Chapter 1332 There is no appearance of the governor
"It seems that we also need to adjust our strategy. We don't need Puban, but we must not completely force Yang Jian to a dead end." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Li Xingchen was only talking about Pu Ban, but once Pu Ban's strategy is adjusted, the arrangements and deployments of the entire Guanzhong will naturally be affected.
The Han army could not, at least not be able to withstand Yang Jian's most important counterattack, and even gave Yang Jian hints to guide him to escape.
Judging from the current situation, after Yang Jian went north, he actually lost the ability to compete with Li Xinchen or Yu Wenxian for the Central Plains. What Li Xinchen and Yu Wenxian really needed was the city of Chang'an.
To be honest, the evolution of the battle situation now exceeds Li Xingchen's expectations. Li Xingchen never thought that the battle would go so fast and smoothly. According to the Han's original plan, Wuguan should be captured before the summer, and then next year.
Then launch a fatal blow against Yang Jian. However, the evolution of the battle situation now forced Li Xingchen to adjust his strategic deployment.
When Yang Su put forward his more stable plan for the Guanzhong war situation, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Li Xinchen himself, agreed, but now the plan had to be changed. This also made Li Xinchen alert, which showed that he had great concerns about the world.
The grasp of the general trend is no longer as good as before, so we must cheer up.
There are three cobblers, but one is better than Zhuge Liang. Now that Li Xingchen is no longer Zhuge Liang, he naturally needs the help of more people.
"Let's go, we need to discuss how to fight the Battle of Guanzhong." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Yang Su and others raised their hands at the same time.
They also realized the seriousness of the matter. If they couldn't come up with a strategy as soon as possible, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie on the front line didn't know what the war situation would turn into.
At this time, he was far away in Qizhou, Guanzhong.
After the Han army captured Xiaoguan, the battle line had completely advanced to the Binzhou line. Han Qinhu and Cao Zhong also set up the Chinese army's main tent in Qizhou, which is far away from Hanzhong and Bashu, which support the rear of the entire northwest battlefield.
Closer. Xu Deyan and Niu Hong led their troops to garrison Binzhou.
Of course, being located in Qizhou is also to facilitate the incoming coach Pei Zilie, otherwise Pei Zilie would have to spend several days on the road.
The war horse neighed loudly and stopped in front of the government office.
The man on the horse was dusty, but his hands and feet were still neat and neat. Without waiting for his entourage to come over to help him, he got off the horse and walked straight to the government office.
"Who?!" the guard standing at the door of the government office asked competently.
The young man paused: "Pei Zilie, the Governor of Yongzhou, Han Dynasty!"
The guard exclaimed in surprise and hurried in to report. Soon Cao Zhong and Han Qinhu strode out to welcome him: "I'm here to see the Governor!"
They were discussing the future of the war, but they did not expect that Pei Zilie would arrive so quickly, and no one was sent to inform him in advance. Otherwise, Pei Zilie, the great governor and general on horseback, should have gone out ten miles from the city to meet him.
Cao Zhong was relatively familiar with Pei Zilie, but Han Qinhu had never dealt with Pei Zilie before, so he was inevitably a little nervous for a while.
Pei Zilie seemed to have noticed the change in the expressions of Cao Zhong and Han Qinhu, and couldn't help but laugh: "My water bag is empty after such a long journey, do you have any water to drink?"
When Pei Zilie said this, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
And Cao Zhong hurriedly made a gesture of invitation: "Commander, please!"
Pei Zilie handed the riding whip in his hand to the bodyguard and said with a smile: "I came here non-stop. I was afraid of delaying you. The war is urgent, so I skipped all the red tape."
Both Cao Zhong and Han Qinhu breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Cao Zhong had never served under Pei Zilie, and he only heard about the young general's character. Looking at it now, Pei Zilie was obviously not an unreasonable person.
.
And Han Qinhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As Li Xingchen's right-hand man, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie are both too young, and each of them is equally capable. Their abilities and experience may not be enough.
It fully matches the identity of their coach, but they are indeed making continuous progress.
No matter what time you are, youth is indeed capital.
Han Qinhu couldn't help but think of the time when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms. The eldest general Wang Jian was only over forty years old. The subsequent generals were all too young. Thirty years old was considered too old, and they were often in their twenties.
The young people have already taken on the important task of conquering the world and unifying the six countries. How similar is this scene to the current Han Dynasty?
On the other hand, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the people leading the charge were all veterans. How long can these veterans, whose ambitions have been worn away by successive wars, be able to sustain it?
I'm afraid Liang Rui and others are a good example, right?
"What is the situation in the northwest now? Didn't Li Yan counterattack?" Pei Zilie got straight to the point. He had already received the news that Xiao Shilian had taken Shangluo on the way. Xiao Shilian was moving so fast, so he couldn't slow down.
Especially the Queen Mother gave birth to a dragon son not long ago, which shows that the Han Dynasty has an official successor. They must also use their victory to congratulate His Majesty.
"Li Yan doesn't dare to counterattack now. Our troops have already deployed along the line from Qizhou to Binzhou, forming an encirclement of You Fufeng." Han Qinhu said hurriedly, "Captain, please see, Li Yan has reduced his troops and retreated to You Fufeng."
Fufeng, there should be 50,000 soldiers and horses in Huaili, the right Fufeng government office, but among these 50,000 soldiers and horses, there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses in the county on the north (today's Hu County). In addition, there should be many more in Feng Yi
With 30,000 troops and horses."
Pei Zilie frowned slightly.
The total is 90,000 or even nearly 100,000 troops.
After all, Yang Jian or the Northern Zhou Dynasty's confidence was deep enough. And now the Han army's total troops in the northwest should only be about 150,000. Minus the troops that need to defend the city, they can only use 11 to support the sky.
Twenty thousand does not have much strength advantage over the enemy. It is just that many of these Northern Zhou armies are rural soldiers with little combat effectiveness. But to defend the city, these soldiers do not need to have much field combat skills. They can lift stones and attack the enemy.
Even an ordinary young man can do this.
Li Yan obviously planned to rely on the city and the Han army to consume it. Anyway, as long as the Han army could lose its temper, he would naturally be able to make the Han army retreat on its own initiative.
"His Majesty has said before that we can rob Puban if we still have the strength, but from now on it seems unlikely." Pei Zilie said helplessly, "Now we must keep in touch with the hussar generals in the southeast. The two of us must keep in touch with each other.
The army must launch an attack at the same time."
"General Hussar is currently at Lantian, and he should be waiting for us, or waiting for the results from Huayin." Han Qinhu said hurriedly.
Xiao Shilian has always been a character who doesn't take any chances, so there is a high possibility that he is just waiting to reap the benefits.
