Chapter 53: The Siege of Bianjing

After the Chu army defeated Guo Chong's main force at Dangshan, it immediately took Songzhou bloodlessly, and Bianjing was expected. The situation of the Chu army's unification of the whole country is very good. This made Ma Yun overjoyed, and this good thing was like pie in the sky. Originally, the Chu army just hoped to take the remote Jinzhou in the west, but they didn't expect to be able to defeat the main force of the pseudo-Zhou in Dangshan.

For the state of Chu, the battle of Dangshan was not just as simple as destroying the 80,000 horses of the puppet Zhou. Since Songzhou is Guo Chong's base camp, Songzhou has hoarded countless military rations and ordnance, which has solved the problem of continuous combat of the Chu army at once. Ma Yun's self-confidence has also swelled with this mountain of grain and grass.

In the marshal mansion of Guo Chong in Songzhou, Ma Yun summoned the meritorious generals who participated in the war with great interest, encouraged them vigorously, and issued a notice to calm the people, and arranged manpower to accept and inspect the captured puppet Zhou soldiers. Immediately afterwards, he ordered an expansion of 50,000 troops among the people of Xuzhou, Haizhou, Sizhou, Suzhou and other places, and then absorbed 20,000 horses from the surrendered army. 150,000 troops were stationed in Songzhou.

After the generals took orders and left, only the emperor Ma Yun, the owner of the wind catching room, Zhao Pu, the criminal department of the owner, Zhu Yuan, the head of the eastern line camp, and Xu Hai, the deputy head of the camp, Ni Kefu, were left in the marshal's mansion.

Ma Yun is in a very good mood, and the generals on this line know better than the officials in the center of the army's understanding of the army's combat effectiveness and control of military changes. In Jinling, Ma Yun and Li Xiang analyzed and analyzed, and they all felt that the pseudo-Zhou was strong, not as easy to deal with as the Southern Han and Southern Tang Dynasty, and basically believed that the struggle between Chu and Zhou would be long-term, and only by thoroughly mobilizing the pseudo-Zhou, so that the pseudo-Zhou would be tired of dealing with the armies everywhere, and they would slowly encroach on the pseudo-Zhou. That's the way to go. The officials of the center agreed that it was not yet time for a decisive battle with the pseudo-Zhou.

However, it can be seen from the Battle of Dangshan that this pseudo-Zhou is not as strong as imagined. It is completely possible to fight between Chu and Zhou, and Chu can completely defeat and defeat the pseudo-Zhou with its own strength.

Ma Yun glanced at Zhu Yuan and Ni Kefu with flying eyebrows, it was the "Xiao County Raiders" proposed by these two people that allowed the Chu army to mobilize Guo Chong's troops as they wished, thus creating an opportunity to defeat the puppet Zhou army. Ma Yun was very happy that he could have such outstanding subordinates, and what made him even happier was that he was able to be arbitrary and unusually wise to agree to the "Xiao County Raiders" plan under the opposition of many people in the center, which shows that he also has high military attainments. Destroy Nanping, Ping Nanhan, and break Li Tang, that time he lost his own figure. The whole of this Great Chu said that "Ma Guangmeng and Zhu Yuan" were the two victorious generals of the Chu army, but they led the army to fight and seemed to have never been defeated. They are victorious generals, aren't they always victorious emperors?

Ma Yun asked with a smile: "I have poured all the troops of Huainan and Huaibei, and I want to take advantage of the victory of Dangshan to compete with the pseudo-Zhou for the world, do you Aiqing have any good strategies and suggestions?" ”

