Chapter 615 Liu Bang unites with Dou Jiande to take back Shangyong!
After listening to what military advisor Chen Ping said, Liu Bang thought this method was feasible, so he summoned Ji Xiaolan and ordered Ji Xiaolan to be the envoy to Shangyong to ask for an explanation from Yang Guang who was stationed in Shangyong!
In addition, Liu Bang sent another order, asking Zhang Ren to take Wei Yan, Yan Yan, Fan Kuai, Liu Er Macaque and other generals, as well as 30,000 Shu army soldiers, to Hanzhong to assist the three Huli brothers and guard against attacks from Shangyong.
A sneak attack.
"Send the order and tell Hu Li and Zhang Ren that if Yang Guang doesn't know what is good and wants to start a war with our army, then don't let them go and start a war directly. No matter how high the price is, you must take back Shangyong!"
Seeing that their lord was ready to fight Yang Guang, Chen Ping and Ji Xiaolan looked at each other and then retreated very consciously.
After exiting the tent, Ji Xiaolan walked non-stop towards Shangyong, while Chen Ping looked at Ji Xiaolan's leaving back with complicated eyes. He murmured to himself: "If the lord is willing to join forces with Dou Jiande, then take back Shangyong."
The chance of mediocrity will be as high as 90%. If we don’t unite with Dou Jiande, I’m afraid it will be difficult to achieve mediocrity!”
Chen Ping paced back and forth. He really couldn't think of a solution, so he went to find his friend Sang Hongyang, hoping to find a solution from Sang Hongyang.
Arriving at Sang Hongyang's residence, Chen Ping went straight to the point and told all his thoughts. Sang Hongyang smiled hoarsely when he heard the words. He cleared his throat and then said slowly: "Now that Yizhou is in trouble, there is Fu Jian in the south.
We and Meng Huo are watching eagerly, waiting for the opportunity to move. In the north, Yang Guang has stationed troops in Shangyong, and there are constant frictions with Hanzhong. If our army does not seek foreign aid, how can we withstand the simultaneous invasion of the three parties?"
Listening to Sang Hongyang's words, Chen Ping already had a clear idea in his heart. If he wanted to completely eliminate the crisis in Yizhou, it was necessary to form an alliance with Dou Jiande of Jingzhou. Without foreign aid, Yizhou would have suffered from Fu at that time.
The three-party attack by Jian, Nanman and Yang Guang will inevitably cause heavy casualties if they cannot look at each other from beginning to end!
"Thank you very much. I will go and convince the lord now to make an alliance with Dou Jiande!"
After bidding farewell to Sang Hongyang, Chen Ping hurriedly headed towards the Chinese army's tent. When he arrived at the entrance of the Chinese army's tent, Chen Ping opened the curtain. He walked straight to Liu Bang and first handed over the current Yizhou soldiers.
He analyzed the crisis situation and then advised him: "My lord, Yizhou is in trouble now. Without foreign aid, our army will definitely be defeated!"
Seeing that military advisor Chen Ping was so excited, Liu Bang opened his eyes in disbelief. At this point, he fully realized the seriousness of the problem, so he hurriedly helped Chen Ping up and asked him for a solution to the predicament.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping immediately expressed all his thoughts and recommended Sang Hongyang to be the envoy to go to Jingzhou to talk to Dou Jiande about forming an alliance!
"I am a member of the Han clan. If I were not forced by the situation, why would I work with thieves?"
Liu Bang felt bitter in his heart, and a sense of helpless frustration welled up in his heart. He frowned and asked Chen Ping in a low voice: "Sir, if Dou Jiande is willing to form an alliance with our army, can our army successfully recapture Shangyong?"
Seeing Liu Bang asking him, Chen Ping replied with sonorous words: "Lord, don't worry, now Dou Jiande and Yang Jian have become incompatible. If our army fights against Yang Jian together in the name of it, he will definitely agree to form an alliance with our army."
.
