Chapter 448: What a big game of chess


Eat the rice one bite at a time, or you will choke.

The road should be walked in a down-to-earth manner, and it cannot be a place where the foothold is unstable.

The recent move of the Han State has great intentions, and the appropriate retreat of the Han army on the front line is just a necessary adjustment, after all, the number of troops has increased too rapidly in the short term, and many troops are fighting outside all year round, so it should be sorted out no matter what.

"It's just that the army near Chaoge is left behind, and it is best to continue to put on a posture that it is necessary to rescue Huan Wen's troops, and it is best to attract more enemy troops, if not" Liu Yan was in the garden of Miyagi, and continued to discuss with a group of core officials: "Give up some areas, and the Hu people will definitely fill those gaps again, and it will be the time for us to send troops north again." ” The current situation of the Han State and the Shijie Zhao State is entangled with each other, because the Han army has divided into multiple sorties and captured many enclaves, which is a manifestation of chaos and an improper use of troops.

The garden in Miyagi does not occupy a large area, mainly because Liu Yan usually has no leisure and elegance to play with flowers and plants, and it can even be said that he does not spend much time in Miyagi, and even those sparse harems spend most of his time patrolling outside.

In autumn, the leaves of the plants turn yellow, and a large number of leaves fall, adding an endless yellow color to the field of vision, which is a bit depressing.

"Your Majesty, it is appropriate for the new army to be transferred back to the mainland to quell the rebellion.

It's just that Ji Chang patted the fallen leaves on his shoulders, frowned and said: "With 50,000 Praetorian Guards as the main force, deploy 80,000 field regiments, and drive 130,000 soldiers and horses straight in, isn't it too risky?"

The Han army is what kind of army it should be, and the Hu people are both soldiers and people, so the Hu people always have hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn.

On the battlefield centered on Chaoge, the strength of the Han army there was about 210,000.

More than 30,000 of these 210,000 were besieged by about 340,000 Hu people, and at the same time, there were 180,000 Han troops on the periphery surrounding these Hu people from three sides.

It is three or four hundred thousand Hu people, not three or four hundred thousand Hu soldiers, and this point should be clarified and explained no matter what.

It is precisely because it is three or four hundred thousand Hu people, the 180,000 soldiers and horses on the periphery of the Han army can be sandwiched from the three loaves, just to give way to the gap in the direction of Yecheng, if the three or four hundred thousand Hu people are really like the regular army on the Han side, it will definitely be difficult to do it.

"The widow still feels that it has been delayed for a long time."

Liu Yan was actually extremely depressed about the good Puyang County fighting like this, and he pointed out: "Shi Hu has created internal turmoil for us, and the intention is to let us withdraw from the army, and he is good at managing and accumulating national strength."

We have already taken a posture of withdrawing our troops in the area other than the Chaoge battlefield, and he must have thought that his strategy had succeeded, and confusing the enemy was confusing the enemy, but he didn't really want to give them more time.

Moreover, the compatriots in Shijie can't wait that long. ” How to say it, in fact, except for Liu Yan, who really cares about the Han family and Miao descendants in Shijie Zhao Kingdom, the rest of the people don't pay much attention to it at all.

This is related to ideological concepts, and the better the background, the more people ignore the common people, and basically regard them as numbers and tools, and it is difficult to show any compassion.

Liu Yan is different, he has a full set of national concepts.

Several other people expressed their opinions one after another, but because Liu Yan was determined, what they said was basically echoed, and some omissions were added according to the actual situation.

It's October, less than two months before the onset of winter.

According to Liu Yan's meaning, it has been almost two years since the outbreak of the Battle of Puyang to the present stage, and Shijie Zhao State was not fully prepared for war at the beginning, and it dragged on for almost two years.

Liu Yan's return to Linzi and the retreat of the Han army on the northern front were also making a false impression, making people who did not know the place think that the Han State was turning from offensive to defensive.

There was turmoil within the Han State, which was a reality that could be judged without too much deliberate reconnaissance, and on this basis, and the Han army was constantly mobilizing within the country to quell the rebellion, it was normal for the Han army to turn to the defensive and continue to maintain the offensive from the perspective of common sense.

After repeated conscription, it was a comprehensive mobilization of the stable elite areas and newly occupied areas, and after statistics, the number of troops in the Han State was approaching the figure of 750,000.

Among the 750,000 troops, the number of field regiments, including the recruits recruited in the first and second phases, was actually only 270,000, the number of garrison troops in various places was 80,000, the newly formed new army accounted for 200,000, and the rest were servant troops and slave armies.

