Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chapter 71 When General Wang Hua heard the news, he almost jumped up in surprise.  In fact, this is a helpless tactic, and there is no hope of defeating so many people.  Wang Hua and Zhu Tong discussed this tactic repeatedly at the beginning. Wang Hua often looks for the strengths and weaknesses of others and avoids their strengths to overcome their weaknesses.  But this situation can also be exploited by others, especially opponents like Mo Chu.  The people of Yinxia and other prefectures will definitely be repatriated.  The first is because of spring planting, and the second is because of summer harvest. There is no harvest in these two states, and the losses will be irreparable.  Not only because of money, Guan Jian will continue to blockade the eight states once they see the food shortage in the eight states as the blood camp becomes stronger in the future.  Moreover, after this war, the management area will be larger, and the people under the jurisdiction will have more people to eat. If it continues like last year, it will obviously not work.  But the time couldn¡¯t be staggered. Wanting to avoid this period of time, Mo Chu took the people captive and ran away.  Once the war starts, Mo Chu will not be able to let go of this weakness.  Moreover, Wang Hua's own weakness is his pity for the people.  Therefore, some cold-bloodedness must be shown in this battle, otherwise once this example is opened, others will continue to do so in the future.  Even the imperial court would use the common people to deal with him.  So we have the people¡¯s first mill.  But relying on the people was not enough, so the idea of ??taking prisoners was proposed.  If you attack a city, if you shine on the city, the enemy will be pushed back.  You might even be confused and sip silently.  Or take the opportunity to leave the city, and use the critical time to scare Xia Yin or Yanzhou from suffering greater losses.  But they never thought that Feng Changqing and Wu Keli would actually use prisoners to fight.  "Don't say there are many people, look at how many men Zong Chuke has, and then think about how defeated they are.  Are there not many people?  After hearing the news, Wang Hua thought about it carefully and found it incredible at first.  After thinking about it for a while, I finally understood.  There is an inevitable reason for this situation. Of course, after two days of raids, the Turks did not achieve their expected goals. Instead, they suffered heavy losses. They were very angry and angry, so they were eager to fight.  It just so happened that the Blood Camp was leaving the city, which was probably in line with their original goal of forcing the Blood Camp out of the city to fight.  But I didn't expect so many soldiers to show up.  At that time, I wanted to retreat, or voluntarily withdraw from the camp, mount my war horse and look for a fighter, but it was too late.  Underestimating the enemy and causing some fatigue among the soldiers due to going out to hunt grass in the valley, Feng Changqing and Wu Keli finally succeeded.  The consequence of this battle was a serious attrition of troops in Mo Chuo's hands, although the real blood battalion soldiers also lost more than 5,000 soldiers in these two battles.  But the balance of military strength began to tip towards the Blood Camp.  But Wang Hua was thinking about a question: Why did he suffer heavy losses every time he fought against the Turks?  In this battle, many soldiers of the Blood Camp lost many people. If prisoners are included, the losses were actually more serious than those of the Turks.  And the consequences of this battle are not all good.  So the plans need to change.  The original plan was to wear down part of the Turkic forces, and there was still time to delay. After 20,000 troops were mobilized from Jishi Mountain to go north, even more could be mobilized, although the Tibetans had to defend.  But on the other hand, because Guo Yuanzhen attacked Dafeichuan, the Tibetan people had to focus on Dafeichuan. As a result, Jishi Mountain was very safe.  ??Also, Xia Yinzhou is not Wang Hua's focus, otherwise it would be impossible to send only 10,000 blood battalion soldiers to garrison.  The real strength of more than 20,000 troops is stationed in the two states of Yanling, and that is Wang Hua's main attack direction.  However, because of this battle, Mochuo lost a large number of soldiers, and the number of troops left in Henan was only more than 30,000, forcing Mochui to focus his troops on this twist in advance.  The pressure he faced immediately increased.  Thinking of this, Wang Hua immediately issued an urgent order and asked Kong Heizi to lead an army of 10,000 to support Fengzhou.  However, he repeatedly told Kong Heizi to control the rhythm, and he still had one good move to make in Fengzhou.  But the ship arrived at Fengzhou first.  Wang Hua did not have the ability to measure how deep this section of the Yellow River was, but he estimated that the original navigable tonnage could pass ships of more than ten tons.  However, for safety reasons, he built a group of ships, about ten tons, hundreds of ships in total.  These ships have a common feature. There are long wooden baffles on both sides. There is a gap between the wooden baffles and the ship's side, which is reserved for oars and steering.  