In the direction of Jiankang, with relatively small land and a small population, half of the Yangtze River can be defended by the Huaihe River defense line and the Huaihe River defense line, Shouchun and Zhongli are one of the two most critical points.
Most of Liu Yu's army is still in Shandong, and the newly occupied territory also needs to be consolidated, so a large number of troops must be left behind. Otherwise, the recovered territory will be lost again, so it is better not to mobilize troops to recover it.
But Fu Rui's army lies across the eastern Henan line, which poses a threat to the two cities of Zhongli and Shouchun. Once these two cities are lost, I am afraid that the Huaihe line will be controlled by Fu Rui's army. After all, this is a group with 100,000 people.
The elite army
Liu Yiru doesn't know yet that Zhongli has fallen, and Liu Yu himself struggled to support him in Shouchun City, but even from a thousand miles away, the situation is not optimistic.
The problem is that everyone knows that Jin State is actually supported by several forces, and the Northern Army has its own system. Now, because Huan Chong and others choose to make peace with Xie An, they can still cooperate, but other
The army, whether it is combat effectiveness or reliability, cannot help Liu Yu at all.
It is obvious that Fu Rui also saw the situation and fired a thunderous blow when Liu Yu was at the most dangerous situation.
Duan Ye actually did a lot of things that were not conducive to Liu Yu, but now, where is the time to tell him? Especially how can I tell Liu Yiru this? Liu Yiru is very worried. This is human nature, but in fact, Duan Ye
It seems that Fu Rui can definitely cause a lot of trouble for Liu Yu, but it is almost impossible to bring danger to Liu Yu.
After thinking about it, Duan Ye said, "Sister Ru, don't worry, auspicious people will have their own appearance, Brother Liu will definitely not be in trouble."
"Well" Liu Yiru nodded slightly. In fact, she knew now that it would be useless to think too much. Even if Duan Ye was willing to help her, it would be too late to reach the point.
She can only pray silently to her younger brother on every late night when she is quiet
At the same time, Li Fei also said slowly: "...If Guanzhong has a high-level view of the Central Plains, then Longxi has a high-level view of Guanzhong in fact, Longxi is not only based on the upper reaches of Guanzhong, but also on Hanzhong and Sichuan.
The upstream Gongzi, you see, the Wei River, Bailong River, Western Han River and other rivers originate from Longxi. The Wei River, which nourishes Qinchuan, flows eastward, passes Guanzhong, and the Bailong River flows southward, passes Yizhou, and the Western Han River flows eastward, from Hanzhong from the terrain
In other words, the terrain of Longxi is significantly higher than that of Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Sichuan. Therefore, starting from Yanhuang, in previous wars, it is difficult to attack Longxi from Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Sichuan, but it is easier to attack from Longxi."
Seeing that Lu Hong listened seriously and did not have the indifferent look of the time he was fighting with Duan Ye, Li Fei was relieved. Fortunately, these three young men were still very smart in nature, but they just pretended to be stupid occasionally.
Lu Hong had no choice. Lu Shao and Lu Zhuan were both too awesome. He didn't do this, and there was no room for him. If he seemed very capable, smart and capable at that time, he would probably be exposed in advance.
No benefit
Keeping a low profile is a method that has been proven to be effective for hundreds or thousands of years. The so-called gun shot out the bird. Lu Shao and Lu Zhan both showed their heads and looked aggressive, but the position of their position in Lu Guang's heart is probably still to be discussed.
It was precisely because Li Fei saw this clearly that he resolutely chose to follow Lu Hong in a low-key manner, because he believed that Lu Hong was a more trustworthy and promising person than Lu Zhan or Lu Shao.
"Three Master, let's continue talking" Li Fei said
"Yes, sir," Lu Hong's attitude was extremely respectful.
"Three Young Masters, the reason why our Liangzhou is important is that for Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Shuzhong, no matter which side, if you can obtain Longxi, you will have a geographically favorable situation. Think about it, why didn't Zhuge Kongming use it?
Wei Yan’s Ziwu Valley Strategy?”
When talking, you must have questions and great things. In fact, to Lu Hong, to a certain extent, it is almost the relationship between teachers and students. Now, Li Fei is focusing on cultivating Lu Hong, especially cultivating his strategic vision and thinking.
