Chapter 343: There is a difference in severity
The feelings of the people are very simple, as long as anyone is good to themselves and can make themselves live a good life and live a stable life, they are good people. On the other hand, it is a great wicked person. The sound of the messenger's horse's hooves broke the silence of Guanzhong, and the enemy invaded the border gates everywhere, and for the people in Guanzhong, who were far away from the battlefield, they already felt a feeling of beacon fire everywhere. The more people who don't know the details, the more worried they will be about this situation.
On the contrary, the people who are really in it will not care so much. It's like for the soldiers on all fronts, no matter how many enemies there are, it's a war, and there's nothing special about it.
The official documents of the messengers from all over the country were first delivered to the General's Mansion, and then to Yong'an County to Li Xin. On the tenth day of Li Xin's arrival in Yong'an County, documents flew over like snowflakes.
"Jincheng, Xiaoguan, Xuanjuan, Luguan, Yiguan, and Shangdang are all alarming! It seems that the big drama has finally begun! After receiving the paperwork, Li Xin said lightly.
Since he had expected this situation, he naturally didn't feel too strange. All the arrangements have been made, and the preparation for so long is not just for this time.
"General, Zhang Ping's army has been attacking the city for ten days, and it has been going on day and night for the past ten days. Although we also have rotations, the damage to the soldiers and horses, coupled with fatigue, has reduced the combat effectiveness a lot! Tu Qi said on the side.
"This is a time to test both sides, whoever is the first to hold on will lose! In terms of willpower, I ask myself that our soldiers are not weaker than anyone else. In contrast, Zhang Ping's army may be even more demoralized! After all, they have mobilized their troops to attack the city with an army several times our size, but they have not made any progress for so long! Li Xin said solemnly.
A stalemate is a war in itself, and as long as you hold Yong'an Castle and prevent the enemy from making any progress, it will be a major victory. As long as the opponent's morale drops sharply, it will be a huge help for his final counterattack.
"Now, let's just wait for the results of General Deng's actions on their side! Four days ago, they had already captured Puzi County and blocked the remaining 10,000 troops of Zhuge Xiang. Now, the armies of the two sides are at war, and I think the war over there should be almost settled! However, there is a not very good place, that is, the Luguan side has also been attacked by the Hu people, otherwise, the soldiers and horses under the command of General Shao Shen can cross the river to support General Deng Shen! In this way, the war will end faster! Tu Qi reported on the side.
"This is something that cannot be helped, this time the enemy is menacing, fighting on all sides, and our forces are still not enough to deal with so many enemies. Therefore, there is a difference between the severity and the severity, hold where you should defend, and resolutely attack and destroy them where you should attack. In this way, our strength can be fully exerted and achieve the greatest results! Regarding his statement, Li Xin shook his head and said helplessly.
In two or three years, the army has expanded to 70,000, not including those town troops and the like, which is already very fast. But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and no one thought that Zhang Ping would actually do such a big thing, which made the Huashan army fall into an unprecedented crisis all of a sudden.
Of course, the current Huashan Army is still much better than when it was just started. At least, now there is more depth, a thicker foundation, and more durable support for the war.
At the time of the initial discussion, the people deliberated for a long time, and finally decided on the current combat policy.
In general, it is to eliminate Zhang Ping's forces first, solve the crisis in Pingyang Hedong, and then deal with other people. On the one hand, it is because although Zhang Ping has a large number of people here, his strength is not large, and it can even be said that he is the worse one among the four armies.
If you solve him, the speed will naturally be faster. Once this place is freed, the 10,000-strong army under Li Xin can be quickly transferred to other places to fight.
On the Liangzhou side, due to the lack of troops, and the danger of mountains and rivers to rely on, it must be on the defensive in the early stage. As long as the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou can't beat it, then it's fine.
And Xiaoguan, Luguan, Juan County and other places, due to the terrain, contain the Hu people, so that they can't go south to attack Guanzhong with peace of mind, then it's okay. Since the Hu people are all cavalry, with the current strength of the Huashan army, it is not easy to eliminate them.
So, you can only hold it off first. Wait until Zhang Ping solves it here, and then mobilize more troops to solve them.
As for the Shangdang side, because of the terrain and terrain, as long as it is well guarded, the Yan army will not be able to pass. Relatively speaking, the strength of the Yan army is the strongest among the four soldiers, but it is also the easiest to deal with.
"Let's talk about the situation in various places first!" After a pause, Li Xin said again.
