Chapter 1009: Worried
It didn't seem to have gone far before it became dark and we had to start setting up camp. ~with~dream~small~say~ั~suimะตng~lฤ
The opening of the army is the most cumbersome, not to mention anything else, just the matter of camping involves many aspects, such as selecting land, taking water, setting up tents, lighting fires, setting up sentry posts, etc., one by one, all need to be properly arranged.
In the camp, there was already the sound of people shouting and neighing. The cavalry began to be busy taking care of their horses, while the foot soldiers were busy doing all kinds of camp affairs, although Fei Qian's route to the north this time was relatively safe and secure, but there was not much to do.
Set up the camp, and then be busy cooking, in their respective huts, they sit together in the same rice kettle, cooking, or laughing with each other, or sitting on the side in a daze, and only at this time, these soldiers can be regarded as relaxed, and recover the physical strength consumed for the next day.
The soldiers piled the bonfire high, burned vigorously, watched the mixed rice and wild vegetable soup in the kettle gradually boiling, smelled the smell of food wafting out, although there was no big fish and meat, but it had already made these soldiers very satisfied, with the fire, baking the clothes wet with sweat or muddy water, waiting for the moment when the food in the kettle was stewed, I didn't think about anything, only two words left, comfortable......
For Fidgen, you can't think about nothing.
In Puzi County, Fei Qian refused Chen Rui's invitation, and even did not show goodwill to some local scholars gathered from the surrounding area, but only replenished some materials that consumed relatively large amounts, and then embarked on the journey again.
It's not that Fei Qian has any opinions on Chen Rui or others, and even Chen Rui vaguely expressed his willingness to contribute to Fei Qian's cause or something, but the military situation is urgent, and there is really no way to delay it a little more.
The most fundamental reason is because of this sudden heavy rain.
Although the heavy rain can alleviate the drought in the state during this period of time, it has a very big impact on the roads......
This is the worst thing, once the weather is bad, the first thing that will be affected is not people, but the baggage trucks, and in turn, the baggage trucks cannot keep up, and it will also affect the entire army.
In this era, there was no transportation machinery, and there was no way to make even a simple track, because transmission gears and other things could not be made up for by one or two inventions, and they also needed to be developed to a certain extent in materials science and dynamics before they could be lit up.
And now the heavy baggage truck, once it gets stuck in the mud pit, it is simply a disaster, and it can only be carried out by manpower, and there is no other way.
Skids?
Just kidding, how can such a precious strategic material be casually thrown into muddy water to soak and crush?
In the Han Dynasty, there was no planing machinery, all of which relied on manual work, and these planks were very important resources whether they were in the camp or in battle.
So, now the overall pace of the march is not fast......
Or rather, outrageously slow.
This is the anxiety that Fei Qian and Xun Chen had when they found a sudden change in the weather in Pingyang, and the speed of the march of the army was not determined by the fastest part, but by the slowest part.
According to the current progress, even if you walk for six hours a day, and then camp in a car formation as much as possible to save time, but the speed of this march is still not satisfactory, and it is still an official road, if you go up, because of the desertion of the city and towns, the road is in disrepair, it will be more difficult.
In the big tent, Fei Qian looked at the simple map on the table, was silent for a long time, and then ordered: "Go and ask Xun Dongcao to come over." โ
Now the name of the general of Zhengxi has been decided, and the government has been officially opened, the main appointments are that Xu Shu was named the long history of Zhengxi, Zao is only Xicao, and Xun Chen is Dongcao, and other people are also slightly rewarded.
Dong Cao is mainly responsible for external affairs, for the supervision of military generals and some affairs outside the territory, while Xi Cao is responsible for internally, auditing and evaluating the relevant affairs of administrative officials on the Binh Duong territory.
According to Jia Xu's original plan, it was said that he would wait for two days before dispatching, in order to swallow the entire Xianbei Department in one fell swoop, but the plan often could not catch up with the changes, and the sudden heavy rain was likely to lead to changes in the movement of the surrounding troops, which also meant that the entire battle situation would also have some changes.