This time he took the exam, he also had to accept the results of these days.
The so-called Ziwu Valley Strategy refers to the Three Kingdoms period. During the first Northern Expedition by Zhuge Liang, General Wei Yan proposed the plan to attack Ziwu Valley Strategy. Wei Yan proposed that he could lead five thousand elite troops and go straight out of Bao, follow the Qinling Mountains to the east, and go to Ziwu
North, take the nearest road and quickly reach the city of Chang'an. The guardian was Xiahou Yan, the prince-consort of Wei. This man was cowardly and incompetent. Once he heard that the army was attacking, he would escape by boat. In this way, he could take Chang'an in one fell swoop.
After that, Zhuge Liang led a large army from Xigu to the west of Chang'an to support Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang's main force encircled and annihilated the main force of the Wei army in Guanzhong on both sides of the two sides of the main force of Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang.
However, Zhuge Liang thought that this plan was too dangerous and difficult to succeed, so he abandoned it and did not use it. After that, the Wei army also realized this problem and had prevented the direction of Ziwu Valley, so there was no more conditions.
It was because of this incident that Wei Yan felt that Zhuge Liang was too cautious and had no courage, and then became disinterested and unwilling to obey future generations. This was also one of the reasons for Wei Yan's subsequent rebellion.
This question is a big problem. Ziwu Valley's Qiming, the core is actually a core city where a weak country chooses to take the initiative to attack a strong country. To be honest, it requires courage and imagination to consider how to consider it, and it is very training human ability.
Lu Hong thought for a while and said, "Sir, Lu Hong thought that Zhuge Liang did not adopt this plan, not because he did not intend to attack Chang'an at all, and his target should be Liangzhou."
Li Fei was quite applauding, but he remained silent and said, "You continue talking."
"Sir, just as you said, Longxi is in the west of Guanzhong, and Hexi is in the west of Longxi. Therefore, Longxi is enough to control Guanzhong, and Hexi is enough to control Longxi with Guanzhong and want to conquer Longxi, you can connect Hexi and use Hexi to match Longxi with Longxi.
The geographical advantage of Longxi was that after the Longxi attack, Liu Xiuzhi and Dou Rongwei were the ones who fought against Longxi, because our Liangzhou is so important.”
It turned out that in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to Liu Xiu's Han court, there were three main forces: Wei Xiang in Longxi, Dou Rong in Hexi, and Gongsun Shu in Yizhou, Wei Xiang in superficially fought for the Han Dynasty and actually planned to seize the country.
Dou Rong's family has been in Hexi for many generations. I know his customs and feelings after occupying Liangzhou. I helped Xiongjie and gathered Qianghuo. It was very popular. The refugees in the East returned to the shelter and were recommended by the Hexi counties.
There are five counties including Jincheng, Wuwei, Zhangye and Jiuquan and Dunhuang.
Gongsun Shu relied on the dangers of the terrain of Yizhou, and took on the imperial system of Yizhou and wanted to divide his troops from two groups, one from Jingzhou to the north, one from Hanzhong to the north, two large armies, and took the Central Plains. In fact, this was the Longzhong with Zhuge Liang
Yes, it is quite similar and even said that Zhuge Liang also drew from Gongsun Shu's ideas to a large extent
But then again, the situation in the world at that time, compared with today, it is actually very similar. Jin State occupied Jianghuai and Shandong, Feishui won a new victory, and the momentum strengthened. Although the Murong family occupied Hebei, Murong Chong and Murong Chui had not yet decided on the victory.
Fu Jian was seriously ill during internal friction, and Fu Hong of the country could only barely protect the core area of Guanzhong, Lu Guang occupied Liangzhou and waited for the opportunity
Lu Hong thought for a while and said, "Sir, when Liu Xiu was concentrating on dealing with the heroes of Guandong, his strategy for dealing with the West was to use Long to control Shu in order to restrain Wei Xiang, and then he turned to Dou Rong, who was in Hexi. At the same time, Wei Xiang
It was also trying to win over Dou Rong, but it was Liu Xiu's envoy who was more capable. Dou Rong and his subordinates were inclined to Liu Xiu and sent envoys to Luoyang to test Liu Xiu's courtesy and sent envoys to Luoyang to test Liu Xiu's etiquette, and convinced Dou Rong with the spirit of tolerating the world by the king.
