Facing Zhao Yu's inquiry, Guo Jia immediately pointed to the map in front of him and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the report from our army's outpost, the reinforcements of the Shu and Wei coalition forces, after you originally wanted to support Hanzhong Xicheng failed, you have been in Baishui City in Badong County, Yizhou.And if our army wants to enter Yizhou smoothly, it must pass through this Baishui, and seeing that this army is determined to fight with our army in Baishui City. ”After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask again: "Oh, so this battle is unavoidable, can't we enter Yizhou from other directions If the Shu Wei combined soldiers and horses are in the land of Baishui in Yizhou, we might as well bypass it directly, and then the army will move in directly."
Presumably, with the number of soldiers and horses of our army, the two generals of Shu and Wei will not be able to come up with enough troops to resist and intercept the southward movement of our army. ”Guo Jia did not hesitate at the moment, and responded to Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty has this idea, it is not untrue, but if you want to bypass Baishui City from other places, you must consume several times more time.Due to the complex terrain of Yiju and the dangerous mountain shape, it would be impossible for my army to march secretly if it wanted to pass through other places.With my army of more than 300,000, at most I can only dispatch less than 50,000 soldiers and horses to take this dangerous mountain road. ”After Zhao Yu heard this, he said quite depressedly: "This is actually the case, if it is said that the detour can only carry less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, then the advantage of our army's more than 300,000 troops this time is useless."
With an army of more than 300,000 troops, only 50,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched to attack the enemy's hinterland. ”Xu Shu, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhao Yu, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The land of Yizhou is very complicated, and if you want to go around, it is inconvenient for too many soldiers and horses to drive to it.Although Shu and Wei have gathered heavy troops in Baishui, with the strength of our more than 300,000 troops, no matter how many troops Shu Wei soldiers and horses have stationed in Baishui City, Yizhou, we can also destroy them in one fell swoop.As long as Baishui City is taken, it is equivalent to opening up the passage to Yizhou, and when the time comes, with Baishui City as the station, it can be attacked, retreated and defended, just like a sharp thorn into Yizhou's throat.Therefore, Your Majesty does not need to hesitate this time, and directly issue a military order, and the army will wave its troops to capture Yizhou. ”After Xu Shu's voice lagged behind, Lu Xun also hurriedly spoke: "Yes, Your Majesty, if half of the country is now under my Zhao Kingdom."
As long as Yizhou Baishui can be captured, it is equivalent to a big step forward, and taking Yizhou is just around the corner. ”Immediately, I saw Zhao Yu as if he had made up his mind, and said seriously: "Well, since you all have such confidence, why should I be afraid, but I can know who the defending generals and military advisors of Baishui City are this time" Ma Dai on the side immediately spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the report from the sentinel, the generals of the Shu army in the Wei-Shu coalition this time are the old generals Yan Yan, Wang Ping and Wei Yan, and the marching military division is said to be the proud son of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu State, Ma Yan, and one of the five constants of the Ma family in Xiangyang, Jingzhou.Ma Jian is the youngest of the five permanent members of the Ma family, but Ma Jian is very talented and likes to talk about military strategies.It is rumored that Zhuge Liang takes a fancy to him very much, and attaches great importance to him, and every time he introduces and talks, day and night, even other people in Shu call Ma Jian a wise man. ”When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "It turned out to be Ma Yan, although he has some intelligence, but he is just an empty talker, he just likes to talk on paper."
Zhuge Liang sent him to lead the army this time and fight against us, which was nothing more than asking for hardship.Of course, we can't be careless about this, as long as we can do our best, we will definitely defeat it in one fell swoop. ”After hearing Zhao Yu's words, everyone showed a look of surprise, no one thought that even Ma Yan, a young talent who was very valued by Zhuge Liang and Shu Han Zhongchen, was so poor in Zhao Yu's eyes.And there are many people who know that Zhao Yu has always liked to attract talented and capable people, but when they see Zhao Yu like this, they know that they don't have any good impression of Ma Jian and others this time, and some people can't help but ask Zhao Yu happily: "Why does Your Majesty evaluate Ma Jian like this, does Your Majesty know that Ma Tan" Everyone asked, Zhao Yu was speechless, it was indeed as everyone thought in their hearts.Although the B army and the Shu army have fought many times, they have never fought against Na Ma Tan, so no one in the army knows the truth of Na Ma Tan at all.Now I have heard that Ma Tan's ability to speak, but I only know it from the rumors within the Shu Kingdom, as for why I know that Ma Tan is so bad, it is because of that historical event, Ma Tan was sent by Zhuge Liang to the enemy Wei State, guarding the street pavilion and losing the street pavilion.There is just one thing, Zhao Yu doesn't know, this time Ma Yan led his troops and horses to fight with Army B, will he commit the problem of losing the street pavilion.Suddenly, Guo Jia arched his hand at Zhao Yu and said: "Your Majesty, although the alliance between Shu and Wei has sent troops to resist our Zhao State this time, our army has clearly discovered that the total strength of the two countries is less than 100,000 horses at most.And our army has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, presumably for the intelligence of our army, the Shu and Wei countries are also very clear.Under the disparity of the strength of the two sides by several times, the two armies of Shu and Wei will definitely not fight our army head-on with weak forces, and will inevitably set up an ambush to lure our army to go and kill and engage from the side. ”After Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head and praise, and immediately turned his head and asked Guo Jiadao: "Is it worthy of Guo Jia, you can actually see the enemy's tricks at a glance, then Guo Jia, do you have any countermeasures, do you have insight into the enemy's strategy" At that moment, Guo Jia hurriedly spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, please forgive Guo Jia for not being talented, I didn't think that the enemy army would have any bad actions for the time being." ”Zhao Yu nodded and couldn't help but say: "Well, it's no wonder to you, after all, we haven't started a war with the enemy army, so it's a little difficult for you to think about the enemy's tricks."
