Chapter 283: Weighing in and out
Hearing the words of this military division, the eyes of everyone in the tent lit up, this strategy can not be described as poisonous, this is the bottom of the kettle, although Li Wang's official army entered the Goguryeo tribe, it was always the official army of Liaodong.
If there is something in Liaodong County, even if Li Wang has a hundred heads, I am afraid that it will not be enough for the imperial court to cut off. Judging from the investigation of the Fuyu tribe, eighty percent of the soldiers in Liaodong County entered the Goguryeo tribe.
"Now that the garrison of Liaodong County is less than 2,000, if our troops lead an attack, Li Wang, who is concerned about the safety of Liaodong County, will definitely return to the division to rescue, as long as our army sets up an ambush in the middle of the way, attacks Li Wang's army by surprise, or attacks with the siege troops in front and back, it will definitely be able to wipe out all the officers and troops of Li Wang's department." The military advisor said viciously with a murderous face.
Hearing this, Wei Qiutai smiled bitterly: "If you attack Youzhou County, wouldn't you be a blatant enemy of Youzhou?" "Fighting head-on with the officials and soldiers of Youzhou is not what Wei Qiutai wants. If Wei Qiutai wanted to exterminate Li Wang's army, he would not have to wait until now.
Two hours ago, when the herald reported that his 30,000 officers and troops had entered the range of the Goguryeo tribe, Wei Qiutai had already started, and at that time, the distance between the Wei Qiutai tribe and Li Wang's officers and soldiers was only ten miles, and the cavalry could arrive in less than a quarter of an hour.
At that time, the army of Fuyu and the official army rushed to kill, but they were sure of victory. The first reason why Yu Qiutai did not attack at the beginning was that Wei Qiutai did not know why these 30,000 officers and troops came to the Goguryeo tribe. Because according to Wei Qiutai's intelligence, the official army and the Goguryeo tribe are as deep as the sea, not to mention that the day before yesterday Mu Bai sent the general Ji Wei and Qiu Liju to jointly plunder Youzhou, resulting in the displacement of nearly 200,000 people in Youzhou, just say that Gongsun Du led the official army to attack the Goguryeo tribe recently, but the Goguryeo soldiers lost nearly half of them and had to surrender the looted property. Both of these are indissolvable hatreds.
Wei Qiutai also thought that the official army was conquering the Goguryeo tribe again, so he was in the mood to watch the excitement, and wanted to wait until the official army and the Goguryeo tribe fought to defeat each other, and then he would kill all the remnants of the Goguryeo tribe. In this way, he not only gained the Goguryeo tribe, but also reduced the casualties of the soldiers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The reason why Wei Qiutai only killed the remnants of Goguryeo. and did not take action against the officers and troops, which involved the second reason why Wei Qiutai did not attack the officers and troops.
The reason for this is very simple, it is because of Youzhou Mu Zhao Yi. Although Zhao Yi served as the pastor of Youzhou for a long time, Zhao Yi did a lot of things this year, all 50,000 soldiers of the Qiangqu Department died in the hands of Zhao Yi, and the two coalition forces of Qiu Liju and Goguryeo, who invaded Youzhou the day before yesterday, were burned to death by Zhao Yi Nearly 20,000, and then killed 20,000, and even the Qiuliju Wuhuan tribe was almost wiped out by Zhao Yi.
In just one round, Zhao Yi fought the Goguryeo tribe, which is known as the first tribe in Liaodong, and became what it is now.
Zhao Yi's brilliant achievements, every time they reach Wei Qiutai's ears, it makes Wei Qiutai's jealousy of Zhao Yi a little more.
If the Fuyu tribe and the officials and troops of Liaodong County fight head-on, who wins and who loses without chaos, the Fuyu tribe and the officials and the army have formed a grudge, if the official army of Youzhou is as vulnerable as the Liaodong coalition army, then kill and kill.
