Chapter 59 Tunguanzhong

The current situation is like a game of chess, if you take the right steps, it will be done once and for all, and the powerful pseudo-Zhou is likely to be wiped out under the horn of the Chu army's charge, but if you play the wrong chess piece, this good situation is likely to be lost. In the past two days, Zhao Pu was most worried that Ma Yun was complacent and arrogant, worried that he would not be calm in the face of victory, but after listening to Ma Yun's words, Zhao Pu completely relaxed.

The next day, 80,000 Chu troops walked out of Songzhou with high spirits and went straight to Bianjing.

At about this time, the Guanzhong area was also in full swing with military deployment.

The west wind is blowing, and the yellow sand is blowing in the face. Outside Chang'an City, autumn charm is full. At the ten-mile long pavilion, there was a team of dignitaries and nobles, who were forgetting about the north, as if they were waiting for someone. One of these people is Guo Rong, the king of Jin. Since the news of Dangshan's defeat came quickly, Guo Rong's heart has been heavy. Similar to Bianjing, where the courtiers talked a lot, the civil officials in Guanzhong were also constantly admonishing Guo Rong, and some advocated immediately sending troops to rescue the monarch's father and relieve Bianjing's crisis, and people with this view believed that no matter whether the Chu army wanted to attack Bianjing or not, Bianjing's defensive strength was always weak, and it was also necessary to move the Guanzhong army west to Bianjing. Some advocate breaking Shu first, if the Chu army attacks Bianjing, let them hoard under the strong walls of Bianjing, and wait for our army to defeat Shu, and then go out of the customs to relieve Bianjing from the crisis, at that time, the Chu army is already exhausted. Some made secret offerings, locked Tongguan to defend themselves, and gave up the land of Henan and Hebei, so that Liu Chong of Chu and Hedong had already been Khitan dog-eat-dog, and we retreated to the land of one, so that the focus of the world's struggle shifted from the body of the Great Zhou to the body of the Chu State. And not only does the state of Chu have no reason to continue to call on the world to discuss our Great Zhou, but the alliance formed by the state of Chu also has a tendency to completely collapse.

In the midst of these different opinions, Guo Rong ordered the generals of the army to make full use of military mobilization, and on the other hand, he ordered the civilian officials to speed up the tuntian plan in Guanzhong, and at the same time raise military rations and ordnance. This continued until Wang Pu returned to Chang'an with the army. 、

Although Guo Rong had already made up his mind in his heart, but his trust in Wang Pu, and even his trust in himself, after Wang Pu came back, he immediately found this confidant of the dusty servant, and Wang Pu had already guessed that Guo Rong would have such a question, he smiled and said: "Lord Wang, Lao Tzu once said, 'Fortune and misfortune are lurking, and misfortune is the reason for blessing', now it seems that our Great Zhou is in a crisis, in fact, looking down, our Great Zhou is as safe as a rock." Why? Because the strength of the country is still there, we have more than 300,000 elite soldiers in the Great Zhou, although Dangshan has been defeated, there are still more than 200,000 Tiger Benerlang, and what about the Chu army? The elite troops they dispatched are only 150,000 at best, hehe, in this way, our two countries are actually evenly matched. But why does it seem that our Great Zhou is in crisis now? The key is that Xuzhou is in the hands of the Chu State, Xuzhou is too close to Bianjing, Dangshan is defeated, Songzhou will have no danger to defend, and the Chu army's troops will go straight to Bianjing. ”

"Mr. Wang, if I were Ma Yun, I would immediately send troops to surround Bianjing, take advantage of the situation to attack, if not, besiege the city and send reinforcements, in short, we will fight a decisive battle with our Great Zhou near Bianjing. In such a powerful situation, Chu State is not without talents, it is impossible for them not to see it, and it is impossible for Ma Yun not to see it. You said that the defeat of Dangshan did not have much impact on the military strength, I believe this, but you said that our Great Zhou is as safe as a rock, I... But is there any reason? Guo Rong said worriedly.

"Lord Wang, do you think sending troops to Bianjing is the best policy for the Chu State, but I think it is the best policy, no... It's the best of the best. As long as it is properly deployed, the state of Chu will undoubtedly be defeated. Wang Pu cheered for Guo Rong and said, now the situation may deteriorate, there are many capable people in the Chu State, the war is changing rapidly, no one has the courage to pack the ticket, and the Chu State will be defeated. However, if he didn't say so, the pressure in Guo Rong's heart would be greater, and if he wavered, then Da Zhou would really be over.

"This... Why is that? ”

"Because the water and soil are not adapted. This water and soil adaptation is not really food, clothing, housing and transportation. The Chu army is mostly infantry, which still has a certain combat effectiveness in places like Dangshan and Xuzhou, but Bianjing is a large plain, and you won't know how great the advantage of cavalry over infantry is. The strength of the Chu army was comparable to that of the Hebei army of the Later Jin Dynasty, but in the face of the iron cavalry of the Khitans, the Hebei army could be said to be a complete defeat. As long as we charge with cavalry, the Chu army will be extremely difficult to resist. ”

"Not necessarily, not necessarily, the Chu army defeated the Khitan army in Nanyang back then, and they still have a set of methods to deal with cavalry."

