Chapter 421 Double Faith Fighting
Jizhou, Julu Yellow Turban Army Camp.
"Report!"
The messenger quickly rushed into the commander's tent, knelt on one knee and said: "Report to General Tiangong, at midnight last night, the enemy force crossed the Zhang River, rolled up their armor, and attacked our Handan City at Mao hour. The vanguard army was defeated.
Withdraw to Quliang and ask General Tiangong to send reinforcements!"
Zhang Liang, who was playing war games with Han Xin in the handsome tent, saw the anger in his eyes flashed away when he heard the sound. However, after he raised his head and glanced at Han Xin, who had a normal look on the opposite side, he suppressed his anger and waved his hand calmly: "
Someone knows."
"only!"
The ordering soldiers bowed again, bowed and exited the commander's tent.
"Since we knew that Chen Xi could not stop Li Xin, why would General Tiangong be angry?"
After the messengers retreated, Han Xin spoke warmly and comforted him.
As he spoke, he gently pushed the war chess piece representing the Han army on the map across the Zhang River with one hand, covering the city marked with the word Handan.
After going through the hardships of the Bingzhou War, Han Xin became more confident, or in other words, more sharp-edged!
He was wearing an earthy yellow gebu deep garment that was common among the Yellow Turban Army. When worn on him, it looked like a gorgeous and majestic armor. A simple pair of sideburns and forehead, when worn on his head, looked like a dragon or phoenix...
A person feels as if all the decorations are far less powerful than his own aura!
Zhang Liang glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and after seeing the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he became even more angry!
Photographed in the past, the Han Dynasty has achieved great success in deploying troops abroad. When Zhang Liang heard the news that the Han Dynasty was going to use troops at his Julu Taiping Road headquarters, as many senior generals of the Han Dynasty had expected, he urgently transferred Han Xin.
The most capable commander in Taiping Road, Qu Shuai, entered Julu and took charge of the Yellow Turban Army camp.
However, Han Xin was so sharp that he had to show his talent. His first words after entering the Julu Camp were: 'If you want to win this battle, I, Han Xin, must personally lead the troops!'
This may indeed be true.
But with his arrogance and arrogance, how could Zhang Liang really dare to hand over the command of the 300,000 elite Yellow Turbans in Julu to him?
This is not a question of a lack of ambition, nor is it a question of a lack of structure!
The 300,000 elite Yellow Turbans in Julu were already the last possessions of their father and son's family. If they were handed over to Han Xin again, they would really lose their last protective weapon.
What's more, there is Qingzhou Song Yi who has learned from the past and is on the left, sticking sticks into Zhang Liang's eyes...
No one with a normal mind would hand over the command of the Julu Yellow Turban Army to Han Xin again!
Therefore, Zhang Liang refused Han Xin's request to command the troops on the pretext that he would personally command the troops in this battle, and worshiped Han Xin as the marching commander to accompany the army to make plans.
Han Xin accepted Zhang Liang's military orders obediently, and he was indeed conscientious in arranging troops and making plans for the battle.
But every time Zhang Liang made a mistake in his decision-making, or when the frontline generals failed to complete the combat missions assigned by Zhang Liang as scheduled, Han Xin would show off his gloating face as if to show off his superiority in intelligence, adding fuel to Zhang Liang's head.
Oil!
That is to say, Zhang Liang has mastered the art of nourishing qi and is able to accommodate others.
If it were a commander with a bad temper, he would have removed Han Xin from his tent and cut off his head and hung it on the gate!
Zhang Liang suppressed the anger in his heart, forced his gaze on the battle map, and said calmly: "It's natural that Chen Xi can't stop Li Xin, but I never thought that Chen Xi would be so unsatisfactory and guard the natural dangers of Zhangshui."
, and taught Li Xin to defeat his army in just a few blows..."
On the map, he saw that the 150,000 Han troops who had crossed the natural danger of Zhangshui were like a sharp sword, reaching straight to the throat of his Julu Taiping Road headquarters!
"Chen Xi is somewhat capable, but he is far behind Li Xin. Asking Chen Xi to block Li Xin is like using a mantis' arm as a chariot!"
Han Xin didn't know if he really didn't hear Zhang Liang's words, or if he pretended not to, so he opened his mouth and sprinkled a pinch of salt into Zhang Liang's angry heart: "Now the Han army has crossed the Zhangshui natural barrier.
, there is no natural barrier between us and our Julu Heavenly Army camp. With the pace of the Han army, we can reach our Julu Heavenly Army camp directly in three or two days!"
"oh?"
Zhang Liang glanced deeply at Han Xin with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer any anger in his eyes. He chuckled and asked: "Do you think, Han Sima thinks, Li Xin will directly take my huge fortune next?"
Is the Lutian Army’s camp?”
