Chapter 1080 The Confident Wang Qi
Wei Guan saw Wang Qi's confidence so full of joy. He also knew that Wang Qi was the first strong general under Wu Qiu Jian. When Wu Qiu Jian went to Goguryeo twice, Wang Qi served as the vanguard, destroying cities and setting up villages, and gaining military achievements.
No wonder Wu Qiu Jian was attracted to him as a confidant. No one likes such an outstanding general. Unfortunately, Wang Qi was already instigated by Sima Yi, and instead became a nail buried beside Wu Qiu Jian. At the most critical moment, he gave Wu Qiu Jian a fatal blow.
This is similar to the Shu Kingdom's assassination of Wei Yan. Wei Yan was arrogant and intended to seize power, but Zhuge Liang's divine knowledge was calculated to hide Ma Dai, the undercover agent, was secretly beside him. It was a pity that Wei Yan was in disguise, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
People often compare Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, but there is nothing wrong with it. In terms of wisdom, Sima Yi is not inferior to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang can kill Wei Yan by himself, and Sima Yi can also decide Youzhou by himself. However, no matter how powerful a wise man is, he can only see ten steps away from playing chess. No one can truly see the end and master the end.
Sima Yi was able to handle Wu Qiu Jian, but could not control the overall situation in Youzhou. I am afraid that the current situation in Youzhou is not something he can control.
However, Wang Qi is a person that Wuqiu Jian and Sima Yi value, so there is no doubt about his ability. Now that he has taken the initiative to stand up, Wei Guan is of course more at ease. With Wang Qi as the chief of the enemy in the future, and with Gong Zun and Liu Mao, the enemy who retreated to Bingzhou is still not a big problem.
Wei Guan said: "I wonder how the governor of the king responded to the enemy?"
Wang Qi seemed to have considered this issue and said loudly: "Now the Bingzhou army is working far away and is rushing forward all the way. It is already the end of its strength. Although they arrived in Liangxiang, they remained silent. It was clearly a matter of rest and waiting for the subsequent team. We can take advantage of the opportunity of their own army to open the city to attack and kill this vanguard army first. The Bingzhou army must have been frightened when they heard about it and dare not invade our border again."
Wei Guan said with some concern: "According to the news, the one who served as the vanguard of Bingzhou Army this time is the Xiaoqi Camp. The Xiaoqi Camp has always been brave and good at fighting, and is known as the number one cavalry in the world. Is the governor Wang confident that he can win the battle?"
Wang Qi laughed and said, "Others are afraid of his cavalry in Bingzhou, but our cavalry in Liaodong is not afraid at all. The so-called number one cavalry in the world is just a high hat given to the cavalry camp by the world. Most of the opponents in the cavalry camp are just infantry, and they are not strong enough to win. However, our cavalry in Liaodong has been fighting with the Hu people for many years. They have experienced many battles and are extremely brave. A mere cavalry can definitely be defeated by fighting."
Wang Qi's confidence is not blind. Their cavalry is outside the frontier, and ordinary people fight with Hu people's cavalry. The combat ability of the cavalry is extremely strong, so there is no doubt that the number of troops is the Youzhou army, if we talk about the number of troops, the Youzhou army may be inferior to other state soldiers, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely not inferior, especially the cavalry, which is even more incomparable to other state soldiers.
This is also the main reason why Wang Qi trusts his cavalry. In his opinion, the cavalry in the Central Plains lacks good horses and combat experience. The reputation of the cavalry camp is not something he has ever known. If compared with their Liaodong cavalry, there is definitely a big gap.
This time, Wang Qi came to Jixian, but brought enough elite soldiers and generals under his command. In addition, Wu Qiu Jian's cavalry team was equipped with more than 20,000 cavalry under his command. In addition, the 5,000 cavalry led by Gong Zun and Liu Mao, their cavalry accounted for almost half of the soldiers and horses of Youzhou. In terms of quantity alone, Wang Qi was no longer afraid of the Bingzhou army.
Wei Guan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, according to the wishes of the King and the Governor of the King, immediately leave the city and annihilate the Bingzhou army. In this battle, we will rely on the Governor of the King and the Governor of the Gong, Liu. Our general led 20,000 infantry to leave the city to assist the battle as the Governor of the King."
It is said to be a helper in the war, but in fact, when the cavalry is fighting in front, the infantry team can at best shake flags and shout at the back. Even if they support it, the cavalry battalion will not only have all the meat, but also drink a few sips of soup. Infantry is behind, and almost no battle can be fought.
Of course, Wei Guan did not expect the infantry to be able to compete with the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army. The so-called battle is not just to help the cavalry in front and create momentum. There is another important function, which is to clean up the battlefield for the army in front and clean up the mess.
However, as long as he can defeat the Bingzhou army, Wei Guan would not worry about competing for this contribution. As the governor of Youzhou, he must start from the overall situation and retreating to the enemy troops in Bingzhou was the first thing he had to consider.
After confirming the plan for attack, the next step was to prepare nervously. Although the troops of each battalion were all in Youzhou, they were not stationed in the same military camp. It would take a certain amount of time to assemble all the 50,000 troops.
But the fighter's shots were fleeting. Now the first Xiaoqi camp to arrive in Liangxiang is entering the deep end. It is the best time for the Youzhou army to attack decisively and annihilate it in one fell swoop. If the battle time is delayed too long, when the subsequent troops of the Bingzhou army catch up, Wang Qi will not be sure of victory.
So they discussed and went to summon their own troops and horses, and Wang Qi went to summon their troops, while Gong Zun and Liu Mao went to summon their troops, and then left the city to meet in the south of the city. As for Wei Guan's infantry team, they were postponed to leave the city and followed the cavalry troops.
In Wang Qi's words, the infantry led by Wei Guan only needs to clean the battlefield. If you participate in the battle, you can avoid it. At the speed of the cavalry attack, these infantry can't count on anything they can do.
After the discussion was completed, Gong Zun and Liu Mao took the lead in leaving the city. Their army was originally stationed outside the city, but one was stationed outside the East City Gate and one was stationed outside the West City Gate. They left the Governor's Mansion and went their separate ways. One rushed to the East City Gate and the other rushed to the West City Gate. After joining their respective troops, they immediately ordered to go around the city and rushed to the south gate of Ji County to meet with Wang Qi's large group of troops.
Wang Qi's team was stationed in the city, so Wang Qi did not need to leave the city. With his order, the cavalry battalion immediately gathered. The cavalry in Liaodong could be used to fighting and had strict military discipline. After a gathering order, there was no drag on the mud. Wang Qi led the 20,000 cavalry to storm the south of Ji County, met with the cavalry of Gong Zun Liu Mao who had already been waiting outside the city, and immediately ran towards Liangxiang.
