Chapter 0309: The Second War between Hanzhong (Beginning 3)
There were many famous generals in the Liang Dynasty, and they gave advice, and Shu Han was not all fools, and Shu Han did not step into all of the traps under the Liang army.
For example, Guan Xiong did not arrange all the troops near Dingjun Mountain in Liangzhou, and sent Guan Jingyun and Guan Jinglin of the Second Taibao to lead the troops through Niutou Mountain and came to the back of Liangzhou, they played the role of blocking and outflanking, if the Liang army came from the east with reinforcements, the two of them would intercept it, and if the reinforcements did not come, Lin Chongyang couldn't bear it and wanted to run, so they copied it in the back.
At the same time, Guan Xiong also sent troops to Xingzhou to intercept the northern reinforcements, and soon the Dianhan troops rushed over, and the two sides had launched several rounds of fighting, both of which suffered heavy casualties, but Dianhan had not yet broken through the Xingzhou defense line.
Seeing that the reinforcements could not rush in, Liu Xun, the emperor of Shu Han, looked up and laughed, saying that his dream was about to come true. Guan Xiong was asked to speed up the attack on Dingjun Mountain, and after destroying Lin Chongyang, he went directly to Chang'an.
On this day, Tang Yuan led the Flying Tiger Ninth Division to the border of Yangzhou, and the scout Feng Feima came to report, and had found traces of the enemy's scout actions, that is, their arrival had been detected by the enemy.
Ordered Feng Pegasus to catch the tongue, but he didn't catch it for three days, without knowing the enemy's movements, Tang Yuan was unwilling to rush into the army, so he stationed troops in a relatively wide area, thought about it, and felt that he couldn't all be stationed here, so he asked Chen Bao to lead a thousand cavalry to hide in Beishan, let Tang Hu lead a thousand cavalry to hide in Nanshan, and let Yue Pu lead a thousand cavalry to hide ten miles behind him.
Why did he arrange it like this, everyone has different opinions.
Li Xian said: "Isn't this a defensive formation? We're supporting the troops, and time is of the essence. It's too late, Lin Chongyang is served in a pot, so there is no need for us to fight. ”
Liu Zhan, Zhang Jing, Fu Ying, Chen Kai, Liu Tan, and Ma Ben were silent.
Nalan said: "What are you anxious about, our General Tang is fighting, when have you delayed it?" He still has a lot of confidence in Lin Chongyang, he has long said that Lin Chongyang is not a good person in the siege war, but he is very good in the defense of the city. The last time we went to Dingjun Mountain, we found that a fortress had been built there, and he had 60,000 men under him to defend the fortress, which was to have enough food, and it would not be a problem for him to defend it for six months. Since Lin Chongyang is not in a hurry, why are we in a hurry? Leading soldiers to advance is taboo. A master of chess, who is not calm and careless, can only fall into the trap of others. ”
The older Nalan Xin is, the more calm he becomes, and he has the demeanor of a Confucian general, and now he is the military advisor of the Ninth Division of the Flying Tiger, with a transcendent status, and Chen Bao has an indistinguishable status, when arranging tactics, his status is higher than that of Chen Bao, and Tang Hu is completely because of his outstanding combat power, and he is also Tang Yuan's brother, so he can rank fourth.
Tang Yuan garrisoned fifty miles east of Yangzhou, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry, but Zhang Yunlong of the Chinese army was a little anxious, at this time Zhang Yunlong's command had already arrived in the west of Jinzhou, and he heard that Tang Yuan, the vanguard force, was not leaving, and there was no battle, so he sent someone to ask Tang Yuan what happened.
Tang Yuan explained to the scouts that he did not know the situation of the enemy army for the time being, and it was not appropriate to move troops. At the same time, Tang Yuan had already ordered Han Dang to garrison Shiquan and not to follow up.
Tang Yuan said that if he wanted to lure the enemy out of the city here, if he did not come out, he would have to wait until he found out the situation of the enemy army before marching into the army.
The scout reported to Zhang Yunlong, and Zhang Yunlong did not garrison the troops, but only sent Cen Shen, the pioneer of the second route, to lead the troops to Ankang Town, ready to respond to Tang Yuan at any time.
Zhang Yunlong trusted Tang Yuan very much, so that Zhao Guangxu, the chief army, couldn't say anything, Zhao Guangxu didn't speak, the second deputy marshal Zhang Zhikui, the governor's grain officer Su Beiqin, and the general staff general Huang Ying didn't speak, and the commander seemed very united within the department.
He had been waiting for six days, and the scout captain Feng Feima had not brought back valuable new news, Tang Yuan had already arranged a plan to deal with the enemy army rushing out of the city, so he had nothing to do, and even took the beautiful Youlan to run halfway up the mountain to see the scenery.
Of course, he will not really have the leisure to travel in the mountains and rivers, but wants to stand on a high place and look at the weather of Yangzhou City.
This statement, Xuanzhi and Xuan, this is what Youlan taught him, this Youlan usually has nothing to do, he actually likes to read some Taoist books, and he is still a self-styled little Taoist girl, the Taoist name Qingyun Fairy.
This Nizi looks more and more drawn, her eyes are smart and charming, and the clothes on her body are also made of high-grade fabrics that Tang Yuan gave her, when she was in Xiangcheng, every time she imported good materials from Luoyang, he would bring back samples for Youlan to see, as long as she didn't say bad right away, Tang Yuan would send him a zhang.
The rich man Tang was well-known in Xiangcheng, but Tang Yuan didn't use the money for himself, but spent it on the army.
The only private money, part of which was given to Tang Hu to spend all his time drinking, part of it was given to Ma Butong, Chen Bao, Feng Feima and other generals to improve their lives, and the smallest part was spent on Youlan, taking care of relationships and contacting the capital.
But this has already dressed Youlan up in a fancy way, and she is as beautiful as a fairy. Of course, first of all, the girl Youlan has a good foundation, even if she is plain-faced, she is also a small jasper street beauty.
"I look at Yangzhou lifeless, but Yunting Mountain in the southwest of Yangzhou is murderous." Qingyun Fairy has begun to Shinto again.
Tang Yuan smiled and said, "Your observation technique is quite in line with the art of war, I have already asked Feng Feima to go to the nearby mountains to reconnoitre, and he should be back today." Once I have found out the enemy formations in the vicinity, I will start attacking. ”
Yulan said worriedly: "The general doesn't plan to stalemate like this again? ”
"We're a support force, we can't always be like this." Tang Yuan said: "The balance must be broken. In fact, when we break through Yangzhou, the enemy army will show that the enemy army is no longer good, otherwise, they will never let us break through. ”
"Why is this happening?" Yu Lan thought for a moment: "I understand, this is like playing chess, two people are fighting around a big dragon, when the big dragon is life and death, the two sides fight fiercely, but once the big dragon holds the second breath, or the big dragon will definitely die, there is no need for the two sides to fight anymore." ”
"That's it." Tang Yuan said: "If the reinforcements break through Yangzhou, Guan Xiong's encirclement of Lin Chongyang will be meaningless. If he doesn't leave immediately, then he will be reckless, and he will be surrounded by us and killed. He Guan Xiong has not fought less, so he shouldn't be ignorant of this truth. ”。
"Therefore, the battle in Yangzhou must be very difficult to fight." Youlan said worriedly: "We have been stationed for so long, will the enemy's reinforcements also come?" ”
"Definitely, and the speed at which they come will definitely be faster than our reinforcements, because now Lin Chongyang Turtle Guarding the Dingjun Mountain can't come out at all, and the enemy army wants to come over to support, it is simply unimpeded."
