Chapter 943 The Danger of Heluo
Chapter 943 The Danger of Heluo
"Let the Bohai Sea lead the people of Hanoi to Mengjin, and the Suanzao generals guard Chenggao, occupy Ao Cang, Saizhuyuan, and Taigu, and control all their dangers."
This is Wei Wu Cao Cao's strategy in "Three Kingdoms" when he attacked Dong Zhuo in the Shandong princes' meeting. No matter whether this strategy is famous or not, it is feasible, but at least it points out the pass fortresses around Luoyang.
In ancient times, Luoyang had eight passes. In addition to Cao Cao's words, there are Yique and Guangcheng passes in the south.That's because at that time, the two passes had been occupied by Sun Jian, who was the prefect of Changsha at the time, and Sun Jian beheaded Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong at Guangcheng Pass.
In addition, there is Hangu Pass located between the west of Luoyang and Guanzhong, which constitutes an important pass surrounding the entire Heluo area.
Since the Huainan Army used troops at the beginning of the year, the biggest strategic intention was to capture Heluo.As for the war between Liyang and Yecheng, etc. in Hebei, the main purpose was to eliminate the interference from Hebei.
In fact, at the beginning of the war, Shen Zhezi was able to severely injure Shi Kan and make him unable to go south in his plan, which was regarded as the completion of the strategic goal of this stage.But Shi Kantai couldn't help fighting, and Shihu didn't want to miss the opportunity brought to him by the Huainan Army going north, so this caused the current situation.
Dong Zhuo faced during Cao Cao's time.It is not an equal opponent at all with the peach leopard currently entrenched in Heluo.Moreover, the disputes at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty were completely different from the current war environment, which resulted in completely different fighting styles and rhythms.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the feudal lords rose up together and fought for power, the productive forces were not so severely damaged and destroyed by later generations. Therefore, there were many long-term confrontations, including large-scale battles with large-scale troops. This was demonstrated when the Three Kingdoms stood side by side. Especially obvious.In the respective border areas of the three countries, the tense confrontation has been maintained almost all the time, and the war is almost like a series of catastrophes.
The Three Kingdoms were unified in Jin Dynasty, and the short rule of Taikang was not enough to restore the vitality of the north and the south. The chaos of the Eight Kings and the chaos of the Five Kingdoms caused more serious damage to the productivity and production environment.This has resulted in the fact that no matter which side is in charge of the country, the north and the south do not have enough savings and strength to carry out a long-term confrontation and consumption.
Therefore, the pace of wars in this period is much faster, with more field battles, tough battles, and quick battles. It is difficult for each battle to last for too long.In the final analysis, it lies in one word, that is, poverty. If a war is dragged on for too long, even if it is won, it will be defeated.
Of course, although the basis of war is different, the basic principles are still the same.The focus of attacking and defending Luoyang lies in the dangers around it. As for the gains and losses of Luoyang itself, it is not very important.
In the early years when the two Zhaos fought against each other, there were several large-scale battles around Luoyang. The core of the battle's victory or defeat lay in the use of the surrounding pass passages.
Not to mention the Hangu Pass connecting Guanzhong in the west, the north of Luoyang is slightly open, but the Yellow River flows across it, and on the north bank of the Yellow River there is Taihang Mountain as a barrier, and further east reaches Hanoi County on the Hebei Plain.The most important pass in this direction is Mengjin, which is located at Xiaopingjin in the middle of the river.
Luoyang crosses Yanshi to the east, and connects with Xingyang through a narrow passage between the Yellow River and Songshan Mountain. On this passage is the very famous Chenggao and Hulao Pass.Hulao Pass is a connecting point between the hills and mountains in the west of Henan and the vast plains in the east. When Chu and Han fought for hegemony, Xiang Yu was so strong that it was still difficult to get over the thunder pool, which shows that it was dangerous.
The two passes of Zhuyuan and Taigu mentioned by Cao Cao are located in the southeast and south of Luoyang.Among them, Zhiyuan Pass is more important. This pass is located in the canyon between Shaoshi and Taishi Mountains in Songshan Mountain. From this pass, you can go directly to the hinterland of central Henan, go straight to Xuchang, hold Yingshui and go boating to hit Huai River .
The so-called Yongjia Rebellion started from Liu Cong's capture of Luoyang by Han Zhao Liu Cong. When Liu Cong besieged Luoyang, his son Liu Can came out from Yuyuan Pass and trampled on Ru, Ying, Chen and Liang.
Just south of Luoyang is Yique, which was later called Longmen.The so-called Yique is the gate of the Yishui Waterway. As long as you pass through this pass, you can go straight to Luoyang. It is a well-deserved southern gate on the Heluo Plain.
Since the Huainan Army had determined its strategic intention to regain Heluo early in the morning, it was naturally making arrangements from the very beginning.
Since last year, the Huainan Army has dispatched troops to mop up the powerful kingdom entrenched in Nanyang, and completely cleared this area, so that King Qiao Sima Wuji led his troops northward into the town and reached Yuwan City.
King Qiao's troops were only between three and four thousand, so before the Huainan army marched northward, Shen Zhezi sent Xie Yi and Shen Yun to lead three thousand Huainan cavalry to help, plus the three thousand Huainan cavalry who marched westward from Xiangcheng to Luyang. Thousands of troops, a total of tens of thousands of troops, blocked the passage of the Taobao army going south.
And Xuchang, which is pointed at the exit of the southeast Yuanguan Pass, simply became the base camp where the Huainan army gathered. Thousands of soldiers gathered here. out.
