Su Dingfang's eyes flashed with thought, and he asked: "Is it the Li family where Li Guang lives?"
Although there are many families surnamed Li in the world today, there are not many Li families under Liu Che. The most famous one is naturally the Li family where Li Guang lives.
Therefore, when Su Dingfang mentioned Li family background, he first thought of Li Guang.
"Yes, this Li Ling is indeed from the same clan as Li Guang." Ding Yanping said.
"How did Li Ling stop General Sun..."
Only halfway through his words, Su Dingfang was speechless after seeing the contents of the battle report.
Originally, he was a little curious as to what method Li Ling used to prevent Sun Lingming from ascending the tower, but he did not expect that he would use his own crossbow stone method.
Su Dingfang's self-invented crossbow stone strategy to kill Yuan Shoucheng, the great master who burned his inner strength, can be said to have lit up a guiding light for the princes of the world, allowing them to all have methods to deal with individual strong men, and now this strategy
It also affected the Qin army.
Li Ling relied on learning from Su Dingfang's tactics to successfully prevent Sun Lingming from ascending the city, so in a sense, Sun Lingming would be defeated, and Su Dingfang also had some responsibility.
"There are many outstanding people in the Li family in Youzhou. In addition to Li Guang, there is also Li Ling. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to promote himself and doesn't understand the general trend. After all, he is just trying to do something like a chariot." Su Dingfang said with a smile.
Although Li Ling repelled Sun Lingming and frustrated the Qin army's offensive, in Su Dingfang's view, this was not a big damage.
In such a defeat, even if the Qin army loses ten times, it can still come back again, but as long as the Han army loses once, it will immediately be broken.
Sun Lingming is still in the process of growing up, so this defeat should be regarded as a lesson learned.
Sun Lingming was repulsed by Li Ling, and Su Dingfang also encountered his opponents, namely Li Guang and Tian Yu.
Li Guang and Tian Yu each led an army and defended the same city. They were each other's horns. When one side was in trouble, the other side immediately launched support and barely blocked Su Dingfang's offensive.
Although Su Dingfang failed to capture the northern part of Yuyang in one fell swoop, he already had a complete strategy, so he postponed the layout of the Yuyang strategy.
"Report...General Sun Lingming sent a letter asking for reinforcements. He wants to increase his troops by 3,000 to fight Li Ling again."
Su Dingfang had naturally expected that General Sun would not accept defeat and wanted to avenge his previous humiliation.
He was a world-famous Qitian Divine General, but now he was defeated by a nobody like Li Ling. Naturally, he had to regain his reputation, otherwise he would be laughed at.
Although Su Dingfang knew this, he would not let Sun Lingming continue to fight with Li Ling.
This is not because he does not trust Sun Lingming's military bravery, but through the previous battle, Sun Lingming has fully proved that his ability to command troops is indeed inferior to Li Ling, so even if he increases his troops, there will be no results.
"Immediately Feige sent a message to General Sun, asking him to give up the attack on Guangping, come and join the main force, and then make another big move." Su Dingfang ordered in a deep voice.
"promise."
After receiving the order, Sun Lingming felt a little unwilling, but he did not disobey the order.
He had thought about avenging Li Ling, but he couldn't ignore the safety of the entire army for his own selfish interests. Besides, he was also very curious about what big operation Su Dingfang was talking about.
Sun Lingming gave up the attack on Guangping City and instead led the army to join Su Dingfang's army.
He originally boasted that he would capture Li Guang alive in Haikou, but Li Ling almost couldn't find him in the north. This made Sun Lingming depressed and at the same time feeling shameless. He no longer dared to be as arrogant and domineering as before.
Su Dingfang saw that Sun Lingming's attitude had become much more humble. He laughed secretly in his heart and also knew that Sun Lingming had not really changed his temper. He just experienced a defeat and felt that his face was dull, so he was pretending to be humble.
"The beating he received was still not severe enough. After the battle in Hebei is over, it will be good to let Cunxiao teach him a few lessons." Su Dingfang thought to himself.
Perhaps some lower-level members of the Qin Army would suspect that Li Cunxiao had died in the battle, but the higher-ups would not think so. After all, how could Li Cunxiao die so easily?
As far as Sun Lingming's current strength is concerned, the Qin army can't find anyone other than Li Cunxiao who can defeat him reliably. That's why Su Ding just wanted to use Li Cunxiao to combat Sun Lingming's unruly arrogance.
.
After Sun Lingming, Ding Yanping, Yang Zhi, Cheng Yaojin and other generals arrived, Su Dingfang, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his head and said with a faint smile: "Are you all curious as to why I ordered to stop the attack?"
Sun Lingming quickly asked: "General, what is going on? The last general is about to capture Guangping City."
Su Dingfang rolled his eyes and thought: I believe you are a big-headed idiot. If I hadn't transferred you back, you might have fallen over.
Su Dingfang said: "Although the defense of Generals Li Guangtian, Yu and Li Ling in Yuyang is not impeccable, it is quite complete. If we attack by force, even if we can finally capture Yuyang, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses.
There is no more energy left to march into Yanjing.
Everyone, think about it, which one deserves more credit is the capture of Yuyang? Or the capture of Yanjing, the capital of the puppet Han Dynasty?"
"Of course it's Yanjing. But if we don't capture Yuyang, we won't be able to defeat Yanjing at all?"
Cheng Yaojin said while scratching his head, while Sun Lingming and Ding Yanping also nodded in agreement.
"Who said that if you don't capture Yuyang, you won't be able to capture Yanjing City?" Su Dingfang said with a mysterious smile.
"What?"
Generals Sun Lingming, Ding Yanping and others were immediately shocked. Is there really a way to attack Huanglong and reach Yanjing City? Then why bother with Yuyang?
Su Dingfang walked to the map that was as high as one person, pointed the direction of Lu County with the sword in his hand, and said: "After the general captured Lu County, I asked a local old hunter for a way to bypass Yuyang City and reach Guangzhou.
The paths of Yangjun.”
"real?"
Sun Lingming and other generals all looked surprised. After all, if there was such a way, they could directly attack Yanjing City and win the first victory in destroying the Han Dynasty.
A glint flashed in Su Dingfang's eyes, and he said with a confident smile: "It's absolutely true, that's why I recruited General Sun back and prepared to concentrate our forces to attack Yanjing.
However, this road is very steep and difficult to walk, and it will take a lot of effort to walk through it smoothly.
Sun Lingming. Where is Cheng Yaojin?"
Sun Lingming and Cheng Yaojin stood up together, knelt down on one knee, cupped their fists and said, "The general will be here."
"The two generals will march directly to Yanjing with me. As for General Ding Yanping, I will order you to command an army of 8,000 people and guard Lu County to prevent Li Guang's counterattack."
"promise."
Sun Lingming and Cheng Yaojin were both overjoyed, while Ding Yanping was a little a bit worried. After all, it was the first success in destroying the Han Dynasty, and he just missed it.
