Chapter 906: Shallow Water Plain
There was a big battle in Xiaoguan, and the four kingdoms of Xu, Western Qin, Hou Zhou, and Chen were in a scuffle. The first battle of Jitou Mountain, Xu, Western Qin, and Later Zhou were in a scuffle, the whole army of Qin and Zhou was exhausted, and 50,000 were annihilated, Xue Rengao, the prince of Western Qin, was captured, and Liu Wuzhou, the emperor of Later Zhou, fled alone, and half of Xu's army was killed, more than 30,000.
Immediately afterwards, the Yuwen clan set up an ambush in Chang'an, first poisoned and then pitted, and all 50,000 Qin and Zhou coalition troops were killed.
In the final battle of Xiaoguan, Yuwen Chengtoe led more than 30,000 Xu troops to fall into Chen's army's plan, and the whole army was wiped out. Yuwen Chengzhi finally hated himself, and Xue Rengao, the prince of Western Qin, also became a prisoner of Chen Jun.
This series of battles can be described as ups and downs and suspense. The final result also shocked countless people.
In the current situation, the battle of Xiaoguan is undoubtedly the Qin and Zhou mantis catching cicadas, but Chen Jun is behind the yellow bird. However, although Chen Jun was the victor of the Battle of Xiaoguan, he could not be called the one who had the last laugh now.
"Wei Wensheng led 50,000 soldiers and horses out of Chang'an and galloped west along Jingshui. According to Tanma's report, two days later, Wei Wensheng will arrive at the shallow water plain of the northern land, and in two days he will be able to reach Xiaoguan Guandong. And Yuwen Chengdu has also led 20,000 light horsemen all the way from Tongguan to Xiaoguan, and it is expected that he will arrive within two days after Wei Wensheng arrives at Xiaoguan. Zhang Jin reported the latest movements of Xu Jun one by one.
Chen Kefu frowned: "Yu Wenhua only has two sons-in-law, and now one has died all of a sudden." And this one, he has just shown his extraordinary talent in the art of war. It is estimated that at this time, Yu Wenhua and have already left his anger, with Yu Wenhua and his character of always bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, when the opponent's strength cannot overpower him. He's going to be extremely tough. Yu Culture and it is impossible to only send these two soldiers and horses to come, and Yu Culture will come from all over the country. ”
"For the sake of a dead son-in-law, Yu Wenhua can't be like this, right? What's more, compared to Xiao Guan. Tongguan is the most important gateway in Guanzhong. Yu Qinming, the marshal in charge of guarding the front line of western Liaoning, asked with some doubts.
Chen Kefu smiled, pointed to the sand table and said: "The situation has changed, although Yu Wenhua has always bullied the soft and feared the hard, but this person's vision is not bad, and he is very accurate in judging the situation." In the past, the situation in Guanlong had always been that of all parties containing each other, so that a delicate balance was reached. Yu Wenhua has always wanted to break this game. But it can't be broken. That's why there is the Four-Power Alliance. And now, after the battle of Xiao Guan, this balance has been completely broken. ”
Chen Kefu is right, the situation in Guanlong has completely changed.
The first battle of Xiaoshan. Qin and Zhou were originally hunters, but in the end they became prey. The two countries lost 100,000 soldiers and horses, 50,000 each. Among them, although the 50,000 killed by Xu Guokeng were cannon fodder arranged earlier, the 50,000 who were annihilated in Jitou Mountain were the elite of the two countries. Especially in Western Qin, not only the most elite Iron Eagle Warrior Battalion was wiped out. And even the concubines of the two emperors, the crown prince and the king of Jin, were captured.
The latter Zhou also suffered heavy casualties, and the two countries were wounded by this battle, and the balance between the three kingdoms of Guanlong in the past was completely broken. The Qin and Zhou countries could no longer maintain the posture of advancing against Xu's army. Even defending will be difficult.
