Bastard’s Resurgence

After Lu Zheng captured Bingzhou, Tan Lei actually retracted into the capital. The reason he gave was that Su Zhi came from the south of the Yangtze River, and the capital might be unstable. He had to stabilize the situation in the capital before he could defend Beitu against the enemy.

In fact, his true intention is of course that he does not want to face Lu Zheng’s Liaodong cavalry. He hopes that Cao Weiming will stand in front, and even hopes that Lu Zheng is best to attack Hebei first. In this way, Tan Lei quickly dispatched troops to fight Lu Zheng in Hebei. .

I have to say that Tan Lei was right. It's just that he did a thousand calculations or miscalculated Cao Weiming. Cao Weiming was a man who saw the wind and turned the rudder. Seeing Tan Lei retreat, how could he go up? He immediately retreated to Hebei and couldn't get out of his body. With this, Tan Lei's situation was immediately embarrassing.

Lu Zheng's army was overwhelming. As the most powerful force in the Central Plains, Tan Lei couldn't ignore it, let alone escape. Immediately, he sent troops from the capital again, and he personally came to Hebei to join Cao Weiming.

After the two met, Tan Lei said, "Brother Cao, we are all at this time, we can't do our best! Who is Lu Zheng, you and I still don’t know? This time he is aggressive and powerful. If you and I are both powerful If you don’t work hard together, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Cao Weiming said: "Brother Tan, in the Central Plains, you are the master, and Cao is the only one looking forward to everything. So, if you say something, Cao will die. As long as the surname Lu suffers bad luck, I, Cao Weiming, is willing to take up all his wealth. !"

Cao Weiming's chest patted loudly, but where would Tan Lei take his words seriously? Tan Lei also understood the situation at the moment. Instead of relying on others, he should rely on himself. This time, there is no way to hide from the catastrophe. He can only go out and fight with Lu Zheng.

Thinking of this, he said: "Brother Cao, the enemy turned out to be very morale. Our victory in the first battle is particularly critical. Lu Zheng won Bingzhou and is confident. It is foreseeable that he will soon be able to win Miaocheng and Huazhou. , Miaocheng and Huazhou fell, the door to our Central Plains was completely opened.

It is a thousand miles away from Bingzhou to the capital. We must not let the surnamed Lu run like no one in this thousand li raids. If that is the case, you and my brothers are afraid to be laughed at by the people of the world! "

Cao Weiming nodded. Although he is very cunning, he also understands the priorities in his heart. It is good that he and Tan Lei have conflicts of interest, but the interests of the two are the same at the time of the enemy.

If Lu Zheng does not leave, the Central Plains cannot be peaceful. Cao Weiming occupies the land of Hebei. This is where the granary of the Central Plains is located. If Lu Zheng is really long | driving straight to the south, Hebei may be his first choice!

In this case, he can't be too sneaky. As long as Tan Lei is really determined to fight, he has to fight it out, or else he will really let Lu Zheng go south and succeed, and it is very likely that he will be the first to suffer.

I have to say that the external pressure is very strong. Cao Weiming and Tan Lei had a very harmonious atmosphere this time, and the relationship between the two parties was quickly consolidated and sublimated.

Both of them are heroes, and they both led soldiers. They are both very well-educated in military affairs. Tan Lei and Cao Weiming let the generals on both sides merge into one place, and then they cut off chicken heads, burned incense and worshipped the hands to form an alliance. The two do not seek to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month.

After this ceremony, Tan Lei was the elder brother, and Cao Weiming was the second brother. The two determined the love of the brothers, so they no longer separated you and me, but merged the army into one place and unified command and control. As a result, the momentum rose sharply.

The news reached Henan, and Henan Long Zhaoyan was very happy. He immediately sent an imperial commissioner to the labor force, and gave Tan Lei and Cao Weiming two golden beauties, respectively. Long Zhaoyan made an order in the name of the Dagan Dynasty. The emperor named Tan Lei as General Zhenyuan and Cao Weiming as General Fuwei. The two claimed to lead 300,000 soldiers, and wanted to hunt the Central Plains with Lu Zheng.

Tan Lei and Cao Weiming's army quickly moved north. They went all the way from Cangzhou to the north, passing Wangzhou, Beizhou, and then to Tanzhou. After arriving in Tanzhou, Tan Lei ordered the army to enter the city, and then raised the account:

"I just received the news that Lu Zheng is coming fiercely and has already taken Miaocheng. The soldiers are pointing at Huazhou. Huazhou is under my control. This is a battleground for military strategists!

For today's plan, we should let the cavalry move north quickly, and we must first consolidate the defense of Huazhou, and we must not allow Lu Zheng to easily take Huazhou! "

Cao Weiming frowned slightly and nodded: "Yes, Huazhou is indeed terrible. Song Wensong went south, he occupied Huazhou and then took the Central Plains! This time Lu Zheng wants to repeat the same tricks, we can't help but prevent it!"

Tan Lei looked around and shouted: "Dear generals, my second brother and I will be the vanguard if we are desperate, and we will occupy Huazhou first. Who dare to be the vanguard?"

When Tan Lei said this, several generals immediately came forward and asked for the battle. Tan Lei laughed and said, "Okay, good! This time our army is going out, morale is high, and the generals are brave enough to ask for it. This class of soldiers, why worry about the thieves in Liaodong not breaking? Second brother, Nilai chooses the generals, and you and my brothers jointly issue the military order!"

