Chapter 825
Zhennan Pass.
In the military conference hall, dozens of Wu'an Prefecture generals and school officials gathered together to surround a very simple sand table in Wu'an Prefecture and surrounding areas.
In fact, Wu'an Prefecture has collected a very detailed surrounding mountains, rivers and terrain, and has also allowed skilled craftsmen to make many fine sand tables. However, such sand tables are top secrets in Wu'an Prefecture and are only treasured in the Secret Pavilion of Taiping City. Now this very simple sand table here is simplified by the precision sand table, which is only qualified to borrow.
Although the sand table is much simpler, it has roughly mountains, rivers and rivers, and it is still relatively accurate.
Ah Huang wore a soft-footed head and a pleated military robe.
He pointed to the northeast direction of the sand table, "The latest information, according to the instructions of Duke Wei, the Zuoxi barbarian king Fusan led the Zuoxi gangmen to launch a counterattack in Tanzhou. The gangs in the four sides of Tanzhou, both old and weak, rushed to reinforce."
Yang Jizhen couldn't help asking, "Under Tanzhou City, there are many people in the people of Juchengsha. Tanzhou should resist the city to hold on, so why would he have to go out to fight in the city? If the waves lose, Tanzhou cannot defend it, then will the entire Zuoxi battlefield collapse?"
Lao Yang had a good vision and always felt that Zuoximan from Tanzhou could not beat the people of Juchengsha. If he could beat him, he would not have been surrounded for so long and had been pressed to the ground.
Ah Huang smiled.
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Yang, you have a good idea and plan your own strategy. There is naturally a reason for this arrangement. Next, I want to talk about the highest secret. After this, you are not allowed to disclose a word of it, otherwise the military law will be dealt with." Ah Huang became serious, "In fact, the Zuoximan of Tanzhou attacked just a feint, in order to attract the main force of the Juchengsha people in Tanzhou City."
"The drunken old man in Wei is not about wine, but about the sword elsewhere."
He pointed several positions on the sand table.
Yang Jizhen and others looked carefully, but they saw that it was Langzhou Wuli on the south bank of Zuoxi, Luolong City, and Longzhou upstream of Tanzhou.
Finally, my fingers fell to Qiyuanzhou and Guangyuanzhou areas that were currently under their control.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's time for a counterattack. It's our turn to take action. Don't you understand?"
A group of generals and schools were excited, "So many places to fight together? Are you going to buy dumplings from the sand people in Tanzhou City?"
"No, there is a military strategy, so the siege must be ignored, so that the best strategy will be made."
"This time we have to join forces on three sides and leave one side."
"Why should I stay? I will solve them once and for all under Tanzhou City, so it will save more trouble."
"It's done."
"A direct decisive battle."
A group of generals talked about each other, it was so lively.
"Duke Wei is my Huo Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. Is it better to use troops than you? I will surround you and the people of Juchengsha must fight to trap beasts. If you fight to the death, you will inevitably cause great casualties. It is not cost-effective. Therefore, I deliberately surround three and one, first destroy their fighting spirit and make them flee. When we go after them calmly, we will be able to annihilate them without any effort."
"Then where will we call?"
"Our mission is to guard Zhennan Pass well. We must be careful of the sandy people who are anxious to jump over the wall. If someone runs to us in a panic, he will not be allowed to pass Zhennan Pass and rush to our Wu'an Prefecture to cause chaos. No one Jucheng barbarians are allowed to enter the country. This is a dead order!"
"Our Zhennan Pass is so dangerous. If one man is the pass, ten thousand men will not open. How can the defeated army of Jucheng pass? Even if the army comes, it will not be able to attack. We have so many people, so we can't sit here? Otherwise, we can't mobilize some people to reinforce other places? We can't fight others, we are watching the scenery?" Some general couldn't help but say.
As soon as Duke Wei’s combat plan was revealed, everyone was amazed that it was indeed better than closing the door and beating dogs, but the problem was that everyone here in Zhennan Pass was a little unhappy. Only by being able to go to the battlefield would you have the chance to earn military merits. As a soldier, who would be willing to retreat to the rear?
