Chapter 530 The Battle of the Central Plains Begins
Chapter 531: The Battle of the Central Plains Begins
In the 27th year of Qianyuan, in March, the ice and snow melted in the Central Plains, and the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. It was a prosperous appearance, but everyone knew that the war was about to break out. The dense clouds of war are suppressing everyone's nerves.

In Dongjun, Zhao Jun's camp in Puyang City, Li Rubing assembled the whole army and prepared to march south.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Rubing looked at the generals under his command. This is the last family property of Zhao Guo. Although this time he went south, Zhao Guo still left nearly 30 elites in the north. went south.

"Everyone, I've been preparing for the battle for nearly two years, and now it's finally time for a showdown. Last year, Deng Jun took the land of four counties in Peinan. I thought about the overall situation and resisted the idea of ​​starting a war. Now everything is ready. It's time to go south and fight Deng Jun." Li Rubing said.

"General, please order!" All the generals responded in unison. Most of the generals here are young generals. Most of them have not experienced the glory of Zhao Xin's period, nor have they participated in Zhang Chuan's past in the Central Plains and Deng Kingdom. A great battle caused them to misunderstand Deng's strength, thinking that Deng was not much stronger than Qin and Chu.And under the leadership of Li Rubing, they reversed their decline and brought back Zhao Guo, which was almost in a trough, and defeated Qin and Chu, which gave them too much confidence, not to mention their strength on paper in the Central Plains now. Stronger than Deng Jun, what is there to be afraid of? They have long wanted to go to war. In their view, Zhao Jun led by Li Rubing is already invincible in the world, and he will not lose to Zhao Xin at all. Deng Guo is the last stumbling block. Deng Guo, the aspiration to the world is just around the corner.

"Okay, pass on the order to reward the three armies. After three days, the army will set out and go south to Yan County!" Li Rubing said loudly.

Although all the generals in the Zhao army are ambitious, Chen Ping, as a veteran, is worried. Chen Ping is the only remaining veteran of the Zhao State after the Langmeng Revolution, and has a high prestige in the army. , the young faction has risen, but the veterans headed by Chen Ping, Le Yun, and Tu Gao also have a high status in the army. Chen Ping has been in the army for decades, and has experienced glory and troughs. Chen Ping has experienced the ups and downs of the years.

Although the State of Zhao is powerful, it is not the same as the time of Xin Zhao. If the current general of the State of Zhao is still Xin Zhao, and the soldiers and horses under his command are still the elite of all battles under Xin Zhao's command, Chen Ping will not have the slightest fear at all. Worrying, but Xin Zhao is no longer there. The elites who followed Xin Zhao to sweep the countries in the past have also been exhausted in the big cleansing and war after war. What they have to face this time is almost victorious. Deng Jun, Chen Ping felt a little nervous.

However, looking at the elated mood of the people in the tent, Chen Ping knew that he could not come out to spoil the fun at this time. Now that Zhao Guo's young men had deified Li Rubing, his group of veterans from the Xin Zhao period seemed a bit out of place here.

After leaving the tent of the Chinese army, Chen Ping called Le Yun and Tu Gao over, and shared his worries with them.

Le Yun and Tu Gao were also silent for a while after hearing this. In fact, before the start of the war, they also disagreed with this decisive battle. In their opinion, it is too early for the decisive battle now. , but it is not so easy to deal with Deng Guo, who is in full swing, and it can even be said that the odds of winning are very low, but Zhao Wang and Li Rubing can't listen to their words.

Although most of the ordinary people in Zhao State don’t know the truth, all the civil and military officials of Zhao State are very clear that the current King Zhao, the throne under him was taken by treason, and many people even don’t recognize the legitimacy of King Zhao in their hearts. King Zhao is also very aware of this point, that's why after his strength has recovered, he will go to war abroad, trying to establish his own prestige, and Li Rubing is also the same. Li Rubing has always wanted to surpass Xin Zhao and get rid of Zhao Xin. The influence of the letter brought him, Zhao Wang and Li Rubing, two ambitious guys, hit it off. After destroying Chu State and defeating Qin State, they pointed their finger at the strongest Deng State. Today's most powerful country in the world is Deng Guo, but this title once belonged to Zhao Guo, but it was taken away by Deng Guo abruptly. If Zhao Guo wants to restore its former glory, Deng Guo must pass the hurdle.

"Brother Chen, we all understand what you said, but neither the king nor the general will listen to us, and after preparing for so long, both the king and the general are determined to win this battle, so why are they worried because of you and me? And give up halfway?" Tu Gao said.

"Yeah, Brother Chen, actually we know that this is not the best time to start a war with Deng Guo, but now the arrow is on the line, we have to go, the two sides have millions of elite Chen soldiers in the Central Plains, even if we retreat, Deng Guo will not Let it go, at this moment, this battle has to be fought, but Brother Chen doesn't have to worry too much, after all, the strength gap between our army and Deng's army is not big, and our army even has a slight advantage. If we really fight, It's not certain who wins the game." Le Yun also said.

"Having said that, we can't be too optimistic. The strength of Deng Guo is obvious to all of you and me. In the past, many powerful countries that dominated the world have stumbled in front of Deng Guo. Even my great Zhao is the same. The Central Plains was defeated. He directly lost the lands of Chenliu, Chen, and Liang counties. When General Zhao Xin was alive in the past, he was more fearful than Zhao Guo. He had said many times that Deng Guo was the enemy of Zhao Guo. However, he is in a high mood, completely devoid of awe, with this kind of mentality, it is easy to cause accidents on the battlefield." Chen Ping still said very worriedly.

