Chapter 441: The Battle of Merging States (2)

"Qi Qi Da Sima, our army's grain transportation team has been completely redressed in accordance with your instructions."

"Good, let's get started."

"No!"

In the past month or so, the fighting on the grasslands of Xihe County has been generally quiet.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Meng led the people of the headquarters to attack Meiji. Sure enough, he was ambushed by Liu Yuan, losing three or four thousand people, not to mention, and being chased by Liu Yuan all the way for hundreds of miles. If it weren't for the Han cavalry led by Wen Hu halfway through, it would have been impossible to say, and King Youxian would have been cold.

After Wen Hu and Liu Meng met, the two joined forces and fought a hard fight with Liu Yuan's cavalry when the strength was about the same. Thanks to the superiority of equipment, the Han army won, and Liu Yuan retreated from Meiji.

After that, Liu Yuan began to catch and seek with Wen Hu and Liu Meng on the Xihe grassland.

For such a situation, Liu Meng was very anxious, while Wen Hu was indifferent. Guan Yi has made it very clear that since Liu Yuan abandoned the ordinary clansmen to lead the elite cavalry into the grassland, the significance of the Han army's westward advance has been lost for most of it. Now the main strategic goal of the Han army has shifted: secretly move the troops to the vicinity of Jiexiu, and then force the Jin army to fight a decisive battle with similar terrain conditions!

It was not an easy task to transfer troops: the more than 200,000 Huns near Pingzhou County were not friendly to the Han army, and the Jin Dynasty's marching Cao had a lot of room to live here, and it was very convenient to move.

Guan Yi's method was: in multiple batches, let a small number of infantry go west in the name of supporting Wenhu. On the way, he completed the exchange with the Han army's grain transportation team, and the people's husbands walked west in soldiers' clothes - the 30,000 people of the Luliangshan detachment led by Zhao Yi in the west had already driven over. The safety of the people is not an issue. The soldiers who changed into the clothes of the people were scattered: Jin Cao was a very large organization, but in recent years, the national strength of the Jin State has declined, and Jin Cao's funds and personnel have been greatly limited. Their manpower was mainly to keep an eye on the main force of the Han army, and they paid little attention to the people.

What, you said that after the people put on the soldiers' clothes, what did the soldiers do? Hey, isn't it very simple to have grain on top of the grain truck and hide armor underneath?

Therefore, in the past month or so, Guan Yi didn't care about Wenhu's achievements in the Xihe grassland: he failed to reduce the Huns, and the Huns were still giving birth in a steady stream. Then except for the heads of Liu Bao's father and son, the heads of the other Hun cavalry are of little significance. During this time, his main energy was to personally arrange the transfer, concealment, and assembly of the 40,000 infantry on his side.

Of course, this is the main job, and there are some other things.

"How is the division of the Huns done now?"

"Da Sima." Geng Teng stood up with a happy face: "The results are outstanding. According to Da Sima's strategy, the rice porridge given to the left Xiongnu was much thicker, while the rice porridge of the central Xiongnu was basically clear water. Now, many of the Xiongnu in the central part of the country have secretly taken out the grain they hid...... Of course, these people's complaints about Liu Yuan's father and son are also getting bigger and bigger, and their sense of closeness to the right part is also getting stronger and stronger. ”

Liu Bao is the king of Zuoxian, and he is directly in charge of the left department. Because the Xiongnu have not been single in these years, King Zuoxian, who is similar to the crown prince in the concept of the Xiongnu, has the qualification to rule the central region. But in any case, it's just escrow. Strictly speaking, the Xiongnu in central China were not directly subordinate to King Zuoxian.

Now here's the problem: the leader of your left has to fight against the big Han, and he has taken away all the strong men in the tribe. Dumped us directly to the Han army. Yes, it is unlikely that the Han army will use a knife against us, but after all, there is such a danger, right?

