Chapter 873 Doctrine of Gan Gang!
The difficulties encountered by the Liaodong Army in the Central Plains were more serious than expected. Liu Song actually lost Jingzhou carelessly, allowing Cao Weiming to slip away. On the other side, Kuang Zi, who was reckless and impulsive, led more than 10,000 troops to the heart of the Central Plains. He thought it was a victory to pursue, but in fact it was a lonely army to go deep into the army. After Lu Zheng received the news, he was too late to stop it. He could only pray for this guy to be blessed and his life. However, in front of an old man like Tan Lei, Kuang Zi could no longer escape without hesitation.
"The plan is already in chaos. Our idea of a decisive battle with our opponents in Wangzhou and Huazhou has become quite unrealistic. Cao Weiming was able to cut off his arm's arm because he was determined to deal with us. From Bingzhou to the south, the area is so vast that Cao Weiming insisted on hiding and seeking with us. We were exhausted and might not be able to catch him!
As for Tan Lei, this person is very scheming and very treacherous. If as expected, Kuangzi should have been entangled at this time. If we ignore Cao Weiming and pounce on Wangzhou, he will retreat with one blow and give Wangzhou to us. In the end, we have even lengthened the front line, and it is difficult to take care of both the north and the south!" Chen Lizhong said slowly.
He is a very calm and steady person, and he is in a normal and stable manner, so everything he does is basically safe and reliable.
Therefore, Lu Zheng usually likes to use Chen Lizhong's strategy when he is cautious. Chen Lizhong has another characteristic, that is, he is good at analyzing his own weaknesses. For example, now that the Liaodong Army is in danger, he knows the best at analyzing his own shortcomings. Many things can be easily known when he hears his words.
Lu Zheng frowned slightly and pondered silently. After a long time, he looked around and said, "No matter what, although we have encountered difficulties, we are still quite superior in strength. With the current situation, how should we deal with it?"
Qi Yuanzhi said: "Prince, our biggest passiveness is caused by poor food and grass! Imagine if we have six months of available food, such as Cao Weiming, it would be like seeking death. As for Tan Lei who needs to abandon Wangzhou, we will accept it without any ambiguity!
Since it is difficult for food and grass, we can use our plans and follow the flow. We should simply attack Wangzhou. In fact, the goal is to directly take the land of Hebei. After obtaining Hebei, we will stabilize the food supply, and then in turn attack Tan Lei and Cao Weiming. This will not only be an invincible place, but also allow our army to grow and grow. In the long run, this plan is the strategy of planning the country!"
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, pondered silently, and fell into deep thought. The situation in the Central Plains was unexpected, and the situation was moving in the direction he did not want. An ominous premonition made Lu Zheng feel restless.
You should know that this time Lu Zheng decided to send troops, which was a great adventure in itself. The most terrifying thing about this kind of adventure is that once you take action, you will be able to draw the bow without turning back, and there is no possibility of turning around at all.
Can Lu Zheng give up the Central Plains and retreat back to Liaodong? Obviously, he will definitely die when he returns to Liaodong now, because the line in Jiangnan is broken and the grain roads in the Central Plains are gone. Where can Liaodong have a foundation for survival?
So, for Lu Zheng, he must do it even if he doesn't work, and he must make it even if he doesn't want to go. He must create a world in the Central Plains.
Qi Yuanzhi is a powerful strategist, and his strategy is also very feasible, but Lu Zheng has to think about a lot more things. At present, the problems in the Central Plains are threats from both sides, Cao Weiming and Tan Lei, but in the dark, things are far from that simple.
Su Zhi came from Jiangnan to the Central Plains, and now she suddenly hid in Xiangyang. Long Lingxiu must have performed some movements behind her back, so this person must be on guard.
In addition, Long Zhaoyan has not had a good meal in the Central Plains soldiers over the years. He was able to break free from Tan Lei and sit firmly in Henan alone. His strength cannot be underestimated. It is very likely that this guy has a killer move. If so, Lu Zheng has always faced great danger.
Because of the battle between Lu Zheng and Cao Weiming and Tan Lei, if he could gain the upper hand and be invincible, he would probably have restrained these forces in the secrets of the Central Plains.
But once Lu Zheng is tired or is as confused as he is now, these people hiding in the dark will definitely be ready to move, thinking that there is an opportunity to take advantage of these people, Lu Zheng has to be careful of them.
Therefore, taking Hebei alone cannot let Lu Zheng be safe, nor can Lu Zheng control the overall situation. If Lu Zheng really wants to control the situation, he must fully control the vast area from Bingzhou to Hebei. In other words, he must master the granary and the passages in and out of Liaodong. Only in this way can he enter the Central Plains this time be considered a barely successful!
"Report, Prince, General Kuang Liangguo reported the emergency military information. Tan Lei, the Central Plains Army, led tens of thousands of troops to surround him. Kuang Liangguo had already fought with them on the front line of Masangkou!
