20demayo Chapter 229
Chapter 229
Dingyuan City, after being captured by Long Tian, has been continuously transformed. Long Tian wants to build it into a war fortress.
After this place is captured, it is impossible for Liang State to take it back. This is a thorn in Liang State's body.
"Your Majesty, Dingyuan City has gathered a million troops and can set off at any time."
"General Yuan Chonghuan can launch an attack today."
Long Tian asked Yuan Chonghuan to temporarily stop the action before, just waiting for the five million elite troops of Liang State to mobilize. As long as they move, they can find a better opportunity to destroy them.
Cavalry has the greatest advantage in movement against infantry. Once the infantry is concentrated and formed into a formation, and cooperates with large-scale war weapons, the threat to the cavalry is still very large.
"Huo Qubing has arrived in Liang State, and the main force of Liang State has already rushed to them. It's time for us to start taking action."
"Order Wei Qing and Yuan Conghuan to launch an attack tomorrow, aiming directly at Liang Hong's palace."
"Han Xin, the task of the Zhenbei Army is the city. Take the city of Liang State for me and keep it firmly in my hands."
"Order Song Que, Ye Yu can take action and completely confuse the people of Liang State."
"Cao Zhengchun, the shadow has been planning for a long time, and it's time to test it. Be sure to provide accurate intelligence to the army and assist Song Que's actions."
With multiple approaches, Long Tian doesn't believe that Liang Hong has any way to deal with it.
Everything has been planned, and the next step is for each to play.
"Your Majesty, Lord Su Jingshan has led his army to Zhenzhou and reported it at the same time as Lord Li Jing, asking for the next action plan."
Cao Zhengchun is the busiest person around Long Tian, always paying attention to intelligence from all sides.
"Jia Xu, what do you think they should do?"
Long Tian asked.
Su Jingshan led the imperial army to Zhenzhou, and Long Tian had different options for the next action.
"Your Highness, we have two choices at this time."
"First, order Li Jing to follow the imperial order, and lead the Golden Fire Cavalry with Meng Tian to evacuate Zhenzhou, and hand over the Xiaoyao King and the Jin soldiers in Zhenzhou to Su Jingshan."
"In this way, Li Jing's actions will be convenient. He can go to Danzhou to help Bai Qi quickly solve Danzhou, and then attack Yunzhou to completely solve the power of the second prince."
"You can also create conflicts and directly send troops to Huaizhou to eliminate the power of the prince."
"Or you can borrow Huaizhou and work together with Lord Sun Wu to take Zhangzhou and Yunzhou."
"The last one is to garrison near Kyoto and threaten Kyoto at any time. I believe it will make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince uneasy."
Jia Xu explained his thoughts. Once Li Jing evacuated Zhenzhou, there would be more targets for action.
Danzhou does not need Li Jing to take action. According to the latest intelligence, Bai Qi can complete the task of recovering the entire Danzhou today.
Once Bai Qi ends the battle in Danzhou, he can attack Yunzhou at any time. With Bai Qi's ability and the army he controls, it will not be a problem to deal with Yunzhou.
As for the remaining routes, they are all feasible.
Another advantage is that Su Jingshan has not been exposed, and he may be useful in the future.
"My lord, another way is to join forces with Lord Su Jingshan to completely solve the problem of King Xiaoyao. At the same time, order Xiang Yu's army to advance quickly, leave the Jin soldiers in Zhenzhou to solve the problem, and then occupy the border to respond to the invasion of the Jin Kingdom at any time."
"Even if the opportunity is right and our army is well prepared, we can counterattack the Jin Kingdom."
If Xiang Yu takes action, plus the people brought by Su Jingshan, the total force of Li Jing's side will reach at least three or four million. Even if it is a counterattack against the Jin Kingdom, Long Tian will have the confidence.
If Li Jing is given a little more time, there will be more soldiers converted into the Zhenbei Army, which will greatly enhance their combat effectiveness. For this reason, Gao Shun has been left with Li Jing by Long Tian.
Both options have their pros and cons. It depends on how Long Tian chooses. Therefore, Jia Xu stopped talking after he finished speaking and waited for Long Tian's decision.
"If we pass through Huaizhou, will the prince agree?"
Long Tian asked.
"It should be. Now Zhongzhou is short of troops, and most of the troops have gone to Zhenzhou. At this time, the prince will not be willing to start a war easily."
"I guess the prince's plan is to deal with Li Jing and Meng Tian in Zhenzhou, but the prince doesn't know that Lord Su Jingshan is our man. As long as the Golden Fire Cavalry leaves Zhenzhou, the prince dare not let it go."
Jia Xu's words make sense. A small and powerful cavalry cannot be stopped without sufficient preparation and troops.
Moreover, this army is still for the purpose of leaving, which makes it more difficult to block.
Even if the prince wants to keep the Golden Fire Cavalry, the senior officials of the court will not agree. If Long Tian is angered, this army will not leave and gallop in Zhongzhou, which will be a big headache.
"Cao Zhengchun, what is the current situation of the battle in Zhangzhou and Yunzhou?"
Long Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, Yunshan and King Kangping have each invested nearly 2 million troops. After this period of bloody fighting, both sides have suffered heavy losses. King Kangping has already expressed his intention to cease fire."
"However, Yunshan does not seem to be willing to give up. Even if he has to fight to the death, Yunshan vows to defeat King Kangping and make him completely lose the opportunity to compete for hegemony."
Yunshan is an interesting guy. He is completely different from other princes. At this critical moment, he is not thinking about hegemony, but revenge.
Maybe Yunshan knows his own strength and wants to take down King Kangping while he still has strength.
As for competing for hegemony in Xia Kingdom, perhaps Yunshan has never thought about it. This guy is an alternative.
"In this case, order Li Jing to stay and help Su Jingshan, and Meng Tian to lead the army to pass through Huaizhou and take Zhangzhou for me. If the prince obstructs, then attack Huaizhou first."
"Cao Zhengchun, send someone to contact Yunshan. As long as Yunshan is willing, I can help him get revenge, provided that he hands over Yunzhou. In the future, I will protect him from worries for the rest of his life."
"Whether Yunshan agrees or not, order Sun Wu to prepare his troops for battle and attack Yunzhou at any time."
After a little thought, Long Tian decided not to expose Su Jingshan for the time being, and the 50,000 golden fire cavalry did not need to stay in Zhenzhou. On the contrary, if Meng Tian could lead the army to take Zhangzhou, it would be more beneficial to Long Tian.
As long as the states north of Kyoto are controlled by Long Tian, the overall situation is basically set.
As for the Jin Kingdom and King Xiaoyao, replacing the 50,000 golden fire cavalry with the 2 million troops of the court will have the same effect, or even greater to some extent.
With the cooperation of Xiang Yu's 600,000 troops, it is enough to solve Zhenzhou.
The situation can be said to be becoming clearer.
"Your Majesty, we should inform Generals Li Jing and Bai Qi to be on guard against the raid of the King of Zhennan."
Jia Xu reminded.
Currently, the only person who is most likely to pose a threat to Long Tian is the King of Zhennan, not only because of his own strength, but also because of his location.
The key is not to give Jingguo a chance. This despicable nation can do anything. Once it intervenes in the war of Xia, it will be a catastrophic blow.
