Chapter 89 Battle of the Counties (3)(1/2)
The lights are brightly lit in the halls of Dongwu County.
Liu Chuang and others stood in front of the map and watched for a long time, all of whom were silent.
"What do you think, yes?"
When Liu Chuang saw that no one spoke, he asked in a deep voice.
"This must be the army of Xiao Jianzhi of Langya!" Bu Zhi said in a deep voice: "But, we have no grudges with Xiao Jiansu, why did he lead his troops to invade the territory?"
"It's just a matter of playing a merit with Cao Cao!"
Taishici sneered, "In addition, the young master rescued Kong Ming's family before, which angered this person.
Therefore, I want to send troops to attack while we have not yet established a firm foothold... Unexpectedly, this guy is so bold that he has come out in all four counties, and it seems that he wants to kill us all and then quickly."
"Kill all the things?"
Xu Chu said: "But you need to have this ability."
As he spoke, he stood up and asked for his order, "Young Master, please lead my troops to fight with me and decide to take the head of Xiao Jianxiang to offer it to your son."
"Zhongkang, how can you say this?" Taishi Ci stopped immediately after hearing this, and said loudly: "The last time you have led your troops to capture Dongwu, and this piece of me has been won. Now I will lead the headquarters to attack. If you don't take Xiao Jian's head, Taishi Ci will come to see the young master."
Xu Chu and Taishi Ci scrambled to fight, which made Liu Chuang feel much more relaxed.
"Kong Ming, what do you think?"
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang who was standing beside him.
In an instant, dozens of gazes fell on Zhuge Liang's body, which made Zhuge Liang feel uncomfortable all over.
Zhuge Liang was caught by Liu Chuang in the middle of the night, and he was a little dissatisfied.
But when he heard that Xiao Jian was coming, he became energetic. He kept standing by and listened to the report very carefully.
"Young Master. Liang thought that there is a difference between a big victory and a small victory in this battle. It depends on whether Young Master Liu wants a big victory or just a small victory?"
"What about big wins? So what about small wins?"
Liu Chuang enjoyed this feeling very much.
He began to understand a little. In the later film "The Legend of Di Renjie's Case Decision", why did Di Renjie always like to say: Yuan Fang, what do you think?
This feels really great, especially the person who replied is Zhuge Liang. It makes people feel even more satisfied.
"Small victory is very simple, just defeat Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian gathered troops from four counties this time, with a large number of troops reaching 10,000.
Among them, Dongguan County's troops went out of Yunting, without a doubt, to restrain them or prepare to defeat General Shi Huan's troops. The other three counties had a total of 8,000 troops and horses invaded Dongwu, indicating Xiao Jian's true intention. In Dongwu County, his goal should be wages.
If it is small, it is not difficult.
Just order General Shi Huan to return quickly, and then you can join forces to fight against the enemy.
Although Xiao Jian had eight thousand troops, if General Shi Huan could come back in time, there were five thousand people available to the young master. Although it was not as powerful as Xiao Jian, in Liang's opinion, it was easy to defeat Xiao Jian with the tiger and wolf men under the young master, and Liang did not need to give advice."
Taishi Ci, Xu Chu and Xu Sheng nodded in agreement.
Bu Zhi and Lu Dai had no objection... That's right, although Xiao Jian had the advantage in military strength, it was not enough to threaten Liu Chuang too much.
"If Xiao Jian wins a little, he will retreat when he sees the difficulties and dare not invade again.
But if he gained power, he would definitely come again... At that time, if the young master wants to defeat him, he will probably have to put in more effort."
Seeing Zhuge Liang talking, Liu Chuang did not show any expression.
After a while, he asked, "This is a small victory, what is a big victory?"
"The winner of the great victory will come from now on Xiao Jian in Langya County, without a place to stand."
"oh?"
“If you win, you need to plan.
Xiao Jian is the most cautious. He will not be willing to make a desperate attempt to use his troops. Therefore, if he wants to win, Mr. Liu needs to try to lead all his troops to dispatch. If this result is to be achieved, General Shi Huan of Yunting will not be able to return the troops. Not only will he not be able to return, he must stay in Yunting to resist the coalition forces of Dongguan and Gong, and to contact the worries of Dongwu flanks, and to resist Xiao Jian with all his strength."
"Kong Ming, tell me."
"Liang thought that even though Xiao Jian mobilized eight thousand troops, he would not be dispatched at the same time.
On the contrary, he would advance little by little and be very cautious in using troops. If he did not reach the last moment, he would never send all his troops. Therefore, Mr. Liu must be in Dongwu to attract Xiao Jian firmly, so that he could use all his strength and no longer have a backup plan. Langya troops were mainly infantry. The young master had a battalion of cavalry under him, and could evacuate Dongwu County before Xiao Jian's troops arrived and hide it outside.
After Xiao Jian attacked Dongwu with all his might, the young master's ambush came out from behind Xiao Jian. At that time, Xiao Jian would definitely be defeated.
In this battle, Xiao Jian will be greatly injured.
The young master can send another person to Kaiyang to lobby Zang Ba.