After this battle, the coalition forces of the four northwestern countries have collapsed. Chen Jun suddenly captured Xiao Pass. It makes the situation in Guanlong even more complicated. For Yu Wenhua and Xu Guo, this means a huge crisis. Chen Jun inserted Guan Long, and with Chen Jun's strength, it was very likely that Guan Long's original forces would fail in the end. But in the same way, a crisis represents an opportunity. For Yu Wenhua, although Chen Jun is terrifying, but now Chen Jun, who has captured Xiao Pass, has already figured out that it is just a 10,000 light horsemen carried by a boy who has not grown any hair.
If Xiao Guanzhong's Chen army multiplied several times, there were 350,000, or the general commander of the army was Li Jing or Wang Rengong, Luo Yi, Li Benlei, these marshals of the Chen army, maybe Yu Wenhua would reconsider. But Xiao Guanzhong's Chen army was only 10,000, and the leader of the troops was still a little hairy boy who had not heard of it in the past. Then Yu Wenhua's idea is completely different.
Yu Wenhua has enough self-confidence that he can destroy this lone soldier who dares to go thousands of miles deep into the center of Guanlong, and then, Xu Jun took advantage of the weakness of Qin and Zhou at this time to swallow Liu Wuzhou first, and then destroy Western Qin to unify Guanlong.
"Zhang Jin, Chen Shuming, Chen Shuda and Chen Jie, where is the main force led by them to conquer the west now?" Chen Kefu asked.
Xiao Guan is now the central point of the entire Guanlong, and whoever controls Xiao Guan will control the initiative of Guanlong in the next stage. For Chen Kefu and Chen Chao, although the original plan did not directly take Xiao Pass, since Xiao Pass has been taken, Chen Jun's plan must also be appropriately adjusted.
Xiao Guan can't give up, and if he occupies Xiao Guan, he can threaten any of the three parties of Guan and Long. And the most important thing is that now that the three parties of Guan Long have been at their weakest after the previous battle, Guan Long's balance of power has been broken, and if one is not careful, Guan Long is likely to be integrated into one.
Once Guanlong is unified, Guanlong will have no trouble at that time, and will turn around and attack in the direction of the Central Plains and even Hedong.
"Marshal Chen has led the army to sweep away Diaoyin County, and is currently waving troops south to Yan'an. The vanguard of the army has reached the east bank of Luoshui in Shangjun, and at present, the garrison in Longshang is empty, and the army is advancing all the way to the west, no one can stop it, and the situation is very good. ”
"It's too slow." Chen Kefu frowned. According to the current attack speed of the Western Expeditionary Army, it will take at least a month to reach Xiao Pass, and if Liu Wuzhou mobilizes troops and horses to block, then it may take about three months to sweep Xiao Pass.
Chen Kedi can't wait in Xiao Pass, although his performance was remarkable before, but he really wants to fight against Xu Jun's all-conquering army with 10,000 horses, which is too dangerous. Chen Kefu is never willing to take the risk of this!
"Immediately convey my will to the camp of the expedition to the west, and the army of the expedition to the west left 20,000 horses and horses as a battalion step by step, and swept steadily. Let Xiangguo Chen Jie lead the remaining 20,000 elite light cavalry, light cavalry westward, cross Luoshui, all the way to the west. You don't have to storm cities along the way, you just need to pass quickly. After crossing the Luoshui, cross the Meridian Mountain, and enter the Northland from the northeast of Northland County. I asked them to reach the west bank of Jingshui in two days, meet the enemy in the shallow water front, meet Wei Wensheng, inflict heavy damage on Xu's army, and block the enemy attacking Xiaoguan! ”
It was too late to let the soldiers and horses of Zhengxi rush to Xiaoguan for reinforcements as usual, so the only way to send an elite army to intercept the Xu army was halfway.
Xiangguo Fang Xuanling said with some concern: "Wei Wensheng is the general of Sui, and now he is the commander of the army in Guanzhong and Yuwen Chengdu. This time, he led 50,000 elites, although Chen Xiangguo was also born in the army, but he had not been in battle for a long time. And only led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the time was so urgent, I was afraid that "
Fang Xuanling's words didn't come out, but in his words, he was already not very optimistic about this battle. With 20,000 against 50,000, plus Chen's army had to march all the way through the two counties and dozens of cities that Liu Wuzhou still occupied at this time, and rushed to the predetermined battlefield. In addition, the other party is a famous general who has been very famous since the Sui period, and Chen Jie, who has been on the other side, although he was once the deputy commander of the broken military camp, he only commanded three or five thousand people at most. In addition, he abandoned Wu Congwen early and had not fought for many years, so he was outnumbered, and he was still facing a famous general like Wei Wensheng, but it was worrying.
