In the commander's tent of the Qin army camp in Hangu, Qin Shaojun looked in surprise at the Qin army commander, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, who was explaining the strategy to the generals.
"That's right." Glancing at Qin Shaojun, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi said seriously: "Currently in Sanchuan territory, if our army captures and kills two people, it will cause an immeasurable blow to the morale of the Wei army. One of them is Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
, and the other person is his deputy general, Wei General Sima An..."
After a pause, Gongsun Qi stroked his beard and continued: "Nowadays, Wei General Sima An is quite famous in Sanchuan. It has reached the point where people in Sichuan are talking about it. If we can find a way to kill this person, I believe
It will definitely bring down the morale of the Wei army."
"Wei general Sima An is not that easy to kill..." Qin Shaojun said with a frown.
Hearing this, all the Qin army generals in the tent also nodded their heads.
It is true that capturing Wei Gongzi Ji Run is the best strategy. After all, as long as the Qin army captures the former, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army on the Sanchuan battlefield, then the Qin army can be said to have won half of the battle between the Qin army and the Wei army.
, but it is a pity that Wei Gongzi Ji Run has hundreds of thousands of troops around him, and even one hundred thousand of them are elites like the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army.
Therefore, trying to capture Wei Gongzi Ji Run is tantamount to wishful thinking.
However, it is also very difficult to do the next best thing and try to kill Wei General Sima An. You must know that as the deputy general of Wei Gongzi Ji Run, Wei General Sima An is in charge of 50,000 cavalry... that is a full 50,000 cavalry.
Cavalry!
Even a country as big as Qin could not raise 50,000 cavalry! - Of course, in fact, Wei could not raise 50,000 cavalry either. Those 50,000 cavalry were actually led by Tong Boxi Le, the governor of the Northern Sichuan Alliance.
Fifty thousand Jiejiao cavalry, but it must be admitted that this cavalry is currently under the orders of Wei Gongzi Ji Run and his deputy general Sima An.
"That's why I won't save Lu's Wu Xu..."
Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi's indifferent words confused Qin Shaojun and many generals.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the people in the tent, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi invited them to the table, pointed to the "Three Rivers Map" spread out on the table, and said: "As expected, Wei General Sima An
He is indeed a fierce general of Wei State. I thought it would take him several days to defeat the Wuxu tribe, but I didn’t expect that after he arrived at the Lu family, he destroyed the Wuxu tribe in just a few days..."
Hearing this, Qin Shaojun, Wang Lu, Wang Jian and other generals also showed admiration.
Because under Zhao Hongrun's deliberate promotion, the terrifying record of "Sima An gave a sheep to Li Xin and used five hundred sheep to destroy Wu Xu" was spreading crazily in Sanchuan.
Undoubtedly, Zhao Hongrun planned to shape Sima An into the "invincible God of War of the Wei State" so that in the future Sima An would be able to take control of Hexi and even send troops to Hetao.
It's embarrassing. In the eyes of the people of the world, Wei's infantry is very powerful, especially Wei's soldiers. However, Wei's world-famous generals are very few.
Although the generals of the Sixth Battalion of the Garrison, General Shao Hu, and the King of Nanliang Zhao Yuanzuo are all quite famous in Wei itself, if placed in the entire Central Plains, there is currently only one world-famous general in Wei——
Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
In fact, there are not many local generals in Wei who can rival Zhao Hongrun, such as Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, Shao Hu, the general, Zhao Yuanke, the king of Yu, etc.
But there was nothing we could do about it, because Wei Gongzi Ji Run, also known as Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, was the only Wei man who successively conquered Shouying, the capital of the King of Chu, and Handan, the capital of South Korea. He successively conquered the capitals of the two countries.
, and has never been defeated so far, even if the opponent is Shouling Junjingshe of Chu State, or Mashe, the Shanggu Shou of South Korea, etc.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the world, Wei Gongzi Ji Run seems to be more powerful than other Wei generals such as Sima An, Wei Ji, Zhao Yuanzuo, Shao Hu, etc.
But in fact this is not the case. It is not that Zhao Hongrun is more powerful than these people, but because he is more famous.
In this era, a commander's reputation and prestige are very important.
Just like Zhao Hongrun, if he had put forward the slogan "Those who obey will prosper, those who rebel will perish" in Sanchuan a few years ago, I believe he would have become the target of public criticism. However, after the "Battle of Sanchuan of Wei and Qin" and "One-day Battle of Hangu", when
When Zhao Hongrun raised this slogan again, some tribes did not dare to openly resist, even if they were unwilling to surrender to Wei. They could only express their dissatisfaction through some gentler means, such as refusing to fly the Wei national flag and the Sichuan-Luo League flag.
Therefore, considering that his reputation in Sanchuan could no longer be improved, Zhao Hongrun simply stepped up his efforts to shape Sima An's image as the God of War. Although his reputation was a bit unpleasant, "Sima the Butcher who massacred hundreds of thousands of people" was bound to be more than a simple one.
"Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army" is more famous and can scare people who are enemies of Wei.
No, with Zhao Hongrun's vigorous promotion, Wei General Sima An's reputation in Sanchuan increased rapidly, so much so that everyone in the Qin army knew about this Wei general.
Of course, the negative aspect of this matter is that the Qin army is currently trying to eliminate Sima An and attempt to cut off the arm of Wei Gong Ji Run.
"...Wei general Sima An destroyed Wu Xu. His next step will definitely be to attack the Jie tribe."
