Chapter 405: Bianzhou Decisive Battle: Yangmou VS Yangmou, Mingpai!
As soon as the sky turned white, Pei Mingren, who had been sleepless all night, stepped out of the military tent and walked in the barracks followed by several guards.
Unconsciously, the group walked to the camp gate, and Pei Mingren, who had a worried face, looked up at the military camp in the distance, which was already a little dilapidated.
Although in front of Zhang Shaozhang and Zhong Xianjun, he proposed to divide his troops and resisted the frontal attack without hesitation, Pei Mingren himself was not as confident as he appeared.
For no other reason, the forbidden army in front of him was too strong, so strong that it exceeded his expectations.
The reason why the three have been able to work together until now is only because several commanders with troops are aware of the delicate situation now.
From the northeast to the southwest, from Tubo and Nanzhao to the Liaodong tribes, from the three towns of Hebei to the two rivers of Jiannan, from Silla and Baekje to the island country......
The anti-Tang forces covered almost all the forces around the Tang Dynasty, and on the surface, the anti-Tang forces seemed to be unprecedentedly strong.
However, these happy old handsomes know very well that behind this seemingly powerful thing is the different interests and different needs of various forces, and the intrigue between various forces behind different forces.
For example, the three towns of Hebei, although on the surface they are the biggest supporters and supporters of Chen Hongzhi, the initiator.
But in fact, the three towns of Hebei are self-contained and have never taken other forces to heart.
As for the so-called initiator Chen Hongzhi, in the eyes of Hebei, he is no different from a rag, and as for the plan he proposed for Tubo and Hebei to coordinate an attack on Guanzhong, it was trampled on the ground by the three towns of Hebei from the beginning.
As for the reason, it is partly due to distrust of other people, but of course more importantly due to the reluctance to share benefits.
According to the plan jointly formulated by General Liu, Tian Ji'an, Wang Chengzong, and their generals, the Hebei army should wait until the Tubo people make a move before sending troops.
Moreover, the direction of sending troops should not be the direction of Bianzhou and Jianghuai, but should follow the original route of An Lushan and Shi Siming to Luoyang, waiting for the opportunity to capture Tongguan and take Chang'an.
After all, Li Tang's qi is not exhausted!
Especially in recent years, Li Tang has not only been exhausted, but also has a tendency to revive and re-ascend to the top, otherwise there would not be so many anti-Tang forces jumping over the wall to join forces.
In the case that Li Tang's qi is not exhausted, learning the path of An Lushan and Shi Siming, and directly killing Chang'an, is the right way.
According to Chen Hongzhi's tandem, Tubo, Jiannan, and Hebei should send troops together in the summer, and the two sides will attack from the two sides, and the million-strong army will advance at the same time, so that Li Tang will not be able to connect with each other.
If Li Tang's strength is not enough, the two armies can directly push the Tang army, enter Guanzhong, and take Chang'an.
Even if Li Tang's strength is strong enough and his background is thick enough to really resist the two armies, then Chang'an, Guanzhong, and Datang's forces will definitely be emptied, which gives the rebels lurking in Guanzhong a chance.
When Chang'an is extremely empty, they will attack Chang'an, and Li Tang will lose all opportunities at that time.
After Ju Wenzhen's death, Chen Hongzhi himself was just a lost dog, but Chen Hongzhi's plan to destroy the Tang Dynasty was not impossible.
Even, when Guo Rong obtained the complete version of Chen Hongzhi's strategy for destroying the Tang Dynasty from Wu Shaoxiong, what he felt was not shock but fear.
Because if all the anti-Tang people follow Chen Hongzhi's time and plan, it will be a drop in the bucket to rely on the 200,000 forbidden army that has just been established.
Under their joint attack, there is no second possibility for Datang to be dismembered.
However, in fact, it has been proved that the anti-Tang forces with a complex structure have never really been single-minded, and the three towns of Hebei are right not to give hope to the so-called allies!
Because it was not only them who did not send troops at the agreed time, but the three towns of Hebei Province.
Because the Tibetans did not send troops either!
This makes the so-called two-way attack extremely ridiculous, and also exposes the essence of the so-called anti-Tang alliance.
According to Chen Hongzhi's plan, July and August of the fourth year of Yuanhe should have been the most dangerous and even life-and-death moment in Datang.
Although there are various considerable or subjective factors, by chance, the Tubo-Jiannan-Nanzhao coalition army and the three towns of Lulong-Weibo-Chengde Hebei, which are the real main forces of the anti-Tang coalition army, chose to watch from the wall and stand still.
