Chapter 531

However, Xue Song made some explanations and said: "Tao Shijun, this is of two natures with the dispute between Shu and Wei. Xin Nuoluo is here to plunder. Therefore, I dare not hold on for long. Besides, we are attacking Jishi Mountain. Now there are Maybe Xinuoluo hasn't heard the news yet. The street pavilion may not be easy to defend, but after two or three days of guarding, Xinuoluo's army is blocked, and when he hears the news from Jishi Mountain, he will naturally retreat."

This is forcing Xin Nuoluo back.Of course it's not as simple as forcing back.But there is no need for Xue Song to explain to Tao Hanming.

"But why set up an ambush at the kiosk?"

From Minzhou to Qinzhou, there are two directions to insert Qinzhou.

The first is from the south of Longxi County, which was later Wushan County, to the east and straight to Qinzhou.However, the southern part of Wushan County belongs to the western end of the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains. The entire terrain is high in the west and low in the east, high in the south and low in the north.Therefore, Wudang County is the throat of the Silk Road, but this Silk Road starts from Wudang County, but it is slightly tilted to the northwest, and has nothing to do with the southern region.There are roads, but they are all trails. It is very inconvenient for a large army to march, and it will delay time instead.

Therefore, it can only be raised from the northeast direction, go straight into the middle of Longxi County, and then turn east to Qinzhou.This road is a bright road.Now that Qinzhou's twelve prefectures are empty of troops, Xin Nuoluo naturally chose this path.

But strictly speaking, Jieting is in the north and slightly west of Qinzhou. Even if they attack Qinzhou, according to common sense, they will not go to Jieting.

So Tao Hanming is just a scholar, he can only see the road on the map, but he cannot see the significance of the road in the military.

Common sense would not go to the street pavilion, but Xinuoluo came to rob.Now that Qinzhou is empty of troops, in order to expand the harvest, he must occupy Jieting.

The location of Jieting is an open river valley, extending in all directions, and the north and south mountains are dangerous. It is a strategic place that can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.

As long as Jieting is occupied, it can stop the common people, merchants and wealthy people from fleeing northward, or use the developed roads of Jieting to send a force southeast to the back of Qinzhou to increase the harvest of plunder.

Moreover, once the imperial court sent reinforcements and Qinzhou was occupied by Xin Nuoluo, they had to pass through Jieting and go down to the southwest to cut off Xin Nuoluo's return route, then Xinuoluo might be in a dangerous position.Although this possibility is extremely small, he is going deep alone. Once he captures Qinzhou, he will be very far away from Jishi Mountain.It is impossible for him to ignore this scruple.But as long as the street pavilion is occupied, it is tantamount to a two-pronged approach, guarding against all incoming dangers.

So Zhuge Liang attacked Wei, and the three cities of Nan'an, Anding, and Tianshui watched the wind and descended. Tianshui is now Qinzhou.But Zhuge Liang did not send troops to guard Tianshui, but sent Ma Su to lead an army of [-] to guard Jieting.But the street pavilion in front was lost, and Zhuge Liang immediately called the people in the three cities back to Hanzhong.At any time, Tianshui will be cut into an isolated city, and if it cannot be defended, it is better not to defend it.

This is the military value of the street kiosk.

This is what Wang Hua discussed repeatedly with the generals in the barracks.If Xin Nuoluo was Chang Yuankai, he might have directly attacked Qinzhou.Xueying did nothing this time.But just because Xin Nuoluo is a wise man, before attacking Qinzhou, the first step will be to capture this strategic location.

Of course, in order for Tao Hanming to cooperate, Xue Song also explained to him tirelessly.It took a long time for Tao Hanming to understand a little bit.

But Xue Song changed the subject and said: "However, there may be accidents, because Qinzhou's troops are now empty, and it is possible that Xinuoluo's troops will divide into two groups, one to capture Jieting and the other to attack Qinzhou."

Hearing that Xin Nuoluo was going to attack Qinzhou, Tao Hanming's face became ugly again.

"But Tao Shijun, please rest assured. This time we will not use the banner of the Blood Camp, but may use the banner of a certain army in the imperial court. Even if he attacks Qinzhou, I believe you will not be unable to hold it for a day or two. As long as you hold it Two days a day, I heard that the Jieting has been stationed with heavy troops. He can either be suspicious and retreat back to Minzhou, or send heavy troops to take the Jieting. The latter is very likely. The siege of Qinzhou will be resolved by itself."

"Then why don't you put the army on the main road?" Tao Hanming was referring to the main road from Wushan to Qinzhou.

