"Regardless of whether Chen Hansan really surrendered or pretended to surrender, if this fake show continues, what kind of situation will evolve around Xuzhou?" Lin Fu stood up, took the tea cup in front of Liu Miaozhen, and let it go again.
Gao Zongting brought the tea cup, pointed to the three cups on the table, and said to everyone, "The most likely thing is that there will be three armies around Xuzhou: one is Chen Hansan's 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the other is Yan Lu Shou.
First, suppose that we were invited by Chen Hansan to go north to Xuzhou to encircle and annihilate Yanlu's troops. If we don't trust Chen Hansan, how can Yanlu trust him without reservation?
Chen Hansan?"
"Chen Hansan is double-dealing. Unless he completely hands over his military power, anyone who trusts him without reservation will be stabbed in the back." Li Liang said, among all the generals in Huaiyang, who would not want to kill Chen Hansan?
Han San caught them, skinned them and ate the meat.
Lin Fu smiled and said: "It is true. Xuzhou is the key point of Huaisi. When it is the key point of Hehuai River, how could Yanlu not have a thorough study of Chen Hansan? But the more thorough the study of him, the more he can understand what he wants to do.
It is absolutely impossible to trust him unreservedly because of the price. However, the city of Xuzhou is particularly important. As long as the Yanlu capture Xuzhou, they will be able to almost equally share the territory of the Hehuai River with us, and even have a slight advantage. If not
To capture Xuzhou, the Yanlu could only deploy their troops and horses on the front line of Jinan. There was a gap of six to seven hundred miles between the front and the back. Even if they were worried about Chen Hansan's repeated attempts, they could capture Xuzhou without spending a single soldier.
If there is a good opportunity, Yanlu will take the risk. But before the situation in Hehuai River is completely clear, especially in Dongping and Jining, and the grain road from Jinan to Xuzhou is not open, Yanlu can only send a limited force.
The partial division will come first to capture Xuzhou - this partial division has sufficient strength, only 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and should be dominated by the new auxiliary army."
"If the soldiers and horses sent by Yanlu are less than 20,000, combined with Chen Hansan, there are only 40,000. Damn it!" Sun Zhuang clenched his fist, banged the table, and said excitedly.
"Don't be too excited," Lin Fu signaled to Sun Zhuang to calm down. "Time is tight. There is no time to conspire with Guoyang on this matter. We don't have many troops from Huaiyang and other cities. Besides, we have assembled to go to Xuzhou.
With too many troops, Yan Lu was shocked and retreated north, and Chen Hansan would definitely defend the city. In the end, it was just a trip in vain. If we want to muddy the water and catch fish, we mobilized to Suining to gather and wait for the opportunity.
The strength of our troops can only be 20,000 at most. The situation is as expected. It has developed to this point. Near Xuzhou City, Chen Hansan has 20,000 troops and Yanlu has 20,000 troops heading south. We have two
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and other troops are two to three hundred miles away, and they cannot enter the battlefield for more than two days. How can we seize the opportunity?"
"If we want to capture Xuzhou once and for all, we must lure the poisonous snake Chen Hansan out of the cave," Liu Miaozhen, who had not spoken until now, said out loud, "Twenty thousand troops are enough. After the Yanlu soldiers
When Ma Nan was approaching Xuzhou, I led 20,000 Huaiyang elites to decisively intervene. Yanlu was suspicious of Chen Hansan and did not dare to take the risk of fighting our troops first. As long as our troops entered decisively, they would definitely shrink back.
, and if Chen Hansan wants to win Yanlu’s trust, he can only leave the city and attack us first——”
"It's easy to lure a snake out of its hole," Lin Fu said, "but after Chen Hansan leads his troops out of the city to engage in battle, Yanlu's troops will surely dispel their doubts when they march south, and then they will attack our army from the flank - can the 20,000 Huaiyang elites stop Chen Han?"
Three and Yan Lu's soldiers and horses are attacking from the south?"
"You have to block it even if you can't!" Liu Miaozhen said softly, "Otherwise, there is no chance to kill Chen Hansan." Although her voice was soft and her face was covered by a bronze mask, her fists were clenched.