Rong and others were moved by Liu Xiu's demeanor and were moved by his sincerity. So they focused on Liu Xiu, Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu appointed Dou Rong as the governor of Liangzhou. After Liu Xiu in Hexi decided to set aside the Central Plains, they launched troops to attack Dou Rong in the west, leading the prefects of five Hexi counties to prepare for the troops.
The Yaobing River put a lot of pressure on Wei Xiang; later he personally led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to meet with Liu Xiu in Gaoping, and joined forces to attack Wei Xiang and Wei Xiang in poverty and surrendered to Gongsun Shu. He was defeated soon, and it was obvious that Dou Rong's
Choice is really as Liu Xiu said, it is important. In a sense, it is Liangzhou that determines the trend of the world."
"Yes," Li Fei sighed, "When the generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty first attacked Longxi, Wang Yuan, generals of Wei Xiang, occupied Longxi, and cut off the lumber and blocked the road to attack Longxi, and returned with great defeat. He had to change the defensive position, which shows that Longxi is in geography.
The advantages that the above mentioned Guanzhong are in charge of this is why Liu Xiu was in love with Dou Rong. If it were not impossible, I think Liu Xiu would not have such generous conditions. Dou Rong would have returned to the Han Dynasty with the West, so he changed.
The Eastern Han Dynasty faced the strategic situation in Longxi, so the third young master, you should think more about this point." Lu Hong nodded and said, "I think Liu Xiu's correct strategy must have also inspired Zhuge Liang very much. Zhuge Liang
This person is cautious in using his troops. He can gain a geographical advantage over Guanzhong by taking Liangzhou first. This is really important. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to win the world by relying on the land of Shuzhong."
Li Fei smiled and suddenly said, "The third young master thought that if Zhuge Liang did not consider this and instead supported Ziwu Valley Qimo, would you say he could succeed?"
Lu Hong thought for a moment and said firmly: "No!"
"Why"
Lu Hong said confidently: "Sir, Wei Yan's idea is certainly bold, but if the success is successful, it is indeed tempting, but if Wei Yan's plan is realized, five conditions must be met at the same time."
“Which five?”
"First, Wei Yan led his army from Baozhong, followed the Qinling Mountains to enter Ziwu Valley, followed the Ziwu Valley to Chang'an, and completed this journey in 10 days; Second, Xiahou Wei, the commander of Chang'an of Cao Wei, learned that Wei Yan's army suddenly
When we arrive, we must abandon the city and escape instead of closing the city to hold on to the third place. When Xiahou escaped, we must leave a large number of food, grass and supplies for the Shu army to eat. The Wei army's reinforcements must arrive in Chang'an in 20 days.
Zhuge Liang's army set out from the Xigu, and had to arrive in Chang'an within 20 days. To reinforce Wei Yan, he had to remove the other Wei troops west of Chang'an. According to my opinion, these five necessary conditions are possible for each one to achieve.
Not big”
Li Fei didn't expect that Lu Hong had such insight and suddenly gave five reasons for such clear structure. This was rare. He hurriedly encouraged Lu Hong to continue.
Lu Hong has now entered the state and said with a somewhat excited expression: "First, it is rare to pass through Ziwu Valley and arrive in Chang'an within 10 days. From our map, we can know that the Taoist Master Ziwu Valley has made an appointment.
600 miles, the mountains on both sides confront each other, and the water flows rapidly in the middle, all depends on the plank road mounted on the cliff. If there is a bad road in the middle, you must stop and repair it before you can continue to pass. If there are more bad roads, the repair time will be long.
The arrival time of Chang'an will be delayed. If it cannot reach Chang'an within 10 days, the detailed work of the Wei army may be prepared for information and will cause the Shu army to lose the effect of the surprise attack. Two years later, the Wei army commander Cao Zhen attacked Shu from Ziwu.
The time I walked on the road, Cao Zhen only walked half of Ziwu Valley in a month, and it can be seen that it is quite difficult to walk on Ziwu Valley within 10 days."
"This is the reason. I have visited Ziwu Valley specifically."
