Chapter 257: Scattered Breakthrough
After returning to the camp, Liu Bang looked depressed.
Frankly speaking, he did not want the King of Liao conferred by the King of Chu.
Moreover, the position was determined directly for him.
Although this position can be advanced, retreated or defended, there are Yan State, Qi State and Chen Yu's Dai State in front of him to block him.
But he didn't quite like it here.
Remoteness is just one of them. This place has been plundered by northern nomads all year round.
I don’t know whether the land is barren or not, but there are really few people.
Anyone who still has some pursuits and extravagant hopes has basically moved south.
Otherwise, who knows when the nomads from the north will come again.
It doesn’t matter if we do it again, people can freeze to death in winter.
Of course, it’s useless to think too much.
After returning to the camp, Liu Bang gathered everyone together, including Lu Jia and Sui He, who had been hated for persuading him to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
When everyone came together, Liu Bang didn't need to say anything and said directly: "Today the King of Chu conferred on me the title of King of Liao. Several others have also conferred the title of king. They have a deadline of five days to leave Pengcheng and each find a way to go to their own fiefdoms. Do you have any opinions?
"
Liu Bang's words made everyone feel sad and happy instantly.
Some were excited because their eldest brother was finally crowned king, although the situation was a bit bad.
The sad face was because he thought of more possibilities.
"Wu Xinjun's move may bring disaster to others!" Lu Jia said with a frown.
"Hmm! I also guessed that every day, the cages surrounded by the Han army would be tightened, and by spreading us out, we could attract some of the main force of the Han army to encircle us. In this way, the Han troops encountered by each department would
The number of the main force of the army will be reduced a lot, which is probably a solution." Liu Bang nodded directly and said.
Although he didn't say it directly, he was telling everyone.
I can see what they mean, and time is limited, so there is no need for everyone to say those useless words.
I called you here today not to announce the news, but to ask you to think of a way to successfully break out.
If he couldn't even get out of the encirclement of the Han army, how could he be the King of Liao?
As for whether the King of Liao is in Liao or not, we will talk about it later.
"If we want to break out of the encirclement, we must avoid the main force of the Han army and the Han army's scouts, otherwise it will be very difficult. We may not even have a few people left after we reach the place!" Lu Jia said with a frown.
This is an obvious problem.
Now, no matter which Chu army it is, whether it is alone or in a group.
Encountering the main force of the Han army, the only option was to take a detour.
When a large corps makes a surprise attack, it doesn't mean that we just run away with our heads down.
The size of the army is too large, and it is impossible to escape at all if you keep your head down.
The only way is to fight the enemy head-on first, see if you can find a weak breakthrough, open it, and escape quickly.
So, this is a very tangled issue and must be circumvented, otherwise you will not be able to defeat it.
But the force is too large to be bypassed.
Because neither the enemy nor we are fools, the Han army can see your every move and will make changes according to your changes.
And you can also see signs of the Han army's large-scale troop mobilization.
This does not require any superb reconnaissance skills. Find a high place and stand there. If the weather is good, you can see it from more than ten miles away.
This is also the place where the scouts from both sides are most likely to fight.
Therefore, it would be a fantasy for Liu Bang to lead a large army to break through.
Even small-scale breakthroughs are not without difficulty.
There are ubiquitous Han army scouts, but now they don't know if there are any in the north.
After thinking clearly about the crux of the problem, Lu Jia said directly: "My lord, it is obviously impossible to leave with a large number of troops. Although the Han army in the north is Wang Li, the powerful scout system of the Han army has probably completed it.
Docking, so as long as we make some adjustments, Wang Li will definitely respond."
Liu Bang nodded in approval.
Although Wang Li surrendered to Han, this did not make anyone think that he could not fight.
After all, his ancestors had been generals for several generations, and after switching to the Han Dynasty, the original Qin army instantly took on a new look, with high morale. They attacked dozens of cities, showing that they were even more brave than his grandfather and father.
.
Under Wang Li's command, the army was divided into separate groups, but there was no chaos at all. The style of a famous general had already been demonstrated.
Therefore, Liu Bang would not place his hopes on Wang Li's crime.
Lu Jia continued: "Even a small-scale raid must focus on speed. Now we don't have any advantage, and we don't know how many scouts the Han army has and where they are. And the terrifying guerrilla generals
, let alone where it is, we can only escape from the encirclement smoothly by using a small number of people to hide and using speed to avoid the pursuit of the guerrilla generals."
"If only a few dozen people go to Liaodi, then what's the future?" Liu Bang frowned tightly, although he also felt that this was the case.
But this very real problem was placed in front of him, and he had to think about it in advance.
You can't wait until there are really only a few dozen people left to consider the follow-up issues, right?
"There may not be dozens of people, I think there will be almost a thousand people. When we get to Yanqi, my lord can borrow troops from them to go north!" Sui He followed closely.
It is normal to borrow troops these days. As for whether King Yan or King Qi will agree to lend them troops.
Neither Suihe nor Lu Jia seemed to find this difficult. Both of them had great experience in doing this kind of thing.
"Tell me your method!" Liu Bang suddenly became interested.
If you can bring more than a thousand elites there, even though your strength is still very small, you can't be considered a weakling at the mercy of others.
These people have the strength to capture a city, but how can the army over there compare with their battle-hardened troops?
To put it bluntly, Liu Bang even dared to guarantee that if he could really bring a thousand elite troops there.
Then your situation will be just like the Han army's treatment of the current Chu army, and you will be the "Han army" in Liao.
"It's very simple. Use the army as bait and send a general to go north in the name of the lord, while the others will take a group or a hundred, each with three horses, and disperse north. Even if there are losses along the way, the entire army will not be wiped out.
!" Sui He said.
Liu Bang frowned, this method...
So vicious.
But if I think about it carefully, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
The hearts of his subordinates no longer belong to him, so why should he care about them at this time?
As far as I am concerned, these people cannot be taken away anyway, so why can’t I ‘help’ myself one last time?
"Good! But what about the people who stay?" Liu Bang then asked.
Chapter completed!
