Heyang refers to the north bank of the river, and as a geographical term, it usually refers to the three military cities located north of Luoyang and across the Yellow River.
These three military cities are Beizhong City located on the north bank of the Yellow River, Zhongli City on the sandbank in the middle of the river, and Nancheng located on the south bank. These three military cities are collectively referred to as the Three Cities of Heyang.
Among the three cities, the North and Central City were built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, while the central and southern cities were both built in the Eastern Wei Dynasty to cope with the confrontation between the east and the west. Moreover, the city on the north bank was also expanded during the same period. The three cities are connected by river bridges.
Connected, they formed an offensive and defensive front across the river.
Because of the existence of the three cities of Heyang, even if the Western Wei Dynasty occupied the Heluo area, it would not be considered stable, because the armies of the Eastern Wei Dynasty could continue to fight from the south along the three cities of Heyang at any time. If the Western Wei Dynasty wanted to base itself on Heluo and then set foot in Hebei
, Heyang is also a must-pass road. The Eastern Wei army only needs to guard here to stop the Western Wei army from advancing north.
Therefore, the importance of Heyang to the Eastern Wei Dynasty was no less important than that of the Jade Bi to the Western Wei Dynasty. It was even more important to the Yedu court. As Gao Huan's iron CP, Yuwentai could think of seizing the opportunity in such a context.
Heyang really gives people an unexpected yet reasonable feeling.
But the problem is that if the Western Wei Dynasty takes Heyang as the target of attack, it is very likely that it will make the same mistake as Gao Huan. No, it will definitely be worse than Gao Huan.
Gao Huan lost to Yubi because Wei Xiaokuan who defended Yubi City was awesome, but it does not mean that the Western Wei Dynasty as a whole was awesome.
Now, although the Western Wei Dynasty has initially completed the integration of Chinese and foreign armies, its strength can only be said to have improved compared to the tragic situation just after the Battle of Mangshan. How much has it recovered? Is it more than it was or is it still not as good as before the Battle of Mangshan?
Strength is still unknown.
The strategic significance of Heyang lies not only in its majestic geographical location that guards the river, but also in the steady stream of Eastern Wei troops behind it.
This place is one of the key points of national defense of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Not to mention how many troops are stationed at the moment, even if the Western Wei Dynasty's surprise troops attack and capture it, it will definitely cause the Eastern Wei Dynasty to be shocked and rush for reinforcements.
At that time, the real enemy of the Eastern Wei regime was no longer Hou Jing who was causing trouble in Henan, but the Western Wei who had emerged in Heyang. Of course, the whole country needed to attack it when it was about to survive or die!
There are still three thousand nails in the broken ship, not to mention that the Eastern Wei Dynasty is far from being a broken ship. Even if we don’t talk about the Yedu court, the power of the Jinyang Bafu alone cannot be underestimated.
Of course, from an optimistic point of view, the Jinyang Bafu army has been newly defeated, and Gao Huan does not know whether he is alive or dead. If he encounters a veteran general like Hou Jing who cannot be defeated, Gao Cheng will surely be shaken even more.
The authority of the person who dominates the government.
Now the imperial army from Yedu has been mobilized south to quell Hou Jing's rebellion, and the only thing Heyang can rely on is the reinforcements from Jinyang. However, the Jinyang soldiers are newly defeated Ju divisions, and even Jinyang has been severely robbed and war-torn.
Are these soldiers willing to rush to aid Heyang? Even if they come to aid, how much morale will they have?
On the other hand, here in the Western Wei Dynasty, after years of hard work and hard work in Daxingtai, Chinese and foreign armies were ready, and millions of stones of resources were gathered with just one order from the Overlord, which shows that the war potential is huge and the hearts of the people can be used!
The situation between the enemy and ourselves is clearly different. If under such circumstances you still dare not set a grand strategic goal and give it a try, then it would be really disappointing.
After Yu Wentai put forward this strategic idea, he looked around the people in the hall with a smile. The look on his face was a bit elated or something else. When Hou Jing came to the capital a few days ago, he only showed some intention of entering Heluo again.
The generals had already been admonished by the generals, but they showed little enthusiasm for it.
But now more than two months have passed. After holding back for so long, the Eastern Dynasty only sent a team of troops from Yedu to the south to quell the rebellion. However, Jinyang Bafu did not take any substantive action. First of all, it verified the fact that Gao Huan died.
, and secondly, his successor Gao Cheng simply couldn’t take the plate.
Under this current situation, Yu Wentai also wanted to hear if the generals were unwilling to agree with this plan, what new reasons did they have to oppose it.
He raised his hand and pointed at Li Tai, who was on the mat, and immediately said with a smile: "Li Shizhong's prelude has gathered more than three million stones of food and supplies in the palace, which is enough to support the annual consumption of a huge army. Now the thieves may have died because of the death of the high thieves."
The sentiments of the mourning soldiers are united, but Hou Jing's rebellion is a problem for them. The people are frightened and suspicious, and everyone is not at ease, fearing that they will not be able to work together and have difficulty. Perhaps it is said that Hou Jing is a cunning and cunning person, who is repeatedly changeable, but the six squares of Yecheng
There are many stubborn people, and it is difficult to win or lose in a short period of time..."
Yu Wentai not only talked about his current superior and calm situation, but also listed the words that the generals might give to advise him. But it would be better not to mention these, but this list shows that he is a bit too optimistic about the current situation.
