After hearing Wei Yan's question, Zheng Pu did not answer immediately, but complained.
In this regard, Wei Yan did not urge him anymore, nodded and said "Okay, don't rush for a while" and picked up the koumi bag again, regaining his sleepy demeanor when he was sitting alone.
In fact, Zheng Pu was already leaning towards the second plan.
Moreover, in fact, Wei Yan had no room to make suggestions to Zheng Pu.
Because of what he said, he asked Zheng Pu to come to Yangcheng to supervise the battle. He divided three troops to continue to besiege Yangcheng and only sent one or two thousand cavalry to go south. This was a subtle claim that if a quick strategy was taken, Zheng Pu would
The troops under his control are enough to go straight to attack the counties in Longdong.
Yes, facing the Wei army who defended to the death, it didn't matter to the Han army whether Yangcheng was trapped or not.
Moreover, according to the timetable for mutual support for the Northern Expedition, negotiated with Jiangdong, it was after the autumn harvest, and this year's grain harvest was harvested. Xiaoguan and Gaoping City were both in the hands of the Han army. There was no intention to attack the city, and there was no need to besiege the city and make the soldiers more tired.
Woolen cloth?
What Zheng Pu is thinking about now is what changes will happen if Wei Yan's troops go south to occupy the Miwei Meeting and dredge the channel of the Weishui River Valley.
Things are settled in advance.
It's not like making a decisive decision to capture the fighter plane before the battle. It's a derivation before planning and making decisions in military battles. How can we not look forward and backward in order to think everything through properly?
In other words, Wei Yan's plan is as radical as ever.
The advantages are of course what he said, but there are also many disadvantages.
The first to bear the brunt is the Prime Minister's Department.
Before entering Guanzhong, under the Prime Minister's arrangement, he supervised the troops into Wuzhangyuan to attract the Wei State to attack. After that, Wei Yan's tribe could enter the Miwei Meeting. Now that Wei State has not attacked Wuzhangyuan, Wei Yanti went to
, it will change the entire situation for both parties.
If Wei Yan widened the Weishui River Valley across the Longshan Mountains to connect with Longyou, and stationed troops at Qianwei Meeting, he would have given up his strategy of occupying Qishan and facing Wuzhangyuan from the north to the south, and isolating the western part of Youfufeng from Guanzhong.
Yes, this move eliminated the significance of the Prime Minister stationing troops in Wuzhangyuan.
They were forced to give up and instead took the Dashan Pass to besiege Chencang City with Wei Yan's troops.
Because of this, strategic planning will fall into limitations - without pulling out Chencang City, the Han army will not be able to march to the heart of Guanzhong!
Another variable is that Longdong is difficult to escape.
The Wei State has always been quick in migrating Li Shu people. For example, last year, when Sima Yi deployed defenses and strengthened the walls to clear the country, he also took advantage of the situation and moved all the Li Shu people west of Xi County into Jing Zhaoyin or Zuo Fengyi.
Turning everything north of Chencang into an uninhabited war zone.
Regardless of whether the Han army or the Wei army, it is very easy for them to advance and attack quickly.
However, Wei Yan claimed to leave Zheng Pu to continue to be trapped in Yangcheng. Once the attack on Chencang City failed and Zheng Pu was required to attack Longdong County and mobilize the counter-Wei deployment, Gaoping City would be in a dilemma of weak defense.
Although Gaoping City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter how many soldiers and horses come from the Wei Dynasty, it can hold out for several months until reinforcements arrive.
However, Ni Wei can surround the area and bring reinforcements~
Just like the old days when they rebelled against the Wei Dynasty and besieged the Manyin City Fortress to take advantage of it!
Don't question Wei's lack of troops and its ability to besiege Gaoping City.
The Chinese army in Luoyang of the Wei Dynasty could do it.
Jiangdong's attack on Shouchun in Huainan could only contain the Luoyang Army against the Wei Dynasty for a while. If we hope that they can prevent the Luoyang Army from going west...
It’s difficult!
First of all, Shouchun City is not that easy to break.
Facts speak louder than words.
Judging from past achievements, it goes without saying that the combat effectiveness of Jiangdong's soldiers in the field is undeniable!
Everyone knows that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
After all, there are no more powerful generals like Gan Ning in Jiangdong today who personally risk stone arrow ants to climb the city and inspire the soldiers to break through the city without fear of death.
On the other hand, if Jiangdong wants to enter the Huaihe River, the only way is to attack Shouchun City.
There is absolutely no room for tricks or strategies.
With Wei's strength on the Huainan front, supplemented by county soldiers from Henan, Yanzhou and Qingxu, it was possible to defend the city without any worries from the Luoyang Chinese army.
In other words, to rebel against the Wei Dynasty, Cao Rui could first order Huainan to hold on, and then let the Luoyang Chinese army enter Yongliang to fight.
For the Han Dynasty, the two countries are working together in the Northern Expedition. The only exciting news in Jiangdong now is that Sun Quan has begun to use Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief of the Huainan battlefield.
With Lu Xun's ability, he should be able to allow Cao Rui to dispatch the Luoyang Central Army to the Huainan front, right?
Even if Shouchun City cannot be breached, it can at least turn the war into a tug-of-war, right?
This is the only hope of the Han people.
If this is not possible, then Jiangdong really cannot afford to support him...
cough!
There was a long silence.
Zheng Pu, who was thoughtful, looked at Wei Yan, shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Well, if there is a pause in this battle, the general will have to give me a banquet."
This answer was completely unrelated to the question, but it made Wei Yan laugh heartily.
"So, Zijin is agreeing to me?"
He first asked a definite question, and then he asked and answered it himself, "I knew that Zijin acted in the same way as me! Hahaha~~"
Indeed, just as Zheng Pu expected, he did not give Zheng Pu any room for further details.
The reason why he came to ask Zheng Pu about his urgent strategy was that he wanted Zheng Pu to write a joint letter with him to the prime minister, so that the prime minister would agree with his strategy.
There is no way, his strategy needs the cooperation of the Prime Minister.
Moreover, in recent years, the prime ministers have mostly adopted Zheng Pu's strategies rather than his plans.
This time he was supervising the main force, and he only needed to persuade Zheng Pu, who was supervising the partial divisions, to reach a consensus, and the prime minister would not deny it.
And why did Zheng Pu still get what he wanted...
Because in the face of Wei's retreating tactics, Wei Yan had already analyzed all the pros and cons of the two strategies mentioned, and he himself had no better insights.
Furthermore, war is a matter of life and death.
No matter what plan you plan, you need to bear certain risks. There is never a sure thing, let alone a hard-and-fast rule.
"The general's plan has already calculated the pros and cons of the enemy and ourselves! How can I say anything else?"
After laughing a few times, Zheng Pu nodded in response, "However, when the general goes south to meet at Qianwei, there is no need to leave troops and horses to benefit me. Moreover, Zhao Yihong's five thousand cavalry will also be included under the general's command to obey the order." "
Well?
Wei Yan, who was still full of joy, suddenly stopped laughing.
He stared at Zheng Pu intently for a while, then tried his best to ask, "What does Zijin mean by his words, is he no longer trapped in Wei Yangcheng?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Puxian smiled and asked, "Why are our troops still trapped in Yangcheng?"
Wei Yan was also shocked.
He looked up and suddenly slapped his own legs with a heavy palm, "Hey! I know! What Zi Jin means is that the Prime Minister does not need to leave me trapped in Chencang City!" After saying this, he couldn't help but praise, "Previously, the Prime Minister often praised Zijin's talent and learning, saying that he could imitate the principles of filial piety and uprightness of the Yihou Marquis. Now I also think so!"
