172 Plot 2

Liu Bingyun's analysis is still very reasonable, which is also something Lin Jianyue is worried about.

"But if the Wuwei Army attacked Chenzhou, Li Chongshan would not have to come to Luoyang if Kaifeng Prefecture was still there. When Chenzhou was fighting stalemate, Pu Jinzhong would still take action. Then wouldn't Li Chongshan go to wipe out Pu Jinzhong faster?"

Liu Bingyun said confidently: "We have 100,000 elite cavalry now, and we may not be able to fight in the wild. As long as we are vigilant, we can still run. Yingchang Mansion, Yancheng, and Chenzhou are in the west and three sides of the south, threatening Kaifeng Mansion. There are 80,000 cavalrymen in Li Fei can be stationed and avoided. As long as Li Chongshan goes south to Chenzhou, Li Fei will go out to threaten his retreat and Kaifeng Mansion, take him around in circles, and drag Li Chongshan here. Unlike Luoyang, we cannot repair fortifications on the Yellow River and cannot threaten Li Chongshan. He will come whenever he wants, and leave whenever he wants."

Lin Jianyue smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, according to your opinion, it would be better to let Li Chongshan come to Luoyang. As long as he goes to attack Pu Jinzhong, we will attack Kaifeng Prefecture. The result is not the same?"

Your Highness still doesn’t want to give up on his idea of ​​being a bait!

Liu Bingyun shook his head and said, "Your Highness, attack and defense are different. We are different from Li Chongshan. We are still mainly infantry. Once we go out to attack, who knows whether Li Chongshan, who retreated from Luoyang, will attack Pu Jinzhong or the army that attacked our three routes? The Menghu cavalry is so fast that the news is too late to pass on, and the carrier pigeon is not safe. Even if it is passed on, there is no time to react. The variables are too big, and the military and national affairs cannot be relied on luck."

Lin Jianyue knew that Liu Bingyun was very correct, so he could only sigh and said, "If this is the case, then I might as well go to Yancheng to join the Guards and implement Mr. Liu's plan to the end."

My mother just doesn't want Lin Jianyue to take risks, but Yancheng has no secret secrets to ensure Lin Jianyue's safety.

Before Liu Bingyun could speak, Tie Qinglin said: "This is inappropriate. There is an insider around Li Chongshan, a capital city that can influence him but we don't know. Even if Pu Jinzhong attacks in the east, maybe Li Chongshan will not miss him at all and only pay attention to Your Highness. Luoyang's strategy should still be carried out as planned. Maybe the situation will be better. Chenzhou strategy is just a supplement to the changes in the situation."

Lin Jianyue thought about it and agreed, asking him to inform the generals of the major legions of the adjusted strategy as soon as possible.

Li Yang didn't dare to speak, and it was difficult to leave. He could only hope that Masayoshi Son would adapt to the situation.

Li Chongshan also knew what the situation was in the Central Plains. Hebei is now constantly collecting food and grass from Kaifeng. The news of his trip to Kaifeng at the end of the year should not be hidden, so he immediately summoned Batusu, Qin Zhenghao and the commander of the Eagle Capture Guard to discuss specific strategies.

"I went south by the end of the year. Now I guess the south side should have predicted what Lin Jianyue is doing now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the Eagle Capture Guard paid a lot of price before he could basically hear the news. Lin Jianyue's three main legions were all around Kaifeng Prefecture. The Long Jie Army was about 100,000 in Xuzhou to the west. The leader was the Tieqinglin, which was originally guarding Luoyang, and countless fortresses were built around Kaifeng Prefecture, which was very difficult to attack. To the south is the new Wuwei Army, which merged with the Xinyang Army of Caizhou and the Wuwei Army of Guo Youting in Huaixi, with a total of more than 100,000 people. The general of the commander was Liu Jiahao from Shangzhou, who is currently stationed in Caizhou. The newly formed guard army has more than 120,000 people, which is the most elite soldiers drawn from each army. The commander general Hao Tianfeng is in the middle of the southwest direction. Lin Jianyue now has nearly 100,000 cavalry troops, and the commander general Li Fei, and the position has not been finalized. We analyze that it should be mainly in the harem city to facilitate support in both directions."

