Chapter 737: The Third Battlefield
In Kaiping County, Deng Pu stared at the map, his brows frowned deeply into the character Sichuan.
The changes in form are dazzling, and plans are always unable to keep up with the changes. The exposure of the Li Weige Township incident forced the barbarians to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty in advance. Now it seems that this whole thing is a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming people had already planned all the steps to eliminate the barbarians. The only change was that they did not expect that this thing that was supposed to be a civil war in the country turned into a war between several countries.
Deng Pu was now impressed by Qin Feng's tolerance. There was no doubt that the betrayal of Li Wei and Ge Xiang had been known to Qin Feng for a long time, but he was not in a hurry to deal with these two guys who had rebellious bones behind his head, and dragged the barbarians into this bottomless pit step by step.
Without the intervention of Qin and Qi, the ambitious Murong Hong would have been easily removed by Qin Feng. Of course, the barbarians' situation is not better now, and the only good news for them is that fewer Ming troops were wiped out, so that they could only breathe for a few more days.
Deng Pu didn't care about the life and death of the barbarians. Like Cao Hui, he only hoped that the barbarians would be stronger and more lasting. In this way, they could restrain the Ming army surrounding them and create more favorable conditions for their attack.
The situation is very obvious now. Once the barbarians are destroyed, the battlefield where tens of thousands of Ming troops in Zhengyang County may be invested, either Shayang County or Kaiping County.
"General, the situation is very obvious now. Qin Feng regards us as the main enemy. His subordinates guess that if the barbarians completely fail, tens of thousands of Ming troops in Zhengyang County will definitely be invested in the battle between Kaiping County and our Daqin." Dai Shulun looked at the map and said, "Qin Feng's miners' camp, the fire death camp he personally led, and the number of ominous cavalry are moving towards Zhongping County. He regards us as the number one enemy."
Deng Pu smiled faintly: "Eat persimmons and pick up soft pinch. Qin Feng probably feels that even if he attacks Qi with all his strength, he will not get any other benefits except attracting more troops from Qi. It would be better to deal with us with all his strength. After all, he can calculate the force we can invest with his eyes closed."
"If he really treats us as soft persimmons, then this time he will be unable to eat it." Dai Shulun said in dissatisfaction.
"Compared with the Qi people, we are indeed much weaker, not only in terms of military strength, but also in terms of internal affairs." Deng Pu closed his eyes. At this time, he had to think of Li Zhi's death.
Li Zhi's death brought Deng's family to the top. It seemed that Deng's family had the greatest success, but now Deng Pu thought about it carefully, slowly savored the taste. They were the ones who benefited the most, and the ones who benefited the most were Mingren.
Take this war for example. If Li Zhi was still alive, how could the Qin people be so disorganized and had their own plans? It must be under the leadership of General Li, all the soldiers and horses in the whole country were united and attacked the Ming Kingdom together. Then wouldn’t victory be at your fingertips?
Deng’s family gained profits, but Qin’s country failed. This is Deng Pu’s biggest feeling now.
"It's obvious that someone inside us leaked the secret this time." Dai Shulun's eyes were fierce: "From Qin Feng's arrangement, he knew that we would definitely send troops this time, so he launched early to force the rebellion of Li Weigexiang, which forced the barbarians to send troops, which made our entire plan passive, but he bought time, General, this matter must be investigated to the end."
Deng Pu shook his head: "Tracking? How to track it down? I know who you doubt, but what evidence can you get? This action seems to be secret, but the Ming people really don't notice our large-scale action? Don't do useless actions. Even if you find out that they did it, there is no way to deal with them."
"Then let it go?"
"What else can it be done?" Deng Pu said lightly: "Even if Qin Feng has made arrangements and finally comes to the battlefield, he will still see the truth. Not to mention whether he has only arranged two battle camps in Shayang can block the attack of the Qi people. Even if he is here, will he have a chance of winning? After all, Qin Feng knew the secret of our launch and started the arrangement in advance. He only slightly regained some disadvantages and could not change his predicament. In the three battlefields, he only had an absolute advantage in Zhengyang County's battlefield. In other areas, whether in Shayang or us, he was at an absolute disadvantage. As long as he lost these two battlefields, how much effect can Zhengyang County play even if he wiped out the barbarians?"
Dai Shulun nodded: "What the General said is that the Qi people made up their minds this time and transferred Guo Xiancheng to Shayang to deal with the Ming army. It seems that they have to make a contribution to the battle. General, we must seize the time here, otherwise we will be the most powerful in the end and deal with Qin Feng's most powerful troops. Later, the biggest fruit will be allowed to go to Qi people."
