Chapter 987 The Greedy Regent
“Are you thirsty?”
“No.”
“Are you hungry?”
“No Hungry.”
"Are you sleepy?"
"Not sleepy either."
The sword master who had just returned sat there and looked at Zheng Fan, who was greeting him with greetings.
Zheng Fan also looked at him,
Then,
They both laughed together.
Zheng Fan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said:
“Oh, you don’t know that you are not living in the tent next to me. I can't stand still."
The Sword Master said: "I heard when I came back that during the decisive battle, the regent. I charge forward and lead the heavy armored cavalry into the battle. It doesn’t look like I’m not eating well at all.”
“Rumors, they must be rumors; you know, Lao Yu, the soldiers below. , they like to make me a myth, making up stories every day about me being brave here and invincible there;
How dare I shrink back when you are by my side, let alone when you are not around.
Don’t listen to the nonsense below. "
"Okay, I'll beat my son up later. "
"That's all, after all, the bodyguard has grown up and the child has grown up, so let's save some face for the child. "
The Sword Master took the tea cup from Zheng Fan and said:
"This time I met a group of people with mysterious origins, the kind you have mentioned before."
"Did we fight?"
The Sword Master shook his head: "No, they didn't give it to me. This opportunity is difficult to confirm yet.”
“It’s confirmed, it must be them who are so cowardly.
I also met them here. There seemed to be quite a few of them, but they were mostly Qigong practitioners and few martial arts swordsmen. Some.
I've put the blind man in charge of investigating. "
"Hmm. "
"Although they are cowardly and cowardly,
but they are always hanging around outside. I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. It is best to solve it if I can find a chance to solve it. , even give them prunings. "
"You have to catch their sore feet. ”
"Well, but for now, it's just a minor trouble. In the face of the general trend, they can't jump very high."
"After what happened in Chu State, is it over?"
"It's like a fifth-grade swordsman who has his arms broken. You can say he is strong. He is, but you Let’s talk about how powerful he can be, but he is really not that powerful.
Chu State is almost in this state now;
After all, there are hundreds of thousands of elites, not just a few dozen. An army of ten thousand is not a population of hundreds of thousands. It is difficult for these elites to make up for it
If it doesn't take five years, he won't be able to recover at all, and even if he is given five years, unless there is civil strife in Dayan, it won't be able to bite anyone.
It would be a bit troublesome and not worthwhile to continue fighting. "
"How do you feel about this rich battle? ”
“Comfortable. ”
Zheng Fan sat down on his handsome seat, crossed his legs,
"With strong soldiers and strong horses, and sufficient logistics, unless the general is in trouble, he will be invincible purely from a war perspective."
In this round of the Yan-Chu national war, Dayan's army's combat effectiveness , logistics, and general level, all three aspects were steadily superior to the Chu people. In the end, supplemented by conspiracy, the Chu people were forced to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle.
"You are becoming more and more humble." The Juggernaut said.
“Didn’t I before?”
“It’s okay.”
At this time, Liu Dahu came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Huang is here to say goodbye."
"Yes."
Eunuch Huang came in and knelt down to salute;
It stands to reason that he is ordered to supervise the army and is on the same level as the commander-in-chief of the first army, but this is not the case in front of the man in front of him.
“Now that the war is over, I have come here to say goodbye to the prince so that I can return to the capital and tell His Majesty what happened on the battlefield.”
"How's the injury?"
"I'm scared that this little injury bothers Your Majesty to take note of it. Your Majesty, don't worry, my slave is rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so it won't be a problem to raise him."
" Don't worry about anything. Next time I go on an expedition, I will miss you, Eunuch Huang."
"I thank you for your kindness and appreciation. This servant's heart belongs to you, Your Majesty. In the future, if you are short of side dishes while drinking, just send someone to tell the servant, and the servant will immediately dig out the heart, chop it up, mix it with sesame oil, and serve it to the prince himself. "
Zheng Fan smiled and said. : "When Wei Zhonghe said that this king could speak, Gu really believed him; now it seems that Gu Li, the father-in-law who came out of the palace, is still far behind."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely try my best to squeeze on that old guy Wei Zhonghe when I get back."
Eunuch Huang is equal to Eunuch Wei in terms of qualifications, but he has never been as distinguished as Wei Zhonghe in terms of errands. Naturally, he did not dare to do it in front of Wei Zhonghe before. Canada;
It has long been different now. The military merits of several military supervisors have been infiltrated, which is equivalent to magical power to protect the body. In terms of status, it is already transcendent;
"By the way, there is a letter here for your majesty."