"Tao Shijun, it's not that simple. This is the Silk Road, and there are many merchants coming and going. If you lay down a large army in front, it will be heard in the ears of Xin Nuoluo. If you lose the effect of surprise soldiers, he will come up with other strategies. In this way, only Forced us to confront them head-on. But this is not in Eight States, we did not bring many soldiers, and if we confront them head-on, the entire army may be wiped out. So we can only choose to set up an ambush in Jieting."

If Tao Hanming didn't understand such an explanation, he would be a pig.

After that, they cooperated very well, sent weapons and supplies, and at the same time sent people to block the news. Of course, they also concentrated the pitiful troops. Even the yamen servants went to the front line with their elbows, and began to prepare to defend the city.

Of course, he also knew that cooperating with the blood camp would cause dissatisfaction among some people in the court, but it was better than letting Tubo break the city and become a prisoner.

He even rode to Jieting to take a look.

But after seeing it, I was shocked again.

Blood Camp brought [-] soldiers, and [-] soldiers set up camp on Duanshan Mountain, with Lianhechuan below, and then sent another [-] soldiers to station in Jiecheng.Although he doesn't know much about military affairs, he also knows that this layout is exactly the layout of Ma Di back then.

Moreover, Ma Di moved his army book dogmatically, thinking that he was superior, so he stationed [-] troops on Duanshan, which caused Zhang He to cut off the waterway, and the Shu army would be chaotic without a fight. Duanshan and Lianhechuan became Ma Su's [-] Shu army. Burial place.

Regardless of the conflict between the blood camp and the court, once the blood camp is defeated, Qinzhou City will be destroyed immediately. Tao Hanming immediately rode his horse and found Xue Song who was directing the ambush in Anza, and said anxiously: "General Xue, you You can't camp like this."

Xue Song laughed aloud, and said, "Prefect Tao, do you think I haven't even read "Three Kingdoms"?"

"Then you, then you," came out without you, meaning since you have read "Three Kingdoms", why did you arrange it this way.

"Soldiers have no permanent strategy, and water has no permanent shape. Past successes can become the burden of tomorrow's defeat. Past defeats can become tomorrow's joy of success. Tao Shijun, you should still be busy with your work. If we hold the street pavilion , but your Qinzhou persisted for less than half a day, and this move was a waste of time, and tens of thousands of people in Qinzhou City will suffer disaster. Jieting, he can't even think about taking it!"

Tao Hanming believed or doubted in his heart, he said believe it, the history books have recorded Ma Su's mistakes, and they have been proved by living examples.Believe it or not, the record of the blood camp was also achieved.

I left with trepidation in my heart.

In fact, there is a difference, Ma Di has 5 people, Xue Song has 4000 people, Zhang Yun can afford the time, but Xin Nuoluo has no time to wait.And around Broken Mountain, there are a series of ingenious arrangements.At the same time, it also sounded the second death knell for the Xinuoluo army.

Xue Song arranged it in the street pavilion, and the third one went down.

Even if Xin Nuoluo retreated, he might not follow the path that Wang Hua wanted Xin Nuoluo to take, so Wang Hua had to make some arrangements to let Xin Nuoluo follow his command.

But these arrangements cannot be forced. Xin Nuoluo's two groups of nearly [-] troops are not vegetarians.At the same time, it must be very clever. This is a very smart general. Once he finds something is wrong, he will forcefully break through and retreat to Jishi Mountain from a road that Wang Hua does not want him to go.

So Wang Hua made some arrangements again.

The first way is for the two armies to rejoin Taozhou and retreat to Jishi Mountain. This is obviously impossible.Once Xinuoluo knew that the Blood Camp was attacking him, Taozhou was very close to Hezhou, and he had to cross Taoshui, the Yellow River and some mountains, and he brought countless captured luggage and people. The trip was far and dangerous.

The second road is to withdraw to Diezhou. If you go west, you only need to cross the Xiqing Mountain to reach Jishi Mountain. Apart from some rugged mountain roads, this road is very close to Jishi Mountain and at the same time it is very safe.

But it was exactly what Wang Hua hoped for.

There is another road, Xinuoluo's army goes south to join Afuzan's army, and goes to Wuzhou to cross the Qiang River and enter Shu.

This road is very flat, and it is also the old way of Wu Hou's attack on Wei.

But Zhuge Liang's choice of this path has caused great controversy in history. Before the expedition, Wei Yan proposed a strategy of surprise attacking Chang'an through the Ziwu Valley. Dao, and then let Zhuge Liang take the flatter Baoxie Road to join, and took Chang'an in one fell swoop.

However, Zhuge Liang rejected it because "I thought it was a dangerous situation, it is better to be calm and calm, and I can take Longyou equally, and everything will be conquered without any danger".

