Chapter 458: Pull a hair and move the whole body
Youzhou, the military capital is closed. β§ Top Novel, www.
At the temporary headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department of Taisun Mansion, a large group of young staff officers went in and out, and the news was gathered here from all over the place, and then after rapid analysis, it was reported, and finally the staff officers marked it on the sand table and the turf, and then the staff officers carried out deductions and calculations, and finally reported to Pei Zeng, the director of the Military Intelligence Department.
"Report Director, there's a lot of movement from the enemy today." A young staff officer reported to Pei Zeng with a report.
"A lot of changes? What is the change, and what is the specific situation? As soon as Pei Zeng heard the word "a lot of changes", he immediately became keenly aware that there was an important situation. The staff officers of the intelligence service, although they are all young, are absolutely professional and do not have a habit of exaggerating. They are all from the bottom of the Huaihuang Army, they are the former combat elites, and they all have the resume of the low-level officers who have been the commanders of the army, not only have fought bravely in the front line of the battle to kill the enemy, have a good appearance, and have been commended, but also have been selected into the lecture hall for special staff training, for intelligence aggregation, analysis, participation in the command of the troops to draw up battle plans, is the elite of the Huaihuang Army, these young staff officers will eventually return to the army, as middle-level officers, and hold more senior positions in the future.
"Huai'an City sent a flying letter early in the morning, the Daman Department outside Huai'an City had an abnormal movement of troops and horses yesterday morning, and it was observed that since the morning, the Daman Army outside the city has been constantly moving, and several troops and horses have left."
"In addition, our intelligence officers in Flying Fox City in Ulzhou sent back a secret report that yesterday there were frequent heralds in and out of the Turkic military camp outside Flying Fox City, and early this morning, only part of the Turkic army outside Flying Fox City remained. Most of the rest of the army left the camp with about 10,000 soldiers and horses and headed north. β
The staff officer continued, "There are several other pieces of information. All indicate that the Turks moved a lot. This is the information we have put together, which is already on the map. Superintendent, please take a look. The staff officer handed Pei Zeng a marked map.
Pei Zeng took the map, put it on the table, and looked at it carefully. In the entire Daibei region, except for the troops and horses of the Plug Nilina Army, there is no news for the time being, and the rest of the Shuozhou Northern Capital Blue Division, the Fuzhou West Daman Division, the Ulzhou West Daman Division, as well as the Fuzhou East Kuhezhen Division, and the Ulzhou East Kuhezhen Division, these large clusters of Turkic soldiers and horses are all mobilized. And on the basis of this information, the staff officers finally found a central point on the map. The Tiancheng area at the junction of Shuo Fei.
"What are the results of your analysis?" Pei Zeng's face became solemn.
"Our preliminary analysis is that something big must have happened in Tiancheng, and according to the current intelligence analysis, we conclude that General Li Jing may be in Tiancheng right now."
Pei Zeng's expression became even more solemn, "Li Jing may be in Tiancheng?" Don't you have the exact location of Li Jingbu? β
The young staff officer said with some apologies: "I have lost the news of General Li Jing since yesterday, and I have not been able to contact him until now." β
"But wasn't Li Qian's department still in the east of the Yanghe River near Huai'an the day before yesterday, why did he suddenly run to Tiancheng, a hundred miles south of Huai'an?"
"There is insufficient intelligence, and we cannot draw conclusions, but judging by the movement of the Turks, it is very likely that General Li Jing is in Tiancheng now. Moreover, the traces were discovered by the Turks, and the Turks united their tribes and surrounded them on all sides. β
Pei Zeng got up, "You go with me to see His Royal Highness Taisun immediately." Report this information to the grandson immediately. β
The military capital is Guanjun's Mansion, which is already a temporary marshal's camp at this time.
Pei Zeng urgently asked for an audience and asked the accompanying staff officers to truthfully report to Yi Feng the intelligence and intelligence analysis received by the Military Intelligence Department.
"Your analysis is probably correct. Li Jing is most likely in Tiancheng right now, and if I'm not mistaken. Li Jing must have done something very bullish, otherwise the Turks would not have reacted so much. I've got an update from Tekko to talk to you about. At dawn yesterday, in a camp on the east bank of the Sheep River in Daman, outside the city of Huai'an, 3,000 Turkic soldiers in the camp were raided, suffering heavy casualties, and when the Turks arrived, they only found more than 1,000 corpses, but they did not even know who the attackers were. In my opinion, there is no doubt that this must be the handiwork of Li Jing. Now that we have taken the information from your military intelligence department, it is not surprising that the Turkic tribes are flocking to Tiancheng for their abnormal behavior. Now we can speculate that after Li Jing raided the 3,000 Turkic army on the east bank of the Yang River outside Huai'an at dawn yesterday, he quickly turned south, and then he attacked Tiancheng. Judging from the reaction of the Turks to such a big movement, Li Jing's traces in Tiancheng were leaked, so he led the Turks to surround them on all sides. β
"Li Jing only has 3,000 light cavalry, and the total number of troops and horses mobilized by the Turkic departments may exceed 50,000, or even less than 60,000, which is a combination of 20 times the force, and Li Jing's troops are very dangerous." Pei Zeng was worried.
