For the generals of Xuzhou, the Huainan Army's advance arrangements for the Heluo area were something they had never experienced before, not unexpected, but unavoidable. It's like tying people to the torture rack in advance, only to be slashed and killed with a knife at the end, and the feeling of refreshment is simply fascinating.

Feeling the difference in the use of troops between the two towns, the generals of the Xuzhou army were also full of confidence in the next battle of Heluo, and even more eager than the generals of the Huainan army.

As soon as the chief bookkeeper of the Huainan Army finished introducing the layout of this party, the general of Xuzhou stood up and said loudly: "Taobao is a thief, but he lost his master and escaped from the slave, and he was lucky enough to steal Heluo. Now that all parties are no longer constrained, the danger of Heluo has become a predicament, and there is no need for Liang Gong to come in person, and the last general will fight to imprison and kill the thief in the old capital! ”

Other generals also spoke up at this time, and these military leaders were naturally great figures in front of ordinary people, in charge of thousands of people, and sometimes even the Taichung edict could be ignored.

But this does not mean that they are completely free of difficulties, and the pressure to survive is even heavier than that of ordinary people. Especially Shen Zhezi, a young man like Shen Zhezi, who has a deep foundation in Jiangdong, a very high power in the court, and is in charge of heavy troops in Jiangbei, is simply their natural nemesis.

In front of Shen Zhezi, all the capital they could be proud of seemed barren and powerless, and they couldn't even escape. As in previous years, it was ineffective to fight against outsiders in tandem with each other, or to shut up and disobey the king's orders, in front of the Huainan army, because the strength of the Huainan army was far superior to theirs, and choosing confrontation was the next strategy.

As for taking refuge in Jiangdong Quanmen, not to mention whether they have that kind of channel, even if they do, which side of Jiangdong's current ruling power can definitely defeat the Shen family?

It is true that the current Shen clan is much worse than the Langya Wang clan in its heyday, but back then, these homeless handsomes were able to defeat the rebellious Wang Dun by virtue of the king's order. But at present, the Shen family, especially Shen Zhezi, the Duke of Liang, is recognized as a great hero of Jin Zuo Zhongxing in the north and south, and even Duke Xi supports his entry into Xuzhou, what qualifications and reasons do they have to oppose it?

To put it mildly, they can't even find a target for their own dignity now. Especially at present, when the momentum of Jin Zuo Dachang is obvious, and Hu is declining, the only clear way in front of them is not to have too many ideas, and try to occupy a favorable position in the new order that will be formed in Jiangbei.

And the best way to achieve this intention is undoubtedly military merit. As long as they have military merits in hand, no matter whether Liang Gong enters Xuzhou in the future, they will each be able to guarantee something.

They had missed the battle of Liyang before, and it seemed that after the battle of Heluo was over, there would basically be no large-scale battles this year. So at this moment, the generals in Xuzhou really have no wait-and-see thoughts, because this can be said to be their only chance.

Although at present, the Huainan Army has almost paved the early road to recover Heluo, and they have only now enthusiastically asked for battle, and it is inevitable that they will be suspected of picking peaches, but it is better to have a statement than not to express it at all.

Shen Zhezi also smiled at the enthusiastic invitation of the generals in Xuzhou, he did not intend to completely cover all the battles by the Huainan Army. If the Xuzhou army is completely isolated, it will be harmful for him to succeed Xi Jian in the future.

Although the Huainan army is no longer afraid of the Xuzhou army leaders in tandem, after all, they are part of the Wang Division, and if they can solve it by more moderate means, they still have to try their best to avoid complete evil.

What's more, although the performance of the Xuzhou Army in recent years is not as bright as that of the Huainan Army, before the rise of the Huainan Army, the Huaishui side completely relied on the stubborn resistance of these soldiers to maintain the front line of Huaishui, so that Jiangdong avoided direct military aggression.

Shen Zhezi was unwilling to give up even those refugees in Hebei, let alone these soldiers in Xuzhou who had boasting of their military exploits and combat effectiveness. Although these military leaders in Xuzhou have their own personal schemes, there is no conflict of principle between them.

As long as there is a candidate who can be enough to convince the public and come up with a relatively reasonable benefit distribution plan, these military leaders in Xuzhou will naturally be able to blend into a powerful combat force. It was only after satisfying these prerequisites that the Beifu Army was able to appear on the stage of history, becoming the straw for Jin Zuo to continue his life, and then finally ended Jin Zuo after the illegal use.

