Chapter 747 A big gamble!

Song Naifeng made up his mind to divide the situation under his rule first. Now his troubles come from the north, on the one hand, and Song Wensong's cavalry frequently harassed, causing the north to frequently encounter danger, and directly threatened the north and south portal Bingzhou.

Although judging from the information reported by the scouts, Song Wensong's strength is not enough to threaten Bingzhou, Song Naifeng is not at ease with Bingzhou. Once Bingzhou is lost, Song Naifeng will be seriously threatened within the pass.

Under such circumstances, Song Naifeng could only temporarily postpone the attack on Yuzhou, but instead asked Chuan Shanyue to lead the cavalry to advance north quickly, hoping to fight against Song Wensong on the Bingzhou and Miaocheng front line, and even take down Song Wensong, thus completely shattering Lu Zheng's plan.

It has to be said that Song Naifeng's strategy is correct, and his strategy is also in line with Lu Zheng's expectations. Song Naifeng temporarily suspended the attack on Yuzhou, giving Lu Zheng a chance to breathe. Another important point is that Lu Zheng stayed in the Two Rivers for one more day, and the new policy he promoted in the Two Rivers would benefit one more day.

When his troops are endless, and when he no longer worry about food and grass, he can train more soldiers. At least in the Mesopotamian area, he is sure to train tens of thousands of elite soldiers. At critical moments, these elite soldiers will be important weights to decide the outcome.

For Song Naifeng, as a native of the Northwest, it was not easy for him to clear the government orders. The so-called Daqian Dynasty was incorrect and the words were not smooth. The Emperor of the Qian Dynasty, Long Zhaoyan, was originally the deposed prince of Dakang. In the hearts of the people and the hearts of the remaining old and young people, Song Naifeng was a thief. At all levels of society, he had a very negative attitude towards the Northwest Army occupying the capital.

Song Naifeng was smart. After occupying the capital, he decided to give up the northwest and transfer almost all the cavalry in the northwest to the pass. His plan was to fight Lu Zheng here and drive Lu Zheng out of the north. In addition, he had strong support to the Liaodong Army, Huainan Road and Lingnan Road also echoed him, and they jointly opposed the Dakang Dynasty.

It has to be said that Song Naifeng's plan is feasible and very lethal, but from the perspective of time, time is not actually on his side.

Lu Zheng's implementation of a very enlightened decree has caused great turmoil in the Two Rivers. The Cao family and Zhao family in the Two Rivers were almost eradicated by him. At the same time, the second and third-tier families before the Two Rivers began to rise. Lu Zheng's strategy has been supported and responded to by many people, and everything in the Two Rivers region is developing in a good direction.

Lu Zheng's advantage is something that Song Naifeng can't learn anyway. The key to the problem now is whether Lu Zheng, who is on the weak side, can withstand Song Naifeng's crazy suppression of getting up early? Lu Zheng found Song Wensong at a critical moment. How long can Song Wensong withstand it?

The army of Sichuan and mountains went north, and the city walls of Bingzhou were as strong as iron. Song Wensong's cavalry was gradually compressed. If he fled northeast, there would be the territory of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. Song Wensong could be said to be a fuss in his opponent's stomach. Needless to say, the danger could be foreseeable.

"The old man still hates me to the core! If you ask Chuan Shanyue to deal with me, you would rather give up attacking Yuzhou than kill me at any cost. Such hatred really makes me feel extremely disappointed!" Song Wensong had a blue face, holding the scout's probe in his hand, and his tone was extremely angry.

He looked around and his voice suddenly rose, saying, "What should we do now? Chuanshanyue is not the defenders of Miaocheng. This person's combat power is not inferior to me, and they have three times our iron cavalry. If we bump into it, we will almost beg for death!

We only have this kind of people, and we lose one person less. Even if we are crippled, it will be difficult for us to survive in the current situation!"

