For this Marquis of Wu'an, Lu Yuan was jealous in his heart, naturally there was it, but he was far from being afraid.

Bai Mengyang, the master of the innate second realm, is naturally terrifying. But I'm not bad.

Not to mention the combat power of the innate grandmaster, let's just say that today's immortal path cultivation, although it is still not as good as Anqiu Zhenren, but now it can also cast three or five spells.

Never underestimate a person who cultivates both immortals and martial arts.

Especially this person who cultivates both immortal and martial arts, the cultivation of the immortal path is still hidden, and outsiders do not notice it.

Anyway, Lu Yuan realized that if he fought with this Wu Anhou, he would be lucky, and the other party did not guard against his own spell sneak attack, then he would be sure to kill the other party.

If the other party is on guard, then there is also a fifty percent certainty that there will be a draw.

Even if you are unlucky, the other party's strength is beyond imagination, and it is no problem to save your life and escape.

With such calculations, there is naturally no need to be too jealous of Bai Mengyang.

And this gesture really worked.

Yan Wangqiu and the two of them next to him, seeing Lu Yuan like this, couldn't help but feel ashamed. Then he also cheered up and began to look at Bai Mengyang levelly, no longer as before, afraid and awe-inspiring.

finally has a bit of a kingly bearing.

Bai Mengyang noticed the change in the atmosphere, and couldn't help but appreciate Lu Yuan even more for causing all this.

Then in my heart, I became more and more determined to get rid of this person.

However, the top priority now is to defeat the Zhou people first, rather than infighting.

Therefore, Bai Mengyang also made a kind attitude, pulled the three of them, and entered the camp to participate in the drinking party.

And the armies of the South China Sea and Ninghai naturally have camp tents that have been arranged for people to live in.

After such a big feast for one day, after picking up the wind and washing the dust for Lu Yuan and others, on the second day, Bai Mengyang gathered all the generals to discuss the military.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, now there are 250,000 soldiers and horses in the north, and after my investigation, I have all figured out their distribution."

In the big tent, Bai Mengyang looked at the kings of the Three Kingdoms gathered and the generals at all levels, pointed to the map behind him and said: "This is Jingmen Mansion, this is the southern gateway of Xiangyang County of Zhou State, guarding the henchmen of Jiang Han."

Hold this place, then Xiangyang County is worry-free.

And once this place is lost, our army can drive straight into Xiangyang City.

Therefore, in Jingmen Mansion, the Zhou people stationed 100,000 troops, led by their former Zhu General Zhang Chanyi and Zuozhu General Li Yanjing.

Now most of these 100,000 troops are stationed inside and outside Dangyang City in front of me, blocking in front of me.

In addition to Jingmen Mansion, to the west of this place, is Guining Mansion of Xiangyang County.

This place is the barrier on the west side of Jingmen Mansion, and it is connected to Wushan Mansion of Xichuan County, which is the main road connecting Xiangyang County and Xichuan County, and the location is extremely critical.

Therefore, in this place, there is the general of the right pillar of the Zhou people, and the 50,000 troops under the command of Lian Yun are stationed.

Further west, there is Wushan Mansion.

This house is the east gateway of Xichuan County, the mountains and rivers are steep, and there are more Wushan Xiongguan in the territory, which can be described as a pass, and it is difficult to open for ten thousand people.

Nowadays, Yu Wenchong, the general of the Zhou people, and Li Xiong, the thief of Shu, have led a total of 100,000 troops and are stationed here.

In this way, with Guining Mansion as the hub, Jingmen Mansion and Wushan Mansion in the east and west as the two wings, the 250,000 troops of the Zhou people and the five innate grandmasters are distributed on this boundary that stretches for 500 miles. ”

Bai Mengyang explained the situation to everyone at this time.

Lu Yuan and the others listened to what he said, looked at the atlas again, and couldn't help but understand what they were doing at this time.

After talking about the enemy's feelings, Bai Mengyang talked about his own arrangement again: "Now I am in charge of the Northern Expedition and raise 200,000 troops. The fifth layer has led 70,000 troops, and together with the two national teachers, the troops entered Wushan Mansion to contain the people of Zhou.

The remaining 130,000 troops, including me and Commander Wu Xuanhou, gathered in this Dangyang City to confront the Zhou people.

With such an arrangement, who can compete with the Zhou people, but it is difficult to go further.

Now that the king of the South China Sea and the king of Ninghai have brought troops here, and the prince of Changsha has gone to the front line, then this arrangement can be changed. ”

Bai Mengyang said this, then looked at Lu Yuan and the others, and said: "Several kings, the Zhou people are on the left and right, and they support each other, which is very difficult.