This judgment made by Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi did not cause any controversy among the generals in the tent.
The reason is very simple. With Wei Gongzi Ji Run as a commander who is good at fighting, it is impossible for Sima An to choose to attack the Ling tribe located in Yichuan, because Yichuan is closer to the Lu family, and Luonan is far away from the Lu family. Therefore,
, Sima An, who is in charge of the cavalry, will inevitably choose to attack the distant Jie tribe, and leave the closer Ling tribe to the commander Wei Gongzi Ji Run - as long as the Wei army's strategy is "quick attack", then this is the best
choice.
At this time, Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, finally revealed his strategy to eradicate Wei general Sima An and his 50,000 cavalry: "...from the Lu family to Luonan, there is only a long and narrow valley road. If Sima An leads an army to attack the Jie tribe,
During this period, if our army cuts off the return route of Sima An's troops, this Wei general who is currently famous in Sanchuan will surely perish."
Qin Shaojun frowned when he heard this and asked: "May I ask the chief concubine, where should I put Ji Run, the young master of Wei?"
After hearing this, Wang Lu, Wang Jian and other generals also looked at Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi in confusion.
It is undeniable that Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qizong's strategy is correct, but this strategy has a problem that cannot be ignored, that is, the Lu family is currently occupied by Wei Gongzi Ji Run's army.
As long as the Lu family is still in the hands of the Wei army, it is impossible for the Qin army to cut off Wei general Sima An's return route from attacking the Jie tribe.
Facing the questioning eyes of everyone in the tent, Wuxinhou Gongsun Qi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Therefore, we must use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"
"What do you mean?" Qin Shaojun asked confused.
I saw Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi leaning slightly, pointing his finger at the location of the Lu family on the map, and asked Qin Shaojun: "Your Highness, Shaojun, do you know why that Wei Gongzi led an army of 170,000 people straight to the Lu family and stationed here?
What?"
"Because he adopts the tactic of "First Sichuan, then Qin", intending to destroy the Wuxu, Jie tribe, and Ling tribe first, and then finally start a war with our army... Therefore, he wants to attack the Lu family first." Qin Shaojun replied seriously.
Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi heard this and smiled and said: "Your Highness Shaojun, you were deceived by that Young Master Wei." After saying that, he explained seriously: "Young Master Wei decided to use the strategy of first Sichuan and then Qin. This is certainly not good, but he did not
It is necessary to bring a total of 170,000 troops to the Lu family. You
Look here, from Hangu to Luocheng, along the river, Hangu can lead directly to Luocheng. Logically speaking, Mr. Wei should station an army here to prevent our army from sneaking into Luocheng, but he didn't, as if...
…He deliberately left an open door for our army to attack Luocheng."
Having said this, he clicked on the Lu family on the map with his finger and continued: "Look at the Lu family, after passing this 'Changhao Mountain', there is a narrow valley road that can go straight from Lu family to Hanshan... If
Our army really couldn't resist the temptation and sent troops to attack Luocheng. Then,
Wei Gongzi Ji Run is bound to lead his army northward to cut off our army's return route... This is why he stationed 170,000 troops in Lu's family. In addition to attacking the Ling tribe and supporting Wei general Sima An, he also needs
One force is used to cut off our army's return route."
After hearing this, everyone in the tent looked thoughtful.
They must admit that Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi's judgment is reasonable.
In fact, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi's judgment was also very accurate. Although Zhao Hongrun focused his main energy on destroying the Wuxu, Jie, and Ling tribes first, in fact, he never neglected to be vigilant against the Hangu Qin army and sent people
Monitoring every move of the Qin army in Hangu.
Just as Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi had judged, the Wei army could not afford to delay this battle. Therefore, compared with the Wei and Qin armies who fought fiercely in Hangu for a year and a half, Zhao Hongrun was naturally more inclined to lure the Qin army into
Come out and deal with this Qin army in the plain or basin valley, instead of fighting the Qin army in Han Valley, which has favorable geographical location.
"...If what I predict is correct, Wei Gongzi Ji Run will send half of his troops to attack the Ling tribe, and the other half will stay with the Lu family, waiting for our army to lose patience and send troops to attack Luocheng to intercept our army's return.
Road... In this case, our army might as well follow the plan. General Wang Jian."
"The last general is here." Wang Jian, the deputy general, heard the sound and said, clasping his fists.
I saw Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi point his finger at "Han Valley" on the map, and said in a deep voice: "After the meeting, you immediately summon your soldiers and drive directly to Luocheng along the river. If it is as I expected, after learning about this,
, Wei Gongzi Ji Run will definitely divide the remaining troops into two. One force will go straight to Han Valley from the south path of "Chang Hao Mountain" to cut off your return, and the other force will
Return to Luocheng to aid... And in this way, the Lu family's defense will naturally be empty. Please go south after passing through Xiaoshan, and sneak attack the Wei army who was attacking the Ling tribe at that time, and then join up with the Ling tribe's troops.
Capture the Lu family and cut off the return path of Wei general Sima An!...We must kill Wei general Sima An before the Wei master returns to help."
Listening to Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi's strategic narration, Lieutenant General Wang Jian's expression changed continuously.
It has to be said that Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi's strategy is very dangerous, and it is very likely that he will be surrounded by the Wei army. However, it is undeniable that if everything goes well, the Qin army may really devour Wei General Sima An and all his troops in one go.
commanded 50,000 cavalry.
"X...obey!"
After regaining his composure, Wang Jian responded with a straight face.
