Chapter 1858 Cowardly before fighting, not a worry
What Li Xingchen has always been most worried about is whether he will cause Li Jing, a towering tree in the future, to become crooked. At present, it seems that he may not.
As long as he can grow up so steadily, he will be able to lead an army on his own in five, six or even three or four years.
Li Xingchen believes that the biggest tragedy of Li Weigong in history is that he basically didn't have many opportunities to stand out in the first half of his life. By the time he commanded an army, he was already middle-aged. However, even so, in the remaining half of his life, he created
The legend of the God of War, wherever he goes, thousands of armies will overcome difficulties.
But now that I am giving him this opportunity, I want to see how many surprises he can bring to the big man.
The battle situation in Pingcheng suddenly developed in a direction favorable to the Han Dynasty. Naturally, the original strategic deployment in Hedong also had to be adjusted. The Han Dynasty's original plan was to dispatch troops to quickly attack north to attract Yu Wenchun's main force to return south for rescue, but now Yu Wen Chun
Chun's strength has been greatly weakened. Although there are still tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry left in Jinyang, Yu Wenchun should no longer dare to use these last Xianbei cavalry easily.
If they lose again, the Northern Zhou Dynasty will lose all its trump cards against the Han Dynasty. By then, the Han Dynasty will be able to flatten the Northern Zhou Dynasty as long as they attack across the board.
The strategic goals of the Hedong war can naturally change because of this. Instead of causing trouble for Jinyang, they can specifically cause trouble for the Hedong family.
According to the plan currently being discussed by the Taiwei Mansion, the Han army should launch eastward and northward with Puzhou as the center, camp step by step, consolidate the defense line, and ensure the Han's occupation of the local area. In particular, the implementation of the New Deal should be completed as soon as possible and the local aristocratic families and
The people were completely tied to the Han's cars, thus forming the Han's actual occupation of Hedong. At that time, this place would be the most powerful springboard to help the Han continue to attack Yecheng.
Of course, if the rivers of all sizes were not frozen, or at least semi-frozen, the Han army's navy could have driven straight in along the Fen River and Qinshui River. In that case, the staff of the Taiwei Mansion would really dare to think
The entire west of Taihang was included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Even Yecheng could be taken directly along the Zhang River!
"The current Zhou people's guard in Puzhou, Hedong is Xin Yongda. This man is the son of Xin Wei of Shangzhu Kingdom. The general Huzi should have some ability, but he does not have much experience in commanding troops." Yang Su stood at the
Li Xingchen explained to him that he was too lazy to mention the matter of Pingcheng anymore. When he mentioned this, His Majesty had a matter-of-fact expression, which made Yang Su feel that he had lost his ability to recognize people and still doubted Li Jing.
"The Zhou people's famous ministers and generals have almost been damaged, so it is reasonable to let a young general go into battle," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "It's a pity that Xin Yongda is not Xin Wei. Even if Xin Wei is here, how can he stop the general trend of the world?"
Can you live there?"
Xin Wei is not well-known to the southerners, mainly because he did not participate in the war against the Southern Dynasties. However, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty attacked Luoyang, Wei Xiaokuan was Xin Wei's lieutenant, and Xin Wei was also dismissed because of his military exploits.
He was given the surname "Putun" by the emperor. Unfortunately, this handsome and talented general died of illness a few years ago and had no chance to stand up and compete with the Han army.
"As for the east of Puzhou, reinforcements from the Zhou people came from Jizhou and other places. Han Guo, Chang Shan and others who led the army are also good generals from the Zhou people and should not be underestimated." Yang Su then said, "Currently, the enemy forces in Hedong are in full force.
Taking advantage of the momentum, in addition to Puzhou, Han Guo's troops have arrived at Shao County (south of today's Jiangxian County), guarding the river and confronting our army, and Chang Shan's troops have arrived at Zhengping County (today's Xinjiang), backed by the Fen River
We want to block our army's path along the Fen River to Jinyang."
Li Xingchen smiled and said, "Did Aiqing see anything?"
Yang Su hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "The enemy is on the defensive, but he is ready to seize the throat of the rear instead of fully reinforcing the front. If it is not due to internal conflicts, it is cowardice before fighting."
"Be timid before fighting. There is no need to worry about the battle in Hedong!" Li Xingchen waved his hand and walked straight out.
The reinforcements coming in force from the opposite side actually stopped at a few key points in the rear and did not dare to advance. This was a clear indication that Puzhou could not be defended. No wonder they would throw a young man without his father into Puzhou.
Go, because he knows that even if he is clearly trying to trick him, he will have no one to back him up. In this case, it is no use tricking him.
What's more, not all young boys are as talented as Li Jing, nor have they received such systematic teaching as Dahan Academy. Even if they are behind the generals, they are just armchair warriors, and they are probably eager to make contributions, and are instigated by the old foxes of the older generation with a few words.
He rushed forward and probably didn't even know how he died in the end.
If not, it stands to reason that a better way to arrange the Northern Zhou army would be to have a stable veteran general stationed in Puzhou, with strong walls and clear fields, to defend this absolutely solid city, and then use young generals who dare to fight and charge as the left and right wings, and the Han army
Once surrounded, the left and right wings quickly spread out to encircle them. Once the Han army wanted to divide their forces and defeat them, the left and right wings retracted back to defend the city at the rear, while the Puzhou defenders rushed out to attack the Han army's flanks.
However, the current layout of the Northern Zhou army made it clear to Li Xingchen that they had no hope of defeating the Han army, but were just holding on to the stronghold in vain and waiting for follow-up reinforcements.
In this case, there is nothing to worry about.
The corners of Yang Su's mouth twitched.
His Majesty tossed his sleeves and left, making him feel that the red-faced staff officers in the council hall were making a fuss out of a molehill.
Let these guys practice their military deployment capabilities.
However, Yang Su did not think that the Battle of Hedong and the Battle of Pingcheng were all the actions that the north would take this winter. Especially the layout of the Battle of Hedong made Yang Su feel strange after he realized it.
It is normal for veteran generals in the army to play tricks, especially Han Guo, Chang Shan and others, who have their families behind them. In order for their families to continue to survive in Dahan, they cannot really fight to the death with Dahan, but Sitting
Would Yu Wenxian, who is at the top, just watch the people below him being so naughty?
Yu Wenxian was not a puppet emperor. Even the civil affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were almost ignored by the aristocratic families. However, Yu Wenxian firmly grasped the military power. Otherwise, how could a big family such as the Wenxi Pei family obey him?
The command.
It's useless no matter how much money you have with a knife on your neck.
The Battle of Hedong turned into such a situation, which was definitely not beneficial to Yu Wenxian. It was even equivalent to handing over half of Hedong to the Han Dynasty.
Will Yu Wenxian agree?
Luoyang was lost, Pingcheng was lost, and Hedong could not be defended. This situation was even far worse than the situation when Northern Qi faced Northern Zhou.