Of course, during a certain period of time, there was a defensive loophole in Xuchang, that is, when Shen Zhezi's lone army was facing the river to the north, and all the troops in the south were urgently dispatched to the north to help.
Xuchang was the base camp where the Huainan Army's soldiers and materials were assembled for the northward march. During that period of time, if Taobao dared to gather troops and horses to go out of Zhiyuan Pass bravely and attack Xuchang with sharp cavalry, they might not fail to succeed.Because Xuchang during that period of time was very much like Wuchao in the Battle of Guandu.
It's a pity that Xu You didn't appear among Shen Zhezi's subordinates.Moreover, at that time, the Huainan army was turbulent and approaching Hebei, and Taobao was not the main opponent.At that time, Taobao's soldiers were still keen to plunder the business travel to and from Runan, so they didn't realize this rare opportunity.
The opportunity was fleeting, and soon King Qiao led his troops northward to attack Yique, catching the enemy by surprise.The southern portal was directly threatened, and Chenggao was always under tremendous pressure. Even if Taobao had noticed Xuchang's weakening, he would not have the time and strength to make any moves at that time.
And with the end of the Liyang battle, Mao Bao led his troops down from the chasm, and while returning to the town of Xuchang, he also had to advance to Zhiyuan Pass to completely make up for the Huainan army's loophole.
Therefore, the current situation is that among the dangerous passes around Luoyang, the Huainan army has blocked the two most important gateways, Yique and Chenggao.Shenyuanguan has also reserved enough troops. Even if they can't successfully invade Heluo, they can at least block the enemy's troops in Heluo and ensure the safety of the hinterland of Yuzhou.
In the Xingyang camp, it was the first time for Xuzhou generals to participate in the formal military meeting of the Huainan Dudufu.When the Huainan Army's previous arrangements for Luoyang were in front of them, these generals from Xuzhou were unavoidably surprised.
To be honest, it is inevitable for people to have the desire to win, especially for warriors.Xuzhou was originally one of the most important military towns in the north of the Yangtze River. Even if these generals and military leaders did not mention the imaginary number of hundreds of battles, they were all battle-tested generals. The combat power of the direct line series is fully guaranteed.
However, since the Huaishang War a few years ago, Huainan has emerged as a new army, and it has steadily surpassed the Xuzhou Army in terms of record and reputation.Although these military leaders have their own needs.Most of them maintain a good relationship with Huainan, but there is some resentment in their hearts about this phenomenon.
Even some Xuzhou army leaders who expressed or hinted that they were ready to join Shen Zhezi were more out of consideration for the future, rather than affirming that the Huainan army was better than the Xuzhou army.In their view, the combat effectiveness of the Huainan Army is based more on the use of powerful weapons. Once the two sides maintain the same level, the Huainan Army will never be the opponent of the Xuzhou Army.
It is true that the first battle of Liyang brought them a lot of frustration. Although the battle ended with the collapse of the Shikan army itself, the problem is that the overwhelming force of the enemy has little resistance and collapses before the battle. It is much more difficult than fighting hard to win.
All the generals in Xuzhou are generals who have been in the army for a long time, so naturally they will not criticize the Huainan Army in this regard.In particular, the Huainan brigade dared to go deep north and take Yecheng directly. This made them have to give the Huainan army serious attention. The opponent was at least an elite soldier equal to themselves.
After seeing the arrangements made by the Huainan Army to regain Heluo, the Xuzhou generals finally realized why the Huainan Army was able to make great achievements repeatedly.
At the very least, the Huainan Army has assembled tens of thousands of troops since the beginning of March to block the gate of Heluonan.Even though the main combat zone was still in the direction of Hebei during this period, this team has always maintained a state of gathering and preparing for war. This alone is beyond the reach of the Xuzhou Army.
It is not such a great strategy to make arrangements in advance and carry out targeted offense and defense. Generally, generals with normal tactical strategies can make this decision.But the problem is that it is much more difficult to implement the decision.
The Xuzhou generals have been on the sidelines for a long time, but from their memory, there are very few large-scale mobilization battles that lasted for such a long time.Most of the battles in Xuzhou are in a state of stress. When they are strong, they will take the initiative to attack and when they are weak, they will passively defend. Even if they are advancing between Qing and Yan this time, there is no clear plan. which step.
Therefore, when there was a sudden change in Taishan County, there was no response plan, and no army took the initiative to attack the chaos.In the end, Shen Mu, an outsider, made the first move, and the rest of the armies caught up later.
It is similar to how the people of Nanyang assembled for half a year without even thinking about it. For more than half a year, they would spend a lot of money without gaining an inch of effort. Even if the governor's government is willing to take the initiative to bear this effort, the generals may not be happy.Seeing that others are hunting for merit, but they are shrinking back. With this time, they might as well disband the trilogy and go home to farm.
Therefore, with the organizational model of the Xuzhou Army, facing the huge goal of Heluo, it is basically impossible to make arrangements several months in advance.Their fighting mode is that before the battle, the governor will come forward to coordinate all parties, agree to advance together, and then attack from all directions concurrently, aggressively.
In this way, the enemy army has already prepared for it and made targeted arrangements.Once the war progresses unsatisfactorily, or if one side finds that the battle is more difficult, the soldiers of that side will be dissatisfied, or ask for more compensation, or turn to the other side to ensure their own interests. retreat.
It is the best result to be able to win the goal in one go. If you can't win it and have to retreat, the similar process will have to be repeated again.
