Chapter Ninety-Two: A Proposal to Attack Yizhou
Meng Jiucheng sighed secretly, this time he was right. Attacking and defending the city, he was relatively confident, but when fighting with the regular army, especially the cavalry, he was not only lacking in confidence, but had an inherent fear and tried his best to dodge.
It's a matter of time or time, so try to put it off as much as possible!
Meng Jiucheng clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and he didn't need to shout, he had already picked up his speed and galloped happily.
…………
Qingyun Town, belonging to Linshu County, is more than 50 miles away from Linyi (Yizhou Prefecture). Historically, it is known for its fertile land and abundant wolfberry willows. Under the influence of the war, the scene is much worse than before.
A large mansion in the town was heavily guarded, and soldiers with guns and knives walked back and forth with serious faces.
As the first meeting, it represents the momentum of the two families, and both sides have selected a hundred elite guards, not wanting to weaken the momentum.
In the hall of the house, the atmosphere seems to be harmonious and easy-going. No matter what kind of mind you have, some superficial work still needs to be done.
It's just that Shi Si didn't come at all, under the pretext that he was busy with military affairs. But Meng Jiucheng knew that that guy couldn't afford to look down on himself. If you don't come, don't come, anyway, I don't have a good impression of this rebellious guy. It was worth the trip to meet Peng Yibin.
Peng Yibin is in his thirties, with a burly figure and a particularly loud voice. His whole frame was more stout than stout, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and hair, shining black eyes, and when he laughed loudly, his mouth grinning so wide that he could show twenty or more white teeth.
Whenever Meng Jiucheng saw this white tooth, he was so envious, and he wanted to ask what brand of toothpaste he used.
"That's a good thing!" Peng Yibin just put down the binoculars, this is still a second-class goods, turned his head to look at Meng Jiucheng, and hatefully showed his white teeth again, "General Meng is a heavy salute, thank you for it." ”
Meng Jiucheng gave the gift that was supposed to be given to Shi Si to the staff officer Cheng Fu, who let you not come. And for Liu Erzu, it is naturally a good color, sealed in a box.
He arched his hand, expressed his humility, and said: "Although the Red Jacket Army has its own subordinates, they all raise the flag and raise the incident to resist the Jin people, which can be described as like-minded. The so-called unity is strong, and division is weak, and in Xia Jiu there was the idea of liaising with various armies and fighting in coordination. It's just that there are few soldiers, and they are afraid of being looked down upon and disdain to cooperate. Now, it's finally a little bit of a thing. Of course, it is far worse than General Liu and General Peng. ”
Peng Yibin seemed to agree, and nodded vigorously, with a slight smile on his face.
Cheng Fu also smiled, Meng Jiucheng's words were quite true, he felt quite reasonable, so he said: "General Meng's words are reasonable, but he also misunderstands us. Anyone who rises up against Jin, no matter how many people there are, our General Liu is appreciative. ”
"Yes, the generals under General Liu have different numbers of soldiers and horses, but they are also treated the same." Peng Yibin chimed in, "This, General Meng should be a subordinate of the Nine Great Kings, right?" ”
Meng Jiucheng's face was neither red nor white, he nodded, and said: "The commander of this county has already led the army to reinforce Laizhou, and he is left behind. ”
Cheng Fu and Peng Yibin may have known that Meng Jiucheng had risen in this way, but this was none of their business, and naturally they would not delve into it, so they skipped this topic and directly asked about joint operations.
Meng Jiucheng groaned and said, "The Yizhou Jin army is on my flank, so that our army cannot easily move north to reinforce the nine kings. I hope to unite with your army and destroy its army. ”
Peng Yibin and Cheng Fu glanced at each other, but neither spoke immediately. For them, the Yizhou Jin Army is also a thorn in the flesh, but the city is strong, and they have tried to attack, but they have returned in vain.
You must know that at that time, it was not easy for the regular army to attack the fortified city, let alone the poorly equipped rebel army.
"The defenders of Yizhou are less than 3,000, but the city is strong and tall, and it is difficult to capture." Cheng Fu, as a staff officer, was sent by Liu Erzu, he didn't express his position first, and Peng Yibin was not easy to speak.
Peng Yibin thought so deeply and said: "Before, I joined forces with General Shi for nearly 20,000 troops, and I didn't succeed in attacking Yizhou, but I suffered a lot of casualties. ”
"What if there is a way to break the city?" Meng Jiucheng raised his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "Our army can dispatch five thousand people, and if your army dispatches seven or eight thousand, it can trap the enemy in the city and destroy the city." After the battle is completed, the city will naturally belong to your army, and the captured military supplies will be divided into three equal parts, and our army only needs this Linshu County. How is it? ”
The spoils of war were divided into three parts, Meng Jiucheng and Peng Yibin, who participated in the war, each got one share, and the other part was Liu Erzu's headquarters, which was reasonable, and it also seemed that Meng Jiucheng was very good at doing things.
Peng Yibin was quite moved, looked at Cheng Fu, turned to Meng Jiucheng again, and asked, "General Meng is so sure?" ”
"It is not easy to attack Jiancheng, General Meng should not underestimate the enemy!" Cheng Fu didn't believe it very much, and reminded euphemistically.
"It's not to underestimate the enemy, it's really certain." Meng Jiucheng said very firmly: "I know that the two of you still have doubts. It is better to do this, the siege will be handed over to our army, and after the city is broken, your army will follow up and attack. ”
Peng Yibin lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, and said: "Since General Meng said so, wouldn't it be shameful that our army would not move again?" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Cheng Fu and asked, "My department dispatched 8,000 people, what does Mr. Cheng think?" ”
Cheng Fu smiled bitterly, knowing that there was no reason not to agree. On the one hand, taking the shortness of staff is one thing, Meng Jiucheng took the initiative to take on the heavy burden, and he and Peng Yibin had no way to refuse. Meng Jiucheng made it clear that if you start after breaking the city, even if you can't break the city, you won't have anything to lose.
"Okay!" Cheng Fu also expressed his attitude and said: "I understand what General Meng means, that is, to send a large army to force the enemy to defend himself, and he does not dare to go out of the city to fight. The two coalition forces have more than 13,000 troops, and they will definitely be able to achieve their goal. ”
Seeing that the joint operation was basically finalized, Meng Jiucheng hurriedly said: "Our army will assemble and go south, and we will prepare siege equipment, which will take seven or eight days. Expecting the enemy to be lenient, he will be limited to ten days, and the two armies will besiege Yizhou? ”
Facing Meng Jiucheng's inquiring gaze, Peng Yibin and Cheng Fu exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
……………
Peng Yibin, Shi Si, Xia Quan, Shi Qing, Pei Yuan and other armed forces are all generals under Liu Erzu, but they still maintain a certain degree of independence, which is annexation, or annexation. To put it bluntly, it's like a big alliance, and Liu Erzu is the leader of this big alliance.
The advantage of this is that it appears that there are many people and that the results of joint operations are also greater. However, it also has its own shortcomings and weaknesses, that is, it is not united enough, and the various armed forces may not be effective in fighting in order to preserve their strength, or they may not be effective in carrying out orders for their own interests.
