Chapter 705: The Triple Alliance

"If you accidentally make a move, you will lose all the plates" In the king's tent, Li Mi glanced at Zhu Wenwu on both sides and sighed. "Strategist, tell you about our current situation."

Shen Luoyan got up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the latest situation at the moment is that Luokou is facing us with Wang Xuanying's 100,000 Jianghuai Army, but the Hebei Army is not among them, except for the thousands of Hebei Navy Divisions operating those warships, Chen Kefu and his 50,000 Hebei Army have already come out of their shells. We have been kept in the dark by him, our intelligence shows that those Hebei troops have long been divided into two routes, one of which is 30,000 people led by Hebei generals Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke, they ascended to the south bank of the Yellow River upstream of Luokou, and then passed an unknown path, crossed the mountain, and then raided and occupied Luokou Cangcheng on the night of the second day. ”

"On the other hand, about 15,000 people were led by Chen Ke's relatives, who crossed the Yellow River in the Luokou section under our noses, and in the early morning of the third day, they cooperated with the Tiger Prison Guards to win the Tiger Prison Pass."

"Everyone, please look," Shen Luoyan pointed out, holding a map of Henan hanging on the screen in the tent, "Now the Hebei army has occupied Luokou Cangcheng and Hugao Pass on our east and west, cutting off our retreat, our reinforcements, and even more cutting off our grain and grass. In the west, 30,000 soldiers and horses of Guo and Lu in Luokou Cangcheng, 5,000 Qin Qiong's troops in Hujiao, and now Wang Xuanying's 100,000 Jianghuai army directly opposite us have surrounded us on three sides. ”

The generals in the tent couldn't help frowning urgently, and they were collectively silent.

Shen Luoyan was not shocked, and continued, "This is not the worst situation at the moment, we just received an urgent report, Chen Kefu continued to sweep the cities of Xingyang County after taking the tiger prison, and at the same time, the Hebei general Luo Yi led 30,000 people to cross the Yellow River and attack the south bank of the Yellow River. On the other side, Hebei General Li Jing also sent troops in Shandong at the same time, attacking from both sides of Lu County and Pengcheng County. Not long ago, the latest news we received was that the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Chen Kefu, Luo Yi, and Li Jing had captured all of our six counties east of Tongji Canal. Dozens of cities were lost, and 200,000 soldiers and horses in the six counties were all captured by the Hebei army. At present, the army of the Third Route of Hebei has approached the only remaining city in the east of our canal. ”

The sound of inhalation sounded in unison, and they knew that Luokou and Hujiao had lost it, but in only two or three days, the six counties and dozens of cities on the east bank of the canal were all lost at once, and more than 200,000 troops were all wiped out at once. This made no one in the tent calm. Combined with the losses in the previous battles, they lost 300,000 troops in five days, which is half of all the soldiers and horses of Wei.

"It's 200,000 pigs, let the Hebei army catch 100,000 people, and it is impossible to catch them all in five days." Zu Junyan shouted angrily.

"I know best that none of the rebels who came to defect can believe it, and when it comes to the critical moment, all the mother's eyes will fall."

The Wei civil and military officers in the tent were first surprised, and then angry, and they were all scolding the generals of the six counties.

"Everyone, everyone!" Li Mi had to get up, stretched out his hands and pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, those people are indeed not worth believing, but when we first took them in, we didn't think about what they could do, and now that they have descended, we don't need to be so angry. These people are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, even if they surrender Chen Kefu, we don't need to panic. Now everyone should know everything and find a better solution to our current situation. ”

Shen Luoyan pondered for a long time, "King Wei, there are only two roads in front of us now. ”…,

"Which two paths?" Li Mi asked urgently.

"The first way, let Bing Yuanzhen hold the Jindi Pass, and we immediately returned to Luokoucang, and ordered 80,000 soldiers and horses from Baihua Valley and Yanshi to attack Luokoucang. There are 50,000 elite defenders in Jindi Pass, and Jindi Pass is a high wall, as long as Jindi Pass can hold on for a period of time and hold back Chen Kefu's army, then we can first defeat the 30,000 Hebei Army in Luokoucang and recapture Luokoucang City. In the end, after we gathered all the soldiers and horses, we will fight Chen Ke in a duel! ”

Li Mi was silent.

After losing the six counties east of Luoyang and the 300,000 soldiers and horses, Li Mi still had 300,000 soldiers and horses together. Among them, Jindiguan has his 50,000 elites, in addition, at this time, Luokou has 100,000, Yanshi and Baihuagu 80,000, Kim Yongcheng has 50,000, and Xuchang, Yingchuan County has 20,000 elite soldiers and horses. In addition to these last 300,000 people, Wei also recruited many mountain bandits and water thieves in the seven counties of Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, Ruyin, Runan, Huaiyang, Yuyang, and Huai'an. The subordinates of these new county commanders, school captains and other leaders added up, in fact, there were quite a few of them, but after the 200,000 people in the six counties of Xingyang surrendered without a fight, Li Mi had already died of heart for these people.