"Where is Lin Jianyue? Is Yancheng?"

"In order to get accurate information from Lin Jianyue, the people on Jingxi Road were basically killed and injured. Fortunately, some time ago, a major incident occurred in Luoyang where people from the Han Mansion in Lin Jian'an were assassinated by Lin Jian'an. Lin Jianyue's tutoring was conducted. Everyone was panicked. Finally, they bought a few defectors who had come from the Han Mansion before. They were the key targets for the investigation, so they basically figured out the situation. In addition to going to Yancheng for a period of time in the middle of the year, Lin Jianyue has been in Luoyang now. Your Majesty, there are more than 40,000 defenders and more than 23,000 guards in Luoyang."

Li Chongshan nodded and said to the two Qin and Ba: "There is a new situation now. Haci has heard news that Pu Jinzhong from Yangzhou, Huaidong, wants to take advantage of the battle with Lin Jianyue to concentrate troops to attack the Shandong Peninsula on the East Road of Jingdong Road. Haci is preparing to concentrate the two routes of Jingdong to encircle and annihilate Pu Jinzhong first. I agree, but Lin Jianyue has strong combat power. Judging from his arrangement, he is mainly defense. As long as he cannot retreat, the people I brought over and the people from Kaifeng Prefecture will be difficult to defeat Lin Jianyue. I wonder what suggestions do you have?"

"There are only 100,000 infantrymen in Kaifeng Prefecture, and they still have to stay in the city. Our cavalry can't attack the city, right? Son Masayoshi is still very strong, with more than 100,000 people. I just don't know if he can trust it. There have been many Han troops rebel in recent years."

Qin Zhenghao said first that although he had learned about Lin Jianyue's plan to use himself as bait through Liu Jingye, the army is still in Hebei now, so he definitely cannot tell the strategy of Li Chongshan preparing to attack Luoyang. It depends on the development of the situation step by step.

Li Chongshan didn't dare to say he was sure, but just mentioned the cooperation between Masayoshi Son and Haci, and emphasized that Haci trusted Masayoshi Son very much.

Batusu looked at Qin Zhenghao for a few glances, but he stopped talking. Li Chongshan smiled and said, "Master Ba said something if you have something to do. Can you still trust Master Qin?"

Batusu was a little embarrassed: "It's not a question of whether to believe or not. Well, that's it, Your Majesty, since the people from Jingdong Road have now gone to the Shandong Peninsula to fight Pu Jinzhong, and the Beijing-East Road is empty. If Son Masayoshi wants to rebel, it is the best time. It is still possible to unite Lin Jianyue to defeat Haci and stay in Kaifeng Prefecture. But everything is normal at present, and Son Masayoshi should be trustworthy. However, a few days ago, Balsivu told the minister that Haci intends to leave Zhongyuan and return to Hetao, and wants to take Son Masayoshi away. He has found Balsiv through others.

Husband helps, and Barsfu felt that it might affect His Majesty's plan to go south, so he specially talked to me. Your Majesty, the situation in the Central Plains has been getting worse in recent years, which has a lot to do with Haci's perfunctory work. This time, he concentrated all the troops on Jingdong Road to attack Pu Jinzhong first, and there was a problem. I suggest that Your Majesty send me to Kaifeng Prefecture first to remove Haci's military power. Since he wants to leave, let him go. I have the confidence to gather Haci's subordinates and subdue Sun Masayoshi, and re-arrange his troops. As long as Your Majesty arrives in Kaifeng, he will be able to quickly defeat Lin Jianyue."

Batusu actually didn't want to talk about the affairs of the senior officials within Menghu in front of Qin Zhenghao, the Han people, because he was afraid of affecting the confidence of surrendered Han people, especially high-ranking officials like Qin Zhenghao.