Cao Weiming said: "Big brother, Huazhou is the largest city below Miaocheng. This place controls the Central Plains in the south and Bingzhou in the north. The strategic position is extremely critical. The general generals may not be able to guard such an important position. The younger brother is willing to lead 30,000 horses to spend in person. The state, we must build a defense in Huazhou and prevent Lu Zheng from advancing half a step!"

Tan Lei was taken aback for a moment, and then he touched his palm: "The second brother is really a hero! In that case, there is nothing to say. The second brother can bring you more than 10,000 cavalry. I will allocate more than 10,000 cavalry to the second brother, totaling three. Wan cavalry quickly marched into Huazhou. The second brother must remember that the cavalry is in hand, and you cannot defend the city. If Lu Zheng dares to come, you must dare to attack and defend!"

Cao Weiming immediately clasped his fists and said: "Little brother saves it, but if you have difficulties, you must ask your eldest brother for help. Huazhou City is broken, I am willing to let the head fall!"

Seeing Cao Weiming so impassioned, Tan Lei was moved in his heart. He knew that Cao Weiming was not a fuel-efficient lamp. This time he took the initiative to ask for it and he was willing to go out. Now that the Central Plains is facing such a crisis, this time there is no room for selfishness. Gotta do it! "

"Second brother, don’t worry. If you guard Huazhou, I will go out of Beizhou. You and I will attack Huazhou from both sides. If Lu Zheng retreats, we will stick to it. Although his Liaodong army is coming fiercely, the rear is uneasy. It is the most embarrassing, long-term confrontation with us is extremely detrimental to him!

Therefore, we seem to be on the defensive, but if we guard well, Lu Zheng can’t attack the Central Plains. After we spend two months, he will only go back in despair, because once it is consumed for a long time, his food will be consumed. In addition, after Liaodong entered the winter, it was frozen for thousands of miles, so he would have no return! "Tan Lei said.

All the generals felt excited about Tan Lei's remark, and I have to say that Tan Lei is indeed a famous general. The two armies are fighting. He has thoroughly studied the pros and cons of both sides.

Lu Zheng came from Liaodong, all cavalry, strong and aggressive. However, Lu Zheng came from a long distance, food and grass were inadequate. In addition, Lu Zheng’s soldiers could not stay in the Central Plains for a long time, because once time passed, the north was frozen and the cavalry would be difficult to fight. At that time, Lu Zheng would be passive, so time is the key. As long as Tan Lei and Cao Weiming can hold on, Lu Zheng can only come back! "

Seeing everyone’s morale rising, Tan Lei said again: “Lu Zheng’s dispatch of troops this time is a desperate move. It seems that he is winning, but in fact it is just a gamble! Everyone knows that he sent troops to the Central Plains. The food road has been broken!

And the other food road in Liaodong is our Central Plains. How can the second brother provide food for Lu Zheng? Without food in Liaodong, even if Lu Zheng's army can retreat to Liaodong, he is afraid that half of his 100,000 horses will starve to death in the spring next year! As a result, Liaodong will inevitably collapse!

The Song family in the Northwest was injured after the First World War. It is estimated that within a year or a half, they will be able to recover slowly. At that time, we can join forces with the Song Family in the Northwest, and we will be able to move forward to the north and point directly to Liaodong and Liaodong. The conquest is just around the corner! "

"coax!"

Tan Lei said this, and many generals applauded. It turned out that Tan Lei had many children from Liaodong. Since Tan Lei’s army left Liaodong, they have been unable to return. They have been wandering outside for a long time, and it is a dry knife-and-blood business. Who doesn't feel homesick after a long time?

Under such circumstances, Tan Lei drew them a big pie and showed them the hope of going home, which undoubtedly greatly boosted their morale.

Seeing that the morale was available, Tan Lei was overjoyed, and immediately counted Cao Weiming's troops, and then Cao Weiming led 30,000 cavalry to Huazhou day and night.

When he arrived outside the Huazhou city, he ran into an army. Seeing that this army’s attire was the Liaodong Army, he was shocked and said: "The Liaodong Army has already come to Huazhou. Could it be that Huazhou has been lost? ?"

The strategist with the army looked at the army horse and immediately said: "The prince was panicked. There are not many men and horses. They are all Qingqi. They should be the scouts of the Liaodong Army. Huazhou should still be in our hands!"

As soon as Cao Weiming heard this, his heart was slightly relieved, and then he furiously said: "Wow, this Liaodong scout is so arrogant. A hundred men and horses dared to go deep into the city of Huazhou. It's really looking for death! Come on, Bring me a thousand soldiers and horses, and kill these Liaodong hybrids!"

When the counselor heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, it is important for us to occupy Huazhou first for this plan. This scout comes and goes like wind, we don't need to entangle with them, because it's not good for the district to delay the plan!"

Cao Weiming smiled and said, "Although you are right, but you don't know how to use soldiers, the way to use soldiers is morale! The first soldier's spirit determines the victory or defeat. More than a hundred people in this district can just sacrifice the flag for me. This battle can be won. , I have great hope in Zhongyuan!"

When Cao Weiming said this, he immediately arranged for the cavalry to quickly outflank it, and the Liaodong scout saw the local cavalry rushing forward. They were also brave and brave. They did not retreat but instead advanced. More than a hundred cavalry rushed forward. The first battle between the two sides was like this It's fighting!
