Chapter 502: Strategizing
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xuan was furious at Liu Ying's claim to be emperor, and immediately sent Prime Minister Li Song and the general Su Mao to attack Linjing and crusade against Ru Ziying, who had already been proclaimed emperor.
Ruziying is the emperor in Linjing, but there are not many soldiers and horses under his command, not even 10,000 people, only relying on thousands of soldiers and horses, how can he resist the army of Li Song and Su Mao?
In this battle, the time of marching and the time of fighting, before and after, were added together, and it only took two months, and the Linjing forces were defeated, and Ru Ziying, together with Fang Wang, Gong Lin and others who supported him, were all killed by Li Song and Su Mao.
After the battle, no one deliberately looked for the body of the child, and along with other soldiers who died in battle, they were abandoned in the wilderness, which can be said to be a place to be buried.
Ruziying, the last crown prince of the Western Han Dynasty, was first usurped by Wang Mang to the crown prince, and then has been under house arrest in Chang'an, and was deliberately raised by Wang Mang as a fool who didn't know six animals and couldn't even speak clearly.
Finally, the Han family was revived and entered Chang'an, but he was not treated well, and was ignored by Liu Xuanliang.
Later, he was used by Fang Wang, Gong Lin and other careerists, and was proclaimed emperor in Linjing, only two months later, he was killed by Li Song and Su Mao, ending his tragic and short life. Until he died, he was only twenty-one years old.
Liu Xiu's shield fell, and Liu Xuan should have immediately pointed the finger at Liu Xiucai in Hebei, but immediately someone stood up and replaced Ru Ziying, and continued to be a shield for Liu Xiu, the Red Eyebrow Army.
The Red Eyebrow Army supported Liu Penzi as the emperor, and fought against the court headed by Liu Xuan, and between the two, it was naturally incompatible. Fan Chong, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, sent two armies to the west to conquer Chang'an.
These two armies bypassed Luoyang, where Zhu Kun and Li Yi were stationed, and approached Hongnong, and Yu Hongnong successfully joined forces.
Hongnong is located between Chang'an and Luoyang, and if you advance further west from Hongnong, it will be Chang'an. The Red Eyebrow Army fought Hongnong, and for Chang'an, it was not much different from the soldiers coming to the city.
There is such a huge threat as the Red Mei Army, where can Liu Xuan take care of Liu Xiu, gather troops in Chang'an, and go east to Hongnong, wanting to fight to the death in Hongnong with the Red Mei Army.
Therefore, on the surface, Liu Xiu's luck is really good, he has not yet fully gained a foothold in Hebei, and his strength has not fully accumulated, but he has already shown a strong momentum.
But at such a critical and vulnerable moment, the imperial court was unable to send troops to Hebei, and was completely restrained by all kinds of rebellions and crises.
But looking at it at a deeper level, I have to sigh that Liu Xiu's timing of the attack in Hebei was really good. It can be said that he calculated in advance that there would be chaos in Chang'an, and that there would be a life-and-death battle between the Red Mei Army and Chang'an.
He calculated that Chang'an was unable to send troops to Hebei, so he killed Miao Zeng first, and then Xie Bow, captured Hanoi, and preliminarily identified his foundation in Hebei.
After Liu Xiu occupied Huaicheng, he brought Cen Peng and Han Xin under his command.
Although there is a lot of trouble in Chang'an now, and the Red Eyebrow Army is inseparable, and there is no strength or army to crusade against Hebei, but Hebei is not stable internally, and now the happiest ones are the Bronze Horse Army and the Five School Army.
The Bronze Horse Army was like a bamboo in Julu, attacking the city all the way, while the five school troops flowed to Zhending, and Zhending made a fuss, and Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, has repeatedly passed the letter to Liu Xiu and told Liu Xiu to be anxious.
Outside Huaicheng, the Han army camp, inside the Chinese army tent.
General Liu Xiu commanded all the generals, summoned to the Chinese military tent, and said: "Recently, it has been reported that the Bronze Horse Army has arrived in Wuxian County, and wants to storm Yancheng. ”
Everyone present frowned. Unexpectedly, the Bronze Horse Army has made such a big fuss in Julu, from the north of Julu, to Julu City in the south of Julu.
