"Everyone, Xiaopingjin has been lost, and Mengjing Pass is also in danger. I wonder if you have any plan to reverse the situation of the war?" Li Xiang, who had a slight headache, began to seek help from his group of advisers.
In fact, Li Xiang also knew very well that there would be no problems at Mengjin Pass in a short time. On the one hand, Zhang Liao was already prepared. On the other hand, it was impossible for the northern soldiers to be unaffected after taking the boat. A few days of rest were inevitable.
.
Liu Rengui's navy is willing to sneak attack Xiaopingjin with Yuan and Cao's coalition forces, but they are absolutely not willing to storm Mengjing Pass. What's more, before the combat effectiveness of Cao and Yuan's coalition forces is restored, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Rengui's navy alone to capture Mengjing Pass.
"Lord, the fall of Xiaopingjin is a crisis, but it can also bring us a fighting chance!" Yue Fei pondered for a moment and began to answer slowly.
"What's Pengju's clever plan? Come quickly!" Li Xiang asked with a smile as soon as he heard that Yue Wumu had an idea.
"My lord, I can order 30,000 cavalry to immediately support General Zhang Liao. The naval force Han Shizhong will temporarily give up the march to Pubanjin and instead go straight down the Yellow River. He will attack front and back with our cavalry and capture the enemy of Xiaopingjin in one fell swoop!" Yue Fei stared at the table.
He handed over the map on the case and said.
There is more than one route from Sizhou to Yongzhou. In addition to entering Yongzhou via Tongguan, Li Xiang can also go out of Hedong and cross the Yellow River from Pubanjin to the west.
Li Xiang had previously ordered Han Shizhong's navy to hide in the east of Hedong, waiting for Bai Qi to pacify Liangzhou and attack from east to west with Li Xiang to maximize Yang Jian's attention. At this time, Han Shizhong could catch him off guard and capture Pubanjin in one fell swoop.
Open the gap for Sizhou to march into Liangzhou.
"Peng Ju's words are reasonable. Han Shizhong needs to contain Liu Rengui and control the Yellow River waterway. If Han Shizhong can defeat Liu Rengui, the enemy army will be unable to retreat." Liu Bowen continued on the side.
The coalition forces of Cao and Yuan were assisted by Liu Rengui and took the waterway directly to Xiaopingjin Ferry. The surrounding areas were still under the control of Li Xiang. Therefore, if Han Shizhong could defeat Liu Rengui and control the Yellow River waterway, then the coalition forces of Cao and Yuan would have trouble escaping.
one question.
Moreover, even if there are no troops stationed in the surrounding areas, only a small number of county soldiers, if the enemy wants to escape around these cities, it is still possible for these people to delay the enemy's journey.
What's more, this time the enemy was mainly infantry, with very few cavalry. If they couldn't escape by water, it would be impossible to escape the pursuit of the cavalry.
"However, Peng Ju's plan not only mobilized Han Shizhong's navy, but also mobilized 30,000 cavalry. I'm afraid it's not just for a little Meng Jin!" With Liu Bowen's god-level intelligence, he could see Yue Fei's troop deployment at a glance.
Therefore, he said to Yue Fei thoughtfully.
Cao and Yuan's coalition forces sent a total of 30,000 troops to attack Xiaopingjin this time. Together with Liu Rengui's 10,000 naval troops, they only had 40,000 troops.
However, there were originally 10,000 elite troops stationed in the Xiaomengjin and Mengjinguan areas, and then Li Xiang divided the 80,000 temporarily recruited soldiers into 10,000.
Although there were some losses in the Battle of Xiaopingjin, there were still 7,000 elite soldiers. As for the newly recruited soldiers, Liu Bowen did not count them. It was okay for those people to assist in defending the city, but as for participating in any major battles, it was still
never mind.
The enemies are mainly infantry and use cavalry to attack the infantry. There is no need to send 30,000 cavalry. What's more, Han Shizhong's 10,000 naval troops will also go there. After all, Li Xiang also needs enough here in Tongguan.
of military strength.
"I'm afraid that Pengju's real intention is Pu Banjin!" Liu Bowen finally came to this conclusion after thinking for a while.
"Yes, Yang Jian is well-prepared in Pubanjin. General Han Shizhong's army alone may not be able to capture Pubanjin by then. Moreover, our army is divided into 30,000 cavalry troops in one company. Tongguan and Suiguan see that our army has few soldiers, so they want to
You will definitely be more motivated to fight after you leave seclusion!" Yue Fei replied with a smile.
There are 80,000 soldiers in Tongguan, and if Li Xiang removes 30,000 cavalry, there will still be 70,000 elites left. As for the prisoner army Li Xiang has formed these days, their combat strength varies, and they are fighting every day these days.
There was a lot of damage. In this case, the enemy might actually dare to go out and fight!
Of course, it doesn't matter even if the enemy here in Tongguan does not dare to send troops, Yue Fei's real goal is Pubanjin. The Jin army's cavalry came and went like the wind, and they were good at running and attacking.
Only by letting Yang Jian feel that the Jin army's strength is tight and unable to divide its troops, and the Pubanjin front line may relax its vigilance, can the real fighter plane arrive!
Even if the cavalry went to Xiaopingjin, as long as the Pubanjin fighter planes arrived, the cavalry would be able to reach it overnight. At that time, coupled with the help of Han Shizhong's navy, the battle of Pubanjin could be fought. Once Pubanjin was defeated, Li Xiang's army would be defeated.
There is no need to continue to struggle under Tongguan.
"By the way, Yang Jian should be almost unable to sit still. It's almost time to arrive at Tongguan!" Li Xiang couldn't help but ask when talking about Yang Jian.
During these days, Li Xiang ordered these prisoner soldiers to attack Tongguan with all their might. In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of these people, Li Xiang announced that anyone who could climb the wall would be exempted from crime. Those who beheaded at the first level would be considered meritorious, and those who were beheaded at the third level would be considered meritorious.
He can be promoted to captain of ten.
In these days, the fighting in Tongguan was quite fierce. A large number of prisoner troops died under the wall. If it weren't for the naked temptation released by the supervising team behind and Li Xiang, these prisoner troops would have collapsed.
Although the combat power of these prisoner troops was a bit low, they fought hard enough. Therefore, after paying a great deal of sacrifice, the Sui army in Tongguan began to feel uncomfortable.
"My lord, Yang Jian has left Chang'an a few days ago. His eldest son Yang Yong is in charge of the government, and his second son Yang Guang and the clan general Yang Shihou are assisting him!"
"Yang Yong, Yang Guang!" Li Xiang couldn't help but think to himself. As the eldest son, the former is naturally the first heir to Yang Jian's position. At present, although he has not shown any extraordinary status, he has not shown any extraordinary status.
What mistakes have you made?
As for the latter, he is very ambitious. Although he has various flaws, his abilities are equally excellent. Moreover, this person is quite good at hiding.
Yang Yong alone cannot defeat Yang Guang. After all, history has proven it once.
"Now that Yang Jian has left, let's start acting as planned. Mao Xiang, I don't want any more problems to happen in Chang'an!" Li Xiang said calmly.
What was about to happen in Chang'an was very important, so Li Xiang had to give one more message.
"I understand, I will handle this matter personally!"
Although Tongguan temporarily blocked Li Xiang's army from marching into Yongzhou, there are always some paths that can be passed in the mountains. What's more, aren't all roads made by people?
However, it is difficult for a single person to pass through these places, and it is absolutely impossible for an army to pass through.
