Chapter 803: The Eagle and the Rabbit

Meng Gongzuo is the number one general in the world, which is recognized! Of course, Di Qing is not absolutely sure that he can beat Meng Gongzuo, and even a tie with Meng Gongzuo is difficult!

Of course...... The last time Di Qing fought with Meng Gong, after the two fought wits and courage, they did win and lose each other. But Di Qing only regained a little face by mistake at the end, otherwise, Meng Gong divided the troops three or four times, and Di Qing would have no way to deal with him at all!

The current Di Qing still needs to be honed, and Meng Gong is ...... is still the first in the world, no one can deny this.

But Xiao Mo knew that a Meng Gongzuo didn't mean anything, and ...... In the past, when the Liao State was strong, Meng Gongzuo was indeed the first general in the world, but now that the Liao State has declined, will Meng Gongzuo still be invincible in the world?

The answer is obviously impossible, from the country to the individual, it is the same, if you don't have the strength, you don't have the qualifications to compete for power!

Therefore, in Xiao Mo's heart, the current Di Qing's value is much higher than that of Meng Gongzuo. But this is only due to the current comparison of the strength of Anliao and Liaoning.

Why did Di Qing want to follow Xiao Mo to fight Xijing?

Di Qing naturally wouldn't be staring at the credit for being convicted or beheading Emperor Liao, what Di Qing wanted was an opportunity!

A chance to prove that he is no worse than Meng Gong!

And this opportunity, Xiao Mo is naturally willing to give it to Di Qing.

If Di Qing can defeat Meng Gongzuo, then Di Qing is the number one general in the world as a matter of course.

With the prestige of the first general at that time, I believe that it will be able to suppress many small countries and tribes, so ...... Xiao Mo wished that Di Qing could defeat Meng Gongzuo.

But...... Why did Xiao Mo refuse Di Qing's suggestion to come to the army on the Western Road?

The reason is very simple, Xiao Mo said, this is because he wants to balance the strength of the eastern and western armies.

Among the generals in Taiyuan now, there are Di Qing and Yang Paifeng, as well as Cao Xiang and Fu Heng, two generals who can be on their own.

Among the others, Yang Hong was the most courageous, and Wei Pingzhang and He Ding were the most experienced. Lu Zuo and Zhao Guanying, one is more wise than brave, the other is from the rivers and lakes, and they are more like Xiao Mo's generals.

And Liang Zheng and Chong Ge are both still little children and need to be experienced.

The Tiger Camp will definitely stay by Xiao Mo's side, and Yang Hong's Xiao Cavalry Battalion will definitely follow Xiao Mo, because Yang Hong, it's not that Xiao Mo really can't suppress him, or rather, he can't use this fierce general!

It's not that Li Zhun is more prestige than Xiao Mo, nor is it that Li Zhun is not as good as Xiao Mo in using troops, but Yang Hong only listens to Xiao Mo!

In this way, Xiao Mo has Yang Hong, Zhao Guanying, Liang Zheng and Chong Ge on his side, all of whom are young generals, so Xiao Mo needs a veteran to suppress the formation.

Wei Pingzhang is a good candidate, but Xiao Mo will definitely choose Cao Xiang, because Fu Heng and Cao Xiang, two generals who can take charge of themselves, will definitely not let them stay together, which is a waste of talent.

In the end, Lu Zuo must follow Xiao Mo, because Lu Zuo was originally the person brought out by Xiao Mo.

In this way, Xiao Mo has six generals on his side, and Taiyuan now has a total of eleven generals!

So Xiao Mo can't ask Di Qing anymore, in that case, it will be hypocritical for Xiao Mo.

There are eleven generals in total, and you have six of them, although two of the generals are young people, but it's enough, right?

On the other hand, on Li Zhun's side, only Fu Heng, Di Qing, Yang Paifeng, He Ding and Wei Pingzhang are left, basically all veterans of Taiyuan, Di Qing also served in Taiyuan before, and only Yang Paifeng joined the army later among these five people.

In this way, it seems fairer, although there is one less general on Li Zhun's side, the rest of the generals have been brutally tempered on the battlefield, and they are more experienced.

And on Xiao Mo's side, although Yang Hong is brave enough, but he is only charging into battle, when it comes to the talent of the generals who control the overall situation, Yang Hong is far worse than Di Qing. Moreover, none of the generals under Xiao Mo were veterans of the former Taiyuan or Northwest Army, so no one would say anything if they were distributed like this.

But Xiao Mo didn't take Di Qing with him, how could he say that Xiao Mo wanted Di Qing to win against Meng Gongzuo?

The problem lies in Di Qing's 200,000 cavalry!

This is the backbone of the An Dynasty, Di Young Ji has the backbone of the An Dynasty at a young age, which is a privilege!

Besides, who said that Meng Gongzuo must be in Xijing?

Although Yelu Hongji is mediocre, he is not stupid, and it is impossible for him to hide in Xijing after Xiao Mo broke through Daizhou and Yunzhou.

Isn't that a chance for Xiao Mo to catch turtles in an urn?

That's why Xiao Mo asked Di Qing to go to the Eastern Route Army, because Xiao Mo knew that although the future battle situation would be ever-changing, the Liao State would definitely lose, and no matter how it changed in the future, it wouldn't change anywhere.

If the army is overwhelmed, Yelu Hongji will definitely choose to transfer, after all, Xijing is not his lair, and Yelu Hongji will have no pressure to abandon the city at that time.

If Yelu Hongji is transferred, then it must be turned to the east, because the west is Xiazhou, and further north, it is the grassland.

The current grassland no longer belongs to Yeluhongji, or rather...... Whether it is Yelu Hongji or Liao, they have always had a weak control over the grassland.

This is also the reason why those leaders on the steppe say that they will rebel.

I can't go to the west and north, and the south is overwhelmed by a large army, so Yelu Hongji can only let the east flee at that time, either rush to the aid of Nanjing to fight against the East Road army of the An Dynasty, or hide back in Zhongjing, but no matter how Yelu Hongji chooses, in the end he can't avoid a battle with the East Road army of the An Dynasty!

This was what Xiao Mo thought in his heart, but Xiao Mo didn't make it clear to Di Qing, but just said to Di Qing: "Since you yourself are not sure that you can defeat Meng Gongzuo, then obey the military order and do your part honestly!" As for Meng Gongzuo...... Let me tell you again, any strong enemy will have his weak side, even if the enemy is so strong that there is no weakness, then ...... There will be a time when he will be weak, too! That's why there are so many battles in history where the weak defeated the strong! Do you understand? ”

Di Qing listened and shook his head at Xiao Mo in puzzlement.

Xiao Mo thought for a while and said, "Let's talk to you like this!" Why is it that when an eagle catches a rabbit, a rabbit that has no power to resist can make the eagle hover in the air for a long time before it moves? That's because rabbits have the advantage that they are weak but agile, so ...... The eagle hovered in the air, just waiting for the rabbit to make a mistake. The principle is the same, anyone will have weaknesses, as long as you find out where his weaknesses are, you can defeat him in one go! ”
