Facing Liu Wuzhou again, Li Hongyun was full of confidence.

With the blessing of golden talent, he can charge into battle and strategize.

However, the script did not develop exactly as he imagined.

Liu Wuzhou sent his subordinate Yuchi Jingde to challenge, but Li Hongyun still followed the King of Qin's route and maintained a stalemate with strong walls and cleared the country. At the same time, he sent his rangers to harass Liu Wuzhou's grain roads.

However, Yuchi Jingde led Liu Wuzhou's cavalry and beat up the cavalry sent by Li Hongyun. Zong Luohu only escaped with his life.

Li Hongyun was speechless, what's going on!

This Yuchi Jingde is too fierce!

Li Hongyun had no idea how to catch Yuchi Jingde.

He had no choice but to watch the key battle in which King Qin conquered this SSR door god again: the Battle of Meiliangchuan.

In the original history, King Qin was originally stationed in Baibi to fight Liu Wu and Zhou's army. At the same time, Lu Chongmao of Xia County rebelled, so Liang Gaozu sent King Yong'an to attack Lu Chongmao.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chongmao asked Liu Wuzhou for help, and Yuchi Jingde led his army southward. King Yong'an was defeated in Xia County because he neglected to take precautions. All important officials, including King Yong'an and the Minister of Industry, were captured.

The entire Liang Army heavy group in Xia County was wiped out, and many of them were Liang Army troops drawn from other battlefields.

At this time, Liang Jun was at a comprehensive disadvantage. The King of Qin stationed in Baibi had only two choices: either passive defense and sending part of his troops south to Puzhou to rebuild the defense line, or active attack.

The risk of taking the initiative to attack is naturally very high, because at this time, he has only about 30,000 troops. If he divides his troops and goes south, if Song Jingang suddenly mobilizes heavy troops to attack with all his strength, Baibi will also be broken through, and the situation of Liang Jun will be

It was a total collapse.

But if we are passively defensive, the prospects will obviously not be very good. There will be no problems in the short term, but we will not be able to reverse the decline.

Therefore, King Qin chose to take the initiative to attack.

He did not rush forward rashly, but calculated that when Yuchi Jingde returned to join forces with Song Jingang, he would definitely take the Meiliang River.

Therefore, the King of Qin set up an ambush in Meiliangchuan. Two generals, Yin Kaishan and Qin Shubao, who were good at cavalry, suppressed Yuchi Jingde and defeated him in Meiliangchuan. More than two thousand people were killed.

A large number of prisoners of war and baggage were taken away.

From then on, it can be said that Yuchi Jingde was beaten by the King of Qin every time he met him. Until Liu Wuzhou's situation was over, he had no choice but to surrender to the King of Qin and was reused.

After some analysis, Li Hongyun fell into silence.

Judging from the standard answer given by the King of Qin, if you want to kill Liu Wuzhou, you must first kill Song Jingang; if you want to kill Song Jingang, you must first kill Yuchi Jingde.

How to kill Yuchi Jingde?

Not only must they ambush him accurately, but they must also have two generals who are good at cavalry to suppress him.

Because Yuchi Jingde himself was the top cavalry general, it was not safe for only one person to ambush him.

The King of Qin sent two top cavalry generals, Yin Kaishan and Qin Shubao.

But here comes the problem, these two people are not under Li Hongyun now...

Moreover, it is impossible for Li Hongyun to ambush Yuchi Jingde in Meiliangchuan again, because in this world line, he did not abandon Jinyang, so the battle lines between the two sides are completely different from those in history.

"It seems that if you want to conquer this door god, I still have to do it myself..."

Liu Wuzhou must be captured, otherwise Li Hongyun will not be able to seize the opportunity to attack Wang Shichong from the King of Qin; Yuchi Jingde must also be captured. This person will play a key role in the Xuanwu Gate Incident and cannot be given up.

Give it to King Qin.

Li Hongyun looked at the map. At this time, his army occupied Jinyang and Yuci at the same time. These two locations were to the west and south of Huangsheling respectively, showing a faint trend of encirclement.

Moreover, Jinyang and Yuci are strongholds that have been operating for a long time, so the city defense is relatively reliable.

However, the terrain of Huangsheling is higher, so it is more advantageous to be from a higher position. It is definitely not a good strategy to attack hastily.

Therefore, whoever takes the initiative to attack will gain nothing, and a long-term confrontation between the two sides is a foregone conclusion.

However, during the confrontation, both sides would continue to send cavalry to harass each other. At this time, Li Hongyun did not have a cavalry general who could defeat Yuchi Jingde.

Even if Li Hongyun takes action in person, he may not be sure of defeating Yuchi Jingde.

It would be better to be like the King of Qin and set up an ambush on Yuchi Jingde's only path, and then concentrate on superior forces and his most capable cavalry generals to completely defeat him in one battle.

Where is Yuchi Jingde’s only path at this time?

Li Hongyun continued to follow the map and looked northwest.

Judging from the territory at this time, the Liang Dynasty obviously occupied the largest territory, and Liu Wuzhou's base of Mayi was due north of Jinyang.

During the stalemate between the two armies, they can harass each other's food routes, or... they can attack from behind!

This is how King Qin fought in the Battle of Baibi.

After the defeat of Yuchi Jingde at Meiliangchuan, Liang Jun won consecutive battles and his morale was high. His subordinates persuaded him to fight Song Jingang immediately.

But the King of Qin refused, saying that Song Jingang had won consecutive battles and his army was at its peak, and it was not yet time for a decisive battle.

