Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 920
"No, if the southern thieves have sufficient funds and occupy the Hebei defense line, they can be stationed for a long time. The traffic on the river will be smooth, and there will be no obstacles in advancing or retreating!"

Another general, Han Yong, hurriedly waved his hands to deny this foolish move after hearing the words, not to mention that this strategy itself was based on the assumption that the southerners would not be able to last.

Not to mention whether the southerners can last for a long time, the army in Yedi is already in turmoil, and just now there was a chaos where many people planned to join the enemy. If they voluntarily abandon the Yellow River defense line at this time, it would be tantamount to self-disruption. How many people will be beating gongs and drums to welcome Master Wang to go north.

What's more, if the southern thieves are really useless, it is better to directly defend the north bank of the Dahe River and block the powerful enemy from outside, than to directly introduce the military disaster to Hebei!

Moreover, the situation in Xiangguo will be decided soon. Even if they retreat to Yecheng, will they be able to gain a deep space?
Zhang Cang was not in a good mood when his ingenious plan was dismissed casually. He snorted coldly and said, "Then what ingenious plan does General Han have? Right now, the army is gathering by the river, advancing and retreating in vain. Could it be that he just watched the southern bandits Show off your prestige here, and laugh at me that there is no one in Hebei?"

Han Yong ignored Zhang Cang's sarcasm, but looked at Shi Kan and said: "General Zhang said, Fangtou should not be too persistent. The southern thieves are full of boats, and they cannot be decisively defeated by the river. The final general will take it seriously. But if you lure the thieves to However, the last general disagrees. Since the southern thieves went north, they have entered without hindrance, and their troops are extremely powerful. Once they set foot in Hebei, they will definitely bring chaos to our country. At that time, most of the people in Hebei will be reduced to war, and the situation will collapse. !"

When the others heard what Han Yong said, they were also startled in their hearts.Before that, they just thought that the southern thieves had strong boats and the northerners had strong cavalry, and fighting in the wild was better than fighting on the water.But ignoring the ferocious record of the southerners since going north, abandoning the defense line that can be held fast, and indulging such a fierce opponent in the countryside, that is playing with fire!

The corner of Zhang Cang's mouth twitched suddenly after hearing the words, but he still refused to admit defeat. He stared at Han Yong with a sullen face, waiting for him to continue to speak and then to refute.

"In fact, the current predicament may not be unsolvable. The river runs for thousands of miles, and the southern thieves occupy only a few jujubes and slippery platforms, and they rely on nothing more than the momentum in the river. Our army commander is trapped in Liyang, which is indeed a delay. It is better to send another army to enter Yangping in the east, cross the river from Yuancheng, enter and occupy Fufu, gather Qingqi in Jibei, and then rush to Henan to solve Chen Guang's trap and cut off the food road for the southern thieves. At that time, the people of Liyang will rush down We will destroy the southern bandits by the river!"

After Han Yong finished speaking, the banquet suddenly fell into silence, and his expression was a little strange, and he would steal eyes from time to time to see Shi Kan.

"I don't know what advice General Han has. Could it be that you are worried that Huainan is not enough to be an enemy right now, and you want to make another strong enemy for the king? If you go eastward like this, do you know how King Zhongshan will react?"

Zhang Cang's eyes flashed, and then he said in a concentrated voice.

After Han Yong heard the words, he was not to be outdone, and said in a deep voice, "The king of Zhongshan is imminent, and his disobedience is obvious. Does General Zhang think that our army can coexist with the king of Zhongshan in the future?"

"Even if there will be swords and soldiers meeting in the future, but right now the Southern Bandit is close to the riverside, and if he provokes a powerful enemy, the King of Zhongshan..."

"The king of Zhongshan is only looking at the state of Xiang, and the rest are not in his arms! Previously, the southern bandit Xuzhou army fought with the troops of the king of Zhongshan in Qingzhou, and the king of Zhongshan voluntarily abandoned the county and withdrew his troops. Now our army is only taking advantage of the way, and it is not actively provoking! "

In fact, Yangping is also Shi Kan's sphere of influence, but the adjacent counties such as Qinghe and Pingyuan are currently occupied by Shihu.Shi Kan maintained neutrality before, so he did not garrison troops in Yangping, but now he hastily sent troops across the border, with Shi Hu's arrogant and domineering character, it is indeed possible to regard it as a provocation.

Now several key points in the middle reaches of the Yellow River and even Fangtou in Hebei are occupied by the Huainan army, and the Yedi army is at an absolute disadvantage in the water battle, so it is difficult to win any turning point in this regard.If you want to reverse the situation, it is a very reasonable choice to focus on the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Han Yong seems to be making a strategy in public at the moment, but in fact this is a battle plan formulated by Shi Kan himself, and he only said it through Han Yong's mouth, so as not to be blocked by the generals after Shi Kan said it, and there is no room for change.

The reason why the generals remained silent and even voiced their opposition was because they were afraid of Zhongshan Wang Shihu.Another reason is that the route proposed by Han Yong actually has another destination, which is Huaibei.