In the future, after our army fights with the enemy, it is not too late to make a decision, let's all retreat later, and start preparing for the march of the army, and the army will march in early tomorrow morning, directly attacking Yizhou, the first stop is Baishui City. ”After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu looked at everyone at the time, and then said: "All the soldiers listen to the order, tomorrow's battle is the first battle of our army to enter Yizhou, so this Baishui City, I am bound to win."
No matter what happens, I must take this city with all my might, and I will personally supervise the battle at all costs. ”All the generals said in unison: "With Your Majesty personally supervising the battle, our army will definitely be able to take Baishui City in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, under the leadership of Your Majesty, the army will go straight into the hinterland of Yizhou, and all the soldiers of Shu Wei will also kill themselves like praying mantises." ”After the entire council was over, Zhao Yu dismissed everyone, and all the soldiers retreated and began to get busy.In particular, those generals have returned to their headquarters barracks and began to deploy troops in advance, and the army will set out early tomorrow morning, so these things must be prepared in advance, otherwise when they wait until tomorrow, they will only be delayed.Early the next morning, Zhao Yu led the generals to the point of the generals, and after some words, Zhao Yu led everyone and the entire army to the expedition, and the target was naturally the land of Baishui City in Yizhou.When Zhao Yu led an army of more than 300,000 people towards Baishui City in Yizhou, along the way, Zhao Yu strictly forbade the army not to trample on the land, otherwise all the tramples' monthly income would be deducted to compensate for the damaged people.For Zhao Yu's explicit prohibition and severe punishment, all the soldiers felt acquiesced and praised, but the soldiers would not be negligent and rash to make mistakes.After all, everyone is not worried about those salaries, but no one is willing to be the first to destroy the military orders issued by His Majesty, which will only become a laughing stock in the army.Although the army was about to enter the area around Baishui City, Guo Jia couldn't help but say to Zhao Yu beside him: "Your Majesty, when you go ahead, you will enter the boundary of Baishui City.If my army of more than 300,000 soldiers and horses enters the boundary of Whitewater City directly like this, I am afraid that it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy.What's more, the purpose of the enemy army this time is to use some tactics to fight our army with fewer strikes and more, so Guo Jia thinks that we should disperse the entire army, and it is best to be able to divide it into front, middle, and rear troops. ”In this case, if the officers and men of the front army are ambushed by the enemy, the officers and men of the middle army can rush forward and counterattack, and the soldiers of the rear army can sweep the formation in the rear.In other words, if the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army are ambushed, the soldiers and horses of the front army and the rear army can rush up and flank the front and rear.If the enemy deliberately spares the soldiers and horses of our front army and the middle army, causing the soldiers and horses of the rear army to be ambushed, then the officers and men of our front army can directly and quickly attack the city of Baishui, and the officers and men of the Chinese army will return and join forces with the officers and men of the rear army to kill the enemy. ”After hearing Guo Jia's plan, Zhao Yu was immediately overjoyed, and couldn't help but open his mouth in public and praise: "Well, Guo Jia's strategy is really good, even if the Shu and Wei combined soldiers have tens of thousands.However, our Zhao army has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops are divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, and each army has 100,000 soldiers and horses.With sufficient preparations, even if the entire army is deliberately ambushed by the enemy, as long as it can be deployed in advance, it will definitely be able to defend against the enemy's ambush.They will even take the opportunity to counterattack the enemy, causing the enemy to lose their troops. ”At that moment, Zhao Yu waved his hand and issued a military order to the generals beside him, asking them to lead the soldiers and horses of their headquarters, and then divided the army of more than 300,000 troops into three routes.Then Zhao Yu and Guo Jia led the soldiers and horses of the front army, Xu Shu was responsible for leading the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army, and Lu Xun led the soldiers and horses of the rear army, all the way to Baishui City
