Chapter 1474 Another plan!
For other princes, they will definitely not hesitate. The people of the country are only used for enslavement, and there is no psychological burden when they should be abandoned.
But Xiang Tai is an alien.
He is relatively friendly to the people and is relatively good.
If the city abandons the city and breaks through, the people of the city will obviously be unable to follow, so they can only be abandoned...
But in the current form, I can only do this, retreat and regain the situation, and make plans!
When you stop and stop, you will suffer from chaos.
Xiang Tai finally made a decision, but this kind of thing cannot be announced. He can only make preparations in secret and must be kept strictly confidential!
Otherwise, there would be a riot in the city.
The senior management reached an agreement to start preparing for a plan, and Dugu Xin, the country of Shangzhu, finally recovered from the great defeat and re-chasing, giving people hope.
Two letters written by him were quietly delivered in the night!
One letter was sent to the capital of Chu, Shouchun. As Xiang Tai said, this great defeat could not be suppressed. The war situation must be returned as soon as possible and the court requested the decision to make as soon as possible and provide support!
The other letter was sent to Beiwang City. Dugu Xin ordered the identity of Zhuguo, who was asked to lead his troops to rescue him.
King Duan Xiang Zhi had more than 200,000 troops.
In Changning, there are 300,000 light cavalry and more than 100,000 remnants. The two sides are also very converging troops. It may not be possible to fight head-on, but it should be no problem to break through.
This is their next plan.
After breaking through, retreat to Pingguo and make plans...
In the past few days, Wang Kang has been dealing with post-war related matters, cleaning the battlefield, counting combat losses, reorganizing the army, etc.
The great victory in this battle was beyond many people's expectations, and what is even more incredible is that in such a large war, our own casualties were very small.
It's simply a miracle.
However, everyone can probably understand it, because the pattern of this war is different from that of a conventional war.
Disrupt the enemy in advance, collapse and attack the entire line in the future, and win easily.
It sounds simple, but it is difficult to operate in practice, and it depends on the commander's ability.
Obviously, Wang Kang did it!
After the war, Wang Kang fulfilled his pre-war promise as scheduled, held a grand celebration banquet, and made a reward.
The way to govern the army and control the inferior is a great subject.
I want the horse to run, and I want the horse to not eat grass, so it will never last long.
The celebration banquet lasted for three days and three nights!
Now the whole army is very motivated!
Wang Kang's prestige has reached its peak!
When he arrived at the front line, he first withstood the enemy's full attack, defeated Xiang Lie in the Huli Plain, and then captured Gaoyi City to stabilize the overall situation!
The great victory in the Battle of Changning became a turning point in the war against the Chu War. After this battle, they were no longer passively attacking, but would take the initiative to attack!
The army has been rested and recuperated.
The generals also had the idea and set off a climax of requesting the battle. Taking advantage of the great victory, they should break through Changning in one fell swoop, eliminate the remnants of the enemy, and expand the results of the battle...
However, at this time, Wang Kang was abnormally unable to move. Facing everyone's request for battle, he just replied that the time had not come.
today.
The generals came to the commander's camp to ask for battle again.
Lu Zhao was the first to speak: "Master General, our army is very motivated and has a strong fighting spirit at this time. It is the best time to attack Changning City with the momentum!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed one after another.
Zhu Ziming said, "This is not our wish, but what the soldiers of the entire army asked..."
"Does the commander have any concerns? Changning City, as the capital of Hengguo, is the largest city. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I am afraid that there will be too much loss in a strong attack?"
"Ha ha!"
"General Wu is overly worried."
Lu Zhao smiled and said, "We have Shenji Camp and Fuyang Air Force. Isn't it easy to capture Changning City?"
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
The Fuyang Air Force officially appeared in this battle, and it is no secret that it is now among the commanders of the various army.
"etc."
Hearing this.
Wang Kang said, "Whether Shenji Camp or Fuyang Air Force is used, there are many restrictions, and it is not an invincible existence. Don't you put everything on it, do you understand?"
He felt it was necessary to remind him.
Now that Shenji Camp is fully exposed, the Fuyang Air Force will inevitably bring some indulgence to the generals in the army, making them feel fearless.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Since the war started, the amount of gunpowder has been used hugely.
If he hadn't developed for many years and had a lot of reserves, he would have been unable to hold on.
Even so, it consumes a lot and cannot be used endlessly.
The war is not over yet.
He must be reserved and cannot be used on a large scale after the treatment. Good steel must be used on the blade!
Successive victory is sometimes not a good thing. If you go high and go to extremes, you will become arrogant soldiers.
Wang Kang must kill this trend in time!
He said, "I know you all have a strong desire to fight, but I have other plans."
"Changning City is the capital of Hengguo, with a large number of residents in the city. King Xiang Taishi of Heng was benevolent and won the hearts of the people. They experienced great defeat. At this time, the siege of the city will inspire the residents in the city to defend the city and forcefully attack the city, which will be detrimental to our army."
Wang Kang said, "At the beginning of the war, I have been emphasizing that if you can take a wise approach, you will never attack forcefully. Our army has limited military strength, so you should cherish it. Do you understand?"
The generals thought about it and then realized that Wang Kang's painstaking efforts were realized.
The Chu army was defeated one after another, and the loss continued because they could defeat them, but they could not.
If the troops are severely reduced, the war will not continue.
"But won't we siege the city?"
Someone raised objections.
"Of course not."
Wang Kang said, "Preliminary strategy, surround but not fight!"
"After this battle, we took the initiative, and the enemy was more anxious than us. They should understand that Changning cannot be defended, it is just a matter of time and night, so I think they will abandon the city and break through!"
"I understand. You want to wait for them to break through, and we will intercept and attack again!"
“Yes, not.”
Wang Kang said, "In comparison, what I value more is the people of Changning City..."
"What's the solution?"
People are even more confused.
Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "I said early that the Chu State has a huge land area and we cannot capture every land, so we must take advantage of their internal social conflicts."
"Hengguo is an alien to the various vassal states of Chu. This is mainly due to the style of governing the country by King Xiang Tai of Heng. He is favored by the people. When he abandons the city and flees, the people in the city will inevitably despair. We can take the opportunity to subdue and win over the hearts of the people!"
"Just like Gaoyicheng, once it succeeds, it will be more reliable in our reputation as benevolence and righteousness, and then it will be better to fight with half the effort. In comparison, this is more meaningful than killing the enemy!"
These words made people think.
They also knew this view before, and it seems that the commander wants to play a big game!
Wang Kang said, "And I am also waiting for a news, or a person's attitude..."