"Yes! Over there in Liangzhou, because the distance is too far. So, there isn't much news for the time being. I only know that Zhang Ju sent 30,000 troops, of which 20,000 were led by Zhang Ju himself, and after passing the Gulang Gorge Pass, he went all the way to Yuanwei County. And the other way, led by Niu Ba, went to attack Haokang County! ”
"On the side of Zhujuan County, General Sun's 3,000 men and horses were stationed in the city, and Liu Yantou sent 10,000 troops to attack. And he himself led an army of 15,000 to attack Xiao Pass, and sent Liu Xibeqi and several other nephews to lead an army of 5,000 to attack Luguan! However, his army of 30,000 is a little different. Tu Qi replied.
"Oh, what's the difference?" Li Xin asked with some confusion.
"The Xiongnu were not just one tribe, they were actually made up of multiple tribes. Nominally, Liu Yantou is the leader of everyone, but in fact, people's hearts are not Qi! In particular, the Xiongnu in this area of the Hetao are called Tiefubu! It means that the father is a Huns, and the mother is a Xianbei person! Therefore, they are not actually pure-blooded Huns, and they are called Zahu! But among the 30,000 troops, the 10,000 people who attacked the county were made up of a force that was even smaller than the Tiefu Division, that is, the miscellaneous beard of the miscellaneous hus! ”
"That's it! In this way, the pressure on the side of the county will not be too great! It seems that Liu Yantou also has some ideas! I thought that this time I could go south and go straight to Guanzhong and rob a large number of wealthy people, so I let other small tribes go to fight the rolls, and they fought Xiaoguan and Luguan by themselves! It's just that their thoughts are wrong! Li Xin thought about it for a while, and then understood the reason why Hu Ren did this.
"In this way, maybe we can get some benefits from it! Why don't your subordinates send someone to those small tribes to take a trip and try it out with their interests? Hearing this, Tu Qi's eyes couldn't help but light up and proposed.
War! It's never just about seeing the high and low on the battlefield, there are also things behind it.
"It's good! Just send someone to try it! Tell those small tribes that if they fight to the death with us in Xujuan County, they will only benefit the Xiongnu in the end. It is estimated that it is impossible to let them retreat, but it should not be a big problem to let them work without contribution! The preservation of the county will be of great benefit to our future actions! Regarding this idea, Li Xin only pondered for a moment and agreed.
It would be great to be able to reduce the damage on your side in the middle of the war without paying any price.
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange this later!"
"Well, send more people to pay attention to the situation in various places, and report to me immediately if there is anything abnormal!" Li Xin admonished.
When Li Xin and the others were talking, the battle outside Puzi County had just ended!
At this time, the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, in addition to those who were dead and wounded, there were also many enemy troops who had surrendered, and Deng Qiang was arranging to send them to Pingyang County with the wounded.
"It's been seven days now, and we finally lived up to the general's order and solved the enemy army along the way of Zhuge Xiang!" Looking at the corpses that were poured into a piece around him, Deng Qiang wiped the spear in his hand, glanced at Yao Chang, and said.
"Yes! It's finally time to complete the mission! But there's more to come! From the time we converged, then went north to take Puzi County, and then wiped out all the Zhuge Xiang army, it had already taken seven days! Now, Tujun County in the north is also Pingzhou County, I'm afraid I have also got the news! We're just going to have to speed up the march! Yao Chang nodded, and then said with some concern.
"Then hurry up! Send 1,000 soldiers and horses to escort the prisoners and wounded back! As for Yangliangguan, the remaining soldiers and horses should be enough! In order to be in a hurry, our troops are divided into two routes, you first take 1,500 people to take Tujun County, while I will march east along the river to take Pingzhou County first, and then you will come to meet me! After thinking for a while, Deng Qiang said.
"Okay, then let's arrange it like this!" Yao Chang nodded and responded.
Tujun County and Pingzhou County are both subordinate counties of Xihe County, and Xihe County was under the jurisdiction of the Shuofang Thorn History Department in the past. It's just that later, the world was in turmoil, and the strength of the imperial court was no longer there, and the Shuofang system was abolished.
The county seat of Tujun County is located more than 60 miles north of Puzi County, while Pingzhou County is different, it is located on the east side of Luliang Mountain, just more than 40 miles west of Yangliang Pass.
In the east of Tujun County, there is a river called Zichuan Water that crosses the mountain range, and you can pass from the west to the east of the mountain by following this river.
At the beginning, Zhuge Xiang's army came from there, as long as he took Tujun County and Pingzhou County, he would master this road and go around to the west side of Yangliang Pass smoothly.
From here, it is the closest to cross Luliang Mountain and enter the Fenshui River Valley. Further north, there is a path, but that is much farther away.
Therefore, Li Xin specially asked them to take Puzi County first, in order to delay the speed of the news to Zhang Ping as much as possible. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
