173 Stratagem 3
"Your Majesty, I don't know how Hedong Guanzhong will be arranged? Lin Jianyue is not trivial, I am afraid that all parties need to work together for a long time. "Batusu is not as confident as Li Chongshan.
"What about Master Qin's opinion?"
Qin Zhenghao said with a solemn face: "Zahemin has reported that Lin Jianyue has gathered heavy troops in Dasanguan, and he obviously has a lot of ambitions in Guanzhong. The Jinning Army in Hedong is developing rapidly, and we can only be on the defensive in Hedong because we mainly deal with Lin Jianyue in the Central Plains. Your Majesty, I don't know which is more important than Lin Jianyue in your heart compared to Hedong Guanzhong? ”
"How?"
"If Lin Jianyue is more important than everything, when His Majesty arrives in Kaifeng, he can make Ariza temporarily abandon Taiyuan, and the whole army will cross the river south to attack Luoyang, Zahemin will at least give up Fengxiang Mansion, and the troops will be divided into two routes, all the way to attack Wuguan Road to threaten Nanyang, and all the way to Gudao will besiege Luoyang with Arizha, His Majesty will lead the army and Lin Jianyue's main force around Kaifeng Mansion to hold a fierce battle, Lin Jianyue can't take care of the tail, the best result is to at least retreat to Xiangyang, and it is possible for the whole army to be destroyed by accident. However, Xiaochen can think that Lin Jianyue will not be unexpected, Xiaochen is also a Han person, so he naturally understands the Han people, Xiaochen is very suspicious that the so-called assassination in Luoyang is a trick played by Lin Jian'an and Lin Jianyue's two brothers, once His Majesty does this, Lin Jian'an will go all out to capture Guanzhong, and the Jinning army in Hedong will no longer just defend, and Taiyuan Mansion is likely to be lost. In the future, His Majesty will have to spend more effort to deal with Lin Jian'an, and once Lin Jianyue sees that he is besieged from all sides, he directly abandons the Central Plains and leads the army west to join Lin Jian'an, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with. ”
Li Chongshan was silent, this strategy was one of the killer tools he prepared, but he had to admit that what Qin Zhenghao said was right.
Qin Zhenghao knew Lin Jianyue's plan, but he didn't want the above results to happen, so that the master of the world would be replaced, Qin Zhenghao felt that Lin Jianyue was more suitable to be the master than Lin Jian'an.
"What if you don't give up Guanzhong Hedong?"
"Your Majesty should first send a letter to Liu Jingye, asking him to immediately expand the military war, in addition to the direction of Yindi Pass, you also need to pay close attention to the Luliang Mountains, Lin Jianyue likes to surprise the most, Your Majesty will send reliable generals to lead at least 30,000 cavalry from Hebei to support Taiyuan, and the main force of Aricha should garrison Liaozhou south of Jinzhong, backed by Taihang Mountain Hebei, which can not only support Taiyuan, but also quickly go south to Longde Mansion."
Li Chongshan thought about it and nodded.
