Chapter 543: Liaodong Digging a Pit
After reading the urgent report in his hand, Wen Qiao handed it to Wei Shuo and said, "Lord, Shi Le has taken the bait!" ”
Wei Shuo glanced at the emergency report, and said with a glint in his eyes: "Hmph, Liaodong has been carefully planning for so long, isn't it just to lure Shile to the bait?" Now I'll see how Shi Le escapes the nirvana in front of him! ”
This time, in order to encircle and annihilate Shile's main force, Wei Shuo mobilized 300,000 troops, and deliberately exposed the middle gate to lure Shile north. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even so, Wei Shuo didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he would definitely be able to defeat Shi Le, he never underestimated Shi Le's ability.
"My lord, although I have successfully lured Shile's main force to the north, the next battle is not easy to fight! According to the scouts, there were as many as 500,000 Hulu who went north with Shile, while the Liaodong Army had only 300,000 on the Youji battlefield, far inferior to the Hulu army. ”
"This battle is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, it will bury the good situation in Liaodong, so you must be cautious."
"First of all, before the main army of Qianhu completely enters the encirclement, Liaodong must also do enough foreplay, and must not arouse Shile's suspicion, otherwise all the efforts made by Liaodong before will be in vain."
"Secondly, the defenders of Zhuoxian County must block the siege of the Hulu army that is more than ten times their size, and buy time for the main force to gather and annihilate Hulu."
"Finally, after Shile goes north, Liaodong must occupy Zhongshan and Gaoyang counties in a short period of time to cut off Hulu's retreat."
"Only by solving the above three major problems can the Liaodong Army be expected to completely annihilate Hulu in the next major war."
Listening to Wen Qiao's words, Wei Shuo's face showed a solemn expression, no one knew Shi Le's strength better than him, even if there were signs that Shi Le seemed to have been tricked to go north, but as long as he didn't eliminate the other party for a day, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance for a day.
"For the three problems mentioned by Taizhen, please speak freely and talk about what solutions there are."
Everyone was silent for a while, and Mo Han stood up first and said: "Lord, regarding the first difficulty, the ministers think that Liaodong must deploy some troops on the border of Youji, and their main task is not to intercept Shi Le's northward movement, but to dispel Shi Le's suspicions. If there is not a single army stationed on the entire border, with Shile's shrewdness, he will soon think that there is a trap ahead. ”
"It's just that in this way, those Liaodong soldiers are very likely to become victims of the war."
Wei Shuo's face was gloomy, and he naturally understood the deep meaning of Mo Han's words. Just to dispel Shi Le's suspicions, the number of troops sent to intercept will naturally not be too many, and this little force is not enough for the other party to plug his teeth compared to the 500,000 troops under Shi Le's command.
"Alas, in order to achieve the great cause of driving out Hulu, Shuo had to endure the pain of sacrificing thousands of soldiers, and if there is any responsibility in the future, a certain force will bear it. In addition, Liaodong must settle their families, I can't let the heroes shed blood and tears, if anyone dares to bully their families in the future, I will not let him go first. ”
After more than ten years of bloody rain, Wei Shuo is no longer a fledgling simple youth, even if his heart is not as hard-hearted as Shi Le, but it is also different. For example, if it had been ten years ago, he might not have been able to make up his mind so happily.
But now Wei Shuo is doing it so easily, and even found a very lofty excuse for himself - in order to complete the great cause of expelling Hulu. In this way, thousands of Liaodong disciples were easily sacrificed by Wei Shuo, and the trace of guilt in his heart quickly disappeared without a trace.
Sure enough, the environment can change people very much, the longer he stays in ancient times, the weaker Wei Shuo's thinking of modern people becomes, and he becomes more and more like an ancient person. In the eyes of outsiders, this change has become the majesty and momentum of Da Sima. At present, few people dare to laugh in front of him, and even Lu Chang, who has always behaved unruly, has become serious.
The other high-level Liaodong officials present also did not have the slightest objection to Wei Shuo's decision, in the eyes of the ancient magnates, it was a matter of course to sacrifice a few low-level soldiers in exchange for the victory of the entire war, and no one would complain about the thousands of ordinary Liaodong soldiers.
Even if someone disagrees in the future, everyone can still use Wei Shuo's kindness to the soldiers' families as a shield. It is already very rare for an ancient superior to achieve this step of Wei Shuo.
