Chapter 386: Taking Kuncang is difficult to continue, but to no avail
After a few days of fighting, Kuncheng was far less fierce than Cangcheng, Shangguan Tangyuan stayed in Kuncheng safely, but handed over Cangcheng to Bailiyue alone, an unknown woman against the famous general Zhou Lingyue, but she could still fight without falling behind, Shangguan Tangyuan's trust in Bailiyue made Feng Quan a little impressed.
And in the past few days, the battle reports of the two cities have also been sent to Zhao Yan in Suzhou.
After reading all the battle reports in the two cities, Zhao Yan put the reports on the table and said, "You all take a look." ”
The advisors and generals all stepped forward to take them and borrow them from each other.
"Cangcheng has a woman as the general, and the soldiers are only 30,000, and General Zhou can't hold on to the 50,000 troops." Tu Yang exclaimed. His focus was not on the small city where Zhou Lingyue's 50,000 troops couldn't defeat the 30,000 defenders, he just wanted to meet the female general.
"Huizhou is a vast and sparsely populated area, and trains every day in the mountains. Since ancient times, there have been clouds, although there are not many soldiers, but the woman is quite surprising to the old man. Tu Xuan said.
"This woman's name is Baili Yue, she is a descendant of the Baili clan in the depths of the mountains of Huizhou, the Baili clan was prosperous thousands of years ago, until the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, because of its patriarch Baili Long Gong Gao Gai was suspected by Zhou Gaozu, so the family was exiled to the deep mountains of Huizhou, so far the Baili clan has turned from prosperity to decline, until today there are few descendants of the Baili clan." Zhao Yunge explained.
"The descendants of Baili Taki, it's not surprising that they have this ability." Tu Xuan stroked his beard and said.
"As for the defenders of Cangcheng, in addition to the original small number of Soviet troops stationed in the city, there is also a small number of Wu troops, the vast majority of which are Huizhou soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is far stronger than Kuncheng."
"The Huizhou army is so strong, how could Shangguan Tangyuan return from Wu's attack before?" Jin Guolai asked puzzled.
"Huizhou is mostly hilly areas, there is little arable land in the mountains, and it is difficult to reserve grain and grass, before Shangguan Tangyuan cut down Wu, had already invaded the hinterland of Wuzhou, and the waterway captured Wuhui Port, but the grain and grass were found by the Wu army halfway, and the grain and grass were burned, and the army recruited Wu and was difficult to continue, so as to strike the army." Zhao Yunyi replied.
In terms of intelligence, the Zhao brothers played a crucial role in Zhao Yan's camp.
"Can you besiege the city and cut off the army's food this time?" Tu Xuan said.
"It may not be feasible, Wuzhou has become the granary of Jiangnan after the reform of Xiangzilan, long before our army was opened, Yunyang City Taishou Kong Yanli had already transported a year's grain and grass to Cangcheng, plus the reserve grain of Cangcheng itself, it would take a year and a half to trap Cangcheng, but during this period, the consumption of grain and grass of our army is immeasurable." Zhao Yunge said
The battle in Cangcheng was still being discussed over there, but Tu Yang here had already exclaimed the defeat of Wei Qingye Kuncheng: "Isn't it, Mr. Wei's 40,000 army was beaten by 2,000 people and lost their armor?" It's incredible. ”
"It's nothing incredible, Wei Qingye was ambushed by the Huizhou army when he was walking in a woodland, I once said that the ace army of the Huizhou army, Dongdi Beast, is especially good at woodland warfare and mountain warfare, and it is not surprising that he dares to ambush 40,000 people with 2,000 people, I think when we conquer Huizhou in the future, we will pay more attention to the terrain while marching, and no one knows where they will come from." Zhao Yunyi said.
"Young master, send me to battle, I will definitely win two cities within half a month!" Tu Yang thought for a while and said with a swear.
"Look at this before you do." After listening to the ministers' words, Zhao Yan submitted an urgent report to the case.
