Your Majesty will suffer

Zhang Fang just arrived in Beijing last night, and now his face is still dusty.After the visit, Yue Ling directly asked about his strategy, but he didn't want to answer, but it was the same as what Du, Xia and others said!Yue Ling felt strange in his heart, since that was the case, why did he go all the way to Beijing day and night?Is it to invite credit?However, he should know that Du Yunzhi's memorial has also been submitted!In other words, if he left his post without authorization, even if he made meritorious contributions, the merits would not be worth the crime.Then he said according to the facts: "Du Yunzhi has already mentioned this plan, and there is nothing new in it!"

Zhang Fang didn't seem to be surprised when he heard the words, but he bowed again: "I came to see you today, the first thing is to relay the discussion between Duke Du and the generals of Xiguan!"

Yue Ling pondered for a while, and said: "So, Du Yunzhi taught you this time? No wonder, he did recommend you to go to Hebei!"

Zhang Fang knew that this was really a test, but he did not rush, and replied: "The minister is not here to follow orders, but he feels that this plan should be presented before someone, otherwise there will be objections from the court! The so-called soldiers are precious and fast, Now that Fengzhou has fallen, Fuzhou and Linzhou are in danger, and the situation cannot be delayed, I beg Your Majesty to make a quick decision to send troops to the north!"

When Yue Ling heard the words, he knew it in his heart: Du Yunzhi was very scheming, and he had already expected that it would be difficult to impress Tianxin with just words of war, so he prepared the next move!And this release is willing to be driven by it.

Since he came prepared, he had already prepared a draft, and Yue Ling still had a few questions in his mind, so he taught him to explain his doubts one by one.

First, the Liang army plans to divide its troops into two groups this time, marching east to Xiazhou and westward to Liangzhou. How do you know that Qiang Jie was not prepared?

The answer is that Tuoba Wen led 4 troops to attack Hebei this time, and most of the [-] troops have lost most of their elites. However, Tuoba Wen has won several victories in the past, and he is already arrogant. At this moment, except for the capital Xingqing, there are still thousands of elite soldiers left. Guarding, the remaining less than [-] horses are stationed in various military divisions at the northern end, and the southwest border is already empty!Because it is the current Northern Expedition, it is the right time.

Yue Ling hesitated and said, "Last time when we defeated Liangzhou, how could we not repeat the same mistakes this time?"

Zhang Fangdao: "We still need to use the power of Tubo and Huihe to contain the troops of Qisha, Gansu and Su in the west!"

Yueling shook his head: "Gujier! Tubo and Huihe are all seeking profit, and people are not in harmony, how can they rely on it?"

Zhang Fang argued: "Tubo Zanpu Wulingdinan is committed to surrender, but his subordinate ministers are always fighting, but in the end it is only driven by profit, it is not unreasonable! Please give me a generous reward, and allow him to capture the city. The property in the city is allowed to be seized by him, but it is enough not to destroy the city and hurt people. Fanbu soldiers are brave, and once they are pointed out, they will be invincible!"

Yue Ling pondered for a while, but asked the third question: "It will take time to go north, how can we protect the Fu and the two prefectures of Lin here?" This is the key. Lin Erzhou is in a dangerous place, it is really a bait to lure the enemy!In case Tuobawen broke the boat, disregarded the urgent situation in the country, and a [-] army marched southward at one go, the entire East River Road would be in danger!

Zhang Fangdao: "Tuobawen is currently besieging Fuzhou and not attacking it. He has no plan to destroy the city! Therefore, as long as we can get food and grass in time, Fuzhou and Linzhou will be safe!"

Yue Ling sneered: "Everyone knows about this, but Tuoba Wen set up a stronghold on the way to prevent my food and grass from going north, do you have a plan to deal with it?"

The expected hesitation was not seen, but the man didn't seem to care about it: "What's the difficulty? Since he set up an obstacle, I'll get through it!"

Yue Ling snorted, "If it's that easy, you still have to delay until now, seeing the danger and not being able to save it?"

