sweeping the world

Chapter 398 Coincidence
The season is about to enter winter, and most of the areas in the north are snowy areas, the difference is that it rains more and less.

Of course, it will snow in Jibei County, and the surrounding counties are basically the same. According to estimates, in the past half a month, there should be snow and rain at intervals, or rain and snow together, and even hail in some areas.

If there is no mistake in the estimation, the fighter plane is actually only half a month, and when the snow and rain really come together, it should stop fighting anyway.

"In half a month, the strategic goal is to capture Puyang and occupy Wenshijin and Yanjin." Although Yuan Qiao is the commander of the army, he actually wears armor. Otherwise, everyone is in military uniform.He held the hilt of the sword at his waist in one hand, and pointed at the map with the other finger: "There are no extensive mountains near Linqiu, and the terrain is all flat. We will attack from Hanting and Fan County together. The soldiers of Hanting can cut directly at the Lin Yangjiao City, between Qiu and Juancheng, cut off the connection between Linqiu and Juancheng. The troops from Fan County will attack Linqiu fiercely, and must capture the city within five days."

Xu Zheng stayed at the main seat, quietly listening to Yuan Qiao making arrangements.

The military tent was crowded with officers above the rank of captain, and they were also listening attentively.

Liu Yan had already left the camp, but he did not go directly south to Yuzhou. He went to Lu County, first to Pengcheng, and then to Yuzhou.The [-] Imperial Guards he promised have been assigned to the Yanzhou front, and will be transferred to the Jizhou battlefield during the winter armistice.

"Wenshijin and Yanjin, including Jijin on the other side of the river, the spies reported that no less than 240 enemy troops could be gathered." Yuan Qiao moved to the sand table next to him, picked up a wooden stick and pointed at the sand table, and said: "The distance between Linqiu and Wenshijin There are more than [-] miles. Calculated by the speed of cavalry reinforcements, it can be reached in one day at the earliest, but it is expected that the enemy generals who are familiar with cavalry warfare will not do such stupid things. To maintain combat effectiveness, it is possible for the enemy to come to rescue in two days. And counting, after Hanting's soldiers captured Yangjiao City, they should defend themselves first, and wait for the troops from Linqiu to join them."

Yangjiao City is actually quite famous. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, it has been a place where people gathered and inhabited. It was originally owned by the State of Wei.The surnames of Huaxia are basically derived from the place names. First there are fiefdoms and surnames, and then the people living in the localities use the place names as surnames. History of development.

Today's Yangjiao City has no residents. The repeated construction was built when the Han army entered Dongping County. In order to serve the army and the Han army's conquest, Shijie Zhao Guo repaired the original ruins and established a military fortress. It's not for stationing troops, but for hoarding food, fodder and supplies.

The Han army in Hanting and Fan County is between the frontier army and the garrison army in nature. According to the classification of the Han army, it does not belong to the field corps. In order to achieve the goal, Yuan Qiao also does not let the enemy notice. In the past, the soldiers were gradually replaced by the nature of defense.Currently there are [-] Han troops in Hanting and [-] in Fan County.

Before the battle, let the commanders and generals know the combat deployment, so that the commanders can have a more intuitive understanding, understand what they should do, and at the same time know the general trend.Some important strategic deployments are naturally only known to senior military officers, but they should explain what kind of goals they want to achieve, and even what kind of changes they encounter must have previous deployments. After all, there is no means of radio communication now, even There are semaphores to communicate remotely and there are also delays.

"During the battle between Linqiu and Yangjiao City, you just focused on the battle situation here." Xu Zheng waited for Yuan Qiao to finish explaining before asking the general in the account: "Do you understand?"

There was really someone who didn't understand. They didn't pretend to understand. They immediately raised their own questions and Yuan Qiao answered them.

Waiting for everyone to understand, at least not in a completely dazed state, this group of people will leave and be replaced by a new group of people.

Each group is a general with its own combat objectives, and what they hear and ask is their own battle area. Xu Zheng needless to say, but Yuan Qiao just talked about it.

"What should be arranged has been arranged." Although Yuan Qiao was very thirsty, he still maintained the self-cultivation that a family member should have. It was very troublesome to drink bowl after bowl of water, instead of just picking up the kettle and pouring it directly. When drinking, he remembered to be good every time. Block.After drinking enough, he looked at Xu Zheng, the old god, and asked with some worry: "Did the king really leave?"

When Liu Yan came, he was very powerful, and when he pretended to leave, he was also very powerful. When he finally left, he appeared to be secretive. His arrival was a change in the situation. In fact, Xu Zheng and Yuan Qiao did not expect it in advance, and even Shijie and Zhao Jun may have been caught off guard.

"Your Majesty's [-] troops are still in the camp, and will stop for a while at the Snake Hill at the junction of Jibei County and Lu County." Xu Zheng knew what Yuan Qiao was worried about, and said carelessly: "My Majesty is A reasonable person will not embarrass his subordinates."

"It is indeed an honor to serve such a king." Yuan Qiao asked with half worry and half panic, "It's just that the king's guards stay here, beside you..."

