Four hundred and thirtieth chapters prepare to fight on two fronts
Looking from the bottom up, taking a peek first and then looking at each other, you can fully observe the beautiful scenery.
Don't get it wrong.
What Liu Xiang means is the "bottom-up view" of the Marxist view of history.
The working people at the bottom are the basic force that promotes the progress of civilization and are the creators of history in the fields of society, economy, politics and culture.
This is wisdom!
Those who think wrong should face the wall and think about it themselves!
Guo Jia obviously didn't know Mr. Ma, so he smiled like an old pervert, with his eyes full of admiration for people of the same profession.
He strongly agrees with this unconventional temperament. Those who follow the rules and are ignorant and short-sighted are not worthy of becoming his lord.
"The next best strategy is to abandon the three auxiliaries, and divide the army into two routes to go south, first occupy Nanyang County and Jingzhou Jiangbei County, and then fight the enemy decisively in Runan County, forcing them to the south of Jianghuai, occupying Jiangbei, and taking the Central Plains and Hebei as their bases.
Conquer the world."
Dong Zhuo is not dead yet. Rather than leaving his army and waiting for the fighter planes that don't know when they will appear, it is better to occupy the territory of Henan first.
Liu Xiang didn't want to use this strategy. The Guanzhong Plain was not easy to fight. If he didn't take advantage of the assassination of Fatty Dong and the civil strife in the Liangzhou Group to send troops, he didn't know when he would have to wait.
Whether it was because of the terrain or the desire to expand trade routes, he wanted to win the third auxiliary.
"What is the central strategy?"
Guo Jia smiled, as expected the several counties in Henan could not satisfy his lord's appetite.
"The Chinese army took advantage of Peiguo and quickly moved south, taking Yuan Benchu's retreat. The enemy coalition's attack on Runan and Lujiang counties was nothing more than a four-pronged advance. As long as Yuan Shao was defeated, the coalition would have no head and would naturally collapse. We
The army can then continue to implement the policy of advancing westward with three auxiliaries."
Use the speed of the cavalry and the eliteness of the sergeants to destroy the enemy's leader.
If you want to defeat Yuan Shao in one battle, you can't let him escape. There are too many uncertain factors, it's too difficult, and it's too risky.
Liu Xiang was still not satisfied.
"Tell me about the best strategy."
"Move the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou to march westward, capture Nanyang, and seize Xiangfan. After the enemy is exhausted, unite the kings and advance into Runan. As for the third auxiliary, you can use partial divisions to attack."
After Guo Jia paused for a moment, he explained: "Dong's confidant is out there, so he will undoubtedly die. Once he dies, the army stationed in Hongnong and Zuo Fengyi will be in chaos. Our army can recruit these troops and use them to attack Chang'an."
This is a two-front battle.
Therefore, it can be said that Guo Fengxiao liked to take risks and was very stable, but he took advantage of it.
Liu Xiang carefully considered the feasibility of this strategy and occupied Nanyang and Xiangfan to ensure his strategic initiative in dealing with the south in the future.
The purpose of joining forces with Liu Chong to attack the tired enemy forces was to weaken the enemy's effective strength. It would be difficult for the three coalition forces to defeat them in one battle. Everyone knew this, and taking the initiative to attack them in Runan was for the sake of future strategic advantages.
Therefore, Guo Jia's best strategy is actually to maintain the oppression in the south and occupy the territory in the west.
But with the step of recruiting people from Liangzhou, his plan may come to nothing. There is a humble Jia Xu in Liangzhou. This is something Guo Jia missed.
Jia Wenhe probably still has hope for the Liangzhou Group and wants to struggle. He will not give this power to others.
Liu Xiang's original plan was to take advantage of Li Jue, Guo Si and others' battle with Lu Bu to suddenly send troops to Zuo Fengyi to defeat both sides, then drive the defeated troops into Chang'an and kill the emperor and courtiers in the chaos.
Now it seems that this cannot be done.
"Fengxiao, there is a man in the Liangzhou army who is no less intelligent than you. It is difficult to recruit them to surrender." He considered his words and continued:
"According to my wishes, the Chinese army will move south, mobilize Xuzhou soldiers and horses to march westward, occupy Nanyang and Xiangfan, attack and destroy Cao Cao's troops, and then review the battle situation to decide the next move.
