Chapter 221 Attack Deployment
Wang Ruxin brought good news, and Li Fengyun was very happy. Although Wang Ruxin did not introduce the fierce debate between Zhai Rang and Wagang brothers for making this decision, from Xu Shiyi and Fang Xianbo did not participate in this public raising the flag, it can be guessed that the contradictions within Wagang were already very deep. Even if the opposing sides did not break or cut off their robe, they would definitely be strangers in the short term. If Zhai Rang and others get worse in the future, they will inevitably part ways in the end, and even brothers are not allowed to do it.
Li Fengyun could understand Zhai Rang's difficulties. Zhai Rang was a loyal elder brother. He paid great attention to principles in his work and life, and shared his blessings and shared his difficulties. He was equal, but his ideals were not the same as reality. There was no real fairness and justice in this world. As a result, things went against others' wishes. In the end, Zhai Rang had to surrender to the survival crisis of the Wagang people and resolutely raised the flag to rebel. This move was extremely risky, and no one knew whether most of the Wagang brothers who had become thieves could survive because of this. However, a few Wagang people who were still seeking life in Baidao would inevitably fall into a survival crisis because of this. Therefore, Zhai Rang could not take into account the interests of all brothers no matter how he did. Openly raising the flag to rebel was actually just a helpless choice with more harm than good. As the boss of the Wagang brothers, Zhai Rang suffered unprecedented pressure.
"This battle focuses on attacking, the two armies work together, the general attacks and forcing the Ji River. We Wagang will support Wei Yunqi on the southern line. If we Wagang fail to achieve our intention to restrain, the general will pay a heavy price on the Ji River." Wang Ruxin's eyes flashed and he felt guilty, but in the face of the facts, he had to do his best to safeguard the interests of Wagang. "We Wagang have very limited troops and are seriously lacking in weapons. We have no chance of winning when attacking Wei Yunqi from the front. Once an accident occurs, we fail to achieve the goal of supporting, it will be a great crime."
Wang Ruxin’s meaning is very straightforward, he needs money, food, and weapons.
Li Fengyun smiled and nodded, but did not make a promise immediately. It was impossible to ask the horse to run and not eat grass. Besides, the Wagang Army is a thousand-mile horse. Li Fengyun is willing to be a mentor and take it for himself. Of course, it would cost him. However, giving money, food and weapons would not allow the Wagang Army to be reborn immediately and soar in strength, nor would it help the Wagang Army firmly restrain Wei Yunqi on the south bank of the Jishui River.
"I can give you everything you need." Li Fengyun calmly put forward the conditions, "But can you give me a guarantee that the Wagang Army can effectively restrain Wei Yunqi on the south bank of the Jishui River?"
Wang Ruxin looked slightly stagnant and hesitated for a long time, but he did not dare to make a guarantee. If it were about robbing, killing people and robbing people, all the troops in Wagang dared to slap their chests and not leaving the crowd, but if the two armies were fighting in front of the battlefield, the Wagang people would not dare to be heroic. Robbery and war were completely different. Cylindering a ship and a caravan was completely incomparable to attacking an army of thousands of people. With the current strength of the Wagang army, they did not dare to make the promises Li Fengyun needed.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. Li Fengyun, Yuan An, Xiao Yi, Li Mi, Zhen Baoche, Huo Xiaohan, Xu Shisan and others looked at each other with a serious expression. Wang Ruxin could not guarantee that things would be troublesome and this battle would be difficult to fight.
"General, it's not that the Wagang people dare not fight, but that they are indeed ineffective. If they make random promises, they will probably ruin the general's plan." Wang Ruxin was embarrassed and ashamed, and was even more worried that he would be misunderstood by the alliance brothers, so he was eager to give a detailed explanation.
Li Fengyun was a little disappointed and immediately thought about countermeasures. He couldn't blame the Wagang people for this matter, but he only blamed himself for his optimistic estimate of the strength of the Wagang Army. Although he was even worse when he raised the flag in Mangdang Mountain, he took advantage of "unexpected the enemy and unprepared the enemy" at that time. In addition, Fei Huai, the general of Yongcheng Yingyanglang, and Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaogu, both underestimated the enemy too much, which gave him the opportunity to "make a big splash". The situation is different now, the rebel army is becoming increasingly popular, and the alliance has become the target of public criticism, while the official army is cautious, fearing that "losing Jingzhou by carelessness". It is conceivable that if Zhai Rang faces Wei Yunqi at this moment, he will definitely not be able to get any advantage.
"Do you dare to fight?" Li Mi looked at Wang Ruxin with a bright look and asked.
"If the people of Wagang dare not fight, they would not come." Wang Ruxin felt quite humiliated in the face of Li Mi's aggressive questioning.
"Does General Zhai have the courage to fight with his back?" Li Mi shouted without hesitation and shouted sternly
Wang Ruxin was angry. My Wagang people raised the flag to rebel, originally wanted to find a way out, but wanted to rely on your alliance with this big tree to make a living, rather than to come and seek death. To put it bluntly, your "burning the boat and fighting with the water" means to die together, and both jade and stones are burned? In this case, why should I raise the flag to rebel? Then it would be better to retreat to the river and continue to kill people and rob people and get involved in the underworld. Although you have been a thief all your life, it is better to live without a chance to die.
