Chapter 58: Siege of Bianjing

In the words summarized by Ma Yun, it is "After the victory of Dangshan, the demise of the pseudo-Zhou is already the general trend." ? ? ? "In recent days, Ma Yun's spirit is very good and his interest is very high, why did he make such a judgment? It's not that he is arrogant by nature, there is a certain truth in his judgment, the Zhou soldiers defeated in Dangshan are not as vulnerable as Li Tang's army, on the contrary, the Zhou soldiers in Songzhou are one of the most elite troops of the pseudo-Zhou, and the general Guo Chong (that is, Guo Chongwei, in order to avoid Guo Wei) is also a rare famous general in the pseudo-Zhou.

Defeating the elite troops led by famous generals, doesn't this just show that compared with the comprehensive national strength between Zhou and Chu, Chu has the upper hand? Given this consideration, in order to increase the rapid development of the national situation and support Liu Chong of Hedong at both ends of the rat with practical actions, Ma Yun took Zhao Pu as the counselor of the army, Qian Qing and Shi Da as the commanders of the left and right armies, and Cao Bin as the junior general as the rear peace, and dispatched an army of 80,000 people, known as 2o thousand, to Bianzhou.

Bianzhou is in the northwest of Songzhou, and the distance between the two states is very close, and the infantry can reach it in just one day and one night. On the road from Songzhou to Bianzhou, there are several small towns: Yongqiu (now Qixian County, Henan), Weishi (now Weishi County, Henan), and Chenliu. Among them, Yongqiu and Chen Liu are located next to the Bianhe River, if you go along the Bianhe River to Bianzhou, then you must pass through these two counties, of course, because the Central Plains is fertile for thousands of miles, and unlike the Huainan River table, the land here is dry land, not paddy fields, the army is dispatched, of course it is convenient for you to go to the county seat, if you don't want to go, go around the city, there is nothing you can't, anyway, there are roads everywhere, even the crops are hard land, it is just a waste of hard work to go up, and there is more mud on your feet, it is not completely impossible to walk.

As for Weishi County, it is located directly south of Kaifeng Prefecture (the seat of Bianzhou, also called Bianjing) and Chenliu, and west of Yongqiu, and this small county town is not on the route of the Chu army.

Therefore, if Ma Yun wants to send troops, the first question is what should these three small counties do? With a wave of his hand, Ma Yun gave an order: "General Shi, I order you to lead two divisions of men and horses as the vanguard troops, and leave Yongqiu and Chen to me to take them down!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Shi Da took the order.

Seeing that Ma Yun nodded, he was ready to order the group to summon the officers above the group to hold a military meeting, adjust the deployment, and prepare to send troops to Bianjing. Zhao Pu hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know if Your Majesty has any specific plans to conquer Bianjing?" ”

As Ma Yun's cadre, although Ma Yun's strategy of besieging Bianjing is consistent with what he thinks, Zhao Pu still has no bottom in his heart. Why do you feel this way? Maybe it's because the emperor's strategy is plausible with his own, according to Zhao Pu's opinion, it is to concentrate all the troops under his command, gather with Bianjing, and rely on the absolute superiority of troops to quickly take Bianjing, but Ma Yun is not like this, he sent troops to Bianjing at the same time, he also sent Zhu Yuan to pass through the Jingdong region (now Shandong), and sent Ni Kefu to cooperate with Ding Sijin to attack Wang Yin. In this way, there will be fewer troops attacking Bianjing, originally 150,000 against 30,000 defenders, but now 80,000 against 30,000 defenders, can they be taken quickly. What did His Majesty the Emperor think in his heart? In case of... The army stopped under the fortified city, His Majesty the Emperor has any other countermeasures, these things are not understood, as Ma Yun's confidant, Zhao Pu will definitely not be at ease.