The strategists and the generals were speechless, but Qi Yuanzhi smiled faintly and said, "General, don't panic. For the sake of this plan, we can only ask for help from Yuzhou. Don't worry, our Nanfu Army is one mind. Lord Lu handed over the Nanfu Army to you, and he will not ignore you, let alone ignore the soldiers of the Nanfu Army!"

Qi Yuanzhi's light words stabilized the general's morale and also put a trap on Lu Zheng. If Lu Zheng did not save Song Wensong, would these 20,000 troops still be devoted to Lu Zheng? In this way, Song Wensong can quickly establish authority.

Qi Yuanzhi paused and said, "We are in the north, and Bingzhou is a place that must be fought for by military strategists. If Bingzhou is lost, the 30,000 people from Sichuan and mountains will not be able to cover us, and the tactics of the Northwest Army are completely ineffective!"

"How can Bingzhou be taken down? Bingzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even without Sichuan and mountains, our strength cannot be taken down by Bingzhou!" A general immediately shouted loudly, obviously what they said was the truth.

Qi Yuanzhi laughed and said, "Yes, so what are you anxious about? Since Lu Zheng has set up a plan, he must have targeted Bingzhou! If we cannot threaten Bingzhou, what is the point of rushing thousands of miles from Yuzhou to the north?

So everyone, I judged that Lu Zheng had divided his troops into two groups. Our route was led by the general in the open, and there was also a lazier on this line. In the dark, Sichuan and Shanyue have sent troops. If we do not take the initiative to inquire Lu Zheng, he will definitely remain unmoved.

So, now we must quickly give Lu Zheng an emergency, and then Lu Zheng will definitely let us occupy Miaocheng, rely on the Miaocheng line to deal with Sichuan and mountains, and block the road to the north of Sichuan and mountains. If that happens, there will definitely be war in Bingzhou!"

Qi Yuanzhi talked freely. When he said this, everyone opened their mouths wide, and even Song Wensong was extremely impressed. Many of the truths were not worth mentioning after it was explained, but it was difficult to say it clearly before it was clear.

Obviously, Lu Zheng is not a good-for-nothing person. He gave Song Wensong 20,000 people, and did not ask Song Wensong to kill all the 20,000 people soon and become cannon fodder completely. He must have a deeper strategy.

The capital city is confronting Yuzhou and the two rivers, but now Song Naifeng chooses to be in the north. Can Lu Zheng really make Song Wensong be attacked and fall into a desperate situation? If Song Wensong is destroyed like this, it will definitely be a huge disaster for Lu Zheng.

Song Wensong said: "Come here, I'll send Lu Zheng eight hundred miles to hurry up. I'll write it myself!"

...

The weather in Yuzhou is very dry. Lu Zheng's wives are all in the General's Mansion. Lu Zheng's family is reunited these days, with a happy and harmonious atmosphere.

The north is not peaceful, and Yuzhou and the capital are only a few hundred miles apart. More than 100,000 troops from both sides are facing each other. The rangers of the Northwest Army frequently appear near Yuzhou. The most recent time, theirs have reached a mile outside the city gate.

The cavalry rangers came and went like the wind and liked to loot very much. Therefore, many people near Yuzhou suffered a lot. Judging from the information conveyed by all aspects, it seems that a great war is inevitable.

However, in Yuzhou City, there was no atmosphere of war. The winery and teahouses were still prosperous, and the streets were still crowded. The key was that the General Mansion of Yuzhou was still as stable as a rock. The stability and peace of Yuzhou City made people feel confident, because everyone believed that the chief general Lu Zheng would never give up Yuzhou because he brought his family and even his father-in-law over. Moreover, Lu Zheng's skills were also widely circulated in Yuzhou. The most circulated one was that he used a small county town to block 30,000 cavalry of the enemy country with thousands of infantrymen. Such a spread was undoubtedly very encouraging.

