The Sui army marched slower than anyone had imagined. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Zhao Kun seems to be arrogant, often sending troops to recruit rebels, in fact, he himself can be called very conservative in some aspects.
Just as a boss needs a group of bureaucrats to run the country for him and avoid doing it himself, a group of miscellaneous soldiers, from his point of view, are just as important. Although Zhao Kun can defeat tens of thousands of people alone, and he can also travel thousands of miles a day to play a decapitation tactic, but it is really tiring to always do this. Therefore, it is very necessary to have a soldier and horse who obeys the command, and it is best that these troops also have some combat effectiveness.
Therefore, in order to avoid the end of this still large force, it is very necessary to be conservative.
It's really not okay if you're not conservative. Although this world can build a wall of 30 zhang, it does not mean that it can be like in a certain novel, a village with 300,000 cavalry or hundreds of thousands of troops will pour out as soon as the city gate is opened, and the hundreds of thousands of troops attacking the city will be surrounded.
From a practical point of view, although it took meticulous and careful work to settle the plan for returning to Chang'an in the west, the situation of the Sui army was actually not good. Under the condition of not harming ordinary people, Zhao Kun could only take the big households/thieves/monks, and use their wealth and grain reserves to supplement the Sui army's overstretched food and salary. And this process takes time.
Zhao Kun didn't know how Yu Wenhua, who killed Yang Guang, and how he was defeated in the original history of this world. "Yuwen Chengji" and Duguce were vague and couldn't get any information.
He only knew that in the original history, Yu Wenhua's march plan was not done at all, and a large number of elite Sui troops first killed the king, and then plundered everywhere for food, and they were about to become thieves, and they were still anxious to return to Chang'an.
Despite this, Yu Wenhua's army was still short of military rations, and then was intercepted by Li Miqian, and even used tactics to delay time and not fight him...... In the end, when the two armies fought, Yu Wenji's troops were exhausted and cut off from food and grass, most of the soldiers defected, and the generals surrendered one after another, and they were defeated. When he retreated to Wei County at the junction of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, he uttered the classic emotion - "If you deserve to die in life, won't you be an emperor one day?" ”
It was precisely because of this reason that Li sealed the canal for nearly four months, and the vanguard of the Sui army approached the main sphere of influence of the Wagang army.
And this Sui army ...... The baggage teams on the canal even brought a large number of well-made siege equipment, not to mention grain and grass.
At the same time, in the face of the blockade of the Wagang army, they fought two water battles, broke the blockade of the cross-river with iron locks, and did not retreat and switch from water to land until the waterway in front was sure to be blocked by the Wagang army, and the river could not be cleared for a while.
Not only that, in the face of the important town and military arrangement of Wagang, the other party didn't even pay attention to it, that is, it moved forward steadily and steadily, and did not seek the decisive battle of the main force at all.
According to Li Mi's original opinion, he felt that the Sui army lacked military rations, and they came from afar, so he planned to fight a defensive counterattack at the beginning of the Dongqiu Yu Culture - not to fight him in the early stage, and to send troops to block his retreat, and delay until the opponent's military rations were not enough before starting.
Who knew that the Sui army would not come, and by the time it was time to march, the problem of grain and grass would have been solved long ago. Moreover, the other party only sent a partial division all the way to occupy the original anti-thief gathering place in Dongjun to collect military funds. The Sui army's partial division turned a blind eye to Liyang, the gathering place of the main force of Wagang, which was not far away, and their main force did not go this way at all, but chose to abandon the boat from a place far away from Liyang and march to the southwest, and there was a tendency to fight all the way to Xingyang by land without fear of trouble.
Who knows that the Sui army will retreat when it says it will retreat, and if it says that it will turn to the land route, it will turn to the land route -- shouldn't it take the waterway until there is no way out, and then get off the boat to fight a big battle in Liyang, and if it wins, it will directly cross the river and continue to march?
No, it's just a field march, anyway, all the way, although all the way to the clear, but this march is still closer to an armed parade!
It wasn't until the city in Wagang's possession was threatened by the Sui army that Li Mi had to adjust his deployment -- it wouldn't work if he didn't adjust, he couldn't sit back and watch the southern line of Wagang be lost, right?
At this time, Taishi Yuwen approached Liyang with 20,000 horsemen, facing Li Mi across the river, making Li Mi in a dilemma.
Yu Wenhua and relying on martial arts to forcibly freeze the river to let the troops cross the river is not done once or twice, so the river water is not a problem for the Sui army at all.
Either stay in the well-repaired Liyang City and let go, do things The Sui army plundered land on the southern front, or went out of the city to support - it was equivalent to fighting with Yu Wenhua's army.
Originally, the plan to rely on the fortified city to defend first, and after the Sui army was frustrated, the plan to go to war basically went bankrupt.
After thinking about it, Li Mi simply sent someone to cross the river to Zhao Kun's camp, sent him a set of women's clothes, and sent him a letter, "The public family Ben Rong is subordinate to Ye Touer, and the father and son and brother are favored by Sui, and the princess is the wife." If you are immoral, you can't admonish it, you want to be reckless, you risk the evil of the world, and you can go in peace? Since the prince is the master and leads the people of the Kanto region, he does not think about being stubborn and stubborn, so as to decide the male and female, but he guards the soil nest in the Gan Cave, and avoids swords and arrows, what a difference from a woman! Send people to send women and plain clothes today, if you don't go to war, you can worship and accept it again. Or it can be surrendered immediately, and it can still be all heirs. ”
Zhao Kun read the letter, his face was expressionless, and he glanced up at the messenger. The messenger was a scribe and said, "My mission is accomplished, please take the wok!" ”
"Does Li think of me as a woman?" Zhao Kun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Master Ben remembers that in the past, Du Fuwei gave Chen Ling a woman's clothes to lure him into battle...... Li is clever and has no new ideas. ”
"It's useless to talk too much, someone just wants to die!"
Zhao Kun shook his head, "The two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoys, you go back and bring me a letter to Li Mi, for the sake of his poor skills, now surrender and I will only kill the three clans of the generals of Wagang...... By the way, I heard that one of your pretty military divisions, Shen Luoyan, was abducted by Duguce and never came back? ”
The scribe's face suddenly darkened, because what Zhao Kun said was the shame of Wagang. He arched his hand towards Zhao Kun, "Taishi will not kill so-and-so, farewell!" ”
"Wait, don't rush to leave. Didn't Li Mi just want to provoke me to fight? Well, let me ask a question, answer it well, and if the content is detailed, I will cross the river and attack Liyang in three days, and if I can't answer it, forget it. ”
"I don't know what the Taishi wants to ask?"
