Renzi Scroll Chapter 244 Jab VS Uppercut

 "Dong Yang, what if my appetite is neither too big nor too small?" Feng Tang intends to take a deeper test than the other party.

"Not big or small?" Liu Dongyang was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think carefully.

Feng Tang did not disturb the other party and patiently waited for the other party to think.

Liu Dongyang waved his hand, and a staff sergeant had already sent the map to him. He immediately unfolded the map.

After a long time, Liu Dongyang rolled up the map with enthusiasm, shook his head and said silently: "Sir, how can there be any good thing in the world that can have everything? Good things, big or small, can't be found. Even if they are, it's a risk.

Very dangerous."

"So, it's not like there's nothing. Let's talk about it." Feng Tang became interested.

"Xia Town, if you want to avoid a decisive battle with the Xuanfu Army, but also strangle its supplies and force them to disorganize their positions, then you can take a risk and cross from Feng County to Pei County, only kill Xia Town, capture Xia Town, and cut off Xia Town

Canal!" Liu Dongyang's eyes were bright.

"Although Xia Town belongs to Pei County and Xuzhou, it is actually close to the border with Yixian County. And one thing that is beneficial to us is that the section from Jining Prefecture to Xuzhou, after passing the collapse site, is actually Chen Jixian's Huaihe River.

The Yang army is in control, but the Huaiyang army may have received the promised benefits from both sides, and is a little lax. There are many ships coming and going. We can easily capture it by surprise and block the canal. We just need to risk Chen Jixian's face, but in the end the general will think that,

This does not pose a substantial threat to Xuzhou, or you can go to the envoy to talk to Chen Jixian and ask him to remain silent for the time being. In this way,..."

Liu Dongyang did not say anything further, but Feng Tang understood that this was everyone's tacit understanding.

Chen Jixian himself was sitting on both sides of the fence, pretending to be dumbfounded at this time, and his own side wanted to use this to force the Xuanfu army to take the initiative.

Compared with fighting near Jinxiang and Yutai, Xuanfu troops can be dragged farther here in Xia Town. Even if they can use the canal, the further away from Jining, the longer it will take them to go back and forth, and it will be easier.

Defeat each one.

Feng Tang didn't say anything more. Liu Dongyang's suggestions were all to his liking. This type of war, a step-by-step battle relying on the accumulation of troops and consumption, was not what he wanted, and it was very easy to reach a stalemate war of attrition.

For our side, if it is a foreign war, such a battle, of course it is good, but now it is a civil war, and the other side has abundant material support in Jiangnan and the advantage of canal transportation, which is not good for our side, so time is not there

On one side, we must attack its vital points and force the other party to initiate a war.

However, Liu Dongyang's suggestions gave him a lot of inspiration, but the other party's considerations also had many disadvantages. This is the opponent's thinking as a forward, but as a coach, he needs to weigh the pros and cons, how to choose its advantages and eliminate its shortcomings to form a

The most perfect solution is something you should consider yourself.

But no matter what, Liu Dongyang proved that he was not only a warrior on the battlefield, but also a wise and strategic general, and he did not disappoint Feng Tang.

While Feng Tang and Liu Dongyang were thinking hard about how to start this opening battle, on the other side of the battlefield, Niu Jizong was also looking at the map and thinking about how to fight this battle.

Almost the same as thinking about defeat before victory, Niu Jizong was very confident in his Xuanfu army, but he was also a little worried about Sun Shaozu's Datong army.

Once the northern front is defeated and the imperial army is suppressed, it may face a pincer attack from several fronts, and the canal will be involved for hundreds of miles. This front will suddenly lengthen, which will be very dangerous.

So he was also thinking about how Sun Shaozu could defeat You Shilu of the Jizhen Army and Su Shengdu of the Shanxi Army.

As a veteran general who has experienced hundreds of battles, although Niu Jizong also came from the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, he had actually survived the actual battle with the Xuanfu Army in Jizhen before.

In the 29th year of Yuanxi, he was a guerrilla in Jizhen. Later, he was promoted to staff general in Jizhen and then transferred to Xuanfu Town. In Xuanfu Town, he gradually went from staff general to deputy commander-in-chief of separate defense, and then to deputy commander-in-chief of assisting defenders.

In the end, he was only one step away from becoming the commander-in-chief, but he was transferred back to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to serve as a casual post. He stayed there for several years.

Even in the past few years, he had deliberately wanted to return to the army, so he took a circuitous path, starting from taking over as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp from Wang Ziteng, and then to the Governor of Xuanda.

Niu Jizong looked down upon Su Shengdu. How could a flatterer be sent by the imperial court to lead the army?

But now it is a big piece of good news for our own side, and Su Shengdu is obviously not on good terms with You Shilu of Jizhen. The two led their troops south but were dawdling on the front line between Hejian and Zhending. This may be

a chance.

Sun Shaozu obviously overestimated his opponent, retreated to Dezhou and put up a defensive posture, but they hesitated, which probably made Sun Shaozu a little confused.

"Deqing, what do you think?" Glancing at the most proud staff member beside him, Niu Jizong pointed to a large pile of documents and information piled on the desk, "Our situation is probably well known to the capital, too.

The dirty things within them also have no cover for us. Su Shengdu is not convinced by You Shilu, and You Shilu can't command Su Shengdu. How can Shaozu fight this battle?"

