Chapter 842: The Battle of Luoshui (I)

"General Chang, the war is imminent, the military division is planning in the camp, and he can't greet ...... in person" Qin Yu's voice came from outside the tent, and it seemed that Chang Yuchun had personally arrived at the pioneer camp. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The emperor has an order, everything is based on the battle situation, as long as the army division has the strategy of attacking the city and destroying the enemy, the status cannot be high......" Chang Yuchun said calmly, "Since the army division is planning in the battalion, this general should see it himself......"

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was opened, and Qin Yu accompanied Chang Yuchun into the tent.

Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and other cadres gathered in front of the case, as if discussing the military, and when they saw Chang Yuchun coming in person, they all got out of the way......

"Ah-" Suddenly, her nerves were sensitive, and when she saw Chang Yuchun's face, Su Jia's whole body trembled-she was still the same as before, whenever she saw Chang Yuchun, she couldn't help but tremble for a while.

"Why......" Su Jia's trembling eyes and secretly said in her heart, "Why is this still the case...... Why do I have a ...... when I see Chang Yuchun? That feeling...... Such a familiar but scared face, what the hell do I ...... Where the hell have you seen it...... Why have I been in the army for so long, and when I see this face, I still ...... ...... like this"

Xiao Tian noticed Su Jia's "discomfort", but he was used to it and didn't ask too much, after all, this was not the first time Su Jia had this kind of reaction. Although Su Jia never said why, even she couldn't remember it......

"General Chang-" Tang Zhan and Lu Jing saluted first.

"How are you preparing for the war deployment?" Chang Yuchun also went straight to the point.

"General Hui, everything is ready-" Tang Zhan, as the main general, stepped forward to report, "The vanguard army of 20,000 horses, with the cavalry matrix as the lead, and the supporting infantry to respond, sit at the Luoshui Pass -- if the enemy army is stubbornly defending the city, our army in the shoals will be able to draw water and fight with the enemy in front of the position for a long time; if the enemy army goes out of the city to fight, our army can also take advantage of the fact that the shoals are easy to advance and difficult to retreat, and set up an ambush, which will make the enemy army ride back and forth!"

Lu Jing recovered her expression and responded excitedly: "Please rest assured General Chang, the siege of Luoyang in the first battle is bound to be won, there is no need to go through a lot ......of trouble, the vanguard elite soldiers are enough! General Chang only needs to sit in the rear and wait for the good news."

"Okay, General Ben just wants to hear your determination!" Chang Yuchun said excitedly, "If Luoyang is taken within the planned day, General Ben will be rewarded!"

"General Xie—" everyone replied in unison.

"Order, tonight, the vanguard army will send to Luoyang!-" Chang Yuchun finally ordered.

"Yes-" The generals are in unison, determined to win......

After Chang Yuchun left, Lu Jing continued to recover her rigor and meticulously looked at the map of the city pass in front of the case. Seeing Lu Jing's rejuvenated expression, Tang Zhan was deeply pleased, and slowly walked to Lu Jing's side, and couldn't help asking, "Jing'er, what are you thinking?"

"The shoal is dangerous, located between the city pass and our army, which is convenient for ambush. Those who know a little about the art of war will take the initiative to seize this place, and the enemy and me should know it......" Lu Jing analyzed in a low voice, "If I guessed correctly, the enemy army will not stand still and defend the city tonight, but will lead the main force to seize this place with our army......"

"Jing'er, what do you mean is that this shoal is a battleground for both the enemy and us, and whoever grabs it will have the upper hand?" Tang Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"That's right-" Lu Jing replied affirmatively, "If the two sides exchange fire here, it will inevitably be a fight of all the main forces - the success or failure of this battle is a matter of success or failure, and only victory is allowed, not defeat......

"That's simple, let's send our troops early, send the most elite troops, if we arrive early, we will hold a strict garrison, and if we encounter enemy troops, we can defeat them with overwhelming forces-" Xiao Tian said calmly and confidently.

