Chapter 254: Westward, Westward!!
"Barneyhan?"
Liu Ke sighed lightly, Banihan went to pursue the Donghu rout just now, why did he come back so soon?
Banihan came to Liu Ke and bowed his hand deeply.
The mixed smell of dust and sweat emanated from him, and his figure looked a little swaying under the candle.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Banihan's voice was a little hoarse, and he was already a little tired after killing all the way.
Liu Ke looked at him, already understanding how, and was inevitably a little surprised in his heart.
Barnihan is only twenty years old now, and he can have such calmness.
All the generals, including Chong Xuan, were chasing down the remnants of the Donghu people.
Only Banihan chose to return to the city in time after his meritorious service.
"What do you think?"
The two of them tacitly understood why the support was so timely.
I met Zhao Ning halfway, and Zhao Ning led the way!
Zhao Ning can get lost, but he will definitely not find the emperor.
It seems incomprehensible, but if it is placed on Zhao Ning, who has always been elusive, it is very reasonable.
Seeing Bani Han coming to see him, Liu Ke also dozed off and met the pillow, and was worried.
[Name: Barney Han (Bonshi)]
[Age: 20]
[Command: 92; Force: 88; Wisdom: 86; Governance: 49]
[Characteristics: heat-resistant, cold-resistant, moisture-resistant, drought-resistant, over mountains and mountains]
It has been four years since Barneyhan joined the company, and he has grown a lot in the past four years.
The two values of force and wisdom have basically reached the limit of the potential seen back then.
And the potential of governance is much higher than the original 47 points.
Only the command is still a little short of the limit of 98.
After all, there are not many opportunities for Banihan to lead an army alone, and he is still young, and there is still a lot of room for growth if he practices more.
All in all, both strategic vision and strategy.
Banihan is not bad, it is a fairly all-round inverter air conditioner.
And after following Yue Shaoqian, for a while, he was already the only person in Runan who could negotiate with him, except for Chong Xuan.
Banihan looked up, something different flashing in his eyes.
It's not that he doesn't covet merit, but he wants to covet greater merit.
The merit of killing the defeated soldiers is limited, how can he carry forward the lacquer tooth pattern?
After four years of dormancy, he had to prove his worth and ability, not only for himself, but also for the sake of the South Vietnamese people!
May all the people of the world be proud of their chiseled teeth!
"Your Majesty, we must take advantage of the unstable situation of the Donghu people, immediately launch a counteroffensive, go west, cooperate with Yue Shaobao, attack back and forth, take down the counties of Jingbei, and then Chen Bing Dao to resist the increase of troops in front of Pu."
Thinking about it, Banihan grinned unconsciously, revealing his lacquered teeth, and his voice was firm and powerful:
"The last general is confident that he will succeed in the surprise attack!"
Liu Ke looked at him and didn't speak.
There is some merit in Barneyhan's idea.
Although the three divisions are combined, plus the reinforcements that Wang Luo may have invited from the Murong Ministry, the number of soldiers and horses of the Donghu people may exceed 150,000.
But the amount of grain needed for such a large-scale mobilization of soldiers and horses is also an astronomical amount.
Even if the front part of Pu occupies the Huaisi grain and grass, which is extremely rich, it will take a while to supply so much grain.
This time for the dispatch of soldiers and horses gave Liu Ke and the Guiyi Army a chance.
Once, as Banihan said, the Guiyi army and Yue Shaoqian's soldiers and horses took the east and west roads, attacked the Puliuru army on the front line on both sides, and captured Wancheng and Xinye at the same time, they could use a defensive position to resist the follow-up army.
No matter how many soldiers and horses are transferred in front of Pu, they have to storm the city, and with the ability of the generals of the Han army, it is enough to defend the city.
After that, whether it is to find a way to seize Xiangyang, or to govern the local cultivation and recuperation, slow down, you can advance and retreat freely.
In other words, it's a game of every second.
If they can take the counties of Jingbei except Xiangyang before the front of Pu can mobilize enough grain to supply the army, then the great cause can be accomplished.
And if the front line is scorched, so that the front of Pu can mobilize 150,000 troops to go straight to Jingbei, the war may not go well.
However, Liu Ke felt that this was indeed an opportunity.
He penetrated deep into Runan, not only brought back the Guiyi army, but also eliminated the living forces in front of Pu, and had the possibility of outflanking the front and rear.
For facing three armies at the same time, it is already a great advantage to have this situation.
And once they succeed in forcibly taking Jingbei in the joint efforts of the three tribes, the other Donghu tribes should be even more fearful.
However, this kind of forcible fight for who will march faster, life and death depend on the way between the lines, and it is definitely not the best policy.
Just like this time, Liu Ke went deep into Runan, not only to rescue the Guiyi army, but also to encircle Wei and save Zhao and relieve some of the pressure on the front line.
