Competing

Chapter 315
"Which one to hit first?"

When Su An heard Yue Wang Yin Xu's question, he felt a little hesitant, because the incident happened suddenly.During this day, he was all worried about protecting Yin Xu, training the guards, and encountering dangers and accidents in Kuaiji Mountain.Therefore, unlike Pu Jun, he has a detailed understanding and analysis of Minyue and Dongou.

At the same time, Su An also realized a problem, that is, he didn't have any foresight.I also heard Yin Xu mention the same thing, but Pu Jun knew to do his homework in advance, but he didn't have such awareness.Speaking of being busy, Pu Jun has recently been busy training soldiers and rectifying the defense of Shanyin, which is no easier than himself.

On the contrary, I spend more time by Yin Xu's side, but I don't get the bright moon first when I'm close to the water, so it's inevitable that I feel a little disappointed.It seems that in the future, everything will be more careful and ready at any time.It is precisely because of this that Su An's preparations and considerations are not thorough.

For him, the incident was a bit too sudden, and it took several days in Kuaiji Mountain to finally find Yin Xu.While excited, it was inevitable that he would be physically and mentally exhausted, so he received news that the Dongou and Minyue troops were invading.It can be said that the incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to prepare.Now these things are just straightened out and thought of quickly.

For him, in such a short period of time, the only breakthrough he can find is that Si Yao and Wu Zhu are not easy-going lamps, and it is inevitable that each has their own ghosts.Therefore, the Dongou Army and the Minyue Army do not belong to each other, and it is inevitable that it is difficult to cooperate closely.Moreover, it is difficult to coordinate operations between the two armies, and it is an indisputable fact that they are fighting independently.

The best proof of this is that the Dongou and Minyue soldiers split into two groups and marched from two directions.The obvious problem is that the purpose of Si Yao and Wu Zhu's sending troops is not to occupy the land of Yue State, but to aim at the city of Shanyin.

At this time, to do this, it doesn't need to be so complicated, just find a way to attack with all your strength.As long as they captured Shanyin City and killed the current King of Yue, Yin Xu, it could be done.But why didn't they do this, instead they split up?

The reason is very simple, that is, Si Yao has selfish motives, and she must be on guard against nothing.There is Dongou between Minyue and Yue. If the two armies are united, they must pass through the territory of Dongou.Si Yao was worried about everything, and had to guard against it, so she made the decision to take the next best thing.Wuzhu nature also understands, but there is nothing to do about it.Sometimes the prime minister couldn't help but wonder if there was any agreement between Si Yao and Wu Zhu, such as attacking Yue from two directions.Whoever reaches Shanyin first and captures the city will be the ruler of Yue.

Although the two families have a total of more than 4 troops, it is a very powerful and terrifying force when they are concentrated, but once they are dispersed, they are not to be feared.As long as it is operated properly, it is not difficult to defeat them one by one with Yue's elite troops.

But if you really have to make a choice, it's really hard to decide which one to fight first, because there are many things involved in it.There are many pros and cons, which must be carefully considered and weighed carefully.

Su An whispered: "If we concentrate our forces to attack Dongou Siyao, there are only more than 1 people in Sujiao in Fanyi. Can we resist Wuzhu's attack of nearly 3 people? Fanyi is under too much pressure. It must be considered whether the side of the corner can bear it. If it succeeds, our army will be able to cross the Ou River directly, flatten the East Ou, and point directly at Minyue.

In that case, if the homeland of Fujian and Vietnam is attacked, there will definitely be soldiers who worry about their hometown and have no desire to fight.Moreover, Wuzhu's retreat route will be cut off by us, and Su Jiao's army can fight back vigorously. Our army flanks back and forth, and it is easy to completely defeat Wuzhu's troops.

Conversely, it is also possible to attack Minyue first. As long as the Minyue Kingdom can be taken down, Dongou is still in our pocket.It's just that Minyue is more powerful, and it's not easy to conquer it in a short time.Moreover, Dongou is closer to Shanyin, Zhou Da and Lu Ming are under greater pressure and the risk is greater.So if you have to make a choice, I would prefer to fight Dongou first, but I don't know if General Su Jiao... These are my rough ideas, and I leave everything to the king to decide. "

Yin Xu nodded slightly, he was still very satisfied with Su An's performance.Seeing that his eyes were full of blood, it seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.During the days when he was missing, Su An might not have closed his eyes. In such a mental state, his thinking is still so flexible. It is already very good to have such an analysis.
Yin Xu said softly: "Bozhou, that's right, I will consider your suggestion carefully, remember to go down and have a good rest later. Don't get tired, I want you to be the captain of the guard!" The corners of my mouth were already too much when I said this Many comforting and close smiles.

Su An was suddenly moved, and nodded slightly, feeling warm in his heart.Then stand aside and listen quietly.

