Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 302: 16,000 and 60,000

In the side hall of the Jinxiang Hall, the sun shines in through the carved doors and windows, and the bamboo curtains shaken by the wind are bright and dark, if there is a halo. The civil servants who worked here retreated, and the most powerful circle of people in the court followed. Two ministers of the Privy Council, four prime ministers, four senior generals in front of the palace, and three senior generals in guards.

Once the emperor and the courtier, some new faces were added to the center, and many old faces were also left behind.

For example, the prime minister Feng Dao and Guo Shao didn’t know exactly where the old man started to be an official. Anyway, he was called a "tumbler" and should have mixed up with many dynasties... But Li Chuyun, Yang Biao, Luo Yanhuan, and even Gao Huaide are relatively new. His face suddenly appeared on this kind of most advanced military aircraft discussion, and it looked a little dazzling.

Luo Yanhuan just took the top spot in the commanding envoy of the guard Ma Jun, not because of how many victories and hard work he had in the past, but the most direct reason: during the Tokyo Mutiny, he led dozens of cavalry to open the Xihua Gate early. A courageous and strategic play laid a very important link for Guo Shao's army to quickly enter the imperial city.

It's that simple. But for the hundreds of thousands of the banned army, only Luo Yanhuan had this opportunity and seized the opportunity.

"Everyone, look at the topographic map of the north bank of the Yellow River." Deputy Envoy Wei Renpu said.

Everyone turned their heads to look around, and a hand-painted rough map hung on a wooden shelf. Wei Renpu is still so temperamental, with a burly figure, and the faintly visible muscles on his neck and arms make him very imposing, but he wears a round-necked robe, with a calm tone and elegant manner.

Wei Renpu calmly stretched out his arm and pointed to the location on the map: "Zezhou (now Jincheng, southern Shanxi Province), leaning on the ridge of Taiyue, looks at Heyang and Hedong; he can even swoop down, and once it crosses the Yellow River, it is called Tokyo No. The danger is safe. Li Jixun’s nest is no longer in Huaizhou, Heyang Town, and he has arrived in Zezhou; he has a vision and chose a good place... Now Li Jixun’s Jianfeng is pointing at this, Jinzhou.

Jinzhou (now Linfen), the throat from Hedong to Guanzhong. If the rebels take possession of Jinzhou, they can rely on the Northern Han Kingdom for their retreat and reinforcements, and enter Guanzhong, Xijing, and the entire north of the Yellow River. To be invincible first, to wait for the opportunity to advance, to retreat to Taiyue, and to guard the key. It is the key to this battle!

Everyone looked at here again, Liaozhou (a hundred miles southeast of Taiyuan, Shanxi, but blocked by mountains), where Li Zhongjin was located. In the second year of Xiande, Liaozhou was captured by Li Jun's army, and Fang was included in our Dazhou territory; to guard against the outpost of the Northern Han Dynasty. However, for Li Chongjin, this place is surrounded by enemies on two sides, and surrounded by mountains on three sides, which cannot be stretched; besides the advantage of being able to retreat to the Northern Han Dynasty, it is really a place of goodness.

Therefore, Li Chongjin is now looting Liaozhou Jinzuo, planning to borrow from the Northern Han Dynasty to Jinju, and join forces with Li Jixun to attack Jinju. "

Behind the wooden map, behind the curtain, there was a graceful figure, the empress dowager Jinzhan. After saying this, Wei Renpu turned around and bowed to the curtain.

Fu Jinzhan said in a quiet voice: "How to deal with it, ministers say it's okay."

Wei Renpu walked down to enter the queue and turned to look at Guo Shao. Guo Shao clasped his fist and said, "I would like to ask Wang Shijun to explain the general plan."

"It's better to be respectful than fate." Wang Pu said to Guo Shao, turning around and worshiping Fu Jinzhan, and took a few steps forward. The palace was silent. Although there were not many people, everyone was very serious and even a little nervous on such occasions.

Wang Pu coughed slightly, and said, "The Deputy Envoy Wei focused on three places, Ze, Jin, and Liao. Among them, Jinzhou is the key place in this battle. The old man believes that. But it is obvious that Li Jixun and Li Chongjin are allied. , Not intimacy... Even before that, the court had avoided a more unfavorable situation, and the three Lees formed an alliance!

From Liaozhou to Jinzhou, the distance is 560 miles, the road is very difficult to walk; and Zezhou to Jinzhou only four hundred and fifty miles on the post road, the road is wide... Under such conditions, Li Jixun’s message has been spread. Tokyo is now, and has already sent troops to the west, turning the road to the north, pointing directly at Jinzhou; at this time Li Zhongjin was still robbing the people in Liaozhou.

I think Li Jixun is in a hurry and Li Chongjin delays. If the imperial soldiers and horses can reinforce Jinju in time, protect Jinju without losing; in the first battle, the two can be set.

Defeat Li Jixun's department under Jinju Castle, and the follow-up army will take Zezhou; you can take advantage of Li Jixun's mobilization. When Li Chongjin arrived in Jinju, and Jinju was not under, Li Chongjin lost his foothold and had nothing to rely on. He was defeated without a fight. "

"A wonderful plan for the king's emissary!" Guo Shaozan said, turning around and bowing to the curtain. "The minister is in the army and hears the cavalry's method of attacking the infantry camp. The best strategy is not to attack the infantry. Break through and divide, and then mess up the queue, it can be defeated.

The strategy of the king and the emperor coincides with the art of war! Li Jixun takes up Zezhou and occupies all the land. It would be very difficult to attack Zezhou. Now he takes the initiative to attack Jinzhou, which is the opportunity to mobilize the shaking. When the enemy attacks, I also attack, and Jinju is the place to decide the winner. The minister seconded the strategy of Wang Shijun and Wei deputy. "

After listening to Guo Shao's beautiful words, Wang Pu felt complacent and couldn't hide it.

