"Old General, I have offended you many times before, please forgive me." Xiao Mohe solemnly raised his hand to Chun Yuliang, "I was worried, so I had to do this. I hope the old general can understand me.
A lot of thought.”
Chun Yuliang also showed a smile, but it was unclear whether the smile was sincere or fake. Xiao Mohe said it nicely, but Chun Yuliang also knew more or less that Xiao Mohe wanted to use this as an excuse to delay the attack.
But after all, it seems that I want to use this to scare the other generals.
Of course, Xiao Mohe would not refuse this kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone. His explanation now is just to cover up the second intention. As an out-and-out veteran, Chun Yuliang certainly knows it well, but he does not
It has not been exposed. In any case, now that Xiao Mohe has lowered his profile and came to apologize in person, he can no longer be cold-faced.
After all, Xiao Mohe is still the commander-in-chief of this army, and he must obey Xiao Mohe's orders. Xiao Mohe's attitude is enough to satisfy Chun Yuliang. After all, Xiao Mohe is still needed in the current Xiangyang war situation.
Supported by him and Ren Zhong.
Chun Yuliang had fought all his life, and of course he understood the impact of discord between generals. Of course, he would not take the initiative to make such a mistake.
"Old general, what do you think of the current war situation in Xiangyang?" Xiao Mohe didn't mean to exchange more pleasantries with Chun Yuliang, and went straight to the point and expressed his doubts.
Chun Yuliang was not ambiguous and made a gesture of invitation: "Before coming to Xiangyang, I had such worries. The battle situation in Xiangyang is a bit strange no matter how you look at it."
Xiao Mohe followed Chun Yuliang's hand and looked over. Chun Yuliang pointed at key points such as Tangzhou, Dengzhou and even Xuchang in the north of Xiangyang City. Xiao Mohe considered it and said: "What the old general means is that the Zhou people
Is it possible to mobilize the army to go south along this road?"
Chun Yuliang nodded slightly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. After Yuwen Yong's death, the Zhou army in the north was mainly stationed in the north and south of Luoyang. The north road needs to guard against Turks, and it may be difficult to escape, but the south road army has a total of 70,000 or 80,000 people.
It is absolutely possible to mobilize them south, I don’t think Yang Jian or Yu Wenxian can leave so many soldiers and horses outside Luoyang City in vain and watch Xiangyang endure our siege."
"But why not Huaibei? You must know that our army is also launching a fierce attack in Huaibei." Xiao Mohe asked immediately.
Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty had a large number of troops, due to the constraints of the Turks in the north, the number of troops that could be mobilized was actually not as many as imagined. 70,000 to 80,000 people could only effectively support the battle on one battlefield. If these 70,000 to 80,000 people were used
If you split it up and put it into two battlefields, the gains outweigh the losses, and it will only give Nan Chen more opportunities to defeat each one.
Xiao Mohe was not naive enough to think that Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian would be so easy to deal with.
But having said that, Wu Mingche has already rushed to Huainan, and Nanchen will also launch an attack in Huainan. So how can Chun Yuliang judge that the enemy troops in Luoyang will come to support Xiangyang instead of Huaibei.
"Huaibei is important, but the enemy has been operating in Huaibei for many years. Wang Gui was able to force our army back from the Luliang defense line with the Qi army's surrender. Now that these troops under Wang Gui have been reorganized and trained, their fighting spirit must be even higher
," Chun Yuliang's voice became heavier and heavier, "So it is not so easy for Wu Tongzhao to open up the situation in Huaibei."
After a pause, Chun Yuliang tapped the location of Xiangyang on the map: "On the contrary, half of Xiangyang's defenders have been transferred to Shu, while Wuquan and other places in Xiangyang that can be used as barriers have fallen into the hands of our army. And
As spring warms, it is impossible for Mianshui River to freeze. Once our army cuts off the water fortress on Mianshui River, the enemy will have no choice but to sit in Fancheng and watch Xiangyang fall."
Xiangfan, Xiangfan, Xiangyang and Fancheng have been integrated since ancient times. They are horns to each other and jointly guard the choke point from the Central Plains to Jingzhou. If one place is lost, the other place will inevitably be difficult to support. Now there are not many defenders in Xiangyang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Divide your forces to guard Fancheng and deal with the Nanchen army, which has a great advantage in naval forces. The pressure they face is indeed far greater than that of Huaibei.
Xiao Mohe nodded slightly, agreeing with Chun Yuliang's statement: "So Xiangyang will inevitably have a fierce battle."
"A fierce battle is inevitable. Xiangyang not only connects the north and the south, but also connects the east and west. If Xiangyang moves, the whole world will move. Even the Huaihe River and Bashu will be involved." Chun Yuliang said in a deep voice, "So I am more worried about this.
When will the war begin, and how will the enemy come to fight such a war?"
Xiao Mohe did not feel relaxed. When Chun Yuliang said this, everything actually returned to the beginning. The reason why Xiangyang is important is because Xiangyang is related to the battle between Bashu and Bashu, so in fact, the most important thing in this overall situation is Bashu.
The war started in Bashu, and what it will look like in the end depends on Bashu.
Chun Yuliang didn't say much, but consciously or unconsciously glanced at the map. The direction he looked at was also the direction of Bashu. There had been no news from Bashu for several days. If Li Xinchen's entire army was wiped out, Chunyu
Judging from the situation, the best choice at the moment is to withdraw the troops from Xiangyang as soon as possible. When Yuchi Jiang leads his troops back to Xiangyang, then the war situation will really become irreversible.
"Report!" At this moment, a messenger rushed into the camp and said, "Report, Langzhong battle report, General Dang Kou captured Panlong County City, Yuchi Jiong led his troops to retreat to Micang Mountain!"
"What?" Xiao Mohe and Chun Yuliang's eyes lit up.
Delivering battle reports like this can only mean that this time is a complete victory!
If you think about it, you can understand the key point. Yuchi Jiong worked hard to cross Micang Mountain, but he had to face Li Xinchen, who was already heavily defensive in the city. This battle was certainly not easy to fight. Li Xinchen took Langzhong, just like
It was a sharp blade pressed against Yuchi Jiong's throat.
Of course it was extremely uncomfortable.
The entire Bashu war situation was so weird at this time that it could even be said to be miraculously tilted in the direction of Nanchen.
Chun Yuliang exhaled softly: "Good fight, good fight!"
And Xiao Mohe couldn't restrain his excitement and paced back and forth in the camp. It can be said that Li Xingchen gave him a big surprise. He originally thought that Li Xingchen could only retreat steadily in Bajun, and even needed to
Nan Chen had to open up the situation on other fronts so that he could have a chance to counterattack, but now Li Xingchen was able to go against the Northern Zhou's military front and push all the way to Langzhong!
Now it was Yuchijiong and Wei Xiaokuan's turn to feel uncomfortable.
"Report, enemy cavalry has been found on the north bank, about seven or eight thousand people!" Another scout quickly rushed into the camp.
Xiao Mohe and Chun Yuliang both had awe-inspiring expressions.
The arrival of the cavalry means that there will definitely be an unknown number of infantry behind them, but they are indispensable.
