Chapter 1493 Who wins whose strategy
Normally, no matter which commander you are in, you would like to fight while knowing yourself and the enemy. Before the battle begins, any army needs to conduct reconnaissance, and the frequency of reconnaissance can also be regarded as the next step for the two armies to take action. Prelude.
But after the entire battle, the role of scouts began to decline, because during the specific battle process, there was no instant messaging tool, and it was often too late to adjust even if they wanted to adjust when they learned of the new situation, so most of the time the coaches of both sides had Without a reserve team, it often becomes the winner.
In ancient times, where the pace of war was relatively slow, it was like playing chess. The two sides came and went. Although it seems simple to say, it actually tested the level of the commander. If there is a problem in any link, it may affect the The whole situation.
The area suitable for combat is actually in the entire terrain of Sichuan and Shu, except for a large basin near Chengdu in the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu, I am afraid that it is along several waters in the middle of Sichuan, Han River, Fu River, Lang River, etc., relatively speaking It is the most important line of travel and points of contention.
Zhengxi enters Sichuan from the north, basically along the Langshui River, and then from Guanghan to the west, slanting to the southwest and heading straight to Chengdu. This is the fastest way, and it also avoids some rough and difficult places on the mountain road. But the problem is that the battle line is relatively long, and there are no cities and passes that can cover the flanks...
In the current battle situation, Pang Xi led his soldiers to station in Qixian County, the frontier of Chengdu, to build city defenses, dig fortifications, and resist.
To the north of Qi County, there are Zitong Water and Fu River systems. Among the water system nodes of Zitong Water, the most important one is Zitong County. Similarly, in Fu River, it is Fu County. The distance between these two counties is Not far away, there are also heavy troops stationed, guarded by Liu Guilingbao, forming a mutual echoing situation. No matter which county is attacked, there is a possibility of being attacked by another county, and Pang Xi''s flanks are protected. It roughly formed an inverted triangle, like a pocket, opening towards Guanghan.
If we avoid Pang Xi, who has a heavy army in Qi County, and attack Zitong and Fu counties, which are relatively weak on the flanks, first, we will take the road of Zitong and Fu counties from Guanghan, which is tantamount to making an extra detour, and then The flank is tantamount to being exposed to Qi County. If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to defeat Zitong and Fu County, but you may even lose Guanghan.
In the south and east of Guanghan, there is Anhan.
Liu Bei''s army is now marching into Anhan, faintly restraining Guanghan.
Now that both sides have some advantages in location, they are entrenched in confrontation, like beasts about to bite and fight, waiting for the other side to show their flaws first...
In any case, in areas like Sichuan and Sichuan where there are many rugged mountain roads and the direction of travel is very limited, no one likes to be attacked when they are attacking the opponent''s city, and then their back road is plagiarized. At that moment, the opponent''s reinforcements appeared on his side.
In the absence of a clear understanding of the specific situation and the distribution of the opponent''s soldiers, I am afraid that only the reckless will directly launch an attack regardless, especially in a mixed situation where many parties want to conquer the opponent''s city, or to target the opponent''s city. Siege operations against the opponent''s stronghold must be carried out after the opponent''s army in the field has been cleared. Otherwise, the combat goal is still to give priority to the opponent''s field troops.
Therefore, for Zhengxi troops, if Xu Shu wants to attack Qi County, the threat from the two wings cannot be ignored. In the direction of Zitong and Fu County, it is relatively far away, and the threat is not very direct, but Liu Bei''s army in Anhan is equivalent to directly stabbing Xu Shu in the side.
Similarly, for the Sichuan-Shu coalition forces, in order to attack Guanghan, Xu Shu must lose his soldiers fighting in the wild...
To the north of Anhan City, more than forty miles away, there is a mountain stream, which the locals call Wulijian. In Wulijian, a military camp was originally built, but because there has been no civil war in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, so It was abandoned before, but now Liu Bei and others want to rebuild it.
Because the surveying and mapping technology or standards of this year are backward, so many times I just wrote a few words. As for the specific situation, mountains and rivers and geography are all blank, there are no locals as guides, or like It is Zhang Songxian who gives detailed and specific land books of mountains and rivers, which are all blind.
Guan Yu and Wu Ban came to Wulijian in the north of Anhan City to conduct a detailed on-site investigation.
Whether Wulijian is five miles long or not, no one has measured it in a very specific way, but it is generally not bad. The mountain stream rushes out in the middle, one side is steeper, and the other side is gentler. Tongxing, and there is a stone beam in Wulijian. The stone beam is suspended on three sides, surrounded by streams of water, and a gentle **** on one side. It is a natural and dangerous place, which is the original military camp.
