Chapter 182: Division of Troops
Meng Fu and the others were silent in thought, waiting for Lian Po to make the final "decision". Everyone knows very well that it is impossible to take care of the interests of all countries, this is a game, and since it is a game, there are always losers and winners. At this time, each country's hole cards become very important.
Lian Po kept everyone's looks in his heart one by one, many people suffer from gains and losses, and everyone can take risks for the sake of profit, but if they take a huge risk and cheapen others, this is the problem of saving zài. However, this time it is actually to destroy Qin, not to destroy Qin, and it is what Lian Po wants to master.
didn't let everyone wait too long, Lian Po's loud and calm voice sounded in the big tent, "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the intelligence that our country has and the analysis of my years of marching experience, I thought that our six-nation alliance army would be divided into two ways to attack Qin. All the way, I Zhao State, Yan State, Qi State as the mainstay, sent troops to Hexi County, bypassing Hangu Pass through Luoneshi County; Along the way, it was mainly based on Korea, Wei, and Chu, and sent troops to Yaoguan and Hanzhong to distract Qin's attention. If the action is smooth, the army will converge in Xianyang, and if it is unfavorable, then step by step and occupy a few fortresses! ”
"Two soldiers?" Everyone never expected that Zhao Guo, who had always had a strong desire for power, would be willing to divide his troops. The gathering of 300,000 troops was certainly powerful, but in the end, it was difficult to move. If it is divided into two branches, it will be much cheaper to move. However, how to distribute power is a very important matter, and if it is not done well, it will set the stage for future divisions.
Meng Fu and the others looked at Lian Po quietly, waiting for his next words—both an explanation of such a distribution, and an answer to the question of whether each country acted separately or appointed a person as the commander after the division of troops.
Lian Po knew that everyone was waiting for his explanation, so he said: "Everyone, the strategy of using troops lies in the truth and the truth. If we gather together, not to mention the inconvenience of movement, the most important thing is that the movements of our army must be completely controlled by the Qin State. Not good for me. Therefore, I thought it would be most appropriate to divide the army into two ways. As for why China is separated from Yan and Qi, and Korea, Wei and Chu are together, there are two reasons. One is the same northern country and has similar tactics; Both are cheap to supply. ”
When Tian Dan heard this, his heart became sad and indignant, "Damn, the labor-management Qi country is 108,000 miles away from the front line, okay!" Supplies are cheap! Yan Guo too! To say that supplies are cheap. I'm afraid it's only you Zhao Guo! As for the same northern country, the tactics are similar, which is even more nonsense. Please, South Korea and Wei are! When you three kingdoms worked together to beat the Qin State so much that you couldn't find the north! ”
Meng Fu thought in his heart that Zhao Guo still hadn't forgotten to suppress Qi State! This time, the coalition army was divided into two routes, the north road with 160,000 troops, and the south road with 140,000 troops. Zhao Guo's consideration is also based on the number of troops sent by each country! It's also a stopgap measure! Anyway, Qi Guo was eaten by Zhao Guo this time. As for Yan Guo's surprising cooperation, it should have been bought by Zhao Guo with some benefits.
Sure enough, Lian Po's voice just fell. General Yan Guo Rong seconded the proposal and said: "General Lian's plan is very good! There is little difference in the strength of the north and south routes, and there is a scheming and famous general like Prime Minister Tian, and my northern route army is like a bamboo! ”
Lian Po smiled and nodded, responding to Rong Yan's praise. Tian Dan felt that he had fallen into a trick for no reason, in this army, Zhao Guo had always wanted to suppress himself, and Yan Guo was suspicious. If it weren't for himself, Yan Guo would definitely become another behemoth after Zhao Guo. But because of themselves. Yan Guo has also been hit hard!
Jingyang of Chu was secretly happy in his heart, first of all, the Chu army returned to the familiar mountain warfare. Secondly, the supply of the state of Chu will be quite convenient. With the careful care of Yan Guo and Zhao Guo, Jingyang is convinced that Tian Dan will definitely receive the best "treatment"!
Wei Guojin's mind was a little complicated, although he escaped the "doom" of storming Hangu Pass. But Wei had to reap the consequences of his own efforts and follow Korea to attack the pass. 峣關 ah 峣 guan. How can it be so easy to fight! An army of 40,000 is enough to impregnate the operation of the pass! As for the direction of Hanzhong, what good is it for Wei to get it! Now, Wei only wanted to recover Hangu Pass and expand the land of Hedong County. Of course, Wei was not completely without opportunities. As long as you can break the barrier. The Wei army can quietly march to the west side of Hangu Pass, and under the combination of inside and outside, Hangu Pass will definitely return to Wei.
Soon, everyone realized that this division of troops had a last resort. If it weren't for the impregnable fortress of the Qin State blocking the path of the coalition army, the coalition army should not have divided its forces. The current method of dividing troops has taken care of the interests of various countries to the greatest extent. If you talk about sacrifice, then it should be the "Qi country" who is at a loss.
Under the influence of the firm support of Zhao, Han, Chu, and Yan, Wei agreed with some hesitation, while Qi was completely limited by the shape and had to agree. Thus, on March 16, the coalition forces finally determined the direction of the follow-up offensive. The six countries "happily" agreed.
Because of the Six Kingdoms' invasion of Qin, the trade between Qin and the Six Kingdoms of Shandong was almost completely cut off. There are basically no pedestrians along the way, and if there are pedestrians, the biggest possibility is that the other party is an agent of an enemy country. The flags of the six countries are still fluttering in Anyi, but the main forces of the armies of each country are quietly leaving under the cover of the night.
There is no doubt that the commander of the Northern Front Army is Lian Po, but the commander of the Southern Front Army falls on the head of Meng Fu. In terms of military strength, Wei has 10,000 more than Korea, and in terms of seniority, Jingyang of Chu is preferred. But the main general is still not Jin Contempt, not Jingyang, but the Korean upstart - Lang Zhongling Mengfu.
Although both Jin and Jingyang approved Lian Po's appointment out of respect for Zhao Guo, Lian Po explained for the smooth implementation of the plan: "Wuguan is currently in South Korea!" Replenishment is the most convenient. The grain and grass consumption of the armies of Korea, Chu and Wei was provided by South Korea, and in terms of familiarity with the terrain and logistical supply, Meng Fu had the most advantage among the three! Therefore, Meng Fu is the best choice for the main general! ”
All the way was charming, and the Qin State naturally did not expect that the Six-Nation Alliance would actually divide its troops without knowing whether to live or die. Yes, I just don't know whether to live or die! In Qin's view, if the alliance of the six countries gathers together, Qin will never have a chance to defeat the coalition army if it does not exhaust the troops of the whole country. But if the coalition forces are divided, the Qin State can completely occupy an overwhelming advantage in the local area and break through each one!
Of course, because of the blockage of the news or the deliberate blockade of the news by the six countries, the Qin State did not know the news that the coalition forces had been divided. They were west of Luoshui, on Hangu Pass, and on Ya Pass, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Six-Nation Alliance. The main force of the Qin State has already completed the assembly on the Liyang and Yin Jin lines, and will only wait for the main attack direction of the Six-Nation Alliance to be determined.
After the southern front army of the coalition army left Anyi, it first went fifty miles to the east, and then went south, crossed the pond, passed through Yiyang, passed through Xincheng, and finally reached Nanyang County.
Along the way, Jin Contempt and Meng Fu had very little communication, even if there was no unpleasant argument, Jin Contempt would not be convinced. After all, he himself is the highest military general of the Wei State, and there is a storm kite on top of Meng Fu. Moreover, what disappointed Jin the most was that Lian Po clearly recognized his strategy of feint attack at Hangu Pass and sneak attack at Ya Pass, but he appointed Meng Fu as a general! Being ashamed of others is what Jin Contempt thinks now. If it weren't for Nanyang's hands in South Korea, the position of the main general would not necessarily be obscure.
Jing Yang's thoughts are different, although he is also the highest military general in the Chu State, but after all, he does not have the deep confidence of Jin Contempt. After all, Chu Guo did not recover after his vitality was seriously injured, and no one in Chu State can afford to offend now, unless Chu State fights his last breath, he can still "bite and seriously injure Qi State"!
It is based on such an idea that Jingyang did not hesitate to put down his body and visited Meng Fu many times. In Jingyang's view, if Chu wants to gain more benefits in this war against Qin, it must befriend South Korea. Besides, one more friend and one more way! South Korea's national strength has developed rapidly in the past two years, and it has gradually pulled Wei away, and the population of Yan is there, although today's Yan King is also relatively virtuous, but it will take a certain amount of time. Now, in terms of the national strength of each country, it should be Qin, Zhao, Korea, Wei, Yan, Qi, and Chu.
For Jingyang's overture, Meng Fu also gave enough respect. To be honest, position determines attitude, and Meng Fu does not have the intention to embarrass Jin and embarrass the other party. But by mistake, the current relationship between the two is superficial. Although Meng Fu is unwilling, he will not give in to the other party because of this. Now he represents King Han, and if he gives in, it is King Han who succumbs.
You must know that the fat of the Qin State seems to be very large, but it also has a lot of bones. The part that South Korea wants to bite off this time, of course, can't allow Wei to interfere. If Wei doesn't know what to do, Meng Fu doesn't mind yin Wei.
At the beginning of April, the 140,000-strong army arrived in Wancheng, where Meng Fu ordered the whole army to rest for several days. According to the itinerary, the itinerary of the Northern Front Corps of the Allied Forces will be much more and more difficult than that of the Southern Front Corps. Therefore, Meng Fu decided to wait a little for the corps on the northern front. (To be continued......)
