Ji Chuan is a servant of the wind and dust, and he rushed back from Hengshan County to participate in this military meeting.
Dou Jiande is menacing, Hengshan County, and Zhuo County may be the direction of Dou Jiande's main attack. Himekawa's opinion is, of course, crucial.
In the lobby, everyone sat separately, and Ji Chuan said: "Our army and Dou Jiande compete for Hebei in the autumn, and there are three wins and three benefits. ”
"What is a triple victory?" Li Chongjiu asked.
"The geography wins, the cavalry wins, and the autumn wins." Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Ji Chuan said that Li Chongjiu's advantages lie. Li Chongjiu has Yanyun Tian in hand, this is the geographical advantage, Youzhou has the grassland to help him, but Dou Jiande has a shortage of cavalry, this is the cavalry victory, the decisive battle in autumn, the horses are fat and strong, and there is no heavy rain in the autumn, the land is dry, which is conducive to the cavalry galloping.
Everyone knows this very well.
"So what are the three benefits?"
Ji Chuan glanced at everyone and said: "Three benefits, the early battle is conducive to the late battle, the decisive battle is conducive to the protracted war, and the late strike is conducive to the first strike." ”
When Ji Chuan said this, everyone couldn't help but be puzzled.
Wen Yanbo asked: "Ji Langzhong, if you say it clearly, I think everyone is puzzled." ”
Ji Chuan nodded, and said: "Among the three benefits, the first two benefits are relative to the general trend of the world. If our army fights with Dou Jiande, it will continue to fall into a protracted war, and both sides will lose, and in the end, they can only benefit Li Tang Yuweng. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "These words are deeply in my heart. When the ministers heard this, they were also stunned, and they felt that Ji Chuan was really a golden and jade word.
"What about the preemptive strike that is good for the first strike?"
Ji Chuan said: "Dou Jiande has many generals. The coming strength is far superior to our army, and our army is weak. It is obviously unrealistic to take the initiative to attack. Only by inducing them to attack first, our army will strike later. It can be held according to the danger of Yanyun, and our army will be harassed by light cavalry again, and its grain route will be cut off. Although Dou Jiande's army is numerous, if the esophagus is intercepted, the 100,000 army will be all chickens and dogs, and a battle can be won. ”
After Ji Chuan finished speaking, Xue Wanche, Wang Mahan and other generals spoke together: "Ji Langzhong is extremely right. ”
Wang Jue, who joined the army in the side of the note, said: "Right now, Dou Jiande is based on Boling. Hejian, the three counties of Bohai, bordering my Hengshan County, Shanggu County, and Zhuo County, Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops are in the specialty, and my tens of thousands of troops are scattered in several counties, Dou Jiande is now equal to clenching five fingers and attacking me. ”
Wang Qi finished speaking. A general here hurriedly went to the hall and reported first: "Qi Shanggu Gong, the military situation ahead, Dou Jiande will garrison the army in Gaoyang. And transferred Hebei grain and grass to be stationed here, and now the military grain is being transported in a steady stream. ”
Hearing the general's report, this Wang Jue said: "Dou Jiande is very serious and steady in his use of troops. It didn't rush forward, and it was obviously a steady decision. ”
On the side, Xue Wanche said: "From the map." Take Gaoyang as a place to hoard grain, whether it is Heng Mountain. Shanggu and Zhuo County are all under Dou Jiande's soldiers, and from then on, the troops are used to the three counties, and the grain road is not far away. ”
"Dou Jiande is not an unscrupulous person, he also knows that the 100,000 army is out on the expedition, and the grain road is critical, so it must be heavily armed."
"Since ancient times, defeating the strong with the weak is nothing more than attacking with fire, sticking to counterattacks, and cutting off the enemy's grain route, Dou Jiande is not Yuan Benchu, and it is difficult to fight Guandu again."
There was a lot of talking.
But everyone also knows that Ji Chuan's strategy to lure the enemy into the depths may be difficult to succeed.
Ji Chuan said: "Dou Jiande's main attack direction is uncertain, and now our army has limited strength, and I don't know where to put it into a decisive battle." ”
Now Li Chongjiu's army is being transferred to Jixian from all sides and is being assembled, but the problem is that Dou Jiande is hoarding troops in Gaoyang, and the three counties of Youzhou are all under his troops. Now Dou Jiande is still storing water and building a dam, stationing the main force in Gaoyang, preparing for a thunderous blow, and Li Chongjiu must intercept his main force to face off if he wants to break Dou Jiande.
"Which county is closest to Gaoyang?" Li Chongjiu asked.
"Back to Shanggu Gong, it is Suicheng County of Shanggu County."
Suicheng County, Shanggu County.
On the city walls, soldiers marched back and forth with torches in hand.
"See the prefectural order!"
In the darkness of the night, a man with a long beard walked to the city wall, and the soldiers saluted.
The prefectural commander nodded, and continued to walk, inspecting everywhere.
The lord behind him said in the foreword: "Duke Ming, this newly recruited 300 township soldiers have trained Liu County Lieutenant very effectively, you can see that the morale of the soldiers is very high." ”
The county commander nodded, but there was a lot of worry on his face.
At the beginning of the war in Shanggu County, less than half of the population was in place, and after Li Chongjiu took Shanggu County, due to the insufficient number of households in Suicheng County, it was abolished and merged into Yi County. It wasn't until last year that the shape of Shanggu County improved, and the six counties of Shanggu were restored again, and he was appointed as the county commander of Suicheng County to govern the small county of 2,000 households.
Unexpectedly, less than a year after he took office, the news came that Dou Jiande was coming. Suicheng County is a border county, and there are less than 200 archers and township soldiers in the city, even if you add 300 people who are temporarily recruited, how useful is it in such a battle for the country? can only pray that Dou Jiande will not come to attack the city.
