Everyone present basically understands the art of war, even if they only have a partial understanding of it. Liu Wu, Zhang Jin, and Feng rushed away from Wuguandao. What does it mean to attack Nanyang?
Nanyang is a strategic location from all directions. You can go up to Luoyang in the north, go down to Xiangyang in the south, go across the Central Plains in the east, and reach Chang'an in the northwest.
When the time comes, Liu Wu, Zhang Jin, Feng Chong and other generals can direct where to attack.
These are three generals of the Han Dynasty, and three horse and infantry troops of ten thousand households, galloping freely.
If Luoyang is lost. In private, Wu Yan is the commander-in-chief of Luoyang, not the commander-in-chief of Chang'an. It is his duty to defend Luoyang.
Yu Gong. If the Han Dynasty occupied the prosperous Luoyang Basin, they would unite with Nanyang to manage it. If we keep fighting at every step, Chang'an may not be able to be saved.
Luoyang and Nanyang are not lost, and with Chu's national power, it can still maintain a stalemate with Han.
Once Luoyang and Nanyang are lost, Chu State will most likely become a Southern Dynasty. It's hard to say whether it can be settled in a corner.
Under such circumstances, Wu Yan's reinforcements may not be able to come to Chang'an.
But Lu Jing just blew the horn, beat the gongs and drums, and said aggressively, we will definitely win this battle.
The city is strong.
The army is elite.
Food and military supplies are sufficient.
There are reinforcements.
If this doesn't win, then the ancestors' art of war should be thrown away.
Now a sharp three-foot sword fell and cut off one of Lu Jing's arms. The most important reinforcements are gone.
Although Chang'an is well-equipped with soldiers and well-provisioned, and the city is strong, it is difficult to defend the isolated city.
Everyone felt a chill rising in their hearts and then sweeping through their bodies. They shivered, then raised their heads and looked at Lu Jing.
Now how to do?
After Lu Jing's expression changed, he immediately regained his composure. He pinched his beard with a smile and said, "The Wuguan Road is long and winding, with many passes."
"It is not easy for the Han army to enter Nanyang from Wuguan Road. Even if they can reach Nanyang, it will take a long time."
"During this period, the imperial court and Nanyang generals will be fully prepared to deploy defenses in Nanyang."
"Nanyang can't lose it."
"Although General Wu did not lead the 20,000-horse infantry into Chang'an to help us defend the city, he also restrained the Han army's internal guards Wang Guibu, Wu Nian, Liu Wu, Zhang Jin, and Feng Chong, four soldiers and horses of ten thousand households."
"He helped us share a lot of pressure. In addition, Mr. Han, the governor of Gansu, helped us hold back 40,000 households of the Han army."
"How many troops does the Han army have left to attack Chang'an City?"
"This battle. Chang'an is impregnable."
Lu Jing's words greatly boosted the morale of everyone present.
"Yes." Everyone clasped their fists and bent down towards Lu Jing, shouting yes.
"Well, you all go down and perform your duties. Don't slack off. General Li will stay." Lu Jing nodded with a smile and said.
"Yes." Everyone glanced at Li Shangdao and turned around in response.
As soon as everyone left, Lu Jing's expression fell. He frowned and said to Li Gaofeng: "General Li, Chang'an is still in my hands. Wu Nian dared to send a lone army deep into Wuguan Road to attack Nanyang. This is really true. It was beyond my expectation.”
"I'm afraid it's beyond Wu Yan's expectation."
"Although Wu Yan also restrained the Han army's soldiers and horses of 40,000 households. But the Han army still has more than 100,000 households, which is enough to attack Chang'an."
"If Wu Yan's 20,000 horse infantry can enter Chang'an City and consume the Han army, we have a big chance of winning. Now the situation has become unclear."
"Hey. It's really unexpected." Li Gaofeng sighed and shook his head.
Chang'an City in front was not removed, so the Han army went deep alone.
Only Wu Nian dared.
Only when the Han army is strong can it have nothing to worry about.
It’s so frustrating.
"General. It's useless to think about this now. Let's do our best. Hold the main force of the Han army in Chang'an and consume it with the Han army. For the rest, let the court figure out its own solution."
