Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1965: Lord of Strength, Battle of Song Cang

"War King..."

"The War King...collapsed..."

An unwilling and unconfident voice sounded, followed by a series of wailing sounds.

"Brother Gu Yuan..."

Zhu Yuanzhang, Han Chen and others also began to wail at this time.

However, how much truth there is in their wailing is a question that only they themselves can ask.

Jiang Zhong, Tian Zaibiao and the remaining few people simply lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

Now, they no longer have the strength to fight. It is very likely that any random soldier will be able to harvest their lives.

At the same time, they were also terrified. If the target of that last attack was not Gu Yuan, but them, they would have died.

However, it is fortunate that there is Gu Yuan between them!

Pairs of soldiers armed with sharp blades rushed forward immediately and protected Jiang Zhong and his companions who had no ability to protect themselves.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his men did not forget that there were still hundreds of remaining Southern Army troops behind them.

However, compared with the hundreds of Southern Army soldiers who were still standing on their horses and refusing to fall down, they were no longer that important.

After killing Ye Changqing, the remaining remnants of the defeated army were nothing to worry about.

However, in order to kill Ye Changqing, the price paid by the anti-king forces was not small!

In total, almost ten generals were killed, and these people were all famous and powerful generals under the rebel kings, and each of them was a brave and good fighter.

Plus a rebel king Gu Yuan!
Today, although the Great Wu is about to perish, of the eighteen rebel kings and sixty-four rebel groups, only the last four are left.

"Clap clap clap..."

Along with a thunderclap, a drop of rain fell on the back of everyone's hands. In an instant, the originally cloudless sky suddenly became thunderous and lightning, and a heavy rain poured down.

In this scene, it seemed as if God was seeing off those who died in the battle!

"The God of Strength Ye Changqing died in battle, and Zhuge Kunlong's divine power skills are being upgraded..."

"The Dragon Observation Divine Power skill is in the process of being upgraded and will soon become a true divine skill..."

"Ding, Wang Ba Li Ba's skill is being upgraded and will soon become a true divine skill..."

"Ding, Hercules's power..."

"Ding, Typhon's power..."

Everyone, everyone who had that kind of mysterious feeling, started their final sprint at this time.

"Pity!"

Wang Yu came to the outside of Zhuge Kunlong's tent and couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he realized that Zhuge Kunlong's momentum had declined.

Obviously, Zhuge Kunlong did not grab the position of true god.

Although there is another Big Mac and Alcyoneus, the chances of these two people are smaller than Zhuge Kunlong. If even Zhuge Kunlong can't grab it, then the two of them will be in trouble.

Although I feel regretful, there is nothing I can do about it!

But I don’t know who the new true God will be!

It seems that he needs to pay more attention to the Dragon and Tiger Ranking and the Four Directions Evil Ranking in the near future.

If during this period of time, someone's name rises unreasonably, then he is most likely the current true general.

"Not long ago, Meng Tian conquered Qingbei and destroyed Dongcang!"

"Although it is slightly different from our original plan, now that Qingbei has been conquered, everything is a foregone conclusion! Xuanyuan Huang has entered the battlefield ahead of time, and Dongcang still has remnants that have not been eliminated. What do you think we should do?" After the matter of the True God General came to an end, Wang Yu called all his generals and counselors over and asked.

In any case, Han Xin's actions did disrupt their original plan.

According to what he and several advisers had discussed at the beginning, all of Han Xin's military forces should be deployed in Guangyin at this time, and Dongcang would be a matter for later.

They focused all their main forces on Zhongcang and ignored Dongcang and the others. No matter whether it was Dongcang or Dayan, they might be alert and on guard, but they would definitely not show up so quickly.

In the early stages, these two companies can only watch the fire from the other side of the river!
Just like Xi Cang now, although they are wary of Xue Rengui's troops, they will not give up easily.

The relationships between these companies have already determined this.

"Your Majesty, the matter between Dongcang and Dayan is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed!"

"Then, next, we should focus on Xicang and Zhao Song!" Zhang Liang said thoughtfully.

"When Zhao Kuangyin was in office, his residence was attacked and his mother Xuan Jinyan was killed on the spot!"

"And Huang Ying of the Huangfu family is slaughtering people in the city without any concealment!"

"Just for this matter, Zhao Song will never help Cang. At least, they won't help Cang openly!"

"Is everything we think of possible to make Zhao Song and Xicang enemies?" Wang Yu responded directly.

If Zhao Song and Xi Cang could be made enemies, then the power of Xue Rengui's army could be freed up and they would not have to stay in Hedong Road to intimidate the Xi Cang court. Whether they were deployed to their main battlefield or to Han Xin, it would be of great benefit to the next war.

As for the fact that Zhao Song would send troops to help Zhong Cang, neither Wang Yu nor the ministers had ever worried about this.

Just the fact that it happened on the day when Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne was enough to make it impossible for this event to happen.

His mother died at the hands of the Cang people. If Zhao Kuangyin had helped the Cang family, he would have been able to carry the big pot in an instant.

Although this matter was also related to Wang Yu, Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Yu had a blood feud, but it did not affect the blood feud between Zhao Kuangyin and Cangshi.

As for Huang Yingyu's wanton killing in the city, it was destined that Zhao Kuangyin could only stand on the opposite side of Cangshi. If Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to help Cangshi, those under his command would be the first to make things difficult for him.

Therefore, Wang Yu and the Han court officials were not worried that Zhao and Song would openly intervene in the war. At most, Zhao Kuangyin would withdraw some of the troops from the border, giving Huangfu Guyuan the opportunity to draw more troops to deal with the war, and watch the two families fight, so as to get the opportunity to profit.

"Your Majesty, it is only a matter of time before Zhao Song and Xi Cang become enemies!" "Zhao Kuangyin has also been coveting the land of Hexi for a long time!"

"As long as he is given a chance, he will never give up!" Zhang Liang analyzed calmly.

Except for the small half of Hexi area, the remaining two areas under Zhao Kuangyin's control were all barren regions.

Therefore, although Zhao Song seems to have a lot of territory, its national strength is not much stronger than Dongcang and Dayan.

If it weren't for the economic crisis caused by the four imperial merchants, which caused Dongcang and Dayan to suffer heavy losses, then it would be hard to say who would be the weakest force in Dacang!
After all, the strength of a force is determined by which one has the largest territory, right?

Instead, it is evaluated based on a comprehensive combination of factors such as money, food, population and national strength. However, in these aspects, the two passes cannot even compare with the Qingdi with developed commerce and trade and rich garrisons.

To put it more directly, although Zhao Kuangyin only occupied the two passes and a small half of the Hexi area, the money, food, and population provided to him by that small half of the Hexi area were incomparable to either the Guanxi or Guandong areas.

The same logic applies to the comparison between Hebei and Yan. The money, grain and population of northern and southern Yan combined cannot compare to Hebei.

To put it bluntly, Yanbei alone cannot support the 300,000-strong Zhendong Army. Without the support of the imperial court, it will inevitably collapse over time.

However, if it were Hebei Province, he could afford not only 300,000 soldiers, but even an additional 100,000.

Therefore, Zhang Liang did not believe that Zhao Kuangyin would have no ideas about the remaining half of Hexi. If Zhao Song wanted to become stronger, the half of Hexi would be their easiest and fastest way.

The prerequisite is that Zhao Kuangyin must be allowed to see the opportunity.

"Oh!"

"According to Zifang's opinion, the war between Zhao Song and Dongcang will not take long!" Wang Yu said with a chuckle.

As Xue Rengui's troops threatened Hexi, Xicang Xiaochaotian's troops inevitably moved northward. This naturally created the result for Zhao Kuangyin.

As Zhang Liang said, sooner or later Zhao Kuangyin would lose his patience.

Xi Cang is also Cang, and it also has a deep hatred with the Zhao Song court.

Coupled with the drive of interests, it seems that a war is bound to happen between the two companies.

By that time, Xue Rengui's troops would be freed up.

"That's true, but if I were Zhao Kuangyin and decided to send troops to Hexi, I should also mobilize the troops in Liangguan." Zhang Bin interrupted at this time.

His meaning was very simple. Even if Zhao Kuangyin sent troops, he would definitely withdraw a part of the troops from Liangguan.

On the one hand, the damage would provide more troops to attack the small court in Hexi, ensuring the smooth progress of the war.

Secondly, after Zhao Kuangyin's troops at the grain gate were withdrawn, a part of Huangfu Guyuan's troops could be released accordingly. After Huangfu Guyuan's troops were released, who would they fight against? Of course, it was the Han people!

In this way, it would be like killing two birds with one stone!

"It's just a matter of time!" Zhang Liang shook his head.

In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before Huangfu Guyuan withdrew that part of his troops to the front battlefield, which was not as beneficial to them as if the Zhao Song court went to war with Xicang.

“The lesser of two evils!”

"Tell Xue Rengui to increase the threat to Hexi at the right time and promote the war between Zhao Song and Xicang court as soon as possible!" After thinking about it, Wang Yu gave the order directly.

Only when Zhao Song and the Xicang court go to war will their western front be completely relieved, and their main battlefield can also be launched with drastic and thorough actions.

You know, Xue Rengui's troops, in addition to deterring the Xicang court, also have the intention of guarding against the other side. For this reason, even the Tianhe Navy had to allocate a part of its troops to be ready to support Xue Rengui at any time.

Only if Xue Rengui's troops can be freed up as soon as possible can they go into battle with ease.

"The matter between Zhao Song and Xi Cang is settled!"

"Next, our army's top priority is to defeat Gao Huan's troops in Tongcheng! However, what do you think of Yue Fei's idea?"

Wang Yu opened his mouth and immediately set the tone for the second half of the meeting.

As for Gao Huan's troops in Tongcheng, as the surrounding cities were continuously conquered by Yue Fei, they are now basically trapped in the center!
At this time, what they wanted was not only to wipe out Gao Huan's army of more than 100,000 in Tongcheng, but what they wanted more was to use it to encircle and attack the reinforcements, forcing more Zhongcang troops to gather here.

It can be said that Tongcheng has been regarded by them as a key battlefield, a major battlefield for preparing to annihilate most of Zhongcang's main forces.

"Yue Pengju's bait is indeed too big!"

Thinking of Yue Fei's strategy, even Zhang Liang felt overwhelmed and hesitated.

Surrounding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the middle to attack the reinforcements, this point is too large. If one is not careful, the enemy will be attacked in the center!

Moreover, this also means that they will have to divide a large part of their forces to the surrounding areas, and the troops used to surround Tongcheng will be greatly weakened.

This would also give Tongcheng's troops a chance to break out. After all, if the force advantage does not reach a certain level, it is not easy to fight an encirclement and annihilation war.

Bai Qi was good at encirclement and annihilation, and he was good at encirclement and annihilation when the troops were equal. However, even for Bai Qi, it was based on certain terrain conditions.

But what is the situation here now? This is an endless plain. Even if Bai Qi really comes here, it is impossible for him to fight an encirclement and annihilation war with equal forces on the plain.

No military strategist throughout history has been able to do this!
In any war, we must make good use of external factors.

"Encircle and annihilate, I'm afraid Yue Pengju himself is not sure of this!" Zhang Bin chuckled at this time and said, "Yue Pengju's move, on the one hand, is to encircle and attack the reinforcements, and on the other hand, if encirclement and annihilation fails, he can turn it into a field battle!"

Zhang Liang had not been in the Han Dynasty for long, and Yue Fei was not one of the most famous generals in the Han Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, no matter whether it was Han Xin, the undisputed number one general, or Li Jing, who marched thousands of miles, or Su Dingfang, who destroyed two small dynasties within half a year, these titles could not be compared with Yue Fei.

Therefore, Zhang Liang's understanding of Yue Fei was limited.

But after experiencing the Battle of Shanyang, Zhang Bin had some understanding of Yue Fei.

This person is indeed good at field battles, and he will also find ways to force the other side to fight with him. In other words, most active attackers will try to avoid attacking.

During the Battle of Shanyang, Yue Fei repeatedly used strategies of feigning defeat, and then destroyed the Northern Zhen Army he was facing in one fell swoop.

Today, Yue Fei's approach is just the same as before, with a different name but the same substance.

The only difference is that at first the opponent was lured out, but now the opponent is directly forced to come out.
