It was still this night, still in Guyuan County.
"Is that all?" Suo Zhou, who looked like a savage with a lush beard, stared at Huangfuli. His gaze was like an eagle soaring in the sky seeing a hare running on the ground.
"There are no omissions." Huangfuli lowered his head to hide the strange look in his eyes, and the figure of Li Zhengbao who he had entrusted to him before leaving flashed in his mind.
Liang Luoren sighed: "When His Majesty was the former Sui Dynasty General Ying Yanglang, he once mentioned that although Li Zhengbao did not study at a young age, he is indeed talented. It is true."
Suo Zhou snorted, "The method is quite vicious."
Based on Liu Heier's past marching style, it is indeed very likely that he would choose to go out and invite a fight at the beginning of the war in order to weaken the enemy's spirit. This man joined his uncle for only half a year, but his bravery was unparalleled and few in the army could match him.
More than a month ago, Dou Gui, the deputy general manager of Lingzhou Road's march, led an army to attack. Liu Heier came out to invite a battle and killed five Tang army generals in a row.
If Li Zhengbao could successfully block Liu Hei'er outside the pass, it would be almost impossible for him to survive. Then he would mobilize the troops from the two towns on the left and right, and then welcome the Tang army into the city... In that case, the Tang army would not only be able to successfully control the city, but also It can also easily conquer the two towns on the left and right that are at odds with the city, and block the entrances and exits in the north and south directions.
At that time, Liang Jun could only hope to storm back and recapture the city... But this possibility is very low, and he must also beware of Tang Jun splitting his troops to outflank and cut off the retreat from the north and south.
But if the city cannot be recaptured, Liang Jun will have no way to recover. Can he expect to defeat the elite Tang army soldiers who can defeat the Turks in a field battle outside Guyuan County?
A few months ago, Liang Luoren was defeated by Guan Guogong Ren Gui outside the county town and fled all the way.
Even if he did not choose to fight in the field and instead defended the county seat, Liang Luoren did not have much confidence. The Tang army was not as good at attacking cities as the grassland tribes, and Guyuan County was not as strong as Tongwan City.
What's more, being trapped in the county, the Tang Army from Longzhou direction is likely to send troops. Although the heavy snow will make it more difficult to attack the city, it will also make it difficult for the Liang Army from Shimenguan, Lingzhou and other places to come to rescue in time.
The main military reason why Liang Luoren and Suo Zhou were confident in holding on to Guyuan was that the city area shielded Guyuan.
Therefore, Liang Luoren said that Li Zhengbao did have some vision, and Suo Zhoucai said that Li Zhengbao's plan was vicious.
"Catch him?" Suo Zhou's idea was simple, just catch him and kill him.
Liang Luoren shook his head, "After all, His Majesty got him from the Tang Army. If he were to be killed like this, I'm afraid the morale of the army would be unstable."
Suo Zhou was indifferent to this and muttered a few words, while Huangfuli was thoughtful... Although there was no conclusive evidence, the reason for capturing Li Zhengbao to shake the morale of the army did not seem to be sufficient.
"I've heard about Li Huairen for a long time..." Liang Luoren smiled a few times and said leisurely: "Have you heard that the King of Handan in the Tang Dynasty is similar to the King of Qin?"
Huangfu Li suddenly realized, "King Xia wants to lure the enemy deeper?"
Liang Luoren sneered: "In the battle of Jingzhou, Li Huairen personally charged into the battle with the Chinese army's flag."
Now even Suo Zhou understood. After all, the two famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, King of Qin, and Li Huairen, King of Handan, had such a good reputation for seeking death in this regard.
However, Li Shan himself did not think so. He often chose to go into battle in person to catch a glimpse of the fighter planes, and that was often the moment of decisive battle. Li Shimin's act was truly seeking death. He would detect the enemy's true strength and be besieged, and his friendly troops would be attacked at night with dozens of them. The personal guards had to go to support, and they even did things like a few people hanging thousands of enemy soldiers to fly kites.
"Will you really come?"
"It's very possible." Liang Luoren licked his lips, "If we succeed, the Tang army will definitely be defeated!"
