For the generals, they should take precautions, perceive the danger in advance, and avoid the evil, so that they can be worthy of the position of the chief general of the three armies.
Just after receiving the news that Li Shimin had died in Qingzhou and Chen Ziyun's entire army was annihilated, Le Yi immediately realized that the Han army would encircle Xuzhou as quickly as possible, and in the face of the Han army's encirclement, Xuzhou's 70,000 Wei troops were likely to follow in Chen Ziyun's footsteps.
Le Yi quickly convened the only remaining military generals in Xiapi City to hold a military meeting, Guo Ziyi, Cao Di, Da Xi Changru, Jing Si, Lu Zhishen and others rushed to the conference hall as quickly as possible, and everyone gathered around to look at the map, looking for a route that could be withdrawn to Jizhou.
But judging from the intelligence collected by the scouts, Le Yi and his generals were desperate, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that all the important towns and fortresses had been controlled by the Han army, and the Wei army trapped in Xuzhou wanted to return to Jizhou from the land unless they had wings.
From east to west, the Han army took the Yellow River as a straight line, almost lined up.
In the easternmost part of Jinan, an army of 250,000 led by Li Jing was sharpening its swords, raising ships, and preparing to cross the Yellow River to pursue the Tang army in the north.
Moving 150 miles west from Jinan, 670,000 horses led by Wei Yan and Long He were stationed in the area of Luxian and Dong'e, and it was estimated that the purpose was to cut off the road for the Xuzhou army to go north.
From Dong'e to the west, there is the garrison of Baima, covering the entire Dongjun, Chen Liu's Zhuge Liang Corps, is leading Xue Rengui, Han Shizhong and others in Baimajin to fight horses, preparing to cross the river to attack Liyang, sword pointing at Yecheng.
With the military talents of Zhuge Liang and Xue Rengui, with about 150,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, they naturally would not let the Wei army in Xuzhou slip away from under their noses.
As long as the Xuzhou army has a stir, Zhuge Liang will inevitably take countermeasures to wipe out the Xuzhou Wei army.
From Dongjun to the west to the Tiger Prison Pass, not to mention that the Tiger Prison Pass is unbreakable, even if the door is open to meet the Wei army in Xuzhou, but there are 100,000 horses led by Xu Da and Zhang Xutuo in the west stationed in Xingyang, and Cao Renyao on the north bank of the Yellow River confronts him.
Even if the Yellow River is crossed from Luoyang, there are still 150,000 horses led by Xu Huang and Chen Ping stationed in Yixian County in the north and Xu Da's army are at each other's horns, and they are currently controlling the east and looking north, and they don't know whether the next step is to prepare to attack Cao Ren or go north to attack Bingzhou Bitterly smiling, Le Yi, who had been appointed by Cao Cao as the chief general of the Xuzhou Legion, could only smile bitterly: "Hehe, colleagues, take a look, from Jinan in Qingzhou, to Hanoi County, Sizhou, along the Yellow River, less than 1,000 miles, there are seven or eight hundred thousand Han troops stationed, even if we put on our wings, we are afraid that we will not be able to fly to the Yellow River."
What's even more deadly is that nearly a million Han troops not only blocked the south bank of the Yellow River, but Guan Yu is leading 100,000 horses from Qingzhou to Xuzhou to the south, while Meng Hui and Qi Jiguang also gathered 50,000 soldiers from Jinling to the north, preparing to attack the north and south, and annihilate the Wei army stranded in Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
After listening to Le Yi's analysis, the hall was silent.
It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, plus the Weiqing Legion of the Eastern Expedition to the Tang State, and the Gongsun Qi Legion of the Wa State to pacify the Wa State, the Han army in the East alone exceeded 1.5 million.
In addition, Wu Qi, who was resting in the west, had about 500,000 troops, and Yue Fei had about 300,000 troops; If you add the forbidden army, the imperial forest army, the monk soldiers, the Taoist soldiers, and the county soldiers of various states and counties, the total strength of the Han army has exceeded three million.
With the three million army of Mount Tai on the top, it seems that the demise of Tang Wei is only a matter of time, if it is fast, it may not be able to support the winter, and if it is slow, it will be a matter of two plants in three years.
"Since you can't break through the siege, just kill the area around Peiguo and Qiaojun to fight guerrillas, burn, kill, and plunder, and turn the hinterland of the Han army upside down" Guo Ziyi stroked his sword in his hand, with a posture of dying together.
Le Yi shook his head: "The Han army is not only a military general who can use soldiers, but also knows the art of war in all states.
Xie An, the assassin of Yuzhou, sent 10,000 county soldiers to block Dangxian, and Zhang Hong, the assassin of Jingzhou, sent 8,000 county soldiers to guard Shouchun.
Although the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers is average, they will not be able to open the road in a short period of time, but they will soon be caught up by Guan Yu and Meng Heng and surrounded in the center, encountering a catastrophe. ” "Anyone can see that Cao Wei's general trend has gone, so my brother might as well come down."
Just as the generals were talking, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door that made everyone feel a little familiar.
Countless pairs of eyes swept towards the door, only to find that the person who came turned out to be Le Yi's cousin Le Yang.
Hearing Le Yang's words, Le Yi's face instantly darkened, like the sky before the storm, and he stroked his sword and asked in a hissing voice: "You exhausted your lips and tongue last night, didn't I ask you to leave Xiapi quickly, why do you dare to make a big statement in front of everyone?"
Le Yang hugged his fists and said: "Brother is angry, the reason why the younger brother braved the world's disapproval to come to see your colleagues is also for your good."
"Shut up, if you dare to shake the heart of the army again, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword" Le Yi clenched the hilt of his sword and warned in a hoarse voice.
Le Yang still refused to give up, and continued to persuade: "Colleagues, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dawei is finished.
Millions of Han troops pressed the border, a year at the latest, or half a year at the earliest, and Cao Wei would die.
What's the point of everyone holding on any longer, it's better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, lay down your arms and surrender to the Han court."
After all, Le Yang is Le Yi's cousin, and everyone looked at Le Yi to see how the commander of the three armies would decide whether to serve the country with death, or obey the mandate of heaven and surrender to the Han Dynasty Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Le Yang continued to advise: "You see how much Han Baohu has a good time, and after surrendering to the Han Dynasty, he was appointed as a partial general, and he is currently serving under Xu Da.
After Brother Wenqian and I were arrested, generals such as Kong Ming, Rengui, and Shizhong took turns to advise them, and they knew them with affection and reason, and in desperation, Le could only return to the court."
"Shameless people, greedy people, dare to talk about it here" Le Yi shouted angrily, and with a flash of cold light, he cut off the head of Le Yang, who was caught off guard, and blood splattered out of the cavity in an instant, splashing Le Yi's body.
Unexpectedly, Le Yi stabbed his cousin in front of everyone's eyes, and all the generals were shocked, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Le Yi pointed to Le Yang's corpse and made a generous statement: "Le Yang is greedy for life and afraid of death, betrays the lord for glory, and is more than innocent After he and Brother Wen Qian were captured, my brother would rather die than surrender, and he is still in prison; But this dog thief was greedy for life and afraid of death, not only surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also worked as a lobbyist for Zhuge Liang, and sneaked into Xiapi last night to persuade me to abandon Wei and join the Han.
I couldn't bear to kill him out of brotherhood, and ordered him to leave quickly.
I didn't expect to be stubborn, and came to the council hall to make a big fuss, shaking the morale of the army, like such a disloyal and unrighteous person, Leyi can only kill with his own hands, in order to set an example" t1706231537:
