5, Gongsun Marting, interpret the attack on Wei Ce

As soon as the generals heard this, Duke Qin ordered Zuo Shuchang to inform him of the attack on Wei Ce, and they were immediately excited, and they all stared at Zuo Shuchang with violent eyes, and even the Wenchen on the right looked at Zuo Shuchang intently.

Zuo Shu Chang also took out a scroll of maps that were the same as those in the hands of Qin Gong, and after majestically sweeping the generals, he handed the map to the sergeant to unfold. After waiting for the head of the map, Zuo Shu Chang Ying began to explain in a stern tone: "Generals! Ministers, At the beginning of the new year, the lord planned to attack Wei Ce. After the plan is completed, leave this strategy to the minister to improve! The minister worked hard and finally perfected the lord's battle strategy the day before yesterday. Today, at the military meeting convened by the lord, two things were announced: First, although this policy was planned by the lord, the lord did not participate, and the minister had been given full authority to take charge of the battle against Wei. Second, the lord was only responsible for the logistics supply of this battle in Liyang, and was assisted by Tsukazai and other ministers to ensure that the front line of Wei was attacked without worries. Therefore, this attack on Wei was decided by the minister. What are your objections? ”

Gongsun Ying has already said this in front of Gong Qin, who still has objections, and dares to have objections? So the audience praised Ruo.

After Gongsun Ying and the audience praised Ruo, he began to talk about the battle strategy: "Everyone! The attack on Wei Ce this time is very simple, it is to take the Yuanli camp as the base, seize Shaoliang City, let Shaoliang, Yuanli and Pinyang form a big triangle to recover the northern base camp of Hexi, and together with the Wucheng, Zhengxian and Chongquan triangle base camps in the south, form a situation of sandwiching the land west of the river, which is the strategic purpose of this attack on Wei.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, let's first look at the military strength of Qin and Wei. From the point of view of overall strength: Qin is far weaker than Wei. From a local point of view, Wei was far weaker than Qin in Hexi. According to this, although Qin was unable to attack Wei on a large scale, he could recover the ancestral land of Hexi in one fell swoop. However, it is still capable of concentrating the local forces of the army west of the Wei River, and devoting all his strength to attacking a city and capturing a place, so on the basis of local advantages, the lord has drawn up a strategic basis for attacking Shaoliang City for the purpose of attacking Wei for the purpose of achieving a strategic purpose. ”

As he spoke, Gongsun Ying stood up from the case, took a wooden stick from the hands of the people of the Gongfu House, pointed at the map unfolded by the two sergeants with the wooden stick, and explained: "Everyone! Take a look at this full map of Hexi. The four cities in the north of Hebei are Yuanli, Duping, Heyang and Shaoliang from south to north, and they are far away from Linjin, Dali and Puban, which are important towns in the south. The distance between Yuanli City, the southernmost city in the north, and Puban, Dali Liangtun Soldier City, and post road in the northernmost part of the south, is 360 li, and the straight-line distance is 320 li. In order to reject Qin in the west, Wei put 80,000 of the 100,000 Hexi troops in the four southern cities. Although there are post roads in the north, most of them are the border panic places of the Qin State, and the land is barren and the people are few, so the four cities in the north only have 20,000 troops. This arrangement in the west of the Weitun River provided the prerequisites for a partial victory for Qin. According to last year's report: The garrison of Heyang is General Wei Hu. Yuanli because Qin was twenty miles opposite Wei Yuanli City, three years ago set up Qin Yuanli camp, Wei Hu stationed 4,000 troops in Wei Yuanli City, and Du Ping, the 1,000 grain guards in the northern grain department, were integrated, and commanded by Wei Army Marshal Xunji. Heyang has a garrison of 5,000 troops at the ferry of the Choke River, which is personally commanded by Wei Hu. Shaoliang is an important city at the northern end of the Great Wall of Wei, with a garrison of 10,000, and the defender will be Wei Hu, the commander of the Wei army, that is, Wei Hu's younger brother Qin. Of the three main generals of the defenders, Wei Hu is a famous general of the Wei army who is known for his calmness and good guarding; His younger brother Wei Hu was known for his cunning, good attack, and wisdom; Xun Ji is the general of the newly rising Shaozhuang faction of the Wei army, and from the perspective of his three years in the Yuanli, he is also a good general.

