Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2150 Tian Dan was helplessly defeated and Yanzhou’s defense line collapsed

Several of the main advisers, look at me, look at you, it’s not like they have no ideas at all. None of them are willing to express that idea easily!

After all, no one wants to be the one who may be settled by the queen in the future.

"Lord, why don't you try the idea that Gu Yuantan proposed to the eldest son?" Seeing that Jingxiang and the others were silent, Zhu Sheng sighed helplessly. He, a member of the Zhu family, could only take the lead. Bird.

Gu Yuantan's idea was just like Xu Xingzhi's original words, which were harmful to the country and the people.

If this idea is really used, it will definitely become a powerful force in the future. In the long run, this is not a good thing!

However, it has to be said that if this method is used, one hundred thousand soldiers can be obtained in an instant.

At that time, if there is a good general who can conquer good generals, it may not be impossible to force Chen Qingzhi to retreat.

Under normal circumstances, after hearing this idea, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely scold the person who proposed the idea.

But in this situation, I have to start considering this suggestion.

Every battlefield is now short of troops, let alone dispatching troops. If they really had this ability, they would have already supported Jiaozhou, which is currently in the most dangerous situation.

The current situation makes it absolutely impossible to mobilize troops, but this seems to be the only feasible way to deal with Chen Qingzhi's troops.

Even if it becomes a trend that cannot be lost, it is still a matter of the future. If you can't get through the present, talking about the future seems very ridiculous!

It’s no wonder that although the several advisers just now thought of this suggestion, none of them dared to propose it. If they really get through this crisis, the bitter consequences of this incident will inevitably come back to bite them. At that time, anyone who repeats this suggestion is destined to get no good fruit.

"Okay, don't worry about anything. Zhu Sheng, I'll leave this matter to you!" Although Zhu Yuanzhang's face was extremely heavy, he still gritted his teeth and agreed to the suggestion.

Now that the source of soldiers has been solved, the next step is to dispatch a capable general.

At least, he must be stronger than Deng Yu or Lu Kang.

"Send a message to Jiaozhou and ask Xiaosi to go back to Yangzhou!" After thinking for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang was finally ready to hand over this task to Zhu Di.

He himself is not easy to move lightly. Not only does he have to face Yang Su who is mainly attacking Jingnan, but he also has to control various battlefields in Jingnan. Remotely controlling various battlefields may not sound important, but this is the most crucial position in this battle.

There must be someone who can grasp the overall situation. Otherwise, if everyone fights his or her own way, some areas will be hit well and some areas will be hit badly. And no matter how well the areas are hit, if the areas that are hit badly cannot be punished in time. As for support, it would be in vain if others opened the gap.

Neither Xu Da in Jingbei nor Wu Zixu in the Yangtze River could be easily mobilized.

The only one who might change his position is Zhu Di from Jiaozhou.

After Zhu Di's last defeat, he was demoted to Wang Lu's deputy by Zhu Yuanzhang. Now, Wang Lu is also in charge of the war situation in Jiaozhou.

………………

Yanzhou, Jiyin.

Wei Qing looked at the 80,000 prisoners and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Not long ago, Wei Qing achieved a hearty victory.

Excluding the Youzhou cavalry, Tian Dan's 120,000 soldiers and horses, only more than 10,000 defeated soldiers broke out with Tian Dan. The remaining few died in the battle, and most of them were captured by Wei Qing.

However, taking such a large number of prisoners was also a big burden for the Jin army.

The situation in the Central Plains was so bad that the people had no food in their hands. Every time they conquered a piece of land, it meant that they had to first relieve the victims of the disaster. We can't finally conquer the territory and then let these people starve to death!

At this point, Zhao Kuangyin's army of more than 400,000, except for the Runan army, the rest of the army has basically been lost.

Tian Dan's defeat was not a defeat in battle, but due to lack of food and grass.

If it weren't for the food and grass issue, the outcome of the fight between him and Wei Qing would actually be a matter of two or two.

It is precisely because of the problem of food and grass that Wei Qing has been fighting this battle unhurriedly. His performance in this battle can almost be said to be that of a little Wang Jian.

The generals below asked for battle one after another, but instead of being anxious, Wei Qing found a few women to perform their talents for him. The angry generals all wanted to go to Li Xiang to learn from him. In fact, many people have actually taken action.

Of course Wei Qing was not in a hurry. During the Battle of Chenliu, Tian Dan did retain the main force. However, in fact, even if Tian Dan's preparations for that battle were not so safe, Wei Qing would not keep chasing him. At most, he would not be in a hurry. Just enough is enough.

A leader must naturally look at the entire battle situation, not just the gains and losses of one battle or one city.

There is not enough source of food and grass, and in fact, the base camp of Xuzhou is lost. If so many soldiers and horses are maintained, not only is it not a good thing, but it is a disaster.

Among the three states in the Central Plains, Xuzhou was the only one that not only escaped Huo Qubing's destruction, but also escaped the destruction of Cao Cao and Chi You. This was the only one among the three states in the Central Plains that still had some food left, but unfortunately, now But it's no longer in Zhao Kuangyin's hands.

And Zhao Kuangyin, where did he get the food and grass to maintain such a large army?

Yi Yin's departure was an even worse blow to Zhao Kuangyin!

Zhao Kuangyin voluntarily gave up many troops and horses in Chen County in order to save food and grass in this way. Give up some troops with relatively weak combat effectiveness and retain the most elite group of troops. If there are fewer troops and horses, the demand for food and grass will naturally be reduced.

Although this method quenches thirst, when it is impossible to increase revenue, this abnormal method can only be used to reduce expenditure.

However, during this process, Zhao Kuangyin went a little overboard. He originally expected to retain thirty to forty thousand soldiers and horses, but in the end, except for the cavalry, all the infantry was lost.

Wei Qing was not in a hurry to attack, but he was already determined. With so many soldiers and horses in Tian Dan's hands, the little food and grass in his hands could not last long.

Just wait for a while until he collapses on his own. Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is what a general should do.

Originally, Wei Qing expected that Tian Dan would be worn out, so he deliberately exposed the location of their food and grass to test Tian Dan's reaction.

However, Wei Qing seemed to have underestimated the extent of Tian Dan's current food shortage, and the other party's reaction was greater than he expected.
