Chapter 184: Target Tangshan!
After Han Shizhong took charge of Tianjin, whether it was in the recruitment of the army or the training of the sailors, Han Shizhong's purpose was very simple, that is, he wanted Tianjin to have the power of self-preservation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past few years, Han Shizhong has indeed done it, although the naval division was defeated by the Goryeo naval division, but Tianjin on land is at least relatively stable, although some bandits are rampant, but compared to foreign invaders, these bandits are not too big a problem, after all, the country and the family hate the family, and many bandits will also rise up to fight against foreign invaders.
Han Shizhong has the power to protect himself, but he has no strength to go abroad, whether it is Tangshan or Beiping, it is now in danger, Tianjin is next to these two counties, and it should have been the most suitable to send troops to help, but Han Shizhong has no soldiers in his hands, a total of 30,000 army soldiers, and he still needs to guard the entire Tianjin, how many soldiers can he send to help?
Just as Han Shizhong said, 15,000 soldiers is his limit, if there are more, he can't take it out, 15,000 people is indeed not a small number, if the two sides start a desperate struggle and stalemate, these 15,000 soldiers will become the overwhelming force of one party's victory, but if 15,000 people go to sneak attack the 100,000 intact army, this is not an easy thing.
In Han Shizhong's view, whether it is Jin or Liao, or Goryeo, they used to be vassal states of the Donglong Empire, although the Three Kingdoms Alliance is overwhelming, but Han Shizhong still does not attach much importance to the Three Kingdoms Alliance in his heart, he believes that the main reason why the Three Kingdoms Alliance can win again and again is the inaction of the imperial generals.
Han Shizhong considered the possibility of this plan in his heart, he thought that the current Three Kingdoms Alliance Army was already a proud army, so although he only had 15,000 soldiers, he still had the certainty of victory, as for the matter of Tianjin, he chose to forget, because he did not think that he would be defeated.
Some people may realize this, but in Tianjin, Han Shizhong is the authority and the generalissimo, even if there is an opinion, it is a question whether it will be raised, and even if it is raised, it is also a question whether it will be adopted by Han Shizhong, but if the person who raised this question has a higher position than Han Shizhong, then Han Shizhong has to think deeply.
"A certain general thinks that the chance of success in this battle is at least eighty percent!" Han Shizhong replied with difficulty.
"So what?" Liu Chen asked rhetorically, "Don't take risks until you have to, you have a county of imperial people behind you, you need to think about them!" ”
Han Shizhong was silent, what Liu Chen said was not wrong, he was the top defender of Tianjin no matter what, and he needed to be responsible for the entire Tianjin!
"I wonder if Master Hou has any good ideas?" Han Shizhong didn't speak, but Shangguan Jiannan on the side spoke, in this camp, only he could help Han Shizhong speak, although Liu Chen's words made sense, but as Han Shizhong's subordinate, Shangguan Jiannan had to do something for his subordinates.
Liu Chen got up, walked to the side of the roasted whole sheep, cut it with a dagger in his hand, and said without looking back: "Tangshan, go to Tangshan!" ”
"Why is that?" Shangguan Jiannan continued to ask, even Han Shizhong also looked at Liu Chen.
Cutting off a large piece of mutton, Liu Chen gave half of it to Han Shizhong's table, and said, "Do you think it is easier to deal with the 100,000 troops who are in battle, or the 40,000 troops who are in the midst of a fierce battle?" ”
No one speaks to these sons, because fools know the answer.
"There are only 40,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Tangshan, although the county town of Tangshan has fallen, but there are still many troops continuing to fight, they are sacrificing, and they are constantly consuming the strength of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, at this time we send troops to Tangshan, first, we will get the welcome and support of the Tangshan military and people, and secondly, we can also indirectly relieve the crisis in Beiping!" Liu Chen said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was thinking carefully, including Han Shizhong, who was also thinking about what the result of sending troops to Tangshan would be.
"Master Hou, Tangshan not only has 40,000 Triple Alliance troops, but also the same number of rebels, that is, we have to face 80,000 enemy troops, and we can get the support of the military and people in Tangshan, but what is the situation of indirectly relieving the crisis in Beiping City?" Han Shizhong asked puzzled.
A smile appeared on Liu Chen's face, looked at Han Shizhong, and said: "I have 10,000 soldiers, Marshal Han is sending 15,000 troops is 25,000 soldiers, in Tangshan, we will not fight alone, there are still the local army in Tangshan, as well as the people of Tangshan, we send troops, after all, they gather towards us, not to mention much, it should not be a problem to get together 20,000 or 30,000 people, the reason why the rebels are rebels is not that all the rebel soldiers must say that they are willing to mutiny, they are just a group of ordinary soldiers who obey orders, If we can persuade this part or half of the rebels to surrender, what is the enemy in Tangshan to fear? ”
"Moreover, in Hebei Province, there are a total of 200,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and I think the marshal also knows that the land area of the Three Kingdoms is very small, and the population base is not much, and these 200,000 people account for almost half of the troops of the three countries, if the enemy army in Tangshan suffers heavy losses, where do you say they will mobilize reinforcements from?"
Speaking of this, Liu Chen didn't continue to speak, but took a glass of wine and tasted it carefully, meat is good meat, wine is good wine, Liu Chen has been adrift at sea for a long time, and now he can feast on it, how can he not treat his stomach badly, right?
As Liu Chen slowly spoke, a glimmer of light flashed in Han Shizhong's eyes, and he said: "Beiping, they can only send reinforcements from Beiping, the battlefield of Zhangjiakou is extremely anxious, it is impossible for the enemy army to drop troops from there, and it is even more impossible to transfer troops from the mainland, because time is not available, the nearest place to transfer troops is only Beiping, Beiping has 100,000 troops, and now it is basically under siege, there is no large-scale war, so they will transfer troops from Beiping!" ”
Nodding, Liu Chen smiled and said, "I don't expect the enemy to transfer all the troops in Beiping, but if the defender of Beiping sees that part of the Three Kingdoms alliance forces besieging the city suddenly leaves, what will he think?" ”
"The old general Zong Ze is a famous general in the world, he has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, his grasp of the battle situation is very accurate, if the old general finds that the enemy army is gone, he will inevitably guess that there are reinforcements coming, he will be ready in the city, and the moment when the reinforcements arrive, it is also the moment when they break through the city, haha, I understand, Hou Ye is a good plan!" Han Shizhong said back, laughed, and when he looked at Liu Chen again, there was a trace of admiration in his eyes.
Liu Chen's ability to become a marquis shows to a certain extent that Liu Chen has the ability, plus the Han Army's naval division defeated the Goryeo Naval Division, and saw the Han soldiers with strict military discipline with his own eyes, Han Shizhong already admired Liu Chen very much in his heart, after all, it was not easy to be able to do this in just one year, but at this moment, Liu Chen's words made Han Shizhong admire Liu Chen even more, although Liu Chen was young, but he deserved the title of the Northern Marquis of this town!
"Hou Ye, the last general has a reluctant request, after the army under the command of the last general and Hou Ye's army meet, please also ask Hou Ye to take full command!" Han Shizhong raised his wine glass and said to Liu Chen with great sincerity. (To be continued.) )
