Xu Zongwen held the little black face and listened carefully to Tian Luo's suggestion. In fact, Xu Zongwen wanted the same thing as Tian Luo. He first went north to Yecheng to anger Murong Chui, the tiger, so that he could not take care of both ends and relieve the pressure on Fu Pi, the Duke of Changle.
As long as Fu Pi lasts longer, it will be more beneficial to Xu Zongwen.
Hard to imagine, right?
The Qin and Jin armies, which have been at loggerheads since the Battle of Feishui, will one day work together?
The bustle in the world is all for the sake of coming, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the sake of going away.
All goals that cannot be achieved politically need to be achieved by military means. On the contrary, if something can be agreed upon politically, why use force and waste people and money?
Since the Northern Expedition of the Jin Army, they have successively recovered most of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, as well as Luoyang and Xingyang areas. The Hu people, mainly Xianbei and Dingling, gathered under the banner of Murong Chui to reestablish the Yan Kingdom and conquer the east and west of Sizhou. Hebei region of Jizhou.
Seeing that the Qin army has very little power left in Guandong, only Guangping Gong Fu Xi of Bingzhou, Wang Yong of Youzhou and Fu Chong of Pingzhou are left. Among these people, the most powerful one is Bingzhou Mu who is stationed in Taiyuan. Guangping Gong Fu Xi, because he had the general's personal disciple Hussar General Zhang Hao, and then there was Wang Yong, the eldest son of the former prime minister Wang Meng, the governor of Youzhou.
Xu Zongwen knew that it was only a matter of time before the Fu family's children would be defeated. The Jin Dynasty's greatest enemy in the future must be Murong Chui's Yan State, and the Jin Dynasty in history did support Fu Pi against Murong Chui.
"Do you two gentlemen think what Tian Luo said makes sense?"
Xu Zongwen squinted his eyes and asked Pei Qing and Xi Jian with a smile. He did not expect that Tian Luo had such an extraordinary view of the current situation. It seemed that not only he was growing during the battle, but others were also constantly fighting. improvement.
Pei Qing and Xi Jian glanced at each other and said in unison: "General, you might as well give it a try."
"good!"
Xu Zongwen suppressed his smile and reached out to pat the table.
Xu Zongwen said loudly: "We continue to go north, lure the Yan army to attack, and let the Qin army and the Yan army continue to consume under the city of Ye. At the same time, we sent orders to Shen Yu and Zheng Lue in the direction of Linqiu, asking them to cross north immediately after conquering Linqiu. Huang He, attack Dunqiu, disturb Murong Chui's sight, and make the Yan army confused about our true intentions..."
"No!" Everyone replied with serious expressions.
If Murong Chui gave up attacking Yecheng and turned around to deal with the Jin army, wouldn't there be a stalemate?
Think about defeat before winning. You have to think about what the enemy thinks about, and you have to think about what the enemy doesn't think about. In a word, everything must be one step ahead of the enemy!
Xu Zongwen suddenly thought of the Queyue Formation he presented to Zhu Xu on the night of the Battle of Feishui. Relying on the half-baked Queyue Formation, Zhu Xu led 800 Xiangyang soldiers to defeat thousands of Yangping Gong Fu Rong's troops.
It can be seen that if everything is prepared, with the 5,000 men in his hands and the 6,000 men in the hands of Shen Yu and Zheng Lue, he may be able to fight Murong Chui!
"This time I went to Yecheng with only 3,000 men. The remaining men were hanging out here to raise weapons, especially crossbows, repeating crossbows, Wanjun divine crossbows, and chariots. Then I collected all the warships at the old crossing of the Yellow River. Concentrate..."
Xu Zongwen was eloquent and eloquent. His order to search for ordnance, transfer it to warships, and then abandon Dangyin and go north to find opportunities to fight in Dunqiu territory made everyone a little confused.
Three thousand men went to sneak attack Murong Chui's 100,000 troops, and two thousand men transported the weapons and baggage north along the Yellow River to Dunqiu. This plan was no longer an adventure, but a desperate effort!
