Chapter 624 of the Gui Scroll: Play a big chess game and swallow the whale's wish
., Update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
"Basically everything is settled." Feng Ziying knew that the You brothers had left Yulin for several years, and their main thoughts were on Jizhen. They had some contacts with Yulin Town, but they didn't care much about the border village in northern Shaanxi.
Already.
You Shiwei took a breath of cold air.
He knew about the border village in northern Shaanxi, which had existed for decades and had complex composition.
Either they were deserters who could not bear the oppression of the officers, or they were tenant farmers and hunters who resisted the powerful, or some criminals from the mainland couldn't help but hide in, and then gradually gathered together, lived together, multiplied and developed.
It can be said that these people all have some background and strength. In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, they are not much different from the border soldiers, but in terms of discipline development, there is a huge difference.
When the war actually started, the border troops would crush these fortresses, so the border troops would just turn a blind eye and let them exist.
But this does not mean that these people are of poor quality and cannot fight.
As long as these people can be subdued and properly trained, they can definitely become a powerful army.
"Sir, the Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluosi Village, as well as Boyan Village and Baitang Village, are among the top ten border villages in northern Shaanxi. Their combat capabilities are not bad. When you go to Shaanxi,
Have they all been collected?" You Shiwei was surprised, happy and horrified, "These people are not easy to convince."
"Humph, what's not to be impressed by? There's a severe drought in northern Shaanxi. No matter how hard they fight, can they still get food out of the fields? No matter how hard they fight, can they still steal the food from the Yulin Army? The land is thousands of miles away, and they've all eaten Guanyin soil.
Half-starved to death, let me see how good they can fight?"
Feng Ziying sneered, "First defeat them, and then make them a favor, why don't you just join me? Do you think Liu Dongyang can sweep through southern Shanxi so easily? Without Qiu Zixiong's cooperation, he can solve the chaos in southern Shanxi so quickly.
Game?"
You Shiwei has heard of this.
Then Liu Dongyang led the northwest army from Henan to the north, and started to show his power from southern Shanxi. Along the way, he defeated the rebel army from the east of Shaanxi. Not to mention, the so-called seven bandits and eight kings in Shanxi were also driven away like rabbits in the mountains.
.
In less than half a year, the rebellion in southern Shanxi was completely wiped out, and then he cooperated with Sun Chengzong to defeat Fengzhou Bailian in northern Shanxi, forcing him to withdraw from Pianguan and other places that he had occupied for more than a year.
"My lord is wise." You Shiwei sighed.
"It's not that I am wise, but that the current situation dictates that if you go against the trend, you will definitely get a bloody blow. No matter how powerful you are, you will still be powerless. With the overlord's ability, wouldn't you just kill yourself in Wujiang?" Feng Ziying shook her head:
"The White Lotus Sect can take advantage of the situation for a while, but not forever. Look at what they did after the uprising. They burned, killed and looted, ate, drank and gambled, appointed officials and made wishes, were arrogant and lustful. What is the difference between them and Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty? A gang of
They are just grass bandits, and destroying them is just a matter of time and is nothing to worry about."
In front of You Shiwei and Ma Kongying, Feng Ziying still looked particularly domineering and confident.
This is not self-praising. Looking at what the White Lotus Sect has done, it may indeed bring great damage, but in the end they will not succeed. It is nothing more than worrying that they have gone too far in the hinterland of the Central Plains and given
Jianzhou Jurchen and others have a chance.
The two Yuma people still deeply believed in what Feng Ziying said.
A gang of rabble-rousers may seem to have a huge momentum, but when it comes to practical things, apart from destroying and looting, this gang of people basically has no decent routines.
Apart from shouting about vain slogans such as the birthless mother descending to earth and building a vacuum hometown, what else can be done?
But if you shout slogans for a while, can you grow food and turn it into beef and mutton?
As the Beijing camp began to move south on a large scale to Zhuozhou, Feng Ziying and You Shiwei also began to make detailed arrangements for their strategy against the rebel forces in the east.
The rebels in the central part can only be temporarily relieved, but Feng Ziying's request to Ma Kongying is to stabilize the situation first and prevent it from spreading from the periphery. Those rebels who rush too fast can be attacked at the right time, but they will not be attacked for the time being.
The main force engages in confrontation and can make appropriate maneuvers when necessary.
The arrival of Tu Wenxiu, Ma Jinbao, Ma Chengxun and their soldiers immediately made the entire Rongcheng Old City lively.
The old city of Rongcheng is still thirty miles away from Rongcheng County. It was precisely because they were worried that the White Lotus Sect's elite in Rongcheng County would be aware of the actions of the army, so Feng Ziying and his party avoided Rongcheng County and went to Rongcheng in the northwest of the county.
Come meet at the old city, a small dilapidated town that has been under military control.
"..., don't underestimate how dilapidated this place is. Rongcheng County has been here since the Han and Tang Dynasties. During the Five Dynasties and the Later Liang Dynasty, Liu Shouguang attacked the county here and caused great damage. Later, Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty gave this place to the Liao Dynasty.
People, so the people all ran to the south of the Juma River, and the place became desolate and decayed, and there was no way to restore its vitality..."
