Liu Yin returned to his military camp a little depressed, and his proposed strategy of defensive counterattack was vetoed by Zhuge Zhan, which is not surprising to Liu Yin, although the relationship between Zhuge Zhan and himself has eased somewhat, but it has not reached the point of obeying his words, Zhuge Zhan also has his own strategy, as the commander of the three armies, he has the right to make decisions.

"What's the matter with the lord?" Deng Ai is often a comfortable and complacent look, which is no wonder, with the favorable conditions provided by Liu Yin for him, without heavy military affairs, Deng Ai is like an idle cloud and a wild crane at this time, leisurely and comfortable.

Liu Yin told Deng Ai what had happened, and finally asked: "In Mr.'s opinion, is it better to hold the counterattack strategy steadily or take the initiative to fight a decisive battle?" ”

Deng Ai stroked his beard and said, "Each has its own merits, and each is good at winning." ”

Liu Yin's eyes lit up and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Deng Ai said: "Among the Three Kingdoms, Wei is good at cavalry, Wu is good at sailing, and Shu is good at infantry, so Wei soldiers are good at fighting in the plains, Wu soldiers are good at water battles, and Shu soldiers are good at fighting mountains and rivers. But the battle of Wu and Shu is different, Wu soldiers are good at water battles, Shu soldiers are good at mountain battles, fighting in the plains, all of them are short and avoid strengths, and they do not have full advantages. Wu soldiers are far away, long-distance attack, the military strength is naturally exhausted, the Shu army can take advantage of its unstable foothold, and it is not bad to fight head-on. ”

Deng Ai has experienced a hundred battles in his life, not only fighting Jiang Wei in Longxi for a long time, but also fighting against the Wu people in Huainan. He knows the strength of the troops of Wei, Shu and Wu well.

"What does Mr. mean is that you can fight the Wu people in Qingyangpu?"

Deng Ai smiled indifferently and said: "The opportunity to win or lose on the battlefield." How could it be expected? The coaches of both sides had a flash of inspiration. Perhaps it can decide the success or failure of the entire campaign. The commander of your army, Zhuge Zhankong, bears the name of the Marquis of Wu, lacks the talent to change at the opportunity, if the commander of the Wu army will be a mediocre talent, if he meets a real wise and brave general, the battle of Qingyangpu is worrying. Oh, but I don't know who will lead the army of Wu this time? But Wu Army veteran Ding Feng? ”

"What if it's Ding Feng?"

"Ding Feng is brave and unparalleled, but he is short of strategy, and he fights with this person. Zhuge Zhan is worry-free. ”

"The general of the Wu army is not Ding Feng, but Lu Kang."

Deng Ai sighed slightly, quite surprised, compared to Ding Feng, Pan Zhang, Zhu Yi, the generals of Wu State, Lu Kang's name is indeed a little unfamiliar, in recent years, Deng Ai has been passing through Longxi, and he is not familiar with the generals of the new generation of Wu State, but he thought about it a little and still thought of some. "Lu Kang, it should be the son of Lu Xun, the general of Wu State, right? The Battle of Shouchun that year. I remember that this land resistance was quite brave, when the whole division of the Wu army was defeated. is still able to kill the Wei army's partial generals, and it is indeed a general. Sun Xiu was able to send this son to take on this important task this time, which shows his intention to reuse Lu Kang, but after many years, Lu Kang is in a situation now, he doesn't know anything, and it's not easy to comment. The two sides fought a head-on battle, testing their overall strength, and the number of troops, the level of morale, the strategy of the generals, and the configuration of the formation were all conditions for a decisive victory. As far as I know, the Wu people are good at water warfare and weaker than cavalry warfare, for many years, the Wu army has never formed a cavalry, this time into Sichuan, presumably it is also based on the water army infantry army, and the frontal plain confrontation, when the cavalry battle is the first, a strong cavalry can block tens of thousands of male soldiers. ”

Liu Yin smiled and said, "This time, I brought the Tiger Riding Camp here, wouldn't it just come in handy?" ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Deng Ai's eyes, and he smiled indifferently: "The Tiger Cavalry Battalion can also be regarded as cavalry?" In a certain opinion, they are nothing more than archers and pikemen sitting on horseback. "Deng Ai has seen the training of the tiger riding camp, compared to the Yongliang Jin Riding under his command, it is simply a hemp rope wearing tofu - it can't be lifted. Deng Ai often sighed secretly, if it weren't for the treacherous terrain of the Yinping Trail, he had to abandon riding as a step, and 30,000 Yongliang steps could have swept half of Yizhou, as for now he has gotten to this point? Time also! Luck also!

Liu Yin can't help but be embarrassed, the combat power of the tiger cavalry battalion is indeed not flattering, when the horse Chao entered Sichuan, he brought a Liangzhou strong horse, but the mountainous characteristics of Shu also determined that this strong horse is not much use, and with the aging of these cavalry and the lack of good horses, the cavalry of the Shu army has long ceased to be brave, and the current tiger cavalry battalion is just a cavalry honor guard when the emperor goes out on patrol.

What is cavalry, it is not infantry sitting on horseback, on the battlefield, cavalry can easily tear apart the enemy's defense line with a thunderous force, cavalry can maneuver to outflank and sweep the battlefield like a whirlwind, in short, cavalry is the king of the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, especially in the plains, it is completely unmatched.

Liu Yin also wants to build an invincible iron cavalry division, but he also knows that this is by no means something that can be achieved overnight, in addition to high-intensity and rigorous training, the experience of blood and fire on the battlefield is also an indispensable link, and it will take time for the tiger cavalry battalion to really have strong combat capabilities.

In this battle of Dongguang Han, since the commander Zhuge Zhan has decided to conduct a strategic decisive battle with the enemy, Liu Yin's Anxi army will naturally be put into the preparations for the decisive battle. According to Zhuge Zhan's deployment, the Chinese army led by him will serve as the main attacker, Liu Yin's Anxi army is the left wing, and Yan Yu's Yongan army is the right wing, and a line formation is discharged in Qingyangpu. Liu Yin's task was to provide flank protection for the Chinese army, and at the same time, after the battle began, cut into the enemy's right flank and outflank the enemy's main Chinese army. Yan Yujun had the same task as Liu Yin, and on the other side, he was responsible for the main force of the Chinese army.

At the same time, the Shu army sent a large number of scouts, expanding the reconnaissance range to a distance of fifty miles, closely monitoring the Wu army that might be attacking.

The three armies of the Shu army were the first to enter the decisive battle site, seize the favorable terrain, set up camp, and wait for work.

Qingyangpu is located on the south bank of the river, is the only way to enter Chengdu in the west, after the Wu army captured Deyang, the next goal is to take the county of Xu, open up a pass to Chengdu.

Perhaps Lu Kang never thought that the Shu army was already waiting for the Wu army to come in Qingyangpu. (To be continued......)
