Chapter 1644: Space for Time

"Hiss......"

Qin Hao couldn't help but gasp, he never thought that Li Shimin's appetite would be even greater than Liu Ji, who initiated the fight against Qin.

Liu Ji sent troops of 150,000 troops from Ba County, just to snatch Jingbei, but Li Shimin, in addition to Nanyang, even Sizhou wanted to take it together, this is really greedy and not enough to swallow the elephant!

Qin Hao didn't know where Li Tang got the confidence, but this undoubtedly touched his backscale, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that after taking all of Hebei, he could destroy Li Tang before attacking the Central Plains.

"Military Division, in this case, as long as our army allocates and arranges the troops in Sizhou and draws out troops to support Nanyang, can we stop Li Tang?" Qin Hao asked.

Zhuge Liang didn't answer immediately, but asked with a light smile: "How does the lord plan to transfer troops?" ”

Qin Hao didn't think about it, and said directly: "At least 20,000 defenders must be left behind from Hangu Pass, and 15,000 defenders can not be less than 15,000 at the Tiger Prison Pass and other checkpoints, as for Luoyang is the national capital, there are at least 15,000 troops, so the only reinforcements that can be sent are ......."

At this time, Qin Hao couldn't go on, Sizhou only had a total of 70,000 troops, and 50,000 could not be moved lightly, and at most 20,000 reinforcements could only be sent to the outside world.

But in the face of such a war of hundreds of thousands of troops, what role can 20,000 reinforcements play?

"Have you forgotten, my lord?"

Zhuge Liang reminded with a light smile: "Zhou Gongjin led 10,000 Yellow River troops to Qingbei, and now the total strength of Sizhou is only 60,000. ”

"Forehead ......"

Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, how could he miss the Yellow River Water Army.

In this case, Sizhou, which only has 60,000 troops left, can only send 10,000 reinforcements.

For Jingzhou, what is the use of an army of 10,000? What a drop in the bucket!

"The military advisor should be blunt, how do you need to dispatch it to ensure that the two states of Jing are not lost?" Qin Hao asked.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen looked at each other and smiled, this Liu Bowen stood up and said with a smile: "Lord, Wen and Kong Ming worked together overnight and finally came to a common conclusion.

There are too few reinforcements in Sizhou, whether they are sent or not, it does not have much effect, and with the 80,000 defenders in Jingzhou, it is impossible to lose an inch of land.

If you want to solve the crisis in Jingzhou, the best way to do it today is to exchange space for time. ”

"Space for time?"

Qin Hao's brows suddenly furrowed, he naturally understood that Liu Bowen's implication was to take the initiative to give up some territory in order to liberate a part of the troops, and at the same time, it could also delay the advance of the Southern Han Dynasty.

When the enemy army receives these cities, it must also investigate the cities, and as long as the Qin army arranges more back-ups, it will definitely be able to buy time.

"But the military division, the defenders of Jingzhou are only 80,000, and the two lines of soldiers and horses Liu Ji and Li Shimin have as many as 230,000 troops, even if they exchange space for time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to delay for a month, right?"

Qin Hao's implication is that he also agrees with this policy, after all, war is for the greatest interests.

If you give up a few inconsequential cities, but you can exchange for the unification of the whole of Hebei, such abandonment is not only not a loss, but a big victory.

Therefore, it is acceptable for Qin Hao to give up the territory strategically, but the current situation is that even if he gives up space, he may not be able to exchange time for it, so of course Qin Hao is not willing to give up in vain.

Zhuge Liang stood up again and said: "Lord, it is not enough to just give up nature, and it needs to be supplemented by other strategies to play the effect of exchanging space for time."

Lord, please see. ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang pointed in the direction of Nanjun and said: "Among the counties in Nanjun, except for Jiangling and Yiling, most of the other cities are small cities, and the gains of dividing troops to garrison them outweigh the losses.

Xiangyang County is the only fortified city of Xiangyang, so if only Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Yiling are killed, and the three cities are each other's horns, even if Liu Ji's 150,000 army comes to attack, our army will definitely be able to hold on for more than a month, and even hold on until the end of the war in Hebei. ”

Qin Hao nodded, and also felt that it made sense, so he asked again: "What about the Tang Army in Wuxiang and Nanyang?" ”

"My lord, the two counties of Nanyang County and Wuxiang County can protect the horns of Ye County, Deng County, Wuxiang County, and Wancheng County." Zhuge Liang replied.

"Where do the soldiers come from?"

Qin Hao asked, after all, there are only 80,000 defenders in Jingbei, but they have to resist the attack of 230,000 enemy troops, so they must be meticulous in the division of troops, and use every point of strength in the most suitable place.

"Zhao Kuangyin is attacking Jianghuai, and there is no threat to the east gate of Jingbei, so Zhangling County only needs to leave 5,000 defenders.

As for the remaining 75,000 troops, 60,000 on the front line of Jiangling Xiangyang, 15,000 in Zhangling Nanyang, and 10,000 reinforcements in Sizhou.

If this arrangement is made, it is more than enough to hold on to the rest of the month, and when the war in Hebei is completely stabilized, the cavalry can be transferred from Hebei to help, and then the crisis in Jingbei will be resolved. Zhuge Liang replied.

"In addition, our army can also send envoys to lobby Chi You and Liu Yu, promise heavy benefits, and order them to attack the rear of the Shu army.

If the two families are willing to send troops, the crisis in Jingbei will be solved, and if they are not sure to send troops, our army can make a big publicity, so that Liu Ji is worried about the rear, and he cannot devote himself wholeheartedly to attacking Jingbei. Liu Bowen added.

After listening to the words of the two, Qin Hao immediately frowned and pondered, to be honest, he was not satisfied with the arrangement of the two, and felt that it was too risky to have such a tight force, but now there is no better way than this.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Zhuge Liang, who was unwilling to take risks easily, offered such a risky method, which shows that the Qin army really has no extra troops.

"As long as you can take Hebei, let alone temporarily give up some areas of Jingbei, even if you directly abandon the entire Jingbei, this king is willing."

Qin Hao's eyes were unprecedentedly firm, and he said decisively: "Just follow the plan of the two military advisors." ”

Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes, and then said in unison: "The lord is wise." ”

Considering that Liu Ji has two super god generals, Xingtian and Hou Yi, as well as Kuafu, the god of war, the Qin army in Jingzhou must have more fierce generals if they want to block the enemy army with inferior forces.

After thinking about it, Qin Hao ordered: "Immediately send an order to transfer Pei Yuanqing, Qin Yong, and Xiong Tianqing to Xiangyang and join Qin Qiong, the governor of Jingbei. ”

Jingzhou already has two door gods, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, and the two of them can completely block any god of war when they join forces.

In addition, Yue Yun, one of the Four Gates and Eight Sledgehammers, was already in Jingzhou, and now Qin Hao had sent the other three over as well.

Among the four doors and eight sledgehammers under Qin Hao, Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing are both peak god generals, and if the four of them activate the combined skills together to attack, they will definitely burst out with shocking combat power.

Coupled with Yang Zaixing, Wen Ping, Zhang Xian, Han Shizhong, Li Yan and other generals, it will definitely not be a problem to delay Liu Ji for a month.
