Chapter 823: Coincidental
Qingzhou is the ultimate goal of the first phase of the campaign in the war strategy formulated by everyone, two years ago it was Jia Xu who led the army to attack the Cao army general who was guarding here forbidden in Wenze, when Wen and his men set the strength of Liaodong and Beiping two battalions and Yan Liang's more than 10,000 cavalry troops, with the advantage of troops, when Cao Cao was committed to Jingzhou, the battle situation was promising, but Wen He finally chose not to move, one is due to the calm of the forbidden soldiers, and the second reason is the Sizhou War!
In the overall situation, the main and secondary should be clear, the importance is serious, Liu Yi ordered Jia Xu to attack Qingzhou's biggest purpose is not to take this place but to contain Cao Cao's offensive against Liu Biao, and at that time, the situation of Sizhou being attacked by the combined forces of Han and Zhang was not optimistic, and blindly seeking perfection would inevitably lose, so Wen He did not do his best in this battle, and what he did was also recognized by Liu Yi afterwards! In Jia Xu's heart, the land of Qingzhou and the lord is not a top priority, this place is located in Jizhou and Xuzhou two places in the middle of the attack, Cao Cao must increase the army if he wants to hold steadily, as long as the Yan army is properly planned, this place will become the key to weakening the vitality of the Cao army, this point of view as an important basis for the battle of Yanzhou, has been well implemented in the two-year strategy, and now the momentum of the attack has been formed!
However, even if everyone plans how fine it is, it is impossible to be perfect, now the battle situation has changed, Cao Cao's army is almost certain to go out of Hanzhong, looking forward to its return to help increase the number of troops here has mostly failed, even so the Yan army has no reason to wait, the so-called static braking, the enemy does not move, I do not move, if the enemy moves, I can move first, Jia Xu's words are exactly what they mean! As soon as he spoke, Wen He's eyes looked at Tian Yu, and there was an inquiry, at this time, the autumn harvest was just coming to an end, and the material replenishment of the Yan army had not yet been completed, but it was enough to support such a campaign, so as long as it was properly arranged in wartime, the replenishment of materials could also be carried out at the same time, this logistics matter has always been Tian Yu's supervisor, only he knows best how to arrange it to ensure the smooth progress of the battle!
Guo Jia and Zhicai heard Jia Xu's words, and they all secretly agreed in their hearts that their overall view has always been recognized by the Yan army, and after planning the defense of the land of Hanzhong, Jia Wenhe's focus immediately turned to the Yan army's active offensive, and the reaction was indeed keen and accurate. And for the current war situation, this method is also the best policy, the two of them thought in their hearts but did not speak, launching the campaign in advance is very implicated, and whether Tian Yu's logistics support work can be accelerated in place is the premise of all this.
Facing Jia Xu's inquiring eyes, Tian Jiming did not answer immediately, feeling that he supported the strategic idea proposed by the military advisor, but he must be cautious in actual operation, maybe the affairs of the military family can never be done, because there are too many unpredictable changes, and it cannot be calculated, but this logistics matter must not only be full, but also prepare a few more contingencies, which is also one of the requirements of King Yan for himself back then! At this time, Tian Yu's mind had already begun to calculate rapidly, now that the battle situation had changed, if he wanted to launch the battle of Qingzhou in advance, it would obviously disrupt his previously carefully arranged plan, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to quickly make perfect adjustments!
"Dare to ask the military division, with the current situation of our army's armies, how long will it take to launch a full-scale offensive?" Tian Yu's thinking took nearly half an hour, and it was related to the overall situation, logistics was the most important thing, and he would not allow himself to make any mistakes, and his every word would also become an important basis for several military advisors to conceive the battle situation. The three of them showed great patience in this regard, no one bothered Tian Yu's thinking, the logistics work was very detailed, and its details were by no means under the use of troops, if they wanted to make changes and adjustments to this, Ji Ming really needed time to think. After a period of silence, Tian Yu's eyebrows stretched slightly, and he didn't answer Jia Xu's words and objected to his question.