Now the Han State wants to create the illusion of turning to the defensive, the troops on the outer line are transferred backwards, and the new army is sent to suppress the rebellion, posing a situation of contraction.

The constant movement of troops will make people look dizzy, and only the core class knows what they want to do, and more people are confused and puzzled.

On the day of August 19, Ran Min, who was in Fangtou, finished freshening up early in the morning, and he was waiting for the arrival of 30,000 Praetorian Guards, and at the same time there were also Tiger Ben troops.

Since the current main battlefield of the Han army is in Chaoge, the generals who commanded many roads before were naturally on the scene, and they were summoned when the sky was slightly bright, and after gathering to Ran Min's big tent from everywhere, they saw Ran Min who couldn't hide his excitement, and when he saw Wang Meng was also present, he immediately guessed that something big would happen.

Ran Min and the other generals who should have arrived arrived, without any nonsense, and said directly to Wang Meng: "Let's start." ” Wang Meng came with an edict, and got Ran Min's instructions without delay, and thought Liu Yan's will, but first announced the appointment of Ran Min as the general of the expedition to the north, and clearly pointed out that Ran Min would lead the army to the Northern Expedition, and then announced the promotion and appointment of some people.

"The king's will is clear."

Ran Min had a reason to be excited, and after the appointment of the general of Zhengbei was issued, he became the first general of the Han army.

He looked around at everyone, focused on Xu Zheng, Xie An, Li Kuang, Qian Jian and a few others, and said solemnly: "Unless this Northern Expedition is under another order from the king, it can be hit anywhere." ” Chaoge is one hundred and eighty miles away from Yecheng from the plane map, but in fact it must be more than one hundred and eighty miles short, after all, the road is not straight.

Xu Zheng looked at the high-spirited Ran Min and was a little depressed in his heart, his official position of Zhengbei Zhonglang was not moved, but the title was raised by two levels.

Depressed to depressed, but he knows some things very well, it is not by chance that Ran Min became the general of the expedition to the north, in addition to the war exploits, there is also the most important factor, that is, the original Ran Min army was consumed a little large.

After the Ran clan did not have the Qin State, the original Ran Min army was reorganized into more than 80,000 into the Han army, and these people were not handed over to Ran Min for direct command, but were assigned to Xie An and Huan Wen.

Huan Wen got some tasks to attack Chaoge, and the troops he brought with him suffered heavy losses, Ran Min has never gossiped about it, and the center has to give Ran Min some affirmation and compensation.

After saying the overall situation, Ran Min once again showed his vigorous and resolute side, and called his name strongly: "Xie An, Li Kuang." ” Xie An and Li Kuang stood up and saluted.

"Xie An led the headquarters to detour to the north and cut off the enemy's retreat."

Ran Min issued an order and handed it to Zhang Shi for archiving, then looked at Li Kuang and said, "Li Kuang led the headquarters to enter Yecheng from a posture, and after a false shot, he entered Changle. ” Xie An's headquarters has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Li Kuang's headquarters also has 50,000 soldiers and horses.

One is in the west and the other is in the east, and they will eventually make a detour to the back of the enemy army, which is equivalent to becoming a pincer to cut off the back road of the enemy army.

"The rest of the people will follow the general."

Ran Min said and stood up: "If there is anything you don't understand, ask quickly, and go back to the headquarters if you don't have any doubts."

After a pause, he added: "Qian Jiantong, Li Tan, you stay." ” There must be doubts, most people thought they were going to be on the defensive in all directions, but what just happened showed that they were guessing wrong.

There wasn't much to say at the meeting, it was limited to the movements on this side of the battlefield, and everyone would think about what new changes the situation would have.

Since the outbreak of the racial collision, Qian Jiantong has been a little complicated recently, he originally thought that he would be transferred out of the Tiger Ben Army, either to be transferred back to Linzi to be idle, or to be transferred to an unimportant front, but he didn't expect those things to happen.

The Tiger Ben Army is a very important armed force in the Han State, although the establishment is only eight thousand, it can be said that it is an absolute elite army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Qian Jiantong, who was left behind, had a stiff face, and he felt that Wang Meng, who was still in the tent at the next moment, said that the king's transfer of the new personnel of the main general of the Tiger Ben Army would not surprise him at all.

"Shi Hu himself has withdrawn to Yecheng, and most of the Longteng guards have also followed and retreated, and these Hu people on the Chaoge battlefield are a group of people who have been abandoned."

