Prime Minister take care

Chapter 253

Qihe Camp.

The Liang Army and the Shu Army had not yet reached a showdown, but the entire Zhounan County had already turned into a battlefield.

After Huan Bin led an army of [-] to the camp, the morale of the Liang army was greatly shaken and they had fought with the Shu army more than ten times.

In these more than ten battles, Liang Jun won more than he lost. The biggest victory was the heads of more than fifty Shu troops.

In Huan Bin's tent, he was discussing military affairs with a group of Liang generals, including Huan Biao.

Generally speaking, a war of this scale between Liang and Shu would start by testing each other to occupy favorable terrain and gain an advantage.

No one will pull out all their own troops as soon as they come up and fight to the death with the other party.Relying on geographical advantages and fighting step by step is the right way.

At this moment, Liang Jun wanted to fight the Shu army, but the Shu army was not in a hurry.These more than ten battles were fought between the two sides for favorable terrain, and the largest scale was only a thousand-man level.

"My lord, Yang Ping's Jishui camp was built on the south bank of Jishui, more than 200 miles away from our army. From the Qihe camp, you can go south along the river and enter Jishui, but the navy of Shu County is difficult to deal with. If we attack by land, not only will our army's food route be extended, but we will also have to deal with more than a dozen strongholds of the Shu army along the way."

Huan Biao spread out the map and described the situation between the enemy and ourselves.Huan Biao is Huan Wu's elder brother. He is tall and tall, with white hair on both temples. He is full of energy and looks a bit younger than Huan Wu.

The map is marked in great detail, including the troops and supplies in various strongholds of the Shu army.These marks were all drawn by Huan Biao himself.

No matter how big or small the battle is, we must take it seriously.When a lion fights a rabbit, he also tries his best.Long before Huan Bin came, Huan Biao had visited the school extensively to find out the actual situation of the Shu army.

After all, Liang Jun was a guest army, and he did not know the mountains and rivers of Shu as well as Shu Jun did.

Huan Bin nodded and looked at Huan Biao.

"Where is Yang Chun?"

"The old thief is currently in Nanzhong City and has never come out."

Huan Bin frowned, a little confused.

"In the past, the military administration of Shu was not controlled by Yang Xian, but by Yang Chun. But since the war began, Yang Chun was in charge of Nanzhong, and Yang Xian has not returned to the front line since he was recalled to Xiancheng by the King of Shu. Do they really feel relieved to let him go? Will Yang Ping command the army to fight us?"

Judging from the current record, Yang Ping is far from Liang Jun's opponent.Such a person controls most of the Shu army's military strength. Can Yang Xian and Yang Chun rest assured?

"This is what my subordinates have never understood!"

Huan Biao's brows were serious. This doubt has remained since he led the army into Quegu Road until now.Yang Ping was indeed not mediocre, but he was far from stunning enough to shock Huan Biao.

Judging from the current performance, there are many generals in the Shu army who are more outstanding than Yang Ping.Whether it's Jin Xin, Liao Cheng, Qin Feng, or Yang Fu.Their talents are much higher than Yang Ping's.

The Shu army does not lack talents, but asking Yang Ping to guard the Jishui camp is really puzzling.

"No matter what, we must launch a decisive battle against the Shu army." The large-scale and high-intensity battle with the Shu army was not just because Liang Jun's logistical pressure was too great.It was also to protect Huan Youji in Shiyang Road.

Only by containing the strength of the Shu army can conditions be created for Huan Youji's surprise attack.Liang Jun could rely on his more than twice the strength to launch a war against the Shu army and push the Shu army into despair step by step.

"I'm still a little worried about the veteran named Tong Gu."

Huan Bin's guess has no reason, it's just an intuition.He instinctively doubted that Yang Xian would send a mediocre general there?
Huan Biao shook his head and said: "The veteran named Tong Gu seems to be a captain under Fan Qing, the governor of Qingshui County. I don't know where Yang Xian found him. Relying on Fan Qing's old army's hatred of Cai Tong, Yang Xian poached tens of thousands of Cai Tong's people. For this reason, Cai Tong and Yang Xian fought a battle. However, judging from the intelligence we obtained from that battle, the veteran general named Tong Gu did not have much to offer. The six thousand soldiers under him were all brave men from Jingzhou, and they performed very badly in that battle."

Having said this, Huan Biao looked at the untouched war game on the map.

"After these six thousand soldiers and horses were transferred from Xiyong County, Yang Xian did not give any instructions. It seems that Yang Xian did not have great expectations for them. He just asked them to build a camp on the mountain to guard the armaments in the arsenal. After all, it is a fact that it is difficult to march on Shiyang Road, and Yang Xian may not be prepared. What's more, Youji leads [-] soldiers who are light and ready to die, and these [-] soldiers and horses are Yang Xian's back-up force. He can win it too.”

Speaking of this, Huan Biao's tone was very affirmative.After all, the army following Huan Youji were all the best among the best among Liang Jun, and they were not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

"Is that so?"

Although Huan Bin was still a little worried, Huan Biao was right.There are only 2 soldiers and horses there, and Huan Youji leads [-] people. They are all the elites of Liang's army. Is he still unable to capture them?
As long as Huan Youji eliminated these six thousand soldiers, the connection between the Shu army and Xiyong County would be cut off.There are many family members of Heilongjun in Xiyong County.If it is obtained, it will not only demoralize the Shu army, but also gain access to the Yongshui channel.

Moreover, Huan Youji's [-] troops were able to cooperate with the Qishui camp to jointly attack the Shu army.No matter how you choose, this is a beautiful move.

Thinking of this, Huan Bin no longer hesitated, and turned his gaze from Shiyang Road to Jishui Camp.

"The navy troops under Yang Xian are all Chengtian Taoist disciples from Jingzhou. Although they are small in number, they are all elite. It is indeed difficult to march by water. It is safer to go by land."

All the Liang generals present agreed with Huan Bin's opinion. After all, water warfare was not Liang Jun's specialty.Fei Lian's army, which can deal with the Hai tribe and the navy, is currently fighting fiercely with the Chu army in Nanyang.

"Our army will immediately attack the various camps of the Shu army. We must contain the Shu army's strength for more than five days and cover Huan Youji's [-]-strong army."

"Subordinates obey!"

A group of Liang generals clasped their hands together and filed out, each leading their troops to go out.

The specific battle plan has already been formulated, and what is waiting is Huan Bin's decision.

At this moment, only Huan Bin and Huan Biao were left in the big tent.There is a strong tacit understanding between the uncle and nephew.Since childhood, Huan Bin has been familiar with military affairs in the military camps of various uncles and uncles. Among them, he spent the longest time with Huan Biao and was very close to him.

"My lord, this battle is not only watched by our army, but also by everyone in the world. I will do my best to help you."

Huan Biao understood that the significance of this war to Huan Bin was far from being as simple as victory.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Huan Bin bowed his hands in a very solemn salute.
