Let’s put Shota and Loli aside for now, and turn to look at the Hanoi area.
What?
Just want to see Shota and Loli?
No, did you see that one crawling over?
The tense atmosphere in Heluo and Yuzhou has not completely affected Hanoi. In many places in Hanoi, it is still quiet and there is no atmosphere of imminent war.
The first governor of Hanoi was Wang Kuang, but when Wang Kuang came, he was defeated miserably by Dong Zhuo. Secondly, he was too utilitarian and even betrayed his relatives and friends in order to join Yuan Shao, which led to the Black Mountain Army fleeing from Taihang.
At that time, no one supported him, and his strength was greatly reduced. Later, he was easily eliminated by Cao Cao.
Now the governor of Hanoi, well, can't be regarded as a governor, but is somewhat like the model of Yingchuan. General Dian Nong Zhonglang, half army and half civilian, is stationed in Shanyang. The chief general is Yue Jin, and the partial general is Cao Zhen.
Hanoi was originally a county close to the capital of the Han Dynasty. Even though it suffered many blows under the war in the past few years, there are still many aristocratic families, such as Sima of Wen County...
Stationed in Wen County is Wang Tu, one of Le Jin's subordinates who has taken the post of military guard captain. Le Jin and Cao Zhen are stationed in the Shanyang Government Office.
People always like to be lazy and slack, and they will naturally relax if they are not careful. I don’t know whether it is because human nerves are somewhat defective and cannot adapt to high-intensity stressful environments, or because of the relaxation state due to energy consumption considerations.
Helps reduce losses...
Anyway, when I first heard that Fei had sneaked out of Hangu Pass, everyone in Hanoi was very nervous at first. After Xia Xiaopingjin was captured, it was like a roar of wind, the grass and trees were all covered with soldiers, and all the soldiers and generals were guarding them day and night, lest they be afraid of the hussars and horses.
Suddenly appeared under the city.
But after waiting for several days, and then several more days, no one was seen, and I heard that Cao Sikong had led his troops south and stationed them in Guandu. At the same time, there were deployments from the east and south, and there were three sides gathered under Luoyang.
The situation naturally relaxed a little. Apart from sending some scouts to conduct inquiries on a daily basis, they just went to do whatever they needed to do.
The weeds in the farmland need to be dealt with, the leaky houses need to be repaired, the cracked roads need to be smoothed, and all kinds of things have become busy, and many people have gradually forgotten about the hussars and horses in Heluo...
Even among the generals in the army, many people expressed cautious optimism. Some even said that General Hussar had lost his momentum and continued to hesitate in Luoyang, which was a sign of indecision.
There is a problem with the general's food and fodder, so he cannot move forward. Some people say that the hussar general is now rich and different from before. Naturally, he cannot ignore all the attacks. This battle may not be able to continue now.
Most of Cao's army was infantry, and the infantry's combat power basically relied on baggage and logistics. Just like in history, once the street pavilion was lost, Zhuge had to retreat. If the baggage and food could not be sent, the troops in front would not be able to
Fighting is basically the consensus of Cao's army. A large army fighting outside consumes an astonishing amount of supplies. In addition, most of Cao's army is recruited. After returning from the battle, there will inevitably be additional supplies and rewards.
Moreover, the more brutal the war, the heavier the rewards, so in fact, Cao Jun's economic pressure has always been great.
Taking advantage of others, Cao's army thought that the same was true for the hussars and horses. Either they had no money, they had no food, or some other reasons, they couldn't attack anyway, which was normal.
At least until the General Hussars’ logistical supplies can catch up, this battle can continue. But when will the supplies of the Hussars’ horses come? No one can say for sure, but most people’s consensus is that it’s not that
Come on, isn't it already April? The autumn harvest will be here in a few months, so we'll probably have to wait until after the autumn harvest.
If Wang Tu, the guard of Wen County, carefully checked his family's genealogy, it is impossible to say that his ancestors could be attributed to the Wang family of the Western Han Dynasty. However, Wang Tu would not be able to promote his noble bloodline every day like Liu Da'er.
, so now he is still a small guard captain.
