Chapter 57: Ten Directions Raid Bureau
Time without war often passes very quickly.
In the days of war, there is often a feeling that life is like a year, but this kind of busy peaceful days in order to rebuild the homeland gives people the feeling that every day is very fulfilling, and time passes unconsciously.
From 198 to 199 A.D., it felt like a blink of an eye. In the first half of the year, he was busy taking over Wu County and Huiji County, and at the same time, he was shocked to hear the news that the Western Regions Protectorate had been restarted, and finally the discovery of Qinghai Salt Lake made everything in the first half of the year reach a high level. Tide; In the second half of the year, it was relatively calm, and for almost the entire second half of the year, Fang Yun was digesting the harvest of the first half of the year.
With the grain harvest, and the first cotton harvest, a large amount of supplies began to be prepared quickly.
Many people seem to be aware of something in the midst of the frequent movement of such materials. The merchants, in particular, were very sensitive to reduce the number of trips to the south to do business, and there were hardly any caravans going to the Combine's control this year.
The spies of the Combine Army are also not vegetarians, so they naturally realize that something is wrong with the situation. When the news was reported, Liu Sun Cao and the others also immediately increased their preparations for war, but they were very uncertain about where Fang Yun would attack.
The power of their combined army is indeed very large, at least it can be said that most of Yanzhou, as well as the whole of Yuzhou; Even Yangzhou occupies Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, Yuzhang County and most of Danyang County; But this also directly led to the fact that they and Fang Yun's forces were almost in a state of border. Fang Yun could completely attack from any place with heavy troops.
In desperation, the only thing they could do. It is to expand the scope of the defensive line. This reduced the garrison to less than five thousand men in each place. There is only a line of defense facing Sizhou and Jizhou. 30,000 men were placed at each defensive point.
A large number of weapons of war began to be put into use; There are even strategists who are suggesting that they should strengthen the walls and weaken the other party's supplies; The only thing to be thankful for is that they have also invested a lot of money in road construction in the territory under their rule over the years, especially Fang Yun's kind of railway, they have also built two. Even if there is no support there. Other places were also able to quickly move troops over to assist in the defense.
In 198 AD, the same harvest year, Xiang Pet successfully graduated from the military academy and began to serve in the army; Maleonn also completed his short-term studies, and after taking the civil service examination, he became an honorable civil servant; Xiang Lang has officially become the local county commander, from the county magistrate of a remote county to the county magistrate of a first-tier city, and then he is a county-level adjutant.
Xu Shu and Liu Wei also completed their studies this year and became glorious officers. The difference is that Xu Shu went to the Zhou Cangbu to serve as a staff officer, but in fact, Fang Yun planned to let him serve as a staff officer. Learn some things that you can't learn in an officer school;
And Liu Wei, as Liu Yu's grandson, should have been an errand boy in the armed police force. However, because of his strong request, he trained in the army. Fang Yun and Liu Wei would not treat him leniently because he was a member of the royal family, and after being delegated, he served under Zhang Yan.
In this year, Fang Yun also had an eldest daughter, she was as beautiful as her mother, so her name was Fang Qi. What is helpless is that in this year, Zhang Ning, Ren Hongchang and Liu Mei are also pregnant one after another, and they will give birth around August 199.
Fang Yun and Zhen Luo's marriage was also held as scheduled, and this was Fang Yun's third wife. In terms of status, it is higher than Coco Liu and Ren Hongchang. Fang Yun fulfilled his original promise to Zhen Yi, although at this moment he was already an uncle who was about to turn 35 years old.
With the arrival of 199 AD, Fang Yun personally came to the front line with the Liberation Army. This time Yanzhou Raiders, he plans to go to the battlefield in person, and he will meet the heroes of the world! The most important thing is to create the illusion that the main force is here!
Guo Jia and Zuo Ming temporarily served as temporary staff officers, accompanying the army to fight and fill in the gaps for him. It is true that Fang Yun's intelligence is already as high as 185 points, but in a species like humans, there are always some subconscious and subjective consciousness that make them lose the ability to make normal judgments in some specific situations. Even in the proverb, there is the so-called 'dark under the lamp', and 'care is chaotic'.
At this time, it is the most rational choice to have a few more people next to you to check and fill in the gaps.
"There are countless strong generals under the command of the husband, why do you want to go to the battlefield in person like this?" Before the expedition, when he had a short time with his family, Zhen Luo, who had just been married, was very reluctant to let Fang Yun leave her.
"Peace of mind, if you don't go over to play, I won't invite you to the battlefield if you can. Seriously, even if I go to the battlefield, those strong generals won't allow me to go up, right? So you're waiting at home for me to come back, you know? Fang Yun took pity on everyone for a while, and played with Fang Ji, these little children who had begun to enlighten, and then rode to the front line accompanied by Qi.
This decisive battle, Fang Yun didn't mind fighting it as a decisive battle, not just Yanzhou, if the conditions permitted, he would even wipe out the entire coalition government! For this material, they have been preparing for more than half a year, and if they don't gain anything at all, or even just a few county towns, then as a super force, they will simply fail to the extreme.