Because the gap between Yuzhou and the capital is not large in terms of the number of people alone, the army in Yuzhou is also expanding rapidly. With the implementation of the new policy, there are many people around Yuzhou and Bianzhou who are following the army!

In Lu Zheng's convention hall, all the strategists gathered, and the generals looked very solemn. Lu Zheng smiled and said, "What are you doing so heavy? At least we can relax in the mountains and mountains northwards!"

"Song Wensong's eight hundred miles is here! We can't stand by death and refuse to save us. If Song Wensong is finished, it will probably be difficult for us in Yuzhou to defend!" Zhang Pinghua said.

He paused and said, "General, you said that for us now, we need to fight a protracted war. The longer the time, the better, and the longer the war, the better, so..."

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Have Song Wensong's emergency letter arrived? Did he write it by himself?"

"It has arrived long ago! Song Wensong is in a hurry. Either he retreats the same way, it is basically impossible, because Chuanshanyue will not give him a chance. But he fled north with Bingzhou to block it, and it is also very dangerous to walk northeast into Liaodong. Tan Lei has no friendship with him!"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "So Bingzhou is a knot. Now I will pass on the order to let Song Wensong defend Miaocheng and block Chuanshanyue in Miaocheng. He told him that it will take time for us to send troops to rescue him. He must guard for more than seven days. If he can't defend for seven days, the situation will be unable to be controlled!"

"General, do we...we really want to send troops? This is not possible, absolutely not! Once we send troops, what should we do in Yuzhou? Song Naifeng is setting up a trap. If we send troops north, Yuzhou will inevitably be in crisis!" Zhang Pinghua's face changed drastically and he said loudly.

Not only Zhang Pinghua, but also Chen Lizhong and others immediately agreed. Obviously, they all opposed Lu Zheng's plan. Yuzhou was at a disadvantage in the confrontation between Yuzhou and the capital. If Lu Zheng sent all the cavalry to the north, how could Yuzhou be defended?

There were 30,000 cavalrymen in Chuanshanyue, and 30,000 cavalrymen in Yuzhou, but the Northwest Army had more than 100,000 cavalrymen, while there were only 30,000 cavalrymen in Yuzhou!

How Lu Zheng did this undoubtedly cut off Yuzhou's arm, making it very difficult for Yuzhou to escape once it was defeated. This situation is really terrible.

Lu Zheng sighed and said, "It's over, I can't stand it and die. In fact, for us, if it's not helpless, why would we come up with such a plan? Song Wensong is here and we use it, but if Song Wensong just sent troops and was done, wouldn't our plan also fail?

Song Wensong has 10,000 cavalry under his command. These cavalry are our treasures. They are ruined in the north like this. How could our Yuzhou army have the chance to win this battle?"

Lu Zheng said in a solemn tone, he said these words with a firm decisive and without any hesitation. Everyone looked at each other, and they all said no. A kind of strategist, look at me, and I look at you, but I don’t know what to say.

Everyone who follows Lu Zheng knows that Lu Zheng is extremely strong and no one can persuade him to shake things he decides, but this matter is obviously too dangerous. Lu Zheng is not taking risks? It is clearly a plea to die!

Lu Zheng's opponent, Yuzhou's opponent is no one else, but the opponent is the most powerful general in the world. Faced with such a powerful person as Song Naifeng, the consequences of Lu Zheng's actions are too serious.

Without cavalry in Yuzhou, what should I do if Yuzhou City cannot be defended? Once Yuzhou is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable...

After the silence, everyone turned their attention to Dai Gao. Everyone present was not worth enough. At the critical moment, everyone hoped that Dai Gao could finally advise Lu Zheng and let Lu Zheng not act irritably...

Dai Gao closed his eyes and rested. In fact, he seemed to never wake up. He just sat upright, slightly closed his eyes, and his whole body was like an old monk entering a state of meditation. At this point, today's discussion ended.