In this Northern Expedition, if you want to break the Zhou people, you must first break its horizontal trend.

And if you want to break its horizontal trend, you first need to break its Guining Mansion.

I want to send an army to attack this place, attack Guining, and then defend this place, cut off the connection between Wushan and Jingmen of the Zhou people, so that it is difficult to connect from end to end.

Then he went north from Guining Mansion and attacked Fangling Mansion in Xiangyang County.

Fangling Mansion is located in the upper reaches of the Han River, once this place is broken, you can go down the Han River, and you can reach Xiangyang City in two days.

With such a soldier approaching the county town, the defenders of Jingmen Mansion on the front line of the Zhou people must be terrified, and it will be difficult to hold on for a long time.

I take advantage of the situation to attack it, I will definitely be able to break this city, and then lead the army to the north, or I can attack Xiangyang City in one fell swoop, and seize the important southern town of the Zhou people.

As soon as Xiangyang County was lost, the Zhou people panicked, and Xichuan County was naturally difficult to hold.

Perhaps there is no need for us to send troops to attack it, and the Zhou people themselves will send an envoy to sue for peace, take the initiative to cut out this county, and recover their lost land. ”

Bai Mengyang was beaming, revealing his strategy and discernment, and then his eyes looked around, and then fell on Lu Yuan.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look away.

Being watched by many eyes, Lu Yuan looked calm.

His heart moved slightly, but he knew that this Marquis of Wu Anhou belonged to himself to be this strange army and carried out this strange plan.

Think about it too.

Now in the coalition camp of the Dangyang battlefield, although it seems that there are 330,000 troops.

However, among the 330,000 troops, 200,000 were people from the South China Sea and Ninghai, and their combat strength was weak. It is just used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's strength, and it can't afford it at all.

There are 130,000 troops left, of which 80,000 are directly under Lu Yuan, originally he was not there, Bai Mengyang, as the commander of the coalition army, can command himself.

But now that Lu Yuan is here, the command of the 80,000 army will naturally be taken back into the hands of him, the king of Changsha.

The other two countries in Ninghai and the South China Sea are also in this way.

In other words, at this time, in Bai Mengyang's hands, the only ones who can really command are the 50,000 imperial court soldiers and horses.

But these 50,000 imperial court soldiers and horses, staying in this big camp, cooperating with the coalition army, and fighting a war of attrition with the Danyang enemy army in front of them, may not be too much of a problem.

But if you want to rely on these 50,000 people to break through Guining Mansion and attack Xiangyang City in a few hundred miles, it will be too difficult for a strong man.

Go north from Guining Mansion, pass through Fangling Mansion, and go down the water road.

On this way, there are many mountains and rivers, and you need to cross mountains and mountains, cross rivers and rivers, and the whole journey of more than 600 miles is all enemy territory, and you don't have enough strength, how can you play such a feat?

And all the way through, if there is a slight accident, it will be the end of the overthrow of the whole army.

If you want to carry out this kind of task, you must have an army that is good at crossing mountains and mountains, can fight in the mountains, and at the same time bear hardships and stand hard work, and has a certain amount of water.

Looking at the coalition army, only those soldiers and horses under Lu Yuan who are from many mountain people, and who usually cross mountains and rivers, can do this.

So if you want to implement this plan, except for Lu Yuan, no one else can do it.

Therefore, after looking at Lu Yuan for a while, and seeing that the king of Changsha still did not express his position, Bai Mengyang couldn't help but get up, came to him, and saluted earnestly: "This plan is very dangerous, and you have to strengthen the army."

The soldiers and horses under the command of the king of Changsha have always been elite, and they are accustomed to mountains, so they are the best candidates to implement this plan.

I know that's a bit of an exaggeration.

But for the sake of the alliance plan, in order to defeat the Zhou people, he also asked the king of Changsha to take command of the expedition, lead the troops north, and attack Xiangyang. ”

Bai Mengyang said in the end, gave a long salute and bowed to Lu Yuan.

Behind him, the other generals of the imperial court glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but get up in unison, and bowed to Lu Yuan: "Please also ask the king to take the overall situation and take command of the expedition." ”

Seeing this, Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange on the side couldn't help but be surprised, looked at the imperial court camp, and then at Lu Yuan, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, this is the right time.

Lu Yuan, who was persecuted by Bai Mengyang's side with righteousness, finally recovered.

"Hah!"

I saw him chuckle, then stood up, helped Bai Mengyang up, and then said with a smile: "Why is Wu Anhou like this?" Isn't it just to take command of the expedition, I should do this. ”

Bai Mengyang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The king is high-minded, and the ministers admire it." Please rest assured, I ......"

