Chapter 1220: Doomed to defeat before the war began

"Order Qin Qiong to be the main general, Wei Chigong and Xiong Kuohai to be the deputy generals, and lead 10,000 troops to enter Yique Pass."

There are still 20,000 troops in Luoyang City, but transferring 10,000 is already the limit, after all, 10,000 troops are not enough to hold Luoyang, but it can ensure that Luoyang will not be in chaos, and if Luoyang, as the imperial capital, does not even have 10,000 troops, then there may be some chaos.

After transferring 10,000 troops from Luoyang, Sizhou's troops have been irretrievable, but the problem of Guangchengguan has not been solved, but Jia Xu has obviously already made a decision.

"Ordered Nanxiang to guard Zhang Liao, lead 10,000 troops to Guangcheng Pass, and make Nanyang too guard Qin Zheng, and send the general Gao Shun to lead 10,000 troops to Guangcheng. Zhang Liao is the main general, and Gao Shun is the deputy general. ”

In the Battle of Jingbei, Gao Shun was seriously injured by Liu Xiu, and now that more than a year has passed, his injuries have naturally healed, so he can also return to the battlefield.

After Jingbei was divided by Qin Hao, there were six counties, and the Qin army only occupied four and a half counties, namely: Nanyang, Nanxiang, Zhangling, Xiangyang, and the small half of Nanjun.

As for the other two counties, most of Nanjun belongs to Liu Xiu, and Jiangxia County belongs to Huangzu.

The Qin army had 120,000 troops in the five counties of Jingbei, of which 60,000 troops were on the Xiangyang line, and 20,000 each in the other three counties.

The combination between Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, coupled with the garrison of 20,000 troops, the defense of Guangchengguan can be described as invulnerable.

Yuan Shu probably couldn't have imagined that he had just prepared to send troops on his front foot, and he wanted to take the Qin army by surprise, but Jia Xu was fully prepared on the back foot.

Xu Huang, Qin Yi, and Qin Huaiyu led 10,000 troops to guard the Tiger Pass;

Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Xiongkuohai, Guan Sheng, led 20,000 troops to defend Yique Pass;

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led 20,000 troops to defend Guangcheng Pass.

Tan Daoji and Qin Jian led 10,000 troops to guard Luoyang;

Jia Xu's troop arrangement can be said to have used the limited forces to the most useful position, so that Sizhou's defense is almost in a perfect state.

The Qin army now occupies the right time, place, and people, even if Yuan Shu's 250,000 troops are all dispatched, it may not be useful, so this time Zhao Kuangyin's surprise attack on Guangcheng Pass is probably doomed to return in vain.

Before this battle began, Yuan Shu was doomed to defeat.

"Lord Jia, when the lord went north, he ordered Yue Fei to send troops to prevent Liu Xiu from unifying Jingnan.

Yue Fei ordered the decisive army to lead the army to attack Nanjun, and also achieved great results, and now the army has been under the city of Jiangling, and forced Liu Xiu of Jingnan to give up the formation Jingnan, and personally lead the army back to rescue Jiangling. ”

Speaking of this, Xun Yu's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of regret, and then continued: "Now that our army and Yuan Shu are about to go to war, in order to avoid falling into a two-front battle. Should Yue Fei be ordered to retreat to ensure that our army has sufficient strength to deal with the next Yuan Shu army. ”

Now that Liu Xiu has led the army back, the troops he brought back are not many, and what really does it only serve is a morale boost, so if Yue Fei continues to fight, it is very likely that Yue Fei will defeat Liu Xiu.

At that time, the Qin army will occupy the entire Jingbei except Jiangxia County, and the territory will also advance to the north bank of the Yangtze River to sit on the Yangtze River defense line.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu's 250,000 army is about to attack, and Jia Xu will never let the Qin army risk fighting on two fronts, so no matter how rich the results of Nanjun are, Yue Fei must return to the army immediately in order to take care of the overall situation.

"Wen Ruo is right, it's too risky to start a war on two fronts, so let's let Yue Fei retreat first, and when Yuan Shu is repulsed, it's not too late to continue to conquer Nanjun." Jia Xu said seriously.

Yue Fei, who was leading the troops in Jiangling, was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother after receiving Jia Xu's order, of course he didn't want to scold Jia Xu, but Yuan Shu.

Since Yue Fei became the Taishou of Xiangyang, he has always wanted to open the territory for the Lord, but the center of the Qin army is in the north, and there is not much room for him to exert himself in the south, except for defense or defense.

Now that he finally got the order that the lord could attack, and Yue Fei had almost given Nanjun a strategy, he was about to capture Jiangling as a fortified city, and Nanjun was completely owned by the Qin army.

As long as Yue Fei was given the last ten days, he would be sure to capture Jiangling, but at this time, Yuan Shu was going to send troops to attack the rear of the Qin army, which made Yue Fei's hard work completely wasted.

It's just a little bit of success, a little bit!

Although Yue Fei was extremely unwilling in his heart, he also understood the priority of the matter, after all, as a hub connecting the two states, Sizhou was more important than the five southern counties, so Yue Fei had to give up the southern county and return to the army even if he was reluctant.

Seeing that Yue Fei took the initiative to withdraw his troops, Liu Xiu thought that this was a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, after all, Yue Fei had also played this before, and when Liu Xiu reacted, Yue Fei's army had already returned to Xiangyang City.

"Master Jia, this time Yuan Shu suddenly transferred troops to attack, there must be some reason for this."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu clenched his fists and said: "I think that I should send a messenger to condemn and question Yuan Shu, and at the same time, I am exploring the reason for Yuan Shu's transformation. ”

For today's Qin army, this battle is naturally not the best, after all, in the case of the main force going north to the Hetao, the strength of the Qin army in Sizhou and Jingzhou is indeed weaker than Yuan Shu's army, and the war always has to take risks, why take risks if you can not take risks.

After listening to Xun Yu's words, Jia Xu decided to send an envoy to persuade Yuan Shu, it would be best if he could become natural, and if he didn't, he would start a war with Yuan Shu.

As for the candidate for the envoy, Jia Xu finally chose to send Di Renjie.

Through this period of time together, Jia Xu found that Di Renjie was not only eloquent, but also delicate, and his observation ability was even more nuanced.

After Di Renjie received the order, he immediately rushed to Yuzhou non-stop, and when he arrived, Zhao Kuangyin's army had already set off, so Di Renjie didn't even rest, and immediately identified himself and asked to meet Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was not so afraid that even the envoys of the Qin army did not dare to see him, and when Di Renjie saw Yuan Shu, he immediately persuaded Yuan Shu from various aspects, such as: The strength comparison between the two sides, the probability of winning the battle of Hetao is greater for the Qin and Jin armies.

Di Renjie's negotiation skills are still extremely clever, but Yuan Shu's heart to seize Sizhou is very firm, Di Renjie struggled to persuade Yuan Shu to withdraw from the army, but when he was about to leave Yuzhou, he made a shocking discovery.

Ten days later, Di Renjie returned to Luoyang and told Jia Xu: "Lord Qiyu, his subordinates are incompetent, and he did not persuade Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops, but he ......"
