Chapter 1345 Rescue Plan
Although Ma Qiu managed the entire defense line in Yedi quite solidly, it was not impenetrable and the north and south were forbidden, especially small-scale ranger scouts, as long as they were careful, they could still pass without hindrance.

In particular, although Fangtou Xie Ai has not made much progress in military affairs in the past two years, he has intensified his comfort. Even behind the defense line run by Jie State, there are many people from Jin and Hu who are willing to serve as the eyes and ears of the king.

It is precisely because of such a detailed and thorough intelligence network that Xie Ai can always anticipate the enemy's opportunities, seize the weaknesses exposed by the enemy and attack them in a targeted manner.

Otherwise, even if Fangtou King's division is far stronger than Yedi's Jie army, it is impossible for the whole army to wait unremittingly all year round. This will consume too much manpower, money and food, and will make Fangtou a bottomless pit of money. , The strategic advantage will also be wiped out due to too high losses, which is better than nothing.

What's more, the war on the western front was tense before, and all the ministries in the Central Plains were withdrawn. Hanoi Hanhuang's unit, which was interdependent with Fangtou, also retreated to defend Heluo.

At that time, Fangtou's troops were already far behind the Jie army in Yedi, and the aid from Xingtai had also been reduced, but even so, Xie Ai still didn't give Ma Qiu in Yedi any opportunity to reverse the situation. , has always maintained a state of suppression.There are many superb means among them that are hard to count, and the support from intelligence is definitely the most important contribution.

Therefore, before the Fenwu messenger arrived at Fangtou to send a message for help, Xie Ai had already known about Fenwu's northward journey.And when he just received the news, Xie Ai was in high spirits, and couldn't help but clap his hands in praise: "Jiangdong young lion, you are truly magnificent!"

The feat of the Fenwu Army is indeed worthy of boasting. With a weak force of less than [-], they went straight to the heart of the enemy country and even broke the city's palace ban, captured many clans and noble family members, and returned with a rewarding reward!Such feats, whether after Yongjia or even before Yongjia, or even during the unification of China and North Korea and the end of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, there has never been such an exaggerated battle!

As for Xie Ai, he became so excited when he heard the news, and another point is that this incident can become a landmark event, which can promote a substantial breakthrough in Master Wang's subsequent strategy in Hebei!

Xie Ai has been in Fangtou these years, but he hasn't revealed much about the real military strategy and tactics, which is similar to Shen Mu in the Qingyan area.In addition to managing the fortress of Fangtou, his energy is mainly focused on recruiting Hebei Shengmin to travel.Although the results can be said to be outstanding, as a real host, Xie Ai is aware that there are a lot of unnecessary redundant means.

Previously, Master Wang used two methods to appease Hebei Shengmin.

One is Wang Tong Dayi, which may be of some use to the local townsmen or celebrities of the family, but the appeal it can produce is limited. At most, it allows Wang Shi to occupy a moral advantage in all kinds of strategies. .On the contrary, those wanderers who were not very interested in this before, because they were deeply hurt by the tyranny of the Jie country, have gradually realized the value of orthodoxy in the past few years.

As for the second point, it lies in the strength of Master Wang.The land of Hebei has been in chaos for a long time, and the people are more used to being intimidated by power rather than the so-called rule of kingship. It has gradually become a universal perception to obey the orders of the strong and be enslaved and squeezed by them.

Therefore, in the process of recruiting Xie Ai, in addition to always holding the banner of Wang Tong Dayi, he must constantly demonstrate the power of the publicity platform.

Whether it is strong or not, it is implemented in the most direct expression, that is, the outcome of the war.However, the strategic phalanx of Xingtai University is framed by the general, and many of Xie Ai's actions can only be carried out under this framework, and cannot be overstepped without authorization.

For the people of Hebei, they can feel the strength of Xingtai Wangshi, which was the two broken Yedu in the old year including the Central Plains War.Although the Fangtou side also won several battles afterwards, they were all regional battles and lacked a large-scale impact.

