Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1151
Now the Jiangdong problem has been resolved, and it has become a stable rear, without any worries, and Wang Shi's power can be exerted without any scruples.

The biggest enemy of the Northern Expedition, whether in terms of ritual or reality, was Jie Zhao Shihu.There are also many people who support it in one go, and take advantage of the fact that Shihu is attacked by the enemy, and the north and the south cannot take care of it, and completely wipe it out.

But Shen Zhezi thought for a long time, and chose to tackle key problems first, not only because of the hidden danger of being from the Fu family of the Di tribe in history, but mainly because even if Shihu was killed during this period, it would not be possible to fundamentally improve the border defense situation.It is necessary to beware of the elbow and armpits of the Guanzhong Qunhu, but also to bear the threat of several Xianbei tribes such as Liaodong and Monan.

Now put Shihu aside, let his people bear the pressure of the crowd in the north, and concentrate their efforts to completely wipe out the hidden dangers in the pass. In Shen Zhezi's view, this is a relatively reliable choice, which can greatly avoid the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

The redeployment of the Tongguan garrison after autumn is to prepare for the next attack on Guanzhong.Tongguan currently has about [-] defenders, and the strength of this group of troops alone exceeds the respective forces of the miscellaneous Husbands and tyrants in Guanzhong, but compared with the chaos in the entire Guanzhong, this part of the force is still far from enough.

Shen Zhezi's plan is to gather 8 to [-] troops under the condition of ensuring that the defense line in Hebei will not be withdrawn. Strive for two to three years to completely calm down the situation in Guanzhong.

The westward advance to Guanzhong was another major military advance by Wang Shi after several years of silence, one can imagine how many chances there would be to obtain special merits.So at present, all the generals of Wang Shi, except Fangtou Xie Ai, Qingyan Shen Mu, and Lu Yong who is in charge of supporting the two, have all either personally or sent envoys to Luo to fight for it, hoping to be listed this time in combat order.

During the recent period of time, apart from mobilizing funds from the south of the Yellow River to be used as military reserves, the various discussions in Xingtai also involved competing with each other for the battle list, and the atmosphere can be said to be very lively.

"This time the battle is different from previous years. The Guanzhong ring is closed and the interior is wide, and the chaos and crowds from all sides are scattered. Although it is impossible to unify, the trend of gathering and dispersing will inevitably be more tricky, so we must not be careless."

Xie Yi has been guarding Tongguan all year round, and he has already been quite magnanimous. This time, he temporarily handed over the defense of Tongguan to Yu Manzhi, and returned to Luoyang to attend the meeting in person. He brought back the first-hand information on the front line of Tongguan to Bichen for the general's reference.

This expedition to Guanzhong was different from previous battles. The unique terrain in Guanzhong greatly offset the strength of Wang Shi's navy.

Therefore, this time the battle did not take the season as a restriction to choose midsummer to start the war, but to start from early autumn to deep winter.As for the various supplies of the army, they had been mobilized as early as Xia Qiu a few months ago, concentrated in Luoyang, and transported to Tongguan in batches.

Therefore, this battle, regardless of the form of battle or the environment, is a new test for Master Wang.From this point alone, a considerable part of Wang Shi's troops are excluded, such as the navy that is lacking in field battles in the mountains. Although Guanzhong is also known as the eight waters around Chang'an, the flow of those waters is difficult for large ships like Wang Shi to put into battle. .

As for the enemies they faced, they were also different from previous years. Unlike the opponents they faced directly in the previous Central Plains battle, or the peach leopards in Heluo, or Shikan in Hebei, they didn't have an accurate target.Originally there was another Shi Sheng who was blocked in Hongnong County outside Tongguan, but Shi Sheng also abandoned his guard and fled north as early as last year.

Xie Yi displayed on the hall the roster of forces in Guanzhong collected by the Tongguan defenders in recent years. There were as many as [-] or [-] shares in a rough count. The Xiongnu Tuge from other prefectures and counties, Liu Changming who called himself the King of Han, the Huyan clan who occupied part of the Longshang area, Huyanxu who called himself the King of Liang, and Lei Bai from the Nan'an Qiang who called himself the King of Qin.

The list of these grass-headed kings was handed over to the generals in the hall, and everyone ridiculed these blasphemy mobs.However, after Shen Zhezi saw this list, he felt more emotions in his heart, and there was an evil taste that history had been greatly changed in his hands.

He didn't know any of these three Hulu kings, and he didn't know where it came from.It can also be seen from this that the internal chaos of these Guanlong Zahus is full of accident and randomness.

As for Fu Hong from Di and Yao Yizhong from Qiang whom Shen Zhezi was more familiar with, they are also on this list, and they rank relatively high, and each has a huge crowd.It's just that these two people are a little more low-key than the three abusive Hu Wangs, and they just call themselves public.

And Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing after seeing the banners they each drew up for themselves.

Fu Hong, a Di native, has not changed his surname yet. He is still the original Pu family in Lueyang Di. His name is Pu Hong.As for the name of Yao Yizhong, a Qiang man, he is also similar to Pu Hong, the general who protects the Qiang, the Duke of Fufeng, and the governor of Qinzhou.

There is nothing to say about the arrogance of their own names. Long before the Yongjia Rebellion and before Han and Zhao invaded Guanzhong, they had already done it once.

However, at that time, Yao Yizhong was the governor of Yongzhou, and Pu Hong was the governor of Qinzhou, but now they have switched each other.The reason for this is that Han and Zhao played with each of them in the early years.