This Marquis of Wu Anhou was about to say something as a guarantee, but in the middle of his words, he was interrupted by Lu Yuan: "Hou Wu Anhou will not say this first. I can lead my troops to the battle, but the Marquis of Wu'an must agree to a few conditions. ”

Bai Mengyang was stunned, but fortunately, when he originally spoke, he had expected this, so he reacted quickly, and nodded directly: "What conditions does the king have, but please tell me, as long as it can be done, the foreign minister will never shirk." ”

Lu Yuan nodded, and then said, "First, relying only on the soldiers under my command is a little thin after all. Therefore, this expedition must gather 100,000 people, and they are all elite soldiers.

Therefore, the remaining 20,000 people have to be sent by the imperial court, and they have to be led by Marquis Wu Xuan. ”

This is to ask Bai Mengyang for hostages.

Although they are now nominally allies with the imperial court, Lu Yuanshenzhi has long been hated by the imperial court for his previous connection with Yan Wangqiu and others.

And this time, he was indeed a little worried, afraid that Bai Mengyang would deliberately trap him and want to bury the 80,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

So just in case, you have to pull Yang Jing and the other party's 20,000 elite soldiers and take these people hostage.

With these hostages with him, he can go on the expedition with confidence.

Bai Mengyang also knew that his trust with Lu Yuan was limited, so for this condition, he thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "This matter is okay." ”

Hearing that the conditions of these questions were agreed, Lu Yuan showed a smile on his face, and then continued to mention the next one: "The second point, this expedition, I personally took the hardships and dangers, and the soldiers under my command also bear the risk of losing their teachers and losing their lives.

Such efforts need to be rewarded.

Therefore, this time I sent troops, and the cities captured along the way need to be owned by my Changsha State after the war.

Is this possible? ”

Lu Yuan knew that this time he would execute a strange plan, if he could really attack Xiangyang City.

Then there is a high probability that Zhou Guo will lose Xiangyang County.

Xiangyang is a large county, located in Jianghan, with fertile land and 600,000 household registrations, which is a first-class rich land.

Such a large piece of territory, if it is obtained by the imperial court and recuperates for a few years, it can reliably raise an army of 100,000 here.

With its geographical location, it is located in the north of Dongting County.

In this way, with Xichuan in the west, Xiangyang in the north, and Yuzhang in the east, the imperial court can surround Lu Yuan from three directions.

Such a terrible situation was absolutely intolerable to him.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to talk about the distribution of Xiangyang County after the war.

Lu Yuan didn't want much, he just needed to take a few poor mountainous mansions in the west of Xiangyang County, relying on their geographical advantages, to cut off the connection between the imperial court and Xichuan County, so that the two sides could not echo each other.

Other rich lands in the east and south of Xiangyang County can be ceded to the imperial court.

Anyway, although these territories are rich, Nanyang County, which also faces the Zhou people, and Jiangxia County of the Liang State, the situation can be said to be extremely complicated.

Lu Yuan took these territories and couldn't hold them at all if he didn't garrison an army of 100,000.

But where did he get so many soldiers and horses?

Rather than this, it is better to guard the three prefectures in the west of Xiangyang County, although the place is a little poorer and there are fewer people, but it can't stand this side is a mountainous area, which is the most suitable for him to play with his soldiers and horses.

Just hoard 350,000 soldiers here, cooperate with the defenders of Tianmen Mansion, and watch with an innate grandmaster, it is enough to defend this territory in Jiangbei.

It just so happens that Lu Yuan can meet all of the above conditions.

Now counting the Miao soldiers, he still has 140,000 soldiers and horses, even if he finishes this battle, there are only 1120,000 left, it is not a big problem.

As for the innate grandmaster, the queen of his own family is.

At that time, you can leave 50,000 or 60,000 in Jiangbei, and you can lead it yourself, or let Lan Caier go out and guard the land in Jiangbei.

The rest of the people looked at Jiangnan.

In this way, he can just maximize the combat power advantage of the two innate grandmasters on his side.

The plan was perfect.

It's just that the only question is whether Bai Mengyang, or the court behind Bai Mengyang, can agree to this?

Therefore, after Lu Yuan put forward the conditions, he looked at this Wu Anhou and waited for the other party to reply.

If you don't agree to this condition of self-preservation, then the thoughts of the other party and the court will be obvious.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no sincerity in cooperation.

In that case, what is the need for cooperation?

Lu Yuan simply led his troops back to Tianmen Mansion, guarded this city, and fought a war of attrition with the Zhou people.

As for the imperial court, what about the two national teachers in the imperial court?

Let them be.

