Chapter 893: The Strategy of Xiao Shen, the Commander of the Liaoxia Coalition Army (Second Update)
Chapter 893
"Su Xiang, the Liaoxia coalition army is not one after all, the purpose of the Liao State is to suppress my Great Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia hopes to regain the lost territory, so there are two ways for the lower officials."
"First, don't pay attention to the others, the soldiers are divided into two ways, all the way to attack Longzhou, all the way to attack Shizhou, if these two states fall into the hands of my Great Song Dynasty, the territory of the East Road of Western Xia is almost lost, but this method will only make the Western Xia people nervous, and the commander of the Liaoxia coalition army, I'm afraid he won't care too much about the fate of the Western Xia people......"
Su Dongpo nodded approvingly. "What about the other way?"
"Please leave part of the army of Su Xiang to garrison Yinzhou, the army moves westward, cut off the connection between Longzhou and Shizhou, and the main force of the army is on the east bank of the Wuding River ferry, according to the movement of the Liaoxia coalition army under the city of Youzhou, and then set the stop, whether it is to directly cross the river to reinforce the ancient city of Wuyan, or go south to continue to attack Longzhou."
Su Dongpo looked at Zong Ze standing in front of the map, and after listening to these words, he finally stood up, it was obvious that this second strategy was indeed more in line with Su Dongpo's mind.
The important thing is that Zong Ze is right, how could the commander of the Liao State care too much about the life and death of Western Xia? First, it is to prevent the Great Song Dynasty from going down to the Western Xia in one fell swoop, except for the northwest border trouble of the Western Xia, and second, it is to show the great military might of the Liao State and remind the Song State that the strength of the Liao State is still not something that the Song State can defeat.
As a result, a month has passed, and the battle has become like this, which has made the Liao State extremely embarrassed, and hundreds of thousands of troops have no chance to show their fangs at all, and they have been worn out by Youzhou, which is harder than bones.
Under such circumstances, the change of commander is naturally to seek to open up the situation, and the land of Sanzhou must be an important attack area. Su Dongpo also understands that Zong Ze's first strategy is the most secure, and the nearly 100,000 troops don't have to move too far at all, so they are here to do their work.
But the problem is that if the commander of the Liao army ignores the lost city and territory of Western Xia at all, and directly buries his head in the south, it will form an embarrassing situation where you fight yours and I attack me.
However, this situation is the last thing Su Dongpo wants to see, so only the second strategy is more reliable. Arriving at the east bank of the Wuding River, if you want to cross the river, it is easy to cross 20,000 soldiers and horses in one day.
If they did not cross the river, although the army would lose the opportunity to continue attacking Shizhou, it would be able to cut off the connection between Longzhou, southwest of Yinzhou, and the rest of the Western Xia territory, and completely encircle it into an isolated city.
In this way, when you want to take Longzhou, it depends on the mood of Master Su, or if the Liao army moves south quickly, Master Su only needs to leave a small number of soldiers and horses to continue to besiege Longzhou, and the army can cross the Wuding River to lay a solid defense line in front of Hongzhou, so that the Liaoxia coalition army does not dare to rush forward easily and go straight into the hinterland of Sanzhou.
In the end, after discussing and communicating with all the civil and military personnel, most of them agreed that Zong Ze's second strategy was more stable and operational.
For this reason, Su Dongpo also issued an order, and the army began to move in the direction of the Wuding River, where the ancient city of Wuyan was located, and in addition, sent messengers to rush over in advance, so that Huang Shouxin, the general of Hongzhou, began to prepare ships.
After the military discussion, Zong Ze did not leave, but stayed. "Su Xiang, why did you just issue so many military orders, but you missed a single soldier and horse?"
"Are you saying that the way of the cultivator and the fold are suitable for them?" Su Dongpo smiled freely, smiling like a treacherous old fox.
"Exactly." Zong Ze nodded, looking at this Su official, it seems that the other party must have other plans.
"In Wang Yang's letter, it has already been mentioned that he wants to let the seed master Dao and Zhe Keshi stay still for the time being, which is the reason why the old man hesitated for a long time and finally did not mobilize the soldiers and horses."
"Wang Wushan, who has been in Youzhou City for more than a month, is afraid that he is already about to be suffocated. At that time, if the Liaoxia coalition army went south, Wang Wushan, who was sitting on tens of thousands of horses, would not believe it if there was no action. ”
"And this kid can always win by surprise, since he wants to let the planter Dao them stand still, then it's up to him."
"Anyway, the old man's 100,000 strong soldiers, with the soldiers and horses of Hongzhou and Wuyan Ancient City, are enough to make the Liaoxia coalition army dare not venture lightly."
After listening to Su Dongpo's words, Zong Ze nodded suddenly. "What do you mean is that if the Liaoxia coalition forces ignore Youzhou, our Lord Wang may be able to leave Youzhou?"
"In short, he's not a guy who likes to watch the excitement, but likes to do things." Su Dongpo rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly.
#####
"Got news?" After putting down the water cup that had just been raised, the seed master Dao walked quickly towards Zhe Keshi.
"Well, news from Lord Xiao Wang, here...... He told us to stand still for the time being when we were sure it was safe. If the main force of the Liaoxia coalition army moves south, we will try to avoid it, but we still need to inform Yu Youzhou of our movements in time. Zhi Keshi handed the message he had just received to the seed master and explained.
"What is he trying to do? Are you still thinking about making a big one? "The heart of the cultivator Dao was hot, and this battle lasted for more than a month, but he, except for relying on the city in Xinyanzhou to block the attack of Renduo Zongbao, he had never done a single thing that made his blood boil.
On the other hand, this kid jumped up and down, and also sent soldiers and horses to the hinterland of Western Xia to wander around, which really made the first general of the Western Army both envious and jealous.
"It's very likely." Zhe Keshi smiled, squeezed his eyebrows, and looked impatient. "Lord Xiao Wang has been holding back for more than a month in Youzhou, if he has the opportunity to come out and don't do a big vote, then he won't be called Wang Wushan."
"Yes......" Seed Master Dao nodded approvingly. After the change of commander of the Liaoxia coalition army, there will definitely be a big move, which gives us an opportunity. ”
"Cheer up the brethren and be vigilant these days. In addition, send someone to cruise around Youzhou, and if there is a messenger coming out, we can also respond. ”
"No problem, I've been in Wuchi and here for more than ten days, and I feel like my body and bones are about to rust. Alas......"
For three days, for three whole days, the Liaoxia coalition army had no intention of attacking, but in the big tent of the Chinese army, it became the busiest place for this army.
Countless generals are spitting and arguing about the next strategy and tactics. And Xiao Shen's situation in just three days, the whole person has gone from being high-spirited at the beginning to being anxious and tired, and his face is withered.
However, at this time, the result was finally achieved, and the general Yelu Jinping would continue to sit on the periphery of Youzhou, leading 80,000 warriors from Western Xia and various ethnic groups to trap Youzhou.
Xiao Shen personally led the army south, and after converging with Yelu Daton's 50,000 horses, he first annihilated the Song army outside the ancient city of Wuyan, and then directly took Hongzhou, the hinterland of the three states.
