Chapter 778: Lao Qiang divided his troops into three groups
Yin Wei said with a smile: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and his subordinates admire him very much. To conquer Xinping City, it is necessary for the King's old brothers to go into battle and fight for their lives. However, in this way, the losses of the core troops are inevitable. In order to capture this little Xinping City,
Pingcheng, it is not worthwhile to deplete the capital of the hometown that raised troops. Therefore, my subordinates suggested to temporarily withdraw from this siege and move to other cities in the north of Ling. As long as the other cities are destroyed, Xinping will be alone. Moreover, that Feng
Don’t Shi and Gou Fu claim to be powerful? Don’t they claim to be loyal? They defend the city very well, but as long as they dare to go out to fight in the field, we can set up an ambush and annihilate them. By that time, won’t Xinping City be destroyed without attack?”
Yao Chang smiled and waved his hand: "Yin Sima, your plan is good, but you overlooked one point. One thing Xing'er said is right, that is what people want. If we really withdraw from the siege, then
The situation may also become dangerous."
Yin Wei's expression changed: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"
Yao Chang's eyes flashed with green light, and he stared at the city of Xinping with green eyes, and said slowly: "Gou Fu and Feng Jie are not fools. It's not that they don't know the current battle situation in Guanzhong. They don't expect Fu Jian to be like this."
When the time comes, we can send troops to help, but what they are counting on is the powerful people from other cities in Lingbiao. Although many of these guys have surrendered to us now, they only obeyed the instructions and did not listen to the announcement, and only surrendered in name. If they see our army company
There's nothing you can do about it as a Xinping, it's inevitable that you'll have different intentions."
"Although our army now has more than 100,000 tribesmen who have returned, most of them are nomadic Qiang and Xiongnu tribes. They are not powerful Han people. Although our army will not be short of food and grass in the short term, these returning Qiang and Huns will plunder
Cheng Xing, if it is easy to win the battle, you can let them rob, but if you always fail to win the battle and cannot grab anything, then over time you will feel resentful, and if the soldiers and horses are separated, it will be troublesome."
Yin Wei smiled and said: "So, the king wants them to go around and rob other Han cities that are watching?"
Yao Chang nodded with satisfaction, touched his goatee, and said with a smile: "That's exactly it. Now in Anding County, Fu Lin, the clan general of the Qin State, is in charge, and many Lingbiao County counties who have nominally submitted to us are still in charge.
Secretly communicating with him, they are all looking at the success or failure of the Battle of Xinping. If our army fails to attack by force and its energy is frustrated, they will take the opportunity to lead an attack. At that time, our army will be attacked from both sides, which will be extremely disadvantageous. Therefore, this
Xinping City cannot be attacked or withdrawn from the siege. Yin Sima, you and your 30,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the families, children, and livestock of each army, will stay here and besieged for a long time. If necessary, you can open a passage to let
They fled."
Yin Weiqi said: "Why does your Majesty want to keep your troops here? Aren't you afraid that the morale of the army you lead will be unstable?"
Yao Chang's eyes flashed brightly: "I want to take fifty thousand troops to attack Anding, and plunder every ridge and county on the way. If these powerful Han people are wise, they will take the initiative to open the city, donate food and money, and then hand over the young men."
And the children of the nobles in the city are taken as hostages. In this way, they have no military rations and young men, and they have hostages in my hands. They cannot rebel even if they want to. And our Qiang army has benefited, and its military morale will naturally be stable. If there is
If the city dares to disobey and resist by occupying the city, we can take advantage of the opportunity to destroy it, and avoid staying here as a foreign threat. The cities in Lingbiao, except for Xinping City, are not very strong. With the power of one city, I can use it as my 50,000-strong army.
, like striking an egg against a stone."
Yao Xing smiled and said: "Father, you are really smart, but aren't you afraid that Fu Lin will gather soldiers and horses from various cities to fight you?"
Yao Chang sneered and said: "Fu Lin is just a piece of trash. If he really had this ability, he would have assembled an army to save Xinping long ago. If he doesn't come now, it means that either he has no courage, or the powerful Han people in various states and counties dare not stand up to him."
On this side, I only need to march all the way, and it will be easy to gain stability. However, I must also guard against these Qiang and Huns, who snatch the benefits and then run away with the money. Therefore, I need to take their families, tribes, and cattle.
The sheep are all staying outside Xinping City, Yin Sima, you have to watch them carefully and never let them escape, let alone let them get hurt, do you understand?"
Yin Wei smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a clever plan. Your last miracle in Sanyuan City has long convinced the Qiang soldiers that you are the incarnation of the White Horse God. If you follow you, you will be invincible!"
Yao Chang smiled "hehe" and showed his yellow teeth: "The master of dancing can only be deceived for a while. If we can't keep benefiting people and winning, then naturally this lie cannot continue. So, since we can't win quickly here, then we
You have to find another way to win elsewhere. Yin Sima, the 30,000 horses and 10,000 Tiefu cavalry I left for you do not need to attack the city, but if the Xinping army breaks out of the city, let the Tiefu cavalry counterattack.
Without the protection of the city wall, the Tiefu cavalry can still take advantage of them on the plains. Remember, clean the battlefield after the war and give all the spoils to these Tiefu Huns, and don’t keep them for yourself.”
Yao Xing said in surprise: "Father, why is this? They are all outsiders. Even if they have military exploits, they cannot all be given to them."
Yao Chang sneered: "Just because they are outsiders, they have to be given more benefits before they are willing to stay. They secretly told our own Qiang people that after the city is captured, everything in the city will belong to them, and Tiefu will be allowed to fight in the field."
If the cavalry works hard, they will get the things they want, and after I conquer the cities in Lingbiao, I will share the benefits with them. Let them not be impatient, as long as we win Xinping, we will all be rich together!"
Yin Wei laughed: "My subordinates will definitely act according to the king's plan. I hereby wish the king victory and unification of Lingbei."
Yao Xing curled up his lips and said: "Father, although Liu Weichen sent 10,000 cavalry to assist in the battle this time, he himself refused to come over. If these guys have evil intentions and cooperate inside and outside, while you are on the expedition and have settled down,
, sneak attack on our Beidi County, what should we do?"
Yao Chang nodded: "This is what I will tell you to do next. Although Liu Weichen has formed an alliance with us, this guy will never be loyal at all, but he is a famous traitor. So, you should go back to Beidi County now."
, with 10,000 elite troops to defend the city, I have already bribed many informants in the Hetao Grassland. Liu Weichen's every move is under my control. Get in touch with these people and pay attention to Liu Weichen's movements every day. Remember, arrange military arrangements every day.
The emissary entered the northern county city from the west gate with great fanfare to report the victory, saying that he had conquered such-and-such city again. The army was stationed outside the city and set up an empty camp of 30,000 people. They quietly moved the camp every night and went out for training during the day the next day.
Post banners and drums, and plant some straw men on the watchtowers of the empty camp as a tactic to deceive the soldiers. Let everyone in the city see that you are coming back first with a victorious division of 30,000 troops, and there will be an army of 100,000 troops behind you.
