Chapter 205: Xuchang is determined
Although the words came out of Xie Xuan's mouth, it was Xie An's opinion, Rao is Wei Jie's prejudice against Xie An, and he was full of vigilance, and he had to admire Xie An's unique opinion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that what Xie An didn't say was that all of this was based on his Xie family's stealing of the Southern Jin Dynasty power from the Sima clan, according to Xie An's idea, after the Great War between the North and the South, if the Southern Jin Dynasty was defeated, naturally everything would be suspended, if the Southern Jin Dynasty was lucky to win, Sima Yao would either die or abdicate to make way for Xian, and the Southern Jin Dynasty would be won by him Xie An!
At that time, the north is in turmoil, there is no time to look south, with his ability to thank An, the Southern Jin Dynasty can naturally take this opportunity to get a good rest, after a period of strong soldiers and horses, stockpiling grain and grass, the northern ethnic groups are bound to fight each other is bound to be close to the end, the vitality is greatly injured, then it will be the time for the Southern Jin Dynasty to make a big northern expedition.
Strategically, Xie An's idea can be described as imperfect, not only successfully seizing the power of the Southern Jin Dynasty and winning the south, but also having the opportunity to recover the rivers and mountains and realize the unification of the north and the south, which will go down in history!
In all fairness, if Xie Anzheng is as recorded in history, worried about the country and the people, and cares about the world, and has no murderous intentions towards him, the Wei rank supports Xie An to replace the Sima Dynasty, after all, Xie An's foundation is there, compared to Liu Yu, he can take a lot of detours, and the people in the south can also suffer a lot less from wars.
It's just that now this Xie An is obviously not the Xie An recorded in history, although in the eyes of ordinary people, he is still the pillar of the country who worries about the country and the people, and thinks about the Sima Dynasty everywhere, but he is a traitorous and loyal, and a person who is hypocritical and true, and now his goal has not been achieved, so he is always disguised, once he is allowed to win the world, no one knows what Xie An will look like when he reveals his true face!
The most important thing is that he has been deeply scrupled by Xie An, once Xie An has to ascend to the throne, he has only one way to die!
"Big brother, is it going to recover Xuchang next?" After Xie Xuan finished speaking, Xie Yan asked thoughtfully.
Since Nanyang has been taken, it can form a horn with Yiyang, and the Beifu soldiers and the Yuzhou army can advance and attack, retreat and defend, on the other hand, the Qiang army in Xuchang, although it is not inferior in strength, but it is controlled everywhere and it is difficult!
"Not bad!" Xie Xuan nodded slightly.
"Now Liu Gaozhi's sailor should be not far from Rushui outside Xuchang City, and these more than 10,000 sailors alone are enough to make the Qiang army dare not go out of the city easily!"
"The Hu people are good at field warfare, not good at defending the city, as long as we can make them dare not go out of the city to fight, we will have won three points first!"
"The rainy season will continue for a while, since the Qiang army does not dare to go out of the city, why don't we repeat the old tricks and flood Xuchang City again?" Xie Yan's eyes lit up and he spoke.
"I'm afraid this plan won't work again!" Wei Jie, who had been silent, shook his head slightly when he heard the words and said.
"Xuchang was one of the five capitals of Cao Wei back then, and Cao Mengde used the water to flood Lu Bu who captured this enrollment, Xuchang is close to Rushui, he won't be defenseless!"
"Moreover, there is also a lesson from Ruyin, Yao Chang will not be defenseless!"
"What Xiao Jie's said is that flooding Xuchang must no longer be feasible!" Xie Xuan nodded appreciatively and said with a smile.
"The Qiang army is not good at defending the city, so we will storm Xuchang, and we will also use this battle to start the name of our Beifu soldiers, and really play a deterrent role!"
"If it is a strong attack, the casualties will be uncontrollable, our troops are limited, if the loss of Xuchang is too huge, I am afraid that we will not be able to continue to go north, will the gains outweigh the losses?" Xie Yan frowned and said.
"And Fu Jian will not sit idly by and watch Xuchang fall into our hands, the Qiang people in Xuchang City only need to hold on for a month, and the reinforcements of the former Qin will inevitably arrive, if Xuchang has not been taken by then, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us, and when the time comes, not only the newly recovered Nanyang Ruyin will not be able to be saved, but I am afraid that Yiyang will also fall into the hands of the former Qin!"
"Xiao Yan's worries are not unreasonable!" Xie Xuan nodded slightly, what Xie Yan could think of, he naturally wouldn't be unexpected.
"Does Xiao Jie's have a clever plan to take Xuchang within a month?"
"There are tens of thousands of Qiang troops in Xuchang City, even if the Qiang army is not good at defending the city, I am afraid that with our current strength, if we want to storm Xuchang, it will be difficult to break the city in a few months!" Wei Jie's head shook his head and said.
"When the time comes, as soon as the reinforcements of the former Qin arrive, especially the sailors of the former Qin, we will not only lose our advantage, but also turn from hunters to prey, and there is a danger of annihilation!"
Xie Xuan and Xie Yan both nodded with deep sympathy, and Wei Jie continued: "Presumably Yao Chang also knows this, even if the Qiang army is not good at defending the city, but Xuchang has a strong city defense after all, and the equipment to defend the city is readily available, he will definitely defend the city and wait for reinforcements!" ”
"However, the guard has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible!"
Xie Xuan's eyes lit up and said, "Xiao Jie, you might as well say it, Xiao Yan and I will take a closer look with you!" ”
Wei Jie's head nodded slightly, and said: "Let's take care of it, first of all, the two armies of the waterway will be under the city of Xuchang together, put on a siege posture, and then send Liu Yu to personally lead his scouts to all the routes where the former Qin reinforcements may come to support, and pay close attention to the movements of the former Qin reinforcements!" ”
"In order to show our determination to take down Xuchang City and our attitude of quick victory, we launched an attack on the city as soon as we arrived in Xuchang City, Yao Chang will definitely ask Fu Jian for help as soon as he feels the pressure, and after that, we only need to make a feint at the right time!"
"When Liu Yu comes to the news of the former Qin reinforcements, let's evacuate the water division from Rushui first, and go directly to Huaishui, this move will definitely not escape Yao Chang's eyes, and then evacuate all the siegers outside Xuchang City!"
"The main reason why Yao Chang didn't dare to go out of the city to fight with us was because of our army's sailors, as long as the sailors really withdrew, Yao Chang would definitely go out of the city to pursue, and then we would go back and fight Yao Chang to the death in the field, use their best field battles to defeat them, and make a name for the Beifu soldiers!"
"Xiao Jie, this is to lure the enemy out of the city?" Xie Yan asked puzzled.
"In this way, if you withdraw the sailor directly, won't Yao Chang's army directly fight with me in the field? Why bother? ”
The reason why the Qiang army is not good at defending the city, but also has to defend the city is because the water division of the Beifu soldiers can launch an attack in the Rushui and they are unable to fight back, Xie Yan's intention is to directly withdraw the water division, and attack the city by land alone, the Qiang water army does not have the scruples of the Beifu soldiers and water divisions, and will definitely open the city gate and fight to the death with the Beifu soldiers and the Yuzhou army outside the city!
"Xiao Yan's statement is not considered, first of all, this is unreasonable, why did our army have a sailor and abandon it? Attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings? Xie Xuan shook his head and said.
"This will only make Yao Chang have scruples, and Xiao Jie's plan is to dispel this concern in Yao Chang's heart!"
