Chapter 883: Outpost
Qinghe County, Ganling City.
The arrival of the rainy season in midsummer interfered with the movement of the Wei army's exploration and cavalry and messengers, and also brought a lot of pressure to Sima Yi, who was stationed here.
At the same time, I am fortunate that Hebei has various obstacles to the promotion of wheat planting, so rice, corn and millet are mainly planted...... It just so happens that the harvest will not be affected by this widespread rainfall that lasts for three or four days.
Production will definitely be affected, but there will be no extinction.
However, the large-scale rainfall will inevitably lead to the rise of the Zhangshui, Qingshui, Qishui, and Baigou water systems, which will facilitate the movement of government soldiers and boats.
With the arrogance of the government soldiers, wherever the ships could reach, the government soldiers dared to set up camps and strongholds.
In other words, if you can't intercept the opponent's sailor, then the opponent can go straight to Yedu.
In a sense, Yedu is too close to the Yellow River, and there is a kind of spirit of the Son of Heaven guarding the country.
Sima Yi waited quietly, he couldn't convince the Wei army to take the initiative to sneak attack, but he was able to make some bluff feints...... This is very likely to provoke the other party and make the arrogant government soldiers take the initiative to attack.
Everyone has their own concerns, and the focus of Sima Yi's concerns is Tian Xin.
Tian Xin did not dare to move lightly because his name was undecided, and he did not dare to leave Guanzhong.
As long as Tian Xin stays in Guanzhong to stare at the emperor of the Han dynasty and the close relatives of the imperial family, then the entire army of the government will be stable. If you leave and go to Hebei in person, something extremely terrifying may happen.
And this kind of small probability event of change in the backyard of the government soldiers is the greatest hope for the Wei State to turn around...... With Tian Xin's steadiness, this possibility will definitely be strangled.
Therefore, the situation is very unfavorable to the Wei State, when the construction of the new Chang'an City is completed, it means that Tian Xin has completed the internal and external preparations for the destruction of Wei.
Tian Xin, who has made all preparations, will definitely represent the Han Dynasty and be the emperor, smooth out the interior, and then launch a personal campaign.
If Tian Xin is personally conscripted, Great Wei can mobilize more than 500,000 troops to the limit...... But nearly half of the 500,000 troops are young people who grew up listening to Tian Xin's horror stories, and the rest of the middle-aged and middle-aged people are even more different.
When it comes to Tian Xin's personal expedition, the war to destroy Wei is very likely to be an armed march, and there will not be too many battles, let alone any tug-of-war, repetition or reversal.
Therefore, it is necessary to rush before Tian Xin Dai Han, carry out all kinds of stimulation, and provoke the government soldiers to take the initiative to attack.
In this way, Dawei has a defensive advantage, and he still has the strength to fight.
It's such a simple relationship between severity and importance, and it is impossible to convince the DPRK and China to live or die...... Since it is impossible to convince, it has to create established facts.
Once the government soldiers launch an attack on the whole front, there is no way for the Wei army to slack off!
Hebei's biggest disadvantage is that there is no danger to defend, and Yedu is even more so; In the face of the enemy's attack on the south bank of the Yellow River, there was hardly any dangerous place to fight for an inch.
As long as the supplies are sufficient, the government soldiers can perform a certain 'leapfrog' tactic, that is, bypass the current city and continue to advance along the river and road supply lines until they encircle Yedu.
Just as the Cao army defeated Er Yuan back then, they first pulled out Yuan Tan's southern skin, causing Yuan Shang in Yedu to lose his flanks. Subsequently, Cao's army rushed to march from all directions, and the main force confronted Yuan Shang in Yedu, and then divided his troops to cut off the connection between Yedu and the surrounding fulcrum cities, and gathered superior forces in the local area to break the strongholds one by one.
Coupled with the means of appeasement and tenderness, the defense system centered on Yedu was disintegrated.
At that time, the Cao army was Zang Ba in the east, the married Sun family in the southeast, Liu Biao in the southwest, and the generals in Guanzhong in the west...... Therefore, the forces that can be put on the front line are limited, and they do not dare to go all out.
