Chapter 1018 Potential like a broken bamboo (repair)
Lu Zheng's army broke through Wuling, and Xiao Ran's 50,000 troops were like tigers going down the mountain. Seeing that Wuling's troops were unstoppable, Song Wensong immediately sent Li Yuanze to lead the Jiangnan Army and another 20,000 Shandong troops to quickly meet him and build a defense line in the Zishui line south of Wuling. He told Li Yuanze:
"Xiao Ran is known as the three-pronged approach. His characteristic of using troops is that his nature is like a fire, so when fighting with him, you must avoid being eager for success and making a breakthrough. Instead, you should fight steadily and block his three-pronged approach!
So you should remember six words in this journey: building a tough village and fighting a stupid war. Have you remembered it?"
Li Yuanze nodded and said, "Don't worry, the victory or defeat of Jiangnan is not in Wuling. Prince, please welcome Lu Zheng's thief in person. This is the key to the victory or defeat! We only need to defend the defense line so that our opponents can't capture it for a long time. Their logistics supply will inevitably be in trouble. By that time, we will be beneficial!"
"Yuan Ze is not bad. I haven't followed me in vain for battles in the past few years. I feel relieved to have you and I have you!"
After Li Yuanze ordered his troops to fight, Song Wensong personally led tens of thousands of troops to Anqing Mansion. He knew in his heart that Lu Zheng would definitely go to the battle, and from Anqing south, he could go to water or land, so it was inevitable that Lu Zheng would win Anqing in this battle.
As the saying goes, Song Wensong must first defend Anqing. Before he set out on the war, Long Lingxiu summoned him personally. Seeing Long Lingxiu's face, Song Wensong wanted to vomit very much.
Thinking about the situation in Jiangnan today, it was all caused by this woman, but on the surface, he still couldn't reveal the slightest moment.
Long Lingxiu said: "Lu Zheng, we will have a battle with him sooner or later. Since we always have to fight, it is better for us to decide the winner now and decide the outcome! Lu Zheng, I really think that I am invincible in the world, but I don't know that our Jiangnan strength is no less than the other rivers.
More importantly, you, Song Wensong, may not be as good as Lu Zheng in other aspects, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, Lu Zheng is powerless, how can he compete with you?
Therefore, Wen Song, you must win this battle completely. I believe in you, and you will definitely be able to win this battle!"
"Come on, have a drink!"
Just like this, the meeting turned into a brave journey. At this time, Long Lingxiu was still immersed in the illusion of the empress ascending the throne. She still felt that everything was under her control. Even after calming down, she thought that Lu Zheng's rebellion should have been expected.
Lu Zheng has the strength to rebel and ambition to rebel, why doesn’t he rebel? Instead of waiting for Lu Zheng to be full of wings and rebel after winning, it is better to put me as the main force and force him to rebel. Since there will be a battle sooner or later, instead of letting Lu Zheng choose the time to fight, it is better to let Jiangnan choose this time.
Long Lingxiu talked and beautified that he was almost flawless in his name. Song Wensong felt distressed when he heard this, but he couldn't directly refute it. He was so irritable that he wanted to slap this woman a few times in the face.
Finally, he was finally free and could go to war. He personally led the army to attack Anqing. However, the army received eight hundred miles of urgent reports in the middle, saying that Liu Song led the army to attack Huainan Road and had successfully captured Huainan Road, creating a situation of crossing the river to Jiangnan.
When Song Wensong heard this news, his face changed suddenly and said:
"Everyone, what should we do now? Do we still have to win Anqing?"
"Prince, it's no point in attacking Anqing at this time, because once the war in Anqing is anxious, Liu Song will definitely know that our Jiangnan is empty, and his army can take advantage of the situation to take Jiangnan south. In this way, our backyard cannot be defended, and the situation will be really dangerous!" A strategist suggested to Song Wensong to withdraw his troops.
Then he was immediately refuted, and the reasons for refutation were very sufficient. Some generals said: "Lu Zheng concentrated all his troops into the three armies, and the threat from Shandong no longer exists.
At this time, the prince should let Tan Cheng go south quickly and head straight to Huainan Road, so that he and Liu Song fight on Huainan Road, so that Liu Song can't go south, so we can still fight with Lu Zheng near Anqing, and we still have a better advantage in the victory or defeat!"
As soon as this proposal came out, everyone immediately responded, because from the perspective of war, the two rivers army was fully equipped with elite troops, and they divided into three armies to attack Jiangnan. In this case, Jiangnan's strength seemed a little weak.
Anyone who knows a little about war understands that if you want to defend such a war, you cannot defend it, but you must work hard to take the initiative. Therefore, Anqing is very important, so if you can have a way to win Anqing, the decisive battle with Lu Zheng in Anqing is definitely the first choice.
The strategists were controversial, the generals were controversial, and the time was lost every minute. At this time, Song Wensong was hesitant and couldn't make up his mind. He and Lu Zheng were old opponents, not only old opponents, but also enemies for almost a lifetime.
