Chapter 485: What I See Is Slightly the Same
"Old general, I have offended a lot before, and I ask the old general to forgive me." Xiao Maha solemnly bowed his hand to Chun Yuliang, "I am worried in my heart, so I have to do this, and I hope that the old general can understand XX's thoughts." β
Chun Yuliang also showed a smile, but it is unknown whether this smile is true or fake. Xiao Maha said it well, but Chun Yuliang was more or less clear, although Xiao Maha wanted to use this as an excuse to delay the attack, but no matter how he said it, he would also have a little bit of a desire to deter the rest of the generals.
Of course, Xiao Maha will not refuse this kind of thing, and his explanation now is just a cover up of the second layer of intentions. As an out-and-out old fritter, Chun Yuliang certainly knows it, but he didn't expose it, anyway, now that Xiao Maha lowered his posture and came to the door to make amends in person, it is impossible for him to be cold again.
After all, Xiao Maha is still the commander of this army, he has to obey Xiao Maha's orders, and Xiao Maha's ability to pose like this is enough to satisfy Chun Yuliang. In the final analysis, the current battle situation in Xiangyang still needs the support of Xiao Maha, him and Ren Zhong.
Chun Yuliang has fought all his life, of course, he understands what kind of impact the general's discord will have, and of course he will not take the initiative to make such a mistake.
"Old general, what do you think of the current battle situation in Xiangyang?" Xiao Maha didn't mean to greet Chun Yuliang much, and directly said his doubts straight to the point.
Chun Yuliang was not ambiguous, and made a gesture of please: "Before coming to this Xiangyang, the old man had such worries, and the battle situation in Xiangyang is a little weird no matter how you look at it. β
Xiao Maha looked at Chun Yuliang's hand, and Chun Yuliang stretched out his hand and pointed to the key points such as Tangzhou, Dengzhou and even Xuchang in the north of Xiangyang City. Xiao Maha pondered and said, "What does the old general mean is that it is possible for the Zhou people to mobilize a large army to move south along this road?" β
Chun Yuliang bowed slightly: "I don't rule out this possibility, after the death of Yuwen Yong, the Zhou army in the north is mainly stationed in the north and south of Luoyang, and the north road needs to guard against the Turks, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out, but its army of 70,000 or 80,000 people on the south road can be mobilized to the south, and the old man will not think that Yang Jian or Yu Wenxian can put so many soldiers and horses outside Luoyang in vain, and watch Xiangyang bear our siege." β
"But why not Huaibei, you must know that our army in Huaibei is also launching an onslaught." Xiao Maha then asked.
Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty had a large number of troops, but due to the containment of the Northern Turks, the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized were actually not as many as imagined, and seventy or eighty thousand people could only effectively support the battle of one battlefield.
Xiao Maha was not naΓ―ve enough to think that Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian would be so easy to deal with.
But then again, Wu Mingche had already rushed to Huainan, and Nan Chen would also launch an attack in Huainan, so how could Chun Yuliang judge that the enemy army in Luoyang would come to support Xiangyang instead of supporting Huaibei.
"Huaibei is important, but the enemy has been operating in Huaibei for many years, at the beginning, Wang Rail was able to force our army to retreat from the Luliang defense line by virtue of the surrender of the Qi army, and now these soldiers and horses under Wang Rail have been reorganized and trained, and their fighting spirit must be even higher," Chun Yuliang's voice became heavier and heavier, "So Wu Tongzhao wants to open up the situation in Huaibei, how can it be so easy." β
After a pause, Chun Yuliang knocked on the location of Xiangyang on the map: "On the contrary, now half of the defenders of Xiangyang have been transferred to Shu, and Wuquan and other places in Xiangyang, which can be used as a barrier, have fallen into the hands of our army. And with the warm spring, it is impossible for the water to freeze, once our army cuts off the water village on the water, then the enemy can only sit in Fancheng and watch Xiangyang fall. β
Xiangfan, Xiangfan, Xiangyang and Fancheng have been integrated in ancient times, and they are horns of each other, and they jointly guard the throat from the Central Plains to Jingzhou. If one is lost, the other will be difficult to support. At present, there are not many defenders in Xiangyang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Southern Chen army, which has a great advantage in guarding Fancheng and dealing with the naval division, is indeed far above Huaibei in terms of pressure.
Xiao Maha bowed slightly, agreeing with Chun Yuliang's statement: "In this way, there is a vicious battle in Xiangyang." β
"Fierce war is inevitable, Xiangyang not only communicates north and south, but also connects east and west, if Xiangyang moves, the world will move, and even Lianghuai and Bashu will be involved." Chun Yuliang said in a deep voice, "So the old man is more worried about when this battle will start, and how the enemy will fight such a battle." β
Xiao Maha didn't mean to be relaxed in his heart, Chun Yuliang said this, in fact, everything returned to the beginning. The reason why Xiangyang is important is because Xiangyang is related to the Bashu war, so in fact, the most important thing in this overall situation is Bashu.
The flames of war burned from Bashu, and what it will become in the end depends on Bashu.
Chun Yuliang didn't say much, but consciously or unconsciously aimed his eyes at Yutu, and the direction he looked at was also the direction of Bashu. There has been no news from Bashu for several days, if Li Xinchen's entire army is annihilated, in Chun Yuliang's view, the best choice at the moment is to withdraw the army from Xiangyang as soon as possible, and wait until Wei Chi Hui will lead his troops back to Xiangyang, then the battle situation will really reach the point where it is irreparably erosive.
"Report!" At this moment, a herald quickly rushed into the camp tent, "Report, Langzhong battle report, General Dangkou has conquered Panlong County, and Wei Chi Yu led his troops to retreat to Micang Mountain!" β
"What?" Xiao Maha and Chun Yuliang's eyes were bright.
Passing the battle report in this way can only show that this time it is a complete victory!
Thinking about it, you can also understand the trick, Wei Chi Yu worked hard to cross Micang Mountain, but he had to face Li Xinchen, who was already heavily defended in the city, and this battle was of course not easy to fight. Li Xinchen took Langzhong, like a sharp blade against Wei Chi Yuan's throat.
Of course, it was extremely uncomfortable.
The entire Bashu battle situation was so strange at this time, and it could even be said that it was miraculously tilted in the direction of Nan Chen.
Chun Yuliang exhaled softly: "Good fight, good fight!" β
And Xiao Maha couldn't hold back his excited look, pacing back and forth in the tent, it can be said that Li Xinchen gave him a big surprise, he originally thought that Li Xinchen could only be defeated in Bajun, and even needed Nan Chen to open up the situation on the rest of the front in order to have a chance to counterattack, but now Li Xinchen is so against the Northern Zhou Dynasty's soldiers, all the way to Langzhong!
Now it was Wei Chi Yuan's turn and Wei Xiaokuan to feel uncomfortable.
"Report, the enemy cavalry was found on the north bank, about seven or eight thousand people!" Another scout rushed into the tent.
Xiao Maha and Chun Yuliang's expressions were awe-inspiring.
When the cavalry arrived, it means that there must be an unknown number of foot soldiers behind, but they are indispensable.