"Convene the generals." Yi Feng instructed Li Mi.
The generals of the military capital rushed to the gates, and Pei Zeng informed the generals of the latest information, explaining the possible predicament of Li Jing's subordinates now.
"Someone should be sent to inform Li Jing immediately, so that he can evacuate Tiancheng and highlight the encirclement." Su Xiaoci was the first to speak.
"It may be too late, if Li Jing's troops have already captured Tiancheng, then they should simply enter Tiancheng and defend the city." Liu Xingben also put forward his own Jianyì. The encirclement of tens of thousands of troops is not so easy to jump out of the encirclement, and the key is that in addition to these tens of thousands of troops, the area occupied by the Turks for hundreds of miles is still there. Instead of risking a breakthrough, it is better to retreat into Tiancheng. Of course, the premise is that Li Jing has captured Tiancheng County.
"Even if Li Jing guards Tiancheng, Tiancheng is just a small city, with no food and no ordnance to replenish, and under the siege of tens of thousands of troops, it can't be defended for a long time."
"Then are we just sitting back and watching Li Jing's subordinates be surrounded and annihilated?"
"If you want me to say that Li Jing's subordinates should not be in danger, he should have entered Huai'an City as soon as possible, and now this is the case, not only his subordinates are in danger, but also Huai'an is in danger, and even Daning Pass is also in danger."
Yi Feng had to interrupt this assertion, "Now is not the time to discuss responsibility, not to mention that the battle plan of Li Jing's department was also discussed and approved by us after it was reported. Now we need to discuss how to deal with this situation, and we will try to find a way to do it. β
"Do you want to send troops to the rescue?" Qin Qiong asked.
Liu Wenjing wanted to speak and stopped, and the grandson had set the tone for this battle before, that is, to try not to fight with the Turkic waves. To maintain strength, defend the city. Now if Li Jing is in danger. And Taisun had no choice but to send an army to rescue, which would be contrary to the original law. In order to rescue Li Jing, the Huaihuang army may have to fight head-on with the Turks in the field, and they may have to pay huge casualties at that time. It's just that he can't oppose Qin Qiong's mention of this, after all, he is not willing to sit idly by and let Li Jing's troops let the Turks encircle and annihilate.
Yi Feng thought about it, and finally shook his head, "It's not realistic to send troops to the rescue, how many soldiers do we have to send to the rescue?" Less, only oil, more. Then we had to fight the Turks in the field, which was also inconsistent with the strategy we had set at the beginning. It would be foolish for us to give up our superiority, to abandon the fortification of the walls and to go out into the field to fight the Turks. β
"Then will we give up Li Jing's department?" It was Lai, a very upright young general who spoke. Many of the older generals and officials present shook their heads secretly in their hearts, General Lai is still too young, how can he say such a thing, isn't this putting Taisun in an embarrassing situation. But what surprised them. Yi Feng didn't get angry, but said seriously, "No, I oppose sending troops to rescue Li Jing." Because it's not a good plan. However, I don't want to give up Li Jing's department. β
"So what to do?" Let's continue to ask.
"Find a way to help Li Jing's department tide over this crisis." Yi Feng was absolutely unwilling to give up Li Jing lightly, especially when Li Jing showed such excellent command skills. What's more, Li Jing also commanded 3,000 Huaihuang cavalry. Whether it's Li Jing. Or 3,000 Huaihuang cavalry, which are all precious. Moreover, Li Jing's department is more than that, Li Jing has a Po Shi in his hand, and there are many Turkic troops. In any case, Yi Feng couldn't just give up on Li Jing. But as he said, he can't just send troops to the rescue, that's not a rescue, that's fueling.
"Maybe we're going to have to remake our plans." Yi Feng said after a half-loud groan.
Yi Feng got up and walked to the sand table in the hall, and he looked at the sand table carefully. "Director Pei, now the information we have obtained is that Daman, Dulan, and Kuhezhen all have troops and horses transferred, so they want to surround Tiancheng, right?"
Pei Zeng nodded, "That's right, the three major clusters are sending troops in five directions, and they are facing Tiancheng." β
While speaking, Pei Zeng pointed out the place where the troops were sent on the sand table, "There are about 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Daman Department of Huai'an City, Fuzhou, who left the south, and it is estimated that it may be Daman's personal rate." β
"Hmm." Yi Feng nodded, took a small blue flag and planted it under Huai'an City, and then took ten of the cavalry puppets under Huai'an City, representing 10,000 cavalry and put them in the south position.
