Chapter 530: Surprise attack on Yangzhou

Temukin asked, "Where did he get so much grain?" Can you afford it? ”

Everyone knows that it is easy to recruit soldiers, but it is difficult to raise soldiers, and the food consumed by an army of 420,000 in a day is an astronomical amount, let alone last for several months. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Qin Huaiyu said: "You don't know, the land south of the Yangtze River has always been the granary of my Tang Dynasty, and the grain you need every year in the Northern Desert is transported from here to the northwest." When he got here, he was like an endless supply of food. ”

"I heard that after Aguduo captured Jiangnan, he cleaned up more than a dozen families in a row, and took the hoarded grain and grass as his own, plus the granary of the government, he is now rich and oily."

"420,000 horses, by no means his final strength, there was a scout yesterday to report, he is still recruiting..."

Tiemujin said: "General Qin, then please give the order quickly and annihilate Aguduo, otherwise, when he has more soldiers, we will not be opponents." ”

"Recruit, what's there to be afraid of?"

Qin Huaiyu smiled and said, "General Tiemu doesn't need to worry, before the big battle, we must first find out the enemy's deployment situation and how to march. ”

Pointing to Yangzhou on the map, Qin Huaiyu said: "Aguduo has 40,000 troops stationed in this city, of which 30,000 are recruits, with low equipment and no combat effectiveness, and 10,000 of them are the elite of Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”

"I intend to fight Yangzhou first, recover the entire territory of Huainan, and then go to Jiangnan."

"What do you think?"

"General Qin only gives orders, and we will obey orders, and there will be no objections."

Temukin said with a smile.

Qin Huaiyu nodded, he liked Brother Tiemu, and he didn't object to anything, it completely became his word, which was more conducive to him mobilizing a large army to fight.

Qin Huaiyu said: "Okay, then I'll give the order." ”

"General Temujin, you will personally lead 50,000 Northern Desert Elite Cavalry to the junction of Yangzhou and Jiangnan to station to prevent Aguduo from rescuing Yangzhou. General Tiemuyin, you lead the rest of the men and horses to Yangzhou with me, and take this city with lightning speed. ”

"Yes (good)." The two responded in unison.

Early the next morning.

According to Qin Huaiyu's plan, Temujin led an army of 50,000 people, quietly bypassed Yangzhou, came to the place where Yangzhou and Jiangnan Road meet, set up camp, camped for dozens of miles, and completely cut off the road.

If Aguduo wants to rescue Yangzhou, he must go through this company camp.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Huaiyu and Tie Muyin led the remaining army, totaling 130,000, to storm Yangzhou!

The next day, six hundred miles away from Yangzhou, in the city of Suzhou, Aguduo was drinking wine in the lobby, and there were seven or eight generals sitting in the hall.

Aguduo has a rough face and is a complete reckless man.

This makes people puzzled, how can such a reckless man be able to capture Jiangnan? Yangzhou was also captured.

You must know that the land south of the Yangtze River is extremely vast, the territory is no less than Xiliang, and it is extremely rich, it is the granary of the Tang Dynasty, although there are not many garrisons, but the city defense is strong, and the nearby states and counties can rush to help.

"Strategist, what do you think, you brought us here so early, wouldn't it just be to see you playing silence there?" Aguduo took a sip of wine and looked back at the Confucian standing in front of the map.

The man was dressed in a Confucian robe, his face was full of confidence, his left hand was behind his back, and his right hand was on the map, constantly gesturing.

After a while, he turned around and said, "General, I suggested three days ago that you send a large army to the Yangzhou border garrison to consolidate the defense between Jiangnan, Suzhou and Yangzhou, why don't you move?" ”

The person who spoke was the Confucian student.

His name is Zhuge Can, and he is said to be a descendant of Zhuge Liang in the late Han Dynasty, and I don't know if it's true or not.

It is also fate, when A Guduo was ordered to conquer Jiangnan, he met Zhuge Can on the river, and talked with him for a few days, A Guduo found that Zhuge Can is really a strange person, knows everything, knows astronomy and geography, and also has a deep understanding of military affairs.

So, he worshiped Zhuge Can as a military advisor and took him all the way to Jiangnan.

With the help of Zhuge Can, he successively captured Jiangnan and Yangzhou, and the soldiers won day by day, and no one could stop them.

Hearing this, A Guduo said indifferently: "Hey, let's capture Jiangnan and Yangzhou, there are 40,000 soldiers stationed in Yangzhou, and there are 300,000 troops stationed in Suzhou, Li Shimin still dares to fight me Yangzhou?" Then I will immediately wave my army north and beat them to the ground. ”

Below, a general also said: "Yes, there are 40,000 garrisons in Yangzhou, it is impossible to be captured in an instant, no matter how you say it, it will take several days of hard fighting, by then, our reinforcements have already arrived." The military advisor doesn't have to worry too much, or sit down and have a drink. ”

"Hahaha..." Thinking of the victories of these days, and the thought of the heavy troops in hand now, everyone laughed and was overjoyed.

Zhuge Can sighed and said, "You guys, if you don't wake up again, how did Jiangnan and Yangzhou get it, and how did you lose it!" ”

"Haha... Military advisor, don't be alarmist, Jiangnan and Yangzhou are garrisoned by my 400,000 troops, and Li Shimin can still attack? Does he have so many soldiers? As for those Northern Desert soldiers, will they attack the city? ”

Aguduo didn't care at all.

Zhuge Can was also slightly angry, sat down in his seat, and said, "Okay, then I hope it will be as the general said." ”

"Report..." However, just then, a soldier ran in from outside.

"What's wrong?" Agudo asked.

The soldier said: "News came from Yangzhou, early yesterday morning, Qin Huaiyu personally led a large army to attack my Yangzhou, and General Lu Yang asked for rescue. ”

Zhuge Can asked: "At the junction of Suzhou and Yangzhou, is there an enemy camp stationed?" ”

"There's... There were 50,000, and the Northern Desert general Temujin was personally stationed. The soldier replied.

Zhuge Can took a deep breath, and a slight anger appeared on his face.

He had already proposed to Aguduo that Yangzhou and Suzhou were too far apart to rush to help immediately, and what was even more terrifying was that in the place of handover, the terrain was particularly special, and once occupied, it was difficult to cross the past.

But Ah Guduo has never taken it seriously, and now, something has finally happened.

Ah Guduo stood up and said, "Go and order Lu Yang and let him hold on for two days, and my reinforcements will arrive." ”

"Nope."

Zhuge Can said: "General, you have to think twice." ”

Aguduo: "...? What does the military advisor mean? ”

Zhuge Can looked at the soldier and said, "You go down first, and then probe and report." ”

"No." The soldier stepped back.

Zhuge Can took a deep breath and said, "General, I'm afraid Yangzhou can't hold it." ”

"What do you say, I... My 40,000 troops are stationed in Yangzhou, and I have also sent General Lu Yang to guard it, how can I not hold it? I'll lead the army there, and I'll be able to reach Yangzhou before sunset tomorrow! ”

As he spoke, he was about to prepare to move his troops.

Zhuge Can said loudly: "If the general wants to lose even Jiangnan, go ahead!" Yangzhou was besieged, our soldiers were not good at fighting, and in the face of Qin Huaiyu's army, it would be broken one day! If the general wants to go, he will inevitably mobilize no less than 200,000 troops in the city, maybe you can defeat Temujin, but can you defeat Qin Huaiyu, he still has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, all of them are elite, even if the general can dare to arrive, it is also a tired army, at that time, most of Yangzhou has been breached, can you take it back to Yangzhou? ”