It cannot be denied Zhuge Liang's military skills, what a strategic vision it is to divide the world before he is a fledgling, capture Menghuo seven times, and defeat the strong Wei with the weak Shu and defeat the strong Wei, what an amazing performance this is?But compared with his strategic vision, his tactical talent is slightly inferior, let alone his ability to govern the country.

In the decades of Shu he ruled, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, the weather was smooth, and the Wei was attacked many times. Ranked among the top five Chinese celebrities!
But the tactical vision is indeed poor, good or bad, compared to Li Jing and the others, at least the distance from Shanghai to Beijing is so far behind.

Is there anything wrong with choosing Marquis Wu this time?
wrong!

At that time, Wei Yan said: "I heard that Xiahou Maoshao is also the son-in-law. He is cowardly and has no plan. Today, the fake extension has [-] elite soldiers and [-] grains. It will go straight from Baozhong. It will follow the Qinling Mountains to the east, and at midnight to the north, it will only take ten days. You can go to Chang'an. Maowen is dying, and he must escape by boat. In Chang'an, there are only Yushi and Jingzhao Taishouer. One day, and the public will come from Xiegu, and it will be enough to reach. If this is the case, the west of Xianyang can be determined in one fell swoop.”

Is this the case? Looking back now, it is the case.Although Ziwu Road is extremely dangerous and difficult to navigate, how can Wei Yanjiu, who is in Hanzhong, be unfamiliar with Ziwu Road?Just like Wang Hua in Shanhe, are you familiar with Taozhou and Weizhou?Besides, will Wei Jun set up an ambush?If it is set up, it is really dangerous. In many places, one man guards the gate, and no one can open it.But "Wei Lue" clearly records: At the beginning, the country (referring to Cao Wei) was only Liu Bei in Shu.After Bei died, he was silent for several years, so he was a little unprepared, and the news of the death came out, and the government and the public were afraid.Therefore, Marquis Wu's first Northern Expedition brought great concealment and suddenness. Wei Guo was not prepared in terms of military supplies or even mentally. Leaving an ambush in the valley?
Secondly, will Xia Houmao run away, or resist?Similarly, "Wei Lue" also records this character, Cao Cao's son-in-law, but a typical useless playboy, Wei Yan knows this person well, so it is completely reasonable to judge him to escape.

The third point is that without the support of Longyou, is taking Chang'an alone defending the city?This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang defeated Wei and took Longyou.At this time, Zhao Yun, Wu Yi, Ma Dai and other veteran generals are still there, such as recruiting Hu Qiang from Kansai to help.Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan respectively led the main force and the partial division to join forces at Tongguan, and then Wei Yan cooperated with Zhuge Liang to capture Longyou. In this way, Qinchuan, which is [-] miles away, and west of Xianyang can indeed be "determined in one fell swoop".In fact, there are precedents for Wei Yan's conspiracy.During the Chu and Han Dynasties, Han Xin was a general. He built plank roads in the open and kept Chen Cang in secret. The main force left Tongguan in the east.Gaozu also determined the Three Qin Dynasty and conquered Guanzhong in one fell swoop.Wei Yan's strategy was based on Han Xin's strategy in Hanzhong, and his bravery surpassed that of Huaiyinhou.

There is such a strong general who is not used, but uses Ma Di who Liu Bei told him not to use. It is right to seek stability. He has the burden of a country and has to be cautious.However, marching and fighting is a coincidence, not to mention that the state of Shu is not as strong as the state of Wei, and there is no capital to use a large army to steadily advance.

Or is it stable?
Wei Yan's defeat was only 5000 people, and Ma Su's defeat was a full 5 people!
Even Wei Yan himself, Zhuge Liang, didn't reflect on it afterwards, and before he died, he gave an order, "If Yan or he doesn't follow orders, the army will be spontaneous." This spontaneous sentence is not to ask the Kingdom of Shu to kill Wei Yan, but to be careful of Wei Yan.But it was precisely because of this sentence that Yang Yi and Wei Yan started to fight, and both of them died, destroying the two pillars of the Shu Kingdom.

But isn't it treason?Later, countless people proved that Wei Yan did not have any objections. He was superior to Yang Yi in terms of rank, and there was no need to obey Yang Yi's command. The burning of the plank road was only for self-protection.But because of Zhuge Liang's suggestion, even Jiang Wan and Dong Yun challenged Wei Yan to say that he was "suspecting rebellion".Killed a generation of famous generals alive.Later, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" added another fire, making Wei Yan unable to stand up for hundreds of years in the hearts of people who don't know the truth.

In fact, in the final analysis, Wei Yan is talented and likes to use strange soldiers, which makes Zhuge Liang uncomfortable.It was inevitable that he would complain about not being reused, but it aggravated Zhuge Liang's doubts.Not only did Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang fail to use him well, but he asked whether Zhao Yun, a famous general of the generation, had ever been reused in Zhuge Liang's hands?

