"What? Did you really see clearly that there is only one thousand stones?"
"Brother, there really is only a thousand stones of grain and grass in the granary."
Xu Zongwen was confused. He didn't expect that the information Jin Yiwei asked was wrong this time. Dangyin was not a place for Yan army to store food at all!
Murong Chui's cunning rabbit had three caves. He deliberately turned Dangyin camp into a place where the Yan army's food and grass were stored, in order to confuse the forces who wanted to be unfavorable to him.
But how did Murong Chui know that someone would think of cutting off his food and grass?
Sizhou and Jizhou will become his possessions sooner or later. In the direction of Yanzhou, could it be that Shen Yu and Zheng Lue captured Linqiu?
If Shen Yu and the others successfully capture Linqiu, the governor of Yanzhou Zhang Chong will be dead, and the long and narrow territory from east to west of Yanzhou will be divided and eaten by the Eastern Route Army and the Middle Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Jin Army.
The land of Dangyin faces Yanzhou across the Yellow River, so it should not be too convenient for the Jin army to go north.
Under such a complicated situation, hoarding grain and grass in Dangyin, which is remote from Yecheng and close to Yanzhou, is indeed not the style of an outstanding commander.
So that's the case, then all this will be explained.
Xu Zongwen stood in front of the Danyin County Government Office and looked up at the low sky. He saw dark clouds in the sky, treacherous cloud waves, and a mountain rain was about to come, and the wind filled the building!
Xu Zongwen had a very bad feeling. The opponent he encountered this time was far stronger than he expected!
Murong Chui, this bad old man who is nearly sixty years old, has rich practical experience and full of military strategies. Since he joined the army at the age of fifteen, he has fought in more than a hundred battles in the past forty to fifty years without losing a single defeat!
"You are indeed the Thousand Mile Horse of the Murong family, and you deserve the reputation." Xu Zongwen turned around, looked at the plaque on the Dangyin County government office, shook his head, and didn't know what he was talking to himself.
The generals looked at each other without saying anything, so they had no choice but to enter the county government office closely behind him.
“Bang Dang——” After everyone sat down, Xu Zongwen took off the sword from his waist and threw it casually on the wooden table of the main seat, “Everyone, please tell me, whether we will advance or retreat, attack or defend, fight or make peace. ?”
The generals had different expressions, not knowing Xu Zongwen's true intention, and they all focused their attention on the two think tanks of the Xu Department - Pei Qing and Xi Jian.
Still following the old rules, it was Xi Jian who spoke first: "General, since Dangyin is just a bait for Murong Chui and we have swallowed it, the Yan army will soon know our location. At this time, they are busy attacking Yecheng. We can only take more precautions but are unable to divide our troops to attack, so we might as well take advantage of this opportunity and fight behind Murong Chui's back."
Xu Zongwen turned sideways and asked carefully: "How to maneuver and how to fight?"
It seemed that he had already prepared an answer for Xu Zongwen's inquiry. Xi Jian opened his mouth and explained: "Without the purpose of capturing the city and the land, we divided our troops and rushed into the vicinity of Yecheng. In the vast area formed by Dangyin, Neihuang, Anyang, Changle and Yecheng. Mobile warfare in the area. Harass the Yan army so that it cannot attack Yecheng with all its strength. If the enemy dares to pursue, we will concentrate our forces to eat up the small group of Yan army. If a large group of Yan army invades, we will lure them deep and stay away. Yecheng, then design it so that the troops are divided and defeated one by one..."
Sound familiar?
To put it bluntly, the strategy proposed by Xi Jian is guerrilla warfare. In a continuous and uninterrupted movement, he mobilizes the enemy, waits for opportunities to counterattack, concentrates superior forces to defeat them one by one, cannibalizes the enemy's vitality, and finally wins.
Xu Zongwen rubbed his chin and considered it carefully. He had to say that Xi Jian's strategy was very suitable for the Jin army at the moment. As long as it could restrain Murong Chui from attacking Yecheng, it would cause greater losses to the Qin and Yan armies. The depletion of the Yan army's strength would have a great impact on the Jin army in the future. It is extremely beneficial to fight against the Yan army!