Ah Huang is not those knights who are determined to make meritorious contributions. As a general sent by Qin Lang to take charge of Wu'an Prefecture, his most important task is to guard Zhennan Pass. This is the northern gateway to Wu'an Prefecture, and it must not be missed.
Any mistaken defeated troops will cause great damage to the fiefdom.
It is a merit to guard Zhennan Pass well.
"Don't be anxious, either." Ah Huang waved his hand with a smile.
He looked at the sand table. In fact, Zhennan Pass was indeed stable. The soldiers of the army, Qian Dexing, had already taken over Shixicheng. This was originally one of the eighteen barbarian prefectures in Zuoxi. After the invasion of Jucheng, the Shixi barbarian king led Dongding's main force in Guangyuan, Longzhou and other areas to block the sand people. As a result, he suffered several defeats and suffered heavy losses.
Qian Dexing was ordered to lead troops to reinforce, but in fact he had taken over Shixi. Qin Lang later simply demoted Shixi to a county in Yongzhou and temporarily transferred it to the Wu'an Prefecture Governor's Office for the administration.
The Siming River is bounded in the north and the Beilun River is not bounded in the east. Qin Lang actually expanded Wu'an Prefecture a hundred miles north, and Zhennan Pass is no longer the northern gate.
The two cities of Shixi (Pingxiang) and Siming (Ningming) became two insurances north of Zhennan Pass. Thinking of the two cities within a hundred miles north of Zhennan Pass, we had to take over the two cities within a hundred miles north of the Guan. With Qian Dexing and Qin Yong each led 3,000 people to defend the two cities. Even if the Sharen had a sharp front before, there would be no chance, let alone when they were already tired, once the troops were defeated, it would be even more impossible to rush to the Zhennan Pass.
But there is no big mistake to be careful.
Besides, Qin Lang’s plan is also very Zhou Xiang. Whether it is to hit Changzhou or Longzhou, it actually doesn’t use too many soldiers. The more soldiers, the greater the pressure on logistics supply, and the less flexible the command is.
Therefore, there is no need for too many soldiers to fight back, and there is no need for more energy.
But Wu'anzhou and Zhuxidong both received orders to convene young and strong people.
The so many people gathered together were not used for decisive battles, but for waiting for the main elite to defeat the Juchengman and beat the dogs to fall into the water.
To put it bluntly, I just want to set up a big net and catch Juchengman in one go.
Regardless of whether everyone can understand it or not, Ah Huang still conveyed the strategic intentions of Duke Wei to everyone and then assigned tasks.
The eight hundred elite soldiers from Zhennan Pass remained unmoved, and the regiment trainees who were drawn left behind a thousand assisting defense. The rest of the people from Dongding Village can leave Zhennan Pass.
One of the people left the town north and south, headed to Shixi and Siming, and went there to do some auxiliary tasks.
Another group heads northwest along the Qiongqi River. In recent years, the Qin family built roads along the Qiongqi River Valley and opened commercial roads. From Menxian County, Zhennanguan, to the northwest along the Qiongqi River, a road of 200 miles long was built.
This road extends northwest, passes through Qiyuanzhou, goes straight to Guangyuanzhou, and finally reaches Qinlang's enclave Gaopingbao.
The last time Ah Huang led the soldiers and horses from Wu'an Prefecture to rob the Jumachi tribe, he took this route. In the past two years, many Wu'an Prefecture vassals such as Ah Huang have even opened up many new villages on both sides along this trade route.
"Qiyuan Prefecture has been reduced to Qixi County by Duke Wei. This place is the upper reaches of Zuoxi, which is very important. We have to guard against the fact that Juchengman breaks through Longzhou and arrives at Qixi along Pinghe River."
Qixi is a good mountain valley basin, so many barbarian tribes have gathered and have a powerful Barbarian King tribe alliance. It is also one of the eighteen barbarian prefectures in Zuoxi. In the previous battle of Sha people siege Gaoping, Qixi was also attacked by Sha people and suffered considerable losses. Later, the Qin family's troops went north to repel the Qixi Sha people and lifted the Gaoping siege.
