ps: Apologize in advance, there is no update at noon today. There is no objective reason, it is purely my personal reason. Yesterday, old colleagues got together, had a drink at noon, and another meal at night... Finally it got better.
When I got home in the evening, I had a splitting headache and went to bed early without coding a word. I got up in the morning and hurried to work. This chapter was coded just after work. There will be another chapter today, but it will be later. I suggest tomorrow
Look again, go to bed early and try not to stay up late. I am an example. I don’t have any major problems now, but after staying up late for a long time, I will continue to have minor problems. If I escape, hurry up and code.
Just as Yue Le guessed but did not tell Mi Huang, Liu Ling's back-up force was in Jizhou. The second batch of 200,000 troops departing from Luoyang was led by the veteran Zhongyihou Wang Banjin as the main general, and Hutinghou Liu Mao as the general.
The deputy general, Lei Yuan, was the vanguard. After starting from Luoyang, he detoured into the original territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, then bypassed Weizhou and went directly to the direction of Jizhou. With an army of 200,000, even if it took a detour, it would be very difficult to deceive others.
It was difficult, and when the Han army came out from the east side of the original Northern Han border crossing, it was already not far from Jizhou. In addition, Wang Banjin became ruthless this time. Anyone who passed through a city wearing military uniforms would be killed.
amnesty.
If Wang Banjin had his temper, he would even want to kill everyone in his path, whether civilians or soldiers. Fortunately, he knew that if he really did that, Liu Ling would kill him even if he won the battle.
He skinned him. Fortunately, the people had the same attitude towards the Zhou army and the Han army, and stayed away. No one would go all the way to report to Pei Zhan, and no people would take up arms to resist the invasion. In this
In troubled times, the people did not have the concept of aggression in their minds. They only worried about who they would pay taxes to tomorrow. Having said that, the good policies of the areas controlled by the Han army had spread throughout the country. Relatively speaking, the people's friendliness towards the Han army
Even stronger than Zhou Jun.
Of course, the common people have a deep resentment against soldiers. The war has been going on for so long that people can no longer recall the taste of peace.
If you say what species has the strongest stretchability in the world... please stop thinking and don't think about your second brother. Okay, let's change the vocabulary. If you say what species has the strongest stretchability in the world, there is no doubt.
They are human beings, and they are the lowest level of human beings.
They have become accustomed to oppression. Because of their cowardice, they will be oppressed to the point of not having enough to eat or even survive. But when the oppression reaches the extreme, they will explode and burst out with power more powerful than wild beasts to overthrow unfairness.
The oppressive class, and then, a few years later, they became accustomed to oppression. The people can really straighten their backs and behave themselves. Throughout the ages, it seems that only the ten or twenty years at the beginning of a certain country was founded. Although they were poor at that time, they were poor with backbone.
Wherever there is class, there is oppression. This is an eternal truth.
Two hundred thousand Han troops left the Northern Han Dynasty and walked for three days past Xingzhou. Two days later, they were not far from Jizhou. It was the first time in his life that Wang Banjin commanded such a large army to fight. He was nervous, excited, and even overjoyed.
The closer the day of the war came, the more he began to have trouble sleeping. He was already fifty years old. At the age of fifty, he had reached the pinnacle of martial arts glory in his life. A total of 200,000 troops, ten years ago, would have been all-powerful.
The Northern Han Dynasty could not muster such a huge army with all its might.
Ten years ago, he was already the Marquis of Zhongyi. At that time, he had only 3,000 troops under his command. Ten years later, his title was still the Marquis of Zhongyi, but he was even more excited and excited than when he just got the title. This is a great man.
era, the second Han era!
The fourteenth day of the seventh month of the third year of the reign of Han Dynasty falls on the yin day.
Two hundred thousand Han troops stopped sixty miles west of Jizhou. Wang Banjin did not send out scouts to inquire about the situation in Jizhou, because the scouts were not as skillful as the spies from the Supervisory Council. For this operation, they mobilized
This number does not seem very important, but if you analyze it, you will know that this is actually all the troops that the Han can call upon! Jinzhou, Luoyang, Yongzhou, Yanzhou,
These important state capitals require a large number of troops to guard, especially Jinzhou and Yanzhou. Jinzhou is the temporary capital of the Han Dynasty, and Maoyuan leads 100,000 elite troops to guard it. Yanzhou is located in the northwest and is the throat to curb the Xixia army from going south.
Wang Banjin was ordered to lead the army north, and Cheng Yihou succeeded him in training an army of 200,000 in Yanzhou. The importance of these two places was the top two in the world of the Han Dynasty today.
Relatively speaking, the Xijing Luoyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not that important. Although it is also heavily guarded, its political significance is much greater than its strategic significance. The Great Zhou Dynasty lost Luoyang, the Xijing, and its morale was hit hard. But Luoyang's
The strategic position is actually not that important, so the Zhou court did not even arrange for the Twelve Guards to be stationed in Luoyang.
Wang Banjin was good at attacking, Liu Mao was good at defending, and Liu Ling sent these two people to lead the army northward because they considered that these two people could complement each other in terms of character and ability. These two people will command this battle. This battle will strive to
The main force of the Ding'an Army was completely wiped out to achieve the goal of basically eliminating the Zhou Dynasty soldiers. As long as the Ding'an Army is destroyed, the 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers are just a lone army and pose no threat.
