Bai Qi informed the Emperor of Chu about the deployment of the coalition forces outside the city. The main forces of the Liang Kingdom were the Nether Iron Cavalry under Xiao Zhan and the Kuanglong Corps under Muye.
However, the most powerful ones are the Mongolian cavalry under Dong Zhuo. Among them, the first and second legions commanded by Liu Bei and Xu Rong are particularly terrifying.
The Mongolian cavalry can be said to have strong soldiers and horses, well-equipped equipment, and strong generals. The weakest is the Western Jin army. Although it is large in number, its combat effectiveness is mediocre and there is no strong general to lead it.
Chu Feifan, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Liang heard the sound and fell into deep thought. Emperor Chu was thinking about it in his mind.
Liu Bei was by no means a kind person, and he could not be willing to serve as a minister. Dong Zhuo was extremely ambitious, so how could he willingly obey Temujin's command?
Throughout history, Dong Zhuo had many powerful generals, such as Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Hua Xiong, and Xu Rong, all of whom were able to stop hundreds of people.
But now Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si are all under his command, and Dong Zhuo only has Xu Rong, who is not a threat at all.
On the other hand, Liu Bei historically had five tiger generals under his command, namely Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun.
But now except for Guan Yu and Ma Chao, the other three are already in the Chu army camp. Even Zhang Fei, who is sworn to his Taoyuan Three, is one of the Eight Fierce Men. Even if he has Ma Chao and Guan Yu under his command, he has no chance of winning at all.
.
Think about this.
Emperor Chu chuckled lightly, glanced sideways at Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang, and asked: "Kong Ming, Zifang, what do you think of this battle now?"
"Your Majesty, I came to the city today and saw that the people in the city love our army very much. As the saying goes, if you gain the right, you will get many help, but if you lose the right, you will get little help. He who has the support of the people will win the world. In this battle, I have all the favorable conditions, people and people in Chu. I can't win even if I don't win!"
"
"On the other hand, the 80,000 Mongolian cavalry hidden in Leling City had to be defended. I thought that in today's battle, the strength of our Chu army has been demonstrated. The enemy troops outside the city will definitely unite the army in one place. It is time to divide the troops into two groups to attack Leling City.
The enemy troops were annihilated."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently, calmly and calmly, and his gentle voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, there are nearly a million soldiers in the city, plus the people, the food and fodder brought here may only last ten days, so this battle should be decided quickly."
"The Mongolian cavalry reinforcements from the Western Jin Dynasty are the most important thing in this battle. Once the Mongolian cavalry are defeated, the Western Jin Dynasty and Daliang will definitely fall to the ground and be scattered, and nothing will happen."
"Wei Chen has another plan, which can resolve the danger below the city without any bloodshed, and allow our army to seize the Western Jin Dynasty and the Daliang Empire."
"What does the ovary mean? Just tell me!"
"Together."
"Who in the whole world can be united?"
The Emperor of Chu didn't know who Zhang Liang was talking about in Hezong. At present, there were only enemy countries south of the East China Sea, so how could Hezong have allies.
"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, is the object of my alliance."
"Dong Zhuo?"
"Appreciate further details!"
"Your Majesty, the Mongolian army has traveled thousands of miles to come for the huge benefits promised by the Western Jin Dynasty king. My emperor can reward Dong Zhuo with more wealth, but now the Mongolian cavalry will suffer heavy losses in the battle with Wu Chu."
"Wei Chen is willing to go to the Mongolian army camp to persuade Dong Zhuo, let him switch sides, and attack the Western Jin Dynasty and Daliang together with Wu Chu."
"In this way, the Mongolian army will not have to shed blood, but they can get more wealth. I believe Dong Zhuo will definitely agree."
Hear the sound.
Chu Feifan glanced sideways at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, what do you think of Zifang's plan? Is it feasible?"
"There is a saying in the art of war that those who plan things should put their heart first. Based on the current situation, Zifang has completely understood Dong Zhuo's thoughts. This plan is feasible."
