Chapter 381: The Tiger Enters the Mountains
Although He Ruobi has lost several battles in succession, this has not affected his prestige at all, after all, Huang Fayan, Lu Guangda and others are all famous generals, and Huang Fabi is a veteran, but it is not ashamed to lose in their hands.
Everyone knows that if someone else is replaced to lead the troops, it would be good not to be wiped out by others, but it is not all up to the ability of He Ruobi to get out completely? Therefore, everyone dared not have any objections to He Ruobi's decision.
Only Gao Jingan's face was not quite right, and after the generals dispersed, Gao Jingan was still in the tent, obviously having something to say to He Ruobi. He Ruobi's eyelids pinched him, and he sighed slightly and said, "The general has something to say, why bother to spit it out?" β
Literally, it seems to be very polite, but combined with He Ruobi's impatient tone and scrutinizing gaze, it seems to be a bit yin and yang, how it sounds like sarcasm, which makes Gao Jingan a little unable to get off the stage immediately.
But He Ruobi didn't know, and he wouldn't care.
After all, his only chance to turn the tables is to lose it in the hands of this person.
This person rescued Hefei, Hefei was lost, Liyang was guarded, Liyang was lost!
caused He Ruobi's plan to trap and annihilate Huang Fa to all of them fail, not to mention that Huang Fa was led by the nose, when he was in Dongguan...... If he takes another step late, I'm afraid he will die like Zhang Yuanfan! In his opinion, it is already very face-saving if he does not give Gao Jingan to military law, so what about a few words of ridicule?
In fact, He Ruobi is a bit difficult for a strong man, and he doesn't know how dangerous the situation is for Gao Jingan, Zhang Yuanfan and others, not to mention Gao Jingan, even He Ruobi is actually very weak-hearted, otherwise he wouldn't have withdrawn his troops and walked west as soon as he heard that Huang Fayan was coming...... Although He Ruobi has a keen sense of smell and wants to get rid of the current predicament and find a fighter again, there is also a big reason for his fear of Huang Fayan.
Huang Fayan and He Ruobi have fought more than a dozen direct or indirect battles, rare defeats, He Ruobi knows the horror of this veteran of the Southern Dynasty, if the command is determined, the use of troops is steady, and all kinds of battles are in the calculation...... Although He Ruobi is a genius, he can fight tough battles and tricks, and his command ability is becoming more and more mature in the continuous training, but Huang Fayan still has to steadily suppress him after all.
Monsters are not scary, scary are old monsters.
After several setbacks, He Ruobi already knew that Huang Fayan was invincible for the time being, and his resentment towards Gao Jingan was just anger. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I had gone too far, so I said softly:
"I'm sorry, the bad news has been coming one after another recently, and I really don't know what to do, forgive me for the faux pas."
Gao Jingan is actually a person who is easy to get along with, and he also knows that the enemy is current, and it is not appropriate to have infighting, He Ruobi's stinky temper, just endure it. So he only nodded slightly, and when the matter was lightly revealed, he asked in a hoarse voice:
"The southern soldiers have conquered Dongguan, the next step must be to attack Lujiang, it is inevitable that Lujiang will not be able to hold the general's withdrawal, but why is it Qi'an, Huozhou has all grain and grass, and there is terrain, and it is far away from Shouyang, it is the best choice......"
"βThe king's words are fallacious." He Ruobi replied almost immediately: "If Chen Bing did not arrange the western front, then it would naturally be the best choice for us to retreat to Huozhou, but Fan Yi has already left the east, and it is inappropriate for us to stay in Huozhou." Moreover, Huozhou may not be safe. β
Gao Jingan waited solemnly, and He Ruobi calmly revealed all the calculations in his abdomen:
"Although Huozhou has soldiers and money, and is close to the river, and the back of Huoshan can be a fence, it seems that you can guard a guard, waiting for reinforcements, this place seems to be close to Shouyang, but across a Shaobei is like a moat every other day, expecting Shouyang across a big lake to send troops to rescue, it is obviously unrealistic.
"On the other hand, how far can Lujiang be from Huozhou, if I retreat to Huozhou, Lu Guangda and Huang Fayan will definitely come to chase after me, in case Zhou Jiong on the western front also comes to attack me, wouldn't this be my own death?"
"Moreover, as far as the entire battle situation is concerned, Huozhou is really a chicken rib existence and has no strategic significance. The Metropolitan Governor wanted us to intercept Fan Yi in order to prevent him from choking the mouth of the Yingkou, lest Wu Mingche's strategy of encircling him on all sides take shape.
"Think about it, let's stay in Huozhou, even if we can defeat Huang and Lu? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Zhou Jiong stops in Bazhou? At the strategic level, the gains and losses of one city and one place can be calculated. Once they succeed in their plan and tie their pockets tightly, not only will most of us die, but we will all be wiped out. β
"I see."
Gao Jingan said suddenly, there was a feeling of instant insight into the overall situation, he thought about it, and then asked:
"Since the southern army on the western front is about to be launched, why don't we go to Bazhou and Luozhou, so as to block the enemy's city, why do we have to run to Qi'an...... Lu Qian also has 20,000 soldiers and horses in hand, wouldn't it be better for us to join forces with them? β
He Ruobi shook his head and sighed: "King, you want to go to Qi'an again, we can only go to Qi'an, and we can't go there, you must know that there are two roads on the Western Front, all the way Zhou Jiong, all the way Fan Yi, since Fan Yi is going to attack Yingkou, then Zhou Jiong must have come to sweep the Jiangbei Prefectures, think about it again, if Zhou Jiong doesn't launch, will Fan Yi go first?" Apparently impossible.