Liu Xiu continued: "In addition, the army of the five schools has fled to Zhending, looting everywhere in Zhending, and the king of Zhending has passed on to me many times, asking me to send troops to rescue. ”
As soon as his words fell, Jia Fu arched his hand and said: "King, the last general is willing to lead the army to Zhending and level the thief army of the five schools!" ”
Liu Xiu looked at Jia Fu and pondered. Jia Fu fights, too strong, only advancing and not retreating, more than brave, but not calm enough.
If Jia Fu is kept by his side, it is undoubtedly an extremely sharp knife, and if Jia Fu is made a pioneer officer, it is also a good hand, but let Jia Fu lead the troops alone and be the chief general of the first army, Liu Xiu is really a little uneasy.
Seeing Liu Xiu's embarrassed face and hesitation, Jia Fu asked again: "The lord is not worried about the last general leading the troops to fight?" ”
Liu Xiu has always loved Jia Fu, and of course he will not damage his face in public. He said with a smile: "Jun Ran misunderstood, if Jun Ran personally went out and wiped out the five school army, it would naturally be easy, but it was a bit overkill!" ”
Jia Fuzheng said: "King, let the last general go!" ”
Seeing Jia Fu staring at him with a face full of anticipation, looking at himself with a blank eye, Liu Xiu couldn't say anything when he got to his mouth.
He pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Jun Ran, you lead 50,000 soldiers and horses, send troops to really decide, and suppress the thief army of the five schools!" ”
Jia Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, immediately got up, intervened in the salute, and said in a loud voice: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Liu Xiu has always favored Wu Han and Jia Fu, Liu Xiu likes the former, people can't say anything, Wu Han has repeatedly made military exploits since he took refuge in Liu Xiu, and there are two state pastors who died in his hands, there is such a tiger general, who can not like it?
Compared with Wu Han, Jia Fu's credit is somewhat lacking.
If you want to go to the battlefield and fight with the enemy, then Jia Fu really doesn't have to say, he is brave and good at fighting, bravely crowning the three armies, single-handedly, killing among the ten thousand armies, without blinking his eyes. But he did not have the merit of leading the army to victory like Wu Han.
Jia Fu didn't say anything, he always had a knot in his heart about this, and now that he has the opportunity to lead the troops to the battle, he naturally doesn't want to miss it, and does his best to fight for it.
Liu Xiu assigned Jia Fu as the main general, and sent troops to Zhending, and appointed a deputy general for him, Feng Yi.
Jia Fu is fierce, and Feng Yi is steady, Liu Xiu hopes that Feng Yi's steadiness can neutralize Jia Fu's fierceness, so that the soldiers and horses commanded by the two of them can advance and retreat to a certain extent.
After the affairs of this side were discussed, Kou Sui changed his words and asked, "King, how should the Bronze Horse Army of Julu deal with it?" ”
Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "I will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to gallop to the aid of Julu!" ”
Kou Sui nodded, feeling that it was safest to have the king personally go out and pacify the bronze horse army.
The Bronze Horse Army is different from the ordinary rebel army, with a huge momentum and a large number of troops, and the leaders of the Copper Horse Army, Dongshan Barren and Shanghuai, are not idle people.
Dongshan Barren and Shanghuai are both Chinese, not Japanese, and the reason why the names are so strange is that they themselves later changed their names.
As for why it was changed to such a strange name, there is actually no special reason, it just sounds scary.
When the incident first started, the strength was weak, and giving yourself a majestic name was not only easy to scare people, but also easy to make a name for yourself and recruit more subordinates.
Deng Yu coughed dryly and said: "King, the stability of Hebei is important, but we can't stay out of the battle of Hongnong!" ”
Liu Xiu asked, "What does Zhonghua mean?" ”
Deng Yu said: "The king thinks that in the battle of Hongnong, Liu Xuansheng or Red Eyebrows won? Liu Xiu was amused by Deng Yu's words, and then thought about it seriously, and said: "Whether Liu Xuan or Red Eyebrow, neither of them occupies the sky, Liu Xuan's army fights in Hongnong, and has the advantage of geography, while the Red Eyebrow Army has the advantage of people, but Liu Xuan's geographical advantage."
