Chapter 515 Detailed Investigation and Knowing the Details Strong troops went out to occupy the city
The two of them studied how to defend Qin and Wei until after Shen Shi, and it was Guo Feng who came in to interrupt their conversation, Guo Gan couldn't imagine that this cheap nephew who was not very old actually had the thinking of the ancient and the present, and the performance in the conversation did not match his actual age at all, which made Guo Qian feel like a relative, a friend and a teacher to Chuyang.
Chu Yang saw that it was getting late and was about to get up and set off for Gongke, but Guo Gan got up to stop him and said: "Don't be in a hurry, even if the imperial court orders you to increase your troops, it is not a short time to receive the edict, it is better to stay in the mansion for one night, and then set off after tomorrow." ”
"National affairs should not be delayed, and I will come to see my uncle after the war is settled. Chu Yang politely declined.
When it came to the safety of the country, Guo Gan was embarrassed to say anything else, so he could only agree in the end, and led his two sons to send Chuyang out of the city together, and he was not willing to part until ten miles outside the city.
Bidding farewell to Guo Gan, Chuyang rushed to Gongke City late at night with Yueshan and fifty guards, Dong Xing had already gone to the soldiers and horses in the city, so when Chuyang arrived, the doorman did not dare to interrogate, and directly opened the city gate to let the people in.
Then the soldiers under the city gate led the way to lead Chuyang and others to the Taishou Mansion, Dong Xingzheng led several generals in the Gongke to greet them outside the mansion, and went in to see Qiulu and others who arrived early, and after some questioning, Dong Xing let Chuyang sit down first.
After sitting down, Chu Yang said directly: "Repair for one night tonight, and after tomorrow, Zhang Feng will lead 5,000 soldiers back to Qingyun, and escort grain and grass to Gongke at any time." ”
Zhang Cheng hurriedly received the order.
"May I ask Dong Taishou, how many soldiers, horses, grain and grass are there in Gongke City?" asked Dong Xing again.
"There are 60,000 horses and infantry troops, and they hoard grain and grass for a year. Dong Xing clenched his fists and replied.
Chu Yang nodded and pondered, chatted with everyone for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
In the next few days, Chuyang continuously sent Xizuo to Wei to investigate, and after some exploration, it was as he guessed, although there were a large number of military camps near the border, but after Xizuo put on makeup, he knew that most of them were empty camps, and the entire military horses around Lengzhou added up to only 150,000 people. There are several cities in Xialiang, and there are two cities further to the west, one is called Xia County, and the other is called Chizhu, and the soldiers and horses in these cities are also very small, and they are no more than a thousand people.
However, there is a large city of Anyu that covers an area of an extremely wide area and is equivalent to the county of Hanguo Prefecture thousands of miles away, and there are no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there are 100 brave generals! Although the news in Anyu City has only been heard in detail, and has not been seen with his own eyes, it should not be underestimated, and it is better to be cautious!
After confirming the people of the seven cities in the north, Chu Yang felt an unbearable excitement in his heart, and called together with his own military general, Jiagong Ke Nei Wenwu, and said: "The purpose of my expedition this time is to attack and defend, and now the six cities in the north are all small and outnumbered, and it is a good time for me to send troops!"
"General, don't wait for the imperial court's soldiers and horses, and if you want to send troops but don't ask the imperial court for instructions...... It's easy to cause trouble!" Qiu Lu was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists and said.
"I will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected! I have my own arrangements here, and you will do it. Chu Yang smiled mysteriously.
At the moment, whether it was Qiulu and other generals or Gong Ke Taishou Dong Xing and others, they all knelt down and hugged their fists after glancing at each other: "Obey the general's arrangement!"
After Chu Yang sat down and returned to the case, he ordered several generals one by one: "Now the troops are divided into four routes, Qiu Lu leads 30,000 soldiers and horses to take Chi Zhu! Cheng Yuan leads 40,000 soldiers and horses, and leads Zhao Fan to take Zhongliang! The last route is Tao Dai as the vanguard, and Zhou Bei and Han Zheng lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to take down Liang! The team is urgent, and it is urgent to set off immediately!"
After finishing speaking, he stood up again, took out three silk cloth wrapped brocade bags from his arms, handed them to the third general, and said, "After taking the city, open it and take a look." ”
The three of them didn't ask any more questions, and immediately nodded and set off to go to the camp to set off.
Then Dong Xing stepped forward and asked, "May I ask the general, there are 150,000 people stationed at the border, how to deal with it?"
"If he had 150,000 men guarding the city, it would have been difficult to deal with it, but his 150,000 men were stationed outside, and they were scattered all over the place. Now I have sent troops and horses to occupy the three cities, leaving only the nearest Wei County. Those 150,000 people are not allowed to enter or retreat, and I have cut off the way to reinforce in the outer city, so that the 150,000 horses are not like turtles in the urn?
Dong Xing's eyes lit up after hearing this, at this moment he admired Chu Yang from the bottom of his heart, and he could come up with a strategy to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle at the first moment he learned about the enemy's soldiers and horses, he became a second-rank military general at the age of twenty-one, and he did have this capital!
Ordinary strategies are issued, and others will only praise them when they succeed, but why did Dong Xing admire Chu Yang immensely the moment he said it? Just because he was amazed by Chu Yang's calculation and boldness! In fact, there was no need for the Chu Yang faction to investigate carefully, Dong Xing knew the strength of the nearby city from the beginning, but he and Guo Gan did not dare to act rashly, just because they cared too much about the 150,000 heavy soldiers!
When I was fighting, I only wanted to lead troops and horses straight in, but I didn't want to be active and scheming, and I could only rely on overwhelming strength to win, but now with Chuyang's strategy, it is not difficult to win more with less!
After waiting for the order, Tanma reported that the soldiers and horses of the three routes were close to the city to be captured, and Chuyang immediately mobilized the remaining 50,000 horses in Gongke to go out of the city as quickly as possible to attack the 150,000 Wei soldiers stationed outside.
When the decision was made, Dong Xing and the others were still taken aback, although they knew that they could win more with less by strategizing, but the threefold gap between 50,000 and 150,000 was a bit big! Dong Xing hurriedly asked: "Is this move a bit risky by the general? Wouldn't it be better to cut off their food and grass supply after occupying the city, and tell him to make chaos without a fight?"
"If you don't send troops, the three cities will be recaptured by these 150,000 people, and I will go out this time not to annihilate the 150,000 horses of the Wei State, but to contain them, so that the three cities of Chizhu, Zhongliang, and Xialiang can stand firm. Chu Yang shook his head and explained.
After hearing this, Dong Xing suddenly realized, it turned out that not only the bottom of the kettle was drawn, but also the sound of attacking the west!
With Chuyang with 50,000 elite soldiers set out to guerrilla Wei 150,000 horses abroad, so that the Wei soldiers who knew that their cities were captured had the intention to return to the division to rescue but were helpless, and finally it took only one day, and the three routes of military horses easily occupied the three cities defended by no soldiers.
In this way, it can be regarded as a complete opening of the national war between the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei.
