"What should I do?"

Liu Yanqing was also desperate.

He knew very well that once Tong Guan's grand strategy failed, the unlucky substitute for the dead would definitely be him.

But if you really want to fight, you must not be able to beat it.

His 50,000 or 60,000 horses are now only able to make up the equipment of more than 10,000 people, and food and grass are even more scarce, and there is only a dead end when he gets out of the customs.

He doesn't even have to go out of the pass, as long as the other party desperately attacks, his subordinates will probably abandon the pass and flee.

Liu Yanqing was very confident in his subordinates: he believed that they would definitely collapse at the first touch, and believed that once he forced them to fight, they would dare to hold him hostage and surrender to Dong Huang's army. Of course, if they were given enough equipment and money, they would dare to confront Dong Huangjun head-on.

The soldiers were unbearable, and Liu Yanqing was also helpless.

But let him surrender, he is also unwilling.

His psychology, in fact, is the same as most of the generals of this era, I don't want to surrender Liaojin as a second minister, I can't beat them, I may also be afraid of war or even defeat, but I just don't surrender.

For a while, Liu Yanqing hated Tong Guan so much that his teeth itched.

"What can I do about it?"

Liu Yanqing looked at his sons Liu Guangguo and Liu Guangshi.

At this time, he only dared to discuss with his sons.

"For today's plan, either wait for Tong Guan to lose first, or find a replacement for the dead ghost."

Liu Guangguo was blunt.

"Tong Guan's side, there is an old breed of Jing and a little bit of justice, and there are 300,000 troops, how can they be defeated?"

Liu Guangshi was not optimistic that Dong Huang's army would be able to cross the river to defeat Tong Guan's army of 300,000. After all, although the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is mixed, it is well-equipped, and secondly, it can be regarded as the elite selection of the world, and its combat effectiveness is reasonable; Not to mention, the Seed Master Dao Department is one of the most capable elites in the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, the Yellow River in this season is in the flood season, to put it mildly, as long as Tong Guan burned the pontoon bridge, Dong Huangjun never crossed the river.

"Then send someone to Bianliang to release the wind, Tong Guan is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, he does not dare to cross the river, let Hebei erode, and be occupied by Dong Huang's army, so as to force Tong Guan to cross the river!"

Liu Guangguo opened his mouth and said: "And the eunuch Tan Zhi has always coveted Tong Guan's position, you can send someone to bribe Tan Zhi and let Tan Zhi say more bad things, and then Tong Guan will not cross the river!" ”

"At that time, ......" Speaking of this, Liu Guangguo looked grim: "We will pass the news of Tong Guan's crossing of the river to Dong Huangjun, how can Dong Huangjun let go of this great opportunity?" At that time, Tong Guan's army was defeated, and we took advantage of the main force of Dong Huang's army to annihilate Tong Guan's army, to attack and harass the rear of Dong Huang's army, and finally before Dong Huang's army reacted, we surrendered to Taiyuan! ”

"As long as Tong Guanjun is defeated and we keep Taiyuan, it will be a great achievement!"

Liu Guoguang said his strategy of hard thinking.

"You don't have to bribe Tan Zhen, that will only be self-defeating, Tan Zhi will take the initiative to speak!"

The cunning Liu Yanqing thought about it and decided to partially adopt his son's opinion.

He believed that with Song Huizong's character of great joy and the pressure of public opinion in the Manchu Dynasty, Tong Guan would definitely cross the river, and as long as he crossed the river, Tong Guan would experience the horror of Dong Huang's Liao Iron Cavalry.

The overall direction has been set, and now the only question remains......

"When the time comes, who will be able to scratch Dong Huangjun's back?"

Liu Yanqing asked a very realistic question.

With the current situation of Liu Yanqing's department, it is not easy to select 5,000 elites, and they are all foot soldiers, relying on these people to attack the rear of Dong Huang's army, even if it is successful, in the face of the cavalry of Dong Huang's army who comes to help, I am afraid it will be impossible to escape.

"Wang Yuan has been in battle for a long time and can be the main general; Another young general, Han Shizhong, is brave and powerful, and he was suppressed by Tong Guan, and this time he just gave him a chance to prove himself! ”

Liu Guangshi said quietly.

"Okay, that's it!"

Liu Yanqing finally made the decision.

At this time, Tong Guan, who was far away on the south bank of the Yellow River, was not clear that the plan he had painstakingly designed was doomed to fail before it began. The generals he is optimistic about are not of the same mind as him at all.

Although neither Tong Guan nor Liu Yanqing thought of surrendering, sometimes, infighting is more terrible than surrender.

And what is even more terrifying than the infighting is that some have obviously surrendered, but they pretend to be loyal ministers, such as Liang Zhongshu.

