Chapter 959: Hedong
Han Shin had to admit that the "winged battalion" that the regent had drummed up last month was indeed very useful.
Not only the "four people who have eaten and accumulated" communicate with Xianyang, but also the grain road and the five grains, so that the three armies are not poor, and even how much food the army needs to maintain the battle in the next place is clearly calculated.
It's not just people who are military lawyers, strong, and brachial, they are either experienced veterans who have set up more camps than Han Xin has fought in battles, or they are military officials who are ruthless in law, according to different levels and layers, they will take care of the rewards and punishments, order and other details of the big battalion, at least Han Xin doesn't have to ask about the matter of personally taking over the punishment of more than 20 soldiers.
"General Han, the most elaborate map of Hedong is here."
The three people in charge of the "situation of the main three armies" were also very efficient, and what they sent to Han Xin was much more than an overview of the map of Hedong County in the Imperial History Office of the First Emperor of Qin:
Hedong County, south of Xicheng Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, across the north bank of the river, overlooking the Central Plains, the river, the painting river lingers on its right; Zhangshui and water secretion envelope its left, which can not only be used for agricultural irrigation, but also conducive to water transportation; Out of the west of the Linjin River, you can reach the hinterland of the Kanto, south over the Zhongtiao Mountain, to Hanoi, through the Mengjin can reach the Sanchuan Liangdi, and through the Shangdang Mountain, east out of Taihang, but also overlook the core area of the Zhao State......
It is such a land where soldiers must fight, and there is a developed cultural economy, as the ruins of Tang Yao and Xia Dynasty, the two places have a long history, and have been reclaimed by the Spring and Autumn overlord Jin State for many years, and now it is rich land, and the people are thrifty. There are 136,896 households, and 692,900 mouths. There are 20 counties and 20,000 large counties, which are:
In Anyi County, Wuxian Mountain is in the south, and Yanchi is in the southwest. Wei Jiang migrated from Wei to Wei Hui Wang Migrated to Liang. There are iron officials and salt officials, which are county magistrates.
Pingyang County, Han Wuzi's great-grandson Zhenzi lives here, originally the capital of Korea, and then it was merged by Qin, there are iron officials, and it is the northern city of the north of the county together with Taiyuan.
There are four counties close to the Dahe ferry: Puban (Yongji, Shanxi), Fenyin (Wanrong, Shanxi), Ruicheng, and Xiayang (Pinglu, Shanxi), which correspond to Pujin, Longmen, Fengling, and Maojin respectively.
There are root warehouses and wet warehouses in the east of the river, all of which are large warehouses of 100,000 stones of grain, which are located in Puban and Anyi respectively.
All of the above information is embodied in the new map surveyed by the public opinion on the orders of the regent: in addition to the distance between the roads in the city, how long it will take for the enemy to support each other, and the terrain is outlined. The earth is made into mountains, Huotai, Jieshan, Zhongtiao, mountains and rivers are well restored, as if looking down from the sky.
"It's a real thing!"
This is Han Xin's evaluation, he is a native of Huainan, he has never been to Hedong before, and he is not familiar with the mountains and rivers there.
This is also the purpose of Heifu's humeral wings, it is impossible to rely on the whims of the commander to fight every battle, and if there is no good general, he can only grasp the blindness.
Instead of this, it is better to gather the wisdom and talents of everyone, prepare all the details and miscellaneous things, and formulate a military plan, so that the generals only need to think about how to implement the plan and create victory.
The terrain of the mountains and rivers is dead, but the enemy's deployment is alive, and the protector Ji Ying personally selected and trained a group of Hedong refugees to return to Hedong, collect intelligence from all over the place, and then a certain "wanderer" who is comfortable in and out of the Wei army will hand the information back, so that Han Xin knows the opponent's movements.
It's just that even Han Xin doesn't know who the mysterious wanderer is.
However, all of the above are peripheral personnel, who have the responsibility of providing information and handling chores, but they do not have the right to know the military situation.
The core personnel of the feather wing battalion are the twelve military officials who have been screened and examined at various levels to determine the loyalty of Xia Gong, and they are called "staff officers". Or lecture on the similarities and differences in the use of soldiers in ancient times, the success or failure of actions, the concise training of weapons, and the illegality of stabbing and stabbing. Or the Lord does strange things, sets up differences, makes infinite changes, and puts forward some bold suggestions.
At this moment, under the leadership of Chen Hui, they discussed the strategy of using troops against Hedong in front of Han Xin.
Staff officer Yang Wu suggested: "According to the Hedong Line report, Wei Xiang Zhang Er sat in Anyi, and made the general Zhou Shu, and the deputy generals Zhao Cheng and Bai Zhi each guard the ferry, opposite to Xihe and Ningqin, deep ditches and high bases, transport grain and accumulate armor, and want to defend their land. “
The current situation is that if you want to fight the east of the river, you must cross the river, and where to cross it has become the key.