"See Ming Mansion."
As he spoke, a general in leather armor stepped forward to pay respects.
The other party is the one who trained the township soldiers for himself, the county lieutenant of this county. This Zhao County Lieutenant has always had some ability, and has been the head catcher in Yi County for more than 30 years, and has caught hundreds of Jiangyang thieves.
Seeing the other party, the county commander was a little relieved, and said, "Is there any movement in the south?" ”
County Lieutenant Zhao said in a deep voice: "Returning to the county order, I will say bluntly, the rumors are not right these days, I originally hired two horse dealers who went south and north to the south to inquire about the news, but in the past five or six days, I have not heard from them. ”
The county commander's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Could it be that they were caught by mistake?" ”
County Lieutenant Zhao said with a smile: "The Ming Mansion is too worried, they are fine, how can they be arrested, not to mention that I only asked them to bring a message, and I didn't do anything else." ”
"Then why don't you hear from him?"
County Lieutenant Zhao frowned and said, "The only possibility is that the road to the south is blocked. Therefore, you see that since Dou Jiande raised his army, there have only been business trips to the south, and there has been no return to the north. ”
Seeing that the county commander's face was bloodless, County Lieutenant Zhao said: "The Ming Mansion doesn't have to worry, whenever there is a big war and blocking the news, it is also very common, Dou Jiande will not necessarily come to attack us." If we really go all out, we won't be able to dodge, we can't hold it anyway, so there's nothing to worry about. ”
The county magistrate sighed and said: "You said it lightly, as a parent official in this county, I have the responsibility to protect the land, if the matter is coming...... Hey, what to do with all this, it's up to fate, but fortunately, my wife and children are in my hometown and didn't come with me. ”
At dawn the next day, the county commander did not sleep all night, and was supposed to close his eyes in the city tower, when the soldiers came to report and said: "Ming Mansion, there are enemy troops outside the city!" ”
The county commander was taken aback and ran outside the city to take a look, but saw County Lieutenant Zhao standing on top of the city.
"How about it, is Dou Jiande personally here?".
County Lieutenant Zhao said in his heart, the county commander was afraid of being confused, how could Dou Jiande personally attack this small city. County Lieutenant Zhao immediately pointed to the flying banner of the word 'Chen' outside the city, and said: "Ming Mansion, not Dou Jiande, is a general surnamed Chen. ”
Just as the county order was about to speak, a general in front of the Xia army came to the city and said: "I am Chen Hui, the vanguard general of the Xia army, to open the way for my 200,000 army of the Son of Heaven. ”
The county magistrate suddenly changed color and said: "Even if it is a pioneer general, our small city can't resist it." ”
County Lieutenant Zhao said with a sneer: "I heard that the pioneer general of the Xia Army is Gao Shixing, and this unknown person surnamed Chen also dares to impersonate himself. They will come to deceive me. ”
"Slow, we are only five hundred township soldiers, even if we are the vanguard of the Xia army, how can we resist?" The county order is not up or down.
Zhao County Lieutenant said: "Ming Mansion rest assured, we have a favorable location to defend the city, I expect that the front of this city is definitely not where Dou Jiande's vanguard is, otherwise there will not be such a few people." ”
The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "Okay, I'll hand it over to you, and I'll go back to the county office." ”
"No."
After the county order left, the county lieutenant Zhao said: "Beat the drum!" If the enemy comes close, fire the arrows! ”
Youzhou Thorn History Mansion.
Li Chongjiu, Ji Chuan, Wang Qi, and Wen Yanbo are deliberating.
At this time, a general came in and said: "Rapid report, Shanggu County, Hengshan County, and Zhuo County have appeared at the same time as Xia soldiers and horses to attack the city. Hengshan County, Jiumen County, the county commander Liu Shu and the county lieutenant, dedicated the city to the Xia army. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Jiumen County was lost, the main force of Li Chong's Jiufu Army was gathered in the hinterland, and the border counties were all township soldiers, and the old county town should be low, and the township soldiers who had little training could resist Dou Jiande's elite soldiers, which was originally a fool's dream.
Li Chongjiu will not fight for one city or one place with his troops, but the problem is that now he must figure out the direction of Dou Jiande's main attack and then seek a decisive battle. If Dou Jiande's main force has not yet been dispatched, the surrounding counties will fall one after another, it will be too embarrassing.
Wen Yanbo heard the words and said: "Where did Dou Jiande have such abundant troops, and he actually attacked Shanggu, Hengshan, and Zhuojun at the same time. ”
Wang Qi said: "I think it is Dou Jiande's suspicious strategy, among the three roads, there must be one way, which is the main direction of the Xia army's attack, in the view of humble duties, among the three counties, Shanggu County is the most important, if Dou Jiande breaks through Shanggu County, then the connection between Zhuo County and Hengshan and Taiyuan County will be cut off." ”
"No, Hengshan County has the danger of Taihang, but it is the roof of seclusion, and if you take this, you can enter Taiyuan in the west, and Dou Jiande is likely to go here." Ji Chuan objected.
"Then why won't Dou Jiande directly attack Zhuojun and find the main force of our army for a decisive battle?" Wen Yanbo asked.
"It's difficult, because Hengshan County is on the side, if Dou Jiande's main force goes north, our army can advance east from Hengshan County at any time and harass Dou Jiande's grain road, if Dou Jiande's main force attacks Zhuo County, then it's really a good idea."
"That's not necessarily, if Dou Jiande planned to feint to attack Shanggu County from the beginning, then when my main force marched west to reinforce Shanggu County, it would be the time to send troops to Zhuo County and attack the hinterland of our army." Li Chongjiu said in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
