Regarding the latest movements of the Wei army, although the officers and soldiers on the Heluo side were also panicked, the real people in charge were still able to calmly analyze and think about countermeasures, but the situation in Yedu was much more chaotic.
Although Yedu is not on the front line of the war, as the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there are already undercurrents surging due to the convergence of time and different people's hearts. In this sensitive and critical season, any slightest movement can make the people look at each other and become frightened. Such a big thing happened
Of course, things make people even more panicked.
When Duan Shao returned to Yedu, many ministers went out to Zimo in the west of the city to greet him, and repeatedly asked about the current enemy situation.
Duan Shao was careful and thoughtful by nature, and of course he would not talk about military plans in front of others. However, seeing that the people were worried, he comforted them and said: "The Qiang thieves did not dare to rush east because they knew that Heluo had heavily prepared troops and were afraid of becoming an enemy."
Jin, but ignored the traitor Sima Xiaonan.
The leader of the thieves, Li Boshan, wanted to save his dignity and avoid our troops, so he diverted to harass the border. Jinzhou also had heavy troops, and it was close to Jinyang.
It is because he is worried that he will lose his troops and generals, and his efforts will be in vain. Li Boshan's reckless advance is really short-sighted and should not be feared!"
When everyone heard what Duan Shao said, the fear in their hearts subsided slightly, but they still refused to dissipate. They also wanted to know how the court would respond and whether the Emperor's safety was safe when he moved to Jinyang.
But Duan Shao would not answer these questions lightly. After saying those words, he immediately entered the city with the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who came to greet him, and went straight to the Shangshu Province in the imperial city.
At this time, in the Zhitang Hall of the Ministry of Education, Changshan King Gaoyan, who stayed in Yedu, Changguang King Gao Zhan and other clan members, as well as Yang Min and other important ministers, were all sitting in the hall. When Duan Shaoxing came in, they hurriedly made room for him.
a location.
"I have said before that the Qiang thieves have no reason to rescue Sima from trouble. If we deploy heavy defenses in Heluo, they may divert their attacks elsewhere. However, during the discussion a few days ago, the participating people just stated that the defenses in Heyang
, I didn’t even think about it!”
Compared with other people who have solemn expressions, Gao Zhan's expression is more relaxed, and there is even a sense of smug showoff in his words.
It's just that his remarks with the benefit of hindsight did not receive a response from the crowd. Even Gao Yan, who had indeed heard this, ignored him. Instead, he looked at Duan Shao and asked quickly: "Brother Xiao, how is the situation in Heyang?"
?Is the morale of the army in danger? Can reinforcements be dispatched immediately?"
"The situation there is not bad. Although it is a bit surprising that the thieves are not waiting for them, the morale of the army has not been greatly disrupted. When the soldiers learned that the Qiang thieves were attacking Jinzhou, they were all worried and angry, and their morale was not enough. They only needed supplies.
If you have enough, you can always run to save someone else."
Duan Shao first opened his mouth to answer Gao Yan's question, and then sighed: "This mistake in responding to the enemy is indeed a miscalculation, but as long as Jinzhou can withstand the thieves' power and hold firm, until all rescues arrive, the crisis can still be solved."
Recovery. Although the first move is lost, the country's strength is still there. There is a supreme leader in Jinyang, so the crowd is calm and it is difficult for the thieves to advance. At this time, be especially careful not to act rashly, so as not to be defeated by the thieves. All armies will advance together to make the thieves
He was careless, and then he came back knowing the difficulty."
"Thanks to Brother Xiao's plan for this, I feel much more at ease. I was surprised at the cunningness of the Qiang thieves and had no plan. I even planned to send out divisions and brigade to rescue immediately. It turned out to be an unwise idea."
Hearing what Duan Shao said, Gao Yan said with some embarrassment that he himself was not good at military strategy. After learning that the thieves were attacking Jinzhou, his subconscious thought was to send troops for reinforcements, but he did not expect that this would be a bit embarrassing.
inappropriate.