Didn't Sun Tzu say: The temple counts more and wins. Now His Majesty the Emperor has a plan in mind? In the past two days, Zhao Pu has been busy accepting military food and ordnance, and the great emperor Ma Yun is either receiving the village elders, appeasing the locality, or chanting poems to meet friends, and feasting local literati, this is of course good, in order to establish the image of Da Chu, but Zhao Pu always felt that this military operation was too smooth, and he even faintly felt that Zhu Yuan's worries were not unreasonable. Yes, in the battle of Dangshan, our Great Chu won, and it won very beautifully, but there is one, the battle of Dangshan is very important to the Eastern Front, but for the entire situation in Chu and Zhou, it also makes the pseudo-Zhou fall into passivity. Pseudo-Zhou is known as 30,000 elite soldiers, this is not fake, these armies have grown up in the battle with the Khitan, and their combat ability cannot be underestimated.

Ma Yun smiled: "Zhao Aiqing, I know what you're worried about?" You are worried that our army has not yet taken Bianjing, but the reinforcements of the pseudo-Zhou have arrived. You are worried that our army will be tired under the city of Kaifeng. I've thought of all of this. You look at the map. If Bianzhou was besieged, there would only be two places for the Pseudo-Zhou to come to reinforcements, one was Guanzhong and the other was Hebei. If it is the army in Guanzhong, it will inevitably go out of Tongguan and pass through Luoyang, and take the Yellow River down the Baigou; If it was Hebei's army, it must have come from Yecheng and across the Yellow River to Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Henan). ”

Zhao Pu nodded, hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, you also said just now, the terrain in this Bianzhou area is flat, and it is very suitable for cavalry attacks. On this great plain, the cavalry came and went without a trace, and we could not catch up if we wanted to. In this way, it will cause a lot of trouble for us, and we can't prevent it. Even if you send people to defend Zhongmu (now Zhongmu, Henan) in the west and Fengqiu in the north, it will not have much impact on the enemy's reinforcements. We can bypass Chen Liu, and of course the enemy can bypass Zhongmu. ”

"Zhao Aiqing is reasonable. I thought about it, too. However, there is one thing that Aiqing may not have thought of yet? Ma Yun smiled and continued: "It's time. The white-clothed army in Guanzhong is excellent, but relying on the infantry army alone, our army is not weaker than them, and the cavalry of the white-clothed army is far away in Lingzhou, and there is no three days, and he will definitely not be able to come back, and the army is dispatched, he must be prepared. The raising of materials and the mobilization of the army all take time, and Hebei, in fact, really thought that it was not very likely that they would return to the army to rescue. Therefore, it must not be easy for me to lead my troops to Bianjing for the first time and try my best to attack the city, and go to 30,000 people to defend Bianjing. There is a high probability that Bianjing will be conquered by us. Taking a step back, if we fail to conquer it, I will move my army to the east of Bianjing, in the area between Baigou and Bianhe, before the arrival of the enemy's cavalry, and hold on to the Zhou army. Use two rivers to fend off opposing cavalry. ”

"In fact, I can assert that as long as my army appears in the Bianjing area, Liu Chong in Hedong will inevitably go south, and even the Khitans behind Liu Chong will be ready to move, and the pseudo-Zhou reinforcements at this time must be eager to fight us. But we use these two rivers to drain the enemy. With a 'drag' trick, let Liu Chong encroach on Hebei, let Meng Chang encroach on Guanzhong, as long as one of them achieves an important victory, the reinforcements under Bianjing will be shaken. At that time, it was our chance. Hehe, speaking of which, I also want to thank Guo Chong, Songzhou's military rations are enough for us to drag this battlefield down. ”

Zhao Pu's heart moved, His Majesty the Emperor is not arrogant, he is sober, he doesn't want to take Bianjing so quickly, if Bianjing is quickly defeated, then the white-clothed army in Guanzhong will not completely shrink in the Guanzhong area? Perhaps, the emperor just wanted to take this opportunity to transfer the white-clothed army out of Guanzhong, cripple it, or even eliminate it. His current arrogance is also to paralyze Guo Wei?
