Chapter 961: Mixing Sand
Han Mo nodded and said: "Chief Tie Bing and Governor Han are right, since ancient times, it is not uncommon for the weak to defeat the strong and defeat to win, so we still have to be careful everywhere."
Han Xuanling patted Han Mo on the shoulder and said with a rough smile: "I'm still worried that you are young and vigorous, but if you think like this, I will be relieved." Then he said softly: "Our army was able to advance smoothly because we were able to take the Evil Yang Ridge with the fastest speed, if it wasn't for you to drag Sima Haoyue, I'm afraid that we may not have conquered the Evil Yang Ridge by now." ”
Han Mo said gloomily: "That was exchanged for more than two thousand lives. ”
Han Xuanling naturally knew that Han Mo was surrounded by Sima Haoyue's trap, he was also a shrewd person, he knew that there was a lot of articles in this, and he even felt that it was very likely that the news had leaked and betrayed Han Mo, but now that the war was imminent, everything was mainly focused on conquering Kyoto City, and some things could only be put aside for the time being and checked again, so he lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Wu, there are priorities, what should we do now, you must have a scale in your heart, at this moment, we must not mess up ourselves!" ”
Han Mo nodded slightly, and said with a reluctant smile: "I understand." ”
He has always been very calm, but for falling into Sima Haoyue's trap, he was deeply relieved and did not forget it for a moment.
The battle of blood and fire, the death of two thousand soldiers in a foreign land, and even Wang Siyu died on the battlefield in order to save himself, and even the corpse capital could not come back, which had planted a deep resentment in Han Mo's heart.
He promised those soldiers that he would find out the spies behind the scenes, and he would not break his promise.
But he also knows that there must be an inside story in this matter, and he can't be in a hurry, he needs to slow down, and if he is in a hurry, he may not be able to achieve any results.
The whole army did not stop, the difference between the Chinese army and the two wings was only ten miles, in the middle of the Chinese army, you can clearly see the flags of the two wings, the whole army is consistent, advancing towards the border of the Wei army, all the way, there is not the slightest obstruction.
Along the way, the scouts came to report again and again, and the main news was the actions of the Qing army.
According to the news obtained by the scouts, the Qing army has now approached the Wei army in the northern region, but compared to the Yan army, the Qing army soldiers are much more tired.
Although there are moats such as Evil Yang Ridge in the south of Suiding County, there are many passes along the way on the march of the Qing army in the north.
The Yan army advanced from the south, except for a bloody battle in the Evil Yang Ridge, which could almost be called bloodless, but the situation encountered by the Qing army was very different.
The combat effectiveness of the Qing army was already weak, and when it was in a stalemate with the Wei army earlier, the losses were extremely heavy, and if it were not for the Yan State to participate in the war, the Qing State would be in danger of being destroyed by the Wei State at any time.
In the bones of the Wei people, they disdain the Qing people and have no fear of the Qing people, perhaps it is for this reason that when they learned that the Qing army attacked from the north of Suiding County, the Wei people were actually blocking along the way, not necessarily really trying to block the Qing army, but just to consume the Qing army as much as possible, so that the Qing army could not rest well.
Since Du Wufeng's death, the Black Flag of Wei has become a mass of loose sand and cannot be condensed into a whole, but the main force of the Eight Great Banners still exists. Although it is difficult for the Eight Great Banners to contact each other, let alone become a terrifying dark network, they still maintain their dark nature after all.
Not to mention the nails lurking in all corners of the Central Plains, the professional assassins of Black Flag can only act alone like children who have lost their parents when the contact clues are broken.
A large number of black flag officials, seeing the Qing army marching, many people are waiting for the opportunity to assassinate the Qing army generals along the way, and even some people sneak in at night to set fire to the grain and burn the camp, although there are few generals who have been assassinated, and it is difficult to have a few successes in setting fire to the grain, but it still makes the Qing army fall into a kind of panic, compared to the smooth march of the Yan army, the Qing army is difficult step by step along the way, and the encounter with the Yan army is very different.
Dozens of miles forward, it was already dark, and it was only twenty miles away from Wei County at this time, and the five hundred forward battalions of the Yan army led by Ling Yun had already arrived at the boundary of Wei County.
For the sake of safety, Han Mo asked Zhu Xiaoyan to lead a thousand elite soldiers to rush forward overnight, join up with Lingyun's forward battalion, and set up camp in front to serve as an outpost.
As for the main force of the Yan army, it was camped in three places on the left, middle and right, set up sentry posts, and was on guard.
