Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, asked his general Che Yudao in surprise.
I saw Zi Cheyu clasping his fists and saying in a low voice: "Master, we all know that the Wei State has six permanent military camps, which are located in Nanyan, Chenggao, Dangshan, Suiyang, and Fen.
Xingsai and Daliang are the six
It is a strategically important place, and the soldiers of the Junshui Camp in the Wei camp at the moment are exactly the troops originally stationed in Daliang, the capital of Wei State... In other words, Daliang, the capital of Wei State, is currently empty of defenses, and it may be possible.
Take advantage of the opportunity?"
"..." Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo frowned when he heard this, and asked somewhat unhappily: "You mean to attack Daliang with troops?"
"Exactly." Zi Cheyu replied in a deep voice.
Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, glanced at Zi Cheyu with disappointment, shook his head and said, "If you are that Ji Run, after you drive your troops deep into the hinterland of Wei State, all you have to do is cut off your return route and stop the army's food and grass transportation.
When the time comes, you will have troops but no food, what can you do?
Daliang?...Don't forget, Daliang is the capital of the Wei State after all. The city is rich in resources. Even if there is no soldier, you can still hold on for a while as long as you urgently recruit the people in the city. And you, when the food route is cut off,
How many days can we attack?"
His words could be regarded as rejecting Zi Cheyu's suggestion.
However, Zi Cheyu did not give up, and chuckled in a low voice: "The master is pointing to the land route, but the general is pointing to the water route."
"Waterway?" Mr. Yangcheng was stunned when he heard this, as if he remembered something.
At this time, I heard Zi Cheyu explain in a deep voice: "Daliang, the capital of Wei State, has waterways extending in all directions, with the Yellow River running from the east to the west, and the Cai River to the south, and this Cai River leads directly to Yingshui... In other words, we
The army can go straight upstream from the Ying River, pass through the Cai River, and reach Daliang, the capital of Wei State. The boats of Wei State are strong and powerful, and they are not as powerful as mine. If we are on the water, who can cut off our army's food route?"
"..." Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo was moved when he heard this. He immediately stood up from his seat and paced back and forth in the tent. He kept chanting the word "zhouchuan" in his mouth.
It is true that Chu State is not the strongest in infantry warfare, and even Chu State has almost no cavalry. But on the other hand, when it comes to boat and water battles, Chu State is ahead of other countries in the world, even Qi and Lu.
The allied forces of the state did not dare to fight the Chu army near the water.
When Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, attacked Wei this time, because Wei did not have any navy that could be used in river and lake operations, and in order to fight steadily, Xiong Tuo did not dare to go too deep into the hinterland of Wei, so the navy under his command, to be precise,
It should be that the group of boats were all docked at the place where the three water veins of Cai River, Li River, and Ying River merged into one place, which is Chen County, the land of Sanchuan.
"Chen County..." Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo murmured to himself.
Once upon a time, because Chen County was located close to Xiangcheng, it was originally the territory of Xiong Ren, the king of Xiangcheng.
At that time, Xiong Ren built a fleet in Chen County to transport a large amount of materials from Yingshui County through Yingshui to the territory of Xiong Sheng, the Liyang Lord he supported. This move made Xiong Tuo very unhappy.
After all, in Xiong Tuo's view, he, Xiong Ren, the Lord of Xiangcheng, and Xiong Hu, the Lord of Pingyu, all have very close territories. Therefore, it stands to reason that Xiong Ren, the Lord of Xiangcheng, should support him instead of Xiong, the Lord of Liyang.
Sheng.
I remember that at that time, Xiong Tuo was committed to wooing Xiong Chengjun, a brother of the Xiong clan. But unfortunately, the latter did not change his family and join his subordinate Xiong Tuo.
Seeing this, just as Qu Cheng revealed to Zhao Hongrun, Xiong Tuo did not stop doing anything, spent a lot of money to buy a beautiful woman, and gave it to Xiong Ren through the hand of Xiong Hu, Lord Pingyu. Not only did he design to kill Xiong
He also tried every means to lead Xiong Hu, Lord Pingyu, to seize Xiong Ren's territory.
Now, the territory of the original Xiangcheng lord Xiong Ren, including Chen County, has been annexed by Pingyu lord Xiong Hu. Afterwards, Xiong Tuo built a huge shipyard in Chen County, where he built warships and trained sailors.
military.
But because of this incident, Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, and Xiong Sheng, the king of Liyang, almost turned against each other. However, the latter's status in the mind of the king of Chu was obviously inferior to that of Xiong Tuo. This made Xiong Tuo kill his brothers of the same clan and instigate
Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu's practice of annexing the territories of his brothers was widely criticized by the other aristocratic children of the Xiong clan.
It's hard to say whether this is a gain or a loss: territory is gained, but people's hearts are lost.
"Deploying Chen County's warships?"
Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo paced back and forth in the tent, thinking about the feasibility of Zi Che Yu's plan.
It is undeniable that if the Wei soldiers from the Junshui camp are still stationed in Daliang, then even if the Chu army's warships approach Daliang, they will not be enough to shake Daliang.
But now, the Wei soldiers from the Junshui Camp have moved out of Daliang and are stationed at Yan River, leaving Daliang's defense empty. At this time, it is indeed a good idea to order a warship to go upstream and attack Daliang directly from the Cai River.
but……
As if he thought of something, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, turned to Zi Cheyu and asked: "With just a fleet of warships, are you sure you can make Daliang surrender?"
Hearing this, Zi Cheyu shook his head and said: "Sir, the last general did not really intend to attack Daliang. The last general just wanted to make the King of Wei and the Wei court feel threatened..."
