It is inconvenient for Liu Yi to foresee what may happen in the future, and now Cao Cao is still forbearing, after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, there seems to be no big movement, and he has to get the Qingzhou Army and get a large area of power in the Central Plains After the world really faces him, so, beware of Cao Cao's coming to seize the emperor, let alone say.
I had to agree with Xi Zhicai's Jian Yì and said: "That's fine, let's first transfer 20,000 soldiers from Luoyang, and transfer the defenders of the Tiger Prison and Bishui armies to participate in the battle." ”
"Okay, my subordinates will immediately transfer 20,000 sergeants to the Tiger Prison and Bishui Pass." Xi Zhicai continued: "In addition to the Tiger Prison, Bishui, Wancheng and other gates that need to be guarded by heavy troops, other towns, I think those soldiers and horses can also be transferred to Luoyang, Luoyang Capital, can stay 100,000 troops in case of accidents. Other military forces can be thrown into it all, and the battle will be decided! ”
"I think so, then let's talk about the detailed battle plan." Liu Yi didn't think too much about it and directly agreed with Xi Zhicai's statement.
"General Huang Xu, he led his headquarters and General Xu Zhu to lead the main army to attack Hongnong County, even if he couldn't attack it for a while, he would firmly besiege Hongnong County. so that they can no longer send troops to support other places. General Taishi Ziyi, as the supreme commander of this crusade against Dong Zhuo, can command the whole army, lead tens of thousands of military horses from the military academy, sit in Caoyang, attack from Caoyang to Jiaguan, take it in one fell swoop, and then attack from Shaanxi Pass, press Hangu Pass, and cut off the retreat of Dong Zhuo's army in Hongnong County. In addition, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Shen Yong and other generals, divided their troops into multiple routes, attacked the towns in Hongnong County, and paid special attention to the need to eliminate the wandering Dong Zhuo army, and must not let them flow into our jurisdiction, because most of Dong Zhuo's troops are cavalry, so I built yì. A general should be sent to command the cavalry to carry out a quick and effective attack on Dong Zhuo's cavalry. ”
"Also, my lord. Of the more than 40,000 horses you brought back from Dazepo, except for 10,000 cavalry, the rest will be led by the lord's father-in-law to attack Lushi County. Xi Zhicai said: "The lord just fought a big battle with the Montenegrin thieves in Montenegro, and his sergeants have enough experience in mountain and forest warfare, Lu." The terrain may be more dangerous than that of the Black Mountain region, so the lord must be careful. ”
To the north of Lushi County, less than two hundred miles, is the world-famous Huashan, since ancient times Huashan is steep and majestic, that is famous. Lushi County can be said to be basically some steep mountainous areas. There are some primeval mountains and forests everywhere, and Zhang Jitun has tens of thousands of soldiers there, and it is really not easy to attack him.
In fact. From the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum to the west, thousands of miles away, there are some lofty mountains, that is, the Qinling Mountains, that mountain range, I don't know how many times wider than the Taihang Mountains. The Black Mountain area on the edge of the Taihang Mountains is so dangerous, not to mention the Qinling Mountains.
"Zhang Ji of the Lu clan, it is impossible to completely eliminate it, it is controlled by the terrain. The attack may not be fast, but as long as we contain Dong Zhuojun there, we can calmly deal with Dong Zhuojun in Hongnong County. Jia Xu added: "Our first battle against Dong Zhuo is not only to be defeated, but also to be within the least cost. Eliminate all the Dong Zhuojun who are still in Hongnong County, and they must not be allowed to flee back to Chang'an. With Dong Zhuo's current strength, it is estimated that it is one-third of his total strength in Hongnong County, and if we can completely eliminate these troops, this will also be a great blow to Dong Zhuo, and it will also be extremely beneficial to our future operations. Therefore, everyone must be clear about the significance of our attack on Dong Zhuo this time. ”
"It is expected that there is not much problem in capturing the towns around Hongnong County, and the most critical thing is the battle to finally besiege Hongnong County, so once the war starts, in order to avoid the loss of our own army by forcibly attacking the city, we will first besiege it for a period of time, so after the cities and towns are captured, as long as the armies leave enough troops to maintain the normal order of the place, the remaining sergeants need to drive to Hongnong County to participate in the battle of besieging Hongnong County."