At that time, Zang Ba will attack from Kaiyang and capture Yangdu, and Xiao Jian will not be able to escape."
When Liu Chuang heard this, he couldn't help laughing and stroking his hands to praise him.
"Kong Ming's strategy is the most suitable for my heart."
"Young Master Liu, you have to think clearly that there is no risk in small victory, but there is a great risk in big victory.
At least before the ambush comes out, you must withstand all the attacks from Xiao Jian head-on... Liang Zhizi Liu is brave and has all the tigers and wolves under his command. However, these are eight thousand thieves after all. If you want to fight against the opponent with your troops in your hands, it will probably be very difficult."
Liu Chuang narrowed his eyes and was not speaking.
What Zhuge Liang said was not unreasonable. If he sent a cavalry, only two thousand infantrymen would be left.
Even if the troops in the past are added to the baggage camp, it is not easy to resist the eight thousand Langya soldiers, and it requires huge risks.
Liu Chuang raised his head and looked at Bu Zhi and others.
Seeing Bu Zhi and the others looked strange, they seemed to have something to say.
But because Zhuge Liang sat here, they finally endured it.
"Kong Ming, it's getting late, let's go and rest.
Tomorrow, I will accompany me to inspect the barracks."
How smart Zhuge Liang was, how could he not tell? Bu Zhi and others had something to say. He stood up very obediently, said goodbye to Liu Chuang, and walked out of the yatang.
"Young Master, Kong Ming clearly wants to borrow your hand and take revenge."
Zhuge Liang left for a moment. Bu Zhi stood up and said, "He wants to use the young master's troops to fight with Xiao Jian... This boy is very scheming and should not be trusted."
Liu Chuang smiled slightly, "Of course I know, he is using me."
"That……"
"But he said something right, Xiao Shengruo scratched his itch through the shoe.
Now that my army is approaching the Beihai, the troops are heading straight to Qingzhou. I think those people from Beihai will not be confused by my intentions at this time. Yesterday, whether it is Bozo or Yuan Ji, they have repeatedly explained a fact that they are in Beihai, Donglai, and there are many powerful people, and they are in charge of their own governance. Our troops are the first to arrive, and they will inevitably be hostile to many people... I don’t expect that when I enter the Beihai, I will have to struggle step by step. Therefore, I agree with Kong Ming’s idea. Since I want to fight, I will have a great victory.
Only in this way can we intimidate the people of Beihai and make them more honest.
Maybe they will be enemies with us in the future, but before they become enemies, they must consider their strength.
To put it bluntly, it is just one sentence: In the next Beihai Kingdom, whoever has the biggest fist will have the right to speak. I am trying to use Xiao Jianxiang’s head to establish my authority on the people of Beihai.”
These words were filled with murderous intent.
Everyone in the yamen hall could not help but feel an inexplicable chill, and they all closed their mouths and stopped talking.
Liu Chuang was right. They have already reached this point and there is no need to hide their goals. I think those Beihai people are also very clear about their goals. Liu Chuang's foot has already stepped on the threshold of Beihai. It is time to publicize Liu Chuang's strength to them.
Xiang Zhuang dances a sword, aiming to Pei Gong.
Liu Chuang beat Xiao Jian, and his real purpose was to put it on the Beihai Kingdom.
"Since the young master has made a decision, please make clear what to do next."
Liu Chuang closed his eyes and said in a deep voice after a while: "The existence of various counties is really troublesome... If Xiao Jian occupied various counties, he would have a place to settle down and fight with me. If I divide my troops to station in various counties, it would cause insufficient troops. Now, the counties are like a piece of waste in my eyes."
"Young Master means..."
"Langya soldiers and horses are still gathering in Zhengrong Valley.
Kong Ming also said just now that Xiao Jian was extremely cautious... I guess it would take at least two days for Langya troops to arrive in Dongwu. Therefore, I ask you to move all the people of the counties out within two days and completely destroy them."
"ah?"
"I don't want Xiao Jian to get the counties, which is too dangerous for me.
However, since I cannot occupy the counties, let it be completely destroyed. The counties are not very crowded, so it should not be too difficult to move.
I sent me the order that Huang Zhen and Wu Anguo could be responsible for this matter, and all the food, money and silk in the treasury governments in the counties and treasury were scattered to the people.
Before the evening of the next day, all the people in the counties must withdraw... and then give me a fire and burn the counties, and do not leave a complete piece of rubble for Xiao Jian. After the people in the counties move out, they can migrate in the Xiaozhushan area. Tell them that after the war is over, I will compensate them ten times their losses. But now, they must obey my orders... If anyone dares to disobey, they will kill them on the spot."
If the counties are destroyed, then Dongwu will be an isolated city.
Liu Chuang's move was quite a bit like burning his head, and he gave in to Bu Zhi and others, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Huang Zhen and Wu Anguo were originally the parents of Dongwu. Although they were not the Shangguans of the counties, the people of the counties were not unfamiliar with them.
"Ziyi, you are responsible for assisting in this matter.
Then you will lead your troops to hide in Tieju Mountain... Remember, when will you see wolf smoke lit up at the top of Dongwu City, and when will you send troops to attack?
To be continued...
