General Guan may not be as politically sensitive as Zhang Xiaosi.
In terms of overall planning, he can't compare to Feng.
But she undoubtedly has extremely amazing battlefield acumen.
It might be a hereditary talent, or it might be a potential that was forced out during the life-and-death crisis in Jingzhou.
Just from Guo Huai's slightly unusual retreat, we can infer from clues that there may be changes in Guanzhong.
Regardless of whether this judgment is correct or not, it can be regarded as a warning after all.
According to Guan Ji's judgment, Sima Yi is likely to fall in Hedong, and at the latest when the ferry is lost, he will begin to fully shrink the front.
Abandon the west of Chang'an, take all the Wei troops in Guanzhong back to Chang'an to Tongguan, and set up defenses along the Wei River.
In this case, he would have enough troops to rely on Chang'an City and Tongguan to resist the Prime Minister in the west and resist the Liangzhou Army in the east.
At the same time, you can also screen the retreat route to Wuguan in the south.
If I remember correctly, the General Staff Department also deduced such a situation.
This is not fanciful, but very feasible.
Because Chang'an City is now a hedgehog.
Over the years, Sima Yi set up countless deep ditch barriers with Chang'an City as the center and within a dozen miles around.
It shows that he does have a plan to defend Chang'an.
Stone cannons are indeed powerful when attacking a city, but the city wall must be within its range.
Even if there are enough stones, the stone cannons will cause huge damage to the barrier with a depth of more than ten miles.
It is impossible to bulldoze it and invade the camp that the opponent has worked so hard to build without paying a price.
Not to mention trenches and the like, stone cannons have no way to deal with them, and in the end the soldiers have to risk their lives to fill them.
The most troublesome thing is the hidden soldier cave that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The Tibetan Soldier Cave can not only protect against arrow feathers, but also against stone cannons.
Once the attacker stops firing arrows and starts attacking, the unharmed defender soldiers in the cave will suddenly appear to resist.
The Meat Grinder of Verdun in later generations was a contest between the use of large numbers of artillery for attack and the use of deep ditches and trenches for defense in depth.
Germany's defeat in this battle marked the decline of its military offensive capabilities from its peak, and the war initiative began to shift to its opponents.
It would be too whimsical for Shi Pao to want to do something that artillery can't do.
Of course, the Wei army certainly did not meet the organizational capabilities of later modern armies. Whether it had such civil engineering capabilities is also a question.
But showing leniency to the enemy is a principle of war.
What's more, the opponent is Sima Yi.
Even if Chang'an could not stop the Han army in the end, as long as it took advantage of its numerical advantage, it could delay the attack for a year and a half and inflict huge casualties on the Han army.
That would be enough to keep Wei Guo alive for several more years.
If with luck, General Guan's imaginary wait-and-see situation turns around, wouldn't Wei be in a prosperous state?
The only difference from the staff deduction was that during Guan Ji's evacuation from Guo Huai, she suspected that Sima Yi might mobilize the Wei troops on the front line of Wancheng and Jingzhou to enter Guanzhong through Wuguan.
Then he set up an ambush with heavy troops south of Luoshui, preparing to attack him.
This is a treasure lady.
Governor Feng tapped the table gently with his knuckles.
This is a reflection of his thinking.
Governor Feng didn't care about fighting or anything.
Because he never thought about crossing the river from the beginning.
On the contrary, if Sima Yi really mobilized part of the Wei army from Wancheng and Jingzhou to enter Guanzhong, as his subordinate expected, there would be a lot to say.
Part of the Wei army on the front line in Jingzhou has been transferred away. What is the Wu army doing in the south?
Just watch them leave?
In other words, why did the Wu army in Jingzhou watch helplessly as the Wei army in the north transferred part of it and remained indifferent?
Perhaps General Guan had personal emotional factors in his judgment. After all, the incident in Jingzhou was a knot in her mind that she would never be able to untie in her life.
But considering Wu Kou... well, it's Wu State. After all, given Wu State's criminal record, this possibility is not non-existent.
And the possibility may not be low.
After all, Han and Wei have been fighting in Guanzhong for more than half a year. No matter how slow the news from Wu is, we should be able to get some news about this battle.
Not to mention that high-level interactions between Han and Wu are now very frequent.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty will definitely report the situation of the battle ahead to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
And the little fat emperor will definitely write a letter to Sun Shiwan.
Of course, it's definitely not to show off, but to exchange news.
What kind of army is progressing smoothly, what kind of thieves are fleeing...
Although Feng Jishi cannot see the whole situation of the battle now, Wei Guo showed its weakness and weakness after losing the heavy commandery in Hedong.
It can be easily inferred that the Wei army must be in a dilemma in Guanzhong, thinking about their heads rather than their backs.
There is no reason why the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty could not see things that even Governor Feng could see.