Ten days later, the army set out from Jinyang and arrived at Puyang City, which had become a front-line position.
Headed by Fang Yun, he commanded 5,000 soldiers and soldiers of the Relief Army, the deputy general was Dian Wei, and Dian Man was also used in the army; Also accompanying the army to the south was Zhang Liaobu, which had 5,000 flying wing battalions, 6,000 light cavalry and 4,000 heavy cavalry. The lieutenants are: Chen Tao, Zhang Wei and Zhang Ji; At the same time, there were 30,000 engineer battalions fighting with the army, led by Liu Pi.
At the same time, the tank armored corps dominated by Xu Le, more than 50 heavy tank vehicles under it, and the crossbow cavalry corps led by Liu Wei, they gathered in Fan County, the purpose of which was the former Dongping Kingdom, which is also the current Dongping County.
Zhou Cang and Xu Shubu, of course, Bu Yuan was also used in the army as a baggage force, and they set off at Tiger Prison Pass, with the purpose of Chenliu County. He commanded 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 war weapons troops were also on standby.
Xu Huang's department, there is a deputy general Zhang Xiu, leading 6,000 horsemen. went south to attack Nanyang County; Han Mengbu. There is a lieutenant general Fan Chou. led 10,000 horsemen, set out from Weiguo County, and attacked Jiyin County; Zang Babu, with adjutant general Sun Guan, led 8,000 infantry to attack Luguo County; Zhao Yunbu, without a deputy general, commanded 3,000 heavenly war horses. The goal was to attack Tran Quoc County; Zhang Hebu, deputy general Gao Lan, led 12,000 horsemen to attack Danyang County; Zhao Libu, deputy general Huang Ran, led 10,000 horsemen to attack Yuzhang County; Yang Fengbu, with the deputy general Huang Xu, led 10,000 cavalry, and the goal was to attack Runan County.
In this way, the ten-way army marched hand in hand. Don't seek to be a camp step by step, only to the maximum. Moreover, it compresses the enemy's range of activity as quickly as possible, constantly weakening their living space. Guo Jia and Zuo Ming have already made preliminary calculations, and they must compress each other in Jiujiang County, so that the best strategy is to encircle and slowly figure out.
At the same time, Fang Yun was not alone, he had already asked Liu Biao for reinforcements to attack Yuzhang County, Lujiang County and Nanyang County. Liu Biao has already given a clear answer, that is, to send Cai Mao to attack Yuzhang County; sent veteran Wang Wei and new Wenpin to attack Nanyang County; Zhang Yun and Huang Zu attacked Lujiang County.
The total number of troops in the three routes is 50,000 people, and it may not be of much help, but it is still possible to let the opponent suffer from the enemy. Of course, if you find a fighter plane and bite off a piece of meat on the opponent's body, it can be regarded as a good gain.
Moreover, Nanyang County itself belongs to Jingzhou, and it is understandable for Liu Biao to take it back.
Faced with Fang Yun's ten-way surprise attack, the combined forces had to face a very important choice.
How do you deal with such a war situation, or where should you give up, or should you give up all of it and look for a way out? It's not that no one has proposed to give up these foundations, and then transfer to Jingnan and Jiaozhou, and even enter the Bashu area to resist, it is best to enter Shu and close the Shu Road, so that the other party can't enter!
Naturally, this proposal was also met with strong opposition, and how could it be possible to give up the foundation that had been laid down with great difficulty? In this way, everyone is fighting to death, what is the result for?
After all, when a force itself has nothing, then the soldiers and soldiers below may still be able to work together, but now there is a huge territory, and the soldiers and soldiers have reached the time to reap their own efforts, let them give up their current brocade clothes and food, and continue to live a life of hard struggle, if the soldiers have no opinion, it would be strange.
"We can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, even if they occupy the whole of Yanzhou. As long as we take the initiative and take advantage of the fact that the opponent's foothold is not stable, we may not be able to achieve the final victory.
On top of that, less territory also allows for a greater concentration of soldiers. In the face of the situation of the enemy's multi-pronged advance, we must carefully mobilize each army, otherwise it will be too late to regret being broken by each of them! Chen Gong put forward the idea of exchanging space for victory.
Now their biggest advantage is to play at home, and there is so much depth that they can use these spaces to drag each other and then slowly figure it out.
"I'm against it!" Zhang Zhao stood up, "If we can assemble, the other party will also assemble, and when the time comes, the opponent's superior forces will quickly assemble, and the threat to us will be greater!" I suggest that we should concentrate our superior forces and break them down on all sides! ”
This can be seen as an improvement over space for victory, but it has to be said that it does make a lot of sense.
"Then why don't we attack Puyang directly? Gather superior forces, directly knock down Puyang, and even cut down that damn Fang Yun, so the other troops on the other side, in addition to retreating, do they have a choice? Cheng Yu put forward his own opinion.
Everyone was describing what they thought was the most powerful strategy, and the scene became a mess. Fortunately, in the process of disputes, opinions were constantly sorted out and unified.
In the end, a plan that everyone considered the most perfect was finally formulated! (To be continued......)
PS: Seriously, this battle really has the idea of simply destroying the Combine Army, it's too much of an eyesore......
