Chapter 158: Dogs' Teeth Intertwined
"It turns out that the general has already led his troops south......"
Knowing that Luoyang was recovered, the tiger prison was overcome, and Xingyang was burned down, Yan Lishi finally understood why Yuan Mulan risked the annihilation of the whole army and confronted Xu You in Junyi, and refused to withdraw no matter how much he was advised.
They desperately dragged Xu You's main force, for Yuanguang's wonderful blow!!
"Yes, the general led 5,000 Baibao Xianbei, hidden in the inconspicuous of the eldest grandson's huge and complex tribes, thus avoiding the eyes and ears of the secret mansion, and then crossed the pass in the starry night, and stationed troops at the mustard ridge at the southern foot of Wangwu Mountain. To the west of Mustard Ridge, Xue Xuanmo and Yin Zhaobu of the Chu army are fiercely fighting with our army to the east of the river, and to the east of Mustard Ridge, there are 100,000 troops of Changsun Sheng entrenched......
Yuan Mulan said calmly: "The general has carefully studied the combat style of Xu You and Ye Min, and it is expected that Ye Min will replace the defense with attack, looking for an opportunity to eat the army of Changsun Sheng in Yewang City, so he patiently waited for Ye Min to lead the Chifeng army to cross the Yellow River, and then he went out from Mustard Ridge day and night, and at the agreed time, quickly occupied Mengjindu, and joined forces with Zheng Shili and Waiwai, and finally succeeded in capturing Luoyang. ”
Yan Lishi couldn't help but say, "Isn't General Changsun's 100,000 steps a bait?" Why didn't the general attack from behind when Ye Min attacked General Changsun, so that he could not only defeat Ye Min, but also keep General Changsun's ......"
"In addition to the Chifeng Army, those who went out with Ye Min also included Tang Zhijian's Zhenhai Capital! Zhenhaidu's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, according to the incomplete assessment of the Ministry of War, even if it is not as good as Baibaoxianbei, it is estimated that it is not far behind, and the general is only 5,000 people, and there is no absolute certainty that the Chu army will be completely annihilated in a short time. If the battle situation reaches a stalemate, or a small part is released, causing the vigilance of the Luoyang side, even if the Zheng clan is the internal response, we will completely lose the opportunity to capture Luoyang......"
"For the sake of the overall situation," her voice was a little low, "So, General Changsun's sacrifice is worth it!" ”
Isn't it really because the power of the eldest grandson clan is too great?
Changsun Sheng's defeat may affect Taiwei Changsun Di!
However, these power disputes in the court have nothing to do with him.
The early morning sun shines through the window lintel, shining on Yan Lishi's face, he takes a long breath, kneels down from the table, bows his head, and says, "Your Highness, please give an order!" If there is an afterlife, I am still willing to be protected by the ancestral spirit and live, follow His Highness to fight in all directions, and then die for the Great Xianbei Mountain! ”
Yuan Mulan got up and walked out, stopped at the door, and her graceful figure was bathed in a golden halo, like a fairy of the Nine Heavens, floating into the world.
"Go with peace of mind! Your family will not be affected, and I will keep them safe for a day! ”
When Yan Lishi looked up again, he couldn't see Yuan Mulan's figure, he walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and his demeanor became calm and calm.
"What beautiful autumn colors!"
The death of the banquet Lishi, completely shocked the whole army, in a three-grade high position, from a famous family, the emperor was honored and favored by the tiger Wei Zhonglang general, so he did not ask for a decree and beheaded him, even He Bayun, who had heard the banquet Lishi soldiers, could not sit still, in front of everyone, took off his robe, only wore trousers, tied his bare back with a bow at the end of the horns, held a pair of antlers, and knelt down into the account.
This is the etiquette of Xianbei people to express their submission, Yuan Mulan took the horns, took the horns and slapped He Bayun on the back three times with the bow to show punishment, and then helped him up, and said softly: "Old general, don't take it as an example!" ”
He Bayun was sweating all over, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
Since then, no one dared to question Yuan Mulan's decision-making in any way, especially after the battle in Luoyang was turned upside down, and her prestige soared to the highest peak ever.
Unlike Junyi City, which was full of excitement and high fighting spirit, the atmosphere in Zhongmu City was colder than the cold wind in late autumn and early winter, and the hall of the City Lord's Mansion was silent, and the generals looked solemn, as if they had not recovered from the news of the fall of Luoyang.
