Chapter 432: Competing Time
Li Guojun was hesitant and couldn't decide, so he looked at Wang Xiangyun beside him. Wang Xiangyun got a goose feather fan from nowhere. In the cold weather of early spring, he kept it in his hand and fanned it from time to time. It was quite like Zhuge Kongming's style at that time.
style.
But maybe it was the cold weather in early spring, so fanning was a bit unnatural and a bit cold. Wang Xiangyun fanned it twice, then casually threw the fan aside, looked at Wang Hong, Xing Dazhong said with a smile.
"Two generals, please be patient. The only thing the two generals are worried about is that our army came from Taiping and attacked the city all the way. After arriving in Nanchong, it has penetrated more than a thousand miles into the four rivers and has become a lone army. If
Once the siege is damaged or is entangled by officers and soldiers, and then many officers and soldiers swarm over, our army may be trapped and die in the hinterland of Sichuan. Is that right?"
Seeing Wang Xiangyun's joke, Wang Hong had the urge to step forward and punch him twice. Before Wang Xiangyun came, although Li Guojun was said to be reckless and reckless, he was quite sympathetic to the feelings of the brothers below. However, since Wang Xiangyun came,
Li Guojun's behavior changed and he became quite timid in doing things, which really annoyed the brothers below.
Seeing Wang Xiangyun looking over, Wang Hong said with a cold face: "Isn't it?"
"I don't refute what General Wang has considered, because it is a fact. It's just that the student did not agree with what General Wang said about going north to Jianzhou to join the general. Jianzhou has many soldiers and generals, and there are dense forts. We
Twenty thousand people rushed to Jianzhou and were probably swallowed by the officers and soldiers, not even the dregs were left."
When Wang Hong was about to speak, Wang Xiangyun hurriedly stopped him and said: "However, the student has a plan to overcome this difficulty."
"Mr. Wang, you can speak directly if you have anything to say. There is no need to beat around the bush. We are all brothers." Li Guojun's eyes lit up and he urged hurriedly.
"The students' plan is to avoid the real situation and turn to the weak, or it can be said to be to surround Wei and save Zhao."
"Oh? What should I say?"
"Look, General," Wang Xiangyun said, pointing to a deputy commander: "Wang Weizhang doesn't understand the art of war. He only thinks that he can win with more. He really doesn't know that if he deploys all his troops in Jianzhou, then this place will be empty."
Li Guojun looked in the direction pointed by Wang Xiangyun, then took a deep breath and turned to look at Wang Xiangyun. It turned out that where Wang Xiangyun was pointing was Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. Li Guojun said: "Mr. Wang, there are many people in the army who can
No jokes."
"Don't worry, General, you still know this humble position." Wang Xiangyun said confidently: "Chengdu is the governor's seat of Sichuan Province, and its geographical location is extremely critical. What's more, Chengdu is also guarded by the vassal king. No matter how bold Wang Weizhang is, he would not dare
Bear the penalty of losing Chengdu.
As long as our army reaches Chengdu, there may be no need to attack. Wang Weizhang of Jianzhou will obediently send his army back to Chengdu to garrison. When that happens, the strength of Jianzhou 1 will be greatly reduced. At this time, our army is heading north to Jianzhou.
We will definitely capture Jianzhou and join forces with the general."
Li Guojun looked in the direction pointed by Wang Xiangyun, his heart unable to calm down for a long time. For a long time, Li Guojun suddenly asked Wang Hong and Xing Dazhong: "What do you think?"
p
Wang Hong frowned, his eyes never leaving Kan Yu. Xing Dazhong said: "General, I think Mr. Wang's plan is feasible."
He looked at Wang Hong again. The latter finally moved his eyes away from Kan Yu and turned to Wang Xiangyun's face. He suddenly noticed Wang Xiangyun's hateful face and suddenly became much kinder. He nodded and said, "I agree."
"Okay." Li Guojun agreed, "In that case, our army will send troops to Chengdu, and we will attack the old thief Wang Weizhang's lair."
In the early morning of the second day, Pei Jiajun packed up, left Nancheng City, and headed towards Chengdu at full speed.
1 On the way, they passed through Suining, Lezhi, Jianzhou and other states and counties. When these states and counties saw the Pei family's army, they all acted in unison. They closed the city gates and ordered the people to go to the city to defend the city. Then they huddled in the city and watched.
The Pei family troops in the suburbs quickly passed through their territory, but they did not dare to make the slightest move.
Sometimes, Li Guojun would send 1,000 soldiers to pretend to attack. In addition to knocking down the soldiers and civilians in the city, he actually frightened a county seat into surrender. This county seat was Jianzhou.
Originally, Li Guojun did not want to stay longer in Jianzhou, but since Jianzhou had already surrendered, it would be a bit unfair to go in and resupply Pei Jiajun, who was known as the world's biggest bandit.