After hearing the words, Duan Shao nodded again and said: "Now that I think about it, the Qiang thieves didn't care much about where Northern Yuzhou defected. The reason why they made such a big noise was just to confuse and tire me. Now when they invade Jinzhou, plundering the land should be the second priority.
, the main thing is to use this dangerous city to lure me to rescue, and then separate ways to send reinforcements. If our troops rush towards it in a hurry, it will be like throwing themselves into a trap, and they will be defeated separately while waiting for work."
Nowadays, a large number of Northern Qi's domestic troops are concentrated between Heyang and Heluo. Jinyang, which originally had a heavy concentration of troops, is slightly weaker due to the previous dispatch of troops. But fortunately, when Jinyang soldiers set off for Yedu and Heyang, Hebei and Heyang
The army recruitment around Jinyang is also going on at the same time. As Jinyang has been the military center of the Northern Qi Dynasty for a long time, the efficiency of army recruitment is also very high, and combat effectiveness can be formed quickly.
However, no matter how efficient Jinyang's army recruitment is, there will always be a certain time lag. Now that the Western Wei army has the initiative, if the reinforcements arrive one after another, the enemy can fight in front and behind with superior strength. In this case, it is better to march together to attack the enemy.
The pressure caused was huge.
"But……"
Although Duan Shao's words calmed everyone's mood, Yang Min soon frowned and said: "The current defense of Jinzhou is King Changle, I'm afraid it's difficult to do it in public."
Speaking of this, Yang Min frowned and looked at Gao Dezheng in the other seat. If he hadn't spoken out to defend Changle Wang Wecan before, he might have replaced him that time. Even if Hu Luguang hadn't been in Jinzhou
, any other general would be more reliable than Yu Can.
After everyone heard this, their relaxed mood suddenly became tense again. Yes, it is of course good for all parties to reinforce and work together, but the prerequisite is that Jinzhou City must be defended. What kind of virtue is this guy Wei Can? They
These clans and ministers were all familiar with it, and the chance of expecting this guy to be able to defend the city under the Wei army's attack was really slim.
At this moment, Changguang King Gao Zhan, who had been ignored, spoke again: "Even if Jinzhou loses, it doesn't matter. The reason why Jinzhou is important is that it can keep thieves away, but now that the thieves have arrived, Jinzhou will survive or not."
, it is difficult to stop its momentum. As King Pingyuan said, the gains and losses of Jinzhou should not be considered at the moment, the focus is on fighting the enemy.
At present, all the divisions and brigades are gathering in Jinyang. If Jinzhou survives, they can rush to rescue it. If Jinzhou is lost, they can stick to Jinyang and lure the thieves deep into the territory. Then I will intercept their army's retreat with Yedu troops and horses. With the cooperation of internal and external forces, the whole army will be defeated.
It may be possible to annihilate the enemy."
I won't say whether Gao Zhan's opinion is reasonable or not, but after hearing what he said, he immediately regarded the defenders such as Jinzhou and Yucan as abandoned sons, and even used Jinyang and the current emperor as bait. This pattern is not ordinary.
Therefore, after everyone heard this, they all tacitly agreed not to answer. If they really wanted to say something, they might be asked by someone with a knife on their neck, using the emperor as bait to lure the enemy.
Does it feel good to go deep?
Gao Yan still frowned and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. The location of Jinyang is the foundation of our country. The Supreme Lord personally came to guard it. How dare the Qiang thieves dare to commit a minor offense! However, most of the Bingzhou counties are the families of soldiers from the six states. If thieves sneak in,
It will definitely cause a lot of harm and must be stopped!"
After Duan Shao thought about it for a while, he said again: "The survival of Jinzhou must be considered. I would like to first lead the troops left behind in Yedu to go west to Fukou, and first occupy Wusu, Yining and other places.