Ran Min saw that Qian Jiantong was a little wrong but didn't care, he left the two of them because he had something to say clearly: "Ben General wants to use a devastating posture to defeat or annihilate the enemy army in front of him, most of the enemy troops don't need to care too much, and the unique Shi Xuan's East Palace Gaoli needs to be taken seriously." ” Shi Xuan was the commander of the Chaoge battlefield, and his Donggong Gaoli was the main force on this battlefield, and Shi Hu also left 1,500 armored cavalry and 3,000 heavy infantry.

"There is no residual heat, no temptation" Ran Min said sonorously: "What I want is to attack with all my strength once the general attack is made, the Tiger Ben Army and the Yulin Army will become the vanguard, you must not have the slightest slackness" Qian Jiantong couldn't help but look at Wang Meng who was standing in the corner, but he smiled when he saw that Wang Meng was also looking over.

"Be serious" Ran Min really didn't think much about it, and yelled at Qian Jiantong: "Ben will be talking, what are you distracted?"

"This" Qian Jiantong's heart trembled involuntarily when he was yelled, and Ran Min, who had eyes in his eyes, was actually a little terrifying when he stared at people, so he had to salute and said: "If you make a mistake in your job, please punish the general." ” Ran Min said some more reprimands, and waved his hand to let Qian Jiantong and Li Tan leave.

Qian Jiantong, who came out of the big tent, was in a trance, wondering why he was not transferred out of the Tiger Army, and even got an important task as a striker.

Li Tan and Qian Jiantong are not generally familiar, and they have found out that Qian Jiantong's abnormal situation is not easy to persuade in the big tent, and there are only two people in the big tent, so he said: "Su Xiao, don't think too much." ” Qian Jiantong smiled bitterly and said: "In the current situation, I can't help but think about it too much." ” Li Tan was a little angry when he heard it, and roared: "Su Xiao was ordered under the command of the king in Changguang County, and the word Su Xiao was given by the king."

What do you think about without dissent?"

It has to be said that the relationship between the two began to get closer from the killing of Murong Xianbei, the envoy of their fathers, and they know very well what their current status is.

It was Xiqian Bailiao and Li Mingzhi who were killed and made Liu Yan feel guilty, and with the king to deliberately cultivate, the two were indeed competitive, and now they have become the commanders of the two special titles.

From top to bottom, military orders were conveyed layer by layer, and some of the troops that should be withdrawn were also withdrawn.

Shi Xuan, who personally presided over the command, found Zhang Qun after discovering that some troops of the Han army had retreated, and asked in confusion: "The Han army has stopped the offensive, there are already troops retreating, they are friendly troops who don't care about being surrounded."

"Your Majesty's call has worked, and the instability of the Han border will inevitably cause the Han army to retreat."

Zhang Qun learned about it and learned the number of retreating Han troops, and said quite confidently: "The hinterland is chaotic, the front line is difficult to maintain, and it is the right thing to abandon the encircled troops and focus on the rear." ” "Oh" General Shi Xuan smiled suspiciously, and said a new message: "The situation encountered by Yan Gong's side is similar, the Han army in Jizhou launched a wave of offensive to no avail, and took the initiative to retreat. ” "That says the story even more."

Zhang Qun said firmly: "The puppet king Liu Yan will never allow the internal turmoil to last too long, and can only mobilize troops from the front line to return to quell the rebellion." ” Shi Xuan was still young after all, and when he saw that Zhang Qun was firm, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great."

They fought around Huan Wen's headquarters for nearly a month and a half, but there were a lot of dead people, but they only peeled off a camp barrier in Huan Wen's department, in fact, the morale dropped again and again, and Shi Hu withdrew from the battlefield with the main force, which made it difficult to continue the offensive.

"The rise of the puppet king Liu Yan is too fast, and the foundation is unstable, and it is a fact that the troops have been exhausted by fighting day and day for many years, and the consumption of materials is even greater."

Zhang Qun said the usual status quo, he said to Shi Xuan: "It is often said that one is drummed, two is declining, and three is exhausted.

Now it should also be the time when the Han army can no longer maintain the offensive, and it is the moment when the prince has made a great profit. ” Shi Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked with interest: "How do you say it?"

"The reinforcements for the encircled troops to relieve the siege retreated, and the besieged Han army knew what to think about this situation" Zhang Qun obviously had a plan, and said with a smile: "The besieged Han army should be allowed to recognize the facts, they had reinforcements to relieve the siege before, if they knew that the reinforcements were retreating, even if they couldn't make it collapse on their own, they should have no morale at all."

As soon as this morale rises and falls, it will be easy for the prince to annihilate the besieged Han army. ” Shi Xuan thought about it and felt that what Zhang Qun said was very reasonable, and immediately showed a happy smile