As long as Sima Yi reacts slightly abnormally, Zhuge Liang should be able to guess what happened to the east.
What's more, Wu Guo, standing as a third party, can combine the information obtained from Han and Wei, and even understand the overall war situation better than the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Wu State can easily deduce that in this battle, the Han Dynasty is very likely to win the territory of Guanzhong and Bingzhou and Hedong in one fell swoop.
As long as you manage it carefully in the future, you can become the strongest company in the Three Kingdoms.
I might be a little envious if someone I've never met wins the lottery.
Those with a better mentality not only have no troubles in their hearts, but even want to laugh a little.
But Qing Diaosi, who went to the Internet cafe with me every day, bought a lottery ticket on the way to the Internet cafe with me.
Then he told me the next day that he had won several million, and that he would cover all the internet bills for the next month.
Do you think I'd be grateful?
No, jealousy will only distort my mentality and change it beyond recognition!
Seeing Feng Junhou's face changing from clear to dark, Han Long couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, General Guan is in Hexi, but what difficulties have he encountered?"
"No." Governor Feng shook his head and smiled calmly, "It's not a difficult matter, it's just that General Guan is a little impatient."
Since you suspect Sima Yi to be deceitful, then just don't fight him.
What does his desire to attack Junhou Feng have to do with Governor Feng's desire to fish?
However, since General Guan on the front line was so anxious to find out the news about Guanzhong, he must have her reasons, and he just followed her wishes.
At this point, Governor Feng still believed in General Guan.
Hearing what Feng Jishi said, Han Long finally let go of his worries:
"Since the Lord has asked me to take this trip, I naturally have nothing to say, but this is how I just forget about the matter in Hedong?"
Governor Feng picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and after swallowing it, he said:
"Of course I'm not letting it go like this. I'm just ignoring them for the time being. I'll still have to settle accounts with them later."
Aristocratic families are able to control places, except for the complicated and intricate network of relationships between them.
Privately, he supports countless retainers.
These retainers are their private armed forces.
During the Gaoping Ling Incident, the three thousand disciples that Sima Yi relied on were the troops he secretly cultivated in private.
And among these so-called retainers, many are knight-errants who are attached to wealthy families.
Why are the rangers in places like Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou famous?
In addition to being on the frontier, wars occur all year round, which makes everyone accustomed to bloodshed, so they dare to fight and fight.
Another reason that is often overlooked is that these places are too poor compared to the Central Plains.
The local wealthy families did not have enough strength to take them all under their sect.
Try changing to Zhongyuan?
Sima Yi could secretly recruit three thousand disciples by himself, and he was still a dead soldier.
One can imagine how many private armed forces are hidden in the Central Plains where aristocratic families are densely populated.
What Han Long is doing now is, in the name of the Wulin Alliance, with one hand of loyalty and one hand of golden tickets to pave the way, specifically to persuade and instigate rebellion against those Hedong rangers who work for the wealthy families.
The effect is quite obvious.
According to Han Long, many wanderers who had gone astray cried bitterly and expressed their willingness to change their minds, start a new life, and contribute to the people of the world.
How to get out?
Joining the rebel army, making some of the former boss's ulterior secrets known to the world, etc., are all manifestations of hard work.
Of course, there are also many die-hards who are unrepentant.
After all, Hedong is the home base of aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families must have enough business here.
"Those knights who are willing to serve as hawks and dogs for wealthy families and harm the common people violate the principles of chivalry and are evil. As a well-known and upright sect in the martial arts world, the Wulin Alliance must not stand against them."
Governor Feng said sternly, "As the saying goes, there is no coexistence between good and evil. It is the duty of the Wulin Alliance to clean up the scum of the rangers and promote the way of chivalry."
"This must be done not only now, but also in the future, until the day when the Ranger scum disappears."
As the saying goes, "Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates prohibitions with force."
As a dynamic group in society and an unstable factor in the eyes of the government, the group of Rangers has never disappeared from the moment it appeared.
Especially the knight-errants from the Han Dynasty are the most famous.
Even the low-key general Wei Qing personally came forward to intercede for the famous hero Guo Xie in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which shows the great influence.
Therefore, Governor Feng did not want to make this group disappear. All he had to do was to try his best to guide them to the right path.
We do not expect to be able to be a "great chivalrous person who serves the country and the people", but we hope that "if there is injustice in the world, there will be people who complain about it."
If one day they can take this as their belief, it will be much better than "a chivalrous person using force to break the law."
When Han Long heard what Feng Jishi said, he immediately stood up with excitement, clasped his fists and said:
"The knights in the world are lucky enough to meet Feng Langjun, and then they will know what chivalry means. Who dares to call himself a knight if he doesn't know Feng Langjun?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Martial Arts Alliance will definitely fight against those scoundrels who practice chivalry and will live up to your trust!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Governor Feng suddenly coughed, and he didn't know if a fish bone was stuck in his throat.
