Chapter 269: The generals plan
In the big tent, it was very quiet, and all the generals were thinking about Liu Xuanyuan's words repeatedly, and similarly, they were also thinking about Hou Mingfeng's words, calculating the gains and losses brought by sending troops to Yanghe County.

At present, the Yan State is almost pouring out, and eighty percent of the army is in Hulin County, if any risky behavior must be carefully considered, otherwise, a misstep will cause eternal hatred, and the Yan State will not only be beaten back to its original form, but also may be annexed by the Jin State.
Therefore, no one in the sitting generals dares to underestimate the enemy.
Hou Mingfeng got up, also came to the sand table, looked at the terrain of Jindong on the sand table, carefully considered Liu Xuanyuan's suggestion, surprise troops, detour Yanghe County, and attack Jindong, Molin County, Baiyan County, Changfeng County, Nanling County, Fanchang County, Huaiyuan County, Guzhen County and other southern six counties, if you continue to expand eastward, capture Huoshan County, Wuhe County, Dangtu County three counties, you can directly approach the imperial capital of Jin, Jinyang City.
However, according to the deployment, before the main army of the Jin State is solved, it is absolutely impossible to besiege Jinyang City, so as not to force the Jin Kingdom into a dead corner and make a desperate bet.
In Hou Mingfeng's eyes, as far as the current situation is concerned, if nearly 100,000 cavalry are withdrawn and Zhao Hongru invades the southern Jin region, the Yan army, which was not superior in terms of strength, will be more and more at a disadvantage in the face of 500,000 Jin troops. If Wang Lunkey led the cavalry to rush out and strike a surprise blow, it would not take half a day for the Jin army to attack Shaoyang County and introduce the war into Yan State.
After several months, it is not easy to achieve results, the Yan army is currently difficult to maintain the offensive, and may therefore be on the defensive, militarily, it is extremely unfavorable to the army, and geographically, the ten counties in the west of Jin will also be under the front of the Jin army.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Hou Mingfengjue's Liu Xuanyuan plan was not perfect, but it was not without reference value.
Overall, the strategy is very adventurous, but it is currently the only way to take the initiative to send troops and capture territory.
Seeing that the generals were silent, Liu Xuanyuan sighed lightly: "This general has not thought about it like this, it's just that it is too bad to continue to besiege and not attack, or to attack but not win, and it is really bad to march from Yanghe County to the Jin Kingdom, although there are risks, but there will also be gains." ”
Liu Xuanyuan is known as the famous general of Yan State, not because of how many enemies he killed and how many feats he made, but because he started as a small soldier and did not die in a hundred battles, but became a member of the Yan Army.
Such a person who sent troops to the eunuch family, but also sat up with small soldiers, has both strategy and courage, is not afraid of taking risks, and does not care about gains and losses, the battle between Black Flag Pass and the Rong Nationality, with less than 50,000 recruits, blocked the 300,000 troops of the Rong Nationality, and finally, when the reinforcements arrived, he also skillfully changed his tactics and annihilated 70,000 or 80,000 enemies, I have to say that he is not a general without brains.
It is recommended to make a detour to Yanghe County, but also after many careful considerations, today's battle of Heyang City, he saw that the city of Heyang City is thick and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even though the Yan army is a hundred warriors, going forward to attack the city one after another, the casualties are not small, but there is no gain.
If we continue to fight in vain and fight to the death, it is better to find another way and choose other methods.
At this moment, Zhang Yu, who had been silent for a long time, slowly raised his head, and said in a calm tone: "General, since you want to encircle the Jin army, you must think of ways to block the other party in Heyang and other five cities.
At the same time, Lao Hou and I, General Tuoba, led 150,000 cavalry from Yanghe County into the eastern Jindong region, united with General Zhao, and vigorously attacked the land of eastern Jin, striving to sweep a large area of eastern Jindong before the end of summer, taking advantage of the Jin army's retreat to the five cities of Heyang.
If the Jin army comes back to help, he will try to annihilate it, and if the other party still can't defend the city, he will completely trap the Jin army in the five cities until the Jin State is destroyed, and he will not think of it. ”
Zhang Yu was angry, joined the army for two years, dozens of battles large and small, even the overlord of the grassland outside the Saiwai, the iron cavalry of Donghu Wangting, could not stop him from advancing, the year has passed, almost three months, but hundreds of thousands of troops have been blocked by the Jin army in Longlin County.
He felt aggrieved in his heart, and there was a kind of sadness that heroes were useless.
The plain, any vast land, is his battlefield, but unfortunately, the Jin army is not out of the city, not only the Jin army has no mobile advantage, but the Yan army's mobile advantage cannot be brought into play.
Liu Xuanyuan turned his head to look at Zhang Yu, and sighed secretly, the Jin army is very strategic, and even Zhang Yu is annoyed by being forced, and the soldiers of the three armies can imagine that if they rashly send troops or evacuate, I am afraid that they will fall into the hands of the other party. smiled and said: "General Zhang, don't be in a hurry, it's okay to trap the Jin army in the five cities of Heyang for two or three months, or longer, if you want to rely on the trench to trap the Jin army for a long time, it is absolutely impossible."
However, General Zhang, General Hou, you can rest assured, if the three generals go to the southern Jin region, I will definitely work with Hou Ye to try to hold the current Longlin County area, and never let the Jin cavalry advance half a step. ”
"Very good, then, I, General Hou and General Tuoba will reorganize the army and set off tomorrow night, the general and Lord Hou will send people to dig trenches, set traps, and set up ambushes, the Yan army will not attack, and the Jin army will not want to attack." Zhang Yu said, speaking of which, there was still a little anger in his heart.