Li Mi still has a lot of his own soldiers, and among the 300,000 people, even if he excludes the 100,000 people in Jindi Pass and Kim Yong City, he still has 200,000 people. Moreover, most of these 200,000 people are long-fought soldiers, and they can be regarded as elite soldiers.

Shen Luoyan's plan just now was very simple, that is, let his fighters break their wrists and drag Chen Kefu's army with 50,000 soldiers and horses at Jindi Pass for a while. Then they gathered all the soldiers and horses they could, first pressed Luokoucang back, and then turned back to fight Wang Xuanying's 100,000 Jianghuai army before Chen Kefu's army arrived. If they win the Jianghuai army, then they still have a chance.

"Nope." Li Mi shook his head, "The 100,000 Jianghuai army is right behind us, and it is not easy for us to eat the 30,000 Hebei army in Luokoucang first." What's more, the Jianghuai army is not weak, and in the battle of Luokou, you also saw their strength. In a decisive battle with the Jianghuai army, even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory in the end, how can we face Chen Kefu's 100,000 Hebei army again? ”

Henan is the hinterland of the Central Plains, the center of the world, and looks around in all directions. Li Mi knew that if he followed this plan, even if he could really defeat the Jianghuai army, it would not be him who won in the end. The Chen Dynasty in the southeast, Yang Jun in the southwest, and Chen Kefu in the north, none of them are easy to deal with. Once his strength is greatly damaged, the other parties will definitely pounce on him and eat him without even a single bone left. At such a time, Li Mi didn't dare to take out all his belongings and fight, and he couldn't afford to fight.

"I don't know what the second path of the military division is?" Li Mi said helplessly.

Shen Luoyan looked at Li Mi and sighed in his heart, secretly sighing that Li Mi still had no determination to fight at this time.

"The second way, but it's also simple. Originally, this was just an ambush battle, but Chen Kefu turned our army against us, expanded the battle in an all-round way, and caught us off guard. In that case, we might as well expand this battle as well. If you want to fight, let's turn him upside down. ”

"What's the expansion method?" Fang Xuanzao asked suspiciously, all the capital of the Wei Kingdom has been placed here, how can it be expanded.

"King Wei, the heroes are competing for deer, and there are not only Chen Kefu and King Wei in the world. Since he Chen Kefu knows that Wang Xuanying is pulled into his chariot, how can we be alone in the passage? Who doesn't have a few friends? King Wei, Yan State in the north, and Chen State in the south are all sworn enemies of Hebei, and they are our firm allies. The three of us have already formed an alliance and agreed to deal with Chen Kefu together. Now that we are in trouble, is it not the right time to use them? What's more, the lips are cold and the teeth are cold, and I want to believe that they all understand this truth. It's impossible, you can't save yourself when you die. ”…,

Li Mi's eyes lit up, Chen Kefu was menacing, this time he calculated him, and dispatched three soldiers and horses at one time, a total of more than 100,000 troops, and also pulled up Wang Xuanying of the Jianghuai army, Hebei dispatched more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and wiped out his 300,000 army at once, and captured his six counties.

If you only rely on the soldiers and horses of Wei to fight against the combined forces of Chen and Zheng, this is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg. But if Chen and Yan were pulled, the situation would be very different. In particular, Wei Dao'er of the Yan Kingdom is now also facing the catastrophe of Hebei. If he hadn't ambushed Chen Kefu this time, maybe Chen Kefu would have already fought with Wei Dao'er. Although Wei Dao'er only has a few counties, they have 400,000 horses, and they are still in Hebei.

"Okay, that's right." Li Mi's expression was overjoyed, and the previous haze disappeared all at once. "Didn't Chen Kefu want to swallow Henan in one bite? How could there be no other guests at this feast? Xuanzao, immediately write a letter of state, and quickly send it to Yan and Chen, telling them that we have introduced Chen Kefu to the Central Plains, and now is the time for them to send troops. As long as the three of us defeat Chen Kefu, then Gu is willing to pay all the Hebei to the Yan State and the Huaibei counties to the Chen State. ”

Fang Xuanzao said excitedly, "King Wei is smart, with such a thick condition for sending troops, no one in Xinyan and Chen can refuse." There are 400,000 soldiers and horses in Yan State, and hundreds of thousands of troops in Chen State, if they gather, then the soldiers and horses of our Three Kingdoms will exceed one million. With only 100,000 soldiers and horses, what is there to fear. This time, we must defeat the Hebei Army in a battle and capture Chen Kefu alive. ”

On the other side, Hao Xiaode said, "King Wei, isn't it too much to give Hebei to Yan State." Today, everyone knows that Hebei Liaodong is the richest. ”

"It should be, it should be." Li Mi had a fox-like smile on his face—
