"What does Lee Maoxun's letter say?" Li Zhen couldn't help but feel curious when he saw that Li Jing chuckled after reading the letter he had just sent. Could it be that Li Maoxun has softened? But even so, it's not worth laughing at.

"Look at it for yourself, this Li Maoxun is really interesting." Li Jing chuckled and handed the letter to Li Zhen, the corners of his mouth still smiling, but that smile had been transformed into a sneer at this time. "This Li Maoxun actually cried to me in the letter, saying that the rats in the Youzhou warehouse were starving to death. What else did we say last time we robbed tens of millions of dollars from Youzhou, and also plundered 100,000 Youzhou youths, so that he was very attacked by the soldiers and people in Youzhou. He also said that he didn't want us to return the stolen ones, as if they were offsetting the million. ”

Li Zhen also finished reading the letter at this time, and couldn't help laughing, pointing to the letter and saying, "This Li Maoxun is indeed a little interesting, he still wants to marry his daughter to you, the county prince." You see what he wrote, and he praised his daughter for being twenty-eight years old and beautiful like a flower. He had a good idea, and he actually wanted to be Lord Taishan of the county lord. ”

"This man is cunning, so it's better to be careful. In the letter, he said that he was already mobilizing troops and horses, and said that he would raise 50,000 troops to help the county prince put down the Shatuo rebellion. This is a very naked threat. This is a picture of exhaustion, and the language is threatening. ”

Li Jing asked people to call Li Wei and asked, "What is the current movement of the soldiers and horses in Youzhou?" ”

"The generals Gao Shunli and Gao Zhongwu of Yanzhou are the former army commanders. Li Maoxun led the middle route army, his son Li Keju led the rear route army, the tooth general Li Quanzhong led the left route army, and the Jingsai army envoy Liu Yue was the commander of the right route army. Five soldiers and horses, 10,000 each. Now Gao Shunli's front army went along the Sanggan River to Changzhou. It is far away from our two cities, Gu'an and Anci. Li Maoxun has also led the Middle Route Army out of Youzhou City. Currently in the canton of Vaud. Li Keju's rear route army is still in Youzhou City. Li Quanzhong's Left Route Army was in Liangxiang, and Liu Yue's Right Route Army was in Lu County along Lushui, and the target was Yongnu in our northeast. "When Levi's Flying Eagle Battalion first arrived in Huichang, it had already been all scattered. The Youzhou soldiers moved and quieted, and the Flying Eagle Battalion knew everything clearly.

Li Zhen turned around and made a few gestures on the Youzhou sand table made of sand in the hall, and planted all the soldiers and horses of Youzhou with small flags.

"Changzhou, where the front route army is located, is less than a hundred miles away from us, and the army can reach it in two days."

"Divide your forces and strike together!" Li Jing smiled. What does Li Maoxun think, the Zhendong Army has 30,000 horses, and there is also a county town that is not too big. Lu Long's army of 50,000 horses is not much, but they still have to be divided into five roads, isn't this to give Li Jing a chance to break through?

"It's tempting to sin!" Li Jing sighed.

"According to my judgment, the main force of our attack this time should be Gao Shunli's front army and Li Maoxun's middle army. Gao Shunli of the former army is a general of Yanzhou and a descendant of Li Maoxun. Li Maoxun led the Uighur cavalry, and in addition to the original recruit, he recruited about 10,000 Uighur soldiers and horses during this time. Li Maoxun cried poor, I think he used all the money that should be given to us to recruit troops. In addition to these two roads. The 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Keju in the rear army, I estimate that most of them are civilian men and auxiliary soldiers. These people can't fight, so they are still in Youzhou City, and their role is to be responsible for the supply of grain and grass. ”

Saying that, Li Zhen pointed to the other two lines of soldiers and horses, "Although Li Quanzhong on the left is also a descendant of Li Maoxun, the soldiers he led are the soldiers of the original Zhang Gongsu, these are just newly reorganized soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness is low, and the loyalty is even more suspicious." In this operation, they did not undertake the main offensive mission, but established a defensive line to the southwest of us and did not allow us to advance westward. Similarly, Liu Yue on the right is the old army leader of Lu Long, and his soldiers and horses Li Maoxun are difficult to really command. If the battle is unfavorable, they will definitely evacuate immediately to protect themselves. Judging by the route of their attack, along the Lushui south, they should establish a defensive line to the northeast of us to prevent us from entering the north of Youzhou and Pingzhou. ”

"Overall, Lee Maoxun's intentions are actually obvious, they don't have the determination to really fight with us. The five-way attack formation is actually only one real intention. If you look at the map, it will drive us back to the sea and return to Dengzhou in southern Liaoning. ”

Li Jing nodded, Li Zhen's analysis was very reasonable. Li Maoxun just sat in the position of Lu Long's marshal, but he was actually still unstable. At such a time, he was naturally reluctant to fight with Li Jing. One is not good, even if Li Jing is repulsed, he will be caught by other generals who have been coveting his handsome position, and Huang Que will be behind.

