Outside Chenliu City, there are continuous fortresses and flags like waves.
Yan Liang's army of more than 100,000 people built an arc-shaped defense line with Chenliucheng as the center. There were seven battalions along the periphery of the city. Long trenches were dug between each battalion to prevent the Yan army's cavalry from galloping and at the same time forming horns with each other. .
Just as Yan Liang expected, Zhang Fei's defeat and the loss of thousands of Yan troops were not enough to force Liu Bei to withdraw his troops.
Liu Bei, who suffered his first defeat, led a Yan army of more than 100,000 men and advanced southward from Junyi, forming a confrontation with Yan's army ten miles north of Chenliu City.
More than 200,000 troops from both sides formed a confrontation situation in the area less than seven miles north of Chenliu.
For seven consecutive days, Liu Bei stood still and did not quickly launch a mad attack on the Chu army's barrier as Yan Liang expected.
Contrary to Liu Bei's standstill, Cao Cao on the front line of Wuguan launched successive fierce attacks on Wuguan, as if he wanted to show Liu Bei the sincerity of his alliance.
There are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Wuguan, as well as two generals named Zhangja. With the danger of Xiongguan, they are enough to withstand Cao Cao's fierce attack. Yan Liang is not worried at all about the situation on the western front.
On the contrary, Liu Bei's silence gave Yan Liang a vague premonition of uneasiness.
The King of Chu conducts his accounts.
It was late at night, and under the flickering candlelight, Yan Liang was still studying military affairs at his desk.
Military strategist Pang Tong was meditating with his eyes closed, planning general Xu Shu. His eyes were also fixed on the map, with a speculative look on his brows.
"If Liu Bei doesn't move after pressing the button, there must be something fishy. You must figure it out for me, what is his plan." Yan Liang slammed the case and made it clear.
The figures of the two counselors were slightly shaken.
Soon, Xu Shu frowned even more tightly, but Pang Tong slowly opened his eyes.
Pang Tong stood up and walked a few steps to the case. He glanced at the map as if he had thought of something.
That look in Yan Liang's eyes made it clear that Pang Tong must have sensed Liu Bei's intention.
After a while, Pang Tonghua pulled the map and said: "Your Majesty, if my guess is correct, the reason why Liu Bei stood still on the Chenliu line is most likely because he wanted to divide his troops in Luoyang and detour to copy Xudu in order to attack our army's flank."
Divide troops into Luoyang and copy Xu Du!
These eight words flashed through Yan Liang's mind like lightning. His spirit suddenly became tense, and his sharp eyes quickly turned to the northwest of the map.
That¡¯s where Luoyang is.
Going south from Luoyang, passing through Taigu Pass, one of the eight passes, passing Yangren City and Liang City, you can go directly to Luyang City.
When the eighteen princes attacked Dong, Sun Jian took this route and defeated the Xiliang army in succession, and finally invaded Luoyang.
On the contrary, now Liu Bei's Yan army can naturally go against this route and capture Luyang from Luoyang.
Once the Yan army captured Luyang City, they could attack Ye County to the south and threaten Wancheng, but they could attack Xiangcheng to the east and copy Xu Du.
If Liu Bei really chooses to divide his troops in Luoyang, then this problem will be really difficult.
"Shi Yuan's speculation is not unreasonable. However, during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's troops were far superior to Cao Cao, but he did not dare to divide his troops. Today, Liu Bei's troops are only 20,000 to 30,000 more than ours. Does he dare to divide his troops? "
Xu Shu expressed doubts.
Yan Liang struck the imperial case with his fist and said flatly: "Liu Bei is not Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao doesn't dare. Liu Bei must dare. Yes, this big-eared thief definitely wants to divide his troops in Luoyang."
Yan Liangtai knew Liu Bei well and made a decisive conclusion.
"Well, in that case, without further delay, we should send troops immediately to increase the defense of Luyang." Xu Shu nodded.
Pang Tong followed: "Although Liu Bei divided his troops into Luoyang, he certainly did not dare to let go of Chen Liu's front line. It is expected that the troops he allocated to Luoyang would only be about 30,000 at most. Our army is mainly for defense. In this case, we only need to send 20,000." Just send troops and horses to reinforce Lu Yang."
"What Shi Yuan said is absolutely true, and I also agree to divide 20,000 troops to reinforce Lu Yang." Xu Shu agreed.
The two top counselors agreed, but Yan Liang fell silent at this time and did not agree to their proposal.
That blade-like gaze was fixed on the word "Luoyang" on the map. Something strange flashed in his eyes, as if something suddenly lit up in Yan Liang's mind.
After a long while, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Liang's mouth: "Twenty thousand is a bit too little, so why not send five?"?. "
Fifty thousand!
As soon as these words came out, Pang Tong and Xu Shu were shocked. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, after all, Luyang is just a partial army. Chenliu is the main battlefield after all. If we divide 50,000 troops to go to Luyang, then our Chenliu army will only have 70,000 left. To fight against Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of troops, it seems a little bit It¡¯s beyond my capabilities.¡± Xu Shu objected.
Pang Tong also nodded slightly, agreeing with Xu Shu's words.
At this time, Yan Liang disagreed and said: "Who stipulated that Chen Liu must be the main battlefield and Luyang must be the secondary battlefield."
Pang Tong and Xu Shu were startled again, and their suspicions could not help but grow stronger.
However, after all, the two of them are the top resourceful people in the world. They were only at a loss for a moment, and then they suddenly realized.
