"There are eight thousand Imperial Guards across the river, three thousand of them are given to Colonel Xiao Shilue to head to Qiziling, and the other five thousand are to Shaozhou under the leadership of General Chunyu."
Zhang Xutuo arrived very quickly. Even if Li Xingchen didn't summon him, he planned to come over and report the situation to Li Xingchen.
"There are not many troops in the first place, how risky is it to divide them so hastily?" Li Xingchen frowned.
Of course he would not show this kind of worry in front of Li Lian'er, and even had to pretend to be full of confidence.
Zhang Xutuo considered it and said: "From the current point of view, this is actually a good choice."
"Oh?" Li Xingchen was surprised, "How do you say this?"
Zhang Xutuo stretched out his hand and clicked on the map: "Han Guo's troops stationed in Shaozhou are no more than 10,000. These more than 10,000 troops are not stationed in the city, but are scattered in various forts outside the city.
, trying to defend through these strong forts instead of the dilapidated city, this will naturally give us opportunities to defeat each other. In this case, dividing the troops is not necessarily dangerous."
Li Xingchen stroked his beard. Indeed, there are not many mountains in Shaozhou. The focus of defense is still in the dotted Wubao in these troubled times. There is no way. In hundreds of years of troubled times, this land in the east of the river is often the center of conflicts in the east-west direction.
Here, most of the original cities are dilapidated. Instead, they are fortresses built by local families for self-protection. They are stronger than the cities. The cities in turn play a role such as a market. In terms of defense, they are naturally inferior to the city.
Shangwu Fort.
In this way, even if the Han army divides its forces and defeats them individually with 5,000 men, it is not impossible that they will have a chance to finally capture Shaozhou. In contrast, concentrating the troops is indeed a waste, and it is very likely that their rear will be destroyed.
The road is exposed to several phoenixes in Qiziling.
Li Xingchen said directly: "Over Qiziling, will the Phoenix take the initiative to attack?"
"It's hard to say," Zhang Xutuo said with a bitter smile, "Whether it's Baipao or Taiwei Mansion, there isn't much information about this person. Perhaps the most important thing is that he is the son of Shuo Hui. After all, this person was on the battlefield before.
There are almost no achievements in the world.”
Li Xingchen frowned.
An unknown opponent, even if he knows that the opponent may be weak, cannot take it lightly, especially since Xiao Shilue is on his own for the first time, and Li Xingchen doesn't know if this historical cheater will cheat him.
"This Chun Yucen is really brave." Li Xingchen couldn't help but sigh, "If the battle of Shaozhou is defeated, I will question him!"
Zhang Xutuo gave His Majesty a thumbs up in his heart. The Taiwei Mansion's judgment on the Shaozhou battle situation was that Shuofeng would not send troops. Chunyucen would actually have an absolute advantage whether he divided his troops to defeat him or combined his troops.
, it should be a sure thing, and what can support the Taiwei Mansion to make such a judgment is that the Imperial Guards, Yingyang Army, Tiger Wing Army, etc. also opened up their formations along the line from Luoyang to Chenliu, and set out to attack.
With the posture in Hanoi, it is very likely that even the Northern Zhou Dynasty King Yuwentong, who was stationed in Hanoi, did not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, even if Chunyu Cen did this to nip problems in the bud, it would still be too much. It would be impossible to choose sesame seeds instead of watermelons.
However, now that the army has been deployed, the tactics and strategic deployment of the Taiwei Mansion are just a piece of paper after all. Although the frontline generals cannot leave the framework of the strategic plan, the specific deployment is a matter for them to adapt to the situation. The Taiwei Mansion cannot control it.
Your Majesty has nothing to do with it.
Therefore, as long as Chun Yucen had a suitable reason for doing so, the Taiwei Mansion could not order him to cancel it.
"General Chunyu is also a brave general in our army. He should be able to control the situation. Your Majesty, please be at ease." Zhang Xutuo comforted Li Xingchen, but silently made up his mind to send someone to warn Chunyu Cen as soon as possible, but never get out of here.
What's wrong? Otherwise, I won't be able to eat anything when I come back.
Regardless of success or failure, as long as it does not involve the strategic level, it actually has nothing to do with the Taiwei Mansion. But at the same time, in the military, who wants to fail?
Li Xingchen looked at the newly added troops and horses on the map, which represented Xiao Shilue's partial division.
The second son of the Xiao family can be regarded as the dandy of the family, and these people, who come from a family of generals, are probably not much better.
Dandy vs. Dandy, interesting.
——————————
Why is it said that Erlang of the Xiao family is the dandy of the family?
Of course, not only because he was a complete cheater in history and almost killed his father, but also because he often got into fights when he was in class at Jinling Military Academy. Despite his young age, he could copy a
Stick, cover his face - he didn't dare to shout that he was Xiao Mohe's son. As the mountain leader, Wu Mingche would not give this face. Instead, he would punish this guy heavily because he embarrassed his father too much.
——On several occasions, he even led several junior students to beat up senior senior students.
Because this guy refused to admit that he did it, and the academy couldn't find any concrete evidence, so it had no choice but to give up.
After all, fighting in the academy is not a good thing, but in the military academy, it would be abnormal not to fight. They are all hot-blooded teenagers. Taking action if they disagree is what they should do at this age. It is not so much that the academy cannot find any evidence.
Those gentlemen who have been on the battlefield for half their lives simply turn a blind eye. In their opinion, if you can't beat someone in a military school fight, you should be beaten.
These gentlemen didn't just pick up sticks and punish those guys who "lost the battle". They really embarrass themselves.
Therefore, the name of the Xiao family's playboy is well known in Jiankang Mansion.
Of course, what this young man does every day is "rob the rich and give to the poor". When there is bullying in the academy, he will definitely help, and once even went all the way from the Military Academy to Jinling Academy
, there was such a fuss that the headmaster of Jinling Academy, Xiao Cong, was so angry that he ran to Wu Mingche and slapped the table, making Wu Mingche's face dark for several days.
If this kid hadn't done a good job, Wu Mingche would have called Xiao Mohe over and gave him a severe scolding.
Therefore, the title of Xiao family's young dandy is actually somewhat complimentary. People in the same college even call him "Chivalrous Xiao Erlang", which is quite similar to his father's style.
Now Xiao Erlang is standing on a big rock at the foot of Qiziling, looking up at the steep cliff.
There is a camp from the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the cliff. There are not many troops stationed there, but if they guard the key point, no matter how famous Xiao Erlang is, he can't kill him.
Even if Xiao Erlang had 3,000 elite men, there was nothing he could do in this place where one man was in charge and no one could open it.
"Just come here and set up camp." Xiao Shilue waved his hand.
A young captain next to him frowned and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for the enemy here to be condescending and watch our camp?"
The young captain who spoke was none other than Du Fuwei. He had been promoted to captain because of his contribution to the Battle of Qingshui. This time he was ordered to lead three hundred musketeers and five hundred swordsmen as Xiao Shilue's deputy.
