Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1299
Regardless of its own terrain and environment, or the actual deployment of troops, Taishan County is the absolute center between Qing and Yan.

To the east of Taihang Mountain, the terrain gradually declines, and Dongyue Taishan is one of the few commanding heights in Shandong.After Yongjia, the world was in turmoil, and Taishan County was once occupied by the refugee commander Xu Kan.

Relying on the danger of this place, Xu Kan has brought into full play the capricious, cunning and cunning characteristics of the refugee commander, wandering among the forces of all parties in an attempt to find a way, no matter whether it is for the unified Hebei Jie Kingdom or for Ke Jijiang Biao. Jin Zuo lacked loyalty at all, and repeatedly rebelled and surrendered. During this period of time, his people did have a profound impact on the changes in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Xu Kan was entrenched in Taishan County until Jiangdong Wangdun raised his troops for the first time and was attacked by Shihu of Jie State.Afterwards Xu Kan was escorted to Xiangguo, Shi Le ordered people to put him in a skin bag and throw him from a [-]-foot tall building. It can be seen that he hates Xu Kan's capriciousness very much.

Now that Qingyan is all under the command of Master Wang, Taishan County naturally attaches great importance to such an important place.After Shen Mu took command of Mount Tai, this area became the absolute military center of the Henan region in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Tens of thousands of troops were deployed all the year round. In the old days, only some of the Xuzhou exile militia elite were led to create the Hongwu Army, and the rest were all in it. , including a considerable number of brave veterans who have followed the Shen family all the way from Jiangdong.

Taishan City, where the Xiongjun sits, is built next to the thick Taishan Mountains. The city is tall and majestic, and the internal and external camps are neat and majestic. Wenshui flows around the border, overlooking the Qilu land below.

Taishan City is a pure military city. Even if there are villages and houses in the surrounding area, the people who live there are all military households directly under the jurisdiction of the king's division.Even in the entire Taishan County, there is a lack of private property of large households. Whether it is the shepherds in the county or counties, or the households in the villages and villages, the manpower and products are the first to meet the army's expenses.

And the Wangshi troops stationed in Taishan City are not responsible for production matters at all. Apart from combat tasks, they are focused on training to maintain combat effectiveness.Like a treasured knife that has been honed and cultivated for a long time, it is ready to go north to harvest Hebei thief Hu at any time.

It took more than a day for the battle report of Fengfen to reach Mount Tai City.

"Jie Jun really moved?"

Shen Mu was not surprised that there was a disturbance along the defense line along the river. He was mentally prepared for this as early as when he received the Taiwan dispatch order, and even before that.But when he heard that the one who lost his defense was actually a scorpion, and that the invading enemy had tens of thousands of people, Shen Mu's face suddenly sank: "You son of a bitch is afraid that the death date will be too late!"

Different from the posture of Meng Lang when he was with his old friends in previous years, Shen Mu, as the commander-in-chief of Qingyan Xu Sanzhou, the highest military commander, naturally has a dignified manner, especially in front of the generals, his posture is more solemn and powerful .

A dozen generals under the tent were present at the table, and seeing the strong anger on the Dudu's face, each of them made a gesture of asking for a fight.In the past few years, Xingtai's focus has been on the development of the western front. Relatively speaking, they, the Southern Henan Army, will inevitably be left out in the cold.

Although surrounding the line of the Yellow River, they are constantly harassing each other, but there has never been any large-scale battle, which makes these generals who are eager to make achievements hopeless.

Shen Mu yelled angrily, but there was a bit of solemnity between his brows and eyes, which showed that he didn't have as much contempt for Shi Xuan's Jie army as he said.Or it can be said that what he cares about right now is not attacking Shi Xuan, who is in charge of Fufen, but the actions after Jie Kingdom.

With such a heavy responsibility, Shen Mu's focus is naturally much higher than that of the generals.Even if he doesn't return to Luo every year to report on his duties, he still has to communicate with Xingtai, especially the general, by letter. He has also guessed for a long time about the strategic layout of Xingtai and the possible reaction of the Jie Kingdom in the north.

On the surface, the Shandong army was transferred to the east. On the surface, it seemed that it was only due to the sudden outbreak of Saihu's southward invasion and the general's emergency move. However, similar adjustments had already been planned, and the main intention was naturally to cut and isolate the Jie country and its shadowy forces. connect.

Traveling to the west is very important, and the country of Jie is about to make a move. Even if it is not done because of its own troubles at the beginning, this is an inevitable trend, and there is no need to take chances.Because of the existence of Fangtou in the middle road, there is no worry for the time being. The most likely to be invaded by the Jie army is Shen Mu's governor's area.

Shen Mu's governor is the land of the three states of Qing, Yan and Xu. Among them, the capitals of Qing and Yan are across the river from the country of Jie, and the borderline is long.Therefore, which direction the Jie army chooses to attack is also a very debatable matter.In addition to a more selective defense, it can also give a glimpse of the strategic thinking after leaving the country of Jie.

It has to be said that Shi Xuan's army's attack on Fufen was beyond Shen Mu's expectation, and it also deviated from the general's prediction.Because when they were discussing before, they all felt that if there was any movement in Jie country, from a strategic point of view, Le'an on the north side of Qingzhou should be the primary target.

Le'andi is in the northernmost part of Qingzhou, where the Yellow River flows into the sea.Relatively speaking, this place is still remote within Wang Shi's sphere of influence, and the control is relatively light.Once the Jie army enters Kou Le'an, the only troops Wang Shi can mobilize at the first time is Shen Mu who stayed behind in emergency in Taishan County, and the towns in Henan, which are more inland, dare not mobilize easily to prevent being transferred from the mountain by the Jie army and directly into the heart.

