After hearing Situ Jian's words, many civil and military officials of the Bingzhou Army nodded secretly. Situ Tai naturally knew what Situ Jian wanted to express. It was extremely unfavorable to his side to watch the Xiaoguo Army general Cao Gang and the Bingzhou Northern Army wipe out.
.However, now we cannot send troops with great fanfare, otherwise we will directly attract the Xiaoguo army. After all, without the support of the Turks, Cao Gang and the Northern Army of Bingzhou are no longer very threatening. If it is our own side.
The threat brought by the Xiaoguo Army was too great. Maybe the Xiaoguo Army trapped Cao Gang and the Bingzhou Northern Army in the northern part of Bingzhou, and then took action against itself first.
Yang Lize frowned and said, "General Situ is reasonable, but the problem is that now the Xiaoguo Army has launched a full-line attack on the Northern Army of Bingzhou. So, how should we intervene? We cannot send troops directly,
He was unable to provide effective support when sending troops. More importantly, Cao Gang was our enemy before, and he would not believe that we are now trying to support him."
Yang Li's words also represent the concerns of these civil and military officials. Although they all know the fatal threats brought by the Xiaoguo Army after the extermination of Cao Gang and the Bingzhou Northern Army, they will not let themselves intervene.
Becoming the primary target of the Xiaoguo Army is the most important thing.
If you intervene in it, you will become the main target of attack of the Xiaoguo Army. It would be better to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and wait for the Xiaoguo Army to fight with Cao Gang and the Northern Army of Bingzhou to take advantage of the situation.
Situ Tai looked at Situ Wen who was silent on the left and asked in a deep voice: "Situ Wen, what about your suggestions? I think you have some ideas, let me hear it."
Situ Wen said in a deep voice: "As General Situ Jian said, we must not sit and watch the Xiaoguo army wipe out Cao Gang and the Northern Army of Bingzhou. Now the Turks are defeated by the Xiaoguo army, and because they are on the grasslands, they are also defeated by the Xiaoguo army.
Sweeping across the side, coupled with the disasters brought to the Turkic grasslands by the snow disaster last winter and this spring, the Turks only in the short term, no, it should be said that they will not lead their troops south within one or two years. So, Cao Ganghe now
In the past one or two years, the Northern Army of Bingzhou was a tiger without minions. In other words, if the Xiaoguo Army had not attacked Cao Gang and Bingzhou Northern Army, then Cao Gang and Bingzhou Northern Army would become ours.
Food on the plate. This northern Bingzhou area will sooner or later be our jurisdiction."
"However, the Xiaoguo Army also saw this, so after defeating the Turkic cavalry, he immediately launched an expedition against Cao Gang and the Bingzhou Northern Army. Putting aside the Turkic Northern Army, he was no match for the Xiaoguo Army at all.
.The Xiaoguo Army also saw the weakness of the Bingzhou Northern Army and wanted to turn the Bingzhou Northern Army into its own jurisdiction. Therefore, the Xiaoguo Army is actually snatching the Bingzhou land with us. The Lord, the Bingzhou Northern Army
Although the land is now under Cao Gang's jurisdiction, he is ultimately the land of Bingzhou. After all, this is also the jurisdiction of the Grand Governor of Bingzhou. Therefore, we must intervene in it."
After looking at everyone, Situ Wen continued, "I understand the worries in my hearts. The Xiaoguo Army is very powerful, but this is not the reason why we retreat. Even if we retreat this time, wait for Cao
Just after the Bingzhou Northern Army was annihilated. Do we dare to compete with the Xiaoguo Army? I am afraid that at that time, the Bingzhou Northern Army and the Xiaoguo Army in the Bingzhou Northern Army became stronger. Don’t forget
The Xiaoguo Army defeated the Turks, but it was highly supported by the people of the northern Bingzhou. By then, the Xiaoguo Army would be able to obtain countless troops to serve it, and it would be even more difficult for us to deal with it."
Yang Li said: "Mr. Situ is right, but how should we participate in it now? A part of the Xiaoguo Army has been cut off from between us and the Northern Army of Bingzhou. If we send troops, it will be a direct provocation. At that time, we will only
Afraid……"
Situ Wen smiled and said, "General Yang, are we in a good relationship with Xiaoguojun now?"
Situ Wen's words left Yang Li speechless. After all, the Xiaoguo Army is still an enemy of the Bingzhou Army, not a friend, and even an ordinary relationship with equal status cannot be considered a common relationship.
Situ Wen continued: "Don't forget that Zhao Xun, like Murong Cheng, is a vanguard in the fight against us, so they are enemies and we have always been and have never changed. Why do they want to
Intercept between us and the Northern Army of Bingzhou? Instead of directly attacking us?"
"There is nothing else. They don't want to deal with two enemies at the same time. They don't want Cao Gang to fall to us, and they don't want us to gather the Northern Army of Bingzhou and let us grow."
As soon as Situ Wen said this, Situ Tai, Situ Jian and some people's eyes lit up, and they seemed to understand.
"Zhao Xun is very clear about our relationship with them, but now what they want is to eliminate Cao Gang and the Northern Army of Bingzhou without disturbing us, and to seize the northern land of Bingzhou first, and to the northern land of Bingzhou.
After gaining a foothold, we will march south to attack us. Therefore, sirs, don’t have any luck with the Xiaoguo Army.”
"How could Cao Gang, who is in the northern part of Bingzhou, know the strength and weakness of himself and the Xiaoguo Army? How long can he resist without the help of the Turkic cavalry? Why did he still resist? Why did the Xiaoguo Army be impatient?
Want to take action in the south? Doesn’t the Xiaoguo Army know that we, Cao Gang, and the Bingzhou Northern Army are also enemies?" Situ Wen asked repeatedly.
Situ Jianzhensheng said: "I understand. Lord Situ means that Cao Gang himself knows very well that what he did in the northern part of Bingzhou must not escape from the Xiaoguo Army. Therefore, he can only go with Xiao
The Guo army fought to the death. Similarly, if we had to choose one between us and the Xiaoguo army, Cao Gang would rely on us instead of the Xiaoguo army. Therefore, before the Xiaoguo army took action, the Xiaoguo army cut off Cao Gang's way southward path.
.Mr. Situ, is what I said reasonable?"
Situ Wen nodded and said, "General Situ said so much. Cao Gang must be prepared in his heart. If he had to force him, he would ask us for help or rely on him. No, he should surrender to us. In this regard, Xiao
The Guo army also had some doubts, so the roads between Cao Gang and the Bingzhou Northern Army were cut off in the south, and they were surrounded in the northern part of Bingzhou, so that they could not wait for death. Therefore, we must not see that the Xiaoguo army did not take action against us.
Because of fear of the strength of the Xiaoguo Army, we would sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Because of this, the Xiaoguo Army would only become stronger and stronger... By that time, we were thinking about counterattacking, but it would be too late. Of course, it was time to go
At that time, it was not us who took action, but Xiaoguojun would be in a hurry to take action against us."
Situ Wen said a lot of civil and military officials who had not wanted to interfere with the Xiaoguo Army and the Bingzhou Northern Army changed their faces. What Situ Wen said was indeed the real situation in the Bingzhou Northern Land. If they were really sitting there
If you watch the tiger fight in the mountains, it may not be done well. In the end, as Situ Wen said, the Xiaoguo Army is becoming stronger and stronger, and will not be much weakened by the battle with the Northern Army of Bingzhou.
Yang Lize clasped his fists at Situ Wen and said, "Mr. Situ said, the young general understood his intentions. So, what should we do now? Directly send troops to attack the northern Xiaoguo Army in Taiyuan Prefecture, opening up the southward road of the Bingzhou Northern Army.
?But, will Cao Gang lead the army south directly to cooperate with us? I am afraid that when Cao Gang sees us fighting against the Xiaoguo army, he is afraid that he will be in danger if he sits in the mountains and watches the tiger fight.
He is not afraid, but he is afraid that Cao Gang is short-sighted and allows us to fight against the Xiaoguo Army, but he is indifferent."
Situ Wen smiled and said, "Of course we will not send troops directly. Even if it is, we will have to fight with Xiaoguo Army. At least, we will have to make Cao Gang miserable by Xiaoguo Army and ask us for help.
.So, our most urgent task now is to send people to contact Cao Gang and his civil and military soldiers, so that they can consider surrendering to us and seek help from me. Of course, the most important thing is to let them know that we can abandon the hatred of both sides in the past,
If you want to save your life, even the power in your hands, and the interests of your family, you should submit to our Bingzhou Army earlier."
"Secondly, the Xiaoguo Army is one of the main members of the forces of the Yong army. In terms of force, the Xiaoguo Army alone is enough to match the Qi army outside the Hulao Pass in the eastern part of Yongzhou and the Sishui Pass.
The coalition forces were summed up. We have deployed nearly 300,000 troops in the two eastern passes of Yongzhou, and there are two dangerous passes to guard. But what about the Bingzhou? Only our Bingzhou, which is more than 100,000.
A large part of the army was the former local government army. The territory it occupied was only half of Bingzhou. With half of Bingzhou, more than 100,000 vulnerable troops had to resist the invasion of the Xiaoguo Army.
It is impossible. Therefore, we need to ask the court for help. Otherwise, it may be difficult to guarantee that this place in Bingzhou can hold on."
As he said that, Situ Wen looked at Situ Tai deeply, and then continued: "This northern Bingzhou is located in the north of Yongzhou, and is the northern defense line of Yongzhou. If this place is lost, then the guards of Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass will be restored.
Solid, what's the use? Therefore, if we want to ensure our chances of victory under the Hu coalition, there must be no mistakes here. Therefore, it is necessary to ask the court for help. Even if we cannot go to Yongzhou, which is the eldest prince.
Compared, but not far from that, right? Otherwise, how can we stick to it? Lord, these things have exceeded the usual situation and are forced to do so. So, this is already possible to
The court's request for help is among the scope."
After hearing Situ Wen's words, how could Situ Tai not understand his meaning? Situ Wen's meaning is very clear. The first point is naturally to send someone to contact Cao Gang to let Cao Gang know the situation he is facing now. Only by surrendering to himself can he survive.
.For this, you only need to send someone to contact Cao Gang.
What Situ Tai pays attention to is naturally the second one. The meaning to express is deeply appreciated. That is to ask Situ Lei for help and expand his strength. As Situ Wen said, in Yongzhou, in order to resist
Murong became the leader of the coalition forces, but when there was Xiong Pass, he prepared nearly 300,000 troops. In this Bingzhou area, there were only more than 100,000 troops, and most of them were reorganized by local government troops.
The soldiers who have been born in the army are not very strong in combat. Then, you should reach out to the court and take this opportunity to expand your strength. Because this is a good opportunity. If the court, that is, his father, does not want the place of Bingzhou to appear
If you don’t want to make any changes on your northern line, you should support it.
Situ Tai immediately looked up, a faint smile appeared, and said, "Situ Jian, immediately send someone to contact Cao Gang to let him understand his own situation. In addition to Cao Gang, he also needs to have various officers under his command.
Contact, especially those generals who are very close to the Turks and have a bad reputation in the local area, contact them more often, so that they can know the consequences of the Xiaoguo Army's treatment of those who have too deep collusion with the Turks, and let them
I understand that if you want to survive, you must cooperate with us. No, you should surrender to us. This governor can not only guarantee their lives, but also guarantee that the power in their hands will not be lost, so that they can think clearly."
"Situ Wen, immediately report the situation here to the court, let Luoyang know that more than 300,000 troops of Xiaoguo have appeared in the northern part of Bingzhou. Now, he is eyeing this place in Bingzhou, hoping that the court can send troops to support him.
.Food, supplies, weapons, armor and equipment, each one is something we urgently need now. If you want to ensure that there is no problem in Bingzhou, let Luoyang prepare earlier."
"Receive the order!"
"Yang Li, immediately reorganize the army and prepare for war, so that Zhucheng in the northern fronts of various prefectures and counties should be prepared to stay on the ground, and must not be careless. In addition, actively expand the army and prepare for war, and strengthen the training of soldiers."
"Leiling, let all prefectures and counties prepare food and grass to make use of the army to go to war. The treasury also has prepared weapons, armor, weapons, arrows, crossbows, and hoarding war needs."
"I will receive the order!" the two of them said together.
…………
Zhao Xun is now whipping up his whip and the western prefectures in the northern part of Bingzhou, namely Wuyuan Prefecture and Shuozhou Prefecture. There is another name here, that is, the Hetao area. The northern part of Bingzhou is located in the border area, inside and outside the Great Wall.
Since ancient times, it has been the northern defense line of the Han people in the Central Plains.
Hetao, Shuofang Yellow River flows eastward, goes north along Helan Mountain, flows eastward when encountering Yin Mountain, and turns south when encountering Luliang Mountain, forming the shape of "Ji". Within the character "Ji", the area north of the Great Wall is the Hetao area!