Jia Xu's strategy, Fei Qian agreed, and Xun Chen also discussed, it is indeed feasible, but ......
Had to make adjustments.
This war, for Jia Xu, is of course a side to show his talent, of course, on the other hand, there are also some meanings to consolidate his position, so the overall plan is ......
Well, how to say it......
Spicy bar.
Maybe it's a little poisonous......
On the whole, it is to take the Yinshan camp as the center, use the Yinshan camp as a strong point, and then Zhang Ji's cavalry roams outside, attracting the surrounding hostile forces, and then Ma Yue and Yu Fuluo go out from the west side of the Yin Mountain to attack the already empty Xianbei tribe in an area north of the Yin Mountain, robbing livestock and population......
At the eastern crossing of Yinshan Mountain, it was suggested that Fei Qian send a partial army to set up an ambush, and then block the passage for Xianbei to escape......
Then as long as Fei Qian's vanguard arrives at Yinshan, then the Xianbei army will inevitably fall into a situation of being surrounded, and if the Montenegrin army wants to come out to pick up the cheap, then the rear troops left in the Zhenlin camp will be pressed up, and the invading Montenegrin army will be crushed to death at Heze in Wuyuan.
Because it is very simple, the only way to cross the Kubuqi Desert from Zhenlin to Yinshan and replenish the water source is Heze, unless the Montenegrin army has the courage to break into the desert, it must only take this route.
This war, under Jia Xu's deployment, seems to have become a simple arrangement.
The reason why Jia Xu's plan is considered feasible is because all the orders for the leading generals are extremely simple and clear, their respective goals are very clear, and what kind of effect to achieve is also explained and explained, so for these generals, there are standards and fixed numbers for attacking and retreating, although it may be a little rigid, but when it comes to implementation, most of the generals will not be confused, and there is no unreliable action plan such as the so-called tips......
Of course, the most dangerous part is still the Yinshan camp, and the most fundamental point is that at least until the arrival of Feiqian's reinforcements, the camp can still hold on.
The actions of other parts of the generals revolve around this.
And now the problem is that if the march is slow, the opportunity cannot be seized, or the preparation is not able to arrive at the battlefield in advance, then even if the Yinshan camp can survive in the end, it will inevitably pay a heavy price.
Fei Qian stared at the map, his fingers running over several key nodes......
All this in front of you may not have happened at all in history, the so-called prophetic foresight of the traverser is completely useless for the current situation, all the information, all the decisions, you need to judge from these years of experience, once you make a mistake, you may lose not only thousands of lives, but even the future of the entire Feiqian Group.
This kind of pressure can only be pressed on Fei Qian's shoulders.
Whether it is Jia Xu or Xun Chen, all the plans are in a good direction, but the strategies of these strategists only represent an estimated direction of future events, and as the leader of the entire group, he must bear the consequences of his choice.
"Prince?" Xun Chen came and bowed his hand.
Fei Qian raised his head, motioned for Xun Chen to sit down, and patted his hand somewhere on the map, saying, "A certain desire to send Wen Yuan first!" Seize the dry bone crossing of Yinshan Mountain! โ
"First?" Xun Chen frowned slightly.
The cavalry can naturally move faster when it breaks away from the large army to take the lead, but it also means that it loses the shelter and support of the large army......
Xun Chen thanked him, then sat down and asked, "Junhou, why did you make this decision?" โ
"I'm a little worried......"
Although at this point in time, the central Xianbei, which is dominated by Budugen, is still focusing most of its attention on the internal strife with the eastern Xianbei, and there is also friction between them, coupled with Fei Qian's behavior at the border between the two sides, the relationship between the two Xianbei is becoming increasingly tense, and there are some signs that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
Normally, Budugen was reluctant to send the troops of the Xianbei Royal Court to the south......
But what if?
Once the Xianbei Jurchen goes south in advance, what should she do?
