Inside the cabin, a breeze blew. The warship continued to sail on the Yellow River.
Li Chongjiu was sitting in the command center, holding in his hands the copywriting that Zhang Xuansu, Ji Chuan, and Yu Shinan had worked hard for several months.
Before Zhao attacked, Zhao ministers made a detailed analysis of Li Shimin's military strategy. Li Shimin is indeed the first-class military master of this era. Although this man's military strategy cannot be said to be unparalleled in the world, there are not many people who can match him.
Coupled with the help of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who had Fang Duduan, as well as Changsun Wuji, the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion in history, Li Shimin's staff was also quite powerful. Therefore, how to deal with Li Shimin when using troops this time has also become a consideration for Zhao's staff. Relatively speaking, in this attack on Tang Dynasty, since the strategic initiative was in the hands of Zhao State, the situation was at a great advantage. Therefore, in the temple calculation, this has the upper hand.
Just like playing chess, Zhao Guo now takes the lead, and Li Tang is the second mover. However, this is not a great advantage for a duel. When the Shu Kingdom was exhausted, Zhuge Liang went out to Qishan seven times to attack the Wei Kingdom. He also used offense instead of defense. What decided the outcome of the war was the competition between the two countries' national strength. According to Zhang Xuansu's previous analysis, Zhao's biggest advantage over Li Tang is financial, human, and material resources. The only thing Li Tang can compete with Zhao is his military power.
As for various offensive strategies, it can be said that the top staff around Li Chongjiu have thought of them all. The same should be true for Li Shimin.
Since ancient times, no one can say that there is no strategy left behind, but for a huge staff group, this is feasible. Zhao Jun's various offensive strategies. Zhang Xuansu and the others racked their brains to think of almost all the various defenses of the Tang Army.
??In fact. There may be little to miss.
In the end, Zhang Xuansu came up with this plan for Li Chongjiu, which was an orthodox use of troops. A combat strategy that combines right and wrong.
At this time, Zhang Xuansu walked to Li Chongjiu and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the front that Wang Mahan has captured Gaoping County. This is good news!"
Li Chongjiu nodded and received the victory report. Zhang Xuansu continued: "As we expected, the Tang army did not deploy defenses in Gaoping County. It only had rural soldiers recruited by the county itself. They used bamboo bows and worn-out iron spears in battle. The soldiers There are less than three thousand horses, and they will be defeated in a single battle when they encounter the elite of our army."
Li Chongjiu put aside the victory report and said: "Zhang Qing, you said that Li Shimin wants to shrink his troops, abandon the periphery, fight us on the inside, and trade space for time, right?"
Zhang Xuansu said: "It is possible that Li Shimin was good at using troops to defend the wall, and then cut off people's food and grass, so he gave up the outside. It may be to lure our army to go deep. If our army deploys too many troops in the occupied counties, , then the power to attack from the front will be insufficient, and if we do not devote troops to defense, then the grain roads in the rear will be in danger."
Li Chongjiu clasped his hands and said: "That's right. Xue Rengao was defeated in Qianshuiyuan back then. We must learn from it. But now we have only captured Gaoping County of the Tang Army, so we can't make a judgment easily. I believe it won't take long. There is an answer. After Yuchi Gong's army leaves the Taihang Mountains, you can report it to me. As for other minor matters, there is no need to inform me. You can just make the decision."
"No!" Zhang Xuansu resigned.
After Li Chongjiu finalized military affairs. He stood up, but his staff in the room were still busy. Although these officials from the Ministry of War and the Zhongshu Province were not of high rank, their role in this war was crucial.
Li Chongjiu saw Li Ying sleeping next to the sand table. It is recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms that Deng Ai, a famous general of the Wei State, often drew pictures of military camps whenever he saw mountains and swamps, which made many people laugh.
It seems that both his son and Deng Ai are map masters. Think about Li Chongjiu's own childhood. Wasn't it the same? Just like some children like to play horseback riding and fighting, and some children, like himself when he was a child, like to pile up chess pieces to simulate two armies confronting each other. Array.
It¡¯s the same martial spirit flowing in a man¡¯s body, but the expressions are also different.
? Observe his youth and you will know his ambition. This sentence is not false at all.
Li Chongjiu picked up the sleeping Li Ying and returned to the second deck to have dinner with his family.
After a night of silence, the warship sailed upstream from the Yellow River. After three days of journey, we crossed from Liyang to Heyang and landed.
Li Chongjiu¡¯s main battleship arrived near Heyang City and slowly landed. In order to cooperate with this attack, Heyang guard Su Dingfang had already built a huge floating dock in Heyang City. Su Dingfang, the defender of Heyang City, had already led his troops to fight on the front line.
Therefore, the captain in Heyang City, Kai Cao joined the army, and the record office joined the army and came to the dock to greet him.
The warships of the Zhao army slowly entered the harbor, and the turbulent torrents of the Yellow River in June wereThe ground slapped both sides of the bank and the hull of the ship. But Li Chongjiu's huge five-toothed ship remained motionless amid the strong winds and high waves. Long slogans sounded, followed by countless majestic responses. Hundreds of naked trackers on the shore pulled Li Chongjiu's five-tooth ship upstream to the shore.
Among the revetments, Li Chongjiu boarded the bow of the ship. On the north side are the three cities of Heyang in Xiongguan of the Yellow River. In the center is the Heyang pontoon with an iron cable across the river. But across the river is Mengjin, and further south is the capital Luoyang. Heads of people were floating in the direction of Luoyang City, and tired horses came to the bank to drink water despite the rapids of the Yellow River.
The south bank was crowded with Zhao soldiers and soldiers.
Now the army is advancing continuously on the pontoon bridge. This is the army coming from Luoyang. The men and horses of Daxingtai on the south road bypassed the defense lines of Tongguan and Wuguan in the west, crossed the river from Heyang, and met Li Chongjiu in the north.
Li Chongjiu pointed to the densely packed Heyang Floating Bridge and the marching army and asked: "How many days have the troops from Daxingtai on Henan Road been here?"
Zhang Xuansu said: "In order to avoid prematurely alarming the Tang army stationed in Wuguan and Tongguan, we pretended to attack Wuguan and Tongguan. After His Majesty's fleet arrived in Heyang, the army then started from the front lines of Wuguan and Tongguan. Take down.¡±
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "That's good."
Ji Chuan said: "It is expected that within two days, all the troops and horses will be able to pass. There are three elite government troops led by Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, and Xue Wanche, as well as 10,000 auxiliary troops. Wang Bo and Meng Jiigong are left on the south bank to guard Luoyang."
Yu Shinan on the other side said: "Your Majesty, everything is in our plan. If Li Shimin knew that our 100,000 troops stationed in Luoyang would be transferred north, he would definitely transfer the troops stationed in Tongguan and Wuguan. In this way, the south of Chang'an would be empty. In this way, Song Jingang, Xiao Xian¡¯s South Route Army Corps will be more likely to succeed!¡±
Li Chongjiu asked: "Who is the vanguard of the southern army?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the great birthday of Tiger General Wang Xiong!"
After hearing this, Li Chongjiu praised: "This man is a tiger general in the world, enough to intimidate the Tang army in Hanzhong!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