Zhao Yun is okay, it has been proved that Wei Yan, the young general who was personally selected by Liu Bei, may be Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang, who let Zhuge Liang suffocate to death!

So it's a sad path.

But because of the whole strategy, this ancient road had to be placed on Wang Hua's desk.

This road enters Shu, and there are two roads back to Jishi Mountain. The first road is from Fuzhou, which is later known as Jiuzhaigou, into Misang, which is a defense and defense, and goes straight behind Jishi Mountain.This is also a safe road. Although it is also not easy to walk, it can avoid the army of the Blood Camp in front of Jishi Mountain.If there is no arrangement, Xin Nuoluo will probably take this road with a large amount of luggage and people in custody.The second one is further south, with a wider road, Songzhou.

But in this way, Songzhou must be conquered, otherwise it would be impossible to cross the Songfan Swamp, which is the grassland where the Red Army later crossed.

But now Songzhou has a great man, Sun Renxian, the governor of Songzhou.

This is a civil servant who has only been in Songzhou for more than a year. However, during this year, the Tubo who came to plunder suffered a lot.It's just that the battle was not big, and it didn't attract the attention of the court.But it is impossible for Wang Hua and Xin Nuoluo to be negligent.

If Xin Nuoluo was in a hurry to go back, and brought a large group of materials and captives from the Tang Dynasty, it seemed that it was not Xin Nuoluo's style to confront this ignorant Sun Renxian head-on.Therefore, this path can also be discarded.

Moreover, Songzhou is not under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou, and there are not many troop deployments.This made Xin Nuoluo have to think carefully when choosing a retreat route.

In fact, this road does not need to be considered. Whether it is from Fuzhou or Songzhou, it must pass through Wuzhou.

Only in Wuzhou, Xin Nuoluo finally gave up the choice of entering Shu due to time constraints.

But Wuzhou was also empty of troops, and Fuzhou was a small state, so Wang Hua had no choice but to focus on Sun Renxian.

Song Yi'an came to Songzhou City and asked to see Sun Renxian.

Because of the matter of Da Yanlei, Song Yi'an is now famous in the Tang Dynasty.Even the storyteller mentioned this lobbyist many times in the four-faced novel.

Sun Renxian was also curious, and immediately ordered someone to let him in to see what this lobbyist who had fooled Dayan into a stranger looked like.

When the person came in, he looked very thin, but he was wearing a Confucian shirt, but he was also very clean and tidy.

Sun Renxian felt amused and asked, "You are Wei Kong?"

Song Yi'an laughed and said, "I lied to Dayan, so I used the false name of Wei Kong. But I came here today to meet the envoy honestly, so I used my real name."

"Oh, why are you here to be honest?"

"I came to ask Sun Dudu for help on behalf of the blood camp for the captured people in Mintao and the dignity of the Tang Dynasty."

"Your blood camp still has the dignity of the Tang Dynasty? How many thousands of people? It seems that at the foot of Kuizi Mountain and Langao Mountain, nearly [-] Tang Dynasty soldiers have not lost their souls. Why do you care about the safety of thousands of Tang Dynasty people?" Sun Renxian Said extremely sarcastically.

"Sun Dudu, if these tens of thousands of soldiers don't die, why should we let the soldiers of the blood battalion lower their heads like idiots and let the people of the court behead them? Not only let the people of the court behead their heads, but also let the Turks and Tubo be beheaded. Let the people wash and plunder the Tibetans and the Turks. Dudu Sun, I asked to see you in my real name, so I came here honestly. If Dudu Sun doesn’t even understand the right and wrong of this, I have no choice but to go back. Anyway, the Tubo people looted It's just Taoditang and Qin Shuzhou, what does it have to do with the eight states!" Song Yi'an got up immediately after finishing speaking.

But Sun Renxian was not angry, he was a capable person, but it was a pity that the court had been neglecting him.

He stretched out his hand, although Sun Renxian was also a civil servant, but Sun Renxian was more similar to Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong, with great strength, it was a pity that he just pulled, and Song Yi'an obediently let him drag him to the chair and sit down.

Then Sun Renxian said: "I don't care what you want to do, but I asked you, isn't it true that hundreds of thousands of soldiers were captured or killed?"

"Sun Dudu, since you asked this question, I'll tell you too. If our battalion commander hadn't ordered us to save the lives of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in this battle, you thought there would be so many prisoners alive! I have the intention of sacrificing myself on the battlefield at any time. Soldiers are soldiers, people are people, don’t you, Dudu Sun, understand the difference!?”

It made sense, Sun Renxian laughed aloud, and asked, "Then, what do you, the battalion supervisor, want XX to do for you?"
