The Battle of Puzhou Chapter 228 The two dynasties actually met
Wei Ran didn't really treat Yuwenzhi in the Southern Qi camp, after all, the distribution of the Southern Qi military camp was inconvenient for Yuwenzhi to know
He had Yu Wenzhi brought to his flagship, and since Wei Ran was transporting troops by warship, the warship he was on was the flagship.
This is also the first time that Yuwenzhi has come into contact with the warships of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the appearance looks the same as the warships built in the north, but because the Southern Dynasty is good at making bows and crossbows, there are many internal mysteries.
Yu Wenzhi looked at Wei Ran's ship, and under the guidance of his personal guards, he went to a room in the cabin.
Wei Ran was leisurely leaning on the couch in the room at this time, and when he saw Yuwenzhi coming, Wei Ran immediately got up and motioned for Yuwenzhi to sit down.
After Yuwen Zhi sat down calmly, Wei Ran spoke: "I heard that General Yuwen came alone, and he has the demeanor of Lu Su. ”
Yuwen also immediately slapped his ass at this moment: "King Qin's false praise, he is not Guan Gong in the next, how can Lu Su be compared with King Qin?" ”
Wei Ran obviously didn't want to dwell on this kind of polite words, and then said: "This king suffered heavy losses outside Luoyang City, and he wanted to besiege Luoyang to relieve the siege for the Gui Dynasty, but he didn't expect that Fuqu Chengran actually left most of the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, which led to my defeat by Qingzhou He Basheng, and General Zhang Gui was also unfortunately killed. ”
Yuwen didn't know the inside story until this time, Wei Ran actually suffered a defeat in Luoyang, no wonder he only thought of solving the frustration together now.
But the deep meaning of Wei Ran's words also made Yu Wenzhi feel gloomy, and Wei Ran's implication was that most of the army was in Luoyang, how did the Gui Dynasty lose Puzhou and Tongguan again.
Yu Wenzhi was embarrassed: "Unfortunately, I fell into the plan of Frustration, I am really ashamed." ”
Wei Ran nodded, and then spoke: "After thinking about it, the frustration is admittedly insufficient, the king is really difficult to sleep, now that the East Qin occupies Tongguan, it is equivalent to opening the door to Chang'an, the East Qin is already strong, it will not take a few years, the dynasty will die, the lips will die and the teeth will be cold, the king may be able to resist the East Qin, if the king is gone, it is really impossible not to take precautions." ”
Yu Wenzhi saw that Wei Ran was so open and honest, and he no longer concealed it at the moment, and immediately revealed his plan and inventory.
It turned out that he attacked Tongguan today, and if nothing else, Sima Linhai would also attack Tongguan on the other side, which would admittedly create a false impression of attacking Tongguan on both sides.
Secondly, he reduced the food of the soldiers yesterday, and in addition to the panic and hunger for several days, the soldiers were exhausted and lacked food and grass, so they looked weak and low in combat effectiveness.
Wei Ran said at this time: "The general deliberately showed weakness, did he want to lure Fuqu out of the city to face the battle?" ”
Yu Wenzhi nodded, but shook his head again: "There is no need to be frustrated, as long as there are generals who lead their troops to fight, they will definitely suffer heavy losses if they are ambushed by us, and there are not too many defenders in Tongguan City, judging from the news of King Qin, there are more than twenty or thirty thousand people." If this strategy can be used to consume some of the men and horses, then the defenders of Tongguan will inevitably be empty, and it will be possible to break through under the flanking attack. ”
Wei Ran analyzed it carefully and felt that what Yu Wenzhi said was quite reasonable, but then he asked a key question; "How much grain is there in Tongguan?"
Yuwen Zhihao thought for a moment, and then replied: "It is enough for an army of 50,000 to support a year." ”
Wei Ran almost jumped up from the couch at this time, it was really a pass and a grain and grass, it was simply ridiculous.
With so much food, it is true that if there are really 30,000 people in the Guan, it is enough to drag down the two dynasties.
