(It's the end of the month, the lieutenant resumed the third update yesterday. If you have monthly votes, please vote for the lieutenant. If you have the light of the great god, please take it all, so that the tyrant data will be better.)
Outside Chenliu City, the camps are continuous and the flags are like waves.
Yan Liang's more than 100,000 troops built an arc-shaped defense line with Chenliu City as the center, connecting seven battalions along the outer periphery of the city, and digging long trenches between each battalion to stop the Yan cavalry from galloping, and at the same time forming a horn.
As Yan Liang expected, Zhang Fei's defeat and the losses of thousands of Yan troops were not enough to force Liu Bei to withdraw his troops.
Liu Bei, who was defeated first, led more than 100,000 Yan troops and advanced southward from Junyi, and formed a confrontation with the Yan army ten miles north of Chenliu City.
More than 200,000 troops from both sides formed a confrontation in a area less than seven miles north of Chenliu.
After seven consecutive days, Liu Bei stopped moving and did not launch a crazy attack on the barriers of his Chu army as Yan Liang expected.
In contrast to Liu Bei's unmoved control of the army, Cao Cao, who was on the front line of Wuguan, launched a series of fierce attacks on Wuguan, as if he wanted to show Liu Bei the sincerity of his alliance.
There were more than 40,000 troops and horses in Wuguan, and there were two generals Zhang He who hired. With the danger of the pass, they were enough to withstand Cao Cao's fierce attack. Yan Liang was not worried at all about the situation on the western front.
On the contrary, Liu Bei's silence made Yan Liang feel a sense of uneasiness.
The King of Chu was in charge.
It was already late at night, and under the swaying candlelight, Yan Liang was still studying the military dispute at his desk.
Military advisor Pang Tong was closing his eyes and pondering, planning to general Xu Shu, his eyes were also staring at the map, and speculation flashed in his eyebrows.
"There must be something strange if Liu Bei doesn't move after pressing him. You must think of it for me. What is his plan?" Yan Liang slapped the table and cut the railway decisively.
The figures of the two strategists were slightly shocked.
Soon after, Xu Shu's brows tightened, but Pang Tong slowly opened his eyes.
Pang Tong stood up, walked to the desk a few steps, and glanced at the map, as if he had thought of something.
Yan Liang understood that look very well, but Pang Tong must have noticed Liu Bei's intention.
After a while, Pang Tong drew the map and said, "King, if my guess is correct, the reason why Liu Bei stayed on the line of Chenliu is most likely because he wanted to divide the troops in Luoyang and plagiarize Xudu to attack our army."
Split troops in Luoyang and plagiarize Xu Du!
These eight words passed through Yan Liang's mind like lightning, and his spirit suddenly became tense, and Ru Ren's gaze quickly turned to the northwest of the map.
There is exactly where Luoyang is located.
Go south from Luoyang, pass through Taigu Pass, one of the eight passes, pass through Yangrencheng and Liangcheng, and you can go directly to Luyangcheng.
When the Eighteen Princes attacked Dong, Sun Jian defeated the Xiliang army through this route and finally invaded Luoyang.
On the contrary, Liu Bei's Yan army can naturally conquer this route and conquer Luyang from Luoyang.
Once the Yan army attacked Luyang City, they could attack Ye County to the south and threaten Wancheng. To the east, they could attack Xiangcheng, and after plagiarizing Xudu.
If Liu Bei really chose to divide his troops in Luoyang, then this problem would be really difficult.
"The reason why Shi Yuan speculated was not without reason. However, during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's troops were far superior to Cao Cao, but he did not dare to divide the troops. Now Liu Bei has only more than 20,000 or 30,000 of us. Do he dare to divide the troops?"
Xu Shu expressed his doubts.
Yan Liang hit the imperial case with a fist and said decisively: "Liu Bei is not Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao dares not, Liu Bei must dare, yes, this big-eared thief must want to divide the troops in Luoyang."
Yan Liangtai knew Liu Bei and resolutely made a conclusion.
"Well, since that's the case, we should send troops immediately and increase our defenses in Luyang." Xu Shu nodded and said.
Pang Tong followed and said, "Although Liu Bei divided his troops in Luoyang, he would definitely not dare to relax the Chenliu line. It is expected that the maximum number of troops he divided into Luoyang was about 30,000. Our army was mainly guarding. In this case, only 20,000 troops were needed to reinforce Luyang."
"What Shi Yuan said is extremely true, and I also agreed to divide 20,000 troops to reinforce Luyang." Xu Shu said in conjunction.
The two top strategists agreed, but Yan Liang fell into silence at this time and did not agree to their proposal.
The blade-like gaze stared at the word "Luoyang" on the map. There was something strange in his eyes, as if there was a sudden illumination in Yan Liang's mind.
After a while, Yan Liang raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Twenty thousand is a little short, so just give 50,000."
fifty thousand!
As soon as these words were spoken, Pang Tong and Xu Shu were both shocked. The two looked at each other, and their eyes were confused.
"King, Luyang is just a side army after all, and Chenliu is the main battlefield after all. If we divide 50,000 troops to Luyang, then our Chenliu army will only have 70,000 remaining. It seems that we are unable to do anything to fight against Liu Bei for more than 100,000 troops." Xu Shu expressed his opposition.
Pang Tong also nodded slightly, agreeing with Xu Shu's statement of being alive.
At this time, Yan Liang disagreed and said, "Who has stipulated that Chen Liu must be the main battlefield, and Luyang must be the secondary battlefield."