"Even if we can't attack Jingzhou, Yuanzhou can protect itself. If we can capture and kill Li Huairen..."
Huangfuli was a little nervous. If Li Shanzhen was killed and the Tang army was defeated... he knew it well. After two disastrous defeats by Li Shenfu and Ren Gui, the Taoist soldiers in the pass suffered heavy losses. Except for the King of Handan, the rest Fuzhou can no longer spare much troops.
If Liang Luoren chooses to go south, it is very likely that he will sweep through Jingzhou and Ningzhou, then cross the river and detour, and attack Longzhou from the front and back, and half of the pass will be swallowed up by it.
The DPRK will not be able to deploy troops so quickly, and the remaining troops will probably concentrate on Chang'an to hold on. If the Liang divisions quickly go south and attack everywhere, they may be able to capture the entire Guannei Road.
"That Erlang of the Liu family, let him secretly communicate with the Tang army." Liang Luoren looked at Huangfuli, "There is no need to tell the truth."
"yes."
"You go back first, and be careful on the road."
"yes."
Watching Huangfuli leave, Liang Luoren whispered: "If you want to make the Tang army fall into the trap, or even make the King of Handan come to the battle in person, you must lose Nanguan Town first."
Suo Zhouchi asked: "Where is the city?"
"That city cannot be lost." Liang Luoren shook his head, "Li Zhengbao will go to that city at dawn, and everything must be on hold..."
After discussing for a long time, although it was still dark outside the window, it was already early in the morning. Suozhou yawned and went out. He was a member of the Tiele tribe. Although his ancestors had lived in Shuofang County as early as his ancestors, he rode horses and hunted when he was young. Liang Luoren was not literate and was not good at and did not like intrigues and intrigues. Liang Luoren was a little worried and arranged the details in great detail.
The snowflakes blown randomly by the north wind got into the collar playfully. Suo Zhou shuddered and patted it hard a few times. Suddenly his body stiffened and he couldn't help but look back. Although he also knew that it was dark. Nothing can be seen in the night sky.
If everything is on hold, but you have to give up Nanguan Town to lure the enemy deeper, it is equivalent to giving up Liu Hei'er... Originally Suo Zhou thought Li Zhengbao was a bit miserable, but now that he thinks about it, Liu Hei'er is even worse.
Also on this night, outside Baiquan County, nearly a hundred miles away from Guyuan County, Li Shan looked at several letters in his hand with a dumbfounded look, namely Cui Xin, Princess Pingyang, Ling Jing and Wang Renbiao.
Fortunately, Wang Renbiao was smart and notified Princess Pingyang at the critical moment, otherwise the loss would have been inevitable... The Luo family would definitely have trouble with me!
Li Shan calculated in his mind that he had kept Xue Wanche and Feng Li in the army. The only ones that Prince Li Jiancheng or Pei Shiju, the old fox, could use were Li Gaoqian, Luo Shou, and Luo Yang. Most of them were useless.
Even if Li Gaoqian clamored for his soldiers, Chai Shao was ordered to control the Beiya Forbidden Army and there would be no trouble, and the Changlin Army in the Forbidden Garden... After the battle at Tiantai Mountain this year, the East Palace was reprimanded by Li Yuan several times for this reason. It is said that there were It is possible to break up the organization and merge into the Bei Ya Forbidden Army, but Li Yuan has not yet made up his mind to easily store it, so he hasn't had time to do it yet.
Changlin's army has about three thousand people, and its combat power is not strong. Li Shimin once said personally that it is nothing more than a large army attack. With just the personal guards of the generals of Tiance Mansion, hundreds of warriors can defeat the enemy.
But things are different now. Luo Yi returned to the court, and it is said that he brought back more than a hundred personal guards. These personal guards are likely to be sent to the Changlin Army to serve as grassroots generals. This will increase the combat effectiveness of the Changlin Army in a short period of time. .
No matter what method Pei Shiju uses, Luo Yi is definitely the most critical chess piece.
Li Shan felt a little regretful. If this matter could be arranged in advance, Luo Yi might be able to be driven out of Chang'an again, and the situation would be much more stable.
