Chapter 719: Trouble 2

The performance of the generals in Lu Runxing's house could not help but sway in his heart. From the depths of his heart, he was unwilling to retreat to the south bank. His experience of serving in front of the army for many years told him that the two armies were fighting each other. In fact, the fight was just a word "force". Once the word "force" was gone, it would be difficult to retake it again, and it would often be a complete defeat. If the emperor of Liang retreated without fighting, he would be afraid that he would have been afraid before he could defeat the soldiers under his command.

If you have a fight, you will not be able to fight this battle. But if you face it, with the disparity between the crowds, this is the first time I have commanded such a large army battle. Is it possible to resist this army that is swaying? Thinking of this, Lu Run looked up at the two sides instinctively, and saw dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him with bright eyes, full of expectation, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of silence in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "It's getting late today, and this matter is of great importance. Let's discuss it tomorrow!"

Seeing this, although the generals had their own thoughts, they had to say respectfully together: "Here!"

Late at night, Lu Runxing sat in front of the desk and looked at the map in front of him. The map marked the direction of Liang and Wu Liangjun with red and black chess pieces. Lu Runxing's fingers gently tapped the copywriting. He had been in front of the copywriting for more than half an hour. He was already a little drowsy. He seemed to feel that he was in the battlefield, surrounded by enemy troops. No matter how hard he fought, he could still be unable to break through the siege, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him. In the end, he was the only one left, the enemy among the enemy.

The military leader was dressed in gorgeous armor, as if he was looking at himself, pointing his finger at himself, as if he was ridiculing himself with his subordinates. Lu Runxing was angry and angry at this time, and shouted loudly and wanted to go forward to death, but he felt that his body was weak and fell off the horse. He woke up. It turned out that it was just a dream of Nan Ke. Lu Runxing was about to clean up several maps that had been messed up by him just now, but when he heard the quarrels outside the courtyard, he couldn't help but curious, "It's so late, who else can come here?"

"Who is the noise outside?" Lu Runxing tidied up his clothes, stood up and asked outside. The sound from outside paused for a moment, and a thick voice replied: "I want to report to the general manager if you have something important to you. I hope to forgive me if you are disturbed."

Lu Runxing frowned, Li Fumin's voice brought memories. He immediately remembered the cavalry general who made military achievements in the battle of Manshui. He also gave him a pair of armor. This person was so late and he would have to see him do something. Could it be that there is anything important? Lu Runxing thought for a moment and ordered: "Forget it, let him come in!"

After a while, Li Fumin walked closer to the house and bowed to Lu Runxing. Lu Runxing looked up and down, but saw that Li Fumin was just wearing a short shirt and was tied with a belt around his waist. Obviously, this person was also in a hurry. Lu Runxing smiled, pointed to Hu Shui, who was beside him, and said, "In the private room, Li Zheng no longer needs to be polite, and it is easy to sit down and talk!"

"The general thanked the general!" Li Fumin was not humble and sat on the Hu bed, and said straight to the point: "The general will dare to disturb him tonight, just for one thing: the army must not retreat south of the Han River!"

When Lu Runxing heard this, he was stunned and asked Surong: "You came late at night for this matter. You also participated in the military discussion during the day, why didn't you say that at that time?"

"Please forgive me for my crime. The villain is humble and has a low position. How can I dare to speak in the military discussion!" Li Fumin bowed and said in a deep voice: "It's just that there are three harms in the south. There are three benefits to defending Fancheng. The last one will dare to speak with the general manager!"

When Lu Runxing heard Li Fumin say "three harms and three benefits", he couldn't help but feel interested and smiled and said, "Well, if what you said is reasonable, this general manager will forgive you for trespassing into the shogunate tonight!"

Li Fumin kowtowed and replied, "If what the last general said is somewhat reasonable, I dare not ask for forgiveness of the crime of trespassing into the shogunate, but I only ask for the crime of serving in front of Governor Lu!"

Lu Runxing didn't really want to punish Lu Hongkai for his crimes. When he heard Li Fumin's request, he made a favor and said, "Oh? The kindness of knowing the favor? Okay, if you said it right, I will be exempted from the crime of serving in front of the front governor. Say it!"

Li Fumin kowtowed and stood up and replied, "General Manager, Xiangzhou City is surrounded by water on three sides and backing the mountains on one side. Although our army's firearms are sharp, it is still difficult to break the city if we are anxious. The military strategy says, 'Attack the city is the best, and the attacking heart is the best." The reason why the bandits in the city resisted was just to expect reinforcements to arrive. Now that Liang bandits are coming, if they can defeat them, not only Xiangzhou can go down without fighting, Deng, Ru, and Cai are just making an edict. Isn't this a great advantage not to cross the river?"

Lu Runxing nodded slightly: "This is one, what about the second one?"

"Secondly, if I station troops in the north of Han River, connected by boat bridges and separated by Han River, I can separate the connection between the defenders and reinforcements of Xiangcheng. Moreover, my navy can be protected by boat bridges. If it is beneficial, advance, and if it is unfavorable, retreat. If there is victory or defeat, the Lu Army can have Fancheng to defend, and I will be the main one, and he will be the guest. I use the Han River to transport grain, without any worries about shortage of food, so I can wait for a long time. If it comes to an empty country, the profit will be in quick battle. If there are strong enemies on the river, it will cause disaster. If it is retreating to the south of Han, the bridge will be lost. The gangs of Liang and the thieves can give the boat troops food to the Xiangcheng army, and at the same time attack my food route with a speeding ship. In this way, the situation of the host and the guest will change greatly, which will be very unfavorable to me."