Feng Ziying was in high spirits and introduced the history of Rongcheng to the generals in a eloquent manner.
"After the Song Dynasty, the county seat has been at the current county seat, but the people followed wherever the county seat was, so it's hard to determine whether it will rise or fall."
Ma Chengxun, Ma Jinbao, Tu Wenxiu and others all nodded in agreement, while Ma Kongying and You Shigong next to them also nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, we've finished talking about history, it's time to get down to business." Feng Ziying walked into the temple with her hands behind her back.
This place has become a temporary staff headquarters. The large maps hanging on the walls and the giant sand table in the palace all show that the Governor's Mansion has been preparing for this battle for a long time.
"Let's take a look first, combining the map and the sand table. This large sand table is built with Baiyangdian and Wuguandian as the center, and is surrounded by Xiongxian, Anzhou, Renqiu, Wen'an, Baoding (county), Bazhou,
They are all on it. The distance between Xiongxian and Renqiu is the shortest, but this passage is the dividing ridge between Baiyangdian and Wuguandian. The terrain is not high, only a few miles away. The lake bandits live here.
land,……"
Feng Ziying had already walked to the sand table, and a staff officer pointed at a slightly higher area between the two depressions with a wooden stick.
"This is the Baigou River. Zhu Di and Li Jinglong fought here in the former Ming Dynasty. This was also the site of many battles between Song and Liao. The geographical location is extremely important. Baigou Station is here, and it has now been occupied by the rebels...
"
"This is Yangguancheng. It is said that it was built by Yang Yanzhao and had five hundred rebel troops stationed there..."
"This is Waqiao Pass. It was a battleground for military strategists in the late Tang and Five Dynasties. Tian Chengsi, Zhu Tao, and Li Baochen all fought here. Liu Rengong was beaten to pieces by Ge Congzhou here. Zhou Dewei showed his prowess here.
After becoming famous in one battle, Li Cunxu was transporting grain, but was repeatedly attacked by the Khitans here..."
"I don't know how many bones of arrogant soldiers are buried here..." Feng Ziying said with emotion.
"This is Anzhou. The state is governed by Guogecheng County. The surrounding swamps are continuous. It is necessary to have a guide who is familiar with the terrain to avoid getting lost. Otherwise, once you enter the swamp, you may not be able to get out in three to five days..."
"According to the opinions of the Governor, and after combining some of your views, the staff has initially formulated some ideas..."
"Everyone, please see, this is Bazhou. Bazhou is currently controlled by Mi Bei's troops, with his nephew Mi Heng as the leader. The number of rebels is about 20,000, divided into three parts, from the south of Bazhou to Baoding (county
) There are more than 8,000 people on this front line, more than 5,000 people in Bazhou City, and more than 7,000 people stationed in Wen'an County..."
"This is Anzhou and Renqiu. Wang Haoyi's main force is concentrated here. He personally controls it, with about 12,000 troops. Xiong County in the north is controlled by Zhou Yin, with about 10,000 troops. ...
"
"This means that Wang Haoyi, as Young Master Bai Lian, has the least amount of troops..." Ma Chengxun had just arrived, and he didn't quite understand the situation, so he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"The relationship here is more complicated. Mi Bei is the local leader here and the nominal Mi Bodhisattva, but she is also a woman. She respects Wang Haoyi more, but Mi Heng is very ambitious, so he always wants to squeeze Wang Haoyi out.
Let's go, but we can't do too much. Mi Heng and Zhou Yin have a very close relationship and have formed a very close alliance..."
"In other words, if we attack the weakest Zhou Yin first, we may attract Mi Heng's full support. But if we attack Wang Haoyi, it will be difficult for Mi Heng?" Ma Jinbao also laughed, "Although these rebels
The fighting ability is average, but they are still fighting among themselves, isn't this asking for death?"
"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. If it is really that simple, how could it be so delayed in the early stage?" Feng Ziying said coldly.
Only then did Ma Jinbao realize that his words were a bit disparaging to the Ji Zhen Army. In the early stage, the Ji Zhen Army was in a quagmire here and failed to fight a decent battle.
Ma Jinbao quickly apologized to You Shiwei, but You Shiwei didn't care. This was not entirely Ji Zhenjun's fault. If he was to blame, it was Yuan Yingtai, the idiot.
Next, the people from the staff began to introduce to the generals the advantages and difficulties in this battle, and what problems may arise, in order to maximize the response measures, and finally lay out tactics.
The county seat of Gaoyang is still under government control, but the surrounding area has been basically besieged by Wang Haoyi's rebel army, and the situation is very critical.
If no action is taken in time, it is estimated that Gaoyang County will fall within three to five days.
By then, Anzhou, Gaoyang, and Renqiu will be connected in a line from the west to the south surrounding Baiyangdian, and will also be connected with the Miheng control area in the east.
Therefore, if we want to fight, we must start from the breakthrough point of Gaoyang, but Feng Ziying is not satisfied with this progress.
Taking only Gaoyang County, or defeating this part of Wang Haoyi's control area, would seem to be too small a move. If we continue to attack step by step, we only have four months, and we may not be able to achieve our goal.