When Han Mo returned, he naturally had to summon all the generals in the army to come over and discuss the next steps, although Han Xuanling had discussed with the generals many times before, but as the commander of the first army, Han Mo naturally had to understand the current battle plan as much as possible.
Under the night, the camp tent of the marshal was brightly lit, Han Mo, Han Xuanling and Tie Kui were looking at the map in the camp to discuss some things, and the generals of the two armies on the left flank had already rushed over.
In this march, Han Xuanling, as the deputy commander of the whole army, sat in the middle army with Tie Kui, Kong Fei led the army on the right flank, and Xia Houde was on the left flank, advancing hand in hand, with great momentum.
When all the generals arrived, Han Mo finally ordered Tie Kui to summon them into the camp, and in addition to Kong Fei and Xia Houde, seven or eight other commanders were also ordered to come.
Qin Luo and Wang Siyu are the commanders of Linyang Pass, and Han Mo also sent many high-level generals from other passes, these people were personally selected by Xiao Huaiyu at the beginning, and none of them were mediocre.
Most of these high-level generals had participated in the military meeting before Han Mo sent troops to Shannan County, and knew that Han Mo led his troops to intercept Sima Haoyue, and later from Zhu Xiaoyan's mouth, these high-level generals also knew that Han Mo and his subordinates were surrounded by the Shannan Army.
Although Han Xuanling strictly ordered the generals not to divulge this matter, everyone was still worried about Han Mo in their hearts.
Han Mo broke the iron horse and rode a battle, and won the two passes of Nanyang Tingshui in a row, and his prestige in the Northwest Army of Yan State has reached its peak, and the Northwest Army is in awe of such a general from the heart, and now Xiao Huaiyu has no news, if Han Mo has another accident, the Northwest Army will be in big trouble, so for most of the generals of the Northwest Army, they still earnestly hope that Han Mo can return safely.
Hearing the summons of the great general Han Mo this time, most of the people settled down.
In the midst of the big war, the return of the main general can boost morale.
The generals entered the big tent one after another, Han Mo sat in the middle of the big tent, and saw familiar faces coming in one by one, smiling, but suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, which made him stunned, and his eyes showed surprise.
Han Mo really didn't expect to see this person here today.
……
All the generals came in and saluted one by one, Han Mo bowed slightly, but his eyes were staring at one of the generals, that person was dressed in gray-brown armor, although his figure was not thick but quite powerful, wearing a single-horned copper helmet, his expression was indifferent, and he was suddenly Han Mo's cousin, Han Cang, the eldest grandson of the Han family.
After Han Cang entered the account, his eyes were also staring at Han Mo's face, and the two of them looked at each other, but they did not have the joy of seeing each other for a long time between brothers, but they both exuded a chill.
When Han Xuanling saw Han Mo's expression, he finally remembered something, and said with a smile: "General, 50,000 troops were dispatched from China to reinforce it, and the imperial court sent the commander of the Zhongyi Battalion, Han Canghan, the commander of the army, and General Fan to come over. ”
Han Cang just stood there expressionlessly, and he didn't mean to come forward to see, but another strange military general who was nearly forty years old stepped forward and said respectfully: "The last general, Fan Yuntang, see the general!" ”
Han Mo withdrew his gaze from Han Cang, and said with a smile: "General Fan has worked hard!" ”
As soon as he heard Fan Yuntang's name, he knew that this person was the same generation as his father-in-law, Fan Yunao.
Fan Yuntang is indeed Fan Yunao's cousin, in the Fan family, Fan Yunao is naturally the pillar that supports the Fan family, he is in charge of the military department, and he has a very high prestige in the military.
Fan Yuntang is an outstanding figure of the Fan family, a few years ago he was named Wujue as the general of the town, and he is one of the forty generals of the court, like most generals, he has a mansion in Beijing, but he does not have much real power, but once the military department wants to recruit the army, it is to carry out such a task with these knighted military generals.
This time the army was requisitioned to reinforce the Northwest Army, and Fan Yunao naturally took this opportunity to enable Fan Yuntang, who had always had no power, and asked Fan Yuntang to participate in the affairs of the army, and after gathering 50,000 troops, in the name of the Ministry of War, let Fan Yuntang command the army that had just been assembled.
It's just that Han Xuandao suddenly intervened and arranged Han Cang into this support army, although he was nominally Fan Yuntang's deputy general, but Fan Yuntang naturally wouldn't take it seriously.
The strength of the Han clan is now much stronger than that of the Fan clan, and Han Cang is the commander of the Zhongyi Battalion, although he may not be able to completely control this new Royal Forest Army, but after all, he is a general with real power, which is naturally much stronger than Fan Yuntang, a general with no real power.
