Chapter 351 Anti-Army Attacks Anton
Li Fei took Andong's iron cavalry and rode away, leaving only the painful Hu Luer and others.
After experiencing Hu Luer's incident, Li Fei felt more urgent. Although he could see that Hu Luer was just a test of Suzong Li Heng's.
But now Guanzhong and Chang'an City have not yet been recovered, let alone completely destroy the anti-army. Suzong Li Heng couldn't help but test him and find opportunities to divide and disintegrate his Andong army. It seems that it is becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate him.
Li Fei is not afraid of turning against Suzong Li Heng completely, and he is not even afraid of being named "rebel".
He knew history and knew how severe the Tang Dynasty suffered over seven years in the Anshi Rebellion. If Li Fei's ambition was just to separatist Anton and become a local emperor, then he could return to Andong to become an independent person now. Suzong Li Heng had no choice but to do anything to him. Even after the Anshi Rebellion, he would have the confidence to keep Andong alive.
But Li Fei's ambition was greater. In order to achieve his ambition, the strength of the Anton Protectorate must be further expanded, but the population restricted the development. The Anton Protectorate needs population, and Li Fei wants to continuously attract refugees who escaped war through the Anshi Rebellion, increase the population of the Anton Protectorate, further expand the Anton Protectorate and show his own strength.
"It's a pity that the Anton Protectorate has to cross the sea to reach it. And it is close to Pinglu Road, facing the threat of anti-army from Pinglu Road at any time, and cannot gain the trust of refugees who escaped the war. Many refugees would rather continue to starve and go south to Jianghuai and Jiangnan than to cross the sea to immigrate to the Anton Protectorate, for fear that the anti-army would also enter the Anton Protectorate, and then they would not even find a place to escape." Li Fei sighed.
The refugees escaped their hometowns by escaping from war. The lack of security is the reason why most of them are unwilling to cross the sea to the Anton Protectorate. Li Fei was worried about this and didn't know what method to use.
Soon, Li Fei's opportunity came.
An Lushan sent an anti-army army to Pingludao to stay in Lu Dao to attack the Andong Protectorate. At this moment, Lu Zhihai had led 100,000 anti-army troops out of Pingzhou City.
It is said that Li Fei rushed to Mawei Post for thousands of miles, and then lifted the siege of Nanyang. Not only did he tell the Khitan whom An Lushan concealed, the Xi tribe, to be pacified and replaced with a new leader, the Khitan leader Muerhu and the Xi tribe Ahuiju, which led to Muerhu and Ahuiju, who led the Khitan cavalry and the Xi tribe against the north. Li Fei also defeated Wu Lingxun and wiped out more than 80,000 anti-army troops who besieged Nanyang. Later, he wiped out more than 60,000 anti-army troops who besieged Suiyang in Suiyang, killed Yang Chaozong, and seized more than 200,000 stones of grain and grass in Shan County.
The two battles caused the anti-army to lose its strength in the south and southeastern areas. The news reached An Lushan's ears in Luoyang. An Lushan roared angrily. In order to make Li Fei pay the price, he ordered the general Lu Zhihai, who stayed at Pingludao, to lead the Pingludao anti-army to attack the Anton Protectorate and destroy Li Fei's nest.
When Li Fei first heard the news, he was still a little nervous.
Pingludao's anti-army army was worth 100,000.
Moreover, 20,000 of them are An Lushan's most primitive elite troops in a hundred battles, and the other 80,000 have also been trained for a certain amount of training, much stronger than the rabble. It can be said that the anti-army army in Pingludao is the only army in the anti-army camp that has been replenishing its strength to the present, and it is very strong.
As early as when An Lushan had just begun to rebel, Li Fei expected that one day the anti-army would attack his Anton Protectorate.
Although the city wall was built high in Andong early in the morning, and had good precautions, and had confidence in the defense of the Andong Protectorate, the Andong Protectorate has only 20,000 regular troops left. Even if some second-line guard soldiers in the city are added, there are only 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers who can take advantage of it, and the number of people is at an absolute disadvantage. And the Andong Protectorate is his foundation, and it is not to be misleading. It is false to say that it is not nervous at all.
But suddenly I thought of something again, and Li Fei quickly flashed another sharp light in his eyes and became firm.
"This is a crisis, and it may not be an opportunity!"
The 100,000 anti-army army on Pinglu Road was in full swing, and its capital was bound to be empty. Li Fei thought that if he could defeat these 100,000 anti-army army and even capture the entire Pinglu Road, not only would the road leading to the Andong Protectorate in Hebei be opened, but the refugees were also confident about the safety of the Andong Protectorate, and were more willing to go to the Andong Protectorate in Anton to settle down to avoid the war...
By then, the refugees can also go directly from Hebei provinces through Pinglu Road to Andong Protectorate. The two major constraints on the increase in the total population of Andong Protectorate can basically be solved.
"In this way, this battle must be fought and must be won!" Li Fei looked firm.
Immediately, Li Fei summoned all the generals to formulate strategies.
"Sir, the Andong states have been building high walls long before Anlushan officially began to rebel. It can be said that every state and county in Andong is now a strong city. Although there are 100,000 anti-army troops, it is a delusion to want to capture all the prefectures and counties in Andong. Our 24,000 Andong Iron Cavalry is located on the coast of Dengzhou. The Andong fleet can transport more than 200,000 refugees to the Liaodong Peninsula, and can also transport the Andong Iron Cavalry across the sea to the coast very close to Pingzhou City. Lu Zhihai on the Pinglu Road, 100,000 anti-army troops were out in full swing, and Pingzhou City will definitely be empty. When the anti-army attacks the city and penetrates into the hinterland of Andong, our army will surprise Pingzhou City from the sea and cut off the back of the anti-army. The anti-army will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, our army will attack east and west, and we can defeat it in one battle!" Mao Youde analyzed and said his own strategic.
"Military Mao said correctly. Pingzhou City is the old nest of Lu Zhihai, Pinglu's anti-army. Once it is attacked by our army, the anti-army will inevitably be in chaos!" Lu Xin agreed with what Mao Youde said.
Li Fei nodded, and this strategy was similar to what he thought, so he spoke: "This strategy is very good. Indeed, although there are 100,000 anti-army troops, the prefectures and counties in Andong have built high walls earlier, and each of them is a strong city. Not to mention the capture of the entire Andong, even if he was allowed to kill the city of Liaoyang, he would be exhausted and suffered heavy losses. He wanted to break through the city of Liaoyang---"
Speaking of this, Li Fei showed strong confidence. Liaoyang City was his old nest. After rebuilding, it had long become a real strong city. Moreover, Liaoyang City had a large number of secret weapons that he prepared to scare people. Even if Lu Zhihai and other anti-army attacked the city of Liaoyang, Liaoyang City was also its bones buried.
Soon, Li Fei discussed a complete set of strategies with the generals, and the 24,000 Andong Iron Cavalry also prepared urgently, and Li Fei's orders were also uploaded back to Andong Liaoyang City through sea.
The Andong Protectorate, as Lu Zhihai's anti-army was about to invade Andong, a large number of messengers who conveyed messages and orders continued to travel between Liaoyang City and Liaoxi City.
