Chapter 623 Chang Yuchun’s envoy planned to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and Xue Rengui sent troops to the four counties in Jingnan!
Yu Wentai thought for a moment, and then said: "What General Jiang Song said is very good. It can't be delayed. When will General Chang prepare to send troops to Xiangyang?"
Seeing that Yu Wentai couldn't wait to lead his army to attack Xiangyang, Chang Yuchun smiled hoarsely and immediately replied: "General Yuwen, don't be anxious. Xiangyang is an important military town under Dou Jiande's rule. It has an important strategic position. Our army needs to take a long-term plan and do a good job."
Only when you are fully prepared can you send out troops."
Hearing this, Yu Wentai frowned slightly and said: "General Chang, the morale of our army is now at a high level. We should work hard to pursue the victory. If the enemy is given a chance to breathe, many changes may occur."
When Chang Yuchun saw that Yu Wentai insisted on sending troops to attack Xiangyang, he explained to the point: "Of course what General Yu Wen said is reasonable, but marching and fighting does not rely solely on morale. Now after successive battles, our army is exhausted and needs a rest.
Fan!
And I have sent people to find out clearly that there are 30,000 soldiers stationed in Xiangyang City, plus Duan Jiucheng, Zhao Dapeng, Hu Ermi, Hua Bo Lai, Hua Shu Lai, Zou Laitai, Yang Fan, Sheng Yuanjie, Sheng Long, Sheng Hu
, Sheng Biao, Ba'er Chi... and other strong generals are among them, if we go forward hastily, we may be defeated and return."
After hearing these words, Yu Wentai pondered for a moment and then nodded and said: "What General Chang said is absolutely true, but I didn't think carefully. So in your opinion, how should we act?"
Chang Yuchun smiled slightly and replied: "We can stay put for now, secretly accumulate strength, and wait until the time is right before sending troops to Xiangyang. During this period, we can send spies to closely monitor the movements of Xiangyang City, and at the same time find ways to undermine the enemy's morale.
, let them cause chaos in the city."
After listening to Chang Yuchun's words, Yu Wentai's eyes flashed with admiration and said: "General Chang has thought carefully and acted according to your plan. I hope we can capture Xiangyang as soon as possible and deal with the rebel Dou Jiande!!
!”
Just when Yu Wentai, Chang Yuchun and other generals were discussing the next strategic deployment, outside Xiangyang City, the disgraced Dou Yihu, who was covered in blood, led more than a hundred people to the gate of Xiangyang City, shouting loudly.
Ask the soldiers guarding the city to open the door and let them in.
Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly told the news to the general in the city. After the general Yang Fan learned that Fancheng had fallen and Dou Yihu was defeated, he led a large group of generals and hurriedly opened the city gate and welcomed Dou Yihu into the city.
After Yang Fan brought Dou Yihu into the city, he quickly asked about the situation in Fancheng. Dou Yihu sighed and told Yang Fan and others in detail the tragic situation of the battle and the strength of the Jing-Henan coalition forces.
After hearing this, Yang Fan's face became very solemn, because he knew very well what the purpose of the Jingyu coalition forces' attack on Fancheng was to cut off Dou Tongyuan's retreat to the south, and then take advantage of the gap when Dou Tongyuan was unable to come back for reinforcements.
Eradicate all Dou Jiande's forces in Jingzhou!
Thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately asked people to take Dou Yihu down for treatment, and then sent his confidants to summon all the generals in the city to discuss how to deal with the enemy.
At the meeting, the generals had very different opinions. Some believed that the city should be defended and waited for reinforcements; others believed that the enemy should be proactive and catch them off guard before they had rested!
After Yang Fan pondered for a moment, he said: "Now that the enemy has just captured Fancheng and their morale is at a high level, it is not wise to go out to fight at this time. However, we cannot sit back and wait for death. We must find ways to strengthen the city's defenses."
After speaking, he looked at the generals and continued: "I decided to ask for help from nearby cities first, and at the same time recruit volunteers in the city to strengthen the city's defense. You must stick to your posts and be ready to resist the enemy's attack at any time."
All the generals responded in unison: "Yes!"
After the meeting, Yang Fan sent letters to the garrison in nearby counties and Dou Jiande in Jiangxia for help, and at the same time issued a notice to recruit volunteers in the city.
When the people in the city heard that the enemy was about to attack, they responded one after another and joined the volunteer army. Under the command of Yang Fan, the defense power of Xiangyang City was greatly enhanced. In addition, he also sent a large number of scouts.
Pay close attention to the trends in Fancheng and be ready to adjust defense strategies at any time.
The scouts sent by Yang Fan quickly brought back the news that the Jingyu coalition forces were resting in Fancheng and did not seem to have any intention of attacking Xiangyang immediately. After learning the news, Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not take it lightly.
Because now is most likely the calm before the storm!
In the next few days, the county guards who received the letter asking for help sent reinforcements to Xiangyang. The combined strength of the large and small county towns reached more than 5,000 people. Their arrival brought great pressure to the defenders in Xiangyang City.
Great encouragement.
Yang Fan personally welcomed these reinforcements and arranged them in various important areas on the city wall, once again strengthening the defense power of Xiangyang City!
As for Jiangxia County, Dou Jiande took Yang Fan's letter asking for help seriously after receiving it. He immediately dispatched King Yu Rong to lead a group of elite troops and rushed to Xiangyang day and night. However, due to the long distance, the process of mobilizing the army was difficult.
It is more cumbersome and it will take some time for these troops to arrive in Xiangyang smoothly.
While waiting for reinforcements from Jiangxia, Yang Fan continued to strengthen the city's defenses. He organized the people in the city to build city walls, prepare defense equipment, and set up many beacon towers in the city so that they could be deployed in time when the enemy attacked.
Alert.
Under Yang Fan's careful arrangements, the huge Xiangyang City has become impregnable. It is no exaggeration to say that the current Xiangyang City will be difficult to capture even if a hundred thousand troops attack!
Just when Yang Fan was completely relieved and relaxed his vigilance against the Jingyu Allied Forces in Fancheng, in Jiangxia County, Xue Rengui and others, who had received the news that King Rurong led his army to leave Jiangxia County, immediately began their long-planned plan.
strategic action.
"As expected of General Chang Yuchun, this plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain is absolutely perfect. Now all the elite soldiers and generals under Dou Jiande's command have been sent out. Jiangxia County is full of loopholes. No one can stop us from taking back the four counties of Jingnan!"
Thinking of this, Xue Rengui immediately called the Bull Demon King, the Fire Spirit Mother, Tu Xingsun and Zhang Fei, and ordered them to each lead a force of 3,000 troops to attack Changsha County, Lingling County, Wuling County and Guiyang respectively.
county.
After distributing the combat missions to the generals present, Xue Rengui said: "The number of troops Dou Jiande deployed in the four counties of Jingnan is about 10,000 to 20,000. Your mission is not too difficult, so I
I hope you can complete the mission quickly and well, and then come back to join me in the crusade against the traitor Dou Jiande!"
