Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 195: Turning Passive into Active
"Unexpectedly, Yang Xiongpifu is so old and cunning that he can even deceive us!"

I'm used to cheating and abducting, and it's rare to be hit by the enemy with an eye for an eye. The poor character Xiang Kangwo not only smashed the case, but also forgot to analyze why the Sanchuan Qin army took so much trouble to enter the city to reinforce the Kunyang garrison. military.On the contrary, it was Li Shiqi, who was quite skilled in the military, who first realized something was wrong, and stood up and said, "It's strange, Kunyang is just a mere small city. Necessary, why did Yang Xiongpifu spend so much time sending troops into the city for reinforcements? What is his purpose in doing so?"

"There is only one possibility. The Tyrant Qin army in Nanyang County has deployed heavy troops in Ye County and is waiting for us to go south."

Uncle Zhou, who is proficient in military affairs, came to a conclusion and said: "If this is the case, the Tyrant Qin army must defend Kunyang, and then rely on Kunyang to cooperate with the Tyrant Qin army in Nanyang to attack us back and forth. Otherwise, we After taking Kunyang, we only need to leave a partial guard to effectively restrain Yang Xiongpifu, so that he does not dare to go south with confidence, and our main force can also be free to deal with the Tyrant Qin army in Ye County calmly. Worrying too much about threats from behind."

"If this is the case, aren't we already very passive now?" Li Shiqi's expression changed, and he said, "To the north is Yang Xiongpifu who is capable of fighting us, to the south is the Tyrant Qin army from Nanyang, and in the middle there are The Tyrant Qin army in Kunyang echoed in the center, no matter which direction we attack, we may be threatened by the Tyrant Qin army behind us."

Uncle Zhou lowered his head slightly, and said regretfully: "We underestimated the enemy this time. If we had been more cautious before and resolutely defeated Yang Xiongpifu in the hinterland of Yingchuan, the situation would definitely not be so passive."

The young commanders present were silent, all of them regretted their careless underestimation of the enemy and ignored the threat from behind. When cheers came from Kunyang City, Xiang Kang also immediately understood that the Qin Army had successfully entered the city!

"It seems that General Zhongli Mo was one step too late and failed to stop the Tyrant Qin army."

Uncle Zhou also came to a conclusion helplessly, and when the young generals, civil and military, all showed disappointment, Xiang Kang suddenly moved in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Long Qi, immediately lead your troops out of the camp, and go to reinforce Zhujishi." Help him hunt down and kill the Tyrant Qin army that lured the enemy before! In addition, send someone to contact Zhong Limei, tell him to give up blocking the Tyrant Qin army from entering the city, and instead reinforce Zhujishi, and chase the Tyrant Qin army that lured the enemy before!"

After speaking loudly, Xiang Kang added viciously, "Also, you must pursue it to the end! If possible, try to follow the defeated soldiers of the Tyrant Qin army into the camp of the Tyrant Qin army! Don't worry about being outnumbered, I will send reinforcements to you as soon as possible!"

Long Qi immediately accepted the order with fists in his arms, and rushed out to organize the troops in the headquarters. The captain of the personal army, Xu Ji, also immediately arranged his men and rushed to the front line to pass on the order to Zhong Limei who had attacked before. Attack, rushed to the vicinity of the Qin army camp for mobile operations, and assisted Long Qie, Zhong Limei and other troops to directly attack the Qin army camp.

It was also unlucky for Yang Kang, the Qin army who was in charge of the cover, to successfully lure Zhujishi's main force away from the blocking position. The Yingchuan Qin army lurking in the northeast took the opportunity to rush past Zhujishi's rear army to intercept them, and entered Kunyang For reinforcements in the city, Zhujishi found out that he had been duped and hurried back to reinforce. Yang Kang, who had successfully completed the cover mission, refused to give up. First, he wanted to share the pressure for the friendly army as much as possible; Kill back and attack Zhujishi's back.

As a result, the poor Yang Kang's army was naturally in bad luck. First, they fell into a scuffle with Zhujishi's troops, and they couldn't withdraw quickly from the battlefield. Zhujishi, who was able to stop Yingchuan's Qin army from entering the city, also turned around to take revenge with red eyes. The three armies joined forces and defeated Yang Kang's troops. Fleeing for their lives, Long Qi, Zhong Limei and other generals kept Xiang Kang's advice in mind, and resolutely pursued them to the end. They just chased them directly from the outskirts of Kunyang to the Qin army's camp more than 20 miles away.To make matters worse, the powerful cavalry of the Young Marshal had already rushed to the vicinity of the Qin army's camp, and attacked the defeated Qin army from the flanks, forcing the defeated Qin army to flee back to the camp.

