Chapter 898: Retreat to Hanzhong

"Shut up." It is the luck of the generals to have such a group of subordinates who are outside the life and death level, but the current situation is urgent and complicated, Zhang Xiu must not let such a noise continue. As a general of an army, he has to stand higher in the angle of considering the problem, the first battle of Yinxian is only a part of the war in Hanzhong, according to the law of Cheng Yilong, he may indeed benefit from this battle, but he can't help but consider the impact of using this method on the morale of the Yan army! The commander of an army has the majesty of a commander of an army, and as soon as Zhang Xiu spoke loudly, the room immediately quieted down.

Young generals have the courage to put forward their own opinions and take responsibility for them, and Zhang Ping's older commanders have the courage to be as good as young people in life and death. However, the two armies cannot win the battle against the soldiers with blood and courage alone, and there is also a distinction between the part and the whole, and in some cases, the tactics that are beneficial to the part may not be able to play a role in the overall situation, and sometimes they will even have the opposite effect because of the momentary gains, so it is necessary for the generals of the unified army to evaluate the situation as a whole, and in their eyes, there must not only be a part, but they must not forget the success or failure of the overall situation at any time.

When Zhang Xiu was thinking, everyone chose to be quiet, and the eyes of the military advisor still did not leave the timer, and the competition between the people did not have the slightest impact on it, but everyone would never be resentful about it, Zhang Hu's long-term performance has proved that everything he does is necessary. After weighing it again and again, in the end, Zhang Xiu's gaze still stopped at the military division, in his heart he was already inclined to adopt this strategy, although it would have a certain impact on the morale of the army, but he believed that with the quality of the soldiers of the Chang'an battalion, it could be adjusted, but the matter was big, although Zhang Hu would pay the battle to him, but the military division was present, he still hoped that he could give instructions.

"Zhang Ping led his troops to attack again for a while, and the whole battalion withdrew to Hanzhong!" The military advisor who had been silent for a long time finally made a move, but as soon as this remark came out, it was beyond the expectations of most of the generals present, and although the situation in front of him was also urgent, it seemed that it had not yet reached the critical moment of 100,000.

The commanders of both sides of the Hanzhong War, Cao Cao and Zhang Hu, are all known soldiers, which can be said to be master duels, but often such a big battle related to the overall situation may not be called exciting, both sides are clear about each other's goals and advantages at a glance, and will not leave too many opportunities for the enemy to take advantage of, "first for their own invincible, and then for the enemy to win." "Become a common guiding ideology, all surprising victories are to take a certain risk, and it is also very necessary for the other party's cooperation, and once both sides are dignified, the coach is considerable, it will become a confrontation and hard power competition, here in the Qingzhou battle is also very obvious, but here in the advantage of the Cao Army!

In the way of Go and chess, there is a so-called "nameless game of the big game", for the sake of vital interests, both sides will choose the most secure tactics, the delicate situation is always unexciting, and the fierce situation rarely appears, which is the same in the way of soldiers! During the Warring States period, there were four famous generals, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Lian Po, Li Mu, Qin and Zhao accounted for half each, each of them had extremely brilliant examples, and there was no lack of wonderful and strange tactics to use, but when these four famous generals faced each other, the battle situation was really lackluster, and it seemed very dull.

In the early stage of the Battle of Changping, the main general of the Zhao army was the old general Lian Po, in the face of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops with hundreds of thousands of advantages, his response was to hold on, and did not use any too advanced tactics in it, and his grasp of the battle situation was extremely honest, and it could even be said to be a little clumsy! But stupid methods are the best way to deal with certain situations, no matter how Bai Qi lures the experienced Lian Po to show the gap, he is unmoved, it seems to be weak, but the Qin army is always unable to break through the defense line of the Zhao army.

Later things are very clear to everyone, the Qin people used the rumors and tricks together, so that Zhao Guo changed generals in battle, and Zhao Kuo, who talked on paper, replaced the old and steady Lian Po, and faced Bai Qi's show of weakness to this famous general Zhao Hao after the whole line attacked, and was in the arms of the enemy, Changping fought a battle of Bai Qipit to kill 400,000 elite Zhao Army, not only established his reputation as a murderer, but also defeated Zhao Guo, the most powerful opponent of Qin State, in one fell swoop, after such a huge loss, Zhao State only had to defend the situation!

After Qin Wang Ying's government ordered the general Wang Jian to lead the army to attack Zhao State, it was another general Li Mu who led the army to resist, the two lost the attack and Mo Defense, and the situation was stalemate, at this time it was Li Si and others who used countermeasures to make Zhao Guo change generals, Li Mu refused to obey his fate and was given death! It seems that the anti-intermediary scheme is always very useful to King Zhao, but it is a little unpleasant! Now that the big tree has fallen, how can Zhao State be able to resist Wang Jian again? was swept into the dust of history by the Qin army like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves!

The battle of Changping veteran Lian Po strategy implementation thorough, based on years of experience in the battle formation and the strength of the two sides to make the most accurate judgment, now the battle of Hanzhong Cao Cao's control of the situation is also general, whether the enemy on the opposite side is Zhang Hu or Liu Yi, the disadvantage of the force is difficult to change, as long as you grasp this main aspect and hit it is the best tactic! As the attacking side, his choice is more flexible and mobile than that of Lian Po back then, and his advantage is constantly expanding.