Mu Deqing was still looking at the information in his hand, and then he put it down for a long time and said: "Theoretically, we should attack You Shilu first. You Shilu only has more than 20,000 people. Although they are Ji Zhen's army, we can use the advantage of the canal to do whatever we want.

Mobilizing transportation is not like them who can only look at it one step at a time and worry about supplies being out of sync. Although we have cleared the Dongguang Nanpi Jingzhou line, we can see that the capital is still very supportive. The grain and grass supplies coming down from Shuntian Prefecture are following up very quickly.

, the number of masters is as many as ten thousand, which is somewhat beyond our imagination.”

"We all underestimated this young man Feng Ziying. This guy has only been in Shuntian Prefecture for a year, and he has resorted to one trick after another. Hejian Prefecture was originally in poor condition. I thought that You Shilu's army would be difficult to maintain here in Hejian when it went south, but

The supplies from Shuntian Prefecture came so quickly, so our preparations were somewhat useless." Niu Jizong was not without regrets, "Now You Shilu can fight steadily and with ease, and refuses to rush forward easily, so this battle will not be easy to fight.

Already."

"Then attack the Shanxi Army!" Mu Deqing closed the folding fan in his hand. "It seems that the Shanxi Army has more than 50,000 people, which is similar to Shaozu's strength. Moreover, Su Shengdu is also very cautious, but this group of soldiers

We dare not cross the Solu River, which means that there is basically nothing east of the Solu River. Su Shengdu must have sent a small force to the Zaoqiang line, but what about further south?"

"You mean from Linqing Prefecture?" Niu Jizong's eyes lit up, "But there are also imperial troops in Guangping Prefecture..."

Mu Deqing laughed and said, "Commander, aren't you afraid of even the guards? We didn't attack Guangping Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, or Shunde Prefecture. It's not that we can't defeat it, but that we can defeat it."

It makes no sense. Feng Tang also understood this, so he only deployed guards in Guangping Prefecture and Daming Prefecture. Oh, there is still a northwest army, Liu Baichuan's 20,000 people, stationed from Shunde Prefecture.

From Guangzong to Dongming in Daming Prefecture in the south, there are only 20,000 people in these hundreds of miles. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what we are doing. If we really want to fight, they may not want it, they just hope that we can fight in and let us

It’s trapped there, but what if we don’t fight or occupy it, but directly insert it and hook it upward?”

Niu Jizong glanced at the map on the wall for a long time before slowly saying: "Shaozu's troops are not enough. Although Su Shengdu is a fool, the Shanxi army is not weak. Shaozu stationed 30,000 people on the front line of Dezhou.

There are still 10,000 people in the city. In Linqing Prefecture, these more than 10,000 people are in reserve. Even a surprise attack cannot defeat the Shanxi Army with one blow..."

"Who said Shaozu should send troops? Not only could he not send troops, but he also had to pretend to ask Linqing to support Dezhou, otherwise You Shilu would definitely see the clues." Mu Deqing smiled sinisterly, "Feng

Isn't Tang playing it safe? Well, let's take advantage of this opportunity to give him a meeting gift first, and let the 30,000 Dongchang Prefecture army go north at starry night, disembark at Jiamaying Shuiyi north of Wucheng, and head west towards Nangong.

There were 5,000 Shanxi troops stationed in Nangong. After being defeated, they rushed straight to Jizhou without stopping..."

Niu Jizong stared at the map.

He knew that Jiamaying was a strategic point twenty-five miles north of Wucheng County. There was a water station and a delivery station, as well as a dock for landing. The key was that landing from here could avoid Wucheng or Linqing.

Easy to expose.

"Deqing, with thirty thousand people heading north, I'm afraid it won't be easy to cover up their tracks." Niu Jizong said leisurely after a long while.

"The army can board the ship at starry night, but it can be pretended to be reinforcements for Linqing. After all, the Linqing army has gone north to Dezhou. When the army approaches Linqing, it can temporarily block the canal between Linqing and the old city, so that it can be caught off guard. If

Your Excellency is still worried, so you might as well make a fuss in Linqing, pretending that the army is disembarking in Linqing, which is nothing more than some acting,..."

Mu Deqing smiled and said, "This is just a rough idea from my subordinates. How to operate it will definitely need to be studied slowly..."

Niu Jizong nodded slowly, "This matter must be discussed in detail, and if I take away the 30,000 troops, Feng Tang will probably get the news soon, and I'm afraid he won't watch the Shanxi army be defeated."

And if you remain indifferent, the court will not agree."

"It depends on time, but I think that as long as we deal with the Shanxi Army in one fell swoop, You Shilu's Jizhen Army will not be able to pose a threat to Shaozu. Even Shaozu can easily attack Wuqiao, Jingzhou, and You

Shi Lu can only retreat. If we really penetrate Shunde Prefecture and Guangping Prefecture, how will Feng Tang plan to deal with it?" Mu Deqing laughed loudly, "I'm afraid he will also find it difficult to deal with it, right?"

Niu Jizong was silent. He admitted that Mu Deqing's suggestion was indeed very clever. This uppercut could knock out the Shanxi army and completely eliminate the threat to Sun Shaozu. But would Feng Tang always wait so honestly?

I'm afraid it's not that simple.