When Lu Runxing heard this, his face gradually changed. As Li Fumin said just now, the Wu army occupied Fancheng and connected the two sides of the Han River with the boat bridge, which not only allowed him to echo north and south, but also cut off the waterway between Xiangzhou City and the outside world. In this case, the Xiangcheng defenders, who lacked food, were unable to launch a large-scale siege breaking battle. More importantly, due to the existence of the boat bridge, the Liang State navy upstream of the Han River could not attack the Wu army fleet that came against the current. In this way, as long as the Wu army could ensure that the several main strongholds on the Han River from Xiakou to Xiangyang, even if there was some instability in the rear, they could still ensure the unobstructed food channels. On the other hand, the Liang army was under its logistics.

The base is far away in Luoyang. Although it can also be transported through the Sanya Road and then transported by the Baihe River, the water volume and carrying capacity of the river are far from comparable to the Han River, and cannot meet the consumption of the army. In this case, it is difficult for the Liang army to consume the Wu army in a stalemate battle. But if the Wu army abandons Fancheng on the north bank and retreats to the south bank, the boat bridge will naturally be gone. Although the Wu army still has the advantage of the navy, it is impossible to completely control the Han River. The Liang army can still transport a certain number of reinforcements and grain into Xiangzhou City. In this way, Xiangzhou City will transform from a surrounded stronghold into a base for launching an attack, and the situation of the Wu army will change to extremely bad.

"What about the third one?" Hearing this, Lu Runxing had already made up his mind. The remaining questions were more to be able to see how capable the man in front of him was. For Lu Runxing, getting such a talent might be the biggest gain of the Western Expedition tonight.

"General Manager, our army is invincible this time, but most of the counties along the way are just hypocrites. They are just thinking of watching success or failure and choosing the winner. The emperor personally fought and raised a army that was scattered to the country. If I retreated to the south of Han, I am afraid that there will be many people in the counties in the rear who will respond soon. At that time, there were strong enemies in front of me and beacons behind me. Although there were dangers in the Han River, it lasted for hundreds of miles. Although my soldiers were numerous, how could I set up defenses everywhere? If it was as the governor of Zhou said, I was afraid that few of us would survive Xiakou!"

When Lu Runxing heard this, he stood up and laughed loudly, "What Wan Shi said is exactly my wish. If we are united, we will definitely be able to defeat the thief. At that time, I will definitely write a letter to my father and praise you for your contribution." Speaking of this, Lu Runxing hit the high fives and called the servants, whispered a few instructions, stepped forward and sat down on his bed with Li Yimin, and said, "Although it is as Wan Shi said, I am a small number of people after all. I want to send an envoy back to Jianye and ask my father for reinforcements to defeat the thief. This matter is of great importance. Are you willing to go on this trip for me?"

Li Yimin was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that Lu Runling would definitely recommend him to the King of Wu in the letter. He hurriedly bowed: "I will be misloved by the prince, even if I am tragic, I will not be able to repay you." As he spoke, his voice trembled.

At this time, a maid outside had already brought fine wine. Lu Runxing helped Li Yimin up, filled a glass of wine and handed it to the other party, and smiled and said, "This Western Expedition, I don't like Jiangling and encircling Xiangcheng, but I am happy to be such a talent as Wanshi. If you do your best, you will have your place in the three yamen in the future." The "three yamen" mentioned by Lu Runxing is the Hall Front Office, the Guards' Personal Army's Cavalry and the Guards' Personal Army's Infantry Department, and the Guards' Personal Army's Infantry Department, the new army in the Wu army is subordinate to these "three yamen". It is already the ultimate military man of the Wu army. As the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, Lu Runxing made such a promise, and the weight of his weight can be seen. Li Yimin heard it in his ears, and was even more grateful and deeply grateful for his choice to visit tonight.

At this point, Lu Runxing immediately called the emperor to the emperor, wrote a letter, and asked Li Yimin to take the Han River down the fast ship. The next day, Lu Runxing summoned the generals and immediately issued an order: he decided to defend Fancheng, strengthen the patrol of the boat bridge and the navy, and prepare to fight to the death with the Liang army.

Weizhou, Yewang Palace, the palace gate was closed, and there was a solemn scene outside the palace gate. Thousands of soldiers were lined up in black clothes and black armor. Although the snow in the sky fell like goose feathers, it was like a snowman. After a while, no one dared to move and brushed off the snow on their bodies, as if countless very finely made mud figurines were waiting for something to happen.

Suddenly, with a rumbling sound, the heavy palace gate was slowly pushed open, and a group of people gradually walked out of the door. The leader was just a half-year-old child in mourning clothes, but Li Cunxu's legitimate son, Li Jiji, King of Wei. After that, a large cart dragged by six pairs of white horses, and a huge black coffin was placed on the carriage. On both sides of the carriage were famous ministers and generals under King Li Cunxu, and the first person in the right was Li Siyuan.