If the Qin army's defeated soldiers were fooled and fled directly into the camp of their own army in a mess, there is indeed hope for the young generals to follow the defeated Qin army and directly enter the Qin army's camp, smashing the hope of the Qin army veteran Yang Xiong.It's a pity that the young generals underestimated the general situation and fighting will of the Sanchuan Qin army once again. After discovering the intentions of the young generals, Yang Kang, who was personally promoted by Yang Xiong, gritted his teeth and chose not to return to the camp. As the defeated Qin army fled directly to the Ziyun Mountain in the north, they would rather let their direct troops suffer heavy casualties than implicate the main force of the Qin army in Sanchuan.

The choice of Yang Kang's subordinate caught the young commander by surprise. Although the cavalry cooperated with the front and back to chase, killing the Qin army's corpses all over the field, they still failed to force the Qin army's defeated soldiers back to the camp. They could only watch helplessly. The defeated Qin army fled into the high mountains and dense forests of the Ziyun Mountain in the dawn. Even though Yang Kang's troops were smashed to pieces and almost wiped out, they still failed to wipe out the enemy's army. Enter the Qin army camp.

When the news was reported to Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang had no choice but to send Uncle Zhou to lead the troops north to meet Long Qie, Zhong Limei and others. Uncle Zhou also took this opportunity to investigate the situation of the Qin army camp on the spot, but There is no way, Yang Xiong, an experienced veteran of the Qin army, still built the camp as solid as gold, and the location of the camp is located on a high ground, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Break through the Qin camp.

On the same day, the scouts who went south to Ye County to investigate the enemy's situation also sent news, confirming the speculation that the Nanyang Qin Army had deployed heavy guards in Ye County. The Qin Army in Ye County has reached more than [-] troops, which is not much different from the Young Marshal's Army in terms of strength. If you add the Sanchuan Qin Army in the north and the Yingchuan Qin Army in Kunyang City, the number Shuai Jun's strength is at an absolute disadvantage.

After being surprised, he still had doubts. After looking at the map of Nanyang, Xiang Kang asked very strangely: "Nanyang is a vast land and sparsely populated. Logically speaking, there should not be many troops. Lu Wei is only a county guard, so how could he organize a large army?" Up to [-] county soldiers to meet us?"

"There should be two possibilities." Uncle Zhou analyzed: "One is that Nanyang was not greatly affected by the war before, the population did not suffer too much loss, and there were sufficient soldiers available; the other is that Nanyang is the southeast gateway of the Tyrant Qin, and its location is important It is possible that the Tyrant Qin court would send troops from Guanzhong to reinforce Nanyang, that's why there are so many Tyrant Qin troops in Nanyang."

Xiang Kang was speechless, and only then did he know that Liu Laosan took advantage of falsehoods to enter the Guanzhong in history. It was definitely not as simple and easy as the few records in the history books. He also won the final victory after countless hard and fierce battles.After a while, Xiang Kangcai said again: "Let's have a meeting, tell everyone about the current situation, and discuss what to do next."

In the afternoon of the same day, the important civil and military personnel of the Young Marshal Army gathered in the tent. Han Cheng, Zhang Liang, Han Xin and others were also invited to participate in the military meeting hosted by Xiang Kang himself. Xiang Kang first announced the situation he had so far in public , and then let the young marshal Jun Wenwu speak freely to discuss the next battle plan.

Xiang Kang is quite relieved. Although the current situation is not very good, the young commander's army has been flanked by the Qin army, and it is difficult for the small town of Kunyang next to him to go south quickly, but the mood of the young commander's army is not depressed. On the contrary They also advocated taking the initiative to launch an attack, taking advantage of the relatively long distance between the Sanchuan Qin Army and the Nanyang Qin Army to defeat the Qin Army one by one, reversing the current passive situation.

The distance between the Qin Army stationed in Ye County and Sanchuan Qin Army Yang Xiong's headquarters is about [-] miles, and it is difficult for each other to rescue each other in a short time. Xiang Kang is also more inclined to defeat this tactic one by one, and carefully considers giving priority to dealing with Sanchuan The Qin army's tactical plan, and the young general Wenwu also almost unanimously agreed. They all believed that Yang Xiong, who was weak in strength, should be attacked first, and Yang Xiong should be dealt with, and then turned around to deal with the Kunyang Qin army and Nanyang Qin army.

