Chapter 2614 Lure the enemy deep into Jibei Mansion
Xiang Mi roared angrily: "Then his grandma is a bear. She wants to use our Dajin, our Beifu Army, and Brother Jinu to establish his power. This piece of shit is just a daydream! Brother Jinu, I am a Tieniu."
I understand, let’s rescue my sister-in-law first, and then we’ll teach these dogs a lesson later!”
He Wuji smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, Tieniu, this is the court meeting, please pay more attention. Ji Nu, I understand what you mean. This time Murong Chao sent troops to rob us, he was actually warning us at the same time.
, and it’s more for him to establish his prestige in the country. If we send troops at this time, it will destroy his prestige in the country. Is this what you mean?”
Liu Yu said calmly: "Not entirely. Murong Chao must have thought of our revenge. He bet that we didn't have the strength to send out a large number of troops to fight the war of annihilation. He bet that there was nothing we could do against him. If we only sent a limited number of troops, in Da Xian
By plundering several of his states and counties in the south and defeating several of his tribes, this would allow the Xianbei nobles to unite around him. In the next few years, they would continue to have friction with us on the border. By the time the battle was about to end, his position would be stable.
, has military power in hand, and then releases Murong Lan to negotiate peace with us, this method of using foreign enemies and limited war to consolidate one's power can be said to be clever."
He Wuji said in a deep voice: "So you either don't fight or destroy the country and don't give him a chance to breathe and consolidate his power, right?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, after all, Murongde is considered the founding king of the country and personally conquered Qilu, so no one dares to disobey his orders. No matter they are Xianbei or Han people, they must obediently enlist in the army. The same goes for the hundreds of thousands of troops."
Come as you please, but Murongde is very clear-headed. His biggest enemy is the Northern Wei Dynasty, not our Jin Dynasty, so he has always tried his best to maintain a peaceful relationship with us."
"But Murong Chao is different. He may not dare to provoke the powerful Northern Wei Dynasty, and the land of Hebei is broken and there is nothing to grab. But once he takes advantage of our Jin Dynasty, even if he doesn't want to fight, the greedy Xianbei tribe leaders under him will
He will also be unable to hold back and take the initiative to attack. When the war breaks out in Jiangbei, our plan to immigrate to Jiangbei will completely fail. Instead of doing this, it is better to bite the bullet and gather an army while he is not yet in power and the recruitment is not as smooth as Murong De.
Destroy it in one fell swoop and avoid future troubles forever!"
Liu Daogui frowned: "But although eldest brother's idea is good, we have analyzed it before. Nanyan can abandon the plain prefectures and counties south of Daxian Mountain and concentrate its forces to defend Muling Pass in Daxian Mountain. Our army cannot break through, and
Later Qin can send troops to attack Yongzhou or even Yanzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, flanking our army in the Huaibei area. Our army will only have enough food for three months. By then, the main force will be trapped in front of Daxian Mountain, and will be in a dilemma. If it cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop,
Nan Yan will only encourage their arrogance and allow Murong Chao's conspiracy to succeed."
Liu Yu nodded: "If it were Murong De, he would probably use this style of fighting, but Murong Chao is different. He is young and energetic, wants to establish his authority, and wants to prove that he is more capable of fighting than his uncle.
Defending Daxian will most likely force us to retreat, but it also means giving up the prefectures and counties in Shannan, giving up the large grasslands in Shannan, and allowing more than ten large tribes here to move to the Lunan area. Such a price is not his.
What he can bear now is that if he sends a large army to cross Daxian Mountain to fight our army in Shannan, I am afraid he does not have the strength. Therefore, the only option left is to let our army enter Daxian and then concentrate 100,000 cavalry.
, fight our army decisively on the Lunan Plain in Linqu area, and eat our army with iron cavalry!"
Liu Daogui's expression changed: "He dares to fight like this? Is he so sure?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly and looked at Hu Fan: "Murong Chao has never really fought a war. All his understanding of war is the myth that the Murong clan is invincible if they are equipped with armor and cavalry. In his opinion, as long as the cavalry is dispatched, then
All armies in this world will be wiped out. If the Southern Expedition allows the cavalry to be trapped in the water network area and unable to perform, it may suffer a loss. But if the Jin army is led into the Lunan Plain and charges head-on here, then we will be like Huan Wen's previous
Just like the Northern Expeditionary Army, they were completely defeated. When the main force of the Jin Kingdom is eliminated, we can even counterattack in one fell swoop and seize the entire six Jiangbei counties including Guangling, fulfilling his uncle's unfulfilled wish!"
Hu Fan nodded: "It is indeed possible. I have analyzed it just now. He will let go of Muling Pass in Daxian Mountain and lead our army in. But since the commander is sure of defeating him on the plains, then he will
This move will only lead to cleverness being misunderstood. However, I still have other worries. If Murong Chao lets our army enter Daxian, he will not take the initiative to fight decisively.
If we take it away and our army has no way to resupply, what can we do?"
"Murong Chui used this trick when he defeated Huan Wen. He engaged in a head-on stalemate and sent light cavalry to cut off our army's food route. In addition, Yuan Qiao had been unable to open the Shimen Waterway to transport food. In the end, the frontline troops ran out of food and retreated. They were chased for thousands of miles, and almost no piece of armor was returned.
, Daxian Mountain Road is difficult to travel, not to mention that our army only has a few months of food and grass. Even if the food and grass are sufficient, it will be very difficult to transport it to Lunan. If Murong Chao insists on not fighting, he will wait until our army's vigor declines and the food and grass are insufficient.
Fight, how does the commander crack it?"
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "What I want is your analysis from General Hu. If everyone is willing to use their brains from the enemy's perspective like you, then things will be much simpler."
"From the perspective of military art, it is common sense to hold firm without fighting and wait for work. However, if the purpose of giving up Daxian is to completely annihilate our army, then it cannot be judged by common sense. We originally gave up Shannan and lured our army to penetrate deeper.
If he waits for our army to set up camp and confront them, he will miss the best opportunity to attack, and the cavalry will defeat the infantry.
When the time is right, we will never attack the infantry camp, but take the initiative to attack when they are unable to set up camp. By then, our army will have a narrow mountain road behind and a vast plain in front. Once defeated, it will be difficult to escape back."
"As for food and grass, our army is already short of food and grass, so there is no need for him to cut off any more food routes. After crossing the mountain, we have to find a way to use Nanyan's food for our own use. In May, we will send troops to the Linqu area. The local wheat is ripe.
It can be used by the military. If our army sets up a large camp and sends out small groups of troops to collect food, it can confront the Yan army in the local area for a long time. This is something Murong Chao cannot bear. Therefore, if our army is allowed to enter Lunan, it will be
We will not waste time in confrontation with us anymore, and we will definitely win a quick victory!"
Liu Daogui laughed: "But brother, you also said that Murong Chao has an expert to teach him. If this expert teaches him to strengthen the wall and clear the field, no matter whether it is a quick battle or not, he must first harvest the wheat in the fields. Even if we win, our army will not be able to get food and grass."
In addition, even if their army is defeated, they can retreat to Linqu to defend the city. What should I do with this move?"
