"And no matter whether Chen Hansan really surrendered or surrendered, if this fake drama really continues, what kind of situation will evolve around Xuzhou?" Lin Jian stood up, took the teacup in front of Liu Miaozhen, and asked Gao Zongting to bring the teacup, pointed to the three cups on the table, and said to everyone, "The biggest possibility, there will be three armies around Xuzhou: one is Chen Hansan's 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the other is Yan Yu's soldiers and horses who were invited south by Chen Hansan to take Xuzhou, and the other is to assume that we are invited by Chen Hansan to go north to Xuzhou to encircle and annihilate Yan Yu's soldiers and horses - we don't trust Chen Hansan, can Yan Lu trust Chen Hansan unreservedly?" ”

"Chen Hansan has two faces and three swords, unless he completely hands over the military power, otherwise whoever wants to trust him without reservation will wait to stab him in the back." Li Liang said, among the generals of Huaiyang, who is not eager to catch Chen Hansan and skin and eat meat.

Lin Jian smiled and said: "That's true, Xuzhou is the key pass of Huaisi, when the river Huaizhi is rushing, how can Yan Yu not have a thorough study of Chen Hansan?" But the more thoroughly you study him, the more you can understand his mind to sell at a price, and it is impossible to trust him without reservation. However, Xuzhou City is particularly important, as long as Yanyu obtains Xuzhou, he can almost share the terrain of Hehuai with us, and he will have a slight advantage. If Xuzhou cannot be taken, Yan Yu can only deploy the center of gravity of soldiers and horses on the front line of Jinan. After this, there is a gap of six or seven hundred miles. Even if he was worried that Chen Hansan would have a recurring, and there was a good opportunity to obtain Xuzhou without spending a single soldier, how could Yan Yu take a risk. However, before the situation in Hehuai was completely clear, especially before Dongping and Jining were underway, and the grain route from Jinan to Xuzhou was not opened, Yanlu could only send a partial division with limited strength to take Xuzhou first - the strength of this partial division was sufficient, and it was only 20,000 cavalry, and the new annexed army should be the main force. ”

"If there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses sent by Yan Yu, there will be 40,000 people with Chen Hansan combined, and they will beat their mothers!" Sun Zhuang clenched his fists, slammed the table, and said excitedly.

"Don't be too excited," Lin Jian motioned to Sun Zhuang to calm down, "Time is pressing, there is no time to conspire with Voryang in this matter, and we don't have many troops that can be drawn from Huaiyang and other cities." In addition, the troops we gathered to go to Xuzhou were too large, and Yan Yu was shocked to retreat north, and Chen Hansan would definitely defend the city, and in the end he would only run empty. If we want the water to muddy and then fish in the mud, the troops we can gather and wait for the opportunity to move in Suining can only be 20,000 at most. The situation is really as expected, it has developed to this point, near Xuzhou City, Chen Hansan has 20,000 soldiers and horses, Yanlu has 20,000 soldiers and horses going south, we have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the other troops are all two or three hundred miles away, and they must not enter the battlefield for more than two days, how can we seize the opportunity? ”

"If you want to take Xuzhou once and for all, you have to lure Chen Hansan, a poisonous snake, out of the hole," Liu Miaozhen never spoke, and said loudly at this time, "20,000 troops are enough." When the Yanyu soldiers and horses approached Xuzhou in the south, I led 20,000 Huaiyang elites to decisively plug in. Yan Yu was suspicious of Chen Hansan's general, and he categorically did not dare to risk fighting with our department first. As long as our department enters resolutely, it will definitely shrink back, and Chen Hansan can only go out of the city to attack us first-"

"It's easy to lure the snake out of the hole," Lin Jian said, "but after Chen Hansan led his troops out of the city to engage in the battle, Yan Yu's southward soldiers and horses will inevitably dispel their doubts, and then attack our army from the flank—20,000 Huaiyang elites, can they block Chen Hansan and Yan Yu's southward attack on the soldiers and horses?" ”

"If you can't stop it, you have to block it!" Liu Miaozhen said softly, "Outside of this, it is difficult to have a chance to hunt and kill Chen Hansan." Her voice was slight, and her face was obscured by a bronze mask, but her fists were clenched and rested on the table to show her determination.

"Please go to war!" Ma Lan pushed the case to the front of the hall and knelt down, fearlessly threatening to send troops and horses to Chen Hansan and Yan Hu to the south, and resolutely asked to fight, Li Liang and other Huaiyang generals also ran down to the front of the hall to ask for battle.

"My lord......" Sun Zhuang choked up and asked to fight.

"Please go to war, my lord...... "Liu Miaozhen took off the bronze mask on her face, revealing her delicate face, moved to the front of the desk, buried her forehead in front of her knees and asked to fight.

"I will hand over the Huaidong cavalry camp to you, gather 20,000 steps to ride the elite, and let you lead it to Xuzhou, how sure is it to kill Chen Hansan?" Lin Jian asked.

"Miaozhen didn't dare to say anything, Chen Hansan and the southbound soldiers were difficult to cooperate with the tacit understanding, and there was a fifty percent certainty of victory." Liu Miaozhen looked up at Lin Bin.

The Huaidong cavalry battalion is the elite combat force of Lin Tie who is good at riding skills from various departments in recent years, and the whole army has six battalions of nearly 4,000 people, with Zhou Pu as the main general, Sun Zhuang as the deputy general, plus nearly 2,000 cavalry in Huaiyang Town, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses who were pulled to the city of Xuzhou for the battle, there are 6,000 elite cavalry; And Huaiyang Town has been recuperating in the past two years, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to be worse than Chen Hansan's 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers - in the face of Chen Hansan and the southbound captive soldiers of up to 40,000 troops, Liu Miaozhen said that there is a fifty percent chance of victory, which is not a lie.