Our army attacked Shangyong and contained the Jingzhou Army led by Yang Guang. Yang Su and others took a lot of pressure off Dou Jiande. On the contrary, without the help of Yang Guang and others, Yang Jian's pressure increased sharply. If Yang Jian did not want to fight against Jingzhou
All the land was taken away by Dou Jiande, so he would definitely give up Shangyong and choose to let Yang Guang, Yang Su and others lead their troops back to support!
In this way, our army's goal has been achieved, it can not only retake Shangyong, but also weaken the strength of Dou Jiande and Yang Jian, so why not?"
Listening to military counselor Chen Ping's analysis, Liu Bang's frown relaxed a little. He looked at Chen Ping with satisfaction, and then adopted his suggestion, summoned Sang Hongyang, and ordered Sang Hongyang to be the envoy to march eastward.
Go to Jingzhou to ask Dou Jiande for help!
…
Hanzhong!
Zhang Ren led the six-eared macaques, Fan Kuai, Wei Yan and others as well as 30,000 Shu army soldiers to settle in Hanzhong smoothly, and joined the three brothers Hu Li, Lu Li and Yang Li who were responsible for guarding Hanzhong.
With the addition of these 30,000 warriors, plus more than 8,000 new recruits recently, the number of troops in Hanzhong City has exceeded the 50,000 mark!
After Zhang Ren settled in Hanzhong City, he first took Liu Bang's handover to hand over military power to Huli. After successfully taking over the military power, he sent the three brothers Hu, Lu and Yang to lead 15,000 people to repair the city wall and strengthen the city defense.
Fan Kuai and the six-eared macaque were arranged to train the soldiers every day to improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness and be ready for war with Yang Guang at any time.
"According to my speculation, Mr. Ji Xiaolan will probably return without success. There must be a battle between us and the Jingzhou Army. Whether we can recapture Shangyong depends on this battle. If we win, we can recapture Shangyong.
And we will drive the Jingzhou Army out of Yizhou, but if we fail to win, when the Jingzhou Army counterattacks back... I am afraid that even Hanzhong will be lost!"
Looking at the sweaty and panting recruits in front of him, Zhang Ren frowned and roared angrily: "You can't bear this amount. Can you kill the enemy on the battlefield? Keep the order going, from now on.
, the training intensity of the whole army will be doubled, and the two meals a day will be changed to three meals. If the training effect is up to standard, meat can be added to the dinner appropriately!"
When the soldiers who were training heard the news that Zhang Ren said that he wanted to increase the amount of training, they complained. But then they heard Zhang Ren said that he wanted to add extra meals. The soldiers all cheered excitedly, and the training became more effective.
For motivation, I just want to train up to the standard and then eat more meat!
Seeing the high morale of the soldiers, Zhang Ren nodded slightly with satisfaction. According to his speculation, it won't be long before the Shu army will go to war with the superior Jingzhou army. The more hardship they have to endure in training, the less blood will be shed during the war.
Casualties, kill more enemies!
"Is there any change in Shangyong?"
After briefly explaining a few words to the six-eared macaque and Fan Kuai, Zhang Ren turned to look at his confidants and asked his confidants about the recent developments of the Jingzhou Army on the Shangyong side.
"General Zhang, according to the intelligence obtained by the last general, there have been frequent mobilizations in Shangyong recently. About 8,000 people have been withdrawn and headed towards Jingzhou."
Listening to what his confidant said, Zhang Ren frowned slightly and murmured to himself: "It seems that the conflict between Dou Jiande and Yang Jian is getting more and more intense, otherwise Yang Guang would never be allowed to send troops back. Such a situation
Come, doesn’t it mean that there are fewer and fewer defenders in Shangyong City?”
Yang Guang led 30,000 people to attack Shangyong. During the siege, more than 3,000 people were killed, and then more than 1,000 casualties were lost in the subsequent armed fighting. In addition, 8,000 people were transferred back to Jingzhou, and they really stayed in Shangyong.
There are only about 18,000 troops left in the city!