At that time, Guo Rong did not know the real reason why the Tubo people did not move, and Nima Bazar had already entered Chengdu Prefecture, but this did not delay Guo Rong from thinking of the "strange war" that occurred more than a thousand years later.
If it weren't for the swan song of the historian and the strange war between Britain and France that was speechless, how could the art students who failed the list have a chance to win most of the Obarro.
Guo Rong doesn't think that he is worse than the art students who fell off the list, on the grand strategy, Guo Rong believes that he will not command randomly, one-on-one, Guo Rong is confident that the art student who fell off the list, the Bohemian corporal, will beat Eva to the point that he doesn't know.
This is why Guo Rong is abnormal, taking advantage of the time difference, after defeating the Huaixi Army, he changed his strategy, large-scale incorporation of the Fanzhen Army, and a large army raided Jiaodong, completely defeating Li Shidao's minions and followers left in Jiaodong.
Under the pressure of hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers approaching the city, the reason why Guo Rong was able to calmly transfer troops, grain and grass, and manpower from the outside line was precisely because he cleared out Jiaodong and Huaixi, eliminated the hidden dangers of the decisive battle, and laid the foundation for the decisive battle.
Otherwise, when Guo Rong and the Hebei rebels went to war, Wu Shaoxiong and Li Shidao did not need to go to war directly at all, but only needed to send troops to harass them, so that Guo Rong could not requisition the grain and grass of Jianghuai, and Guo Rong's plan for the decisive battle of Bianzhou would die in the womb.
Of course, for Guo Rong, the strategic initiative is still relative, and only when the remaining hundreds of thousands of rebels are really killed, everything can be regarded as settled.
Although Tan Zhong lost the battle, and even he himself was killed, but if you count it seriously, Tan Zhong is not a loser.
Because he used himself to find the way for the remaining three old marshals!
not only discovered the black powder that Guo Rong used as the hole card, but even forced Guo Rong to consume the black powder.
It found out Guo Rong's confidence, the combat effectiveness of the Changying Army, and Guo Rong's tactical intentions and strategic goals.
Not only that, but at the time of defeat, he sent his confidant Zhen Bingliang to withdraw to the position of the main force of the rebels with more than 10,000 elite cavalry.
More than 10,000 cavalry left enough maneuver for the rebels, but this was not the most precious.
The most precious thing is that through Zhen Bingliang, Tan Zhong completely brought back the information that he and their army had discovered, and in a sense, it was equivalent to knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent.
Zhang Shaozhang, Zhong Xianjun, and Pei Mingren are slightly younger than Tan Zhong, but they are all veterans.
Although there is no accurate information that Jiaodong Li Shidao and Huaixi Wu Shaoxiang had an accident, the Central Plains have been completely open for nearly a month, and no trace of them has been found, which is already very revealing.
In their opinion, Li Shidao and Wu Shaoxiang had either learned from Han Hong and led the Xuanwu army to Chang'an, or they were killed while they were still moving.
At this moment, there is no essential difference between these two kinds for them, they have hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands, and the other party has tens of thousands, and tens of thousands less have little impact, and even, they still feel that without these two followers, the cake that can be shared is even bigger.
It's just that the premise is that they can win!
As for the victory, the three veterans don't seem to be worried, because on the basis of this information, it is enough for the three veterans to speculate about Guo Rong's tactical goals and strategic goals.
In a sense, Guo Rong's plan is also a conspiracy.
That is, after using Bianzhou to attract the attention of his Hebei army, and after clearing the hidden dangers of the back of the Tang Dynasty, the main force of the Hebei Army led by the three of them was trapped in Henan.
Then, he used the inexhaustible resources of Datang to completely exhaust the main force of his hundreds of thousands of Hebei Army.
For Guo Rong's naked conspiracy, the three old marshals also had to say a word of service, and for Guo Rong himself, the three old marshals also gave a young handsome man, and the future is immeasurable in time.
This may not seem like a low evaluation, but this kind of thing is not the same thing when it comes out of the mouth of an opponent.
Just as Boss Cao commented that Boss Liu is "a hero in the world, only the king and the ear," and when he evaluated Sun Quan, it was "to give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou".
Because, at that time, in the eyes of several rebel commanders, failure, how could it be a failure, although Tan Zhong died, but Hebei was still replenishing their troops and resources.