"Okay, this matter is so decided, and this general will make it clear to the emperor." Liu Xuan said from afar.
"General, wait, the last general still has something to say" When the generals basically decided on the next strategy, next to him, Yang Fei, who had never spoken, finally spoke.
"Well, Vice General Yang, what do you have to say, say it" Liu Xuanyuan looked at Yang Fei and asked.
For this general who once held an important position in the Zhao army and came from the Li family, Liu Xuanyuan never ignored that the other party's position in the Zhao army was related to the important position of the Li family in the Zhao country, but it also required some ability.
He remembered, the second son of the Li family, Li Lin was the deputy general of Feng Zixiu, who was responsible for the military affairs of attacking the four counties of Bishan, and obtained good combat skills, the children of the Li family have real talent and real learning, Yang Fei is the son of the Li family, if he does not have real talent and practical learning, and the ability to use soldiers, I am afraid that not only will he not enter the Zhao army to hold important positions, but the Li family is afraid that he will not have a relationship with him.
Therefore, at this moment, Yang Fei's words, Liu Xuanyuan did not stop him.
"Instead of sending troops deep into the hinterland of eastern Jindong, why not pretend to evacuate, set up an ambush, and annihilate it." Yang Fei said.
In his eyes, the cavalry of the Yan army is absolutely superior to the Jin army, and the generals of the Jin State must not be able to defend the city, and they must see the gap between the two sides, and they are trying to make up for it, or find a suitable time to prepare to annihilate the main force of the Yan army in one battle.
But if you deliberately sell it to the Jin army to lure the other party out of the city
"General Yang, your suggestion, General Ben hasn't thought about it, do you understand Wang Lunkey, she is called a fox spirit, do you know why" Liu Xuanyuan's words jumped a little, but it had already been shown that Yang Fei's plan was not advisable.
Liu Xuanyuan has never been in contact with Wang Lunkey, but he knows that she is powerful, the reason why the other party is called a fox spirit, in addition to her beauty like a flower, can be called a stunner, is because of the other party's military cunning.
If the plan is not perfect, or the plan is flawed, it will not blind the other party, and she will not be fooled easily.
Liu Xuanyuan had already thought of a way to pretend to fail and lure the enemy out of the city, and personally led the team to implement it, but the Jin army was unmoved and still retreated into the city.
"General, at present, the Yan army is frivolous and impatient, the Jin army is cowering in the city, afraid of being more impatient, the previous general pretended to be defeated and retreated, did not succeed, just because the fire is not enough, today, March is a hard battle, the two sides have won and lost each other, but the Jin army has lost more and won less, and it is bound to need victory to stimulate the momentum of the soldiers of the three armies.
What's more, Wang Lun is indeed cunning, Mu Xiaotian may not be cunning, first defeated by Song Qi, and then defeated by Yan Jun, in the past two years, Mu Xiaotian has been depressed in his heart, I am afraid that he has reached a critical point, if there is a chance to reverse the decadent situation of the Jin army, he will not miss the opportunity. Yang Fei said.
Yang Fei's suggestion was not cutting-edge, but he grasped the mentality of both sides very well, hearing Yang Fei's suggestion, Liu Xuanyuan couldn't help but be a little moved, looked up at Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng asked: "Two generals, what do you think Vice General Yang suggests?"
"You can give it a try, whether it succeeds or not, it can't be delayed for a few days, if it succeeds, the general's strategy is still imperative, and the roundabout battle is currently stronger than a frontal conflict." Hou Ming sealed.
Zhang Yu didn't speak, but nodded silently, pretending to fail, luring the enemy to pursue, and only a few cavalry could be lured, and the Jin army would never come out with cavalry from the five cities, so Zhang Yu hoped to implement Liu Xuanyuan's plan more.
Ha Duong City
The generals of the Yan army were uncomfortable because of the slow progress of the war, and discussed the matter of sending troops.
Heyang City, the general of the Jin army, was not at ease in his heart, and he was also discussing the military situation.
At this moment, in the big tent, Wang Lunkey sat above, and Mu Xiaochen sat on the left and right, and more than ten deputy generals under Wang Lunkey's command, Gu Yue, Hou Ran, Liu Dashan and so on.
Unlike the Yan army generals who could not attack for a long time and were angry that they did not make an inch, the Jin army generals were angry, all because in the past few days, the Yan army chased the army from Shaoyang County to Longlin County, not only did not give up, but also continued to attack the city for several days, becoming more and more fierce, and today in the battle of Heyang City, the Jin army lost tens of thousands of people.
In the face of the defeat and retreat of the Jin army, the Yan army is pressing forward step by step, and it is strange that the generals are not annoyed
The generals sat down, the atmosphere was a little weird, or rather, a little-for-tat, Mu Xiaotian's generals and Wang Lun's key generals all showed the situation of the needle-to-wheat mang.
"General, the Yan army is too deceitful, pressing step by step, why do you still want to retreat in the five cities Today, the Yan army withdrew in advance, at that time, if you go out of the city to pursue, of course, you will gain a lot, but you will miss the opportunity." Mu Xiaotian's tone was slightly angry, and he said with an unhappy expression.
In the past two years, he had a bad year, first in the western Jin region and Song Qi fierce battles, the result was almost lost 100,000 troops, but also almost captured by the Song army, this year, and the Yan army fought hard, not only did not achieve victory, the cavalry under his command also suffered heavy losses.
What made him even more unhappy was that Wang Lunkey was obviously a female general, but his status in the army was far higher than him, among the hundreds of thousands of troops, he, a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, simply did not have much right to speak, and today he fought fiercely with the Yan army, and there were casualties on both sides.
