"Your Majesty, that's what the minister thinks. Lin Jianyue stayed in Handan without fear, and it was estimated that the Hedong Army had already entered Hebei. The entire Hedong Army is only more than 100,000 people, and even if they are all here, they will not actually threaten the safety of our main force. Xiaochen prepared to deal mainly with Sun Zhengyi and Li Feibu on the front line of the Yellow River. After besieging Lin Jianyue, Xiao Chen transferred a part of the elite cavalry to secretly go south and gather in the Raoyang area north of Enzhou, and the cavalry of Enzhou made a feint in the direction of Handan. Give up Dezhou, transfer the Dezhou army to the direction of Enzhou, and give Sun Zhengyi in Gaotang and Li Fei in Liaocheng a chance to attack the moving Dezhou army, as long as they dare to come, Xiaochen has the confidence to give them a heavy blow! ”

Batusu didn't dare to say that Lin Jianyue was luring and deceiving His Majesty to go south, so he could only make a plan, hoping to do his best to weaken Lin Jianyue's main force.

Li Chongshan was overjoyed and said: "Marshal Ba is worthy of the title of God of War, this plan is very good, just do it according to Marshal Ba's wishes, and then you will take my 50,000 cowardly Xue troops with you, so that you can have a greater certainty!" ”

Even if this battle can achieve its goal, Batusu still does not have much confidence in the victory of the decisive battle, and it is not possible to completely turn the tide with one or two victories. With the current strength of Son Zhengyi and Li Fei, it is impossible to completely defeat or annihilate it, it can only be said that he will gain a certain advantage, and the general trend is not on his side. The battle of Kaizhou in Liaodong dealt no less blow to Batusu than Li Chongshan, and Lin Jianyue could continue to replenish it endlessly, but it took a longer time, but what about himself? Batusu couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

Enzhou is moving, Dezhou is also moving, and Son Zhengyi immediately knew that it must be Li Chongshan who was going south to Handan to fight His Royal Highness.

Even though Lin Jianyue had given him the power to temporarily command the overall situation, he was not as excited as before, and the pressure was very great, which was related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition. He didn't dare to be specialized, so he immediately called Li Fei, who was close at hand, to discuss with all his subordinates and military commanders.

"General Sun, since it was only Enzhou Dezhou that moved and the Daimyo's Mansion did not move, according to the arrangement made before His Highness left, Hao Tianfeng's guards did not move, and continued to look at the Daimyo's Mansion. You and I have a total of 300,000 cavalry and 160,000 infantry, and the strength is absolutely superior. My opinion is that the infantry immediately went north to attack Enzhou, and the cavalry attacked the troops advancing west of Texas. ”

Son Zhengyi shook his head and said: "It's Li Chongshan who is here, Texas Batusu gave up so easily, I think there is a problem, and I don't know where the problem is for the time being." There are more than 100,000 cavalry in Texas, if there is no trap, the speed of westward entry into Enzhou will be fast, and they will not wait for the foot soldiers to keep up or even give up the foot soldiers, but now there is clear news that the foot soldiers of Texas have also left the city, and the Texas cavalry has just passed Pingyuan County now, I don't think it's right. If General Li's style of play is followed, in terms of distance, it must be engaged in the battle at Wucheng next to Jishui, the only way from Dezhou to Enzhou, and I feel that there may be ambushes there. ”

General Li said proudly: "So what? There are only 80,000 cavalry in Enzhou... I heard that the Daimyo's Mansion transferred another 20,000 to the past, even if they came back to ambush, it would be counted as 100,000! In addition, the Texas ones are not more than 2670,000, we have more than 300,000, and there are more than 100,000 elite heavy infantry to cooperate, so we are still sure. ”

"What if Li Chongshan's cowardly Xue Jun also came? You know the speed of the Monhu cavalry. ”

Li Fei hesitated: "Probably not!" Isn't His Highness in Handan? The main force of the Hedong Army is also there, and the cowardly Xue Army should not dare to move lightly. ”

"Military affairs, you can't rely on gambling, not to mention that the enemy army of the Daimyo Mansion has more strength than the Guards, and the Guards may not be able to see it."

