The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 225 Why does Xiang Jun dare to fight again?
"Beixiang was so ruthless that he actually set fire to the grain and grass in Gongchang City and fled to Huizhou City." Looking at Gongchang City that was burned down by a fire, Song Yingkui sighed helplessly.

The distance between Guanying Town and Gongchang City is only fifty miles. After Beixiang was defeated on the Guanying front line, Gongchang City would definitely not be able to hold on. They originally thought they could take advantage of the situation to obtain some military supplies in Gongchang City.As a result, a fire in Beixiang burned everything, and the Yungu army only got an abandoned city.

There is a lot of dry fodder in Beixiang's military resources. Once the fire breaks out, there will really be nothing left.

"The commander and those who collected the battlefield from the rear made a rough calculation. In this battle, more than [-] Xiang thieves were captured, about [-] enemy corpses were collected, and about [-] Xiang weapons were captured. This battle can be said to be a complete victory. Next, shall we take advantage of the situation to regain Huizhou City?" After receiving the statistics of the battle results from the rear, the third uncle hurried over to ask Song Yingkui about his next battle plan.

"Keep the front line still for the time being, and notify the officers at battalion level and above on the front line to hold a temporary military meeting before making a decision." The battle situation is progressing so smoothly that the previous series of tactical arrangements are useless, and a meeting must be held. The meeting will analyze the current military situation before making a decision.

The original idea was to entangle Xiang Jun in the official camp and wait for an opportunity to annihilate Xiang Jun's elite forces.But after defeating the enemy in the first battle, Xiang Jun's elite strength was not clear where to go, so how could he annihilate the enemy?

This battle has probably beaten Xiang Jun into a frightened state. Facing Xiang Jun's entire cavalry force, if Xiang Jun insists on running away, Yun Gu's army will not have a good means of annihilating the enemy.

The former enemy generals rushed to Gongchang City. Everyone had different opinions on how to fight the next war.Some advocate continuing to attack Kehuizhou City in the north and driving Xiang Jun to the north of Jingzhou.Some people think that if they continue to fight, they will not be able to destroy many enemy troops. It is better to set up defenses in Gongchang and wait for Xiang Jun's next military move.Of course, some people suggested that we go back to the official camp for the time being. Gongchang City has been destroyed, and there is no need to tangle with Xiang Jun here.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Song Yingkui was still undecided.It is great to expand the territory, but the places that can be occupied in front of us are all useless. If not done well, it will tie up the hands and feet of the army and occupy the few mobile forces.

Doesn't it take up space? This battle seems to be in vain. It's really a dilemma.

"Hurry up and ask Director Jiang in Taoyang to come to the front line. I have something to ask you." These generals on the front line are not strategic enough. After much deliberation, I decided to ask my second uncle for his opinion before making a decision.

……

"City Lord, how do you plan to get along with Dazheng? If Huizhou City is captured, the cities of Longyou and Wazhou will inevitably be brought under the rule. By then, Yungu and Dazheng will be directly connected." The second uncle said. He did not directly give the next strategic direction, but turned the topic to the relationship between Yun Gujun and Dazheng.

"How do you think our relationship with Dazheng is best?" After some advice from his second uncle, Song Yingkui discovered that the most sensitive person at the moment was not Beixiang, but Dazheng.What identity did General Yungu use to associate with Dazheng?

Although Dazheng seems to be very timid when facing Beixiang and Xifan, he has always had a tradition of attacking internally.Once they occupy Wazhou, Huizhou and Longyou, the Yungu Army will be a separatist regime that cannot be lost, and there will be no way out between it and Dazheng.

Dazheng will never allow a powerful threatening force with the same culture and the same military power to appear around him. It will regard the Yungu Army as the main threatening force competing for the world.

Da Zheng, who is really angry, is not so easy to deal with. If Da Zheng uses all his national strength to fight, the Yungu army will not be able to retreat, and there are two tigers and wolves, Beixiang and Xifan, beside him.For the sake of profit, the possibility of direct collusion between Dazheng and one of the parties is not even ruled out.

In terms of combat power, the Dazheng army's combat power is average, but their advantage lies in their deep national strength and their ability to fight long-term wars of attrition.However, the Yungu Army is short of military strength and it is difficult to form an absolute advantage in a short period of time. If it falls into a war of attrition, the situation is likely to worsen.It is not appropriate to break with Dazheng directly at this time!

The second uncle stroked his beard, looked around and said: "The people between Huizhou and Hui Gongchang moved to Yungu territory. It is the best policy to hide one's strength, bide one's time and gather strength. The Kujia around Hui Gongchang is barren, not the upper land. "

At this time, the second uncle of the Yungu Army also saw the military strength, and the relationship between the Jiang and Song families was also put here.Although he was once a bureaucrat of Dazheng, Dazheng could not give him the benefits that Yungujun could give him.Considering this, he didn't want to say much about where his heart was.

Of course, he should consider defeat before winning. For the sake of safety, he felt that Song Yingkui should stabilize the current territory first and make it truly become the Song family's basic territory. This is the choice for an invincible position.As for the rest, just wait for the opportunity. The hinterland of Dazheng is still very stable and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Well, the great kindness my uncle said is that stabilizing the present is indeed the first thing. There needs to be a buffer between Yungu and Dazheng, and we can't disrupt the overall situation just for a piece of useless land." What is the second uncle thinking in his mind? It’s hard to verify, but you must convey your meaning clearly.In words, Song Yingkui revealed his core attitude.

After talking with his second uncle, Song Yingkui made up his mind.Ignore Huizhou City for now and wait until the time is right.The few remaining people near Gongchang were moved to Hezhou and Taozhou districts as much as possible, making this area a basic no-man's land and serving as a strategic buffer between Beixiang and Yungu.From a larger strategic perspective, except for the Lintao area, other Xisu abandoned areas will serve as buffer zones between Yungu and Dazheng.

With Dazheng's urine, they should not have the idea of ​​taking back this area from Xiang Jun.

"Commander, Xiang Jun still has many troops gathered in Huizhou. If we withdraw now, will Xiang Jun counterattack?" Seeing that Song Yingkui was about to withdraw his troops and return to the country, Yang Shunan raised his concerns.After only a few days of fighting, will Xiang Jun give up?Could the war be ended so hastily?
"We are not afraid that they will capture Gongchang City again. If they dare to come, our army will be able to annihilate more Xiang Jun. However, will Xiang Jun dare to come again? According to the detailed post-war statistics, they are very close in this battle. The army and the headquarters lost more than 4000 soldiers and horses, which is considered to be severely damaged, and it is difficult for them to be thief again."

The harvest on the battlefield was somewhat unexpected. Song Yingkui originally thought that the losses caused to Xiang Jun in the official camp battle were not fatal.As a result, after detailed statistics over the past few days, it was discovered that there were many elite Xiang troops at the forefront of the battlefield that day, and they naturally suffered the greatest losses.It can be said that in just one battle, their main force was wiped out.

With Xiang Jun losing his military bones, Song Yingkui didn't feel that they had the motivation to continue fighting.Besides, almost all the firearms that Xiang Jun brought to the front line fell into the hands of the Yungu Army. Why would they dare to fight again?