This alone is very unpleasant, and it turns out that when it comes to the distribution of food. The people on your left have actually been treated! The reason? It is because of the plan of recruiting Liu Bao's father and son in the future after the Han is saved. This is really a bridge and paving the road without remains, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt! Why are we in the middle so miserable?

A month is not a long time, and it will take patience to see noticeable results. It's just that the seeds have been sown, and the rest of the things will naturally fall into place.

Besides, if the battle situation in the annexed states is completely decided, then the Huns will not pinch it as much as they want.

"Well, Director Meng (Huangfu Min), how is the battle situation in Youzhou now?"

"The battle report from the general yesterday, the two city lords of Guangning and Gaoliu have sent their own letters, and the city will be automatically opened after the siege of the city for 100 days. Youzhou's state seat in Jixian County has also been opened. It's just that the general of Gou Dao led some Youzhou light cavalry to constantly harass the general's grain road. In the past two months, our army has burned more than 400,000 stones, grain, and grass, and tens of thousands of guards and civilians have lost tens of thousands of people who transported grain. ”

"Hey! This Gou Dao general is really tenacious! ”

It can be said that Meng Guan handed over the most elite 10,000 Youzhou light cavalry to Gou Xi to lead, and he really chose the right person. This famous butcher on the historical plane was still very young at this time, and it was the time when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. His constant guerrilla attacks on the Great Plains of North China involved Jiang Wei very much.

"But it doesn't matter, that Gou Dao will be able to crisscross Youzhou, and the key is to get the support of the Youzhou family. As long as we win the battle on the side of the state, the family in Youzhou will no longer support him, then there will be no logistics supply, intelligence cover or anything. At that time, if he didn't withdraw his troops, he would only be captured and killed by the general. ”

"Yes, and judging from the end of the general, the result here has not come out, even if there is no Gou Dao general in Youzhou, there is no need for the general to go south to Jizhou all the way."

"That's right. So, what about the situation in Yizhou? ”

"It is reported that Wu Gou has sent troops, and the information received here by the last general was ten days ago. Anyway, the border counties have not found Wugou's brigade so far. ”

"Hey! It's really Wu Gou's usual style, don't worry about him. Where did the 30,000 people of Guowei go? ”

Because of the fear of the Jin State to play Cao's investigation, the right general led the army to the south along the Yellow River at the beginning, bypassing the Tongtian Mountain before turning to the northeast. The news that the last general had just received was three days ago, three days ago, General You's troops had arrived on the west bank of Fenshui and were about to advance along Fenshui towards Jiexiu. ”

"That's right." Guan Yi walked to the map and took the test for a while: "I can't wait." Meng Dao, the order went down, and our army moved to the troops near Jiexiu in batches in the previous period, and immediately began to concentrate. The location of the concentration is in Zhaoyuze, north of Jiexiu! This place is very close to Pingzhou, and the official will lead the personal guards to set off, and within three days, all these troops must be assembled! ”

"Da Sima, the transfer of our army has not yet been completed, and now there are only more than 30,000 people who can be quickly concentrated near Jiexiu. And the Jin army has more than 100,000 people under Jiexiu City! Isn't it a little too risky to do so? ”

"Hehe, how is it an adventure? Aren't the 30,000 people of Guowei on their way north? Besides, Huo Fangbo's father and son are not fools like Bu Zhongsi, when he sees this official fighting outside the city, he will sit in the city stupidly? ”

"Okay, then Da Sima, do you want to return to the 20,000 cavalry that Ji Wei took away?"

"No need, Meiji is not far from Wuyuan County, if Liu Yuan is ruthless, it is not a good thing to completely ignore the foundation and rush directly into Wuyuan County. So Ji Wei and Liu Meng continued to contain Liu Yuanhai on the grassland. ”

"No, the last general understands. Start scheduling today. Please rest assured that the rear team led by the last general will only be one day behind Da Sima's footsteps at most. ”

"Good! It's been almost nine months since May last year, and it's time for a big battle! ”
