Chapter 488: Military Intelligence
Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, it is definitely not Jiang Yu's turn to say the most respected general. But if you want to say the most famous general, it must be Jiang Yu.
There is no way, who made Jiang Sheng young?
Wang Jian, Xiang Yan, Lian Po, Li Mu and others have long passed the age of being competitive, and their fans are already old.
Jiang Yan's fans are all young people. It was the time of great prosperity that when they were having a party with friends, they naturally had to brag about Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan is so famous that there are naturally many people who study Jiang Yan’s tactics and strategies.
Since Jiang Xu debuted, he has experienced few wars, but every time it was a big war. Jiang Xu can now be called "in a long battle".
When he first attacked Yan, Jiang Yu's opinion was rejected by Li Mu.
During the second attack on Yan, Pang Nuan followed Jiang Qi's advice and asked Jiang Qi to lead troops to lure the enemy. In the end, the enemy general Ju Xin defeated him and lost Wuyang City.
In the battle against Qi, Jiang Yu sat in front of the two armies to invite Qi generals Tian to discuss with each other, and finally defeated the Qi army in a battle of sunshine.
Not to mention the battle with the Huns, that was two years ago.
Therefore, Wang Jian would not underestimate Jiang Qingnian for urinating.
Meng Tian and Wang Li are both rising stars in Qin State, and Qin King Ying Zheng and Wang Jian have great expectations for them.
This time, letting the two of them come together was to let them play against Jiang Yu. No matter the victory or defeat in this battle, it is an important experience for Meng Tian and Wang Li.
Hearing Wang Jian’s question, Meng Tian pointed to a place on the map and explained in a deep voice: “This is a plain, and there is no strong city to bear within a radius of twenty miles, but it is also the only way for Jiang Yu to march. Finally, he will camp here and wait for work to overcome Jiang Yu.”
Wang Li sneered: "If Jiang Xi takes a detour, what do you think?"
Wang Jian glanced at Meng Tian and Wang Li. Wang Li was Wang Jian's grandson and Wang Jian had great expectations for him.
Judging from military talent alone, Wang Li is not inferior to Meng Tian, but if it is the turn of mind and nature, Wang Li will be much inferior to Meng Tian.
When marching and fighting, the general's mind is more important than military strategy.
Meng Tian explained: "If Jiang Xi dares to take a detour, he will definitely lose."
"From here to Li Mu's army, there is no danger to defend. If Jiang Yu walks around, our army will follow closely. Jiang Yu's army is tired from afar, and our army will be in chaos when we pursue it. Our army takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and his 50,000 troops will be as vulnerable as a local chicken and a tiled dog."
Wang Li's face looked a little ugly. He thought of this just after he finished asking. Now that Meng Tian answered it, he seemed to be foolish.
Wang Jian looked at the map and remained silent. At this moment, what he was considering was not the battle between Qin and Zhao, but the matter within Qin.
Since Qin and Zhao have fought in the battle, since Qin cannot destroy Zhao, the next war will be on the negotiating table.
If Wang Jian and Li Mu are in a stalemate, the most difficult thing to do is to Zhao Wangqian get married to prostitutes, because they are responsible for the logistics of Li Mu's army.
However, in the Qin Dynasty, the two Wang and Meng families had too strong military power, and the Meng family was not bad, but Wang Jian's prestige was too high, so in the long run, he would be afraid of the King of Qin.
Therefore, Wang Li and Meng Tian were also what Wang Jian hoped to see.
But Wang Li's nature made Wang Jian feel a little worried.
No longer thinking about these things, Wang Jian thought about Meng Tian's tactics and dragged Jiang Yu's 50,000 troops to the plain. Meng Tian was waiting for his work, so he didn't have to worry about Jiang Yu's tricks.
If the two armies face off, Meng Tian might not lose to Jiang Sheng.
Thinking of this, Wang Jian ordered: "Meng Tian, please lead 50,000 troops to fight Jiang Yan, Wang Li, you are the deputy general of Meng Tian."
