Chapter 204 Don't let you tell anyone
In fact, in this battle between Han and Zhao, Hanting was not inferior to Zhao Ting in terms of military strength in this battle between the Han and Zhao, and even better than Yuan Shao in terms of military strength than violent soldiers.
However, the violent soldiers have always been a double-edged sword. Once the grain cannot be supplied, tens of thousands of mouths that have not eaten will turn around and eat you. So it is precisely because of this that Jia Xu disbanded most of the Guanzhong thieves who had finally subdued them.
The reason why we did not go directly to Longmen to support the war in Hedong is also because of this. Is Hedong really lacking soldiers? What's the use of the military qualities of these thieves in Guanzhong who have sent them?
The way to detour to destroy the Huns is different. Just eat from the enemy. In this way, at least the food problem that has troubled Jia Xu for a long time will be solved.
Similarly, Zhong Yao, who was surrendered by Zhang Yan, was also in a rapid expansion of his troops. In fact, Zhong Yao himself could explode a large army of 100,000 at any time, but if he didn't slap Hanoi three feet high, he would never be able to support him.
Therefore, most of the Black Mountain bandits were actually temporarily held in the villages of Taihang Mountain. The local county soldiers and Zhang Yan's troops combined only raised more than 20,000 people, of course, they were all elite.
Save precious grains.
Of course, the reason why he dared to save food was because he had a clear mind, knew that he had reinforcements and was a real elite.
At the foot of the county gate, with the real main force of the Han Dynasty led by Yang Biao, the army of Nanyang, finally arrived late and joined Zhong Yao and Zhang Yan's troops. The Han and Zhao finally entered the countdown to the decisive battle.
Grain and grain can only last for five months.
The outcome must be decided within four months.
"Everyone, the plan has been changed. The emperor ordered us to go north to break through Huguan and go straight to Yecheng from Huguan. Time is tight, so why do you teach me?"
Yang Biao understood the matter very clearly and began to ask the generals for their opinions sincerely.
As a landlord, Zhong Yao naturally had to speak first: "Taiwei, it is speculated that the Shangdang defenders will not exceed 20,000 people at present. In terms of military strength, our advantage is indeed great, but the enemy's troops are stationed in the valley and refuse to defend, so our military strength cannot be implemented."
This is similar to the situation at Huoshankou before. Although the Tianjing Pass has changed hands and the Han army has gained an absolute strategic advantage, the Yangyan Sakuradao is a path that is more twists and narrow than the Queshi Valley. It is close to each other, and it is difficult for either side to play its numerical advantage.
Zhang Fei heard this and said, "It's time to come, and there's no other way. We can only fight hard. Now we have the patio gate, and the soldiers can take turns to rest and fight with the wheels. At most, we will only be able to get in for two months."
Everyone nodded, thinking that what Zhang Fei said was that these were obvious and were not profound remarks in themselves.
However, Yang Biao couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
"Is half a month a little too long? We need to know that we only have four months. If we only enter Shangdang, it will take half a month. How long will it take to take Huguan? What's more, after taking Huguan, we will have to attack Yecheng. Besides, the emperor is currently in Hedong, and the senior officials have an army of nearly 200,000 being besieged. How many more months can we use it in?"
Wei Yan, as the Sima of the Taiwei Mansion Army, heard this and said: "Half a month is too long. Once we fight, the Zhao army of the court will naturally guess that Huguan is the gateway to Jizhou. High officials will definitely go to ask for reinforcements from Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao will definitely prepare for our surprise attack on Yecheng. The longer the time is, the more difficult it is to fight Huguan, and the more sufficient the defense of Yecheng will be. The victory or defeat of this battle is in the word "time."
Zhang Fei frowned and asked, "Why do Sima Wei thinks he should fight this battle?"
"Originally, we should use elite soldiers to fight without hesitation of casualties and death, and attack day and night, and go down in one go."
"The enemy's general is Han Meng, the general of Hebei. He has to defend himself with a dangerous terrain. How can he go down in one go?"
"Hmph, if General Zhang is afraid of war, he is willing to be the vanguard and will defeat this thief."
Zhang Fei then snorted coldly and said, "Who can't speak loudly? I asked myself half of the body of the army, and I dared not say that I could quickly defeat Han Meng, just you?"
Among the long-distance generals in the room, he was a junior. He earned soldiers and positions by taking advantage of opportunistic risks. He really had the least experience. The so-called "slapping people without slapping people in the face, and scolding people without revealing their shortcomings. Zhang Fei's contemptuous attitude was just right to say that Wei Yan's pain point, and Wei Yan suddenly became anxious.
"Lord, our family is willing to issue a military order. If you don't, you will defeat this villa within three days!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Dao and Huang Zhong, who had never spoken before, slapped the table at the same time and shouted: "Okay~! General Wei is indeed a general of the tiger!"
"Yes, yes, with a brave man like General Wei as a vanguard, why worry about the enemy not defeating him?"
Zhang Fei laughed and gave Wei Yan a thumbs up and said, "Okay, okay, General Wei is so brave. In this way, let's wait for General Wei's good news."
Seeing this, Wei Yan was a little stunned and looked at Yang Biao again, but saw that Yang Biao's face was a bit ugly and gloomy.
It's broken, I'm hitting Zhang Fei's trap.
To be honest, fighting Han Meng is definitely a tough job. He fought on the sakura. Anyone who went to the battle had to use flesh and blood. No matter how hard he fought this battle, he was destined to suffer heavy casualties.
Don’t you know the reason why soldiers are so fast? But he doesn’t seem to be picking up this chore. After all, it’s not a great achievement to enter Shangdang. After this battle, it’s a great achievement. That’s a great achievement. Wei Yan’s troops will be in trouble with heavy casualties. At that time, Wei Yan’s troops will be in trouble with Shangdang. Shouldn’t they rest when they fight Huguan?
Didn’t this task of fighting Huguan fall on Zhang Fei’s head?
This is also the reason why Huang Zhong and Chen Dao were eager to express their opinions, because among the four of them, they were actually the weakest. Huang Zhong was a surrendered general after all, and Chen Dao was a Runan native after all. He should have chosen one of them. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan was so unstimulated that he actually picked up the trick himself.
The guy is still too young.
Of course, there are worlds where there are people. In fact, Zhang Fei, as the direct descendant of Liu Bei's direct descendant and a long-time general, already had a bit of a sense of competing for dominance with Yang Biao. However, Wei Yan, the direct descendant of Yang Biao, often jumped forward without saying anything.