Everyone left, everyone went to work separately. As the chief executive, Lu Zheng had absolute authority in the Nanfu Army, so his decision could not be questioned. Although the situation was dangerous, what else could everyone do besides making arrangements immediately?

The city walls of Yuzhou can be higher, and they can get to know each other. The defenses outside the city, the Julu horses, and the moat can be more powerful. The people in Yuzhou can launch more thoroughly, and the materials to defend the city can be stored more. In short, since you have to defend Yuzhou City, you must consider all kinds of extreme situations, be prepared and do your best!

The Nanfu Army that Lu Zheng now has this ability, and the generals and the strategists have their own division of labor. Once Lu Zheng makes a decision, everyone will unite as one. This is Lu Zheng’s biggest advantage at the moment.

Everyone left, Dai Gao opened his eyes and said, "Have you really thought about it? Song Naifeng's cavalry may be more difficult to deal with than you think. I have seen this man's bravery with his own eyes back. He can pile all his soldiers under the city wall with his life. He can let the cavalry behind step on the corpse in front and then break the city. In that way, when the city of Yuzhou is finished, everything may be over!"

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "My father-in-law is right. I believe Song Naifeng has such ability. Moreover, he used the Sichuan and mountains to go north to lure me to send troops. As long as I send troops, he will quickly press over and then use all his strength to break Yuzhou! This is his plan!"

Lu Zheng paused and said, "So, I want to send troops, and the whole city will mobilize and prepare for the war with all my heart. At this time, it depends on who can stand it!

Yue Feng rest assured that you can do dangerous things, but you must not do them so that everyone can see clearly. People need to bet, but you need to bet on the right track of the outcome. You should understand this principle!"

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, if you are not absolutely necessary, don't bet. Even if you want to bet, you must let your opponent see clearly before the bet, otherwise you may lose a lot!"

Dai Gao smiled and said, "You have let Liu Song go north secretly, hiking in the day and walking at night. At this time, 20,000 cavalry have arrived in the wilderness north of Miaocheng, right?

At this time, Yuzhou was singing the empty city plan. Song Naifeng was waiting for you to send troops, but he might never wait for the news of your send troops. What he could have waited for was the news of the destruction of Bingzhou City!

Bingzhou City was broken, and while the news spread from Bingzhou to the capital, Liu Song's cavalry could almost reach the vicinity of Yuzhou. If Song Naifeng wants to take action again, he may not have an absolute chance of winning, right?"

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and said for a while: "Fortunately, my opponent is not your father-in-law. If it were you, I'm afraid... I'm going to be finished!"

Dai Gao smiled and said, "Your arrangement is very exquisite, and I just figured it out! Because there is a very confusing part of your arrangement, that is, the Battle of Bingzhou.

It is not easy for Liu Song to capture Bingzhou for 20,000 cavalry, because Bingzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. According to the conventional rules, it requires at least 40,000 troops. Therefore, according to the general thinking, if you send 20,000 cavalry to go there, it will be useless, and that is not a wise strategy!”

Dai Gao paused and said, "But everyone has ignored a possibility, that is, as long as Song Wensong tries hard to defend Miaocheng, Sichuan and mountains will not attack Miaocheng for a long time, and one side of the attack will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. In this case, the soldiers of Bingzhou can come out of the city, advance to Miaocheng, and attack Song Wensong from two aspects, and put pressure on Song Wensong.

As long as the Bingzhou troops come out, Liu Song's cavalry will attack quickly. In the wilderness, Liu Song can quickly swallow 10,000 troops from the Bingzhou army, and then seize Bingzhou City in one fell swoop. Bingzhou City was broken, and the gateway to the northwest was wide open. After Song Wensong occupied Bingzhou, he could quickly penetrate the power into the northwest. The northwest was abandoned by Song Naifeng, just in a vacuum stage. Song Wensong occupied the northwest. He had the ability to grow rapidly in the northwest. Song Naifeng lost the way to retreat, and from then on he became a rootless duckweed."

