Chapter 197: Please call me a master tactician (view on the APP)
Zhongshan Kingdom is not huge in terms of territorial area. What is more terrible is that their sphere of influence is densely covered with mountainous areas.
In addition, the Zhongshan Kingdom and Xian Yu were enemies of the same enemy. Knowing that the Jin Kingdom would send troops to fight, the three parties had made relevant preparations early.
According to Zhishen's deployment or simply Zhiyao's decision, the Wei family was assigned to attack Xianyu, while the Zhi family faced Qiu You.
The Zhao family, the Han family, the Hu family and the Zhong family united to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom.
So, the Zhi family needs to mobilize the army and move westward from "Gu" to the area of Shijiazhuang City in later generations; the Wei family needs to first move to Jin County in later generations and then cross northward, and then attack Xian
Yu.
What the Jin State doesn't know is that after what happened last year, Xianyu has merged with the Zhongshan State. Without the tribal alliance of Xianyu, there is only the country of Zhongshan State.
The merger of Xianyu and Zhongshan Kingdom was not a bloody and violent merger. It was a scene where two brothers agreed on some things and then the same country merged without bloodshed. The fundamental reason was that Zhongshan Kingdom was originally Xianyu.
It can also be regarded as an experimental product of Beidi.
The Zhongshan Kingdom not only withstood Zhao Yang's invasion, but also besieged and forced Zhao Yang to death. No matter how the Jin Dynasty retaliated later, it was clear that the Zhongshan Kingdom was awesome.
Since the Zhongshan Kingdom is awesome, when the two forces merge, they will definitely continue to use the name Zhongshan Kingdom and not use the name Xianyu.
Therefore, even if the Wei family were to turn in and attack again, the attack would be on the Zhongshan Kingdom. The Wei family would become the Zhao family, the Han family, the Hu family and the Zhong family to deal with the Zhongshan Kingdom, while the Zhi family would take a detour to find Qiu You to play with.
Despite the delay in information, the connotation of many things is still the same...
The original thing is that Xianyu and Zhongshan Kingdom just wear the same pants, and there is almost no difference in hitting anyone. If there is a change, it is probably that after the merger, the Zhongshan Kingdom can communicate more smoothly between superiors and subordinates.
Zhiyao only gives a target to attack, how to advance troops and which route to choose, without too many restrictions.
After all, now is not the future. Even the commander-in-chief of the entire army cannot actually command the entire army.
The state of Jin is relatively good, and the commander can extend his command to small and medium-sized nobles, and his colleagues who are also "Qing" will not make war a trivial matter; in other vassal states, the commander's chain of command will only extend to his colleagues who can see it.
It is impossible to interfere more; the Chu State is even more special. The commander-in-chief restrains the prince, and forget about the rest.
The general march route has been decided, and a rough time has been set for when to start! It's not a rough outline, it's just a rough idea, what a joke???
By the way, this is what military operations are like. The route is strictly restricted. Two friendly armies are hundreds of miles apart and they have to take action at the same time. Do you think everyone is Zhuge in the novel? The commander-in-chief in the era of cold weapons.
It's really not that serious.
There are really strict restrictions on everything. In fact, we are in the information age where we can get in touch at any time. The big cowards like in the cold weapon age are the best negative teaching materials.
"There will definitely be no resistance in Qiuyou. I will use half a month to sweep Qiuyou and wait for the movements of the other two armies." Zhiyao was very busy, dozens of times busier than Zhishen.
The only thing Zhishi should be careful about on this journey is Loufan, but Qiuyou is also mostly mountainous, so the possibility of being ambushed is relatively high, and the possibility of Loufan cavalry rushing up is relatively low.
"Half a month?" Expo understood. He just wanted to attack at once without giving the enemy time to call in reinforcements.
Zhiyao was not just looking at the map and giving random orders. He had already grasped Loufan's movements in advance, as well as where Zhongshan Kingdom and Qiu You's army were.
In combat, intelligence comes first. In the current era, there are not more than ten people who understand this truth better than Zhiyao. And these people will not appear in Zhongshan Kingdom. Qiu You is a branch of Beidi just like Qiu You from Loufan.
, why they were not merged into Zhongshan Kingdom, only Beidi senior officials knew.
Zhiyao and Zhishen did not actually enter Qiu You's sphere of influence, and two other "divisions" followed them and stayed where they were.
Cheng Shuo brought a "teacher" with him.
Zhi Xuwu led two "teachers".
The two groups of them continued to advance in a pincer-shaped offensive. They fought when they encountered a walled city along the way, and attacked when they encountered tribes that could be eaten. When the two pincers completed the encirclement, it was Zhiyao and Zhishen who led the way.
The time for the two "divisions" to advance.
This time, Zhishi arranged an easy job for herself, and the other families didn't have any objections. On the contrary, they were extremely impressed by Zhishi's senses.
Why? To put it simply, Zhishen has announced the reward and punishment methods. The Zhishen family takes the ones they want, and the rest is which family has made more contributions, and they can cut more flesh from the Zhao family.
Zhishi can actually pick first? Otherwise, why would you think Zhiyao showed off her muscles?
If the Zhao family is still strong, who dares to divide them?
The Wei family, the Han family, and the Hu family can pull out more troops than the four legions. The quality of the army seems to be better than that of the Zhi family. They can choose first, even if there are people in the Zhi family who have doubts about Zhi Yao's actual family affairs.
The master has opinions. After this experience, anyone who dares to have any opinions should keep it in his heart. People who already support Zhiyao will definitely be more loyal.