Now the government soldiers can mobilize all the manpower and material resources on the north bank of the Yangtze River to join this war, and the situation is different from that of Cao and Yuan fighting for Hebei in the past.
Cao's army was unstable in the future, and did not dare to fight a long-term confrontation war, so it was unable to devote all its strength.
The tactics are mainly to divide, encroach and weaken Hebei, as if a group of wolves are biting bison, it is a little bit of hunting, before and after several sabotage wars, before and after several years of time at the cost of time, until the defeat of Hebei's fighting spirit and bearing capacity, it is decided in the final battle.
Based on this war in which many people participated in that year, the decision-making level of Yedu believed that the destruction of Wei in Beifu would also be such a repeated see-saw process.
thinks that Great Wei can withstand the first few rounds of wars in Beifu, as long as he can bear it, he can train real elite soldiers, or elite soldiers who have a deep blood feud with the government soldiers.
But these people's opinions are somewhat wishful thinking, and because of the stains of the past, it is difficult for Sima Yi to convince these people...... had no choice but to save the country and stimulate the government soldiers to attack in advance.
My heart is open, quietly waiting for news from the front.
As soon as the news came, he immediately retreated from Ganling to his base camp, Guangzong City.
Guangzong City is a transportation artery, no matter how the government soldiers march, Guangzong City is a necessary place that cannot be bypassed. Gathering enough troops here will definitely attract and contain the main force of the government soldiers and reduce the pressure on the Yedu side.
Yedu can stabilize its position here and deal with it calmly, and the acropolis and peripheral strongholds established around Yedu can be stably defended by the fortress city.
If the main force of the Northern Mansion surrounds Yedu, then gather forces to sweep and uproot the strongholds and acropolis around Yedu...... That's bad, so the main force of the government must be attracted and distributed from the flanks.
"Father, Xiahou Nan is in a hurry!"
Sima Shi strode over, holding the military intelligence express in his hand, the rain wet his robe, and his voice was hurried: "The enemy soldiers crossed the river from Gaotangjin, about 5,000 people!" ”
Sima Yi, who was pretending to sleep, was awakened, and listened to the five thousand people in a moment's stunned, then took a deep breath and caught the bamboo tube behind him, cut the lacquer seal with his fingernails, took out the silk book, and spread it out on the palm of his hand to examine the handwriting.
The crowd of 5,000 people, according to the military system of the government soldiers, should be one of the six regiments of the 14th Zhaoren Division, a regiment of 2,000 people, plus sailors, nearby county soldiers, and people, the scale is about four or five thousand.
The Zhaoren Division was adapted from the main force of the Chinese army of Emperor Chengzu of the Han Dynasty, and the middle and high-level military officials were selected and promoted by Emperor Chengzu, so they did not lack the courage to fight.
It was only a hundred miles from Gao Tangjin to Ganling, Sima Yi stared at the date, and saw that it was sent by Xiahou Nan from Xiu County, more than 200 miles away, yesterday afternoon, and suddenly his skin and flesh trembled in horror, and his eyes were round.
Xiuxian County is 200 miles northeast of Gaotangjin, and Xiahou Nan obtained the military information of Gaotangjin 200 miles away, and then issued a notice to himself 200 miles away...... And he is actually a hundred miles away from Gao Tangjin.
The military intelligence was rushed around in a circle, which meant that Zhaorenshi did not know his location, perhaps the target of this army that crossed the river first was Xiahou Nan, who was cultivating immortals.
Xiahou Nan was the commander of the eastern front of the Wei army, responsible for the defense of the three counties of Qinghe, Hejian and Bohai.
Thinking of the reconnaissance ability of the government soldiers, they may have set their sights on the messenger sent to Ganling by Xiahou Nan.
also felt the deep malice from Xiahou Nan, Sima Yi didn't dare to delay: "Quickly prepare the horse, and withdraw back to Guangzong City with me!" ”
Sima Shi was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked away without saying a word.