However, the Youzhou official army is brave and good at fighting, and there is a powerful Wuhuan tribe to which Nanlou belongs to help behind them, not to mention the 80,000 male soldiers of the Youzhou battalion, even the nearly 60,000 cavalry of the Wuhuan tribe to which Nanlou belongs, can fight and can't raise their heads. And more importantly, behind Zhao Yi is the powerful Eastern Han Dynasty, the soldiers, horses, money and food are inexhaustible, how can his tribe fight with Zhao Yi.
Based on these two reasons, Wei Qiutai did not attack the Youzhou official army at the best time, so that the situation has evolved to the current uncontrollable situation. Now the official army of Liaodong supports the Goguryeo tribe, which makes Wei Qiutai a little jealous. Don't fight with the official army, but now the official army is blocking the way of Wei Qiutai's advance, and if you fight with the official army, no matter whether you win or lose, it is very likely to trigger a war between the Fuyu tribe and the Youzhou official army.
The previous Goguryeo tribe's invasion of Youzhou caused Zhao Yi to send troops to conscript, which made the elite soldiers of the department lose their ranks, and their status in Liaodong fell suddenly, and the Fuyu tribe took advantage of the situation to rise and became the largest Yi tribe in Liaodong. Wei Qiutai has not yet received benefits from this first Yi tribe, and if it is defeated by the official army, it will really be worth the loss. This is also a very important reason why Wei Qiutai did not dare to fight against the Youzhou official army.
So when Wei Qiutai said this, the general in the military tent and the strategist also reacted differently. Because Wei Qiutai said it well, the Fuyu tribe is now strong and strong, and it has an absolute chance of winning against the 30,000 officers and troops in the Goguryeo tribe and the remnants of the Goguryeo tribe.
"I don't know what benefits Mu Bai gave Li Wang, causing Li Wang and several other county officials and soldiers to abandon the county town they guarded and come to this Goguryeo tribe." Yu Qiutai sighed deeply, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Fuyu tribe, if he gives up because of this matter, Wei Qiutai is unwilling, and sees that he can attack the Goguryeo tribe, so that the two tribes from the same line will return to the same line again. But I didn't expect it to become like this, and the more Youzhou officials and soldiers added a lot of variables.
The military advisor gently stroked the beard on his chin: "The Goguryeo tribe and the Youzhou official army can be said to have a bitter hatred, and now the two sides can turn the conflict into a jade silk." The humble conjecture promised the officials and soldiers great benefits to the officials and soldiers, so big that the officials and soldiers of Youzhou could not refuse. ”
"Moreover, there is another reason why the Youzhou official army helps the Goguryeo tribe, that is, the Fuyu tribe and the Goguryeo tribe merge together, which is not what Zhao Yi wants to see." The military advisor shook his head and sighed, he also saw this, if the two soldiers merged together, it would be the biggest threat to the eastern part of Youzhou. For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of Youzhou, Zhao Yi must not want his tribe to merge with the Goguryeo tribe. The more chaotic the Yi tribe outside, the more unstable it became. The more stable Youzhou is.
"Did Li Wang see this?" Wei Qiutai asked suspiciously, if Li Wang saw this clearly, I am afraid that when he just got that he surrounded the Goguryeo tribe, he would send troops to rescue him, instead of waiting for the Fuyu tribe to besiege the Goguryeo tribe for many days before sending troops to rescue him.
"It's not like it, if Li Wang saw this, he wouldn't have come so late." The military advisor rubbed his palms, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a possibility, "Maybe Mu Bai told the officials and soldiers of Youzhou about this." ”
After arriving at the Goguryeo tribe, the military advisor suggested that Wei Qiutai take advantage of the morale of the soldiers to take down the Goguryeo tribe in one fell swoop, but Wei Qiutai hopes to negotiate peace with the Goguryeo tribe, hoping that the Goguryeo tribe will be incorporated into his own tribe without blood, if not, Mubai will not have time to contact the Youzhou officials and soldiers.