As a person with a correct law, of course, it is impossible to leave the nail of the Daimyo Mansion in Hebei.

Rewind the time to ten days ago.

After Pang De took Xiangzhou and Tai Shici took Zhaozhou, Fa Zheng and the two governors met in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Liang Zhongshu Liang Shijie instantly sat on wax.

His first reaction was to run away, but when he saw the majestic cavalry of Dong Huang's army, he only dared to close the city gate.

Just when Liang Shijie was at a loss, his subordinates were the eunuch Dadao Wenda and the heavenly king Li Cheng came to ask for battle.

Li Chengdao: "The morale of the thief army is booming, and the people in the city are panicking, if you can't defeat the enemy army, the Daimyo Mansion will not be able to defend it!" ”

Wenda is the same opinion.

"Do you two have a plan?"

Liang Zhongshu Liang Shijie is very helpless, military affairs are not Liang Shijie's forte, what he is good at is how to sneak around and slap horses to loot the people.

"It's not as good as a fighter!"

Li Cheng said his plan.

"Huh? Feasible? ”

Liang Zhongshu felt a little hanging.

What age are you, why do people fight with you?

"Tomorrow, you can challenge in front of the battle, if the enemy general doesn't do it, he will show his cowardice! Naturally, morale has plummeted, and we only need to hold out for a few days, and official reinforcements should also arrive. ”

Li Cheng explained.

"Okay."

Liang Zhongshu became a dead horse doctor: "Tomorrow, you two will challenge, and I will personally cheer for you!" ”

"Your Excellency, it's not us who fight."

Liang Zhongshu's words made Li Cheng and Wen Da blush a little, but Wen Da was a little thick-skinned and said: "Suo Chao, the left-behind Si Zhengpai Army, is the first fierce general of my Daimyo Mansion, and he plans to let Suo Chao's master and apprentice go out to fight first to frustrate the enemy's spirit." ”

Liang Zhongshu: ......

"It's fine."

What else can Liang Zhongshu say?

At this point, this is the only way to make a decision.

When Suo Chao and his apprentice Zhou Jin received the military order to challenge the fighting generals tomorrow, the whole person was numb.

Fighter?

What age is it still fighting?

This is not a territory occupied by gangsters, and the two bosses let their leaders cut each other, but a major military event!

He's impatient, not really stupid!

It's just that the leaders have already spoken, and he has no choice but to take his disciples to raise three thousand horse infantry troops to fight.

"I am the Daimyo's Mansion Left Behind Division's Zhengpai Army Suo Chao, a thief general, can you dare to fight with me in front of the battle?"

Suo Chao shouted in front of the formation.

"What kind of officer is the left-behind division?"

Fa Zhengle is happy.

Fa Zheng has also studied the Great Song Dynasty a lot these days, but he really can't understand the official position of the Great Song Dynasty. It feels like it's too messy.

"Probably the equivalent of a horse archer, right? Maybe it's not as good as that? ”

Tai Shici and Pang De were also a little confused.

"Kill it, be clean! This battle is bound to make the Daimyo's Mansion fearful! Lead the cavalry directly into battle! ”

Fa Zheng sneered.

Tan Zhi (?) —？ ), a eunuch in the late Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the Fangla uprising, Tan Zhi was first ordered to lead the army. Later, Tong Guan served as the Jianghuai Jingzhejiang Xuanfu envoy, and Tan Zhi was reappointed as the envoy of the two Zhejiang systems, and the two of them jointly led the troops south. In the fifth year of Xuanhe, after Tong Guan became a minister, Tan Zhi served as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, Hedong and Yanshan Fulu, and succeeded Tong Guan as the commander in charge of the defense of the northern front.

Liu Guangguo, Liu Yanqing's eldest son, the elder brother of Liu Guangshi, the four famous generals of Zhongxing, "Xuanhe Lu", when Jingkang changed, Liu Yanqing and the male Guangguo seized the road to Wanshengmen, and led the squad straight into the West to wait for more than 10,000 people to come out, all escorting the selection of the front. Yanqing was trapped in Jin Mingchi and was killed, and Guangguo took Wang Huang's concubine Zhang to escape for more than ten miles, and the captives chased and killed the concubine and hanged herself.

When Wang Yuan was in Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he was recruited to conquer Western Xia, made many military exploits, and was awarded the third general of Xihe Lanhuang Road by the imperial court, and the right to know Ningyuan Village in Gongzhou. Zhuqiang entered the Kou, Yuan Sui Jing slightly made the crusade win, and moved to the general of Huangzhou Fan Soldier and Zhilin Zongzhai. Later, he fought against Western Xia, Jingkang, and then fought against thieves and other battles, and died tragically in the Miaoliu mutiny.
