Chapter 1583 Sweeping Liangshan (Part 2)

Chapter 1581: Sweeping Liangshan (Part 2)

The movement of the 25,000-strong army was difficult to conceal even if he wanted to, but Li Jing also had methods to confuse Song Jiang.

When he learned that Song Jiang, Wang Mang, Gongsun Shu, and Zhu Tianpeng would join forces to attack Beihai, Li Jing had already ordered the entire county to be abandoned and relocated the people to clear the country, pretending to defend Beihai city to the death.

In the eyes of Song Jiang and Zhu Tianpeng, Li Jing's strategy at this time was to defend Beihai City, so the move of dividing his troops and going out could be explained as relocating and protecting supplies.

 But in fact, the migration of people and the transportation of large amounts of materials were all to cover the actions of the Qin army.

Li Jing divided his 25,000-strong army into ten teams, each with 2,500 soldiers, and marched to various counties with great fanfare to confuse and paralyze the Song Jiang and Liangshan troops. However, at night, he quietly left the city and regrouped at the border.

In just two days, 25,000 Qin troops quietly assembled at the border, but in Song Jiang's eyes, the main force of the Qin army continued to transport supplies and move people to Beihai.

“Master Taishou, there is no movement in the Liangshan Bureau, and Song Jiang has not noticed it. What do you think we should do next?” Qin Ming asked excitedly.

“The Liangshan Army is now divided into two parts, one with 10,000 troops, stationed at the base camp of Liangshan.

 Most of this army is made up of new recruits. They do not pose much of a threat to our army and can be left alone for the time being. "

 At this point, a hint of coldness flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he continued: "Our target this time is the 30,000 main force stationed outside Liangshan."

The Liang State of Songjiang took Liangshan City as its core and radiated little by little to the surrounding areas. After so many years of conquering, it also occupied more than a county in Qingzhou and had more than 300,000 people, so it naturally needed troops to garrison it.

The base camp of Liangshan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Song Jiang only left 10,000 troops, and 30,000 troops were stationed outside Liangshan, naturally to defend the territory that was difficult to conquer.

"Wang Mang will arrive in Qingzhou in half a month at the latest. Once they join the Liangshan Army, it will be difficult to severely damage the Liangshan Army, so they must be defeated before Wang Mang's army arrives."

Ran Min and other generals looked solemn upon hearing this. If Wang Mang really came so quickly, then the difficulty of this battle would be extraordinary.

With 25,000 Qin troops, it is not difficult to defeat 30,000 Liangshan troops. The difficulty lies in the fact that Liangshan troops are dispersed and stationed in various places.

No matter how fast the Qin army moves, it is impossible to move to the entire Liang State and wipe out the main force of the Liangshan Army within half a month. At most, it can only wipe out a part of the Liangshan Army, and this will not have much impact on the overall battle situation. .

Wang Mang’s army will arrive in Qingzhou in half a month, and the Qin army will have to withdraw by then. After all, Liangshanbo is not that easy to fight, and the Qin army cannot waste its troops on the siege.

 So, defeating the main force of the Liangshan Army in one battle seems to be an impossible task!

At this thought, Qin Ming couldn't help but hold his head and wailed in frustration: "How are we going to fight this battle? Unless Song Jiang gathers his troops and then takes the initiative to bump into the blade of our army."

All the generals agreed with this, and at the same time looked at Li Jing with confusion. Apparently they didn't understand Li Jing's intention of sending troops despite knowing this. Was it just to annihilate a Liangshan army? But this makes no sense at all.

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled mysteriously and said: "General Qin Ming, you are really right. I want Song Jiang to take the initiative to gather the army and then hit the blade of our army."

Qin Ming said without thinking: "How is this possible, unless Song Jiang and Wu Yong's brains are flooded with water."

Ran Minze looked thoughtful, and then he couldn't help but open his mouth and said in surprise: "Master Taishou, could it be..."

Li Jing didn't expect Ran Min to guess it so quickly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Yes, General Ran Min, it's just what you thought." Seeing that the two people only spoke half of the words, all the generals were a little confused. In the mist, Qin Mingze asked hurriedly: "What's all this about? Can you explain it clearly?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Ran Min's face, and he sneered: "Song Jiang is not very good at leading troops in battle, but he is still quite cautious.

Once it is known that our army is actively invading, Song Jiang may be cautious and abandon the territory outside Liangshan, leading his army to hide directly in Liangshan and defend until Wang Mang's army arrives. "

Hearing what Li Jing said, Taishi Ci couldn't help but frown, and asked: "Brother Ran, Song Jiang is also a prince after all, and he has more troops than us, so he shouldn't be so timid, right?"

“No, Ziyi, Song Jiang is not as tough as you think.”

Ran Min said with determination: "Anyway, as long as Wang Mang's reinforcements arrive, our army will have to withdraw. Therefore, giving up the cities except Liangshan will not cause any loss for Song Jiang. Fighting with our army alone will incur risks." .

 Ziyi, if you were Song Jiang, what would you choose? "

Hearing this, Taishi Ci also looked astonished and said in surprise: "If you put it this way..."

 “That’s right.”

Seeing that Tai Shici had noticed it, Li Jing could not help but feel a flash of relief in his eyes, and then smiled and said: "Song Jiang will definitely let the army gather if he wants to retreat to Liangshan, and that is the only chance for our army."

Qin Ming has been completely deceived. Although he is still a little unclear about the reason, he just feels that it is very powerful.

 Ran Min and Tai Shi Ci looked at Li Jing with admiration. The prefect probably knew Song Jiang as well as Song Jiang himself.

At the same time, Song Jiang checked the news of the Qin army every day and saw that nothing unusual happened, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"The imperial army will arrive in half a month. Your Majesty promises that when Li Jing's troops are eliminated, Beihai County will be returned to our Liang Kingdom. By then, our Liang Kingdom will be greatly strengthened."

Song Jiang laughed happily, but what he didn't know was that Zhu Tianpeng also wanted Beihai County and directly sent 70,000 troops to fight for it. Therefore, even if Li Jing was eliminated, Beihai County could not be returned to Liangshan.

“Lord, Li Jing’s reaction is a little unusual.” Wu Yong frowned.

When Song Jiang heard this, his heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

Wu Yong pondered for a while, then sighed: "I can't really tell, it just doesn't feel like Li Jing's style. Anyway, it's better to be more cautious."

Li Jing certainly did not forget Wu Yong. The methods he prepared were mainly to confuse Wu Yong. After all, Song Jiang alone did not need such trouble.

Wu Yong's strategy level is not low, and his intelligence is as high as 92 points, but compared with Li Jing, whose intelligence is 98, there is obviously still a big gap.

Wu Yong just felt that Li Jing's behavior had changed. After all, the Qin army was facing a situation where it was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so it was completely normal for him to react like this.

The update on the guarantee is here. Yesterday, Kavin owed a chapter of the guarantee and a monthly chapter of Platycodon. Currently, I owe a total of two chapters.