At this time, a soldier suddenly reported outside the tent: "Chief, the soldiers of the surrounding counties have strange behaviors. ”
"Strange moves?" Wei Qiutai frowned and asked, "What a strange move." ”
"The soldiers and horses of various counties suddenly assembled towards the county town, as if there was a major combat operation." The soldiers told the officers and soldiers about the strangeness.
"The soldiers and horses of the county town are all assembled in the county town?" When Wei Qiutai heard this, his brows furrowed into the word 'Sichuan', could it be that the soldiers and horses of the rest of the county towns were also for the Goguryeo tribe? Thinking of this, the corners of Wei Qiutai's mouth showed a wry smile, the soldiers and horses in various counties and towns in Youzhou have abnormal behavior, this is definitely not Li Wang's reason, in other words, Li Wang has no right at all, looking around the officialdom of Youzhou, I am afraid that there is only Zhao Yi who has such a right.
Only when Zhao Yi, who is the pastor of Youzhou, gives an order, these county officials and soldiers will be assembled without their lives. It seems that the officials and soldiers of Youzhou seem to have made a big move, but what makes Wei Qiutai worried is that he doesn't know who the officials and soldiers want to deal with with in such an action.
If it is against himself, the Fuyu tribe will be in danger, and the 40,000 soldiers of his own tribe alone are not capable of confronting more than 100,000 Youzhou officials and soldiers. The disparity between the strength of the enemy and the enemy is too great.
"Pay close attention to the movements of the officials and troops in Youzhou, and report any changes immediately." Wei Qiutai instructed Tan Ma, and then discussed the affairs of the Goguryeo tribe with the surrounding soldiers.
"Now that the situation is no longer in favor of our department, what do you generals think our department will do now?" Wei Qiutai actually already had an idea in his heart, but Wei Qiutai still had to ask the general in the account what he thought, so he could make a decision. ,
When the military advisor heard Wei Qiutai ask this, he had already guessed what Wei Qiutai was thinking, groped the beard on his chin, and asked Wei Qiutai tentatively: "The leader is now unknown about the movements of the officials and troops in Youzhou, and it is estimated that the changes in the officials and troops may be related to the Goguryeo tribe." ”
"If the officers and soldiers of the Youzhou Brigade come to Liaodong County, then it will be a great threat to us. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers of the official army brigade have not yet arrived, and the leader leads his troops to leave quickly. ”
Retreat before you fight? Hearing this, everyone's faces were different, since the establishment of the Fuyu tribe, there has never been a time to retreat without a fight, even in the face of a strong enemy whose strength is far superior to their own, even if they are defeated, they have not let the enemy see their backs, in the hearts of the soldiers of the Fuyu tribe, it is not ashamed to be killed by the enemy, and it is a shame not to dare to make a move.
Therefore, as soon as the military advisor said this, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the generals in the tent. Some generals with a more impatient temper opened their mouths to reprimand the military adviser without waiting for the lieutenant Qiu Tai to give an order, saying that the military advisor was as timid as a mouse and was not worthy of being the rest of his subordinates.
Hearing the words from the mouth of the general, Wei Qiutai's face became a little unpleasant, the military advisor said the words in Wei Qiutai's heart, and his subordinate generals did not agree to withdraw the army, which made Wei Qiutai sigh slightly in his heart, his own tribe soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but his tribe is only 40,000 people, how can it be the opponent of the Youzhou official army that is twice as large as his own.
Although Wei Qiutai has the intention of retiring from the army, Wei Qiutai, as the leader of the Fuyu tribe, can't say this, because this will be too big a blow to the morale of the tribesmen, and the important thing is that it will also affect the deterrent power of Wei Qiutai in the tribe.
"Leader, please!" The general in the tent bowed down and asked Wei Qiutai to decide whether this matter was feasible.