Put it on the desk to show her firm determination.
"Please allow Huaiyang Town to go to war!" Ma Lan pushed the case and walked to the front of the hall and knelt down. Without any fear that Chen Hansan and Yan Hunan might be attacked by troops, he firmly requested to go to war. Li Liang and other Huaiyang generals also came to the front of the hall.
Run down and ask for a fight.
"Sir..." Sun Zhuang's voice was choked and he also asked to fight.
"My lord, Xu Miaozhen, please come out to fight..." Liu Miaozhen took off the bronze mask on her face, revealing her charming face. She sat down in front of the case, buried her forehead in front of her knees and asked to go out to fight.
"I will hand over the Huaidong cavalry camp to you, gather 20,000 elite cavalrymen, and let you lead them to Xuzhou. How likely are you to kill Chen Hansan?" Lin Fu asked.
"Miaozhen dare not speak loudly. It is difficult for Chen Hansan and the soldiers who went south to cooperate with each other. There is a 50% certainty of victory." Liu Miaozhen raised her head and looked at Lin Fu.
The Huaidong Cavalry Camp is an elite combat force that Lin Fu has mobilized from various ministries over the years. The entire army has six battalions with nearly 4,000 people. Zhou Pu is the chief general, Sun Zhuang is the deputy general, and Huaiyang Zhen is near
Of the 2,000 cavalrymen and the 20,000 cavalrymen who were brought to Xuzhou City for the battle, there were 6,000 fine cavalrymen; and Huaiyang Town has been recuperating in the past two years. No matter how bad it is, it cannot be worse than Chen Hansan's 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers.
Liu Miaozhen said that he had a 50% chance of winning against the pincer attack by Chen Hansan and his soldiers who were marching south, with up to 40,000 soldiers, which was not a lie.
Lin Fu tapped his fingers on the desk, thinking deeply.
Although everyone in the hall was eager to fight, Ye Junan said with some worry: "Even if we win, it will only be a narrow victory. It will be a miserable victory. Too many troops were lost under Xuzhou City. Even if Xuzhou is successfully captured, it may not be beneficial to the future situation."
ah……"
At present, the Huaisi defense line is dominated by the Huaiyang Town Army. Among the 50,000 elite troops, Huaiyang Town accounts for three-fifths.
If the main force of the Huaiyang town army is crippled outside Xuzhou City, even if Xuzhou is captured and tens of thousands of Yanhu soldiers and horses press southward after conquering Dongping, Huaidong will not have enough elite troops to defend Huaisi.
Defending the Xusi area will only lead to Xuzhou being gained and lost again, and Huaiyang, Suining and other cities will also be unable to be defended.
"It would be great if we could separate Chen Hansan from the soldiers going south during the battle." Gao Zongting said.
"The rivers north of Huaiyang have almost frozen solid. Although there are many mountains and hills around Xuzhou, they are not steep and cannot hinder the passage of soldiers and horses. How easy is it to divide the enemy troops?" Ye Junan's early years
He has traveled all over the world and is very familiar with the geographical situation of the world. Although he is not good at scheming, there are few loopholes in deducing changes in military situations.
If Chen Hansan can be separated from the Yanlu soldiers and horses heading south, Liu Miaozhen will lead his troops to attack, and the chance of victory will naturally increase. However, the overall strength of the army is at a disadvantage, and if he wants to divide the enemy,
Rivers, mountain ravines and other terrain can only be used to block the attack. Although Xuzhou City is located between Bianshui River and Si River, in the cold winter, both Bian and Si Rivers have frozen, so it is convenient to enter and exit on foot and there is no risk of obstruction.
"In the early years when we were in Cangnan, didn't you lure the enemy's cavalry into the glacier?" Zhou Pu interjected.
