Wang Shichong frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
It sounds very reasonable!
This seems to be a crisis, but why can't a crisis be turned into an opportunity?
Maybe it was because Wei Zheng was really good at predicting things before, which left a deep impression on Wang Shichong, and even laid a certain ideological stamp on him, so he naturally followed the other person's train of thought at this time.
It is known that Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang are approaching fiercely, and Jinyang of Liang State is in danger.
It is also known that Jinyang is very important. Not only is it the base camp where Liang Guo made his fortune, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is an important fulcrum for Liang Guo to attack the world. On the other hand, the surrounding areas of Luoyang, although still relatively wealthy, are not geographically advantageous and have no People and.
In other words, even if Liang Guo captured the surrounding areas of Luoyang and occupied it briefly, as long as he lost a battle, the places he had previously occupied would rebel and switch sides again.
For Wang Shichong, as long as Luoyang is preserved, it doesn't matter if the surrounding areas are lost, because they can be regained in one battle.
Before, Li Mi came fiercely and occupied the entire area around Luoyang, but so what? Wang Shichong defeated him in a battle, and Li Mi completely withdrew from the stage of history.
So for Liang Guo, no matter how you look at it, Jinyang is more important.
There will definitely be heavy troops deployed there, and the manpower attacking Luoyang will naturally be severely dispersed. In terms of troops, there cannot be too many.
Therefore, as long as Luoyang sends a somewhat reliable person to guard it, it will definitely be able to guard it.
While Wang Shichong was on his way back to help, Dou Jiande would definitely not miss this opportunity and would pursue him. Even if he didn't pursue him, the two moles, Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao, would definitely instigate him to pursue him.
For Wang Shichong, there is indeed a great advantage in pulling and fighting.
On the one hand, he can choose the location of the decisive battle on his own and wait for work to ambush. On the other hand, Meng Jiong will definitely continue to cause trouble.
The reason why Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are in a stalemate now is because of the presence of more than 30,000 Meng Jiigong.
They were all afraid of being attacked by Meng Jiong during the fight and could not see the certainty of victory, so they did not dare to take action.
But what if Wang Shichong withdraws? Then Dou Jiande may choose to fight Meng Jiong, or he may choose to bypass Meng Jiong and pursue Wang Shichong.
If it's the former, then Wang Shichong can wait to pick the peaches; if it's the latter, then as long as Wang Shichong defeats Dou Jiande through an ambush, Meng Jiigong will definitely take advantage of the situation, and Wang Shichong will pick the peaches.
After much deliberation, this plan seems perfect in theory!
Although it is a bit idealistic, if every step can be executed in place, the outcome can indeed be determined in one battle.
Wang Shichong couldn't help but imagine the most perfect scenario: he pretended to retreat, defeated the pursuing Dou Jiande, and captured him in a battle, thus gaining an opportunity to completely pacify Hebei; on the other hand, Wei Zheng led He held on to Luoyang, but Liang Jun could not attack for a long time. When he came back to help, Liang Jun retreated hastily. Then he could lead his army to pursue the victory, enter Guanzhong and fight the decisive battle with Liang Guo, pacifying the world in one fell swoop...
Thinking of this, Wang Shichong immediately said: "Okay! Then we will follow Sir's plan!
"I will separate a partial force and give it to Bing Yuanzhen to lead. Sir, you can return to Luoyang with Bing Yuanzhen."
In fact, Lu Heng's idea was that he himself would lead troops to support Luoyang, but Wang Shichong did not agree.
Maybe it was because Wang Shichong didn't trust his loyalty, maybe he didn't trust his ability to lead troops, or maybe both.
Obviously, Wang Shichong still had some caution at the last moment.
However, Lu Heng was not angry either. He just smiled and said, "I will definitely live up to Duke Zheng's trust!"
This is of course part of his plan.
Lu Heng had already expected that Wang Shichong would still be worried about letting him lead the troops by himself, and would definitely send a general to assist him.
It's just that Lu Heng didn't expect that it would be the general Bing Yuanzhen.
Bing Yuanzhen was originally Li Mi's subordinate and an old man from Wagang Village. Logically speaking, he had surrendered to Wang Shichong from Li Mi's subordinates just before. Wang Shichong should not have so much trust in him.
But the situation in this matter is more complicated.
First of all, among Wang Shichong's original group of subordinates, there were no particularly important generals. The ones who could really fight were all from Wagangzhai.