Jia Xu continued with Xi Zhicai's words: "For every town I capture, I will send officials to take over the government there, and then according to our regulations on the resettlement of the people, we will help and resettle the local people. In the future, every upright siege war will adopt such a method, and after the arrival of officials, the government will be reorganized, and the remaining sergeants will be temporarily transferred to the government. ”
The four major military divisions, you and I will tell you the whole plan of how to capture Hongnong County in detail.
It seems that this council cabinet is really effective, they make a battle plan together, and they don't have to think so much about it, and their plan is more detailed than the temporary plan.
They took into account some of the pre-war, wartime, post-war things.
For example, the preparations before the battle, according to the special situation of the towns and cities that each of their generals were going to attack, how many troops they were to be allocated, what kind of troops their non-commissioned officers were, the weapons used by the sergeants, and so on, all took into account, and it can be said that as long as the commander-in-chief of the army attacked in accordance with the plan and guidelines he had formulated, it was absolutely impossible for them to fail to attack the towns and cities they were going to attack. During the war, if there is any change, how the sergeants will deal with it, they have taken it into account, and in addition, the rescue and resettlement of the wounded sergeants have also been arranged. With the military doctor, Liu Yi proposed to set it up early, especially Liu Yi personally taught some common sense of emergency battlefield rescue to the people below, and now, basically, among every person, there will be a sergeant who knows how to bandage and stop bleeding, which is specially assigned to centralized training, I don't want them to know too much, let them understand some simple work of battlefield rescue. For example, some soldiers who have been wounded by a knife need someone to disinfect and bandage them urgently, so that they do not end up crippled or lose their lives due to a small wound. Soldiers who know how to bandage will carry alcohol, gauze, and so on.
The wine is naturally not pure alcohol, it is a high-grade wine made by their own winemaking workshop, which can be used for disinfection, in addition, let them carry some salt, when there is no wine, they can use salt water to reduce inflammation.
Anyway, there are really no big or small things, and they have all been taken into account.
The plan to attack Hongnong County is not too much of a problem. The meaning of Xi Zhicai and others was to start the attack as much as possible, and the main reason was similar to the reason why Liu Yi was in a hurry to join forces with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to attack Zhang Yan in Montenegro. Because it is now the summer harvest period, and the people have already begun to harvest grain, Dong Zhuojun will definitely take the opportunity to loot grain. Especially in the Luoyang area, under the rule of Xun Wenruo and his uncles Xun Shuang, Yang Biao and others, rice was planted everywhere, and they were afraid that Dong Zhuo's army would penetrate the defense line. Go into your own place and wreak havoc.
Therefore, even if Gan Ning has not sent the siege equipment so quickly, they still want to launch an attack as much as possible, as long as they besiege Dong Zhuo's army in Hongnong County, and then wait for Gan Ning to send the siege equipment, then it will be the future of the defenders of Hongnong County.
So, herein lies the problem. In Hongnong County, there are tens of thousands of troops, almost 100,000, and the army that can be used by themselves, 200,000, besieged 100,000 people with 200,000, I am afraid that it will be difficult to besiege them, if they want to break through. The army has launched a siege, and there will be weakness, so. Whether the defenders in Hongnong County can be besieged is a question.
Fortunately, this problem did not affect the four major army divisions, and they decided to adopt the plan of encircling three and missing one, as if leaving the defenders in the county city a way to escape, but they were ambushed halfway, if they dared to abandon the city and escape. A large number of troops will be destroyed.
In addition, if Tai Shici's actions can quickly capture Jiaguan, and then the army is blocked outside Hangu Pass, so that Dong Zhuojun, who escaped from Hongnong County, has nowhere to escape. At that time, in addition to surrendering, they only had to return to Hongnong County to defend the road, but if they returned to Hongnong County, they were also waiting for death. Sooner or later, it is the road to surrender, or death.