"The matter is big, it must be reported to King Yan before it can be decided, our army used the battle of Qingzhou with the help of the four armies of Liaodong, Beiping, Hurricane, and Agni plus the iron cavalry battalion of the three generals, with the vision of King Yan and the ability of the generals of each army, the seven-day period should be enough." It was urgent to mobilize Zhang Liao's Yanyun army and Zhang He's Tiger Guard army to strengthen the defense of Hanzhong, and it could also be adjusted with the movements of Cao's army, so Jia, Guo, and Xi all felt that they could report to King Yan while doing it to seize the opportunity. However, the layout of the battle of Yanzhou was put forward as early as the time of the Beiping rally, and it has been continuously improved in the past two years, and the internal arrangements are extremely fine, and if you want to change it, you must get the approval of King Yan!
"Seven days...... The three military divisions, Tian Mou, can ensure that the materials of the various armies involved in this battle will be replenished to eight or nine tenths within seven days, and the remaining part can be replenished in the middle of the war. Tian Yu's expression became firm after a moment of hesitation when he heard this, and he said at the moment that this was a promise he made to the military advisor, and the rest of the war planning would be left to him to decide.
"Okay, since Ji Ming's words are more feasible to take Qingzhou first, Xi Mou should immediately write a book to report what was discussed tonight to King Yan, presumably at this time, King Yan and I are generally planning to deal with it, this matter should not be delayed, as for the transfer of soldiers and horses, we also require a fine method, once King Yan gives the order, we must do it quickly!" When Xi Zhicai heard this, he said categorically, and Guo and Jia also thought so.
With Xi Zhicai's understanding of King Yan, his words will not be wrong, after dinner in the evening, Liu Yi has been wandering among the forests and stones in the garden of the Thorn Mansion, the Shadow Man and Liu Liu and Liu Qi are all guarding each other, but they are at least ten zhang away from King Yan, when he is thinking about the battle situation, Liu Yi hates others to disturb his train of thought, how can the guards who have been with him for a long time not know? Looking at the figure of the Lord standing or sitting but not staying for too long, they all knew in their hearts that what King Yan was thinking about must be urgent, otherwise how could it be so with Liu Yi's calm decision?
From dinner until the fifth watch, Liu Yi did not stop thinking, at this time he was pacing on the corridor with his hands behind his back and the pool, the sky was unknown and far away, it was difficult for everyone to see what the look on King Yan's face was, but it was conceivable that his thick eyebrows must be wrinkled. At this time, Zilong also stood side by side with Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and waited for an hour, he knew more about the thoughts in his eldest brother's heart than these guards, and he never stopped thinking about how to deal with this situation in his heart.
is worthy of being regarded as a lifelong rival, Cao Mengde has a chance to turn the clouds and rain, he will never be willing to let the Yan army form an unshakable advantage before the war, and it is definitely not this person's style to wait for the opponent to make a mistake! But Cao Jun's strange plot made Liu Yi think about it and also aroused the infinite fighting spirit in his chest, the stronger the opponent, the more he must fight and win, the art of war is just a matter of improvisation, you can change the situation of the battle by surprise, why do I have to stick to the rules and remain the same? Nothing is lost on the battlefield, and the opportunity cannot be lost.
Hanzhong has a son to sit in the town, as long as he is given sufficient troops, even if he faces Cao Cao's presence in the Yan army, he has the ability to fight the enemy, and the key to affecting the entire battle situation is still on his own side, as long as he can make a powerful blow to Yanqing Erzhou, it can involve Cao Cao's great energy here, and his method of attacking Hanzhong to encircle Wei and save Zhao can be said to be the same! How to use troops to seize the opportunity while strengthening Hanzhong, after thinking hard about weighing and calculating repeatedly day and night, Liu Yi's eyes also fell on Qingzhou!
Watching King Yan turn around and walk towards the place where everyone was standing, Zhao Yun and everyone had a look on their faces, although it was still difficult to see Liu Yi's expression at this time, but when he looked at his steps and when he was pacing, it was very different, every step seemed calm and powerful, this is Liu Yi's confident performance, obviously King Yan has a way to deal with Cao Jun's moves, and such a confident Liu Yi can bring the most confidence to his command, and the demeanor of the first general who is powerful in the world can be seen in the battle array.