"Another, the second Wei army garrison Xiahou was timid and unscheming. This is a fact, but would he be afraid that he would actually escape by boat when he heard that Wei Yan's army came? I'm afraid Wei Yan's point would be too wishful thinking. If he wasn't
What if he abandoned the city and fled, but instead seized the city and waited for reinforcements to arrive? Even if Xiahou Wei really abandoned the city and fled, there was Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou of Cao Wei! In the past, when Huang Zhong fought against Dingjun Mountain, he was killed in the formation.
Xiahou Yuan, it was Guo Huai who stabilized the situation and prevented the dredging from further north. Now, this courageous and conspiring Guo Huai has become the governor of Yongzhou and guarded Chang'an together. Can he let go of the important land of Chang'an and escape with Xiahou Wei?"
Lu Hong took a breath and said, "Let's talk about the third point, even if Wei Yan successfully occupied Chang'an, how can we guarantee that the Cao army would leave a large amount of food, grass and supplies for the Shu army? If the Cao army transported the food away or simply burned it.
Can the Shu army defend the city with an empty stomach? If you want to go to Ziwu Valley, basically, you cannot bring too much food. You must rely on the Wei army's grain in Chang'an to replenish it. If the army has no food, you can't hold on.
As for the fourth point, who can guarantee that the Kwantung reinforcements will arrive in Chang'an within 20 days. Take Sima Yi's attack on Meng Da for example. Meng Da estimated that Sima Yi would not arrive in Shangyong in a month, but Sima Yi did
It took only eight days to arrive, and caught Meng Da off guard. And from Guandong to Guanzhong, the horse was flat along the way, without any natural barriers, which was conducive to the iron cavalry of Cao Wei's rushing day and night."
Li Fei was very happy to see Lu Hong say the more he said, the more he was, the more confident he was, and he was very happy. You know, Lu Hong is a student he taught. The students are promising, and he is also happy to be a teacher.
Lu Hong took a deep breath and said, "As for the fifth point, the Shu Road is difficult to walk. Zhuge Liang led his army from Xigu to Chang'an, and he still had to walk a thousand-mile plank road. How can he guarantee that he would definitely arrive in Chang'an before the arrival of Cao Wei reinforcements?
If it falls behind Cao's army, not to mention that Wei Yan's army is eaten by Cao's army, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition Army will station troops under the city and fall into a dilemma of advancing and retreating. After Lu Xun burned the camp, the elite troops of the Shu army were almost completely destroyed. Zhuge Liang worked hard to manage the
If this force fails for 10 years, Shu Kingdom will probably soon be destroyed! If any of these five points has problems, the Ziwu Valley Qimin will definitely fail, let alone these five may have problems? So, I think,
This is a strange plan in Ziwu Valley, which is simply not feasible."
After Lu Hong finished speaking so much in one breath, he was a little thirsty and hurriedly grabbed the water cup to drink water. Li Fei gently patted his hands and applauded because Lu Hong's statement was so wonderful.
Li Fei naturally praised him repeatedly, and Lu Hong was also humble. After the two sides gave in for several rounds, Li Fei said meaningfully: "Liangzhou is now in the hands of the governor, and that is the blessing of God! The third son,
You must seize the opportunity.”
Lu Hong knew that Li Fei's words were of course in addition to his words. In fact, he was trying to persuade himself to join the battle between the two brothers to fight for the throne because of various past concerns. For a long time, Lu Hong has basically taken this issue.
He was very clear about Li Fei's intention and was very grateful to Li Fei for being willing to burn his own cold stove instead of burning his two brothers' hot stove. However, Lu Hong has always been entangled in family affection and he is unwilling to do so.
He became enemies with his father and brother, and was unwilling to intervene in the naked power struggle. More importantly, he believed that in a place like Liangzhou, whether it was Lu Zhan or Lu Shao, their abilities were far beyond the restrictions of Liangzhou.
, It is basically no difficulty to build Liangzhou well
Li Fei took the opportunity to say, "Three Young Master, we have said so much just now, have you not noticed? Liangzhou is such an important place, how can it fall into the hands of others? Young Master, if you have Liangzhou,
Not only does it mean to protect oneself, but it is more important to protect the people. The world has been in peace for almost 100 years, and now people's hearts are