Guan Yu stood in front of the abandoned military stronghold and looked around the surrounding mountains very carefully.
"In the past, the Jia bandits brought disaster to Sichuan and Shu. They gathered 3,000 soldiers here and took advantage of the danger. Liu Yizhou attacked for several months, but failed. Unfortunately, there was no rescue from outside. It was also heard that the Jia bandits were awarded the leadership, and they collapsed." Wu Ban pointed out. Looking at the Shiliang military camp, he said, "Afterwards, because there was no fighting in Sichuan and Shu, the military camp was withdrawn..."
"It''s so majestic, if there are 3,000 soldiers, the enemy''s army will be more than 10,000, and it will be difficult to overtake!" Guan Yu looked around, and he was also a little hesitant. !"
If Anhan County is like a knife stabbing the flank of Guanghan, then the Shiliang Army Village here in Wulijian is the sharp tip of this knife.
Wu Ban nodded in response, but also reminded: "General Guan, this village has been abandoned for a long time, and the wood is rotten and the bricks are broken. Even if it is rebuilt, it will not be a day''s work. I am afraid... If Zhengxi finds out, he will definitely attack. Prevent us from repairing this village..."
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, brushed his long beard, and said proudly: "Yuanxiong don''t need to worry too much about this matter, I have my own calculations..."
Wu Ban was stunned for a moment, seeing Guan Yu''s expression, and guessed a little bit in his heart.
Soon, An Han dispatched a large number of peasants and civil and stone materials, and transported them to Shiliang Village in Wulijian by truckload, and rebuilt the military village with great fanfare...
………………
The news that Guan Yu built a military stronghold at Shiliang was discovered by scouts soon after, and then reported back to Guanghan.
Xu Shu has been looking at the map these days and thinking about it. Although Zhao Wei, a local, fills in the gaps on the map, for Xu Shu who has never been to Sichuan and Shu, it is still very difficult to know what to do. difficult.
Wei Yan came to Xu Shu once and offered to bypass Guanghan and cross the mountainous area between Zitong and Fu County. Anyway, the distance from Chengdu is not Taiyuan. If the surprise attack is successful and Liu Zhang is captured in one fell swoop, the battle can be ended. Although the whole idea is beautiful, Xu Shu knows that this kind of surprise attack strategy cannot be repeated. In addition, the big city of Chengdu is not like a small county like Hanchang. Guan can also provide a certain amount of defensive power. Although it cannot be said that there is no possibility of directly capturing and killing Liu Zhang, the possibility is very small and it is not worth the risk.
In addition, Xu Shu still prefers orthodox combat, so he still prefers to defeat the Sichuan-Shu coalition forces on the frontal battlefield. Of course, only in this way, these local people in Sichuan and Shu will not have so many thoughts in the later stage...
Obtained purely by conspiracy, people will always feel that it is a coincidence, but after showing their strength, these Sichuan and Sichuan talents will weigh the gains and losses more, and they will not play tricks at every turn. It''s like Hanzhong is much more peaceful than Guanzhong now. Although there are also some roles of Zuo Ci Da Xianren and Da Xianren, Hanzhong people have really seen Zhengxi Bingfeng, and in the Sanfu area of ??Guanzhong, only Chang''an and Zuo Ci Part of Feng Yi was brought down by Zhengxi, and most of the rest of the area was directly attached later, so in the later stage, there were still people jumping and jumping, and it was relatively honest after being harvested for a circle.
The terrains of Sichuan, Shu and Guanzhong are too different. In Guanzhong, you only need to have some cavalry in a few key cities to directly control the entire Sanfu area of ??Guanzhong. It must be possible to arrive, but in Sichuan and Sichuan, the mountains are undulating. Except for the basin terrain in Dujiangyan area of ??Chengdu, the southern Sichuan area is not mentioned. It is just that whether it is Badong or Brazil, there are mountains and rivers to form a natural If there are too many troops stationed, the consumption will be more, and it will not be able to provide more food and grass to Guanzhong, and there is also the risk of being attacked at any time by the transportation team. Therefore, in this battle, if these Sichuan and Sichuan local snakes cannot Take it orally, and it is inevitable that it will get twice the result with half the effort in the later treatment.
So for Xu Shu, not only to win, but also to win beautifully, leaving people speechless.
The Jingzhou army rushed forward in Anhan and rebuilt the cottage in Wulijian. This behavior made Xu Shu very uncomfortable. how to respond…
From Guanghan to Anhan, there was still a certain distance, but there is an additional Shiliang Military Village in the Wuli Mountain Stream in the middle, so the distance is shortened invisibly, which means that if the Shiliang Military Village is built, Liu Bei These Jingzhou troops could attack the flanks at any time while Xu Shu was attacking in the direction of Chengdu.