The big river is a natural and dangerous pass, and the number of ferries is limited, only a few thousand people can be sent over at a time, if the enemy's main force crosses, the forward will be attacked by half of the crossing, and the attack on the river bank will inevitably suffer heavy losses, if the bridgehead base cannot be established, there is no way to build a pontoon bridge, to meet the rear army, the crossing of the river will be a failure.
And Jindu, which can supply tens of thousands of people to cross the river, is nothing more than four places: Pusaka, Longmen, Fengling, and Maojin.
Pusaka was the first choice for communication between Guanzhong and Hedong in peacetime, but it was too obvious that the enemy would definitely garrison large troops to defend it, and the staff officers were more inclined to set up suspicious troops in Pusaka and force the crossing from other places.
"Zhang Er saw that my army was gathered in the West River, and Chen Chuan wanted to spend Linjin, so he would command the army to Puban and stop Linjin."
"And I can take advantage of the arrival of his troops in Pusaka, ambush the soldiers from Xiayang Longmen, break its partial division, and attack Anyi."
"Open and dark?"
Han Xin nodded, but shook his head again, he didn't know that in the original history, he relied on this sound to win the battle to destroy the Western Wei, but now, the situation is obviously different.
"Although this strategy is good, it can only bully Zhang Er and Uncle Zhou, but it can't hide from one person."
"Who?"
"Zhao will Li left."
Han Xin had an indirect fight with Li Zuoche in Taiyuan in Shangjun last autumn, and he knew that this person was very sensitive to the battle situation and must not be careless - he still remembered that the only defeat in his life was caused by the light enemy Bandu......
"Thanks to the regent's trust, Han Shin, there will never be a second failure!"
He pointed to Fen** on the other side of Longmendu: "For a few months, when the Zhao army and the Wei army withdrew from the Xihe, they were ambushed by Dong Duwei in Longmendu, and suffered a big loss. The Hedong Front reported that the Zhao army continued to come from Taiyuan to Beiqu and Pishi, all to help defend the riverbank. Li Zuoche knew that Taiyuan and Hedong were each other's lips and teeth, and his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, so he sent Zhao to help Zhang Er guard the riverbank to prevent our army from smuggling into Longmen......"
"If you don't choose Longmen, where should you cross from?"
"Fengling?"
"Maitsu?"
The staff officers offered suggestions and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two places.
The advantage of Fenglingdu is that it is close to Guanzhong, and it is convenient to transfer troops in the past, but the disadvantage is that the enemy also has a tight defense on the opposite bank, and 8,000 troops are deployed.
The advantage of Majetsu is that the enemy's defenses are slightly sparse, and the disadvantage is that there are no ships.
But Han Xin smiled and said something incredible:
"Why do you have to use a boat to cross the river?"
The staff officers were stunned, they couldn't let the soldiers swim over, right?
"Why can't you use my Xia Yang's wooden poppy to cross!"
A few months ago, the boatmen under his command used the common big ropes near Xiayang, tied them together with ropes, and then clamped them with wood, called "wooden poppies", this poppy buoyancy can carry several people without any problem, so as to surprise attack Longmendu and capture Zhao Gao.
"In addition to the wooden poppy, there are many ways to make a few people secretly cross the river."
But Han Xin didn't want to explain in detail, he had the right to adopt the staff officer's suggestions, but the final decision was in his own hands, and he already knew how to fight this battle.
He pointed to his brain: "Second and third sons, don't be limited by rules and regulations." ”
"The Zhao and Wei coalition forces are only 50,000 people, excluding the 10,000 who defend Anyi and Pingyang, and the remaining 40,000 can hold the four Dajindu, but can they hold these hundreds of miles of river banks?"
"Since there is no need for boats, where can people not be crossed on the banks of this river that stretches for hundreds of miles?"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that although staff officers can concentrate their wisdom, they are also prone to fall into the framework of the art of war and common sense.
In Han Xin's eyes, Hedong is now like a leaky sieve, which can block a big hole and can't block countless other small holes!
"In Linjin, Chen ships and soldiers, with great fanfare, attracted the main force of the enemy, and then sent people to Longmen to prepare, pretending to be discovered by the other side, so that the enemy army would be concentrated in Puban and Longmen."
"And our army first took the Hedong people who were eager to return to their hometown as the vanguard, and used wooden poppies and Beidi sheepskin rafts to cross 3,000 people to attack Yixiang, completely disrupting the enemy's deployment in the south, and the army of Fenglingdu waited for the opportunity to cross the river!"
"Then general, where should I cross the forward?"
Han Xin asked everyone rhetorically: "When did Qin reverse the repeated defeats against Wei?" ”
"Qin Xiangong......" The staff officers looked at each other and said in unison:
"Battle of Stone Gate!"