As soon as the Zhao brothers saw the urgent report, they knew what Zhao Yan was thinking.
This urgent report was sent by Sangzhou, and it was naturally written by Zhao Lingjie.
Ma Zhiwei personally led a large army to attack Lingzhou, Zhao Zhang was unprepared, lost Zero State City, Zero West City, and Zhao Zhang's entire army was defeated in three battles.
"Why did Ma Zhiwei invade the east at this time?" Jin Guo said.
"The western region is too negligent, presumably Ma Zhiwei saw the opportunity to take advantage of, although the sixth prince is brave and unscrupulous, how can he be the opponent of the old and spicy Ma Zhiwei." Jiang Jingting said.
"Gui and Ling are rich in grain, which is where our army's granary is located, and Ma Zhiwei's surprise attack on Lingzhou is also because after autumn, the wheat in Lingzhou is ripe, and there is little grain in Yunning, it is estimated that Ma Zhiwei wants to wait for the wheat to ripen and plunder a wave before withdrawing from Lingzhou." Jiang Qiongyu said.
"If this is the case, there is no fear, I am afraid that Ma Zhiwei will be greedy and invade Guizhou." Jin Guo said.
"This can't be done, this autumn harvest was collected by Ma Zhiwei, and it will be repaid, absolutely not." Han Rui shook his head frantically.
"The young master showed us this urgent report, meaning that he wants to withdraw his troops and return to the southwest?" Tu Xuan said. "Lose a granary, and then take another granary, as long as you can take Wuzhou, the land of Gui Ling can be slowly cleaned up."
Tu Xuan's meaning Zhao Yan is naturally clear, if you want to talk about grain reserves, Wuzhou ruled by Xiang Zilan is naturally the most, as long as the boundary of Wuzhou is taken, the food crisis will naturally be lifted, and it is not impossible to go back and slowly clean up Ma Zhiwei.
"Withdraw." Zhao Yan said coldly. After thinking twice, even the two lonely cities have been fighting for so long, and Gui Ling can't wait that long.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan wanted to withdraw the army, Tu Xuan couldn't say anything, just glanced meaningfully at the eastern sky, and next time he had to go out in person.
The news of the withdrawal was quickly sent to the front line, as soon as Zhou Lingyue received the news, he quickly withdrew the army, on the side of Kuncheng, Wei Qingye naturally wanted to retreat, but Chang Mingting, a reckless man, actually ran to Kuncheng City alone and gritted his teeth and scolded, and was finally shot back by the Kuncheng defenders, which is also ridiculous.
"Zhao Jun retreated at this time? There will be turmoil in the land, whether we will pursue them and hinder their return to the west. Baili Xing said.
"Don't chase after the soldiers." Shangguan Tangyuan vetoed Bailixing's proposal. "Xiangzhou Mu, if Zhao Jun retreats, then we should also go back to Huizhou."
"Leaving so soon? Aren't you afraid of Zhao Jun's fraudulent retreat? Xiangyan said.
"No, two small cities, if the Zhao army attacks with all its might, how long can it be defended? Zhao Jun retreated this time, as Ah Xing said, if there was chaos in the local area or the southwest princes invaded the territory, Zhao Yan had a heavy army in his hands, and he couldn't help but come back. Shangguan Tangyuan's words were conclusive, just like the facts that were happening.
Later, Baili Yue's proposition surprised Xiangyan even more, and she wanted to give up Cangcheng!?
Later, Xu Ce's explanation made Xiangyan suddenly enlightened.
For the landform of Daqin, Xiangyan still doesn't know much, although Cangcheng is close to the territory of Huizhou, but what is close is nothing more than 100,000 mountains, whether it is attacking from Cangcheng, or losing reinforcements from Huizhou, if you really want to reach the location of the city, you have to go over the mountains and mountains, so Cangcheng is just a lonely city in Huizhou, and there is no meaning to hold on, but as long as Wuzhou is opened, it is meaningful. It's a pity that Shangguan Tangyuan did not conquer Wuzhou before conquering Wu.
