Chapter 762 Liang Guo's Predicament

Li Jing commanded 30,000 troops and horses, unexpectedly, the formation was changing, the use of strange troops, and with the sharp weapon of black gunpowder, he captured the city and captured the village, and his momentum was like a bamboo shoot.

Several cities in Honghua County were seized one after another, and Li Jing left only one thousand men to guard each city, and 30,000 troops continued to march towards Yan'an County.

Although it was a self-deep fighting style, Li Jing's mastery of marching, supply, formation, terrain, and time was in a state of slight importance. He would not be controlled by others. Instead, he would use various conditions to meet the needs of the army and defeat tens of thousands of Xiliang local garrison troops and arrive at the border of Yan'an County.

The capital of Liang State was temporarily moved to Feishi City in Yan'an County, which was separated from the border of this county by a small city.

Li Jing deliberately released the news to attack Yincheng, and then marched straight in, taking advantage of the expedition of Liang's army, and the rear was empty and destroyed.

He set up multiple ambushes on the border, trying to attack the Liang army that came to block the attack, and intimidate the Liang Dynasty's emperor Liang Shidu.

Although there were only 30,000 troops, which was not enough to break through the capital of Liang, he bluffed and claimed to lead 60,000 troops, which was more than the 50,000 guards of Liang's army. When the news came out, the capital of Liang's State immediately became the capital of Liang, with all the plants and trees, and people's hearts were disordered.

At this time, the city's intelligence personnel began to spread news that the three-party allies had suffered frequent defeats and had cut in half. The news that they were about to be defeated by Dahua spread one after another, and it was unstoppable.

"Have you heard that the Turks lost half of their troops, and the same was true for Liang and Tang troops. They did not break through Dahua's defense line at all, but instead had a tendency to collapse."

"You said it's great to rely on Dahua. We ordinary people can have a good life. But they cooperate with the Turks. They are all ambitions. They come in to ravage the Central Plains. Dahua cannot be defeated by the three-party allied forces."

"Now Dahua's elite soldiers are already at the city, and it won't take long to attack Liangdu."

A guard walked to the long street and shouted loudly: "Those who randomly speculate on military information and criticize themselves will be arrested!"

The Liang court began to order the people in Yanjin City to discuss military information and promote the news of the failure of the front line.

However, the more you suppress public opinion in this way, the opposite effect will have, giving the people a feeling that the court is helpless and deliberately concealed.

Liang Shidu summoned several ministers and generals to discuss matters in the palace.

"There is indeed an emergency military information from the front line. 40% of the Turkic cavalry were cut off by Dahua on the first day, causing a heavy blow to the Turks and hit the morale of the Allied forces. After several fierce battles, there are huge casualties every day, but the defense line of Dahua has not been broken. The military camp earthen city was just a temporary sand, gravel, earth wall barrier, which was not as strong as the conventional city. However, it made 200,000 Allied troops unable to advance or retreat. Dahua was indeed strong." Liang Shi sighed, feeling that the situation was a bit difficult to get off.

Shangshu Lu Ji said: "Your Majesty, at present, our Liang State has no way to turn back. We can only continue to be firm, because we regret it at this time. Even if we withdraw our troops and offend the Turks and Tang State, Dahua will not be grateful. After Dahua defeats the Tang and Turks, and stabilizes Guanzhong, we will definitely gather heavy troops to deal with Liang State. Therefore, we can only bite the bullet and fight with Dahua to the end."

Liu Lan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, said: "According to the information, Li Jing of Dahua secretly transferred back from the northwest and led his troops to quickly occupy the two counties of Anding and Honghua, approaching Yan'an County. He had to be guarded against, otherwise people would be in chaos and would easily be besieged and would have great troubles."

General Liu Min said: "This is Dahuashi's plan to siege Wei and save Zhao. When Wei's general Pang Juan attacked Zhao, the latter asked for help from Qi, so the King of Qi sent Sun Bin to lead the army to rescue him. However, Sun Bin did not directly rescue Zhao, but took the opportunity to attack the capital of Wei Daliang, forcing the King of Wei to withdraw Pang Juan. As a result, Sun Bin's ambush in the middle of the journey, Qi defeated the Wei army in the battle of Guiling. This time, Li Jing also wanted to follow Sun Bin and attack our capital of Liang, causing the Liang army to withdraw, and thus be ambushed."

After hearing this, Liang Shi fell into deep thought. Liu Min knew the art of war, so the advice he made was worthy of his attention.

Lu Ji said: "However, Li Jing leads his troops to be fair. Once he takes down Yin City, his next goal is Fei Shi City. If we are indifferent and Dahua's army is at the city, it will be dangerous and we cannot be careless. The King of Wei must have known Sun Bin's strategy back then, but he had to withdraw the front line of the Wei army to protect himself, because no one is sure whether Sun Bin really wants to conquer Daliang. The same is true today. If we do not prepare for withdrawing troops, how can we deal with the elite soldiers of Li Jing?

Liang Shidu hesitated and said, "What the Qing family said makes sense. At present, they can only mobilize nearby troops to compete with Li Jing head-on, block Li Jing from attacking the capital, and gain time for the front line. If they cannot resist Li Jing's troops, then my capital will move northward, return to Shuofang, and lead Li Jing northward. The tens of thousands of Dahua soldiers and horses cannot destroy our Liang Kingdom, but the troops on the front line should not be mobilized as much as possible. Unless the Allied forces are defeated again and are on the dead end, consider withdrawing the troops, and then far away from Dahua, leaving Shuofang, and not confronting Dahua again, and beside the Turks, I believe that in a short time, Dahua will be determined to fight against the Turks in the Central Plains and will not use troops to the northern Turks, and our Liang Kingdom will always be safe."

After hearing this arrangement by Master Liang, several ministers nodded one after another, which was a comprehensive and safe view.

………

In the battle between Luoyang, Wang Shichong defeated the Wagang army, launched a palace revolution, controlled the Chaogang, and imprisoned Yang Tong, and spread the news that the world was in an uproar.

All forces in the Central Plains, such as Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Xiao Xian, Zhu Can, Yang Shilin, Meng Haigong, Xu Yuanlang, Lu Zushang, Zhou Faming and other forces, were all shocked.

Because Li Mi had the highest voices before, the Wagang Army had 300,000 strong soldiers and horses, and was full of powerful generals, which was also the most powerful force.

However, when he used troops in Luoyang, he suffered consecutive damage and was blocked by Wang Shichong, a slander of the Sui Dynasty, and lost his value. At this time, he was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Many generals were captured alive and destroyed by a large army of 100,000. He only brought the remaining soldiers to Hulao Pass and returned to Xingyang.

In this way, Wang Shichong's Zheng State was established, with tigers lying in Luoyang, and it was as high as the sky, becoming the new great princes in the Central Plains!