It's a pity that Di Han and Hou Junyan did not take the opportunity to take Wancheng and Xinye at one time, but let the support of Pu Qianbu successfully enter Jingbei.
So much so that Yue Shaoqian was a little passive.
"Offense instead of defense"
Liu Ke thought about it for a moment or two, and suddenly a ghost came to his heart.
An army of 150,000 is strong?
"Yes, what General Ba said is that he immediately ordered the generals to prepare grain and prepare for the west!"
In the past, he had to find a way to gather the soldiers and horses of the Donghu people together, and destroy him in another wave.
Now that Pu Qianbu himself is together, isn't it just the right opportunity to give him a wave?
When the time comes, not only can Jingbei be taken, but it can even threaten Yanzhou and Yuzhou!
"Huh?"
Seeing that the emperor was so fierce, he actually responded directly, and Banihan, who proposed advice, was stunned.
No, I'm just suggesting that we don't talk to a few more people?
How can there be any reason to adopt it immediately after it is proposed?
Banihan's brows are knotted, if something happens, he can't take full responsibility?
"This matter is very important, and it can easily hurt tens of millions of soldiers."
"Please also ask Your Majesty to convene General Chong, General Zang, and Master Lu again to discuss one or two more?"
He automatically ignored Jing Daorong, the beard is quite likable, but it is obvious that his brain is not very bright.
Liu Ke immediately said:
"Since ancient times, decision-makers, one or two people are enough!"
"Convening the generals is just a matter of deliberation, and in the end they still can't come up with a charter."
"It's up to me to decide!"
Banihan: Huh?
Liu Ke didn't give him much time to reflect, and asked Banihan to go down to reorganize the army and raise grain.
I have to fight with the Donghu people for speed, what are you delaying?
However, Liu Ke also took another precaution, summoned a herald, and advised:
"You hurry out of Runan, find Man Huaiying, if you find any clan that does not cooperate with the ecological investigation, you will be placed under house arrest and taken to the front line."
"Yes!"
The herald was a little confused, what were you doing with the clan to the front?
Those wine bags and rice bags couldn't stand up even after the victory of the Han Army's Northern Expedition.
is not to bully men and women and harass the people, or to get drunk and dream of death.
What's the use of going to the front?
They all did not cooperate with the ecological survey.
Cut before the battle, boost morale?
It can indeed let the soldiers see that the officials of the Han Dynasty are clear and clean, and the rewards and punishments are moderate.
But has anything changed about the war?
The herald was puzzled, and did not understand why the emperor was in such a hurry to arrest people.
However, since the emperor had an order, he naturally did not delay, quickly received the order, found a fast horse and left.
Generally speaking, a group of 10,000 soldiers and horses, from packing up, to preparing grain and grass, to going on the expedition.
Unless you are Zhu Qizhen, sending troops is like playing a game, the 20th Army, Gaga, can be dispatched in two days.
Otherwise, it won't be possible in four or five days.
If you count the time spent supervising the transportation of grain and grass, sometimes it can even take more than half a month.
But Liu Ke and the Guiyi Army this time, from making a decision to order the three armies, to completing the whole equipment in front of them and going out tomorrow, it only took two days in total.
It's not that Liu Ke suddenly became a fortress, or that he has outstanding internal affairs ability and is like the wind in dispatching troops.
It's Lu Feng's father who really has a hand in scheduling.
In other words, Lu Feng's father was preparing the grain one step earlier, which greatly shortened the time.
Even when he began to speak Chinese, he began to teach the students while inquiring about the family conditions of those students.
A child of a big family in the world like the Yuan family sat in front.
The next level, a later row.
If you don't have an identity background, sit last.
Anyway, he directly figured out the distribution of the power of the big clans in Runan.
When it was time to ask for food, it was easy.
The children of the family sit so far in front of them, and give more apprenticeship or something, isn't it too much?
Especially after the big break Pu Qianguang, this group of big families didn't say anything.
What should be given, quite cooperative.
And Yuan Shen, the head of the Yuan family, also took the lead.
Should I say it or not, the Yuan clan can stand for hundreds of years, and there is indeed something in the clan.
"Your Majesty, Front Bulletin!"
A herald rushed to Liu Ke and handed over an urgent report.
Without the pursuit of Pu Qianguang's army, the ambush on all sides could not be achieved, and he only needed to deal with the soldiers and horses blocking the main road in front of Pu, and he could still find out some information.
"Di Han died in battle again?"
Liu Ke was speechless.
When Yuan Fu came, he brought the news that Di Han had been killed by an arrow.
When Jing Daorong came, he was killed by an arrow again.
Later, Banihan also mentioned a sentence or two.
Counting this time, in the first battle of Jingbei, Di Han began to take charge alone, and he died four times.
It's a bit outrageous.
However, if this kind of news can come out from the front, it means that the war is very anxious.
This gave the Donghu people the opportunity to spread the news falsely.