Zhao Pu said: "Your Majesty, since Chu and Shu jointly sent troops, especially our Great Chu Central Line and Eastern Front sent troops together, the military pressure of the Pseudo-Zhou Dynasty has been extremely great, and the troops originally stationed in Bianjing have gone south, either to reinforce Wang Yin in Caizhou and Shenzhou, or to reinforce Guo Chongbu in Xuzhou and Songzhou, and Bianjing only left about 30,000 horses. And now that Guo Chongbing has been defeated and died, the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing are terrified, and there is probably a panic up and down the river. If Your Majesty leads the army to attack Bianjing directly, then, if you can defeat the Chu State with one drum, then everything will naturally be fine, if not, our army will besiege Bianjing, so that the news inside and outside the pseudo-Zhou will not be clear, and after a long time, the pseudo-Zhou will inevitably have civil strife, plus, Liu Chong and the pseudo-Zhou in Hedong are feuds, they will inevitably take advantage of the situation to go south, and when the time comes, Hebei will also be in chaos. It's hard for the pseudo-Zhou not to perish. ”

Zhao Pu triumphantly analyzed, in his opinion, since the Chu army was able to eliminate Guo Chong's 80,000 horses, it would naturally be easy to go north to besiege Bianjing. The forces of the puppet Zhou were distributed in three places, Huaibei, Hebei, and Guanzhong. Huaibei is to deal with Chu, Hebei is to deal with Hedong and Khitan, originally the local army in Guanzhong was the weakest, but because the governor of Guanzhong was the only prince Guo Rong, in order to enhance Guo Rong's prestige and strength, Guo Wei deliberately strengthened the army in Guanzhong. made Guanzhong also a place where large armies gathered. However, at present, the army in Huaibei was greatly damaged, the army in Guanzhong was contained, and the army in Hebei did not dare to move in the face of Khitan and Hedong. In this case, the march into Bianjing will naturally be beneficial and harmless.

Ma Yun nodded frequently, and he thought so in his heart. Although this pseudo-Zhou has three fists, each of the three fists has its own opponent, and the middle ground is naturally empty. How could you not take advantage of it?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuan, who was on the side, said: "Your Majesty, although Lord Zhao's words are reasonable, he is not too optimistic about attacking Bianjing. Guo Wei of the Pseudo-Zhou is by no means an ordinary emperor, and Wang Jun and the others are not children who have not seen the world, and the Battle of Dangshan is naturally a big defeat for the Pseudo-Zhou, but it is far from reaching the point of breaking the muscles and bones. At this time, the ministers should put the elimination of the puppet Zhou army in the first place. In addition, although the terrain around Bianjing is flat, Bianjing City is high and difficult to attack, and the army is under the fortified city, I am afraid that it will be taken advantage of by the enemy. ”

Zhu Yuan is the first hero of Dangshan's victory, and Ma Yun still attaches great importance to his words. Ma Yun pondered and asked, "Zhu Aiqing, in your opinion, what should be done now?" ”

Zhu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister has a few suggestions, please ask Your Majesty to judge." First, the minister felt that His Majesty had left some troops to garrison in Songzhou, and he led the army south, joined forces with Ding Sijin and Ding Marshal Ding, and completely wiped out Wang Yin's troops. Once Wang Yin's troops were eliminated, the Huaihe defense line had invisibly advanced a step forward. When the time comes, let's concentrate our troops to attack Luoyang. Once Luoyang is captured, then the pseudo-Zhou Ke will be cut into two pieces by us, so that the pseudo-Zhou will no longer have the strength to compete with us for the world. As for Bianjing, we only need to send a small number of troops to harass it, Bianjing is the capital of the puppet Zhou, and in the case of a large army pressing the border, the puppet Zhou will definitely not dare to move the capital easily. As long as we send troops to harass us, Pseudo Zhou will inevitably try his best to ensure the safety of Bianjing. Bianjing has become a burden for the pseudo-Zhou. ”

This opinion is obviously not in line with Ma Yun's appetite. Under the big victory, Ma Yun couldn't wait to eliminate the pseudo-Zhou immediately. However, the implementation of Zhu Yuan's strategy was time-consuming. Wang Yin is not as impulsive as Guo Chong, Ding Sijin attacked Shenzhou, but Wang Yin of Caizhou just didn't move. It can be seen from this that the result of the southward movement of the army must be a difficult siege battle. Siege is the most time-consuming, and I don't know what the situation is in Guanzhong.
