Chapter 93: Coming to War (2)

"It's a great opportunity, but I'm really unwilling to watch it go away."

With a look of unwillingness on his face, Gevardide punched the table hard, causing the teacup to fall to the ground and shatter into pieces.

Lai Zonghan said softly: "My lord, it is said that Li Zhong, the first general of the Jin Dynasty, has entered Longyou with an army of 50,000. His arrival must have a big plan. Zanpu and the general are afraid and dare not act rashly. It’s not unreasonable.”

Gewapide said bitterly: "So what if the first general is the best? I haven't fought against him before. Who knows if he is a person with a false reputation? No matter how powerful Li Zhong is, he is just a mortal. I have 300,000 Tufan." The army is far more powerful than them. If we can unite with the Hu people in Mobei, this battle will definitely be successful. If we can decide the situation in one battle and wipe out Li Zhong, Ma Wu and others, and there will be no heavy troops outside the Jin Dynasty, we can Wouldn't it be a great thing to directly enter the pass, destroy the Jin Dynasty, and seize the country of the Central Plains?"

"Lord, what you said may not be easy to achieve. It's better to think about it in the long term."

Lai Zonghan smiled bitterly and shook his head. His lord is really as high as the sky, and as big as his heart. He once served as an official in the Jin Dynasty, and he knows more about the truth and falsehoods of the Jin Dynasty than Gewapide. Although the current emperor He is not a saintly king, but he is definitely not a mediocre person. He is assisted by Yang Daosi, Liu Jie and other famous ministers. For now, the domestic situation is relatively stable, and neither are Ma Wu, Yu Wenzhen and others. Ordinary people, especially Li Zhong, the king of An, guarded the outside of the pass for nearly twenty years, and fought dozens of large and small battles with the Mobei Hu people. They always defeated the large numbers with less and never lost. How could he be a person with a false reputation? In Lai Zonghan's view, Gewarde thought things too simply. Perhaps his hatred for the Jin Dynasty made him lose some basic reason.

Gewapide glanced at Lai Zonghan dissatisfied and snorted: "If you don't try, how will you know it won't work? Others say I am arrogant and ignorant. Do you think so too?"

Lai Zonghan bowed and said with a wry smile: "What did you say, my lord? How could Zonghan increase the ambition of others and destroy your prestige, my lord? But now everyone has decided on a strategy. The next target of attack is Huizhou. They will attack What kind of abacus, my lord, you understand clearly in your mind, if there are no huge benefits, it may be difficult to convince Zanpu and the others."

Gewapide frowned and said: "Those hundreds of thousands of Jin Dynasty people, aren't they enough to impress them?"

Lai Zonghan shook his head: "There are 50,000 Jin troops in Zhike County, and they are not weak. Not to mention whether they can be defeated, even if they are defeated, how many Tufan soldiers will be lost in one battle? Furthermore, those hundreds of thousands of Jin troops Even if the common people of the court are captured by us, those who can bring them back to Tufan alive may not even have two CDs. Currently, there are only 40,000 Jin troops in Huizhou for defense. Once they capture Huizhou, they can march straight into the pass and the Central Plains will be rich. , the population and wealth are countless, which one is higher and which one is lower, Delong Jiankang has already calculated this account clearly in his heart."

Gewapide sneered and said: "How can we eat with peace of mind when we have a strong enemy at our side? If Delong Jiankang, the leader of the lord, cannot attack Huizhou with his army, once a stalemate is formed, Li Zhong will probably immediately gather his army to attack Shanzhou. We are here There are only 100,000 troops, not much more than them, and we cannot form an absolute advantage. Once we are defeated here, Shanzhou is lost, and Li Zhong leads the army to attack from behind, it will be difficult for him, Delong Yankang, to remain undefeated."

"Our biggest difficulty now is that people are not united, everyone has their own ideas, and there is no unity at all. Zanpu led 50,000 troops to guard Langzhou and allowed Delong to do whatever he wanted. He just sat back and watched the situation change. If Delong If Yan Kang wins, Zamp will be the biggest beneficiary. If Delong Yan Kang loses, I'm afraid the first thing Zamp will do is to immediately abandon the city and flee back to Tufan. How can he care about our lives? "

Lai Zonghan shook his head and sighed, and at the same time he had some vague guesses in his heart.

Gewapide glanced at Lai Zonghan: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Lai Zonghan pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I feel that the Jin army abandoned the four states of Longyou not because they were afraid of us, but... because they wanted to lure us inside and then surround and annihilate them."

