The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 163
"Glogobi is important, but Yacheng is not important?"

Yin Zhiming retorted Yin Qiu, "Maybe General Yin has forgotten that the source of the famous river is in Yacheng! Once Yacheng is lost, the enemy troops will go down the river from Yacheng and reach the gate of the famous river between Moxicheng and Qiuji. In order to prevent farming from being unfavorable due to drought, a large amount of river water has been stored at the gate. Once the enemy blows up the gate and the river flows thousands of miles, Qiuji will be the next Yuhuai!"

"The supervisor is right."

Meng Shulan nodded in agreement with Yin Zhiming, "The flood in Zhanghuai has already put the court's money and food personnel in a tight spot. If the famous river breaks its embankment, not only Qiuji, but also Tahrir may be affected. The war is tight. If there is another civil disturbance, it will only affect us. would be more disadvantageous."

"Then open the gates and release the water, and divert the water from the famous river to the Xiangzhang River."

Veteran Bai Shu said, "Western Xinjiang is not an important area for farming. In addition to the tight war, there is no manpower to take care of the farmland. It is better to give up. You know, even if the city of Ya is not broken, the gate may not be bombed. It is necessary to take precautions. Yu Ran."

"no!"

Yin Zhiming objected, "Nowadays, food and grass are in short supply. I don't know how long this battle will last. If we give up farming and the supply of food and grass will not be available later, will the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry?"

This time, even Yin Qiu, who had the most trouble with Yin Zhiming, was silent.

The Zhanghuai flood has consumed too much grain in the national treasury. Right now, Western Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang are at war at the same time. Both sides consume a lot of food and grass. However, the harvest in Southern Xinjiang was poor last year. This year, due to the war, the grain output will definitely not be large. It only depends on the production of Eastern Xinjiang It is obviously unrealistic to feed the people of the entire country with the food produced, and even support two protracted wars.

"That's nothing to worry about."

Meng Shulan said, "As early as a few years ago, I have been a master of calligraphy, invited King Rong Jin and Princess Jingxian to visit Daliang, and asked Daliang for help. Half a month ago, I just received a letter from King Rongjin, Daliang was willing to send troops for three months. [-], [-] shi of grain and grass to support our army. People and grain and grass have already boarded the ship, and they will land at the coastal wharf outside Yuhuai by sea."

"If the sea route goes smoothly, Daliang's reinforcements will arrive at Yuhuai by the end of March at the latest. At that time, Daliang's army and the troops led by King Duan will launch a counterattack against the Qiang Kingdom, and our people will escort the food and grass back to the western border."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the generals lit up.

"This is really good news!"

Yin Qiu laughed and clapped his hands, "With the [-] stones of grain and grass, at least until the autumn harvest this year, we don't have to worry about grain and grass."

"Well, so the most important thing right now is to hold on until reinforcements arrive."

Meng Shulan responded and brought the topic back to the issue of Yacheng, "As the main water source in western Xinjiang, the famous river is not only used for irrigating farmland, but also many villages along the way are born beside the famous river. Once Yacheng falls, there will be Countless people have been displaced, and if they are used by the Xirong people, it will be a huge blow to us."

Meng Shulan's words undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on the happy crowd.

Veteran generals who have fought with the Xirong people for many years know that wherever the Xirong people have passed, not a single blade of grass is left, and there is not a single living thing.

But what Meng Shulan was more worried about was that Wen Zhemao would organize the refugees and turn them into a human wall.

At that time, if they kill them, they will be ruthless, and it will deal a huge blow to the people of Xijiang and the soldiers of Xijiang.

These soldiers and civilians living in Xijiang have their roots in Xijiang, and no one can tell if there are any relatives and friends among those refugees.

It is a heart-wrenching pain for anyone to shoot and kill the relatives and friends that they desperately protect.

But if they are not killed, the Xirong people will hide behind the refugees and kill them on the city wall, and more people will die in vain.

This is undoubtedly the most despicable trick for a general, but it is definitely something Wen Zhemao can do.

"The troops in Yacheng are not strong enough. Even with the support of Erjun and Moxicheng, it is still too difficult to hold out until the end of March under the onslaught of Xirong's [-] troops."

Yin Zhiming added, "In my view, the best strategy is to call in the troops from Glogobi to aid Yacheng, and at the same time strengthen the gates outside Fenhan City, Moxi City, and Qiuji. "

"You speak lightly!"

Qi Yuanqing disagreed, "Letting go of Glogobi's defense line means that Yacheng may be attacked from three sides. Even if there are more people scattered everywhere, how long can they defend?"

"Besides, the source of the famous river is in Yacheng, but its watershed is not entirely within the defensive range of Yacheng. Once the Geluo Gobi is released, the Qiang people in Xirong and Nanchuanzhou will enter the hinterland of Western Xinjiang. The army join forces, and there are still fights?"

"The other party may not necessarily go to Glogobi, why bother to stick to a desert?"

Shang Ming retorted, "The Gobi is full of sand, gravel and gravel. Ferma is the most eager to travel, and Xirong people love horses the most. They are willing to let their horses take the risk of breaking their legs to go to the Gobi?"

"The Xirong people are reluctant, but Wen Zhemao is not necessarily."

Bai Shu said, "Old merchant, don't forget that this time Xirong is leading the army against the king Wen Zhemao, so we can't use the way we used to deal with the Xirong people to guess this battle. Glo's loss will definitely have more advantages than disadvantages for us." .”

"Glo can't lose, where is Yacheng?"

Shang Ming brought the question back again, "Once Yacheng falls, the enemy army will go straight into the western border. Er County, Moxi City, and even Fenhan City may all be attacked. And the other side has attacked, and they are still guarding the bird. What's the use of the Gobi that doesn't shit? With the combination of inside and outside, can't we take down a Glo?"

There was endless debate in the camp, Baoya City or Baogeluo, the generals of the two sides were fighting with reason, and no one would accept the other, and they fell into a stalemate for a while.

Wu Ren, who had been quietly listening to the debate, suddenly said, "Since neither Yacheng nor Glo can be lost, and the reason why we have to choose one is the lack of troops, why don't we ask Beijiang for help?"

As soon as this remark came out, the debate in the tent stopped, and everyone looked at Wu Ren.

Wu Ren said again: "The role of the joint defense battalion is not only to solve the problem of not defining the military deployment of the two borders, but the biggest role is to be able to support the war-torn border at any time?"

"The call for help was sent when the war started."

After a short silence, Bai Shu said calmly, "The mountains in the northwest are blocked by heavy snow, and the road is difficult to walk. In addition, the situation in the desert is uncertain. Not to mention how effective the reinforcements from the northwest will be, will they be able to get there safely? Problem. Instead of counting on the joint defense battalion, it is better to count on the reinforcements from Yangcheng."

Bai Shu's words made Wu Ren speechless.

He has always been responsible for the defense of the southwest area, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the northwest, but Bai Shu grew up there since he was a child, so he definitely won't be talking nonsense.

Bai Shu is not optimistic about the reinforcements from the Northwest United Defense Battalion, so naturally there is really no need to count on it.

So, the problem is back to the original point.