"It's simple, but don't underestimate the enemy......" After the tragic battle of Bianliang, Lu Jing became more rigorous in his calculations, and he must ensure that every detail is perfect, and only after the safety of the soldiers is guaranteed, he dares to use troops, so Lu Jing pondered, "Luoyang is still guarded by elite soldiers after all, unlike before the battle of Bianliang, Zuo Junbi surrendered half of the ......"

Tang Zhan watched Lu Jing's nervous expression on the side, knowing that she was still "guilty" for the sacrifice of Zhao Zichuan and others, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart......

"By the way, if the enemy army goes out of the city to meet them, who will their lord be?" Lu Jing looked up and asked.

"Before the spies came to report, it was Lu Xing, the prince of the imperial court, who was stationed in Luoyang, and the former Jinan guard general Timur, that is, the younger brother of Timur of the expansion......" Xiao Tian responded.

"Kuangku Timur......" Hearing this name, Lu Jing remembered Wuliang Toduo - Uliang Toduo was also a subordinate of Kuangku Timur during his lifetime, and it was his trick that killed Li Yuru and Zhao Zichuan......

"It is true that Timur is a Mengyuan Yingjie, but his younger brother is just a mediocre general...... Qin Yu said easily and confidently, "I have a fight in the first battle of Jinan, and I have no ability, and I have not yet started fighting, so I abandoned the city and fled, this kind of person has no future...... In addition, Luoyang has no generals, if the enemy army goes out of the city to fight, relying on his brother's reputation, he will not be wrong......"

"No, you must not take it lightly-" Lu Jing didn't dare to relax, and even said a little too nervously, "Since his brother is Kuangkor Timur, it cannot be ruled out that he, like Uliang Todo, will receive instructions from Kuangkor Timur...... We can't underestimate the enemy, and we must fully grasp the battle in the Luoshui Shoal!"

"I heard that Luoyang is too guarded by Lu Xing Lu Guogong, he is seriously ill, he can't stand up, and he will die soon, he will definitely not lead the troops in person......" Su Jia was silent for a long time, and suddenly mentioned on the side, "That is to say, in the entire Luoyang, only Timur is qualified to confront us reluctantly, Sister Jing, don't worry too much......" Su Jia also saw that Lu Jing was too nervous, and comforted and reminded.

"I ...... Too nervous...... ......Lu Jing eased her breath, thinking about her solemn expression and overly worried appearance just now, knowing that she was still depressed in the grief of the Battle of Bianliang, she couldn't help but feel cold and weak a few times.

"Miss Su is right, the most capable general in Luoyang is just a defeated general under Brother Qin, and it is only a matter of time before Luoyang wins the first battle......" Tang Zhan comforted on the side, "Jing'er, you are too tired these days, just leave the battle of Luoyang to us, you can rest in the camp and contribute to us at the same time......"

When Qin Yu saw this, he also confidently comforted: "Don't worry, Sister Jing, just leave it to me in the first battle of Jinan, you sneaked into my military camp, aren't you confident that I can take the city without fail? It's the same this time, when I personally take the head of Timur, come back and tell you the good news!"

Lu Jing didn't say anything, just nodded silently, then sat on the couch and stroked her forehead to recuperate......

"Is it really that I think too much...... Lu Jing said secretly in her heart, "I always feel that the battle in Luoyang doesn't seem to be so simple......"

After discussing for a while, Tang Zhan, Qin Yu and others led the main army to send troops to Luoshui Shoal in advance to occupy the dangerous pass. And Lu Jing was in the back camp, resting while always paying attention to the progress of the war......

Luoyang, the general's mansion ......

"Lord Timur, I don't know what important thing you are looking for?" Lu Ling came to the General's Mansion, temporarily withdrew his "unruly" character in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was respectful to Timur - but not flattery, Lu Ling's expression was cold and serious, everything was focused on the overall situation, while discussing the military, he did not let go of his vigilance against Timur.

