Chapter 132: A lifesaver
To the east of Weinan, Dongyang Station, a large number of cavalry are staying here, Yang Guang, the king of Jin and others in the post station, are dining, and the trembling post is waiting on the side, and the atmosphere does not dare to come out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Baqiao was defeated, Yang Guang seized the road and ran wildly, fled all the way east under the escort of the cavalry, passed the Xinfeng camp without stopping, and then went to Weinan, and arranged for the generals to continue to go east after defending the city.
The pursuers were gradually thrown away, and when they came to Dongyangyi east of Weinan, the Zhou army was gone.
It was noon when Baqiao was defeated, and everyone came here with an empty stomach, gobbling up the food offered by Yicheng, others were fine, and Yang Guang had not yet come back to his senses.
He had never personally led his troops to fight a major battle before, and he had a long history of military affairs and Sima to serve on his behalf, and this defeat can be said to be the first major setback in his life.
Yang Guangxiang thinks very highly of himself, only feels that he has been slapped in public but he can't fight back, and he can't even dodge, so he can only be humiliated in front of everyone.
Defeated, Yang Guang was defeated, there were so many troops under his command, and as a result, he collapsed by himself halfway through the battle, hahahaha!
There seemed to be whispering in his ears, Yang Guang only felt that everyone was laughing at him, his mind was full of other people's ridicule, and he wanted to cry loudly, but his self-esteem did not allow him to do so.
I really want to find a crack in the ground to get into, or find a place to hide, and never ask about the world.
The food and cheese paddles on the table did not move at all, Yang Guang looked at the food table with his hands in fists in a daze, and Yu Qing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him when he saw this: "Your Highness, fill your stomach first, your body is important." ”
"But..."
"Your Highness, don't worry, your majesty has a plan."
Yu Qing asked others to avoid it, and asked Yang Guang to listen to his analysis while eating, this Yang Erlang is so six gods and no master, which is exactly what he meant: young people have no backbone, so they will naturally obey him, so that their talents can be displayed to the greatest extent.
The current situation, first of all, is to stop loss, holding Huazhou Prefecture to govern 'Zheng' is the key, Weinan is too close to Chang'an and is easy to be surrounded, and can only be used as a victim of the Zhou army in Chang'an.
Yu Qing suggested that Yang Guang gather the defeated troops and defend Zhengcheng, and at the same time convey the news of the defeat and the facts to Luozhou and Hedong, so that Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and Hedong Prefecture organized army reinforcements.
"Your Highness must hold Huazhou, no matter how bad it is, you must defend Tongguan, and there must be a place in the pass to wait for the situation to change."
"What is a change in the situation?"
"Your Highness, those rebel generals defected to the Zhou army, not to mention how much effort they will exert in the future, just food can give the Zhou army a headache..."
Yu Qing continued to analyze, the big granary in Guanzhong is Taicang in Chang'an, and the other is Guangtong Warehouse in Weikou.
There were already a lot of Zhou troops who entered the customs, and now with the rebellious Sui army, the number can be said to have doubled, and the daily expenses of so many soldiers are not a joke.
In addition to the army and the people, the household registration of Chang'an is 100,000, although the people will have grain in their homes, but it will not be too much, without the import of grain from other places, the grain production in Guanzhong alone is far from enough.
As long as the Sui army holds Huazhou, and the defeated Jing and Yuan armies are held in Longyou, the Sui army in Shu is also very likely to march to Guanzhong, so the Zhou army in Guanzhong also divides troops to guard the passes everywhere, plus the surrendered Sui army, the logistical pressure will inevitably increase dramatically.
Taicang in Chang'an City, to feed the people of Chang'an and so many troops, the burden must be very large, so the Zhou army has to rely on Wuguan Road to transport food from Shannan, but this is only far water can not save the near fire, not to mention anything else, the loss on the road alone is enough.
Yu Qingze's idea was to confront the Zhou army in Guanzhong as much as possible, and if he missed the Guanzhong for spring ploughing, the harvest would be cut off in the autumn, and the great famine would inevitably break out.
Without food, unable to feed the people and soldiers, can the Zhou army stay in Guanzhong?
"Peng Chenggong, in the current situation, my army is afraid that it will not be able to wait for autumn, once Luozhou falls, the Zhou army will advance west... Alas. ”
"What if Wei Chi sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight?"
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned, Yu Qingze's words pointed out a problem, that is, Zhou Guoguo may have an internal bar, but is this possible to come true?
"It's possible, of course, the lower officials can't guarantee that it will happen, even if the probability of occurrence is small, it may be there."
Yu Qing said that the spirit came here, the political situation of the Zhou State is a little delicate, and there may not be no cracks between the prime minister in power, Chi Hui, and the clan Yu Wenliang.