Only Uncle Zhou resolutely opposed this tactic, pointing out: "General You, Old Man Yang Xiong has fewer troops than us, but the location of the camp he chose is too difficult to attack. Only the gentle slopes in the east can be attacked, and it is difficult for our troops to attack the camp, and the possibility of a quick victory is slim. If we cannot attack for a long time, the Tyrant Qin army in Nanyang will take the opportunity to attack from behind us with the support of the enemy in Kunyang. It will definitely only be more passive."

Xiang Kang scratched his head and was also troubled by this dangerous problem, but Li Shiqi, an old gunner, was a little unconvinced and said, "So what if it is easy to defend and difficult to attack? No matter how easy to defend and difficult to attack the camp of the Tyrant Qin army, it can be more powerful than a city." Difficult to fight? Sanchuan’s Tyrant Qin army is just our defeated general. When they retreated to Waihuang, they were still defeated by us in the first battle? I don’t believe how long they can hold us back with a single camp?”

"Mr. Li, the battle in Waihuang can't be regarded as a routine. We were lucky to win that battle." Uncle Zhou reminded: "The reason why we were able to break through the city quickly in that battle was because we pursued decisively. We had just arrived in Waihuang. The siege was launched immediately, and the Tyrant Qin army in Sanchuan was not given much time to prepare for the battle. Second, the Tyrant Qin army was defeated in Jiyang, and only some of the remnants fled to Waihuang to defend the city. It was because the Tyrant Qin army fell for our alienation plan that Li You's troops left the city in anger, and we took the opportunity to wipe them out, which affected the morale of the army and completely disrupted Li You's defense deployment, so we were able to quickly break through Waihuang."

Speaking of this, Uncle Zhou paused for a moment, and then said: "These three objective reasons do not exist now. The Tyrant Qin army in Sanchuan County is also known for its guards, and Yang Xiong is also old and treacherous, and he is extremely cautious in using troops. We want to break through his camp quickly, and the chances are absolutely slim."

Li Shiqi was speechless, and Xiang Kang was also shaken, and even more uncertain.Seeing Xiang Kang's embarrassed look, Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, then stood up and cupped his hands and said, "General You, the foreign minister is taking the liberty to say something unpleasant. In this situation, why doesn't General You follow our example? The South Korean army’s previous fleeing tactics, fight if you can beat it, run if you can’t beat it, take the initiative to withdraw from the Kunyang battlefield that is not good for us, and go to other battlefields where the Tyrant Qin army is empty?"

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Xiang Kang, who had never disliked guerrilla tactics, was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized that he had gotten into a dead end, forgetting that he had voluntarily withdrawn from Kunming. With the choice of the Yang battlefield, he immediately said happily: "What Zhang Situ said is very true. Since the Kunyang battlefield is already a dead end, why should we get stuck here? Why can't we evacuate Kunyang actively, turn passive into active, and go to other places?" Go somewhere to clean up the Tyrant Qin army?"

Uncle Zhou, who was also on the tip of his horns, patted his forehead and regretted it. After a little calculation, Uncle Zhou immediately suggested: "General Right, we should go west and attack Ji County (located in the southwest of Pingdingshan today) due west. , Ji County belongs to Nan County, there are two ways to bypass Ye County and go directly to the hinterland of Nanyang. The Tyrant Qin army in Nanyang must adjust its deployment. It is very likely that we will be forced to reinforce Ji County, as long as he moves and leaves the strong camp for protection, we will hopefully force him to a decisive battle."

I rushed to the map sand table and studied it carefully, and asked again that there are indeed two roads in Ji County that can directly enter the hinterland of Nanyang. Without hesitation, Xiang Kang immediately made a decision and said: "Go to Ji County and force Nanyang's Tyrant Qin The army adjusted its defensive deployment, and forced Old Man Yang Xiong to go west to reinforce Ji County!"

Having made up his mind, Xiang Kang immediately issued an order to order the young generals to retreat immediately, and sent people to the west to explore the road early in order to understand the situation of the Qin army in Ji County.At the same time, in order to prevent the Qin army from preparing in advance and sending troops to reinforce Jixian County first, Xiang Kang also asked the young generals to keep the soldiers secret temporarily, declaring that the pulling out of the camp was the camp of the Qin army preparing to go north to attack Sanchuan, and then sent envoys to carry the war letter He rushed to Yang Xiong's camp to make an appointment for a battle, and invited Yang Xiong to fight outside the camp at noon the next day, and claimed that if Yang Xiong did not agree to the decisive battle, he would attack his camp by force, and wipe him out like tarsus maggots. The Sanchuan Qin army who had been in the army for a long time.