He sent generals westward across the Luliang Mountains and penetrated directly into Jiexiu and Mengmen Pass, thus cutting off Song Jingang's food route.

The stalemate continued until Song Jingang's food supply was exhausted and the morale of the army was shattered. Then he decisively attacked and chased for hundreds of miles. The outcome was decided in one battle.

Therefore, Li Hongyun naturally thought of this method.

Although his entire front line moved northward at this time, and the two sides faced each other at Jinyang and Yuci, Li Hongyun could also cross Luliang and go north, detouring back to the rear of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's army, trying to isolate them from the logistics and food routes of Mayi.

Judging from the map, when King Qin was confronting Baibi, Song Jingang's supply line was longer and food was consumed faster, so this method was more likely to work.

At this time, Li Hongyun was facing Jinyang, Yuci, Liu Wuzhou, and Song Jingang's supply lines were much shorter.

But Li Hongyun's advantage was that he had never experienced the defeat of Jinyang. He had far more soldiers than the King of Qin, giving him a numerical advantage.

Moreover, Ma Yi is Liu Wuzhou's hometown, which will cause great psychological pressure to the opponent when attacking.

When the time comes, Song Jingang will most likely send Yuchi Jingde back to rescue him, and if he ambush Yuchi Jingde on the road, he will probably win in a single battle!

After confirming the plan, Li Hongyun immediately started planning.

At this time, he already had the blessing of golden talent, so arranging his troops on the march map, everything went smoothly.

The so-called art of war actually lies in the details.

It is useless to memorize Sun Tzu's Art of War thoroughly, because no matter how many military theories the average person masters, they will never be used in actual combat and are just talk on paper.

But now that Li Hongyun has the blessing of talent, he is familiar with all the details of the plan, and has made preparations for various emergencies in advance.

Therefore, he left the main force to guard Jinyang and Yuci and refused to go to war. Instead, he personally led a partial army across the Luliang Mountains and made a long-distance attack on Liu Wuzhou's base camp, Mayi.

It didn't go well the first time, but it doesn't matter, Li Hongyun can come again.

The second time, he successfully avoided Liu Wuzhou's army and made a surprise attack on Mayi. Liu Wuzhou was shocked and sent Yuchi Jingde to lead the cavalry to quickly return for reinforcements.

As a result, he happened to break into the ambush set by Li Hongyun on the way. After a fierce battle, Yuchi Jingde was defeated.

Seeing that the army's logistics were in danger of being completely cut off, Liu Wuzhou had no choice but to leave Song Jingang behind and return first.

Li Hongyun led his army into a fierce battle with Liu Wuzhou. At this time, the generals in Jinyang and Yuci decisively attacked when they saw the enemy retreating.

It's just that these generals are obviously far behind compared with the King of Qin.

The King of Qin was able to seize the opportunity of Song Jingang's retreat. He fought eight times a day, did not eat for two days, did not disarm for three days, and chased Song Jingang for hundreds of miles, beating Song Jingang until he was unable to fight back.

But these generals obviously did not have the decisiveness of King Qin, so they could only stay behind Song Jingang's army.

Of course, Li Hongyun did not force them to advance at a faster pace. On the contrary, he warned them not to advance rashly.

Because these generals are not as capable as King Qin, they would be in trouble if they were ambushed by Song Jingang.

Therefore, the two sides were entangled all the way, and Li Hongyun suddenly went south and blocked the army of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang at Loufan.

In this battle, Li Hongyun rode a horse on the front line to direct the battle, and his arrows were all fired. The morale of Liang's army was greatly boosted. After gathering superior forces, he completely defeated Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang.

The two men fled north with the remaining soldiers, thinking that they could not defend Mayi, so they fled in the direction of the Turks.

The Turks sent a cavalry to respond, and Li Hongyun decisively led his army to defeat them. He surrendered the Turkic cavalry and incorporated them into his own army.

Yuchi Jingde saw that the situation was over, and under Li Hongyun's persuasion, he finally came to seek refuge.

The north of the Liang Dynasty was completely pacified, and the base camp of Jinyang was firmly in the hands of the Liang Dynasty.

Historically, the Liang army in Jinyang had an advantage in numbers and logistics, and it was the place where the Liang Dynasty raised its troops. There was no reason for it to be lost so easily.

However, the King of Qi's nonsense and the ineffective fighting of the subsequent supporting generals almost forced the Liang Dynasty into a desperate situation. In the end, it was up to the King of Qin to turn the tide.

In this timeline, the King of Qi, played by Li Hongyun, used superior troops to win the battle that should have been won.

After this battle, Li Hongyun sent someone to compose "The Music of the King of Qi Breaking the Formation" to promote his heroic deeds in strategizing and defeating the enemy.

Although it was a bit forceful, after all, he defeated Xue Ju, Liu Wu, Zhou Song and Jingang, and successively defeated the major enemies in two directions for the Liang Dynasty.

However, when the King of Qin went east to Luoyang and had several conflicts with Wang Shichong, he did not gain much advantage because he did not have an advantage in terms of military strength.

After the King of Qi, played by Li Hongyun, returned to Chang'an, Liang Gaozu, who had strong military strength and felt good about himself, finally made up his mind to gather a large number of troops and go east to Luoyang to attack Wang Shichong and face the last two enemies who were trying to pacify the world.

However, there is still some suspense regarding the selection of the general.

At this time, both the King of Qin and the King of Qi had very good achievements and both had the ability to command this war. How to choose really gave Liang Gaozu a headache.

But in the end, he chose King Qi.

This is obviously the result of multiple factors.