"Isn't their solution just diversion? They were afraid that after the cavalry charged, they would break their formation, so they placed some heavily armored sergeants at the front of the formation, using them as pillars, dividing the river into several streams like bridge pillars, so that the cavalry could not wield their greatest advantage. For this point, Wechen has already thought of a countermeasure. Wang Pu said with a smile.

After listening to Wang Pu's words, Guo Rong's confidence also increased a little, and now, Guo Rong has to wait for someone, hoping to hear the same words from that person's mouth. That person is Zhao Kuangyin. If you want to talk about marching and fighting, Zhao Kuangyin is even three points more powerful than Wang Pu, but Wang Pu is an all-rounder, not only proficient in military affairs, but also good at straightening, while Zhao Kuangyin is just a general.

It didn't take much effort, but the far north seemed to be a little blurry, presumably from the wind and sand raised by the horse caravan as it passed. The horse army was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, you could see the banner held high in the army, with a big "Zhao" written on it, and the seventh brother really came back.

At this time, the military situation was urgent, and after the two met, they no longer wanted to be so polite last time. Guo Rong grabbed Zhao Kuangyin's arm, personally helped him onto the horse, and then rode a horse himself, and said, "Seventh brother, let's not enter Chang'an today, how about going to the military camp in the western suburbs?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, what time is it now, how can there be any spare time to go into the city and what to drink. If he was Ma Yun, after the victory in Dangshan, he would not attack any Songzhou at all, and directly selected 30,000 elite troops, day and night, secretly went to Bianjing, and took advantage of the bad news that Bianjing had just received and was uneasy up and down, and suddenly attacked the city, and the current Bianjing City may already be the state of Chu. Although Ma Yun didn't do this, it didn't take too long to conquer Songzhou, and if Ma Yun had a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, he should also be in Bianjing by now. Once Bianjing is lost, Da Zhou Ke will be in danger.

Before going south, Shi Xubai analyzed the situation for him: the victory or defeat of Dangshan is the victory or defeat of a battle, and to put it bluntly, it is a local war; Whether Bianjing can hold on or not determines the overall trend, to a certain extent, with the meaning of Armageddon, but this Armageddon, if the Great Zhou loses, it will be all over, and if the Chu State loses, it can make a comeback.

The most ideal is, of course, that the main force of the Chu army is concentrated in Bianjing, but it cannot be captured in the short term, and after the arrival of the reinforcements in Guanzhong, the Chu army will be completely defeated and Songzhou and other places will be recovered. The most worrying thing is that the Chu army did not intend to attack Bianjing at all, but only sent a small number of troops to harass near Bianjing, or sent its cavalry to take advantage of the fire in the Bianjing area, while the main force went south to join Ding Sijin and eliminate Wang Yin's troops in Caizhou. As a result, the military strength of the Great Zhou on the southern front was gone. And the Great Zhou is in Henan, and there are only two strongholds left in Bianjing and Luoyang, and the Great Zhou is completely passive, such a blow is definitely not something that can be recovered in three or five years, not to mention, at that time, whether Liu Chong and the Khitan will take advantage of the fire to rob will become unpredictable. The most helpless thing is that the main force of the Chu army suddenly shifted to the east and attacked the Jingdong area, because there were not many soldiers and horses in Jingdong, and it was only a matter of time before the entire Jingdong was taken.

If the white-clothed army has not yet reached Bianjing, but Bianjing has already been lost, then the situation becomes complicated. As long as Luoyang is in the hands of the Great Zhou, then you can use Luoyang as a base, use the cavalry of the Great Zhou, and gallop back and forth on the land of the Central Plains, so that Songzhou, Xuzhou, Chenzhou, Caizhou, Maozhou, Bianzhou, and Zhengzhou all become battlefields. The state of Chu can feed a Xuzhou and let the people of Xuzhou not farm and only prepare for war, but can the state of Chu still feed the people of the entire Central Plains and let them not farm and only prepare for war? This is not the worst, the worst, the least ideal, is that Hebei and Hezhong are also lost, and at that time, how can it be possible to fight against the Chu State by relying on Guanzhong alone? Perhaps, Liu Chong in Hedong will have a contradiction with the Chu State, but the Khitans will not necessarily have a contradiction with the Chu State. You must know that the relationship between Chu and Khitan has always been relatively harmonious, and they are close to each other.

For Zhao Kuangyin, if he wants to make a contribution from this war, then he must defeat the white-clothed army before the fall of Bianjing, and there is no greater military merit than defeating the Chu army. The Chu army is well-trained, and the generals are relatively wise, if you want to defeat the Chu army, there is actually only one way, just like the Chu army grasps Guo Chong's psychology, and grasps the psychology of the Chu army. And what does Chu Jun want to do the most? If the Chu army surrounded Bianjing, then what he wanted to do most would definitely be to conquer Bianjing. If the Chu army thinks that it can safely attack Bianjing, then the opportunity for the white-clothed army has come.