Wang Ruxin still had a trace of rationality and did not dare to speak nonsense. He just glared at Li Mi. Seeing that he did not speak, Li Mi was even more angry and continued to chase him, "Since General Zhai has the courage to raise the flag to rebel, why don't he have the courage to fight to the death with Wei Yunqi?"
The atmosphere in the tent became increasingly tense. Although Yuan An and other alliance officials despised the fear of the Wagang people, everyone developed from the weak, and could understand the current difficulties of the Wagang people, so they had no intention of coercing the Wagang people. Only Li Mi was aggressive, which made Yuan An and others quickly noticed the abnormal changes in Li Mi's emotions and became a little vigilant about his unpredictable intentions. Li Mi's origin was very mysterious, but Li Fengyun trusted him and valued him. In addition, Li Fengyun's origin was even more mysterious, so the alliance officials accepted Li Mi after a little thought, but were very careful about him.
In fact, Li Mi did not want to show "outstanding", but there was no way. When the situation developed to this point, Li Fengyun and the main force of the alliance had already advanced to the north bank of the Jishui River. The arrow had been put on the string and had to be fired. As long as this arrow was fired, it would inevitably cause severe damage to Wei Yunqi, and it would inevitably change the political situation in the Dongdu and the Central Plains. Therefore, Li Mi had to promote this battle at any cost. However, if his plan wanted to achieve it, he could only rely on the support of the rebel army, and the rebel army was not under his control, which seriously restricted his hands and feet, making him feel that he had nowhere to use his strength, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
In a hurry, Li Mi could not find a countermeasure, so he could only threaten the Wagang army. As long as the Wagang army could launch an attack on the south bank of the Jishui River according to the plan and restrain Wei Yunqi, then Li Fengyun would definitely cross the river to attack. Although the loss of the alliance might be much greater than expected, Li Mi was sure to win this battle, and this was the confidence of Li Mi to aggressively coerce the Wagang army.
Under Li Mi's pressure, Wang Ruxin became more and more guilty, sweating in cold sweat, and his face looked very ugly. The Wagang Army had already reached the old Yellow River road, only a few dozen miles away from the battlefield, and it was also an arrow that had to be fired. However, the Wagang Army had its own interests and did not want to die in vain. However, the Alliance wanted to fight Wei Yunqi now and wanted the Wagang Army to cooperate. If the Wagang Army disobeyed and let the Alliance suffer a great loss on the battlefield, the two sides would inevitably turn against each other and form a deadly enemy. This would be a disaster for the Wagang Army. Therefore, at this moment, Wang Ruxin was in a dilemma and could no longer help, so he could only seek help from Li Fengyun.
Li Mi opened her mouth and tried to continue to coerce and tempt, but Li Fengyun decisively raised her hand to stop her. Li Fengyun had a special relationship with the Wagang army and the Wagang brothers. At this critical moment, Li Fengyun would never sacrifice the interests of the Wagang people and put the Wagang army to death.
Li Mi was anxious, "General, the two sides of the Ji River are in tension, the war is about to break out, we have no time left
Li Fengyun shook his hand at him and signaled him to be calm.
"Where is General Manager Lu now?" Li Fengyun looked at Yuan An.
Yuan An stood up and walked to the map, pointing to the east bank of the Bian River, "According to the latest news, General Manager Lu has led the Second Army to Kuraguchi today, and the First Alliance Army is deploying defenses in the north of Kuraguchi."
Cangyuan is fifty miles away from the Alliance's headquarters, forty miles from Junyi City, and sixty miles from Chenliu. As for the Jishui battle, Cangyuan's location is very important. Only by controlling Cangyuan's city can the alliance army block the official troops of Yu Junyi and Chenliu from the front, effectively protect the safety behind the Alliance's headquarters, and ensure that the main force of the alliance force crosses the Jishui River without any worries.
"Where is General Manager Meng?"
"General Manager Meng has arrived at Xiaohuang City and is commanding the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Army to deploy defenses along the Bian River to restrain and block the official troops of Yu Junyi, Chenliu and Yongqiu City."
Li Fengyun thought for a moment, turned to Li Mi, "Adjust the attack deployment, the feint attack on the southern front turned to the main attack, and the main attack on the northern front turned to the feint attack. A certain leader led the main force of the alliance to advance eastward, crossed the river from Jiyang direction northward, met the Wagang army on the former Yellow River road, and then joined forces to launch an attack on Wei Yun."
Li Mi immediately understood Li Fengyun's intention, and his eyes lit up. Then he said, "Transfer General Manager Lu and the First Army, the Second Army enter the north bank of the Ji River to cross the river to attack; transfer the Seventh Army of the Alliance to station in Cangyuan; order General Manager Meng to command the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army to cross the Tongji Canal while surrounding Xiaohuangcheng, and launch a feint attack on Chenliu to attract the attention of the officials in Junyi and Yongqiu cities and ensure the safety of the Ji River battlefield."
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became active, and Yuan An and other alliance officials immediately discussed the specific details, while Wang Ruxin was even more smiling, ecstatic, and was particularly grateful to Li Fengyun.