There are more than three spies in the Overwatch Council. The assassins in all four are also masters of stealth. Compared with the army's scouts, the assassins in all four can approach the Zhou army's camp more easily. After the army's professional scouts discover the enemy's situation, they often
You have to pay the price of your life to send the message back. The people of the Control Council lurk, peek, and then retreat quietly. This is their basic skill.
In fact, the secret spies of the Overwatch Council had been observing the situation in Jizhou for a long time before the Han army's troops arrived. The information was quickly transmitted to the Han army through the special channels of the Overwatch Council, providing the most detailed information for the generals to formulate combat plans.
Therefore, when the Zhou army did not know or realize that there were already 200,000 elite Han troops within 600,000 miles, eyeing them eagerly, their enemies already had a considerable understanding of them.
Liu Mao stood in the shade of a tree at the foot of the hillside, looking at the nearby terrain with the clairvoyance created by the Supervisory Council. He was a prudent and prudent person, and was used to getting familiar with the terrain after arriving somewhere. This was a good habit, because
, he determined the dangerous factors and at the same time found the best route to retreat. It is Liu Mao's characteristic to retreat first in order to advance.
"The mountains are far away."
Wang Banjin called Liu Mao, walked over and said: "After this hillock, there is a plain plain ahead. This is sixty miles away from Jizhou. It is difficult to launch a surprise attack from this distance. How can we catch him by surprise? Think of it.
Is there any good solution?"
Liu Mao put away his clairvoyance and shook his head and said: "Commander, the distance of sixty miles is too far. Even if the cavalry makes a surprise attack, sixty miles is already exhausted. At the end of the crossbow, the Ding'an Army has 250,000 troops outside Jizhou. Attack
If the force is not strong enough and sudden, it will be difficult for one blow to be effective."
Wang Banjin walked up to him, took over the clairvoyant eye and said, "If... we can close the distance by half, we will be sure."
Liu Mao frowned and said: "According to the intelligence sent by the Supervisory Council, the person who commanded the Ding'an army to attack Jizhou should be Pei Zhan's military officer Pang Zhun. This man is cautious but not lacking in determination, decisive and not reckless in character. He is really a rival.
The Ding'an Army's scout inspection range is forty miles away, and a simple beacon tower is set up every ten miles. Once there is military intelligence, the beacon will be lit immediately, and the Ding'an Army camp will respond immediately. If you want to get closer to the Ding'an Army, you will be thirty miles away.
It is almost impossible to stay inside without being noticed by the other party."
Wang Banjin shook his head and said: "If it were just a beacon tower, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with it. Have you forgotten the allusion about crossing the river in white? There will be no more than thirty guards on a beacon tower, although it can't cause any caravans or funerals.
We come under the guise of something like that, but don’t forget, the Overwatch Council has touched twenty people in silver this time, and one in gold to help us. If you want to kill a beacon guard, it’s easy. Wait, wait for the Overwatch Council
We'll make a decision after the people find out more about the situation."
Liu Mao nodded and said, "There is one more thing, I'm embarrassed!"
"What's the matter?"
Wang Banjin put down his clairvoyance and asked.
Liu Maodao: "If we want to defeat the Ding'an Army in one fell swoop, it's still a bit reluctant for us to just rely on a surprise attack. It's best to contact Zhu Sanqi, the Chengde Army in Jizhou City, and cooperate with each other from both sides. In this way, the Ding'an Army will be defeated in one battle until they can't stand up."
It will be easier. However, what I am worried about is that even if Zhu Sanqi knows that our army is coming, when we have a lively fight with the Ding'an Army, he will stand at the top of the city and watch the show. After all, whether it is my big man's army or the Ding'an Army
, are all his enemies."
Wang Banjin did not answer Liu Mao's words, but played with the clairvoyance in his hand and praised: "Your Majesty is really a genius. A gadget like clairvoyance can actually allow people to see so far away. It's amazing."
He admired: "The Overwatch Council is the clairvoyance of our big men."
Liu Mao didn't know what Wang Banjin wanted to express, so he didn't interrupt. Wang Banjin looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, took a deep breath and said, "Don't think about this, Zhu Sanqi is not a fool!"
"Commander, please give me a clear explanation."
Liu Mao asked modestly.
Wang Banjin smiled and said: "Shan Yuan, if you were Liu Mao, what would you do if you watched my Han army fight a decisive battle with the Ding'an army?"
Liu Mao was silent for a long time and then sighed and said: "I will send troops to help the Han army completely defeat the Ding'an army."
Wang Banjin laughed loudly and said: "You understand, Zhu Sanqi will naturally understand too."
"Whether the Ding'an Army defeated us or we defeated the Ding'an Army, if Zhu Sanqi did not participate, the situation in Jizhou would still not change. It would just be a different army to besiege the city. Zhu Sanqi could also think
You have to understand that since my Han army is here, the fate of the Ding'an army returning south will definitely not be better! He knows that the battle with Pei is over. And after the battle with Pei is over, the last hope of Zhou Dynasty will be shattered. He must make a decision
, should he resist my big Han lion, or surrender. If he resists, does he have any chance of winning?"
Wang Banjin smiled and said: "There is no doubt that no one in the world today can be the opponent of His Highness the King of Han!"
Liu Mao sighed: "One thought can determine success or failure. If Zhu Sanqi really wants to understand, he will be a great person."
Wang Banjin said: "Zhu Sanqi was able to control Cheng De's army with the help of a tired army that had returned 20,000 miles away, which already shows that he is a person. If he chooses to submit, he is a wise and rational person. If he chooses to resist,
, there is no reason, he is a hero, but... heroes often do not live long." (To be continued)
