Chapter 420: Deng Fan's Careful Thoughts
At this moment, there are two choices in front of the Han army, whether to fight Linjin first or block Tongguan first.
In this regard, Ma Jian has made his choice as always, I want it all!
Ma Tan made a direct decision and personally led thousands of troops to cross Weishui south and go to Weinan to intercept the main force of the Wei army. And Zhang He, Zhang Yi, Deng Fan and others led the main force in Weibei, attacked Linjin with all their might, and completely expelled the Wei army from Weibei.
This military decision cannot be said to be risky, it can only be said to be a death! Especially with the deployment of Ma Tan, he will cross the Weishui under the nose of the Wei army, and the troops will be under the city of Huayin, which is only ten miles away from the vanguard of the Wei army.
In this case, as long as the Wei army has the intention of attacking, it will be able to block the gate of the Ma Tan camp in less than half an hour. Even if Ma Tan can fight again, how long can he last in the face of an enemy ten times his size?
You must know that Weinan is full of mountain roads, the roads are rugged and difficult to travel, and the cavalry combat that Ma Tan is best at cannot be carried out at all. And all those who know Ma Tan know that once the general of the chariot cavalry fights on foot, he is very prone to accidents.
Not to mention Zhang He, even Shu Ji, who has been following Ma Jian all the year round, is a little hesitant. He watched the whole process of the Weinan Quick War, and General Shenwei was almost killed by Wang Shuangshan at that time.
But obviously, if Ma Jian listens to persuasion and changes, then he is not Ma Yan. In the case that most of the generals did not approve of it, Ma Jian directly said,
"It's settled, for the sake of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, this little risk is acceptable." Ma Jian waved his hand, glanced at the generals, and said with a calm expression.
"Even if I die in battle, don't worry, you have prepared a white cloth to mourn me, but you don't need to be in a hurry to avenge me. At that time, the three armies will hold the banner of the Han Dynasty and continue to attack the puppet Wei, support the Han family, and rest until death! ”
"After all, in front of the society, what is my personal safety?"
"So I've made up my mind! Don't discourage it! ”
After speaking, Ma Tan turned around and left without saying a word, as always, not giving others a chance to advise. After he left, the tent quickly fell into a deathly silence.
"I knew that I should have asked the prime minister to invite another prison guard, and I came with the prime minister's warrant." Zhang Yi was the first to speak, and said with a somewhat embarrassed face,
"If there is a warrant from the prime minister, maybe you can persuade the general!"
"I also blame me, I already knew Ma Yan's character, so I should have directly persuaded him to attack Linjin with all his might." Zhang He also smiled bitterly, waving his hand and blaming himself.
If he didn't mention this matter, he could only persuade Ma Jian to attack Linjin, and Ma Jian might not have made such a risky decision. As a result, now that the words are open, Ma Jian has to die for the society, which makes Zhang He feel that he has said the wrong thing.
"Don't you say, General Kamui can't see it himself?" Shu Ji shook his head and said,
"The general has always been like this, and no one can persuade him."
"I ...... I think it's ...... The general's move is bound to ...... There is a deep meaning! ”
However, at this time, Deng Fan suddenly stood up and raised different objections again.
"How so?" Deng Fan's words immediately made everyone interested, and Shu Ji handed Deng Fan a stack of Longyou paper with great eyesight.
Deng Fan nodded, took the paper given by Shu Ji, and wrote on the spot.
"The general's move was indeed risky, but it was not unprepared. Obviously, the general hoped that we could quickly end the war in Weibei, and together with it in Weinan, we could contain the offensive of the Kwantung Wei army. ”
Writing this, Deng Fan pointed to the deployment given by Ma Yan. Not only did he lead thousands of elite soldiers to cross Weishui, but also the thousands of soldiers who echoed him in Weibei were also the top priority.
"With the talent of a general, even if the bluff is detected by the Wei army, a thousand elite soldiers are enough to drag the reinforcements from Weibei to arrive. And with the prestige of the general, camping in Weinan was enough to delay the Wei army for a long time. ”
"And during this time, we only need to quickly push the battle line across the Yellow River and attack Pubanjin according to the general's deployment."
"Attack on Pubanjin? The general doesn't seem to have this deployment just now, right? Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Ma Yan's deployment again. It was repeatedly confirmed that Ma Jian only let them attack Lin Jin head-on, and did not give any other instructions.
"The general has already given a hint, but you haven't been paying attention." Deng Fan waved his hand and began to sell Guanzi,
"I'll deploy this when the time comes, just follow the general's style of play, and I'm sure I can take Pubanjin and push the front to Hebei."
"Once our troops enter Pubanjin, coupled with the general's feint attack on the front, the hesitant Wei army will definitely retreat north to protect Qin Pass. In this way, the Kwantung reinforcements of the puppet Wei were completely blocked out of Guanzhong, and the victory of the Northern Expedition was within reach! ”
Deng Fan's theory successfully persuaded Zhang He and Zhang Yi, and they all nodded and agreed to Deng Fan's proposal. Only Shu Ji glanced at Deng Fan with a slight meaning, as if he had seen through his thoughts.
But he didn't say anything, just remained silent about it.
Without Ma Tan's complete knowledge, the generals under his command finalized the strategy plan for Weibei.
On the Eastern Front of the Guanzhong War, the Battle of Tongguan, the most intense battle, began.
…………
…………
…………
In October of the twelfth year of Jianxing, Ma Tan, the general of the Che Cavalry, led a selection of 1,000 elite soldiers, crossed Weinan from Xiatai, and entered the battlefield of Weinan.
And Zhang Yi also led 4,000 troops to camp in Weibei, ready to support Ma Jian at any time.
In addition, the Han army in Weibei quickly assembled and began to force the crossing of the Fen River, launching a strong attack on the Wei army on the front line of Linjin.
At the same time, on the front line of Tongguan, Cao Wei's Kwantung reinforcements were gradually gathering. Under the command of General Cao Weiwei and Wei Wei Xinbi, the Wei army assembled at Tongguan had reached 30,000 people.
However, because the scouts found out that the main force of the Han army was in Weibei, and the famous general Ma Tan of Western Shu had also broken through Xiao Pass and returned to Chongquan. Forced by Ma Tan's prestige, Xin Bi has been hesitant and has not dared to move forward.
"General Xin, the Han army in Weibei has launched an offensive against Linjin, and Xuanbo can't resist it and asks us for assistance." When Xin Bi hesitated, Wang Ji, the general who accompanied him, suddenly walked in and reported to him urgently.
"Ma Tan did something to Linjin? In this way, his target is Feng Yijun, not me? When Simbi heard the news, his first reaction was overjoyed.
Now what he is afraid of is Ma Jian himself, he is afraid that he will lead his troops out of Tongguan in the west, and before he arrives in Chang'an, he will be blocked on the mountain road by Ma Jian and his troops.
But now, the main force of the Han army has made a move against Linjin, which means that Ma Tan plans to smoke Chen Tai first.
You smoke Chen Tai first, but you can't smoke me, then I'll go first.
However, just when Xin Bi was happy that he could lead troops to support Chang'an, Huayin's defenders urgently sent him a battle report.
"General! Emergency! ”