The two have been fighting for half a lifetime. How many methods does Lu Zheng have? Song Wensong is very clear about what Lu Zheng wants to do. He understands that if he wants to fight an enemy like Lu Zheng, he must not have conservative ideas. If he wants to win the other party steadily, it is basically impossible.
However, adventure sometimes means a thousand-foot-deep abyss, and one step wrong will slide into the thousand-foot-deep abyss. This is really a terrifying thing.
"Mr. Dong, I have to look for you today. I really can't make up my mind! An Qing was the battlefield I chose, but Lu Zheng is very familiar with me. He obviously has already seen my intentions, so this beast actually used methods.
What method did he use? He let Liu Song occupy Huainan Road. If I conquer Anqing, he could let Liu Song cross the river from Huainan River and send troops directly to Jinling and Jiangning. I have to say that this move is too powerful!”
Song Wen paused and said, "If I remained in Jinling, I was waiting in Jinling. Jinling was not the first place to use troops. Secondly, Lu Zheng could take this opportunity to capture all the cities south of Anqing Prefecture one by one. In this way, Jinling will lose the outer barrier. From the Wuling line, the entire line will face the pressure of the two rivers. What should I do?"
Dong Yong sneered and said, "Song Wensong, I will ask you one thing, can you trust Tan Cheng? Lu Zheng used troops to divide Shandong and Jiangnan, which is the card he played!
If you ask the Tan family army to restrain Liu Song, will Tan Cheng use all his strength, will he beat Liu Song? Do you dare to give his back to Tan Cheng to defend?
If you dare to do this, then you can conquer Anqing with confidence and boldness and fight against Lu Zheng's army in Anqing. If you hesitate to do this, you can only stay calm for the time being and respond to all changes with the same change!"
Song Wensong was stunned for a moment, and sweated coldly all over his body. After a long time, he sighed and said:
"You are really a soul-searching question. Just imagine how could I trust Tan Cheng? Tan Cheng is the throne like me. Long Lingxiu doesn't trust him completely. Can I trust him?
I understand that my Dakang seems to be unified, but in fact, once Lu Zheng uses troops, he will split us again. Shandong is still Shandong, Jiangnan is still Jiangnan, and these two places have never been unified!"
Dong Yong snorted softly and said, "Not only that, these two places are still divided, but a madman Long Lingxiu appeared. If it were Long Zhaohuan at this time, I'm afraid the situation in the world would not be so bad. Now the situation..."
Song Wensong said: "Dong Yong, if it were you, how would you choose?"
Dong Yong shook his head and said, "If it were me, I would not have been able to conquer Anqing, because since everyone will die in the end, I also hope that I will die in the end! In fact, there is still an opportunity here!
As long as we remain unmoved, there will be a situation on Huainan Road. Neither Tan Cheng nor Long Lingxiu, they cannot tolerate Huainan Road being controlled by Lu Zheng, so it is inevitable that Tan Cheng will send troops!
Then, although Wuling can be stabilized for the time being, it is probably also retreating step by step. Anqing also needs to retreat. As long as bad news continues to spread to the capital, the hearts of the people in Jinling will collapse!
Prince, you should seize the sudden mutiny when this person's heart collapses, take down the palace, kill all Long Lingxiu's confidants, and then kill Long Lingxiu, so that Long Zhaohuan can ascend the throne again to the emperor. In this way, Long Zhaohuan will stabilize the situation again as the emperor, and there is still a last chance to fight the overall situation!"
Song Wensong stared at Dong Yong, and countless thoughts emerged in his mind. He wanted to say that Dong Yong was talking nonsense, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of anything to refute Dong Yong. He suddenly felt that Dong Yong's words seemed to be impeccable, and this was the only way in front of him.
With a long sigh, Song Wensong suddenly became extremely pessimistic about the future. He said, "If I had known today, why should I have been there? I should have stayed in Shandong and waited patiently. Even if I waited for ten or twenty years, I would have been able to wait for the opportunity. If I can't wait for the opportunity, it would be better than being so anxious now. I don't know when I will be over!"
Dong Yong said: "Yes, if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake every step. My mistake is to misread Long Lingxiu. This woman is a madman forever, and she is the kind of madman who ignores her and is completely desperate. She is even helping Lu Zheng, such a woman..."
Dong Yong beat his chest and stamped his feet. It was really hard to express his inner emotions.
Song Wensong immediately ordered the army to return to Jinling and build a defense line near Jinling. At the same time, he immediately submitted a memorandum to Long Lingxiu to explain the current situation. The content of the letter was very simple, that is, Huainan Road had been occupied by the opponent, and if Song Wensong attacked rashly, Jinling would be unable to protect it.
Long Lingxiu, a woman, didn't understand military affairs at all. When she heard that Huainan Road was lost, she only remembered that there was only a river between Huainan and Jiangnan. If Song Wensong really went to war, wouldn't Jinling be finished?
So she did not hesitate at all. While she was not in a position to stop Song Wensong from moving, she immediately issued an order to let the Shandong army Tan Cheng go south quickly and take Huainan at all costs. Tan Cheng's army finally moved.