Misled by the false news intentionally spread by Xiang Kang, through careful investigation, he found out that the Young Marshal was going north to attack his camp. Seeing that Xiang Kang sent a letter to make an appointment to fight, Yang Xiong really thought that Xiang Kang was planning to implement various tactics of defeating him, and prioritized To get rid of the weak Sanchuan Qin army, in addition to strengthening the camp fortifications with all their strength, they also sent people to contact the Nanyang Qin army early, so that the Nanyang Qin army was ready to go north to reinforce themselves, lest their camp be besieged, and the messengers would not be able to communicate with the Nanyang Qin army. Army to get in touch.

Under such circumstances, at noon the next day, when the scouts of the Qin Army confirmed that the Young Marshal's army was actually marching towards Ji County, Yang Xiong realized that he had been tricked by Xiang Kang again, and immediately complained, saying: "Too bad, I didn't expect that the traitor Xiang Kang would take the initiative to withdraw from the Kunyang battlefield and go west to fight Ji County in Nanyang County, just playing the game of escape from the golden cicada."

"General, hurry up and send troops to reinforce Ji County." Yang Kang suggested: "Ji County has a road that leads directly to the hinterland of Nanyang. If the bandit army takes root there, we will be invincible."

"It's too late." Yang Xiong shook his head and said, "Little Xiang Kang has already come to the front. If we send troops to the west to reinforce, we will definitely die in vain. Our strength is not as good as theirs. If we lose more troops, it will only be worse." passive."

After categorically rejecting the proposal to immediately send troops to reinforce Ji County, Yang Xiong thought about it for a while, and first sent someone to go south quickly to inform the Nanyang Qin Army of the movement of the Young Marshal Army, and asked the Nanyang Qin Army to prevent the Young Marshal Army from entering Ji County Prepared to go directly south to the hinterland of Nanyang, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Temporarily stand still, send more scouts to monitor the bandit army, and wait until the specific movements of Xiang Kang's bandit army are confirmed."

At noon the next day, Lu Wei, the governor of Nanyang County, also sent a messenger northward to contact Yang Xiong. In the letter, he complained about Yang Xiong's negligence and failed to stop the young general's army from attacking Nanyang City in time, and asked Yang Xiong to send troops to reinforce Ji immediately. County, in order to avoid the fall of Ji County and affect Lu Junshou's career.Old General Yang Xiong agreed in front of the messenger, but behind his back he blew his nose with the letter from Governor Lu, and said angrily: "It's easy to say, Xiang Kang wants to peel the old man's skin now, and ask the old man to send troops for reinforcements immediately." Ji County, isn’t it telling the old man to die in vain?”

At the same time, the main force of the Young Marshal, who was carrying a large number of supplies and grain carts, had already reached a place about twenty miles away from Ji County. Xiang Kang, who was riding forward, was bored and looked around at will. Suddenly a general rushed out, and quickly rushed to a high ground full of trees in the south of the road. Xiang Kang was a little angry at first, and was very dissatisfied with the generals of his own army who left the army at will, but he saw clearly that the man was actually one of his subordinates. When Uncle Zhou was the most unambiguous in the military, Xiang Kang couldn't help being a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "What is Uncle Zhou doing there? Going to the toilet? There's no need to run so far, right?"

The mystery was quickly revealed, and within a short while, Uncle Zhou rushed down the high ground again, and rushed directly in front of Xiang Kang, pointing to the high ground that he had just personally surveyed with a smile on his face, and said: "General Right, look Have you arrived? The south of this highland is surrounded by a river, and the east and west are steep. Only the north is a gentle slope, which is conducive to long-term garrison. In addition, there are many trees growing on the highland, which can be cut down directly to build fences and turrets. Antlers keep horses away. It is most suitable for camping. .”

"It's quite suitable." Xiang Kang looked around the highland casually and said, "Unfortunately, it's too far away from Ji County, and it's inconvenient to attack the city, so it's not suitable for us to set up camp."

"It's suitable for Old Man Yang Xiong to set up camp." Uncle Zhou smiled treacherously, and said, "If I were Old Man Yang Xiong and came to rescue Ji County with an army, I would definitely choose to set up camp on this high ground. "

Xiang Kang stopped talking, and after a little calculation, Xiang Kang simply flattered his horse and rushed to the high ground, and after carefully surveying the specific situation on the high ground, Xiang Kang immediately smiled triumphantly, even more so than Uncle Zhou was even more treacherous and ferocious.
