The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1179 Within ten days, Luoyang must be captured

A strange look flashed in Chen Qian's eyes, and he said, "What Da Sima means is..."

Lu Kang said in a serious voice: "Liu Yin copied our army's back route and cut off our army's food and grass. He has only one purpose, to force us to retreat. Since he is using troops outside, Luoyang's defense must be empty. What's more, we are already approaching the city, so there is no reason to retreat. , break the boat, take Luoyang, and see what he can do with Liu Yin?"

Chen Qian said worriedly: "Xingyang is lost, and the food and grass are all destroyed. Now the food carried by our army is not enough for ten days. If we can't take Luoyang within ten days, once the food is exhausted, how can we continue?"

Lu Kang said categorically, "Within ten days, Luoyang will be conquered!"

This time Liu Yin gave up Hulao Pass, lengthened the front line of the Wu army, and attacked Xingyang, where the Wu army stored grain, and burned all the grain and grass of the Wu army. The purpose is obvious, which is to force Lu Kang to retreat, because grain and grass are an army. Without food and grass, how can the army fight?
But Lu Kang would not be reconciled to retreating like this. He had already attacked the city of Luoyang, and if he retreated in despair, it would undoubtedly be a shame for Lu Kang in his life.

The attack on Luoyang this time was entirely due to the internal turmoil in Shu. If you retreat, you will never know that the year of the monkey will be over again. Maybe after the retreat, General Wu will never have the opportunity to return to Luoyang. Once the military strength and momentum of the Kingdom of Shu are slowed down, there may be only nightmares waiting for the Kingdom of Wu in the years to come.

So Lu Kang can't retreat, the more critical the time is, the more he has to grit his teeth and persevere, although Lu Kang also believes that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Wu army, the lack of food and grass, and the unstable morale of the army are all for using troops Big taboo, for Lu Kang, it is indeed difficult.

But at this time, Lu Kang could not back down. In fact, Lu Kang was under a lot of pressure to attack Luoyang this time. The court has not been optimistic about Lu Kang's plan. If they return, then the voices of impeachment against Lu Kang will inevitably increase, and Lu Kang himself finds it difficult to stay in the position of the chief governor and chief minister.

Now Lu Kang has no choice but to complete all his achievements in one battle, fight with his back to the wall, and take Luoyang, all problems will be solved easily.

Those who have been called famous generals in ancient times can be put to death and survived. Xiang Yu's giant deer broke Zhanghan, Han Xin Jingxing defeated Chen Yu, all of them were in desperate situation and fought desperately to find a way out.Now Lu Kang is facing the same difficult situation as Xiang Yu and Han Xin back then. Both Xiang Yu and Han Xin can win in one battle and change the pattern of the world, so how can Lu Kang give up such an opportunity and shrink back?
Within ten days, Luoyang must be conquered!When Lu Kang uttered these bold words, the blood in his body was boiling. Confidence, courage, and courage are all indispensable.

Chen Qian couldn't help being moved by Lu Kang's firm belief. Lu Kang looked sick and weak, but the heroic determination in his bones was not comparable to ordinary people. Of course, Chen Qian understood the difficulty of the current situation. , But once they retreated, their determined action this time came to naught, and it would be an extravagant hope to attack Luoyang again.

What's more, after missing this opportunity, the Shu army's counterattack is unbearable for them, and the future battle situation will become more and more difficult.

Perhaps Lu Kang's decision is the most correct decision. After all his achievements in one battle, he will live if he wins, and he will die if he loses. With courage and perseverance, he can fight his way out. Only by taking Luoyang can he truly change the pattern of the world.If they retreated this time, the final result would be to boil the frogs in warm water and die slowly.

Chen Qian couldn't help lamenting that he was getting old. After hearing the news of Xingyang's fall, he immediately thought about how to retreat, but Lu Kang thought exactly the opposite. If he was 20 years younger, Chen Qian might also There is Lu Kang's determination to forge ahead, wisdom and understanding.

Chen Qian couldn't help playing the role of Liu Yin, who was younger than Lu Kang, strategizing and winning thousands of miles. Is there any opponent more terrifying than Liu Yin in the world?If there are miracles in the world, how many miracles have Liu Yin created over the years?
The current world is already dominated by young people, and their generation of old people will gradually fade out of people's sight. Maybe Lu Kang is still qualified to be Liu Yin's opponent, but in the near future, Lu Kang will also grow old. , Liu Yin will be invincible vertically and horizontally in the world, and no one can stop him.

The battle of Luoyang this time will definitely be a watershed in the changes of the world structure. If the Wu army wins by chance, then the world will still have a chance to fight.

While admiring Lu Kang's courage, Chen Qian also agreed with Lu Kang's idea of ​​attacking Luoyang. Now they are grasshoppers on the same rope, they can only advance and retreat together, there is no other way.

Lu Kang said: "Now the Shu army is divided into three places, one is in Luoyang, the other is in Xingyang, and the other is in the southeast of Luoyang in the area of ​​Zhiyuan Pass, Dagu Pass and Guangcheng Pass. We have formed an encirclement situation. If we attack Luoyang with all our strength, we must guard against the Shu army in Xingyang and Luonan. I plan to order Sun Xiu, the former general of Xiakou Governor, to send troops from Jingzhou, bypass Xiangyang, and attack Luyang, Xiangcheng, etc. As for the enemies in Xingyang, Lu has no choice but to rely on King Yingchuan, King Huainan, and King Taishan."

The current situation is very delicate. Although the Wu army aggressively attacked Luoyang, it was hidden in the encirclement of the Han army. If the Han army further tightened the encirclement, the Wu army would be attacked on three sides, and the situation was critical.So what Lu Kang has to do now is first of all to contain the Shu army in Xingyang and Luonan, and let them rescue Luoyang flawlessly.

For this Shu army in Luonan, Lu Kang had already thought of a countermeasure, that is, to send former general Xiakou Governor Sun Xiu to send troops from Jingzhou, bypass Xiangyang, and attack Luyang, Xiangcheng and other places near Luonan.Although Xiangyang has not yet been conquered, after Zhonghui marched north, the Han army's strength in Xiangyang was limited, and they could only stick to some important city passes.

Long before Lu Kang set out for the expedition, he had already arranged for Sun Xiu's support in Jingzhou. Sun Xiu had already led [-] troops to the Yicheng area, and he could go north for reinforcements at any time. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to deploy troops after a long distance. thing.

As for the Shu army in Xingyang, it was Lu Kang's headache. The Wu army was powerless, and Lu Kang could only rely on the three kings of the Guandong.