Pang Tong and Xu Shu were stunned again, and their suspicious expressions became heavier.
However, the two of them were the top wise men of the world. They were confused for a moment and suddenly realized.
"The king's meaning is that by using the name of separating troops to rescue Luyang, he used his superior forces to defeat the invading enemy, and would he capture Luoyang in one fell swoop?" Pang Tong asked in surprise.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, smiling without saying a word.
After understanding Yan Liang's intention, the two strategists were surprised and as if they were suddenly enlightened.
Xu Shu said excitedly: "If you can conquer Luoyang, it will not only cause heavy blows to the morale of the Yan army, but also threaten Liu Bei's side to the east. Then the initiative of the entire battlefield will be completely turned to our side. The king's plan is really wonderful."
Listening to Xu Shu's praise, Yan Liang was very calm and did not feel too proud.
In fact, if you are purely smart, Yan Liang may not be as good as Pang Tong and Xu Shu, but Yan Liang's advantage is that as a time traveler, he sometimes has a broader mind, or rather, more "thinking".
Just like the Battle of Guandu in history, Yan Liang thought that Yuan Shao had superior troops back then, why bother to attack the Guandu defense line carefully built by Cao Cao?
If Yuan Shao could turn around the limitations of his thinking at that time, to sweep away the prefectures in Henan and gradually erode Cao Cao's territory, rather than wanting to achieve his achievements in one battle, then the ending of history would probably have been different.
It was inspired by the Battle of Guandu that Yan Liang thought about why he had to fight against Chenliu and had an unnecessary stalemate with Liu Bei.
It is precisely this open mind that made Yan Liang think of another way to win.
Inspired by Yan Liang, the two top strategists agreed with Yan Liang's plan after careful consideration.
So that night, Yan Liang sent 20,000 troops and horses in the name of increasing defense in Luyang, but in fact, he sent 50,000 troops to Luyang at night.
Because this battle was of great importance, Yan Liang decided to lead his army in person, and Huang Zhong, Wen Chou and Lu Lingqi followed the battle.
As for the Chenliu camp, Yan Liang left Pang Tong and Xu Shu to temporarily take charge of military operations. The generals of Gan Ning, Pang De, Zhang Liao and Ma Dai were under the banner of King Chu, and they insisted on not fighting anyway.
...
In the evening of two days, Yan Liang's army rushed to Luyang City.
Before Yan Liang's army entered the city, the scouts sent information that they were tens of thousands of Yan army infantry and cavalry, who had already moved south from Liang County, and the vanguard was less than twenty miles away from Luyang City.
At the top of the city, Yan Liang, who was standing with his hands behind his back, couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth when he heard the information.
As Pang Tong expected, it was indeed good. Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, really wanted to attack Luyang.
"How many enemy troops are there, and who are the leading generals?"
"Return to the king, the enemy army has about 25,000 infantry and more than 5,000 cavalry. The general who led the army was Zhang Fei, and the enemy generals accompanied by the army also had two generals Taishi Ci and Zhang Yan."
Taishi Ci was once the number one general in Jiangdong.
Zhang Yan, the former commander of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, gave Yuan Shao a headache for many years.
Liu Bei sent such a powerful combination, and it was obvious that he was determined to win the battle against Luyang.
"What a pity, Liu Bei, you have Wolong, and I also have Feng Chu. Zhuge Liang's plan was not that simple to hide from Pang Tong."
Amid the sneer, Yan Liang immediately ordered the entire army to rest for a night, and early tomorrow morning, a head-on attack on the invading Yan army.
...
Dust rolls and iron armor is magnificent.
Thirty thousand Yan army infantry and cavalry rushed south in a fierce manner, and their troops headed straight towards Luyang City.
Zhang Fei, who was carrying a spear, had a fierce fire that was eager to take revenge on his hideous face.
"Yan Piece, I was hit by your plan in the previous game, which led to the defeat of our Yan army in the first battle. Today, with the plan of the military advisor Kong Ming, I will seize Luyang and seize your retreat, and avenge the defeat of the previous game."
Zhang Fei became more and more excited as he thought about it, urging the army to move forward in a hurry.
At this time, he wanted to put on his wings and fly to Luyang City, insert the Yan army flag on the top of the city, and then imagine Yan Liang's panic expression when he heard the fall behind.
Just as Zhang Fei was thinking, he saw Zhang Yan rushing from the front army and shouting: "General Yide, the scout in front of him, the reinforcements of the Chu army have advanced to Luyang City first."
"What!" Zhang Fei was shocked, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"The Chu army's reinforcements have arrived at Luyang City in advance, with at least tens of thousands of people." Zhang Yan repeated it and said worriedly: "General Yide, since the Chu army's reinforcements have arrived, it is obvious that Yan Zhe has seen through the military advisor's plan. Yan thought that we should withdraw our troops and withdraw back to Luoyang."
From Chenliu to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang to this place, we took a long detour and rushed for hundreds of miles. Could it be that we just withdraw our troops?
Could it be that the revenge that Yan Liang defeated that day would not avenge it?
Zhang Fei was surprised and felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart. He was unwilling to return in vain and let Yan Liang take a joke again.
After flirting for a while, gritting teeth for a while, Zhang Fei's fierce eyes suddenly became like fire.
Looking up at the distance, Zhang Fei said angrily: "The main force of Yan thief is in Chenliu. Even if there are reinforcements in Luyang, I don't believe it. I can't take a Luyang city if I have 30,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers, so I can't take a Luyang city and continue to move forward. I will not give up until I break Luyang this time!"
