883 rebellion
The use of rail transport has also made it easier for the Republican Army's logistical replenishment, but it is important to understand that the Republican Army's logistical replenishment is not carried out in an extremely favorable situation, or rather. The Republican Army's rail supply system was just the beginning, for example, north of Jinyang, and became a separate rail transportation system.
Inside the east of the river is a railway system. Although the railway systems of Hedong and Bingzhou converge at Jinyang. But except for what the military needs. There doesn't seem to be much material delivery that needs to be controlled remotely. The Republican Army simply solved the problem of rail transport. But there doesn't seem to be much concern about how to manage and dispatch the problem, and they believe that the situation of the railway should be solved naturally.
The supply of the railways is still not yet effective in making a comprehensive supply adjustment. For the Republican Army, I have to say, this is a relatively big regret.
Outside the tent of the Kwantung Coalition Army camp, Cao Cao was very angry. For Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance. He was annoyed, but helpless.
"Lord, how's it going?" Xi Zhicai asked anxiously.
"Ugh." Cao Cao sighed. Then he headed for his own barracks. Xi Zhicai also shook his head. Immediately after that, he left.
Xi Zhicai checked some of the situation on the front line, although Guo Yan snatched back the fourth line of defense. But the other side did not carry out a larger counterattack on a large scale. This kind of reaction can only show one situation, that is, Guo Yan's military force is still not strong enough, and if the opponent's forces are sufficient, it may launch an attack to a greater extent, and such an attack is difficult for anyone to bear. Or rather. In such a situation, it is not an extremely simple thing to accomplish such a situation.
After Dong Zhuo's army launched a counterattack, it would inevitably launch a counterattack to a greater extent, expel the Kwantung coalition army, and even inflict heavy losses on them in terms of troops, but the situation was that it did not. The whole thing didn't happen.
Xi Zhicai learned through the intelligence provided by the inside line that the Republican Army did not provide too many supplies to Dong Zhuojun, and after most of the materials entered the area controlled by the Republican Army in Luoyang City, they did not move again. This shows that Dong Zhuojun's strength is very limited, and in such a situation, the Kwantung coalition army should actively launch a tentative attack, because the opponent's strength has been released. This means that in the next defensive battle, they may not have much strength. It's the perfect time to go on the offensive.
Therefore, Xi Zhicai boldly suggested that he attack again. In order to launch a greater degree of recovery operations as soon as possible.
There is nothing in this advice. It may give the Kwantung coalition a temporary military victory. But Yuan Shao refused to do so. Because he was frightened by the terrible situation at the front described by his generals. That indescribable situation made him feel very unacceptable. Even, in many cases, he thinks, such situations are unacceptable.
And, in his personal opinion, morale has suffered a big blow. Such a huge explosion cannot be recovered all at once. There is also the fact that the sergeants suffered heavy losses. The soldiers complained. They don't want to attack again. To a greater extent, it was frightened by the explosion. They were afraid that after launching an attack, they would be attacked again by such a massive explosion. The result? Their troop losses are likely to be even higher.
The Kwantung generals considered not only the blow to morale, but also the excessive weakening of their own strength and the loss of local interests. It is precisely for this reason that they resolutely oppose launching another larger-scale attack, a tentative attack, and will not recover for the time being, because the losses of this blow are too great. A lot of people can't get back to their senses all at once. This is a relatively big blow to them. If the situation can be improved, this is a good option for them.
One effect of this huge explosion was that the Kwantung coalition generals generally had negative thoughts. They didn't want to lose their strength when they attacked Luoyang. This will be a big challenge to their position at the local level. Therefore, the likelihood of another attack becomes very low. Xi Zhicai had already learned that this situation might exist, but he didn't expect that the situation would be so serious.
Cao Cao hadn't thought of the dirty ideas of the generals in various places. But if you want to change this more thinking at once, you have to do something. Otherwise, the whole situation will be in an extremely unfavorable dynamic. That's where they have the biggest disadvantage at the moment.
Cao Cao is still full of ideals, but unfortunately, most of the Kwantung coalition forces no longer have such ideas. It's definitely a big, big blow to them.
The situation of the war is still ongoing. Maybe another attack. It's good. It is a pity that the Kwantung coalition forces are no longer able to attack again.
Guo Yan is also constantly inspecting the front line. There is no way, this kind of thing, they have to deal with carefully. His logistical supplies were very poor. It's time for the soldiers to start running out of food again. Even if you are full, you still eat poorly. The condition of the ammunition is irritating. They withstood at most one full-scale attack by the Kwantung coalition. And then.
Guo Yan looked helplessly at what was happening on the front line. Then they may really have to retreat.
This blasting. Consumed a lot of **. It is unlikely that there will be another such counterattack. Guo Yan was worried. But the crux of the matter remains in the rear, not the front.
Li Dao also had a headache. He walked on the withered streets of Luoyang. There was no one on the street at all, and many houses were empty. It seems extremely deserted. Where have all the people gone? He didn't know. The streets of Luoyang, which were bustling in the past. Now it looks like everything is so broken. Li Dao really suspects that this is not Luoyang, but Chang'an. The dilapidation of Chang'an is also an extremely helpless thing, so I can only give up. Is this really the case today? He himself didn't know.
Despite good news from the front. But now, he feels that it is unlikely to get a more favorable development trend.
Fiscal problems have erupted in a concentrated manner. Hedong Bank refused to lend again. The Handan Bank hopes to repay it as soon as possible. Even if it is to raise the interest rate. To no avail. The Republican Army, for its part, appears to be acquiescing in such acts.
Li Dao has already taken it into account. Whether to give up Luoyang, give up Luoyang, and return to Chang'an. Sell Luoyang to the Republican Army. Repay part of the loan, as for the rest, Li Wei felt that this was the only best way.
Now it depends on whether the Republican Army accepts such a view, after all, it is more advantageous to be able to accept such a situation in this case.
IRA, Ministry of Intelligence.
"Surrender?" Xu Dou looked at the telegram in his hand and asked the intelligence officer. He is the head of the job.
"Yes, sir, many tribes in the steppe are extremely fierce in the cold winter for the sake of supplies. In particular, those tribes that had just fallen from the north suffered heavy losses in cattle and sheep, personnel, supplies, and other aspects. If they want to develop, they don't have any resource advantage at all, and the most terrifying thing is that they will be annexed by nearby tribes. The only way to preserve their tribe is to surrender, even though this seems unacceptable to us. But for them, it's a very normal behavior, and they do it only to the victors, the strong and strong. The intelligence officer explained.
Xu Dou touched his chin and looked at the telegram to think about it.
The Republican Army can accept them, but, who knows if they are steppe wolves or not, they will bite back when they are full, and then they will leave. The IRA gave out the benefits, but it turned out to be a lot to lose.
Xu Dou had to think about this matter seriously, and he believed that many things were beyond his control.
"Sir, I think it's okay to surrender, but we have to disperse and digest them, but if we do this, the other party can't accept it at all. Obviously, this cannot be carried out to the end. The intelligence officer said.
"Well, but you're right, the initiative is in our hands, we can refuse, or we can accept it. The conditions have to be made for us. Otherwise, let them choose to go. Other things don't have much to do with us. Xu Dou said. This kind of problem can only be solved in this way.
"Regarding the issue of Luoyang, we must complete it as soon as possible, the date of sending troops is getting closer and closer, and we cannot delay it indefinitely. The Luoyang side should provide a certain amount of support for the armed forces, so that they can speed up the integration of the armed forces, preferably from within the enemy. Among Dong Zhuo's army, he rebelled against some troops and made them wait for us in some key positions. This is conducive to controlling the development of the situation. Xu Dou said.
Because the Luoyang militia was unable to provide strong military support. In desperation, he could only think about such a thing. It seems that such a situation is not good for the IRA, but there is no need to think too much about it. Such a thing is already troublesome enough for them.
"Yes, sir." The intelligence officer said.
The armed forces of the Luoyang militia are very limited, the conditions are extremely immature, the number of militia is far lower than expected, the weapons, training, and combat effectiveness are low, and if Dong Zhuojun concentrates his forces to deal with it, it may cause losses on a larger scale, and this kind of loss is unprecedented. Therefore, in such a situation, the Republican Army has to choose to counter some of the opponent's forces to weaken, and at the same time strengthen some of its own practices, as for how to do it, of course, money. This is the most straightforward approach, but it is unstable.
