Will the Ruan army and the Mang army in Chu go north?

As the deputy marshal, Qian Fang sees more thoroughly than ordinary people.

In wars between countries, especially in wars involving many countries, the geographical layout of the army is particularly important, and he immediately understood the hidden worries.

At present, with the ability of the Xuanwu Legion, coupled with the government soldiers who came to support the surrounding area, it is barely able to compete with the million-strong army, and even with the help of the red-coated artillery in the first battle, it can play a better role, defeat the million-strong army on the opposite side, and win the strategic initiative.

If the Ruan army and the Mang army in Chu were allowed to move north, then the Xuanwu army would likely be attacked on its back, and even if the weapons were advanced, it seemed that it would be difficult to match the advantage in numbers and geographical location.

However, with the containment of the Blue Dragon Legion, it will take at least a few months to go north, right?

When the time comes, the number of redcoat cannons will be a little larger......

Overall, there are pros and cons.

This is Zhu Xi's idea.

Even if he felt that something was wrong, it would not help.

Because, this kind of strategic issue is no longer something he is worried about, His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away in the palace, has already discussed it clearly with the courtiers, this is a decision made by the Ministry of War, and it has nothing to do with him.

Even if he is the generalissimo of the First Army, at best, he can only write and admonish, and cannot make any decisions.

Moreover, the Xuanwu Legion and the Qilin Legion are also at the same level, and he does not have any right to instruct.

After staying on the hillside for a while, Zhu Xi and Qian returned to their tent.

This war is very important for the Xuanwu Legion.

Either win, repel a million-strong army, and then join forces with the Kirin Legion to wipe out the vanguard of the three nations.

When the land of Chu is stabilized, the Yun State is destroyed, and the red-coated cannons are generally equipped with all armies, it is the time for the counteroffensive of the Cang State.

In other words, it is the beginning of the Cangguo's fight against the weakened countries and the march towards reunification.

On October 4, the Xuanwu Corps was repaired.

At this time, it was already winter.

The land of Wangji is the most fertile place in the entire Dali Dynasty, and it is also the best place, it seems to be a natural center of the world, so the climate here is suitable all year round, even in winter, it rarely snows, and even if it snows, it will melt in a few days.

This kind of weather can be regarded as a favorable condition in winter warfare.

At least, that's what the two warring sides currently feel.

For example, the Ruan army dispatched a total of 30,000 cavalry this time, and if it snowed, the cavalry would not be able to move easily, and there would be no way to conduct large-scale battles in the snow.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will plummet.

The Xuanwu Legion was opened, which naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding armies, and the situation shook violently, and all armies and departments urgently opened and rushed to the surroundings of Licheng.

Because it occupied several small cities around Licheng, the Wei army naturally did not want to bear the brunt of the attack, and directly ordered the defenders stationed in several small cities in the east of Licheng to withdraw.

This is equivalent to the fact that because of the careful thinking of the three enemy armies, the Xuanwu Legion directly occupied several small cities near the periphery of Licheng without much effort and without a single soldier, which is equivalent to directly relieving the siege of Licheng.

On the sixth day of October, the Xuanwu Legion sent 20,000 soldiers to Licheng.

None of the three enemy armies wanted to unilaterally fight with the Xuanwu Legion first, so naturally no one stopped them outside Licheng.

Upon learning of this situation, Gongsun Zhi, the general of the Wei army, was speechless for a long time.

The army of the Three Kingdoms, although there are millions of people, is comparable to the Battle of the Jin Dynasty in terms of scale, and it looks very strong, but in fact, it is simply separate battalions, and there is no unified scheduling, which is far from the Battle of the Jin Dynasty.

For example, the cities lost by the Wei army, if there was a unified dispatch, how could they be in today's situation?

If the three kingdoms form an alliance and hand it over to him to lead alone, then there will definitely be a tough battle today, and they will defend the pass and use it as a base to confront the Xuanwu Legion.

But now, not only did he give a few strongholds to the Xuanwu Legion in vain, but he also lost the thing in the bag of Licheng, so that the Xuanwu Legion could defend the pass, which was like a tiger with wings.

"No, it can't go on like this."

Gongsun Zhi paced in the camp, and then wrote a few secret letters to send them to the camp of the Ruan army and the Jin army.

……

Nguyen army camp.

After Ruan Funing read the letter, he was speechless for a long time.

Because in the letter, Gongsun stopped talking about it, let the armies of the three countries form a coalition army, unify the dispatch, and then take the initiative to attack against the Xuanwu Army.

Ruan Funing fell into deep thought.

At the beginning, during the first battle of the Jin Dynasty, he still knew Gongsun Zhi very well.

There is nothing to say about the ability to command the troops, or on fairness and justice.

However, at this time and at that time, there are now only three armies in total, and if they are formed into a coalition army, it will inevitably be biased.

When the time comes, if the army of Nguyen Quoc is not good, it may suffer.

But if you command the army yourself...... This may be almost none, because even Soft Fu Ning himself knows his own catties, and the commander of Ruan Guo's own dozens of armies still needs the assistance of a few strategists and generals, if he commands the armies of the three countries, it is estimated that this battle will not have to be fought, and there seems to be no possibility of winning.

However, if Gongsun was not allowed to command the army and be replaced by Tang Mu, the general of the Jin army, he was not at ease.

Non-alignment is even more impossible, because during this time, even he himself is like a headless fly, not only wanting to thwart the Xuanwu Legion, but also not wanting to pay a greater price than the other two countries, and even wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman......

From the overall situation, it seems that only by forming a coalition can the Xuanwu Legion pose a threat, otherwise, it is very likely that it will be self-defeating, and it will collapse first if it is afraid of each other and retreat from each other.

Ruan Funing knows very well that there are millions of people in his three armies, but if they fight separately, consume internally, and constantly miss opportunities, then in the face of the powerful Xuanwu Army, there is no chance of winning at all.

After forming a coalition, they will not be like now, like headless flies, working around blindly.

……

At the same time, in the camp of the Jin army.

Tang Mu also held the letter in his hand and paced around the shogunate, next to several henchmen and generals.

His thoughts are similar to Ruan Funing's, but there is one more layer, that is, whether Wei Jun will take the opportunity to retaliate.

The crusade against Wei that year caused the Wei State to collapse, and not long ago, it hastily withdrew its troops, which made the Wei army pay a huge price, and fell short......

If the new hatred and old hatred are combined, he is very worried that Gongsun Zhi will declare his personal vendetta, and the commander of a coalition army wants a chance to take revenge, it is simply simple, such as arranging the Jin army in front of the battle, being the vanguard team, or transferring to attack the insurmountable city, or even directly letting the Jin army go to the main force of the Xuanwu Legion......