Anyway, Lu Yuan didn't believe it, these people dared to turn their faces against themselves.

If the other party really dares, then he dares to directly surrender to the Zhou State and lead the Zhou people south.

Wouldn't they hurt each other?

Who's afraid of whom!

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

After listening to Lu Yuan's request, Bai Mengyang's expression changed slightly, but after careful contemplation, he finally nodded: "This matter is okay, I can agree to the king's conditions on behalf of the imperial court." ”

As the Marquis of Wu'an, except for the general Shen Qiu, he is now the person with the highest status in the court.

Bai Mengyang still has this weight when he speaks.

Therefore, when he opened his mouth, Lu Yuan's heart was suddenly relieved, knowing that this matter was done.

Thinking that after this battle, he was likely to expand the land of Sanfu again, and he couldn't help but feel good.

As the cultivation of the Taiping Dao Book deepened, Lu Yuan also realized more and more clearly that the more territory he occupied and the more people he ruled, the greater the benefits for his cultivation of this Dao method.

That's why.

That's why he made this request at this time, in order to occupy more territory, so that the cultivation of the Taiping Daoshu could become more and more rapid.

At this point, the plan was completed.

So he couldn't help laughing and said, "In that case, then the king has no other conditions." Tomorrow, I can lead the army out of the north, attack Guining Mansion, and enter Xiangyang City. ”

When Lu Yuan said this, he looked at Bai Mengyang and said, "When the time comes, we will have to cooperate with Wu'an Hou." ”

If he wants to make a surprise attack, he will definitely not be able to do it on his own.

If you want to cover up the eyes and ears of the Zhou people and prevent the other party from discovering the real purpose here, it is also very important for Wu Anhou to cooperate here.

Otherwise, only relying on Lu Yuan himself, I am afraid that if he didn't return to Ning Mansion, the Zhou people would detect his intentions and send troops to rescue him.

Not to mention the surprise attack, whether or not Guining Mansion can be defeated is a question.

Bai Mengyang also knew this truth, so he looked at Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange again, and said, "No, the two kings also heard the words of the King of Changsha.

Tomorrow, the king of Changsha will lead the troops, and ask the two kings to send troops to attack Dangyang City with me, so as to attract the attention of the Zhou people.

Gain time for the king of Changsha. ”

Lu Yuan led the troops away, and even took away 20,000 elite soldiers under Bai Mengyang's command. Then there will only be 30,000 people left under this Wu Anhou.

This point, if you want to attract the attention of the Zhou people, you naturally can't do it.

If you want to do this, you will naturally have to cooperate with the South China Sea and Ninghai.

Lu Yuan was also aware of this, so he also looked at his two allies.

And the great enemy who was jealous of him, as well as the allies he relied on, looked at it at the same time, Su Xuange and Yan Wangqiu were naturally under great pressure.

Fortunately, the two of them came with their troops, and they had already made a good plan, and they planned to leave these 100,000 people in the north, and they knew their identity as cannon fodder very well.

Therefore, in the face of this request at this time, the two did not hesitate much, among which Yan Wangqiu said very happily: "The king of Changsha and the Marquis of Wu'an, don't worry, tomorrow I will order all the troops and horses and hand them over to the command of the Marquis of Wu'an."

I don't know much about this battle.

Wu Anhou thinks that how to use it, as much as he can arrange, my country's soldiers, there is no refusal to complain. ”

For Yan Wangqiu, he just wants to end this war quickly, and then return to China with peace of mind and enjoy his leisure.

Now that there is a way to end the war quickly, it is natural that he will not let it go, and he will definitely support it with both hands.

While it may cost you a little more, it's all bearable.

Isn't it 100,000 people?

Even if all these people die here, it is nothing to the South China Sea Country.

The South China Sea has 700,000 households, more than 3.7 million people, and the loss of 100,000 people is not a big deal at all.

After five or six years of recuperation, I recovered.

In contrast, stability is more important to Yan Wangqiu.

And Su Xuange saw that Yan Wangqiu expressed his position, although he was also a little reluctant in his heart.

But Lu Yuan has made such a sacrifice, and as an ally, he can't exert any strength, and he can't say it.

Therefore, in the end, he could only say: "I can also hand over the military power and let Wu Anhou command." ”

"Good!"

When Bai Mengyang heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, stroked his palm and said with a smile: "There are three kings who help each other so much, and it is not far to break the Zhou people this time." ”

When Lu Yuan and the three of them heard this, they also smiled.

It's just that the meaning of this smile is like a person drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or cold.

But no matter what, the strategy of pacifying the Zhou people has been set today, and then it is only implemented.

I only hope that God will bless you, and this battle will be won!
