Han Shizu

Chapter 628

"It's my fault that I failed to repel the Han army and made His Majesty feel worried!" Wang Zhaoyuan said obediently to Meng Chang.

Although Wang Zhaoyuan has a superficial appearance, he is indeed intelligent. He is involved in generals and high positions. He knows that his glory and power come from Meng Chang, so he can boss around in front of his colleagues and subordinates, but he has always been loyal to his master.

"Your loyalty, I know!" Meng Chang nodded slightly to his performance, and said: "It's just that the northern border is constantly in trouble, and the Han army is invading. Although Li Tinggui, Gao Yanchou and other generals blocked the Han army in the north of the mighty city, However, the war continues day after day, and I cannot sleep peacefully!"

"I read the military newspapers, and they are all from Fengzhou. Li Tinggui reported that the Han army has not made any military moves for a month in a row? What's the reason for fighting and not fighting, and retreating and never retreating?" Meng Chang looked at Wang Zhaoyuan asked: "Tell me, is the Han army planning any conspiracy?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much! I have strong mountains and rivers, and the soldiers responded appropriately. The mighty city is as solid as gold, and it's just difficult for the Han army to break through our defense line!" Seeing the emperor expressing his hidden worries, Wang Zhaoyuan said immediately, with a confident face, which did not seem to be relieved Word.

Facing Meng Chang's gaze, Wang Zhaoyuan put on some gestures, calmly narrating, and said, "I went north twice last year and this spring to check and arrange border defenses. The mountains and rivers in Fengzhou are victorious, and our army's city gates are well known. .

With the strongness of the city wall, as long as there are enough soldiers, horses, food and equipment, and the soldiers guard it carefully, even a million enemy troops can defend it.Now, the Han army going south has no more than [-] soldiers, and troops need to be divided along the way to ensure food roads.The Han army that really invaded the pass is probably not as powerful as our army.

But in front of the mighty Chengguan, the wilderness is full of obstacles and the area is not wide, making it difficult to deploy soldiers and horses. With the city pass to rely on, it is even more difficult to give full play to the advantages of the Han army.Our army has been able to defend for nearly three months, and the Han army has not advanced an inch, which has proved that our army's defense is solid.

If the Han army chooses to forcibly charge me to pass the city, it will be nothing but death.And Emperor Han was able to support the army with his commander Xiang Xun, so he must have known it, and he did not dare to attack rashly, which would waste the lives of soldiers!

Otherwise, the Han army attacked me this time, fighting for a long time without making any achievements, and wasting money, food and people's strength, which is useless. If it hurts soldiers and horses again, it will be a crime! "

Hearing Wang Zhaoyuan's analysis, Meng Chang's melancholy eased, he nodded subconsciously, looked at him, and asked, "If you follow Qing's words, isn't the Fengzhou Han army in a dilemma?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty is smart, it can be said to be right in one sentence!" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Wang Zhaoyuan cupped his hands and said to Meng Chang: "If you advance, you will be hindered by the strong gates and guards, and if you retreat, it will be difficult to explain to the Han court, so you can only sink into the mountains. It's hard to decide!"

"If it was the Northern Han Dynasty, it would be great if we could withdraw our troops!" Meng Chang couldn't help sighing, speaking from the heart.

Judging from the experience of these years, it is not a good choice to fight the Han army. Moreover, Meng Chang's mentality has changed. Now he only wants to sit in Sichuan and Shu, be a king of peace, and not interfere with the Central Plains.

Being able to figure out part of Meng Chang's psychology, listening to his words, Wang Zhaoyuan blinked slightly, but shook his head lightly, breaking Meng Chang's delusion, and said to him: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Northern Han Dynasty will not give up lightly." .

Liu Chengyou, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, was arrogant, greedy and violent, and everyone in the world knew that he had used swords and weapons many times in these years, and he had always won triumphantly. With his prospering martial arts, he definitely did not want to be frustrated by our court, so as not to laugh at the world!Therefore, the battle of Fengzhou must have a result! "

"In the final analysis, the emperors and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty still underestimated my Great Shu!" Wang Zhaoyuan said, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression: "He personally conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, and took all the merits for half a year to help his arrogance. I went north to Qinfeng twice to attack Guanzhong, but I was defeated by him. It is because of this that Emperor Han dared to entrust himself so much and invaded the invaders brazenly!
However, it is not known that the Han army was able to cross Huainan only because of its sharp cavalry, while Huainan was flat, and its ruler was incompetent, leading to the defeat of the country.This is not the case in our dynasty. Only the danger of the terrain makes it difficult for the Han army to surpass! "

Wang Zhaoyuan talked eloquently and calmly. Seeing his high spirits, Meng Chang couldn't help adding some confidence. After thinking about it, he said: "When I was young, I was admitted to Shu with the emperor. I took the Sanguan Road. The post road is rough and difficult. Pedestrians Business travel is still difficult, but it is more difficult for the army. As Li and Gao said, after winter, the weather turns cold, and the Han army has no reason not to withdraw!"

