Chapter 22 Two pieces of information
What is the most important difference between ancient people fighting wars and modern people fighting wars? Everyone may have a different point of view in their hearts, but for Zhao Yong at this moment, not being able to communicate instantly may be his biggest trouble. Because the people of Daijun had already gone to Yunzhong City to do business, they found that Lou Furen gathered here, because Zhao Yong could not act rashly, if it was Lou Furen's new stage of southward plundering, then he could be fully prepared to wait for work, but if the other party was just gathering in the clouds, then he would attack Yuanyang, and he would be dumpled by the other party, so the troops shuttled between the valleys of the Hui River, and there was no rush to march, the purpose was to listen to Lou Annoying's movements, so as to help Zhao Jun's next move.
On the other hand, the news that Lou was annoying in the clouds was not good news for Li Zhuo and Xu Yuan's troops who crossed Ningwu Pass and went west to Yuzhong. Because of the proximity of crossing the river from Yunzhong to Linhu's sphere of influence, the distance between Yunzhong and Yuanyang is about the same, or even shorter, so if you raid Linhu people at this time, it will inevitably lead Lou Annoying people to the south, so even if Li Zhuo and others have the ability to return to heaven, it is estimated that they will bury their bones in other places. What's more, that place is also a stone's throw away from the upper county of the Qin State.
In view of this, Zhao Yong and Li Zhuo agreed on a one-month period. Within a month, Zhao Yong led his troops to conquer Yuanyang, involving Lou's annoying troops to the north and leaving Yunzhong City; Li Zhuo and others led their troops to attack the Linhu people and drove them to the south bank of the river or to the west. If Zhao Yong could not capture Yuanyang on time, then Li Zhuo and others had to stay near the east bank of the river, build a wharf and prepare to cross the river, and at the same time, guard against the discovery of the Qin people.
Zhao Yong's timing was very clever, first, May and June are the dry season of the big river, the narrowest place is only three or four meters away, crossing the river at this distance, as long as the latent is appropriate, the success rate is very large. This is also the reason why Qin and Wei have fought for the land west of the river for fifty or sixty years, and have almost exhausted the elites of both sides. In fact, only by controlling the land west of the river can the Qin State be regarded as completing its own defense echelon, and it can develop itself with peace of mind and attack the six eastern countries. Second, at this time, I am afraid that the Qin State has not yet known the news that the Six Eastern Kingdoms are preparing to attack Hangu Pass, so the Qin State must not be strict in crossing the river on the big river, which gives Li Zhuo and others the opportunity to exploit the loopholes. And when Gongsun Yan and others started a war at Hangu Pass, the people of Zhao were able to calmly cross the river and retreat from near Yunzhong, and the people of Qin would never chase after them.
Conquering the Qin State has always been the most troublesome thing for the six eastern countries. Although many people say that taking the Cuihan Ancient Road is the fastest and most convenient way, it cannot be ignored that it is the most complex and difficult way; Either go to Nanyang and Shangyu in the Chu State, and enter the hinterland of the Qin State through the Wuguan Pass; Either it is like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Zhao Yong once watched, Zhuge Liang unswervingly went out of Qishan from the six and attacked Cao Wei; And the last one is to attack the Qin State by occupying Hexi, which is also the reason why Wei Wenhou tried every possible means to seize the land of Hexi.
As long as the land west of the river is in the hands of the six countries, and the Qin state loses the great river natural danger, then the army of the six countries can attack the hinterland of the Qin state through the land west of the river; In the same way, the Qin State occupied the land west of the river, and as long as the ferry on the Yellow River was held, it would be difficult for the troops of the six countries to attack the Qin state from the frontal of the land west of the river. Because of such a large-scale frontal defense, the scattered forces crossing the river were simply like chopping melons and vegetables for the Qin State.
