Chapter 16: A Breakthrough Strategy
Yizhou, Chengdu.
In recent years, under the governance of Liu Zhang, although Yizhou has rebelled several times, it is generally peaceful, at least Shu is still a rare place of wealth and health for this Han Dynasty.
"My lord, Pang Yi's purpose in sending troops to the canal this time is not only to recover the three northern counties of Brazil County, but also to strengthen prevention!"
The figures in the state pastoral mansion are wrong, in addition to Liu Zhang, the main bookkeeper Huang Quan, don't drive Zhang Song, and engage in Wang Lei... and the generals Zhang Ren and Wu Yi in the army all gathered around Liu Zhang, looking at a simple map hanging on the wall with a solemn expression.
"That's right, what Gongheng said is reasonable, the lord still needs to take more precautions, and Pang Yi is afraid that the back of the Dongchuan family is indispensable behind him this time."
He saluted Liu Zhang, and stared at the location of the Wakou Pass on the map, with a sinking expression.
For Pang Yi, a group of Yizhou ministers didn't take it to heart, to put it bluntly... Pang Yi is just a loser in the power struggle, even if he has a plan... How powerful can it be?
What is really fearful is the big families who stand behind Pang Yi who oppose Liu Zhang!
How many rebellions did Yizhou rebel, which one lacked the means of these people?
"Ziyuan, have you heard any rumors?"
Hearing the words of Huang Quan and Zhang Song, Liu Zhang couldn't help frowning, to be honest... He doesn't have much ambition, as long as he can keep the inheritance given by his father, it's almost the same!
But these big families in the east and west of Sichuan...
"I haven't heard anything about it!
However, according to the people below, during this time, Ba County and Guanghan transported a lot more grain and grass to Brazil County than before! ”
Although the Wu family has become one of the many families in Yizhou under the care of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, they are outsiders after all, and some people accept... Naturally, there are people who are excluded.
But fortunately, there are many caravans under the Wu family, and the source of the news channel... It's pretty convenient.
"Grain and grass? It seems that these big families have forgotten about Zhao Wei! ”
With a sneer, a cold light flashed in Zhang Song's eyes, and then he said to Liu Zhang: "Song, please ask the Lord to make a decision, send an elite team to garrison Guanghan, and wait for the opportunity to move." ”
Zhang Song's family was not born in a big family, but from a poor family to work hard to get him Zhang Song and his brother Zhang Su today, before Zhang Su did not have a party, because of his appearance and background, the two brothers were not less angry with the children of these big families.
For these sanctimonious guys, Zhang Song naturally doesn't have a good impression.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
When it's time to make a move, these families are the masters of your step back and his entry into the three zhangs, and all the Yizhou Wenchen generals in the palace are also clear, so after Zhang Song's speech, they surrendered their hands one by one to petition.
"It's...
If you rashly transfer troops and punish generals, I am afraid that it will intensify the conflict between the two sides, if it is..."
Although several years have passed since Zhao Wei's rebellion, I still think of it, Liu Zhang's heart can't help but tremble, these big families are basically this urine, what kind of wrist is his father, he was not like this when he was in power? What's more... It's been a good couple of years to have a good time, if it's not necessary... He Liu Zhang really doesn't want to use swords!
If the swords and soldiers move, the blood will flow like a river, and the people will be in chaos!
But these... Who understands what is going on in his heart?
"The lord may be able to transfer an elite to Guanghan in the name of drilling!"
When the judgment is constantly suffering, such a simple truth, their lord naturally understands, but this temperament... With a long sigh, Huang Quan and Zhang Song admonished again.
"Send people to Brazil County to find out the news, as for the transfer of troops to garrison, or... Wait a minute! ”
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zhang still made a decision in the slightly lost eyes of the military generals.
……
Pasir County, Wakou Pass.
After several days of stalemate between the two sides, a rainstorm that lasted for several days suddenly came.
Heavy rains for several days have made the already rugged mountain roads even more muddy and slippery, and fighting and transporting baggage have become empty words.
The heavy rain washed away the traces of the war, and also washed away the killing and bloody gas of Wakou Pass for more than ten days.
Wakou Pass, because of the high terrain, there is no need to worry about being flooded by rainwater.
However, compared to the Pang Yi battalion, which plans to fight a war of attrition and has already prepared enough supplies, the Wakou Pass at this moment... It's undoubtedly bleak.
Several days of bad weather not only caused the temperature to drop a lot, but also... A lot of wood is consumed for heating and cooking in Wakou Pass, and even the wood used to defend the city... At this moment, it was also split by the defenders of the city to make a fire and cook, but even so... Compared with the base of 30,000 people in the pass, it is still a drop in the bucket.
In addition to the necessities of making a fire for cooking... In the tents of a small number of leaders of the people, as well as Zhang Wei and Zhang Yong, the nobles of Hanzhong, a group of soldiers and tribes have long been broken bonfires, and they can only snuggle up to each other... Withstand cold and humid climates.
"Zhonglang will be the head of this heavy rain at some point, it is not a way to go on like this, and please ask Zhonglang to take an idea, whether to fight or defend... There is still a charter to be made! ”
A sudden heavy rain disrupted the rhythm of the war between the two sides, and also disturbed the mood of Du Hao, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others.
But if you retreat... There is no danger to defend the ditch, it is definitely not guaranteed, and it is difficult to guarantee that Pang Xi's army will not take advantage of the rain to kill.
"You can't retreat, if you retreat and don't say that the lives of the soldiers who died in the battle for more than ten days were sacrificed in vain, the ditch will be lost... With our current troops, food and grass weapons reserves... It is bound to be lost.
If the city of Tangqu is lost, Pang Yi will have a foothold, and a steady stream of troops, grain and grass will follow, and Pang Yi will occupy a greater advantage in the meantime, and the north can attack Xuanhan lightly, and the west can capture Hanchang, and a trick may be the price of losing the whole game! What awaits us then? I don't need to say more, do I?
So... What I mean is to stick to Wakou Pass and wait for the opportunity to go out of the city and fight! ”
Different from Hanzhong and the tribes of the people, Pang Yi, who occupies the five counties of Brazil County and has the support of many families in Dongchuan... There is capital that fails, fails once, twice... As long as Pang Yi himself does not die, then Pang Yi has the capital to stand up again, but Hanzhong and the various departments of the people... No, once the city of Danqu fell, Xuanhan and Hanchang were not guaranteed, and the people of the people would definitely be hit by the madness of Pang Yi and the family clans, and Hanzhong, who had lost the people of the people, wanted to gain a foothold in Brazil County again... It's almost a delusion!
So no matter how big the price is, it must be stopped at Wakou Pass... and defeated the army of Pang Yi.
How could the Zhang clan in Hanzhong, which had worked hard for more than ten years, be defeated in the hands of Pang Yi and ruin the situation that had been maintained so hard until now?
For a while, Zhang Wei's solemn eyes revealed a bit of cold killing intent!
Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Du Hao, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and other leaders not only showed a trace of bitterness, not for Zhang Wei, but they knew very well in their hearts what Zhang Wei said, who would have thought that there would be today when they drove the wealthy families of Dongchuan out of Xuanhan and Tangqu.
With his toes, he can also imagine what kind of blow will be dealt to the people of the dove occupying the magpie's nest when a group of wealthy families of the Dongchuan family insert their hands into the Xuanhan and Danqu from the new one.
The Han people were tolerant, but at that time, for their own people, in the eyes of Pang Yi and the wealthy families of the Dongchuan family, they were beneficial... But he was never Han.
Not everyone wants to be too shou... Zhang Tianshi is like this, with a broad mind.
"But... But there's no way to go on like this..."
With a long sigh, the atmosphere inside the big tent became heavier and heavier.
"Actually, it's not impossible! The battle is not good, but the surprise attack is! ”
Looking at the map hanging in the tent, I don't know how long it took, Zhang Wei's eyes froze, and he finally made a decision.
"What does General Zhonglang mean to pick an elite detour behind Pang Yi's army?"
Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue can become tribal leaders, so they are naturally not stupid people, and with the evil art of war, they can guess what Zhang Wei meant.
"That's right, pick an elite, take advantage of the rainy night to copy the trail, avoid the eyes and ears of Pang Yi's secret sentinel, detour behind Pang Yi's army, and ambush Pang Yi's army.
Once there is a problem with the baggage, with Pang Yi's temperament, he will definitely be wrapped in worries and stop moving, and turn his head to calm down the chaos in the rear.
This will be able to buy time for our army to requisition and requisition, and it will also temporarily solve the current predicament of Wakou Pass. ”
Although the organization became clearer and clearer, Zhang Wei did not show a trace of joy to Du Hao, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others, but there was a deep concern between his words.
Infiltrating behind enemy lines and harassing is easy to say, but how difficult is it to do?
Not to mention what kind of situation this elite will face when it appears behind Pang Yi's army, it is now... How to take advantage of the rainy night to touch the Pang Yi camp is a big problem.
This is Yizhou, Brazil County, not the Central Plains, here are full of mountains and valleys, bluestone broken vines, and you still have to be careful when walking during the day, let alone between rainy nights.
Bad luck with flash floods... The annihilation of the army has not never happened.
Those who go must die nine times and live a life.
"Uncle is worried about the candidate?"
After so many days of getting along, Zhang Yong still knows Zhang Wei well, and this strategy... Zhang Wei also had a relationship with Zhang Yong in private... and several generals in Hanzhong discussed, although Zhang Wei did not mention it, but between thoughts... Zhang Yong can still guess what Zhang Wei is most distressed about at the moment?
The selected person must not only be the elite of the elite, but also be familiar with the terrain, have a strong ability to adapt to changes, and must be able to control the situation when it is critical, but these... From Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue, Zhang Wei and Zhang Yongke didn't see a shadow to rely on.
"Hahaha.... If you are worried about the candidate, Zhonglang will not have to worry!
We can transfer the guards out and form a dare to fight elite for Zhonglang to drive.
These guards are all trained by us, they are familiar with the terrain of Brazil's back, and they are all warriors who are not afraid of death, and they are handed over to them... Zhonglang will rest assured! ”
Hearing Zhang Yong's words, I saw Pu Hu laugh a long time, stood up and saluted, and without hesitation, he put himself... Together with Du Hao and Yuan Yue's personal guards, they contributed.
It gives people the illusion that you are doing things and I am relieved!