He raised his hand, first interrupted the Xuzhou generals' request for battle, and then asked people to hang up the map of Heluo, which not only clearly marked some passes, but also included a map of the distribution of troops between the enemy and us.

The distribution of troops of the Huainan Army is naturally very clear, and more than 10,000 troops in the direction of Yique in the south, in addition to besieging the fortress of Yique, are also distributed between some small passes around it.

Another key point is Chenggao, in addition to the original strength of Guo Yu's headquarters outside the Tiger Prison City, Xingyang, which is not far away, has also become a gathering place for the army. And between Chenggao and Xingyang, is the original important place of Aocang.

During the period of the Two Han Dynasty, including the Three Kingdoms period, Aocang was an important warehousing and transportation center and an important crossing of the Yellow River. But now the status of Ao Cang has declined, and the warehouse has long been empty, just as a staging place for the naval army.

As for the strength of the enemy's troops, it is about 20,000 to 30,000, and the specific distribution of its troops can be roughly calculated. The defenders of the southern side of Ique were about 2,000 men, but there were nearly 3,000 mobile troops operating on the left before and after the siege.

Chenggao garrisoned more than 3,000 people, but this had no reference value, because the enemy army could be reinforced at any time. Moreover, these 3,000 men alone can stubbornly resist the army by virtue of land danger under the condition of ensuring that the food and grass are sufficient.

In addition, in the area of Bishan and Hanoi opposite Luoyang, Han Huang's cavalry swept here before, and also found about 3,000 enemy troops. However, some of the enemy forces had retreated to Koheimatsu in the river, while the other part was still cruising near the mountain.

In this way, the main army of Taobao should still mainly stay in Luoyang. This is also in line with the outside world's perception of its army, all the way to the defeat of the army living in Heluo, there is not enough cohesion to lay out and remain undispersed, can only be assembled for substantial personal control in order to maintain the entire army group.

"Although there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, you must also remember not to underestimate the enemy. First of all, Luoyang has the risk of eight passes, if you enter from the outside, you will be divided into the division, if you lack to echo, it will be difficult to become a flat push trend. In the early years of the Peach Kingdom, there were many stables in Hanoi, and most of the animal power was obtained by the Peach Leopard, because there was no shortage of horsemen in its army......"

Shen Zhezi solemnly reminded the generals not to be underestimated, and the unique terrain of Heluo can bring too many changes to tactics. If the armies advance rashly, the army of the peach leopard can completely rely on its mobility and rely on the still vast depth between Heluo and Luo to break through separately.

Therefore, although Shen Zhezi arranged many dangerous passes around Heluo, he did not rely on the large number of troops and wantonly divided his troops to fight. The Battle of Salhu at the end of the Ming Dynasty is a very typical negative example, and the combat area of Heluo is only much larger than the Salhu Theater, and it is much more difficult to achieve strategic cooperation in such a vast area.

On the one hand, it is aimed at the situation that the princes of Shandong are fighting separately and have no subordinates to each other, on the other hand, the core of his tactical intention is to only be trapped and not to fight.

Shen Zhezi is now dividing the danger, not expecting these divisions to attack Heluo, but blocking the passage of the Peach Leopard army. As for his real killer move, it is still on the Yellow River.

The arrival of the Xuzhou army brought many medium and large warships, which made the Jin army's already dominant naval advantage even more obvious. Moreover, it is now late autumn, and the flow of the Yellow River has slowed down, making it much less difficult to trace the river.

With the prosperity of the king's boats and ships, tens of thousands of troops can be thrown to the bank of the Yellow River at one time, and there are many chariots in the army that restrain the cavalry from attacking halfway. The buffer zone between Luoyang and the Yellow River is already narrow, once the Peach Leopard army cannot withstand the first round of the Jin army's impact, it will soon be able to reach the city!

"This time for the battle, although it is not a direct step on the court, but after Yongjia, Wang Shi rarely returned to the old capital of Heluo, and even if he advanced, he swirled around. This time, the army of 100,000 gathered in Hejin, and the momentum has been achieved. ”

When Shen Zhezi said this, he pressed his sword and stood up from the seat, and said solemnly: "The battle is imminent, and there will be no sound of decline." Please just remember that this battle is related to the fortune of the society and the country, and I have come here to supervise the army, and the only two things are shared with you, one is to share the great merit, and the other is the ruthlessness of the sword! ”

When all the generals heard this, they were all awe-inspired, and they all stood up and clasped their fists and shouted: "Share the special merit with the Metropolitan Governor!" ”
