The next day, Zhao Hongrun returned to Gongxian County, and the first thing he said was to summon the main and deputy battalion generals in the Wei army and 3,000 generals at this level, all to the commander's office. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army who was sitting in Xiangcheng at the moment, and Sun Shuke, the general of the third battalion of the Yanling Army who was still in charge of the migration of Chu people to Xiangcheng, and the generals of the three armies under Zhao Hongrun's command were all in the tent to listen to Zhao Hongrun's instructions.

“…… This is the case. ”

At the military council, Zhao Hongrun announced the entire strategy of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, to the generals of the Wei army under his command, and even if it was Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng army, his expression became more and more serious.

After all, the big move of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was too big, Lu Xi's Qilu coalition army, Zhao Hongrun's Wei army on the west road, Tian Tan's Qi army on the east road, as well as the leader of Dongyue Shaokang and the rebel army of West Yue, as well as the Qi army that went out of the Yushan fortress and the 50,000 cavalry of northern Sichuan that Zhao Hongrun secretly transferred to the Shangshui army.

These soldiers and horses are conservatively estimated to be about 600,000, not including the additional troops of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, in the future.

It's no wonder that after listening to Zhao Hongrun's words, several generals in the Shuai Institute couldn't help but gasp.

600,000 Qilu, Weiyue coalition troops, and more than 100,000 Chu troops, the troops invested by both sides in this battle are already close to the astronomical figure of two million.

This number makes people's scalps tingle.

Because it is no exaggeration to say that in the past hundred years, there has never been a battle of such scale in the countries of the Central Plains.

Therefore, not to mention other people, even Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Army, also had a feeling of horror when facing this situation.

After all, the scene of this war is too huge, so huge that just listening to a few rough words is enough to make people breathless.

In the whole house, there was silence, and the generals of the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army looked at each other with a worried expression.

Even Cai Baohu, the general of the Xiwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, who has a big personality, is full of solemnity at the moment, but the belligerence in his eyes is extremely hot.

And steady generals such as Qu Cheng, Wu Ji, Yan Mo, and Nanmen Chi crossed their arms and pondered.

It's not that they're afraid of the upcoming big battle, they're just a little afraid of the opponents they're about to meet.

Chu General Xiang Mo, Shouling Jun Jingshe, and Xiling Jun Qu Ping, which of these three people is not a big man with a reputation throughout the Chu State?

Especially Qu Cheng, as the next person surnamed Qu, he will never be unfamiliar with Qu Ping, the clansman of Xiling Jun.

"I didn't expect that this time I would actually meet Lord Jingshe on the battlefield......"

Yan Mo couldn't help but mutter.

Hearing this, several Yanling army generals of 3,000 people, including Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gongyesheng, and Zuo Qiumu, also showed similar worried expressions.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at a few people and did not speak.

Because he had already heard the deeds of Shouling Jun Jingshe and Xiling Jun Qu Ping from his sixth royal brother Ji Zhao, the two of them could definitely be called the orthodox nobles of the Chu State who came out of the mud and were not stained, including the Diyang Jun Xiong Shang that Tian Tan would meet.

Perhaps, the erosive state of Chu has not fallen to this day, perhaps because of these virtuous ministers and talents of the state of Chu, who supported it with all their might, and prevented the state of Chu from being destroyed under the greed of most of the Xiong nobles in eastern Chu.

Especially Shouling Jun Jingshe, if there are any characters in the Wei State who can be equal to the status of the former in the Chu State, then there is only Zhao Hongrun's fifth uncle, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu.

Zhao Hongrun did not stop the whispered discussion or emotion of Yan Mo and the others in the house, because he knew that several people like Shouling Jun Jingshe and others were all heroes of the Chu State, and Yan Mo and the others were born in the Chu State, they would feel entangled, which was a matter of course.

Zhao Hongrun believes that Yan Mo and other generals will eventually be able to correct their mentality.

Sure enough, after a while, Yan Mo let out a long breath and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Yan Mou would have the honor to be an opponent with Lord Shouling Jun Jingshe in this life, it is really a blessing for three lives." Speaking of this, he felt something in his heart, turned his head and saw Zhao Hongrun looking at him intently, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, on the battlefield, each is its master, and since Yan Mo has returned to the Great Wei, he will never be half-hearted." ”

"Well, this king believes in you, and I believe in all of you here." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said in an affirmative tone.

To be honest, he didn't want to continue this topic, after all, people like Shouling Jun Jingshe and others were all very charismatic nobles in the Chu State, and they were not comparable to the Juyang Jun Xiong Carp, and the more they talked about it, the more they would make the generals under his command who were born in the Chu State even more entangled.

So, he diverted the topic and said: "What Fang just said is the strategy designated by the King of Qi, so for now, let's talk about the specific arrangements of our army." ”

Hearing this, the generals in the room immediately regained their hearts, because they knew that His Royal Highness King Su was going to assign a specific task.

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "First of all, it is Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State who is currently stationed in Fang Zhong, and his nearly 500,000 soldiers under his command ......."

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Army, and said in a deep voice: "General, this king hopes that you can take on this important responsibility. ”

"Yes!" Xu Yin hugged his fists, accepted the task with a serious face, and then grinned: "Xu has long heard of Xiang Mo's prestige, and he has never had the opportunity to meet, and today, he finally got what he wanted." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment, and then said to Xu Yin with a solemn expression again: "General, please leave it to you." ”

The reason why he used such a tone was because the task of the Fen Cheng Army this time was too arduous.