"In my opinion, we can directly grab Li Maoxun and fight, if we can defeat Li Maoxun's descendants. Li Maoxun is equivalent to breaking an arm. At that time, he will either give in to us in order to maintain his strength so that he can deal with the other Youzhou soldiers and horses. Or, continue to fight us, but most likely, the other Youzhou soldiers will be happy to see us help them take out Li Maoxun. Wang Chong had been listening to Li Jing's analysis just now, and he also expressed his opinion at this time.

"This idea is very good, but the Gao Shunli brothers are from a family of military generals, so it is quite difficult to deal with."

Li Jing carefully studied the map for a while and chuckled: "It's not difficult for me to see." Here, Gu'an City. Last time we broke it once, and this time we can play again. ”

Everyone looked at the map, Gu'an is on a tributary of the Youzhou River, on the right is Anci City, and Longshan City, and further northeast is Changzhou City. And if you go up the river, one hundred and fifty miles to the northwest, it will be Youzhou City.

"Does the county prince mean to take Gu'an?" Guo Chengan frowned and said: "Now that the enemy soldiers are gathered, it is not appropriate for us to divide the troops." Moreover, Gu'an is in the middle of the Youzhou Front Army and the Left Route Army, and if you don't get it right, you will be surrounded by them. ”

Li Jing laughed, "This is actually the simplest but usually the most useful trick. At present, the front army is guarding Changzhou, and it is not coming immediately. They must have been waiting for the other three to be able to half-surround us, and then send us back to sea. Therefore, in order to break this posture of the other side, we must first mobilize the enemy and destroy the enemy in motion. ”

"We attack Gu'an, this is what we must save when we attack the enemy. If they don't save Gu'an, we can take Gu'an and kill directly along the river to Youzhou City, which is now empty. Therefore, as long as Li Maoxun and the generals of Youzhou are not stupid, they will definitely come to save Gu'an. And we can come to a siege point to help. ”

"Encircle the point and send reinforcements!" Li Zhen's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Li Jing's intentions. This move is powerful, first attack the enemy and save it, and mobilize the Youzhou front army stationed in Changzhou City. When they left the fortified city defense and went to the field, Li Zhen believed that with the field combat ability of the Zhendong Army, they still had a great chance of winning against the 10,000 Youzhou Army.

If the front army can be defeated, then Li Maoxun's middle route army will be directly exposed in front of Li Jing, and at that time, Li Maoxun can be beaten.

"Okay, this plan is well drawn."

"Okay, let's discuss it carefully, and draw out a plan for the battle of Gu'an, which will be rescued and encircled and reinforced."

That night, Li Jing left Wang Zhong in Huichang City, and handed him 8,000 unity soldiers and two infantry battalions. Li Jing took 18,000 soldiers and horses and drove straight to Gu'an in the night. Huichang City is only sixty miles away from Gu'an. The Zhendong Army marched at night, although the speed slowed down a lot, but because of the strong mobility of the Zhendong Army, carrying a large number of mules and donkeys, wearing armor, weapons and food, etc., the soldiers still advanced extremely fast.

By dawn the next day, Li Jing had already arrived at the periphery of Gu'an. Li Jing asked Wang Pu, Shi Shoucheng and Jiang Ju to take 10,000 Liaonan soldiers to bluff, play more flags, light more torches, pretend to be 20,000 people, and surround Gu'an City on all sides, pretending to attack the city.

And Li Jing took 8,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Zhendong Army to the Changdao ferry in the north of Gu'an City, ambushed in the reeds on the shore, and quietly waited for the reinforcement of Gao Shunli's former army in Changzhou City, dozens of miles away from the river.

There were not many soldiers and horses in Gu'an City at this time, and if Li Jing wanted to raid, he could take it directly. But this is Li Jing's bait, how can he break it. Wang Pu took 10,000 Duli Town and Liaonan soldiers to feint on all sides, and the momentum was fierce, but it was always so hot.

In the dawn of dawn, more than a dozen horsemen in Gu'an City had escaped from the city before the siege and galloped towards the north. Li Jing watched these people wade across the river on horseback, the water surface was not deep, and he frowned and pondered for a long time. Then call Lin Wu. "I have given you the task of taking the brothers to stop the river a few miles upstream, and to build a dam. When the cannons sound on my side, you immediately open the floodgates and release the water. ”

Lin Wu understood what Li Jing meant, and nodded excitedly and left.

Li Jing waited until about dusk, when a horse flew to report.

The knight rolled his saddle and fell off his horse, kicked and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Jing to report: "Report, report to the county prince, the soldiers and horses in Changzhou City have come to this side." In front there were three thousand cavalry in front, and seven thousand infantry in the rear. ”

"All 10,000 people are here? Is there no one left in Changzhou City? Li Jing asked.

"Changzhou City seems to be left behind, and the army in front of the enemy is pouring into the city."

"How far is it?"

"Half an hour to go!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, go down and rest, and go back to get the five rewards money."

"Xie Jungong!" The sentinel stepped back excitedly.

Li Jing looked at the burning clouds in the sky with the same excitement, and the enemy army actually came. Now, there's a big fish in the net.
