Chapter 1707 Huo Qubings soldiers leave the Central Plains
At present, the biggest problem of the Jin army in Jingzhou is the absolute disadvantage in strength! Every soldier can even be used as two soldiers!
If Li Mu chooses to hold on, of course, he can hold on for a longer time, but the final result of this army will only be exhausted.
And after this, Yue Fei's Jingzhou soldiers will face a greater military disadvantage. By then, Yue Fei's situation will probably be even more unfavorable! Jingzhou's situation will also be even more unfavorable!
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Mu chose to withdraw from Jiangxia when Tian Dan had not cooperated with Zhu Yuanzhang to completely encircle them, and voluntarily gave up Jiangxia to the eyeing Zhu Yuanzhang, and retained a large number of troops to retreat to Nanjun, and sit in command
Zhuge Liang's tribe in Jiangling gathered together.
The loss of Jiangxia was a bit of a blow to Li Mu. Although it was impossible to get depressed, it was far from that level, but I was afraid that he would have to be depressed for a few days.
Jingxiang faced enemy attacks from all sides. Yue Fei, the governor of eastern Nanyang, was as brave as before. Although he lost one or two small county towns, it also frustrated Zhao Kuangyin step by step. He also took the initiative to attack with small groups many times, allowing Zhao Kuangyin to defeat the enemy.
Zhao Kuangyin suffered a small loss from time to time!
Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have captured two small counties, but it was Yue Fei who gave up on his own initiative. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin was probably the only one who understood the hardships of capturing these two small counties!
Xie An, Xie Xuan, and Xian Zhen's troops on the Nanyang North Line did suffer constant losses when faced with the joint efforts of Cao Cao and Chi You, but they effectively implemented the strategy of exchanging space for time, blocking layer by layer, and using minimal losses.
Resist the enemy for the longest time.
Nanjun is even more typical. Zhuge Liang's place is simply more iron than an iron barrel. Facing people like Zhuge Liang, even if people like Liu Xiu, Xu Shiji, and Zhou Yu join forces, there is no way they can design to capture Zhuge Liang.
.
There are some people that you can only completely crush with absolute power from the front, as if they are born immune to intrigues and tricks.
However, Liu Xiu, Xu Shiji, and Zhou Yu were all unwilling to act recklessly and wanted to win through conspiracy. Therefore, during this period, Zhuge Liang was very aggressive with Liu Xiu, Xu Shiji, and Zhou Yu.
Personal mentality.
Of course, Zhuge Liang is a typical person who plots wars, but it is impossible for him to plot against Liu Xiu, Xu Shiji, and Zhou Yu on his own!
Therefore, on the Nanjun side, it was basically a scene of you kill me for a while, and I will kill you for a while, while Liu Xiu, Xu Shiji, and Zhou Yu took advantage of their strength to advance forward with difficulty.
Of the four fronts, only his own was the first to fall. For Li Mu, it was a certain setback.
However, the loss of Jiangxia finally forced Yue Fei to make the decision to leave the Central Plains!
The land of the Central Plains is the best racecourse for cavalry!
Moreover, the most important thing is that the Central Plains princes are not outstanding in cavalry. The Central Plains princes mainly rely on large-scale infantry troops, while the cavalry troops only account for a very small proportion.
On the other hand, the Jin Army occupies the advantageous ground in this aspect. Among the princes in the Han Dynasty, the Jin Army's cavalry strength is well-deserved No. 1. With hundreds of thousands of cavalry, it even has the confidence to allow the Jin Army to engage in cavalry battles on the grasslands.
The cavalry invaded the Central Plains in large numbers, although it was indeed an excellent way to attack the princes of the Central Plains.
However, it should be noted that the purpose of this cavalry is not to attack the city but to wreak havoc.
To give a simple example, the Jin army must not be able to solve the logistics problem for this cavalry, and how to solve the logistics problem for this cavalry? Of course, they have to rely on themselves!
How can they rely on themselves? They will definitely be outnumbered by the enemy!
And if we want to deprive the enemy of food, it is impossible to siege the city. This cavalry cannot withstand siege battles again and again. The only way is to start with the common people, and we should choose common people from some villages and towns.
.
In this era, the number of counties was limited, and most of the people were distributed in villages or towns around the county!
This cavalry only needs to continuously loot villages and towns, burn fires and loot, and does not need to attack cities. It is enough to create millions of victims in the Central Plains!
Even if the princes do not properly deal with the follow-up issues, and if there are really millions of disaster victims, then it is not impossible for another Yellow Turban Uprising to break out!
However, the method of sending cavalry soldiers out of the Central Plains is considered a good one. After it is implemented, if successful, it will definitely cause a huge blow to the princes of the Central Plains.
However, this decision is not so easy to make!
After all, if this decision is really made, it may mean the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions of innocent people!
If they were soldiers, there would be no problem! But now these are common people, unarmed common people. Their hands are equivalent to being directly or indirectly stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
Moreover, once such a decision is made, then at least in the three states of the Central Plains, the Jin army and people will be devastated. In the future, when the troops enter the Central Plains, they will inevitably encounter greater obstacles.
Even if the Jin army takes over the three states of the Central Plains one day in the future, it will definitely take a longer time to stabilize this place than other places.
In addition, this cavalry penetrated deep into the three states of the Central Plains and caused such heavy damage to the territories of the Central Plains princes. The princes of the Central Plains must have regarded them as a thorn in their side and tried every means to defeat this cavalry.
The cavalry was eliminated. It is precisely because of this that when the cavalry returns, it will definitely not be smooth sailing.
Taking these various factors into consideration, although Yue Fei had already had the idea of sending cavalry out of the Central Plains, this had always been just an idea and he had never considered its actual implementation before.
However, with the loss of Jiang Xia, Yue Fei once again picked up this idea that had been hidden in his heart, and even had a real plan to implement it.
Regarding Yue Fei's idea, many generals and counselors had different reactions. Some of them agreed with it, while others opposed it.
But in the end, the part that agrees with it occupies the larger majority.
This time when troops were sent out of the Central Plains, many generals took the initiative to ask for help! However, in the end, Huo Qubing won the crown and was chosen as the leading general for this battle!
