back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 812 Convergence
This forbidden army gnawed on dry food, ate wild fruits, climbed mountains and waded through rivers and lakes. It took two days, resting and walking, hurrying, and finally came to the so-called Xuanguang Prefecture in Jiaozhi.

Along the way, it was very strange to attract money, but I couldn't ask why the marching plan was changed.If it had been according to the original plan, the imperial army should have gone straight to Thang Long City, but now they took a sharp turn and diverted from Taiyuan Prefecture in Jiaozhi to Xuanguang Prefecture.In fact, the terrain of Xuanguang is also very dangerous. It has always been an important town in the north of Cochin, and it can be said to be a hub of water and land transportation.By land, you can reach Dali Mansion and Guangnan West Road, and by water, you can go straight to Shenglong City along the Nanding River.Xuanguang Prefecture has an extremely strong military fortress. It was originally the birthplace of Li Gongyun, the great ancestor of the Li Dynasty. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has great strategic significance.

Of course, Zhaocai as a guide doesn't understand this.So he didn't know that Zhe Kexing had been sending scouts all the time, and had contact with the navy led by Lu Chenhuan.When he learned that Lu Chenhuan had left Shenglong City, went upstream along the Nanding River, and arrived in the northwest of Cochin, Zhe Kexing changed his itinerary without hesitation, from going directly to Shenglong City to changing his route to declare Gwangju.

As a general, if you don't know how to judge the situation, adapt to the situation, and only know how to stick to the rules, you will definitely be defeated one day.As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he must have the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Of course, it is better to predict the enemy first.But the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, how can everything be as expected?Indecisiveness leads to disaster.If Zhe Kexing had gone straight to Shenglong City according to the original plan, he might have encountered the Jiaozhi army long ago.You know, now eighty to nine out of ten of the entire Jiaozhi army has been mobilized by Li Rizun to the outside of Thang Long City.Furthermore, Shenglong City was the capital of the Li Dynasty, and it had already been attacked and breached by Dashun's army. How could Li Rizun take it lightly?

It is already extremely embarrassing for Kyoto to be breached by the enemy.If you lose it again, I am afraid that the popularity of the people and Li Rizun's prestige will plummet.Li Rizun couldn't bet on this bet.

Therefore, Rising Dragon City must be an impregnable wall now, and going there is tantamount to courting death.

In other words, both Lu Chenhuan and Zhe Kexing's choices were correct, avoiding their edge, maneuvering flexibly, and looking for opportunities to fight.Therefore, Lu Chenhuan withdrew from Shenglong City, went upstream along the Red River, and came to the vicinity of Xuanguang Prefecture.Xuanguang Prefecture is a strategically important place. The city walls of the state are high and thick, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.But there were no defenders in the state city. It turned out that Li Rizun had already transferred away the few defenders in order to avenge his revenge, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people, as well as the people of the city.

Lu Chenhuan endured it for a day, but because he was going up against the current, it was a short journey, but he walked for three days.Waiting another day is to join the army with Zheke.

Before they knew it, the Dashun navy had been out at sea for nearly half a month, and half of the food and grass in the cabin had been consumed.And all the luggage was left in Qinzhou City.Presumably, with the talent of restraint, the importance of logistics will not be missed.Lu Chenhuan had already predicted that Zhe Kexing would be so cautious that he would definitely bring his luggage on the expedition, even if he paid the price of slowing down the marching speed.

Sure enough, when Zhe Kexing led the army to Xuanguang Prefecture, Lu Chenhuan was on the deck and saw a cart of grain and grass from a distance, pulled by a horse.Lu Chenhuan patted Zou You's shoulder with a smile: "You see, the general said that he will definitely bring food and grass!"

Zou You frowned and said, "Soldiers are expensive, why do you have to bring such a burdensome food and grass?"

Lu Chenhuan said earnestly: "Mr. Zou, perhaps in the Royal Military Academy, you have read more military books than this general, but when it comes to on-the-spot response, you are a little insufficient. Your Majesty's plan is good, and the future will be attacked first." Annihilated the enemy, and then took advantage of the momentum to attack Shenglong City, captured Li Rizun alive, and overthrew the Li Dynasty in one fell swoop. But the fact? Not so, we captured Shenglong City, but Li Rizun ran away; Guo Qingri was defeated, but He also ran away. His run must be faster than General Zhe. Li Rizun learned the news of the defeat ahead, and when he came back to his senses, he would definitely come back to defend Shenglong City. Then we are defending Shenglong City. This is not a death. What? We only have a few people, and the Cochin Army has at least 20 people, it’s not worth fighting with this number of people!”

After hearing this, Zou You thought deeply, and felt that the real battlefield was more than what was taught in the Royal Military Academy.He was originally just a tenth general of the Imperial Army (and what general), and he entered the Royal Military Academy by chance.He had never had the opportunity to go to the battlefield before, and he himself thought of the war too simply, so he took it for granted.

Lu Chenhuan seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be saying to Zou You: "In war, if you think a little more than others, then your chances of winning are better... Well, General Zhe is coming soon, let's go down to meet him !"

After finishing speaking, he got off the new-style warship from the pedal, went up to greet him and said, "General Zhe, you are finally here, I have been waiting so hard!"

Zhe Kexing quickly got off his horse and said: "The future is late, please punish the commander!"

"Change in the battle situation is unavoidable for anyone, and it will be good when we arrive." Lu Chenhuan took over the command of the imperial army seemingly lightly: "Everyone has worked hard, let's rest here!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled Zheke aside, avoiding the crowd, and said mysteriously: "General Zhe, do you know why Ben is here?"

"Xuan Guangzhou?"

Zhe Kexing had already thought clearly along the way, and said what Lu Chenhuan was thinking like a conditioned reflex: "The commander wants to capture Xuanguang Prefecture while there are not many defenders in Xuanguang Prefecture?"

"That's right!" Lu Chenhuan said triumphantly, "Xuanguang Prefecture has a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It also has two main water and land routes. You can go back to Dali Mansion along the river, and you can reach Guangnan East Road in the east. If you capture this place, Li Rizun, kid, it's no wonder he jumped up in a hurry!"

Seeing Lu Chenhuan showing a sinister smile, Zhe Kexing also smiled and said: "The commander is a good planner! There is no need to delay, attack the city immediately!"

"Don't be in a hurry, you have come from a long way, people are tired and horses are tired, it is not suitable to attack the city. And it will be dark, attacking the city overnight, fear of accidents. The enemy does not know where we are waiting, why not rest for a night, and then attack the city ?” Lu Chenhuan had his own plan, and revealed all the plans in his mind.

"That's fine, we must seize the city!" Zhe Kexing didn't object, this time the imperial army came with enough siege equipment, just for the purpose of attacking the city, why are there so many luggage?It's just that they originally wanted to fight Shenglong City, but now they have turned into Xuanguangzhou City by mistake.This is like herding sheep, one is herding, the other is herding, it's all the same.

Lu Chenhuan said: "Since General Zhe also agrees, then let's convene something... By the way, a military meeting to make a final decision."

The military meeting was stipulated by Lu Chengqi. As the saying goes, three generals are better than one Zhuge Liang.After brainstorming, maybe there will be a better strategy.No matter how bad it is, it can check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and improve the battle plan.Although there is a possibility of delaying the fighter plane, sharpening the knife does not miss the woodcutter. This risk can be fully borne.
