Chapter 1212 The Northwest is still Wuguan
Apart from the suddenness of the incident, it did not cause much disruption to the country's policy, and the opportunity actually contributed to the movement of people between Huaixi and Huainan.
After all, now the target of the imperial court in a short period of time will be Yang Jian instead of Yu Wenxian, and Huaixi, as the main assembly point for the departure of the army, is likely to be hit hard once the war is unfavorable. Of course, if Yang Jian can be defeated, then Li Xinchen will naturally gain a large number of people, and it is inevitable that these people will continue to be placed on the front line of Guanzhong, which borders Yuwenxian, so Huaixi is also a good place to migrate the population.
The imperial court can also be regarded as a blessing in disguise through this snow disaster. More importantly, the Huang Yu Department stationed on the southwest side of Huaixi Province went north with the help of disaster relief, and successfully converged with the Chun Yu Cen Department in the northwest of Huaixi, which finally made up for the lack of troops in the Huaixi Defense Line, but did not cause a strong reaction from Yang Jian on the other side.
Presumably, Yang Jian, who was busy planning the battle with Yuwenxian after the beginning of spring, did not notice these "logical" details.
Li Xinchen's gaze then fell on Xiao Maha's body, and Xiao Mahe also took a step: "Your Majesty, the hussar general reported the Nanyang war, and the minister conveyed it on behalf of the minister, now the hussar general Xiao Shilian is in Nanxiang on the west side, the Anbei general Chun Yucen is in Huaixi Dengzhou, and the Annan general Huang Play is in Huaixi Huaizhou (now Miyang), and Nanyang has formed a three-sided encirclement situation. ”
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, Huaizhou and Dengzhou are actually the result of this transaction with Yu Wenxian, in fact, these two places have been the border between the East and the West since the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into the Eastern Wei and Western Wei, and the Southern Dynasty intervened from the south, so for many years it has been a place of tripartite war and tug-of-war, and because of the long-term war, the land is barren and sparsely populated, and the situation is not much better than the no-man's land in the north and south of the two Huai.
This Nanyang to the south to Suizhou and Yingzhou, in the Eastern Han Dynasty was actually quite rich and prosperous, Nanyang is the emperor's hometown, Jingzhou is also a rare land in the world rich in fish and rice, but it is a pity that so many years of war have already destroyed this piece of fertile soil into scorched earth.
In the past, the density of counties in this area was far greater than that of almost all places except Guanzhong and the Central Plains, but now even in Lingnan and Jingnan in the south, the density of counties is above it, and the Northern Dynasties only generally demarcated a few empty shell states and counties, in fact, there are no subordinate counties at all, and its embarrassment and its own barrenness can be seen.
This is also why Yu Wenxian is so generous, these state capitals are like a useless tentacle, surrounded by the two sides of Nanxiang and Huaixi of the Han Dynasty, and they will be attacked by Yang Jian to the north, so guarding this place is just a burden for Yu Wenxian, rather than waiting for Li Xinchen to grab it directly, it is better to sell it for a good price.
By getting this little tail that Yu Wenxian didn't want, Li Xinchen was finally able to complete the outflanking of Nanyang and surround the last fortress that Yang Jian left outside Guanzhong. The Great Han Dynasty had just been established, and before that, Nanchen had also gone through several years of conquest, so the treasury of Jiangnan and Jingzhou was actually not abundant, and Bashu had just begun to revivenation.
In fact, now Li Xinchen did not directly annex Yang Jian's capital, which is why Li Xinchen had to cooperate with Yu Wenxian.
Of course, for the south, in fact, the pressure on grain and money is not too big, after all, no matter how the war is concerned, it has only started for three or four years, before that, the Southern Dynasties had a period of respite, and the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi in the north and then to the current Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian, large-scale battles have almost never stopped, so they are more than enough, more than the bottom, although the current Han is relatively tight, but it is not without the power of a war.
After all, the war competition is not only the strength of a country, but also its relative strength with the opponent.
"Nanyang, I am bound to win." Li Xinchen said decisively, "But taking Nanyang is just the beginning, how is the Taiwei Mansion going to be next, you might as well say it today, and let you Aiqing evaluate it." ”
Xiao Maha immediately said: "After breaking through Nanyang, our army can cut Luoyang to the north, and can attack Wuguan to the northwest, although Wuguan is Lantian after it, which is a shortcut for us, but Weichen thinks that if it is in Nanyang Tun to gather heavy troops, there is a chance that it will cause Yu Wenxian's suspicion, if Yu Wenxian turns the spearhead and attacks us, it is no less than a snipe and a clam fight, but in the end it is Yang Jian, a fisherman, who profits, so Weichen thinks that the direction of Wuguan is only and can only be a feint. ”
Li Xinchen frowned, Wuguan was the main battlefield that Li Xinchen originally planned, after breaking the Wuguan, he could enter Lantian and finally go straight to Chang'an, this is definitely the most concise and effective route to enter the army, and the only obstacle that really needs to be overcome is Wuguan. Especially now that the Han Dynasty has developed gunpowder, and the firearms that accompany it should soon come out, it is not without means to restrain the Xiongguan Han.
In contrast, if the army of Hanzhong and the northwest is used as the main force, then this army is still tired and needs to be repaired after fierce battles in winter, not to mention, even if the grain and grass are transferred from Jingzhou and Shuzhong, it is a long way, and the farther Jiangnan and Lingnan are not used at all, and the battle to attack Guanzhong will eventually evolve into a local war, which is diametrically opposed to Li Xinchen's strategic concept of "one go", and at the same time, with the strength of the northwest and Hanzhong, attack from west to east. It is also possible that if you can't fight for it at all, you can directly kill Yu Wenxian under Chang'an City if you break through Tongguan.
This time attacking Yang Jian and destroying Yang Jian is not the point, the focus is on how to seize the most territory and strategic points as quickly as possible.
"What the captain said seems to be a little inappropriate, the northwest is a tired army after a long battle, is it a bit risky to attack Guanzhong directly as the main force?" At this time, Pei Zilie stood up first and said, Xiao Shilian is not in the court, Pei Zilie is actually equivalent to speaking on behalf of the entire army, "In contrast, if you enter the military pass, you will certainly have a conflict with Yu Wenxian, but Yang Jian is defeated, and sooner or later we will tear our faces with Yu Wenxian, and we don't care whether it is morning or late." ”
"Is it a bit presumptuous for the general to say this?" Imperial Doctor Pei Ji frowned and said.
"But it does save money." It is rare for the Tobu Shangshu Luoya to be consistent with the military.
Tang Zhengliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, said loudly: "The minister thinks otherwise, Wuguan and Tongguan are the world's Xiongguan, that day the Western Qin because of the possession of two passes and blocked the six countries, and finally achieved hegemony, want to break through the two passes, it is not easy, the twists and turns, we can not guess now, if the Wuguan is slower than the Tongguan, then it will be too late for us to move the troops in the northwest." ”
