Chapter 108: The Old Trick Repeated
Lingzhou City was built at the place where the Lingzhou River joins the Yellow River, like a sandbar in the Yellow River, but it will not be flooded by the river, as if it has aura, so it is called Lingzhou. This is the southern gate of the hinterland of the party, the surrounding land is fertile, since the Han Dynasty has dug many ditches, diverted the water of the Yellow River to irrigate the farmland, to the rich land.
Yuan Hao sat in the hall and said to Ye Liyu in front of him: "A few years ago, you said that there were not many soldiers and horses in Qinzhou, and even if Yu Zanghua Ma Nan could not make great achievements, he would be able to harass him, so that Qinzhou would not be able to go north for a few years." How did it come to the end, and many soldiers and horses were broken? ”
Ye Liyu sighed: "It's just that Yu Zanghua Ma is not good at doing things, and he leaked out of the army before he went out, and he was ambushed by the Song army of Qinzhou in Sanduchuan early, and he was caught off guard." Now all the Tibetan tribes under the control of Yuzang Hua Ma are not in the Song realm, which is quite unfavorable. ”
"No one says in the art of war, you have to know yourself and your opponent in order to win a hundred battles! You attack Qinzhou this time, and you don't know anything about their arrangement, where can you still get benefits! This time, we won a big victory in Yanzhou and captured the two generals of the Song State, and it was just the time to be prestigious, and you lost a game here, which is really unlucky! Tell me, can you lead the troops to fight the Song army by surprise and turn the situation back? Dang Xiang stared at a pair of eyes, looking at Yeli Yuqi with fierce eyes.
Ye Li shook his head angrily: "It's already February, and it's difficult to recruit soldiers and horses. The Song army occupied the new city of Xishi, and it was not an overnight matter to attack the key points there. If you want to fight in Qinzhou, it will be too late this year anyway. ”
"You have a point, it is indeed difficult to recruit an army this year, and there should be no more major wars. Lanzhou can't be beaten there, so what about Chuancheng? The Song army occupies there, and can go down the river to attack Huizhou at any time, so it is deeply worrying, it is better for us to take it back! ”
"The Xishou Prison Military Division folded nearly 10,000 horses a year ago, although it has been replenished, but the grain and grass are not sufficient. If they send troops again, it will be difficult for them to support it. And I heard that the Song army had nearly 10,000 people in Huichuan, and it was not easy to fight. ”
Yuan Hao's eyes widened: "That small city, how can there be nearly 10,000 horses!" With so many troops stationed, where did their food and grass come from? Even if all the soldiers in Qinzhou go to transport grain, they can't supply so many troops, so this matter is impossible! ”
"Your Majesty, there are really so many troops there, and I have sent people to investigate several times, and this matter is absolutely true. Grain and grass were transported from Qinzhou to the Western Envoy City, and then transported from the Western Envoy City along the Guanchuan waterway to Huichuan City, and it did not take a lot of manpower. ”
Yuan Hao's face was gloomy and he didn't speak for a while.
Nearly 10,000 Song troops defended the city, although they were not the elite of the forbidden army that they fought a few days ago, nor were they just 10,000 or 20,000 party troops who could beat them. And concentrating an army of fifty or sixty thousand to attack such a place, no matter how crazy Yuan Hao is, he can't do such a thing. The most troublesome thing is that Qin Feng Road is different from the other roads, not every fortress is garrisoned to defend, but most of the fortresses are abandoned, and only a few key places are concentrated. The magic weapon of the party's combat is to concentrate the absolute superiority of troops several times that of the enemy, and suddenly attack a certain part of the Song army, which comes and goes like the wind, making people scratch their heads. In Qinfeng Road, this kind of tactic is not used, if you want to fight, it is a decisive battle of the heavy army group, and it is also a siege, and the ability of the party army to attack the city Yuan Hao can't count on it.
After pondering for a long time, Yuan Hao suddenly raised his head and said to Ye Liyu: "To attack the walled city guarded by 10,000 people, the risk is too great, but if I don't win a battle on Qinfeng Road, the anger in my chest is hard to calm!" You say, what if we send a light army to cut off the grain route of Huichuan? If he succeeds, the Song army in Huichuan will panic, and he may not be able to find an opportunity! ”
Ye Li Yu begged for a while and said: "Guanchuan is in the mountains, and the only way to cut off the grain road there is a small road from the Rusha Valley into the mountains. And now that the Rusha Valley is guarded by the army of the Song Kingdom, it is really not easy to pass through there. ”
Yuan Hao's gloomy face suddenly smiled: "Of course it's not easy to attack them head-on, but if you want to mix thousands of people in, can you still do it?" The Song people are greedy for merit, we might as well let some soldiers pretend to be Fanbu, go to them to deceive and surrender, and when there are more people, kill them from inside, what can they do? Li Shibin of Jinmingzhai is known as the 'Iron Wall Minister', and I used this method to lay down there without waste. No matter how strong the guards of the Rusha Valley are, can they be stronger than the 'Iron Wall Minister'? ”
Hearing this, Ye Liyu begged for joy: "Your Majesty's plan is feasible?" The area around Xishi New Town was originally inhabited by the Tibetan tribe of Hexi Niche Valley, and most of the Tibetan tribes fled there after we occupied it. Recently, the Song army recruited people there, and indeed many of the Tibetan tribes moved back, and it was not abrupt for us to send people to surrender by fraud. - In fact, there is no need to deceive and surrender, as long as you pretend to be the Fan Department in other places, and the Song people will naturally take it in when you get there. When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, and maybe the valley of the rusha will be brought down. Occupying the Rusha Valley, it will be convenient to fight with the Song army in autumn and winter, and there is no need to attack the fortified city. Your Majesty's plan is brilliant! The Song army was categorically defenseless! ”
Yuan Hao was overjoyed: "You say this plan is feasible? If you succeed, you will be credited! ”
"The beauty of this plan is that the Song people were originally recruiting the Tibetan Ministry, and now in the spring, some people go to help reclaim the wasteland, they are naturally happy, and they don't want to make people suspicious. As soon as Your Majesty mentioned it, I was stunned, why didn't I think of it before? ”
"Okay, good, good, you go and arrange it quickly! I took my army to Zoro and Nan, and as soon as I conquered the valley of Rusha, I led the army to loot that area! There are no households, I see how Song Jun can stay there! ”
Ye Liyu hurriedly said: "This matter is not urgent, it should be arranged calmly." Lanzhou is on the edge of the Yellow River, and once the back road is blocked by the Song army, it will be difficult to escape. We lost badly in Sanduchuan, that is, we were blocked in the valley by the Song army, we can't make this mistake again! ”
"I led the army in Zhuoluo and Nan, what can the Song army do to me? They lack horses, just let them chase, and where can they catch up! ”
"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of horses in Qinzhou, they beat Yuzang Huama a year ago and seized countless pieces. You are a daughter, so don't get too close to them to avoid accidents. ”
Yuan Hao laughed when he heard this: "You were scared by the battle of Sanduchuan, right? The Song people will only fight in formation, and gallop in the grassland desert with us, how can they have that ability? As long as I don't cross the Yellow River, there is no danger at all, what are I afraid of! ”
Ye Li Yuqi had no choice but to say: "As long as Your Majesty's army does not cross the Yellow River, it should be able to be safe." The leader of the troops here in Qinzhou is the third division Laozi, who has broken the Jiaozhi country before, and it is really difficult to deal with. In the first battle of Sanduchuan, he knocked out the gateway south of our Yellow River, but he himself was unscathed and had to be cautious. ”
"What three old men, the milk stinks before it dries, he just learned to fight from his mother's womb, and what can he know! I have been commanding the army since I was a teenager, how many tough battles have I fought, and which of the famous people around me has not known? What about such a person! ”
Although Yuan Hao said it majesticly, he didn't go crazy, and he would never run to meet Xu Ping for a while as soon as his brain was hot. In fact, if the Rusha Valley had not been defeated, he would never have led his troops across the Yellow River. As long as he stays on the north bank of the Yellow River, the Song army can't fly, what can he do? The situation is not right, immediately lead the troops to slip away, and it can really be blocked by the Song army. If you want to fight hard, you still have to wait until winter, when the domestic manpower is free, the surrounding rivers are frozen, and the party army can come and go freely.