Therefore, Li Guojun took half a day out of his busy schedule to plunder all the carts in the city, emptied the county's treasury, and then abandoned Jianzhou and continued westward, aiming directly at Chengdu in the west.
At this time, the news that there was a Pei family army of more than 20,000 people in the hinterland of Sichuan flew into Jianzhou City like snow flakes. Along with this news, this Pei family army actually headed west, with a direct target.
Refers to the empty Chengdu.
Wang Weizhang in Jianzhou City suddenly panicked. Chengdu is the essence of Sichuan. If Chengdu is lost, Wang Weizhang's family will be executed in Lingchi, and half of Sichuan will also fall into the hands of the Pei family army. Then Wang Weizhang will be
He is the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty.
"We must not let Chengdu fall into the hands of thieves." Wang Weizhang gritted his teeth.
Xiao Shiwei looked at Wang Weizhang worriedly and said: "Sir, if we want to rescue Chengdu, we must divide the troops of Jianzhou. The main force of the Pei family army outside Jianmen Pass has not attacked the key points in recent years, but they must be eyeing Sichuan and are always ready to break through.
At Jianmen Pass, soldiers came to the plains of Sichuan.
Withdrawing Jianzhou's troops at this time is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. It should be noted that the main force of the Pei family's army is outside Jianmen Pass. Once they invade Sichuan, it will be difficult to drive them out of Sichuan. "
Wang Weizhang paced back and forth in the room angrily, "This won't work, that won't work either, what do you think we should do?"
"Sir, you are confused!" Xiao Shiwei looked at Wang Weizhang, but his eyes were extremely bright.
Wang Weizhang was moved and asked, "How do you say this?"
"My lord, have you forgotten that the reason for preventing Hou Liangzhu, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan Province, from leaving Sichuan to meet Chen Qiyu was just for today?" Xiao Shiwei slowly induced him: "Sir, why don't you order the commander-in-chief Hou Liangzhu of Sichuan Province from Xuzhou to rescue Chengdu?
?In this way, our army can break the siege of Chengdu without using the troops of Dongjianzhou, killing two birds with one stone, why not?"
"That's right!" Wang Weizhang clapped his head and praised: "Why didn't I react? Hou Liangzhu is still worthy of use."
"Your Excellency, this is nothing but concern. Only after an hour or so, Your Majesty will be able to think of that guy Hou Liangzhu."
Wang Weizhang laughed loudly and said: "Yi Wen, you are just flattering me. Okay, I will go to the letter immediately and order Liangzhu to immediately lead his troops north to relieve the siege of Chengdu."
!
Say it, Wang Weizhang was about to write, but was stopped by Xiao Shiwei. Xiao Shiwei said: "Sir, Hou Liangzhu is far away in Xuzhou, and the Pei family army is said to have passed Lezhi now, and should have arrived in Jianzhou by now, which is very far away from Chengdu. I am humble.
I'm afraid that even if Hou Liangzhu sets out immediately, it will still take him ten to twenty days to reach Chengdu. During this period, Chengdu will be besieged by the Pei thieves, so something unexpected may happen.
Therefore, I would like to humbly suggest that our army dispatch 5,000 troops from Jianzhou to Chengdu for rescue."
Wang Weizhang was confused. He put down his pen and asked: "Wen Yi, you have confused me now. You were the one who just said not to transfer people from Jianzhou, and now you are the one who asked people to be transferred from Jianzhou. You
What on earth do you want to do? Besides, what can 5,000 people do for you? They will only be given to the Pei thieves for humiliation."
"Sir, these 5,000 people are given to Pei thief." Xiao Shiwei pulled Wang Weizhang and said: "Sir, Jianzhou currently has 50,000 soldiers. Removing 5,000 people will not affect the overall situation, but these 5,000 people can be used in the shortest time.
It may only take 78 days to reach Chengdu within 78 days. This is the time when the Pei thieves attack Chengdu, less than 34 days.
With these 5,000 people, firstly, they can inspire the people of Chengdu and make them fight to defend the city. Secondly, with the restraint of 5,000 people outside the city, the Pei family army will definitely kill these 5,000 people before they can continue to attack Chengdu. And to solve this
5,000 people, no matter what, it will take more than ten days. By the time these 5,000 people are completely wiped out, I believe that Commander-in-Chief Hou of Xuzhou has also led his troops to Chengdu, and only then will Chengdu be truly out of danger."
When Wang Weizhang heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Shiwei. He understood what Xiao Shiwei meant, that is, these 5,000 people were just pawns to delay the Pei family army for some time. As for the life and death of these 5,000 people, it was not within Xiao Shiwei's consideration. Okay.