"Old Han's words are serious. Sit down, please sit down. With Old Han's words, I feel relieved about the Wulin Alliance."
Seeing Han Long sitting down contentedly, as if his life was complete, Feng Jishishi felt a little guilty.
There were no rivers and lakes in this world. Later, I created one...
In the future, this world is destined to not be peaceful!
Governor Feng sighed a little in his heart.
He looked at Han Long again:
"When Mr. Han goes to General Guan this time, he may need to continue sneaking behind the thieves and contact the righteous people in Guanzhong. Please be more careful then."
Han Long laughed:
"Don't worry, Junhou. I've been doing this for more than a day or two. I'm familiar with Guanzhong, and I'm much more familiar with it than Hedong."
"Always bring more experts from the Martial Arts Alliance, as more people make things easier."
With the Wulin Alliance, you have to make use of it.
Most of the knight-errants are people who value righteousness. They care less about life and death than valuing loyalty. They are willing to die for their close friends, and they even skip the training process of death warriors.
I believe that Han Long knows them well and should be able to select suitable candidates.
"It's just what the prince said."
Han Long had just set out, and General Guan, who was stationed in Xia Yang City, decided to wait for an opportunity to attack even though he knew that Sima Yi might have an ambush.
As a woman who is a fisherman, seeing such a big bait passing by, the air force is not her principle.
If you want to know your opponent's intentions, relying solely on spies is too passive.
The Liangzhou Army went on a long expedition, and more importantly, his Alang was still on the other side. General Guan must be responsible for their safety.
It might be a good idea to alert the enemy.
"General Yang."
"The end will be here."
Yang Wanwan responded loudly and stood up.
"I will give you three thousand fine cavalry, one person and two, to catch up with Guo Huai, hang him up, and wait for the opportunity to attack. We will never let him retreat to the south safely."
"promise!"
"Remember, don't be greedy for credit. If you see the opportunity, go ahead. If there is no chance, just follow him from a distance and hold him back!"
General Guan stared at him and said in a very serious tone, "An army of thieves may appear ahead at any time. If something goes wrong, turn around and leave immediately."
Yang Wanwan nodded, cupped his fists and said:
"The general understands that the general wants to lead the cavalry to harass the thieves and make them restless."
General Guan nodded with satisfaction.
With the elite of the Liangzhou Army, she did not need to have outstanding generals, but she had to strictly follow military orders.
Just like a certain Erha, even if it jumps again, it doesn't dare to disobey any military orders...
General Guan's eyes fell on Zhao Guang.
Zhao Guang immediately cheered up and puffed up his chest.
Sure enough, General Guan continued to give instructions:
"General Zhao."
"The general is here!"
Zhao Guangda was overjoyed and responded loudly.
"You lead the armored battalion and follow General Yang for ten miles. You must not cross the front. Unless General Yang is in danger, you must not attack without authorization."
General Guan stared at him sternly: "Remember my words, if you don't obey a word, you will be punished by military law!"
Other places are unreliable, but in terms of leading the team, Zhao Guang has never disappointed anyone.
He said quickly:
"I will finally understand!"
He was the one who personally conducted the sand table deduction with General Guan, so he naturally knew the possible traps in the south, so he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"You two go down and prepare immediately, and set off when you're ready."
"promise!"
The Liangzhou Army, which had rested and regained its strength, rose up from camp with six thousand cavalry troops, thrust diagonally into the southwest, and rumbled away.
When he learned that General Guan had sent out all his main forces, leaving less than 4,000 men to guard Xia Yang City, Governor Feng of Hedong was so frightened that he trembled on the spot.
"You know that Sima Yi may be cheating, but you still do this. Why are you so aggressive!"
he murmured.
Governor Feng was shocked by General Guan's actions, and Guo Huai was even more surprised.
Guo Huai knew that he might be traced by thieves, but he never thought that he would already fall into the hands of General Guan just after he got off Qiaoshan.
Because he had some psychological shadow towards Feng Thief, Guo Huai was in a hurry when he evacuated Qiaoshan.
So when he came down from Qiaoshan, Guo Huai had to rest for a day in Suyi to prepare his camp.
After all, thieves might appear from behind at any time during the rest of the journey.
Based on Guo Huai's understanding of Feng Thief, he believed that Feng Thief would always appear in places where he shouldn't be at certain moments.
But he didn't expect that the thief would come so quickly. As soon as he crossed Baishui, the thief was already chasing him along the Heshui, the next tributary of Luoshui.
When he led the army across the Heshui River, spies urgently reported:
"General, a large number of Shu captive scouts were found ten miles east!"
Guo Huai's heart suddenly "thumped".
Where there are a large number of scouts, it means there is a large army.
I knew that Thief Feng would always appear in places he shouldn't!
"Why are the Shu captives there? How come they came so fast?"