Naturally, Timur had a grudge against Lu Ling, but he didn't show it - not to mention, his brother explained his task, and he had already thought of a strategy, on the one hand, he could "seize military power", and on the other hand, he could put Lu Ling to death......

"General Lu, I was disrespectful to Lu Guogong in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and I ask General Lu to forgive me......" Timur hid his sword in his smile, and said politely in front of Lu Ling, "Now that the enemy is present, we must unite as one before we can lead the troops to garrison the city, and I ask General Lu to let go of the ...... for private grievances."

Lu Ling looked at Timur's expression, and his doubts were also expected--not at all like his usual demeanor, there must be a ghost in Timur's heart...... "Don't say polite words, the war is imminent, of course, the overall situation is the most important......" Lu Ling wanted to see what tricks Timur was playing, so he asked with the plan, "According to the report from the spies ahead, Chang Yuchun's 50,000 troops have arrived at the Luoshui Pass, I don't know what your lord's plan is to garrison the city?"

Timur smiled slightly, and said deliberately modestly: "I often hear Lu Guogong's saying that Lu Ling's son is young and intelligent, and he reads through the art of war, and he is very proficient...... The foolish general is not talented, and I want to ask General Lu for a lesson or two-"

Because Timur was so "attentive", Lu Ling was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to let go of his vigilance, so he didn't respond for the time being.

Deyin Timur saw Lu Ling's heart and knew that he was wary of himself, but he had already expected it, and he had a "plan" ......in his heart, "General Lu can rest assured, just ask for advice on the use of soldiers, and it will not kill General Lu...... you" Deyin Timur continued to laugh and said, "If General Lu doesn't believe it, it's a big deal to let General Ben wave his troops to the front camp, and General Lu will command in the back camp, so you can rest assured......"

Lu Ling thought that under such conditions, Timur couldn't play any tricks, so he let down his vigilance...... "Okay, since Lord Timur values the last general so much, it is not impossible for the last general to use it......" At present, the overall situation is important, Lu Ling still said calmly and seriously, "As you can see, the Spring army often encounters the Luoshui Pass, which is intended to be in Luoyang, and the ultimate goal is here, but what you can fancy is the area of the shoals in front of the Luoshui Pass-" Lu Ling said while gesturing the map on the table.

"Shoal?" asked Taein Timur, pretendingly.

"That's right-" Lu Ling said meticulously, "This shoal is easy to attack and difficult to retreat, the confrontation between the two armies who grabs the terrain first is the first opportunity, once the lagging side cannot be attacked, it will be difficult to retreat, and the main force will bury the shoal...... Therefore, according to the usual art of war, while the enemy army has not moved, the main force of our army must attack with all its strength and swear to take the shoal!"

Lu Jing guessed correctly, and the main general of Meng Yuan also thought of this.

"What does General Zhaolu mean that now our army will immediately send troops to seize the shoals?" continued Tayin Timur.

"No, we did send troops, but it was not a seizure, but a feint!-" Lu Ling suddenly said an astonishing sentence.

"Feint?" Timur knew a little about the art of war, and after listening to Lu Ling's strategy, he was also curious, "What kind of feint?"

Lu Ling continued: "We can think of seizing the shoals, and the enemy army can naturally also think that since they are all strong attacks, the disparity between the forces and the generals is fierce, and the victory and defeat of our army are naturally low...... That being the case, we might as well confuse them and make a feint to lure them -- under the pretext of sending troops to the shoals, in fact only a small number of troops will appear in front of the enemy; the lights are not bright at night, and the enemy troops cannot see clearly the number of our troops, thinking that the main force is exhausted and seizing the pass, so it is natural that they will be 'full of confidence' to win by force...... At this point, our army's feint attack force turned around and retreated, and the enemy army must think that our army has failed to seize the beach, the main force has withdrawn, and it is difficult to retreat in the shallows, and the enemy army will surely pursue the whole army at this time -- but in fact, only a small number of troops have retreated, and the real troops will be ambushed on the road of pursuit; the terrain of this ambush is similar to that of the shoals, and it is easy to attack and difficult to retreat; once the enemy's main force pursues and falls into an ambush, our army suddenly counterattacks, and the enemy will realize that it will be too late, and if they want to retreat again, they will be stuck in the shoals and it will be difficult to retreat, and our army will be able to win a great victory!"