The Han Soldier Brigade, which is in control of the largest cavalry group in Bingzhou at the moment, has formed a highly concentrated posture and pounced on the Xianbei army that has invaded Yinshan, although it can defeat it in one fell swoop, but according to the current itinerary, there is no way to guarantee the absolute safety of the flanks......
Even because of the relationship between the Montenegrin Army, Zhenlin's troops could not be transferred to the north to give early warning of this route!
Even if this worst-case scenario had not happened, the Xianbei people did not have the idea of going south to stir up trouble, but only came with the intention of conquering the Yinshan camp, then it would be the same difficult for the Han army in Yinshan.
Zhang Ji can hold back two or three thousand Xianbei cavalry, but it does not mean that he can drag more than twice the Xianbei troops, and once he is surrounded by the Xianbei cavalry, it is also dangerous.
According to normal speaking, the Feiqian troops should have approached Zhenlin now, at least north of Yuanyin, but because the road is difficult, they have only passed Puzi County now......
And now I have set off first without waiting for all the materials to be prepared, and Pingyang will deploy some materials to follow up, but even so, there is a lot of time gap.
Fei Qian's current team is not too much, and it is not too much to say less, but if you want to be like Cao Cao when he was in his heyday, what kind of fart is a dozen guys with intelligence values above ninety get together, and after a while, it is estimated that more than a dozen plans can be put on record......
However, although it is said that the general plan is decided by Jia Xu, in this era of inconvenient communication, the overall cooperation in the battle situation is a problem that Feiqian must consider at present.
Xun Chen stroked his beard and said, "The prince is saying that Xianbei will also send reinforcements in advance?" โ
Originally, when Chen was in Pingyang, Fei Qian and Xun Chen also discussed the issue of Xianbei reinforcements. As the saying goes, once the war starts, the country will not have two conquests, and the grain will not be adjusted three times. The Han people are like this, and the Hu people also don't like to mobilize combat power again and again, this kind of behavior is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, and the consequences are great, so they generally don't do such things.
Therefore, normally speaking, the Xianbei troops who came to invade Yinshan did not suffer a major blow, and it was impossible to ask for any reinforcements under the premise that Feiqian did not detect any movements and signs on his side, so within the original plan, after cleaning up the Xianbei who came to Yinshan, and then intercepting the Xianbei reinforcements, there was still a time difference.
However, now Fei Qian suddenly brought the question up again.
"What if?" As for the worries about the current situation, Fei Qian does not have any strong evidence to prove it, it can only be said to be a possibility.
Xun Chen nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "Wen Yuan led a part of the cavalry to go first, it's not impossible, but who will command the rest of the cavalry first?" Second, this means that the deployment distance with Wenyuan will increase, and once there is a change, it can only be supported by Wenyuan independently......"
"Hurry up and carve Yin Zhao Zilong here! Before Zilong arrived, the remaining cavalry army was led by a certain person! "At this point, Fei Qian can only be used as a panacea.
As for the second point, Fidive does not have a good solution. Since it is to break away from the large army and advance the army, there must be no way to obtain sufficient supplies and flank protection, it can be said that Fei Qian's approach is basically equivalent to letting Zhang Liao take the risk to make up for a possible event.
"Or transfer the troops of Cui Envoy Jun of Xihe County?" Xun Chen proposed another solution.
Fei Qian thought for a moment and shook his head.
For Cui Jun's Xihe County, on the one hand, it is necessary to guard against the Xianbei people near Yanmen, and on the other hand, it is necessary to maintain the operation of the Zhenlin battalion, in fact, it is already a relatively large burden for Xihe County, which is not considered wealthy in the first place.
Xun Chen thought for a while, and then said: "If the prince decides to do so, you can let Zhenlin prepare some grain and grass first, and then wait for Wenyuan to extract it, and you can send a letter to Cui Envoy Jun to raise some grain and grass to transport to the dry bone crossing...... In this way, it may be able to make up for the use of Wen Yuanjun. โ
โโฆโฆ That's it......" Fei Qian pondered for a while and said, "Come on, please come to the big tent to discuss it!" โ
