Chapter 222 One-eyed Dragon Li Keyong(1/2)
At the end of the Chen Cang Road is the endless Guanzhong Plain. Tens of thousands of Han troops are in a mighty manner and the troops are coming out of Chen Cang.
"I finally came out of the mountain road."
When Liu Bang saw that the rugged mountain road had come to an end, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, look!"
Xiahou Ying, who was driving the carriage, reminded Liu Bang.
Liu Bang got off the carriage and had a red sword on his waist.
The cavalry general Guan Ying had climbed up to look at the other party's camp.
A group of Han generals climbed up to look out like Guan Ying.
Opposite is the camp of 100,000 Xia troops.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Bang and Xiahou Ying came to the highlands and met with Chen Ping, Guan Ying and others.
Military advisor Chen Ping had a serious expression: "The Xia army has taken countermeasures that I don't want to see."
Liu Bang looked at Xia Jun's camp and his face was pale.
I saw Feng Yi and Li Ji's army built a base with the Wei River back and for a long time, and it was as solid as a god.
Liu Bang led 100,000 Han troops out of the mountain, but Feng Yi and Li Ji could not stand and avoided the decisive battle with Liu Bang.
"According to the backup plan, we will cultivate farms in the Chencang area, and wait for the Xiliu Camp to arrive before attacking the Xia army."
Liu Bang took Feng Yi, but Li Ji was helpless, so he could only lead his troops to confront Feng Yi and Li Ji, and then dispatched some troops to farm in Chencang, using the farmland left by Cao Zhen to feed the Han army that came out of the mountains.
This is a preparatory plan that Liu Bang and Xiao He conspired.
If Feng Yi and Li Ji fight, then Liu Bang will set up an offensive formation at the exit of Chen Cang Road, cooperate with Chen Cangcheng's defenders to attack the Xia army from front to back.
If Feng Yi and Li Ji persisted, Liu Bang had to farm in Chencang, waiting for Zhou Yafu to train troops to find Feng Yi and Li Ji's flaws.
While Liu Bang and others were observing the Xia army camp, Feng Yi and Li Ji were also looking at the 100,000 Han troops coming out of the mountain.
Li Ji said: "Liu Bang's situation at this time was very similar to Zhuge Liang. Not far east, it was Wuzhangyuan."
Feng Yi didn't understand who Zhuge Liang was, but only knew that he was a prime minister at the end of the Han Dynasty.
However, Liu Bang's 100,000 Han troops came from afar, so his situation was naturally not much better.
The initiative lies in the hands of Feng Yi and Li Ji.
Feng Yi looked at the sandstorm raised by the 100,000 Han troops: "When will we fight, when will we fight, where will we fight, where will we fight. The advantage lies in me. I don't know what the result will be when Lord Liu Xiu fights with Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang here?"
Feng Yi thought of his lord Liu Xiu, whom he was loyal to.
Liu Xiu's abilities cannot be judged by common sense.
When Liu Bang's 100,000 Han troops arrived, Cao Shen brought Hao Zhao to meet Liu Bang.
"The last general will pay homage to Your Majesty!"
When Hao Zhao saw the legendary Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang, he was in awe.
Although Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, the Wei generals still respected Liu Bang who established the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bang is attractive to talents. When Hao Zhao saw Liu Bang, he couldn't help but feel good about it.
Zhang Hua's "destiny" talent also has a special attraction to talents, but the influence is subtle, so he doesn't care about it normally.
Liu Bang looked up and down at Hao Zhao: "I heard that you are good at defending the city. With you guarding Chen Cang, Chen Cang will definitely be as solid as a god."
Hao Zhao sighed: "The last general has more defense and lacks progress. It is unlikely that there will be a breakthrough and can only serve as a deputy general."
"Don't be too rude. Sometimes, if you defend a city, you can control the world."
Liu Bang's words made Hao Zhao feel more favorable.
Chen Ping thought to himself that a general like Hao Zhao who is not up or down may not be bad luck.
Generals who have great achievements and shock the master are easily afraid of the king.
Not to mention Han Xin and Ying Bu, even Liu Bang's brother-in-law Fan Kuai was almost killed by Liu Bang before Liu Bang died, because Fan Kuai had a close relationship with Lu Zhi and threatened the Liu family's world.
"This must be General Fan Kuai, with such a strong aura."
When Hao Zhao saw a burly general serving as a guard beside Liu Bang, he knew it was a powerful general Fan Kuai.
Fan Kuai just glanced at Hao Zhao, and Hao Zhao couldn't help but feel creepy.