Pei Qing also put forward his own different ideas after Xi Jian. He ordered someone to bring a map of Sizhou and talked eloquently: "Now that Dangyin has been captured by us, this victory has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that this is In our first battle with the Yan army, we were able to understand what kind of army the Yan army was, which will help us to be well aware of the Yan army in the future and avoid panic in the face of battle."
"The disadvantage of taking down Dangyin is that our marching position is completely exposed. If Lan Han is let go, we will definitely face a blow from the more powerful Yan army."
"So, the most important thing for us is to go east and open up a new battlefield, which is Dunqiu!"
Xu Zongwen looked at Pei Qing's clean face, twirling his long mustache, and kept nodding his head to show that he was listening very seriously?
Xu Zongwen felt that Xi Jian's strategy of dividing his troops to the north and attacking the Yan army was still risky. In contrast, Pei Qing's strategy of attacking Dunqiu and opening up the battlefield behind the Yan army was more prudent.
With five thousand against one hundred thousand, Xu Zongwen has never fought before, including the battle of Yongqiu.
However, the Battle of Yongqiu was because Mao Dang, the general of the Qin Army, sent out the main force to attack Yongqiu City from all sides, leaving Mao Dang's own camp empty. This gave Xu Zongwen the opportunity to take advantage of it and complete it excellently and perfectly. He carried out a beheading operation against the Qin army, and then defeated the Qin army with a small number and a large number.
Xu Zongwen was silent for a long time and asked Pang Bai: "Has the battle report from Linqiu arrived?"
Pang Bai stood aside and did not dare to sit down. He had always felt guilty about the mistake in Dang Yin's intelligence. Suddenly, when he heard Xu Zongwen calling him, he immediately opened his eyes wide and concentrated on replying: "Go back to the general, I should be here in the next two days. "
"No, if they rush north without taking Linqiu, wouldn't the fight at Linqiu be in vain?" Xu Zongwen waved his hand. It seems that Xi Jian's guerrilla warfare will still have to be used.
"General, Murong Chui is different from Mao Dang. The Qin army has not encountered a decent opponent in the past few years. The combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong army has dropped sharply, and our army has been fighting the Qin army in Xuzhou, Qingzhou and the Central Plains for half a year. , the combat power is constantly rising, and the Qin army is vulnerable to a single blow."
"But the 30,000 Xianbei knights under Murong Chui must not be underestimated!"
Pei Qing tried to persuade him from the side. He knew that Xu Zongwen had won consecutive battles, and his mentality had probably changed a long time ago. He was no longer as cautious and cautious as before.
After defeating so many generals of the Qin State, Xu Zongwen's contempt for the enemy had unknowingly arisen. After taking down Xingyang and Dangyin, he also regarded the Yan army as a vulnerable opponent, so it is very likely that he would take Xi Jian's approach. The strategy of going deep alone.
"Mr. Auxiliary Machine, there is no need to go into details. I know that Murong Chui is not an easy person and I will not despise him." Xu Zongwen held the hilt of the sword on the table tightly and said thoughtfully.
Hearing this, a sincere smile appeared on Pei Qing's face, that's good, that's good!
On the other side, Tian Luo and Zhang Gui looked at each other. The two gentlemen were discussing with their eldest brother. They didn't even have a chance to say a word. This was so insignificant!
Tian Luo: How do you think eldest brother will advance?
Zhang Gui spread his hands: How do I know? Do you really think I'm the roundworm in my eldest brother's belly?
Seemingly realizing that these two people were holding something back, Xu Zongwen suddenly turned his head towards Tian Luo and Zhang Gui, "Tell me, where should we go now?"
Tian Luo cupped his hands and said seriously: "Brother, what the two gentlemen said is reasonable. I think we can adopt them together."
"Adopt them together?" Xu Zongwen's eyes lit up and suddenly shone...