Kuang Liangguo said that although the Central Plains Army is large and wide, and although Tan Lei’s army was still under his command, Kuang Liangguo was confident of fighting with the enemy. He told the prince not to think about him, and could take this opportunity to quickly take down Wangzhou, and then close the door and beat the dog, so that the Tan, who was surnamed Tan, had no way to escape south!" The scout loudly reported, looking at his appearance, his voice was loud and full of confidence. It was obvious that this news made him very excited, and this statement really shocked the whole room.
Lu Zheng said with a "huo" and said, "This Kuangzi, he really thinks he has three heads and six arms. Tan Lei has at least 70,000 troops under his command. Even if he has reservations, he should have 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry. He only has 10,000 people, 50,000 to 10,000. How to fight? He will definitely lose, and it is even a terrible sight!"
Chen Lizhong said with a serious expression: "Hurry, take the topographic map near Masangkou!"
The meeting hall was busy for a while, and the soldiers took out the picture of Ma Sangkou and laid it out. Lu Zheng came closer and saw the picture and frowned slightly.
Chen Lizhong said: "Prince, although this guy Kuang Liangguo is arrogant and domineering, he even likes to be greedy for merit and advancement, he has a unique trick when it comes to war.
Look at this Masandou is a deadly place. It looks flat here, but ten miles away, there is a canyon, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
What’s even more interesting is that there are three rivers here, which are not big, but our Liaodong horses can cross the water. However, some of the Central Plains horses in Tan Lei’s army are small but cannot cross the river smoothly. This is the wonderful thing!”
Chen Lizhong paused and said, "If Kuang Liangguo uses troops properly, there will be some achievements in this area. I dare not say that he can beat Tan Lei, but he should be worried about delaying his life for a while!
For Tan Lei, he did not win the Kuang Liang Kingdom quickly, and you have the best fighter. At this time, we quickly went south and headed straight to Wangzhou. After taking Wangzhou and then swung his sword to the north. Tan Lei's tens of thousands of troops would inevitably be trapped in Masangkou. At that time, he was unwilling to fight to the decisive battle, and we would definitely win this battle. By that time, haha, Tan Lei was afraid that he would cry without tears!"
Lu Zheng suddenly punched the table and shouted: "Transfer a letter to Kuang Liangguo to me, telling him that I am using troops privately, and I am very angry at the eagerness for quick success and instant benefits. I vow to kill him to correct our military discipline!"
After Lu Zheng said these words, the whole audience was silent in an instant. Many people were immediately frightened and looked like a slut. Several generals with good personal relationships with Kuang Liangguo were even ready to kneel down and plead for Kuang Liangguo!
At this moment, Lu Zheng changed his tone and said, "But you can tell Kuang Liangguo immediately that if he can really hold Tan Lei back for a few days this time, I can let him compare his merits and demerits! Remember, when fighting, you need to use your brain, not only courage, but also strategy, and courage and strategy are of great use!"
After Lu Zheng said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then Lu Zheng once again made arbitrary decision, saying: "Liu Song continued to stay on the front line of Huazhou and Wangzhou. The army followed me to seek Wangzhou. After Wangzhou, let Liu Song return to Wangzhou. The main army rushed to Hebei, captured the thirteen counties of Hebei, quickly gained a foothold in the Central Plains and then slowly planned it!"
Lu Zheng suddenly became decisive and decisive. The so-called time and time, Lu Zheng was hesitant before because he couldn't figure out the strength of the Central Plains, especially because he was worried that the power hidden in the dark of the Central Plains would be suddenly used, so that his Liaodong Army might not be able to control the situation.
But the situation is different now. Tan Lei used all the elite strategies to Kuang Liangguo, and Kuang Liangguo's only 10,000 troops were defeated without being hit by him. This shows that Tan Lei could at least not quickly pose a major threat to the Liaodong Army near Wangzhou.
Since this is the case, Lu Zheng can quickly press all his strength up, first go to Wangzhou, then rely on Wangzhou to close the door and fight dogs, and then let Liu Song wave his sword to Wangzhou, attack Tan Lei in the south of Huazhou and north of Wangzhou, quickly causing great casualties. In this way, Lu Zheng can take Hebei again and can even draw the entire territory of the Central Plains again!
The art of war is nothing more than the word "strange and righteous". When should a surprise soldier be produced and when should a dignified war be upright, the subtlety of it is difficult to express in words.
All parties involved in the Central Plains War, whether Cao Weiming or Tan Lei, were all skilled and well versed in military affairs. However, on the battlefield, they may not be able to fully see through these things. In fact, in addition to their strength, the victory or defeat of the battlefield cannot be ignored. The main general's control over the overall situation and direction.
Undoubtedly, Lu Zheng is different from ordinary people in this regard. He has strong judgment ability. When it comes to real swords and guns, he can't kill the enemy in battle. But if he is planning and attacking the enemy with the key points, it is his specialty!