Compared with Zhang Hu's understanding of the battle situation will not be under Cao Mengde, but he is more constrained, Micang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain are both strategic locations, if he has a slightly sufficient number of troops, if Zhang Liao's Yanyun Army is already in his hands, then the loss of Micang Mountain will never appear, relying on the two major dangers plus the existence of Yinxian County and Ma Chaosizhou Battalion, he can build a three-dimensional and in-depth defense line to deal with Cao's army. But the fact is that the troops available in his hands are less than 100,000 horses in the second battalion of Si Governor Chang'an, and he does not know too much about the combat strength of the Hanzhong army.

With Cheng Yilong's strategy Zhang Hu can definitely delay Cao Jun for more time, but as the commander-in-chief, and the mastermind of Liu Yi, the king of Yan, he considered the level of a few points higher than Zhang Xiu, as soon as the thunderbolt tank came out, Yinxian County became a scorched earth, and the generals could only see the loss of morale of the army, but Zhang Hu had to consider the people's hearts in Hanzhong, which had a far-reaching impact on the great cause of King Yan.

For a long time, "the people are your society, and the second king is light", "the people's hearts are back, and the success or failure lies" has only a certain symbolic meaning in the hearts of the world, that is, the understanding of a great talent like Zhang Hu and Guo Jia here is far below Liu Yi, but in the face of the menacing Han and Zhang coalition forces in the battle of Sili, Zicai can be regarded as thoroughly understanding the meaning of the people's war in the mouth of King Yan! If it weren't for the vigorous help of the people of Sili, how could the retreat of the coalition army become full of holes in such a short period of time, greatly delaying the speed of its retreat, and buying the most ample time for the Yan army to completely annihilate the Han and Zhang coalition forces.

The logistical advantages of the Yan army in the Sili battle are vividly brought into play, all kinds of materials can be transported to the designated place in the shortest time, the defensive positions of the infantry army can also be built in the fastest time, and the wounded can be properly settled, and all this comes down to the four words of the people's will! Liu Yi's policy of cherishing the people, Zhang Hu himself has been sitting here for many years, and his efforts have made the people who have gradually become richer have a stronger sense of belonging to Yandi, and once they encounter external blows, they will burst out with great potential, and they are the potential heroes behind the scenes!

When Zhang Lu governed Hanzhong, he was also known as a political and harmonious person, but now when King Yan arrived, there were many fights, and the people were displaced and suffered from the war, and they naturally complained, many times they would not care about the general trend of the world, their own livelihood was the most critical, if this war used the method of scorched earth, a jade stone in Yinxian County was burned, it was a great blow to the prestige of King Yan in Hanzhong, and the impact of the use of people with a heart was that Zhang Hu was difficult to make an inference!

As a general, it is correct to consider the gains and losses of the pure war, but from Zhang Hu's point of view, there must not only be considerations within the battle situation but also considerations outside the war, even if the people's hearts are put aside, once the Chang'an battalion loses too much in this Yinxian county, it will also have an adverse impact on the next Hanzhong defense war, and so Zhang Liao's army is already his limit today, and the resoluteness of Cao's attack has reached the worst point in his calculation. It's not good for the whole at all!

"Military advisor, according to Captain Yi's law, our army can fight a battle, and Zhang is not a person who cherishes his life, it is too early to talk about victory or defeat at this time, why do you want to retire?" For Zhang Hu's command style, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, including Gan Ning and other generals are very well understood, although the military division is a scribe, but on the battlefield, there is never a lack of killing decisions, once he makes up his mind, it is undoubted, but in this regard, he has to beat Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others, in order to be the commander of the three armies. But generally speaking, out of respect for the authority of the general, Zicai will rarely overstep the level to give orders, which is also quite taboo in the army, with Zhang Hu's thoughtfulness and nature, so after the military adviser spoke, Zhang Ping hesitated for a moment or said, King Yan never objected to the generals to put forward their own opinions.

"The situation is like this, there is no time to elaborate, all the generals will go down to reorganize the army, go on business, and organize the whole army to retreat to Hanzhong!" Zhang Hu didn't pretend when he heard this, he still said firmly with a wave of his right hand, the consideration of the two is not at the same level at all, and he doesn't have much time to explain it at this time!

"No!" This time with Zhang Xiu as the leader of the generals are bowing down to receive orders, once the military order is clear, understand to implement, do not understand the same to implement, this is also the iron law in the Yan army, and then have to put it in the heart, if this leads to the delay of the whole army's action, regardless of whether the opinion is right or wrong, the parties must be heavily responsible for the military law, here as a Yan army general, everyone is well aware!

Zhang Xiu, who had the order of the military division, immediately arranged it personally, and the link often used in the battle formation of the withdrawal of the army was repeatedly emphasized by King Yan in the drill outline, and it must be done to the point of meticulous carving, otherwise it will be easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy. But Zhang Hu sighed in his heart, Zhang Liao's Yanyun army was not able to create a miracle in the end, and the situation he had to face after retreating to Hanzhong would be even heavier!
