Chapter 13, the wall is clear
Yang Yi asked Han Yao for a plan, Han Yao talked eloquently, Yang Gongliang didn't dare to be self-conscious, first settled Han Yao at his house for a while, and then hurriedly ran to report to Gongsun Kang.
At this time, although Gongsun Du is not dead, he is already in a dying state, and it is impossible to see things at all, and the real leader of Liaodong is the heir Gongsun Kang. However, Gongsun Kang adheres to the traditional filial piety and has to serve at his father's bedside, so for the issue of resisting the Youzhou army, he only set a general policy, and the specific details are all entrusted to Yangyi.
In other words, if you want to change the established strategy of rejecting the great Liaoshui and guarding it, you have to nod Gongsun Kang after all.
However, Yang Yi told Gongsun Kang about Han Yao's plan, and Gongsun Kang was also vague. This Gongsun Zongci Gongzi is far above Yang Gongliang in terms of military ability, but on the one hand, he was also frightened by the "100,000" falsehood, and on the other hand, he was undressed, serving his father, but unfortunately his father always hung his breath and was immortal, and he was long-term sleep deprivation, his head was groggy, and he couldn't understand the gains and losses for a while. In desperation, I had to - "and call hundreds of officials to discuss." β
Summoning all the main strategists and generals of the Gongsun family together, Yang Yi first reported the front line form, and then repeated what Han Yao said. He didn't mention who gave the idea, but he guessed that if he really wanted to say it, half of the people raised their hands to oppose it - a cold Confucian, and he dared to say something? Whether it's right or not, if you listen to him, it will definitely damage the face of our heroes and old officials!
Han Yao's construction was to simply abandon the Great Liaoshui defense line, shrink in an all-round way, stick to Xiangping City and Shoushan, show a trend of echoing horns, and move the people on the east bank of the Great Liaoshui. Burning of grain stocks. Fortified Clear. The Youzhou army came from afar. The road is long, more than one mile deep into Liaodong, the loss will be greater than one point, when the time comes, there is a strong city in front, there is no grain and straw behind, the more soldiers and horses, the faster the retreat.
This strategy is actually a bit like Zheng Du persuaded Liu Zhang to clear the wilderness in order to break Liu Bei in the original history. At that time, Liu Bei had just captured the city. The striker pointed directly at Chengdu, Liu Zhang was shocked, and Zheng Du took the opportunity to say: "Although Liu Bei is attacking the city and seizing the land, there are not many soldiers, the soldiers are not attached, Yegu is a capital, and the army has no baggage." It is better to drive the people of Zitong in Brazil and cross the west of Fushui. Its barns and wild valleys are all burned down, and the deep ditches are high. Wait and see. If he asks for war, don't allow it. There has been nothing for a long time. However, in a hundred days, the soldiers walked on their own. I take advantage of the false attack, and I can catch it. β
It is said that when Liu Bei heard about this, he was "evil", and hated Zheng Du's plan very much, and the implication was that if Liu Zhang really listened to Zheng Du's words, he would be in danger. Fortunately, Fa Zheng comforted him: "It can't be used in the end, and there is nothing to worry about." "Don't worry, Liu Jiyu won't listen.
However, if these two offerings take place on the same timeline, future generations can compare them and immediately see the difference. First of all, the premise of Zheng Du's invitation to Liu Zhang's fortification and clearing the wilderness was that Liu Bei "did not have many soldiers, the soldiers were not attached, the wild valley was a capital, and the army had no baggage": on the one hand, Liu Bei only brought 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers into Sichuan, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all Shu troops held hostage at Baishui Pass, and it was impossible to use them completely. All in all, Liu Bei looks like a behemoth, but in fact, he lacks stamina, and it is easy to consume him to death.
Now it is Xun Ze is different, although the grain road is long, after all, there is a rear base, even if the grain in Youzhou is eaten up, he can still find a way to transfer it from Qing, Deng, and even from Ji and Ying, where is it so easy to consume it? Moreover, the Xunsuo Department is full of Youzhou soldiers, and there are not many local coercions, and there is no comparison with Liu Bei later.
