Han Xin had to admit that the "Wing Camp" that the regent tinkered with last month was indeed of great use.
Not only the food, but also the accumulated "four grains" are communicated with Xianyang, the grain road, and the grains, so that the three armies will not be sleepy, and they can even calculate clearly how much food the army will need to maintain the battle.
They are not just military lawmen, flags and drums, and warriors. They are either experienced old officials who have fought in more fortresses than Han Xin has fought, or they are military officers who are ruthless and ruthless. They are classified according to different levels.
He took charge of the rewards, punishments, order and other details of the camp. At least Han Xin didn't have to worry about the punishment of more than twenty soldiers.
"General Han, the most detailed maps of Hedong are all here."
The three people responsible for "supervising the movement and movement of the three armies" were also very efficient. What they sent to Han Xin was far more than the general map of Hedong County stored in the Yushi Mansion during the time of Emperor Qin Shi Huang:
Hedong County, with Xicheng Mountain and Wangwu Mountain to the south, stretches across the north bank of the river, overlooking the Central Plains, surrounded by many rivers and Huihe River on its right; Zhangshui, surrounded by Beshui on its left, can be used for agricultural irrigation and is conducive to canal operation.
Exit; if you go west to Jindu River, you can reach the hinterland of Guandong, go south to Zhongtiao Mountain, go to Hanoi, pass Mengjin, and reach Sanchuan Liangdi, and pass through Shangdang Mountains, and east to Taihang, you can overlook the core area of Zhao...
…
It is such a battleground for military strategists, but it actually has a developed culture and economy. As the ruins of Tang Yao and Xia dynasties, the two places have a long history. They were also cultivated by the Jin Dynasty, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, for many years. Now the land is fertile and the people
Xianjian has 136,896 households and a population of 692,900. There are 20 counties and two large counties with 10,000 households. They are:
In Anyi County, Wuxian Mountain is in the south and Yanchi is in the southwest. Wei Jiang moved here from Wei Dynasty until King Wei Hui moved to Daliang. There are Tieguan and Yanguan, which are the county offices.
Pingyang County was home to Zhenzi, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. It was originally the capital of South Korea, and was later annexed by Qin Dynasty. It had iron officials and became the northern part of the county together with the northern city of Taiyuan.
There are four counties close to the river crossing: Puban, Fenyin, Ruicheng, and Xiayang, which correspond to Pujin, Longmen, Fenling, and Maojin respectively.
There are also Gencang and Shicang in Hedong, both of which are large warehouses with 100,000 shi of grain, respectively located in Puban and Anyi.
All the above information is embodied in the new map surveyed and mapped by the envoys under the orders of the regent: in addition to the distance between the city roads and how long it takes for the enemy armies to support each other, there is also the outline of the terrain.
Tai, Jieshan, Zhongtiao, mountains and rivers are all restored very well, as if looking down from the sky.
“It’s really every detail!”
This is Han Xin's evaluation. He is from Huainan. He has never been to Hedong before and is not familiar with the mountains and landforms there. He can get such a most accurate map of Hedong in half a month. For him,
Very helpful.
This is also the purpose of Heifu setting up the Femoral Wings. It is impossible to fight every battle by relying on the commander's sudden inspiration. Without good generals, he can only fight blindly.
Instead of doing this, it is better to gather the wisdom and talents of everyone, prepare all the details, and formulate a military plan, so that the generals only need to consider how to implement the plan and create victory.
The mountains and terrain are dead, but the enemy's deployment is alive. The guard Ji Ying personally selected and trained a group of Hedong refugee scholars to return to Hedong, collect intelligence from all places, and then use a certain person who can freely move in and out of the Wei army.
"Youshi" handed back the information to let Han Xin know the opponent's movements.
But who the mysterious traveler was, not even Han Xin knew.
However, all the above are peripheral personnel. They have the responsibility of providing intelligence and handling miscellaneous tasks, but they have no right to know the military situation.
The core personnel of the Feather Wing Battalion are twelve military officers who have been screened and reviewed at all levels and determined to be loyal to Xia Gong. They are called "staff officers". They may also teach the similarities and differences of ancient military use, success or failure, and concise weapons.
, the assassination is illegal. Or the master may do something strange, set up something different, make endless changes, and put forward some bold suggestions.
At this moment, under the leadership of Chen Hui, they discussed the military strategy for Hedong in front of Han Xin.
Staff officer Yang Wu suggested this: "According to the Hedong line report, Wei Prime Minister Zhang Er took command in Anyi, and sent General Zhou Shu, deputy generals Zhao Cheng, and Baizhi to guard the ferry, facing Xihe and Ningqin, with deep ditches and high fortresses to transport grain.
He accumulates armor and wants to defend his territory."
The current situation is that if you want to reach the east of the river, you must cross the river, and where to cross becomes the key.