"A few days ago, Fan Yi's troops went out of Jiangxia, so Zhou Jiong's official start of attack will not be far away...... Although Lu Qian also has 20,000 soldiers and horses, but what is his ability and what is the combat strength of his department, you must also know that Lu Qian will not be Zhou Jiong's opponent, even if we pass, we will only be run over again, but it is better not to go, although the military strength of the Southern Dynasty is weak, but the general is like a cloud, not to be underestimated. β
After speaking, He Ruobi, who had a more specific judgment in his heart, was silent, and a more specific judgment would have to be made after he officially moved to Qi'an...... The control of the Northern Qi in the Jiangbei Prefectures was too scattered, the defense line was too long, and there were many waterways between Huaisi and Si, which were colluded with each other, and the defensive forces in various places were scattered, and it was impossible to organize to resist the enemy in a short time.
Once he rashly went to war, he would immediately be known by Chen Jun, and the idea of relying on various strongholds to fight was never reliable.
If we want to win the whole war, we must go straight to the crux of the problem, and it is not right to argue with the southern army for long and short points.
He Ruobi is a northerner, so he uses the northerner's way of playing: with his few ways, he only goes all the way, and he is reckless in the end, who is afraid of who is the grandson!
After He Ruobi made a decision, he really gave up the Lujiang River, and after attacking the Chen army in the future, he burned off the baggage with a fire, and turned directly west into Dabie Mountain, inserted it from the end of the remaining veins, and went straight out of Yingshan and across Bashui......
Chen Jun from Dongguan tried several times and determined that Lujiang was already an empty city, so he dared to step into the occupation and reported to Huang Fayan, the commander of the Western Route Army.
The smell of gunsmoke can be faintly smelled on the dilapidated Liyang City Tower, and the light rain for a few days can not cover it, and the veteran Huang Fayan of the Southern Dynasty stood on top of the city pass, holding the city wall to look into the distance.
After Dongguan was captured, the entire Hezhou had actually been wiped out by him, but he still maintained the habit of fighting horses for many years, and he still kept his sword in his hand and his armor on his body...... Standing on the city, while looking at the misty mountain scenery shrenched in smoke and rain, while listening to the military report of his subordinates, when he heard that the Lujiang River was empty and He Ruobi was nowhere to be found, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:
"In this way, He Ruobi still escaped?"
"Yes," Lu Guangda said in a deep voice.
"Not only that, but Lujiang's baggage, grain and grass were also burned by him, he fled at night, and some people say that he saw the army going west......"
"Let the tiger go back to the mountain." Huang Fayan commented, "Another Wang Lin." β
"Do you want to send troops to chase after you?"
"There's no need to chase, people are carefully designed to go, but they have a full countermeasure, and when he drills into the mountains, can you catch them?" Huang Fayan frowned slightly, and then said: "This person's art of war and scheming has gradually become the climate, and sooner or later it will be a big trouble." β
"The general is clever, he expects the matter to happen before it happens, and there is a general in charge, are you afraid that he will succeed in a small way?"
Huang Fayan said with a wry smile: "There are talents in the country, and it is always the new people who want to replace the old ones, even if they are born generals, no one will fight as soon as they come, and they always have to fall step by step before they stand up...... When I was young, I went around to fight and suppress barbarians, and I suffered countless injuries and illnesses, and when it came to a rainy day, my whole body hurt terribly, and the pain has been especially severe recently. β
"The general is tough, he will be fine, the general is older than the general, and he is not the same as leading the troops to kill the enemy?"
"People can't be compared," Huang Fayan shook his head and said: "After defeating the Lujiang River, we have to slow down, we have few troops, and we must digest the territory before we can continue to fight." Originally, the agreed military strategy was that I would only be dispatched in March or April to sweep the tail, but I launched it ahead of schedule, and now I have not kept up with the baggage, money, food, and equipment in the back, so it is difficult. β
"The general knows that it is best to dispatch in March and April, so why bother to set off to the north now, our army is well arranged this time, and there is no reason to be defeated."
"What you said is all based on common sense, is Wang Lin a person who can use common sense?"
Huang Fayan said: "You must know that there is no reason to win any battle. If you don't think about winning, you should lose first. At present, it seems that our army is so powerful that Wang Lin does not dare to move forward, but my country's military strength and national strength are not as good as those of the Northern Dynasties, and I am afraid that the follow-up will not be enough to last.
"Lu Qian has won the hearts of the people, Wang Lin's power in Huainan is even more intertwined, and there are many children of the wealthy family in Huainan who are officials in the court, and the interests are related, how can we easily get our wishes, how to attack the strategy, how to clean up the hearts of the people, are all problems for the boss...... In short, do your best and listen to the destiny of heaven. β
"The general doesn't seem to be very optimistic about the situation of our army?"
"If your opponent is Wang Lin, are you optimistic?" Huang Fayan asked directly and coldly, forcing Lu Guangda and the generals to be speechless, "Wang Lin, a famous general in the world, when the Hou Jing Rebellion was quelled, this person was the first in military merit, and he could stand out from so many fierce generals, how could this martial artist be a simple commodity?" Not to mention, almost half of the generals in our dynasty are former subordinates of this person, just ask, which commander can still deal with this person calmly? β
β¦β¦
Bazhou, the shore of Bashui has become a sea of fire, and the crowds on both sides collide together like angry waves, turning up monstrous blood waves. Zhou Jiong, the general of the Southern Dynasty, and Lu Qian, the assassin of Bazhou in the Northern Dynasty, fought a decisive battle in the suburbs, people were like a swarm of ants, and in the war, countless lives were carried to destruction...... One formation after another was ploughed apart, and one after another died under the knife until a loud exclamation erupted from the crowd:
"-Lu Qian ran away! Qi people are defeated! β
Over time, the scales of war began to tilt!
