The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 373

"Little Wang Cao Ti, I pay my respects to General Wei of the Han Dynasty."

"Oh, your majesty has offended your ministers. You are the king of a country, how can you salute your ministers like this?"

"Hey, speaking of it, it's Xiao Wang's self-willedness for a while. He forgot the teachings of Da Sima to build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king. He became the king of Wei impatiently. As a result, Jin rebels invaded .He also brought General Wei here to suffer. Xiao Wang, I am really ashamed."

Hehe, if in the first half of this year, I, a big man, did not want you to be king, then I really need you to be king at this time, so as to attract the state of Jin to spend its power in the mountains surrounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains.Of course, you must have understood this point.It's just that I don't want to say anything about putting on such a posture now.

After the ceremony was over, Cao Ti and others led Luo Xian into the prefect's mansion in the West City, which had just been decorated and used as the palace of the Wei Palace.After some concessions, Cao Ti took the main seat.

"May I ask General Wei, how many reinforcements did the big man send this time?"

"7000 people. Another 80 shi of grain and [-] million yuan. There are countless materials for defending the city such as bows and arrows."

"The money and rations are quite sufficient. It's just that the reinforcements don't have much to hate."

"Your Majesty thinks this is a small number of reinforcements? I think it's a little too much."

"Ah?" After all, he was one of the more outstanding members of the four generations of the Cao family. Cao Ti realized after turning his eyes a little: "It seems that General Wei has a strategy in mind. Dare I ask General Wei how to defeat the enemy?"

"When the foreign ministers came here, the great Sima and the great general of our country had already instructed the foreign ministers about the strategy. They were about to report it to the king. Please issue an order to let the guards of the foreign ministers outside the gate bring the map in."

"can."

After his guards set up the three-dimensional map in the hall of the palace, Luo Xian stood up and bowed to Cao Ti: "Your Majesty, generals of the State of Wei, please look at the map. Now, the State of Wei is controlled from northwest to southeast." It covers Weixing, Shangyong, Xincheng counties and part of the nearby Nanxiang county. It seems that the land is not small, but please forgive me for telling the truth, the population of these places is too small and too scattered, and the cost of governance is extremely high. "

Cao Ti and the others nodded slowly.

"Three or four years ago, two generals Zhang brought more than 1000 loyal ministers and righteous men here. They gained a firm foothold with the support of my big Han Ya gatekeeper. Although the Jin State sent Chen Xiuyuan to lead the army to attack, they soon died. In the Han-Jin war, the main forces of the Jin State were thrown into Guanzhong. The support for Chen Xiuyuan was extremely limited. What's more, when Wu State attacked Jingzhou, Chen Xiuyuan's troops had to be withdrawn.

But today's situation is different from the past. The big Han is temporarily unable to launch a large-scale eastern expedition, and can only contain a small number of Jin troops on the border.Therefore, Jin's invasion this time has sufficient military strength and material support.

What is even more worrying is that, according to the intelligence of our great Han Si Wencao, this time the Jin State invaded, and Wu State was also recruited to send troops together.Although there is a Daba mountain between Shangyong and Xincheng counties of Wei State and Xiling of Wu State, what if Wu State really sent a small army of 5000 people to come over the mountain from the south?
Therefore, the previous guerrilla method is not suitable for this time. "

After Luo Xian finished speaking, Zhang Hu, Zhang Xiong and other veterans could not help but nod their beards.

"My family's great Sima and the great general's suggestion to Wei State for this battle is: to gather all the tens of thousands of people who are currently scattered in the three counties in the west city. After that, all the troops will be divided into two groups, one will be hoarded in the west city and stick to it. A transport line that wanders outside and harasses the enemy.

Everyone, please see that in the three counties of Weixing, except for a large basin near Xicheng, the rest are hills and hills, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient.With such a terrain, it will be very difficult for the enemy to advance. On the contrary, it is very convenient for a small army of our army to hide.

Please look at the map later, the state of Jin wants to invade the three counties of Wei and Xing, and generally uses Zhuyang County in Nanxiang County as the place for material hoarding.It is next to the Han River.The Hanshui meanders between the two mountains, starting from Zhuyang and going upstream, it can reach Xicheng and even Hanzhong.Therefore, as long as we gather the people and soldiers in the west city.Then Jin's marching route is almost certain: start from Zhuyang and march along the banks of the Han River. "

"In this way, the army we drove out of the city before can find a way around Hanshui, sneak attack and harass the enemy's logistics line."

"General Meng Xiao is right. Everyone, from Zhuyang to Xicheng, the Han River stretches for more than [-] miles. With such a long distance, it is impossible for the Jin army to fortify everywhere. As long as there is a leak, we will burn their grain ships. In this way There are too many things, the Jin army must either retreat, or send more soldiers to guard the grain road. If it is the former, it is our chance to counterattack. If it is the latter, then the Jin army's siege force will not be enough. And I have enough food and fodder in the west city It can last for three years. At that time, the Jin army will be trapped in the city, and the veterans of the division will be exhausted, and it will be impossible to escape the situation of destruction!"

In general, Luo Xian's strategy is: First, I will concentrate the population of several counties in the east to Xicheng in the west, and strategically retreat in a big way, but in fact it will infinitely lengthen your logistics supply line.Second, concentrate your forces on West City and build a lighthouse for you to attack.Aren't you going to wipe out the rebellion?I'm right here, will you come or not?Third, if you come to West City, you will inevitably stretch the logistics line.And after the logistics line is stretched, the battle situation will change in a favorable direction for the side.