City. Please your Majesty, please withdraw your troops to Heyang slowly from the capital city, and wait until the edict from Jinyang is received before making distribution arrangements!"
Wusu Road is an important passage connecting Jinzhou and Hebei, such as the Battle of Fukou in the old years when Er Zhurong quelled the mutiny in the six towns, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty when Hu Lujin led the Hebei troops to Jinzhou and followed Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan.
When the Battle of Yubi was launched, they all entered and exited through this route. The east exit of this passage is at Fukou, and Fukou is less than a hundred miles away from Yedu.
"If the army and troops leave, will the stability of the capital be lost?"
Hearing that Duan Shao wanted to lure away the men and horses currently stationed in Yedu, Shangshu's right servant shot Cui Xian and couldn't help but said. There were not many soldiers and horses in Yedu to begin with, but after the 20,000 forbidden troops sent to Heyang left, there were also
A group of troops went from the emperor to Jinyang. Now, excluding the 20,000 divisions and brigades newly arrived from Jinyang, the number of troops inside and outside the capital is less than 30,000.
If Duan Shao lures away another 20,000 Jinyang soldiers, Yedu's defensive strength will be even weaker. If there is any trouble, it may be difficult to maintain internal and external security.
After pondering for a while, Gao Yan still said: "The situation in the west is more dangerous at the moment. There has been nothing happening around the capital recently. The troops and horses stationed here are just resting. They can follow Wang Xi to the west. Besides, the Heyang brigade will be evacuated soon.
Return to the country to supplement the defense of the capital."
Hearing what Gao Yan said, all the ministers shut up even if they were worried. Although Yedu is the capital of their Northern Qi Dynasty, their military situation is like that of a stepmother. There are many famous generals who are currently in charge of the military.
They all put the stability of Jinyang first, and they can abandon Yedu when necessary.
Even though Cui Xian and others were worried about the safety of Yedu, they only dared to give a brief reminder in the hope of attracting attention, but there was nothing they could do if they were not taken seriously. If they really tried to fight for it, they might be treated rudely.
After the preliminary plan, Duan Shao did not stay in the city overnight, but immediately went to the military camp outside the city with King Changshan's military order. After gathering the soldiers, he went straight to Fukou in the northwest that afternoon.
After Duan Shao led his army to leave, the city was not idle. Gao Yan not only sent orders to the states to transport another batch of grain and grass supplies to Yedu, but also issued military orders to Heyang to withdraw in batches.
After Gao Zhan waited for everyone else to leave the hall, he approached Gao Yan and whispered: "Sixth brother, the Qiang bandit's use of troops is unexpected. I have said it before. But what you see now may not be all of his tricks.
You have to be careful and there are back-ups.
Although the King of Pingyuan is a rare brave choice among his relatives, if he fights with the Qiang thieves, he may not dare to promise victory. Once the King of Pingyuan is defeated and the thieves come out of Fukou, Ye's subordinates will be in danger. At that time, the hearts of the people in the city will be unstable.
What a disaster!"
Gao Yan also frowned after hearing this, looked up at Gao Zhan and said in a deep voice: "Then what do you have on this?"
"Yang Min, Cui Siam and others rely on their good names and clans, but they may not be loyal to their country in times of crisis. These Han ministers with unpredictable intentions should be monitored by soldiers and horses, and they are not allowed to gather casually or go out easily!"
After hearing this, Gao Yan nodded after weighing it, and then said: "I will leave the matter to you, but your attitude should be gentler and your intentions should not be too exposed!"
"Brother, don't worry. I understand the importance of things and won't be too rough and force people to leave."
Although Gao Zhan sometimes behaves inappropriately, he is also very smart and smart. He nodded after hearing Gao Yan's explanation.
I'm not feeling well today. I went to the hospital for most of the day, so I'll update a chapter first. I'll write more tomorrow if I feel better. I'm sorry. I wish you all good health and a happy life!!!