Because it was not yet certain whether Shen Yu and Zheng Lue had captured Linqiu, Xu Zongwen had no choice but to divide his troops into two groups. The plans to sneak attack Murong Chui and attack Dunqiu were carried out at the same time.
Soldiers are very fast. If they stay in Dangyin for too long, everything will be over by the time Murong Chui reacts!
The Hu people had the impression that the Han cavalry could only march fifty miles at night, and no more than a hundred miles at most. However, Xu Zongwen used practical actions time and time again to tell the Hu people that Xu Zongwen's cavalry could march more than three hundred miles in a night!
It took Xu Zongwen less than three days to travel the four hundred miles from Dingtao to Lihu and then to Puyang. He even stopped for one day in the middle. From Xingyang to Dangyin, he traveled more than three hundred miles with one person and two people riding under the stars at night. This is A record created by Xu Zongwen!
Why did the Qin army suffer repeated defeats at the hands of Xu Zongwen?
The main reason is because he despised Xu Zongwen, and Xu Zongwen's method of using cavalry to attack was unknown to the Qin army and the Yan army. However, Fu Hui, Mao Dang, Murong Bao, and Lan Han, who had had direct battles with him, fought alone. They died, two were captured, and the remaining one escaped by chance.
Murong Chui did not understand Xu Zongwen, but Xu Zongwen only overestimated Murong Chui but did not underestimate him. When the two armies were fighting, Murong Chui still needed to test Xu Zongwen's strength, but Xu Zongwen only needed to maintain a good attitude and deal with it carefully, so as not to perform abnormally.
"General, there is no problem in preparing bows, crossbows, arrows, swords, guns, halberds, and spears, but what is the use of such a cumbersome chariot?"
Xi Jian, like Xu Zongwen, has always advocated the importance of soldiers and speed, and his favorite is to use fine cavalry to divide the troops and rush forward. The chariot is an old antique. Due to the geographical setting, it is not half as fast as a single person riding in a row. Except for the application of tens of thousands of troops in a decisive battle, , it is simply unrealistic to use for raids.
"Canglanglang!" Xu Zongwen picked up the sword on the table, pulled out the sword and pointed at Dunqiu County on the map until the sword stopped at a place familiar to everyone.
"Puyang!"
"How could it be Puyang?"
The generals got up and gathered around, but they didn't expect that the place Xu Zongwen chose to seduce Murong Chui and have a decisive battle with him was actually Puyang!
When everyone looked disbelieving, Xi Jian looked at the Yellow River north of Puyang, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.
"General, do you mean to imitate Han Xin and fight to the bitter end?" Xi Jian raised his head and looked at Xu Zongwen.
Xu Zongwen laughed loudly, "That's right! I just want to fight to the death!"
Looking at everyone's wonderful and surprised eyes, Xu Zongwen slowly said: "Puyang faces the Yellow River to the north. Mr. Auxiliary Machinery led the fleet to this place and ordered to anchor, and let Shen Yu and Zheng Lue gather their troops to cross the river to attack Dunqiu on the north side of the Yellow River to attract Murong Chui. The main force. I will personally lead three thousand elite cavalry to harass the Yan army behind them. When Murong Chui’s main force arrives at Dunqiu, I will eat up his baggage troops and cut off his contact with the Yan army in Yecheng." After that..."
Xu Zongwen's strategic vision was very far-reaching. He mobilized Murong Chui to go south and then south until he approached the Yellow River ferry, and then concentrated his superior forces to fight the Yan army on the north bank of the Yellow River north of Puyang and south of Dunqiu!
Of course, choosing to fight the Yan army on the bank of the Yellow River in a battle that would determine the life and death of the two armies, Xu Zongwen relied on the Queyue Formation!
Everyone listened in rapt attention, and their eyes kept changing as Xu Zongwen's sword pointed in the direction.
"Report! There is a report of the Linqiu battle!"
"Quick, get it here!"