Yes, seeing that the victory is in hand and the achievement is about to be accomplished, but suddenly the elbows and armpits, the backyard is on fire, and no one can accept it for a while.
"Why, before the frost fell, you were wilted?" Xu You looked around and said with a smile: "Who is Yuanguang?" When he started to kill the enemy on horseback, many of you here probably hadn't touched a sword or gun, and as for me, I wasn't born yet......
Xu You deliberately said it easily, and the generals also tried hard to cheer, but they couldn't grin. Hou Mo Yaming, as the expedition of the levy department, is also qualified to rank in the festival hall, seeing the scene is deserted, he consciously took the praise, and said: "The general is born to know, and we are a few years older, and it is difficult to reach the general." ”
This sycophant is straightforward and fiery, quite shameful, most of the generals have their heads down, no one answers, and the embarrassing toes can pick out a set of front and back five into the house.
What else can Xu You do, smiling and casting a approving gaze at him, Hou Mo Yaming suddenly became energetic, opened his mouth to continue, was quickly interrupted by Xu You, pulled the topic back to the right path, and said: "The Northern Wei Dynasty has fought in the south and the north over the years, destroyed countless countries, and opened up tens of thousands of miles of territory, what do you rely on?" It relies on Yuanguang's great military exploits and invincible prestige! We can't expect to be able to defeat such a formidable enemy in less than a month with just 200,000 parts...... If the enemy is so vulnerable, then what is the blood and tears shed by our Han people for more than 100 years? ”
"When leaving Chang'an, the army agreed on six strategic goals, one of which was to hurt the enemy so that he would not dare to covet the territory for ten years; Second, train the troops and train their courage, so that our army will no longer be afraid of the Wei army like a tiger; Third, destroy the enemy's living forces, and don't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place...... Come to think of it, did we do that? Yuan Mulan's 50,000 elite cavalry went south, and now includes the 2,000 cavalry left outside Cangyuan City and the 2,000 cavalry stationed in Xiangyi by Li Boqian, and there are at most 30,000 people, a loss of nearly half of the total. The soldiers were no longer the same as they used to see the Wei cavalry trembling in fright, and they dared to fight and rush, not only training their courage, but also their spirit...... Compared with Luoyang, these are the most important gains of our battle! ”
The generals felt better, and Xu You's words were like an empowerment, freeing them from the frenzy of successive victories. In fact, when I fought with Yuan Mulan, I already felt the power of the Wei army's cavalry, but my own side was relatively powerful, the time and place were favorable, and he firmly controlled the strategic initiative, so he could force Yuan Mulan into a dead end step by step.
But there is not only one Yuan Mulan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Guang is the pillar of optimus that supports the Northern Wei Dynasty, he chose the most appropriate time and in the most unexpected way, appeared in the most unexpected position, and pinched the seven inches of the Chu army.
When you think about it, it's unexpected, but it's also reasonable.
Tan Zhuo sighed: "Now it seems that Yuan Yu's suspicion of Yuan Guang, Yuan Guang's resignation and cultivation, and all kinds of undercurrents in Pingcheng are all tricks to cover people's ears...... Yuan Yu can hand over Baibao Xianbei to Yuanguang Commander, does it mean that his trust in Yuanguang is the same as before? ”
He Wei said coldly: "That's not necessarily! Yuan Yu is not a saint, Yuan Guanggong is a high shocking master, how can there be no suspicion? It's just that Yuan Yu is an immortal hero, and at a critical juncture, suspicion can be put aside for the time being, not only to reuse Yuan Guang again, but even to hand over Baibao Xianbei to show grace...... But after the war, if Yuanguang does not rebel, there is only a dead end. ”
"Why?" Mi Po touched the wonder.
"Save the sky, save the community, protect the territory and the people, if the people are the lord, then the prosperity will gradually prosper, the government and the opposition will be peaceful, if the people and ministers will do it, then the internal and external uneasiness, the four seas slander. Over time, the Holy Lord will not tolerate it, let alone the Male Lord? ”
Mi Po subconsciously turned his head to look at Xu You, seeing that he was smiling, he couldn't see his joy and anger, and suddenly had a slight realization in his heart, and he was busy sitting still, looking at his nose and nose, and his nose and heart, and he didn't dare to answer He Wei's words.