"Shulun, you can go to Hulao Pass." Deng Pu looked at the map for a while.
Dai Shulun was shocked, "General, the prince means that Xiao Qiang will not be used in this battle."
"Father took it for granted." Deng Pu shook his head: "How could Xiao Qiang not be moved by such a delicious piece of fat? Since he has the heart to be independent, would he not send troops without his father's order? Moreover, the one in the palace would let him do this. Instead of doing this, it would be better for us to sell him for face and leave a gap for the future dealings between the two sides. Both sides have steps to go down, and there is room for things to be restored. Moreover, Xiao Qiang's imprisonment from Huzhu can also greatly increase our strength. No matter which direction he fights, isn't it our Qin State who will eventually benefit?"
Dai Shulun was silent for a moment, "General, if Xiao Qiang becomes independent, will the political situation of Qin return to the past?"
"It's okay." Deng Pu shook his head: "Xiao Qiang is not Bian Wushuang. He is innately deficient. Even if he becomes a force, he cannot pose too much threat to us. It's amazing that it's just a restraint. The important thing is that if we win this battle and win a large area of Ming Dynasty territory, our father will become Li Zhi's second. This is the most important thing."
"Okay, I'll go right away. General, what do you think of this battle?"
Deng Pu stared at the map, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his face: "The Ming army's Baoqing Camp has entered Longyou County. I want to attack us here. Longyou is a good place. Luo Yishui was drinking hatred here. Did the Ming people want to repeat this process? Hongshui and Jumu camps are rushing here. They want to decide the outcome with me here."
"What about us?"
"Of course Longyou has to fight, otherwise wouldn't it be a pity to keep such a Ming army behind us? But I don't want to waste too much time in Longyou. I want to seek a decisive battle with Qin Feng. If I defeat Qin Feng head-on, the game of chess will be alive." Deng Pu said.
"General Deng Su's heavy cavalry!" Dai Shulun's eyes lit up.
"No," Deng Pu nodded: "Deng Su's heavy cavalry will bypass Longyou and go directly to the decisive battle with Qin Feng's main force. To win this battle, everything will be a foregone conclusion."
"No one can stop our heavy cavalry." Dai Shulun was full of confidence in Deng Su's 20,000 heavy cavalry. "No matter how much the gains and losses of a city or a place, he directly attacked the most critical part of the enemy, and the general was smart."
Deng Pu smiled and said, "I want to see what Qin Feng uses to block our heavy cavalry, and what he uses to fight our heavy cavalry to the death in the wild!"
In Longyoucheng, Jiang Shangyan walked on the city wall with his two swords on his shoulders. The Baoqing Camp led by him arrived here half a month ago and began to prepare for the war.
"Do you know? In the last battle of Longyou, Mrs. Xiao broke into her house and was under the wall below. The silver piled up like a mountain. It was exciting to think about it!" He pointed to a place under the city wall and said to the surrounding generals.
The last battle of Longyou has become one of the most classic battles on this continent. Mrs. Xiao led only more than a thousand Xiao family members. The original three thousand county soldiers of Longyou were burning their boats and engaged in a shocking offensive and defensive battle with Luo Yishui. As a result, Luo Yishui was unable to take Longyou for a long time, and finally Qin Feng took a big advantage.
"It's our turn this time." A general smiled and said, "But we are not those county soldiers."
"But your enemy is not Luo Yishui's army!" Jiang Shangyan raised her eyebrows.
"The troops led by Luo Yishui at that time were not much worse than those of the Qin people. If Mrs. Xiao could defend it, we could of course also." The general retorted.
Jiang Shangyan laughed: "Okay, I admire your spirit very much. Oh, it's really funny to say that I, Jiang, took the salary from Chu, but was fighting for Ming."
The general reminded: "General, since this year, our equipment and salary have been paid by the Ming Dynasty. Your salary has been more than doubled. Haven't you noticed it?"
"Yes, I forgot this if you don't say it. Speaking of which, the salary of Ming Dynasty is really generous. Now many of our soldiers are afraid they are very happy!" Jiang Shangyan said.
"That's it. In the past, the salary could not be supported, but now it can be supported." The general smiled and said, "Every month when Changlong gets salary, he will send a special person to our camp to remit money for the soldiers!"
"What a pity, only half of the five thousand people who came with us at that time are left." Jiang Shangyan collapsed. "After this battle, I don't know how many people will die."
"General, even in Da Chu, it's the same now. I heard that our eastern border army has suffered a lot of losses, and several of the last generals have disappeared." The general also lowered his face. On the Eastern Front, the Chu army fought against the Qi army and suffered huge losses.
