"This Pei Ju" Li Xingchen looked at the memorial sent from Yecheng and laughed, "If you don't see the rabbit, you won't let go of the eagle."
"The Wenxi Pei family is caught in the cracks, and it is difficult to survive. It is reasonable to be cautious," Yang Su said with a smile, "But once the benefits are obtained, they will definitely try their best to help the big man."
Li Xingchen nodded, as long as the Han army could kill Wenxi, then the Pei family would definitely give their full support to the Han even if they were ruined.
Pei's problem is no longer a big problem. The big problem now is how to fight the battle in Hedong.
Should there be a big fight or a small fight? Should we simply take advantage of the trend and attack across the board or should we focus on this point? How will Yu Wenxian react to this?
In fact, none of these Taiwei Mansion were accurate.
Now the Taiwei Mansion has only put forward a very vague plan. As for General Hussar leading his troops into Hedong to preside over the war in Hedong, that was just Tabata deceiving Pei Ju. Xiao Shilian was responsible for the entire defense line from Guanzhong to Luoyang.
Yes, Li Xingchen will definitely not let Xiao Shilian lead a partial army into Hedong. Firstly, there must be someone to take charge of the battle. If Xiao Shilian is involved in danger, no one will be qualified to take charge of it. Secondly, even if he attacks Hedong, the current big man will support it.
We couldn't afford to fight with tens of thousands of people, so the most we could do was send 10,000 to 20,000 troops, just with partial divisions along the way. Of course, it was impossible to let Xiao Shilian take command.
The generals below were all watching this job eagerly. There was no need for Xiao Shilian to compete with them for the position of head coach of the partial division.
He told Pei Ju that General Hussar would personally take command, just to comfort Pei Ju and make him feel that the big man was really going to attack Hedong with all his strength.
In fact, the central core of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was in Yecheng. Li Xinchen's attack on Hedong was no different than seeking the farther away. Especially now that everything on the south bank of the river was in the hands of the Han army. He could break into Yecheng by crossing the river. Why bother to cross Taihang after taking Hedong?
?
Which of Taihang and Baxing is vegetarian?
Therefore, the partial divisions entering Hedong will also turn north to attack Jinyang instead of going east to cooperate with the Han army in attacking Yecheng. The 100,000 Han troops on the east route cannot share the credit for attacking Yecheng.
If we go all the way to seize the credit, I'm afraid Pei Zilie and Wu Huijue will have objections.
"Who will lead this group of soldiers and horses, and where should they cross the river? What does the Taiwei Mansion think?" Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Attacking Jinyang and protecting the Pei family are all long-term goals. The most important thing at the moment is to be able to cross the river.
The Northern Zhou army on the opposite side would definitely not watch the Han army cross the river.
Yang Su stretched out his hand and tapped on the sand table: "Your Majesty, when entering the east of the river, choose Fenglingdu first."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. He was quite familiar with Fenglingdu. After all, it was also a famous ferry on the Yellow River. Fenglingdu is located in the south of Puban, backed by Zhongtiao Mountain, with high winds and strong waves. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.
In the beginning, Yuwentai and Gao Huan had a confrontation with Fenglingdu. In the end, Yuwentai defeated Gao Huan, thus forming the advantage of the Northern Zhou Dynasty over the Northern Qi Dynasty.
There are already many Northern Zhou troops stationed in Puzhou outside Puban. Choosing Puban to cross the river is obviously going to hit the target, so Fenglingdu naturally becomes the best choice.
In particular, although Fenglingdu is facing Henan, it is at the corner of the Yellow River. The water flow is very fast, so there are not many defensive troops on the north and south sides. After all, this is not suitable for large armies to cross the river. However, it is indeed the best place to use the partial division to send surprise troops.
Best choice.
"After crossing Fenglingdu, where should we go?"
"When we lead troops to the north to attack Puzhou, I also think that the direction of Puban must be restrained, thus forming a pincer attack on Puzhou." Yang Su said directly, "Since Yu Wenxian has led troops to support Puzhou, let him
His soldiers and horses have come and gone all the way."
Li Xingchen laughed and looked at Yang Su.
Okay, you still have selfish motives.
If a diversionary attack is also launched from Puban, then this task must be handed over to the Guanzhong army. Although Li Mu and other veterans of Guanzhong have retired and returned to their hometowns, their children and nephews are still working hard in the army.
Except for Li Xun, who is promising, most of the others are unknown.
As a reduced general, it is difficult for them to get ahead unless they encounter an opportunity. This is inevitable.
It is impossible for Li Xunchen to reuse all the surrendered generals. The cake is only so big. The needs of the old troops must be met first, otherwise both sides will be offended. Therefore, it is enough to have Li Xun as a typical example.
Now that Yang Su said that he would let the Han army in Pu Ban join him in the attack, he obviously also wanted to give these Guanzhong disciples a chance to make contributions.
After all, the Yang family of Hongnong is an out-and-out Guanlong family in terms of belonging.
What's more, this matter may not be Yang Su's own decision. When it comes to leading troops to fight, the children of General Guan Long may not have the opportunity to perform because they have so many tasks, but they can naturally occupy a place in the Taiwei Mansion, such as
Li Zhi. Therefore, it is reasonable for these people to launch a diversionary attack from Puban in the plan.
Yang Su was a little nervous for a while. He was afraid that Li Xingchen would suspect that he was behind this incident.
In fact, there is no problem in launching a diversionary attack from Puban, but the change in the original plan also means that the descendants of Guanlong have an increasing voice in the Taiwei Mansion.
What kind of place is Taiwei's Mansion? It is the military center of the Han Dynasty, the brain and heart. Obviously Li Xingchen does not want to see cliques forming in Taiwei's Mansion, and there are many hills.
The balance Li Xingchen needs is a balance between large factions, such as the civil and military factions. This can restrain each other and avoid the emergence of overwhelming civilian officials or powerful military generals. But if there are also factions within the civil and military forces, attacking each other and plotting against each other.
, which will directly make the entire state agency bloated and difficult to move forward.
Li Xingchen did not like the behavior of later Westerners who held each other back, and it was not in line with the characteristics of China, a nation that endures hardships and works together.
"The Taiwei Mansion will decide on the candidates for the generals on both sides as soon as possible." Li Xingchen stopped hanging on Yang Su, "Both Yulinqi and Baipao have already planned to take action, and the military cannot fail to keep up."
Yang Su couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty obviously didn't really want to accuse him, so the matter was considered to have been exposed.
Of course, because the current internal conflicts in the Taiwei Mansion have not intensified yet, but have only revealed some clues, Li Xingchen cannot make a fuss out of a molehill. Today is just a reminder to Yang Su, asking him to straighten things out and balance things after he returns.
How to choose the two main generals is also the test that Li Xingchen leaves to Yang Su.
It depends on how this guy balances the power within the Taiwei Mansion.
Li Xingchen's eyes shifted from Yang Su, who was leaving in a hurry, to the map.
If we can really capture Hedong, even if we only gain a foothold in Puli, it will be a good thing for next year's all-out offensive.