"The key to solving the second problem depends on the ability of Xue Tao, the guard of Zhuo County. In order to prevent Shile from 'retreating in the face of difficulties', it is impossible for Liaodong to deploy too many troops in Zhuoxian. Otherwise, Shi Le will definitely find another way to attack Zhuo County, and the intention of the Liaodong Army to encircle and annihilate Shi Le will not be realized. ”
Hearing Xue Tao's name, Wei Shuo said quite complacently: "I know Xue Tao, who has a high military talent, is a high-achieving student from the Martial Arts Academy, and has a family history, and is very good at defending the city. Zhuoxian was handed over to him, and I was relieved. ”
It turned out that as early as when the Military Division was formulating the war plan, Wei Shuo ordered Xue Tao to be transferred to Zhuo County as the guard general, in order to protect Zhuo County in the war.
"Lord, although Xue Zihong is good at defending the city, there are only 30,000 defenders in the city, and there will be hundreds of thousands of Hulu who are about to go north, and I don't know if Xue Zihong can hold out until the reinforcements arrive."
Wen Qiao's tone was a little worried, although he also believed in Xue Tao's ability. But after all, the number of Hulu is more than ten times that of the defenders of Zhuo County, and no matter how big Xue Tao's ability is, it can't help but worry.
Wei Shuo was silent for a while and said, "At the moment, we have no choice, it is impossible to increase the number of defenders in Zhuo County, we can only choose to trust Zihong." I believe that Zihong will not lose the prestige of the Liaodong Army, and he will definitely be able to ensure the safety of Zhuoxian. Don't forget, the joint logistics department in front of the station has mobilized a large number of equipment to defend the city to Zhuo County. ”
"With the help of the bed crossbow, coupled with Xue Tao's ability, Zhuoxian will definitely be foolproof."
Successfully solving the first two problems, Wei Shuo's confidence increased greatly, and then he couldn't wait to solve the last problem, he turned his head and asked Lu Changdao: "How is the battle in Changshan going now?" ”
"Back to the lord, the Zhixiong Department has been fooled and stepped into the encirclement of the army. As long as Shile's main force goes north, Duan Wenyang, Ji Tang, Yao Yizhong, Xie Ai and other troops will encircle and suppress the Zhixiong Division, and the 100,000 troops of the Zhixiong Department will be wiped out. ”
"Well, yes, Xie Ai, they really didn't disappoint me. Next, send someone to inform Xie Ai and Duan Wenyang that after they successfully eliminate the Zhixiong Division, they must march east as soon as possible to seize Zhongshan and Gaoyang counties and cut off the retreat of Shile's main force. ”
Knowing that the battle in Changshan was going well, Wei Shuo was overjoyed. Although the Battle of Changshan was only a partial battlefield in the entire war, its role could not be ignored because it shouldered the heavy task of cutting off the retreat route of the main force of Hulu. Only when Xie Ai, Duan Wenyang, Yao Yizhong and others completely annihilated the Zhixiong Department as soon as possible and successfully cut off Hulu's retreat, can the main force of the Liaodong Army be expected to destroy Shile.
……
At the same time, under the city of Zhending in Changshan County, Yao Yizhongzheng commanded his subordinates to resist the siege of the Zhixiong army. At present, the war is gradually becoming anxious, and the 100,000 Qianhu army surrounded the 30,000 Liaodong army for a long time, which made Zhixiong's mood gradually irritable, and he ignored the heavy casualties under his command, and only cared about forcing his subordinates to besiege the Liaodong army.
Yao Yizhong, who was surrounded by the array, was not in a hurry at all in the face of the siege of the army, but was happy because Zhixiong lost his calm. As a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, he knows very well that as Hu Lu gradually loses his way, the time for the Liaodong Army on the periphery to launch a fatal blow is getting closer and closer.
Yao Yizhong was not worried that Xie Ai, Duan Wenyang and others would not appear in the end, and the longer he stayed in Liaodong, the more he knew how strict the military discipline of the Liaodong Army was.
At this critical moment, as long as Da Sima did not personally order the change of military orders, neither Xie Ai nor Duan Wenyang would dare to give up the plan of encircling and supporting the heroes.
As Yao Yizhong expected, far away in the mountains and forests near Zhending, 40,000 Liaodong troops were secretly ambushing around. Xie Ai, Duan Wenyang, and Ji Tang were staring at the changes on the battlefield of Zhending without blinking, waiting for the opportunity to encircle and annihilate.
When Xie Ai, Duan Wenyang and the other generals saw that Zhixiong had lost his cool and pressed all his forces to encircle and annihilate Yao Yizhong's army, they realized that the opportunity that the army had been waiting for for for a long time had finally appeared.
However, the main general Xie Ai did not immediately attack, and first divided his soldiers and horses into two parts, left and right, and handed them over to Ji Tang and Duan Wenyang respectively. Xie Ai's strength lies in commanding in battle, rather than charging into battle, so he is responsible for the command of the army, and the specific task of fighting has to rely on Duan Wenyang and Ji Tang.