And for the same demoted generals, their treatment is obviously different.
Because there are two factions under Li Mi, one is loyal to Li Mi, and the other is Zhai Rang's old tribe, which has a big conflict with Li Mi.
Bing Yuanzhen and Shan Xiongxin both belong to the latter.
Li Mi set up an ambush to kill Zhai Rang at the banquet. Bing Yuanzhen and Shan Xiongxin were also present, and they almost died in the banquet hall. So they have always been dissatisfied with Li Mi.
And Wang Shichong has been sending people to alienate Bing Yuanzhen, so Bing Yuanzhen secretly surrendered to Wang Shichong, and turned against Li Mi during the battle of Mangshan, Kaicheng surrendered, and gave up Luocang, which he was guarding, and Li Mi lost
Important strongholds and granaries were destroyed, and morale collapsed.
Therefore, Wang Shichong had great trust in Bing Yuanzhen. This kind of trust and preference even reached the point where many Wagang surrendered generals could not stand it.
At this time, Lu Heng and Bing Yuanzhen returned to Luoyang to help Luoyang. As long as they can make good use of this contradiction, things will be very easy to handle.
…
Outside Jinyang City, the battlefield between Liu Wuzhou and Liang Guo.
Liu Wuzhou looked at the situation on the battlefield with a very ugly expression.
"That's unreasonable! This Princess Pingyang is just a female, so why is her marching formation so exquisite!"
Not to mention Liu Wuzhou, even Song Jingang, who personally fought against Princess Pingyang, couldn't figure out this problem at all.
From the moment they started plotting against Jinyang, the script of the entire incident was completely incomprehensible.
In fact, these two men were just testing at the beginning. Their troops were not very large, but the quality of the troops was not bad. In addition, they had cavalry supported by Turks, so they wanted to lure Liang Jun out of the city to fight in the field as much as possible.
As a result, Liang Jun did not come out.
So they continued to harass surrounding counties. Yuchi Jingde performed very well in this process, but Liang Jun still did not come out.
Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were instantly reassured. Obviously, Princess Pingyang, who was responsible for guarding Jinyang, had no talent for field warfare at all!
Otherwise, why wouldn't she even dare to give it a try?
As a result, the two gradually expanded and made a big noise.
When they heard that reinforcements from Liang Jun were coming, the two of them were quite nervous, fearing that people like King Qi and King Wei would come.
Although they didn't think that King Qi and King Wei could easily defeat them, they were still more difficult to deal with than Princess Pingyang.
Unexpectedly, Chang'an didn't seem to take it seriously at all, and the leader of the army seemed to be Princess Pingyang!
Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were overjoyed. Obviously, Liang Guo did not think highly of them at all!
On the battlefield, there is a price to pay for underestimating the enemy.
Therefore, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang planned a good strategy. Song Jingang would confront Liang Jun head-on, while Yuchi Jingde would lead the elite cavalry in a roundabout way, and the outcome would be decided in one battle.
This plan was of course perfect. Song Jingang even proudly said that if there was really a female leader, Yuchi Jingde would not need to take action, he would be able to defeat him directly from the front!
But after the fight, I discovered that there seemed to be some deviations from what I expected.
The military formation commanded by Princess Pingyang turned out to be very neat, and Liang Jun's quality was already good, and his numbers were superior, so Song Jingang's side was somewhat unable to withstand it.
"Report! Our frontline army is almost unable to withstand it!" The messenger flew to report.
Liu Wuzhou looked worriedly at the battlefield in the distance, gritted his teeth and said, "Fight to the death, and we will investigate again and report again!"
"Yes!" The messenger left again.
Liu Wuzhou comforted himself silently: "It doesn't matter, everything will be fine when Yuchi Jingde launches the attack..."
He looked hard into the distance.
Somewhere behind Liang Jun, Yuchi Jingde should have already moved back to his position.
Why haven't you launched an attack yet? Well... maybe you're looking for the most suitable time.
If he attacks rashly, Liang Jun will not be exhausted and will definitely not be able to achieve the best results. Therefore, it is a good thing that Yuchi Jingde can stay calm and choose the best time to attack...
Song Jingang is best at defense. Although his troops are at a disadvantage, he can definitely continue to persevere.
In this way, Liu Wuzhou paid attention to the situation on the battlefield while waiting for Yuchi Jingde's cavalry to come to support and turn the tide.
