Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Zhuozhou Hantong Department is in a hurry!" Zuo You hurried into the lobby. Wei Renpu and other ministers suddenly raised their heads, and some people hurriedly put their pens down.

Guo Shao said, "Get the urgent report."

He is holding a Go piece in his hand on the upper male seat. The black and white pieces are interlaced on the board, but it is not a chess game, but a strange round shape. He was not as indifferent as before. At this time, his brows were frowned and his face was nervous, and there were many scribbles and patterns on the paper beside him.

The officials working in the lobby held their breath and became quieter for a while.

Zuo You said: "Li Du inspects in Gu'an County, where tens of thousands of main cavalry are there. Li Du inspects the west to reinforce Hantong."

Wei Renpu said: "Maybe Li Chuyun's people have gone to support Han Tong now."

Wei Renpu pondered for a moment and said: "As long as Li Chuyun sends out cavalry reinforcements, the Liao army cannot attack Zhuozhou."

Guo Shaodang nodded and said yes. He looked at the fortress group replaced by blacks on the chessboard and repeatedly pushed various tactics. He determined that the foot and cavalry were coordinated and there were fortifications. Perhaps the offensive force was insufficient, but it was not difficult to defend the Zhuozhou battlefield.

Zuo You said again: "It is reported that the main force of the Liao army besieged Zhuozhou and used a lot of siege equipment. Do you want to fight in Zhuozhou?"

Guo Shao blurted out: "The Liao Army is not willing to fight a decisive battle with the Great Zhou Army."

Zuo You said: "If the Liao army were to leave this time, the infantry and the heavyweights would suffer heavy losses..."

Guo Shao read Han Tong's memo again. It is true that the Liao army is not limited to cavalry. They have not been able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of cavalry personnel this time, many of which are infantry, mainly Xi people; of course, they want to attack the fortifications on a large scale, and they will not be too heavy.

If the Zhou army defeated the Liao army head-on in Zhuozhou, it might not be able to form a substantial blow to the cavalry of the Liao army, but their infantry and heavy troops would not be easy to run away!

At this time Wei Renpu pondered: "If we want to mobilize the infantry to gather in Zhuozhou, will we be beaten by the Liao army halfway?"

Guo Shao said solemnly: "It is very likely that if you are really caught a fighter, there is no fortification in the way, and you have not gathered into a formation. It is extremely dangerous to be caught by heavy soldiers."

Wei Renpu said: "According to the general plan of the military mansion, if it is to be conservative and stable, only the main force of Li Chuyun cavalry will be 50,000 to reinforce Zhuozhou. Cooperating with Han Tong, Zhuozhou can be invincible on the battlefield!"

Suddenly many officials echoed this strategy, which is simple and reliable!

But Guo Shao didn't make a decision for a long time.

Indeed, this strategy is too conservative. Guo Shao found a previous inference from the scribbled paper that this strategy could not pose any threat to the Liao army.

First of all, the main force of the cavalry of Li Chuyun's department lost to the Liao army in a field battle, and they could not win the chase; they could only rely on the Zhuozhou fortifications and the 35,000 elite infantry of the Hantong department to compete around Zhuozhou City. It is impossible to attack and win, and the chance of a big defeat is very small...Standing in an unwinnable position.

The front cannot pose a threat to the Liao army, so Dong Zunhao would be even more threatened if he wanted to attack.

Guo Shao stood up and paced back and forth in front of the table. He had no intention of concealing the tension and pressure at this time. He groaned: "I think the purpose of the Liao army is not for a decisive battle. There may be other traps, but If we are too restrained, we will fall into an extremely passive situation."

Guo Shaohu

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) Then stand still and look at the picture on the wall. At this time, the four cities on the front line of the Zhou army were spread from east to west; Bazhou was the base camp on the south bank of the Juma River, the nearest to Gu'an County. The deployment of troops that can be used for field mobilization: Xincheng and Jinzhou in the east have more than 50,000 infantrymen of the Jiannan Army and Jiangnan Army; Zhuozhou and Gu'an are closer to the west, each with 35,000 infantry troops; Bazhou has two infantrymen. Ten thousand... The main force of cavalry is in Gu'an, and Dong Zun teaches nearly ten thousand tiger and cardinal cavalry in Bazhou.

After a while, Guo Shao said: "Order Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao to lead the cavalry to reinforce Zhuozhou, Yang Biao keeps 20,000 cavalry in Gu'an; Gu'an and Bazhou each keep 5,000 elite infantry to help defend the city, the remaining 45,000 People head north and south towards the Juma River, and merge them as soon as possible. Dong Zun’s Department immediately transferred to Gu’an, rested for a day, and attacked according to the established plan!"

Guo Shao paused for a while and said again: "The Custodian Cavalry has two horses, Yang Biao’s department does not need to run long distances without two horses. The surplus horses are allocated to the Gu'an infantry. Then 45,000 people returned to Gu'an together, and then gathered from Gu'an to Zhuozhou!"

Wei Renpu said: "Your Majesty's intention is to gather an army in Zhuozhou to fight the Liao army?"

Guo Shao said solemnly: "The decisive battle is not easy, but once our army gathers a large army in Zhuozhou, it can pose a threat to the Liao army."

Everyone talked a lot.