Therefore, the battle strategy is: to besiege Yuanli and Duping to contain Wei Hu, so that the Heyang army is in danger and unable to take care of Shaoliang; and then go all out to get back Shaoliang, and this battle will be won. If Shaoliang can't take it back, he will capture Yuanli and Duping, and he will finally give up because he can't hold it, but he will be defeated in this battle. Gongsun Ying said this, put down the wooden stick, walked to the central red carpet of the main hall, stood solemnly behind, and after scanning the audience with a majestic and forced gaze, he shouted: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

There was an uproar, the armor sounded chaotically, and the generals stood up when they heard the order, and shouted: "Here!" Please give an order! ”

Gongsun Ying's eyes lit up, staring at Ying He, the head of the war house of the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion, and said: "Major General Ying He, because the Ao Leopard Army has not yet awarded the flag to become an army, it is not qualified to participate in the meeting. Now you will participate in the meeting instead of the Ao Leopard Army, and accept the military order! ”

Ying He walked out in a stride, and after a chest-beating salute, Hong Liang received the order: "Yes!" "After receiving the order, retreat and return to his position.

Gongsun Ying then looked at the row of generals opposite and began to explain the task: "Generals! Now from his post, he began to explain to the generals the tasks of the generals in this battle. You listen carefully, and the specific battle orders will be issued to you. ”

After beating their chests and saluting, the generals replied coarantically: "Yes!" ”

Gongsun Ying still did not smile, with a solemn face, and slowly explained: "This battle is divided into three aspects.

1. The general Ju Wang, led 10,000 troops to besiege Yuanli and Duping, cut off the Heyang reinforcements and between Duping and Heyang, and firmly contained Wei Hu between Heyang and Duping, and won in five days. The battle of Dupin was mainly based on containment killing, supplemented by siege; Of course, after Shaoliang City is recaptured, if there is a chance to completely annihilate Wei Hu, it will be a big victory, but don't do it intentionally.

2. The general Pangu, led 10,000 troops and 10,000 troops to reclaim the southern army, a total of 20,000 troops, and fortified forty miles away from Dali. The task is to cut off the retreat of the enemies of Heyang and Duping and cut off the connection between the north and the south, and prevent the enemy in the south from rushing to the north; For six days, do not allow the enemies of Dali and Puban to cross your defenses.

3. Major General Ao Bao led the 10,000 Ketou Army to attack Shaoliang City for three days. The 10,000 troops of the lieutenant general Zhao Ling were the auxiliary army of Shaoliang. The siege of Shaoliang was commanded by Major General Ao Bao. He and Lieutenant General Zhao Ling are mobile troops, mainly defending against the enemy in Hedong.

Fourth, the general Baihu led the lieutenant general Ren Gu army of 10,000, stationed in the Yuanli camp, in the center to respond, maneuver the enemy of Heyang and the reinforcements of the southern Wei, and then ensure the response after the defeat of our army, and dispatch the command, coordinate the overall situation, and take the overall command for the army to capture Shaoliang.

Generals! Shaoliang is the northwest gate of the river. After seizing this city, the party used the camp of Qin Yuanli and the county of Pinyang to form the support of the large triangle in northern Qin. Only after the formation of this large triangle support, the Qin side seized the base to attack Wei and recover Hexi. Shaoliang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is only separated by a river from the shore gate. There were 40,000 Wei troops stationed at the shore gate, so the time to attack Shaoliang was set in midsummer, when the river was rising.

The enemy of the shore gate, Aiding Shaoliang can only make a detour from Heyang at this time, and it will take four days at the earliest. Therefore, the five armies and the two armies will win quickly in this battle. From now on, the generals will begin to train the army, especially the coordination between the various armies, and the ability of the two mobile armies to run long distances is of paramount importance. ”
