419: Falling snow
Gu Che commanded the three armies again, and then directly looked at the entire army, and the first thing he did was to recruit Zhang Chu back, and then let Zhang Chu garrison Youzhou.
Gu Che and Zhang Chu hadn't seen each other for several years, and this time the two met briefly in the alternation.
Zhang Chu is nearly sixty years old, and although he doesn't have gray hair yet, he doesn't look like he first saw it.
"The general is still in high spirits when he first met, but Chu is old." Zhang Chu smiled, "I still remember the first time I met the general." ”
"Huh?" Gu Che looked to the side.
"At that time, the general was not yet a double ten, but he was just a boy." Zhang Chu looked up at the sky, "At that time, ......"
"You looked down on me back then." Gu Che smiled, "In order to ask you to follow me, I remember that I have been invited for a long time." ”
"Haha." Zhang Chu laughed, "At that time, I thought that a family like a general understands the cruelty of war. ”
"Hmm." Gu Che nodded, and didn't say much, when Gu Che met Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu was already in his thirties and nearly forty.
The years have smoothed his edges and corners, and also smoothed out his former ambitions.
At that time, Gu Che was only in his teens, just a petty official, and no one might be able to follow her.
"Fifty and knowing the destiny of heaven, have you ever thought about the future?" Gu Che looked over.
Zhang Chu thought for a moment before he spoke, "Let's wrap the horse leather body." ”
Gu Che turned his head to look over, and Zhang Chu spoke again, "A man was born on the battlefield, and he has no regrets when he dies on the battlefield." ”
Gu Che didn't say much, the lives of soldiers on the battlefield would not be their own at any time, and there was nothing to be sad about.
Gu Che just laughed, "Do you blame me for letting you quit the front line this time?" ”
Zhang Chu looked at Gu Che, and Gu Che spoke, "It is unlikely that Meridian Valley Xi Zhen will come, but it is better that he will not dare to come at all." ”
Zhang Chu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Che, "Why did the general conclude that Xi Zhen would not come?" ”
"Because Xi Zhen can't afford to fight." Gu Che responded, and then thought for a while before speaking, "There are not many generals available around Xi Zhen now, Shi Wei counts one, but there are not many in the future." Shi Wei was stationed on the frontier at the beginning, and this time he was the rear of several Northern Expeditions for Xi Zhen's expedition, so he naturally would not defend it, but would attack it, with his character......"
Shi Wei was a famous general in the Chu State, and his status was higher than Xi Zhen's. However, since Yuan De's exceptional promotion, letting him garrison the border city has determined the fate of his life.
While Xi Zhen was cleaning up the mess in Jiangdong, Shi Wei was guarding the border. When Xi Zhen was chasing Ye Huai, Shi Wei was guarding the border. Xi Zhen shook hands with Jiangdong and went south again, and Shi Wei was still guarding the border.
The original sentence, "If you come from all over the world, please refuse it for the king." The weight of 100,000 will be swallowed by the king. It became all that Shi Wei did after that, even when Yuan De died, he just wiped his tears and did not waver.
Such a person, after guarding the city for so many years, finally played an important military role in the city he guarded, and as a military rear, he could charge forward.
Shi Wei didn't have too much to mention in Gu Che's mind, but he remembered it very clearly. It's a brave general, with a little bit of recklessness.
Yuan De dared to let him guard the frontier, then his military strength must be excellent, the fierce general who had defended the city for Yinuo for so many years was finally released, what would he do?
Before Ye Qi, Shi Wei thought of going to the Meridian Valley, and he would bring 10,000 soldiers and horses by himself to launch a surprise attack on the Meridian Valley, and if he won, he would go to Yongzhou, the hinterland of Dayue!
This location is close to Yunzhou.
If you take here, you can use this place to approach Yunzhou.
Even if he didn't take it, Ye would lose only 10,000 soldiers and horses.
But will Xi Zhen agree?
Of course, Xi Zhen would not agree.
Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and Xi Zhen is not distressed when he loses 10,000 soldiers and horses, but if he loses Shi Wei, Xi Zhen will really cry.
In the battle of the city that year, the loss of one Ye Fu made Ye Yi's heart ache more than losing the entire city. Now Xi Zhen is the same.
What's more, what about taking Yongzhou?
Yongzhou is a vast and sparsely populated area, and even if it is completely won, it will not be able to make up for the population gap between Dayue and Chu. Xi Zhen faced not the princes who had different thoughts at the beginning, but Da Yue, who was always an iron plate even if he messed up the military.
Yongzhou must be garrisoned, but Yongzhou is easy to attack and difficult to defend, if you divide the troops to garrison, it is easier to be wiped out by Dayue.
It doesn't matter how much territory you have conquered and how many cities you have occupied.
It is important to destroy the living forces of the enemy.
Even if Yunzhou is captured, what if the troops of the Chu State are gathered?
At that time, the army of Chu was already weak, and it lost its natural barrier on the terrain, but it was easier to be annihilated by the counterattack of Dayue in one fell swoop.
What's more, Xi Zhen has his own plan, that is, to lead the Vietnamese army to attack, but then fight a beautiful defensive counterattack.
Let the enemy's sharp forces be consumed on a large scale in one attack after another, and the Chu army waited for work, waiting until Da Yue was exhausted and then swallowed in one fell swoop.
Xi Zhen is not an ordinary person, Gu Che guessed his thoughts from the beginning. So Gu Che helped Xi Zhen break Shi Wei's thoughts.
The army guarding Yongzhou at the beginning has changed from a penniless person to Zhang Chu, who is now famous in Liaodong.
Even if he thought that Xi Zhen wanted to use the Meridian Valley to surprise attack, there was absolutely no chance.
Shi Wei and Xi Zhen don't have to quarrel because of this, but the contradiction will be deeper, because in Shi Wei's opinion, Xi Zhen didn't hesitate and lost the possible victory of the Chu State.
Let Zhang Liao guard Yongzhou, then Gu Che is familiar with the only possible one in his hands.
Finally, in the spring of the following year, Xi Zhen carried out the fourth Northern Expedition.
And at the same time, Chu came to the front.
Gu Che was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Chu Qi, "Old Chu is so old, is he still coming to the front line?" ”
Chu Qi is now seventy years old, and he is not an age suitable for going to the battlefield. And Chu Qi just waved his fan and smiled slyly, with a little meaning, "Didn't General Gu ask him to come?" ”
Gu Che laughed, Gu Che had been trapped for so long, and the three armies naturally knew Chu Qi better than her. What's more, this war was provoked by Chu Qi at the beginning.
Gu Che can let a lot of people guard Yongzhou, but then let Zhang Liao guard it, how much does this mean that an old fox like Chu Qi will not know.
In addition to guarding, Zhang Chu also shocked Yunzhou, so as not to cause any chaos in the rear when the front line was fighting.
Gu Che's tips are so clear, if Chu Qi doesn't come out to guard, then Chu Qi is stupid.
"How is the general going to fight?" Chu Qi touched his beard, Gu Che thought for a while and spoke, "Since Xi Zhen is here, Dayue can't be afraid of him, just attack him." ”
Chu Qi touched his beard when he heard Gu Che say this, "Did you hear it right?" ”
"Naturally, no." Gu Che blinked, who is Chu Qi, Xi Zhen's strategy can be guessed without him personally looking at it.
And Gu Che didn't have many of his own personal soldiers in his hands, but he actually dared to fight like this?
Chu Qi thought for a moment before looking at Gu Che, "The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, and the bird is hidden." It seems that General Gu knows the truth very well. ”
Gu Che smiled, "It's hard to come out once, Che must have had enough fun." ”
Chu Qi did not object, and on the second day, Gu Che's army went their separate ways.
Xi Zhen was overjoyed to finally get the news after waiting for so long, he naturally knew that Gu Che understood what he meant. But who is Gu Che?
Gu Che was arrogant in his life, and he had such a powerful military power as Da Yue. In the past, Xi Zhen and Gu Che faced each other, losing more and winning less, this time the Gu family was excluded in the emperor, and it was natural that Gu Che couldn't wait to win a victory.
Gu Che first sent Qi Qiu and Yang Feng to find trouble with Xi Zhen, Xi Zhen had no interest in the two of them, and let the two of them go after two small victories.
If the first battle was too ruthless, Xi Zhen was afraid that Gu Che would not dare to come out, and after occupying the terrain, he cut cooked wheat to replenish the military rations, and then began to look for Gu Che.
Soon, Xi Zhen really met Gu Che.
At this time, the Vietnamese army all looked at Gu Che, and everyone thought that Gu Dudu had waited so long and would definitely start a great battle with Xi Zhen, even Chu Qi thought so.
However, after Xi Zhen arrived, Gu Che's order was "The army is in danger, and the soldiers are not allowed to be handed over." ”
Gu Che evoked the battle of the Vietnamese army and attracted Xi Zhen. However, Xi Zhen's soldiers came, but Gu Che played the turtle shell tactic. Don't fight......
Isn't this a panic, when people didn't come, you said that you wanted to fight with others, but now Xi Zhen stopped fighting when he arrived at the door?
The first to find out was the veteran Qi Qiu.
Now Qi Qiu's official position is already General Zuo, and he has been famous all over the world since Xu De's expedition to Liaodong, and then Xu De was defeated and followed Ye Yi. Although the identity is a little embarrassing, but he has been mixed in Dayue for so many years, and he is considered a founding hero, and now he feels that he can speak, so Qi Qiu asked Gu Che to express some dissatisfaction, "Isn't it a brain." ”
Qiu Qi is a fierce general, and he has not contributed many strategies in his life, so he speaks more directly, "You can't play like this in war, it is clear that Xi Zhen is here to find us unlucky, or you will squat at home and not come out, and no one will say anything." Either you just have a good fight, don't run into it and it's not big, so that the army's morale is easy to mess up. ”
Gu Che nodded, "Makes sense, continue?" ”
The Qi family is now considered a Wang clan in Yunzhou, and there are big contradictions with the Gu family, but Qi Qiu, a general who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time and has seen Gu Che, has no feelings.
"Or we're going to do that." The old man Qi, who was in his seventies, pointed to the route, "This seat has little grain and can't support it for long, so it's better for us to send a small force to go around their backs and cut off their grain transportation routes, so that he will be attacked by the enemy on his back and withdraw in seconds!" ”
Very wonderful, very right.
Gu Che nodded, Qi Qiu likes to be praised the most at this age, and he can't wait to wag his tail to express his happiness. R1152