In fact, this is not the first time that this line of troops has been proposed. As early as when Shi Kan wanted to transfer back to Huaibei, someone made a suggestion and regarded it as a development line, but it was quickly rejected by the generals. negative.

On the one hand, they are reluctant to leave their hometown, and people are far away from their hometown. They are unwilling to follow Shi Kan and leave their hometown.

At that time, Shi Kan did not insist on this, and was still in Yedi.But now, he is really angry.

Obviously, this is one of the few options for Yedi's army at the moment, and it can even be said to be the only solution that can reverse the unfavorable situation and give full play to its field advantage.But these people are still worried that he will lead the army to flee, they would rather lead the enemy into the village, and would rather hold Li Yang together and wait for death, they all disagree with this choice!

Seeing that Shi Kan was about to lose his temper, Han Yong hastily gave him a look of patience, and then said sternly: "Everyone, do you think that the current troubles in Ye are only the current Huainan thieves? This is a big mistake. Wrong, the king of Zhongshan blindly fought for Xiangguo to seek usurpation earlier, and voluntarily gave up the land of Qingzhou to gather troops in Hebei. Now there is no obstacle in the Qingyan territory, and the southern bandit Xuzhou army is approaching here from the river. When the two armies are joined together, we will The army is in a doomsday situation!"

"How could this be?"

"impossible……"

When everyone present heard this, their complexions changed drastically, and some even stood up in surprise from the seats, screaming loudly.

Right now, the Huainan army alone has already made them frown and have no way to deal with it.If the enemies from Xuzhou are added, they can no longer imagine what fate will meet them!
After Zhang Cang heard the words, his face changed suddenly, and he rushed directly to Shi Kan's seat and shouted: "The southern thief Xuzhou army is coming here, did the king know it early? Why didn't you tell..."

Seeing Zhang Cang's disrespect, Shi Kan couldn't bear it any longer, and directly stood up from the table and said angrily: "Even if you inform in advance, does General Zhang have a good strategy to defeat the enemy? Or let you know that Ye is in danger and prepare in advance." Way out? You are a hybrid of Jie and Chinese people, do you think that the mad thief and raccoon will give you a way out? Or do you think that the King of Zhongshan will surely succeed in reversing the destiny and will use you as a help?"

"You, the last general dare not, the last general dare not..."

Seeing Shi Kan's hand on the hilt of the sword, his face full of anger, Zhang Cang froze in place for a moment, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he retreated several steps and then hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "The last general, the last general is just the heart!" Shocked and anxious, I dare not have any evil thoughts against the king!"

Seeing Zhang Cang knelt down in fear, Shi Kan was also slightly taken aback, and then smiled lowly, but there was an inexplicable sense of sadness in the smile.In previous years, he just felt that starting a business was not easy, and there were many constraints, so he had to compromise repeatedly in order to maintain the situation.But it wasn't until today that he finally realized that these thieves were so loud and vicious, and all of them were vicious and soft-hearted!
He may not have the idea of ​​equal shares with Zhongshan Wang Shihu, one is not strong enough in character, and the other is that Shihu is domineering and cannot form a crowd, so he has to be gentle with others.

But now seeing Zhang Cang's appearance, he realized that in such a world, everyone bullies the weak and fears the hard, and everyone is stern and stern. In the past, he felt uncomfortable a lot. It turned out that he was thinking too much and it was his own fault!
"It is imperative to send troops out of Yangping! If we don't seize the shackles, once the Xuzhou bandit army advances westward, our army's defeat will be a foregone conclusion! At that time, there will be no strong soldiers to protect us. Human butchers are no different from slaves!"

Right now is not a good opportunity for deep reflection. After Shi Kan sneered a few times, he quickly cleared up his mood and stopped asking for opinions from others. Su Rong said: "This battle is a battle of life and death, and I am too lazy to make empty words to appease everyone. Later Cattle, horses, boats and boats in the army are assembled for use, it is life or death, it is a fight! If you still cannot win in the end, I promise you that you will never steal your life! If this battle can destroy the bandits by the river, the southern bandits will be defeated within ten years. , there is no longer any strength to go north, and I will share the fertile soil of the Central Plains with you!"

Speaking of this, he let out a few more inexplicable laughter, walked slowly to the table, and sternly glanced across everyone's face: "This battle is about life, and I am just a layman. Harmful to the township, the army, the country, and my thoughts, cut off the old feelings with a sharp sword!"

"The last general is willing to live and die with the king, and has no second thoughts! In the future, we will defeat the southern bandits, leap into the Central Plains, and help the king to create great achievements!"

Hearing everyone express their views like this, Shi Kan laughed again.How could Yedi's long-standing evils be eliminated with just one or two statements.But he also believes the men will remain united around him if the battle turns the tide.

It's not to say how strong he is in the art of imperial servants, but except for him, no matter who enters this place, they will not indulge these people as he does.

　Fufu (qiao, ao), four towns in Henan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Jinyong City in Luoyang, Hulao City in Chenggao, Huatai and Fufen in Henan, are the four most important military towns on the south bank of the Yellow River.The Beifu Army and the Northern Expedition during the Liu Song Dynasty usually set off from Xuzhou and would first occupy Fufen, which is relatively close to Jishui and Juyeze.
