The secret of arranging troops is to use one's own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses. Although the Jin army does not occupy a favorable position, it cannot withstand a large number of people. Since there are three ways to advance the army, use them all!
Moreover, the plank road is narrow and difficult for the large army to pass. Dividing the troops into three groups can speed up the march and avoid crowding into a ball, making it easier for people to make dumplings!
………………………
The Jin army launched a large-scale attack on Bashu, which actually threw a heavy hammer into the hearts of the princes of the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang quietly moved his troops north. Song Que, Lu Ya, Wang Yanzhang and other strong generals returned from Jiaozhou to Jingnan. Generals such as Fu Youde, Zhu Tianpeng, Ao Moang and others who had just returned from Japan also gathered troops on the Yangtze River. However, it still looks calm on the surface.
However, the calmer it is before the storm, the heavier the waves may be.
Zhu Yuanzhang's troops moved north, and Xu Shiji of Jiaozhou finally had the courage to move his troops boldly. Before, with Zhu Yuanzhang and without Zhu Yunzhang, the things that needed to be considered when sending troops back to Shu were not of the same level.
Previously, even though he had received a message from Fei Ge, Xu Shiji only dared to let Yang Jian, Jiu Chong and other strong generals return for the time being, and the troops needed to make long-term plans.
But now, since Zhu Yuanzhang dared to put on such a posture, although it is impossible for Xu Shiji to lose his vigilance towards Zhu Yuanzhang, he can finally become a little more courageous.
As for the three people in the Central Plains, they were in a good mood at this time. Especially Zhao Kuangyin. When the Japanese army returned, he had not thought of taking action at all. But fortunately, he finally restrained it at that time.
Now it seems that the choice made at that time was so correct. If he really provoked the Jin army and recruited the more than 700,000 tiger and wolf troops of the Jin army.
Although it is not a good thing for the Jin army to intervene in the Central Plains so quickly at this time, no matter what happens to the Jin army later, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely not see that day. Before that, the more than 700,000 tiger and wolf troops of the Jin army You can already eat him alive.
Sacrifice yourself to help others, this has never been Zhao Kuangyin's style.
However, at this time, the situation of the three princes of the Central Plains was a bit embarrassing. They had enjoyed the battle before, but now they were unable to succeed.
Zhao Kuangyin was a little better, and he could barely bite out some points. Chi You was the one who had fought the least among the three major princes in the Central Plains, and his situation was sustainable. But Cao Cao was embarrassed. If he had to rely on himself at this time, Really, I can only watch there obediently.
Although dividing Yuan Shu's piece of cake replenished his blood, in any case, the food taken into the stomach must take some time to be digested, and it cannot be directly turned into their nutrients.
The situation of the northern princes was better. Although Yuan Shao and Qin Zheng had been at odds for a while, after Qin Zheng annexed Liu Bang, the northern princes only had local wars at best, but no large-scale battles took place.
Therefore, at this moment, the vitality of the northern princes is far higher than that of the central plains princes and southern princes. When it comes to threats, the threat is actually greater.
In the past few times, when the Jin army attacked Yongliang and Jingbei, several princes united to take action, hoping to curb the expansion of the Jin army.
However, this time, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, the other princes chose to watch indifferently for the time being. Of course, while watching indifferently, these princes had already connected with each other and were silently "communicating" with each other.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is anxious is because Liu Che, as the owner of the Bashu land, does not want the Bashu land to be lost, and he also does not want the Bashu land to be lost. If the Bashu land is gone, sooner or later the land of Jiangdong will also be in the cold.
Yangzhou has the danger of the Yangtze River, which was a very rare natural danger in ancient times when transportation was underdeveloped.
If the Jin army wants to attack Yangzhou, it must first defeat Zhu Yuanzhang's garrison on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then cross the river in a warship. You can imagine the difficulty.
However, the Yangtze River is not only owned by Yangzhou, but also by Bashu, but what is more advantageous is that Bashu occupies the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The ancients knew that it is easier to go down the river than to go upstream.
If you capture Bashu and spend three years recuperating and renovating your navy. Three years later, if an army moves down the Yangtze River from Bashu, and an army crosses the Yangtze River from the Central Plains, advancing both by land and water, Yangzhou can be easily destroyed.
.
Although we talk about capturing Xiangyang, controlling Jingzhou, and then moving down the Yangtze River to capture Jiangdong, this path is much better than capturing Bashu.
However, after all, the Jin army only had Jingbei in its hands, not the entire Jingzhou. Jingnan was still in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands at this time.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is anxious because he has a long-term vision. Once Liu Che is finished, then Zhu Yuanzhang is not far away from being finished.
At that time, Yangzhou faced the danger of the Yangtze River, the most powerful force of the Jin army, and was immediately affected.
The other princes are not in a hurry because they are still waiting.
The land of Bashu has always been a strategic place with difficult terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In ancient times, it was even said that one man can guard the pass, and ten thousand men cannot break it. No matter how strong the Jin army is, this kind of dangerous land cannot be conquered.
Taken.
In order to win the land of Bashu, Li Xiang was ready to shed blood. Other princes could see that the Jin army was bound to shed blood this time. Therefore, they still had time to watch with cold eyes at this time.
At the same time, if it is really necessary, these princes will naturally not be able to just sit back and watch. When it is time to take action, it is still necessary for them to take action.
The agricultural value of the Bashu region is very high. In fact, the entire ancient China was based on the development model of agricultural economy. Although the status of agricultural groups in the entire political group is not high, the social value they create is the highest in the feudal era.
It is also the foundation that supports the development of a country.
Regardless of whether it was in the early days when filial piety and integrity were promoted or the ninth-grade Zhongzheng was promoted, or in the later era when the imperial examination system was created, all government officials in the country needed to be supported by the agricultural people through taxes and corvee.
In ancient history, the development of agriculture was a very important aspect of a country. The overall national economic operation needed to be supported by the agricultural economy. Therefore, places that were crucial to the development of the agricultural economy were the targets of key development, and Bashu
Land is one of them.
In terms of agricultural resources, the Bashu region has unique advantages, with fertile soil and developed animal husbandry, which are crucial to supporting the economic development of the entire country.
Although they are watching with cold eyes for the time being, as long as the princes in the world are still a little clear-headed, they will never give the Jin army another chance to gain Bashu granary.
