Chapter 123 Strategy
Xu You was indeed careless. Not only him, but He Ru did not expect that the Northern Wei Dynasty would choose to attack this time!
The Yellow River has four floods every year. Now that the flood is just over, the autumn flood is coming soon. The continuous heavy rains will cause the river to surge. Except for a few natural ferries, it is extremely difficult to march in other areas, which is very unfavorable to the Wei army, which is not good at boating.
However, soldiers are the devil!
At the most unexpected moment of the enemy, the attack came to an end, and the retreat of Hanoi County was cut off. The prefect would either fight to the death or surrender. However, Hanoi County was originally the territory ceded to Xiliang by Wei State. The people were in Wei, so how could they fight to the death?
He occupied Hanoi County, cleared the nails inserted into the heart of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then attacked Hedong County with lightning speed, easily burning the war to the northern department of Guanzhong: Puban City!
If Pucheng is lost, Tongguan is a false situation, and Qinchuan is lying flat and let iron hoofs ravage... Oh, with the combat power of the Chu army, it will not be ravaged, but the problem is, the main force of the central army
If he was dragged down by the elite cavalry of the Wei army and could not support Luoyang, the pressure Ye Min faced may increase in a geometric multiple...
It is really hard to mess with the Yuan family that can dominate the northern region for a hundred years!
"Zhang Tong, send an order to summon the heads of each army and the fifth rank and above to the festival to discuss matters!"
In just half a day, dozens of generals of various army, including Tan Xiaozu, Zuo Qi, Zhu Zhi, Qi Xiao, Han Baoqing, Xue Xuanmo, Shanzong, Mingjing, Fengdongshan, Zhou Shiting, Cao Qing, Mi Pochu, Li Bi, Tang Mo, Quan Changyi, Yao Fang, and other orders, appeared in the festival hall one after another, with iron armor shining and stars shining.
Xu You asked: "Who is the head commander of the Wei army?"
He Ru replied: "Ghost General Mulan!"
"Huh?" Xu You looked faintly and said, "It turned out to be her..."
Dong Zhe explained to other people who don’t know the inside story: “General Ghost is actually the princess Yuan Mulan. She grew up with Yuanguang in the six towns since she was young. She always wore a ghost face mask when she went to fight to kill the enemy. Rouran called him General Ghost, and was famous and frightened.”
Everyone suddenly realized that Yu Teng said disdainfully: "There is no one to seek the enemy! The military and national affairs are important, and women are actually sent as commanders. The hen is in charge of the Chenchen. The Wei army is not worth worrying about!"
Dong Xie shook her head and said, "Don't be careless. According to the information of the secret palace, Yuan Mulan got the true story of Yuan Guang's military strategy and led troops to defeat Rouran many times. The last time she attacked Rouran's Khan Court, Yuan Mulan was the deputy commander. This woman is good at using strange weapons, like a fox, brave and fierce in the battle, and like a wolf. If she is despised because she is a woman, our army will definitely suffer a great loss!"
Yu Teng knew that he had made a mistake and said something about the hen Sichen in front of the Winter Solstice. Wasn't that pointing to the mulberry and scolding the locust? He bowed and apologized: "I don't know the importance of it, don't blame the master!"
If it were before, Yu Teng would have been so easy to talk to. After following Xu You for a year, he became subtly moved and his temperament changed greatly. Although the arrogance of the top clans is still there, he has learned to abandon the high and low status and get along with others.
This is a small step for individuals, but a big step for the entire Jiangdong clan!
The Winter Solstice owed his body and said, "I have discussed matters in front of the hall and have no connection with right and wrong. I dare not accept the courtesy of Yu Li Cao!"
Yu Teng smiled and didn't say anything.
Ignoring the little episode between the two, Xu You's index finger gently hammered the table and asked, "The Wei army is coming in full force, what are your good plans?"
Tan Zhuo said: "The most urgent task is to send envoys to Puban, stabilize the prefect Yin Zhao, and then send additional heavy troops to support him. In any case, the gateway to the north must be guarded!"
Xu You nodded and said, "Yu Teng, you will take my order and go to Puban first and tell Yin Zhao that the city is there and people are not allowed to take a step back. Xue Xuanmo, you will lead 20,000 troops to help Puban. Yin Zhao and his troops are under your control. When encountering war, you can make a decision at the moment and there is no need to ask for instructions!"
Yu Teng and Xue Xuanmo took a step forward at the same time and said, "No!" and retreated back to their original position.
Tan Xiaozu said: "There are only thousands of soldiers and horses in Hedong County. So, where is the main force of the Wei army? Have you reached the north bank of the Yellow River? Or are you smuggling from the downstream, hiding in a place to wait for an opportunity?"