You can’t let it go, but if you want to attack the Shiliang Army Village...
Xu Shu stared at the crooked pictographic line on the map.
Although it is said that General Fei Qian of Zhengxi has implemented map standards in Guanzhong and Bingbei, and has made maps of Guanzhong Sanfu and Bingbei to a certain extent, the maps of Sichuan and Shu can only be relied on by Zhao Wei. The ones provided are the main ones, and the maps used by Zhao Wei are those that require a high level of comprehension to understand.
That curved line, on the one hand, represents that the mountain road is not easy to travel, and on the other hand, it represents the water flow route in it. It kills two birds with one stone. It saves trouble for the person who draws the map, but it is difficult for the person who read the map. It may not be possible to see any problems from a curved line.
As for Shiliang Junzhai, there is an ink dot and two words on this line, "Shiliang".
"This is a conspiracy..." Xu Shu put down the map silently, and sighed, "It seems that under Liu Xuande, there are also capable people..." Although this is a very simple strategy, if it is played, it is obviously not good Fight, maybe there are traps set up early, if you don''t fight, this Shiliang village will become a hidden danger on the way forward.
Xu Shu pondered for a while, then called Zhao Wei, smiled, and said very relaxedly: "Now we are going to enter Sichuan, fearing that the Anhan and Shiliang bandit army will plagiarize the side, what can General Zhao do?"
"This... can be used to press the base directly, defeat the bandit army, and relieve the worries of the flanks..." Zhao Wei was a little strange, rolled his eyes twice, and came up with a very normal solution.
Xu Shu nodded, and said with a smile: "General Zhao is indeed brave and skilled in military formation. How about leaving this matter to General Zhao?"
"Huh?" Zhao Wei was taken aback.
Xu Shu glanced at Zhao Wei, and said, "The troops coming from Jingzhou are just remnants and weak soldiers... General Zhao''s men are all brave and brave. If you use the strong to attack the weak, you will definitely win a big victory! Besides, the terrain of Sichuan and Shu, General Zhao It is also very clear, and there is no danger of losing the way, General Zhao must not be humble..."
A few days ago, Zhao Wei boasted how powerful his soldiers were, how well-connected he was in Berkshire, and the Jingzhou soldiers were no threat. The implication was that Zhao Wei could handle it by himself without conquering the west...
At that time Xu Shu just smiled and didn''t go into details. After all, it is understandable that Zhao Wei wants to improve his status. However, it is understandable that it does not mean that Xu Shu will condone Zhao Wei''s behavior. Therefore, this time, taking the opportunity to beat him is also a normal operation.
Zhao Wei was tongue-tied, and the few words Xu Shu said were all his own. If he denies it now, wouldn''t it be slapping his own mouth? But the problem is that Zhao Wei really went to fight Liu Bei and other Jingzhou soldiers. Zhao Wei didn''t know what to do, so he said: "Mr. Liu Yizhou was besieged by tens of thousands of elite soldiers for a period of time, and Fang defeated the bandits... Now that the bandits are occupying this place, if we attack by force, I am afraid that we will lose a lot, and the gain will not be worth the loss..."
"Hmm..." Xu Shu nodded, "What should General Zhao think?"
Zhao Wei arched his hands and said, "The current plan is to build a stronghold at the mouth of Wulijian! In this way, if the bandits enter, they will lose their benefits. If they don''t enter, it''s not a worry. Wouldn''t it be more Good? As for the battle, Xu Shijun has orders, so I will naturally obey, but if I go to Wulijian Lizhai, the materials in the city will be allocated, and the people will be transferred..."
Xu Shu nodded, and said, "General Zhao is really far-sighted! It''s because I didn''t think carefully. If General Zhao was in Guanghan to coordinate ordnance and supplies, I would send another person to Shiliang..." Xu Shu had no intention of really letting Zhao Wei go. Go, if Zhao Wei really went there in a daze, Xu Shu would be even more worried, so seeing that what Zhao Wei said was exactly what he wanted, he pretended to think for a while, and agreed to Zhao Wei''s proposal suggestion.
Zhao Wei didn''t doubt that he was there, and seeing that he didn''t have to fight against Liu Bei in Jingzhou, he was relieved, and he said that he would strongly support the construction of the camp project, so that Xu Shu wouldn''t worry about it.
Xu Shu sent Zhao Wei out of the hall, smiled and said goodbye, then turned around and came back, "Come on, tell Wei Wenchang to come here!"
