The army marched very fast, and at six o'clock suddenly encountered a scout scout who came to report the news, and learned that the rebels had actually fallen into the village, and Bailiyan (Wei Xian) was taken aback.

"It's strange, it's not yet noon, the rebels have only walked for more than half a day, and they actually set up camp, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"

"General Wei, will the rebels transfer troops from other places?" Sikong Nan reminded.

"Transferring troops from elsewhere? Whence? ”

"Three days to the west, the horseback is Xianxi County, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 miscellaneous soldiers on the front line of Gubai and Ikeda, and it will only be five or six days away on foot.

"Shhh...... Is this possible? Shanling and Guangxin have had accidents one after another, Qin Han's conspiracy has been exposed, and the Jin army still dares to watch from the wall? Bai Liyan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

The first time Shao Ping was beaten, the Black Turban Army transferred troops from under the nose of the Jin Army, and the Jin Army pretended not to see it. Now that the Xian army is close to Lei City, and the Jin army is still sitting on the wall, he Jin Guo will not be embarrassed.

It is reasonable to be reasonable, Xianguo is also the lower state and ally of the Jin State, and the Jin army has been killed several times and will not be saved, such international jokes have spread, and who in the world will dare to form an alliance with the Jin State in the future.

Of course, the relationship between countries is nothing more than interests, politics is a dirty transaction, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, but at least people have to have a face, a tree, and the most basic honesty and integrity.

You can't just do something to occupy Allied territory in the name of the Allies. If you occupy the territory, you will occupy it, and if you don't save yourself from death, is this still a bit like a big country?

At this time, Sikong Nan said:

"General Wei, this Jin people have no faith at all, it is difficult to ensure that they will sit and watch our army and the black turban thief lose again, and this matter has to be prevented."

"If this is the case, it will be repaid by blood and blood in the future. Let's go, continue on the road, and see what the Black Turban Army has to do. ”

Baili Yan urged the horse to continue on the road, ran for less than half an hour, and sure enough, he found that the Black Turban Army had set up a large formation five miles ahead, and launched a defense on the spot.

The scouts were released again, and the rebel camp lived by water, and on the north side of it there was a small river that was not deep, about two feet wide, and could be crossed by flowing water, without the need to build bridges or ferries. The surrounding terrain is flat, and there is not even a forest within a radius of ten miles, and there is nowhere to hide and ambush. Completely exposed 150,000 people to the wilderness.

But the problem is that the rebels built a camp in situ, and once it was built by the rebels, it was equivalent to a nail wedged between Pucheng, Guangxin, and Dingyang, and at this time the rebels put on a defensive posture, and it was difficult for the cavalry to attack.

At this time, Bai Liyan suddenly discovered that the Black Turban Army took advantage of his caution last night to march westward to fight for two to three hours, so as to set up a defensive posture here, and at the same time dig a camp and stay there for a long time.

Bailiyan saw that the situation was not good, so she immediately went to see Ye Xin:

"Metropolitan Governor, the Black Turban Army has plans to be stationed here for a long time."

"Wouldn't this be better, as long as he doesn't attack Dingyang and Guangxin, he can stay as long as he likes." Ye Xin was quite optimistic at this time, as long as the rebels did not fight Ding Yang and Guangxin, the situation would not be so bad.

"Dadu Governor, this place is located between Dingyang, Guangxin, and Pucheng, so you can reach any of the three places within a day by marching quickly, and if the rebels attack one of them casually, our army will be exhausted."

Bailiyan also saw it at this time, and the Black Turban Army stationed the army here, taking advantage of the favorable situation that the zigzag between the three places was the horn of each other.

Generally speaking, if you attack each other alone, you will be pinned down by two other troops, because it is impossible to take the siege within a day or two, and once the enemy reinforcements arrive, you will have to retreat.

Now the situation is more special, the Xian army is 30,000 cavalry, has an absolute mobile advantage, even though the rebels have an absolute advantage in strength, but it is an infantry army, even if the troops are divided into battles, the rebels attack Pucheng at the same time, it is more than enough to attack Dingyang or Guangxin, but it is easy to encounter the harassment of the cavalry of the Xian army and the concentrated attack on the side, so the rebels want to transfer the main force of the Xian army with the method of division of troops.

The rebels will be stationed between the large army and the three places, and the rapid march state can reach any place within a day, assuming that the rebels at this time divided 50,000 horses to feint to attack Pucheng, if the Xian army wants to follow the attack, at least 20,000 cavalry need to be sent, if the troops are less, the rebels will make a fake show, or even set up an ambush halfway. If all 30,000 main forces pounce on these 50,000 people, what will happen to the main forces of the rebels!

Moreover, under the condition that both sides know each other, the rebels will send 50,000 horses, which must be to guard against cavalry raids step by step, and if they cannot seize the fighters and inflict heavy losses, the rebels may use 50,000 men to lure the 20,000 cavalry of the Xian army to Pucheng.

At this time, if the main force of the 100,000 rebels suddenly went to fight Dingyang or Guangxin, the Xian army only had more than 10,000 cavalry left, and for the 100,000 rebels, it would not pose a threat at all, if the 20,000 cavalry in Pucheng were to be transferred back, it would take at least two days to evacuate the army and rescue, and the rebels had already avoided the main cavalry force at this time, and arrived at the city to start the siege.

