Chapter 747: Lure the snake out of the hole, Guan Zhong’s plan
"One hundred thousand troops, this Li Shikai is really trying his best!" In Yecheng, Han Xin threw a piece of bitten chicken leg into the roast chicken plate in front of him, and wiped his greasy hands.
The Land of Four Rivers is the richest place in the entire country, and it is also the most important piece of territory in the entire country.
Almost more than one-third of Da Cang's money, grain, and taxes come from the land of Four Rivers.
Among them, Henan Road, the land of four rivers, is where Tianjing, the capital of Da Cang Emperor, is located.
According to Da Cang's regular establishment, the regular establishment of a government army should be maintained at one hundred thousand.
The original location of the General's Mansion in the Four Towns was because the border troops of the Four Towns were located there, so no Mansion troops were formed.
Some Da Cang centers do not have any external threats, or are relatively barren, and will not be fully staffed. Just like the original Yannan Dao, which had a nominal strength of 100,000 government troops,
But in fact there are only 50,000 government troops.
The land of Four Rivers, Hedong, Hexi, and Hebei are responsible for assisting in guarding the border. For example, the land of Hebei has the responsibility of assisting in guarding the northern border.
Therefore, in Hedong, Hexi, and Hebei, the establishment of auxiliary troops exceeds the regular establishment. For example, in Hebei Province, the official establishment of the government army is 100,000, but the actual scale of the government army reached 20,000 at its peak.
One hundred thousand. In Hedong and Hexi, there are nominally one hundred thousand government troops, but the actual scale of the government troops has reached 120,000 or even 150,000.
120,000 soldiers and horses, 100,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched at once. At this time, Hedong Road was already empty to the lowest point.
The generals below were all sitting upright. Han Xin could look so casual, but that didn't mean they could look casual.
"Li Shikai and Gu Yeming are also confident!" Guan Zhong pointed to several places around Hedong Road and said with a smile.
There are only a few places around Hedong Road. The Zhenbei Army is busy at this time. How can they have the time to care about other things!
I'm afraid you have to wear a pair of pants on Hexi Road and Hedong Road!
The Land of Four Rivers is the most important place in the world. Naturally, the governors and generals that the late emperor arranged for these roads were all ones he trusted enough.
Just like the former Hebei Province, the marching general of Hebei Province was from the royal family, and the then governor of Hebei Province, Li Mingjing, was single-handedly promoted by the late emperor and even trained him as a future prime minister.
To this day, Li Mingjing has never surrendered to Wang Yu. Naturally, because of Li Xuanyi, Wang Yu cannot always keep him in a prison. He has already released him, so
However, it only arranged for a grandmaster to be "personally protected".
Therefore, the situation in Hexi Road is the same as that in Hedong and Hebei in the past. People who love Cangshi are definitely here.
As for the Zhenxi Army, someone jumped out to deal with the Zhendong Army at this time, and of course it was impossible for him to intervene.
At this time, although Hedong Road seemed empty on the surface, there was actually nothing serious about it.
"Drink! Li Shikai and Gu Yeming are really desperate to start a war at this time! These two people are indeed the true loyal men of Da Cang!" Du Ruhui sighed softly.
And when Li Shikai and Gu Yeming attacked Hebei Road at this time, when Beidi was heading south, what would the world think of them, and how would future generations think of them? How could this not be considered desperate?
Scholars die for their confidants. In fact, for literati like them, there is a person to whom they are loyal, for whom they can sacrifice everything, even their lives, or even their more precious reputation. For them,
For a literati, this is a great blessing!
If they can meet someone who is worthy of their loyalty, they will have no regrets in this life!
Therefore, even though the two sides were on opposite sides, Du Ruhui was still willing to call them loyal men of the universe.
Some people, even as their opponents, will respect them from the bottom of their hearts.
"General, when will our reinforcements set out!"
"I'm afraid the county guard's small force alone won't be able to sustain it for too long!" Deng Qiang said directly.
This is why Li Shikai chose to attack in multiple ways in order to seize this unprepared opportunity and want to maximize the results from the beginning.
Yu Qian only faced 30,000 soldiers and horses. If 100,000 soldiers and horses really surrounded him, how could he keep defending with just those 3,000 soldiers and horses?
Although Yu Qian's ability is not bad, did Li Shikai get it for free?
Being able to be trusted by the late emperor to arrange this place requires more than mere loyalty.
"Actually, I have always wanted to know how many An Tianwu there are in this huge Hebei Province!" Guan Zhong said with a chuckle.
"What do you mean by the governor, luring the snake out of its hole?" Han Xin said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Of course! After all, in this huge Hebei Province, there are probably quite a few monsters and monsters!" There was already a hint of coldness in Guan Zhong's voice.
If you don't find a way to get these monsters to jump out on their own initiative, it's impossible to find out all of them just by checking.
After all, for example, An Tianwu, for example, works conscientiously on weekdays, no different from other generals. If you look at it with the naked eye, how can you tell that this one is still working hard here!
"In this case! I'm afraid it will waste a lot of time!" Han Xin tapped the document in front of him with his fingertips, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
"General, you just want to have more twists and turns, but at this time, you have to do it as a last resort!" Guan Zhong nodded towards Han Xin.
First of all, no matter what, they do have the need to lure the snake out of its hole.
Secondly, they also have the need to delay!
There is still a raging war at Tianlang Pass. Although Yao Guangxiao has figured out a way, the implementation of this plan will take time. It will also take time for this plan to ferment until it finally breaks out.
During this period of time, they might not be able to extend their front line and easily enter Hedong Road.
If they really resolve the matter here too quickly, and if the soldiers and horses in Hedong Road are beaten too many by them, they may give Hedong Road's advantages to others in vain.
But if you don't kill a large number of the opponent's soldiers and horses, but let the opponent go back, it can be said that you don't tire of it!
Therefore, Guan Zhong's idea is to master a degree.
The two sides slowly dragged on here for a while, and when the Tianlang Pass came to an end, that was the time to really take advantage of Li Shikai's force.
Immediately afterwards, they can break into Hedong Road in one fell swoop and start a new era for them.