In the Han Dynasty, the so-called Protector Commander, Grand Sima Protector and other official positions set up in the central court were basically permanent positions, and those with good character and rank could receive fixed salaries. However, among the so-called middle officers in the army,
Guards, Guards General, Guards Colonel, Guards Sima and other official positions with the word Guards are basically temporary military positions, subordinate to a certain general, and can be appointed and dispatched by the general at any time.
Wang Tu is such a temporary official position and may be eliminated at any time. It is like the deputy manager of a certain area in a company in later generations. Although he is in charge of work, he does not need to report to the superior department, so it is very smooth and convenient to replace.
Being a supervisor in one place is not that easy. The most important thing is to see whether there are performance indicators, uh, administrative requirements...
After Wang Tu took this position, he naturally wanted to turn his temporary official position into a permanent position with a long-term salary, so he was very careful about Wen County, especially the Sima family, a big name in Wen County.
, and even more attention.
Although in this era, it has become a common practice for aristocratic families to separate their bets among various forces, but it seems that the Sima family only has people in the Hussar area?
This is something worth being careful about.
As the chief guard of the city, it is indispensable to patrol the city four times a day. No matter the wind or rain, and no matter whether you stay up late at night, you must go out and walk around when the time comes, otherwise it will be recorded in the notebook.
After returning to Le Jin's hands, reprimands and punishments were inevitable.
So as dawn approached, Wang Tu had to get up, and then took his guards with him to start the first round of patrolling the city of the day.
At the foot of the city, there are still some supplies piled up, which have not been completely sent to the city wall. The civilians responsible for transporting the supplies are sleeping on the side. Wang Tu's guards want to step forward to remind these guys that Wang Tu
After looking at the time, he stopped the guards, bypassed the civilians, and walked towards the city wall.
These supplies were finally transported from Jizhou in the past two days, and these workers were sponsored by the big families in the city. No matter what aspect, it is not easy to lose too much. Instead of asking these workers to move in the dark, it is better to wait.
Let’s talk about daybreak, it won’t be short of this hour anyway…
As Wang Tu walked, he couldn't help but yawned so loudly that tears burst out of his eyes. He was wondering if he could go back to his den and take a nap after patrolling the city. This
For two days, I had to be busy with affairs in the city and have to establish relationships with local big names, which was quite energy-consuming.
Looking at the current situation, this battle will not be fought for a while, or it is not as important as before. First, take care of the government affairs and people's livelihood in the city. Otherwise, you will not be able to pay taxes when the autumn harvest comes, and your temporary situation will really be fulfilled.
It's temporary...
While Wang Tu was wandering around and thinking about it, the sky in the distance began to light up. Wang Tu, who was walking past the West City Gate, glanced at it inadvertently, then walked two steps and suddenly stopped, and immediately stared into the distance with his eyes wide open.
Looking...
This... this is definitely not my imagination!
In the vaguely discernible sky, groups of cavalry figures suddenly appeared in the distance!
These cavalry were not moving very fast, but they advanced slowly with a calm momentum, so that the sound of the horses' hooves was not very loud. It was not until now that Wang Tu heard the sound.
A shrill cry rang in Wang Tu's ears, and then he realized that it was his own roar: Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
…………
The hussars and horses went north along the Jishui River? Didn't they attack Wenxian County? Outside Wenxian County, in the Wubao of the Sima family's manor, Sima Fang asked with a little doubt, leaning on his crutches.
Reporting back to my father, this is indeed the case. Sima Lang replied.
Sima Fang had been to Bingbei for a while, but unfortunately his legs and feet had been inconvenient. According to later generations of medicine, it was rheumatism. It was a disease that was not easy to treat in later generations, let alone in the Han Dynasty, so he didn't stay long.
I had to go back to Wenxian County. After all, Wenxian County has a milder climate than Bingbei, and it is also more convenient.
As the eldest son, Sima Lang naturally had to act as the face of the Sima family when his father Sima Fang was inconvenient. However, what happened on this day made Sima Lang somewhat puzzled.
The hussars and horses came unexpectedly, and passed Wen County without fighting, but just went north along the Jishui River...
It's not that there are not enough hussar soldiers, or that the cavalry cannot attack the city. After all, in Wenxian County, in addition to Sima, there are also some people with big surnames from the surrounding areas. If they really want to fight, they might as well come to cater to them.
