
Li Yue said: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the lone general will lead the army to attack Xiangguo first and contain the main force of Yanguo!" ”
Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative.
Many times, whoever attacks first has an absolute advantage.
Liang Yan has been fighting for three or four years, and every time the Yan army takes the initiative to attack, this time it is Li Yue's turn to attack and try the defensive ability of Yan Guo.
"Xiangguo ......" Chang Wei's eyes flickered.
This place is not very auspicious, and it is a hard bone, when Ran Min's 100,000 elites were broken and sunk in the sand, they were hit by Yuewan's fatal blow, and the whole army was wiped out.
Li Yue knew what he was thinking, "Where did Ran Min fall, where did Lone Huaxia stand up, the main force of the black cloud went north, Yan Guo must adjust its deployment, Xiangguo and Yecheng are close at hand, we have a huge advantage in the battle here!" ”
On the other hand, Xiangguo is a knife hanging above the head of Liang Guo, and it is difficult to attack Youzhou without removing it.
That's why Ran Min died here back then.
The reason why Ran Min was defeated was that on the one hand, he was stubborn and self-serving, too superstitious about his own force, and on the other hand, he was short of food and grass, so he had to seek a decisive battle.
And now the national strength of Liang State is by no means comparable to that of Ran Min back then, and after this bumper harvest, Yan Guo was also left behind.
Li Yue's countermeasures were the same as Ran Min's, taking offense as defense, besieging the city and sending reinforcements, pinning down the main force of Yan State, and creating opportunities for the other two routes.
"What His Highness said is very true, but this battle is very important, and the minister thinks that it is enough to send a general to fight, and His Highness will stay in Yecheng to strategize." Chang Wei's tactful persuasion.
However, because of the importance of this battle, Li Yue had to personally lead his troops to face Murong Ke.
Others are just afraid that they are not opponents.
Only Li Yue can inspire the morale of the three armies and bring the combat power of the Black Cloud Army to the peak.
"Ling Jun doesn't need to worry too much, it's not that Ran Min is brave and unscrupulous!" Li Yue comforted Chang Wei.
"In this case, please transfer Xu Cheng and Zhang Hao to accompany you, and then mobilize the Henan Zhuzhou Town Army as a backup." Chang Wei is like an elder, earnestly persuading disobedient juniors.
has analyzed various stakes before, and when it comes to the decisive battle, Chang Wei is still not at ease.
Li Yue was moved in his heart, when he was at the end of his life, Chang Wei looked at himself differently and secretly assisted him......
"Yes!" The biggest difference between Li Yue and Ran Min is that he listens to persuasion.
Immediately, the breath of the great war permeated Hebei, and the Black Cloud Army from all walks of life returned to Yecheng one after another.
The mobilization for war has been done a long time ago, and the soldiers are waiting for this moment.
According to their thoughts, they shouldn't wait so long, after Shuzhou defeated Murong Jun back then, they should take advantage of the situation to attack Youzhou.
However, there was the situation of that year, the major forces around were eyeing each other, Murong Ke's combat power still existed, and Murong Chui had an army of 100,000 in his hands, so he really had no chance.
Now it has been precipitated for a few years, and now it is not what it used to be.
The surrounding forces have been repaired, no one dares to take the initiative to provoke anymore, and the grain and grass in the treasury are enough to support the war for two years.
There are still people in the court who oppose it, and Liu Qi, who is idle at home, joins Jiang Gan, Miao Song, Liu Yi and others to advise: "Now that the people in the country are peaceful, and the recovery of the Central Plains is close at hand, it only takes two or three years, and the national strength can be the most in the world. ”
"In two or three years, what the situation is, who can decide, maybe Murong Jun and Murong Ke will work hard and become stronger!" Li Yue directly rejected them.
There are contradictions in the Yan country, but it has not yet reached the point of destroying the country.
In the past two years, they have expanded wildly, successively annexed and defeated Zhang Ping, Tuoba Shiyijian, Eile and other forces, and then gave them time to integrate the interior, and it is still unknown who will die in the future.
Murong Jun read Ding and the essence was concealed, indicating that he also knew the contradictions in Yan Guo.
He didn't nod, can Murong Ke and Yuewan innovate?
"The decision has been made, this is a national policy, and it is also a military order, and you must not persuade it again." Li Yue's face sank, and the knife was drawn, could he still take it back?
This is not a time to ask for their opinion, but to give them a notice and be prepared.
If you have the mind to admonish, it is better to perform your duties and share the same hatred for the enemy.
Besides, if you don't send troops, Yan Guo will attack in three ways, aiming at the Central Plains, when the weather is cold and the Yellow River is frozen, and you will defend everywhere, and you will be more passive.
If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.
For this battle, Murong Jun also took out the old bottom of Yan Kingdom.