Zhiyou, I'm afraid it's not as good as the people with red eyebrows! ”
In terms of overall strength, the Red Eyebrow Army was stronger than the Imperial Court. In Liu Xiu's opinion, Liu Xuan may not be able to defeat the menacing Red Eyebrow Army this time.
Deng Yu smiled and said, "It seems that the king thinks that Liu Xuan will be defeated. Liu Xiu nodded with a smile. Deng Yu said: "If Liu Xuan is defeated in Hongnong, then the Red Eyebrow Army can drive straight into Chang'an, the king, the last general thinks that this is a golden opportunity for our side, a chance to seize Guanxi,
and even a good opportunity in Guanzhong. ”
"Capture Kansai and Guanzhong?" Liu Xiu muttered thoughtfully. "As the saying goes, if two tigers fight, there will be one injury, and if the situation is better, one will die and one will be injured. Whether it is Liu Xuan's death, red eyebrows, or red eyebrows, Liu Xuan's injury, it is very beneficial to our side, at that time, we will take advantage of the chaos to forge ahead and seek Kansai and Guanzhong
, can lay the foundation of the king! ”
Before Liu Xiu could speak, Liu Zhi frowned and said: "Now Hebei is undecided, and General Deng wants to seek Guanxi and Guanzhong, but where do we still have so many troops?" "Choose the right time, do things, then you have to do what you can, now Liu Xuan and the Red Eyebrow Army are fighting fiercely, it is indeed a good opportunity for their own side, but the problem is that the thief army in Hebei is too troublesome, to pacify these thief army, their own existing troops
It is still insufficient, where are there still surplus troops to seize Kansai and Guanzhong.
Deng Yu smiled indifferently and said to Liu Xiu: "King, the last general is willing to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, go beyond Taixing, go out of Jiguan, and take Hedong first!" ”
Ha Dong is located to the west of Hanoi and across the river from Hong Nong. Passing through the east of the river, and further west, is Feng Yijun, one of the three auxiliaries. Deng Yu's strategy was to let Liu Xuan and Chimei break the blood flow in the Hongnong area, and he led the army into Hedong and knocked Hedong down first, so that his side would also open the door of Sanfu, and then whether it was westward Sanfu or south to Hong
agriculture is very beneficial to oneself.
Liu Zhi and the others widened their eyes, looked at Deng Yu in surprise, and couldn't help asking, "General Deng only led 20,000 soldiers and horses to take Hedong?" ”
For Jingshi Chang'an, the importance of Hedong is not inferior to Hongnong, Deng Yu only led 20,000 soldiers and horses to capture Hedong, is it too arrogant, right?
Liu Xiu also frowned, and reminded meaningfully: "Zhonghua, there is no joke in the army, you need to think twice!" ”
Deng Yu Zhengse said: "King, the last general will lead 20,000 soldiers to fight in Hedong, and this battle will be won!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Xiu was amused, and asked with a smile: "Zhonghua tell me, how can our army win?" Deng Yu said: "First, the Red Mei Army is hundreds of thousands, menacing, and our army is only 20,000, and the strength of the people is weak, so Liu Xuan will put the elite division in Hongnong and fight to the death with the Red Mei Army." Second, even if Chang'an sends troops to reinforce Hedong, its morale and energy will inevitably be dispersed by Hongnong's Red Mei Army. Third, Liu Xuan is mediocre, the dynasty is chaotic, and the people are not happy, which has long been unpopular. Fourth, Liu Xuan's first part is mostly a green forest thief army, which is not much different from the thief army in Hebei, and the general will have confidence in the end
It's easy to take! ”
After Liu Xiu heard this, he smiled on his back, pondered it carefully, he nodded, and said: "Okay, according to what Zhonghua said, I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of the whole army, below the generals, you can choose." When Deng Yu heard this, he immediately got up, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said: "Thank you for the king's trust, the last general will live up to his mission!" ”
