Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 253 Convergence of Two Armies

but said
After Liu Qi sent his troops to enter Yizhou in two ways, the two armies also joined together, and they were only a hundred miles away from Luocheng, and they could reach it in half a day by marching quickly.

The two armies gathered together, a total of more than [-] soldiers.

The established camps are continuous, and countless black flags in the camps are fluttering in the wind, like a long dragon, stretching towards the distance without seeing the end.

In the main account.

The generals and counselors of the two Jingzhou armies also gathered together.

Go in the door.

On the left is the seat of generals, including Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Yan Yan, Wen Pin and other generals.

On the right is the seat of counselors, including Guo Jia, Li Ru, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Kuai Liang and other counselors.

On the main seat in the center, Liu Qi's position is unquestionable.

Liu Qi looked at the people sitting there, and felt very satisfied. These are the backbone of his command. If there were no people, he would not be able to go to today alone. If he wants to fight for hegemony, it is not possible for one person to succeed , but also need a variety of assistance.

"Now we only need to take down Luocheng, and then we can march into Chengdu, and thus take down the entire land of Yizhou. Along the way, all of you are able to go so smoothly and strengthen our army!" Liu Qi said.

"This is what the subordinates should do!" Everyone clasped their hands.

Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "Although there are only two cities left, we can't take it lightly and underestimate the enemy army. When we take the last two cities, we will reward them according to their merits!"

"promise!"

Zhao Yun and others who had followed Liu Qi for a long time knew that Liu Qi did not treat his subordinates badly.

Even people like Yan Yan who have just followed for a short time can know that after all, there is an ironclad rule in Liu Qi's army, that is, soldiers who die in battle can get a large sum of money, which will be completely sent to the families of the dead soldiers ; Injured soldiers can also get a good sum of money; those who are unable to continue fighting can also choose an idle job as a errand.

It is entirely to help the soldiers avoid the worries behind them, which is one of the reasons why the Jingzhou Army is strong.

"What's the situation in Luocheng now?" Liu Qi asked.

If you want to take down Chengdu, Luocheng is a place you can't go around. You have to take Luocheng, and then you have the opportunity to march into Chengdu and take Chengdu.

Do not take down Luocheng, let alone capture Chengdu.

heard.

Guo Jia stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, according to reports, Liu Zhang dispatched four generals, with Zhang Ren as the chief general, and Liu Gui, Deng Xian, and Leng Bao as deputy generals, leading fifty thousand enemy troops to guard the area. In Luocheng, but for some reason, Deng Xian and Leng Bao led [-] troops out of Luocheng yesterday. The next two camps!"

Before arriving at Luocheng, they sent many scouts early in the morning to find out the situation in Luocheng. After all, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle. If you don't even know the situation of the enemy army, what will happen next.

"Leaving Luocheng, set up two large camps more than twenty miles away?" Liu Qi was a little puzzled by what Zhang Ren and others did, and continued: "Where are they?"

"In a dangerous canyon, the two of them each lead [-] soldiers and horses, stationed on the left and right sides, obviously wanting to block our army's progress there and delay our army's attack on Luocheng!" Guo Jia replied. .

Apart from this one reason, he couldn't think of any other reason, but the arrangement of Zhang Ren and others was only able to stop them for a while, and it was impossible for them to give up attacking Luocheng.

Therefore, dividing the troops to occupy the terrain to stop the pace of their Jingzhou army will not change anything at all, it is better to stick to Luocheng and procrastinate.

The counselors such as Zhuge Liang also had the same idea, and they couldn't figure out why Zhang Ren and others wanted to divide their troops.

Liu Qi also fell silent, how long can [-] troops stop them, more than [-] soldiers, not to mention that Leng Bao and Deng Xian camped in a dangerous place, so he had to want to attack.

If he passes through, Leng Bao and Deng Xian will have nothing to do with him, so it can be said that they are doing useless work.

As for being flanked by front and back, he was not afraid at all. He knew that there were enemy troops behind him, so how could he not pay attention and be vigilant.

From time to time...

"No matter what their plans are, they will know after contact. The first guarantee is that our army can pass through the dangerous place, and then we can take Luocheng smoothly and march into Chengdu!" Liu Qi said.

This is what he is most concerned about right now.

"My lord, there is no need to worry too much about this matter!" One person stood up and laughed.

Everyone looked, and it was Jia Xu who spoke.

"Although Leng Bao and Deng Xian set up two large camps in a dangerous place, they wanted to use the terrain to block our army's advance, but they forgot one thing, that is, our army has a large number of people. question!"

Jia Xu paused and continued: "If there is only one road there, the [-] enemy troops can indeed cause some trouble. According to the observation of the scout, there is not only one road through there, although the rest of the roads cannot allow the army to pass together. , but you only need to send two soldiers and horses to surround the enemy army who has set up their camp on the mountainside, and the army will be able to pass through safely, and the [-] enemy army will be trapped to death!"

After finishing speaking, he also looked at Liu Qi, feeling very disdain for Leng Bao and Deng Xian in his heart. Although they were not familiar with the terrain, the many scouts they sent out were not vegetarians, and they had figured out the surrounding situation early in the morning.

Moreover, Leng Bao and Deng Xian dared to set up their camp on the mountainside. Doesn't this give them a chance to trap [-] soldiers? Once they send troops to guard the foot of the mountain, the troops led by Leng Bao and Deng Xian , it will be of no use at all, and it is absolutely impossible to cause them any trouble.

Zhuge Liang, Li Ru, Guo Jia, and Kuai Liang also nodded in agreement. Although Leng Bao and Deng Xian were guarding the dangerous place where the army passed, they were poor at setting up camp by taking advantage of the terrain. on a lot.

It was clear that the two armies should join together, and those who were in charge set up camp, but those who were dead separated, one on the left and one on the right set up camp on the mountainside.

It seems to be condescending and has an advantage, but if you hold the foot of the mountain, then the enemy troops on the mountain will have no effect. They will either think about how to break through, surrender or wait for death.

A group of generals also looked at Liu Qi, with a flash of fighting intent in their eyes, waiting for Liu Qi to issue orders, after all, the final decision was in Liu Qi's hands.

Liu Qi also rubbed his chin, and thought for a while. It is not a problem to go to Luocheng through that dangerous place, and it is impossible to ignore the two camps established by Leng Bao and Deng Xian. Otherwise, even if they pass, the safety of the rear is also a problem. problem exists.