The man bowed deeply: "This is the inaction of the soldiers in charge of Hebei! I have come here, please transfer to Hebei, and I am willing to lead the soldiers to break through and save the two prefectures!"

It was getting dusk, and in the Nangong Mansion, a person walked back and forth alone in the house for countless times, and seemed to be in a state of anxiety: Zhang Fang committed a dangerous crime and entered admonishment, I wonder if he can persuade Tianxin?If the request is not successful, he will be punished, and his reputation may be wiped out by then!It's a pity that Nan Gongji, who is a confidant, can be troubled by him, but it's just a pity that this talent in literature and martial arts cannot be used by the country!

At exactly the right time, Zhang Fang finally came back. When he saw Nangong Ji, he smiled and said, "Zhang has received the grace of heaven today, and he also fought back with the Confucian scholars like the ancients. I am very happy!"

It turned out that in today's palace, Yue Ling summoned the important officials of the two governments to re-discuss this plan, and Zhang Fang fought hard in front of everyone!

Nan Gongji hurriedly said: "Is there any request for you?"

Zhang Fangdao: "The strategy of the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou and Xiazhou is still under consideration, but I have been given the position of Duqian jurisdiction on behalf of me, in charge of the military and horse affairs of the Goulin Mansion!"

Nangongji was startled and said: "The jurisdiction of Duqian is a military post! Brother Zhang is a civil servant, how can he take on it?"

The reason why he sighed this was because Daliang had always valued literature and suppressed martial arts, and military generals would not be able to ascend to high positions even if they took credit. Therefore, if Zhang Fang accepts this position, his future will be exhausted!

I didn't want that person to laugh, "I always thought that Brother Nangong's knowledge is different from ordinary people, but today he wants to teach me to look at you differently? If you enter an official position just for your own future, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the king's expectations and the hearts of the people? Let's talk about it Abandoning duty without authorization is still a crime, and it is a good thing that the superiors promised to take the crime and make meritorious service!"

Nangong Ji sighed: "Brother Zhang doesn't count gains or losses, it's really a feat to stand up and serve the country!"

Early the next morning, Zhang Fang set off for his post.Nangongji sent her to the outside of the city, full of sorrow, but only the word "precious".Seeing one of them riding Juechen and leaving in a chic way, there is only a person who is full of emotion and sees him off.The practice banquet last night has already been agreed, and when he returns to the court after his success, I will still be here to welcome him!I hope that the sky will fulfill the wishes of the people, and that day will not be too far away.

In the first month of the sixth year of Jingsheng, Liang Ting adopted Du Yunzhi's remonstrance and sent 20 troops from the east and west to attack Liangzhou and Xiazhou. Su Sanzhou.Qiang Jie was really defenseless, and the strength of the army was very different. When they met for the first time, they were almost defeated at the first touch, so they had to retreat to the city, waiting for reinforcements to come.

In fact, at this moment, Tuobawen in Hebei has received an emergency report, but the distant water cannot save the near fire. Even Xiazhou, which is the closest to him at this moment, is hundreds of miles away, not to mention that the army will be exhausted after the long-distance attack, and there will be no shortage of horses and horses. There is no chance of winning, even food and grass cannot be provided!When he first invaded Hebei, he made a long-term plan to supply food, grass, military supplies and other supplies for the [-] troops. They should be transported to the pass villages around Fengzhou for hoarding.There is a saying in the art of war, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first!This time the Liang army must have been prepared to go north, but if the Qiang and Jie reinforcements did not have sufficient food and grass to back them up, it would be dangerous!

