Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 339 Haze
To solve Lukou, one of the first problems faced is not to alert Shuzhou Murong Jun.

Otherwise, if his [-]-strong army rushes forward, it will turn into Yanliang fighting in Lukou.

Lukou is very close to Jicheng, but quite far from Yecheng. Once a tug of war occurs, Murong Jun can mobilize a steady stream of troops.

Then the situation will be almost the same as that of the Battle of Xiangguo.

There was Murong Jun in front of him, Murong Ke in the back, and Lu Hu in Lukou City.

Therefore, we must cut through the mess quickly and occupy Lukou before Murong Jun can react.

Of course, the biggest problem is not Murong Jun, but Murong Ke who is stationed in Gaotang.

If there was any movement on Li Yue's side, it would not be difficult for Murong Ke to guess his intention.

Therefore, the number of troops used to attack Lukou cannot be large, and they must be invisible.

Although you can borrow food for cover, the difference between the nobles and the common people is too big to escape the eyes of those who are interested.

Yan State also has a large number of detailed scouts in Jizhou, as well as powerful people as their eyes and ears. It is not an easy task to hide from them.

Murong Ke, Feng Yi, and Yang Qian are not easy people to deal with, and they are all good at conspiracy.

Ran Min's defeat was not due to force, but because he was calculated to death and walked step by step into a trap set by others.

Similarly, Lu Hu is not an ordinary person. He can stand out in the mutiny, which shows how cunning and vicious this person is.

"My subordinates are willing to be the vanguard and lead a thousand dead men to escort the grain and grass. I will behead Lu Hu as a tribute!" Wei Shan did his duty.

Li Yue glanced at him, his face was full of flesh and blood, and there was a scar on his face. He had a fierce look. He looked like the master of murder and robbery. He was sent not for a sneak attack, but for an open attack.

The dead soldiers of the forward battalion have an evil spirit about them, which is difficult to hide from the enemy.

"If you want to hide it from other people's eyes and ears, you can't be too ostentatious. General Wei's magnanimity is extraordinary and it is difficult to escape the eyes and ears of the enemy. It is not suitable to go here." Li Yue stroked Wei Shan's hair.

Although he refused, he also secretly supported him. Wei Shan said with a smile on his face, "Haha, it seems that His Highness has already chosen someone."

Li Yue said solemnly: "Yes, where is Lu Guang!"

"The general is here!" Lu Guang stood up from the back row and knelt down in front of Li Yue. His young face showed the perseverance unique to this era.

The eyes of all the generals in the hall were focused on him, with envy, admiration, and doubts.

"You lead an army of a thousand volunteers to escort the army and livestock into Lukou, and rob and kill Lu Hu! There will be people in the city who will respond to you!"

"Take the order!" Lu Guang looked calm.

Cui Hong whispered in his ear, "With such an important task, Your Highness must be cautious."

Li Yue looked at him, "Besides him, who else is worthy of this position?"

This war involves too many areas, and all the generals that can be dispatched have been dispatched. Liang Guo's talent background is not enough, so he dare not use new people at this time, when will he wait?
Li Yue has absolute confidence in Lu Guang.

"What His Highness said is true." Cui Hong said no more.

"The scout camp works day and night to seal off the surrounding areas of Gaotang. Murong Ke must not receive any news or spread any news!" Li Yue looked at Zhang Shengye.

Zhang Shengye bowed his hands and said, "Take your orders!"

"Let the three generals Cui Jin, Bo Wu, and Chen Duan, once Murong Ke raises his troops to go north, hold him back and entangle him at any cost!"

"Wei!" More than a dozen ordering soldiers took the order and left.

Lu Guang was very quick. In two hours, a thousand volunteers stood outside the camp.

The clothes are ragged, but he still looks heroic.

Compared with the dead soldiers in the vanguard, these young men aged fifteen or sixteen were less evil, but more energetic, just like the Liang Kingdom today.

The eyes looking at Li Yue were full of admiration.

Even if Li Yue ordered them to jump into the fire pit at this time, I am afraid not many people would hesitate. "Are you afraid?" Li Yue patted a volunteer soldier on the shoulder.

"I can serve His Highness and die without regrets!" The young man said with a look of determination.

"You are talking nonsense, you are young, how can you talk about life and death? You all have to survive, and the future leaders will need you more." Li Yue's mood was a little complicated. Looking back now, Lukou seemed like a bloody mouth. Waiting to devour the flesh and blood of Liang Guo.

These young men seemed to be sacrifices.

However, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
"Then Your Highness will wait for me to return in triumph!" A relaxed smile appeared on the young man's face.

"Good ambition!" Li Yue laughed loudly, and the gloom in his heart was swept away. "With your loyal and brave soldiers, I, Daliang, will definitely win this battle!"

"We must win!" Qian Erlang raised his fist and rushed towards the blue sky. Everyone's face was filled with extreme confidence.

Li Yue immediately summoned Lu Guang and gave him careful instructions, "You must put your life first! Lu Kou will act within his ability."

Lu Guang was stunned, "Your Highness is saying..."

Li Yue waved his hand, "You act accordingly!"

"Follow the order!" Lu Guang seemed to have some realization.

A thousand men drove the livestock, dragged the wooden cart, and headed north.

Li Yue watched them disappear into the horizon before turning around and leaving.

There were no outsiders, Cui Hong said in a low voice: "Could it be that His Highness also suspects that Lukou is a trap? Murong Jun's subordinates Feng Yi and Yang Qian are both resourceful people... It is a bit strange for Lu Hu to come to ask for food at this time."

Normal people know how to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight. Lu Hu jumped out at this time and extorted military rations. Wasn't he trying to get more?It's so unreasonable.

As if to remind Li Yue to pay attention to Lukou...

"Are you saying he is luring our troops north?"

"Lu Hu is capricious and cannot be trusted. Your Highness must not forget the defeat of Emperor Wu Dao!" Cui Hong reminded.

Ran Min was not defeated militarily, but by Murong's machinations.

The battle of Xiangguo was like this, and the battle of Liantai was also like this.

Step by step, he fell into the enemy's trap and was plotted by others.

Li Yue has formed a habit of being prepared for everything.

This battle is too important, it is the turning point in Liang Yan's struggle. If things go wrong, Liang's good situation will be gone forever.

Li Yue couldn't afford to lose. If Lukou was a trap, it would be too dangerous for him to run into it like this.

But now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be launched.

From another perspective, if Lukou is a trap, it means that Lu Hu has completely fallen to Yan State.

The door to Jizhou has been opened, and Li Yue wants to go north to cut through the mess quickly.

"This subordinate is just guessing and not sure." Cui Hong handed over his hand.

"Your guess is not wrong. There is a saying in the art of war: don't worry about victory, think about defeat first, so you can fight a hundred battles without danger. I have made a decision." Li Yue laughed, and the situation became clearer and clearer. "Send the order for the army to assemble and follow my king." Go north!"

"Your Highness..." Cui Hong looked confused.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone brightly on their armor, and the murderous aura in their eyes became more and more intense. Tens of thousands of people gathered together, turning into a murderous aura soaring to the sky.

What determines this battle is not the west or the east, but the north.

Li Yue rode his horse and walked slowly in front of the armies, then pointed his sword north, and the army ran towards the north as if they were awakening.
