Chapter 577: Li Jing's Means
"I just arrived, and I don't know much about the deployment of Yuan's troops in the Taihang Mountain, and I asked Wang Tingshi to explain to me the stationing of Yuan's troops in Taihang Mountain, and I can prescribe the right medicine!" Li Jing pleaded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wang Meng nodded, pointed to the map and said, "Pharmacist, look, the Taihang Mountain is crossed between the secluded and the road, and there are only a few dangerous passes to go." They are the two major dangerous passes of Taihang Mountain, Huguan and Jingjing Pass, one south and one north, of which Huguan is in the south, in the territory of Shangdang in my and state, and Jingjing Pass is in the territory of Zhao in the north of Jizhou!
Yuan Shao's defense in Taihang Mountain, also based on this two passes, Zhang Yan's subordinates Sun Qing, Wang Dang and the two led 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the area of Jingjing Pass, relying on the steepness of Jingjing Pass to set up defensive camps everywhere, and all checkpoints are strictly guarded, and flies are difficult to fly over one. In the area east of Huguan, Zhang Yan personally led 5,000 troops, stationed in various steep places in the mountains east of Huguan, which was also heavily guarded. ā
"This Zhang Yan is really cunning and cunning, because I am in the mainland and there is a danger in Huguan, there are generally no soldiers and horses stationed in the party. However, he was personally stationed in Huguan, a place where our army's strength is weak, obviously to prevent our army from entering Jizhou from Huguan! Li Jing stroked his beard and said with a heavy face.
Wang Meng smiled and asked, "How is it, in the face of such an opponent, your strange army is not easy to use, right?"
Li Jing nodded solemnly, looked at the map and said, "Now I don't have many soldiers and horses in the state, and I can use about 10,000 people at most." It is even more difficult to rely on these 10,000 people to attack Jizhou and make achievements, so as to achieve the goal of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. But it was precisely because I thought that I had too few soldiers and horses, and Jizhou had the steepness of Taihang Mountain, so Yuan Shao also took it lightly, so there were strange soldiers available.
Ignoring the defense of Taihang Mountain for the time being, if you use strange soldiers, there are two roads to go through and Huguan to pass, so there are two completely different strategies. ā
"I want to hear about it!" Wang Meng listened carefully.
Li Jing pointed to the map and said: "First, it is to send troops to Jingjing Pass, and after entering the Zhao State, attack the Xindu area to the north. Zhang He's 30,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in this area to defend Xue Dudu, who was in Youzhou. If our army goes to attack the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang He in northern Hebei, and General Xue Rengui will attack Zhang He's soldiers and horses in the south and north. If he can destroy Zhang He's 30,000 soldiers and horses, then Yuan Shao will lose the northern part of Jizhou, such a big loss, he will definitely have to return to the army to rescue, so the danger of Qingzhou will be solved! ā
Wang Meng stared at the map, his eyes unpredictable, and finally shook his head and said, "This result can indeed force Yuan Shao's entire army to retreat. But it is too dangerous, ignoring the defense of Taihang Mountain, and I can only send 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack, Zhang He is very cautious. After our army entered Jizhou, there was no supply of grain and grass, and it was impossible to use this 10,000 soldiers and horses to cooperate with General Xue Rengui's small number of cavalry to destroy Zhang He, and the cooperation of the two armies in joint operations, the transmission of news was also a big problem! ā
"Strange soldiers, naturally in danger!" Li Jing smiled and couldn't deny it, and continued: "This second strategy is naturally to send troops through Huguan, and after the soldiers and horses come out of Huguan, they will directly take Yecheng, the Jizhou Governance Office, and break Yuan Shao's lair. As long as Yecheng is broken, Yuan Shao will naturally be able to retreat! ā
cooperated with Xue Rengui to destroy Zhang He and break through Yecheng, these two strategies are extremely simple in Li Jing's mouth. But the top priority at the moment is the steepness of the Taihang Mountain in front of him, but Li Jing did not worry about it at all, and said it extremely easily.
Wang Meng heard what Li Jing said so easily, he only felt that Li Jing was a scholarly spirit, and couldn't help but pour cold water: "General Li said it easily, but it can be known that the Taihang Mountain in front of him is a moat, whether it is to attack Zhang He or Yecheng, it is necessary to pass through the Taihang Mountain, and please face the current situation, don't talk about it on paper, think about the predicament in front of you."
As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the Black Mountain Army under Zhang Yan is mixed with the Taihang Mountain, and the terrain of the Taihang Mountain is too familiar to be familiar with it. And Zhang Yan is also cunning and steady, and the soldiers and horses guard the passes of various departments, and the defense is tight, so it can be said that there are no flaws.
Such a place cannot be easily conquered by wisdom or strength. Even Zhuge Liang was in a place like Chencang, wasn't he also stopped by Hao Zhao with a small county town? That's not because of how powerful Hao Zhao is, on the contrary, Hao Zhao doesn't have many soldiers and horses, only a few thousand, while Zhuge Liang has tens of thousands of troops. The reason why it could not be attacked was because the terrain in front of Chen Cangcheng was narrow, and although Zhuge Liang had many soldiers and horses, he could not accommodate many soldiers and horses to attack the city at one time. Therefore, Hao Zhao relied on this advantage to defend Chen Cang.
The Taihang Mountain barrier that Wang Meng encountered in front of him was the same reason as Zhuge Liang's attack on Chen Cang. There is no place to use the strength, not to mention the strength of the state, which does not necessarily have the strength and strength.
"Indeed, the steepness of Taihang Mountain, coupled with the defense of the Montenegrin army, is to give me 100,000 troops to attack, and I can't defeat it. However, the internal forces of Jizhou are unstable, and I can start from within Jizhou to disintegrate the defense of the Montenegrin Army! Li Jing didn't care about Wang Meng's questioning at all, and replied with a smile.
Wang Meng suddenly thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "I forgot that the Black Mountain Army just defected to Yuan Shao, so you plan to use a divisive strategy?"
Li Jing nodded and said: "Before I came, Your Majesty had already ordered Jinyiwei to walk in Jizhou to spread rumors and divide the relationship between Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao, next, I just need to set fire to the defense of Taihang Mountain and put on a show!"
"Set fire? Acting? ā
"I also asked Wang Thorn Shi to prepare some money and gifts, and I was looking for some treacherous and useless people, and went to Jingjing Guan Sun Qing and Wang Dang's place to give gifts. If they don't accept it, or drive or kill, they must continue to give it, and the gift will be more valuable than the last! Li Jing pleaded.
The Montenegrin army is very lethal, as the saying goes, two soldiers fight, and they don't kill them, but they may not work in front of the Montenegrin army, so Li Jing asked to use cunning and useless officials to do this kind of thing. lest the lives of the faithful be wasted.
"There are treacherous people, and I can afford gifts, but do you want to give gifts to bribe Sun Qing, Wang Dang and others, so that Yuan Shao will be suspicious in order to achieve the purpose of changing generals in battle? So why not bribe Zhang Yan? After all, the interior of Jizhou is now unfavorable to Zhang Yan. Sun Qing is in Jingjingguan, you pour dirty water on them, do you really want to send troops to attack Zhang He? And what if Sun Qing is light, what if they are gifted? What do you do? Wang Meng frowned, and said several doubts in a row.
Li Jing replied with a smile: "Fiction and reality can make Yuan Shao confused, now that Yuan Shao's army has gathered in the plain and has not yet attacked Qingzhou, this time can be used to divide the situation, and it can also give me more time to analyze the situation." Whether to send troops from Huguan or from Jingjing Pass depends on Yuan Shao's movements! I don't dare to make conclusions easily, as for Sun Qing, he has followed Zhang Yan for many years, has a high prestige in the Montenegrin army, and his family is small and in Jizhou. will not abandon Montenegro and join our army. If he accepts gifts, he will definitely tempt our army, and he is ambushing and killing them. In this way, I can also calculate his life, and just take this opportunity to send troops from Huguan! ā
Wang Meng nodded and said: "Okay, I'll do these things, I'm afraid that this battle will only last a few months, so there's really no need to be in a hurry, it's better to be cautious." But what about acting? ā
"Naturally, let my soldiers meet me, the commander who replaced General Li! Would you like to ask Wang Tingshi to introduce me? ā
"Please come with me, it's just that General Li Xianzhong has a very high prestige in the army, and Gao Shun and the other three generals are training in the mountains with ape-armed climbers selected by themselves in the army, and they are not in the army. The rest of the generals are all quite old, except for generals such as Yang Zaixing, who followed His Majesty at the earliest, I am afraid that no one can suppress them. If you go, they're going to give you a dismount, so you have to be careful! Wang Meng took Li Jing to the military camp outside the city, and at the same time told Li Jing about the affairs in the army.
"Dismount? Coincidentally, I'm going to give them a dismount this time! Li Jing said with a smile.
Listening to Li Jing's words, Wang Meng frowned, but he was immediately relieved, and secretly said that this Li Jing was really unfathomable, and even he couldn't easily see through Li Jing's thoughts.
When he came to the military camp outside the city, Li Jing saw that the camp was established in a fairly orderly manner, with soldiers patrolling all around, and the soldiers in the barracks training and shouting to kill the sky. Li Jing shook his head helplessly and said: "This is a strong army, General Li Xianzhong doesn't know how much effort he has spent, and now Li has to fight against this group of soldiers, so I feel uneasy." But in the future, Li will definitely repay today's debt with his military exploits! ā
The corners of Wang Meng's mouth hooked, understood Li Jing's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Then Wang will wait and see!"
Li Jingbian walked towards the barracks, and pleaded to Wang Meng: "Wang Tingshi, Taiyuan Shangdang can be said to be the richest place in Bingzhou, and it has been stable for seven or eight years, so it can be said that it has a profound heritage. According to the average county, it can only support 10,000 troops, but these two counties can still squeeze out more, right? Please raise as much food and grass for me in these two counties, as much as possible! ā
Wang Meng gritted his teeth and said: "In addition to the resettlement of the Hu people themselves in various places, Taiyuan, the materials of the party will never be hidden!"
"Thank you very much!"
The two came to the barracks and boarded the general platform, Wang Meng summoned a captain and introduced: "This is General Li Jing who succeeded General Xianzhong, Li Jing, you go and gather the generals of the whole army and come to see the general!"
The lieutenant glanced at Li Jing, and saw that although Li Jing had changed into armor, it was difficult to hide the bookish anger on his body. Today's Li Jing only has the ability of Li Jing, the peak of history, but he does not have the kind of killing spirit that will kill for many years. Originally, this lieutenant was a little dissatisfied with Li Jing's appointment, but now when he saw Li Jing's appearance, he was even more sluggish. However, Wang Meng was beside him, and the lieutenant was not easy to attack, so he honestly went to beat the drum to summon the general.