Hetao was originally the former land of the Huns. During the reign of Emperor Wu, he expelled the Huns from the north of the Mo and collected all the Hetao lands. Here, not only were there Han people, but also ethnic minorities living in various tribes. However, they have now become one of the Han people. Now
, and was gradually taken under the command of the Xiaoguo Army. This is also a place where cavalry lies.
Moreover, the rivers in the Hetao area are crisscrossed and rich in water and plants. They are not only conducive to farming, but also suitable for nomadic things, which is enough to support millions of people! Moreover, the Great Wall is located in the south, and the Han River (Yellow River) is located outside, and it is natural dangers on all sides. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.
Therefore, after Zhao Xun's hundreds of thousands of cavalry advanced south, the first place to attack was here. After the cavalry trapped the Northern Army of Bingzhou in various cities, the Hetao, located in the northwest of Bingzhou and eastern Liangzhou, had gradually begun to be killed by Xiao
The Guojun took over. Here, the new policy of the Xiaoguojun will be the legal norm that all the people here will follow.
As he roamed the northern part of Bingzhou, Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh.
Bingzhou, a strategic location in ancient China. The vast desert, the vast snow-capped mountains, the brave and heroic men. Countless soldiers who defended their country and looked home to death sang and drank loudly on the boundless moonlight and boundless battlefield. They said no
All his will is open-minded and generous.
In history, Bingzhou has a hero who created a prosperous era, a hero who gallops on the battlefield, a hero who is generous and tragic, a stunning poet, and a wealthy businessman with great vision...
After repelling the Turkic cavalry, Zhao Xun decided to take Bingzhou first, not only because this was Situ Lei's northern power defense line, but more importantly, this was also the northern protection net of the Han people in the entire Central Plains. This is the key point.
Zhao Xun could see clearly what the land was like in Cao Gang's hand. In the past few years, the people in the northern part of Bingzhou could not save Bai Wan's people, half of which were killed in the war.
People were taken as slaves. Zhao Xun hated him deeply for this, so Zhao Xun decided to take this place first. This is also the reason why the Xiaoguo Army led the army to sweep the Turks in western Dingzhou when they attacked Situ Lei...
Bingzhou plays an important role in the Han people in the Central Plains.
As early as the Warring States Period, in 260 BC, the killing god Bai Qi commanded the Qin army in Changping to defeat the Zhao army, shot and killed Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhao army, and killed 400,000 surrendered Zhao soldiers. His head was accumulated and blood flowed into a river.
Bingzhou, the "ancient Hebei area, the throat of the two Huaihe Rivers" area, "can go up to the party and look at the Central Plains", so forty years later, the emperor Qin Shihuang finally swept across the country and unified the country.
The Later Han replaced Qin. In 200 BC, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was defeated in the wind and snow all over the sky. The "Bai Deng Siege" was a life-threatening humiliation by Liu Bangyi. After that, the Han Empire, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, all worked hard.
He managed Jinyang, built Yanmen Pass, and protected the northern part of the Han Empire. It was not until the mighty Emperor Wu of Han that he turned to attack, drove to the desert, chased and died in the north, and created a grand situation where the Han Empire was at its peak and shone brightly.
At this point, the Bingzhou land became a place that military strategists must fight for. If the Central Plains dynasty had Bingzhou, they could look north to the desert and look down on the enemy. If the foreign tribes had Bingzhou, they could drink horses and the Yellow River, causing disaster to turmoil in the land of China.
Zhao Xun knew that although he defeated the invading Turkic cavalry, and although he had strolled around the Turkic grassland, he also brought back a lot of spoils. But he knew very well that this did not mean that he had settled the Turkic tribes.
There is still a lot of effort to make the grassland tribes surrender, but the chaos in the Central Plains made Zhao Xun unable to focus all his energy on the north. Therefore, the faster the northern defense line Bingzhou must be obtained, it is better to
It operates like Youzhou, and becomes the foundation for controlling the grassland.
In fact, when Zhao Xun returned from the north, he had already started to prepare for the removal of the Turkic tribes. However, Zhao Xun needed a rear base here as support. Of course, he also needed to stop the Turkic cavalry from invading again.
, or a line of defense for revenge. Therefore, Zhao Xun did not directly provoke Situ Lei's Bingzhou army this time, but instead had the right to attack the Bingzhou Northern Army.h!~!