"Governor, no matter where our army is reinforced, it will be exhausted by its transfer of tigers from the mountains to the east and west, and this has to be guarded against."

"Then according to General Wei's intentions, what should our army do?"

"Shrink the troops, withdraw the Pucheng people and defenders to Guangxin or Lincheng, leaving only more than 1,000 people to defend the city, if the rebels attack the city, they will flee to Lincheng by boat, and completely cede Pucheng to the rebels."

"Give up Pucheng! Wouldn't it be self-cutting to give up Pucheng, Pucheng is the gateway to the west of Guangxin, if Pucheng is lost, the rebels of Xianxi County can directly take Guangxin, and our army can do nothing about it. ”

"The rebels are now 150,000 people, and 20,000 or 30,000 people can take down Pucheng. If the rebels go to feint at this time, whether our army will rescue or not, and if they do, how many men and horses will be sent to rescue, if the main force of the rebels suddenly pounces on Guangxin or Dingyang, it will not be a plan to attack the west. ”

"But Pucheng is lost, won't the rebels do the same and go to fight Guangxin and Dingyang?"

"No, the rebels definitely don't."

"How so?"

"Dadu Governor, you think, the rebels' surprise attack has not been successful, the two cities of Guangxin and Dingyang are now on high alert, with a large population, if the rebels attack the west with the strategy of attacking the east and the west, how can they capture one of the two places in a short time.

But now Pucheng is different, Pucheng is sparsely populated, and the rebels only need 20,000 or 30,000 horses to conquer it in a few days.

The key is the 150,000 Jin troops stationed in Leicheng, the Jin army has coveted Pucheng and Guangxin for a long time, and taking Pucheng is the gateway to capture Guangxin, and the Jin army will definitely not sit idly by, and the Jin army will immediately take a warship to attack Pucheng.

If Pucheng is taken before our army, they will move 70,000 or 80,000 horses and horses, and they will not leave Pucheng, and our army will not garrison troops at the bottom, and how many troops will be stationed, as far as the current situation is concerned, even if 30,000 horses are stationed in Pucheng, it will be useless. If you don't stay, wouldn't you have tacitly acquiesced in the Jin army capturing Pucheng, how to explain to the king when the time comes! ”

If you are not afraid of god-like enemies, you are afraid of pig-like teammates, and the Jin army will not do anything else, and they will do the most things when they see the needles falling into the well.

When the Jin army occupies Pucheng, it is said that you will be relieved of the siege by the Xian army, and he will definitely not send charcoal in the snow before Pucheng falls, but wait for Pucheng to be conquered by the rebels, and when the rebels have no time to take care of it, he is here to pick up ready-made.

At that time, he will move 70,000 or 80,000 men into the city and not leave, you can't turn against the allies for a city. But if you don't turn your face, they occupy a city for you every three or five days, and block you for a section of the road for three days, if it is often a long time, the Jin army will continue to make small moves, encroaching on your territory step by step, and after three or five years, Xianguo will not give the Jin army half of the territory.

In the final analysis, Pucheng is not unable to give up, but it depends on how to give up to benefit himself.

The rebels are holding on to the death of the Xian army that they have to save Pucheng, and if they don't save it, it will be equivalent to giving it to the Jin army, saving it, and raising tigers at the door of Guangxin's house. To rescue, the rebels just went to fight Dingyang, and at the same time, Pucheng still had to be occupied by the Jin army.

Bailiyan now gave up Pucheng immediately and moved the population away, which was to let the rebels easily occupy Pucheng, but the Xian army just didn't reinforce it.

In this way, the rebels have no way, and they can't look at Pucheng, which has only a thousand defenders, and don't fight, but if it is defeated, the Xian army will not follow the cards, and the rebels themselves will have to move heavy troops to garrison, if the rebels do not set up heavy troops, the 150,000 Jin army of Jiguang will defeat Pucheng, and the entire Beihai County war situation will develop in the direction of the Xian army.

But Ye Xin listened, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, this Pucheng was still going to be occupied by the Jin army in the end, isn't it indistinguishable.

"General Wei, if you give up Pucheng, you will eventually have to occupy it for the Jin army, so it is better to immediately increase troops to defend Pucheng."

"Dadu Governor, no matter how our army increases its troops, Pucheng will not be able to hold it in the end, and even if it increases its troops now, it can only let Guangxin reinforce the infantry army, if our army's 30,000 cavalry go to reinforce, the rebels will inevitably attack Dingyang immediately, so it is the rebels' plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. Although there are many people in Guangxin, there are very few old soldiers, and if the recruits are drawn to Pucheng, it is no different from sending them to death, but it also weakens the defenders of Guangxin.

Only by ceding Pucheng and bringing in the Jin army can the situation of the war develop in favor of our army.

Even if the rebels set off to fight Pucheng today, and the Jin army learned that Pucheng was lost and made a decision to counterattack Pucheng, it would take seven or eight days or even ten days to come and go at the earliest.

Our army can take the opportunity to secretly transport the soldiers and horses of the Yongxing River at this time to strengthen the city defense of Guangxin and Dingyang, and the 30,000 cavalry of our army headquarters will attack westward around the rebels to attack and plunder the northwest county of Xianbei. ”