The main force of our army is moving south. If Dong Zhuo is killed, the 70,000 troops outside Liangzhou will definitely counterattack Chang'an. Yan Rou's troops can be sent to the left of Fengyi, and then they will sneak attack Liangzhou's troops and horses, reducing the enemy's strength. At the same time, Sun Jian and Tan will not have to send troops.
Fufeng on the right, confronting the Liangzhou army, waiting for the Chinese army to advance westward.
The land of Sanfu must be captured. Seizing Sanfu, Pingliang Prefecture, and opening up trade routes are the focus of the next step. Our army relies on the profits of commerce to support itself. We cannot wait until commerce is completely sluggish, which will make it worse.
The burden on the people under the rule will increase greatly, and it is easy to lose the support of the people, which is more important than occupying the land."
The strategy he proposed was based on Guo Jia's best strategy with slight changes.
"How can a wise man in Liangzhou be compared with a filial piety?" Xun Yu was a little curious.
The thinking habits of the Kanto scholars looked down upon the Kansai scholars, and even more despised the Liangzhou people, thinking that all Liangzhou people were vulgar.
In that poor place, is there anyone who can compare to Guo Fengxiao? It’s incredible!
This is just like someone telling you that the IQ of gorillas can exceed 120. It is a fantasy. Have aliens modified them?
Xun Yu's mentality was probably like this. Not only Xun Yu was like this, but Xi Zhicai and Yuan Huan were also similar.
"Hey, that would be interesting." Guo Jia wanted to see it.
The military agreement has been decided, but it is still very troublesome to send out a large army. A large number of sentinels were sent to the south to find out the specific deployment of the enemy's army. Food and grass were transported to Chenliu and Yingchuan to support the subsequent army campaign.
On the other side of Xuzhou, Guo Dian and Le Jin led 30,000 soldiers and horses through the territory of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and marched towards Yingchuan.
The main fleet of the Ten Thousand Yunfan Battalion stationed in Liyang is heading west along the Yellow River. They will use trackers to pull the boats across the Sanmen Gorge.
According to legend, Dayu controlled the floods and split the mountains into three canyons with his magic ax: "Human Gate", "Shen Gate" and "Ghost Gate", which diverted the water of the Yellow River to the east, hence the name Sanmenxia. That is the boundary of Shaanxi County
, the south bank is the foothills of the Qinling Mountains, where Hangu Pass stands, and the north bank is the Zhongtiao Mountains.
There are many dangerous shoals and rapids, making it impossible to travel westward with sails and oars alone.
After crossing Sanmenxia, we were preparing to participate in the Sanfu War, to defeat Chang'an's tower ships and fighting ships, control the Weishui River, and help Yan Rou's troops resist the counterattack of the Liangzhou people.
Yunfan Camp's main fleet already has forty-eight battleship-level swordfish battleships, ninety-four swordfish battleships that are much larger than the Swordfish, as well as more than 400 patrol boats and 300 supply cargo ships.
The combat power has been formed. The naval generals Tai Shi Ci, Ling Cao, and Zhou Tai are all brave and good at fighting. They have been holding back for more than two years, waiting to take action on Chang'an's building ships.
Liu Xiang really wanted to see the first large-scale collision between new warships and old warships. Unfortunately, he had to lead the Chinese army south and might not be able to catch up with the Sanfu War.
well!
Old Dong, please hold on and hold on, don't die for now, wait until I finish defeating Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the others.
The mobilization of the Anping Army naturally could not be concealed from Yuan Shao, who had been paying attention to Liu Xiang's movements for a long time.
He sighed and said to Feng Ji: "Liu Yicheng is not ill. This battle is not going to be easy."
"My lord, the arrow is on the string now and must be fired. Liu Xiang's army has been mobilized. We cannot wait any longer, otherwise things will change if it is too late. Give the order!"
Yuan Shao hesitated. The first step of his plan failed and he failed to kill Liu Xiang. The threat from the Anping army was too great. He felt guilty as to whether he could achieve his goal.
