281 Northern Expedition 4
In February 250 of Daning, taking advantage of the fact that the Yellow River had not yet thawed, the Yellow River first-line guards, Xinyang army and Rao cavalry suddenly crossed the river, with a huge Rao cavalry army covering, the Daimyo Mansion and Dezhou were unprepared, not only in the outside cavalry suffered heavy losses, but also could only watch the defenseless Puyang, Liaocheng and Gaotang were occupied one by one, to gain a foothold in Hebei.
Fortunately, it stopped then, which made the defenders of the Daimyo Mansion and Texas breathe a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to be negligent, crossing the river represented an attack, and they immediately reported the news of the Central Plains crossing the river to Batusu and Dadu in Zhending Mansion.
After the whole Hebei Mongolian army gave up attacking Hedong, it directly gave up the Shexian in the Fukou Road, and only held the southernmost and most dangerous Fukou Pass of the Shandao, the location of the pass is the narrowest canyon of the entire Shandao between two mountains, more than 100 zhang long, dozens of zhang wide, it can really be said that a man is a pass and ten thousand people can not be opened, and the pass is the vast Hebei Plain.
There are only 3,000 defenders on the pass, and more than 8,000 soldiers are hoarded in Fuyang County behind it to support them.
Because it was related to the success or failure of the first battle of the Northern Expedition and the safety of His Royal Highness, Shen Zhixing even refined the attack plan to which day to set off, how much time to march, what time to surround Fuyang County, and what time to arrive at Fukou Pass were listed one by one, and then handed over to the Jinning army, and asked for one, the day when the Fukou Pass was laid, was the day when the Jinning army left the pass.
How to fight the Hebei War has not been discussed in detail, Lin Jianyue's personal safety is everyone's most concern, everyone came to Shen Zhixing to ask and support, and even how to further strengthen the Fukou Pass and build a palace in Shexian County where Lin Jianyue sheltered from the Hu people's soldiers and soldiers to temporarily live have been figured out, and the road to continue to retreat to Changzhi and Taiyuan has been set, and Shen Zhixing, who is not very nervous, has also panicked.
Lin Jianyue finally found out that something was wrong, drove everyone back to the army one by one, and then summoned Shen Zhixing and said: "Just listen to what they said, if it really comes to that point, what else will you fight?" Just wait for Li Chongshan to leave by himself. What am I doing crossing the river? It is to take you to Dadu to ascend the throne, and it is to completely kill Li Chongshan. You have to be clear about your real responsibilities, the general direction is set, but the details are important. ”
"Your Highness, please!"
"You have 30,000 strong troops, it is not a problem to encircle Fuyang County, there is no support, and there is no problem in fighting Fukou Pass from then on, what is the problem? It lies in how to hide the main force of the Jinning Army, hide the strategic purpose, and hang Li Chongshan, otherwise what am I going to do in Handan? ”
The main force of the Jinning army is more than 100,000, and it is indeed difficult to hide, and he was almost led astray by them, and Shen Zhixing was a little sweaty.
"Once it is discovered that the main force of the Jinning Army has gone out of Hedong, although there are natural dangers and there are still many remaining troops, Hedong is still a bit dangerous, and it is not impossible to break Hedong under the desperate bet, this is one of them. The Hedong Army went out of the pass and still occupied a favorable position, and the enemy forces in Daimyofu, Zhendingfu and Dezhou had no advantage, coupled with the threat in the direction of Liaodong and the sea-crossing attack in southern Liaoning, I dare to say that Li Chongshan would not care about anything else, and would directly withdraw to the grassland, and if he couldn't catch up, he couldn't catch up, and he couldn't beat it even if he caught up, and the border pass would never stop in the future, at least for a long time to deploy an army of more than one million people at the border pass, what a burden was that? ”
"Therefore, the enemy west of Handan can be killed, and the people, whether they are Hu or Han, will all move to Hedong and block all the Taihang Mountains, which is the first thing you have to do after you defeat the Fukou Pass."