Excluding the 100,000 people taken away by Tan Zhong, the remaining troops are still more than 300,000, and it is still a situation of flying dragons with a population of 200.
With a population of two hundred, the flying dragon is up, and Tan Zhong has already measured the opponent's tactical goals and strategic objectives, at least Zhang Shaozhang, Zhong Xianjun, and Pei Mingren can't imagine how they will lose.
It's just that they only paid attention to Guo Rong's strategic and tactical purposes, and ignored the hard power shown by Guo Rong in defeating the 100,000 Lu Long elite head-on in the first battle.
Of course, maybe they noticed.
But the three old commanders thought that they were also yang conspiracy, but they were just yang conspiracy under the advantage of hundreds of thousands of troops.
They were immersed in their own atmosphere, immersed in the two hundred population, and under the advantage of the flying dragon riding face, they marched eastward, killed that Guo Rong, and then returned to the division and took Bianzhou......
The ideal is very plump, but it is very backbone at first, and the rebels who are advancing eastward in the overall situation collide head-on with the Changying army reserved by Guo Rong.
When they first arrived on the battlefield, the three-day bloody battle did not alert them, and the battle damage of 30,000 people was like a drop in the bucket in their eyes.
However, after finally taking the first camp and coming another, still with the same defensive intensity as ever, they knew that they finally realized that they had ignored the most important message that Tan Zhong had sent.
After hearing what they had heard more than once again from Zhen Bingliang's mouth, these three commanders knew very well their situation, they couldn't kill Guo Rong's troops, and they could only be killed.
Standing quietly at the camp gate, looking at the other party's dilapidated camp, Pei Mingren shook his head with a wry smile.
"It's still Lao Tan's eyes," as he spoke, Pei Mingren squinted his eyes and stared at the other party's prosperous camp of the Changying Army, which had already raised the smoke of the cooking.
"It's a pity, I knew that I should have listened to Lao Tan's judgment and led the army directly eastward, wasting so many days, otherwise how could they ......"
As he spoke, Pei Mingren's expression became a little hideous.
At this moment, he reacted, he had already read Tan Zhong's thoughts and purposes, but he didn't want to listen to it, or he was jealous of Tan Zhong's transcendent position in Lu Longjun.
Originally, he was still thinking about whether to save his strength again, so that Wei Bo and Chengde could do more, but at this moment, Pei Mingren, who had not slept all night and his eyes were full of blood, felt that his mind had become extremely clear, and if he preserved his strength and intrigued, he could only die without a place to be buried!
"Order, attack!"
"Dashuai, now?"
Suddenly, with an angry roar, several guards around Pei Mingren were stunned for a while, and now the sky has just begun to shine, and the sun has not even risen.
Although the smoke of the cooking in the camp was wafting, most of the soldiers were still asleep, and at this time they only gave the order to attack, no wonder they felt confused.
"Yes, now!"
After a slight pause, Pei Mingren slowly turned his head and looked at the several guards and generals who were following behind him.
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, if I don't see the attacking soldiers, you guys will come and see you!"
"In addition, pass on my military order, before sunset, I will take the enemy camp in front of me, if I can't take the big camp, I will apologize with death, but before I die, I will kill all the generals for my burial......"
The hideous faces, blood-red eyes, and the sound of spitting air soaked their souls at once.
Pei Mingren's meaning has been so clear that it couldn't be clearer!
Although this old handsome man is more gentle, no one will doubt whether he dares to kill people, and whether he will kill people all of a sudden!
Immediately afterwards, all kinds of orders began in the rebel camp that had been silent all night, as well as all kinds of ghosts and wolf howls, not that no one had the gas to get up, but under the horizontal knife and spear, people who had the gas to get up did not need to worry about getting up at all.
Although it was early in the morning, Pei Mingren's words were quickly spread throughout the entire camp and even the entire rebel army, which naturally included Zhang Shaozhang and Zhong Xianjun.
Obviously, Pei Mingren has set an example, and Zhang Shaozhang and Zhong Xianjun, who have enough understanding of their situation, no longer hesitate, and almost the same order was issued.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a thousand-strong rebel infantry staggered out of the camp, and in the rear camp, more soldiers were constantly awakened.
It was also early in the morning, and the camp was much calmer, and after the camp was simply filled, everyone except the cooks took advantage of the last opportunity to rest before the battle.
Then, as soon as the cooking class started, the sound of the sentry's trumpet came from the watchtower.
"Enemy attack!"