Although Wang Li was not convinced, he could only accept the orders obediently.
"Report - General, there is an urgent report from the army ahead!"
Wang Jian looked up and said lightly: "Come on!"
After a while, a very injured Qin soldier was helped up. When the soldier saw Wang Jian, he immediately knelt down on the ground and cried: "General, Jiang Xu of Zhao led 50,000 cavalry to attack Anyang. Our army was defeated. General! Anyang... lost!"
Meng Tian shouted when he heard this: "Impossible!"
Wang Li said angrily: "Come here, I will drag down this person who lied about military affairs and caused trouble to the morale of the army."
"God of life, General! God of life!"
"Slow down!" Wang Jian looked at the Qin soldiers and asked slowly, "Do you think Anyang is lost?"
The soldier said tremblingly: "General..."
Wang Jian said: "Don't worry, just say it slowly!"
"Yes!" said the soldier: "Two days ago, Jiang Qi sent someone to pretend to be a grain-carrying team to open the city gate. Then 50,000 cavalry raided. Our army could not resist and the entire army was wiped out!"
Wang Jian asked, "Then how did you escape?"
The soldier explained: "Bizhi is a scout. When the Zhao army attacked, Beizhi led a team to patrol outside. After encountering the Zhao army, Beizhi was killed to death. The whole team was nine, and only Beizhi survived."
Wang Li bowed and said angrily: "General, the will of King Zhao to dispatch troops is still on the way to Dai County. How could Jiang Yu's army appear here unless..."
Wang Jian asked, "Unless what?"
Wang Li said: "Unless the King of Zhao's order to dispatch troops just after leaving Handan, Jiang Yu led 50,000 cavalry from Dai County and rushed to Anyang at night."
Speaking of this, Wang Li said in disbelief: "But without the order from King Zhao to mobilize troops, he privately mobilized troops to be accomplices in rebellion. How dare Jiang Yu..."
Meng Tian said in a deep voice: "He has a military order, but the military order is still on the way!"
After pausing, Meng Tian continued: "Jiang Yu once led infantry to raid 1,200 miles in nine days. Now he is all cavalry. Calculate the time, it is not impossible to attack Anyang two days ago."
Wang Jian's eyes kept looking at the map. The location of Anyang was extremely important. It was the logistics granary of Wang Jian's army. Wang Jian sent a total of 30,000 troops to guard it. When Anyang was lost, Wang Jian's army's food and supplies were immediately in crisis.
Now it is not to consider whether Jiang Yan has the order of King Zhao to mobilize troops, but to consider how to retake Anyang or to open up another food channel.
Otherwise, the 150,000 troops brought to the front line by Wang Jian will be starved to death.
After looking at the map for a long time, Wang Jian suddenly asked, "You said, from which direction did Jiang Yu's 50,000 cavalry attack?"
Wang Jian sent many scouts around him, but if he was facing 50,000 cavalrymen, the scouts were indeed unable to fight back to report.
Meng Tian was shocked when she heard this and frowned and said, "The general means..."
Wang Jian smiled and said coldly: "If Jiang Yu really takes the wrong plan, then he can only say that he is seeking death."
Wang Li frowned and looked at the map for a long time to analyze.
Jiang Yu's army came from afar, and there was no food or grass in the army. At this moment, Jiang Yu's army either guarded Anyang to wait for Li Mu's reinforcements, or burned Anyang's food and grass, and then returned with a small amount of food.
"here!"
Wang Jian pointed to a place in the map and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yu can only attack Anyang from here, send an order, Meng Tian, you will immediately lead 50,000 troops to Anyang. If Jiang Yu is still in Anyang, you will besieged him in the city and wait for the support of this general."
"The last general will receive the order!"
"Wang Li!"
"The last one will be here!"
Wang Jian ordered: "You can lead 20,000 troops to camp here and cut off Jiang Yu's retreat."
Chapter completed!
