Chapter 350: Authorization
In Runan, the Wu army reoccupied the deserted and empty city.
The march in the land of Lianghuai in winter has exposed the shortcomings of Wu's heavy reliance on boats.
So much so that after the river froze, the Wu army could not muster enough baggage vehicles for long-distance marching, and also lacked animal power.
When marching into Runan in the autumn, there was no difference between putting in an army of 20,000 or 30,000 or 50,000 or 60,000; At present, the number of troops that can be put into Runan is only more than 10,000, and the logistics are already tight.
Pan Jun personally commanded this outpost army and discussed the fighters with Sun Xing, the general of Wuwu, and Sun Cheng, the general of Weiwu.
In the past, the so-called discussion was only to discuss whether to continue to defend Runan or withdraw the army, not whether to march into the army.
This time, Pan Jun was ready to propose an army, and he could no longer stay in Runan, which was a bit dangerous.
Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are both idle people, one is long, the other is enthusiastic, and both of them may go to Runan to take a trip.
More than 10,000 Wu troops are invested in the current Wankou battlefield, and there will not even be a splash.
The Wei army in the first battle of Eagle Mountain was too tragic, and since the beginning of the war, the Wei army has lost nearly 20,000 people in the Shouchun battlefield; After the Battle of Wankou, Zhang Liao lost 20,000 people, and then Cao Ren was seriously ill, and Cao Xiu and Pei Qian changed their guards, resulting in the collapse of Pei Qian's Yuzhou Army and the loss of more than 10,000 people.
The Beifu soldiers crossed the Wei defense line in Yunxian County and forced the Su Zeyanzhou army in Shaoling to rebel, which was another 20,000 men.
Subsequently, the people of Yanzhou supported the restoration and enthronement of Liu Xie, the original son of heaven, which led to the detachment of the Qingxu Cao Zhi army from the Wei army, and the Wei army not only lost 30,000 Cao Zhi, but also lost the Qingxu population that had been recuperating for more than 20 years.
In the end, Cao Zhen led the Guanzhong Army to arrive to participate in the battle, and the more than 30,000 troops of Cao Hong's guard army were almost wiped out, except for Zhang He who led the Chinese army to break through with more than 30,000 foot troops, and the rest of Cao Zhen's controlled infantry were almost all gathered and annihilated by the Han army, and this part of the force was about 60,000 or 70,000.
During the period from the Battle of Weishui to the Battle of Eagle Mountain, the Wei army suffered a cumulative loss of at least 180,000, and if it was more, it should be 200,000.
and count 200,000 losses, of which the Han army absorbs 20,000, and the captives should be about 100,000; 450,000 people were discharged from the army for the people.
In addition to the more than 30,000 people taken by Cao Zhi and the Wei army that died in battle, the remaining 130,000 to 150,000 Ding Zhuang will be absorbed by the Han army.
In other words, next year, the Han army will go on another northern expedition, and there will be an additional 100,000 fresh troops.
The Han army fought more and more...... Things that are difficult to solve on the battlefield can only be solved from other occasions.
Cao Xiu is now also leading his troops out, with a force of between fifty and sixty thousand.
Therefore, the dignified Great Wei, the 400,000 Great Wei with armor, the strength of the army is about 150,000 at the moment, and there is no strength to expand outward, so he can only watch Cao Zhi, Liu Xie, and Liu Feng cut off the four states of Yanyu, Qingxu and Xu.
The Wei army was greatly weakened, and many things had room for maneuver.
Cao Zhi, Liu Xie, Liu Feng, and Cao Xiu combined, with a strength of about 100,000 to 120,000, barely possessed the strength to protect themselves, and were unable to counterattack the weakened Cao Pi.
Unless there is a great change in Hebei...... There was such a possibility, and the entire Great Wei abandoned Cao Pi, supported Cao Zhi, and locked Liu Xie up again.
But in this way, the morale of the Han army was always lacking.
Therefore, it is necessary to hold high the battle banner of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and turn the battle of Han and Wei into a civil war of the Han family.
And his own side will also participate in it, as the identity of the Han Wu Army, for the Han Emperor Liu Bei's rebellion.
The development of the world is impermanent, and this impermanence is close to shamelessness.
Perhaps something even more shameless will happen, Pan Jun's thinking is focused on the strategic aspect, and he does not care about the war in front of him.
The Battle of Eagle Mountain has been fought, and the worst thing for the Wei army is to rely on the eight passes of Luoyang to resist hard, waiting for Cao Zhi and his own reinforcements.
In the course of this rescue, there should be a meeting of the alliance.
Such an important meeting was about to be held, but he sent himself to lead more than 10,000 new troops to garrison Runan...... Pan Jun was a little cold-hearted.