Han Xin was completely unaware of the strange look in his eyes. He looked at the map and pondered for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "If Meng Tian leads the army, the Han army will directly attack our Julu Heavenly Army camp. Li Xin's words are hard to say..."
He recalled Li Xin's past battles and thought about it and said: "Li Xin is good at using surprise troops. He can use troops unexpectedly and can do what others cannot. However, judging from his past military use, this person is not good at fighting direct decisive battles, and the tiger under his command is fierce."
The army has only been established for a short period of time and has not prepared for a major battle. If it were to fight a frontal decisive battle, the casualties would be huge, which is inconsistent with the Han Dynasty's consistent military tactics."
After a pause, he crossed his arms and said with a gentle smile: "Besides, a certain Han Xin is in Julu, how dare he, Li Xin, lead his troops to attack?"
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "As you wish..."
He knocked on the map and looked at Shangdang west of Handan: "Will Li Xin march westward to merge with the state? Will Li Xin move the tiger away from the mountain?"
Han Xin nodded matter-of-factly: "The purpose of the Han's attack on our Taiping Road is to use attack instead of defense, and to break the alliance between our Heavenly Army and Wang Jian's tribe to jointly besiege the Han. This is one of the reasons."
"The second is to weaken the foundation of our Heavenly Army. There is no difference between taking Bingzhou and Jizhou. As far as the Han Dynasty is concerned, our Heavenly Army is currently gathering heavy troops in Julu. If we attack Julu, the gains outweigh the losses. Bingzhou is empty. Li Xinyi
Once you enter Bingzhou, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly!"
Zhang Liang looked at the map and nodded in approval.
Changing location, he would also choose Shangdang, which is easier to attack, instead of choosing to go north to fight with the more than 200,000 Yellow Turban elites at the Julu Yellow Turban Camp.
Moreover, if Li Xin's troops can successfully enter the Shangdang area, they can also cooperate with Meng Tian's troops in Henan to attack Wang Jian in Hanoi from both front and rear. Even if the war situation in Jizhou and Bingzhou does not go well, they can still sink Wang Jian's troops at a minimum. It will be a sure-profit deal for both sides!
"As expected of Li Xin, who led 50,000 soldiers to Luoyi. His attack in the east and in the west is truly breathtaking!"
Zhang Liang admired sincerely.
Han Xin sneered, his contempt evident in his words.
Zhang Liangquan did not hear his laughter, and asked with a gentle smile: "With Han Sima, how should our heavenly army respond to Li Xinsheng's plan to attack the east and west?"
Han Xin said calmly and calmly: "It all depends on the mood of General Tiangong!"
Zhang Liang followed his words without changing his expression and asked, "Oh? What do you mean?"
Han Xin replied calmly: "If General Tiangong just wants to retreat from the enemy, then after Li Xin advances westward, he can just send his troops south and cut off his military and food routes. Li Xin's troops will be defeated without a fight!"
Zhang Liang: "What if someone wants to take chestnuts from the fire?"
Han Xin stretched out his hand and clicked on the war chess piece representing Wang Jian's tribe: "The Han army can go, and so can our heavenly army!"
…
"Han Xin must have thought that a certain family would march westward!"
Outside Handan City, in the headquarters of Huben Army, Li Xin sat in front of the map with a golden sword, and said to Chen Dao firmly.
Chen Dao had just escorted the grain and baggage to Handan. His buttocks were not yet hot. He was very confused when he heard this and asked: "Aren't you planning to march westward?"
Jizhou is very big, and Julu is located in the center of Jizhou.
Handan is located in the southwest of Jizhou, only one step away from the Shangdang area of Bingzhou and the headquarters of Julu Taiping Road.
But based on Chen Dao's understanding of Li Xin, there is no way he would adopt such a satisfactory tactic as directly attacking Julu.
It's not that being average is bad.
Although it may not sound very good to be well-behaved, being well-behaved often means that you won’t make big mistakes!
Chen Shengdu once said, "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements." The truly brilliant commanders are often not the generals who are full of ingenuity, but those whose tactics may seem ordinary, but you just can't find any flaws.
A noble general!
But this guy is Li Xin!
It’s Li Xin who gets prickly all over his body as long as he goes to the battlefield and doesn’t do any chores!
Who would believe that he would fight such a mediocre battle?
Chen Daodu had already made logistical preparations for the goods to be diverted to the west, and ordered his soldiers to rush to make a large number of equipment for transporting grain, fodder, and baggage.
"Look, you didn't expect that a certain family would directly take the giant deer."
Li Xin showed a proud smile when he heard this: "Zhang Liang and Han Xin certainly didn't expect that a certain family would directly take Julu!"
After Chen Dao heard this, a big question mark appeared in his mind, and he said speechlessly: "You are not attacking Julu just to attack Julu, are you?"
This sounds a bit convoluted.
But Li Xin understood, waved his hand and said: "Of course not!"
