Chapter 1340: Dukes and Lords for All Generations (Supplement)
Shen Yi's Chinese army is now stationed in Shulu County, which includes his army staff and a guard camp of about 3,000 people.
The number of his guard camp was originally 5,000. These 5,000 people were taken away by Zhou Huai and established a partial division. Later, Zhu Zhen reorganized the guard camp, but the number was not as large as before.
Until now, the number of people has actually not reached 3,000.
Because Zhu Zhen and others arrived in Shulu in advance, they had already rented a garden in the city as Shen Yi's office. After Shen Yi and others entered the city, they entered the garden directly.
After sitting down in the main hall, Su Ding sat under him, lowered his head slightly and said: "Mr. Shen, in the past month, there has been constant fighting at General Ling's place. From time to time, Nuo Yong forced him to retreat, and then he found opportunities to fight back. During this period, The last general corresponds with him from time to time, in accordance with General Ling's wishes."
"Nuo Yong's troops currently have more than 150,000 troops, and General Ling's right army can hold at least 100,000 troops."
Su Ding said in a deep voice: "While General Mo was in Hejian, the Left Route Army had been well rested and reorganized. To the north of the Left Route Army, there were only tens of thousands of Qi troops. Although the Southern Expeditionary Army in Cangzhou was also following The generals fought a few battles, but it can be seen that their fighting spirit is not high."
He stretched his head and lowered his head and said, "I'm here now. Firstly, I'm here to pay homage to Duke Shen. Secondly, I want to ask Duke Shen for a fight."
Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea and asked, "How do you want to fight?"
"Separate 20,000 elite troops and march directly north from Hejian to Tianjin."
"At the same time, the rest of the troops will keep an eye on the Qi Army and the Southern Expedition Army in Cangzhou on the flank."
Su Ding whispered: "As long as my 20,000 elite troops successfully arrive in Tianjin and attack with General Liu's navy on both land and water, I believe we will soon be able to occupy Tianjin Port. By then, after we have established a firm foothold in Tianjin, my army will be in the north." , we immediately had a solid stronghold.”
"At that time, both Zhou Shizhong and Nuo Yong will have trouble sleeping because there are tens of thousands of our troops behind them."
Shen Yi put down the tea, looked at Su Ding, and shook his head slightly: "It's too rash."
Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and said softly: "Hejian is only about 360 miles away from Tianjin. With your 20,000 elite troops standing out, it will not be difficult to reach Tianjin. Even together with Liu Mingyuan, it may not be a big deal to defeat the three guards of Tianjin." It is difficult, but if you want to occupy Tianjin just like that, it will be extremely difficult."
"Because you only want to keep an eye on Zhou Shizhong's Southern Conquest Army, and you can only keep an eye on this one army."
"But the Northern Qi Dynasty has more than the Zhou family and his son. Tianjin Port is too close to the capital of Yan, and it is in the most critical position of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The reason why my navy was able to rush over unharmed is because the Northern Qi Dynasty lacks ships, and you are Twenty thousand people rushed in..."
"Not to mention how much it will cost you to eat the three guards of Tianjin. Even if you eat the three guards of Tianjin, Nuo Yong will definitely divide his troops to support Tianjin without hesitation. The Imperial Army near Yandu in the Northern Qi Dynasty will also quickly support Tianjin. You It is easy for these 20,000 people to leave, but it is difficult to get out."
Su Ding looked serious: "Mr. Shen, I have finally thought about this. General Ling's troops can guard Nuoyong's approximately 100,000 people. Even if they return to the division, they will not be able to bring back too many people. The main force of our left route army will not be able to return." You can take the opportunity to go north and fight a big battle near Yandu with Liu Mingyuan and Zhou Huai's troops!"
"As long as we win this big battle, the rest will be the end!"
Shen Yi rubbed his eyebrows.
"According to General Su's wishes, this decisive battle between the two countries."
He stretched out his fingers to calculate, and then said: "I guess the fight will start in April or May."
"yes."
Shen Yi thought about it carefully and shook his head: "Too impatient."
"If we fight like this, there will be too many unpredictable risks, for example..."
"Whether the Conquest Army will move or not."
Shen Yi said slowly: "If all our Left Route Army moves to the vicinity of Yandu, Cangzhou's Southern Expedition Army will fall behind the Left Route Army. If the Zhou family and his son remain still, General Su's decisive battle should be able to proceed very quickly. Smoothly, once they get moving..."
"The Southern Conquest Army is our old friend. General Su is very aware of their combat effectiveness. Today's Southern Conquest Army may only have 50,000 or 60,000 people in total, but in a real fight, it won't be a problem to hold back the main force of the Left Army. ."