"Does your Majesty mean that in the name of dividing his troops to save Lu Yang, he can defeat the invading enemy with superior force and capture Luoyang in one fell swoop?" Pang Tong asked in amazement.
Yan Liang nodded slightly and smiled without saying a word.
After understanding Yan Liang's intention, the two counselors couldn't help but look surprised, as if they had suddenly become enlightened.
Xu Shu said excitedly: "If we can capture Luoyang, it will not only be a heavy blow to the morale of the Yan army, but also threaten Liu Bei's rear to the east. Then the initiative on the entire battlefield will be fully on our side. This is your plan." , It¡¯s really wonderful.¡±
Listening to Xu Shu's praise, Yan Liang was very indifferent and not too proud.
In fact, in terms of pure intelligence, Yan Liang may not be as good as Pang Tong and Xu Shu, but Yan Liang's advantage is that as a time traveler, he sometimes thinks more broadly, or in other words, is more "whimsical".
Just like the Battle of Guandu in history, Yan Liang once thought that Yuan Shao had superior military strength back then, so why bother to attack Cao Cao's carefully built Guandu defense line.
If Yuan Shao at that time could reverse the limitations of his thinking and aim to sweep away the Henan states and gradually encroach on Cao Cao's territory, instead of trying to accomplish all his achievements in one battle, then the ending of history may have been different.
Inspired by the Battle of Guandu, Yan Liang thought about why he had to send troops to Chenliu and have a meaningless stalemate with Liu Bei.
It was this openness of thinking that made Yan Liang think of another way to win.
After being inspired by Yan Liang, the two top counselors agreed with Yan Liang's strategy after careful weighing.
So, that night, Yan Liang sent 20,000 troops in the name of strengthening Luyang's defense, but actually sent 50,000 troops and rushed to Luyang at starry night.
Because this battle was of great importance, Yan Liang decided to lead the army in person, accompanied by Huang Zhong, Wen Chou, and Lu Lingqi.
As for the Chenliu camp, Yan Liang left Pang Tong and Xu Shu in charge of the military aircraft for the time being. The commander-in-chief Gan Ning, Pang De, Zhang Liao, and Ma Dai, under the banner of his king of Chu, would not fight no matter what.
¡¡
In the evening of two days, Yan Liang's army arrived at Luyang City.
But before Yan Liang's army entered the city, the scouts sent intelligence that tens of thousands of Yan troops had already moved south from Liang County, and the vanguard was less than twenty miles away from Luyang City.
At the top of the city, Yan Liang, who was standing with his hands behind his back, could not help but sneer at the corner of his mouth after hearing this information.
Pang Tong's prediction was indeed true. Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, indeed divided his forces to attack Luyang.
"How many enemy troops are there, and who is the leader?"
"Back to your Majesty, the enemy has about 25,000 infantry and more than 5,000 cavalry. The leading general is Zhang Fei, and the enemy generals accompanying the army are Taishi Ci and Zhang Yan."
Tai Shici, once the most powerful general in Jiangdong.
Zhang Yan, the former commander of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, was a powerful character who gave Yuan Shao a headache for many years.
Liu Bei sent such a powerful combination. It was obvious that he was determined to capture Luyang.
"What a pity, Liu Bei, you have Wolong, and I also have Fengxiao. Zhuge Liang's plan is not that simple to hide from Pang Tong."
Amidst the sneers, Yan Liang immediately ordered the entire army to rest for the night, and early tomorrow morning, they would give the invading Yan army a head-on attack.
¡¡
The dust and mist are billowing, and the armor is thick.
Thirty thousand Yan troops on foot and cavalry rushed south in a fierce manner, approaching Luyang City.
Zhang Fei, who was riding a horse and carrying a spear, had a ferocious face filled with the fire of impatient revenge.
"Tie Yan, I fell into your trap last time, causing our Yan army to lose in the first battle. Today, with Kong Ming's plan, I will seize Luyang, steal your retreat, and avenge the previous defeat." ¡±
The more Zhang Fei thought about it, the more excited he became, urging the army to move forward faster.
At this time, he wished he could spread his wings and fly to Luyang City, plant the Yan army's flag at the top of the city, and then imagine Yan Liang's panic expression when he heard that the rear had fallen.
Just when Zhang Fei was deep in thought, he saw Zhang Yan rushing towards from the front army. He shouted with a deep eyebrow: "General Yide, the scouts in front reported that the Chu army's reinforcements have arrived at Luyang City first."
"What!" Zhang Fei was shocked, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"The Chu army's reinforcements have arrived in Luyang City in advance, and there are at least tens of thousands of them." Zhang Yan repeated, and then worried: "General Yide, since the Chu army's reinforcements have arrived, it is obvious that Yan Thief has seen through the military advisor. According to Yan¡¯s plan, we should withdraw our troops and withdraw to Luoyang.¡±
From Chenliu to the west to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang to the south to here, we took a long detour and traveled hundreds of miles. Should we just withdraw our troops?
Could it be that the revenge of Yan Liang's defeat that day should not be avenged?
Zhang Fei, who was surprised, felt strongly unwilling to give up and let Yan Liang laugh again.
After frowning for a long time and gritting his teeth for a long time, Zhang Fei's murderous eyes suddenly burned like fire.
Looking from a distance, Zhang Fei said bitterly: "The main force of the Yan bandits is in Chenliu. Even if there are reinforcements in Luyang, I don't believe it. I have 30,000 infantry and cavalry troops, and I can't take down the city of Luyang." Keep moving forward for me, I will not give up until I defeat Lu Yang!" (To be continued.