These baffles are used to shield bows and arrows from both sides of the bank.  It's a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise the baffle will be built taller and a roof will be placed on it, and a ship will become a mobile fortress on the water.  The first batch of supplies arrived in Fengzhou.  Mainly weapons, and a small amount of food. The tens of thousands of people in Fengzhou also have food in their hands. Although it is not much, it is enough to last this period of time.  But the most troublesome thing is that some food is unstable.?In the tribe.  There are also some daily necessities, some herbs, and cloth.  But Wang Hua showed great magnanimity this time. Regardless of the attitude of these tribes, he would distribute it fairly.  This once again aroused dissatisfaction among some tribes. They jointly sent some people to find Wang Hua and asked Wang Hua why he did this?  Wang Hua smiled bitterly and replied: "Be polite first and then be a soldier. Have you ever heard of it? I told you that I want to give you an explanation. Can you wait a little longer?" If I had known this, I would not have recruited militiamen.  Anyway, the troops have been drawn out.  Sora caused a lot of trouble.  There are also some soldiers.  But in order to implement the arranged plan, these people entered Fengzhou City dressed as civilian husbands, a total of two thousand soldiers, and did not attract anyone's attention.  After the soldiers landed, the fifty ships continued down the river, but this time they began to suffer serious losses.  As expected, Mochu concentrated his main force to the north. The encounter between Yanzhou City and Triangle City surprised Mochu, and then he became furious.  But then he calmed down and called Tun Yugu over.  After hearing this, Dun Yugu frowned and said, "The crime that is not a war is that we were not prepared." Mo Chui walked around in the tent, and he suddenly asked: "Prime Minister, we suddenly  Will it be useful to kill a carbine? " "Great Khan, we missed the opportunity. This time we underestimated the enemy. If we had added another 10,000 troops, we would have suffered heavy losses, but Triangle City and Xiazhou might have been defeated.  Next time, the situation is not as severe as it is now. " Dong Yugu is right, but if there are more than 40,000 troops hoarded outside the Great Wall, Feng Changqing will not make this decision.  If fighting is not possible, is it still dangerous to defend the city?  It's just that more people will be killed by the Turks outside the city.  "However, we have an idea. We can use that chess piece." "What chess piece?" "Those Thousand Blood Battalion soldiers. In front of them, we can move the army to the south again, but divide it into two parts, one  The main force is a small force, marching towards Yanxia, ??but the majority is heading towards Yanzhou and Lingzhou." "Good idea," Mo Chu thought for a while and said.  Seeing the deployment of this army, and deliberately giving some negligence to the soldiers of the Thousand Blood Camp and the people, they will send the letter to Wang Hua.  Wang Hua thought that he was building a plank road in the open and crossing Chencang secretly.  In fact, the plank road is also a fake repair, and Chencang is also a fake holiday.  After these armies turned south, they all withdrew from the distance.  As soon as he heard the news, Wang Hua would definitely put his main force in Yanzhou and not dare to move.  I also achieved the effect.  In fact, the Yellow River is the focus of Mochu. All three surrendered cities must be captured. Only by capturing them can we advance to attack and retreat to defend.  Being trapped in Liuhu Prefecture, this part of Henan, has always been an unsafe area.  "After allocating the troops, the war is about to begin. The Great Khan might as well use these thousand blood battalion soldiers to sacrifice the flag to dampen the opponent's arrogance and boost morale." "Just follow the Prime Minister's advice." After much discussion, An Jie  Wu Yixing finally walked out of several small cities in Liuhu Prefecture, and not far ahead was the Yellow River.  After walking eastward for two days again, they came to a plain. There were many tribes on the plain, which were captured by Mo Chui one after another and did not have time to move to Hebei.  But An Jiewu discovered in the past few days that the Turkic soldiers guarding them had made a change, and he intuitively felt that these Turkic soldiers looked at them strangely.  This always made him feel uneasy.  On the afternoon of this day, he saw many troops rolling southward from both sides of the river. The soldiers on the east side were slightly smaller, but An Jiewu still judged that they were heading towards Xia Yin.  There were more people on the west side, but they were heading towards the Salt Spirit.  Being trapped in the Gobi Desert and grasslands these days, An Jiewu had no idea about the external situation, but it was estimated that the war had already begun.  There are about 30,000 people in these two armies. What are they doing going south?  And it was so asymmetrical. There were only 10,000 people coming along the way, but nearly 20,000 people came along the way.  Could it be that they are attacking Xia Yinzhou in detail and Yanzhou and Lingzhou secretly?  Yanzhou is a little better. If these Turks are allowed to capture Lingzhou, the consequences will be very serious.  "I don't know the external situation of An Jiewu, but I know one thing. Because of the perverted Turks' plundering, the Blood Camp lost its source of information on Liuhu Prefecture.  If this news is sent to the blood camp, it may be a great achievement.  He also needs to inform the blood camp about his whereabouts.  Called some confidants over and had some brief discussions.  I don¡¯t know the situation outside, but I learned through chatting that some tribes have been trapped here for ten days, but they have never been taken away by the Turks.  This made An Jiewu judge that he would not move away.??But Hebei let Blood Camp take it.  The Turks had no way to transfer these people out.  Therefore, looking at everyone and asking: "Who knows water?" A few people raised their hands, An Jiewu picked a clever captain and asked him to find a way to sneak to the Yellow River, swim across, and report to Fengzhou  , or you can go to Zhongshoujiang City.  It was not easy. Although it was very close to the Yellow River, it had to avoid a large number of Turkic patrols along the way. It also had to be fast. The news had to be sent to Wang Hua before the Turks took action.  The captain nodded.  It may be that because many troops were transferred away, the patrols along the way began to relax.  Under the cover of darkness, the captain came to the edge of the Yellow River safely and swam across it.  They know the general range, but the specific range is now An Jiewu's thousand men, no one can know their location.  After swimming over, it turned out to be Zhongshoujiang City.  Seeing a man swimming over, the soldiers on guard at the top of the city almost shot him to death with arrows.  Fortunately, he was smart enough to see the flag on the city and shouted: "Brothers on the city, I am a brother of the Yuheng Army." He was lucky enough to escape.  The soldiers brought him to Lun Gongren, and the captain explained the situation.  Only Lun Gongren in this bloody camp knew about Wang Hua's plan.  And he also knows the current situation.  After hearing this, he felt very puzzled. Logically speaking, Mo Chui suffered a big loss this time and should shift his focus to the Yellow River.  Do you want to fight back?  He didn¡¯t have a clue and didn¡¯t dare to neglect. He immediately sent a team of soldiers to escort the captain to Fengzhou City.  It would be impossible without an escort, because Wang Hua's plan, although occupying two surrendered cities, still moved the space outside the city for Moju to gallop.  Arriving at Fengzhou, Wang Hua was making the final arrangements. After so many days of secret observation and interrogation, he had a score in his mind about the tribes that actually surrendered to the Turks.  Therefore, some arrangements were made. First, some of the victims of the victimized tribes were called together and a secret meeting was held.  Then he called all the ministries together again and looked at the chiefs. Wang Hua said sternly: "I want to make it clear again that I can help you live a good life. Whether you live a good life or not, the situation of the people in the eight states, you, as clan leaders and chiefs,  , I should have heard of it. This is just now. After this battle, their lives will be better in the autumn. But this happiness, I can only help you, but it depends on you. For example, I have arranged the plan, but I need you.  Only through hard work can life become better day by day. For another example, when we are invaded by foreign forces, I only arrange tactics and provide armor training, but fighting requires your people to work hard in order for your families, wives, parents and children to be safe.  Fengzhou City, I have been delayed for many days and tried to persuade, but now only some people have sent their people to participate in the defense of Fengzhou. Therefore, I have to make a decision now.  . Provide shelter to the tribes who do not participate. I don¡¯t mind sending you back to the south bank of the Yellow River. Let me tell you, I don¡¯t owe you any favors.¡± After saying this, he sat aside coldly and handed it over to Jiang Zhengdao.  Jiang Zhengdao took out a roster, which stated the current number of people of each ethnic group and the number of young and middle-aged people. Then he asked someone to take out a blackboard and write the roster on the blackboard again with chalk.  He said: "How many soldiers can you produce? Fill it in below. If you don't know the words, I will ask the brothers to read it to you." Soft ones are not enough, so I have to use hard ones.  ¡°But this scene is a big, big smokescreen.  Wang Hua was very satisfied with the result. Even the tribes that had previously been ambiguous with the Turks changed their attitudes and sent a large number of young men as militiamen to assist Wang Hua in preventing the Fengzhou War.  At this time, the captain came to Fengzhou.  Wang Hua was surprised after hearing the captain's report. He transferred troops to Xia and Yin Prefectures. Wang Hua knew that Mo Chui was playing tricks.  Wang Hua was not wary of the troops transferred to Yanzhou.  But he was afraid that Mochu would continue southward along the Yellow River and head towards Lingzhou City.  In the three states of Yanyinxia, ??Wang Hua'an sent a large number of prisoners.  But Lingzhou didn't dare. This was the core area of ????Wang Hua, and some prisoners also understood this truth.  