"When the two armies are fighting, they will not kill the envoy. If Dong Zhuo does not agree to this plan, we can use Zifang's first strategy to defeat his strongest force and frighten the Western Jin Dynasty and Daliang. Once the Mongolian enemy troops withdraw from the battle and sweep across the Western Jin Dynasty, Daliang will be defeated day and night.
between."
"wonderful!"
"According to the wishes of my two dear friends, I will first send a large army to Leling City. Tomorrow, I will leave the city and go to the Mongolian military camp. If Dong Zhuo agrees, when the matter is completed, I will definitely give him more than what the king of the Western Jin Dynasty promised.
"
Emperor Chu decided to adopt the plan of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang, and ordered Huang Zhong and Xue Rengui to lead Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Yang Zaixing, Nangong Yong, and Niu Gao to lead the army to the Dead Soldier Camp, the Fallen Camp, and the Shenjian Camp.
Ninety thousand people set out overnight for Leling City.
............
However.
at this time.
Outside the south gate of Jiangling City, the Mongolian military camp is brightly lit, towering torches are curling smoke, fire snakes are puffing in the brazier, and stars are flying.
In the camp.
Dong Zhuo ranks first in the center, with his generals Xu Rong, Liu Bei, Wang Xiaozhan of Daliang Youzhou, general Muye, commander of the Western Jin Dynasty Zhan Dongye, and general Sikongluo on both sides.
"Today the Chu army suddenly came out of the city to fight, completely disrupting the deployment of our coalition forces. All three gates in the east, west and north suffered huge losses."
"Let the Chu army transport grain and grass into the city. I wonder what the generals think."
A powerful and domineering voice sounded, and the generals followed the sound, and their eyes stayed on Dong Zhuo. They saw him raising his hand to drink down the drink in front of him, with questioning eyes flashing in his eyes.
"General Dong, there is a fierce battle outside the west gate today. If the first legion under the general's command joins the battle, how can the Chu army easily escape into the city?"
"Now that the Chu army's food and fodder have been replenished, and hundreds of thousands of troops have entered the city, the current battle situation does not give the coalition forces the slightest advantage. The Emperor of Chu is definitely a human being and should not be underestimated."
Xiao Zhan stood up, his face was calm, his eyes were like lightning, and his deep voice sounded.
"how!"
"General Xiao, are you blaming me for not sending troops in time?"
Dong Zhuo was obviously dissatisfied. In his eyes, Xiao Zhan was just a defeated general under the Chu Emperor. If he really had the ability, he would have led a large army to attack the Chu State, and it would be impossible for him to join the coalition.
"General Dong should know the meaning of X's words. I just want to remind the general not to underestimate Emperor Chu. The battlefield is fleeting and victory or defeat is only a matter of thoughts."
Xiao Zhan's face was ashen, and he sat down with his sleeves rolled up, regretting in his heart that if Xiao Yu hadn't proposed to join the coalition, he would have led the Youzhou army to attack Chu Territory, how could he be controlled by others again.
Dong Zhuo knew the importance of Mongolian cavalry in the coalition. The Western Jin Dynasty and Daliang did not have the support of the Mongolian army, and they would have been defeated by the Chu army long ago due to their capabilities.
Today's battle gave him a new understanding of the Chu army. It had many soldiers, generals, and superb equipment. It was no wonder that it could command troops to attack cities and strongholds and sweep across the six-level countries.
"Liu Bei, send an order to Zhang Xiu of Leling City, asking him to immediately lead the third army to attack the imperial capital of Chu State."
"In addition, the three armies are resting tonight, and at dawn tomorrow I will personally lead the army to attack Jiangling City. This time I will definitely capture the general and defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop."
The words just fell.
A report came from outside the tent, and a scout wearing iron armor rushed in, kneeling on the ground with his hands fisted.
"General, the army of Chu State left the city from the west gate of Jiangling City. The army numbered nearly 100,000 people and left in a mighty manner, covered with stars and moon."
"The whereabouts are unknown at the moment, please make a decision, general!" (To be continued)