"Yao Chang in front of Pu led 50,000 troops, cooperated with the defenders of Wancheng and Xinye, and formed a joint encirclement of the main Han army of Di Han and Hou Junyan."
When the generals heard this, they all thought it was not good.
Originally, they were in a bit of a hurry to mobilize troops and horses, but they didn't expect that this had just mobilized good men and horses, and before they left the city, the news came.
Barnihan regretted it a little, if he could have discussed it for a few more days, and when he learned the news, he would have made a judgment.
It's not good now, if you want to encircle the army in front of Pu on both sides, you have to support the Han army on the front line.
Di Han's department was in a scorching situation, and Yue Shaoqian would definitely pay more attention to the battle situation in Wancheng and Xinye, and he couldn't take care of the 50,000 soldiers and horses in front of Pu for a while.
The number of troops is already small, and if they can't work together to deal with all the soldiers and horses wholeheartedly, even if they are copied by two, it will not have any effect.
Barnihan, who was only twenty years old, was in a state of panic.
The first time he advised to send troops, something went wrong.
If according to Banihan's subconscious thoughts, at this time he should give up westward expansion and continue to stir up the wind and rain in the rear of Pu Qian, and constantly harass him, so as to relieve the pressure on the front line.
But he's not in a rut now.
The military orders have been issued, or the emperor forcibly requires a rapid march, and the change of the order will inevitably affect the morale of the army, and it is not advanced or retreated for a while.
The most terrible thing is that Barnihan feels that if the two sides fail to encircle, not only will the front of Pu not be wiped out, but also the opportunity for the rear troops and horses to be mobilized, and he will definitely carry the cauldron.
When there is an accident, he may even be given up by the emperor to stabilize.
For a moment, Banihan was in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to choose.
"Now that it's decided, don't change it."
Liu Ke was like a spring breeze, and stepped forward to pat Barnihan on the shoulder.
"How can there be smooth sailing in the war, the so-called one drum, then decline, and three exhaustion."
"If you arrive as soon as possible, you may still be caught off guard by Yao Chang and the Pu Qianbu army on the front line, and if you delay for another day or two, you may be able to see your intentions."
"Now is the right time, since Di Han's department has encountered the main force, then Yao Chang will inevitably pay more attention to the battle in Jingbei and ignore our army."
"It's also an opportunity."
Since ancient times, heroes have come out of teenagers, and this is not true at all.
Barnihan did have the appearance of a famous general, but after a brief panic, he quickly calmed down.
Now that you've decided what to do next, don't hesitate any longer.
And it's just that the war is scorched, not defeated.
After all, they are the besieging party, and it is understandable that it is more difficult and more damaged.
Chong Xuan suddenly spoke:
"Yes, what Your Majesty said is that General Ba must not be cowardly."
"Fighting, fighting is a courage, if you don't even have the heart to fight the enemy, how can you talk about defeating the Donghu people?"
The most important thing that Chong Xuan lacks is courage, and this rapid westward expansion, combined with Yue Shaoqian's strategy of copying two sides, is very suitable for a general like him who is good at surprise attacks.
Relying on the surprise attack, he has already created a world in Runan County, and then go to Jingbei to beat Yao Chang and beat the three coalition forces, why not?
"That's it, just Chief Yao, it's not as good as my respect!!"
Jing Daorong was frozen in his ears because he had been ambushed in the snow for three days, and he had frostbite, which has not yet healed, and there is always a faint pain.
But he never knew how to write the words he was afraid of, and he was confident.
In this case, Barnihan's nervousness was suddenly relieved a lot.
Even looking at Jing Daorong's gaze, it was extremely soft.
Although this guy is not very intelligent, he is really inspiring.
The art of war is cloudy, and if you don't think about victory, you should think about defeat first.
But you can't keep thinking that you will lose, since it is a war, you have to have a heart!
Liu Ke bowed his head slightly, which can be regarded as agreeing with everyone's statement.
He directly tore up the urgent report that the herald had managed to find.
Then he made a bold decision to continue westward.
Chong Xuan and others are also more recognized.
According to the original plan, I will copy the two breads first, and if I feel that the time is not right, I will withdraw it when the time comes.
Thinking about coming to the front of Pu for a while, there are not many soldiers and horses to recapture Runan.
Moreover, there is also Yuan Shen, the head of the Yuan family, as an internal response in Runan, which is not so easy to lose.
If you go back again, you will only lose some grain and grass on the left and right.
It's always better than missing the opportunity to enter.
"Go West!"
Liu Ke did not hesitate at all, and gave the order decisively.
He didn't care in the first place.
Anyway, his purpose is not Yao Chang's 50,000 soldiers and horses.
The Jingbei front, since it is the strong point of the Donghu people, it is obvious that the follow-up army in front of Pu is the weak point!
Staring at the weak spot and slamming it is!
