Chapter 1598: War Book


    Chapter 1596: The Book of War


    Zhu Tianpeng was helpless to make such arrangements. After all, after the Qi army encountered a water attack, although there were still 25,000 troops left, his morale had fallen to the bottom and he could not exert his combat power.


    In this state, even if the Qi army continues to go north, it is definitely not a match for the Qin army. Instead of running over to give up the head, it is better to go back and repair it to restore combat power.


    The reason why the navy was left was because only the navy was not severely damaged by the water attack and its morale was basically not greatly affected. It was because Zhu Tianpeng''s only army that could fight hard battles.


    Li Jing, who returned to Beihai, thought Zhu Tianpeng would retreat when he saw the difficulties, but he also learned that the Qi army did not retreat all, but instead left behind ten thousand naval troops. He was extremely surprised.


    The war has reached this point, but the Qi army has actually been completely defeated. After all, even if Wang Mang defeated Li Jing, Qi would not be able to take over the Beihai alone. What''s more, even if the two sides join forces, they may not necessarily conquer the Beihai. Therefore, timely retreat is the best way to stop loss.


    But Zhu Tianpeng not only did not retreat, but also left behind 10,000 naval troops, but did not continue to go north to provoke the Qin army. Even Li Jing did not understand his intentions for a while.


    After thinking for a long time, Li Jing felt that the reason why Zhu Tianpeng did not retreat was probably because the Qi army lost too much in this battle. If he just retreated in shame, he would be too shameless. How could he convince his subordinates in the future?


    Therefore, leaving behind ten thousand navy troops is just a show of being a good person, just to preserve the last face.


    As soon as he thought of this, Li Jing couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Zhu Tianpeng didn''t come to provoke him, he would naturally not be idle and would take the initiative to offend the other party.


    "The Qi army is no longer worth worrying, but we must not be careless about these ten thousand naval troops."


    Li Jing was as cautious as ever and immediately ordered: "Send more spies to the direction of the Yellow River, and be sure to ensure that the movements of these ten thousand navy troops are under the control of our army."


    "No."


    Seeing this, Li Jing nodded and asked left and right: "Have Wang Mang and Sha Roller Blind meet?"


    Jintai stood up and reported: "I reported to the prefect, just the day before the prefect returned, the army of sand-rolled curtains had arrived in Liang State and merged with Wang Mang."


    "Okay, since that''s the case, then just write a letter of war to Wang Mang."


    A glimmer flashed in Li Jing''s eyes and he sneered: "Seven days later, the entire army of this prefect will fight against Wang Mang''s army head-on at the junction of Liangshan and Beihai, and decide the outcome in one battle."


    As soon as this statement came out, all the generals were shocked. Taishici stood up and asked, "Sir, Prefect? ??Is this a decisive battle? Don''t you make more preparations?"


    All the generals nodded when they heard this. After all, although the Qin army won two games in a row, their overall strength was still weaker than Wang Mang''s Hebei United Army. It would be a bit too hasty to fight this decisive battle.


    "Preparation? What preparation should I do."


    Li Jing laughed and then explained: "Wang Mang''s 80,000 troops are just patchwork troops. His overall qualities are uneven. How strong can he exert his combat power?


    Although our army has only 60,000 troops, of which more than 20,000 are surrendered, they have been defeated by Liangshan and Qi. Now that morale has reached its peak, even if we face the final battle head-on, we will never lose. So when will we not fight at this time? ”


    Hearing Li Jing say this, the generals showed a sudden look. It turned out that before they knew it, through the previous two battles, the strength comparison between the enemy and us had turned upside down, and even if they were in a head-on battle, the Qin army was not timid at all.


    "But the prefect, will Wang Mang respond?" Ran Min asked.


    “Yes.”


    A strange look flashed in Li Jing''s eyes and he said confidently: "This is Wang Mang''s only opportunity. If our army defends to the death, it would be impossible to capture Beihai City with the 80,000 troops pieced together by Wang Mang. Therefore, this is Wang Mang''s only opportunity, and he will definitely face it.


    What''s more, Wang Mang holds an army of 80,000, and his troops are 20,000 more than our army. If he is afraid of war, he will definitely be ridiculed by the people of the Northern Han in the future, which is also a good thing for our army. ”


    —————


    Liangshanbo, within the camp of the Northern Han United Army. Looking at Li Jing’s war book in his hand, Wang Mang’s face was so wonderful.


    Half a month ago, the coalition forces were crushing Li Jing, but during the period of Wang Mang and other Shakuan army, Li Jing used his ultimate strategy to defeat Zhu Tianpeng with water attacks, and only more than 250,000 Qi troops were left.


    Although Wang Mang has 80,000 joint troops on his side, he also knows that the combat power of the patchwork army is definitely not as good as Zhu Tianpeng''s 70,000 elite troops.


    Therefore, among the Anti-Qin coalition forces, Zhu Tianpeng is undoubtedly the hardest hard bone, and Wang Mang is relatively the soft persimmon.


    As for common sense, even if Li Jing wants to deal with it, he will definitely deal with Wang Mang first and then the stronger Qi army.


    But Li Jing did not take the ordinary path, and let the weaker Wang Mang not fight, but instead went to deal with the stronger Zhu Tianpeng first, and crossed the Yellow River four times and flooded the Qi army, and defeated the stronger Qi army.


    In this regard, Wang Mang only wants to say one thing: This is too fierce.


    In just one month, Li Jing first fought against the 40,000 troops of Liangshan with 30,000 troops, wiped out the main force of Liangshan and killed Song Jiang, and then fought against the 70,000 Qi army with 5,000 naval troops, crossed the Yellow River four times, flooded the Qi Kingdom, and finally defeated Zhu Tianpeng.


    This record is simply a fortress!


    Li Jing has simply brought the war plan to the extreme. Even Bai Qi and Han Xin may not be able to do as easy as him.


    Faced with Li Jing''s proactive challenge, Wang Mang was still a little nervous. After all, he had already lost to Bai Qi before, so he is of course afraid that he will lose to Li Jing again.


    If you lose again this time, Wang Mang may really have no chance to rise, so of course you must be cautious and cautious.


    "Qingzhi, do you think Li Jing''s letter of war, should we accept it or not?" Wang Mang asked with a serious look on his face.


    "catch."


    Chen Qingzhi nodded helplessly and said in a deep voice: "This is the only opportunity for our army to defeat Li Jing. If we don''t accept it, once Li Jing defends Beihai to the death, even with his current troops, he may not be able to defeat Beihai."


    "But if you accept it, can you win?"


    "This... although there are 30,000 new soldiers among our 80,000 troops, there are 20,000 surrendered troops among the 60,000 troops of the Qin army, if there are 20,000 surrendered troops in real battle, our army''s chances of winning are 60%.


    "But the Qin army defeated Liangshan and Qi army in a row, and now the morale is probably reaching its peak. At this time, the decisive battle with the Qin army may suffer a loss."


    Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi didn''t know what to say, after all, he was sure to suffer a loss.


    "Report to the lord, a man from Qi State came from the King of Qi."


    “Support it quickly.”


    After taking apart, Wang Mang''s face changed suddenly, and then he showed ecstasy and said, "Why didn''t I expect it?"


    "My lord, what did you think of?" Chen Qingzhi asked.


    Wang Mang did not answer, and smiled mysteriously, "I, Wang Mang, received Li Jing''s letter of war, and I will send the order. Seven days later, the entire army will attack and fight to the death with Li Jing."


    ?Once upcoming, there is still, later