While Chen Ping and others were worried about Zhao Jun's future, Li Rubing in the Chinese army's tent was in a different situation. Although Li Rubing was only under 40 years old, he became famous at a young age, and he was already considered a veteran in the army. For this battle with Deng Guo, Li Rubing is also full of confidence. Although he experienced the disastrous defeat in the Central Plains during Zhang Chuan's period, Li Rubing was not the main general of that battle. Even at that time, Li Rubing was driven to Shangjun and Qin Jun by Zhang Chuan Confrontation, in Li Rubing's view, if he had commanded that battle back then, how could Zhao Jun have lost?
And since he ascended to the position of general, Zhao Jun has won many battles, changed his decline, and showed signs of regaining his former glory. In the first battle of Shangdang, Li Rubing wiped out 10,000+ elite Qin troops, and he was in the limelight for a while. , as long as he defeats Deng Guo, then he can get the status of Zhao Xin back then, and Li Rubing is also full of confidence in fighting Deng Jun. In Li Rubing's view, although Deng Guo has a large number of famous generals, there are only a few threats to him. Personally, Yue Fei is old, Han Qing is dead, and Li Rubing doesn't care about the rest.

In the 27th year of Qianyuan, on March 20th, Li Rubing led [-] Zhao troops across the border and stormed the jujube. The first battle was successful, and the world was shaken. The war that had been brewing for a long time finally kicked off.

In the 27th year of Qianyuan, on March [-]th, Yue Fei, who was in Chenliu, learned that the main force of the Zhao army had gone south and had already broken through Suanzao. Qiu, at the same time ordered Long Xiangwei in Yingchuan to go north immediately to help in the battle.

"General, the Zhao army broke through Changhuan a few days ago, and there are faint signs of going south to Pingqiu." Xue Rengui said to Yue Fei in Fengqiu City, Deng Jun's camp, and the Chinese Army's tent.

Yue Fei nodded with a heavy face, and said: "Zhao Jun's offensive is fierce, and Changhuan's fall is expected, but Pingqiu can't have any problems. After Pingqiu, there will be Donghun and Jiyang. Commander Zhao drives straight in, and the hinterland of Chenliu County will be in danger."

"General, to the east of Jiyang City is Jiyin County. Do you think Le Ting of Pei County will move westward and attack Jiyang City?" Xue Rengui asked. Chenliu County is the northernmost county of Deng State. It borders Henan County of Qin State, Dongjun County to the north, and Jiyin County to the east. There are too many places to defend, and there are tens of thousands of elite Zhao troops in Pei County. Once the attack on Jiyang City is successful, the entire Chenliu County can be broken down the middle.

Yue Fei thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, although Le Ting has tens of thousands of elites in his hands, but in the land of Peinan, where one hundred thousand elites of the Spirit Snake Guard and Shence Guard are stationed here, Le Ting will not dare Act rashly, but don't be afraid of what happens, just be afraid of [-], and send an order to Murong Ke and Zhang Liao, ordering them to raise troops to go north, and this general will suppress Le Ting in Peijun."

Within Pei County, Deng Guo also has [-] elites. Unless Zhao Jun abandons Pei County, he will never dare to transfer Le Ting's army. Yue Fei still has confidence in this point. Let the Lingsnake Guards and Shence Guards of Peijun go north to entangle Zhao Jun under Leting.

"Then general, what about Pingqiu?" Murong Chui asked. Zhao Jun's attack on Jiyang City was all conjecture, but it was a certainty that Zhao Jun's soldiers would point directly at Pingqiu. In order to protect Chen Liu's hinterland, Pingqiu must not lose.

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Xie Xun, Ren Jue listens to the order!"

"The last general is here!" Hearing Yue Fei's words, Xie Xun and Ren Ping responded.

"Order the two of you to lead our troops to garrison Pingqiu, remember not to act rashly, just guard the city." Yue Fei said.

"Here!" After taking orders, Xie Xun and Ren Ping went down to order soldiers.

"General, when will we attack!" General Ying Yangwei, Li Cunxiao, who is known as the number one fierce general in the world, asked. Throughout Yue Fei's arrangement, he was defending, but if he wanted to rely on defense, he would defeat Zhao Jun. is unrealistic.

Yue Fei smiled and said: "General Li, please be safe and don't be impatient, you will have a place to use your skills, but now the Zhao army is coming aggressively, smashing the two cities of Suanzao and Changhuan. The strength of the army is slightly inferior to that of the Zhao army, and it is not good for our army to attack rashly, so it is better to adopt a defensive posture first to drain the morale of the Zhao army, and when the Zhao army's attack is suspended, it is time for our army to attack."

Hearing Yue Fei's words, Li Cunxiao didn't say anything more.

After placating Li Cunxiao, Yue Fei said again: "This time when the Zhao army goes south, it's not just Li Rubing's soldiers and horses moving all the way. The soldiers and horses in Pengcheng and Xiapi must also make moves. Send orders to Yongpingwei in Guangling and Jinwu in Jiujiang County. The guards are ready to guard against the Zhao army's surprise attack, and at the same time, they ordered the Shenxing guards to rush eastward to Jiujiang and Guangling to help Yongping guards and Jinwu guards."

"Here!" Deng and Zhao's armies had a very long battle line in the Central Plains, stretching for thousands of miles from Chenliu in the west to Guangling in the east, and wars might break out in every place, so it was not enough to just stare at Li Rubing in the north.
