Zhu Youqian was reluctant to give up Dingying, in addition to the consideration of making money and accumulating wealth, there were also military considerations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dingying, located in the northwest of Runan, has three rivers, with water in the north, Rushui in the east, and water in the south, which is a natural barrier for Dingying and the surrounding areas.

The three cities of Dingying, Canyang and Xiping are three-legged and distributed along the three rivers.

In particular, Dingying and Canyang, respectively, are located at the intersection of Lushui and Rushui, Rushui and Qinshui, such as a fortress guarding the river, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhu Youqian and his generals Chen Ji and Liang Gang guarded the three cities and took care of each other.

In addition to Zhu Youqian's department, Liu Xun, a puppet Han general, and Liu Kai, a younger brother, were stationed in Pingyu and Shangcai, which could be used as foreign aid.

Natural barriers such as Rushui, coupled with the relatively complete front-line defense system of Dingying Pingyu, are the source of Zhu Youqian's self-confidence.

If Yue Fei's troops wanted to attack Dingying, they had to cross the water to fight, and it was extremely difficult to guard against Liu Xun and Liu Kai of Pingyu.

……

However, Zhu Youqian still underestimated the strength of the Luoyang Army and Yue Fei's ability.

Yue Pengju has already made up his mind!

After the troops were assembled, Yue Fei immediately sent his troops and waved his army south along the east bank of Rushui.

Although Zhu Youqian was confident, he couldn't help but be nervous when he heard the news of the Luoyang Army's troops. A large number of scouts were dispatched to reconnoiter both sides of the river and Rushui, and closely monitor the movements of the Luoyang army.

"Report! Pei Yuanqing, the vanguard of the enemy, has arrived on the east bank of Rushui in Dingying City! ”

Zhu Youqian got the reward and immediately climbed the Dingying city wall.

I saw that on the other side of Rushui, the vanguard department of the Luoyang Army was waving flags and neatly lined up.

It's just that the vanguard of the Luoyang Army did not camp on the other side, but continued to move south.

What is the enemy going to do? Zhu Youqian was a little nervous.

Command the scouts to keep an eye on the enemy's movements and report them at any time.

The Luoyang Army, one team followed another, was under Dingying City, across Rushui, and rushed by, completely ignoring Dingying City and the tens of thousands of defenders in the city.

Zhu Youqian was even more puzzled.

The Second Road Pioneer Department of the Luoyang Army, the Central Military Department and the Supply Department passed one after another. There was no Luoyang army all the way, staying near Dingying, and not even a single Luoyang soldier took a look at Dingying City!

Zhu Youqian was puzzled and couldn't help but get nervous.

Could it be that the goal of the Luoyang Army is not Dingying?!

Thinking of this question, Zhu Youqian couldn't help but be surprised!

If the goal of the Luoyang Army is not Dingying, it must be Pingyu or Shangcai!

Pingyu and Shangcai are important places in the central and western parts of Runan, and they are also the guarantee for Zhu Youqian's retreat to the south.

If the Luoyang army captures Pingyu and Shangcai, the road to the south will be cut off, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

Zhu Youqian ordered to continue tracking and investigating, while thinking about countermeasures.

Zhu Youqian's principle is very simple, there are only two things: first, the fixed wing can be lost, and the retreat cannot be broken. Second, soldiers and horses can be lost, but property cannot be lost!

……

The letters came one after another, and the target of the attack of the Yue Fei Department of the Luoyang Army was indeed Pingyu!

Wang Zhonghe's crossing of Zhaoling to attack Xihua has gone beyond normal combat thinking. And Yue Fei is even worse, crossing Dingying and going deep into the hinterland of Runan, intending to directly attack the Pingyu of Runan County!

Bypassing the city in front of him and penetrating deep into the enemy's hinterland, such examples have never been listed in the art of war writings throughout the ages. Because this tactic is a specific tactic under specific conditions.

This tactic runs the risk of being cut off by the enemy, besieged by the enemy, and annihilated!

Imitation like a gourd painting scoop, failing at least nine times out of ten, is not worth advocating.

However, this tactic is not for nothing.

Not to mention, in the Battle of Yongliang, Deng Ai led his troops to cross the Qinling Mountains and attacked Tongguan from behind, which is a successful example.

……

Zhu Youqian felt that the Luoyang Army was crazy!

Of course Wang Zhongsi and Yue Fei are not crazy!

Wang Yue and the others are the top commanders in the Luoyang Army, and they are well versed in the art of war. And Liu Bowen and Wang Shouren, who planned this battle, are also human spirits.

The art of war is dead, but man is alive.

They dared to formulate such radical and risky tactics, not only because they considered the needs of the overall strategy, but also because they were sure that the puppet Han army in Yuzhou was already vulnerable.

Liu Bowen and Wang Shouren believed that many conditions such as combat strength, morale, equipment, and the confidence of generals all met the specific conditions for advancing across the city.

Specific tactics under certain conditions can greatly speed up the pace of attacking Runan and approaching Shouchun.

Speeding up the speed will not only cause great pressure on Yuan Shu, but also create tension for Liu Bei. When people are nervous, they are most likely to make hasty decisions and make low-level strategic mistakes!

The staff and generals, after repeated discussions, believe that this tactic will definitely succeed!

Liu Mang naturally named this tactic - cross the tower and kill!

……

Like Li Hanzhi, in the face of the Luoyang Army's almost crazy, unreasonable, and non-existent tactics of crossing the tower and killing him, Zhu Youqian was mad, but he couldn't think of a good way.

According to common sense, Zhu Youqian's approach at this time should avoid confrontation with the Luoyang Army, which is in full swing, and after the Luoyang Army's Yue Fei Division moves south, he will send troops to block the main road between the north and the south and cut off the supply channel of Yue Fei's Army.

Then, wait for Yue Feibu to run out of grain and grass, and when he is in a desperate situation, he will launch a fatal blow.

However, Zhu Youqian did not dare to do so.

Even if he has confidence in his team, Zhu Youqian has no confidence in Liu Xun and Liu Kai who are stationed in Pingyu and Shangcai.

As a general in command, Zhu Youqian knows best how low the combat effectiveness of the Yuzhou Army is.

He even suspected that when the Luoyang army suddenly appeared under Pingyu and Shangcai City like a divine soldier, Liu Xun and Liu Kai would lead the troops and abandon the city!

Runan County has a population of more than 2 million, and Pingyu is the heart of Runan, with hundreds of thousands of people living in the surrounding area.

If Yue Fei occupies Pingyu, there is no problem with the supply of grain and grass.

In this way, it is not that Yue Fei fell into a desperate situation of running out of food after the lone army went deeper, but that he, Zhu Youqian, was separated in the northwest corner of Runan and was trapped to death!

No way!

The Luoyang army does not attack according to the routine, and it cannot defend itself according to the routine.

Dispatch troops!

Sending troops to support Liu Xun and Liu Kai must not allow the Luoyang army to capture Pingyu or Shangcai.

Keeping important cities such as Pingyu and Shangcai can ensure the passage to the south. And the Luoyang army has no big city to rely on, and it will inevitably fall into the dilemma of cutting off grain and grass, and it is a matter of time before the army retreats.

At that time, depending on the situation, it will be decided whether to hold on or pursue the victory.

However, Zhu Youqian also has concerns.

If the rescue of Pingyu and Shangcai is unfavorable, what will be the result?

The most terrible result is that the main force leaves and Dingying is lost!

Dingying, to others, is just a city. But for Zhu Youqian, Dingying is his home!

All of his net worth, countless belongings, most of them, are in Dingying.

It is important to support the peace, and even more important is to have your own belongings!

After thinking about it, Zhu Youqian finally had an idea. First, transfer the property to the relatively safe Wufang City to the west of Canyang, send heavy troops to garrison, and then lead the troops to support Pingyu.

Of course, it's good to be able to keep the peace.

If you can't keep the peace, you can also lead the troops back to Wufang, and then retreat south from Wufang.

Zhu Youqian finally made a decision and prepared to send troops to support Pingyu and Shangcai! (To be continued.) )
