The expression on Guan Ying's face became very tangled. For a moment, he didn't know what to plan. He knew very well that if he stayed in Sanshui County and allowed Yingbo's army to attack Zitong County, what if Zitong County
Did it fall?
This is Guan Ying’s concern.
There are also certain problems if you pursue.
This is the worry of infant feeding.
So no matter what, it is the hardest choice.
"call!!"
Guan Ying breathed a long sigh of relief. He was not a hesitant person. After thinking carefully, he made a decision and said, "Then let's not pursue him. We will stay in Sanshui County."
"The general is wise!"
Lin Ping immediately spoke.
Under the current circumstances, staying in Sanshui County is the best choice.
This is Lin Ping's view.
After Guan Ying made the decision, he stopped killing the prisoners, took them all into custody, returned to the city, and stationed himself in the city.
This news soon reached the ears of Wang Can, who was traveling south.
Wang Can got the news and ordered the army to rest where it was.
He called Han Xin, Yingbu, Qifuluo, Luo Cheng and Mu Guiying together and said in a deep voice: "Guan Ying will no longer slaughter prisoners, and he will not send troops to stop us. What should we do next?"
Luo Cheng, Qifuluo, Mu Guiying and others all remained silent.
All eyes fell on Han Xin.
Han Xin looked neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Under the current circumstances, we definitely cannot retreat to Wuzhi Peak. So what we have to do next is to take advantage of the trend and go south, take over the territory of Guanghan County in one go, and isolate Sanshui County."
Wang Can ordered: "Come here, bring the map!"
"Here!"
The soldiers received the order and immediately went to make arrangements.
After a while, soldiers came with a map of Guanghan County.
Wang Can pointed to the location of Sanshui County in Guanghan County on the map and said: "It's at least a month's journey from here to Zitong County southward. We have to walk for such a long time, on the one hand, it is the loss of military morale; on the other hand,
It's the consumption of food. The two reasons add up, and it's not easy to reach Zitong County. So how should we take advantage of the trend to go south?"
Han Xin also had a solemn expression on his face.
He proposed a general strategy but no detailed implementation plan.
This is something that needs to be solved urgently right now.
Wang Can rolled his eyes and ordered: "There is really no way to solve the current situation. Under such circumstances, we will first go south and then consider other strategies. In short, avoid Sanshui County first.
Fight with Guan Ying."
Han Xin said: "This is the only way."
When everyone heard the words, they all had no opinions and all agreed.
When everyone agreed, Wang Can immediately issued an order and led the army south. As he went south, he sent out sentries to find out the news first.
After walking less than twenty miles, a sentinel suddenly came riding back.
"Report!"
The sentry galloped and shouted loudly. Wherever he passed, the soldiers moved out of the way and allowed the sentry to run forward. After a while, the sentry came to Wang Can and reported: "Your Majesty, the front line
Urgent report, there is an army that has been escorting food and is heading towards Sanshui County. It is still about fifteen miles away from us."
"Food team?"
Wang Can's eyes lit up and he said: "How much food do you estimate?"
The sentry agent said: "At least 30,000 shi of grain, and there are nearly a thousand soldiers responsible for escorting them."
After Wang Can heard this, he thought in his heart.
This is an opportunity.
It was even an opportunity to defeat Guan Ying.
Wang Can looked at Han Xin who was riding his horse and said seriously: "General Han, there are two teams coming not far ahead, heading towards Sanshui County. In my opinion, this is an excellent opportunity.
I am ready to attack this food team and cut off the food channel for feeding the infants."
Han Xin said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I also suggest that we seize the food of this army immediately. As long as we seize this batch of food, on the one hand, our soldiers will have food, and on the other hand, the power of Guan Ying will be weakened."
Wang Can said: "What I am thinking about now is what should I do after taking this batch of grain? Should I continue to go south to Zitong County, or should I change direction and go north to Sanshui County?"
Han Xin said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that after seizing this batch of grain, we will go north. When we were in Sanshui County, your Majesty led troops to seize part of the grain. With the number of troops under Guan Ying's command, a large amount of grain will be consumed every day.
Food. As long as we capture this batch of food, Guan Ying's soldiers will soon be short of food."
Wang Can said: "Are you planning to use food to disrupt the morale of the army?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Han Xindao: "However, although we have to take advantage of the trend and go north, for external propaganda, we still have to send a few soldiers and let a few soldiers go south to pretend to attack Zitong County. Only in this case can we have a surprise effect.
"
Wang Can said: "What General Han said is true."
Wang Can agreed with Han Xin's strategy.
Attacking from the east and west, ostensibly heading south to Zitong County, but actually quietly returning to Sanshui County, trying to ambush Guan Ying's soldiers. This was an excellent strategy for victory.
Now that the strategy was decided, Wang Can also quickly mobilized his troops and arranged for this battle.