Yu Wenzhi immediately explained: "Therefore, I have begun to use suspicious tactics, and Fuqu sincerely wants to quickly repel our army and drive our army out of the pass, because the Gui Dynasty is still stationed in Yangcheng, and it is impossible for Min Shiyuan and Yuan Frame of Eastern Qin to stay on the front line for a long time. ”
Wei Ran calmed down at this time, and felt that this was indeed the case, and it was true that Fuqu was left behind in Luoyang of Eastern Qin after all, and Daxingtai in Henan, how could he stay in Tongguan for a long time.
Wei Ran then brought a simple sand table, in which Tongguan, Luoyang, Hongnong, Yangcheng, and Puzhou were all marked by Wei Ran, and he said to Yu Wenzhi: "The main purpose of this battle is to recapture Tongguan and consume the troops of Eastern Qin at the same time. If the general's suspicious plan is successful, Fuqu will indeed send someone to ask for reinforcements, Tongguan and Puzhou support each other, it seems to be a horn situation, but now we have abundant troops, not afraid of the front and rear attacks, but can take the opportunity to take Puzhou. ”
After Wei Ran pulled out the banner of Puzhou, he said: "If Puzhou is taken, then Dongqin can only transfer reinforcements from Luoyang, He Batsheng has just made a military exploit, at this time he is full of confidence, if you want to send troops to support Tongguan, it must be He Batsheng, Xianbei cavalry is quite disciplined, you need to lead them to a small place, and then encircle and annihilate it, I brought the son of the original Qingzhou Thorn History Duan Rival, Duan Weiyang, He Batsheng dreamed of getting rid of this person, seeing Duan Weiyang will definitely not let go, just can invite you into the urn. ”
In the end, Yuwen Zhi planted the banner of Yangcheng near Luoyang: "As long as the Qingzhou soldiers come out of Luoyang, Liu Renye has mobilized tens of thousands of Huainan and Huaibei troops to attack Luoyang together, and put pressure on Fuqu, if Luoyang can be captured, then Tongguan is a lonely city, and Fuqu is admittedly even if he has great ability, he can only be destroyed with Tongguan in the end." ”
Yu Wenzhi nodded: "In the battle of the siege, King Qin has always been new. ”
Yu Wenzhi then remembered his fear of being dominated by Wei Ran's siege in Xinting that day, everyone only knew that Wei Ran was the champion of the three armies on the battlefield, but they didn't know that he was even more handy in the siege.
Wei Ran set the tone for this battle at this time: "In this battle, I will levy no less than 100,000 land and water troops, and the 30,000 army of General Wang Xian of Hanging Gourd City is already on the way, and I am now 30,000 troops here, General Yuwen can continue to use the strategy of doubtful soldiers tomorrow, but tonight I still let most of the soldiers be fed, leaving only a small number of henchmen and elites, so that they can stay hungry and attract Fuqu to be fooled, and then the army retreats south to the mountains, we set up an ambush here, but it can be broken in a battle." ”
After hearing this, Yuwen Zhi thought that Wei Ran's thoughts coincided with him, and he also wanted to act like this, but now Wei Ran saw through it first, which made him have a deeper fear of Wei Ran.
However, Yu Wenzhi did not intend to inform Wei Ran about the attack on Puzhou, and he also knew in his heart that it was best for Southern Qi to maintain the status quo between Eastern Qin and Western Qin as before, if this battle was won, Eastern Qin would not have enough troops in a short period of time to prevent Dugu Ao from building Jade City on Emei Plateau, and the offensive and defensive postures of the two sides would be reversed.
But Wei Ran's next words made Yuwen Zhi break out in a cold sweat.
I saw Wei Ran say slowly: "Returning the favor to the other in his way, didn't General Yuwen think of taking advantage of the arrival of Puzhou to rescue Tongguan and attack Puzhou City from the west bank of the Yellow River?" Only allow hundreds to change into Eastern Qin costumes and pretend to be deserters, you can deceive the city gate of Puzhou, and then the Qin army on the west bank of the Yellow River crosses the river. ”
