Chapter 1331 West Block South War
In the side hall of the Governor's Office of Xiguan Road, there were lights. Chu Huan was sitting at the table, next to him were Xu Shao and Qi Hong, and there were several military generals such as Xu Shao and Qi Hong. There was a map on the table. Xu Shao pointed to the map and explained: "According to Mr. Pei's plan, a military force must be sent to garrison Hulu Mountain. There is no need to garrison too much, but the key points must have enough troops. Mr. Pei said that Hulu Mountain is the blade of the blade. If the blade is easily given to the opponent, the knife will not be sharp."
"How many people are needed in Hulushan?"
"At least 1,500 troops must be stationed." Xu Shao said.
Chu Huan frowned, "In Hezhou, there are only 8,000 people in total. If 1,500 people are transferred to Hulushan, there are only more than 6,000 people left in Hezhou."
"If Tianshan sends troops, they can only send troops from Suzhou, and they must pass through Hulushan. They are mainly cavalry, and of course they cannot cross the mountains, so they can only bypass Hulushan. Mr. Pei concluded that their greatest possibility should be to cross from Pingliang County, south of Hulushan." Xu Shao pointed to the map, "Pingliang County is flat and the road is shortest, so Zhu Lingyue will not seek far away. As long as they cross Pingliang County, they can reach the city of Hezhou in less than three days."
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Mr. Pei stationed troops in Hulushan. Once the Tianshan army bypassed Hulushan and took Hezhou City, there will be the nail in Hulushan behind, which may attack from the rear at any time."
"Mr. Pei means that." Xu Shao said: "Without Hulushan, the Tianshan Army has no worries and can attack Hezhou with all its might. However, if Hulushan has our garrison, they must be wary of attacks from the rear. Moreover, the west of Hulushan is in the territory of Tianshan Suzhou. The troops stationed in Hulushan will not only find opportunities to attack from the rear, but also have the freedom to attack Tianshan Suzhou. Therefore, the Tianshan Army must station troops in Suzhou and will never dare to transfer all the troops out to attack Hezhou. The most important thing is that when the Tianshan Army attacks Hezhou, its logistics supply must pass by near Hulushan. Our garrison in Hulushan has become a nightmare for the Tianshan Army's logistics supply line. If they want to ensure the safety of logistics supply, they must send a large number of troops to protect the safety, and the consumption will be greatly increased."
Chu Huan nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Pei's move was divided into several arrows. Although more than a thousand people were separated, they had a great effect and played their role to the greatest extent." After a pause, he asked, "Then Mr. Pei had thought about what if Zhu Lingyue was not in a hurry to attack Hezhou and first attacked Hulushan?"
Xu Shao laughed and asked back, "Duke Chu, we attacked Hulushan in the previous episode. If it weren't for your trick, would you think we could successfully capture Hulu Village?"
"No." Chu Huan shook his head and sighed: "By the heart, Hulu Village can become a climate, because Hulu Mountain is in a dangerous terrain. Moreover, General Qiu worked hard to manage Hulu Village, and set up mechanisms at the entrances of each important road. Those vital places can be called a place where one man can be a gate that cannot be opened. If we had not used a trick to let General Qiu concentrate his troops in Sunset Village, and the Qiu Ruxue soldiers entered and seized the suspension bridge, we would have no choice but to do anything to Hulu Village."
Xu Shao nodded and smiled, "The so-called General of the United States thinks that Hulu Mountain is really a mountain of natural disasters. I have to say that General Qiu is indeed very talented in setting traps. Mr. Pei praised General Qiu for leaving a miracle in Hulu Mountain."
Qi Hong kept silent, and couldn't help but say: "It was Chu that used a strategy to capture Hulu Village. If the Tianshan Army attacked Hulu Village, it would also have to face the Hulu Village with many organs. Mr. Pei would naturally not let them use a strategy to capture Hulu Village."
"No," Xu Shao nodded and said, "Mr. Pei has transferred a group of craftsmen to further transform the traps in Hulushan. One thousand,500 people are guarding Hulu Village. Mr. Pei is well-organized. He will not send more personnel in every key area and save troops to the greatest extent, but he will not send one less person. Every place is just right. Moreover, Mr. Pei is preparing to let Wushuang commander guard Hulushan, which will definitely be foolproof."
The Wushuang commander is naturally the wolf wolves. The wolf wolves were given the name Chu Wushuang by Chu Huan. The name of the wolf wolveshuang, except Chu Huan, others dare not call it casually. The army also calls the wolf wolveshuang commander.
When Chu Huan heard this, he nodded slightly, thinking that Pei Ji had nothing to say when he hired someone.
The wolf boy has a low-key personality, but his execution ability is very strong. If you continue to be ordered, you will follow the orders if you kill him. Moreover, the wolf boy has the agility of a hunter and is easy to seize opportunities. Staying in Hulu Mountain is the most suitable candidate. Even if Zhu Lingyue wants to use tricks, he may be able to deal with others, but sometimes it is really useless to deal with the stubborn wolf boy.
"So if Zhu Lingyue really attacked Huluzhai first, Mr. Pei would rather be happy to see this scene." Xu Shao said: "Mr. Pei said that Zhu Lingyue was careful when using troops. He would not advance rashly when sending troops this time. He must be cautious. Unless Xiao Huanzhang of Beishan really launched an attack on Kazak, Zhu Lingyue would never act rashly. Therefore, Zhu Lingyue sent troops must have been after the war in Kazakhsaka."
Chu Huan deeply agreed with this and nodded, "It must be so."