Guo Shao settled down...This is a very subtle psychological warfare. When you are not sure what the other party wants to do, deploying active offensive and defensive deployments will feel the risk in your heart.

Wei Renpu and Zuo You looked at Guo Shao silent for a long time.

Guo Shao looks back and forth, his eyes are very bright because of his emotions: "If you are passive in every match, you will suffer as a whole. As long as you are strong and confident, sometimes you have to fight! I want to see what the Liao army can do. kind?!"

At this time, when Guo Shao looked outside the door, he was suddenly pierced by the sunlight reflected in the snow, but the two halls outside and the house looked a little gloomy.

The atmosphere solidified together like quiet snow.

Guo Shao was the emperor, but Wei Renpu ignored his usual respect, and asked again: "Have you ordered your majesty?"

Guo Shao looked at him sternly and nodded slightly.

Wei Renpu immediately said to an official around him: "Write military orders."

This kind of military order issued directly to the general was sent to Guo Shao after Wei Renpu used the military headquarters. Guo Shao calmed down, picked up the brush on the inkstone, dipped it, and carefully wrote "quasi performance" on several military orders.

I guess I haven't written a few words so seriously in my life!

After signing the military order, Guo Shao wrote a letter in his own hand to inform the generals of Zhulu of the detailed plan.

...Outside the city of Zhuozhou, the snow was filled with gunpowder. The Liao army attacked from all sides, and the Zhou army forbidden army also counterattacked the fortress occupied by the Liao army. The fighting did not stop for a moment.

Under the siege of heavy troops and siege weapons from both sides, the Tubao could not be defended by anyone. It was only a matter of time before it was taken. Han Tong’s various attacks were slow, and the perimeter could no longer support the general line of defense under the see-saw!

Han Tong had been standing on the tower for a long time. He looked east, and he was eager to see through the reinforcements. His eyes were bleeding, his lips were blackened by the cold air, and his left hand was holding the hilt tightly.

Below, a military commander was anxiously cursing: "How far is Gu'an from Zhuozhou? It's time to climb up, why haven't they come on horseback!"

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page) The generals can complain, but Han Tong can't. He stood there with a cold face. In my heart, I was arrogant: I really can't persist, there will be no danger in all retreating into Zhuozhou City. Tens of thousands of people defended the city, and the Liao army wanted to capture Zhuozhou City, and it was not a matter of ten and a half months! But as a result, his own tens of thousands of people played a small role in this war. As a general in an important part of the battle, Han Tong would never want to be marginalized.

…To the east, the four gates of Gu'an County opened, and a large number of horse-riding troops were dispatched from all sides. The long cavalry dragons from the north and west gates converged on the road to the west, forming a mighty group of people and horses, and the snow was dark.

The infantry on horseback in the other two gates marched straight to the south. The land and rivers were already frozen, and even scattered villages were hidden by snow. The army formed more than a dozen columns, and the blockbusters marched south.

With so many people marching together, they looked a little lonely, probably because there were no more people except the army. In this season and this situation, people will not go out casually.

...To the south, in Bazhou, where the palace camp is located, a neat line of infantry crossed the Juma River straight across the ice and snow and marched northward. There was a faint sound of horseshoes coming from the lower reaches of the river, and Dong Zunjiao's cavalry was also moving north.

The huge whiteness of the snow makes many things less conspicuous. The emperor stood on the tower and was no longer so noticeable. Guo Shao was wearing a fur coat given by the **** Wang Zhong, and he stood there and watched for some time.

Wang Zhong cautiously said next to him: "Although the sky is clear, it is colder when it is snowing than it is snowing."

"Yes." Guo Shao responded casually. The ancients relied on experience, and he understood the reason at once. Snow evaporates from a solid to water vapor in the sun. It absorbs heat, so the temperature is even lower.

Wang Zhong whispered again: "Your Majesty can breathe the dragon body."

Guo Shao didn't say a word, still watching the troops dispatched from far and near. Those men and horses looked a bit special from a distance, all of them were carrying large quilt packages. No matter how lightly packed they are in this kind of weather, they cannot ignore the warmth.

At this moment, he was just standing, but his heart was tighter than the bowstring!

It's not that you don't have to take risks after you have a lot...Because you are reluctant to bet, you will always be passive and unable to turn over!

But Guo Shao can bet such a big bet by himself ~ www.readwn.com~ is also at a certain level of power, otherwise even the emperor would not have the final say. In many times, the dynasty always adopted a passive and conservative strategy, that is, most people were not so courageous and no one could make big bets.

"Rumble..." The sound of horseshoes in the distance was like a muffled thunder from the sky. But when Guo Shao looked up, the blue sky was cloudless, even the wind was very small, and the world was peaceful.

Guo Shao repeatedly thought about the turmoil between the world and the earth, and his chances of winning were not small. It's just too important and the pressure is too great, so the moment the result is not announced will be panic!

This kind of life is really difficult, and when it passes, I will surely breathe a sigh of relief.

The Battle of Shouzhou, the Tokyo Mutiny... After many such experiences, Guo Shao would think that it was finally settled, and that he would never have to experience such a hardship again; unexpectedly, he would repeat it every time.

But if it can survive this time, there shouldn't be so much pressure again? Except for Liao, no one seems to be able to threaten himself anymore.