Because the three counties of Weixing are located between the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains.Various hills and hills.In this era, the logistics of the army can only rely on Hanshui.Compared with the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the width of the upper reaches of the Han River is very limited.At that time, the grain ships of the Jin State would go on the Han River, and the soldiers of the Han and Wei dynasties would stand on the bank and fire a rocket volley, which would be enough to ignite all the grain ships of the other side.

It can be said that whether it is the three counties of Weixing, Yong'an, or Nanzhong, if Ji Han wants to launch an attack from here, his own logistics will become miserable because of the terrain here.But if you simply want to defend, then the geographical environment here becomes extremely favorable.Such a geographical advantage is where Guan Yi and others have the confidence to face the simultaneous attacks of the two great powers of Jin and Wu.

"Ling Ze's strategy, the old man agrees." After Zhang Hu spoke, Zhang Xiong, Xu Ba, Le Zhao and others also nodded.The four generals nodded, and Cao Ti naturally agreed.

"Only in this way, our army will be divided into two. Who will defend the city? Who will be guerrilla outside?"

"Hehehe, Xian is good at defending the city, and since he is new here, he is completely unfamiliar with the geography of Weixing's three counties. Therefore, what Xian means is that I will lead [-] reinforcements to defend the city, and the generals will lead their troops out of the city for guerrilla warfare."

This arrangement is very reasonable, but very unreasonable.

Speaking of which, the last time Cao and Liu worked together was in AD 198 (Xiapi, Baimenlou).It has been more than 70 years now. For more than 70 years, except for the last few years, those surnamed Cao and those surnamed Liu have been beaten to death!Although due to the situation, the Han and Wei dynasties joined hands again, but the situation belongs to the situation, and the feelings belong to the feelings.

Oh, you asked us to concentrate all the population of the three counties of Weixing in Xicheng, and drive all our own troops out of the city.What if we go out and you drag all the 3 people to Hanzhong?Don't tell me it's impossible, your big Sima is drooling when he sees the word "population", who in the world doesn't know now?

However, this solution is indeed the best solution.Therefore, Zhang Hu and others were all silent.

"Hehehehe~~~ Good! General Wei's strategy is excellent. Then implement it like this! The former general and other generals will quickly issue orders to gather the people from all over the world to the west city. At the same time, bring General Wei Some of the grain transported out, pre-arranged in several hidden supply points. After that, you can lead the army out of the city."

"Your Majesty?!"

"Everyone." Cao Ti, who had been keeping a low profile in front of Luo Xian just now, stood up: "If it had nothing to do with Da Sima, Cao Ti would still be bowing his knees to the rebels of Sima's family in that cage in Yecheng. If there were no big man Some time ago, during the large-scale Northern Expedition in our country, we still gritted our teeth to support our Great Wei. We have long been unable to gain a foothold in the three counties of Weixing. I also know that Han and Wei have been at war for decades, and it is difficult to trust each other. But please think about it Thinking, if the big man really has any bad thoughts about Wei at this time, why not just ignore us? Therefore, the widow decided to follow General Wei’s strategy just now!”

"The ministers will obey the orders of the king!"

"Sure enough, as my great Sima said, the descendants of the Cao family are worthy of being the descendants of heroes. However, please rest assured, Your Majesty and the generals. My great Sima has already dispatched two generals, Wu Qiao and Laiqing, to lead the Longxi Army Ten thousand is moving towards Hanzhong. And will be stationed in the Golden City. The body of the king, Wanjin, can neither follow General Zhang and others to go guerrilla. Nor should he be trapped in Xicheng, an isolated city that is destined to be besieged for a long time. Therefore, please move to the city The golden city of my big man, sit there and watch me wait to defeat the enemy!"

"Ling Ze's words are very reasonable. Please move to the Golden City, Your Majesty."

"Hehe, General Wei, what you said is a little underestimating Xiao Wang." Smiling, he cupped his hands at Luo Xian: "I was imprisoned in Yecheng for too long in the early years, and I don't know how to bow horses at all. So I won’t go out of the city to cause trouble for the generals. But since I’m called the king of Wei, I can’t bear the surname of Cao, and I can’t bear the name of the country of Great Wei. I’m in the west city, waiting for the Jinni to attack!”

"Your Majesty, you can't. The soldiers are fierce and the war is in danger. If you have an emergency..."

"Well, thanks to Taizu's blessing, I have already had two sons since I came to this west city. Then please General Wei send someone to send these two children and their mother to Hanzhong."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the big man is still there, the two princes will be safe."

"It's over now. Well, don't try to persuade me any more. Generals, the Han and Wei dynasties have fought for decades, and many heroes have died on each other. For a while, it is really difficult to cooperate honestly with each other. But the two countries All the ancestors of Taizu had cooperated with each other, not to mention Taizu and Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, even the grandfather of Taizu and Guan Da Sima also had a very deep friendship. Back then, Taizu and Emperor Zhaolie Hand in hand, Lv Bu tied his hands. Taizu and Zhuang Miaohou joined hands, and Yan Liang, Wen, and Chou were all executed. I have heard that this time, besides the rebellion of Jin, Wu Gou will also send troops. Hehehe, what is the Sima family? What is it? In the past, Taizu said to Emperor Zhaolie: "Heroes in the world, only the emperor and Caoer." Today I will let Jin Ni and Wu Gou take a good look, and the descendants of the heroes of Han and Wei join hands again , how to defeat Jin and Wu!"