"If Zhu Lingyue really attacked Hulushan first, Mr. Pei predicted that even if Zhu Lingyue used all his skills, it would be impossible to capture Huluzhai within a month." Xu Shao's eyes flashed, and he was obviously very impressed by Pei Ji. "Hulushan held the Tianshan Army for a month, and Hezhou's defense would be better improved. Even if Zhu Lingyue really captured Hulushan and then went back to attack Hezhou, then Hezhou would be persistent for ten days and half a month. Zhu Lingyue's army was mainly a cavalry army, and the plains were decisive. At present, there was no army in the northwest that could be compared with Zhu Lingyue, but the cavalry could not attack the city, so there should be no problem in Hezhou defending for ten days and half a month." After pausing, he continued: "But with the strength of Hezhou, it is impossible to defeat Zhu Lingyue. What Hezhou can do is to try to delay the Tianshan Army and buy time for the war in Jiazhou."
Chu Huan also knew this very well.
Now the Xiguan army is divided into two groups, one in Qingtang County, Jiazhou, the southern line, with Xuanyuan Shengcai as the main general. Lu Cunxiao followed Xuanyuan Shengcai's command and obeyed the orders and tried his best to deal with the upcoming offensive of the Beishan Army.
The other is the Hezhou Army in the west. Although Han Ying and Huang Yutan were in charge of Hezhou, Chu Huan transferred Pei Ji over after much thought.
Han Ying and Huang Yutan are very suitable combinations, but they are going to face the cunning but ruthless Zhu Lingyue, and they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. Chu Huan can only let Pei Ji, who is the strongest under his command, go to the charge. Xiguan has been very clear from the beginning that once attacked by two sides, Xiguan will definitely be in danger. The only strategy that may be implemented is to hold on to one side first, solve the other side first, and then go back to the decisive battle.
Of course, it is impossible for the Tianshan Army to be solved quickly.
According to the information obtained by Chu Huan, the Tianshan Army had a powerful Black Wind Cavalry Legion. It is said that the number of cavalry Legion is no less than 30,000. In addition, there are the Tianshan Imperial Guards and Tianshan Prefecture Army, with a total strength of up to 50,000. Such an army, with only the current strength of Xiguan, would be very unlikely to resolve it quickly. Therefore, in the strategy formulated, the main responsibility of the Hezhou Legion in the West is to do everything possible to hold up the Tianshan Army and buy time for the Xuanyuan Legion in the South.
The Beishan Army's military strength is not above Xiguan, and it is even weaker than the Xiguan Army in terms of total strength. The Xiguan Army has a total of 40,000 troops, while the Beishan Army's military strength is less than 40,000.
The most important thing is that most of the soldiers of the Beishan Army have been recruited in the past year and have just undergone preliminary military training. Most of them have no practical experience on the battlefield. On the contrary, although the Pingxi Army under Chu Huan has a somewhat complicated composition, they have almost all gone through life and death battles on the battlefield and are absolutely veterans on the battlefield.
When the Pingxi Army was in Dongfangxin, the discipline was loose, but Chu Huan eliminated Dongfangxin and appointed Xuanyuan Shengcai as the General of Pingxi. The first thing he did was to rectify military disciplines and formulate many military rules for this purpose. Moreover, Chu Huan set up a military supervisor, and Situ Liangyu served as the military supervisor of the military supervisor. Whether it was the Imperial Guard or the Pingxi Army, those who violated the military law were directly sent to the Military Supervision Office and were punished by Situ Liangyu on the crime. Since Situ Liangyu followed Chu Huan, he was selfless. No matter who violated the military law, he would be dealt with according to the military law. Now he has obtained the nickname of the Black-faced King of Hell.
In addition to strictly enforcing military discipline and strengthening training, Chu Huan also tried his best to provide the military supplies, and there was no shortage of the army's food and military pay. The soldiers joined the army to fight to eat food and have food to eat, so they naturally made it out like a mountain. In addition, Chu Huan issued several orders, but those with talent in the army did not care about their background and only promoted their talents, which also made the morale in the army very high.
So overall, the combat effectiveness of the Xiguan Army is far above the Beishan Army. Because of this, Chu Huan and other core members of Xiguan have formulated a strategy of dragging the west and fighting south, gathering heavy troops on the southern front, waiting for the Beishan Army to move, and then first resolve the threat from the south at the fastest speed. After defeating the Beishan Army, they will gather troops and turn back to fight the Tianshan Army to fight a decisive battle.
The two most important points of this plan are: First, the Hezhou Legion must try its best to delay time and gain time for the Kezhou Legion on the southern front. Second, the Kezhou Legion on the southern front must also defeat the Beishan Army as quickly as possible after the war begins, thereby drawing out troops and quickly supporting the Western Front. Fighting on both sides is extremely dangerous. This plan is also forced to be full of risks. No matter which side does not achieve the established goal, Xiguan will inevitably fall into a comprehensive danger.
However, Chu Huan, it is impossible to guarantee that the Hezhou Legion can hold Zhu Lingyue, and it is also impossible to guarantee that the Jiazhou Legion of Xuanyuan Shengcai can quickly solve the Beishan Army.
"How is the people in Hezhou?" Chu Huan was silent for a while and finally asked: "It is impossible for the people to transfer their troops to Hezhou to be unconscious, right?"
"The news of the Beishan army border has been spread. The people in Hezhou are also talking about it, and they are worried that Zhu Lingyue will march into Hezhou." Xu Shao said solemnly: "However, from the words of the people, it can be seen that they are already full of hostility towards Zhu Lingyue. Many people say that Xiguan is now implementing the equal-field order. The people are about to live a good life. The Tianshan Army wants to fight Xiguan to make life suffer. Huang Yutan has a deep influence in Xiguan. A while ago, he had held a tea party in Hezhou City and invited some local literati and men to talk about these things. Huang Yutan wanted to use those people's mouths to create momentum for Chu. "