However, the crown prince Sun Deng has been killed, and Sun Quan's second son, his intended son-in-law, Sun Weiying, is wise and resolute, and has the spirit of a generation of heroes.
The dispute with Sun Quan can be sorted out slowly and calculated slowly.
The Han army fought successively, whether it continued to attack the eight passes of Luoyang, or retreated, and divided a partial army to Runan, which was close at hand, no matter how you look at it, it is not something that more than 10,000 people in your hands can resist.
The city of Runan is strong, and its own side also has the will to fight, but the land supply means of the Wu army is the biggest short leg.
It is already difficult to transport supplies for himself, if Sun Quan comes to the rescue with the main force...... It is estimated that after a land march of 500 miles, the 100,000 troops under Sun Quan will have to run out of food and collapse without a fight.
The current Wu army could not adapt to the Central Plains battlefield, so it was lucky that the main decisive battle did not break out with the Han army and the Wei army.
Otherwise, the Huaisi and Ruying water systems are narrow, and the Wu army will be defeated, and there will be no place to run.
Therefore, now Runan City alone is a Jedi, and it cannot play the role of early warning, nor can it play the role of containing the Han army.
What is this trying to do?
Therefore, Pan Jun proposed: "The Han army is proud of its victory, and it will have the heart of full merit, and the Han army has always despised our army." Therefore, I expected that the main force of the Han army was weak in the foreign grain road, and it was the time for me to attack and disturb. ”
Sun Xing and Sun An were surprised, and Sun Xing gave his hand: "Governor, my grain road is also insufficient, if I enter the army again, I am afraid that the army will not continue to have food." ”
There was a lack of animal power, a lack of vehicles, and even less a lack of cavalry.
Without sufficient cavalry, it is impossible to carefully reconnoiter the way, and it is impossible to guard against the Han army's reconnaissance cavalry.
As the supply line lengthened and approached the reconnaissance range of the Han army, the grain road would become the hunting object of the Han army.
Without intelligence superiority, our own grain transport team is doomed to be miserable...... In this case, who would dare to send grain to the front?
Sun An also objected: "I have no successor army, I come forward alone, there is no response from outside, and sooner or later I will lose." ”
Pan Jun asked rhetorically: "I am a lone soldier, and I shouldn't go alone." But I have the grace of the Supreme Knowledge, and I deserve to die of worry. Now is the time when the kettle is broken, why have any doubts? ”
Sun Xing and Sun An were silent and did not agree.
At this time, the military situation on the front line came, and after Pan Jun reviewed it, the scout captain came: "The Hanzhong army returned to the Wankou camp?" ”
"Yes, yesterday at dawn, the camp was pulled from Kunyang to the south, and the Han lord's headquarters was stationed in the camp around Shenshi."
The scout captain had two beards and a lean appearance: "This morning, the Han army Guan Yun Changbu transferred and captured the Wei army. In addition, there was chaos in Fangcheng the night before, or it was said that Ma Kang was rebelling, or Wu Ban was rebelling, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. ”
"Who is the latter?"
"Naitian, Zhang's second department, and Ma Mengqi's department have been evacuated from Yun County, and only the displaced people remain in Yun County."
Pan Jun took a deep look at Sun Xing and Sun An, these two people did not dare to enter or retreat.
There is no point in discussing with them, they can't make their own ideas, and now they can only talk to Sun Quan and talk about the fighter.
To chase or not, it depends on whether Sun Quan authorizes it.
On the other side, Yingyin Pavilion.
Cao Xiu decided to leave, naturally he would not be polite to Cao Pi and Cao Zhen, and had already set fire to the Yingyin Mansion and burned it to ashes.
To this day, the embers have not been extinguished, and there is always some remaining food that has not been burned.
Cao Zhen led the officials to search for edible food, and what people couldn't eat, horses could always eat.
The infantry has marched towards Xingyang and Hugao Pass under the leadership of Sima Yi, Zhang He, and Zhao Yandu, and they will enrich the defense of Luoyang Baguan and be the main force to resist the invasion of the Han army.
Perhaps Luoyang abandoned the defense, and the whole army crossed the river from Hanoi County back to Hebei, which is also a way out.
Using the Yellow River as a barrier, licking the wounds to recuperate the people, and sitting and watching the Han army, Cao Zhi, Liu Feng, and Sun Quan fight.
Cao Zhen led more than 10,000 cavalry to break the army, and also ensured the order of the army's retreat.
Should I chase it or not?
Whether Tian Xin's old injuries occurred or the Han army retreated, it was likely that he was plotting against himself.
After thinking about it, Cao Zhen had no choice but to fly to Luoyang and ask Cao Pi for tactical guidance.
Whether to pursue or not, it should be authorized by Cao Pi.
After all, the overseer Sima Yi is not there, and although he is modest, he can ...... Can't afford to be defeated.
