In a certain hall of Weiyang Palace, Han Sui was sitting in the main seat with a calm expression. Dozens of people were sitting in rows below, but they were all focused and calm. The atmosphere in the hall was dull, and there was a strange aura floating around.
Now, the troops are pressing down on the territory, and Chang'an is facing a life-or-death battle. The opponent is very, very powerful. Since Gai Jun took charge of the army, he has conquered the world, is invincible, and has never been defeated. He is recognized by the world as the best general of the Han Dynasty. Whether it is Han Sui's side or not
, or Dong Jun's side, were all defeated at the hands of Gai Jun. Now Gai Jun's army of more than 100,000 people is approaching Chang'an. We must work together and unite sincerely to have a chance of survival.
However, Han Sui and Dong Jun are only allies after all, and it is impossible to completely abandon selfish ambitions. For example, Gai Jun's army is divided into two directions: east and north. The east is strong and the north is weak. Whoever defends the east will fight against Gai Jun's main force.
In the north, fight against Gai Jun's partial army? This is a big question. In the final analysis, no one is willing to harm his own interests to benefit others.
The situation was so critical that Han Sui could still look calm and calm. In terms of Qi nourishing skills alone, he was beyond the reach of others. He was able to rise up when the Han Dynasty was at peace, become the leader of one side, dominate Xiliang, and give orders.
Han Hu, it's not unreasonable. Han Sui looked at Dong Jun's generals calmly, with deep meaning in his eyes, directing Dong Yue, Niu Fu and others as if they had a ray of light on their backs.
Niu Fu and Dong Yue subconsciously avoided Han Sui's gaze and looked at each other. When they were blocked at the gate of Zheng County, Gai Jun repeatedly extended an olive branch. At that time, the army was in trouble and its future was gloomy. Faced with the recruitment of the overlord of Heshuo, the generals were not helpless.
There were many people who wavered and proposed to surrender, but in the end, the two of them still refused and insisted on going to Beijing. Now, Yu Gong, Niu Fu, and Dong Yueguan have reached the position of general, and they share the national affairs with Han Sui. Yu Si, Lue
They gained countless wealth and were said to be as rich as the enemy. They did not regret their original choice. If they had voted for Gaijun, they would never have gained so many benefits.
In order to defend their vested interests, the two of them had to fight hard. As if they had made up their minds, they both nodded at the same time. Dong Yue took a deep breath, stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and called Han Sui loudly: "Mr. Han, Gai Junxiang Heshuo
, relying on their own strength and having evil intentions, now they are marching southward, spreading poison in the pass, and threatening the country. We are trying to compete with them, and we cannot defeat them unless we work together."
Niu Fu also stood up and said: "Han Gong is the head of state, and we are willing to be driven to defeat the stubborn enemy..."
Before Han Sui could say anything, Dong Yue frowned and glanced at Niu Fu. The two sides were just allies, not subordinates. Niu Fu's words were too humble and put his side in an extremely disadvantageous position. This was not a good idea.
Phenomenon.
Han Sui stood high above him and could see everyone's expressions. He smiled and said, "If you have this intention, there is no need to worry about Gai Jun."
Next, Han Sui began to target Gai Jun and discuss with everyone how to deal with the enemy.
Inside and outside Chang'an, Han's army has more than 80,000 soldiers, about half of them are infantry and cavalry. Dong's army has more than 40,000 and less than 50,000 soldiers, including about 15,000 cavalry, more than 30,000 infantry, and more than 30,000 infantry.
130,000. The advantage of the Chang'an coalition is that it occupies a convenient location and has a large number of cavalry. As for the righteousness of the court, let's not mention it. The disadvantage is that the quality of the soldiers is slightly inferior to that of the general army, so a decisive battle across the river is the next best option.
, it is not advisable. The best way is to defend the Wei River in the north and dominate the river in the east. Even if the defense cannot be defended, the enemy can still be allowed to cross the river and then use iron cavalry to break through.
The specific arrangements are as follows. On the northern front, Han and Dong each sent 10,000 troops, with General Han Sui and General Yang Wu as the northern governor, General Dong and General Fenwei Hu Zhen as deputy, with generals under their jurisdiction, General Zhonglang.
Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Qu Yan, Dong Ji, Guo Si and more than ten people guarded Huquan, Weiqiao and other places to resist Zuofeng Yi's Gaoling Gai army north of the Wei River.
The Eastern Front completely abandoned Ba Ling and other places, and retreated to the west of Ba River. There is a tributary to the west of Ba River, Changshui, commonly known as Chan River among the people. Communication was inconvenient, so Han Sui divided it into two and divided it into two major theaters: the southern theater, namely Chan and Ba River.
In Ershuijian, the Han and Dong armies each sent 15,000 troops, with a total of 30,000 infantry and cavalry. Dong's army was led by Zuo General Niu Fu, and Han's army was led by Yangwei General Cheng Yi. They were divided into tunba shang and Lantian.
Ba Ling on the other side of the B River and Gaoling in the north of the Weishui River are very close to each other. The two armies in the east and north may join forces at any time. Therefore, the northern theater of the B River not only needs to withstand pressure from the east, but also needs to support the troops along the Weishui River at any time.
Yang Qiu, Hu Zhen, and Han Sui paid the most attention to this road. They spared no expense and sent as many as 50,000 troops, including 30,000 Han troops and 20,000 Dong troops. The leaders of Han and Dong armies were former generals Dong Yue and Yang Lie respectively.
General Qu Sheng was stationed at Zhidao, Changmen and other places...
Finally, Han Sui took charge of the capital with an army of more than 30,000 men and took charge of the overall situation.
