Chapter 40 Things(2/2)
Hu Cheng was slightly startled, but clearly puzzled.
But Tian Shizhong immediately became solemn, but he took a step forward and said to him: "Liu Taiwei, thanks to the protection of the officials this time, Li Cheng accidentally led tens of thousands of people to be trapped in Jinan. Jingdong is already a smooth road, but
From a military point of view, my lieutenant's arrangements are extremely appropriate, so it shouldn't be considered an underestimation of the enemy, right?"
When Yue Pengju heard this, he did not look at the other party. He just turned around and pointed at the intersection of the surrounding hilly landforms and plain landforms in front of the gate of Linqu City. Then he shook his head and said, "It seems like a smooth road, but in fact, just like this terrain, it's really difficult."
As soon as you walk, you will know that it is still a bit rough... Let's not talk about others, just Li Cheng. This person is very powerful. According to Jiang Ren, he went west with 30,000 to 40,000 people this time. If he thought about it, he would suddenly return to the army.
So what? Will the Jin people really stop him? Moreover, since we send troops, the Jin people will also wake up and say that they have to not stop him, but will formally reconcile and urge him to come over, right?"
Tian Shizhong still disagreed: "That's why my Taiwei asked Taiwei Yue to go to Yidu and Linzi in the north of Qingzhou. It was precisely to ask Taiwei Yue to lead his headquarters as a barrier..."
"I know a little bit about Li Cheng... If I were Li Cheng, I wanted to save my hometown. I knew that tens of thousands of officials were here, but I would not turn around and attack Linzi and Yidu along the Jishui Road." Yue Fei
Still squinting his eyes and staring at the hills on the east side, where the plains meet, he raised his hand and faced it. "I will come from here... to attack Linqu! If Linqu is gone and the Yizhou channel is cut off, not only can Qingzhou be recaptured, but also Qingzhou can be recaptured.
It will turn defeat into victory and lock tens of thousands of officials on the Jingdong Peninsula."
Tian Shizhong was stunned for a moment, and then stopped talking.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk, it's not that he doesn't wake up to Yue Fei's intention... Yue Fei has made it very clear. The key is that after he wakes up, his instinct is to close the door and beat the dog, but he feels a little embarrassed, and then he wants to catch the turtle in the urn instead.
, but even more embarrassing.
I just couldn't find the right words for a while.
"If you say this and let Li Cheng do it, wouldn't it be like shutting the door and beating the dog?" At this moment, beside Tian Shizhong, the awakened Hu Cheng blurted out.
"This is called catching a turtle in a urn." Zhang Xian, who was behind Yue Fei, quickly corrected him.
Tian Shizhong looked at Zhang Xian, who had fought alongside him several times, and Yue Fei also turned to look at his life-and-death friend Hu Cheng. Neither of them spoke.
"Ahem!" At this moment, Wang Gui coughed dryly and looked at Zhang Xian seriously. "Jiedu, if that's the case, are we going to stay here?"
"No." Yue Fei turned around and faced him. "What if we stay here and Li Cheng goes to take Linzi and Yidu? After all, the Qingzhou line is too long from north to south!"
"What should we do?" Tian Shizhong also quickly asked.
"Go the other way, head west from here to meet him, and block him at Zichuan! Only in this way can we live up to the government's trust!" Yue Fei stared at Tian Shizhong and frankly stated his plan.
"I have few soldiers. I wonder if Captain Zhang has any instructions for General Tian before he leaves. Can you come with me?"
Tian Shizhong was silent for a moment. He wanted to refuse, and then moved to Yidu... After all, if his thousands of heavy infantry were to follow Yue Fei's main movement, according to the old rules of the Western Army, he would be the vanguard and die. But I don't know why.
, after glancing at Zhang Xian across from him, thinking of Yaoshan’s experience, he nodded heavily as if by mistake:
"I would like to follow the captain to the west!"
Yue Fei just nodded without saying much, and ordered the whole army to turn around without even entering Linqu. Tian Shizhong also took the post of Hu to stay in Linqu, and led three thousand of his elite troops to accompany him.
The army, numbering 23,000, marched majestically westward along the road formed by the intersection of hills and plains... That night was uneventful, and no enemy was found as far as Zishui.
One day later, at noon, the army was crossing the Zi River. The sentries who had crossed the Zi River first suddenly reported that there was a large group of enemy troops with armor and well-organized troops. They had just come from the hills beside Zichuan City 20 miles away.
It was obvious that he had just crossed the Congshui River, and then crossed Zichuan City without entering, hoping to go directly to Yidu or Linqu!
Look at the flag, it’s Li Cheng!
There is no doubt that Yue Fei's judgment was not wrong.
Afterwards, the two sides' sentinels and cavalry kept coming and going, directly on the hills and plains, and while engaging in fierce sentinel and cavalry battles, they passed on the intelligence from both sides to their respective coaches who were a little unprepared... Even Yue Fei did not expect Li Chenglai.
so fast!
Not only that, soon, as the intelligence was gathered, another thing that put pressure on Yue Fei and the generals was that the number of Li Cheng's troops was far greater than imagined.
There is a sentence here. Li Cheng originally occupied the three counties of Qingzhou, Weizhou and Laizhou in the Puppet Qi Dynasty. He was considered powerful, but he lacked political banners, so he surrendered under Liu Yu. After the battle in Dongping Mansion, Liu Yu's eldest son was captured.
Xiao Yuefei and Kong Yanzhou were killed, but he was the only one who retained his strength. Afterwards, he merged Zizhou into Qingzhou. It was still three counties in name, but it was four counties. Compared with Liu Yu, he looked more like the leader of the puppet Qi... This is actually
The origin of the saying about the five counties in Jingdong is that Zizhou was already in Qingzhou at this time.
According to Jiang Ren, he went on a military rampage in these four counties and raised a total of 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers. He also brought 35,000 troops with him this time, which was much more than the 20,000 that Yue Fei brought this time.
That's why Yue Fei asked Tian Shizhong to send troops to help.
However, according to the report from the sentinels, Li Cheng's troops were densely packed and equipped with horse and foot, and there were no less than 40,000 people! And among them were thousands of people dressed as Jin Army cavalry!
"Lieutenant Yue, before it's too late, do you want to retreat behind Zishui River and stand guard by the river?" Tian Shizhong looked unhappy.
Frankly speaking, Yue Fei was shaken for a moment. After all, he had a meeting with Li Chengguang Jijun and was deeply impressed by this person. He knew that this person was capable and capable, at least no worse than Zhang Rong. It was just a pity.
The ambition was too great... so one of them became a thief from the official family, and the other from a thief became an official soldier.
And for such a person, he has been running three counties in Jingdong for several years. At least the combat effectiveness of the troops is worth seeing... and the returns of the Sentinel Cavalry have also verified this. With an army of tens of thousands, marching into purges, this is not something ordinary people can do.
It is not something that ordinary rebels can compare with.
"Can't."
But after only being shaken for a moment, Yue Fei made up his mind on horseback, even pulled out his sword and waved the order. "One arrow is on the string and has to be fired; two people meet on a narrow road and fight for a breath... You may not win if you meet head-on."
, But whoever retreats at this time will be defeated! Send my military order, and the entire army will be reorganized after crossing the river, and will not stop heading west!"
"east!"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Cheng, who had lost his sword for a long time, his eyes already red, finally slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and then swung it hard towards the east. "The whole army forms an array and press forward towards the east!"
