Chapter 1748 Bai Qi defeated Chi You, Han Xin defeated Xuanyuan
Han Xin is also a new generation of talents in the north who has become famous in recent years. He has also fought quite well in the past few battles. For such a person, Yue Fei does not believe that the other party cannot see this.
And if all the soldiers and horses in northern Jing could not be annihilated, even if these princes really captured the land of Jing and Xiang, it cannot be said that the Jin army did not suffer losses, but it would never be to the extent of breaking their muscles and bones.
After all, before this battle began, the Jin army was already prepared to lose the land of Jingxiang.
And if the opponent takes over the Jingxiang land, what will be the next step?
At least Yue Fei didn't think that these princes would directly support Bashu. Considering the financial situation of the Jin army, millions of farmers were mobilized to provide logistics for this battle. Coupled with the roads in Shu, we can see the pressure of logistics.
Among the princes in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang may make this choice. Going from the Yangtze River will have much less logistical pressure. But the princes of the Central Plains can forget it. They are gritting their teeth and starting this battle. They are not qualified to bear this kind of logistical pressure.
As for the northern princes, considering the long journey to make up for it, Yue Fei didn't think the other party would make such a choice.
Even for the Jin army, the grain collection actually started from Si Yong's land, and then allocated grain and grass from Hezhou to Si Yong's land, using this logistics model of layer by layer grain adjustment.
But if the northern princes really wanted to enter Shu directly, they would have to transport grain from the north of the Yellow River all the way to Bashu. With such a long supply line, after the grain and grass arrive, I am afraid that almost all of it will be consumed along the way, and there will be nothing left.
Just dropped a few.
Therefore, in Yue Fei's vision, if the opponent takes the land of Jingxiang, the next step will definitely not be to directly reinforce Liu Che in Bashu. I am afraid that he will still have to attack the Jin army, and that can only be the Siyong two states.
.
After arriving in Nanyang, although Chi You was prepared to use them as cannon fodder, even if they were used as cannon fodder, they would not be able to lose too much at once. If too many people died at once, it would cause various subsequent problems.
As far as Sizhou is concerned, this is the base camp level for the Jin army, so it is naturally the top priority.
But it was only with the help of such a high-ranking and powerful lieutenant that we could expel the opponent at the minimum cost during this sneak attack.
As far as Yongzhou is concerned, this is the emptiest time, so it is relatively easier to fight. Moreover, after Yongzhou is captured, whether it is to attack Sizhou from the east, or to interfere with Xizhou and Liangzhou from the west, there will be
It is quite possible that the entire Jin army will collapse.
There wasn't much else on this battlefield except corpses. Besides, there were still so many victims behind Chi You, so he just gritted his teeth and consumed a few.
But at this time, the problem arises again. Since the other party has not eliminated Yue Fei's main force, after his Yue Fei's troops enter the Siyong Second Prefecture, how can the other party dare to play this kind of game with the help of those powerful passes that have been dominant for hundreds of years?
Operational?
Therefore, Yue Fei really doesn't think that Han Xin will set his target on Nanyang! If he targets Nanyang, if he doesn't do it right, those princes will only gain temporary benefits, and they will also deceive themselves in the long run.
Otherwise, even though Chi You is already prepared, Chi You's sneak attack will most likely not be successful, but the price paid by the Jin army will definitely not be small. And at this time, any force will not be able to succeed.
They are extremely precious to the Jin army.
If these people hadn't come like locusts crossing the border and looted the two cities, Chi You might have collapsed in a few days.
Therefore, after Yue Fei figured this out, he immediately sent a message to Nanyang and Xie An, who was facing Cao Cao, telling them first that they must be alert to the enemy's troop mobilization.
Even with Bai Qi backing him up, Mo Yuan, who had just arrived, would not be able to serve as a general in such an important place as Wuguan, so he could only be a deputy general.
At the same time, a message was sent to the guards at Wuguan, Yique, Dugu, and Xuanyuan, reminding them to be more vigilant and not to relax in the slightest.
As for counselors like Fan Li, let’s say they have the world at heart. Many people do have the world at heart most of the time, and they truly have the world at heart. But when it comes to making plans, they are the most ruthless people in the world. Some of them are the most ruthless people in the world.
In more extreme cases, even cruel methods can be used.
Even, in some cases, human life is actually just a series of numbers in their eyes!
Of course, Fan Li already had a solution to the existing food crisis. Moreover, even Cao Cao gave Chi You a hint.
Although organizing these people into an army greatly relieved the pressure on the victims in the rear, even after they were organized, they still needed food and grass from him.
And if it wasn't Nanyang, the first thing Yue Fei thought of was Sizhou, or Wuguan, the gate of Yongzhou.
Lao Cao had never used this method before, so it was natural for him to hint it to Chi You.
It was precisely because of Yue Fei's reminder that Chi You personally led 10,000 elites to sneak attack Wuguan and finally failed!
Chi You also had Han Xin's Youyan Jingqi, so he dared to go deep into the front line of Wuguan. Without Han Xin's Youyan Jingqi, Yue Fei could use his cavalry to cut off Chi You's retreat at any time without giving the Central Plains princes a chance to react.
In fact, Chi You's operation failed this time. In addition to Yue Fei's reminder, Bai Qi also played an important role after he returned to Yongzhou and asked his friend Mo Yuan to be born and arranged for him to be a deputy general in Wuguan.
However, even though the sneak attack failed, Chi You did not give up on attacking Wuguan and pulled over all the Yellow Turban troops who were about to starve to death.
As for Chi You, he was not of the same style as Cao Cao after all! Although he accepted this strategy under duress, he also resisted this strategy from the bottom of his heart!
Therefore, when the sneak attack on Wuguan failed, Chi You simply pulled all these troops over. Yongzhou is a well-known grain-producing area in the world. As long as Wuguan can be broken, the food of these starving ghosts who have been organized into an army will be
All problems will be solved, even the problems on the home front can be solved.
Bai Qi, who was originally stationed in Chang'an, was forced to come to the Wuguan front line.
However, Bai Qi discovered the problem within a few days after arriving here. Although he could not be absolutely sure, he was at least six or even seven levels sure that the opponent's real target was not Wuguan, but in Sizhou.
Because, from beginning to end, except for the 10,000 people Chi You brought with him at the beginning, the rest were all starving ghosts who were not even counted as miscellaneous troops.
The opponent's elite troops have always been hidden like this, which is enough to make people like Bai Qi suspicious! But to attack Wuguan or even an important place like Yongzhou, it is possible to rely on these starving ghosts who are not even a miscellaneous army.
How much they underestimate Bai Qi! How much they underestimate the Jin army!