“The slave takes orders.”
Eunuch Huang stepped forward and put the letter into his sleeves, his expression as usual.
Between Yanjing City, Fengxin City and Shuai Zhang, there were already messenger riders running around day and night, but they had to deliver the letter themselves. Obviously, this letter was unusual.
"What else does the prince have to say to his servants?"
"You have a safe journey."
Eunuch Huang knelt down again:
"I thank you for your kindness. Your Majesty, you have to take care of your health. I'm back."
As soon as Eunuch Huang left the handsome tent, Liang Cheng walked in. He had obviously arrived before. Waiting outside.
"Your Majesty."
"Come, come."
Zheng Fan stood up, walked down from the commander's seat, and ordered:
"Dahu, map."
"Here."
Liu Dahu spread the map on the ground.
"A Cheng, you didn't win the battle this time, are your hands itchy?"
"My subordinates are fine, as long as the master wins the battle."< br>
"Never mind, you have worked so hard to train for so many years, how can you just lay eggs and not eat fried rice."
"Ha."
The Sword Master Ninja next to him Couldn't help but laugh.
Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment and seemed to think that he should smile, so he smiled.
“You figure it out, how many troops and horses we can deploy here now, on the premise of stabilizing the situation.”
Liang Cheng looked at Zheng Fan and said doubtfully:
"What does the Lord mean...that we should continue to use troops?"
"Otherwise?"
"It should be It’s not about continuing to attack Chu.” Liang Cheng said.
"The Chu Kingdom is completely left with no bones and no meat. It will not only waste time but also be uneconomical to chew on it." Zheng Fan walked to the side of the map and stepped on the territory of the Qian Kingdom with the soles of his boots.
< br>
"It's the fattest."
Liang Cheng did not directly dissuade him. As a general, when the commander proposed a combat goal, he instinctively began to enter the mode of the war planning stage:
"Master "Come on, where are the logistics?"
"The war between Yan and Chu, our Jin Dongzi brought the first batch of logistical needs, and Xu Wenzu sent two batches. The first batch was used, and the second batch just arrived, which can sustain the army until the beginning of spring.
Originally this time. The national war was prepared for two years, but now it is over in less than half a year
If nothing else goes wrong, the imperial court's third batch of military supplies that was supposed to be shipped to the front line here should have stopped at Nanmen Pass. "
Zheng Fan stepped on the south gate with his left foot.
"What about the strategy? "Liang Cheng asked.
"In the early years, Ganren relied on the three-sided defense line to stop the Yan army from going south from the front. And even if the Yan army bypassed the three sides and went deep, the logistics would be blocked by the three sides. There is no way to talk about it, and he may even be killed by someone else.
At most, it’s like being a thief, entering the house to steal something. You still have to go out before dawn. When you go out, you have to worry about being slapped unexpectedly by the owner.
The weakness of Qianguo's three-border defense line is actually at the South Gate Pass.
Originally, this area was the territory of the Jin State. After hearing about their sphere of influence, after the three Jin lands were included in the territory of Yan, the opening of Nanmenguan was directly opened.
It can be said that half of Ganren's three-border defense line is useless here.
When the Qianchu coalition forces in the Liang-Zhao land counterattacked, they also wanted to block the opening here. After all, in the subconscious of the Gan people, they still felt that the three-border defense line was the safest and most reliable. In other words, it was also It protected them for hundreds of years.
The last time I entered Qiang, I also entered through this opening, and then went south to steal his Shangjing.
This time,
I plan to let you choose one hundred thousand elite cavalry, withdraw from this battlefield, go to Jin, and pass through Nanmen Pass. That old boy Chen Yang did not transfer this time. His men, We also have the foundation of 50,000 old Jingnan troops, and I will give them to you as well.
In addition, I will ask Gou Moli to mobilize his Fan Cheng army, cross Qishan, pass through the land of Liang and Zhao, and join you.
With this, you will have 200,000 cavalry at your disposal.
If conditions permit, you can try to knock down Lanyang City, the gateway to the northeast of Ganren, and then cut across it, not to go south, but to isolate the three sides.
In addition, there are troops led by the eldest prince and Li Liangshen in Yinlang County, who can exert pressure from the north.
This time,
let’s have a meat-filled bun directly with Ganren’s three sides. "
After talking about the strategy, Zheng Fan looked at Liang Cheng and asked, "Is there any problem? ”
“Very risky. "Liang Cheng said.
"Which aspect?" Zheng Fan asked.
“My subordinate’s 200,000 troops.”
“Oh?”