Although Zhao Hongrun has quickly transferred the 5,000 soldiers of the Dongwei Battalion stationed in Xiangcheng to Gongxian County, even so, the Fencheng army is only about 15,000 people, and this alone wants to resist the 500,000 army at the end of the Xiang, which is simply the most difficult challenge in the world.

But Zhao Hongrun can only do this, because he does not have many soldiers in his hands, although the strength of the Yanling army and the Shangshui army has increased to 40,000 at present, but these two armies have incorporated too many Chu State troops, so that the army is still out of the run-in stage, and it is difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness.

Thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun felt that only Fen Chengjun could take on this role.

Probably noticing the guilty look in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, Xu Yin smiled indifferently and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, although my Fencheng army is not good at running around, but in terms of holding the position, the remaining five garrisons in the country, who dares to boast that it is comparable to my Fencheng army?" ”

He still wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't expect to be snatched away by Cai Baohu, who he loved: "Your Highness, don't worry, Xiang Mo dares to lead the army to attack, come to one old Cai, I will kill one, come two to kill a pair!" …… It's just 500,000 people, and I'm a non-commissioned officer who kills ten of them. ”

I have to say, how fierce these words are, but looking at Cai Baohu's seemingly heartless appearance, everyone in the room didn't feel the slightest sense of toughness, but felt a little funny: According to your calculations, the million-strong army of Chu State, isn't it also that you can kill twenty soldiers in Fencheng alone?

In fact, a soldier who can kill three enemy soldiers on the battlefield is already an elite, and it is almost impossible to kill ten or twenty.

But at this moment, everyone in the room naturally won't grasp the loopholes in Cai Baohu's words, such as Zhao Hongrun, he followed Cai Baohu's words and smiled with joy on his face: "Okay!" General Cai is worthy of being a brave general! ”

After selecting Xu Yin to resist Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State, Zhao Hongrun did not formulate any dead tactics for the Yanling Army and the Shang Water Army, because the south bank of the Hunhe River can be said to be full of Chu soldiers at the moment, and the tactics formulated by Zhao Hongrun in the rear can catch up with the rapid changes in the battlefield ahead?

Therefore, at this time, Zhao Hongrun decided to divide power and authorize the Yan Ling army and the Shang Shui army to decide the right to decide the war on their own.

"Qu Cheng, Wu Ji."

"The end will be." Qu Cheng and Wu Ji hugged their fists in response.

"On the south bank of the Hunhe River, there are Chu troops all over the place, and the danger of this battle is beyond imagination. …… This king hopes that the Yan Ling army and the Shang Shui army can temporarily put aside their prejudices and fight for merit, and join hands to unite. ”

“…… Be. Qu Cheng and Wu Ji glanced at each other, although he nodded in response, but to be honest, neither of them had much hope.

Because although the Yan Ling Army and the Shang Shui Army were both Pinghui Army back then, they are already strangers now, even if Qu Cheng and Wu Ji are willing to reconcile, it may be difficult for the soldiers of the two armies to work together.

At best, it's just a few things like Yan Mo's grabbing of merit.

After that, Zhao Hongrun successively promoted several generals and granted them the authority to lead the troops alone, such as Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army, and several 3,000 generals such as Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gongyesheng, and Zuo Qiumu.

On the side of the Shangshui Army, those who were given the authority to lead troops alone included Lu Zhan, Xu Jiong, Nanmen Chi and so on.

There is no way, the Chu army is everywhere on the south bank of the Hun River, if the Yanling army and the Shangshui army are together, they will probably not be able to advance the front to the south.

In this case, it is better to divide the troops and break them into parts, it is easier to find the flaws of the Chu army.

It's just that in this way, it is easier to be swallowed up by the Chu army with overwhelming troops, so it will test the vision of the main general to avoid evil and gain insight into the battle situation.

To put it bluntly, the division of troops into small forces depends on the ability of the commanding generals. On the contrary, it is just a senseless division of troops and self-inflicted losses.

Therefore, the most test of this is the scheduling ability of coach Zhao Hongrun, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji, as well as the on-the-spot performance of Yan Mo and other generals who lead the troops alone.

If there is a problem with only one of these three, then the Wei army will be severely hit.

Because of this, Zhao Hongrun actually didn't want to make this arrangement, but there was no way, the troops in his hands were insufficient, if they didn't make this arrangement, their Wei army would not even be able to gain a foothold on the south bank of the Hu River after breaking through the Hu River.

"Remember, in the early stage, it was mainly to harass the Chu army and weaken the Chu army. …… Remember the sixteen words of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed and disturbing, the enemy tired and I fight, and the enemy retreating and I chase, before this king ordered a general attack, our army will not set up camps, will not confront the Chu army head-on, and will not be exposed to the enemy's noses......"

In the following time, Zhao Hongrun carefully explained the tactics of guerrilla warfare to his generals, and he did not force these generals to master them immediately, as long as they kept them in mind.

"If anyone thinks that our army is cowardly, don't pay attention to it, you just need to remember two points: first, win this battle; Second, survive. ”

"Yes!"

After looking at each other, the generals responded with their fists clenched. (To be continued.) )