At present, Qixi is a must-pass place for the Qin family and Gaoping Enclave. At the same time, it is the northwest gate of Wu'an Prefecture. Tanzhou Man is likely to retreat along the upper reaches of Zuoxi and the river to Qixi, and may even go around the back of Zhennan Pass along the Qiqiong River.
"Who is willing to go to Siming, Shixi, and who is willing to go to Qixi and Gaoping?"
Everyone also realized that no matter whether they go to the northeast or northwest, they were actually going to help. However, when they went to the northeast, they would probably find some opportunities. At least they could search for defeated soldiers and clean up the battlefield. If they went to Qixi and Gaoping in the northwest, they would probably not even have a sip of soup. Everyone did not think that Sharen could escape from Tanzhou to Gaoping, and it would be even impossible to say that they would have the courage to come to Qixi and even cross the south to Wu'anzhou.
Everyone was scrambling to lead the team to the Northeast.
"If you pull all the strong men of the earth group up, maybe there will be some chances at that time. There are 1,800 people in Zhennan Pass to defend, so there will be no problem."
"I want to tell you, just pull the newly recruited middle-aged man out of seclusion and experience, so that the boys can broaden their horizons."
Everyone felt that this opportunity was rare. Since the young and strong people were recruited, except for 1,88 left behind, the rest were taken out of the detention. In the counties in Wu'an Prefecture, only a small number of township brave men were left to guard the county, and the middle-aged men helped maintain public order.
Everyone looks like a rare opportunity and must not be missed.
Ah Huang thought about it and thought it was right. Before, everyone had been in Jucheng, and Juchengman could be timid. Now, under the leadership of a woman, he has been arrogant for a few days. Now, Annan, Li Daliang, has already entered Jucheng's confidant, Qin Lang is closing the net in the east, and Tanzhouman has begun to be ordered to fight back and restrain. Under such a net in the sky, there is really no need to be too careful.
The officers who were named were all unlucky. They were obviously leading elite troops, but they could only sit in the back when the war was approaching and couldn't even hear the horn of war.
They all shouted that they were dissatisfied and demanded that they would rather lead the village heroes and the middle-aged men go out than stay and stay in charge. After thinking about it, Ah Huang really agreed to transfer two-thirds of the knights who led the troops out, and even the 1,800 elite soldiers who had originally left behind. In the end, Ah Huang left only 500 elite soldiers and 500 town heroes, and deducted another 800 people to let them attack as well.
"Whether you can get the opportunity depends on your own luck, but I want to emphasize one thing. After you arrive in Shixi, Siming, Qixi, Guangyuan, and Gaoping, the first priority is to get the city defense control rights of the city. I don't care which barbarian king or the village they were from before. Since the Duke of Wei has surrendered them to the county and temporarily assigned them to the Wu'an Prefecture Governor's Office for management, we must take charge."
Will the court finally agree to include these Jimanzhou in Annan Road and under Wu'an Prefectures? It is still a question, but since Duke Wei did this, it is just a test. Whether it succeeds or not, they must take the opportunity to get control first.
It’s impossible for the court to agree at that time, but everyone can’t get control, right?
This is much more important than the Juchengman who beats. If you destroy Juchengman, Wu'anzhou will not have the chance to divide the territory, but Zuo Ximan was beaten up this time, so you can still have a chance to dig a few pieces of meat.
You have to give it a try.
Even if the court refuses to assign various places to Wu'an Prefecture when the time comes, after everyone gets control this time, they can still retain many benefits in the future. This is not only the interests of the Qin family, but also the interests of almost everyone in Wu'an Prefecture.
Not only Shixi, Guangyuan and other cities, but also Siling Prefecture, Qianzhou, Sumaozhou and Xin'an Prefecture in the east were demoted to counties by Qin Lang this time, and Ah Huang also planned to send people to get control in the name of strengthening defense.
If this step is successful, Wu'an Prefecture can add the eight barbarian prefectures at once and expand its territory by a circle.
