Meng Longfu frowned and looked at the east-west river south of Linqu City. He pointed with his hand: "After passing Daxian, if you want to establish a foothold in Linqu, the water source is the first priority. Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty at that time,
During the Northern Expedition, Ma Di was sent to guard the street pavilion, but it was finally defeated by the Wei army. This was because Ma Di did not understand the art of war and used it mechanically. He thought he could attack from a high place, so he led his army up the mountain, but was cut off by the enemy's water source and was ultimately defeated. This shows that
For the army, regardless of the victory or defeat on the battlefield, at least if it wants to remain invincible, it must first ensure that there are no problems with water sources and food routes. Then, after leaving Daxian Mountain, the entire army is approaching Linqu.
The first task is to seize the water source in the south of Linqu City---this is the Jumi Water!"
Liu Zhong nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. Linqu City is a big city on the plains, but the only big river in the south of the city is this giant river. The Northern Expedition army has 50,000 to 60,000 people. The daily water consumption must be in the big river. In the big river
There is abundant water in Xian Mountain, so these are not problems, but after leaving the mountain, there is only one big river south of Linqu City. If the Yan army blocks the water for camp, or simply pollutes the water source and poisons it, then our army will be short of water.
We are in a very unfavorable situation. If Murong Chao dares to fight us in Linqu, he will definitely control the water source first."
Quin blinked his only remaining eye: "But, couldn't they have set up camp at Jumi Water in advance? Why did they wait until our army arrived before occupying it?"
Zhu Lingshi smiled and said: "Because the commander-in-chief has analyzed it before. Murong Chao's purpose is not to simply defeat or stop us. Otherwise, he would simply defend Mulingguan with heavy troops, and even send troops out of Daxian to attack the Yishui area in Shannan Prefecture County.
Wouldn't it be better to just block the water and build a camp? Let us enter Linqu and attack again just to eat us in one fell swoop. If we seize the water source early, we will not easily enter the army. We will set up camp in the northern area of Daxian Mountain and advance slowly.
This is not in line with his purpose, to lure us to Linqu, then cut off water and food, wait for work, wait a few days when our army's morale declines and we are short of water and food, and then wipe it out in one fell swoop. This is his plan, so he will wait until I
When the whole army is in a hurry to leave Linqu, they will block the water."
Quin suddenly realized: "Grandma, this guy has a lot of vicious tricks."
Liu Yu sighed: "I thought of the last time Ah Shou and the others sent troops to Western Shu. The Shu army, which has always been ignorant of soldiers, also used similar tactics. They first lured our army to go deep, and then sent out yellow tigers to block the water and form a camp. Our army
They were unable to advance, and the strong attack was fruitless. In the end, the plague was prevalent in the hot summer. It was even possible that the epidemic was caused by the enemy poisoning the water source. In the end, they could only retreat in confusion. This time there were conspirators like Heipao.
On the opposite side, I think they are likely to use the same tactics, so being one step ahead of the enemy and seizing the water source is the top priority. Raptor, if Ashou can quickly capture Muling Pass, I need you to bring two
Thousands of Qingqi, marching under starry night, directly to the Jumi River. No matter what, we cannot let the Yan army camp or poison the water. You are now the best cavalry commander here. Can you complete this task?"
Meng Longfu laughed: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Don't worry, Commander, the Raptors will fulfill their mission. As long as I am here, there will never be any problem with the army's water source!"
Liu Yu nodded, took out a command arrow from the command arrow box on the side, and handed it to Meng Longfu: "Donghai County Governor, Jianwei General Meng Longfu, now you will be promoted to Chariot and Cavalry General to join the army, and add Longxiang."
General, lead two thousand of our Beifu cavalry, set off within two days, and must arrive at Muling Pass within five days. If Liu Jingxuan and others succeed, you can quickly pass through Daxian Mountain, directly take the Jumi River, and go all the way.
We are not allowed to fight. If we encounter a large group of enemy cavalry, we will disperse as guerrillas. We have only one goal: to prevent the Yan army from controlling Suwon or poisoning the water!"
At this point, Liu Yu paused: "One more thing is to let all the Yan State soldiers and civilians in Lunan know that Liu Yu is here to avenge our Jin Dynasty and kill our soldiers and civilians! Those who offended our Jin Dynasty
, I will kill you even if you are far away, I, Liu Yu, will do what I say!"
Meng Longfu's eyes flashed with excitement, he stepped forward to take the order arrow, and said in a deep voice: "I have the order!"
Liu Yu looked back at Liu Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhong, when the time comes, you will bring all the cavalry under Zhuge Limin, plus the two hundred Chinese cavalry you brought with you when you set out this time.
Let's act together. Be careful, if the Yan army's cavalry comes to fight, don't fight forcefully, it's just guerrilla action. As long as we delay it for three to four days, our army will definitely arrive!"
Liu Zhong smiled and said: "I will obey the commander-in-chief's military orders."
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the generals around him: "Everyone, go back and prepare immediately. The navy fleet here has been prepared. Our 20,000-strong army here will board the ship and set off within two days, and will meet up with the Pengcheng area within seven days.
The former army has arrived at Daxian Pass. Within ten days, I will take everyone to the land of Qingzhou. This time, I will not return home until I see the Yellow River and break Nanyan!"
Everyone pressed their fists against their chests and promised in unison: "I will never return home until I break Nan Yan!"
Outside Guangling City, next to the Hangou, on a hill, a figure wrapped in a cloak, with a lifeless bronze mask on his face, looked at the Hangou, where thousands of sailboats were racing, on both sides of the bank.
Amidst the tsunami-like cheers of the taxis, the fleet heading north was flanked by the fast-moving infantrymen on both sides of the river, stretching for dozens of miles, all the way to the north. With a gleam in their eyes, they said coldly: "
It’s really a serious Northern Expedition.”
Tao Yuanming wore a green shirt with a smile on his face: "But, does Liu Yu really think that with just these tens of thousands of infantry, he can destroy Nan Yan who has hundreds of thousands of troops? I just came from there, and I have no idea about Nan Yan's
The strength is very clear. They have more cavalry than Liu Yu's entire army. How can we fight this? Compared with infantry and cavalry, which one is better and which one is worse is even clear to me. Could it be that Liu Yu doesn't know?"
Doupengke said softly "Oh": "What do you mean?"
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "I think it was because Liu Yu had boasted in the past that Jiangbei was worry-free because of his presence, but this time he gave Nan Yan a very ugly beating. Coupled with the rumors I secretly spread, the whole Jiangbei was shaken.
, it can be said that he has broken his trust with the immigrants from Jiangbei. If he does not make a tough stance and leads the army to the Northern Expedition to show off, then even Jiangbei will not be able to control it in the future. Nanyan robbed him once, and he turned around and beat Daxian Shannan.
The prefectures and counties retaliate, and after regaining face, they can then make peace with Murong Chao through Murong Lan. Anyway, Nan Yan's action this time is also Murong Chao's move to consolidate power and establish his prestige. In the end, the two sides made deals with each other.
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone gives in and everyone gets what they need?"
