Once a war breaks out, it will be a decisive battle, a decisive battle that will be fought quickly!
If the Han Dynasty wanted to conquer the Northern Zhou Dynasty, or if the Northern Zhou Dynasty wanted to conquer the Han Dynasty, they could only advance the battle line to the heart of the enemy as quickly as possible after the battle began, in order to truly hit the enemy and obtain the supplies they needed.
For example, the Han Dynasty needed to fight all the way to the north of the river in order to obtain enough food from the Yecheng area to support the next stage of the war. The same was true for the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
When the Northern Zhou Dynasty conquered the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was not because of the victory in the tug-of-war in Luoyang, but because the Northern Zhou army quickly crossed the river from the north into Jinyang and outflanked Yecheng, and finally won.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty is now on the defensive, and it is natural to dare not think about attacking. However, we must be more vigilant to prevent the Han army from making a sudden attack. Once Luoyang, Huaibei and other places south of the river are lost, the Han army will not be able to forcefully cross the river with its powerful navy.
What a difficult thing, once the river is breached, Yecheng, the heart of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, will be ravaged by the Han army.
Therefore, Yuchijiong must not take it lightly now. A little negligence on his part may very well lead to the collapse of the entire defense line from Tongguan to Luoyang.
There is always calm before the storm.
The silence in Huayin made Yuchijiong feel uneasy.
He was really afraid of being caught off guard.
"Perhaps it's because Nanman has some problems that haven't been solved yet." Sima Xiaonan, who was standing next to Yuchi Jiong, said in a deep voice.
The most capable civil servant around Yuchi Jiong should be Li Hui, and besides the military commander who stayed in Luoyang for a fee, he should be Sima Xiaonan. Before Yuchishun raided the Han army, it was Sima Xiaonan who led the infantry to the rear. As a result, Yuchi
Shun was defeated and captured. Sima Xiaonan gathered the defeated troops in time and finally prevented the Han army from taking advantage of the situation and directly broke into Tongguan. After that, Sima Xiaonan took up residence in Tongguan and confronted the Han army.
Yuchi Jiong came to Tongguan with his carriage, and Li Hui stayed in Luoyang as a long history officer. Therefore, the only person Yuchi Jiong could rely on was Sima Xiaonan, who was still somewhat talented.
Cao Xiaoda, Yu Chishun and others whom I originally trusted have either died in battle or been captured, and I am already old. The remaining generals are not victorious generals. They are required to coordinate and guard the situation.
Luoyang's passes, large and small, are bound to have loopholes, but looking at the current Northern Zhou Dynasty, there are only so many people available, and they are basically all veterans who once followed His Highness King Qi.
Now the gap between the north and the south in the world has become more and more obvious, and people's minds have changed. Even if they know that most of the aristocratic families in the south have disappeared, the thoughts of the northern aristocratic families will also tilt towards the Han Dynasty. There is no way, let alone who allows the Han Dynasty to occupy the orthodoxy.
Is it far more powerful than the north? What's more, the current north is actually the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty, while the Han Dynasty is the sum of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty, and even has territory farther south.
The Northern Qi Dynasty did not block the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Can the Northern Zhou Dynasty now block the Han Dynasty?
The answer is obvious.
After all, the aristocratic families have to consider their own lives. It is better to become a mortal than to be buried for the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, most of the aristocratic families in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were obedient to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If they asked for money or food, they would still give it. But their own
Fewer and fewer of his disciples appeared in the court, and it was clear that everyone was beginning to have a clear relationship with the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Money and food can explain that they are forced. Even if the big man is really accountable, he can't do anything to them. But once his own children become officials, it is not a question of being forced or not. A principled mistake has been made.
, but there is no chance of redress.
Therefore, there are fewer and fewer ministers under Yu Wenxian nowadays. Of course, these guys give various reasons. Some say that it is the death of an elder in the family. Although it is a side branch, I am afraid that the elder has not even met a few times. Some say that it is him.
I'm sick, and even more ruthless, I broke my legs directly. I can't even walk anyway, so you won't carry me to Prince Qi's Mansion every day, right?
All these things make people laugh and laugh, and of course they can’t help but feel that the end is coming.
As for how Yu Wenxian wanted to save it, Yuchi Jiong, as an important minister, certainly got the wind.
It's very simple, proclaim yourself emperor.
Indeed, proclaiming himself emperor is a good way to win over people and save your prestige.
But now that Yu Wenxian wants to proclaim himself emperor, it is very cowardly. At least there must be no excessive reaction from the big men. Previously, Yu Chijiong ordered his scouts to provoke a provocation because he was instructed by Yu Wenxian to test Li Xingchen's attitude.
Although Yu Chijiong felt that this was not necessarily a good idea, time was running out now and he didn't have to worry about so much. At least this kind of strategy was not a fool's errand. What is even more "touching" now is that the big man seems to really
This exposed its own internal contradictions.
It's best to live in peace, but
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for so many years, Yu Chijiong feels that everything will not be so simple.
There is no harm in a quick victory for a big man. Why did Li Xingchen choose to delay it like this? Is this true or is it just confusion?
"No matter what happens to the Nanman, we must be careful." Yuchijiong sighed.
I hope that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will have the same idea as me.
"General," an aide walked over quickly and said in a low voice, "there is a blue dragon appearing on the river outside the sliding platform, and a giant turtle floating in the white ditch."
"What?" Yuchi Jiong and Sima Xiaonan were both startled, and when they looked at each other, they could see the complicated expressions on both sides.
Huatai, also known as Dongjun, is located between Puyang and Xinxiang in later generations. It is located on the south bank of the river. It forms an angle with Liyang County on the north bank of the river and Jijun on the southwest side, guarding the river, and passing through Huatai and Liyang.
, to the north is Yecheng!
Therefore, the river outside the sliding platform can almost be said to be the section of the river closest to Yecheng.
As for Baigou, let alone it. It was originally a river outside Yecheng.
This is auspiciousness.
Two auspicious men, it goes without saying that they know what Yu Wenxian wants to do!
"What a coincidence." Yu Chijiong sighed.
There is nothing to hide in front of his cronies.
The next step is to go to the table of persuasion.
As a veteran of several dynasties, Yuchi Jiong is considered to have rich experience.
Is it just that Yu Wenxian was too hasty?
"When a general is guarding one side, he must have done a lot of good work from the dragon. Just give him some advice." Sima Xiaonan said after careful consideration. At this time, only Yuchi Jiong made the first move, and the other generals under his command could follow suit.
Yuchi Jiong was silent for a long time, and then nodded.
You can't oppose it, so just hurry up.
Driven by the general trend, it really gives people a feeling that they can't help themselves.
I just don’t know whether the front of the spring tide is an open world or a towering reef?
But being trapped in it, no matter what it is, we can only move forward.