After hearing this, Timur was able to come up with such an unexpected "plan within a plan", and couldn't help but admire Lu Ling's strategy and courage, and almost forgot his true purpose - it seems that what ordinary people say is right, Lu Ling is indeed a military genius who combines wisdom and courage, and is both civil and military......

"General Lu's clever plan is also-" Timur slapped the table excitedly, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, General Ben admires it, so he will move troops according to General Lu's words!"

Hearing this, Lu Ling's brows couldn't help but tighten...... "Since this is the case, who will be sent to act as the main general of the feint attack and take the lead in taking risks......" Lu Ling asked skillfully, if the budget in his heart was to let Timur let himself lead his troops to feint, he did not rule out taking this opportunity to betray himself, not to ambush, and put himself to death with a strange heart, and his heart was very nervous.

Deaffinated Timur saw Lu Ling's eyes, as if he had thought of something, and the corners of his mouth raised...... "Since it is General Lu's clever plan, then as the main general of the feint attack, it is natural to ......" Dedue Timur said slowly, "General Ben will personally take the responsibility-"

"Hmm......" Lu Ling was surprised for a while, his eyes were surprised, he didn't expect to get such an answer from the mouth of Timur.

Deyin Timur continued to laugh and said: "General Lu's strategy, this general should implement it, since this is the case, ambush is the most important strategy, free General Lu, you personally transfer troops." And General Ben is in danger alone, leading his troops to the front line to deal with the enemy, and at that time, we have to count on General Lu to save the danger to General Ben......"

Lu Ling was in a daze on the side, and didn't speak for a long time...... "How can it be...... This ...... was completely opposite to Lu Ling's expected result, and Lu Ling was even more uneasy in his heart, "This ...... Is it really decaffeinated Timur? No...... He actually led his troops to take the lead and make a dangerous situation, let me ...... In the backup ambush, is not supposed to ...... On the other hand, take the opportunity to plot against me? Is it really that I am 'living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain'...... But why, why ......"

Seeing Lu Ling's "doubts", Timur couldn't help but smile and asked, "General Lu, is there any problem?"

"Uh...... No, no, there is no ......" Lu Ling immediately came back to his senses and responded alone.

"If not, move the troops immediately," Timur said solemnly, "As General Lu said, time is pressing, and the Luoshui Shoal has the advantage of taking the lead, if you want to feint and deceive the enemy, you must make an appearance, so that the enemy thinks that we really want to seize the shoal......"

"Good...... Okay, the last general will leave immediately......" Lu Ling hurriedly agreed......

"Let's take one step at a time......" On the way to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and prepare to move the army, Lu Ling's heart still did not stop, "If he really wants to harm me, I should take the lead in committing danger, but he took the lead in the feint attack by himself...... Although I am not very relieved, he led the troops to feint in front, at least there is no way to harm me, and there should be no problem for the time being...... Now that the enemy is present, it is better to work together to resist the enemy army......" Gradually, Lu Ling relaxed his vigilance against Taeki Timur......

However, in the general's palace, Taeki Timur seems to have other plans......

"Hmph, it's really a military genius, thinking of such a plan, General Ben admires it......" Timur sorted out the armor of the expedition, and said secretly in his heart, "But do you think that I can't put you to death in this way...... I said that I am here to be the main commander of the feint, but I just want you to let your guard down...... Look, even if I go to risk, there is still a way to kill you, and your seemingly 'plan will be planned' is exactly what I want...... You are a genius in the art of war, but you are too tender compared to calculating people's hearts......"

After saying that, Tayin Timur showed a hideous smile...... (To be continued.) )