Half a month is a very short time to conduct a military operation. Zhishi swept through the entire territory of Qiyou without encountering much resistance. The whole process went so smoothly that it is not worth spending time on it.
Quite simple, right? However, being able to do this shows Zhiyao's ability.
What does that sentence mean? By the way, it's called "A person who is good at fighting has no great achievements, and a person who is good at playing games has no skill at all."
Zhiyao is now a chess player. The Wei family, the Han family, the Zhao family, the Hu family, the Zhong family, etc., including Qiu You, Lou Fan, and the Zhongshan Kingdom, are all his chess pieces.
So, who is Zhiyao playing chess with? None, or rather all of them. This all includes the Wei family, the Han family, the Zhao family, the Hu family, the Zhong family and other Jin families, as well as Qiu You, Lou Fan,
Zhongshan State, Qi State, Zheng State, Chu State...and so on all the countries.
Later, the matter of Xianyu becoming part of the Zhongshan Kingdom was reported to Zhiyao.
At the same time, the Wei family marched smoothly and successfully penetrated into the sphere of influence that originally belonged to Xianyu. In the process, they did not encounter a large-scale enemy force and easily captured the "Zhongren". It was not until they approached the "Lefter" that they encountered the likes of
It was more than 30,000 enemy troops who urgently returned to defense.#
The Han family, the Zhao family, the Hu family and the Zhong family followed Zhao Yang's previous offensive route. They had a head-on confrontation with the main force of the Zhongshan Kingdom from the beginning. The southern part of the Zhongshan Kingdom is generally a plain terrain. The last time Zhao Yang was there
They fought with the Zhongshan Kingdom in the plains and defeated the main force of the Zhongshan Kingdom before continuing to march north, and then plunged into the mountains.
This time, the Zhongshan Kingdom, Qiu You and Lou Fan still did not give up on the plains. They united about 90,000 people and fought with 70,000 Jin troops on the plains for seven days. Both sides suffered losses. Generally speaking, the losses suffered by the foreign coalition forces were more severe.
Some, and then the alien coalition forces retreated towards the mountains.
"Lou Fan? It's similar to most nomadic tribes nowadays. They seem to be very powerful, but in fact their combat effectiveness is not that good." Zhiyao put down the battle report in his hand. It was a fact. The current era does not belong to nomads.
ethnic group, they rarely take advantage of the Xia kingdoms, and usually end up being beaten to a pulp.
Zhiyao used to find it strange. They were nomadic groups that came and went, but how could they become so fierce after hundreds of years?
Later, Zhiyao figured out one thing. The combat effectiveness of the nomadic groups may have increased, but more importantly, the combat effectiveness of the farming groups had dropped too much.
Zhongshan Kingdom disappeared behind.
Loufan, Linhu, and Tuhe became a branch of the Xiongnu.
As for the overall rise of the nomadic group? Then we have to mention Touman and Moton. Touman created the "Hu" nation and Moton brought too many new tactics to the nomadic group, including not following
The farming people are fighting head-on. They are tired, exhausted, dragged down...anyway, it is all kinds of drag. Look for opportunities to give them a harsh blow.
Mao Dun created the "drag" tactic, which seems to be very simple in core. However, this tactic has rarely been used by nomadic groups for a thousand or two thousand years, causing the farming people to suffer a lot when they lack war horses.
In the current era, Lou Fan does not think that they are so awesome. They know very well that compared with the Zhongshan Kingdom that is pursuing its own Zhuxia transformation, their own country is actually nothing. This time, the Jin army fought with the foreign coalition forces in the plains, and the result was
The worst damage was done to the building, where more than 10,000 people were thrown in at once.
It once again proves that the nomadic tribes at this stage are really nothing compared to the powerful armies of Zhu Xia. They are the Jin army that won the battle on the plains. They strictly implemented the orders of Zhishen or Zhiyao and continued to advance north as a group.
, they did not do any splitting of troops along the way. They adopted a strategy of advancing slowly, clearing out wherever they passed, and then occupying wherever they went, ensuring logistics access and ensuring that they would not be surrounded again.
This method of advancement will make the attack very slow, and the more troops advance, the fewer troops will be needed, but the victory is safe enough.
If you think that Zhiyao just wanted to avoid the Jin army being surrounded along the way, it would be a bit simple.
"Your Majesty, with such a plan, can it be accomplished in one battle?" Zilu just came over and understood Zhiyao's deployment. He immediately saw what Zilu was planning? Not only him, but also Zigong, Ran You, Yan Hui, Zaiyu and others.
.
They escorted Confucius back to the State of Lu last year and learned that the State of Jin would launch a large-scale attack on the State of Zhongshan this year. They got Confucius's permission to come to Zhishi again. Only when they arrived at "Handan" did they find out that Zhiyao had gone north.
Let’s not mention what happened when they went south to rescue Confucius. Anyway, they were once again accepted by Zhiyao.
There are talented people coming to invest, even though the things these people did before were quite disgusting to Zhiyao, in line with the idea that talents are rare, and Zhiyao is sure to conquer them this time, why not accept them?
Of course, Zhiyao's mentality will not be the same as before. From now on, she will just use her, without mentioning anything about trust.
"Attack in three ways, encircle in two ways, and annihilate all the enemy forces in the mountains!" Zhiyao used pincer tactics when fighting Qiu You, and he could use the pincer offensive again.
In war, what's wrong with using the same tactics over and over again to achieve the goal?