Yao Yizhong of the Qiang nationality lived between Anding and Beidi, and near Youfufeng between Sanfu, so they called themselves Fufeng Gong during Yongjia and the governor of Yongzhou.Puhong of the Di tribe lived in Lueyang in Longshang for generations, which is also the origin of his Duke Lueyang and the governor of Qinzhou.

After Han Zhao and Liu Yao invaded Guanzhong, they moved the Pu clan of the Lueyang Di clan to the vicinity of Jingzhao, but moved Yao Yizhong of the Qiang clan to Longshang, which was equivalent to a replacement of their respective spheres of influence. The reason why when the two clans revolted again, the assassin number was switched over.

The replacement this time also directly caused the depression of the two clans to varying degrees.

Especially after the Shi Zhao rule was in turmoil and Heluo was seized by Wang Shi, the Zhang family of Liangzhou moved eastward to plot Guanzhong. The Yao family of the Qiang nationality living in Longshang was the first to bear the brunt. Great blow.

As for Pu Hong from the Di family, he was not spared either. In the Sanfu area, there were many powerful Jin people and Wu Zong. Then wandering between Shiping and Fufeng on the west side of Chang'an.

This pair of suffering brothers and sisters are also in love and killing each other now. They were suppressed and weakened to varying degrees at the beginning of the turmoil. They failed to occupy the front-line forces, and each occupied the other's base. Fighting chaos, it can be said to be very lively.

The power groups that stand side by side in Guanzhong today are not only these parties, but also Jie Zhao Guojing who occupied Shangluo and Shisheng and accepted part of Feng Yi after he left, and the powerful Jin people from Sanfu and other places.

In fact, for a long time, Jin Haozong's power in Guanzhong has become extremely sluggish, and members of the Jingzhao family like Du He have to flee in embarrassment. From this, it can be seen that the situation of other Jin Haozong is really not good.

However, after the Han and Zhao captured Guanzhong in the early years, in addition to misplaced Hu chiefs such as Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong and provoke chaos, they also moved a large number of miscellaneous Hu chiefs to Pingyang.

Especially between Feng Yi and Shangjun, more than 10,000+ Qiang Hu were moved out of Guanzhong. Most of these Qiang Hu were placed around Pingyang, the capital of Han Zhao at that time. After the disaster of Jin Zhun broke out in Han Zhao, these soldiers were mainly from Jie Zhao. Shi Le received it and became a great help for Jie Zhao to unify the north in the future.

Even in the Shihu army defeated by Shen Zhezi in Huai in the early years, a considerable part of the Hu tribe's followers were composed of these Hu people who were moved out of Guanzhong.

The relocation of Han Zhao and Jie Zhao to Guanzhong miscellaneous Hu has increased the proportion of Jin people in Guanzhong to a certain extent, and slightly improved the situation of those Jin people who are powerful.Therefore, as Guanzhong was besieged by Wang Shi, and all parties were fighting internally, the Sanfu tyrants also had a lot of influence in it.

For example, the one occupying Chang'an right now is Jingzhao Duhong, who was elected by the tyrants in Guanzhong.This Du Hong may be from the Jingzhao Du family, but he has little relationship with Du He, the third head of Xingtai. It is probably analogous to Huan Xuan and Huan Yi of the Huan family in Qiaoguo. alienation.

Therefore, when formulating the strategy of Guanzhong, we should not take it for granted that the three auxiliary powerhouses are potential helpers who will definitely welcome Wang Shi. On the contrary, because these powerful people are in a good situation at the moment, they may become a great resistance to Wang Shi's attack on Chang'an.

The situation of these powerful forces in Guanzhong alone makes people feel dizzy, and this is without involving the distribution of Hongnong, Hedong and other peripheral forces in Guanzhong.The complexity of the entire Guanzhong situation can be seen from this.

Now that Xingtai Wangshi dominates, once a strong army arrives in Guanzhong, it is conceivable that the current game state in Guanzhong will be greatly changed. This is one of the reasons why Xie Yi said "there are more tricks".In the face of the great pressure from Master Wang, it is very likely that there will be sexual alliances among these chaotic forces. It is really hard to determine what the variables will be.

Suppression is the main priority, and it is accompanied by appeasement. This is a basic principle of Shen Zhezi's finalization of the Guanzhong strategy.Although the king's division is powerful, it is impossible to fully devote all its troops to the Guanzhong battlefield. In addition to maintaining the superior force and focusing on attacking the thieves, it is also necessary to pay attention to dividing and attracting the available forces.

Tongguan originally had [-] defenders, and this was the army that had been determined to participate in the Western Expedition.

After the army is assembled in mid-October, Shen Zhezi will personally lead the Fenwu Army and the Hongwu Army, with a total of [-] soldiers, stationed in Tongguan, and then directly attack Hongnong.

Huanxuan's Xiangyang army will also cooperate and mobilize tens of thousands of people to go north to Nanyang, and after Wang Shi invades Hongnong, go west to Wuguan, and then outflank and attack Shangluo's Jie Zhao Guojing's troops, and wipe them out in the territory.

This is all the combat objectives of the first phase of Wang Shixi's offensive and clearance, and it is expected that the first phase of the battle will end before the arrival of the new year.

　Oh, it's hard to write this paragraph. . .Headache. . .However, the arrangement of Di and Qiang is really very wicked. . .This pair is really happy and playful little friends. . .