As for the glorious achievements of Xingtai in Shaanxi and Longyou, it is too far away for the people of Hebei. Even if they tell them in detail, they still cannot understand the impact of these brilliant victories on the ebb and flow of the northern and southern forces and the general trend of the world. .

Therefore, for the most common people in Hebei, Xingtai Wangshi fell into a long-term downturn after the Central Plains War and the capture of Shikan. The failure to take advantage of the victory and advance in Hebei must be caused by insufficient strength.

As for Master Wang's promotion of their strength, many people in Hebei think it is unbelievable. After all, the most basic point is that Hebei is still in the hands of the Jie Kingdom, and they still have to bear the tyranny and oppression of the Jie Lord Shihu.If Xingtai Wangshi is really powerful, why not just drive away the captives and spread Wang Daoren's rule to the entire Hebei region?
Therefore, in the process of appeasement, Xie Ai often encounters such doubts. Although the current situation is that the south is strong and the north is weak, Jie Guo is gradually going to be trapped to death in a corner, but the people can't see this. little bit.If they can't respond to the king's call bravely, and still stick to the dilapidated land, they will inevitably be squeezed by the country of Jie and become the capital of its stubborn resistance.

But this time, Shen Yun went straight to King Jie's capital, and used actual combat actions to prove to the whole world that Xingtai Wangshi is so strong that the lingering Jie Kingdom can no longer compete!

This battle is worth a thousand words. After hearing the news, the people from all over Hebei can naturally judge the strength of the general situation. After the tyrannical oppression of the Jie Kingdom, you will never just passively accept it, you will definitely resist and even rebel!
But after being excited, Xie Ai also quickly realized the danger of the return of the Fenwu army. This point does not need to be urged by others, Xie Ai has already made a decision: "No matter what the price is, we must welcome the Fenwu army to triumph! "

In public, the Fenwu army returned home with great achievements. Only by returning safely can the majesty of Wang Shijun be exaggerated to the extreme.In private, Xie Ai has grown from a mediocre scholar in the cold land to a big man who is able to establish a position in the north and south and is famous all over the world. It is all thanks to the general's trust and promotion. If he sits and watches Shen Yun being surrounded and wiped out by the Jie army and unable to rescue him, what face will he have? Go back to see the general again?

The cool Confucianism in the cold land in the old days is now a powerful town, and according to his plan, there are thousands of troops and horses dispatched accordingly.

In terms of mobilizing troops, there is no need to waste more time.After Xie Ai received Shen Mu's summons earlier, all the soldiers that Fangtou could assemble in a short period of time had been mobilized, and nearly [-] soldiers were ready to participate in the battle at any time.

But there is another difficulty in this, that is, Fen Wu's outstanding achievements in this trip was an accident, and the information on the battle situation Xie Ai received before was that he was going to jointly send troops with Shen Mu to sweep the entire southern Hebei, so more than half of them The troops are concentrated in the Liyang area downstream.

On the way back from Fenwu, one needs to pass through Yedi to the south from the north. Because this passage can directly reach Xiangguo, the capital of Jieguo, it also happens to be the key fortified area of ​​Maqiu in Yedi.

This means that if the troops are dispatched to rescue through conventional means, Li Yang's people must be transferred back to fight in the north. The transfer of soldiers alone will take at least seven or eight days to complete.Moreover, the Yedi Jie army and Fangtou Wangshi have been confronting each other for a long time, and Xie Ai is not sure that he can pierce the solid line of defense that Ma Qiu has managed for several years in one battle, not to mention that the Fenwu army may not be able to persist for a long time.

So Xie Ai didn't even think about it, so he abandoned this rescue plan.Jie Guo has been operating the northern line of defense for several years, and it is difficult to break through it in a short period of time, which means that he must find another solution.

"First follow the old way of contacting the township lords on the north side, and tell all sides, ask them to play righteous songs, and prepare to welcome Fenwu to return to the teacher. Tell all parties, as long as they are willing to take action, no matter what the final result is, Fangtou Even Luoyang Xingtai must have heavy compensation!"

