"Grand Governor, Deputy Governor Wu Qi has conquered Jiangzhou, but the situation is not optimistic. It would be best to hurry up and visit the county!" In an atmosphere where almost everyone was excited, Wang Jian said with a solemn expression.
Jingbei is under heavy pressure. Once Yiling and Baidi City are lost, and the Yangtze River waterway is blocked by the enemy, Wu Qi will be cut off from Jingbei.
Compared to others, the mature and prudent Wang Jian initially saw the crisis and the solution.
If you want to help Wu Qi resolve this crisis, the best and most direct way is to directly attack Bajun and open up the connection between Wu Qi and Hanzhong.
Even if the situation is really bad and Jingbei is unable to help Wu Qi solve logistical problems, as long as Wu Qi and Hanzhong are connected, Wu Qi will not have to worry about logistical problems.
"That's right. Contact Deputy Governor Wu immediately and attack from both sides to defeat Bajun!" Wang Meng also nodded in agreement.
Poba County, to be precise, should be Poba County, Badong County, Basi County, and Badong Territory.
"Song Shuzhou County Chronicles" records: Qiao Zhou's "Ba Ji" says that in the first year of Chuping, the Sima Zhao Wei of Jingzhou suggested dividing the counties of Bajun and Han'an below into Yongning County. In the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Zhang changed Yongning to Badong County.
, Fuling County was divided into two counties, Danxing and Hanjia, and Badong was established as the capital of the country, which later became Fuling County.
People often talk about Bashu. At that time, Bajun and Shujun administrative districts already covered the entire Sichuan. In history, when Liu Yan first entered Yizhou, his actual control over the local area was only Shujun and Bajun. If Bajun was not divided into three parts,
Then the governor of Bajun he appointed has the same strength as himself, how can Liu Yan control him?
During this era, although Liu Che's rule in the land of Bashu was quite stable, he still made the decision to divide Bajun into four areas: Bajun, Badong County, Basi County, and Badong Territory.
First of all, before the separation, Ba County was indeed a vast territory. One county was as large as several counties combined, so there were many inconveniences in management.
Secondly, the Bajun before the separation did have the possibility of affecting Liu Che's rule. Even though Liu Che thought that his rule over Bashu was quite strong at that time, he still chose to nip it in the bud.
As long as Bajun is captured, the connection between Jiangzhou City and Hanzhong is equivalent to having been established. From then on, Wu Qi will no longer have any logistical pressure.
"Bajun!" Li Jing muttered to himself.
In fact, even without being reminded by others, after receiving the news from Wu Qi, he also moved his eyes to this area.
"Sun Tzu - Planning for Attack" said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will not be in danger in a hundred battles; know yourself without knowing the enemy, and you will win and lose every time; don't know the enemy, and don't know yourself, and you will be in danger in every battle!"
Among the Jin army, Fushui Fang has never relaxed its intelligence on Yizhou. Fushui Fang has never stopped infiltrating Yizhou, and the fighting in those dark places where no light can be seen has never stopped.
Coupled with the Shu army's deployment of troops from various places to support the front line, a small force like Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army might be able to be hidden. However, a large-scale force of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people could not be suppressed in such a hurry.
If it's down, it's hard to hide it.
Therefore, Li Jing did not fully know the strength of the Shu army in various regions, but he still had some inklings.
Originally, when Li Jing used his troops, he would definitely first seize the border towns, Mianzhu, and Jiange, control the entire Jinniu Road, and form a "close the door to beat the dog" trend, and then slowly besiege Chengdu City. Perhaps he could achieve his goal without losing any troops.
In the remaining places after Chengdu, although there may still be some die-hards, most people don't need to fight at all. Maybe they can surrender voluntarily. In this way, effective casualties can be avoided.
However, due to Wu Qi's situation, Li Jing had no choice but to change his previously planned strategy.
Of course, it is not a big problem to change the strategy that was previously decided. In war, one should adapt to changes and blindly follow the plan without knowing how to make changes at any time according to the wartime situation. This kind of person also
There is no victory in a battle that cannot be won.
Most of the Shu army's troops are concentrated at the important passes into Shu and the main roads leading to Chengdu. The defenders in Bajun are actually not many, and most of them are second-rate troops from local corps such as county soldiers.
However, in order to save time, Li Jing did not hesitate, but decided to crush them with force. Wang Meng led 30,000 troops, Wang Ben, Chang Yuchun, and Wang Jian each led 20,000 troops, totaling 100,000 troops, to press against the four sides respectively.
County, use the shortest possible time to open up the connection between Wu Qi and Hanzhong.
In this way, Li Jing would combine these 100,000 soldiers and horses with Wu Qi's soldiers and horses, bypass Jiangge and other dangerous passes, and directly threaten Liu Che's base camp Chengdu. This path of using troops is comparable to Li Jing's current one-stop battle.
The road is much simpler.
However, among the four people sent out, Wang Meng, Wang Ben, Chang Yuchun, and Wang Jian, there was one more Wang Meng, which was really a helpless move on his part.
Although Li Jing is not an absolute political genius, he is not that great in this regard and he still maintains a certain degree of sensitivity. He probably guessed that Wang Meng's existence was to check and balance him.
Logically speaking, he should not transfer Wang Meng away from him. If he did so, others might think too much of him. However, in the end, there was nothing he could do. Apart from Wang Meng, it was difficult for him to find another suitable person.
Candidate.
Afterwards, even if the Lord had any doubts, he would admit it! In order for the Lord to unify this chaotic world, even if Li Jing suffered some loss in personal interests, he would admit it.
After breaking through Ba County, Badong County, Brazil County, and the Badong vassal state, the Jin army has many candidates who are good at fighting. There are many people who can replace Wang Meng. However, the most important thing is that after conquering these four counties,
In the round with Wu Qi's soldiers and horses, how will we choose the person who will call the shots?
Wu Qi is the deputy governor of Jingzhou, and this does not include Chang Yuchun, the deputy governor of Yongzhou. Without someone who can stand above these two people, how can he command such a large number of troops perfectly?
Therefore, Chang Yuchun had briefly heard about the actions of Wang Jian, a person with a lower official position than him. Fortunately, Wang Jian was a good person, and it didn't take long, so no big trouble happened. Let people keep giving to others.
Being a younger brother is not easy!
Wu Qi didn't know much about it, so Li Jing couldn't easily make a conclusion!
Therefore, Li Jing simply found Wang Meng, a person who could put pressure on these two people, to replace one of the two people as the commander-in-chief.