Yin Xu asked again: "Gao Yi, what about you? What do you think? Among us, you have spent the longest time in Shanyin, and you know the Yue Kingdom, Dongou, and Minyue better. What do you think about this matter?" See? I want to hear it!"

Gao Yi smiled slightly, and replied: "Your Majesty, Gao Yi is a civil servant and doesn't know much about military affairs. But I agree with Pu Jun and Bozhou's two generals, that is, this time the battle must be resolved quickly. Now our country of Yue should not be caught in a battle of protracted attrition.

As Bozhou said before, if our army confronts the Eastern Ou Army and the Minyue Army in the border area, it will be evenly matched.The war is bound to reach a stalemate, and in this case, it will be a huge drain on our army.We must know that our savings in San'in are not much, especially the convenience of food and grass is limited, and we cannot afford such a long-term consumption.Of course, Dongou and Minyue in the south also sent troops suddenly after receiving the news, and they were not fully prepared.The natural conditions there are worse than ours, and they may not be as good as us in grain and grass reserves.But we can't take risks so easily to fight for consumption, there are too many risks.

In the future, the king will lead his army to the north to fight for hegemony. It would be worthless if he wiped out all the wealth of the Yue Kingdom for the sake of the little Dongou and Minyue.During this period of time, in accordance with your majesty's instructions, the territory of Yue is actively opening up wasteland and farming, building water conservancy, recuperating, and accumulating strength.If it falls into war for a long time, it will definitely affect the plan for the revival of the Yue Kingdom.

And once our army has been caught in the quagmire of war on the southern front for a long time, the troops and supplies will be restrained in large quantities.The north of our country is bound to fall into emptiness. The capital Sanyin and Beikuaiji County in the Western Chu Kingdom are only separated by a Zhejiang River. We must always be careful and guard against it.Therefore, the war in the south must end as soon as possible, and it cannot and cannot be delayed.

As for whether to concentrate troops against one side, this minister doesn't understand military affairs, so he really dare not speak nonsense.Regarding the matter of leading troops to fight, I also invite the king and several generals to discuss and decide. "

Today's Yue's internal affairs are almost entirely controlled by Gao Yi, and he is the most clear about the family background and strength of the Yue country.The army has not yet been moved, food and grass have to go first, and the country of Yue has just been established, everything is started from scratch, and there is not yet sufficient reserves.Therefore, it is impossible to carry out a long-term protracted war of attrition.Moreover, the country of Yue is now in a state of ruins, and when everything is thriving and developing, the mainland cannot withstand the devastation and ruin of the war.

Gao Yi was deeply worried about this, so why not Yin Xu?He knows how a long war can seriously damage a country.Especially in the era of cold weapons, especially in today's environment, the vassal states are small in size and limited in strength, and fighting is almost like throwing the whole country's soldiers.After a long time, the consumption and destruction are unbearable. No one wants to fight a country for a victory. The country will be empty and weak.If that's the case, the victory is a tragic victory after all, so what's the point of winning?

Yin Xu really didn't want to do this, and he also wanted to do this. He was educated in a military academy in his previous life, and he has ideas and insights beyond ordinary people's thinking and strategy in combat.So since this time, Yin Xu has never fought recklessly when encountering battles, and most of the time he used tactics and skills to win.

Thinking back to when banditry was carried out in the area of ​​Peng Lize, more than 200 people were able to cope with the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of Qin troops.At that time, it was because of the many advantages of the terrain and the familiarity with the local terrain that flooding, fire attack, rockfall, sneak attack... all kinds of strategies were used.

It is precisely because of this that they have dealt with Qin's army for so long with a small casualty and price, and with that weak strength.It is almost unimaginable to think about it now and win in the end.

Later, he participated in the Chu army, except when Qin Jia and Jing Ju and his like attacked Pengcheng for the first time, they led the army with Yingbo to attack.At that time, it was because of my own needs, and I needed to prove myself with brave battles and illustrious military exploits, so as to gain a firm foothold in the Chu army.And the most important thing is that the opponent is just a mob, vulnerable to a single blow.

Later, when he fought against Zhang Han's Qin army, Yin Xu paid great attention to this aspect.For example, adopt some strategies to encircle Wei and save Zhao, for example, when Zhang Han led his army to fight in Qi and Chu, he took Beidu Jishui and Dahe to burn his food and grass.

Otherwise, the outcome of the war and the bravery of the soldiers play an important role, but they are not the decisive factors.In fact, the outcome of a war is not decided by the two sides fighting together.Often speaking, whether a war can be won or not depends on a key point, as long as this key point is grasped, it will be infinitely magnified, and it will be used well.Then victory is not far away, Yin Xu has always been like this before.

Therefore, this war with Minyue and Dongou is also the same idea. It needs to be certified and analyzed to find out where the opponent's weaknesses are.That is to find out the key points of this war, defeat them in one fell swoop, and win the battle quickly!