Apart from anything else, how come the Eastern Wei Dynasty is not considered a mourning soldier? Even though Hou Jing was outside making noise, when you took over He Ba Yue's class, not everyone recognized you wholeheartedly.
As for the judgment that Hou Jing may have been entangled with the counter-rebellion forces from the south of Yedu for a long time, there is even less evidence. The combat effectiveness of the Central Forbidden Army in the Northern Wei Dynasty has been weakened for a long time. Even after it disintegrated and became the Eastern Wei and Western Wei, this situation is still
If we don't reverse the changes, otherwise it will be your turn to make trouble like the police?
However, the generals did not have time to think of so many things for a while. When they heard that so much money had been raised, they subconsciously looked at Li Tai for proof.
After seeing Li Tai nodding his head to confirm, many people were already happy. Several Hui and others stood up and crossed their hands to invite the battle. However, Li Bi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, was still sitting quietly in the west. He was not in a hurry to express his position and just looked towards
Yu Jin, who had been in the hall before.
Not only Li Bi, but also Li Tai was also observing Yu Jin's expression and reaction. The more confusing and changeable the situation, the more it tests a person's imagination. Of course, this so-called imagination is not completely unfounded.
Hi, it’s the ability to sort out various clues and information and extend them.
Li Tai, a bad guy, had some foresight of the direction of the subsequent events. Although some places had changed under his influence, the general direction could still be predicted. Therefore, the idea proposed for Daxingtai had his own
judgmental.
But he also really wanted to hear Yu Jin's views and analysis on this matter, and see how this top military and political talent judged the situation.
After several other generals finished speaking, Yu Jin stood up, but before responding to Daxingtai, he first looked at Li Tai and said seriously: "Excuse me, Li Shangshu, can you confirm that more than three million stones?"
Can the full amount of supplies be put into the warehouse in mid-May?"
After hearing this, Li Tai nodded in agreement. In addition to the grains that had been delivered to the local government for transportation, most of the other grains were also in his own granaries scattered around the country. Even if the transportation capacity of the state and county was lost, there were other ways to remedy the situation. Of course, he could be sure
.
After receiving Li Tai's affirmative reply, Yu Jin's expression became lively and joyful. He turned to the grand platform in the hall and saluted: "I congratulate you, Your Majesty. Since I was appointed, everyone in the mansion has taken it as their duty to support the general government. They have worked hard again and again, without fear.
After a fierce battle, the giant invaders were finally captured by heaven, and if they can continue to rise, if they can seize Heyang and enter Hebei, wipe out the puppet dynasty, and defeat Jinyang, this achievement will be unique in the world!"
When Yu Wentai heard Yu Jin's excited words, he sat upright with some excitement and said quickly: "The general also thinks that now is a good time to make progress?"
After hearing the words, Yu Jin nodded heavily and said: "If the situation in the world continues to develop according to this, the thieves will become more chaotic and I will become stronger, I really can't think of any reason to hold back! Now we can gather the troops from all directions in the camp and wait for everyone.
After all the grain and fodder are put into the warehouse, they can be sent to the troops, and they can leave for Shaanxi at the end of May..."
Li Tai originally thought that Yu Jin would have some unique ideas and thoughts, but when he first heard what he said, he was a little blindly optimistic. He was a little disappointed at first, but after listening to it, he felt that something was wrong.
Although what he said was in favor of sending troops from Taiwan to Heyang, he deliberately made the time and rhythm of sending troops very clear. Perhaps it can be said that his actions were specific, but some time points coincided with some subsequent changes in the situation.
time.
Of course Yu Jin had no prophetic ability, but Li Tai listened carefully and could tell that he meant to delay.
People who are too blindly optimistic are often due to insufficient information reception, irrational amplification of the good side and deliberately ignoring some bad variables. This is Yuwentai's current state. The last time he suffered from this symptom
At that time, it was still the eve of the Battle of Mangshan.
Yu Jin may not be fully aware of the aftermath, but he is certain that as time goes by, many new changes will inevitably occur in Henan. With these new changes, he will have a clearer understanding of the situation and make fewer mistakes.
As for directly denying the idea of Dahangtai attacking Heyang, let alone whether we can come up with persuasive arguments, even if we can win with theory, but leaving aside the reason, it is equivalent to pointing at Yuwentai’s nose and saying you
Not even as good as Gao Huan’s son!
"But if we arrange personnel in such a step-by-step manner, it will take nearly two months at the earliest until all the troops and horses are gathered before going out. It is better to make simple arrangements and send a surprise army to the east..."
After Yu Jin finished speaking, another general couldn't help but speak.
Without waiting for Yu Jin's answer, Li Bi spoke first: "The great righteousness is the trend, the general trend is the direction, the victory or defeat will be decided by a sudden change? In the old days, the battle of Mangshan was a mistake and the advance was rash. Now that the traitorous situation has collapsed, it is better to plan and act calmly."
send troops."
Speaking of the Battle of Mangshan, Yu Wentai's heart trembled, and he nodded repeatedly: "It's exactly what Lieutenant Li said, plan before taking action, send troops calmly, and don't advance rashly."
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. The lesson of the Battle of Mangshan is much more painful than being bitten by a snake, and the time is far less than ten years. To the generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, mentioning this matter is like thirty-nine days.
With a bucket of ice water in your pocket, you need to calm down no matter how excited you are.