Du Ruhui also reminded at this time: "Your Majesty, in case the war is stalemate, then Yuwen Chengdu will only need more than a day at most, and he will be able to rush to the battlefield of Shallow Waterland." ”
If Wei Wensheng is a famous general, then Yuwen Chengdu is still above him. Chen Jie can stop Wei Wensheng, but if he faces Wei Wensheng and Yuwen Chengdu at the same time, the odds will never exceed one percent.
Chen Kefu naturally understood the worries of the two prime ministers, but at this time, even if he wanted to change in battle, it would be too late. Several commanders of the Western Expeditionary Army, Chen Shuming and Chen Shuda are all royal relatives, in fact, they are better at cultural governance than martial arts. They are in charge of this western expedition, firstly, because the generals and commanders of the DPRK and the Central Committee already have a task, and secondly, they are just letting them put up a name.
Instead of letting them go to the battlefield, it is better to let Chen Jie go, after Chen Jie is also the gate lord of the Li clan in Guanlong, he also fought on the battlefield in Liaodong at the beginning.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Kefu said: "If you can win, you will fight, if you can't win, then retreat into Xiao Pass." ”
It was really helpless to make this decision. Chen Jun has ten commanders and 100 generals, but at this time, he has no generals available.
"Then send an order to Marshal Chen Shuming and ask him to speed up the march as well. The Western Expeditionary Army attacked Diaoyin and captured Shangjun. Then immediately attack Beidi and Andi, and finally enter Pingliang to support Xiaoguan. As for the other counties, let them ignore it for the time being. Liu Wuzhou is now at his weakest moment, and he will definitely transfer the soldiers and horses into the Lingwu lair as soon as possible, as long as we don't touch him for the time being, he won't dare to confront us head-on. Taking Yan'an, Shangjun, Beidi, Anding, and Pingliang counties can not only open up the passage between Hedong and Xiaoguan. We can also occupy the mountain range of the eastern line of Longshan, control the geographical advantages of the plateau, and cut off the passage between Liu Wuzhou and Guanzhong. ”
"Isolated between Guanzhong and Longshang, then Yu Wenhua can't detour behind us, and we can also take the initiative in the hinterland of Guanzhong, contain some of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, so that it is not as good as attacking Xiaoguan with all our might."
"In that case, why not directly attack Guanzhong Chang'an? Wouldn't it be more direct to attack Chang'an from Shangjun along the Luoshui Hole Road to the south, or from the Jingshui Hole Road to attack Chang'an through the shallow water plain? ”
Chen Kefu smiled and shook his head: "Although our army has entered the land of Guanlong now, the number of soldiers and horses that may be drawn is limited. According to Xiao Pass, we can have a strong city to rely on, and defend against each other, which is the biggest advantage. And once we give up this advantage and turn to attack Chang'an, then we are attacking, and the opponent is on the defensive. Not to mention that Chang'an is one of the best fortified cities in the world, even those fortresses and cities on the periphery of Chang'an will also make us shed the last drop of blood before we reach Chang'an City. Without the advantage of soldiers and horses, capturing Chang'an is just a joke. At that time, we can't beat Chang'an, but we will hand over Xiao Guan to others. At that point, all the hard work will be in vain. ”
Rubbing his forehead, Chen Kefu suddenly said, "Send someone to contact Xue Ju immediately, his two sons are in my hands." Now that Xi Qin has just suffered a defeat, it can be said that he has lost his wife and broken his army, and it is estimated that he should also know that once Xiao Guan lets Xu Jun recapture, his Xi Qin will not have much time. Tell Xue Ju that as long as he attaches to Da Chen, I will not only release his two sons, but also ensure that he will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life! ”……)