Xu You turned his eyes to the Winter Solstice, and stood up and said solemnly: "The information earlier showed that Wei Ting was mobilizing troops from the six towns, raising food and grass, and preparing ships. According to the progress, the troops must be sent out after October. Now it seems that this should be Yuan Mulan's suspicious plan. The main trend of the Wei army is not clear yet. I will order Wenyu and Mingchi to work together to do their best to find out as soon as possible for the general to make a decision."
Although the secret palace was arranged in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the time was too short and the background was too poor. When encountering a famous general like Yuan Mulan who was unconventional in using troops, it was within an acceptable range if he lost the opportunity.
Xu You smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on the secret palace. The reason why the Wei army was able to attack Ziguan and trap Hedong and Henei counties was mainly to use strange, precious and fast, so it was easy to hide its traces and attack me unprepared. Yuan Mulan's main force was at least 50,000. No matter how she had the magical means, it would never be possible to approach Luoyang quietly..."
He Ru said in a deep voice: "I am not as optimistic as the general. Five thousand people can hide from the secret palace, and fifty thousand people can do the same. It's nothing more than breaking the whole into pieces and moving forward together. It's still urgent to make Ye Min be vigilant. If necessary, you can give up the periphery and guard Hulao and Luoyang!"
"Okay!" Xu You advised him and said, "Gongsun Qian's plan, you should go to Luoyang quickly and tell Ye Min that guarding first and that the enemy should not be underestimated!"
Gongsun Qianji was a military officer in the Military Division. He was born in the Cuiyu Army. He was valued by He Ru when he entered the Huqin Hall to study. He was taken by his side for two years and can now stand alone.
"promise!"
Gongsun Qian was not outstanding in appearance, with red spots on his nose, which was called rosacea, which later generations called him. He had only bright eyes. He was under this important task, without any excitement and excitement, and seemed very calm and calm.
Xu You encouraged him a few times, then asked Lu Bozhi, saying, "How about food and grass?"
Lu Bozhi said hurriedly: "Guanzhong has sufficient grain reserves, and the two major granaries can be used by the army for three months. In addition, from Guanzhong to Luoyang, the Wei River directly connects to the Yellow River, which is convenient for transportation! However, if Hedong County is lost, the north bank of the Yellow River falls into the enemy, and then go to the river to transport grain, you may be disturbed by the enemy..."
"Wei Wushui Army, even if we send troops to disturb the coast, it will be destined to be futile." Fengdongshan looked at Shanzong, saw that he was sitting withered down and did not speak, so he had to come forward to express his opinion on behalf of Youdu Army, saying: "I dare to issue a military order to ensure that the river transportation is smooth, there is food behind and food in front!"
Xu You laughed and said, "Okay, I have no worries about General Feng's words!" Then his eyes slowly swept across the scene like lightning, and the indescribable pressure filled the scene. Everyone who was swept could not help but stand tall, his heart was slightly stern, and he only heard him say:
"Three months! Enough!"
"This battle with the Wei army is not a decisive battle between the two countries. One of the goals is to hurt the enemy, so that they will not dare to covet the inch of land in Jiangdong for ten years; the second goal is to train troops and courage to solve the fear of the enemy for decades, what the Chifeng Army can do, the Central Army and the Cuiyu Army can do, as well; the third goal is to not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and focus on eliminating the enemy's living forces. If Luoyang can be abandoned, it is okay to give up; the fourth goal..."
But he couldn't refuse openly. Xu You smiled and said, "Uncle Fourth thinks who should defend it?"
"Mi Po is good at guarding and is familiar with the key points in Tongguan. He is the general of the guard and can be at peace inside and outside!"
"Mi Po Chu wants to follow me to go to war and stay in Tongguan, and use his talents to be useless!"
"Qi Xiao has a fair reputation, Ming Jing is the best of the three armies, choose one, Tongguan is as solid as a soup..."
"Qi Xiaoxin, Ming Jingming, you must not be easily defeated by me."
"That……"
Zhu Zhi said casually: "How about the Shanzong? Youdu Army is responsible for the river from Guanzhong to Luoyang. Tongguan is in the middle of the two places. Shanzong is in charge. It can not only ensure the safety of grain transportation, but also use the mobility of the navy to support the front and rear at any time..."
Xu You pondered for a long time and said, "The current commander of Youdu Army is Fengdongshan..."
Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "General Feng is a good general, but his reputation and achievements are not as good as General Shan. It is nothing more than the previous killing of prisoners. I ask for love for General Shan and make him commit crimes and make meritorious. General, the victory at the end of the battle is exactly when talents are needed. How can he hide his edge in his sleeves and make his relatives happy?"