"What then? Just do it and watch? I can't see Li Chongshan, His Royal Highness is still in Handan! General, His Royal Highness has personally gone out, we can't stop because of suspicion and speculation, it's not easy to explain to the top and bottom, we can be careful, but we can't help fighting. ”

Son immediately said: "Naturally, it can't be like this. His Royal Highness specially wrote to me to explain that for the time being, I would coordinate and command the three armies, and said that we must not fight a battle that we are not sure of, that is, we will take every step of the camp and consume Li Chongshan. I think we still have to fight, let's have 160,000 foot soldiers, Liaocheng and Gaotang each leave 20,000 to temporarily defend the city to make a good plan, 40,000 go north to occupy Qingping County, which is more than 100 miles away from Wucheng, and the Rao cavalry army will then follow up and protect. I took 60,000 infantry and 120,000 cavalry to the east to fight the plains. If the Texas army retreats to Texas or engages us on the plains, General Li will immediately come to join us and annihilate the Texas army, and even if there is an ambush for Batusu, it will be too late. If the Texas army continues to advance westward into Enzhou, General Li will stay in Qingping to monitor and not act rashly, and I will continue to capture Pingyuan and Dezhou. This requires the cooperation of General Lee, what does General Lee think? ”

Sun Zhengyi was in a consultative tone rather than an order, although Li Yun was a little unhappy that Sun Zhengyi was in command, but Sun Zhengyi explained that this was what Lin Jianyue meant, he didn't dare to mess around, and after thinking about it, he felt that this was indeed safe, so he reluctantly agreed.

"It's just that I couldn't hit the enemy's main force, and I missed the opportunity, and I don't know when I will win."

Son Zhengyi said with a smile: "The decisive battle is a long-term process, and if we fight like this, it will further reduce the scope and opportunities of Batusu's roundabout ambush for thousands of miles, and increase their logistical pressure, which is still beneficial." General Li, His Royal Highness said that the decision to win or lose depends on the progress of Liaodong and Liu Jiahao, once they enter the customs, no matter how they beat Li Chongshan, they will lose! ”

"General Sun, just fighting like this, the enemy army will slowly concentrate in the Handan, Enzhou, and Julu areas, and the pressure on Your Highness is too great, and I am a little worried."

"But that's exactly what Your Highness wants to achieve. General Li, Liu Bingyun is by His Royal Highness's side, very good at organizing and defending the city, and the 100,000 troops around His Highness can be said to be the strongest heavy infantry regiment in the world. There are 80,000 cavalry in Fuyang, and there are more than 100,000 Jinning troops in Wuyang. But I'm still a little worried, why don't you and I jointly write a letter to Hao Tianfeng, Liu Hesheng, Shen Zhixing, Liu Yu and others, if necessary, Fuyang Wuyang's troops can be without, and you and I can also spare our lives when we arrive, what do you think? ”

Li Fei nodded hurriedly, in this way, as long as he ensures that His Highness is fine, it is the same way to fight and end up, and there is no way to do it, His Highness can still dominate the world.

On the edge of Jishui, Batusu watched the Texas army slowly enter the martial city, and couldn't help but be extremely disappointed, Sun Zhengyi is so steady, isn't he afraid that Lin Jianyue will settle accounts after the autumn?

Batusu didn't know, and he didn't live to that time, in the future, there are indeed people who use this to attack Sun Zhengyi's intentions, and it's not one or two people, there is only one reason, Sun Zhengyi with strength is too capable of fighting, it can be said that he is above all the generals of the unified army, how can this be? How can others mix up like this? Although Lin Jianyue protected him and explained it, Sun Zhengyi also had to give up most of his military power and lost his position as the world's number one martial artist.