Dai Gao talked freely and told Lu Zheng's plan in its original form. Lu Zheng said: "Yes, as long as Song Naifeng becomes a rootless duckweed, he will stay in the capital and the pass for one more day, and his strength will be weakened for one day. The so-called Daqian Dynasty will soon show a collapse. At that time, hehe, who else in the north competes with us?"

"This is a protracted war. Any idea of ​​a quick battle is very dangerous. Time is beneficial to us. As time goes by, we can become stronger and stronger, and our opponents will be weakened more and more. I have thought about it. At worst, I will endure three years. After three years, I don't believe that Song Naifeng can still have the arrogance he is today!"

Dai Gao laughed and said, "If Song Naifeng and Tan Lei join forces again, the situation will be very dangerous. You must be careful of this. After you fight with Tan Lei, the Liaodong army will be temporarily recuperated, but with his character, it shouldn't take long to be ready. What should I do when the two rivers do?"

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "I have no solution to this problem now, so I can only pretend to turn a blind eye! Tan Lei is fine, the key is that Long Lingxiu hates me to the core, and I dare not have fantasies about this woman. Fortunately, they have no plans to go south yet, so I can still have a chance to breathe!"

Lu Zheng said this and looked at Dai Gao and said, "Father-in-law, the government affairs of the two rivers are the key. We have never had any government affairs before, but they are very popular with the people. I also studied under the Empress Dowager of Beiyan!

Why can the Empress Dowager Beiyan control the political situation? Because she is very smart, he uses small and medium power stakes to suppress the powerful stakes and mobilizes the power below to subvert the foundation of the entire Northern Yan power stake. Such a strategy is too powerful. The so-called dynasty of a hundred years, a thousand-year-old family, and a wealthy family have existed for too long, and the corruption and resentment they accumulate will be longer. If such corruption can be eliminated and resentment can be stimulated, this energy can change the world. In this regard, I ask Yue Feng to help me, otherwise the people under my command will not be able to do all the government affairs well with their ability and implement my will!"

Dai Gao said lightly: "I am an old man, I am dying. How many years can I do for you? Talents are now lacking, so the selection of talents in the two rivers is particularly critical. Dakang's imperial examination can rise in the two rivers. To promote the imperial examination and select talents, we can last forever!"

Lu Zheng nodded, impressed by Dai Gao's proposal. Indeed, what Lu Zheng ignored most before was talent. His consciousness was on the one hand, and his identity was on the other hand. He was a minister of Dakang, and he was a general who led troops. He did not have the name to do this.

Now, he owns the Mesopotamian region, which is nominally the territory of Dakang, but in fact it is his independent kingdom. In this area, he is able to promote the imperial examinations and select talents, thus laying the foundation for manpower for the greater cause of the generals.

Dai Gao also left. Lu Zheng thought about the current situation again, and he couldn't help but sigh. Many things in the past emerged in his mind one by one. He still remembered when he first arrived in Yangzhou, when he couldn't even save his life in the Zhang family. Did he ever think about today?

Today, now, Lu Zheng feels that he is increasingly embarking on a road of no return. This road has no end from the beginning and no retreat, because this is not his own path. Behind him is a family and countless followers. All these pressures are on him. Can he retreat?

Suddenly, Lu Zheng thought about Jiangnan a little. He didn't know what Jiangnan would look like in this matter. Is it just like him and it was difficult everywhere?

If the two rivers are lost, everything will be done, because the rebels will quickly gather into a vast ocean, and the south of the Yangtze River will be lost. The key is that if the two rivers are lost, Lu Zheng may not be able to escape. He died in the two rivers. How much power does the Lu family have to protect the world for Dakang?

Dai Xiaojing and Ying'er came over, and the two women hugged Lu Zheng's arms on the left and right. Lu Zheng looked at their faces and felt extremely warm in his heart. He thought to himself:
Chapter completed!
