Chapter 1873: Breaking Yuyang and Capturing Li Guang (Part 1)

Li Gan is neither a balancing character nor a carrying character, but one of the hidden characters in the general profession among the special 100 summons.

Li Gan, as the third son of Li Guang, fought against the Huns many times and made many military exploits. He also accompanied Huo Qubing to conquer the Huns and captured King Zuoxian's drum flag.

Historically, it was a pity that Li Gan died. He did not die in battle, but died at the hands of Huo Qubing because he injured Wei Qing.

During the Battle of Mobei, Wei Qing formulated a strategy, but Li Guang failed to participate in the battle because he lost his way. He committed suicide in shame after returning home.

 Li Guang died of suicide due to self-blame. This had nothing to do with Wei Qing. However, Li Gan was so angry that he did not distinguish between right and wrong. He believed that Wei Qing's lack of consideration had killed Li Guang, so he got angry and injured Wei Qing.

 Assaulting Shangguan is a serious crime at any time. Wei Qing did not publicize the matter because of his past friendship with Li Guang, but was prepared to make it a minor matter. However, he could bear it, but his young and energetic nephew Huo Qubing could not.

After Huo Qubing learned about this, he was furious and shot Li Gan to death with a hidden arrow while hunting in Ganquan Palace.

In this way, Li Gan did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of his immediate superior. It must be said that it is a pity.

In this life, Li Gan is still Li Guang's son, but he is no longer Huo Qubing's subordinate.

After learning about the Qin army's movements, Li Gan knew that Yuyang was difficult to defend, so he immediately asked Li Guang for help.

Li Gan's flying pigeons were released just after sending the message, and the Qin army got the news. However, Su Dingfang did not speed up the march and continued to rush towards Yuyang City slowly and leisurely.

“General, if we continue at this speed, Li Guang will go back before we reach Yuyang City.” Sun Lingming said anxiously.

Su Dingfang smiled and replied: "General Sun, if you were Li Guang, once you learned that Yuyang City was destroyed, would you return to seize Yuyang City? Or would you abandon Yuyang, preserve your troops, and defend Guangyang? "

After thinking for a while, Sun Lingming replied: "Our army's strength far exceeds that of the Han army. Once Yuyang is captured, it will be impossible for Li Guang to recapture it. If it were Li Guang, he would probably give up Yuyang, retain his troops, and defend Guang." Positive."

Su Dingfang smiled: "If we march at full speed, we can indeed arrive before Li Guang and break Yuyang City, but we will also lose the chance to defeat Li Guang.

 But if the slow march made Li Guang realize that he could get back to Yuyang in time, he would return at full speed to rescue Yuyang City.

Li Guang marched in a hurry for several days, and the army was already exhausted. However, our army was waiting for work and could annihilate Li Guang's army in one fell swoop without any effort. "

"I see."

Sun Lingming did not expect that there was such a consideration in it. After hearing Su Dingfang's words, he suddenly showed a look of surprise and did not urge Su Dingfang to speed up the march.

“Yuyang City is far more important than the other three cities. After learning about the siege of Yuyang, Li Ling and Tian Yu will definitely come to the rescue with all their strength.”

Before Su Dingfang finished speaking, Yang Zhi suddenly flashed a light in his eyes and said excitedly: "Our army just set up an ambush and caught Li Lingtianyu by surprise halfway."

Su Dingfang shook his head and saw that all the generals looked puzzled, so he explained: "Li Lingtianyu is different from others. They are both brave and resourceful. They are not easily fooled by small tricks such as surrounding areas and calling for reinforcements." , if you set up an ambush, not only will you not be able to ambush them, you may even be ambushed by them."

“That kid Li Ling is very clever. It’s really not that easy to ambush him.”

Sun Lingming nodded in agreement. He had suffered losses at Li Ling's hands more than once, so he naturally understood how cautious Li Ling was. A normal ambush was useless.

“General, what should we do?” Yang Zhi asked.

“We won’t set up an ambush, we will only be stationed at the main road to cut off Li Lingtianyu’s return to Yuyang.”

After saying that, Su Dingfang looked at Yang Zhi, pointed to the road ahead, and said: "Yang Zhi, I have ordered you to lead five thousand soldiers to garrison this road. If Li Ling or Tian Yu invade alone, lead the army to defeat them directly. If they attack at the same time, just stick to this path and don't let them pass."

 “No.” Yang Zhi responded with his fists clasped. Su Dingfang opened the map, pointed to another road above, and said: "Besides this road, you can also get to Yuyang City by taking this road."

“General, I am willing to keep this path.”

The generals asked for orders one after another, and Su Dingfang shook his head again and said: "Our army not only wants to attack Yuyang, but also has a decisive battle with Li Guang. The troops should not be too scattered.

 Immediately sent an order to Ding Yanping of Lu County, ordering him to lead four thousand troops to garrison on this road. "

                                                      )

After Su Dingfang issued the order, the army marched no more than thirty miles when they received news that Li Ling and Tian Yu had abandoned the city and led all their troops to support Yuyang. All the generals, including Sun Lingming, were heartily convinced.

"General Su, you are really good at predicting things. I am completely convinced."

Hearing Sun Lingming's words, Su Dingfang laughed indifferently.

In his eyes, this is just a routine operation. Compared with Bai Qi and Li Jing's miraculous operations, the difference is clear at a glance, but in the eyes of Sun Lingming and others, it is too clever.

 “Send the order, march at full speed, and let Li Guang come back quickly.”

                                                      )

at the same time,

On the road leading to Guangyang County, Li Guang personally led 12,000 cavalry and was returning to Yuyang as quickly as possible.

Li Guang had just walked this road not long ago, but he didn't want to receive news that the main force of the Qin army had appeared in Yuyang before he arrived in Guangyang.

Like Li Gan, Li Guang didn't know that this was Su Dingfang's plan. He only thought that the news that he went to Guangyang first was leaked, which forced Su Dingfang to give up taking the trail.

 But Su Dingfang's "return" also caught Li Guang off guard, forcing him to return halfway.

"We must return to Yuyang City before the Qin army. Hurry up, and hurry up."

Li Guang roared and ordered, and according to the current marching speed, it would take less than a day to reach Yuyang City.

“General, the young general has sent a message via flying pigeon again. The Qin army has not arrived at Yuyang yet, and we should be able to catch up.” Xianyu Fuhui reported.

"good."

After hearing this, Li Guang was relieved, but he still didn't dare to be careless at all. Who knows if Su Dingfang set up an ambush?

"Instruct the whole army to carefully inspect the places they pass to prevent the Qin army from ambush."

                                                      )

Li Guang planned to set an ambush against Su Dingfang, but he didn't know that Su Dingfang had no intention of setting up an ambush. After all, how could an ambush be necessary to deal with a tired army?

 Forty miles…

 Thirty miles…

 Twenty miles…

 Li Guang was getting closer and closer to Yuyang City, but when he arrived ten miles outside the city and was about to return to the city, he found thousands of Qin troops blocking the way, and the leading general was Sun Lingming.

To make up for yesterday’s guarantee, I had something to do yesterday and I was running around for a long time. I fell asleep before finishing a chapter when I came back. I will update it today.