Although the best rescue plan for Master Fangtou has not been determined yet, Xie Ai will arrange what can be done now.This rescue and response to the Fenwu Army is also a test of his business achievements over the past few years.

As long as the households in Hebei villages around Yedi are willing to come forward bravely to help Fenwu return to the army, even if they cannot get out of trouble, the safety of the Fenwu army will be greatly increased. Some.

"Tens of thousands of troops from Marquis Shen of Taishan County rushed to the south of Hebei, and Qingyan's subordinates have already wiped out the old slump, and they are stronger than the downstream. Now they are rushing here with great power and strength. Should our department also take advantage of this good opportunity? Make a broad strategy and work together to completely wipe out the deployment of the Jie army in Ye?"

When Xie Ai gathered the people to discuss, there was a general who made a suggestion.As soon as these words came out, the rest of the generals were also in high spirits, full of expressions of eagerness to try.Fangtou has indeed been lonely in the past few years, and now seeing the rise of the lower reaches, and the Fenwu army even breaking through the country of Jie, they are naturally unwilling to lag behind and are eager to fight.

Xie Ai himself is a person who can detect opportunities. As early as when he got the news, he had considered such a possibility.But the reason why he didn't use it was mainly because the Fang leader didn't have enough ability to launch a large-scale war.

The situation in Fangtou is different from that in Qingyan downstream.Although the land of Qingyan is also heavily deployed, with the support of the vast Henan land and a complete military system, Shen Mu can calmly dispatch manpower and material resources within several states, so he has the confidence to make the situation bigger.

After all, Fangtou is just a stronghold built by Master Wang in a dangerous place in Hebei.Thanks to Xie Ai's operations in the surrounding Jijun, Weijun and other places in the past few years, he was able to maintain the cost of tens of thousands of troops when Xingtai mainly operated the western front and the investment in Fangtou was weakened.

But when it comes to savings, Fangtou is really insufficient. If Han Huang hadn't returned to Hanoi and brought a batch of supplies, Xie Ai wouldn't even have enough strength to cooperate with this downstream mobilization.After all, no matter how talented he is, it is difficult to conjure up money and food out of thin air.

Moreover, the reason why Shen Mu dared to make a big move in the lower reaches was because almost all the troops in Pingyuan and other counties in southern Hebei were attracted to Henan because of Jie Guoshixuan's surprise attack on Fufen, and were wiped out by Wang Shi, who had the home court advantage.

As for the opponents facing Fangtou, Ma Qiu in Yedi is not inferior to Shi Xuan in Pingyuan in terms of military strength, and he has always firmly defended the Yedi defense line that has been in operation for several years. possible.

Once the war broke out suddenly and the fighting was in full swing, the tens of thousands of troops held by Shihu in the back of the country of Jie may come straight to Fangtou.At that time, the Qingyan King Division will still be scattered in the downstream Hebei counties and counties, and it may not be able to gather quickly and reinforce in time.

As for Heluo Middle School, the northern Shaanxi battlefield has just been opened up and is still in the investment stage, and it is difficult to give Fangtou sufficient assistance. Once the main force of Shihu is attracted here, Fangtou's situation will become precarious.

Once Fangtou is lost, then this battle is tantamount to fighting with Jie Guo. Although Wang Shi won the open area in southern Hebei, he lost Fangtou, which is related to the entire Hebei strategy. All in all, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Fangtou cannot be lost, but if this is used as bait, can Ma Qiu hold back?"

Xie Ai suddenly thought of a possibility, and then leaned on the book case with his hands, and lay down on the map to examine it carefully. Seeing this, the rest of the generals also fell silent, worried that they would disturb the general's train of thought.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of soldiers playing outside the door. After his thoughts were interrupted, Xie Ai's face was a little displeased, but when the sergeant walked in to make a statement, his expression suddenly changed, and he stood up for a while. After suspending the meeting, he led a few generals out of the tent in a hurry, waded into Xifang City, met a new group of people who had not arrived long ago, dismounted from their horses, and bowed their hands in worship: "Ai Jian, the great general!"