Gewapide took a breath of air and said in shock: "This is impossible! Their military strength is far less than ours. With an army of 300,000, how can Li Zhong survive?"

Gewapide was very trusting and convinced of Lai Zonghan. If he dared to say this, he must have guessed something. If it were another person, Gewapide would probably slap him immediately. He felt that this person was mentally ill. Here nonsense.

Lai Zonghan said with a very serious face: "Li Zhong is a man with great strategic vision and extraordinary courage. When fighting enemies, he often wins by surprise. In terms of tactics, he seeks speed and does not fight. He will win in one fight. Although Ma Wu is The Grand Governor oversaw the military affairs of the four states, but he did not have such great courage and dared to abandon the territory of the four states. This must be Li Zhong's plan. From this point of view, my main opponent in this battle with Tubo has been replaced by Li Zhong. Zhong, this person has a great reputation in the Jin Dynasty, no one can compare with him, he is by no means an ordinary person, my lord must not be careless."

Gewarpide nodded, his face became serious, he pondered for a moment, and finally said with a helpless smile: "Your analysis is right, I also want to make a difference, but the military power is in the hands of my uncle, and he doesn't listen to good advice, so what can I do? "

Lai Zonghan smiled and said: "My lord, if you are not straight, you can go around! My lord, please tell the general that there are only 5,000 soldiers guarding Liangzhou, which is too small. There are indeed 60,000 in Zhike County, hundreds of miles away. The army of the Jin Dynasty is on the side. Once it attacks, the city will definitely not be able to be defended. When the army of the Jin Dynasty goes south to Shanzhou, it will be extremely ineffective against us. It is better to send a general with 20,000 troops to station in Liangzhou to strengthen the defense, which can serve as our base camp in Shanzhou. Forward position."

Gewa Bide nodded. This plan had been thought of for a long time. The reason why Gewa Morong refused to send more soldiers to garrison Liangzhou was because it was too close to Anbei and too dangerous, and the people and property in the city were all. It has moved away. In Gewa Morong's eyes, Liangzhou is now just an empty city without much potential or value.

Gewapide looked at Lai Zonghan and asked, "Zonghan, what do you want to do?"

"Now that they are hiding and we are hiding, and the situation is unclear, it would be a good idea to hit him and explore the truth."

Lai Zonghan squinted his eyes and chuckled: "There are only 10,000 Jin troops escorting hundreds of thousands of people to Yunzhou. My lord can send General Zade to lead the army to attack on the way. With so many people, the Jin Dynasty general stationed in Zhike County Ma Wu will definitely not dare to sit idly by and watch. Once the Jin army is lured out of Zhike County, my lord will take the opportunity to make a speech. The general will never miss the opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Jin army."

Gewadide frowned and said: "Zade has always been aloof from me. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to obey my orders."

Lai Zonghan said: "My lord, there is no need to worry, I have a way to convince him."

Gewarpide stood up and walked back and forth, seeming a little hesitant. Regardless of whether the matter is successful or not, he will kill it first and then report it. The superiors will definitely not like the behavior of his subordinates. Gewamo Rong is not big-hearted, so he did it himself , it will definitely arouse his suspicion afterwards.

Lai Zonghan had followed Gewa Zide for many years and knew his thoughts well at this time. Seeing him pondering for a long time and still hesitating and unable to make a decision, Lai Zonghan sighed softly and said: "General Gewa Morong's eldest grandson is about to come of age, my lord. You must be on guard!"

Hearing this, Gewapide's whole body was shocked and he stood stiffly. His uncle had five sons, but they were all mediocre and useless. Otherwise, it would not have been his turn to be a commoner, Gewapide. A partial descendant came to the throne, but Gewa Morong's eldest son and grandson Gewa Xingchi was a talented person. He was very smart since he was a child and was known as a child prodigy in Tubo. Gewa Morong originally planned to take him with him this time. He only gave up establishing military exploits because of physical discomfort. However, it can be seen from this that Gewa Mo Rong has already planned to train his eldest grandson. What is the most important thing in Tubo? Naturally, it is military power. Ge Wa Bide knew in his heart. In a few years, the military power in his hands will definitely be taken away step by step by Gewa Morong and slowly transferred to Gewa Xingchi.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Gewapide looked at Lai Zonghan. This was the second time he had asked. The two of them had known each other very well after having been together for so many years. If Lai Zonghan dared to do this, he must have a plan.