“First of all, the Lord said that he would allocate 100,000 troops to his subordinates. They just After going through the war, I still haven’t had time to rest, After a long journey away from the battlefield, across the entire Jin region, and out of Nanmen Pass, by the time we arrive at Lanyang City, we must be exhausted of men and horses;
No matter how elite the army is, it will easily fall apart
In addition, the troops supported by Jin this time were mainly elite. Although some of the garrison did not turn out in full force, under the dual pressure of the Lord's royal order and the imperial edict, the troops provided were also the direct descendants of the elite.
Chen Yang’s place is no exception.
So, my subordinates believe that Chen Yang can gather 50,000 soldiers and horses, but the elite... is unlikely.
Furthermore, after the Three Kingdoms War, Chen Yang’s old Jingnan army suffered too much damage. Although the soldiers have long since recovered, they are by no means the Jingnan army that the Lord was accustomed to and knew back then. military.
After all, King Jingnan has been away for so many years.
Gou Moli's branch had just been in love with Xie Zhuyang for several months on the second battlefield. The old man did another favor and gave the elite of his direct line to Xianba and Tiantian for fun;
Now let him gather his troops and horses, cross the mountains and ridges to join me at the foot of Lanyang City. Can his troops and horses still fight?
So what the Lord gave me was not 200,000 cavalry, but... 200,000 tired troops.
The new armies that the Gan people had formed and trained back then, the Zu Family Army, the Meng Family Army, the Han Family Army, the Zhong Family Army, and the Le Family Army, all had to withdraw to the dry land during the Three Kingdoms War, and Without encountering any real trauma, it has only grown bigger over the years.
If I were the coach of Ganren, I would not choose to retreat from the beginning this time, but would try to take the initiative to play a few games. After all, they were not there when we went to Beijing to break;
From a purely military perspective, they still maintained the psychological construction they had when Li Fusheng was annihilated in the Battle of Liangdi, and they dared to fight.
Therefore, if your subordinates want to bluff their tired masters, it will be difficult to really scare them. "
"You mean, you can't fight? "
Liang Cheng shook his head and said: "You can beat him down. After all, Ganren would never have dreamed that your Lord would have such a big appetite and greed. You would turn around and beat him right after you defeated Chu State;
Just the words 'surprise' are actually worth a fight. ”
"So."
Zheng Fan put his arm around Liang Cheng's shoulders and said
"When the troops are strong, I will lead them. It's no problem, you don't have to be here;
And the scene I just talked about must be you. Without you, I would not dare to be so greedy. ”
"It's just that my subordinates feel that there will be some losses." Liang Cheng muttered, "We can achieve results, but the results will not be too great. In the end, we may still be in vain and consume the wealth we finally saved.
If I want to kill someone, I will confront Yinlang County on three sides, and those few field armies will specifically face the army led by my subordinates.
< br>Everyone ended up fighting for their lives again
The rich land of the Gan people is in the south of the Yangtze River. Unlike the Chu people, they fight with us in the north where the most important place is. The Gan people are more powerful than the Chu people. Lasting.
If the stalemate lasts, Yan and Jin will have to tighten their belts again, and everything will return to before.
Overall, not worth it. "
Liu Dahu was holding a pen next to him, carefully recording the military meeting.
The sword master was sitting on a chair, listening with interest.
" Haha . ”
At this time, Zheng Fan smiled,
The sole of the boot first touches Wenqiu County, where the commander's tent is now, and then pulls down to the southwest, bypassing Daze, then bypassing Guyue City, and then cuts inward laterally from the southwest position of Chu.
Liang Cheng’s eyes immediately froze;
“If I were to lead an army again and follow this route, I would have a duel just like Yao did when he raided the country of Qian. What about the Qianguo Jiangnan raid? < br>
Think about it,
The Ganren army is tensely confronting you on three sides, and I suddenly stab them hard from behind, what will happen? "
"Lord, this is no longer a military issue.
Although the Chu people have just been severely defeated by us, the Chu country has not been destroyed. The Chu people will watch you helplessly and lead all the troops. , just pass right under your nose?”
"A Cheng, you also said that this is no longer a military issue, so naturally we have to find non-military methods to solve it.
Let my uncle,
After being slapped hard by me,
Again willingly,
give way to me. ”
“My subordinates are stupid, so please show me your superiors.” "
"Wait a minute. "
"Wait? ”
"My lord, I would like to see you." The blind man's voice sounded from outside the commander's tent.
Zheng Fan clapped his hands and said
“No, it’s coming.” (End of chapter)