"Feinting to attack a suspected soldier?"
"Exactly!" Zi Cheyu nodded and added: "Daliang is the capital of Wei State, where the king of Wei is located, and where the Wei court is located. It is just like when Chu was attacked by the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Song.
Likewise, as long as the people of Wei are still alive, they will never let our army conquer Daliang... Of course, the general does not expect to capture this city, he just hopes to force Daliang to ask for help."
Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "Junshui Camp? Do you want to force the Wei soldiers in Junshui Camp to return to defend Daliang?"
"Young Master is wise." Zi Cheyu praised his lord a little, and then said solemnly: "If we can force the Wei soldiers in Junshui Camp to return to defense, no matter how impregnable the Wei camp in the north is, it will only be in name only."
"Hmm." Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuoshen nodded in agreement.
Because according to the information revealed by the defeated soldiers, the Yanshui camp of the Wei army only had 20,000 Wei soldiers from the Junshui camp and 10,000 Yanling soldiers at best, for a total of 30,000 people.
In Xiong Tuo's view, if Zi Cheyu's ingenious plan could force the Wei soldiers in Junshui camp to return to defend Daliang, then why should Prince Su Ji Run hold on to the camp with only 10,000 Yanling soldiers?
When the time comes, Xiong Tuo will have many ways to deal with the camp with only 10,000 people left.
"Okay! Okay! Okay..."
Just when he was about to shout three good words in a row to express his joy, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, suddenly thought of something, frowned and said, "But... what if the Wei soldiers from the Dredging Camp don't return to defend Daliang?"
After hearing this, Zi Cheyu said with conviction: "Sir, the Wei State only has six permanent military camps in Nanyan, Chenggao, Dangshan, Suiyang, Fenxingsai, and Daliang. The rest of the guards are just empty.
They are just security guards with combat experience, send that
How can these rabble-rousers stop my army? ... Among these six military camps, the Wei people in Nanyan and Chenggao will never dare to move lightly. After all, they have to beware of South Korea in the north; and the Song generals who surrendered to Wei
Nangong, the Suiyang army he led is currently fighting against Gu.
Lingjun Xiong Wu fought; and before the battle started, the young master had sent a partial army to hold back the Wei State at Fenxing fortress. Now in the Wei State, only the Dangshan Military Camp can be dispatched... However, the Dangshan Military Camp is not necessarily brave.
Move lightly, the Dangshan military camp is now sitting on the mountain
Watch the tiger fight, always pay attention to the battle situation between the Suiyang army in Nangong and Xiong Wu, Lord of Guling, and always be ready to send troops to rescue. If the Dangshan military camp returns to rescue Daliang, Wei may face the end of the entire Song Dynasty being annihilated. I believe that the Wei court
You should understand this."
"There is no guarantee that the Wei imperial court will actually order the Dredging Camp to return to Daliang and not the Dangshan Camp." Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, seemed a little hesitant.
After all, if the Wei court really chooses to return to the Dangshan camp, then the situation on the side of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, will not improve. Instead, he will make a wedding dress for his political opponent, Lord Xiong Wu of Guling.
Once Gulingjun Xiong Wu really defeated the Suiyang army of Nangong and occupied the entire Song Dynasty, thus gaining the favor of their brother's father, King Chu, then Xiong Tuo's future life may not be easy.
In other words, the suggestion put forward by Zi Cheyu would be a gamble for Xiong Tuo, betting that after Daliang was attacked, the Wei imperial court ordered the Junshui camp to return for reinforcements instead of the Dangshan camp.
Forget it... Even if the Dangshan camp is the one who finally comes back to support Daliang, causing me to make a wedding dress for that guy Xiong Wu, I can tell you the same thing in the future and I can always get some military merit back...
After pondering for a long time, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Hu finally made up his mind: "Okay! Just as you said! ... By the way, you just said that this strategy is dangerous. If it doesn't go well, tens of thousands of soldiers may be killed in an instant.
Losing one's life, how do you say this?"
After hearing this, Zi Cheyu's face straightened and he said seriously: "General Mo is worried that the Wei people will build a dam on the Cai River to store water. After all, the warships led by Mo General will pass through the Cai River. If the Wei people open the dam and release the water at that time,
, or it may cause the destruction of my fleet, ships and people..."
Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.
"I thought you were worried about something, but it turned out to be this."
Shaking his head, Xiong Tuo said with relief: "It's winter now, and the water in various places is not turbulent. It's not easy to build dams to store enough water. Don't say that the Wei people don't know about this, even if the Wei people know it now.
I have followed your plan and sent troops to build a dam on the Cai River to store water at this time, but it will not be able to store much water... Don't worry!"
"I hope so."
Zi Cheyu nodded and took a long breath.
For some reason, when he proposed this obviously good strategy, he always felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.
That night, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, ordered people to go to Chen County and mobilize warships and warships docked in the waters near Chen County.
Two days later, countless warships and warships went northward up the Cai River, first arriving at the intersection of the Yan River and the Cai River.
Seeing this, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, ordered his son, Cheyu, to lead 30,000 soldiers under his command, board the warships, and continue up the Cai River, heading straight for Daliang, the capital of Wei.
That day, I saw warships on the Cai River, and there was an endless stream of warships, like a swimming dragon, heading straight towards the north.
This scene frightened the Wei soldiers who were fetching water by the Yan River and preparing to transport it to the camp for cooking. They all looked at the spectacular fleet of warships and even the buckets in their hands fell into the river without realizing it.