"Zhou Huai's 10,000 or 20,000 people can't stand them at all."
"Once the main force of the left army is immobilized, the 20,000 elite troops heading north and Liu Mingyuan's navy may be surrounded and eaten."
Mr. Shen knocked on the table: "The risk is too great."
Su Ding thought for a while, then lowered his head and took a deep breath: "Yes, I don't think about it anymore."
Shen Yi looked at him and asked: "Given General Su's character, this is probably not your idea alone. It should have been discussed with General Ling through correspondence?"
"Yes, but mainly because I had communication with General Liu Mingyuan."
Su Ding smiled bitterly and said: "The Dengzhou Navy is fighting happily in Tianjin Port, but it can't get ashore. General Liu has sent letters to General Liu several times, hoping that General Liu can send troops north to help them eat the three guards of Tianjin."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "He is too impatient. I sent him to Tianjin Port with no intention of killing the three Tianjin guards. It is enough if he can hold off the three Tianjin guards and use artillery to smash the Tianjin port. "
Mr. Shen said calmly: "The artillery of Tianjin Port not only fell on the port of Tianjin, but also fell on the hearts of people in Northern Qi. The cannonballs that landed on people's hearts were sometimes more powerful than those that hit their bodies."
Su Ding was thoughtful, nodded and asked: "Mr. Shen, what do you think the left route army should do next?"
"You can cooperate more with Ling Su and attack Nuo Yong's troops."
Shen Yi said sternly: "Our Northern Expedition this time is a mighty sweep by the might of God. Don't always think about using surprise troops to win. The surprise troops can only be used as support."
"As long as Nuoyong is defeated on the frontal battlefield, the rest of the Northern Qi armies will be destroyed without attack."
Su Ding lowered his head: "General, I understand."
"And one more thing."
Shen Yi smiled at Su Ding and said: "From now on, our Huai'an army's central army, that is, my commander, will not move again easily. For the time being, it is here in Shulu County. What documents are there? , just send it here directly.”
"In the future, if there are any changes to my Chinese military account, I will notify all the armies in advance."
Last year, Shen Yi often ran around. It was only in the second half of the year that he finally realized what position a coach should be on the battlefield.
The main tent of the Chinese army cannot be moved easily. As the commander-in-chief, it is best to stay in a fixed position to avoid the generals below being unable to find anyone when making important decisions.
Fortunately, Shen Yi gave his subordinates a lot of autonomy, basically delegating power to the greatest extent. Therefore, the generals could make their own decisions on most things. In this way, even when he ran around last year, nothing went wrong in the Huai'an army.
Su Ding was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, you are wise."
"You don't know that after you arrived in Shanxi last year, the messenger soldiers sent out by the late general said that they couldn't find you. It would take half a month or even longer to get a reply to a letter..."
"This year, if you sit firmly in the rear, the general will feel much more at ease."
Shen Yi looked at him with a smile and asked, "Since you already noticed the problem last year, why didn't you tell me last year?"
General Su coughed, lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, you are wise and wise. You must have your own reasons for going to Shanxi. I don't dare to say anything..."
Mr. Shen shook his head and said with a smile: "General Su blindly caters to Shangguan. In the future, future generations will criticize you for this."
General Su smiled and said: "I am not catering to the superior, but I admire Duke Shen from the bottom of my heart. I always feel that whatever you do, Duke Shen, is right."
"So I dare not talk too much."
Mr. Shen shook his head helplessly: "I have a lot of bad habits and I have done a lot of wrong things. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me directly."
"If it's offensive to my ears, I can still hear it."
Su Ding lowered his head: "General, I understand."
Shen Yi then stood up: "That's all for today, let's go eat."
"Let's discuss the specific strategies and tactics tomorrow."
General Su lowered his head: "Yes."
…………
Almost at the same time, in Cangzhou City.
A letter was delivered to Zhou Yuanlang.
Zhou Yuanlang took this letter and found his father. After handing it to his father, he said with a dark complexion: "Dad, this is a letter from Shen Qi."
Zhou Shizhong reached out to take it and asked, "What did you say?"
"He said that as long as our father and son surrender, Emperor Chen is willing to personally make a blood oath of alliance with our family."
Zhou Yuanlang took a deep breath with a complicated expression.
"Princes and princes will be loved by each other for generations."
I'm stuck...I've been thinking about how to fight next, and I've been holding it back until now. Sorry, sorry!
In addition, I recommend a book by an old author, Three Kingdoms type. Friends who are interested can read it~
