Chapter 18: The Reason for Qin's Attack on Shangdang County!
"Lin Fan, didn't you expect that I would bring you here?" The county guard Feng Ting looked at Lin Fan and smiled slightly.
"I didn't expect it." Lin Fan said, and then looked at the county guard Feng Ting, "Lord Feng, if you ask me to come here, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as rewarding me." ”
"Indeed, the reward is indispensable to you, but I am a little worried now, although our main battle faction defeated the surrender faction, it does not mean that our main battle faction will be able to hold Shangdang County. So, I'd like to talk to you about it. The county guard Feng Ting looked at Lin Fan with an expectant look in his eyes, "You have turned the entire battle tide with the power of one person, since you are the main battle, what can you do to keep Shangdang County?" ”
"Lord Feng, actually, I can't do anything." Lin Fan said.
"Oh." There was a look of disappointment on the face of the county guard Feng Ting, he still thought that Lin Fan would have a way.
"However, I can analyze the situation for you, and as for what to do, it's up to you." Lin Fan said that he knew that he couldn't make a suggestion now, otherwise, when the time came, he would have to take the blame, he didn't want to be charged with being hunted down, and now that Shangdang County was in crisis, his life would be in danger at any time, he needed to be cautious.
Listening to Lin Fan's words, a look of expectation appeared on the face of the county guard Feng Ting, "I would like to hear about it." ”
"Lord Feng, do you know why the Qin State attacked Shangdang County?" Lin Fan asked.
"I don't know." The county guard Feng Ting said, and then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Lin Fan, you know?" ”
"Lord Feng, please bring the map, and I'll analyze it for you." Lin Fan said.
"Okay, you wait." The county guard Feng Ting said, he walked out of the quiet room and brought a map over.
"Master Feng, you're optimistic." Lin Fan said, and then he spread the map on the table, "The Qin State attacked Shangdang County to take Shangdang County and then attack the Central Plains. ”
"Central Plains?" The county guard Feng Ting asked puzzled.
"It's this area, it's not like the Central Plains, it's like the middle of the area, so it's called the Central Plains area." Lin Fan said that he circled the map of the area that was called by later generations, and after his explanation, Feng Ting also understood a rough idea, because he also understood what Lin Fan explained, how to say that he is also the county guard of a county in South Korea, and those who can do the county guard are not simple people.
"In addition to Shangdang County, there are two roads in the Qin State, so why did the Qin State choose not other roads, such as this area, along the road to Jinyang in the north to attack Jinyang, this Jinyang is also in the Central Plains. This road, in fact, does not work.
Because Jinyang is the first capital of Zhao and a hero city of Zhao.
Before the separation of the Three Jin Dynasty, Zhao Xiangzi, the founding monarch of Zhao in the Battle of Jinyang, resisted the Zhi clan, the Han clan, and the Wei clan for three years by virtue of Jinyang City.
Even the Fenshui irrigation that was broken was not overcome, which shows the strength of his defense, Jinyang is embedded in the mountains on both sides, this is the perfect terrain, and the real one man is not open. ”
Lin Fan said that he knew this route, and at the same time, he also knew why the Qin State attacked Shangdang County, so it was not difficult to analyze.
"What kind of husband should be closed?" The county guard Feng Ting asked, he understood a general idea, but he didn't know it very well.
Listening to the words of the county guard Feng Ting, Lin Fan suddenly remembered that this husband should be a pass for ten thousand people and Mo Kai was from Li Bai's "Shu Dao Difficulty" in the later Tang Dynasty, "The Sword Pavilion is magnificent and mighty, one husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open", Lin Fan felt that he needed to explain.
"Lord Feng, look at this terrain, is it difficult for ten thousand people to defend there alone?"
"Well, when you say that, I understand." The county guard Feng Ting nodded and said, "This place really looks like a one-man affair. ”
"Yes, so, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, extremely difficult to capture, the battle lies in a quick victory, if it drags on for a long time, it may fall into the quagmire of war, logistics can not keep up, it is quite a drain on national strength.
Moreover, if the Qin State attacked Jinyang, the Zhao army in the Shangdang area took the opportunity to attack the Houma of the Qin State, this place is the backyard of the Qin State, if there is a fire here, the Qin State may not be able to put out the fire, and the Zhao Army has been continuously increasing since the Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, and it is claimed to be comparable to the Qin army, and the combat effectiveness is very strong.
At that time, the logistics of the Qin State will not be able to keep up, and Jinyang will not be able to attack it for a while and a half, then the Qin State may be in danger, in addition to the Zhao State, there are five of the seven countries, and when the time comes, it is not impossible for the five countries to rise up and attack the Qin State. ”
Lin Fan said, what he said was the Tao, and made the county guard Feng Ting nod constantly, "Well, in this way, the Qin State will not choose this path." ”
"In addition to attacking Shangdang County and entering the Central Plains, the Qin State has another way to choose, and that is this one."
Lin Fan pointed to the map, "Follow the passage between the Yellow River and Wangwu Mountain into the Central Plains. But is it possible? It is obviously not feasible, why, because the passage is a long and narrow ribbon corridor with mountains to the north and the Yellow River to the south. Seeing this, Master Feng, what do you think of? Is it the battle of Qin Jinkun? ”
"Yes, the battlefield is between the Kunshan Mountain and the Yellow River, and the Qin State wanted to attack the Zheng State through here at that time, but it was completely annihilated by the Jin army ambushed here, and the Qin army suffered heavy losses at that time." Military advisor Feng Ting said.
"By the way, this example is from the front. If the Qin State dared to enter the Central Plains from here, then the Zhao State could pass through the Taihang Mountain or the nearby mountains at any time, outflank the Qin army in a roundabout way, unite with the Zheng army to surround the Qin army, and completely destroy the Qin army at any time. Therefore, after a lesson, the Qin army will not continue to attack here. Lin Fan said, he pointed to the Shangdang County area.
"Those two roads won't work, so the Qin army can only attack Shangdang County. This is also the reason why the Qin army attacked Shangdang County. ”
"Oh, I see." The county guard Feng Ting's eyes showed a look of sudden realization.
"And in fact, before Qin Guo came here, he also fought with Zhao Guo for a while, that is, the battle of Yan and He, it was fought by Qin Jun and Zhao General Zhao Hao, and defeated Yu Zhao Hao at that time, it was really a narrow road when the brave won." Lin Fan sighed.
"You will ask, why did the Qin army attack Shangdang County blatantly and openly." Lin Fan said.
"Indeed, I have this question." Feng Ting said.
"Actually, that's because the Qin army crippled the Wei army and the Han army, and now they can't be replaced, so the Qin army dares to come over openly." Lin Fan knocked on the table and said.
"Yes, listening to you say this, I also understand why the national capital Xinshen gave up Shangdang County, it is because of the problem of national strength." The county guard Feng Ting sighed and said, if it weren't for South Korea's weak national strength, South Korea would not have given up Shangdang County.
"Lord Feng doesn't blame himself, this is actually determined by the trend, and you can't change anything, what you can do is how to decide the trend of Shangdang County." Lin Fan comforted the county guard Feng Tingdao.
"Then what is the benefit of the Qin army's attack on Shangdang County?" The county guard Feng Ting asked.
"That's a lot of benefits." Lin Fan pointed to the map and continued, "Attack Wei from the east without worrying about Zhao's attack. Lin Fan knew that it was possible to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State, from Fukou, but in fact, in the later Battle of Changping, Qin State chose this path, so the very famous Battle of Handan also broke out.
And the Battle of Changping, that was also a legendary battle, the generals of Qin and Zhao who participated in the Battle of Changping were very famous.
