Shu Chen

Chapter 475
"General, let me think for a moment."

Hearing Wei Yan's question, Zheng Pu didn't answer immediately, but made a complaint.

Regarding this, Wei Yan didn't urge any more, nodded and said "Okay, don't rush for a while", then picked up the kumiss bag again, and resumed the sleepy look when he was sitting alone.

In fact, Zheng Pu was already inclined towards the second plan.

And in fact, Wei Yan did not give Zheng Pu any room to make suggestions.

Because of what he said, let Zheng Pu come to Yangcheng to supervise the battle, and continue to besiege Yangcheng with three troops and horses, and only send one or two thousand cavalry to go south. The troops under his control are enough to go straight to attack the counties in Longdong.

Yes, in the face of the Wei army who is desperately defending, it doesn't matter whether Yangcheng is trapped or not.

Moreover, according to the time of consultation with Jiangdong to support the Northern Expedition, it was after the autumn harvest that this year's grain and fodder were harvested. Xiaoguan and Gaoping City are both in the hands of the Han army. Woolen cloth?
What Zheng Pu is thinking about now is what variables will be created if Wei Yandu's troops go south to occupy the Siwei meeting and dredge the Weishui River Valley.

If you forewarn, you will stand.

It's not about making a decisive decision to catch a fighter right in front of the battle. How can there be no deduction before the military war planning and decision-making, so that everything can be considered properly.

In other words, Wei Yan's scheme is as radical as ever.

The benefits are naturally as he said, but there are also many disadvantages.

The first to bear the brunt is the Prime Minister's Department.

Before entering Guanzhong, under the dispatch of the prime minister, Wei Yan's troops could enter the Siwei meeting only after he entered Wuzhangyuan with his own supervisor to attract Wei to attack.Now that the State of Wei did not attack Wuzhangyuan, if Wei Yanti went there, the entire situation of both sides would be changed.

If Wei Yan widened the Weishui River Valley across Longshan Mountain to connect Longyou and stationed troops at the meeting of Siwei, he would have given up the strategy of going to occupy Qishan and Wuzhangyuan to look north and south, and to isolate the west of Youfufeng from Guanzhong.

Yes, this move made the meaning of the prime minister stationing troops in Wuzhangyuan no longer exist.

Only forced to give up, he went to Dasan Pass to defend Chencang City together with Wei Yanbu.

Gein's strategic deployment will fall into limitations-if Chen Cangcheng is not pulled out, the Han army will not be able to drive to the heart of Guanzhong!

Another variable is that Longdong is difficult to pull out.

In terms of migrating Lishu, Wei State has always been fast.For example, when Sima Yi deployed defenses last year and fortified the walls to clear the country, he also took advantage of the trend to move all the Li and Shu in the west of Mei County to Jingzhao Yin or Zuo Fengyi.

Turn everything north of Chencang into an uninhabited war zone.

Whether it is the Han army or the Wei army, it is very easy for them to drive and attack quickly.

However, Wei Yan claimed that Zheng Pu would continue to defend Yangcheng. Once Chencangcheng failed to attack and Zheng Pu was required to attack Longdong County to deploy against Wei, Gaoping City would fall into a weak defense.

Although Gaoping City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter how many soldiers and horses against the Wei Dynasty come to attack, they can hold on for several months without losing it until the arrival of reinforcements.

However, Ni Wei can gather around and fight for help~
Just like in the past when Wei Wei besieged Shuyin City Fortress and seized the first opportunity!
And don't question Wei's lack of troops and the lack of strength to besiege Gaoping City.

The Chinese army against Wei Luoyang can do it.

Jiangdong's attack on Shouchun in Huainan can only hold back the Luoyang Central Army against the Wei Dynasty for a while. If we hope that they can make it impossible for the Luoyang Central Army to look west.
It's hard!
For one thing, Shouchun City is not so easy to break through.

Facts speak louder than words.

Calculating from the previous record, it goes without saying that Jiangdong's generals are capable of fighting in the field!
Everyone in the big man understands that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

After all, Jiangdong now has no strong generals like Gan Ning who dared to climb the city with stones and ants, and inspired the soldiers to break the city without fear of death.

On the other hand, if Jiangdong wants to enter the Huai River, the only way is to storm Shouchun City.

There is absolutely no room for tricks or tricks.

With the strength of Niwei on the Huainan front, supplemented by the county soldiers of Henan, Yanzhou, and Qingxu, they can hold the city without worrying about Luoyang Zhongjun.

That is to say, against Wei Cao Rui can first order Huainan to stick to it, and let the Luoyang Chinese Army enter Yongliang to fight.

For the great Han, the two countries worked together in the Northern Expedition, and the only slightly exciting news in Jiangdong now is that Sun Quan has begun to use Lu Xun as the governor of the Huainan battlefield.

With Lu Xun's ability, Cao Rui should be able to send Luoyang Zhongjun to the Huainan front, right?

Even if you can't break through Shouchun City, at least you can turn the battle into a tug-of-war, right?

This is the only hope of the big man.

If you can't do this, then Jiangdong really can't afford it.
cough!
There was a long silence.

The thoughtful Zheng Pu looked at Wei Yan, shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Oh, if there is a pause in this battle, the general will give me a banquet."

This seemingly irrelevant answer to the question made Wei Yan burst into laughter immediately.

"So, Zijin accepted me?"

He first asked a definite question, and then asked and answered himself, "I knew that Zijin acted in the same way as me! Hahaha~~"

Indeed, as Zheng Pu had expected, he did not give Zheng Pu any room for further details.

The reason why he asked Zheng Pu about urgent and urgent strategies was that he wanted Zheng Pu to co-sign a book with him in the prime minister, so that the prime minister would approve his strategy.

No way, his strategy needs the cooperation of the prime minister.

Moreover, in recent years, the prime minister has adopted Zheng Pu's strategies more than his own.

This time he is in charge of the main force, and he only needs to persuade Zheng Pu, who is in charge of the partial division, to agree with him, and the prime minister will not deny it again.

And why did Zheng Pu still get what he wanted?
Because in the face of Wei Guo's tactics of retreating and defending, Wei Yan's two strategies have already analyzed the pros and cons of the two strategies, and he himself has no better insights.

Furthermore, war is the way of life and death.

No matter what kind of planning you need to bear certain risks, there has never been a perfect theory, let alone a static theory.

"The general's plan has already calculated the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves! How can I say anything else?"

Accompanied by a few laughs, Zheng Pu nodded in response, "However, when the general goes south to the Siwei meeting, there is no need to keep troops to benefit me, and Zhao Yihong's [-] cavalry should also be included in the general's command to obey orders. "

Uh?
Wei Yan, who was full of joy, stopped laughing abruptly.

Nian Xu stared at Zheng Pu for a long time, and then tried to ask, "What does Zi Jin mean, is that he is not trapped against Wei Yangcheng anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Pu smiled sheepishly, and asked, "Why is our army still trapped in Yangcheng?"

It also surprised Wei Yan.

Qingzhi suddenly slapped his own leg and knee hard, "Hey! I know! What Zijin means is that the prime minister doesn't need to keep me trapped in Chen Cangcheng!" After saying that, he couldn't help but praise, "In the past, the prime minister often praised Zijin's talent and learning, saying that he could imitate Yihou's filial piety and straight strategy, and I think so now!"