Take Hongnong County. The rest is a matter of how to follow up the attack, but there doesn't seem to be much to talk about. Pass after pass, blocking the way to Chang'an, if you want to attack Chang'an, you must open the passes. At this time, Dong Zhuo will also make his subordinates stand by and defend the pass, and will never let Liu Yi attack and kill Chang'an. Therefore, Yiqiē has to capture Hongnong County first, and completely control a complete Luoyang region in his hands.
Liu Yi didn't say much, and immediately appointed General Tai Shici as the commander of the whole army, and he coordinated the operation of the whole army, and the four major military divisions assisted him in issuing military orders and giving advice to Tai Shici. In addition, Huang Xu, the general of the expedition to the west, and Xu Zhu, the general of the expedition to the east, were the deputy generals and acted in command of the army respectively. The rest, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, also have their own military orders.
The plan is decided, and then the preparations are made, and each general has his own command and task, and he must prepare what needs to be prepared before sending out the troops.
Pre-war preparation is nothing more than mobilizing the sergeants, raising the morale of the sergeants, and then, preparing armor, weapons, food and grass, and so on.
Some armies will not send logistical baggage support, so the sergeants have to go to receive enough military rations for them to carry out a combat mission. The sergeant brought his own dry rations for a few days.
Armor and weapons must be replaced with the most sophisticated ones, if there are not so many of them, there is nothing to say, but no matter what, keep the sergeant in the best mental state to attack. Especially those archers, they have to use a lot of bows and arrows, and if the ordnance department can't make so many arrows, they also have to make some arrows for backup. Each archer carried three quivers, and hundreds of arrows were required.
Some of their arrows are sharp iron arrowheads, which are heavy and longer than ordinary arrows, and these are arrows used to break armor. Although there is an iron mine in Dongting Lake Xinzhou, Liu Yi is not too short of steel to make a small arrowhead. However, although there is a lot of manpower to make so many arrows, many arrows are still saved from the original system and then transported to Luoyang.
If there was a shortage of arrows, the sergeant would carry a barrel of arrows and find some hardwood or bamboo branches to make the arrows, or make the arrows into rockets.
Arrows without arrows, those made of hardwood or bamboo, are just as sharp, and although they cannot pierce armor, they can also penetrate the enemy's body if they are shot in a place where the enemy is not armoured.
At this time, the people were busy with the summer harvest, so they did not mobilize too many people to help prepare for this expedition. Including the people who were responsible for transporting heavy food to the main force of the war, they were all transferred from the regular defenders of Luoyang, and ordinary civilians were not recruited.
It can be said that this expedition against Dong Zhuo was carried out quietly, except for the people who participated in the discussion and the sergeants who received orders to prepare for the expedition, many people did not know that a big war was about to begin.
Considering that Liu Yi had just returned from Dazepo and had experienced such a big battle in Montenegro, the sergeants below might be a little tired. So, we gave everyone five days to rest and prepare.
Under the circumstance that Dong Zhuojun did not take the initiative to attack himself, Liu Yi still has the initiative to attack Dong Zhuo, and he can fight whenever he wants. As long as it doesn't take too long.
Liu Yi was responsible for attacking the Lu clan, asked Guo Jia to come, let Guo Jia be his military advisor, let him be responsible for supervising the army, and in addition, handed over the 10,000 cavalry brought back from the Dazepo base to Yan Liang, and let Yan Liang, the defender of Luoyang City, be used as a cavalry for mobile attacks. From him formed a cavalry army of 30,000 cavalry.
In this way, the more than 30,000 soldiers under his command were divided into three armies, which were led by Dian Wei, Guan Chun, and Geng Wu as the main generals. In addition, Liu Yi's 2,000 personal soldiers were led by the one-armed general Zu Mao, and now, Zu Mao has been faintly led by Liu Yi's personal soldiers. The one-armed Zumao. It has also become the talk of many sergeants.
