Chapter 352 There is no doubt about employing people
Shangtai is in the southeast of Ji County, not far from Ji County, Shangtai is close to the Weishui branch, and Ji County is next to the upper reaches of Weishui.
According to what Liu Chan learned from Jiang Wei, Guo Huai and those Cao Wei officials who fled eastward, as in history, still chose Shangqi as their stronghold.
This is not a coincidence by chance, but a strategic necessity.
Although Ji County is governed by Tianshui County, its value at the strategic level is far less than that of Xixian County and Shangtai.
Qishan Fort to the northeast, followed by Xixian, Shangqi, straight to Weishui, connected into a line.
Xixian, which is closest to Qishan Fort, can echo Qishan Fort, but it is a pity that Xixian has not yet played its due role, and the city surrendered the moment it saw Liu Chan's army......
Many other counties and villages have descended from the wind, making Qishan Fort a lonely fort in the lonely hanging mountain.
At this time, it has become an impossible task to use Qishan Fort as the core to defend against the enemy, and to use Guo Huai's hands to scrape together the Longyou Army, which is still less than 10,000.
And if you want to shrink your defenses and wait for reinforcements, Shangtai has become the best choice.
"Advance, if our army wants to bypass Shangqi and go north, then Guo Huai can attack at any time and threaten our army's grain route." Liu Chan swiped west with his hand on the top of the map and said.
The generals nodded in understanding.
Leading troops to fight, only the courage of a puppet is not enough, among these generals present, only Jiang Wei can barely be regarded as "professional".
The rest of the people are all wild roads.
Although there is no time for them to go to Taixue in Shu County for further study, in the process of the Northern Expedition, the military lessons that should be made up still have to be made up.
Fortunately, except for the sleepy money, other people are not bad at this area.
Ding Feng and Li Er are the best among them, Li Er has followed Liu Chan for many years, and his foundation is better.
In terms of talent, this fashionable and young Ding Feng is even better.
"Retreat, if the father's army directly enters Shangqi, then he can also hold on to the city." Liu Chan drew a circle in the place where Shangtai City was located, "Outside Shangtai City, the ground is as flat as a case, which is suitable for large-scale cavalry battles.
"Shuzhong and Nanzhong Erlang are more good at fighting in the mountains, so the terrain is obviously unfavorable to our army, and the grain road will be further lengthened at that time. Once the front army is frustrated, the defenders of Qishan Fort can take advantage of the situation! β
Liu Chan said, pointing a little at Qishan Fort, and made a decisive stroke to the northeast.
This stroke shocked the onlookers.
"At that time, our army will be flanked from front to rear, and it will surely fall into chaos. If it is at this time, another elite cavalry of Cao Wei will come from the north and strangle our army......"
Liu Chan pointed his finger to the blank space in the middle of Qishan Fort, and the sound seemed to point in the hearts of the generals.

[Jiang Wei's Opinion +5] (45)
Jiang Wei and Ding Feng both thought of the strategic value of Shangqi, but even Jiang Wei, a local, did not have such a detailed and in-depth understanding of this as Liu Chan explained.
"The prince has come to Longyou before?" Jiang Wei asked suspiciously.
Liu Chan shook his head and said, "No, this is the first time I've been here." β
Cao Wei's territory, how could he come as he wanted.
Jiang Wei sighed and clenched his fists and said, "The prince has never been here in person, but he seems to be more familiar with this place than me, a Tianshui person who has lived here since childhood. This is the real strategy, the decisive victory thousands of miles away. β
Qian Duo suddenly came to his senses at this time, and said proudly: "That is, the prince knows more than that, you will know in the future." β
That demeanor, as if all the analyses just now were made by him.
Liu Chan squinted at him and said, "Then tell me, what did I just say have to do with these things in Ji County?" β
"Uh...... Cough! I'm going to see if those boys are lazy. Qian Duo said that he immediately shrunk his neck and slipped away.
There was a good-natured laugh from everyone in the room.
Liu Chan shook his head helplessly, but he also went with him, everyone has their own strengths, and they can't be forced.
Then he pointed to the map and continued: "Therefore, if you want to 'break the dragon', there are three key points.
"First, take advantage of the unexpected first-mover advantage to quickly occupy the street pavilion and block Cao Wei's reinforcements from Guanzhong."
The reason why it is a street pavilion, rather than a city with better conditions, is because after crossing the street pavilion, the Wei army can choose to go to the Qingshui line in the south, and can also make a detour back to Shangqi.
If Shangqi is in my hands, then the conditions of Luoyang City are obviously better, but in the current situation, the street pavilion is 100% able to block the reinforcements.
At this time, Ding Feng looked at the map and suddenly asked: "Will the Wei army pass through Weishui and support Shangqi by water from Chencang?" Wouldn't the waterways be faster? β
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "General Ding doesn't know, the Weishui River is shallow and muddy, and it is difficult to carry a big boat, if a small boat carries a few people to escape, it is okay, but it is absolutely impossible to transport troops by waterway." β
"I see, I don't know about it."
Jiang Wei secretly said in his heart, people who have never been here don't know that geography is ordinary, and it is not normal to be like the prince.
"The two, Qishan Fort and Shangqi, will win one of the two. Now that Xixian is in my hands, these two places occupy one of them, and the remaining one must not be kept for a long time. β
This question can be handed over to Lao Liu's main force.
Although Lao Liu's ability to lead the battle of the Great Army is worrying, this time with Uncle Zhuge with him, it is another matter.
"In the end, we need to send a team of soldiers and horses to be nailed to Ji County to watch Shangtai Guohuai." Liu Chan looked up at Jiang Wei and said with a smile, "Boyo, Lonely Desire and your five hundred Red Star Army, and the other two thousand foot soldiers."
"Since you grew up here, you are the most suitable person. Can you dare to stand alone here and resist the attack of the Shangqi soldiers and horses? β
Jiang Wei looked up at Liu Chan in shock, but saw that there was no temptation in the other party's eyes, full of sincerity.
He muttered for a moment: "I...... This ......"
Liu Chan deliberately frowned and said, "What, but the troops are not enough?" β
Jiang Wei, who had just been questioned and abandoned by Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun, who had just worked with him for many years, had a sour nose when he heard Liu Chan's words at this time, and tears almost rolled down directly.
Is this a matter of insufficient troops?
If Ji County is lost, then Liu Chan's soldiers and horses will have no way to retreat, and it is no different from a lone army going deep.
He Jiang Wei, as a general, has not made an inch, and the prince will entrust such a heavy task, what kind of trust and importance is this?
If the scholar dies for his confidant, if the winner is like this, what more can the husband ask for?
[Jiang Wei's Opinion +5, +5, +5] (60)
[Jiang Wei's friendship is 50, strategy talent +10Γ2, army management talent +10Γ2, long soldier talent +10Γ2, equestrian talent +10Γ2, and the trait "Ambition of the Prosperous Han"]
[Jiang Wei's favorability is 60,......]
[Ambition of the Han Dynasty]: Every time you recover a Han county, you will permanently increase all talents by 20 points.
Jiang Wei lifted his front placket, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fist and said: "Wei, I will definitely live up to the prince's trust!" β
There are no gambling swearing, there are not too many grandiose words, but every word Jiang Wei says is sonorous and powerful.
"Good!" Liu Chan said with a smile, "In this case, the defense of Ji County will be handed over to Boyo." Lead the army alone and go north to the street pavilion! β
