Chapter 152: Chasing the Central Plains and Raising the Heroes (Part 2)
Everyone whispered and talked for a while.
Cui Keli thought, "Li Maozhen is the weakest. If he sends troops, he will definitely have to wait until the time is right. In other words, he will not act rashly at the beginning of the war. He must have waited until we are in a stalemate with Zhu Wen to find opportunities to gain the benefits of the fisherman."
Li Zhen took over the conversation: "Li Maozhen sent troops, and there may be two strategic goals. First, seek to enter the Central Plains and take advantage of this war to seize the general trend of the Central Plains and even the entire north. If he had this goal, he might have two tactical arrangements."
"First, when we fight with Zhu Wen fiercely, we have suffered considerable losses, and when the situation of the battle is clear, we will help the weak to deal with the strong, first defeat the strong who may win, and then annex the weak side, so that he will become the final winner; second, when the winner is determined and the winner is exhausted, he will directly give a fatal blow."
"Which tactic Li Maozhen chose depends on the specific situation of our battle with Zhu Wen."
"The second strategic goal is to take advantage of the situation."
"After we fought with Zhu Wen, and we were attracted by each other, we led the prefectures and counties to capture the territory and strengthen ourselves. This goal is to seize territory and strengthen ourselves. We will only choose this way when he thinks that the goal of the first strategic cannot be achieved. If he chooses this goal, then he will plan to establish the Central Plains and the North in the future and slowly decide the outcome."
Li Ye tapped his fingers on the desk table and pondered for a moment.
Then he said: "If Li Maozhen chose the first strategic goal, he would not send troops from the beginning, but would only gather heavy troops to arrange them in Tongguan and Hezhong Prefecture, waiting for the opportunity. But if he chose the second strategic goal from the beginning, it would also be possible that he would send troops from Hezhong Prefecture to directly attack the territory of Zhaoyi and Hedong Army without waiting for our victory or defeat!"
"After all, if you seize the north, you can overlook the Central Plains. This is the general trend. If he wants to seize territory, he will definitely consider robbing Hebei first."
Zhao Polu asked nervously: "Then how should we deal with it?"
Li Ye smiled, "It's hard to deal with."
Zhao Polu: "..."
Li Ye glanced at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen understood Li Ye's gaze. He did not hide his thoughts and said directly: "To deal with Li Maozhen, there are only three choices: alliance, constraints, and attack."
"Enter allies with Li Maozhen to avoid causing trouble for us when we attack the Central Plains. In this way, even if Li Maozhen wants to take advantage of the situation, he will attack Luoyang, Heyang and other places. However, this idea is basically impossible to achieve. If you attack the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, you will have to be attacked on several sides, which is equivalent to putting your face in front of the princes of all sides."
"The restraint of Li Maozhen was to form an alliance with Wang Jian in Shu, so that Wang Jian would attack from behind when Li Maozhen used troops eastward. This was a strategy of fighting far and near, which was easier to achieve. After all, Wang Jian also wanted to seek out of Shu, which was his opportunity to intervene in this battle between the Central Plains and not be excluded by the general trend."
"The problem with this plan is that distant water cannot quench near thirst. We cannot control Wang Jian's actions, whether it is the timing or strength. Besides, Wang Jian must have his own calculations, and it is unlikely that we can completely satisfy our wishes."
"Attack means taking the initiative first, and ordering Zhaoyi, Hedong and other Hebei vassal troops to capture Hezhong Prefecture first, so that the Yellow River can be used as a barrier to defend Guanzhong."
"This strategy is also easy to achieve, but we will be forced to divide our troops. It is not enough to defend against Guanzhong, because Li Maozhen will definitely not be willing to lose Hezhong Prefecture and will actively counterattack. In this way, we will face the dilemma of fighting on both sides from the beginning!"
After saying this, Li Maozhen bowed to Li Ye, "The three choices have their pros and cons. There is no perfect plan. Please decide."
Li Ye pondered.
Cui Keli suddenly said: "When we attack Zhu Wen and start a war in the Central Plains, the winner will definitely rank in the seven towns in Hebei and the nine towns in the Central Plains (Pinglu, the balance belongs to the category of the Central Plains). At that time, it will be the most powerful force in the world. The princes of all sides will become weak, and the general trend of the Jiuzhou will also change. It can even be said that whoever can become the lord of the seven towns in the north and the nine towns in the Central Plains will have the foundation to sweep the world!"
"The princes who can participate in this war will never stand by and watch someone become so big, which will pose a fatal threat to them! They will definitely find ways to participate in this war in various ways, either directly intervening in the battlefield of the Central Plains or taking the opportunity to conquer cities and plunder the land to strengthen themselves!"
"In addition to Li Maozhen in Guanzhong and Wang Jian in Shu, Gao Pian in Huainan will also take action. Once the Huainan army raises troops north and participates in the Central Plains War, the situation will be in chaos at that time!"
