Originally, Liu Yu also reached a tacit understanding with Murong Rou. If he did not enter Hebei, he would not have the opportunity to go to Murong Chong and Murong Chui to be unstoppable. He would force Murong Chong to be desperate, and it would be better for him to be forced to death. Murong Rou expressed his willingness to let Liu Yu go.
Confirm the occupation of Shandong front line
This condition actually met Liu Yu's expectations, so at that time he agreed. Of course, the main reason for his agreement was that the army was already very tired. He was almost exhausted during the last Northern Expedition, because he lost last time.
It was really unfair. It was lost by the fact that everyone was hindering their own legs, which made everyone feel unconvinced. They held up a lot of energy to fight from Jingkou to Guanggu
But sometimes the manpower is exhausted. They are iron troops, but not iron men. They will be tired, work hard, and can't stand their spirits. Now, they have almost reached their limit. If they continue to fight, not to mention that they can't swallow them at all.
Even if you have already obtained Huaibei and Shandong, you may also lose it, that would be too unprofitable.
Of course, one of the reasons is that Fu Rui's army is still lying on the back. Although Liu Yu has not made any arrangements, Fu Rui is not comparable to others. The detailed information about the battle in Beim Mountain before, Liu
Yu also got it. He knew that Fu Rui was not easy to deal with. Only by going to fight in person can he be sure to stop it.
But what Liu Yu never expected was that Fu Rui had set out ten days earlier than he had expected. Moreover, in the first battle, he captured the important city of Zhongli. The guard general Wang Wang died in battle. More than 3,000 Jin troops were killed.
The Huai River is shocked!
As we all know, the capital of Jin State is Jiankang, because Jiankang, as a city in Jiangnan, has unique conditions. Jiankang is located in the dangerous river and has convenient transportation. It connects to Bashu in the west and Jingxiang in the east, connects to Sanwu in the east, and to Bashu in the north, and to Jingxiang in the north.
Enough to protect the upstream; the Three Wus are rich enough to provide manpower and material support; the two Huai areas are the places where attack and defense advance and retreat, and attack and defense should all be based on Jiankang
Jiankang itself is located in the river in front of the river, facing Chongling in the south, and the situation is unique because there are many hills around Jiankang City, such as Zhongshan and Zhoushan. Sun Wu, the capital of Mufu Mountain, was originally established here, and Zhuge Liang called it "Jinling Mausoleum".
, Zhongshan, dragon coils, stones and tigers lie on it, the emperor's house."
Of course, Jianhu Jiankang is actually forced to do so, because Luoyang was captured by the Hu people? But the Hu people didn't say that they took down your land. Even if it was finished, they wanted to unify the world. So how about that.
Holding Jiangnan is a big problem. The most important thing about the entire defensive system is actually the Huaihe Line
The old saying goes, guarding the river must guard the Huai River. The Huai River and the Yangtze River are in the opposite direction and inside, and play a dual role as a barrier. The reason is very simple. Since the north and south divide the border and govern, the Huai River is often used as the barrier of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is dangerous and guarding the river.
The most important thing is to defend the Huai River. The focus of the competition between the two sides is also on the Huai River. As long as the south can defend the Huai River and ensure that the opponent's cavalry is blocked, half of the country will be safe. If the northern regime can break through the Huai River defense line, the south of the Yangtze River will definitely be destroyed.
If the defense of the Yangtze River is purely passive, then the Huai River has the meaning of defense and active offense. In terms of defense, the defense of the Huai River can be used as a depth of the vast area of Huainan; in terms of attack,
You can enter the Central Plains with the tributaries of Huaihe River from Huaibei, especially Sishui. After a little digging, you can connect the Yellow River, so that the power from the south can be extended to the Yellow River Basin; if you guard the Yangtze River alone, you will be broken into one place.
Enter his heart
The Wo River is another important transportation line between the Central Plains and the Jianghuai River. The Wo River and the Huai River converge. The Wo River is opposite the Wokou. When the Wo River is blocking the north-south confrontation between the Wo River, Zhongli and Shouchun are important towns in Huaixi.
By guarding the Huai River, Zhongli’s main staircase rushed south from Xu Luo. Originally, Liu Yu sent Wang Wang, but he felt that Wang Wang was not enterprising enough, but he had more than enough defense in the city. As long as Zhongli County was still in hand, then his own way of retreat
There is a guarantee
Moreover, Zhongli County City is high and deep, with abundant food and grass, and there is danger of rivers and mountains. Liu Yu also kept the most elite army to guard. I guess it would be fine if I stayed for half a month. No matter how far it was, I had time to rescue it.
It's
Liu Yu never calculated that in just three days, Zhongli County claimed that the city would be broken, and Fu Rui refused to let go and sent troops to take Shouchun.
If there is another mistake in Shouchun, the trouble will be great
The main tributaries of the upper reaches of the Huai River are Yingkou, the intersection of Yinghe and the Huai River are Yingkou, and the intersection of Wohe and Huai River are Wokou, Shouchun is opposite Yingkou, blocking the Yinghe and the enemy in the direction of Huai River; Zhongli is opposite
Wool mouth, blocking the rush of Wool River
Therefore, Shouchun controls Huaiying and carries Jiangtuo, which is the key to the northwest and shields the southeast. In addition, Shouchun is part of the Huanghuai Plain. The soil is fertile and irrigation is convenient, so it is suitable for farming and farming. Therefore, its land is favorable.
Enough to defend
If Shouchun is lost, it is obvious that Liu Yu's retreat will be completely cut off. Whether tens of thousands of troops can still go back is a big problem. This time, in order to achieve sudden results and ensure the speed of the march, Liu Yu ordered lightweight equipment and simple
Go north quickly, but if Fu Rui cut off his traffic line, then the army will be short of food and the invincible Beifu Army can still maintain fighting spirit? That's a question
In any case, Liu Yu must react quickly. Since Guanggu's generation has been taken, Liu Yu will leave He Wuji to guard Guanggu, and he will lead the main force to go south at night.
A fierce war is about to begin
********************************** Jincheng County is actually a vast and sparsely populated place, except for Nan'an, Jincheng, and Warriors Fort
In fact, there are many places outside the city walls without people. Unlike the desert and Gobi outside the city of Dunhuang, this place is actually mainly based on grasslands.
In the spring grassland, all things are revived, flowers are blooming, there are white clouds in the sky, and cattle and sheep on the ground. The scenery is really beautiful. On weekdays, leisurely shepherds will shed sheep and sing here, and the strong young man will please his beloved girl.
However, since Qifu Guoren rebelled, he ordered the herders here to gather for the time being and not to move around, because at that time, almost as soon as he started his army, Duan Ye was ordered to come and attack him. If the herdsmen were allowed to continue herding on the grasslands,
If they are loyal, they will be massacred by the army. If they betray them, they will cause great trouble to themselves. It is better to be at ease when they come to the clear world.
Now, although Warriors Fort has changed hands, Duan Ye had to do a lot of things at that time, and before he could do this, it was not advisable to let them graze freely before the internal cleanup was completed.
But now, Duan Ye himself brought some people to this beautiful Gannan Dacaotan with him.
