Chapter 309 The Way of Advance and Retreat(1/2)
Originally, Zhao Tong still had the idea of continuing the confrontation and was unwilling to retreat easily.
But after hearing Zhao Yue's analysis, he quickly made up his mind.
This time we want to put the withdrawal of troops on the agenda.
As he said, this is not a good opportunity for a war between the two sides.
Experienced the Hanzhong Battle last year.
It was not just the Cao family that suffered heavy losses.
We also suffered a lot of losses on our own side.
Especially in terms of logistical supplies.
Although in this life, under the advice of Huang Quan, Zhang Fei imitated Han Xin in building the plank road, but secretly passed through the barbarian areas of Bazhong and attacked Nanzheng by surprise.
Therefore, Zhang Lu, who was unwilling to join Liu Bei, was forced to surrender.
Let the cities and towns in Hanzhong County not experience wars between many parties and be captured repeatedly as in the original history.
Economic prosperity has not been greatly affected.
In terms of people's livelihood, there is still plenty of manpower.
Unlike in the original history, Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong in advance, ordered Zhang Lu to surrender, and then moved the people from various places in batches.
Even if Liu Bei finally captured Hanzhong, it would be nothing more than an empty shell.
But the reason for this life is that he captured the counties in Hanzhong in advance.
Under the confrontation between Yangpingguan and Cao's army, Hanzhong remained stable for decades, and there were many grain and other materials stored in the treasury and in various volunteer warehouses.
This greatly alleviated the need to rely on Bashu in the rear for supplies.
only.
Although the logistics losses in this battle were not as severe as in the history of "men should fight and women should be lucky".
But the war lasted for several months.
It is naturally unrealistic to rely solely on one county in Hanzhong for support.
After traveling thousands of miles, even the land of Bashu was slightly inferior.
This was also after achieving a great victory and with the unanimous support of the ministers, Liu Bei was named the Queen of Hanzhong. Liu Bei did not take advantage of the situation and led his troops out of Qinchuan to expedition to Guanlong in the north.
It was because the teacher returned south to rest and recuperate.
Through Zhao Yue's words, Zhao Tong unconsciously imagined these scenes in his mind.
He groaned for quite a while.
He just said with a serious face: "A Yue's words are indeed correct!"
"The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"Even supporting last year's Hanzhong War was very inconvenient."
"If we lead a large number of people out of Qinchuan for the Northern Expedition."
"It will be difficult to send troops in a hurry."
"Even if we can barely send troops, the main force of our army will be at a disadvantage from before the war."
"Now, I really must not be too impulsive and cause another war."
A series of words came to an end.
After hearing this, Zhao Yue, who was standing by, had a hint of joy on his face. He cupped his hands and boasted: "The general is wise!"
"You finally stopped clinging to temporary gains and losses and ignoring the overall situation, haha."
After saying that, her innocent and lively face also had a smile on it.
"Haha!" As soon as he said this, Zhao Tong also laughed, but then he said bluntly: "No, what does it mean to finally take the overall situation into consideration?"
"When has this general ever shown disregard for the overall situation?"
The words are settled.
Zhao Yue had been with him for a month, and had already understood his character. He knew that except during wartime, he was always smiling and easy-going.
Now that I heard his words, I didn't feel any hesitation at all.
Instead, he still responded with a joke: "Haha, the general misunderstood!"
"I mean, I have never seen someone as calm as the general at his age, able to consider the overall situation regardless of gains and losses."
"Ah Yue is so impressed."
"Actually, I am not too calm. I was impulsive when I led a hundred cavalry into the battle."
Hearing these words, Zhao Tong had a smile on his face and at the same time, he couldn't help but pointed at the remaining stab wound on his body and responded.
After the words fell, Zhao Yue covered her mouth and smiled softly, saying: "The general is too self-effacing."
"Was the situation different at that time? Without the general taking the lead in attacking the enemy's formation, how could our soldiers have unleashed unprecedented fighting spirit to block the enemy's successive attacks?"
Her knowledge is extraordinary.
We can also see the reason why Zhao Tong insisted on committing a dangerous surprise attack with more than a hundred cavalry.
Seeing that he knew everything, Zhao Tong smiled broadly.
And just as all parties were working carefully to spy on the military situation in various places.
Time is also passing by slowly.
Everything was ready to go, and the assembled private armies of each family set off to the western front line under the unified leadership of Zhao Ang.
Only Yin Feng and Zhao Qu led their troops to march along Xicheng in the south, hoping to pass through Qishan Road and raid the important town of Qiang Road.
And as all the wealthy families marched in unison, the news spread quickly.
Outside Longsang City, there is a large camp to the east.
As the general in charge of military affairs in Longxi, Fei Yao was overjoyed when he received this military information.
While he was overjoyed, he also understood that the time had come for his side to launch a massive counterattack, so he sent this military report to Dai Ling, who was in charge of Lintao's defense.
Get them ready to fight back.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned all the generals to announce the matter.
In the big tent.
Fei Yao should be sitting between the main seats, looking at the generals on both sides of the tent from a distance, with a deep smile on his face at this moment, and he couldn't help but say:
"Everyone, according to the reports from the scouts, the families who have been called upon by the envoy to respond with troops have gathered tens of thousands of people to assist our army."
"Although the enemy's fighting spirit is high, their combat power cannot be underestimated!"
"But once the families come with their troops to support us, our military advantage will increase sharply."
"Even if the enemy's fighting strength is extraordinary, they will still be unable to resist!"
"The time has come for our army to counterattack and completely wipe out the enemy soldiers."
After finishing his words, Fei Yao's voice at this time was so loud, like thunder.
The generals and commanders were naturally aroused by this sound.
Everyone raised their hands and echoed:
"General, fight back."
"At the end of the day, the generals should lead their troops as vanguards."
"Yes, the enemy has been rampant for many days, it's time to make them pay with blood."
A series of words.
However, they saw that the faces of all the generals showed deep anger and high fighting spirit, and all of them shouted for battle.
The people present were themselves full-blooded men.
The successive offensives have lasted for more than a month.
Sitting on a superior force several times that of the enemy, it has been unable to break through the frontal defense line.
They also felt somewhat humiliated.
Now that I heard that there is a chance for revenge, I will naturally not let the enemy go easily.
"Everyone, please be patient!"
"The reinforcements from the various family heads are now on their way."
"As for the counterattack, there is no hurry. I have summoned you all just to discuss how to advance the troops."
Just say it.
Fei Yao, who was in the chairman room, looked around carefully, paying attention to the expressions on everyone's faces. Seeing that everyone was filled with indignation, he slowly spoke out words to calm the mood of the generals.