After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan said, "When will troops be dispatched, who will be the commander, and who will be mobilized?"

Guo Shao immediately admired Fu Jinzhan. Today, she said very little in the discussion, but the key issue was when she opened her mouth... Fu Jinzhan didn't know how to fight, but she clearly understood the power relationship related to war.

But no one can answer her words. Not even Guo Shao, because there are some things he can't say here.

The biggest problem in Tokyo now is that the first emperor died only two months ago, and he finally calmed down. The interior is not that stable. Many people from above and below are just watching; there are also observers in the outer towns. There are also problems left over from the past. The surrounding area of ​​Tokyo is a flat river and there is no danger to defend. It is simply a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend... Therefore, the court must leave a heavy army in Tokyo and some reliable people.

But it is inconvenient to speak out, even if there are a group of people at the core of power.

Guo Shao feels that some things are just skills to get along with people, not character; just say what you want in front of anyone. He could say some things in public in front of the soldiers, some could only be spoken in the small military circle, some could only be spoken to Fu Jinzhan, some he would not say anyone, just think in his heart... …If you talk nonsense, the slightest consequence will be embarrassing. Sometimes he will meet some people on some occasions, and say some harsh words in public, which is very uncomfortable and helpless. Of course he would not do that, and none of the people present would.

Guo Shao thought for a while, and then said: "Queen dowager, the Forbidden Army is still rectifying, and Long Jiejun Zhang Guanghan's department has not returned to Beijing. I am afraid that it is not a good time to draw hands for the time being. Only wait a few more days for a long-term plan."

Wang Pu said: "Li Jixun will be able to reach Jinju within half a month. He left a few days ago. The Forbidden Army rushed to Jinju for more than 800 miles from Tokyo. If it cannot be dispatched in time, the strategy we discussed before will be useless.

However, the minister and deputy envoy Wei also expected such a situation, in addition to the best policy, there are also the worst. It was to take advantage of Li Jixun's departure from Zezhou to occupy Zezhou first, and then to occupy the land. "

At this time, Fan Zhi said: "Why must the army be banned and transferred to the local festival town to reinforce Jinzhou?"

"Who to transfer?" Wang Pu asked unceremoniously.

Fan Zhi thought for a while and said: "Zhe Dehuo (Zhe Cong Ruan's son, Zhe Cong Ruan has passed away)."

Wang Pu was annoyed and bluntly said: "Fan Xianggong, how did you become the prime minister! The cousin of Zhe Demei and the commander Li Chuyun in front of the palace have a holiday (their cousins ​​Zhe Deliang and Guo Shao are also somewhat It's not a small contradiction of fundamental conflict of interest), now you tell him to take his army to Jinju regardless of his own territory! He will not move after he is ordered? Even if it does, he can go to Jinju in the Year of the Monkey!"

Guo Shaoxin said: There is a more serious problem. The Northwest Jiedushi was originally a semi-independent feudal town, which is very laborious to use; if you give him the imperial decree to restrain more troops and horses of the feudal town, do you encourage him to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the power?

Fu Yanqing is a good candidate, but Fu Yanqing is sixty years old and is too far away from Jinzhou... Guo Shao had to remember Fu Yanqing's last battle in Xinzhou in the Northern Han Dynasty. Fu Yanqing commanded and fought so badly that he should retire. When he is old, it is difficult to ask him to lead soldiers to fight bad battles.

At this moment, Fan Zhi became angry and said, "I have no talent to be a prime minister, ok, ok! I will resign now. Queen Mother..."

"Fan Gong doesn't need to be arrogant, you are a civil servant, and it is normal for Wang Shijun not to be together in military affairs." Fu Jinzhan said angrily.

At this moment, Guo Shao turned around and said, "What if Xiang Gong (who changed his name in his last letter to avoid taboo) defended Jinju?"

Wang Pu was stunned: "Only Li Jixun is attacking, so of course he should hold on. But if the time delays too long and Li Chong enters the army to Jinju, the total strength of the rebels may reach 60,000. Xianggong has that few people, and he will go to Jinju. Soon, the subordinates and the locals have different speech and accent customs. It is hard to say whether they can be of the same heart and morals... If Xiang Gong was attacked by Li Jixun and Li Zhongjin and lost Jinju, it would be excusable."

Wang Pu said again: "Zhao Kuangyin also knew the way General Guo attacked Shouzhou. In the past, Zhao Kuangyin was the confidant of the first emperor, and no one expected him to rebel."

Guo Shao groaned: "The left side of the Long Jie Army, Zhang Guanghan, should be coming to Tokyo~www.readwn.com~ But the reorganization of the Guards Department is also very troublesome. It is almost necessary to redeploy the rest of the Long Jie Army and the Iron Cavalry; It takes time to become familiar with each other for the registration and reorganization of the system. However, the army has been preparing for a long time, and the rectification is basically completed, and it can be used within half a month."

Wang Pu said, "There are more than 30,000 people in the Tiger Cardiac Army. Now they are the most elite of the Forbidden Army, but General Guo wants to take them all out?"

"I only bring one side!" Guo Shao said, "At the critical moment, I can't let Xiang Gong down and let him sit idly by when he is besieged."

Wang Pu stunned: "General Guo's intention right now is to use 16,000 people to beat Li Jixun and Li Chongjin 60,000?"

Guo Shaodao: "The Crane Control Army and Zhuban Zhi can also mobilize some troops... and I didn't deal with Er Li together. Li Jixun went to Jinzhou first; then dealt with Li Chongjin. They defeated each one."
