Jianyan Chapter 229th Section 229 Taking advantage of the situation
"I have recently caught many detailed works around me. After questioning, they all said that it was from Pingyang. Why did Hu Yangeng take Fenzhou? There were more detailed works around us?"
"You mean?"
"The child thought that after Hu Yangeng arrived in Hedong, he had already connected the Song army in Hedong. Although Hu Yangeng had no strategy in the war, he was good at taking external power. In Chang'an the previous year, he also used external power to force our army to retreat...
"Not bad." Wanyan Loushi looked at his son with relief, "As long as he opens Xinzhou and the entire Hedong territory, it will be connected north and south, and Taiyuan will become an isolated city. At that time, it will depend on what price the silver technique can offer."
Wanyan Huo's woman suddenly said: "It's not just Taiyuan, Loufan, and Longde to the north. Longde is the gateway to Bianliang. Will the Song army want to regain Longde?"
Longde was also considered a big city in the Song Dynasty. Under Longde City, Wanyan Loushi also had a fight with Wang Bing.
Wanyan Loushi said: "Dalang, if Hu Yangeng is like you, he wants to take over the city and catch him when he sees Dingkou, then he is not worth worrying. Seeing his father as he is in Hebei and Shaanxi, he has great ambitions, but he can use the external situation, which is not simple."
Wanyan Huo's girl murmured: "It's not the value of the Southern Dynasties Queen Mother."
Wanyan Loushi said: "Dalang, you will be in charge of this battle with you. You will fight Hu Yangeng in one fight."
Wanyanhuo's girl was overjoyed. He was walking around the house and made a decision: "The child thought of a clever plan. Whether Hu Yangeng is in Fenzhou or Xinzhou, the foundation of the Song army is in Pingyang. If the child set up a surprise soldier, seize Pingyang at night and kill the Song army's economic envoy, then Hu Yangeng will be in chaos. Then he can join forces with the Yinshu in Taiyuan..."
"Hmph!" Wanyan Loushi snorted dissatisfiedly, "Dalang, when can you change your unrestrained temperament? How can I hand over the family business of the Qishui Ministry to you with confidence?"
Wanyan Huo's girl was stunned and scratched her ears, suspecting that she had heard it wrong: "Children, please tell her father."
"This Great Jin Dynasty belongs to Aguda's family. Our Seventh Waters Tribe is a vine that takes root and sprouts through the Great Jin Dynasty's big tree. The most important thing about this climbing vine is that it can divide the largest branch."
Looking at Wanyan's live-action woman, Wanyan Loushi said again: "The same is true for Wanyan Yinshu. This is the same for Hedong, and the western and southern Henan are from my Seven Water Division. If Wanyan Yinshu could send troops to western Henan to seize the city, what would you think?"
"The dog is here to grab food."
"Yes, when you arrived in Hedong, Yinshu was thinking this way."
"He dares... Dad, don't we just want Hedong?"
"It's not that I don't want it, but that I can't hold on to Wanyan Yinshu. I beg us to go. My son, you know what to do."
Wanyan Huo's woman glanced at the kind Wanyan Loushi and said, "Increase the attack and strive to break through Shanzhou in ten days."
Wanyan Loushi believes that Hu Yangeng is not good at strategy, but is good at using external forces, which is very true.
Those who are good at fighting will seek power and not blame others.
Hu Yangeng has been in the army for many years, and has heard of it and is skilled in the army. He has come from small battles to large battles, from large battles to small battles, and after several major battles, he has accumulated enough combat experience in this era.
If he was just a person from this era, he could be a powerful general who rushed forward, but lacked an intuitive understanding of various military affairs in this era. Therefore, strategy cannot be implemented.
But he was a time traveler. He deeply understood that the real purpose is not so much about seeking battle and requiring soldiers to be brave, but rather seeking a favorable strategic situation. The so-called "force comes from form and accumulates power". A favorable strategic situation is like a natural success in the article. If you get it by your own skill, you will get it by chance. If you follow the trend, you will win. Why do you say that momentum is overwhelming? Momentum has the upper hand, and the opponent's failure is sooner or later.
Since ancient times, military strategists have attached importance to the situation.
"Trend" can be followed, and "Trend" can be created. If there is a force that is beneficial to oneself, follow the trend; if there is a force that is not beneficial to oneself, change it to create it.
The most important "momentum" is the wheel of history. He knew that after the siege of Jingkang, the rule of the Song Dynasty would temporarily collapse, and from south to north, all the powerful soldiers and horses were dominant.
He knew that although the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains, their low tribal rule would make the northern people live in poverty and refugees everywhere. These refugees were his most reliable source of troops.
He had the land of Hebei and endless military sources, new wine in old bottles, and learning the organizational forms of later generations. He had already been invincible. As for where to attack, where to guard, or even the victory or defeat of one or two battles, it was all a minor matter.
Ma Kuo has sent a spy to report the situation in Xinzhou to Hu Yangeng. "How is the city defense in Xinzhou?"
"I watched from a distance, with flags and golden drums endlessly, and it seemed that the defense was very tight."
"Where are the troops arranged?"
"The four gates of Xinzhou are closed, and only the south gate is left to allow the people to enter the city. All the people returning to the city need to undergo strict inspections. They first report to the city's resident and call their families to recognize the people. No one claims them and behead them all."
Prevention is indeed very strict, no wonder this fine work cannot be mixed up.
Shortly after nightfall, he summoned the generals.
He said, "When you come back, I have asked Xinzhou carefully, and I am determined to leave the army early tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
Although Hu Yan Wukang, Zhe Yanping and others were not wise men, they knew that it was dangerous. Hu Yan Wukang said: "Our army is more than 300 miles away from Xinzhou. There are many people on the road, and it is difficult to cover up the journey."
"It is difficult to cover up the journey. When our army arrives at the city, we still have to set up camps and build siege equipment. If we cannot save the effect of the surprise attack, it will be difficult to fight." Zhe Yanping said.
Hu Yan Wukang said: "If you have a hard time fighting, there are many Jin soldiers near Xinzhou. If they siege and attack them, our army will be in danger."
Hu Yangeng said suddenly, "What are some Jin soldiers? How can I resist my iron cavalry?"
"General, don't be careless!" Xuan Zan couldn't help but emerge, repeating what he had said before, and repeatedly admonished him.
Hu Yangeng turned to Yan and suddenly laughed, saying, "You can see the danger, I will ask you, Lou Fan, can the Solu from Taiyuan see it?"
"Loufan?"
"The reason why I wanted to attack Xinzhou was to pretend to trap our army to death and lure Loufan and Suolu out of the city. Then our army surrounded the points and attacked the aid, annihilated them, and then rushed to attack Dingxiang City. We fought to defeat the right wing of the Suolu in a battle, and called Wanyan Yinshu unable to sleep or eat."
The generals looked at each other and Xuan Zan asked, "Fake it? What kind of fake it is?"
When asked the main topic, I was afraid that the false would become true. Hu Yangeng said, "You see." He spread the map and pointed out the country. He said, "Dingxiang is about a hundred miles away from Xinzhou. Xinzhou is surrounded by water and is Chenghou Mountain in the north, ten miles long from east to west and five miles wide from south to south. When you come to Xinzhou from Loufan, you must pass by this mountain. I heard from General Manager Wu that there are many long pine trees on this mountain, covering the sky and the sun. In winter, trees fall leaves, but have little impact on the pine trees. This place is the best place to set up an ambush."