"Guangling in Ulzhou, about 10,000 soldiers and horses belonging to the Daman Department also left the city and went north."
Yi Feng planted a blue flag in Lingqiu City, and pulled out ten cavalrymen from there.
"Ulzhou, subordinate to the soldiers and horses of Kuhezhen, about 10,000 of them also camped west."
Yi Feng planted another blue flag in Ulzhou City, and at the same time pulled out ten cavalry.
"Yuzhou Huailai, Kuhezhen battalion of 30,000 soldiers and horses, also divided 10,000 soldiers and horses to the south. In addition, the 50,000 troops of the Dulan Department in Yunnei transferred about 20,000 soldiers and horses to the east and north. β
Yi Feng planted another banner in each of Huailai and Yunnei, and then pulled out three cavalrymen.
"Sixty thousand Turkic soldiers and horses are closing in on Tiancheng." Yi Feng looked at the sand table and muttered for a long time, and finally said: "The Turks can transfer troops, and we can also transfer them." Yi Feng pointed to Huailai City, which was close to the west of the military capital Guan, "Since Kuhezhen has transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from here, then we will send a team of soldiers and horses out of the capital pass." β
"Attacking Huailai?" The generals are puzzled.
"Harass them, make an offensive posture, but don't really fight, in short, let Kuhezhen feel the pressure and let him transfer those 10,000 soldiers back."
"And Huai'an." Yi Feng pointed to Huai'an City with a blue flag planted again, "Send someone to urge the 10,000 infantry troops to reinforce Huai'an, let them speed up a little, and put some pressure on the Daman Department under Huai'an City." Since Daman dares to leave only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to surround Huai'an City, then we have to let him know something. If Dammam withdraws his troops, then play slowly with him, and don't start fighting. But if he dares to continue south, then attack the soldiers and horses he has left behind and find a way to defeat them. β
"It's the same here in Ulzhou, let Li Yuan and them also be ready, send a force of troops and horses to harass and contain the Turkic soldiers in Ulzhou, and put pressure on them."
"Send someone to send a letter to Ma Yi again, and ask them to go north for reinforcements."
That's all he can do, Yi Feng can only find a way to contain some of the Turkic forces, but he can't really attack in an all-out way. It's not time to fight back yet, but if Li Jing can play to his level, Yi Feng believes that with his mobilization and coordination, then Li Jing will not be able to survive this round of crisis. And Yi Feng believes in Li Jing.
The military orders were passed down one by one, and Li Keshi also released one carrier pigeon after another according to the order.
The military capital was closed, and the scouts of Kuhezhen's department suddenly found that the military capital, which had been closed, closed the city gate, suddenly opened slowly, and the drawbridge was also lowered.
"Quick, go back immediately to report to the special service, the Sui people are out of the customs, and there are about 20,000 Sui troops and horses, and they are in battle under the pass."
The scout turned on his horse and ran quickly towards the camp of Kuhezhen, who had come from his arms.
"Report! ο½β
"Report to the special service, the southern barbarians are out of the customs, and the 20,000 southern barbarian army is in battle under the military capital, ready to kill."
When Dulan Khan's uncle Kuhezhen, who was drinking in the big tent, heard the news, his hands trembled, and a lot of wine spilled. "You said those southern barbarians finally stopped being shrunken turtles and were willing to go out of the city to fight?"
"Back to the special service, yes."
"Hahaha." Kuhezhen laughed for a while, drank all the wine in the cup, and then threw the cup into the corner of the tent, "Great, the Southern Barbarians are finally willing to fight, I thought they would shrink in that gate for the rest of their lives." Great, pass on the order of the special service, and immediately prepare for battle. By the way, immediately send someone to chase back the 10,000 horses that were just sent to Tiancheng. β
"Special service, those soldiers and horses have been gone for a while."
"Just chase it back."
"But have you already promised the Dammam Special Service to send troops to help him?" One of the leaders asked.
"That's because the southern barbarians in the military capital pass were unwilling to fight, and now since they are unwilling to come out to fight as shrunken turtles, then we naturally have to destroy them under the pass, our side is important, and Daman on Tiancheng's side will do it himself." Ku Hezhen was very helpless in the face of the military capital Guan Sui army in the turtle shrinkage city these days, and in the face of high walls and dangerous passes, he had to let the captured Han craftsmen keep manufacturing siege equipment day and night, but the progress was too slow. Now that Sui Ren is willing to get out of the customs, how can he miss it. As for Daman, what about him, his affairs, how can it matter from his own side!
