653. The decisive battle of Luoyang
Tian Danjue's retreat is not inevitable, although this will cause heavy losses to the Qi State, and it will be a big defeat, but at least it can keep the Yanzhou Legion alive.
When the army retreats to Jixi, it can also gather resources to hold Jixi, so that the coalition army cannot set foot in the territory of Qi State, and fight a stalemate battle with the coalition army, until the coalition army retreats, or collapses, then it is a victory for Qi State.
There is a certain amount of truth in the ideas of both sides, Tian Dan looked at Sun Bin and Qi Xiaobai, and he didn't know who to support.
And Qi Xiaobai looked at it and said: "This battle is related to the majesty of our Qi country, although the coalition army has many generals and is still fighting locally, but since the conquest of our Qi country, how can it experience a big defeat?" ”
"I believe that the Qi State can create a miracle again, defeat the coalition army, and complete the posture of the hegemon!" Qi Xiaobai looked at the generals and said.
Qi Xiaobai didn't want to give up the attack and retreat in such a humiliating way, but wanted to bravely start a decisive battle with the other party.
If he retreats, he Qi Xiaobai can survive, and the core generals of Qi and the core soldiers can also survive, but there will be a lot of evacuations, and the Yanzhou Legion sacrificed his life for him and those core generals to die in battle.
Although the war will also die, it is a heroic battle, a heroic killing of the enemy, and a sacrifice for the Qi country, but if it is a retreat, it is only to protect those high-level fools of the Qi country, sacrifice.
"The minister is willing to support Your Majesty!" Tian Dan was silent and said, although what Sun Bin said was not unreasonable, but Tian Danjue's battle was also a battle that determined the future status of Qi State.
If they retreat like this, the myth of the Qi State will be shattered, and even if they retreat to Jixi, the morale of the Yanzhou Army will drop.
Even if he can defend Jixi for many years, then the prestige of Qi will be gone, and Tian Danjue's stubborn defense of Jixi for many years, and the stalemate with the other party for many years, the other party will automatically retreat, this is just a theoretical plan.
You retreat to Jixi, and the morale of the Yanzhou army has been greatly reduced, can you really hold Jixi? Moreover, Jixi is the land of Wei, and the land of Song has not been completely integrated into the culture of Qi.
You have been in a stalemate with each other for many years, will the people of Wei and Song will be opposed?
Once it is reversed, how should this Qi country face it? Can Jixi hold on?
Although the Qi army is very powerful and the weapons and equipment are the most sophisticated, they are not afraid of a head-on confrontation with the other party, they are afraid of internal problems.
From a strategic point of view, Jixi is indeed a very good defensive fortress, and it is not impossible to sit on the big checkpoint of Jixi and refuse to defend the west of the princes.
But Jixi and Song Di had not been given to Qi for a long time, and they didn't have much respect for Qi in their hearts.
The so-called princely general Xiangning has a kind of thing, if there are a few people who are unwilling to be ordinary, stand up at this time, and do things in these two places, then there will be internal problems, and this Jixi and Song land will be easily attacked.
When the Qi State was attacking the city, it was not undone to attack the city inside, a city and a fortress, how strong the outside was, once there was a problem inside, it collapsed instantly.
And Jixi is the kind of place that looks very solid on the outside, but is dilapidated on the inside, and Sun Bin thinks that sticking to Jixi is good from a strategic point of view, but he doesn't see the inside of Jixi.
Tian Dan's support, Sun Bin has nothing to say, after all, Qi Xiaobai also thinks that a decisive battle is going to be made, so what Qi has to do next will definitely be a decisive battle with the coalition army.
Sun Bin didn't say anything anymore, all he had to think about now was to plan how the Qi Kingdom would win from this battle.
Tian Dan looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Your Majesty, since we are going to have a decisive battle, then we must quickly make a plan for a decisive battle!" ”
"If we have set up our positions now, the decisive battle will definitely be worthy of this coalition army, but now we have been broken by their surprise troops, and we have just stabilized, and we are forming a siege on the other side, but the opponent's large army suddenly attacked and had a counter-encirclement trend!"
"With the intention of the ministers, we will twist the internal Naoya legion internally, and attack the opponent's main legion externally!" Sun Bin looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Sun Bin: "How to twist inside, how to attack outside?" ”
"Besiege Naoya, let it be cut off from food and grass, so as to hold on to the external attack!" Sun Bin looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"But we must not eat the legion of the teeth, as long as we don't eat the legion of the teeth, the other party will always concentrate on us and break the breakthrough, and as long as we don't have a breakthrough, this war will fall into a protracted one!" Sun Bin looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"Wouldn't we, then, also be the turtles in the urn of the coalition forces? Aren't we still being strangled by the coalition forces? Qi Xiaobai looked at Sun Bin and said with a puzzled face.
"Your Majesty, if we eat the Naoya legion, then we will indeed be the turtle in the urn, but if we don't break it, the other party will always have a breakthrough, they will continue to solve the Naoya legion, as long as we bite the other party's big bite at the moment when the opponent's breakthrough expands, break through the opponent's encirclement, we are organizing a counteroffensive, drive it out of the plain, and retreat to the land of Luoyang, we will win!" Sun Bin looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai nodded: "Then according to what the general said, encircle the Naoya Army, but besiege but not attack!" ”
At the moment when such a war is going on, once a plan appears, it must be decided quickly and decisively, either directly denied or directly agreed, and must not be repeatedly thought about and discussed.
Otherwise, by the time the discussion is over, I'm afraid the daylily will already be cold.
Then Qi continued the original plan and surrounded the Naoya legion, and Qi took out a part of the legion to start fighting against the main force of the coalition that attacked.
After the Naoya Legion learned that the Qi State was still going to encircle and suppress him, he clenched his fists and was a little angry: "Is this Qi State going to die and pull a cushion?" ”
"General, we must strive to break through the siege and join forces with the coalition forces inside and outside, and destroy the plan of the Qi army!" A general looked at Nao Ya and said.
"Of course, I don't need you to say it, I know it!" Nao Ya snorted coldly.
Naoya is attacking the siege of the Qi State from within, and the encirclement of the Qi State will be achieved about tomorrow.
And the outside is attacking the outside of the Qi country, and it seems that they want to break through the external power of the Qi country, and come to the inside and the outside.
At this time, one of the main generals of the coalition army, 'Han Shijie', was on his horse: "This Qi country thinks that we should cooperate with the outside and exterminate the Qi army!" ”
"General, isn't that so?" A coalition general looked at Han Shijie and said with a puzzled face.
"Of course not, if we do this, then the initiative will be in the hands of Qi State, and then the outcome will be negotiated!" Han Shijie replied lightly, and the general on the side said.