The reason why Liu Yi wants Guo Jia to come is to start completely curing Guo Jia's body, Liu Yi doesn't want Guo Jia to die young like in history. There is also Guo Jia's mother, now she is still in Dongting Lake, when Liu Yi sends someone to bring Zhang Shao, Cai Yan and others back, they will pick her up together, her illness is more strict than Guo Jia, and now it has been delayed for another half a year, and she has to start healing, otherwise, she may die earlier than Guo Jia. Other than that. is also a drama Zhicai who died young, he has spent a lot of time with Liu Yi, and it has been several years now, and Liu Yi usually sends him Yuanyang True Qi to nourish his body. Now, Xi Zhicai's complexion is quite good, and his face doesn't seem to be as dark as before. The dark clouds are gone, and when he laughs, he also makes people feel a sense of pride, and I don't know if it is the effect of Liu Yi's Yuanyang true qi, or the happy relationship he has with several of his wives and concubines. Well...... Or, Liu Yi's Yuanyang true qi also has an aphrodisiac effect, so that this guy can enjoy all the blessings, so he will be so proud.
Of course, Liu Yi was even more proud at the moment, and after handing over the matter to the people below to prepare, Liu Yi stayed with the women almost every day in the past few days. Among them, Liu Yi also accompanied the women to swim the street twice, the first time, because of the people's recognition, the enthusiasm of the people, the guide Liu Yi was unable to move an inch on the street, and the women, accepting gifts from the people or some businessmen, were too busy to come, and they were not able to enjoy the fun of shopping at all. Therefore, the next day, Yin Xiao changed Liu Yi's face, turned Liu Yi into an ugly middle-aged man, and in this way, Fang may have gone shopping with Liu Yi satisfactorily, satisfying the woman's natural desire to shop.
This time, Liu Yi also deliberately went to the street where Liu Laoshi sold tofu flowers.
Liu Laoshi joined the army, but his mother's mother was still at home and had a boy, so his wife asked a distant nephew to help reopen the tofu shop.
I have to say that Liu Laoshi's tofu flower is really good, just like Liu Xue's skin, it is watery and smart, and when you eat it, it is fragrant and smooth.
Liu Yi brought Liu Xue out of the palace, although he hadn't accepted her as a woman yet, but it seemed that it was almost the same, and to bring her out was to let her come back to see her mother.
In addition, Liu Yi also took the time to follow Zou to her Zou family, who had resettled in Luoyang, to have a look, and Zou's parents naturally knew about Liu Yi and Zou's affairs, and Liu Yi was naturally very happy when he came to his house.
and Mrs. Zhang, after Liu Yi's treatment in the past few days, her injured vocal cords seem to have shown signs of recovery, and she can barely pronounce different tones, and she is no longer all dumb. This made her very fond of it, and what made her even happier was that her family finally had news, although his Zhang family was also looted by Dong Zhuojun, but the Zhang family was also very famous in Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo was also a greedy person, so he did not harm Mrs. Zhang's family, and now, his family is in Chang'an, making wine for Dong Zhuo.
As long as they don't die, they will have a chance to rescue them to Luoyang, and now, Liu Yi is also ready to attack Dong Zhuo, as long as he goes to Chang'an, then rescuing her family is not too much of a problem.
So, Mrs. Zhang was very happy.
In order to completely heal her injured throat, Liu Yi decided to take her with him this time, this kind of treatment is not good to continue, if you want to treat, you will be cured at one time, so as not to leave anything behind.
It is said that everyone was given five days to prepare, but in fact it was six days earlier. It's just that Liu Yi's army and horses have to go to the upper reaches of Luoshui, which is farther away, to attack the Lu clan, so it will take a whole day to set off in five days before it is possible to reach the destination, so the actual attack time is set for the morning of the seventh day. At that time, all military horses would attack Dong Zhuojun at the same time, and the whole army would be out of order, and Dong Zhuojun would be caught off guard. (To be continued.) )