After he finished speaking, there was another sound of gasping in the hall.
Originally, everyone thought that this war was just a simple battle between Li Ye and the winner of the attack on Zhu Wen. However, they did not expect that the battle between the Central Plains would affect the whole body.
In the face of the great chaos in the world and the great powers of the heroes, the changes in the core area of the Central Plains are enough to affect the nerves of the entire Jiuzhou and cause abnormal movements from all sides.
Compete for the Central Plains.
This is the greatest dream of every prince and the ultimate goal of their struggles in troubled times.
Now, the time has come, and no one will be willing to stand by and watch.
Li Ye's eyes fell on the map in the hall again, and his voice was stable: "In addition to Zhu Wen, the Central Plains, Li Maozhen, Guanzhong, Wang Jian, and Gao Pian in Huainan, there are also Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and Hunan. There are also many regional strong vassals in all parties. Although they cannot enter the Central Plains, they have the opportunity to strengthen their own strength."
"Even Hexi in the northwest, Tubo in the west, Nanzhao in the southwest, and Khitan in the northern grasslands will not fight in our country. When the border defenses in each town are empty, they will not hold their troops back. Even if they do not have the ability to compete for the Central Plains, they can still conquer the border prefectures and counties, and in fact they can restrain the princes of all sides."
Speaking of this, Li Ye stopped.
After a moment of pause, he laughed and said, "It seems that the battle of the Lone King is destined to change the world. As the saying goes, when things go in troubled times, material desires are rippling. Only true heroes can be the true heroes, and only true famous scholars can be romantic. However, when heroes fight together, they will inevitably have millions of corpses, blood flows into rivers, mountains and rivers wither, and famous scholars are just a leaf of duckweed, and heroes can only splatter blood for five steps."
Li Ye looked at the people in the hall, his tone was particularly calm: "With this order of the Lone King, the world has become purgatory, and prosperity has turned into a bubble, and we will have no way out!"
When everyone heard this, they felt Li Ye's mood and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The hall was silent again, and the needles could be heard.
Li Zhen and Cui Keli looked at each other, stood up one after another, came to the hall, bowed to Li Ye.
Li Zhen said: "In times of chaos, all the heroes rise together. If they don't move, they will change their colors. Your Highness has millions of heroes, countless good generals, and the strategists are like rain. It is enough to determine the Central Plains. Please do not hesitate!"
Cui Keli said: "In a great battle, hundreds of schools of thought contend, immortals and demons fight in the four fields, rivers are bound to rise and fall, and the people are unable to relieve the ups and downs. Your Highness has 100,000 demons to help, and the cultivators in the Immortal Realm cover the sky like clouds. This is the resource for clearing the universe. Please calm the country and support the country!"
When the generals saw Li Zhen and Cui Li's behavior, they realized that it was time to express their attitude. They stood up one after another, came to the hall and clasped their fists, and said in unison: "Please give the order to you, you are willing to drive forward and go through fire and water, and you will never refuse!"
Li Ye slowly stood up and faced the officer in the lobby.
"Okay!" His eyes were as iron as iron, and his sleeves rolled up, and his voice was like golden spear: "Send the military order of the orphan king. Shangguan Qingcheng led the wolf's teeth to 8,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantry to set off to help Caozhou City! Order the Holy Infant King to lead three thousand demons to Caozhou City together and obey Shangguan Qingcheng's dispatch!"
"Let Zhao Polu lead his army of 30,000, and walk with Shangguan Qingcheng to directly take Huazhou!"
"Let Liu Dazheng lead 80,000 infantry and cavalry to advance to Gunzhou on a date!"
"Let General Li Zhen lead the Hedong Army, Zhaoyi Army, station troops in Qinzhou and Zezhou, and move with the camera."
"Let Trickli be in charge of Qingzhou and take charge of the rear, and prepare food, fodder and supplies for the army!"
"I ordered Zhou Ce, Sun Zhiwen, and Guo Feng to be the special envoy of the orphan king to go to Chang'an, Chengdu, Xiangyang, Yangzhou and other places to spread the orphan king's manifesto..."
"make......"
"Replace..."
"When the troops and horses of Henghai, Wei Bo, Chengde and other towns in Hebei are gathered, the Lone King will personally lead the troops to the Central Plains!"
Shangguan Qingcheng, Zhao Polu, Liu Dazheng, Li Zhen, Cui Keli and the officials in the hall received orders one after another.
For a moment, the hall was filled with murderous spirit, and the momentum of the people rose sharply, gathering in a place like a rushing river, trying to lift the beam of the house.
After the military order was issued, Li Ye did not sit down immediately, but looked out of the hall.
His eyes crossed the eaves and reached the vast sky.
A storm of storm and clouds move, and millions of immortals sacrificed their lives.
This is Li Ye now!
