[Second Update.] 】

What is the reason for Hedong's defeat, Chong Ge obviously has no intention of saying anything. It's just that he wants all the officials under his command to go back and do things with their hearts. and demanded that the pace of construction of the city be accelerated, and that the news should not be leaked.

After the end of the show, Han Gang turned around and left, and did not discuss it privately with others. He was still interested in the reasons for the defeat in Hedong, but he didn't seem to want to say anything, most of the time it was something inside, and Han Gang still decided not to find out. However, when Han Gang returned to the sanatorium, he handled his business as usual as if he had nothing to do, and turned his head, but Chong Jianzhong came to him.

Chong Jianzhong came to Han Gang to send the list of wounded and sick people back to Suide. The day before yesterday, Li Nangong, the Shaanxi transfer judge, escorted the ordnance to defend the city, and he will return to Suide this afternoon. In the planned plan, he also sent all the wounded and sick here in Luo Wu back to the rear - Luo Wu City, which was about to start a war, was of course not a good place to recuperate.

Han Gang had already made a list of them, and the people were arranged, just waiting to be sent to the carriage. It didn't take much effort to finalize the matter together with Chong Jianzhong. If you get the list in the middle of the planting, you should go back and report back to the planting. But he stood at the door in a daze for a long time, and then turned around and asked Han Gang: "Yukun, you really don't want to know why the Ludao Hedong Army was defeated?" ”

Han Gang didn't ask, but Chong Jianzhong sent it to the door himself. When he came here, he was mentally prepared that Han Gang would ask about the Hedong fiasco, but who expected that Han Gang would not mention it at all, and honestly follow the general order of the plant, only focus on one of his own jobs, and do not inquire about anything else. As a subordinate, Han Gang's performance can be said to be exemplary, but Chong Jianzhong is very uncomfortable, and the defeat in Hedong makes him have something to say in his heart, and he is not happy if he doesn't say it.

Han Gang looked at the young Nineteenth Brother of the Seed Family and smiled meaningfully. He brought a steaming kettle from the small stove in the room and made two cups of tea for Chong Jianzhong and himself. After placing the two cups of tea opposite each other on the small table, he sat down and asked slowly, "What is the reason?" ”

Seeing Han Gang unhurriedly put on a gesture of talking, Chong Jianzhong's tightly locked thick eyebrows stretched out slightly, shook his head and smiled: "Yukun, you really have calm qi when you are about to have a big event, this kung fu of cultivating qi is really admirable." ”

He took the list in his arms, turned around and sat down. But he didn't drink tea, but sighed for a long time before he said: "Because the deadline given by Han Xianggong to the Hedong Army is five days!" …… So he was ambushed on the temple road. ”

"Fifteen days?!" Chong Jianzhong didn't say it clearly, so Han Gang was confused, and immediately frowned: "What are you doing here?" Is it good to take a detour to the south of Yongheguan Old Road? Walking under the nose of a thief is not looking for death. There are fifteen days of ......"

"It's not fifteen days, it's five...... It's five days of one, two, three, four, five! Chong Jianzhong reluctantly interrupted Han Gang's words, "Han Xianggong ordered that the reinforcements from Hedong must arrive within five days, so they did not detour to Yonghe Pass, but took the Shentang Road on the northern route. However, he was ambushed by the western thieves on the road, so he was defeated. The team that came out of Taiyuan relied on the support of Lu Gongbi, who guarded Taiyuan, and took Yonghe Pass, and did not fall into ambush, but now it has also retreated. ”

Listening to the correction in the middle of the building, Han Gang was stunned. The original calm and relaxed posture is gone. Some stupidly opened their hands and spread five fingers: "Just five days?!" ”

Chong Jianzhong sighed, turned his head, touched the coarse porcelain teacup, and stopped talking.

Han Gang became anxious: "Why is Han Xianggong so confused?!" When this order was issued, no one persuaded him?! …… Zhao Gongcai [Zhao Yu] Can't you spend your eyes?! Just let this document pass through your hands?! ”

Han Gang's reproachful interrogation was one after another, which made Chong Jianzhong extremely embarrassed. sent a letter to Han Jiang to urge Hedong to send troops, but his fifth uncle was a planter. Although the specific provisions of it were not known in advance, what Han Jiang did was also to stabilize Luo Wucheng as soon as possible.

However, reinforcements from Hedong were to arrive at Luo Wu within five days......

How low an IQ does it have to be, or how crazy a mind must be to give such an order?!

From Hedong to Yanyan, even if the gathering place of the reinforcements this time is a little far away from Luowu City, it is actually only a distance of more than a hundred miles. This distance, if it is an ordinary official road in the mainland, let alone five days, three days is more than enough time - that is, because it is close, otherwise, it is impossible for Hedong to build the outer walled fort of Luowu City.

But it's almost enemy territory!

The place where Shentangdao passed was not a stable control area of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was only in the past two years that the Western Xia abandoned its garrison because of the reversal of the military situation of the Song and Xia countries. But the cavalry of the party men still often galloped in it, and then galloped away.

The 20,000 troops of the Western Xia people stationed in the Zuoxiang Shenyong Military Division can survive safely in the gap between Hedong and Yanyan, and their combat power can be imagined. This time Hedong sent reinforcements, although the Linzhou Prefecture in the north could contain part of the troops of the Divine Brave Army, but no matter what, the reinforcements were all marching under the noses of the Western Xia people.

The enemy army may appear at any time, and it is not prudent enough to take every step of the way, Han Jiang actually ordered them to rush to Luo Wu within five days, and they were ambushed on the road, can they still complain that the western thieves are too cunning?!

More than one person has already said that the Yokoyama strategy formulated by Han Jiang and Chong Ge is too risky. Whether it is sending troops to Luo Wu or sending reinforcements from Hedong, they are all walking on the tightrope, and if they are not careful, they will fall off the cliff. The first adventure, relying on the ability to plant, was indeed successful, but this does not mean that the second time can also be successful.

Han Gang was also not optimistic about this battle from the beginning, and Luo Wucheng's success in the previous was just a surprise. And now Hedong is defeated, which is just the first scoop of cold water on the excited flames after capturing Luowu City. Then...... When it comes one after another.

The Hedong army was defeated, and Gao Yongneng, who went out of Lu to meet him, led the army back. And the four walled forts that were originally scheduled to be built by Hedong are naturally not finished. After this battle, the morale of the Left Wing Divine Warrior Division of Western Xia was greatly boosted, and the Hedong side, after the defeat, it was basically impossible to send troops again in a short period of time. Therefore, there is a gap in the right flank of the Luowu defense line that is hundreds of miles wide, and if the Tanguts are bold enough, they can even send troops to copy the trail and go straight to the city of Suide!

- It's better for the Hedong Army to send reinforcements at the beginning! As long as the tens of thousands of soldiers who were defeated this time are piled up on the border, the Western Xia army will not dare to go deeper, and it will not fall into the current situation.

In the case of the Hedong Army, it is more useful to have a fleet than to be embarrassed.

Han Gang picked up the teacup, took a sip of the hot tea without realizing it, and immediately burned it so much that he almost jumped. Throwing the teacup on the ground, he didn't care that the broken porcelain pieces were splashed all over the ground:

"When will the marshal return to Suide?" Han Gang asked straightforwardly.

Chong Jianzhong was not a little surprised by Han Gang's problem. The current situation really made it impossible for the seed to continue to stay in Luowu City. With the defeat of the Hedong Army and the breakthrough of the Luowu defensive line, the key point of the upcoming Luowu City defense battle has been transferred back to Suide City.

In fact, this is also a clear thing, the Loess Plateau is full of ravines, there are many large and small roads, and it is not difficult to send an army to attack in depth for hundreds of miles. This is also a very common scene in the war between the Song and Xia countries, and the reason why the Song army was pressed and beaten by the Tangut people for a long time is this reason. In order to solve this thorny problem, the Song Dynasty began to spare no manpower and material resources, and spent decades building a fortified area that stretched for thousands of miles and was hundreds of miles deep to block every road that might be used by the party cavalry to invade the hinterland - but the area through which the Shentang Road passed lacked such a defense system.

Now when the Hedong soldiers are unable to come to help, if Luowucheng wants to remain unharmed, the safety of the rear, especially the safety of Suide, must be guaranteed.

"Take at least five thousand people back!" Chong Jianzhong also didn't hide the confidential military information from Han Gang, although it was what Chong Ge said to him and Chong Pu in private, but when Han Gang had already seen it through, it would be too stupid to hide it again.

"The elite of Yan Yan are all in Luo Wu, even if Han Xianggong can transfer troops from other places, it will be unbearable to fight. Sima Guang is watching a joke on the Chang'an side, and if Han Xianggong transfers troops from him, it will cause turmoil in Guanzhong. However, Suide City already left 3,000 soldiers, plus the 5,000 people brought back, with the means of the uncle, it was enough to defend it steadily. The thief wants to sneak attack, but he has to prevent being eaten in turn. ”

It's not too early for Chong Jianzhong to see if it's too early, and he has to go back and report the list to Chong Ge. got up to say goodbye, and when Han Gang sent him out, he stopped at the door again: "Yukun, you will go back to Suide with us in a few days." ”

"It's good! I will go back with you, and where I will go when the time comes, it will be decided. Han Gang didn't pretend to be a gesture, he was always not optimistic about the attitude of Hengshan Raiders, so he left Luo Wucheng without worrying about being underestimated.

And Chong Jianzhong saw that Han Gang answered quickly, and suddenly smiled again, "Yukun is still relieved." We have never had the luxury of using soldiers and smooth sailing. I've seen too many cases where the enemy is strong and I'm weak, haven't I been fighting all the time? As long as you are not afraid of death when you go into battle, you can always earn a way. Even if the army of the Western Thieves arrives, last year Liang Yibu led 300,000 troops to invade the south, and the Chinese army attacked Dashun City with all its might, but did it ever come down? As long as Luo Wu City is repaired as soon as possible, relying on this city alone is enough to make the Western Thieves return in vain! ”

Han Gang bowed slightly, what Jianzhong said was actually good. On the battlefield, there is no such thing as victory or defeat, and a little accident can completely reverse the tide of battle. Even if Han Gang himself, he can't say that Luo Wucheng will inevitably be lost.

But...... The direction of the wind has changed!

Can a tactical victory really change a strategic disadvantage?

Han Gang waited and watched.