After some consideration, Tuoba Wen decided to do the opposite, instead of rescuing the difficulties on the western front, he only wanted to fight Hebei!So I dare to make this argument because the Han people were timid and defeated in the previous battles. Their fighting spirit was gone early, and the 20 army came to attack. However, after more than a month, the five cities of Sha, Gan, Su, Liang, and Xia were all returned. It's intact, so it can be seen: why should Han'er be afraid?Thinking about it again, this is really just a trick of the Liang people to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. If they send troops to force him to return to the army, then the difficulties in Hebei will be solved by themselves!In this way, we might as well repeat this plan in return: Fuzhou has been trapped for two months now, and the food and grass in the city will be exhausted, so if we don't attack the city now, when will we wait?After leaving Fuzhou and Linzhou, his army of Qiang and Jie will drive straight down without stopping, pointing directly at Hedong, and then towards Henan. At that time, the soldiers will come to the city of Bianliang. See if he is still a child of Emperor Liang?I'm afraid I can kneel down and beg for peace!

It's a pity that this time, things are not as easy as Tuoba Wen thought!

Just before he ordered to re-siege the city, Liang Jun's first batch of food and grass had been sent to Fuzhou.And it is said that the number of people escorted by Liang Jun's food and grass was no more than three thousand!

How could Tuoba Wen swallow this bad breath?However, Fuzhou has already received aid, and the opportunity to attack the city has been missed. Thinking about it, the best strategy now is to attack Linzhou!

It's a pity that this time, he was one step slower!On the day after the siege, I received an urgent report from Fengzhou that Liulibao, an important military supply center, was slaughtered, and all the food, grass and military equipment in it were lost!

Even so, Tuoba Wen was still not reconciled to being defeated!The weather here is bad, and it hasn't rained for more than 20 days. Linzhou city is short of water. According to the report of the spies, the gold in the city is worth a glass of water at this moment. Isn't it a godsend?Therefore, he desperately attacked the city with all his strength.

Liang Jun's countermeasure is to call up the elite soldiers that can be used on Hebei Road to rescue, and Zhang Fang, the governor of Bingdai Duqian, will personally lead the army!This is exactly what Tuoba Wen wanted!But in the middle of the way, heavy troops set up an ambush, trying to destroy it in one fell swoop.Unexpectedly, Liang Jun's bravery was invincible this time, he fought off the ambush all the way, and arrived in Linzhou within three days.If Tuoba Wen wants to destroy the city again, how easy is it?

As far as Tuoba Wen is concerned, there are only two remaining strategies at the moment, one is to continue to attack the city, but there is insufficient food and grass; the other is to retreat, but he is unwilling!This time going south, tens of thousands of soldiers were lost, but no profit was gained, and food and grass were even taken!But at this moment, Liang Jun is attacking the city on his land of Qiang Jie, pushing forward step by step!If he retreats from this side, the urgent need to save the country cannot be delayed!Otherwise, the situation is in danger!

After all, Tuoba Wen has been on the battlefield for a long time and has always been decisive. Food and grass are not enough, and he can't attack the city. The so-called gains and losses are not overnight.Therefore, they withdrew their troops and returned to the country immediately, and sent 3 people to help Xiazhou.

Besides, in the west, the battle situation in Liangzhou was not optimistic for Tuoba Wen: under close combat, although the siege of the city was not smooth, the Liang army had no intention of retreating at all!

It was only then that Tuoba Wen realized that something was wrong, and urgently ordered the Heihe Army Division to draw half of its troops to help, but it was too late. One month later, Shazhou was captured by the Huihe Army, and then Gansu, Liangzhou and Liangzhou fell one after another!

In June, Qiang Jie's right arm of Hexi was almost lost!

Since Liang Jun no longer had to worry about the future, his morale was greatly increased, and he took advantage of the momentum to advance eastward.

In August, the Liang army passed Shatuo, captured Yingli unexpectedly and easily, and pointed at the last barrier in front of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Wei: Xiping Mansion!And after three months of hard fighting, East Road Xiazhou finally fell.At this moment, if the Xiping Mansion loses again, the power of Qiang and Jie will be gone.

The situation is critical!Tuoba Wen urgently recruited [-] troops to aid the Xiping Mansion with the strength of the whole country; on the other hand, he proclaimed himself a vassal of Jin State, and asked to send troops to restrain the Liang Dynasty on the condition of accepting the contribution of land.