Regardless of the deep family or personal power, Han Cang is stronger than Fan Yuntang, and it is impossible for Han Cang to bow to a figure like Fan Yuntang, so he led the army to come, although Han Cang is a deputy general in name, but he gives orders, as if he is the main general, Fan Yuntang is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and he knows that his strength is far weaker than Han Cang.
Han Mo didn't look at Han Cang anymore, but said lightly: "Everyone sit down and talk!" ”
The generals sat down on the short chairs arranged on both sides, and Han Cang looked cold and also sat down on the short chairs.
Han Mo glanced at Kong Fei as if he didn't seem to be absent, and finally said, "You may not know that the Wind Country seems to have sent troops to attack Shannan County of the Wei State!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Xiahoude had already frowned and said, "General, did the Wind Country really send troops?" ”
Han Mo said lightly: "Ben Jiang is not sure yet, but ...... The Shannan army withdrew halfway, and if it weren't for the Wind Country's troops, they shouldn't have withdrawn. ”
Tie Kui said: "If this is the case, the Shannan Army will be dragged all the way by the people of the Wind Country, and it will not pose much of a threat to us." ”
Han Mo asked, "Chief Tie Bing, what is the current situation in Kyoto City?" ”
"General Hui, according to the report of the spies, the Wei people will gather heavy troops outside the city of Kyoto." Tie Kui said solemnly: "Its total strength has exceeded 100,000 people, and according to the situation, I am afraid that the number will increase." To the south of Kyoto City, where we are facing, there are about 50,000 troops stationed there, and according to reliable information, the Wei people have already begun to build several fortifications outside the city of Kyoto, and they have also gathered a large number of people to strengthen the city...... The city of Kyoto is already huge and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now that the Wei people have strengthened the city of Kyoto, they are ready to defend it. After a pause, he said: "We have discussed it many times, and if we want to solve it quickly, I am afraid that it will be very difficult, so we must be prepared to fight a protracted war." ”
"A protracted war is a battle for grain and grass logistics." Han Mo touched his chin and said, "Our army's grain road must be guaranteed to be smooth, and there must be no loss!" ”
Han Xuanling nodded and said, "Not bad." Fortunately, the Evil Yang Ridge is already in the hands of our army, and there are garrisons stationed in the cities along the way, and I was afraid that the Shannan Army would harass the logistics grain road from the flank of Shannan County, but now that the people of the Wind Country have entered the territory of Shannan County, the Shannan Army has no power to deal with the people of the Wind Country, so it is no longer able to pose too much threat to our army's food route. ”
Kong Fei said with a smile: "The Shannan Army has no Sima Haoyue, and it may not be able to stop the people of the Wind Country. The people of this wind country also came in time, and having them deal with the Shannan army saved us a lot of trouble! ”
Qin Luo, who had been silent, finally said: "The people of the Wind Country suddenly sent troops, is there any trickery in it?" ”
Kong Fei said: "The small country of the south wind is nothing more than a grudge with the Wei State, and they want to take this opportunity to export their evil anger, and they still dare to compete with us for the land of the Wei State?" He looked at Han Mo and said, "General, although the covenant did not say it clearly, we and the people of Qingguo all know that once the Wei State is defeated, the north of Kyoto City belongs to Qingguo, and the south is the land of my Dayan, and this Shannan County is south of Kyoto City, sooner or later it is our Dayan land, does the Wind Country still have the guts to occupy my Dayan land?" ”
In fact, these truths are understood in the hearts of everyone present, but no one says them as bluntly as Kong Fei.
Tie Kui coughed and said, "I can't take care of the Wind Country at the moment, but I have to figure out how to attack Kyoto City." It is agreed in the covenant that whoever can take Kyoto City first can defend Kyoto City, and the other country will not have the right to enter the city, and we must not let the Qingguo people take the lead. ”
Yanqing and Qing signed an alliance to attack Wei, as Tie Kui said, one of them was related to the city of Kyoto, and the two sides agreed that whoever was the first to attack the city of Kyoto would have control of the city, and the other country could only get a certain amount of compensation, but could not enter the city.
This article was actually set up so that the two countries could go all out to attack Kyoto City, otherwise if the two countries wanted to reduce the loss of their own team, they would have the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and the Kyoto City would never be able to fight.
And this article undoubtedly has a great force for both countries.
Kyoto City is the capital of Wei State, but also the political and economic center of Wei State, although Wei State is weak, but Kyoto City is the concentration of Wei wealth, if you can control such a city, the benefits are naturally extremely huge.
