075 The Battle of Yuzhou
After taking down Liangshan, Liu Cheng calmed down and stayed in Yahai City and was busy with various territorial affairs.
And Yuzhou happened to be lively during this period.
Cao An and Zhao Kuangyin finally reached a cooperation, and after Liu Cheng took action against Liangshan, he began to organize the suppression of Huang Chao.
I have to say that Cao An and his two erotic people are both decisive and start doing things without hesitation when they are sure of what they want to do.
Almost as Liu Cheng took down the Liangshan gang, Cao An and Zhao Kuangyin also took action.
Cao An and Zhao Kuangyin didn't know that the news of their cooperation had been known by Huang Chao, and they wanted to offend Huang Chao.
Taking advantage of Zhao Kuangyin's opportunity to deliver supplies to Huang Chao, he secretly conveyed information to the trapped Di Qing.
The two sides agreed on the time for the raid. Zhao Kuangyin was preparing to organize elite troops and give Huang Chao an internal and external attack. Even if Huang Chao could not be taken down in one fell swoop, he could rescue Di Qing's army.
To be fair, Zhao Kuangyin's tactic is quite good. With his comprehensive consideration of details in all aspects, they still have a good chance to win Huang Chao if they really implement it. Of course, there is a premise that Huang Chao really fell into the trap.
But is this possible?
Because of Liu Cheng, Huang Chao had already known about their cooperation when Cao An and Zhao Kuangyin met.
Moreover, Liu Cheng also provided a lot of information to Huang Chao in the future. It can be said that Zhao Kuangyin's plan was basically carried out under Huang Chao's nose.
Under such circumstances, if Zhao Kuangyin's tactic is successful, there will be a devil.
When Zhao Kuangyin arrived at the agreed time, the elite cavalry he had gathered out temporarily launched an attack directly.
At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin caught Huang Chao off guard and rushed to Huang Chao's army with great ease.
Of course, things cannot be so simple and easy. When Zhao Kuangyin, the elite troops of Zhao Kuangyin rushed in and were about to rescue Di Qing, Huang Chao launched a counterattack without hesitation.
Zhao Kuangyin's army first discovered that they had reached the designated location, but Di Qing was unable to take action at all, and the location of Di Qing's army also changed. They had no way to connect with Di Qing.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Chao's signature quagmire army appeared again. As soon as this army emerged, the combat effectiveness of Huang Chao's army increased greatly, and Zhao Kuangyin's elite cavalry almost fell into it.
If Cao An hadn't had a good experience at the critical moment, he would take action immediately.
If Zhao Kuangyin's army was rescued before the Huang Chao army siege, Zhao Kuangyin would probably have to accompany another army in.
…………
"Is this the situation of the battle in Yuzhou these days?"
On Yahai, Liu Cheng looked at the briefing on the battle situation in Yuzhou compiled by Lu Qing. Liu Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He saw many strange places in this battle.
"What's wrong, something is wrong. Zhao Kuangyin is a long-standing general who has fought for many battles. Why do I think his performance in this battle is a bit abnormal? Even if the information is not equal, it's not so reckless. Why do I think he is fighting a bit fake, or even a bit intentional? Did Huang Chao find Zhao Kuangyin again?"
"I have learned about it. Over the past period of time, no one has appeared in Huang Chao's military camp, nor has he contacted Zhao Kuangyin, but it is not ruled out that he has other ways to contact Zhao Kuangyin."
"Either it was Huang Chao and Zhao Kuangyin who were in contact, or Zhao Kuangyin planned to fight, but he didn't expect to lose. I personally prefer the former of these two possibilities." Liu Cheng knocked on the table.
Lu Qing's eyes lit up: "You mean, Huang Chao used the lives of Di Qing and others as bargaining chips to let Zhao Kuangyin watch the tiger fight in the mountains."
"The possibility is very high. After all, for Zhao Kuangyin, neither Huang Chao nor Cao An is a friend. It is not unreasonable that he really did the matter of watching the tiger fight. But if this is the case, the situation in Yuzhou will be interesting."
To be honest, Liu Cheng was relieved at this time.
For him, if possible, he still hopes that Zhao Kuangyin can live for a longer period of time.
If Cao An and Zhao Kuangyin cooperate without reservation, Huang Chao may be defeated or even wiped out.
But if Zhao Kuangyin just worked but didn't work, the situation would be very different. Even if Huang Chao couldn't take Cao An, he wouldn't be so easy to be killed.
"I hope Zhao Kuangyin really wants to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, so that Huang Chao can hold on for a while."
After sending the most sincere blessings to Huang Chao, Liu Cheng immediately ordered Lu Qing next to him: "No matter what, Huang Chao's attention has increased to the highest level. If Huang Chao is defeated, we will not be able to do anything else.
You can do nothing, but we must take Huang Chao, this person, and he will be of great use to me."
…………
While Liu Cheng was thinking about Huang Chao's head and sending sincere blessings to Huang Chao.
In Yuzhou, in Cao An's military camp, dozens of generals from the Cao and Song armies were doing serious tactical deductions.
If Liu Cheng saw this, he would probably be a little surprised. After all, he had just reached the conclusion that Zhao Kuangyin might not work hard. Judging from the current attitude of Cao and Song, he did not want to be in harmony with his appearance.
What they were talking about at this time was undoubtedly the matter of destroying Huang Chao.
A large amount of information received by Liu Cheng showed that the battle situation in Yuzhou should be in a stalemate for a while.
For Di Qing and others, Zhao Kuangyin must sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
But the current situation is just the opposite. The actions of Cao An and Zhao Kuangyin not only did not slow down, but could even speed up.
Judging from their current strategic arrangement, they are preparing to fight quickly, and are even ready to decide the outcome in one battle.
And this is not the most important thing for Liu Cheng. The most important thing is that it is not difficult to see from the details of their planning that they already know Liu Cheng's intelligence system.
Their confidentiality work is done quite well and is particularly targeted, and it is obviously for Liu Cheng.
In fact, their previous battle was not only to confuse Huang Chao, but also to confuse Liu Cheng.
They wanted to give Liu Cheng a kind of thing, but they did not intend and could not achieve a quick battle.
Only by confusing Liu Cheng in this way can they ensure that the war against Huang Chao will not have any variables.
Judging from the situation so far, they seem to have done it.
Now both Huang Chao and Liu Cheng are confused. If they choose to take action at this time, it is very likely that they will directly take Huang Chao.
