Sun Li, who took over the command as soon as he arrived, actually did not want to fight this battle.
In other words, he didn't want the war to break out so early.
While arriving lightly, he also received a messenger sent by Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, on the way.
Therefore, he not only knew that the outer city of Chencang had been captured by the Han army, but also knew that Qin Lang and Xiahou Bazheng led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, 20,000 Luoyang Central Army and 30,000 Yongliang Army arrived.
In this way, no matter whether Zhuge Liang, the prime minister who rebelled against Shu, divided his troops to stop him, Qin Lang could not send more than ten thousand troops to defeat or expel Zheng Pu's tribe with him.
However, Qianhong and other troops were blocked in the wild by Zheng Pu, who was against Shu, and he had to fight.
You can't just run away and be chased by the Han army all the way, right?
And he felt that his chances of winning were also very high.
One is naturally the superiority in military strength.
After he joined forces with Qian Hong and other three troops, his strength reached 25,000 infantry and cavalry; while after Zheng Pu joined forces with Wang Ping and Xiliang's cavalry, his strength was only 15,000 infantry and cavalry.
Although in the wars between Han and Wei in recent years, the Wei army was often outnumbered by the Han army.
But the more troops you have, the more likely you are to win.
Moreover, when the more than ten thousand Huaisi elites under his command often fought against the thief Wu, didn't they always win with a small number?
This was the biggest reason why he insisted on setting up the Fish Formation after taking over the command.
The elite soldiers of Huaisi and Si, whose high morale they had accumulated after repeatedly defeating Wu, did not weaken after entering Guanzhong, and were still able to fight to the death! And the two Yongliang soldiers of Zhou Dang and Wang Qi, whom he did not trust very much, were in Huai
When the Si elite call for fierce battle, they can also be coerced into fighting and infected to fight to the death.
Another reason is that Zheng Pu came here in a hurry with light equipment.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to block Qianhong and others here.
Sun Tzu's "The Art of War: Military Struggle" says, "If you strive for profit within a hundred miles, you will capture three generals. The strong one will go first, and the tired one will follow. This method will be followed by eleven. If you strive for profit at fifty miles, you will defeat the general."
He came all the way with light equipment, and the soldiers were a little tired!
Zheng Pu's troops, who were further away and had set out earlier, arrived here, so it was impossible for them to have superior combat power.
As for Qian Hong, Zhou Dang and Wang Qi, the three troops have been marching slowly. The physical strength of the soldiers can make up for the disadvantage of being weaker than the Han army!
Therefore, Scar Pu wants to fight, so let’s fight!
In fact, what he didn't know was that Qian Hong deliberately promoted this battle.
Qianhong, who had always been dissatisfied with the sluggish morale of the Yongliang tribes and dared not live for death, led the Wuhuan Tuqi in the march. How could he not have Guang sent scouts to explore the road?
Didn't An Neng know in advance that Zheng Pu's troops were coming in a hurry?
Even though Zhou Dang and Wang Qi's tribe, who were escorting a lot of baggage and food, had no time to avoid it, they still had enough time to find a place to stay in the camp and wait for the arrival of Sun Li's tribe. With their strong defense, Zheng Pu did not dare to attack easily!
But he felt that war should not be like this.
For example, the Wuhuan Tuqi under his command had become war-weary and complained because they had been away from Youzhou for too long and could not bear this kind of courageless and endless avoidance of war.
If you don't face the battle again, you may lose all your fighting spirit and be unable to face the battle!
Don't expect these Wuhuan, who have not yet been fully Chineseized, to obey military orders as strictly as the Han family.
Furthermore, Qianhong was still brooding about the previous battle in the Nishui River Valley.
I have always felt that if the governor generals such as Xue Ti were not too conservative and instead took advantage of him and gathered their troops north along the Jingshui River Valley to fight the Han army in Linjing, there would not have been such a humiliating defeat.