Although this is talking about Yuanguang, but Xu You and Yuanguang are so similar, he is even more powerful than Yuanguang...... Yuanguang has no way to live, so what will happen to Xu You?
Mi Po secretly pinched his sweat, how dare he sacrifice wine so boldly, dare to sarcastically admonish the general in front of him, what does he want to do?
Tan Zhuo diverted the topic and said: "Regardless of whether Yuanguang will cook the rabbit and the dog, that is a later story, now that Luoyang has been taken away by him, then will we counterattack Luoyang next, or will we first conquer Junyi nearby, and then attack Luoyang?" Let's discuss! ”
Tan Xiaozu said in a deep voice: "Yuanguang only has 5,000 people in his hands, and the strength is seriously insufficient, so it is not a big problem for our army to counterattack Luoyang." It's just that Yuan Mulan still has more than 20,000 cavalry, if she refuses to fight, we can't catch up when she runs, and if she turns around, she can attack our flank at any time......"
This is the difficulty of the cavalry, if Xu You counterattacks Luoyang, the distance from Zhongmu to the Tiger Prison will take about a day and a night by land, Yuan Mulan can attack from any angle, any place and any time, and no matter how well-trained the troops are, they can't withstand it. But if you take the waterway, the land route is given to Yuan Mulan, going upstream, the speed of the boat is not as fast as the cavalry, she rushed to Luoyang in advance, Yuan Guang's strength will reach 30,000, and if you want to conquer it at that time, the price paid will be rolled in geometric multiples, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Zuo Yan frowned and said: "Fortunately, there is not much grain in Luoyang, and about eighty percent of the grain and grass transported from Chang'an have been transported to Zhongmu in advance, and the time is still on our side." Yuan Mulan refused to fight a decisive battle, so she was trapped to death in Junyi, and with the grain and grass that Junyi had hoarded, she couldn't hold on for long. ”
Cao Qing agreed with Zuo Yan and said: "Yes, Yuanguang seized Luoyang, which seems to have taken advantage, but he and Bai Baoxian were also nailed to Luoyang, and they couldn't move at all." We can let Zhu Gong recruit new soldiers in Chang'an, the people of Qindi are fierce, and there are many veterans of the original Xiliang, and tens of thousands of soldiers can be recruited day and night, enrich the Qinzhou army, and then choose a good general to go out of Tongguan and enter Hongnong, and then use the Youdu army to march east along the Yellow River, both by land and water, to maintain the coercive situation of Luoyang, and then concentrate the troops, and eat Yuan Mulan first! ”
The current situation, in layman's terms, is very similar to the Battle of Ping'angrad, that is, Li Yunlong beat the northwest of Jin into a pot of porridge, which is the entire Luozhou into a pot of porridge.
Draw a line on the map, west of Luoyang, Hongnong County and Tongguan are all in the hands of the Chu army, but Yuanguang occupies Luoyang, east of Luoyang, Xu You occupies Zhongmu, but east of Zhongmu, Yuan Mulan occupies Junyi.
That is to say, you have me, I have you, the dogs and teeth are intertwined, and it is really a matter of moving the whole body, and the situation is extremely complicated.
"What about the opinion of the military division?"
Xu You used to listen to other people's opinions first, and then ask He Wei last. Generally speaking, He Wei will synthesize everyone's opinions, and then put forward the plan that best meets Xu You's wishes.
He Wei shook his head and said, "I'm still thinking about it, please discuss it first!" ”
Tan Zhuo was not hypocritical, and said to himself: "Yuanguang is not strong enough, but he can occupy the tiger prison, and this Mingyue General is famous and very difficult to deal with, you can refer to General Cao's proposal to use the Youdu Army and the Chang'an Army to nail him to death in Luoyang." ”
He pointed to the sand table and said: "Then take the headquarters of General Mi Po as the rear army, camp at the foot of Mu Mountain, and use Zhongmu as horns for each other, and prevent Yuanguang from making another surprise attack on my rear from Luoyang." After that, I suggested that there should be no further delay, and that all forces should be concentrated and an immediate assault on Junyi. If Yuan Mulan wants to fight to the death, it would be better, just annihilate it at any cost. If she retreats in a hurry, we can safely counterattack Luoyang, as long as we can defeat Yuanguang and Baibao Xianbei, the military victory is secondary, and the most important thing is that it will boost the morale of our army to the point of no return......"
