Chapter 1578: Defeat them one by one
Chapter 1578 Defeat each one one by one
Chapter 1576: Defeat one by one
Both Wang Mang and Gongsun Shu were forces dependent on the Northern Han Dynasty and had independent power and etiquette, so they could not obey Liu Che's orders.
But this time it was different. Liu Che used a conspiracy, and Wang Mang simply could not refuse the order to attack Beihai.
As for Gongsun Shu, after receiving Wang Mang’s order and Wang Mang’s handwritten letter, which was 3,000 words long, Gongsun Shu really thought about it all night, and finally decided to go south to Qingzhou with Wang Mang.
Of course Gongsun Shu doesn't want to go, but the situation is stronger than the people. If he doesn't go, he will be completely isolated, and the final outcome will definitely not be good.
Although Gongsun Shu decided to lead an army of 30,000 to fight, the control of the 20,000 troops left behind was not given to the generals Wang Mang left to help him, but to his own confidants. This clearly shows that he was not Everyone listens to Wang Mang's stupid criticism.
After Wang Mang learned this, he was a little angry, but he had nothing to do. Now he could only use his strength to fight, and Liu Che could not borrow his strength for the time being. If he squeezed Gongsun Shu, he would only force him to Liu Che. Go over there.
“My lord, Li Jing’s performance in the battle at Hetao was perfect, which shows that this person is not simple.”
Chen Qingzhi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Only relying on Gongsun Shu's 30,000 Liao army and Song Jiang's 30,000 Liang army may not be able to completely wipe out Li Jing."
Of course Wang Mang knew how powerful Li Jing and Pharmacist Li were.
Beihai originally had 38,000 troops. After Liangshan split, Chao Gai ordered 5,000 defeated troops to join him. Now Li Jing has 43,000 troops.
If you want to rely on 60,000 soldiers and horses to capture the Beihai Navy, which has 43,000 defenders, the famous commander Li Jing, and many famous generals such as Ran Min, Jin Tian, Tai Shici, etc., the possibility of success is naturally low. Be careful and you may even be defeated by Li Jing.
“Don’t worry, in addition to Gongsun Shu’s thirty thousand troops and horses, our five thousand troops will also go to Qingzhou this time.” Wang Mang explained.
Wang Mang hid in the mountains, recruiting the remnants of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. He had been recharging his strength and recruiting troops for so many years. How could he not have any troops at his disposal? He also has five thousand elites who have always been part of his direct lineage.
“Even so, I’m afraid it’s still not enough. After all, Beihai City’s defense power cannot be ignored.” Chen Baxian said.
Wang Mang smiled calmly and continued: "Liu Che also sent Zhou Yafu and Xun Shen with 5,000 light cavalry to help me. In addition, Song Jiang has also urgently expanded his army by 10,000, so the total force mobilized for this trip is actually 80,000. Instead of sixty thousand.”
“Eighty thousand?”
Chen Qingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up. After a moment of reflection, he said: "We have an army of 80,000 in our hands. If we operate it properly, we have a 60% chance of defeating Li Jing."
Wang Mang smiled mysteriously and said, "What if Zhu Tianpeng is added?"
“What? Qi will also be involved?”
Chen Qingzhi was suddenly shocked. He knew that Wang Mang failed to persuade Zhu Tianpeng when he went to Qi last time. Why did Qi suddenly join the war again?
"I don't know about this either. Liu Che probably contacted Zhu Tianpeng again later and promised him other benefits." Wang Mang sighed.
After learning about this, Wang Mang was extremely shocked. Liu Che didn't even mention such important matters to him, so he was obviously wary of him.
Unconsciously, Liu Che was already so wary of him. This made Wang Mang realize that he had underestimated Liu Che, and at the same time, he also felt that the situation was gradually getting out of his control.
If this situation continues, even if Qin Hao is defeated in the end, the person who benefits the most will not be Wang Mang, but Liu Che.
Wang Mang was also a little anxious about this, but he was really helpless. The most annoying thing was that Liu Che, the Han Emperor, was the one who supported the throne of the Han Dynasty with his own hands.
Wang Mang once again experienced the feeling of shooting oneself in the foot. ————————
Qingzhou, Beihai County.
Late at night, several white pigeons flew into the city, but they were all recovered by the Qin army's spies, and all the letters were delivered to Li Jing.
Li Jing, who was still dealing with official business, saw that important military information was coming. He immediately opened it and read it, only to find that the contents on the letterhead were the same.
I saw several letters written on it: danger, danger, danger. Zhu Tianpeng, Song Jiang, Wang Mang, and Gongsun Shu will join forces to attack Beihai.
"What?"
Seeing this, Li Jing stood up in shock. After hesitating on the spot for a long time, he summoned all the generals overnight to discuss the military situation.
Ran Min, Jin Tai, Tai Shi Ci, Qin Ming, Lin Chong, Chao Gai and other generals were also extremely surprised when they learned about it. Only Fu Nian frowned and asked: "Master Taishou, where did this news come from? Can you confirm whether it is true or false?" "
When Fusu heard this, he also showed doubts. After all, the four forces suddenly joined forces without any warning. This was really strange.
“It came from Heibingtai, and it came from Qi State. It absolutely cannot be false news.” Li Jing said solemnly.
Hearing this, both Fusu and Fu Nian's faces darkened, knowing that the news must be true. A war was inevitable, but the generals were vaguely looking forward to it.
"Master Taishou, Wang Mang, Gongsun Shu, and Song Jiang alone have dispatched up to 80,000 troops. Zhu Tianpeng doesn't know how many troops he will dispatch. We are now surrounded by enemies on all sides. This battle is not optimistic." Fu Fu. Nian said with a serious face.
"I'm afraid of birds. The soldiers will come to block the water and cover up the soil. If you want to seize the North Sea, you have to see if I can answer the question with my mace." Qin Ming shouted.
"Yes, General Qin is right. Although the enemy army is numerous, our army is not a vegetarian. Moreover, Beihai City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army concentrates on defense, even if a hundred thousand troops attack, our army will still be able to attack. You can hold it." Tai Shici agreed.
"I'm afraid that there will be more than 100,000 enemies." Li Jing said in a deep voice.
In fact, Li Jing had roughly guessed the reason why Zhu Tianpeng and the Northern Han Dynasty joined forces. It was just to see which Qin army still had the upper hand on the Jizhou battlefield. In order to balance the overall situation, he decided to help the Northern Han Dynasty eliminate the Qin army's only force in Qingzhou. ,North Sea.
Beihai was a nail that the Qin army drove to Qingzhou. As long as this nail was still stuck in the throat of the Northern Han Dynasty, and every bit of it was erased, not only could Zhu Tianpeng feel at ease, but the Northern Han Dynasty could also further liberate its troops. For Zhu Tianpeng, everything is a good thing with no harm at all.
Li Jing knew that Zhu Tianpeng had probably made up his mind, so there were definitely not a few enemies coming from Qi this time, which also made Li Jing feel a little uneasy.
Under the careful training of Li Jing and Ran Min, the Beihai Navy has long been reborn, and its combat strength is not lower than that of the Qin Army. However, the total strength is only more than 40,000, and it is really difficult to fight against the forces of the four parties.
“Passive defense will only result in loss of living space.”
Li Jingnu slammed the table, then stood up and said in a deep voice: "Before the enemy troops have gathered together, I decided to strike first and defeat the enemy troops one by one."
Second update, to make up for the guarantee that was missing yesterday...