Therefore, he deliberately confirmed the news of the return of the scouts after inquiring, and then informed Zhou Dang and Wang Qi of the military situation of the Han army's resistance, and sent scouts to ask Sun Li's Ministry to come as soon as possible.
Behind his seemingly cautious attitude towards the military situation, he was deliberately delaying time to make this battle inevitable.
Zheng Pu was unaware of this.
He was quite lucky and attributed his ability to stop the Wei army in time to his guide.
However, these don't matter anymore.
He knew that his plan to supervise the army to go north without consulting the Prime Minister, Wei Yan and others was finally achieved!
Yes, he was very eager to fight the Wei army.
Although he knew, as the prime minister had expected, that once the Han army broke through the outer city of Chencang, they would definitely turn to the defensive to wait for work, and then fight again when the time was right.
But he was worried that the Han army would not have this chance.
Because of Wu State.
The reason why the prime minister decided to attack Chencang in advance was because Chen Dao, the governor of Yong'an, found out that Jiangdong had already made peace with Wei and was negotiating with each other; he was worried that the Wu State would completely tear up the alliance between the two countries in advance, making it difficult for the Han Dynasty to attack with all its strength under the constraints of Jiangdong.
The strength of the city.
Zheng Pu felt that Wu would betray its alliance earlier.
Today, the state of Wu is still trading with the Han Dynasty. Even Xiling Governor Buzhao, who was sent to Huainan to fight, has not returned to guard the Xiling Gorge, and Sun Quan has not increased his troops to replenish the settlement. It seems that he is still trying to maintain the alliance in name only.
But behind all this, Sun Quan hoped that Han and Wei would continue to wear each other out, allowing Wu to reap the benefits.
Once he knew that Chencang City had been recaptured by the Han Dynasty, he would no longer remain calm!
Without him, interests will follow.
In the past, when the Wei family was the only one in power, he was naturally willing to work with the Han people in the Northern Expedition.
But now that the Han Dynasty has regained Longyou and Liangzhou, and has a foothold in Guanzhong, and with the sharp generals who have repeatedly won battles, he wants to sweep Guanzhong, and the revival of the Han Dynasty is looming. How can he join forces with the Han Dynasty?
Don't you worry that after the Han Dynasty returns to the old capital, Wei will be in decline and unable to survive, and the Han Dynasty will march eastward?
Anyone who is not the Liu family but is a king will be attacked by the whole world.
With the precedents of Wang Mang and Cao Cao, Sun Quan did not think that the prosperous Han Dynasty would turn a blind eye to him who had already proclaimed himself emperor.
I don’t even think that the Han Dynasty would choose to forget the hatred of Xiangfan and the hatred of Yiling!
This was what Zheng Pu was thinking about when he went north.
He wanted to defeat Wei again before Sun Quan completely tore up the alliance, and then bent their backbone of daring to fight, so that it would be easier for the prime minister and Wei Yan to hold on to the current results. Even if they had to divide their troops from Guanzhong in the future
When returning to resist Jiangdong, we still need to let the Han army maintain its superiority and morale when it comes to the Wei army.
Those who do not plan for the overall situation will not be able to plan for one area.
When planning for military competition, you must look at the overall situation and think long term first~
Besides, offense is the best defense.
On the premise of not affecting the overall situation, there is a chance to force the Wei army to fight in the field and win, so why defend it?
Of course!
Zheng Pu firmly believed that victory would belong to his army.
Reliance is not only about being brave against the Han army, but also about being able to outnumber the enemy.
It was even more because he understood the weaknesses of the Wei army in front of him, which was composed of multiple units, and knew the key to how to defeat the Wei army with upright troops.
Therefore, while both sides were busy arranging their troops, he had already sent his retinue to convey orders to Jufu, Liu Yin, Wang Ping, Xu Zhi, Zhang Te and others to let them know their respective responsibilities.
In other words, before the battle even started, he had already completed the planning and could sit back and wait leisurely for the results.