It's all possible, but the two groups before and after them, which totaled almost 2,000 people, just went northward in silence?
Of course, Wang Tu, the chief general in Wenxian County, did not dare to make any mistakes. He guarded the four gates carefully and fearfully. He simply did not have the courage to come out to fight, and he may not be afraid that he would not be able to go back once the city gates were opened.
Encountering such a situation, Wang Tu immediately sent someone to send a message to Le Jin in Shanyang. However, if he wanted to go out of the city to intercept the hussars, he might not be able to do it even if he had the courage to do so.
The Hussars are heading north to Jishui... Could it be that they are going back to Shangdang? Sima Lang frowned and said, if so, wouldn't it be... In my opinion, they are probably going to Jizhou?
Going north from Hanoi, one has to either take Taihang to return to Shangdang, or look northwest to Jizhou. However, after General Hussar attacked Luoyang, he returned to Shangdang in silence? Could it be that something happened within Shangdang?
What happened?
Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, based on his understanding of the Taiyuan area of Shangdang, Sima Fang does not think that there are any big changes and that General Hussar is needed to rush to Shangdang. After all, the Taiyuan area of Shangdang surrendered early.
The area of General Hussar was under the control of Jia and Cui, and with the cooperation of the local surnames, it was always smooth and stable. At the same time, the Yuan family in Jizhou was also defeated, and even the Xianbei people were said to have been cleaned up.
It does not threaten the Shangdang Taiyuan area.
Unless Cao Cao sent out a surprise army?
Sima and his son looked at each other and also ruled out this idea. If they divide their troops too little, it will be ineffective. If they divide their troops too much, Cao Cao will not be able to withstand it. Besides, Cao Cao now has to defend a large area from Jizhou to Yanzhou, and then from Yanzhou to Yuzhou.
Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if we divide our troops into different areas?
Then the only possibility left is that the Hussars are preparing to bypass Hanoi and attack Jizhou.
Have you seen the banner of his leading general? Sima Fang was moved in his heart and asked.
Sima Lang was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands and said, "Yes! We are definitely going to Jizhou! The leading general is Tai Shiye!"
Taishi Ci's unparalleled attack on Yecheng has become a battle example that has been discussed and debated by many military-loving nobles. Many people who like to talk about war on paper will argue with red faces and how to arrange the battle. Sima Lang naturally
He was also very familiar with it. When his father Sima Fang asked, he immediately responded.
Sima Fang nodded slightly, then shook his head, rubbed his crutch, and remained silent.
...Sima Lang looked at Sima Fang's expression and couldn't help but ask, Father...is there something fishy about this matter?
Sima Fang stroked his beard and said: You also know that the Hussar wants to attack Jizhou. How can others not know? How can they not take precautions?
This... Sima Lang moved his eyes and said, could it be that the Qiaoqi pretended to go north and still wanted to enter Yuzhou?
Sima Fang shook his head again, then pondered for a moment, and said: Ruo Mou's prediction is correct, this is the hussar general's strategy of imaginary and real... The imaginary is real, and the real is imaginary. Between the virtual and the real, there is no reason to change.
, it’s really awesome...
A false and true strategy? Sima Lang suddenly realized that if Cao Sikong didn't respond, this false move would become a true one. If he responded, it would become a false move... This, this is really... If you put it this way, it really suits Piao.
The habit of riding a general is placed on the chessboard anyway. Regardless of whether it is a response or a response, the opponent will be very uncomfortable.
Sima Fang couldn't help but sigh a little: It's easy to say, but extremely difficult to do... Only General Taishi can advance and retreat freely... There are so many generals in the world, but Qiusi has all the heroes under his command...
This is indeed the case. In the Han Dynasty, when there was no instant communication technology, the commanding generals in frontline operations became the most important core figures. Although the conversion between virtual and real seems to be just a few words, in actual combat, the leading generals need to be on the scene.
Judgment. If the lack of insight leads to the judgment of the opponent's actual moves becoming a fiction, or on the contrary, it may lead to the failure of the entire battle. However, Taishi Ci has the prestige of the previous Battle of Yecheng, so naturally no one can
No, I don't dare to underestimate Tai Shi Ci's leadership ability.