Fan Kuai was at the Hongmen banquet and confronted Xiang Yu. He was called a hero by Xiang Yu, which shows Fan Kuai's martial arts.
Fan Kuai is likely to be Liu Bang's most powerful general.
I don’t know how compared to Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
Hao Zhao couldn't help but compare Fan Kuai with Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
"For the sake of the present, I can only wait for Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Camp."
Liu Bang set up camp in the Chencang area, and thousands of grain trucks came out of Chencang Road.
Hedong, swamps and reeds grow.
Grain trucks entered the camp built by the Xia army.
In front of the Northern Prefecture Army and the Imperial Guards was a large area of swamped reed land, muddy land, restricting the Jurchen cavalry.
The Jurchens were best at using cavalry to trap formation, and this terrain restricted cavalry maneuvers to the maximum extent.
Zhang Hua released the slaves from Hedong, and these rural brave men volunteered to assist the Xia army in transporting food and grass to the front camp.
"Brothers, it's Lord Zhang Hua who restores our freedom. We just transport food and grass without fighting. Do we refuse all this little thing?"
"Don't shirk it!"
"I want to join the Xia army, for tooth and for eye!"
After some township heroes transported the food and grass to the Xia army camp, they took the initiative to join the Xia army and deal with the Jurchens.
When Wanyan Zongwang ruled Hedong, the Jurchen cavalry plundered many places and even used prisoners as slaves, which led to the destruction of many families. Therefore, the local heroes were filled with righteous indignation and demanded to follow the throne.
"Dear Hedong fellows, my general heard that you are living in dire straits, so he brought his troops to rescue you."
"But military affairs are not a joke. I don't want you to lose your life in vain."
"I would also like to assist in transporting food and grass. When this battle is over, you can join the army."
Zhang Hua personally went out to the camp to explain to these indignant local warriors.
The soldiers and horses used by Zhang Hua to attack the Great Jin Kingdom were carefully selected elite soldiers. These rural brave men joined temporarily and would only do bad things with kindness and destroy Zhang Hua's deployment.
"It turns out that Lord Zhang Hua knows our predicament and comes to save us. Lord Zhang Hua is our reborn parents!"
"Lord Zhang Hua cherishes our lives and is reluctant to let us go. He really loves the people as his son!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
The local brave men who brought food knelt down one after another, shouting long live the mountains, and the people in Hedong rose sharply.
"It seems that the young master is loved by all the people."
Liang Hongyu can see that these Hedong residents are crying forever from the heart.
The dynasty in which Liang Hongyu lived was at the time when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed and Zhao Gou established the Southern Song Dynasty. The emperors at that time were relatively cowardly, and the Jurchens were rampant in the north.
In comparison, Zhang Hua is much better than those Song emperors.
Liang Hongyu thought to herself.
Tang Sai'er of the White Lotus Sect regarded Zhang Hua as a teacher. Seeing that Zhang Hua was very popular, she became more sure that Zhang Hua's theory was correct, and she firmly followed Zhang Hua to establish a world of great harmony.
“…”
Zhang Hua was helpless. He just didn't want these rural heroes to disrupt his deployment, but they misunderstood that they loved the people as if they were their sons.
After the noisy village warrior retreated, Zhang Hua and several generals climbed up to observe the Jin soldiers' camp.
The Jin soldiers' camp was opposite the swamp reed land. Due to the restrictions on the swamp terrain, the Jurchen cavalry could not play their advantages, so they could not directly defeat the Xia army.
The confrontation between the two armies is extremely dangerous.
Between the two armies, there is a swamp of reeds.
"The swamp here is not enough to completely resist the Jurchens. They can use firewood to build a dirt road for cavalry to attack. After the rest of the Jurchens dismount, they can also cross the swamp and attack our camps."
Chen Gong carefully observed the reed land and believed that the Jurchens still had a way to build a dirt road for the Jurchen cavalry to launch an attack.
"As long as the swamps can prevent the Jurchen cavalry from unfolding, our goal will be achieved. There are tens of thousands of cavalry in the Great Jin Kingdom, and these cavalry will definitely not be able to pass through the reed land, and some will definitely be limited by the quagmire."
Zhang Hua was not afraid of the Jurchens filling this swamp, because even if they fought head-on, Zhang Hua's 120,000 imperial guards, plus Xie Xuan's Northern Mansion Army, would be enough to beat the Jurchens.
Use terrain just to increase your chances of winning.
"Chief Yan, test the good or bad luck."