The same is the Zhou army, the Shannan Zhou army is different from the Zhou army in other places, the army that invaded Chang'an is the Shannan Zhou army, and the commander is the Qiguo Gongyu Wenliang, which is one of the few armies that can be completely controlled by the Zhou clan.
If this army is finished, then for the Wei Chi clan, I'm afraid it's happy to see it, right?
"Peng Chenggong is saying that Wei Chi Yuan's side may stand by and let Yu Wenliang work hard in Guanzhong, and he will not rush to help?"
Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and Yu Qingze's guess made him see a glimmer of hope, although it was slim, but it was also a hope, a hope for a turnaround.
"It can only be said that there is a chance to appear, and the lower officials dare not be sure that it will happen, but as long as there is this possibility, it is the reliance of His Highness to reverse the situation!"
Cranes and mussels compete for the benefit of fishermen, and Yu Qing feels that if he becomes the captain Chi Yuan who is in power, then he has a very poisonous strategy to deal with Yu Wenliang: take advantage of the weakness.
Taking advantage of Yuwenliang's presence in Guanzhong, in the name of the imperial court, he sent people to Shannan to seize power, and then Yuwenliang was in a dilemma, and after a few months of hard support, he was defeated and died in Guanzhong, and the Yuwen clan was completely wiped out.
Of course, this kind of behavior is too shameful, and it will make the world look sideways, and it is safer to watch from the wall.
Maintain the current front, do not let the Sui army in Luozhou or Hedong have the spare strength to return to Guanzhong, and let Yu Wenliang's Shannan Zhou army consume the Sui army in Guanzhong, which will take several months, and the food can only be returned to Shannan.
The Shannan Zhou army retreated, the Sui army in Guanzhong was greatly injured, and the food could not be helped, and the Sui army in Luozhou and Hedong was almost consumed, so Wei Chi Hui could exert his strength to let the generals of Wei Chi's family lead the Zhou army to break through Luoyang and enter the Guanzhong.
The same is the recovery of rivers and mountains, the recovery of the Yuwen clan and the recovery of the Yuchi clan are two situations.
If Yu Wenliang leads the recovery of Guanzhong, then the strength of the clan will increase greatly, which is not good news for the ministers.
If the generals of the Wei Chi clan attacked Guanzhong, then Yuwenliang's power would be limited to Shannan, and even if the Zhou State unified Jiangbei, the Yuwen clan would gradually decline, and he would no longer be able to return to the sky.
Yang Jian usurped power, it was Wei Chi Hui who raised the banner of Zhou State, if Guanzhong is recovered again, then the country of Zhou is protected by Wei Chi Hui, and he recovered it, and he can be crowned king with this great achievement.
Wei Chi Yuan, who is in power but is old, can follow Cao Cao's story to be Emperor Wu of Wei, and let his son be Emperor Wen of Wei, and finally become the bag of Wei Chi's family.
People with a little brains can see this delicate situation from the current political situation in the Zhou State, and Yu Qing puts his hope on the point that the Zhou State will be inward-bound.
"Wei Chi Hui is the nephew of Zhou Taizu, and he may not kill the Yuwen clan out of friendship, but he also has sons, grandsons and clansmen, so it is impossible not to consider the interests of the Yu Chi family."
"Therefore, the generals of the Wei Chi clan watched from the sidelines, deliberately delaying the war, so as to weaken Yu Wenliang is a very likely thing, although the probability is not necessarily great, but as long as Zhou Ting's assistance is not timely, then our army will have a chance."
Yu Qing said the truth, Yang Guang couldn't help but nod his head, the haze in his heart had dissipated, and he had finished eating and drinking unconsciously.
There is hope but it is very slim, first of all, the Sui army in Guanzhong must stop the decline and avoid the Chang'an Zhou army from taking advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results; secondly, at least hold Tongguan, and not let Luozhou suffer from the enemy;
Finally, pray that the court of the Zhou State will watch from the wall and not fully support the Zhou army in Guanzhong.
Three unknown factors lead to a very low probability of a final comeback, but Yang Guang is still very excited, because he at least has a chance, just like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, his mentality is instantly different.
"Your Highness, the top priority is..."
Before Yu Qing finished speaking, someone entered the city to report urgently, saying that news came from the Huazhou Prefecture that the rebellious Yanzhou army had moved south from Wuxiang in Tongzhou and arrived at Xingdejin at the Weishui ferry, and it seemed that they were going to attack Zhengcheng, the governor of Huazhou Prefecture.
"Your Highness, set off immediately without further ado, and enter Zhengcheng before the rebels besiege the city!" (To be continued.) )
