After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 465 Synchronization of offense and defense
Originally, Ran Qiu had a good personal relationship with Fan Chi, coupled with the changes in the state of Lu, as long as he is not blind, he can see it. Although he was imprisoned, Fan Chi did not suffer much. Yifan persuaded him So he promised to be an official.

Then a batch of supplies was urgently transported to Qufu, Chen He left Li Xin, the cavalry commander, and asked.

"Not only is the situation in Qufu City more complicated, but we have already instigated the people around Hou Zuo. As long as he makes any changes, my mother will be taken down immediately. At that time, you must quickly stabilize the army."

"Then cooperate with Ziyou and Fanzi to defend Qufu City. Among the military supplies sent this time are a large number of heavy crossbows. This is the first time it is used in the north, so it is best to be able to make extraordinary achievements when using it."

"In this way, the effect will be better, but don't just stick to it because of this. When it comes to a critical moment, don't be scruples. The most important thing is to be on guard and not lose it."

"Then I will leave with the army and wait for an opportunity to start a war. Because this time Jin and Qi are mostly cavalry, so I will avoid their main force. I am afraid it will be difficult to return to reinforcements in a short time."

After hearing this, Li Xin nodded heavily, with a look of pride on his face.

"Please don't worry, Commander. I only have one sentence here, that is, the city is alive and the people are dead. No matter what, it will not embarrass the King of Han. What's more, the people in Qufu City have had a good life in the past two years."

"They also actively participated in the training of the township soldiers. In this way, it is not a big problem for all of Qufu to defend the city. Moreover, the food and grass in the city are enough for the army to feed for half a year. I am confident in defending the city."

When Chen He heard what he said, he knew that he had made up his mind, so he stopped talking about leading the army.

But his first battle was not to meet the enemy, but to Feiyi. Along the way, he united the local soldiers from all over the country, chose experienced veterans as generals, and told them that once the enemy came, Don't be reckless.

It still adopts the defense strategy of Feiyi last time. On the one hand, it is responsible for transporting the people to a safe place in the rear. On the other hand, it is to seize every possible opportunity to harass the enemy army and slow down their journey.

Because the Han State has attached great importance to cavalry in recent years, the original Mengyi had a large number of horses, more than enough to equip these rural soldiers, and there are also armor and weapons eliminated by the regular army, which can also come in handy now.

In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops can be added to the old land of Lu State in an instant. Otherwise, it would be useless to deal with it head-on, but the harassment in the enemy's rear is absolutely effective, and it can also provide Chen He with the movements of the local army.

This time coming to Feiyi, the most important thing is to meet Bai Gui. Now the situation in the north of Han is not optimistic, so that Bai Gui, who has been sitting in Huaicheng all year round, has also rushed to Feiyi.

On the one hand, it is overall planning and supply of supplies to Qufu and Pengcheng, and on the other hand, it is to train troops and prepare for a protracted war. No matter what happens in Qufu or Pengcheng, he will be able to respond immediately.

Ji Ran is now old, and it is not a big problem to have Guo Xia's assistance in Huai City, so after Bai Gui arrived in Huai City, his first order was to all Han men in the old land of Lu State and Nanju City.

All people over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 must participate in military training. The young and strong are recruited first. With veterans as the backbone, they quickly organize military training in various places, and help cultivate crops in the villages, and enter a state where all the people are soldiers.

After Chen He arrived, Bai Gui looked at him with a smile on his face and said.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you seem to be getting more and more calm. The army is overwhelming. What countermeasures do you have here?"

Hearing this, Chen He told his plan again, and Bai Gui shook his head slightly after listening.

"Your layout is still a bit small. There is nothing wrong with the overall strategy, but there is one thing missing, that is, to patronize defense and not attack. This is too passive for the entire battle."

"Most of the enemies are now cavalry, and what you are doing is mainly to harass and prevent the opponent from attacking Qufu with all their strength. But don't forget, this time Zhao Jianzi also made a big bet. It can be said that he has come out in full force."

"At least from the current point of view, the old land of the Lu State should be difficult to defend. If so, why concentrate all the troops here? In my opinion, the infantry should be used as a surprise soldier and directly attack the Qi State."

"The current state of Qi obviously has a grudge against our state of Han, that's why they surrendered to the state of Jin so quickly. If so, then teach them a lesson that they must retreat. Didn't the people of Jin enter the state of Lu through Mengshan last time? "

"Then we will be able to enter the Qi State through Mengshan this time. With the elite infantry of the Han State, we should be hard-pressed to meet an enemy after arriving in the Qi State. Moreover, Tian Chang will personally lead the troops this time."

"Since he poisoned the king of Qi, many people of insight have left Qi. Although Tian Chang has a lot of bonuses, they are all flatterers and should not be our opponents."

"This time, my lord specially dispatched two generals, Meng Wu and Meng Lu, to come here for this purpose. When they were in Gumi City, they often learned the method of infantry training from General Liu Xiatuo, and they had a lot of experience."

"Then they will lead the infantry to attack the Qi State. The main goal is to take down the Great Wall of Qi. In this way, the Qi State will have no power to fight back against our Han State, and prepare for the future victory over the Qi State."

Chen He couldn't help gasping when he heard this. If he did this, it would be tantamount to using Lu State as a bait on the spot, and then attracting the coalition forces of Qi State and Jin State to Qufu.

Then use the limited force to move around, buy time for the infantry, and set off a storm in Qi State. Once the Qi Great Wall is captured by then, Qi State will not dare to send troops easily from now on.

Just kidding, the back road has been cut off by others. As soon as you send troops, the Han army can pass through the Great Wall of Qi and directly attack the mainland of Qi State, and there is no danger to defend along the way. In this case, Qi State is considered abolished .

After thinking of this, he said with a look of surprise on his face.

"It seems that my foresight and knowledge are still a little lacking. I didn't expect such a long-term. What you said is right. If this is the case, then I will leave the infantry in Feiyi and lead the cavalry to meet the enemy."

Bai Gui shook his head lightly, with a smile on his face.

"You don't need to be so anxious, there are still some things to be delivered, and there is another team that needs to be handed over to you to lead. With their battle this time, you will be more confident."
