Lujiang City.After sending Dong Zhongshu's spiritual seat away, Ren Zhen did not return to the camp by the river, but went straight into the city to meet Xiahou Chun and discuss the next countermeasures.Speaking of counseling, he is a very assertive strategist, and he has already come up with ideas on how to deal with the situation in front of him.But the commander of the three armies was Xiahou Chun, not himself, and he had no right to order the whole army to fight, so he could only come to Xiahou Chun.Fortunately, Xiahou Chun was promoted by him with all his might, and there is a relationship with Xiahou Ba, so he has enough weight in his words.He opened his mouth to suggest that Xiahou Chun at least would not be like Jinghou Li Cunxiao, who disdained him and turned a deaf ear.This is also the reason why he recommended Xiahou Chun in the first place.When he came to the Shuai Mansion, Xiahou Chun greeted him with a smile and was doubly cordial.Repelled the attack of the white-robed army for the first time, as the commander-in-chief, the pressure on Xiahou Chun's shoulders was finally reduced, of course, this was all thanks to Ren Zhen personally going into battle and commanding well.After sitting down, there was little gossip, and Ren Zhen asked everyone else to step down and talk secretly with Xiahou Chun."
I came here today to understand General Xiahou's opinion.In the last battle, Chen Baipao returned in vain, stopped at the south bank of the Lujiang River and camped, and has not crossed the river to attack again, but has not retreated.What do you think he has in mind?"
he led his troops to garrison the north bank, and he should maintain communication and cooperation with the main force in the city.Xiahou Chun didn't think about it, he had already thought about this question, "I thought that Chen Baipao was not timid and in a dilemma, but he didn't want to spend a heavy price and fight with us, so he chose to wait and see."
If I'm right, he's waiting for a fighter. ”Ren Zhen agreed with his opinion, took a sip of the teacup, and remained silent, "Then what do you think, what is the fighter he wants to wait for" Xiahou Chun pondered for a moment, and replied with his eyebrows: "The middle road is blocked, he is waiting for the other two roads to advance, attack the mountains of the two realms together, and surround it from the left and right, leaving Lujiang City in a desperate situation and isolated."
Once that situation arises, it will be difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, and we can only tie our hands and catch them. ”Chen Qingzhi's intentions are not difficult to guess, and it is also the battle situation that is about to take shape.After all, the upper and lower armies of the Southern Jin Dynasty attacked the city and pulled out the village, and they also won many battles, but the speed was slower than that of the white-robed army, and it was only a matter of time before they reached the Two Realms Mountain.With Ren Zhen's troops alone, it is difficult to support it alone, even if it can temporarily block the white-robed army, it will not be able to stop the power of the three armies of the Southern Jin Dynasty.The overall gap is obvious, and if you want to turn the tide, how can it be so easy.Ren Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too."
Since we have seen through Chen Baipao's intentions, we can't sit still, we must find a way to disrupt his calculations. ”Xiahou Chun couldn't help but sigh, everyone understands the truth, the question is who can do it.The enemy army has become more and more courageous the more they fight, constantly accumulating advantages, and the national war has been fought until now, and it is impossible to reverse the decline at once and suppress the opponent's three ways.No one can stop the enemy from meeting their forces.Seeing that he was silent, Ren Zhen knew that he had nothing to do, and he began to coax him again, so he didn't sell it, and said directly: "The defeat of the other two roads is difficult to change, and we can't help, so the only way to stop them is to lure the enemy deeper." ”"Lure the enemy deeper" Xiahou Chun was stunned, understanding the meaning of these words, but at the same time he didn't understand.At the battle meeting of the palace, Xiahou Chun first proposed that the enemy could be lured to go deeper, appropriately abandon part of the city, lure the enemy's lone army to go deeper, and then break through each one.Therefore, he immediately understood, the only way for Ren Zhen to say should be to lure the white-robed army in front of him to go deep and defeat it before the enemy army has yet to meet, so that he doesn't have to worry about falling into a heavy encirclement.However, what he didn't understand was that at this point today, Lujiang City could not afford to lose, there was no way to retreat, and there was no bait that could be used to give up strategically, and what could be used to lure Chen Baipao to lure the enemy deeper, which was a good strategy.The problem is that Chen Baipao is resourceful and calm, and if he doesn't have a lucrative enough bait, he can't lure this person into taking the bait.There is no need for him to take risks, he just needs to hold on and wait for the three armies to converge.He said suspiciously: "What do you want to lure him?"
Ren Zhen sat down and replied, "Grain and grass." ”Xiahou Chun's eyebrows trembled, and he was uneasy, "That's our lifeblood."
Grain and herbs are already in short supply, and they urgently need to be replenished, and then use it as bait, in case of mistakes, stealing chickens and rice, it is tantamount to digging one's own grave. ”Of course, he knew that the last time the grain army rushed to Tongcheng, it was attacked by the Jin army outside the city, and the blood marquis sent troops to rescue, but he fell into the trick of the other party, not only failed to keep the grain and grass, but also took the opportunity to capture Tongcheng, and lost his wife and soldiers.There are lessons from the past, and he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.What's more, this is not fishing for small fish and shrimp, but fishing for white dragons, which is by no means child's play.Chen Qingzhi's resourcefulness and strategy are far from being comparable to ordinary opponents.Take grain and grass as bait, and at the same time it is easy to see through this plan, if you take the opportunity to attack the city, I am afraid that the same tragedy will be staged again.If Lujiang City is compensated again, the Northern Tang Dynasty will be completely finished.Ren Zhen saw his timidity, and patiently explained: "To deal with Chen Qingzhi, naturally you can't take it lightly.Don't worry, the grain and grass I am talking about are not in Wuchao City.Even if it is compensated, the three armies will not run out of food, and there is nothing that cannot afford to lose. ”Xiahou Chun was stunned again.The grain and grass raised before the expedition were handled by him, and they were all transported into Wuchao City, which he knew very well.Where else can Ren Zhen get food, can it be a trick Ren Zhen looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he leaned over to Xiahou Chun's side and said in a low voice: "I will go to Qinghe County to raise grain, the Cui family must still have a lot of food hoarding."
This matter needs to be kept secret, but you might as well let the spies in the barracks know" He looked at Xiahou Chun seriously and did not continue.As long as you are not a fool, you can understand that if you can raise a large amount of grain from Qinghe, it will be a great supplement to the Tang army.On the way back from transporting grain, it was an excellent time for Ren Zhen to close the net.Ren Zhen didn't mention this matter to others, the more cautious he was to keep it secret, and the more it reached Chen Qingzhi's ears, the more true and credible the news became.Even if he suspects that there is fraud, he will not be able to suppress his resourcefulness, thinking that he has found a fighter plane and going to join in the fun.Lure the enemy deep into this clever plan, and it will be done.Who is better will know in the end.Xiahou Chun's expression changed slightly, he heard the hidden mystery in his words, narrowed his eyes, and asked: "Are you sure that Qinghe really has food, how do you know who is the spy in the military camp, and ensure that the news is delivered accurately" Ren Zhen straightened his waist and said with a smile: "These little things are all solved by me, and there is no need for the boss to bother personally." ”Xiahou Chun was full of doubts, "Then what do you need me to do" He realized that if Ren Zhen could really handle it by himself, there was no need to visit the door and share this great credit with others.It can be seen that Ren Zhen must have something to ask for.Sure enough, Ren Zhen said: "Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army is the elite of the elite, and it is not easy to eat it in one bite.Pull a hair and move the whole body, then the situation will be very chaotic, I need you to do it yourself. ”Xiahou Chun was silent for a long time before he made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "My handsome position is something you came forward to protect."
You are not afraid of losing, what else do I have to worry about, you tell me the location of the ambush, and I will lead troops to capture Chen Baipao" Ren Zhen is willing to use himself as bait, as the coach, he really can't be a shrinking turtle anymore, and it is rare to gamble.Ren Zhen shook his head, his expression solemn, "No, you still underestimate Chen Baipao too much."
It's not enough to rely on soldiers and horses all the way, it's time to sacrifice your handsome seal. ”:
