Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1061 Surrounding Liu Lin

Meng Po walked into the handsome account and said: "Yesterday, Wen Xing played the best, which was unexpected! Bai Chaoxing fought in from the west road and finally won the victory, but Kong Yanzhou ran away from the muddy ground and was never seen again. Can't catch up. In this sense, Bai Chaoxing suffered a loss."

Wei Yang said: "The purpose of Xuanfu is to disperse the enemy and make it easier to fight. In this sense, it doesn't matter if Kong Yanzhou runs away. As long as Kong Yanzhou's troops are eliminated and he can never get back up, the battle will be successful."

Meng Po said: "Overall, this battle was fought well. Both Wen Xing and Bai Chaoxing achieved their goals and defeated the enemy. The only flaw was that the defeated Kong Yanzhou troops did not run eastward. , the two divisions of Lin Wei led by Li Qianjia did not play any role and played a small role. Although Kong Yanzhou escaped from the muddy land, he only brought a few personal soldiers with him and his entire army was wiped out."

Wei Yang stood up, thought for a while and said: "The goal has been achieved. It can be said that the war was very successful. I will go to Xuanfu and report the good news to him as soon as possible. Li Lin was stimulated by the news and should have reacted."

Meng Po said: "The commander-in-chief will leave early. I will stay in Anli Army and Linhe County to sort out the troops. I estimate that it won't take long before we attack Li Lin."

Wei Yang nodded and said goodbye to Mengpo.

When I came out of the handsome tent, I was immediately hit by the heat wave. Wei Yang unbuttoned his clothes, still blocking the heat wave from entering his arms. He quickly got on his horse and galloped forward. It wasn't until I ran a few miles that I felt a little cooler.

Summer is not a good time to fight. In addition to the heat, there are always floods. Fortunately, Hebei is relatively dry, and Damingfu is not far from Dahang Mountain, so it is relatively dry. If we stay in Hejian Mansion or Cangzhou, we have to wait for several months. We can't fight now.

Wei Yang rode fast, taking advantage of the wind blowing while riding, trying to stay cool. We arrived in Huazhou at noon and had to rest to avoid the bad weather. I took a nap at noon in Huazhou. It was no longer so hot, so I got on the horse again.

Wang Xiaolie is currently stationed in Weicheng, a subordinate city of Huazhou, which is closer to Linhe. Huazhou is a very interesting place. Although it is not adjacent to Jingbei North Road, it was connected with Jingbei North Road during most of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the evening, when the sky was not so short, it would have been dark already, and Wei Yang finally arrived at Wei City.

Arriving at the commander's tent, Wei Yang breathed out a sigh of relief. After entering the commander's tent, Wei Yang said, "I've seen Xuan Fu."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's really hard for you to come here in such hot weather. There's nothing to do now, so you can take a rest."

Wei Yang said sheepishly, "Thank you Xuanfu. If it's convenient, give me a pot of boiled water. I drank all the water I brought along on the way. I didn't see anyone on the way, and my throat hurts, almost like it's on fire."

Wang Xiaolie was startled, and hurriedly asked his soldiers to bring water over, and poured it into Wei Yang's bowl himself.

Where can Wei Yang wait? He poured the water into the bowl and drank it in a hurry. I drank three large bowls in a row before I recovered.

Patting his belly, Wei Yang said: "I feel alive again! I usually don't feel anything while walking on this road. But it's really hot today. I walked fine in the morning, but I felt uncomfortable in the morning."

Wang Xiaolie said: "In the morning, it was slowly warming up, and there was still a bit of coolness. In the afternoon, it was already overheated. It was very hot when I first left, and it got hotter and hotter. Can it be the same?"

I brought two pieces of ice for Wei Yang and a basin of cold water for him to cool down on the side. After a while, he finally calmed down.

Wei Yang moved the cold water away and said, "I finally came to life! My brain, I just remembered something now." Wang Xiaolie looked at Wei Yang and said, "I guess it was the victory in Linhe? If you didn’t win, you wouldn’t have it so easy.”

Wei Yang said excitedly: "Xuanfu's guess was right. We won a great victory in Linhe! Kong Yanzhou's troops were wiped out! Unfortunately, Kong Yanzhou finally led six people and ran through the muddy area south of the county seat and escaped."

Wang Xiaolie looked at Wei Yang and said helplessly: "The geographical location of Linhe is good, but Kong Yanzhou escaped, what can I do? However, it doesn't matter if Kong Yanzhou runs away, he has nowhere to go. And he lost it. Soldiers and horses, Li Lin won’t treat him well.”

Wei Yang said: "Looking at the direction Kong Yanzhou ran, he was heading towards Puzhou. For a while, Puzhou didn't know the news about Linhe."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "Don't think about Kong Yanzhou anymore. Let him go wherever he goes. We will catch him in the end. What we need to discuss now is how to deploy my army and whether Liu Lin can be blocked." road!"

Wei Yang nodded: "If you want to block Liu Lin's road, you must plan carefully."

Wang Xiaolie put away the official document in his hand, brought the map over, and thought about it carefully.

After a while, Wang Xiaoxing said: "Take your troops and go around Kaide Mansion from the north to occupy Qingfeng County. When Liu Lin went south, he did not station a large number of troops in Qingfeng County, but only left a small number. It shouldn’t be difficult to capture the manpower. After occupying Qingfeng County, send out troops in time to hold off Liu Lin’s troops and prevent them from leaving!”

Wei Yang said hello and came over to look at the map on the table.

Wang Xiaoxing said: "To the east of Kaide Mansion, there is a large swamp, which makes it difficult to march. There is only a built road that can cover the one or two miles. After passing Shanghuxun, you can walk on the main road without any obstacles. . Instead of stopping them in Kaide Mansion, it is better to attack Puzhou first!"

Wang Ruohai came in from outside, listened to Wang Xiaolie's words, and came up to look at the map. After looking at the map for a while, he nodded and said, "Xuan Fu is right. It is best to attack Puzhou and block the retreat of Li Lin's troops."

Wei Yang said: "I am in Qingshui County and blocked the road to the north. If I block Puzhou again, Liu Lin will have nowhere to go."

Wang Xiaolie looked at the map and drew on it with his finger. He said decisively: "Order Lin Wei to set off and set off for Puzhou. Liu Lin only has 10,000 people in Puzhou, or even less than 10,000, so it should be easier to fight. Leave Liu Lin's 30,000 people to not fight yet, delay Slow him down."

Wang Ruohai nodded and looked at the map carefully. After a while, he said: "The roads in Guancheng and Chaocheng are too muddy to catch up with. If the roads in the direction of Puzhou are blocked, I'm afraid Liu Lin will escape in the direction of Guancheng."

Wang Xiaolie said: "We only have 380,000 troops, and we still have to deal with Kong Yanzhou's remnant army, and there are not enough people. Looking at the city and toward the city, where the army goes, because the road there is too muddy, not many people can escape. The most important thing is the direction of Puzhou, don’t let Liu Lin’s army run there!”

Wang Ruohai said: "What Xuan Fu said makes sense. Just do this. There is nothing to be afraid of if Liu Lin escapes."