"This general also mentioned these concerns. Your majesty said that as long as the front line is safe, there is no danger in being inside the border." Xu Zheng patted the desk while talking, and with a loud 'bang', he said boldly: "We Finish it quickly so that the escort army can return to the king as soon as possible."

Yuan Qiao subconsciously clenched her fists and nodded heavily, but she really felt a lot of emotion in her heart: [Perhaps it is because of this kind of tolerance that my king can establish such achievements in five years. 】

But on the side of Zhao Guo in Shijie, they really suspected that Liu Yan stayed in the Han army camp in Jibei County and did not leave.

That was a very coincidental thing, their spies were simply blind cats who met dead rats, stayed honestly in one place and pretended to be good people until they met those troops pretending to be the Imperial Guards, and they really saw the Imperial Guards How the spies marched, compared with each other, the real Guards marching at a consistent pace is something that no other army can learn.

Knowing that Liu Yan was on the front line, asking Shi Xuan not to do something was not what a prince of a great country should be like.

Being able to kill or besiege the king of the enemy country when the two armies are at war is really a great benefit to the national war. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, you must try it. If you have no opportunity, you should create an opportunity.

The king's personal expedition has always been something that requires caution and caution. It is true that personal expedition can boost the morale of the soldiers, but the consequences of failure are even more unpredictable.This is why few kings in history went to war in person, let alone went to the front lines of war.

Why did Yao Yizhong stare at the camp where Liu Yan was at that time? It was because Yao Yizhong knew that as long as Liu Yan was eliminated, the Qingzhou Rebellion would basically be over. That was the reason why he did not give up even though he knew there were risks. No Yao Yi Zhong is stupid.

It was basically no secret that Liu Yan went on patrol. When he first appeared in Jizhou, if it wasn't for the Zhangshui River and the Han fleet controlling the water system, Shi Bin would have jumped on it even if he paid a high price.

Yanzhou also has a water system, that is, the Yellow River blocks both banks, but not all of the Yellow River is under the control of the Han fleet. There is a bridge across the river in Yanjin, not just one bridge, but three bridges.

Shi Xuan, who was determined to have a hunt with the Han king, received the support of the generals accompanying him. Without saying a word, he began to mobilize troops to cross the Yellow River. In just five days, [-] Shijie Zhao troops entered Yanjin and Wenshijin.

Yanjin and Wenshijin are actually flat areas. There is no secret about the army, and they did not control the civilians along the way as usual. In the end, they wanted to report to the Han people.

According to Li Tu, a veteran general of Zhao State in Shijie, there is no need to cover up military intentions, on the contrary, Liu Yan should be informed.He concluded that Liu Yan, the founder of the country, was definitely not a coward. On the contrary, looking at Liu Yan's past deeds, I am afraid that Liu Yan would stay if he knew about it.

Perhaps Li Tu's guess was correct, none of the founding kings was a coward, otherwise it would be impossible to conquer such a great country, and Liu Yan really did not leave too far away, leaving the camp of the Han army in Jibei County and heading south for [-] miles to Gucheng He just stopped and didn't move.

Gucheng is [-] miles away from the camp of the Han army in Jibei, and less than [-] miles away from Linqiu. Judging from the distance, it is really not that far away. Even going to Snake Hill according to the original plan is actually more than [-] miles away. .

The Han army can judge this year's rain and snow weather according to the seasons of previous years, and the Shijie Zhao army will naturally not forget this. Those who have the same conclusion will use half a month to make a big one. Then use the subsequent weather conversion to consolidate the results, and even if you encounter a disadvantage, you can use the weather to not make the situation worse.

It is often said that the confrontation between the two armies is between temple calculations. It is about predicting the strength of the enemy and ourselves before the battle, predicting the terrain and weather, and guessing the course of the war to come up with countermeasures.

All calculations and preparations have been made, that is to take practical actions, Shi Xuan also took his Eastern Palace Guards across the river, rode on horses to the north bank of the Yellow River, and a messenger from the front reported that Sun Fudu was as planned Attacked again, but this time the Han army was different. The Han army from Hanting and Fan County attacked Linqiu in a big way, and the elite cavalry of the Han army went around Juancheng and rushed to Puyang.

"Puyang?" As the commander-in-chief of the army, Shi Xuan could not fail to recognize the terrain, and he had a thorough understanding of every important military town, so he immediately asked Li Tu next to him: "The Han army went straight to Puyang without capturing Linqiu and Juancheng. Is it as the general said, because of the arrival of Liu Yan, the enemy general changed his strategy?"

Li Tu was a veteran. He had served Shi Le for most of his life. He had made many military exploits against the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He also fought many times on the grasslands. He had left traces of his campaigns in both the north and the south.

"The intention of the Han army was so obvious from the beginning, which is exactly why our army should be cautious." Li Tu thought for a while and suggested: "Prince, we can move the army to Baima first and observe the situation closely before taking action. Decide.”

Shi Xuan thought about it. Whether it was Linqiu or Juancheng, that place was originally planned to be abandoned.
