Chapter 703: Division of Troops

"Maybe Marquis Li will accompany Feng Yi on a trip?"

Seeing Han Qian asking for a suitable candidate, Feng Yi suggested.

He believed that Li Xiu's vision was not under the other generals in the army, and that Li Xiu accompanied Feng Yi, who was enough to represent Tangyi, to make Shu together, should be able to complete the task better.

"Li Xiu has another appointment,"

Han Qian shook his head, pondered for a while, turned his head and said to Tian Cheng,

"Whether the Shu army can hold Lizhou and the southern line of Yīn Pingdao in the future is too important to the overall situation of the world in the future. Although Wang Yong has been in control of Shu for two years, how much combat effectiveness the Shu army under Wang Yong's rule, and how well Wang Yong has mastered the prefectures and counties in southern and western Sichuan, it is difficult to give an accurate judgment based on only a few letters and newspapers. ”

"Okay." Tian Cheng nodded and accepted the matter.

Li Xiu didn't know what appointments he would have at this time, he would ask Han Qian to worry about it personally, he stood there and didn't say a word, thinking that Wang Yong, who was in charge of Sichuan and Shu at this time, if it was Zhu Yu or Li Zhihe, Han Qian could rest assured that there would be no big mistakes in the military deployment of the Shu army, but Wang Yong, Cao Gan, and Jing Qiongwen, the trio, was quite reluctant to launch a palace change in a hurry, and it was really hard to say whether he could withstand more pressure this time, and it was indeed enough to make people worry.

However, Tian Cheng, as the chief general of the reinforcement army, the commander of the first town army and the assassin of Shouzhou, Han Qian said that he would send him out, and even Tian Cheng himself had no objections, and seeing Han Qian's direct control of the Tangyi army, Li Xiu was secretly shocked.

If you think about it carefully, the most stable military structure of the Tangyi Army is actually set at the brigade level, and the first to fourth town armies do not have a fixed government office and station.

In addition to Tiancheng selecting a group of people as military attachés to Shu, Han Qian also decided to formally form the Hehuai Xingying Army, control Haozhou, Shouzhou, Xiacai, and the enclave Dan County, with Lin Haizheng as the head of the camp capital, Yang Qin as the head of the Shouzhou assassins, and Wen Bo, Feng Xuan as the deputy head of the leading camp, Xi Nuer as Sima to join the army, Haozhou Assassin Shi Xi Xunqiao and the commander of the capital of the army, Xiao Dahu, Dou Rong, Feng Xuan, Xue Chuan, Tan Xiuqun five horse infantry main brigades, a naval brigade, a Zhouqiao brigade and another 20,000 Tuntian soldiers, A total of more than 54,000 soldiers and horses were placed under the control of the Hehuai Xingying Army, which was responsible for military defense and combat missions east of Yingshui and the middle reaches of the Huai River (northern Haozhou).

After deciding this, Lin Haizheng, Yang Qin, Feng Xuan, Xi Nuer, Xi Xunqiao, Xiao Dahu, Dou Rong, Xue Chuan, Tan Xiuqun and others left, and found another place to discuss the details of the subsequent defensive operations in Yingshui and the middle reaches of the Huai River.

At this time, the sky was dark, and there were not many generals left in the big tent, so Han Qian instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Li Xiu didn't know what Han Qian had just said about his other appointment, and it was inconvenient for him and Cao Ba to retire and leave at this time, so he stood aside and listened to Han Qian and Tian Cheng discuss the specific details that the envoy to Shu would pay attention to.

Guo Duanduo and Shen Peng did not leave.

When everyone was about to move to the back tent with Han Qian for dinner, Huo Li walked in and reported that Kong Xirong had rushed back.

"Hee Rong comes back, then it's not too late for us to negotiate the follow-up before we eat." Han Qian said.

Hearing this, Li Xiu was shocked, and he must wait for Kong Xirong to come back before talking about the next thing, which means that the next thing is to use Kong Xirong as the main general.

Another military operation of considerable proportions?

Kong Xirong's advance army, although it has not returned for the time being

The sequence of the town army, but it is the most elite combat force drawn from the main combat forces, Lin Sheng, Wang Zhang, Han Bao, etc., can be said to be the descendants of the Dutangyi army, and can be expanded into the main brigade at any time.