Lin Fu shook his head and said: "The enemy cavalry must be surrounded first, so that we can calmly send people to dig through the river ice on the periphery, and then lure the enemy in - our troops entering Xuzhou are much smaller than the enemy's, so we can't
How can it be possible to restrict the entry and exit of enemy scouts and quietly send people to dig out a several-mile-long ice-breaking channel in Bianshui or Si River to lure the enemy into falling?" Speaking of this, Lin Fu suddenly remembered something and said
, "This river ice does not necessarily need to be dug by someone to break it..."
"Sir, do you have any other clever ideas?" Gao Zongting had no idea at all, but seeing Lin Fu's idea flash, he asked happily.
If Chen Hansan could be separated from the southbound soldiers and attacked when he lured the snake out of the cave, then there would be much to be done...
"Whether this can be done or not, we still have to do some testing," Lin Fu was still not sure at this time, and said, "But no matter what, if this plan is to work, we can only stop the soldiers heading south to the west of Bian River.
We must first ensure that the captive troops approach Xuzhou from the west..."
"This is easy," Gao Zongting said, "Chen Hansan wants to play a trick with us. We can just put out a bid now and ask him to give up Xiapi..."
Xiapi (now Pizhou) is located to the north of Suyu, east of Xuzhou, and west of Yizhou. It belongs to Xuzhou and is more than a hundred miles away from Xuzhou City. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists. In terms of terrain, it is better than Suyu.
, Suining is even more important.
Xiapi is located between the Si and Yi rivers, with hills and ridges crisscrossing it to the north. As long as Huaidong stationed an elite force in Xiapi and held on to it, it would be able to basically secure Yizhou, Yinan, Tancheng, Haizhou, Guanyun, etc. to the east.
The ground was not open to the influx of large numbers of enemy troops.
"Get out of Xiapi!" Chen Hansan frowned, very dissatisfied with Ma Zhen's request to bring back Lin Fu.
Suining and Suyu originally belonged to Xuzhou, but after the Huaisi War, they gave Lin Fu a trick and ordered Sun Zhuang's troops to occupy them and not leave. The eight cities under Xuzhou's jurisdiction were finally in his hands, and only copper
Shan, Xiapi, Xiao County and other limited three or four cities, if they are not attacked now, Xiapi will be given away. How can Chen Hansan not feel distressed?
"What if Donghai Gu's plan is allowed but he intends to go to Pi, and he doesn't lose his wife and lose his troops?" Chen Hansan stared at Ma Zhen with his big copper eyes and asked.
"How can you win the trust of Donghai Fox if the handsome master doesn't give up Xiapi?" Ma Zhen said, "Even if the main force of the Huaiyang town army cannot be lured out and annihilated, giving up Xiapi today will only increase the strength of the Huaidong army.
They were just scattered. When hundreds of thousands of troops from the Northern Dynasty moved south, with Xuzhou as the base, what difference would it make if there was Xiapi or not? Furthermore, the handsome man gave up Xiapi, which was an excuse to disperse the copper in Xiapi.
Shan, Xiaoxian's troops gathered in Xuzhou - Donghaihu agreed to transfer 20,000 troops and horses from Huaiyang to Xuzhou. The strength of its troops should not be underestimated. This battle under Xuzhou City is related to the future of the handsome man and cannot be underestimated.
ah."
"I know this," Chen Hansan said, "A thousand days to raise an army is spent in a moment. The two thousand men in Xuzhou City have raised fat for nearly two years. If they attack Huaiyang Town with the troops of the Northern Dynasty, they will not be able to defeat it.
What's the use?"
"This time, Donghai Fox asked Zhang Yubo to bring 300 elites into the city. The handsome man should be more careful," Ma Zhen said.
"I know this..." Chen Hansan said. If Lin Fu had unsuspectingly agreed to the false surrender plan, Chen Hansan would have hesitated. At this time, Lin Fu would not only send troops to Xiapi first, but also let Zhang Yubo lead them.
Three hundred elite troops entered Xuzhou to prepare for any trouble, which convinced Chen Hansan that Lin Fu would take the risk. After all, using a fake surrender strategy to annihilate an elite force in the Northern Dynasty would play a great role in improving the situation in the Hehuai River. Very few people could