And Li Zhuo and them are looking for a suitable place to cross the river, if they find it, then it will be a secret way to attack the upper county of Qin State in the future, if they can't find it, they can only honestly find a way to attack Qin State from other aspects.
"Alas, if there is a telephone, you can monitor Li Zhuo's movements all the time."
Although Niu Jian didn't know what a phone call was, he knew what Zhao Yong was worried about, so he relieved him: "You don't have to worry about Li Zhuo and others, although Li Zhuo is not clear in his heart, but Xu Yuan has been with the old man for more than ten years, he is meticulous in his thinking, decisive in encountering problems, and he is a first-class talent, Lao Cheng believes that he can help Li Zhuo deal with the sneak attack." ”
Zhao Yong said: "I hope it will be as we wish." Zhao Yong said and said to Niu Qian: "The general thinks that our army can conquer Yuanyang within a month?" ”
Niu Jian wrinkled his brows and pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to conquer Yuanyang. The difficulty lies in how to attract the annoying people of the building to carry out the decisive battle of the main force. Lao Chen has been in the grassland for nearly 20 years, and he followed the first candidate to conquer the Central Plains, and he knows that the biggest difference between the two is the purpose. The Central Plains countries, conquering the city is the ultimate goal, because with the city, in order to control the land, with the land, soldiers, grain and grass, taxes will be owned by the country, even if a battle fails, as long as it is not for the national war, the vitality will not be lost, he will make a comeback, it is not known. ”
"And the battle of the grassland, because the grassland people live in the grass, there is no fixed place, the so-called city, but only a soil city, no defense ability, with our army's war preparation conditions, it is easy to conquer. However, in the cities of the Hu people, there was neither a store of food nor a large number of soldiers stationed there, so it was dispensable. And if the casualties are too large, then the gains outweigh the losses for the Hu people, and they would rather not have this city. Without him, there are few soldiers. It is Yichen who has said many times that the most important thing in attacking the Hu people is to kill and injure the Hu people, not to conquer the city. ”
Zhao Yong nodded, "So what does the general think that Lou Annoying people gathered in the clouds to prepare to go north to crusade against the Huns?" Or do you stick to the clouds and wait for the Huns to come over? ”
"Of course, we are preparing to go north to crusade against the Huns, and the sooner the better?" Niu Jian said confidently.
"Soldier Gui Shen Speed?"
"After all, the Huns are outsiders, and they must be unfamiliar with the situation in Daqingshan, if they can give them a fatal blow while their foothold is not stable, then they will definitely be able to receive miraculous results; The most important thing is that Lou Yuan is ruthless and decisive, never delays, this time he suffered the loss of the Huns, according to the old minister's thoughts, he will definitely not stop there, the sooner he defeats the Huns, the sooner he saves face. ”
"What if the Huns are numerous?"
"Lou Furen's combat effectiveness has never been afraid of the Huns, not to mention, Lou Fu's joint Lin Hu, the number of people is also very considerable."
"If Lou annoys people to attack the Huns, won't our strategy of attracting the opponent's main force to fight a decisive battle be invalid?"
"Your Majesty. If Lou Furen goes to attack the Huns, the resistance of our army to attack Yuanyang will be much smaller, and we can use this as a base to gain a firm foothold on the grassland, and then Yunzhong and Jiuyuan can also be concocted one by one. ”
"I see, I've been taught."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
The two talked and exchanged combat skills. In fact, most of them were Zhao Yong who asked for advice, and Niu Jian replied. In the battle of Zhongshan, Zhao Yong just had some experience in fighting on the plains, and in this conversation with Niu Qian, he had a lot of experience in fighting with the grassland people, but the actual effect still has to be tested in reality. Just as the discussion between the two was in full swing, but when they heard that a messenger had sent important information, Zhao Yong took the bamboo slip, looked at it one or two, and handed it to Niu Jian next to him.