"The strength of Guanzhong is just a big defensive problem, don't worry about the natural danger of Tongguan, the distance in the direction of Hedong is too far, and the Jinning army does not dare to leave Hedong, the focus is Dasanguan, Zahemin's main force cannot be in Jingzhao Mansion, but in the direction of Dasanguan, it is recommended that Fengxiang Mansion needs at least 150,000 cavalry and 80,000 foot soldiers to resist Lin Jian'an's army in Dasanguan. Lin Jianyue did not have many troops in Shangzhou, and forty or fifty thousand cavalry on the first line of Jingzhao Lantian was enough. ”
Li Chongshan frowned and said, "Then how can Lin Jianyue in the Central Plains fight?" He also has more than 500,000 troops in the Central Plains, and we are not good at attacking cities, so when will we have to fight? We can't afford to delay it for too long. ”
"Xiaochen agrees with Marshal Ba's statement, Huaidong's Pu Jinzhong is very cautious, even the Shandong Peninsula he does not dare to occupy it all, for fear that we will go all out to deal with him, this attack is just a cheap approach, his strength and ability are far worse than Lin Jianyue, Xiaochen thinks that he can ignore him for the time being, and he can reclaim the lost ground at any time when he turns back. In addition to the key cities that should be equipped with enough defenders, the rest can be abandoned, and the main forces of the two roads in Jingdong can be transferred to attack Caizhou from the direction of Yingzhou to the west with Sun Zhengyi, and His Majesty will join the main force of Hachi to attack from Kaifeng Mansion to contain Lin Jianyue's three main forces, even if they cannot win quickly, they will never be defeated. As long as the direction of Caizhou succeeds, Lin Jianyue will undoubtedly lose. ”
Batusu immediately agreed: "The strategy of the Qin envoy is roughly the same as what the minister thought, so it is quite unwise to think that Hachi concentrated the forces of Jingdong Road to exterminate Pu Jinzhong first. If this method is followed, Chen Dang personally goes to lead Jingdong Road and Sun Zhengyi's troops to attack Caizhou, and he will not even necessarily capture all the cities in Caizhou, but will cooperate with His Majesty's army from the south to break Lin Jianyue's main force first. ”
Li Chongshan listened to the two important ministers have such a consistent opinion, and he regretted it in his heart, it seems that he should not have agreed to Hachi's method, and should have discussed with them earlier, but unfortunately there was no turning back when he opened the bow.
Or because he was anxious, and the opportunity to kill Pu Jinzhong was too good, so he couldn't hold back for a while.
"This I really didn't think it through at the time, but just like Marshal Ba said, let's gather the main force of Hachi Kaifeng Mansion, even if we can't defeat Lin Jianyue, we won't be defeated. As long as we move to the west and south, Pu Jinzhong will move, as soon as he leaves the city on Huaidong Road, Hachi will be able to defeat Pu Jinzhong quickly, and then he will continue to implement Master Qin's strategy, but it will drag on for a longer time. ”
Qin Zhenghao was secretly happy in his heart, after a long time, the combat strength of the Northland cavalry will inevitably drop sharply, and the logistical pressure will increase sharply, not to mention the big variable of Sun Zhengyi, I believe that Lin Jianyue will seize this opportunity.
Lin Jian'an stood at the head of Dasanguan City and looked at the land of Guanzhong in the east, couldn't help but breathe, turned back to Zhou Qun with a smile and said, "I don't know if Mr. Zhou wants Zahemin to come here or go out of Tongguan to attack Luoyang." ”
"The subordinates are not shy about saying that it is naturally the best to go out of Tongguan, so that Guanzhong is ours, and Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor."
"It's a pity to disappoint Mr. Zhou, Zahmin's army not only did not go to Tongguan, but came to Fengxiang Mansion. Mr. Zhou, you are a martial artist, the prime minister's talent, but your magnanimity needs to be bigger, blindly relying on external opportunism cannot really achieve great things, your own strength is really strong, let's go to Fu Luo Road and Meridian Road in advance of the ambush soldiers This will come in handy? Although Zahemin is strong, he can't take care of his head, this time he will be able to completely expel the Hu people from Qinzhou, our logistical pressure can be greatly reduced, maybe we can also get part of the territory of Fengxiang Mansion, Li Chongshan's main force is restrained by my younger brother, how many years can Zahmin hold on like this? Guanzhong must still be ours. ”
Zhou Qun showed admiration: "It's still the festival handsome who has foresight, and he has long expected this day, so he basically started to prepare a year in advance, because his subordinates are too small-bellied." ”
"Mr. Zhou's Shuzhong strategy is also about to start preparing, this person, it's not easy to do anything without money. The Department of Internal Health has already begun to make moves, and the specific strategy must be prepared in advance. There is natural insurance to rely on in Shuzhong, but once you lose natural insurance, it is nothing. Huang Yao has a lot of soldiers, but have they fought any decent battles? That is, it's okay to beat the natives. As long as the natural danger is over, as long as there are 100,000 elite soldiers, they will be able to sweep Shuzhong, not boasting, we can beat him three at a time. ”