"In your opinion, what is the biggest problem for our Tiger Army to break through the Julu Taiping Road headquarters?"
He pointed at the location of the giant deer on the map and gestured to Chen Dao.
Chen Dao looked at Julu's position and pondered for a long time, then said with certainty: "How to force Julu's more than 200,000 yellow scarf troops out of Julu!"
"Isn't this what it is?"
Li Xin clapped his hands and said, "These more than 200,000 Yellow Turban elites are huddled in a giant deer, just like a big bastard. No matter where we bite, we will break a big tooth."

"Back then, Ji Zhou's army encircled Taiping Road, and nearly 400,000 soldiers from Wang Jian's and Li Mu's troops surrounded Julu for three months, but failed to achieve any success."
"How can we have so many troops and so much time?"
"On the contrary, as long as the two hundred thousand Julu Yellow Turban Army can be forced out of Julu, no matter how many troops they have, they will only be a piece of food in the bowl of our Tiger Army!"
Chen Dao frowned and stared at the map for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this guy was selling in the gourd: "So? If you take the giant deer directly, you can be sure to overwhelm the more than 200,000 Yellow Turban elites.
A giant deer appears? Do you think those two hundred thousand Yellow Turban elites are all blind? Can they let you touch the giant deer quietly and suddenly attack them?"
Li Xin replied without hesitation: "Of course I have no intention of taking the giant deer directly from Handan!"
He drew his sword and pointed at the map, and drew an arc from Zhangshui behind Handan to the southeast of Julu, connecting it to Nangong County, which was closer to Julu, and took Julu directly!
"Split the troops to attack Zhangshui twice?"
Chen Dao immediately understood this guy's plan, "You forced your way across the Zhang River to attack Handan, just to confuse Zhang Liang and Han Xin and make them think you were going westward from Handan?"
Li Xin nodded: "You can say that!"
Chen Dao glanced at him: "What do you mean?"
Li Xin said calmly: "Han Xin tried his best to get Bingzhou. He would never watch a certain family snatch Bingzhou from him. Therefore, after the number of troops in my camp is reduced, he will definitely
He will send his troops south to attack Handan in order to cut off a certain family's military and food routes. When the troops on the Julu Taiping Road move south, a certain family will take the opportunity to cross Zhangshui twice and take Julu directly. With good luck, they will win in one battle.
Can dismantle Julu Taipingdao Headquarters!"
"At that time, you and I, brothers, will join forces to attack from the north and the south again, and we will be able to accomplish our task in one battle!"
This was a perfect strategic and tactical plan. Chen Dao's eyes nearly popped out when he saw it: "When you forcibly crossed the Zhang River, did you already think about taking advantage of a certain family?"
Having fought side by side with this guy so many times, he could guess with his toes that the one who withstood the main attack of the Julu Yellow Turban Army in Handan must have been Chen Dao.
Instead, he fought in a roundabout way, made a second trip to Zhangshui, and took the enemy camp directly. This task of being in the limelight must be done by Li Xin himself...
The smug smile on Li Xin's face stopped, and he said with a sly smile: "It was not something I thought of when we forcibly crossed the Zhang River. It was something we had thought of when we turned from Yangping to Guangping."
The first stop they passed through Yanzhou and entered Jizhou was Yangping County. At that time, they were faced with the choice of going west or east. To the west, they could turn to Bingzhou, and to the east, they could take a long circuit and pass through Youzhou...
Chen Dao glanced at this guy in surprise, "Tsk tsk" and said in admiration: "You really have the demeanor of a general to make a comprehensive plan so early and only tell a certain family when you're in trouble!"
Li Xin admitted it shamelessly: "Didn't the king always say, 'You should look at each other with admiration after three days of separation'? The graduation thesis of the general class of a certain family's academy was written and approved by the king himself... To be honest
Lao Dao, if you are not willing to bear the thunder, if a certain family is stationed at Handan in this battle, you can lead your troops in a roundabout way!"
Chen Dao looked at him with a sincere look on his face, and sneered: "That's all, I will have to make a living under your command from now on. A certain family doesn't want to wear small shoes!"
"Easy to say!"
Li Xin was overjoyed. He patted his chest and said, "You and I are stirring the pot together. Whenever a certain family eats a bite of meat, it feels like you have a knife and a mouthful of broth!"
Chen Dao didn't want to waste his words on him, and said seriously: "Seriously, if you want to break up with Meng Tian and clear the name of the Tiger Army, a certain family should support you, but you must know enough is enough. Your Majesty will not accept a tragic victory, let alone
In a tragic victory caused by the general's stupidity or competition for fame and fortune, it would be great to be able to defeat the Julu Taiping Road headquarters, but if the Tiger and Ben troops suffer too many casualties... I can't explain it to the king for you!"
As Chen Dao, saying these words can be said to be heartbreaking.