The river is a natural and dangerous pass, and the number of ferries is limited. They can only send thousands of people across at a time. If they cross against the enemy's main force, the forwards will be attacked halfway across the river. Attacking the river bank from above will inevitably cause heavy losses. If a bridgehead base cannot be established, there will be no way.
Building a pontoon bridge to connect the rear troops and crossing the river will surely lead to failure.
There are four Jindu ferries that can transport tens of thousands of people across the river: Puban, Longmen, Fenling, and Maojin.
Puban is the first choice for travel between Guanzhong and Hedong in peacetime, but if it is too obvious, the enemy will definitely station heavy troops for defense, and the staff prefer to set up suspicious troops in Puban and force the crossing from another place.
"Zhang Er saw that our army was gathered at the Xihe River. Chen Chuan wanted to cross the Jin Dynasty, so he must lead the army to Pu Ban and block the Jin Dynasty."
"And I can take advantage of their large army to arrive at Pu Ban, and the ambush troops will cross from Longmen in Xia Yang, defeat their partial division, and attack Anyi."
"Crossing the road openly and secretly?"
Han Xin nodded, but then shook his head. He didn't know that in the original history, he relied on this attack from the east to the west to win the battle to destroy the Western Wei Dynasty, but now, the situation is obviously different.
"Although this strategy is good, it can only deceive Zhang Er, but Uncle Zhou cannot hide it from anyone."
"who?"
"Zhao General Li Zuoche."
Last autumn, Han Xin had an indirect battle with Li Zuoche of Taiyuan in Shangjun. He knew that this man was very sensitive to the situation of the battle and must not be careless. But he still remembered that the only stain on his defeat in the river was that he underestimated the enemy and half-crossed the river...
…
"Thanks to the regent's trust, Han Xin will never fail a second time!"
He pointed to the Fen army on the other side of Longmen Crossing: "A few months ago, when the Zhao army and the Wei army retreated from Xihe, they were ambushed by Dong Duwei at Longmen Crossing. They suffered a big loss. It was impossible for them to be undefended." Hedong Front reported
, Zhao troops continued to march from Taiyuan to Beiqu and Pishi, all in order to help defend the river bank. Li Zuoche knew that Taiyuan and Hedong were close to each other, so they sent Zhao soldiers to help Zhang Er guard the river bank.
What we are guarding against is our army sneaking into Longmen..."
“If you don’t choose Longmen, where should you cross?”
"Feng Ling?"
"Maojin?"
The staff gave their suggestions and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two places.
The advantage of Fenlingdu is that it is close to Guanzhong and it is convenient to move troops there. The disadvantage is that the enemy is also tightly defended on the other side and has eight thousand troops.
The advantage of Maojin is that the enemy's defense is slightly sparse, but the disadvantage is that it lacks ships.
But Han Xin smiled and said something incredible:
“Why do we have to use boats to cross the river?”
The staff members were all stunned. We couldn't let the soldiers swim over, right?
"Why not, I can cross it with my Xia Yang wooden poppy!"
The speaker was the deputy general of this battle, Dong Yi, the eastern captain of Neishi who was stationed at Xihe. A few months ago, his river boatmen used the large fou that was common near Xia Yang, tied them together with ropes, and then clamped them with wood, called
The "Wooden Poppet Fou", with its buoyancy, could carry several people without any problem. With this, they launched a surprise attack on Longmen Ferry and captured Zhao Gao.
"In addition to wooden poppets and fou, there are many ways to enable a small number of people to cross the river secretly."
But Han Xin did not want to explain in detail. He had the right to adopt the suggestions of his staff, but the final decision was in his own hands. He already knew how to fight this battle.
He pointed to his brain: "Second and third sons, don't be restricted by rules and regulations."
"The combined forces of Zhao and Wei only have 50,000 troops. Excluding the 10,000 who guard Anyi and Pingyang, the remaining 40,000 can defend the four Dajin crossings. But, can they defend the hundreds of miles of river banks?"
"Since there is no need for boats, where on this river bank that stretches for hundreds of miles can't ferry people?"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that although staff officers can concentrate their wisdom, they can easily fall into the constraints of military art and common sense.
In Han Xin's eyes, Hedong is now like a leaky sieve. It can block one big hole, but cannot block countless other small holes!
"In Linjin, we arranged ships and troops to attract the enemy's main force with great fanfare, and then sent people to Longmen to make preparations, pretending to be discovered by the other side, and concentrated the enemy forces in Puban and Longmen."
"And our army first took the people from Hedong who were eager to return home as the vanguard, used wooden poppies and sheepskin rafts to ferry 3,000 people across, attacked a township, completely disrupting the enemy's deployment in the south, and the army at Fenglingdu waited for an opportunity.
Cross the river!"
"General, where should we cross the vanguard?"
Han Xin asked everyone: "When did Qin reverse its repeated defeats against Wei?"
"When Qin Xiangong..." The staff looked at each other and said in unison:
"The Battle of Stone Gate!"