Lin Lian's fingers tapped on the table, pondering.

Although the subordinates were eager to fight, Ye Junan said worriedly: "Even if you win, it can only be a narrow victory and a miserable victory, and if you lose too many troops under the city of Xuzhou, even if you successfully take Xuzhou, it may not be beneficial to the future situation......

At present, the Huaisi defense line is based on the Huaiyang Town Army, and Huaiyang Town accounts for three-fifths of the 50,000 elites.

If the main force of the Huaiyang Town Army is crippled outside Xuzhou, even if Xuzhou is captured, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Yanhu will press south after conquering Dongping, and Huaidong will not have enough elite troops to defend in Huaisi, and it will be difficult to hold the Xusi area. In the end, it will only lead to the loss of Xuzhou, and it will not be able to defend Huaiyang, Suining and other cities.

"It would be nice if Chen Hansan could be separated from the southbound captives during the battle." Gao Zongting said.

"The river north of Huaiyang is almost frozen, although there are many mountains and hills around Xuzhou, but they are not precipitous, and they cannot play a role in hindering the passage of soldiers and horses. Ye Junan traveled the world in his early years and was very familiar with the geographical situation of the world.

If Chen Hansan can be separated from the soldiers and horses of Yanlu going south, Liu Miaozhen will lead his troops to enter, and there will be a chance to divide and attack, and the odds of victory will naturally increase greatly. However, in terms of the overall strength of the army, they are at a disadvantage, and if they want to divide the enemy's army, they can only use the terrain such as rivers and mountains to block the attack. Although Xuzhou City is located between Bianshui and Surabaya, but in the cold winter, both Bianshui and Sishui have frozen, and it is convenient to enter and exit by foot, and there is no risk of barrier.

"In the early years in Cangnan, didn't the adults lure the enemy cavalry into the glacier?" Zhou Pu interjected.

Lin Jian shook his head and said: "That's because the enemy cavalry is surrounded first, so that we can calmly send people to dig through the river ice on the periphery, and then lure the enemy in—our troops entering Xuzhou are much less than the enemy's, and we can't restrict the entry and exit of enemy scouts, how can we quietly send people to dig out a long ice-breaking river channel in Bianshui or Surabaya to lure the enemy to fall in?" Speaking of this, Lin Jian suddenly remembered something and said, "You don't have to send someone to dig this river ice to break it......

"What else do you think?" Gao Zongting didn't have a plan, and when he saw Lin Bin's inspiration, he asked happily.

If Chen Hansan can be separated from the southbound captives when he can be separated from the southbound captives and attacked him, then there is a lot to be done......

"Whether this can be done or not, we still have to do some experiments," Lin Jian was still completely unsure at this time, and said, "But in any case, if this plan is to be successful, we can only stop the captives going south to the west of Bianshui, and we must first ensure that the captives approach Xuzhou from the west......"

"This is easy," Gao Zongting said, "Chen Hansan wants to play with us, we can make a bid now, and ask him to give up the next Pi ......"

*************

Xiapi (now Pizhou), located in the north of Suyu, east of Xuzhou, west of Yizhou, belongs to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou city is more than 100 miles away, since ancient times, it is the place where soldiers must fight, in the topography, it is more important than Suyu and Suining.

Xiapi is located between Si and Yishui, the north of the hills and ridges, as long as Huaidong stationed in Xiapi an elite and stick to it, it can basically ensure that Yizhou, Yinan, Tancheng, Haizhou, Guanyun and other places in the east do not give a large influx of enemy troops.

"Get out of the way!" Chen Hansan frowned, very dissatisfied with Ma Zhen's request to bring back Lin Bin.

Suining and Suyu originally belonged to Xuzhou, but after the Huaisi War, they gave Lin Jian an eye, so that Sun Zhuang's troops occupied it and did not leave, and the eight cities under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou were finally in his hands, and they were limited to three or four cities such as Tongshan, Xiapi, and Xiaoxian.

"If the East China Sea Lonely Fake is allowed, but it is intended to be Xiapi, grandma's, and not to lose Mrs. and soldiers?" Chen Hansan's big eyes stared at Ma Zhen and asked.

"If the handsome man doesn't let Xiapi out, how can he win the trust of the East China Sea Fox?" Ma Zhen said, "Even if you can't lure out the main force of the Huaiyang Town Army and annihilate it, letting Xiapi out today will only make the Huaidong Army's forces more dispersed." When tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty go south, with Xuzhou as the foundation, is there a Xiapi, and how big is the difference? Moreover, the handsome man let Xiapi out, just having an excuse to gather the troops scattered in Xiapi, Tongshan, and Xiaoxian to Xucheng - the East China Sea Fox agreed to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses from Huaiyang to Xuzhou, and the strength of its troops should not be underestimated. The battle under the city of Xuzhou is related to the future of the handsome man, and it cannot be taken lightly. ”

"I know this," Chen Hansan said, "to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." The 20,000 sons in Xuzhou City, who have been raising fat for nearly two years, can't win Huaiyang Town with the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty, what is the use? ”

"This time, the East China Sea Fox asked Zhang Yubo to bring three hundred elites into the city, and the handsome man should also be careful." Ma Zhen said.

"I know ...... this," Chen Hansan said, if Lin Jian agreed to the plan to surrender without warning, Chen Hansan would hesitate. At this time, Lin Jian not only had to send troops to Xiapi first, but also asked Zhang Yubo to bring 300 elites into Xuzhou in case of trouble, which made Chen Hansan believe that Lin Jian would take a risk. After all, the annihilation of an elite army of the Northern Dynasties by deception played a great role in improving the situation in Hehuai, and few people could resist such a temptation.
