Chapter 1863 The breaking point is still in Hedong
Chen Xuanhua did not pester Li Xinchen for too long.
It wasn't because she was so sensible, but when she was having breakfast, she realized that Yang Miao and Cai Rong, who were supposed to be in the palace, were not there, so she asked out of curiosity.
When he learned that the two of them had shouldered the firepower for him last night and were still lying in bed, they immediately ate obediently and stopped talking.
Li Xingchen did not criticize Chen Xuanhua again. He discussed the matter on the matter. The internal government's financial problem was solved in a short period of time and a long-term solution was found. This is not a bad thing in any case, so Li Xingchen also rewarded Chen Xuanhua with two pieces of jewelry.
Of course, this girl has never been interested in jewelry. If she didn't need to go out to meet people, she might even walk around the palace with her hair down and wearing pajamas all day long. What she knows is that she knows that this is Chen Zhaoyuan's "informal"
Section", those who don't know thought that the female ghost ran out at some time.
Therefore, there is a high probability that this jewelry will appear in a pawn shop in Luoyang tomorrow, and the shopkeeper will be sweating profusely as he looks at the royal item and wonders how much he should pay.
Li Xingchen had heard similar reports once or twice, and could only laugh it off. Anyway, it was given to her, and she could do with it whatever she wanted. Li Xingchen didn't care. The money would definitely end up in the hospital or in the hospital.
It's not a bad thing at the pharmacy.
Li Xingchen has more important things to do today, which is to listen to the Taiwei Mansion's report on the Battle of Hedong.
Before Li Xingchen could enter the imperial study, Li Ping had already greeted him: "Your Majesty, report on the battle of Pingcheng."
"Is it over?" Li Xingchen breathed out. Although Li Ping couldn't tell how happy he was, at least he wasn't too sad. Moreover, the battle report was not sealed, which meant that at least it was not a disastrous defeat, or even a defeat, so there was no need to worry about the impact.
to morale.
"Dugu Yongye retreated to Beiyanzhou (today's Zhuolu), relying on water to set up a defense line, and did not continue to attack. Another partial division crossed Taihang and advanced through Lingqiu to Fan (today's southwest of Hunyuan), threatening our army's flanks.
, so General Han did not take the initiative to attack." Li Ping explained.
Li Xingchen opened the battle report and took a look at it. It was basically the same as what Li Ping said.
It's not that Han Qinhu didn't fight with Dugu Yongye. On the contrary, Yu Xi's cavalry ran in front and repelled Dugu Yongye's forward. It should be because of the appearance of the Han cavalry that Dugu Yongye finally gave up and continued to Pingcheng.
The plan to march into the army.
However, Li Xingchen had to admit that Dugu Yongye's partial division was a stroke of genius. From Lingqiu to Fan, it meant that the Han army followed the water south to Bailangdui and then attacked Sangqian County and Yanmenguan. The road was already under the Northern Zhou Dynasty's partial division.
, thus forming a distant echo with Yu Wenchun's troops in Sangqian County, forcing Li Jing to gather his troops and retreat all the way back to Pingcheng.
The cavalry had already returned to support Pingcheng. Li Jing only brought 3,000 infantry. If Dugu Yongye had not figured out how many pounds Li Jing had, I am afraid Dugu Yongye would have directly sent a partial division across the water to intercept and kill Li Jing.
After all, it was the Battle of Bailangdui that interrupted the communication between the two armies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Dugu Yongye only knew that Yu Wenchun was defeated, but did not know why Yu Wenchun lost. Of course, he could only be careful, especially
The appearance of the Han cavalry showed that the Han army was not seriously injured in the Battle of Bailangdui, so Dugu Yongye did not dare to advance rashly.
How should Dugu Yongye feel if he knew that he had let Li Jing's three thousand infantry go back in a big way?
Yang Su, Bao Xing and others were already waiting for Li Xinchen in the imperial study. Before Li Xinchen arrived, they had updated the instructions on the sand table about the Battle of Pingcheng. Li Xinchen looked at the sand table and saw that the Northern Zhou army was now deployed along the water, although the battle line was loose.
, but it is still a pincer attack on Pingcheng. There is no way. The number of Han troops in Pingcheng is not that large, and they do not have the ability to defeat them all. If the Northern Zhou army wants to continue the attack, the Pingcheng defenders may not be able to find Hebailangdui.
Such an opportunity.
In fact, the battle of Bailangdui mainly caught Yu Wenchun by surprise, and in fact Yu Wenchun's losses were not that big. Of the 10,000 cavalry, the final number should be more than five or six thousand. As for the lack of horses,
There should be one or two thousand defeated troops. In other words, Li Jing's "riot in heaven" caused only two to three thousand battle losses to the enemy.
However, Yu Wenchun's biggest loss in this battle was his war horse.
The Northern Zhou cavalry was equipped with one man and two horses, and even the elite Xianbei cavalry had one man, three horses or even four horses. This could ensure the combat capability of the cavalry to the greatest extent. In this battle, Li Jing captured only
There were more than three to four thousand war horses, plus the more than a thousand stray war horses collected by Yu Xi, the Han army could even use these horses to expand its cavalry by three thousand. In the end, it was also with these horses that Li Jing quickly led
They returned to Pingcheng and did not give Dugu Yongye's partial army a chance to react and attack him.
Most of the Northern Zhou cavalry who escaped had only one war horse left. Even if Yu Wenchun later sent people across the water and gathered many more horses, the current embarrassing situation could not be changed. That is, the Xianbei cavalry no longer
Like the previous Xianbei cavalry, they could travel thousands of miles and come and go like the wind, achieving extremely fast strategic movement.
Therefore, now Yu Wenchun can only guard Sangqian County in a depressed manner, unable to go north.
Li Xingchen looked at the sand table for a while, and could only sigh: "There should be no way to break the situation in Pingcheng, and they have to rely on the Battle of Hedong."
Dugu Yongye was very smart and preserved the main force of infantry in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. As long as Dugu Yongye's army is still there, the threat to the east of Pingcheng will always exist. But if the Battle of Hedong breaks out, Yu Wenchun may go south for reinforcements, which will naturally reduce it.
relieved the pressure from the south of Pingcheng.
"According to the plan of the Taiwei Mansion, starting from the day after tomorrow, our army will choose the opportunity to raid Fenglingdu." Yang Su said solemnly, "In addition, our army in Puban will also cooperate in launching an attack to contain the Puzhou defenders and force the enemy to be unable to reinforce Fenglingdu.
Lingdu battlefield."
"The key lies not in Fenglingdu and Puzhou, but in whether we can hold on after opening up the situation in Hedong," Li Xingchen said directly, "After taking Hedong, we must hold on until the beginning of next spring or even the beginning of summer. What plans does the Taiwei Mansion have for this?
"
Yang Su directly stretched out his hand and clicked on the map: "Your Majesty, I have discussed this matter with the Ministry of Industry before. Now that the river is frozen, it is convenient to transport supplies from north to south. It is not difficult to hold the east of the river. After the spring, the river thaws,
We need to rely on the navy. The Han Dynasty needs many ships to go north, but the Weishui River Workshop cannot meet the demand. Therefore, I thought that we should take advantage of this winter to dredge the chasm and divert the Huaihe River into the river. Then the navy can use the chasm to directly enter the river."
