Chapter 1581: Sweeping Liangshan (middle)
The movements of the 25,000 army march were difficult to hide even if they wanted to hide them, but Li Jing also had the means 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 abandonment of all county towns and moved the people to clear the walls and solid areas, and acted as if he wanted to defend the 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 act of dividing troops out could be explained in order to relocate and protect materials.
But in fact, the migration of the people and the handling of a large amount of materials were all to cover up the Qin army''s actions.
Li Jing divided the 25,000 troops into ten teams, each with 2,500 troops, and went to each county with great fanfare to confuse and paralyze Song Jiang and Liangshan troops, but at night, he quietly left the city and reassembled on the border.
In just two days, 25,000 Qin troops were quietly assembled at the border, but the main force of the Qin army in Song Jiang''s eyes was still continuing to transport supplies and migrate the people to the North Sea.
"Sir, there is no movement in the Liangshan Bureau, and Song Jiang did not notice it. What do you think we should fight next?" Qin Ming asked excitedly.
“The Liangshan Army is now divided into two parts, one with ten thousand people, and is stationed in Liangshan, the base camp.
Most of this army is recruited, and it does not pose much threat to our army. You can leave it alone for the time being. ”
At this point, a trace of coldness flashed in Li Jing''s eyes and he continued, "Our goal this time is to 30,000 main forces stationed outside Liangshan."
Song Jiang''s Liang State takes Liangshan City as the core and radiates little by little to the surrounding areas. After so many years of battle, it has occupied more than one county in Qingzhou and has more than 300,000 people, so naturally it also needs troops to garrison.
Liangshan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Song Jiang only left 10,000 troops, while Liangshan was divided into 30,000 troops, so naturally, the purpose of defending the difficult-to-be-captured territory.
"Wang Mang will arrive in Qingzhou in the latest half month. Once they are allowed to join the Liangshan Army, it will be difficult to seriously damage the Liangshan Army, so they must be defeated before Wang Mang''s army arrives."
Ran Min and other generals all showed a solemn look when they heard this. If Wang Mang really came so quickly, the difficulty of this battle would be extraordinary.
Twenty-five thousand Qin troops, it is not difficult to defeat 30,000 Liangshan troops, but the difficulty lies in the difficulty. Liangshan troops are scattered and stationed everywhere.
No matter how fast the Qin army moves, it is impossible to fight the entire Liang State within half a month and eliminate the main force of the Liangshan Army. At most, it can only destroy a Liangshan Army, and this has no big impact on the overall situation.
Wang Mang''s army will arrive in Qingzhou in half a month, and the Qin army will have to withdraw its troops by then. After all, Liangshanpo is not that easy to fight, and the Qin army will not be able to consume troops in siege.
Therefore, it seems that it is impossible to defeat the main force of the Liangshan Army in one battle!
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Ming couldn''t help but hold his head and whine in frustration: "How to fight this battle? Unless Song Jiang assembles the army and then actively hits the blade of our army."
All the generals agreed with this, and looked at Li Jing in confusion. They obviously did not understand Li Jing''s intention to send troops even though he knew that he wanted to send troops. Is it just to annihilate a Liangshan army? But this is meaningless at all.
Li Jing smiled mysteriously when he saw this, and said, "General Qin Ming, you are right. This prefect wants 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 in the air."
Ran Minze looked thoughtful, then he couldn''t help but grow his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Master Prefect, is it..."
Li Jing didn''t expect Ran Min to guess so quickly. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and said with a smile: "That''s right, General Ran Min, just what you think." Seeing that the two of them were only halfway through their words, the generals were a little confused, Qin Ming hurriedly asked, "What do you care about this? Can you explain it clearly?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Ran Min''s face, and he sneered: "Song Jiang is not very capable of leading the army in war, but he is still cautious.
Once we know that our army will attack on the initiative, with Song Jiang''s caution, he may abandon the territory outside Liangshan and lead the army to hide directly into Liangshan and defend it until Wang Mang''s army arrives. ”
Hearing Li Jing say this, Taishi Ci frowned and asked, "Brother Ran, Song Jiang is also a prince after all, and he has more troops than us. He shouldn''t be so cowardly, right?"
"No, Ziyi, Song Jiang is not as tough as you think."
Ran Min said with a confident look: "Anyway, as long as Wang Mang''s reinforcements arrive, our army will have to withdraw. Therefore, giving up the city other than Liangshan will not suffer any loss for Song Jiang. Fighting with our army alone will take risks.
Ziyi, if you were Song Jiang, what would you choose? ”
Hearing this, Taishi Ci also showed a sudden look and said in surprise: "If you say so..."
“That’s right.”
Seeing that Taishi Ci also saw it, a hint of relief flashed in Li Jing''s eyes, and then he smiled and said, "If Song Jiang wants to retreat to Liangshan, he will definitely let the army gather, and that is our only opportunity."
Qin Ming was completely confused. Although he was still a little confused, he just felt very powerful.
Ran Min and Taishi Ci looked at Li Jing with admiration. The prefect''s understanding of Song Jiang is probably no less than that of Song Jiang himself.
At the same time, when Song Jiang checked the news about the Qin army on a daily basis, he couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing abnormal happened.
"The imperial army is about to arrive in half a month. Your Majesty promised that when Li Jing''s troops are eliminated, Beihai County will return to our Liang State. By then, our Liang State will definitely increase its strength."
Song Jiang burst into laughter, but what he didn''t know was that Zhu Tianpeng also wanted Beihai County and sent 70,000 troops to fight for it, so even if Li Jing was eliminated, Beihai County would not be owned by Liangshan.
"Lord, Li Jing''s reaction is a bit abnormal." Wu Yong frowned.
When Song Jiang heard this, his heart suddenly became terrified and he asked quickly, "Why is something wrong?"
After pondering for a while, Wu Yong sighed, "I can''t say it, it just doesn''t feel like Li Jing''s style. In short, it''s better to be more cautious."
Of course, Li Jing 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, who has an intelligence of 98, there is obviously a big gap.
Wu Yong just felt that Li Jing''s style of conduct had changed. After all, the situation facing the Qin army was in an enemy situation, and it was completely in line with common sense that he would react like this.