They can't make big waves in Yanxiayinzhou, but if they rebel in Lingzhou, they can overturn the entire blood camp at critical times.  Therefore, Lingzhou does not have a large number of prisoners as cannon fodder.  Now that Kong Heizi¡¯s 10,000 troops have been mobilized, Lingzhou¡¯s defense is somewhat empty.  Did Mochu see through this?  It is not impossible that he and the two wise ministers can judge his own movements just by relying on some of the arrangements he made in Minwu. Maybe he can really see his own weakness.  It¡¯s not that Lingzhou doesn¡¯t have troops. From Yanzhou to LingzhouThere are still more than 10,000 soldiers left, but they cannot all be mobilized.  The reason why the prisoners achieved this result this time, apart from giving them the motivation to go home and get a big reward, was mainly due to the fact that the Blood Camp soldiers took the lead in the process.  This necessitated the separation of some blood camp soldiers, and without the supervision of the blood camp soldiers, Wang Hua doubted whether they would turn their guns around and cause trouble in the rear.  Therefore, not only must they be divided, but they must also occupy a certain proportion and remain there until the end of the war.  This is also a helpless move.  Unlike others, Mochuo is an old fox. If he doesn't care about his rear, he won't mind counterattacking southward when he gets to Guanjian, just like now. He just needs to go back and forth along the Nanhetao, while his own army is following the perimeter.  in a big circle.  By then, our own army will be exhausted.  In fact, in this way, only a few thousand troops can really be used, which will be used to get rid of the Yue Da Formation and give themselves a foothold in Nanhetao.  Unless the southern army comes back, but if the southern army comes back, tens of thousands of Turkic reinforcements will also arrive at Yinshan.  It is obviously impossible to let Kong Heizi's army go back.  There will be another battle in Fengzhou soon, and the troops will be further depleted. If the Turkic army of 30,000 goes south, this small force of his own will not be able to stop it.  This is just Mo Chu's arrangement in advance. The current situation is very entangled for him, and it is also not good for Mo Chu.  There may be more than 30,000 people.  Don¡¯t forget, silently rules a country.  A big defeat in this battle would have very bad consequences. Rather than a big defeat, it would be better to win miserably and at least have an explanation to the people.  Wang Hua rubbed his head. Fighting with such a person gave him a headache.  The only good news is that these 1,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 ethnic minorities are still safe.  If there is a mistake, it is purely your own responsibility. This is sending them into the tiger's mouth.  But he was very concerned about the other person. Li Xuejun had been gone for a few days, but he had not heard any news about him until now.  This worried him greatly.  Although he believed in Li Xuejun's personal force.  But personal force is personal force, and she is facing an army of tens of thousands.  Throughout history, the greatest disparity between the enemy and the enemy is recorded in Liu Yu's battle against a thousand, and Nurhaci's four against eight hundred.  This is quite remarkable in history.  Just like Wang Hua himself, he is sure to defeat a hundred regular soldiers alone, and it is still a narrow victory.  If there were a hundred strong soldiers, Wang Hua would be more likely to have bad luck than good.  If you exceed this number, run away quickly.  The battle in the palace was not about repelling, but about escaping, with assistance from Li Xuejun and the others. It was of a different nature.  "If Li Xuejun is really discovered by the Turks, unless he goes to a place with mountains and forests, if he is in the endless Gobi Desert and grasslands, it will probably be extremely dangerous.  This made him very worried.  At this time, a fast horse came in from outside to report the news from the south.  An accident occurred when Guo Yuanzhen attacked Dafeichuan.  Seeing Wang Hua's momentum, he was very jealous, but when it was his turn, he was blocked by Tuyuhun's bravery in Dafeichuan.  Although they won every victory, the losses were very heavy.  Therefore, he asked Wang Hua to borrow his general.  Borrowed Xiao Song and brother Shu Han.  A layman can't tell, but Lao Guo can tell at a glance Xiao Song's overall planning ability, coupled with Ge Shuhan's bravery and skill in fighting, and his experience in fighting the Tubo people many times, especially Ge Shuhan's reputation in the hearts of the Tubo people.  The bad name also had a bad name in Tuyuhun's heart.  If these two generals can help him, it will be even more powerful.  Wang Hua couldn't help but cursed after hearing this: "I don't have enough generals now, how about lending him a general? Go, say something, no loan." Just as the soldier was about to leave, Wang Hua suddenly thought of the battle between Xia Yin and Erzhou.  , others did not know, but Wang Hua knew that this opportunity was not seized by Wu Keli, but seen by Feng Changqing of Xiazhou City, but out of respect for his seniors, Feng Changqing did not mention it in the battle report.  This reminded him of a person, so he said: "It's okay to borrow a general, but I want to ask him for a person."