This battle requires an ambush.
All the soldiers under Wang Can's command lay in ambush, waiting quietly for the arrival of the food team. Time passed little by little, and towards evening, the team escorting the food team arrived.
The whole procession was winding and long.
The carriages transporting this food are like long snakes.
The soldiers responsible for escorting were on the side for protection.
However, despite this, the soldiers responsible for protection did not feel in danger. Their location was in the heart of Yizhou, the heart of Guanghan County, and it was difficult to attack.
Therefore, even if there is plenty of food, the defense is not very tight.
The team advanced little by little.
Soon after, when the team escorting the grain passed the ambush site in the center, the horn suddenly sounded. As the horn sounded, Luo Cheng took the lead and led 300 cavalry to fight out. The horses of these 300 cavalry,
They are all held in the mouth of the war horse to prevent the war horse from making any noise.
Three hundred elite cavalry appeared on the battlefield, shocking the soldiers escorting the food team.
They didn't expect that cavalry would suddenly appear.
"Be alert! Prepare for war!"
Among the soldiers of the Han army, there was a captain who shouted loudly. Following the captain's shout, all the soldiers responsible for food security quickly gathered together, hoping to stop the cavalry from killing them.
But after Luo Cheng came out, another group of soldiers came out from behind the team.
The front of the food team was led by Han Xin himself. He led his soldiers to cover up and kill the soldiers at the front, completely disrupting the rhythm of the entire food team.
At the rear of the food team, Wang Can led another army to fight out.
The army led by Wang Can rushed out from the rear, blocking the retreat of the food convoy.
The three-way robbery and killing completely disrupted the rhythm of the food escort team.
In particular, Wang Can, Luo Cheng, Han Xin and others were all fierce generals on the battlefield. They were all extremely ferocious and carried weapons to kill. They easily defeated the soldiers escorting the food team and won the victory.
In less than an hour, the fighting was over.
Wang Can immediately asked the soldiers to count the battlefield and losses. After the soldiers finished cleaning up, they found that the losses in this battle were not great. Only more than thirty people were killed, but a large amount of food was harvested.
Wang Can arranged the food and followed Han Xin's strategy. On the one hand, he sent a small group of soldiers to go north. On the other hand, he personally led the main force to go north, and then went to Sanshui County again.
On the way to Sanshui County, Wang Can asked people to go back to Sanshui County to spread the news.
Spread the news that the army was attacked and food was lost.
For soldiers stationed in Sanshui County, food is the most fundamental strategic material. If there is no food, riots will immediately occur, especially since the arsenals and granaries in Sanshui County have been patronized, and the remaining
There is not much food and weapons.
It will be very difficult for Sanshui County to supply the troops for infant feeding.
Therefore, when the news came out that the rear grain team was robbed and killed, it immediately caused a sensation.
The army quickly became panicked.
There was already a shortage of food in the army. As soon as the news of the lack of food came out, many soldiers were worried. Just because of this incident, the leaders of the army went to report the news to Guan Ying one by one, hoping that Guan Ying could come forward to stabilize the situation.
After Guan Ying learned about it, he did not make an immediate decision. Instead, he called Lin Ping and took the initiative to tell him about the attack on the grain team. Then he said: "Sir, all the soldiers we escorted the grain were killed.
Not only that, but they were also robbed. Now the army is discussing the news of food shortage. What should we do about this matter?"
Lin Ping said: "The current situation is really difficult to handle. I can estimate that this must be Wang Can and his party who have seized our food and intended to cut off our retreat."
Guan Ying said: "Sir, regardless of whether the road to the rear was made by Wang Can or not. The problem we are facing now is to solve the current crisis and stabilize the morale of the soldiers in the army. This is the most important thing."
Lin Ping rolled his eyes, thinking about how to deal with it.
After a while, Lin Ping asked: "General, do you have any news about Wang Can?"
Guan Ying said: "Not yet."
After a pause, Guan Ying asked: "Sir, do you think there is any news about this matter with Wang Can?"
"It must be Wang Can!"
Lin Ping's eyes sparkled.
He believed that Wang Can had captured this batch of transported food. After Wang Can captured the food, his troops were strengthened. It was most likely that he had withdrawn his troops and then fought with the army again.
This is Wang Can's plan.
Because Guan Ying retreated to Sanshui County, Wang Can had no choice but to attack and could only watch us stay in Sanshui County. So the current situation is exactly what Wang Can wants to see most.
Guan Ying said in a deep voice: "Sir, regardless of whether it is Wang Can or not, under such circumstances, I will interrupt the march south. Because there is no food, our army is short of food, which will lead to the collapse of the army. Therefore, now we need
It's a solution. Do you have a solution?"
Lin Ping sighed in his heart.
Now, he has become a solver of difficult and complicated diseases, because every issue is not easy to solve and is the most difficult. (To be continued)