The first point is that it is easier to conquer Le'an. Although Le'an is on the edge of Qingzhou, it does not mean that it is not important. First of all, it is the central point where the river and the sea meet. Based on this, you can quickly invade and plunder Jinan. It even went straight to Guanggu City in the center of Qingzhou.Once the country of Jie takes a foothold here, the meaning of the entire Yellow River defense line will be greatly reduced, and the land of Huaisi will also be directly threatened in the future.

There is also a more important point, that is, Le'an is close to the sea, and Xingtai has also used this as a base in the past few years, and gradually strengthened its influence and restraint on Xianbei in Liaodi through sea routes, making the country's stomach and back more corrupt and serious.

If the Jie State occupies Le'an, it can hold the head of Henan at the bottom, and cut off the restraint of Xingtai on Donghu at the top, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.This is also a strategic idea to start from the corner and then enter the Central Plains.

Le'an seems to be at an angle, but once it falls, the balance of the left and right layout of the platform will inevitably tilt sharply, and there will be a considerable round of emergency adjustments.

Therefore, Shen Mu's key area of ​​defense was the northern part of Qingzhou. Even Xu Mao's navy stationed directly in Le'an, Qingzhou to prevent the Jie Kingdom from attacking.

If it is not ruled out that the Jie country will attack from other places, such as the current fall of Fengfen, Shen Mu even wants to move the town of Le'an himself, just to be safe.It's not that other places are not important, it's just that gains and losses are not as touching as Le'an.

Now Jie Guo just didn't attack Le'an, but went straight to the Fen Fen near the middle, which made Shen Mu a little ashamed.Although his defense of Fufen can't be regarded as turning a deaf ear to it, it cannot be compared with the importance he attaches to Le'an. Otherwise, once Lu Yongshui army is transferred away, the defense force of Fengfen will not be reduced. Seriously inadequate.

It can be said that it was his miscalculation, or it could be said that it was Jie Guo's miscalculation.Although the Jin army's stalls are spread out enormously, they will definitely not give Jie the opportunity to launch successive strong attacks.Although the scorpion directly leads to Qingyan's heart, this environment is also hidden in the wild, and it is by no means a soft persimmon as it seems on the surface.

Moreover, after the country of Jie chooses this place as its attack target, no matter how the war develops in the future, it will completely eliminate the possibility of maximizing profits.

But Shen Mu still didn't dare to let go of this, he wouldn't be so hospitable as to sit and watch the Jie army come and go in his governor's area.After suppressing the anger in his heart, Shen Mu summoned several commanders who had withdrawn from Suijin and asked about the battle situation in detail. After hearing that Gao Zhong knew the enemy's situation in advance and saw the loss with his own eyes, he destroyed most of the camp defense, and then donated himself to the country , the queen went to die, Shen Mu couldn't help sighing.

"Although you left invincible, it is also valuable for you to be able to kill many people and not humiliate my master Wang."

At present, the specific letter from the front line has not been sent back, and Shen Mu does not praise too much. The reason why he feels this is because he did not have a good impression of Gao Zhong before, and the aura of arrogance and self-care is too strong. The overall weather seemed a bit out of place, and I really didn't expect that this person could burst out with such a heroic spirit when the incident was imminent.

Shen Mu had secretly decided in his heart that although the loss of the ground was not something worthy of praise, if it was found out that Gao Zhong's deeds were indeed heroic, he would ask for a piece of honor for him no matter what.

After ordering the soldiers to lure those soldiers down to settle down for the time being, Shen Mudang even spread out the defense charts around Fufen, and began to arrange how to block the counterattack and retake the Fufen.

In fact, Shen Mu has already been familiar with the various defense arrangements in the realm, and there is no need to follow the map to find out.It's just that he was furious, and he was not satisfied with just driving away the Jie army who came all the way south.

In previous years, in order to cooperate with the development of the western front strategy, Shen Mukong had a strong army in his hands, but he had to save his troops, and he did not dare to make trouble downstream, so he felt somewhat depressed.Now the western front strategy has basically been laid, and if there is any further development in the future, it will be the competition of various ministries.And these Henan powerhouses who have been lonely for a long time really need to show their edge again.

There was nothing surprising about Shen Mu's initial arrangement. It was similar to rehearsals many times. It was nothing more than mobilizing troops to fill the defense line. The Jie army should not be allowed to flee in all directions. When the encirclement was formed, they would seek encirclement and wipe them out.

In these aspects of affairs, experienced veterans such as Li Hong and Cao Na naturally would not make any low-level mistakes.Even if there is any inconsistency between the coordination and the enemy takes advantage of it, there is still Taishan County's strong troops led by Shen Mu himself in the rear.

When most of the generals received the talisman orders and prepared to enter the camp to summon the army to set off, Shen Mu pointed to one of the generals and said, "Mo Zhong, you don't have to go to Fufu, and lead your headquarters to Le'an to tell Xu Suiran doesn't need to go west, Xu Ning led his troops north into the river defense, and waited for my rear line military order."

While speaking, he quickly wrote two warrants to assign a personal soldier to each, and the first commanded: "Fly to Wu Chenyun, I want him to go to the skating platform to stand by within ten days, if there is any delay, I will go Playing on the stage, he missed the opportunity to fight."

The other ordered: "Go to Fangtou and thank Ai quickly, and pick me up in Ye in mid-September."

Speaking of this, he said viciously again: "The Shi family beast wants to steal my defense, I want his father and son to have no harvest in autumn, and starve to death of this beast family!"