After arranging the affairs in the north, the affairs in the south also have to be said, and it cannot be said openly that Lin Jianyue specially left Cao Shaozhen and Wang Lizheng behind, and called Wang Gui, Liu Bingyun, Li Jizhong and others.
"The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, since the Northern Expedition has begun, it is not a place that moves, and the Duke of Qin will soon go north out of the Great Wall. In this case, Shuzhong will also move, and I don't know where to enter Guanzhong now, but there is no need to know. The Dasanguan in the west is not under the control of the Duke of Qin, and the defenders are not our people, so they don't have to care if they live or die, I estimate that once the army of the Qin Wangfu arrives, most of the Guanzhong area will not be able to be saved, and even Chang'an may not be able to be saved. General Zhongwu, I have sent a letter to the Duke of Qin, if necessary, the defenders of Chang'an will withdraw from Jingzhao Mansion and join your troops out of the pass, you have built a lot of defensive fortresses on the line from Lantian County to Lantian Mountain, but they may not be able to resist, but they must hold the Luoshui line, and fight and retreat, no matter what, Wuguan cannot be lost. ”
Wang Lizheng said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will desperately defend Lantian to ensure that the Qin army will not be able to cross my defensive line." Once he thought that Lin Jianyue would change generals, after all, he was an old general of the Han Mansion, and he had no complaints, but Lin Jianyue did not, Wang Lizheng was moved or proved himself, he decided not to take a step back.
"There is no need for this, this is a civil war, there is no need to be so desperate, with your strength in Shangzhou, there is no problem in holding Wuguan Road."
Wang Lizheng was silent, and Lin Jianyue didn't care about him anymore and continued: "If the Qin army wants to fight Guanzhong, it is inevitable that almost all the main forces will go north, and there may be no other places except for Dazhou facing the front line of Kuizhou Road. Li Jizhong, once it is confirmed that Qin Jun appears in Guanzhong, you immediately inform Gu Xiang, and she will arrange for Cao Baojin from Luzhou to come over. Mr. Cao, you led the Longteng Army and the Kuizhou Army to Luzhou to join forces with Cao Baojin, with you as the main and Cao Baojin as the deputy, you should listen to his opinions more, he is more familiar with the terrain of Shuzhong, and swept all the way from Luzhou to occupy Chengdu Prefecture. After jointly defeating the Dazhou Qin army with Qi Zhong and the others, it was enough to hit the Jianmen Pass. ”
Cao Shaozhen finally understood why Lin Jianyue did not allow him to fight Luzhou under his absolute advantage, but how did His Royal Highness plot against Lin Jian'an and be loyal to Cao Baojin? Cao Shaozhen didn't dare to ask more, it turned out that he thought His Royal Highness was still scrupling about something! Since His Highness said it, it must be true.
With such a huge number of troops in hand, the main force of the Qin army is not there, and Cao Baojin is the leader, taking the Shu land to capture, without the Shu land, what will Lin Jian'an do to compete with His Royal Highness for the world? There is no way out, the world is about to be unified, Cao Shaozhen is inexplicably excited, he is also a member of the history of witnessing, and he is still an important member.
"There is one thing that must be said, Lao Cao, Lin Jian'an's family members who stayed in Chengdu must be unscathed, especially Lin Jian'an's heirs and concubines, understand?"
Wang Gui understood Lin Jianyue's thoughts very well, and immediately said in place of Lin Jianyue, Cao Shaozhen also understood, and nodded heavily.
"Also, try not to kill more when you enter Shu, there are many people who want His Royal Highness, in addition, even if some of Cao Baojin's subordinates are disobedient and want to rebel, don't kill if they do a good job, at most they can disarm and lock them up, which is also convenient for appeasing Shu in the future." Liu Bingyun added.
Lin Jianyue finally smiled reluctantly and said: "That's roughly the case, I'll leave it to you in the south, let's see you all in the future!" ”
