Ling Ning's first battle to conquer the world must be won beautifully. If he wins miserably or even loses, it will definitely shake the morale of the army.
So how to defeat Zheng Yichuan and capture Suizhou with thunderous means is the next thing to discuss. Although Ling Ning already has an idea in mind, he still needs to brainstorm.
Upon hearing Ling Ning's inquiry, counselors Jia Huaiying and Duanmu looked at each other. After a brief exchange of glances, Jia Huaiying took the lead and said, "My lord, this subordinate has some immature ideas!"
"Mr. Jia, please speak," Ling Ning said.
Jia Huaiying came to the map location, pointed to the location of Yingzui Stream, and said with a smile: "Please see, my lord, Zheng Yichuan's purpose is very clear, forcing us to take the middle road and fight at Yingzui Stream. The terrain of Yingzui Stream is complex, and the geographical advantage is completely In Zheng Yichuan's hands, and more than a hundred miles east of Yingzui Stream, there is Suizhou City. Equipment and supplies come quickly, so we can fight a protracted war, and we are almost invincible."
"But my subordinates feel that Zheng Yichuan's success is a failure, and his failure is a failure."
Ling Ning became interested and said with a smile: "Tell me in detail."
Jia Huaiying continued: "Zheng Yichuan pursued geographical advantages, but ignored that the location of Yingzui Stream was too close to Suizhou City, thus directly abandoning the western area of Suizhou."
"There are five counties in this area. My subordinates think that these five counties can be used as the starting point. Control these five counties first, and send the bully squires and the people whose families are Suizhou soldiers to Yingying. Drive in the direction of Zuijian..."
"At that time, Zheng Yichuan will definitely suspect that our troops are ambushing the crowd, so he will not dare to accept these people easily. By then, conflicts will inevitably arise."
"Zheng Yichuan's soldiers are all common people from various counties. They must be angry when they see their families being driven to Yingzui Stream but being blocked outside."
"In the end, Zheng Yichuan couldn't bear the pressure and had no choice but to take over these people and control them. And doing so will definitely cause greater conflicts."
"Let the enemy's internal chaos begin!"
“…”
As expected of Jia Huaiying, his tricks are vicious.
This is a plan to confuse the enemy, first causing internal chaos within the enemy.
At this moment,
Duanmu Shuang then recommended himself and said: "My lord, according to Mr. Jia's plan, let the enemy's army be in chaos first. My subordinates can take the opportunity to sneak into it, enter the enemy's army and then instigate rebellion."
"Zheng Yichuan is a foreign commander. He first arrived in Suizhou not long ago. He is not acclimatized to the local environment, so there must be people who disobey him. Secondly, the lord is very prestigious in Suizhou, so there must be people who are willing to change his ways and serve the lord."
"In addition, two armies need to be sent to the north and south official roads, pretending to be clearing the stones blocking the road, so as to divide the enemy's strength."
"It would be best if we can kill Zheng Yichuan. Even if we can't kill him, if we open the gap in Yingzui Stream so that our army can attack, we will win this battle."
"In addition, be careful of Bai Zhanhou Huang Yuanzhang, this thief will definitely attack from behind! You can use tactics to lure the enemy!"
"..."
Duanmu Shuang is Huang Yuanzhang's adviser and knows Huang Yuanzhang best.
Huang Yuanzhang was bullied so badly by Ling Ning that he would definitely launch a sneak attack.
Ling Ning nodded with satisfaction. This is the advantage of having a counselor. Originally, according to Ling Ning's idea, Zheng Yichuan's army was also confused, but his method was to use the beast army in the system.
Now it seems that Jia Huaiying's method is even better.
Ling Ning looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
The generals shook their heads.
Ling Ning immediately decided: "Just follow the plan of these two gentlemen!"
…
Early the next morning.
Ling Ning personally led the army to leave Heiya Pass and march towards Suizhou.
Du Shengheng and Du Twelve stood on the city and watched. Du Shengheng couldn't help but asked: "Sister, are you really not going to accompany your lord on the expedition?"
"I am the deputy general of Heiyaguan, and it is my duty to hold on here." Du Twelve didn't want to follow, but he still held back.
The army traveled more than a hundred miles east and came to a three-way intersection.
Ling Ning ordered Zhu Yuan to lead the Shen Yuan Army and take the northern official road. Order Xue Niu to lead the Tianniu army and take the southern official road.
The order given to the two men was also very simple, to create a loud momentum and thus contain Zheng Yichuan's 20,000 troops.
Zhu Yuan and Xue Niu were well aware of the mission and immediately led their troops away.
Next, Ling Ning led the army and continued on their way.
Just when Zheng Yichuan thought that his goal was achieved and he could deal with Ling Ning's army at Yingzui Stream, Ling Ning suddenly set up camp at a place called "Pingyuan Slope" and refused to leave.
Then Ling Ning ordered:
Let Lu Bao lead the Flying Leopard Army and march towards Qingshui County in the northwest.
Let Cao Hu lead the White Tiger Army towards Chun County in the northeast.
Let Zhang He lead the Heji Army and march towards Heimu County in the south.
Let Li Long lead the Jiaolong Army and march toward Yonglie County in the southeast.
Let Ma Ji lead the Tianma army and march toward Maodang County in the southwest.
As for Ling Ning, he led the other four armies to garrison the camp and not go anywhere.
…
Soon, Zheng Yichuan received information about the movements of Ling Ning's army.
"General, Ling Ning did not come to Yingzui Stream, but instead attacked Qingshui County and other counties. What should we do?" The general asked quickly with a worried look on his face.
This general's hometown is in Chun County, so he was very worried when he heard that Ling Ning sent troops to attack Chun County.
There are no troops in Chun County at all. There is only a militia group of a hundred or ten people. They are no match at all and can be defeated directly.
Not only him, but many soldiers in the army were citizens of the five counties, so they were very worried about Ling Ning's behavior.
Zheng Yichuan comforted him: "Our troops are limited and cannot protect the five counties. Moreover, Ling Ning is rebellious and values his reputation most. He will never dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately. The people of the five counties are safe and there is no need to worry."
As early as when Zheng Yichuan chose Yingzui Stream, he had already prepared for the occupation of Qingshui County and other five counties.
Ling Ning wants to occupy it, so let him occupy it. It can just disperse Ling Ning's troops, so why not?
Who would have thought that four or five days later, Zheng Yichuan would no longer be able to laugh.
When the people of the nearest Chun County dragged their families to Yingzui Stream, Zheng Yichuan was stunned.
At this time, the Yingzui Stream was built with wood and stone as a defensive wall, and the people were blocked from the door and were clamoring to get in.
Zheng Yichuan hurried over and asked, "What happened? Why are there so many people?"
The general replied: "Reporting to the general, the people outside are roughly divided into two parts. One part is the squires and wealthy families in Chun County, and the other part is those whose families are serving as soldiers in Suizhou. The rebel Ling Ning issued an order, saying that these people support The imperial court was an enemy of the rebels. But the rebel Ling Ning would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he drove these people away and let them go to Suizhou to survive. He also said that Chun County was already the territory of the rebels. "
After a pause, the general said worriedly: "General, it's not just Chun County, the situation is the same in the other four counties. More and more people are coming to Yingzui Stream. Do you want to open the door to let the people in?"
"You must not open the door!" Zheng Yichuan flatly refused and said, "This is a conspiracy by the rebel Ling Ning. There must be an ambush among these common people, so we must not open the door!"
Then Zheng Yichuan slapped the table angrily, obviously angry at Ling Ning's shameless behavior.
He didn't dare to attack head-on, yet he resorted to such shameless means!
hateful! hateful!
