Chapter 693: King Qin's Plan
After learning that Li Shimin had recovered Shangjun in one fell swoop, the Tianshi Empress stopped her intentions and ordered her trustee Quan Hongtian to immediately lead 500 masters to secretly rush to Li Shimin's army to serve, and also brought her
A handwritten letter.
After Li Shimin recovered Shangjun, he did not rush to cross the water and pursue the Liao army. Instead, he ordered the army to build a floating bridge on the banks of Luoshui and wait for the large army to come up. A few days later, the large army arrived, and Li Shimin left 10,000 troops to guard Luo.
He led the main force across the Luoshui River to the north. At this time, the scouts in front heard news that Luo Yi had retreated to Yan'an County to defend against his own attack. Li Shimin led his army to advance directly and arrived two days later
Yan'an City was down. At this time, Luo Yi had only 20,000 troops guarding Yan'an. Facing Li Shimin's nearly 300,000 troops, this battle was no surprise. It only depends on how long Luo Yi could persevere.
Yi had made the worst plan, and planned to give up Yan'an and retreat to Shuofang when Yan'an could not hold on. For this reason, he had already sent people to Shuofang to prepare for it. However, what surprised Luo Yi was
After Li Shimin arrived outside Yan'an City, he did not immediately launch an attack.
In the Tang army's tent, Li Shimin was discussing military affairs with all the generals.
Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion: "King Qin, why don't we attack Yan'an immediately? The men are not tired!"
Li Shimin smiled slightly, but did not answer, but looked at Xu Maogong and asked, "What do you think, sir?"
Xu Maogong stroked his beard under his jaw, smiled slightly, clasped his fists at Li Shimin and said, "Is Your Highness the King of Qin considering the movements of King Liao?"
Li Shimin nodded with a smile and praised, "Those who know me are Brother Xu!" Cheng Yaojin had no idea what the two of them were fighting, and asked angrily: "What are you talking about? I
Lao Cheng couldn't understand a word! We are talking about the Great Yan'an, what's wrong with King Liao?"
Xu Maogong smiled and said angrily: "If you don't read military books, you can't even understand such a simple truth!"
Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "If reading is useful, then what do we do? Fake gods, you can say it if you want to say it, and don't say it if you don't want to say it, so why do you do that messy things?" Xu Maogong smiled bitterly
Then he said to Li Shimin: "King Qin, look, it's mine!" Li Shimin smiled and said: "Who told you to talk about studying with Lao Cheng? Isn't that a bad person?" Cheng Yaojin raised a big shot at Li Shimin
Thumbs up and said, "The King of Qin's words are the most reasonable!" Xu Maogong shook his head with a wry smile.
Cheng Yaojin thought of the topic just now and asked hurriedly: "King Qin, my old Cheng asked you why you didn't attack Yan'an immediately, why did you get involved with King Liao?" Li Shimin smiled and said: "Our real enemy is not Luo Yi."
, It's the King of Liao Zhang Lang! Our army has already broken through Shangjun and crossed the Luoshui soldiers to the city of Yan'an. Could it be that King of Liao will not have any ideas? Will he not have any actions?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, and then understood
Come over and shouted: "King Liao will definitely not watch us seize Yan'an, he will definitely need to support Yan'an!..." Cheng Yaojinman thought he had made the decision, but he did not expect that the King of Qin and the fake god were both ambiguous.
His smile was obviously laughing at him for being wrong!
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but get angry and asked angrily: "Did I guess wrong again? Is this impossible?"
Xu Maogong smiled and said, "Old Cheng, you are basically not wrong, but the details are wrong. The King of Liao will not sit idly by, that's for sure, but the King of Liao will never come to Yan'an with limited troops to support, because
With the troops he currently has, even if he comes to Yan'an, it is impossible to stop us from seizing Yan'an. So he has only one choice, that is, to raid Shangjun..." Cheng Yaojin finally understood when he heard this, and said with a sudden realization:
"He wants to fight our food and grass transfer base!"
Li Shimin said: "Yes! Shangjun is currently a transit station for our army's food and grass from the rear to the front line. If we can attack this place, it will inevitably lead to our army's food and grass being unstable. We can only temporarily withdraw our army! As for the current situation,
, The King of Liao had no other choice but to raid Shangjun!"
Cheng Yaojin said excitedly: "Then we will lead our army to ambush around Shangjun, and when he arrives, he will capture him alive!" Li Shimin and Xu Maogong laughed loudly, and Xu Maogong gave Cheng Yaojin a thumbs up and praised: "
Old Cheng still has two brushes!" Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and said proudly: "I can't just two brushes!" Then he clasped his fists at Li Shimin and said: "King Qin, let me lead my army to Shangjun
Ambush!" Li Shimin thought for a moment and looked at Xu Maogong. Xu Maogong nodded. Li Shimin smiled and said to Cheng Yaojin: "Since old Cheng volunteered, I will hand over this most important task to you! You will lead the troops.
50,000, I will secretly leave tonight and return to Shangjun!" Cheng Yaojin agreed with his fists.
At this moment in Taiyuan, although Li Daozong was already at the city, he did not take an offensive, but instead took a defensive with an army of 300,000. Don’t blame him for being timid and cowardly. He suffered too much loss before and did not dare to be careless at all at this moment.
He was also preparing to wait until the army led by the King of Qin completely defeated Luo Yi and cut off the retreat route of the current Liao army from the rear. At that time, under the attacks from the front and back, the only way for the King of Liao to be brave and good at fighting was to be defeated.
Zhang Lang was standing in front of the sand table and looked at the current situation. His brows were slightly frowning. Not long ago, he had received a letter from Luo Yi and learned about the loss of Shangjun. This was a bit beyond him.
As expected, he originally thought that Luo Yi could resist at least ten days in Shangjun, but he did not expect that Shangjun would be lost so soon. The situation took a sharp turn and was quite unfavorable to his side! However, Qin Qiong was still in a stalemate with the Western Turks.
I don’t know if the pre-specified plan can be realized! If it is the worst case...
Shaking his head, temporarily throwing these thoughts behind his head.
Luo Cheng clasped his fists and said, "Brother, Li Daozong has no intention of attacking. Why don't you let the last general lead the army to raid Shangjun! After burning their food and grass, they can only withdraw their troops temporarily!" Zhang Lang thought and nodded.
, said: "You defend the city, and I will lead the army to raid myself!"
Speaking of which, the 50,000 army led by Cheng Yaojin went south and soon returned to Shangjun. According to Li Shimin's instructions, a huge pocket formation was placed on both sides of the Luo River. Cheng Yaojin felt that although the elite Liao army was good at fighting, he would only enter.
With this pocket array, there will be only one way to eliminate the entire army.
At the same time, the Tianshi Empress, who was in Chang'an, had already learned about the Qin King's plan. She stood under the starry sky and looked at the stars in the sky. She couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "I didn't expect that the invincible Liao King would be invincible in the world.