Niu Jian looked at it and said cautiously: "Could it be that the Huns and Lou are annoying?" ”
Zhao Yong frowned. There is not much content on the bamboo slips, the first thing is to say that I saw a Hun come to the city in the clouds, the purpose is unknown, but I saw them stranded in the clouds, and I didn't see the building annoying people to arrest them.
This matter is very strange, it is said that the Huns robbed the pasture of Lou Yuan, according to Lou Yuan's temperament, they will definitely not spare these people, not to mention that the other party still throws himself into the net, and there is no reason to salute first and then soldier. But the intelligence showed that the other party was not only unharmed, but also seemed to have a lot of feelings of seeing each other with Lou Yuan, which is worth playing.
Is it a reconciliation between the two sides? Or is there something else going on? This is unknown. If it is really a reconciliation between the two sides, if he goes to Yuanyang this time, he will face the siege of Lou Fu, Lin Hu and the Xiongnu, which is really bad luck; But if the army is withdrawn at this point, it will definitely suffer great damage to morale. What's more, this year, Gongsun Yan sent troops to attack the Qin State, which can involve the Qin State's attention to the northern border, if this opportunity is missed, it is difficult to say that there will be another chance?
Especially the second piece of information sent by Zhu Jian, which made Zhao Yong feel that the opportunity was not to be missed.
The second piece of information is very brief: there is a Wei envoy caravan crossing the clouds and entering the Yiqu.
It is not difficult to guess the meaning of this, the envoy of Wei pretended to be a caravan and passed through the clouds, but the destination was Yiqu. Gongsun Yan is not the kind of reckless person, and Wei Guo not only has to go through the checkpoint of Zhao State to do business in Yiqu, but also has to go through the checkpoint of Zhao State, and the attack of Sanhu, doing business in Yiqu may not be able to return with a full load.
Then the purpose of this team of Wei envoys is simple, combined with Gongsun Yan's preparation to attack Qin, and Yiqu happens to be behind Qin, if the two sides can cooperate, one frontal attack involves the main force of Qin, and the other goes south to Xianyang, then this Hangu Pass will definitely no longer be a difficulty, and the Six-Nation Alliance may really break through Hangu Pass.
In this way, even if Zhao Guo really crossed the river from Shangjun of Qin State and approached the Yuzhong region, Qin State would not do anything to Zhao State, and even said that if Zhao Yong was a little more radical and let Li Zhuo and others go south from Shangjun to Xianyang, it might not be impossible to do things! Three ways to attack Qin, two ways to the hinterland, even if the Qin State has the ability to reach the sky, it is estimated that it will also hurt the vitality.
How do you choose? Zhao Yong looked at the people and horses on the march and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
in the cloud.
In a simple guest house, several Huns guarded the door, and inside, a leader-like person sat down with a big grin, thinking about the scene of meeting Lou Yuan today, and couldn't help laughing.
Most of the people living in this guest house are people who do business in the Central Plains, and the Sanhu people also live, so it is very simple, and many things still retain the annoying habits of the building, which makes the Huns feel nondescript, he seems to remember something, and shouted to the door: "Bring her up." ”
After a while, the door was pushed open, and two Hun soldiers escorted this woman in, the woman's eyes were angry, and her mouth was whining and wanting to speak, but her mouth was gagged.
The man waved his hand to let the two Hun soldiers retreat, slowly walked in front of the woman, put his hand on the woman's face and chest, and said slowly with a lewd smile: "Even if you don't want to, it will still fall into my hands." ”
The woman is not a master to be messed with, and when she saw the other party walk in, she suddenly kicked at the other party, but she didn't expect the other party not only not to dodge, but to grab her legs, and said obscenely: "Why bother? Sooner or later, I'll make you stretch out your legs willingly. ”
The woman listened to him more and more obscenely, more and more angry, her face turned red, the man obviously had some pity, and took off the thing that gagged her mouth, and the woman suddenly said loudly: "Hu Yanba is stunned, if you don't let go of this second, this second and you are incompatible!" ”