This winter, Li Xiu felt that Han Qian would continue to use troops on both sides of the whirlpool, so where would Han Qian use Kong Xirong to attack?

Li Xiu thought of an answer, but at this time he was a little incredulous, and glanced at Guo Duanduo and Shen Peng, wondering if the next military action dominated by Kong Xirong had any direct connection with the arrival of Guo Duanduo and Shen Peng.

The main force of the advance army is currently staying in Shangshui County in the southwest of Chenzhou to rest, Kong Xirong left Lin Sheng and Wang Ji to supervise the army in Shangshui, and he rushed back with Han Bao to discuss matters.

The matter had already been decided, and Han Qian waited for Kong Xirong to come back to receive the new military order.

"I decided to organize the northwest wing of the camp army, let you be the head of the camp capital, Li Xiu to join the military, in addition to Su Lie's department, the original army was split into two main battle brigades, respectively with Han Bao and Lin Sheng as the brigade commanders, Cao Ba and Wang Ji as the deputies, the insufficient part of the soldiers, and the Xinzhai Township Yong was dismantled and organized, you and Li Xiu, Su Lie, and Han Bao immediately discussed the plan to send troops, the sooner the troops were sent the better-you have to borrow the road from the south of Caizhou to tear apart the defense line of Fangcheng - Lord Guo and Shen Peng will cooperate with you to borrow the road from Caizhou - to attack Dengzhou. However, after attacking Dengzhou, you don't need to send troops south, your task is to take over Xichuan, Jingzikou and Wu......guan as soon as possible," Han Qian said.

"You don't have a problem with my decision, do you?" Han Qian looked at Li Xiu and asked.

"It is Li Xiu's duty to resist Hu Lu." Li Xiu bowed his head and said.

Han Qian's intention of sending troops to Dengzhou at this time was very clear, in addition to joining forces with the Zhaojun army to tear apart the defense of the Jingxiang rebels in Xiangbei and seize Deng and Junzhou, the main thing was to master Wuguandao, and then Jingluo threatened the Mengwu soldiers and horses who had occupied most of the elite areas in Guanzhong from the southern flank.

He offered a plan to weaken the trust of the Mengwu people in Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian, in the end, the symptoms are not cured, the Mengwu people can completely miss the plan, only Wang Yuankui and Tian Weiye two troops and horses to replenish and rest, and can send a large amount of grain to strengthen Zhao and Wang, so that they can be the pioneers of attacking Shu.

At this time, the Western Liang army personally mastered by Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang had too many injuries and diseases, and the farming, industrial and mining production in the Heluo area were devastated, and it took time to recover......

…………

…………

"The Eastern Liang army withdrew from Xia Cai, and the Mengwu cavalry didn't fight much, so they shrank back from the vortex?"

Chai Jian, Zhong Yanhu and others resisted the attack of the recruiting army in Yingzhou and Jingmen, and Lü Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, Xu An and others remained on the Xiangcheng side, and because Tangyi and Liang troops carried out a strict blockade of the information and communications north of Huaiyang Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, they did not know the news of the retreat of Xu Si's army, Shouzhou army, and Mengwu cavalry from Xia Cai until early November.

Not only them, but even Li Zhihe initially predicted that the Hehuai war would drag on until next spring.

If the Hehuai war is concluded before the end of the year, they think that there will only be two possibilities, either the Eastern Liang army will win a big victory on the west bank of the whirlpool, and the Tangyi army will suffer a heavy setback, and will be forced to give up the reinforcements of the Bianjing army and civilians, and retreat to the south of the Huai River to lick their wounds; Either the Tangyi army won a complete victory and expelled all the Shouzhou army and others from the west bank of the whirlpool.

Li Zhihe resolutely asked to go to Liangzhou to sit in the town, and in the past two or three months, he accelerated the arrangement for the soldiers and families of Deng Jun and the two prefectures to move to Liangzhou for resettlement, and Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, and Chai Jian did not strongly retain him in Xiangcheng to preside over the situation, and it was also based on this that they believed that the final result of the Hehuai War was no matter what

Whatever situation they predicted, they should still be able to control the situation in Xiangcheng and not deteriorate to the point of being out of control.