Although Dong Jun was subordinated to Han Sui, he actually had his own system, and the two sides were once life-or-death enemies. They fought many fierce battles on the battlefield, resulting in heavy casualties and deep grievances. Now Han Sui adopts the method of "hundred", which is quite effective.
If there is anything wrong with it, it will lead to the disaster of the wall. However, Han Sui has no choice but to arrange it this way. If the two sides are clearly divided, Gai Jun is likely to ignore Dong Jun and attack Han Jun fiercely, weakening his power.
, changing the strength balance between Han and Dong, then even if Gai Jun does not win, he can temporarily retreat, sow discord between Han and Dong, and reap the benefits.
"..." Dong Yue and Niu Fu looked at each other. Han Sui's arrangement treated both sides equally, which seemed fair. But what about the reality? Dong Yue all went to the front line and was defeated. After this fierce battle, even if he won, it would be difficult to win again.
He made a difference. However, Han Sui was too powerful. In fact, he sent more troops than Dong Jun. This was fair and made Dong Jun's generals unable to say anything wrong.
After the strategy was decided, the generals dispersed and returned to their camps to prepare for the front line. Only four people, Han Sui, Yan Zhong, Li Xiangru and Cheng Gongying, were left in the room.
Han Sui's right index finger tapped the desk rhythmically, thinking about everything silently. After a while, he came back to his senses and said to his sworn brother Li Xiangru: "The envoys sent earlier, counting the time, should be arriving in Wuwei soon...
"
"Most of them have crossed the river and entered the realm of Wuwei..." Li Xiangru nodded and replied. Then he frowned and raised what he was worried about: "Although Lu Shuihu once cooperated with us to defeat Zhao Qi, his purpose is
Self-reliant, now entrenched in Wuwei, Zhangye, and forming a country of its own, they do not interact with us, and they are no better than the Qiang people in Huangzhong. Will they really respond to our invitation?"
It turned out that Han Sui had been worried about Gai Jun for a long time and knew that a war would break out between the two sides once Changan was over. To be honest, he did not have the confidence to deal with Gai Jun alone, so he made preparations in advance and sent an envoy to Wuwei to persuade Lu Shuihu to let him.
Cooperate with the Korean army in the four counties of Hexi to attack Beidi County from behind. Beidi County is the place where Gai Jun started his career. After a long time, if Gai Jun heard that Beidi had fallen, he would definitely send troops back to help. This would greatly alleviate the situation.
Pressure in Chang'an.
Cheng Gongying replied on behalf of Han Sui: "The north is rich and rich, and Lu Shuihu has been watching it for a long time. However, Gaijun has always been strong, and the soldiers and horses in the north are strong, so the heads of the barbarians dare not be greedy. Now that Gaijun has raised his troops to come south, it can be said that With all the troops out, the troops in the north are empty, Lu Shuihu sees it in his eyes, how can he not be moved?"
"Why don't I know this?" Li Xiangru disagreed and said: "Wuwei, Zhangye and Lushuihu, there are only three ways to march into Beidi County. One is to cross the Yellow River to the south, pass through Anding, and reach the north. But take this way The road will inevitably be noticed by the Northern Army's military forces first, and the effect of taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared will be lost, which is of no use."
"The second way is to go north out of the fortress and take a detour back to the north of Beidi County. However, there is a vast and uninhabited area outside the fortress. It is very likely that we will lose our direction and delay the important event."
"The third road is to the southeast, retracing the route that Huo Qiaoqi marched to Hexi, crossing two thousand miles of desert, entering the Xianling Qiang settlement, climbing Shegu Mountain, crossing the Nishui River, and entering Beidi County. This road... "Speaking of this, Li Xiangru shook his head. Huo Qubing was a generation of military wizards, and he was loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. His troops were all selected elite generals. The rest of the Han generals could only be assigned to Huo Qubing. The rest is that Huo's army is more elite than any other army. Li Xiangru obviously did not think that the ragtag group composed of Hexi County soldiers and Lu Shuihu could match Huo's army.
Cheng Gongying said: "Beidi County has only a few soldiers now. Once we enter its territory, it will be smooth sailing. Beidi County is known for its wealth in the northwest. The money and food are huge, more than hundreds of millions? Facing such a big Youhuo, it is enough to make everyone Hu Shou is willing to take risks..."
Han Sui gently tapped the desk, interrupted the argument between the two, and said: "Okay, let's stop talking here. It is useless to argue anymore. Although we can use external forces to fight against Gai Jun, we should not expect too much. The main thing is to rely on Ourselves." Of course Han Sui did not care as much as he said. On the contrary, he paid more attention to it than anyone else. His subordinate Wenwu only knew that he sent people to lobby Lu Shuihu, but the details were not clear.
Han Sui sent troops to defeat Lu Shuihu. In addition to promising that his troops would not take any money or food from the north, Han Sui also promised to cede the entire territory of Wuwei and the eastern part of Zhangye, and formally recognized Lu Shuihu's regime. Juqu, the leader of Lu Shuihu who has risen in recent years, Yuan An was very ambitious and had the intention of establishing a career. Han Sui believed that when the other party heard about it, he would definitely give in.
Han Sui's move seemed "generous", but in fact he did not lose much. For example, the money and food in the north were not his in the first place. It was like recognizing Lu Shuihu's regime, just one sentence. As for ceding land, Lu Shuihu originally occupied Wuwei. In the north, east of Zhangye, Han Sui sent troops to Lu Shuihu at the expense of several counties south of Wuwei. No matter how you look at it, it is a cost-effective thing.
Han Sui was not worried at all that Lu Shui's beard would not lose its tail. Even if he let it get to the north, what would happen? In Han Sui's eyes, a barbarian is a barbarian and will never be on the stage. Although the world is messy now, it is still a Han world. In the future, Stabilize the country, free up your hands, and send a partial army to destroy it.
