Starting from Detective Li Yuanfang Chapter 911 No matter how you say it, one hundred thousand versus thirty thousand, the advantage is mine!
"With the arrival of King Yang Tian in person, we have greater confidence in this battle."
On the Han River, Fang La stood on the bow of the ship, watching the fleet approaching in the distance. In the middle of the ship, the bow was fluttering in the wind, and the big "Shu" characters sounded loudly.
Wang Yin, who was originally supervising logistics in Jiangling Mansion, came to his side, sniffed lightly, and felt a faint fragrance blowing in the river wind. He whispered: "This man has been out since he was called the 'King of Xingshu'.
He no longer rode a horse, but sat in a chariot, hung a heavy curtain, tied a sachet around it, and smelled the fragrance for miles. It seems that the rumors are indeed true."
Fang La smiled calmly: "The land of Shu is rich. King Yang Tian has this inheritance, why can't he still enjoy it?"
The two exchanged tacit glances.
From recent contacts, it can be seen that this Yang Tianwang is exactly the kind of person who "cherishes his life when he does big things, and forgets his life when he sees small profits." He used to huddle in Sichuan and Sichuan, regardless of the wind and rain outside, but now he is happy when he sees a hundred profits.
It's such a harmless thing, but he actually came here in person.
In this way, allies can be easily utilized and can be entrusted to the rear with greater confidence.
This is not to say that the other party will not really have evil intentions, but even if the other party does that, Fang La is sure to drive this person back to Sichuan.
King Yang Tian did not think so. This man was tall and tall, dressed in bright yellow robes, woven with Shu brocade, and looked even more noble. Before the two ships approached, a hearty laugh that sounded like a bell could be heard: "Wu
King, it is better to see him once than to hear him a hundred times, and to admire him for a long time!"
Fang La's voice was not so loud, so he clasped his fists toward the other side and made an invitation gesture.
"My Healing Game"
Both sides were rebels who started the rebellion in the wilderness. Even though they were kings now, it was difficult to pay attention to etiquette. When the ship docked at the shore, they walked off together in a lively manner, even if they were two groups of mountain kings gathered together.
.
Fang La was going to drink this time. He served good wine and prepared delicacies early. He invited King Yang Tian to sit down and raised his glass: "The king of Shu is here. I am determined! Please!"
King Yang Tian also raised his glass and said with a smile: "With the King of Wu fighting against the Yan army and setting an example, I dare not stand behind others! Please!"
After the two had a drink, Fang La went straight to the topic: "The city of Xiangyang is high and the pond is deep. Our army adopts the strategy of 'building forts on all sides and besieging it for a long time'. However, Yan Ting is getting stronger in the north and its national power is getting stronger. A long war will definitely lead to defeat."
We are not in a good position. Now we have the King of Shu as our backup. I want to go north to Cloyang, so I will take care of the Yan army in Xiangyang!"
Fang La's army cannot attack Xiangyang now, but a large number of forts have been built around the moat. These fortifications will be transferred to the Shu army. King Yang Tian is naturally happy: "Xiangyang is handed over to the Shu army. Please rest assured, King Wu."
!”
Fang La was not at ease at all. The Shu army had been at ease for too long. Even if it relied on fortifications, it might not be a match for the Yan army, so he also made good arrangements: "This time our army of 100,000 troops is going north, food and grass logistics are the top priority.
, this matter has been entrusted to Wang Shangshu. The Yan army must not intercept the grain transportation, so half of the defenses must be reserved. I hope the King of Shu will bear with me!"
"You and I have formed an alliance, and we should help each other. King Wu is too polite!"
The corner of Yang Tianwang's mouth moved imperceptibly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction, but on the surface he was still enthusiastic: "Your army is heading north to Cloyang, I don't know how sure you are. The lonely Shu army can also go north to help!"
Fang La knew that the other party would not help at all, so he smiled and said: "Thank you very much for your kindness, King Shu, but this battle is about whether our south will be taken over by Bei Yan. I, the king, also make a decision before acting, not a reckless decision... I will lift the map of the country."
Come up!"
After the words fell, two young generals, Zheng Biao and Du Wei, carried a huge wooden board, and what was unfolded on it was a map.
This map is not as detailed as a geographical map of mountains and rivers. Many places are blank, but the prefectures and counties of the Central Plains and Jingxiang, Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers are very clear. There are also small flags planted in various places, representing various armies and troops.
Fang La introduced: "This object was seized from the Song Army for military deployment. It is said that knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure you are safe in a hundred battles. Recently, I sent a large number of scouts, carrying a lot of money, to go north to find out the news!"
King Yang Tianwang refused to listen and was very interested: "I would like to hear the details."
Fang La listed them one by one from north to south: "Yanting originally had three naval armies, one in Linjiang, two in Lianshui, and three in Tongyuan. They had been training in the East China Sea for a long time, and their combat power should not be underestimated. However, they all went to Goryeo at this time.
Going away is actually because King Yan is greedy for false fame and wants to restore the country for Goryeo. Otherwise, the navy will go south together and our army will be in danger!"
King Yang Tian's face was solemn, showing deep fear: "We have to guard against this navy!"
Fang La pointed to the border of Yan and Liao: "There are two more armies, named Peiping and Deshun, stationed in the north of Yanyun, in front of the border with Liao. According to the information my scouts found, Yan Ting is presiding over the construction of the Great Wall. These two armies are obviously
It is used to prevent cavalry outside the wall."
King Yang Tian didn't care much about this. It was nothing to do with him. No matter how powerful the foreign cavalry was, how could they possibly break into Sichuan and Shu?
Fang La continued: "Previously, Yan Ting had just taken over Hedong, and Hu Yanzhuo, who was responsible for pacifying this area, led the Yongning army back to Beijing to resume his duties. This man was originally a general of the Song Ting. After being a famous general who founded the country, he led the people to surrender together with the descendants of the Guan family.
Let the Yan army capture Bianjing without bloodshed!"
King Yang Tian sighed and admitted in his heart that the reputation of King Yan was indeed not comparable to that of King Wu of Shu, but he would never say it in his mouth. He snorted coldly: "A person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Fang La continued: "Now that Yan Ting is holding the imperial examination, the second round of provincial examinations has ended, and the third round of palace examinations is about to begin..."
King Yang Tian also knew about this, because all the scholars in Shu secretly went to the Central Plains to take the exam, and he was envious and jealous of this: "While Yan Ting was distracted by the imperial examination, King Wu sent troops to attack the Yan army and was caught off guard.
, what a good time to choose!”
Fang La shook his head slightly: "The Yan army attaches great importance to intelligence, and it is difficult to completely hide it. However, they have been victorious for a long time, and they are inevitably arrogant and underestimate the enemy. This can be used... King Shu, please take a look!"
He pointed in the direction of Guanzhong: "To the east of the river, Yan Ting's unification of the north has become unstoppable. Now two more armies have entered Guanzhong, one is Qin Ming's Weiyuan Army, and the other is Li Ying's Baoding Army."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This transfer is a bit strange. The Western Army surrendered before and was arranged to return to the northwest. Chao Gai, who now occupies Guanzhong, had been with the Xiang Army as early as when he recovered Yanyun.
Allies, we only need one army to pacify Hedong, but now we have two commanders, I'm afraid our plans are very big!"
Hearing the name of Shu native Qin Ming, King Yang frowned. If he wanted to attack Sichuan and Shu, he would basically have to attack from both Guanzhong and Jingxiang. If the other party sent Qin Ming to Guanzhong, would they target him next?
Is his Bashu gone?
What Fang La said next made his heart beat wildly, but he didn't believe it rashly: "How did King Wu know these secrets of the march?"
Fang La explained: "The Yan army has strict discipline and pays attention to the fish and water conditions of the army and the people. Anyone who harms the people will be severely punished. The army does not disturb the people, but the local people send rice and grain. The scouts I sent used this disguise to find out from the people's mouths
The army marches."
King Yang Tian suddenly realized: "So that's it... Gao Ming! Gao Ming!"
Fang La pointed to the map again: "Xu Ning's Guangxin Army and Zhang Qing's Zhenrong Army are in Xiangyang. As a result, only the last three of the Yan Army's ten land armies are left."
"One is Weisheng, and the commander is Sun Li; one is Ansu, and the commander is Shi Wengong; one is Ninghuajun, and the commander is Luan Tingyu."
"The main places guarded by these three armies are Bianjing and Luoyang, and they even intend to go south to control the Jianghuai River..."
King Yang Tian narrowed his eyes: "So, the most that King Wu will encounter during this trip north is these 30,000 troops?"
Fang La nodded: "Yes, this is what I think is the key to victory. The only weakness of the Yan army is that it believes too much in the elite strategy!"
"Yan Yun alone can support an army of 100,000 people. However, given the fertile soil of the Central Plains, the Yan army can only support an army of more than 100,000 people. This is obviously too few."
"Zhao and Song Dynasties had millions of troops and were vulnerable to attack. The only elite Western Army surrendered to the Yan Army. This obviously made the King of Yan think that too many troops were useless. As long as there were elite soldiers and strong generals, it was not enough.
Already..."
The founding emperor often changed some of the shortcomings of the previous dynasty in view of the disasters of the previous dynasty.
For example, in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian favored Dugu Jialuo alone, which was because he learned the lesson of the foolishness of Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the five queens who stood side by side.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin accepted remonstrance with an open mind because Yang Guang was stubborn and did not listen to good advice, which eventually led to his personal and national destruction.
Not to mention the Song Dynasty, in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the warrior rebellion in which sons killed their fathers and ministers killed their kings indeed brought great fear to the world, which led to the national policy of suppressing martial arts and cultivating culture.
The lessons learned from the fall of the country are always a warning. After the new dynasty monarchs learned the lesson, some became wise monarchs and saints, while others inevitably went too far.
In Fang La's view, it was overkill for King Yan to absorb the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty's redundant troops.
The Song Dynasty had too many soldiers, numbering in the millions, and less than one-tenth of the elite were able to fight. Those useless bandit soldiers embezzled a large amount of taxes and brought a heavy burden to the country and the people.
Yan Ting has too few soldiers. One hundred thousand elite soldiers, even if more than one hundred thousand auxiliary soldiers are included, are still too few compared to the current population under their control. It has indeed greatly reduced the burden on people's livelihood, but in key battles
, will also appear to be stretched thin.
King Yang Tian was able to achieve this feat, and he was certainly not without insight. He greatly agreed with this: "The Yan army only has one hundred thousand elite troops. It has to defend the Liao Kingdom, capture Guanzhong, march south to Jingxiang, and even suppress the Jianghuai River.
, this is really thinking that you are invincible and invincible in the world!"
Fang La's eyes showed a fiery look: "The Yan army has been victorious for a long time, and they are indeed confident, but I also want to tell them a truth. Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. There is no army in the world that can win every battle!"
Anyway, he was not the one to go in person. King Yang Tian was happy to see this man charging into the battle. He raised his wine glass and congratulated sincerely: "No matter how you say it, one hundred thousand versus thirty thousand, the advantage is yours. I look forward to the Wu army's triumphant victory! Go for it!"
"
Fang La raised his glass, laughed, and drank it all: "Accept your good words! Do it!"