…
On the other side, Yuchi Jingde, played by Fan Cun, leads the cavalry to ambush in a valley.
"General, aren't we going to attack now?" the deputy general asked doubtfully.
Fan Cun glanced at him: "Are you a general or am I a general? Are you teaching me how to fight?"
The deputy general said quickly: "I don't dare, general, but we have been lying in wait here for such a long time, and the battle should have started long ago. If we don't go to support, I'm afraid..."
Fan Cun's face darkened: "What do you know!
"If the opportunity has not come yet, and if you rush into battle and lose everything, can you bear the responsibility?"
The deputy general was speechless for a moment and had to retreat silently.
The military orders were overwhelming, and although he was confused, he could only carry them out.
…
In the city of Luoyang.
Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, came to the city wall to inspect the defense.
"Mr. Wei!" The officers guarding the city saluted him respectfully.
During this period, Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, has completely won Wang Shichong's trust, and the soldiers guarding the city are naturally very discerning.
In fact, Lu Heng can speak better than Bing Yuanzhen now.
From the surface, Wang Shichong asked him and Bing Yuanzhen to lead troops back to Luoyang to aid Luoyang, and it was Bing Yuanzhen who led the troops. Lu Heng seemed to only exist as a staff officer.
But in the eyes of others, this is not the case.
Bing Yuanzhen was a surrendered general under Li Mi. What about Wei Zheng? He had been giving Wang Shichong advice from the very beginning!
There is a difference between closeness and distance. No matter how you look at it, Wang Shichong should trust Wei Zhengcai more.
What's more, a scheming figure like Wei Zheng comes with his own buffs when he appears, so he naturally has a high prestige.
Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Wang Shichong should trust Wei Zheng more, and Bing Yuanzhen is just a tool man who leads troops to fight. In the final analysis, he still has to be restricted by Wei Zheng.
But Lu Heng knew that this was not the case. Wang Shichong trusted Bing Yuanzhen more.
But so what? Most of the minions don't know anyway.
Wei Zheng, played by Lu Heng, strolled to one of the city gates and met the guard here, Luo Shixin.
He gave Luo Shixin a meaningful smile, and Luo Shixin gave him a meaningful smile in return.
OK!
In fact, the character Luo Shixin is incompatible with the players.
He originally followed Pei Renji and later surrendered to Li Mi along with Pei Renji. Then in the twelfth year of Daye, he followed Li Mi to fight against Wang Shichong and was captured and surrendered to Wang Shichong.
But it was two years later that Wang Shichong actually defeated Li Mi and surrendered most of Li Mi's generals.
In other words, Luo Shixin actually followed Wang Shichong two years earlier than Bing Yuanzhen and other generals.
At the beginning, Wang Shichong knew that Luo Shixin was a fierce general, so he ate and slept with him and was treated very well. However, after defeating Li Mi and surrendering many new generals, Wang Shichong immediately stopped paying so much attention to Luo Shixin and instead Turn all your energy to Bing Yuanzhen and others.
Luo Shixin was deeply ashamed.
Later, Wang Shichong even snatched Luo Shixin's war horse and gave it to his nephew. After five or three attempts, Luo Shixin was completely disappointed with Wang Shichong and found an opportunity to surrender to the Liang Dynasty.
At this time, the rift between Luo Shixin and Wang Shichong had initially emerged.
Lu Heng had known this in advance and directly contacted Luo Shixin, promising him to defect to the Liang Dynasty. Coupled with the internal support of the Liang Dynasty, Luo Shixin was immediately instigated to rebel.
This is another advantage for players.
If it is a normal instigation of rebellion, one must be careful. Once the other party remains unmoved or simply reports the situation, the situation will become unmanageable.
But the players have read the script in advance, and the success rate of instigating rebellion can reach almost 100%.
…
On the other side, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are ready to go to war.
Both of them are full of confidence.
From Wang Shichong's point of view, he was ambushing on the way, waiting for work, and Dou Jiande also had two moles, Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao, as backup, so he had a greater chance of winning.
In Dou Jiande's view, Wang Shichong's hometown had been stolen by Liang Guo. Even if he was prepared during the retreat, his morale would definitely be very low. Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and other surrendered generals on his side were clamoring for battle again. They all wanted to make contributions and their morale was strong. There is no problem with a wave of Aces.
Everyone felt that the situation was under control.