The strong wall is only a means to weaken the enemy, and if you want to completely defeat the enemy, you have to rely on the last battle, which is exactly what Zheng Du said, "I take advantage of the false attack to be captured." Because Liu Bei did not have a stable rear base, like a rat in a bag, if the food ran out and retreated, the Shu army would chase and kill him from behind, and he could be easily captured. As long as Liu Bei is taken down, do Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and other troops who were killed from the east still need to worry?
But what about Xun? Even if he loses the battle, he can flee all the way back to Youzhou, and the Liaodong Army does not have the strength to directly pursue him to his hometown. Besides, even if he captures Shixun, he may be able to temporarily resolve the current crisis, but the enmity with the Cao family will be great, and Cao Cao will have to send troops to fight sooner or later.
Such a comparison makes a judgment on the superiority of the two strategies.
Of course, if Han Yao just said these few words, he would not be able to win Yangyi's trust, and he had to describe more details, so that this strategy would definitely be beneficial to Liaodong. Han Yao said, the enemy army is numerous, our army is outnumbered, and there is no danger on the bank of the Great Liao River, and it is easy to be broken by each of them. After shrinking, it will be different, condensing the main force into two fists, Xiangping and Shoushan, you can rely on the city and natural hazards, and respond to each other, and the Youzhou army will not be so easy to win. Then the Liaodong Army can send a team to plunder the enemy's grain route - no matter how stable your rear base is, no matter how sufficient the grain is, it is impossible to fly it over, as long as the transportation route is broken, it will undoubtedly retreat.
On paper, such a plan sounds more reliable. It's just that he can only coax Yang Yi, who is completely ill-versed in military affairs, and Gongsun Kang, who is dazed, and can't hide it from some of the people attending the meeting at allβfor example, Xiao Ji.
Xiao Yuan Tuxin said that who gave this bad idea? Do you think a strong wall is a good strategy? That's a strategy that I have to do if I was forced to hurry, Liaodong really wants to take this move, even if it is Xun who is forced to retreat for a while, the place in the heart will be barren, I am afraid that it will not be able to be revived for several years, it is Xun who goes back to rectify a little, and kills again, I am afraid that you don't even have the strength to fight back. Besides, from Da Liao Shui to Xiangping, a large plain, the roads are vertical and horizontal, do you know which road the grain and grass are transported from, so easy to cut off their grain road? If there are too many soldiers to be sent out, it will be easy for the enemy to find out, and it will not be able to play the role of attacking food; If there are few troops sent out, they will inevitably be broken by the enemy army.
But forget it, Xiao Ji's ass didn't sit on Liaodong's side in the first place, and the more the Gongsun family messed up, the more happy he was in his heart. So although he saw so many loopholes, he closed his lips tightly and didn't say a word.
There is another person who sounds wrong, that is, Gongsun Du's brother Gongsun Mo, who is also one of the best generals in Liaodong. It's a pity that this person is good at scheduling, but he is clumsy in words, although he stands up to express his opposition, but he is verbose, and he can't always say clearly about the flaws. Yang Yi listened to the big head, and simply asked: "If you still plan, can you keep the Yang Tunnel?" β
This Gongsun Mo didn't dare to pat his chest to guarantee the ticket, he was originally full of confidence, but the problem was frightened by Yangyi's mouth is "100,000". At the moment, he asked: "Is it true that there are 100,000 enemies?" Yang Yi nodded: "Indeed." "People have just come back from the front line, will what they say be false?