Wang Zhaoyuan stroked his beard and replied: "I think that before the heavy snow seals the mountain, the Han army will definitely not withdraw. Even before the heavy snow seals the mountain, the Han army may go to the camp wall of the Qinling Mountains to speed up the hoarding of food, grass and military equipment to prepare for the winter! According to the front line According to the military intelligence report, there are already such signs!"

"In this way, the Han army really will not give up, and will not rest until death!" Meng Chang frowned.

Wang Zhaoyuan smiled, with high spirits, raised his head slightly and said: "I hope that the Han army can be stubborn and never retreat, then, it will give me a chance to defeat the Han army!"

Hearing what Wang Zhaoyuan said, Meng Chang suddenly regained his energy, his eyes lit up, and he stared at him closely: "From what you mean, do you have a plan?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan stood up and took a map marking the confrontation between the Shu and Han armies on the front line of Fengzhou.After making a few gestures on it with one hand, he said to Meng Chang: "Your Majesty, we have stored 200,000 shi of military rations in Liangquan and Weiwu City these years. The army went as far as Weiwu City, where people ate horse chews, 1.1 meters millet, and every shot and arrow had to be transported from Guanzhong. Therefore, the lifeblood of the Han army lies in the winding mountain roads!"

Looking at Meng Chao, Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't help but feel complacent, and said, "It's been a long time, and these days, I've been thinking hard about how to break the situation. I've got something now, and I'm about to ask His Majesty for instructions!"

"Speak quickly!" Meng Chang became more and more interested.

Pretentiously, Wang Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "The minister's plan is actually not difficult. You only need to send a general and lead a strong force to attack the rear of the Han army, cut off their food roads, and cut off their retreat! At that time, you only need to stick to the head and tail. Tens of thousands of Han troops will be trapped in front of the mighty city, and they will be easily seized by our army!"

Hearing his strategy, Meng Chang was overjoyed at first, then hesitantly said: "Although I don't know about soldiers, I also understand the importance of food and rear routes. The Han army has many veteran generals, how can I not notice?"

Seeing that Meng Chang questioned his strategy, Wang Zhaoyuan was slightly unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it.Still with a smile on his face, he patiently explained to Meng Chang: "In the early days, the Han army would have been vigilant. They were only invited to fight, to test the truth, and did nothing else, so the Han army must have been slack.

And familiar with the surrounding terrain and roads, our army is far superior to the Han army. We only need to dispatch troops and horses in secret, and move quietly. If the Han army does not expect it, we will be able to make great achievements! "

"I have planned that as long as the Han army can be intercepted successfully, the enemy will be defeated, and our army will surely win!" Wang Zhaoyuan cupped his hands to Meng Chang and said, "Your Majesty, don't doubt it!"

Meng Chang was obviously moved by Wang Zhaoyuan's words, rubbed his hands together, and finally nodded in response: "No matter what, you can order Li Tinggui to attack and try it. Even if it fails, it will not hinder the overall situation!"

Hearing what Meng Chang said, Wang Zhaoyuan felt more relaxed.He was thinking that if he succeeds, he will be the first to do it, and he will be the one to strategize and win a thousand miles away.If there is an accident, then it is Li Tinggui and others who did not fight well and ruined his good strategy
But Meng Chang said in advance, for him, there is no harm, after all, the emperor has spoken first.

"I hope this strategy can be successful, and repel the Han army in one fell swoop!" Standing up, Meng Chang couldn't help sighing quietly: "If the Han army plots against me this time and fails, they will not dare to come back easily in the future. In this way, I will be at peace.”

What Meng Chang wants now is peace, and his requirements are not high.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhaoyuan, on the other hand, had great ambitions and said vigorously, "If this strategy is successful, it will not only repel the Han army! The Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty reformed the military system and took over local military power. The front line of Mighty City. If we can annihilate it in the Qinling Mountains, our army can take advantage of the situation and send troops out of Qinlong to sweep through the empty Guanzhong.

After that, as long as a little rectification is made, they can go east to Weihan and compete with the Northern Han Dynasty for the Central Plains.At that time, the Southern Tang and the Northern Han would have feuds, and they would inevitably send troops to the north to recapture Huainan.The Gao family in Jingnan has always been greedy for small profits, so they can also be lured.

In these years, under the rule of Emperor Han, the Central Plains has been recovering day by day, and then they will use this to lure Dangxiang and Khitan to send troops. At that time, the five kingdoms will attack Han and divide the Central Plains. How can the Northern Han resist.

After the success, Dangxiang and Khitan are aliens and cannot stay in China for a long time, and the likes of Southern Tang and Jingnan are even less worthy of Dao, and the world will belong to our court.”

Such a grand blueprint, longitude and latitude plan, Wang Zhaoyuan arranged it clearly and clearly.Three years ago, when Emperor Han went to the south, Wang Zhaoyuan used similar rhetoric to lure Meng Chang to send troops to the north to attack Guanzhong.

However, at this moment, Meng Chang's reaction was obviously a little dull.
