Chapter 427: Burning the Hope Plain
In the sixteenth year of the beginning of the year, summer.
The Song state sent troops to the Wei state.
There were about 400,000 troops who raided the border of the former Beiliang region.
Xiang Yu led an army of 200,000 to resist desperately, step by step, but he barely stopped the Song invasion.
Although Wei had been closely monitoring Song Guo's movements before this, he did not pay attention to Song Guo's unusual moves.
But this time, it was too sudden.
It's unexpected.
In the battle report sent by Xiang Yu to the area of Niutou Mountain, he detailed several wars between him and the Song army in recent days, and he was worried that if the Song State continued to send reinforcements, he was afraid that he would be a little unbearable.
But at this moment, Zhao Changqing had no way to send reinforcements to Liang Guo at all.
Niutou Mountain.
Zhao Changqing, Zhuge Liang, and the Five Tiger Generals were discussing the entry of the Song State on a large scale.
"Everyone, Xiang Yu's battle report, in my opinion, is nothing more than one meaning, that is, to ask for soldiers, but the current situation is very unfavorable to us and others, in case we send troops to reinforce Xiang Yu, I am afraid that the situation here will be worse. ”
Zhao Changqing has his own doubts.
At present, Luoyang is actively recruiting new troops, and the garrisons of various cities and counties, about four or five hundred thousand, are also on the way to Niutou Mountain.
However, the steps required to transfer troops from one city to another are quite complicated, and for a moment and a half, it is simply impossible to expect the garrison to rush to the battlefield in the shortest possible time.
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said, "Xiang Yu has Jia Xu by his side to help, and he should be fine for a while." Xiang Yu can be allowed to recruit troops in Liangguo to alleviate the urgent need of insufficient troops. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Yuming spoke: "Actually, I have already given Xiang Yu such an order long before I arrived, allowing him to recruit troops and horses locally. But after such a long time, he only recruited 50,000 new troops, and the progress was a little slow. ”
Zhuge Liang sighed: "The people of Beiliang have complicated hearts, and they don't complain about General Xiang at all. ”
Zhao Changqing sat on the chair, rubbed his forehead, and said, "At this juncture, I don't want to listen to superfluous words, I want a solution that can solve the problem now." ”
He really felt a little overwhelmed.
The strength accumulated by the Wei State over the years was all buried in several major wars.
I have to say that this kind of thing is really too expensive.
The point is, something happened recently that made him extremely depressed.
Because Luoyang wanted to cast the 'Zhuge Repeater' and recruit new troops, the money in the treasury was obviously not enough to support it, so Queen He Ning took matters into her own hands and used the private treasury
Private library!
It's full of all the money I've worked so hard to save over the years!
Speaking of the private treasury, it really scared He Ning.
His Majesty's private treasury is more than the money accumulated in the treasury accumulated over several years of taxation.
That's a staggering number.
Over the years, His Majesty has really hidden
It's too deep.
The private treasury is Zhao Changqing's hard work.
In fact, as an emperor, no matter how much wealth you have, it doesn't make much sense.
However, he just feels that he has money and is down-to-earth.
Although I don't know what the use of having so much money is.
Hearing His Majesty's question, Zhuge Liang and the others didn't know how to answer for a while.
Because this matter is really tricky.
At present, we can only hope that Xiang Yu can buy some time for the war here.
As long as the Tang army's army can be repulsed, the Song State will be just a clown.
Zhao Changqing saw that everyone was silent, so he said directly: "Tell Xiang Yu and Jia Xu that at all costs, delay the speed of the Song army's attack, and the current top priority is to end the war here, Prime Minister, tell me, how do you want to fight the next war?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Excellency, Weichen once remembered that when you were personally in command and attacked the Chu State, you said a policy, called more attacks, and full flowering?"
Zhao Changqing frowned, "What do you mean?"
Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "At present, the most effective way is to implement this strategy, attack more points, and fully blossom." ”
Zhao Changqing said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about the specific method." ”
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "The Tang army seems to be a whole, but in fact it is very chaotic internally, and the biggest advantage of our army over the Tang army is that it acts in unison. Obviously, in the Tang army led by the Nine Dragons General and Deng and Xia Bu, this could not be done at all. ”
Speaking of which, all the generals present looked like they were listening attentively.
They sometimes have to admit that the prime minister's attainments in war are really rare in the world.
Even Li Yijun, who they call 'human spirit', has many deficiencies compared to the prime minister.
After a pause and a sip of tea, Zhuge Liang continued: "It is precisely because it is difficult to agree on their actions, we can choose the tactics of rushing up to the sea of people, disrupt all their deployments at the first time, and attack at multiple points at the same time, so that they can take care of it." However, we have a main direction to attack. ”
They probably understood what the prime minister meant.
Concentrate your forces and attack one of the camps.
Then the various units are pulling out several units to attract their firepower and take charge of containing them.
Enemy troops without a commander will inevitably feel overwhelmed and reluctant to send reinforcements to support other troops.
"Prime Minister, this plan is feasible, but where are we going to fight in the first battle?"
Chen Qingzhi asked.
Zhuge Liang said: "The 300,000 troops under the command of Xia Jibu are all camped in the deep mountains and old forests. When the fire is weakened, send troops to attack, and you will inevitably win a complete victory. ”
Wolong said the way, Zhao Changqing didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered people to do so.
The five tiger generals, the king of Changlin and others were all dispatched.
More than 1.5 million men and horses were also dispatched.
Each unit was transferred with 50,000 horses and handed over to Zhuge Liang for unified command.
His mission was to annihilate all of Natsugi's tribe as much as possible.
The task of others is much simpler, they only need to contain others.
As long as the rest of the Tang army troops did not go to support Xia Ji, basically Zhuge Liang would be considered a victory.
In fact, a sudden fire in 'Lookout Plain' completely made Xia Ji panic.
He really didn't expect that with the arrival of a steady stream of reinforcements from the Tang Army, they would dare to take the initiative!
The fire burned all his guts.
He knew that in today's battle, he was defeated.
He pinned his hopes on reinforcements, but the scouts had been sent out for so long, and there was still no response...
Zhuge Liang stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the fire in the entire Plateau, and muttered: "The battle is decided." ”