After the Hehuai war dragged on until the spring of next year, the two sides involved should be evenly matched, and neither showed any major flaws, nor did they seize the flaws of the other side to fight a war of annihilation; And before the end of the year, the war ended, Tangyi was heavily damaged, and Tangyi was the Western Liang army in the north based on Yingxi and Heluo remnants, and the presence of Jingxiang army was needed to contain the main force of the Chu army and prevent Jinling from cutting down Tangyi; If the Eastern Liang army was severely damaged and Tangyi won a complete victory before the year, then it should be Jinling's turn to worry that it would be unfavorable for the recruiting army to enter Xiangbei and whether it would stimulate Han Qian's ambitions to further swell.

Who would have thought that the Hehuai War, in less than two months, the two sides would gather more than 2440,000 elite soldiers and horses on the west bank of the whirlpool, and finally end like this?

How loud is the thunder and how little the rain is in the end?

Han Qian took out the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing by laying a floating stack on the west wing of Chen Bian's passage, and a battle that countless people expected to be extremely tragic before the war ended like this?

However, if you think about it carefully, the Eastern Liang Army combined with the Mengwu cavalry, and the strength occupied an absolute advantage, and the Tangyi army and the people of Bianjing followed, and its main force retreated, and it was impossible to rush north, and the Eastern Liang army and the Mengwu cavalry fought a decisive battle with the Eastern Liang army and the Mengwu cavalry between the ice and snow.

At this time, the Eastern Liang Army and the Mengwu cavalry could not attract the main force of the Tangyi army, nor would they attack the elite of the Tangyi army defending the walled city.

Even if Wen Bo and Tan Xiuqun were once besieged in Dancheng and Wuting, for the Eastern Liang army and the Mengwu cavalry, it was extremely difficult to gnaw on chicken ribs.

Why don't you end the war between the whirlpools neatly and delay it until the next year?

The logic is so good, Lu Qingxia and Zhou Yuan can figure it out afterwards, but this is not the result they want!

“……”

The horse's hooves galloped into the city, and the messenger directly broke into Shangshutai with the order talisman, shouting in panic: "There is a large force of horse infantry moving south in Caizhou, and it is expected to arrive on the north side of Fangcheng Zhuzhai before dusk tomorrow!" ”

Lu Qingxia's face turned pale, his thin hands grabbed the handrail, and the green tendons were exposed, he didn't expect Tangyi to move so quickly, the main force of soldiers and horses withdrew from the Vortex Ying battlefield, and he didn't rest for a few days, so he borrowed the road from Caizhou, Xiliang, and wanted to enter Dengzhou?

Although Caizhou belonged to the Liang realm, they would not think that it was Zhu Yu's Liang army that went south from Caizhou, and at such a moment, only the Tangyi army, which ended the Hehuai war lightly, had the spare strength to attack them.

"On the north side of the three passes of Pingjing, Wusheng and Huangyan, what is the change?" Zhou Yuan asked Xu An coldly.

"There is no news yet, but if the soldiers and horses coming to Fangcheng are indeed the Tangyi army, Zhou Yi will definitely raise troops in Luoshan and Yiyang to force the three passes of Pingjing." Xu An sat down and said.

"How many people have arrived in the vicinity of Fang City?" Zhou Yuan inquired about the messenger who rushed back from Dengzhou to spread the enemy's information.

"I don't know the specifics, but it won't be less than 20,000 people." The messenger said.

Zhou Yuan's heart was cold.

Zhou Shu rate Suizhou camp army sits in Suiyang, although the number of troops is not much, the troops stationed in Pingjing, Wusheng, Huangyan three passes are less, but the three passes are located between Huaiyang Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, in order to cope with the attack of the Zhaoqiu army on Jingmen and Yingzhou, Chai Jian transferred the main force of the Xiangzhou marching army to the southern front, and they did not expect that the Hehuai battle would end neatly before November, so that they did not talk about the Fangcheng defense line, and the combined defensive forces of Deng Jun and the two states were 6,000 people.

In front of the wolf-like Tangyi army, what is this little force enough to do?