Li Gaofeng raised his head, cupped his fists and saluted Lu Jing.
"Hey." Lu Jing sighed, really worried.
The situation is really bad.
Ever since Zhang Zhen led thousands of soldiers and horses to sneak across the Yellow River and attacked him once, everything changed.
Everything has changed.
The time spent leisurely drinking tea is gone forever.
I sighed too much and couldn't sleep at night. There are more gray hairs and more wrinkles.
...........
All troops in the Han army have their own tasks.
General Han Gonglongqie led thirteen thousand warriors including Zhang Sheng, Tieniu, Zhao Yanting, Guan Jinhan, Huang Hu, Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong, Kyogoku Dosan, Kumamoto Neiji, Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun, Wei Polu, etc. A small force of 200,000 horses and horses crossed the river one after another.
There were tens of thousands of civilians accompanying him.
The flag of the Han army covered the sky and blocked out the sun. The sound of men and horses sounded like thunder.
A ship transports countless amounts of food and military supplies.
There was also Liu Zhixing from the rear who dispatched provisions and new soldiers.
Chang'an City is indeed well-equipped with soldiers and food.
While the Han army was well-equipped with soldiers and grain, it also had a continuous supply of food and troops.
The Han Dynasty was the power of the whole country.
Chang'an City is just an isolated city.
On the south bank of the Wei River, the Dalian Camp of the Han Army was stationed.
The Chinese military camp, outside the Chinese military tent. Long Qie's personal soldiers were armored and sharp-edged, with wide-open eyes. They stared at the surroundings and were on strict alert.
Inside the big tent.
Long Qie sat on the commander's seat, with twelve generals sitting on the left and right sides. They are all the heroes and generals accumulated in the Han Dynasty for decades, and they are at their peak.
Long Qie glanced at the generals and sighed inwardly.
I remember back then, when I commanded tens of thousands of fleeing civilians and military households, they were besieged by the Mongolian people. If His Majesty hadn't led the troops to rescue me, I would have been a pile of dirt.
Unexpectedly, twenty years later, I would be commanding a small army of 200,000 people.
Fight for Chang'an for Your Majesty.
It's so dreamy.
Putting away his thoughts, Long Qie said in a deep voice: "I have an army of 200,000 in my hand, and I can conquer Chang'an with only a few seconds left."
"It's just that it's not safe enough to attack Chang'an now."
"General Zhang Sheng. You send troops to the west and attack the prefectures and counties along the way. Those who don't obey orders will be punished. Those who obey orders will be appeased."
"General Iron, you send troops eastward. Same as General Zhang."
"The army fought steadily, occupying the cities in Weinan first and isolating Chang'an."
"Yes." Zhang Sheng and Tieniu stood up and responded loudly. Then he bowed to Long Qie, turned around and left the tent.
"The art of war. When you surround a city, you will definitely open up a way out, so if you surround three, there will be one missing."
"The army will set off tomorrow to surround Chang'an from the north, east and west. General Wei. You alone will lead an army of ten thousand households, take a small road, and choose a place to ambush in the south."
"If Lu Jing cannot defend Chang'an and escapes from the south city gate, try your best to kill him."
"As soon as Lu Jing dies, he can take advantage of the victory to pursue his plans and plot against Bashu."
At the end of the sentence, Long Qie's eyes fell on Wei Polu. The generals present were divided into two generations, the old and the new.
Among the new generation of generals, Wei Polu, Zhang Zhen, and King Qi are the most brave and adept at fighting.
Now the King of Qi is in the northwest.
Between Wei Polu and Zhang Zhen.
Long Qie chose Wei Polu. Wei Polu was older and had more combat experience, and the Wei family army was more elite.
"yes."
The generals had no objections and stood up and shouted yes.
Same as Long Qie thought. The situation is like this, and the Han army is strong.
Most of the prefectures and counties in Weinan, except Chang'an City, were defeated by the wind, and a few thorns were also suppressed.
For a while.
In the land of Guanzhong, only Chang'an is left as an isolated city.
That morning, Long Qie led his army to Chang'an City.