Yang Gong weighed the weight, and Gongsun Mo didn't dare to argue with him head-on-and even if he called the board, he couldn't talk about it at all-so he had to kick the ball: "Yuantu is a resourceful person, what do you think?" β
Xiao Jixin said that I don't plan to speak, but you still want to ask, so I had to be vague: "It seems reasonable, but the details still need to be considered." β
Other people who don't understand military affairs, when they heard that Xiao Ji "basically affirmed" the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, and then looked at Yangyi's attitude, they seemed to be quite inclined to this strategy, so they echoed it one after another. If you want to talk about political struggle, Xiao Yuantu is really a good hand, and in just over a year since he came out of Liaodong, he has a very close relationship with his colleagues. Up and down Liaodong, except for a half-dead Gongsun Du who was always suspicious of him, everyone else thought that he was indeed sincere and obedient.
Everyone pondered, even if Xiao Ji cherished the old master, then my grandson's family and the opposite side were Xun, all of them were his enemies, and we were willing to take him in, but Xun didn't know what kind of attitude he would have towards him, and he would never help Shi Xun to plot against us. But for Xiao Ji, the Gongsun family is the first enemy, and there is a chance to overthrow it to avenge the Yuan family; Although the Cao family is also an enemy, the problem is that Xun does not represent the Cao family, even if he helps the Gongsun family defeat or even kill Shi Xun, it cannot be regarded as avenging the old master. Besides, the Cao family is so big, it is even more difficult to subvert it, and the best way is to first assist the Cao family to destroy the Gongsun family, and then use this credit to Cao to continue the career of "Infernal Affairs", waiting for the opportunity.
Seeing that everyone said that they were shrinking the line of defense, and the strong wall was clear, Gongsun Kang was waiting to be corrected. Gongsun thought about it, but still gritted his teeth and advised: "Although this plan is good, I am afraid that after the Youzhou army enters the peace, its grain route is not easy to plunder." Or they can carry troops by sea to cut them off. "The West Liaoning Corridor is narrow, just one road, let's use a boat to transport troops, and go there to copy the Youzhou military grain road, which is a little more reliable.
Yang Yi looked at the era: "What does Yuantu think?" β
Xiao Ji nodded slightly: "Yes is also possible." "If this is really successful, it will indeed cause a lot of damage to the Youzhou army, but the problem is that if Xun is not prepared at all, it will really make people copy the back road, then it is no wonder that I don't help him.
Liaodong made a plan to abandon the Liaodong tunnel, relocate the people and burn grain, and shrink in an all-round way. Yang Yi told Gongsun Kang to take Han Yao as a guest and make him join the military.
This is when Shi Xun marched to the west bank of the Great Liao River, the enemy situation he was facking him, and he immediately summoned Zhuge Liang and Yan Rou to come over to discuss, and the intelligence of the three of them added up to more than two hundred and five, and the problem still couldn't be figured out.
Yes Xun did send Han Yao back to Liaodong to try to disturb the enemy, the problem is that Han Yao has so much energy and can completely change the established policy of Liaodong, which is completely unthinkable to Xun - Yang Yi's incompetence, Gongsun Kang's dizziness, Gongsun Mozhi's dare not speak out, and Xiao Ji's secret deeds, these conditions must all be added together to form such a situation, Yes Xun is not a god, in the game, where can it be calculated?
However, it is impossible for him to stay with the west bank of the Great Liao River for fear of falling into a trap and dare not cross the river. When the sentinels from all sides returned from repeated reconnaissance, they all came to the same conclusion, and Shixun had no choice but to grit his teeth - "Let's cross." That is, a large number of newly built rafts and a small number of collected boats were separated by five miles on the Great Liao River, and crossed in three places. Immediately, without any danger, he drove into the Liao Tunnel City.
Further to the front, the news was that the Liaodong Army was fully contracted, the walls were cleared, and the main force was holding Xiangping and Shoushan. It was Xun Daxi, and he said that this must be because Gongsun Du died and the internal chaos was caused - "Heaven is seized, there is no need for March, I will be able to take the whole Liao!" β
When he was proud, he suddenly rushed to report: "The Liaodong soldiers make a big boat to carry troops, after copying me!" (To be continued......)
