Tang Chao called over Zhang Miao and said: "From the situation in front of us, the Beijing people are most likely in the dense forest to the west. [ ] Since the Beijing people are still fifty or sixty miles away from Platform Pass, the supervisor does not have to forcefully march over. All of them
The men and horses will definitely get as close as possible to the back of the platform pass! But when the enemy launches, we don’t know yet.
When. If there is any unusual movement, it may be too late to report the news at the last minute. You should still go back to the Taiping Pass, keep in touch with the generals in front of the Taiping Pass, and pay close attention to the movements by the river. If there is any movement in the capital, our people will naturally report the news across the Huaihe River.
, after you get the letter, you need to immediately remind the garrison in the pass to prepare in advance."
Zhang Miao nodded and said: "Yes!"
"Bring a few more people and wait in turns." Tang Chao pointed to the few people brought over to be betrothed.
Zhang Miao responded and led the people back to the platform without mentioning it.
After saying that Yan Chu was discussing matters in the military tent under Platform Pass that day, he suddenly received a military report saying that Zhang He's army of 20,000 troops had separated from Zhang He's main force and was marching in the direction of Jinling.
Wan Yanchu was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly retreated, leaving only the core generals of the army to discuss secretly.
"I asked Zhang He why he was so procrastinating. It really ruined our plan!" Wan Yanchu said through gritted teeth.
"Then the plan to lure the enemy, do you still want to do it?"
Wan Yanchu hurriedly walked around the tent for a few times, then slowly slowed down and said, "Do it! Of course we have to do it. Zhang He is just guessing and there is no real evidence. Otherwise, he may immediately give up on encircling us with Jiang Jingyuan."
The plan in front of Taitai Pass. The whole army rushed to the back of Taitai Pass. Even if the whole army did not attack, at least half of the troops would be sent over. Now there are only 20,000 troops, which shows that he is not sure. "
"But what if he informs Jiang Jingyuan to pay attention?"
"Haha, there is no need to worry about this at all. Regardless of whether Jiang Jingyuan pays attention to it or not, what should we do or how we should do it. There are 100,000 people in Wutumu. It would be a huge benefit to annihilate all Jiang Jingyuan's troops while Jiang Jingyuan is not paying attention.
If Jiang Jingyuan had been prepared, the 100,000 men in Wutumu would have been able to gain a foothold behind the Platform Pass. If they could not completely annihilate them, even if they were trapped, they would still have to trap Jiang Jingyuan's troops.
In the Platform Pass, as long as he is trapped, it is a great achievement. In fact, I hope that Wutumu can trap Jiang Jingyuan, because as long as the Platform Pass is trapped, it will be a headache for the Feng people to save Jiang Jingyuan.
If we want to save the situation, Zhang Hejun alone may not be able to do it. If we can successfully lure out part of the Jinling City Imperial Guards, it will be extremely beneficial to our later operations."
"Zhang Hejun is a problem!"
"Well! However, it's not too much trouble. If they cross the Huai River to attack us, the Huai River will be their tomb; if they choose to lean back to the Platform Pass, when they get there, the Wutumu Department will definitely
Already closed the back station on the platform
Keep your footing! As long as Wutumu controls this end of the 'Life-Destroying Valley', even if Jiang Jing is an immortal, he will never leave the valley. By then Wutumu will have the full strength to free up his hands, and with Turten's cavalry, trap Zhang He's army.
Died behind the platform."
"What if Zhang He's army doesn't support Platform Pass and doesn't come to attack us, but instead retreats back?"
"It would be a bit troublesome to blindly preserve the main force. It's just that Zhang He can't bear the responsibility of retreating. When the time comes, we can let him go and let him retreat. I'm afraid that the imperial court will not be able to let him go. In fact, we can let him go and let him retreat.
, he has no choice to retreat. Therefore, if he is a brave general, he will try his best to
Avoid our ambush, cross the river, and encircle us with Jiang Jingyuan. If he is a wise general, after learning the real news, he will desperately take advantage of Wutumu's unstable footing and kill the general. No matter how he goes, in the end
, he will find that he can't take both paths." Wan Yanchu said with a gentle smile.
In the past two days, Wan Yanchu made frequent moves in the pass, deliberately avoiding Jiang Jingyuan's spies, and secretly sent a cavalry force of 10,000 people to leave the formation. The target was, of course, the possible location where Zhang He's army would cross the river.
This was a plan, and the purpose was to let Zhang Hejun know that he had sent an ambush to force Zhang Hejun to cross the river at the place he envisioned. And at the place he envisioned to cross the river, 40,000 cavalry were already ambushed.
If Zhang He was a little careless and didn't realize the depth of his layout, he would be beaten to pieces by his own cavalry!
Even if Zhang He was lucky enough to discover his layout before crossing the river, he would probably not be able to escape the pursuit of his cavalry. By the time Zhang He retreated to the back of the Platform Pass in embarrassment, he would have already had the situation under his control.
.
Several core generals discussed it, and they all felt that since Zhang He had divided his troops into 20,000 men, and the main force was still marching towards the Platform Pass, there was no possibility of escape. He said, "I hope Wutumu will have obtained it by this time."
News. Preparations can be made as early as possible.”
Wan Yanchu nodded and said: "With Wu Tumu's caution and the king's instructions before leaving, he should have thought that Fengren would most likely set up defenses behind Platform Pass. Even if Zhang and He didn't separate their troops, it was very possible that Jiang Jingyuan would
Garrison troops on the south bank of the Huai River. Therefore, Wutumu must be on guard. Zhang He will not lead the 20,000 people personally. Wutumu only needs to allocate 20,000 to 30,000 men and hold on to it for convenience.
The main direction of attack is naturally within the platform pass! As long as we succeed in the platform pass, the 20,000 people behind the pass will not be a worry. I guess Zhang He never imagined that we would have 100,000 people behind the platform pass. One hundred thousand people will come.
It’s not easy for 100,000 people, this is our greatest chance of winning. Therefore, it is best if Wu Tumu can get the news; even if he can’t get the news, I believe that he will take appropriate precautions."
"Then we only need to capture Zhang He's main force!"
Wan Yanchu nodded, thought for a while and said: "Send the order to Turten, keep an eye on Zhang He's main force! It would be better if you can intercept Zhang He on the Huaihe River! If you can't stop him, let him come over for a part."
It’s not a big problem. But if Zhang He’s army retreats to Taiping Pass, and his 50,000 cavalrymen cannot kill Zhang He’s 80,000 men, then let him commit suicide in front of the battle and don’t come to see me again.”
After thinking about it, Wan Yanchu said again: "Jiang Jingyuan should have already known about the departure of our ten thousand cavalry! If he didn't know, it is because I have surpassed him. When Turten and Zhang He fought, Jiang Jingyuan
You will definitely know,
The fact that all the 50,000 cavalry here are empty. Once he knows, he will definitely lead the army to attack us. Therefore, in the past few days, the soldiers of the army have once again accelerated the construction of fortifications. The ditch must be wide and the earth wall must be thick.
."
"In addition, order the three armies to gather all the archers and all the arrows together. On the day of the Wu Tu Mu attack, I will make sure that Feng Ren cannot move for an hour."
"yes!"
After Yan Chu's military order, the construction progress of the fortifications in the capital camp began to speed up greatly. Even at night, torches were lit to speed up the construction of the fortifications.
When the news reached Taiping Pass, Jiang Jingyuan was relieved. He was really worried that the people in Beijing would be scared away when they heard that Zhang Hejun was coming.
Since the Beijing people are so diligent in building fortifications, then the Beijing people really want to fight with him at the Platform Pass! Huh, Wan Yanchu is very calculating. Do you think you don't know about the 10,000 cavalry he sent out?
Even if he didn’t know that the Beijing people had sent out 10,000 cavalry! With only those 10,000 cavalry, Wan Yanchu wanted to ambush Zhang He’s army of 100,000 men?
How is this possible?
Even if they take advantage of Zhang He's army to cross the river and attack fiercely, they may not be able to gain much advantage. After all, the difference in strength is too great. On the battlefield, there is no chance of falsehood. Ten thousand people, even if they are cavalry,
No matter what happened to Zhang He when he was halfway across, he still had enough strength to deal with the Beijing people.
What's more, the whereabouts of the 10,000 cavalrymen have been detected by me!
Besides, Zhang He's marching posture was so cautious, even if the Beijing cavalry was not known about the whereabouts, it would be difficult for the Beijing people to succeed.
Zhang He was indeed cautious enough, especially after receiving the news from Jiang Jingyuan that the Beijing people had sent out 10,000 cavalry, he became even more cautious.
According to Su San's analysis of Jingren's intention, Jingren wanted to eat him in one bite.
If the people of Beijing want to kill themselves, they will definitely not send only ten thousand cavalry.
Although Zhang He still hasn't found out more information about the Beijing cavalry at the moment, Zhang He would rather believe Su San's judgment that the main force of the Beijing cavalry must be out in full force and is secretly watching him at this time.
The Jingren cavalry is very elite, coming and going like the wind, and moves quickly. When your own army is marching, the scope of military reporting is extremely limited. If the Jingren cavalry hides in a place where you can't detect military intelligence, you really have no way to detect it.
If he really waited until he knew the whereabouts of the Beijing cavalry, I was afraid that when he did, the Beijing cavalry would also attack.
Infantry is the most disadvantaged against cavalry!
If there is a position to hold on to, he will still be afraid; if he fights while walking, it is just like delivering food to others. Therefore, Zhang He did not dare to walk too much every day. He must set aside enough time to build a camp and defend the camp accordingly.
The baggage was also carried with the army. Although many generals in the army were puzzled and even dissatisfied with his actions, Zhang He did not need to explain so much.
Although he has not yet received any definite news that there are enemy troops behind the Platform Pass, he believes that Su San's judgment is very likely to be true. After all, after the Beijing people suddenly went south, there was complete silence under the Platform Pass. This is the biggest problem.
unreasonable.
No one would treat war as a trivial matter; Beijing people are not fools. After brazenly launching a war, they are ready to waste time on the platform. Feng Ren can afford it, but Beijing people have no time.
Half a year, half a year at most. If the Beijingers cannot capture Jinling City, then they will be prepared to face the consequences of being attacked from three sides.
When that time comes, even if the Kyoto people have enough troops to fight on three sides, they may not be able to maintain the national strength to fight on three sides.
Therefore, the people of Beijing will never play games with the Feng army under Platform Pass; if they want to play, they have to go to Jinling City to play.
Therefore, Su San’s judgment is mostly based on facts.
