Chapter 228: Soldiers make dangerous moves

In Yan'an City, Zhang Dashou finally felt the dilemma. Now Mizhi County and Ansai City are all occupied by officers and soldiers, and the rebel army can no longer use Yan'an Mansion as a rocker to enter Shanxi. On the contrary, those who were still restrained by the officers and soldiers did not dare to move.

Today, Yan'an City has become a chicken rib, the index finger is useless, and it is a pity to abandon it. Zhang Dashou wanted to abandon Yan'an City, go south to find the main force used by Wang, and cooperate with Gao Yingxiang to attack Xi'an Mansion with all his might, but he was afraid that Wang would be blamed for himself. Zhang Dashou has been following Wang Zibo for several years, and he still knows this leader very well, and Wang Leader is very eager to have a piece of his own territory.

In the past six months, Gao Yingxiang has taken advantage of having territory, and after entering the northwest, Gao Yingxiang did not plunder like others, but took a horse farm, patiently managed, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he actually overwhelmed the king. Naturally, the king leader didn't want to do this, so he always wanted to have a piece of his own territory and have a good rest.

Yan'an Mansion is definitely the best choice, but now, it doesn't seem easy to take Yan'an Mansion. Unable to make up his mind, Zhang Dashou had no choice but to write a letter to Wang Ziyong.

After Wang Ziyong received the letter, after learning about the situation in Yan'an Mansion, he quickly made a decision. He is indeed eager to have a piece of his own territory, but he also doesn't want to be the second Wu Yangui, if he lets Yan'an Mansion drag his footsteps, it is likely that the officers and soldiers will use Yan'an Mansion to eat away little by little. When the letter arrived in Yan'an, the peasant army on the Yan'an side began a major retreat, but Zhang Dashou and Zhang Cunmeng sent heavy troops to hold Ganquan City.

Ganquan City guards the southern gate of Yan'an Mansion, and you have to pass through Ganquan City to enter and exit Yan'an Mansion. Bypassing Sweet Springs City will inevitably come at a heavy price.

Because of the peasant army's heavy garrison of Ganquan City, Lou Daji and Sun Chuanting could only take over Yan'an and other places, and wiped out the peasant army that did not have time to retreat, and did not dare to pursue it deeply.

The peasant army withdrew, but it gave Lou Daji and others a problem. I thought that this peasant army would be like Wu Yangui, guarding Yan'an Mansion and not letting go, so that they could repeat their old tricks and take advantage of the greed of the peasant army to eat away at the opponent's strength little by little. Who would have thought that Wang Ziyong would withdraw so simply.

If you insist on going south and pursuing the peasant army, it is not impossible, but the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the area around Xi'an Mansion is almost all the main force of the peasant army, and it is easy to be ambushed by the peasant army.

In the past, as long as it was not a siege, the officers and soldiers were not afraid at all. However, now, the fighting quality of the peasant army has long been different from what it used to be, and Wang Jiayin has reused those officers and soldiers who have taken refuge in him to continue to train the troops, and the results are very remarkable. Although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the border army, at least the peasant army dares to fight and will not collapse at the first touch.

In Yan'an City, Deng Huaiyuan walked around with his hands behind his back and his brows locked, while Lou Daji, Sun Chuanting and others sat on their seats, also frowning and pondering.

"General Lou, Sun has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible!"

"Master Sun, what do you think, but it's okay to say it!" Lou Daji was worried that there was no countermeasure, so he was naturally very anxious. Sun Chuanting smiled, stood up and spread out the map, "Several generals, look here!" ”

As he spoke, Sun Chuanting pointed his finger at the name on the map, it was Sanshui County, "Several generals, the geographical location of this Sanshui County is very special, to the west you can enter Pingliang Mansion, to the southwest, you can cut into the rear of Gao Yingxiang's department and threaten Fengxiang Mansion." Now that all the other party's attention is on Xi'an Mansion, if an elite army of soldiers and horses suddenly takes Sanshui County, how will the other party react? ”

Lou Daji and the others are all old fritters who have led the soldiers for many years, and after listening to Sun Chuanting's words, their eyes suddenly lit up. If Sanshui County is really taken, it can pose a huge threat to all units of the peasant army, and at that time, the peasant army will inevitably be distracted to return to help, and even besiege Sanshui County with heavy troops, and eat the officers and soldiers of Sanshui County first, so as to relieve the worries in the rear. This plan is quite a bit of a siege of Wei to save Zhao.

Lou Daji's face was overjoyed, but soon, he was a little worried, "Well, Lord Sun, your idea is really good, but the key is in Shaanxi, where are there still elite soldiers to send?" To seize Sanshui County, you have to withstand the opponent's fierce attack. ”

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting shook his head gently, looked at Lou Daji, and said seriously: "No, General Lou, to be precise, there is an elite army near us that can complete this important task." ”

"Huh?" Lou Daji's eyes widened, and his face was a little bad, "Why didn't Ben see it?" ”

"Here, General Cao Wenzhao's border army is elite, and the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command have been trained for a long time, so it is the most suitable position for this position."

"What?" Deng Huaiyuan and the others were all a little angry, and Li Jiasheng said even more angrily, "Master Sun, what do you mean by this?" General Cao's elite soldiers and horses have always been at the forefront and guarding Xianyang. ”

Sun Chuanting frowned, and he was a little panicked in his heart. In his heart, he blamed himself for being too inconsiderate, and when he saw the anger of the people, he had to raise his hand and explain: "Several generals are angry, please listen to Sun." Hey, a few generals think about it, what is the meaning of our army defending Xianyang? Isn't it to contain a large number of thieves and reduce the pressure on Xi'an? Abandoning Xianyang and taking Sanshui County can also contain most of the thieves? ”

"That's true, but Master Sun, don't forget, if the thieves don't care about Sanshui County and want to take Xi'an Mansion first, then we will become sinners, who can afford this crime?"

Sun Chuanting suddenly frowned, and there was a trace of unhappiness in his heart, "Several generals, Sun just said what he thought in his heart. However, there is never a foolproof strategy in the way of using troops, and it is necessary to take some risks. It is not difficult to see that if our army takes Sanshui County, it will be difficult for the thieves to continue to storm Xi'an, unless they are crazy, regardless of the danger behind, even if Xianyang may be flanked, they will not hesitate. It can only be said that the possibility of our success is very high, and the key is whether we dare to take this risk. ”

At this time, Lou Daji had calmed down, he knew that what Sun Chuanting said was very reasonable, in fact, he was also very tempted. Now the situation in Shaanxi is in a mess, and if you want to open up the situation, you can only make dangerous moves. The art of war is feasible, but it is very difficult to implement, "Lord Sun, we are not rushing at you, you rarely lead the troops, you don't know our difficulties, this method, Inspector Yang will not agree." ”

Sun Chuanting was speechless, and only then did he realize that it was not Cao Wenzhao or Lou Daji who really made the decision in Shaanxi, but Yang He, the governor of the three sides in Xi'an. Lou Daji and others knew the dangerous moves, but Yang He didn't know that in the eyes of Inspector Yang, the safety of Xi'an Mansion was more important than everything, in his opinion, Xi'an Mansion had a very special significance, once it fell, it would be a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty.

For the sake of the safety of Xi'an Mansion, Inspector Yang will not take a little more risk.
