Chapter 92: Proposal to Attack Yizhou
Meng Jiucheng sighed secretly, and now he was right. He was more confident in siege and defending the city, but he was not only in field battles with regular troops, especially cavalrymen, but he not only lacked confidence, but instead had an inherent fear and tried his best to avoid it.
Although it is a matter of time, try to delay the time!
Meng Jiucheng had his legs clamped his horse's belly, and he didn't need to shout. The stubborn girl had already accelerated and ran happily.
…………
Qingyun Town belongs to Linshu County and is more than 50 miles away from Linyi (the capital of Yizhou Prefecture). Historically, it was famous for its fertile land and abundant production of Qiliu. However, under the influence of the war, the scene was much worse than before.
A large mansion in the town was already on high alert, and soldiers were armed with guns and knives, and were patrolling back and forth with serious expressions.
As the first consultation, it represents the momentum of both companies. Both sides selected a hundred elite guards, and they did not want to lose their momentum.
The atmosphere in the hall in the house seemed harmonious and easy-going. No matter what kind of thinking, some superficial skills still need to be done.
However, Shi Si didn't come at all, and the excuse was that the military affairs were busy. But Meng Jiucheng knew that the guy didn't look down on him. If he didn't come, he wouldn't come. Anyway, he had no good impression of this guy who was rebellious. It would be worth seeing Peng Yibin.
Peng Yibin is in his thirties, with a tall figure and a particularly loud voice. His whole body is not as strong as thick, dark skin, thick eyebrows and hair, shiny black eyes, and when he laughs loudly, his mouth is very big, revealing twenty or more white teeth.
Whenever Meng Jiucheng saw this white teeth, he was very envious and wanted to find out what brand of toothpaste he used.
"What a good thing!" Peng Yibin just put down his telescope, and this was the first-class person. He turned to look at Meng Jiucheng, and his white teeth were hated again, "General Meng is very proud of his gift, thank you for your family."
Meng Jiucheng gave the gift he originally wanted to give Shi Si to the staff officer Cheng Fu, who would not let you come. And what he gave Liu Erzu was naturally a good product, and it was sealed in a box.
He bowed, expressed his humility and thanked him, and said, "Although the Red Coat Army has its own subordinates, they raise the flag and fight against the Jin people. They are like-minded. The so-called unity is strong, and the division is weak. They have long been in the lower house to contact each other and fight together. But the soldiers are small and few, and they are afraid that they will be looked down upon and disdain to cooperate. Now, they finally have a look. Of course, they are far inferior to General Liu and General Peng."
Peng Yibin seemed to agree, nodded vigorously, with a slight smile on his face.
Cheng Fu also smiled. Meng Jiucheng's words were quite realistic. He felt that they were quite reasonable, so he spoke, "General Meng's words are reasonable, but they also have some misunderstandings about us. We General Liu admired them no matter how many people they are in charge of fighting against the Jin Dynasty."
"Yes, General Liu has different numbers of soldiers and horses, but he also looks at it the same." Peng Yibin echoed, "This, General Meng should be a subordinate of the Nine Kings, right?"
Meng Jiucheng's face was neither red nor white, nodded, and said, "The commander of this county has led his army to reinforce Laizhou, and he is left behind."
Cheng Fu and Peng Yibin may know that Meng Jiucheng was so rising, but it was not their business, so they naturally would not go into it. So they skipped this topic and asked directly about joint operations.
Meng Jiucheng pondered and said, "The Jin army in Yizhou is on my back, so that our army cannot move north easily to reinforce the nine kings. I hope to unite with your army and destroy its city and destroy its army."
Peng Yibin and Cheng Fu looked at each other, but neither spoke immediately. For them, the Jin army in Yizhou was also a thorn in their eyes, but the city was strong. They tried to attack but returned in vain.
You know, it was not easy for the regular army to attack the city at that time, let alone the simple-equipped rebels.
"There are less than 3,000 defenders in Yizhou, but the city is strong and tall, and it is difficult to capture." Cheng Fu, as a staff officer, was sent by Liu Erzu. If he didn't express his opinion first, Peng Yibin would not be able to speak.
Peng Yibin agreed and said, "Before, I joined forces with General Shi and I joined nearly 20,000 troops to attack Yizhou, but I did not succeed. Instead, there were many casualties."
"What if there is a way to break the city?" Meng Jiucheng raised his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "Our army can dispatch 5,000 people. If your army dispatches 7,000 or 8, it can trap the enemy in the city and destroy the city completely. After the battle is completed, the city will naturally belong to your army. The seized military supplies are divided into three equal parts. Our army only needs Linshu County. How about it?"
The spoils were divided into three parts. Meng Jiucheng and Peng Yibin, who participated in the war, each received one part, and the other part was from Liu Erzu's headquarters. This is reasonable and also makes Meng Jiucheng very good at doing things.
Peng Yibin was quite moved. He looked at Cheng Fu, then turned to Meng Jiucheng and asked, "General Meng is so sure?"
"It is not easy to attack the strong city. General Meng should not underestimate the enemy!" Cheng Fu didn't believe it and reminded him tactfully.
"It's not that you underestimate the enemy, you are sure." Meng Jiucheng said confidently: "I know you still have doubts. It's better to do this. If you attack the city, you will leave it to our army. After breaking the city, your army will follow in and then enter."
Peng Yibin lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, and said, "Since General Meng said that, wouldn't it be ridiculous for our army to not move again?" As he said that, he turned his eyes to Cheng Fu and asked, "What does Mr. Cheng think of our army's eight thousand people?"
Cheng Fu smiled bitterly, knowing that there was no reason to refuse. It was one aspect that people were short, and Meng Jiucheng took the initiative to take over the burden, which made him and Peng Yibin unable to refuse. Meng Jiucheng could make it clear that if you take action after breaking the city, you will not lose much even if you can't break the city.
"Okay!" Cheng Fu also expressed his attitude and said, "I understand General Meng's meaning, that is, to send out a large army to force the enemy Yingcheng to defend itself and dare not go out of the city to fight. The two coalition forces have more than 13,000, and they will definitely achieve their goal."
Seeing that the joint operation was basically finalized, Meng Jiu quickly said, "Our army gathered south and also needed to prepare siege equipment. It would take seven or eight days. I hope the enemy would be lenient, so the two armies would encircle Yizhou?"
Facing Meng Jiucheng's inquiring gaze, Peng Yibin and Cheng Fu exchanged gazes and nodded at the same time.
…………………
Peng Yibin, Shi Si, Xia Quan, Shi Qing, Pei Yuan and other armed forces were all generals under Liu Erzu, but they still maintained a certain degree of independence. This is to surrender, or surrender. To put it bluntly, it is like a major alliance, and Liu Erzu is the leader of this major alliance.
