Chapter Eighty-Five: Winning the Battle of Baixiang (3)
The bigwigs were studying how to meet the enemy, after all, it was a big battle between hundreds of thousands of people. Almost all the warlords www.biquge.info were attracted by the great battle on the Hebei side, and everyone knew that the cards would inevitably be reshuffled after this war. The envoys and emperors of all sizes began to take action, and Bianliang was full of meticulous work to inquire about the news.
Now the two sides are still in a state of mutual temptation, last night, the leaders of the Jin, Ding, and Zhen coalition forces held a "joint meeting", and the final result of the discussion was to send troops to fight the Liang army head-on. On the second day, the Jin army entered the north bank of the Yehe River (a tributary of the present-day Fuyang River) and confronted the Liang army at the Jiahe River. In the forward tent, Li Siyuan and Zhou Dewei were discussing something in front of the sand table.
"Manager Zhou, this sand table is really easy to use, the mountains and rivers are clear at a glance, the situation of the enemy and me is clear and distinct, I don't know if it is done with people?" Li Siyuan looked at the sand table in the big tent and sighed.
The military sand table has existed since ancient times, and it is not unusual. But this one is very different. The sand table is exquisitely made, all kinds of military villages, passes, rivers, cities can be found on it, it is said that the distance of each thing in this sand table is very particular, what is the scale called, take a ruler to know the actual distance, the end is magical.
"Hehe, this is done by the craftsman sent forward, but I have a heart." Zhou Dewei and Wang Jin are also acquaintances, and they have a very good impression of him.
Looking at Jinzhou City on the sand table, Zhou Dewei suddenly moved in his heart, why not transfer Wang Jin over to listen to it, his ability has also been seen, and he can be regarded as a tiger general, now the battle situation is scorching, just with his ability in the sand table, maybe there will be some unexpected effects.
"General Li, is this Wang Jin still in Jinju?" Zhou Dewei was obviously very satisfied with Wang Jin, and immediately began to inquire about his situation.
"It's still in Jinju, but it's a little troublesome!"
"Oh, what's the trouble?" Zhou Dewei was a little surprised, what trouble can there be in Jinzhou, now everyone's ideas are all concentrated here, and Zhu Wen on the Jinzhou side is afraid that he doesn't have the heart to care about it at all. Li Siyuan told him in detail what happened in Jinju, including the forcible robbery of grain from large households. Zhou Dewei, who listened to it, was a little stunned, and after a long while, he stroked his palm and smiled: "This forward, there are really some methods, there are more than 1,000 people in the Jinzhou army, and they consume a lot of grain and grass every day, and Jinyang has no surplus grain and grass supply, so he can only find his own way, and he is helpless to do this!" Zhou Dewei explained for Wang Jin, saying that Wang Jin was helpless, but in fact, he still agrees with this in his heart.
"Okay, I'll have him transferred to the tent tomorrow!" Li Siyuan didn't understand Wang Jin, since Zhou Dewei commanded, then do it.
Wang Jin is also worried, he is now a ******** in Jinju, no one cares about this city, and there are very few troops, so he has to prevent Zhu Wen's sudden attack on a whim.
…………
When the Liang and Jin confronted each other, the Jin army repeatedly sent cavalry to the Liang camp to challenge, and hit both ends of its formation, capturing more than 100 Liang soldiers.
Moreover, Zhou Dewei considered that the soldiers of Chengde and Yiwu were good at defending the city, and it was inconvenient for the cavalry to attack the camp, so he suggested that the soldiers should be heavy, retreat to Gaoyi (now Hebei), and lure the Liang army to leave the camp, wait for work, and take the opportunity to attack.
Every day is spent in such calculations and counter-calculations, scouting horses and galloping everywhere to listen to the news of the enemy.
