Chapter 963: The Mire

There are many place names called "Danyang" in this world, in addition to Danyang outside Wuguan, there is also a Danyang in Jiangdong, which is located in the southern part of Anhui and Nanjing in later generations.

Last year, after the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied this place from Yuzhang to the east, cut Yuzhang and several counties of Wu County, and the county was located in Wanling (Xuancheng, Anhui), but the army was stationed in Jinling, the new city of Linjiang in the north, the center of this city is the stone city, it is the stone castle built by the king of Chuwei after breaking the Yue, it stands steeply on the riverside, the river tide can be heard beating the embankment at night, and because it is adjacent to Jinling Mountain, it is called Jiangling.

At the end of November of the first year of the regency, Jinling City, not only Danyang County guarded the Anpu here, but even the Lou Boat General Wei Yang and Ganyue Marquis Wu Rui also came from Wu County and Huiji, and the Jiangdong Triumvirate met to discuss how to deal with the westward advance of the Chu army......

"At the end of September last year, our army entered Donghai County, surrounded Chu and general Yuzi in Xiapi, and Xiang Ji returned with elite soldiers, so that General Pu attacked, defeated our Eastern Navy, killed one Colonel Yue, died 3,000, and the army retreated."

The reason why it was able to preserve its strength was due to the fact that the Huaisi water traffic was controlled by the Jiangdong Boat Division in Weiyang.

But on land, Wu Rui was not Xiang Yu's opponent at all, and the Yue soldiers under his command were already mixed, and they had no intention of fighting to the death, purely for the reward of money and silk. With this retreat, Jiangdong advanced by land and water, and the adventurous attempt to take the capital of Pengcheng in Chu was declared a failure, so they occupied the southern part of Donghai County for two months, cut all the rice that should be cut, and transported it back to Jiangdong by ship......

"It's a pity that Xiang Ji never crossed the river to the east." Wei Yang regretted very much that this was a trap set by them.

The base camp was almost ended, Huainan was broken, how could Xiang Ji stand this kind of anger, in early October, he led his division to arrive at Wujiang Pavilion in Liyang County, looking at Jiangdong, there was a tendency to cross the water to attack.

But in the end, Xiang Ji was persuaded by the old pavilion chief of Wujiang Pavilion, saying that on weekdays, there are always boats patrolling on the river, but today there is not a single one, I am afraid that it is deliberate, that is, to wait for the Chu army to cross halfway, or surround them after landing, and then the soldiers under the command of Shangzhu State, even if everyone has the courage of a hundred people, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive, is this to abandon the entire Chu State?

Xiang Ji then dispelled the idea of revenge on Jiangdong, at this time Huainan was plundered, the grain withered, the army and the people were short of food, Xiang Ji then let Ji Bu guard Huainan, General Yu guarded the East China Sea, and he took Yingbu and other soldiers tens of thousands to the west, and the soldiers pointed directly at the base camp of Heifu's start, Hengshan and Nanjun, and wanted to feed the war with war, and cut the meat from the two places to stop the loss......

"This is going westward and wide, too big, breaking several counties, threatening the safety of Yicheng, Nanjun and Hengshan Dingzhuang are all in Guanzhong, and Weijun Shou sent people to Jiangdong to ask for help."

One person got the Taoist chicken dog ascended to heaven, Heifu's elder brother Wei was shocked to collect and surrender the copper green mountain, capture Hengshan County, and also mixed with the position of the county guard, but to talk about military and political talents, can only be regarded as mediocre, last year's southern battlefield, he took the Hengshan soldiers to the east, relying on the large number of people, to save the Anpu who was defeated by Yingbu, originally wanted to follow the plan, continue to march to Shouchun, but was frustrated by Ji Bu who came from Chen Dichi to help, and could only be satisfied with occupying several counties north of Peng Lize, this time Xiang Yu went west, and lost all his brains.

"Hengshan is the lip of Nanjun, if the lip is lost, the tooth is cold, it will be saved!"

In Anpu's view, the reason why the Northern Expeditionary Army did not perfectly realize the regent's plan last year and captured Huainan was all his fault, and he, a veteran who had been with the regent for more than ten years, lost to a prisoner with a dark face, Yingbu, and almost lost his life, which was really a great shame.

"The Anjun Shou said that it is good, Xiang Ji is trapped in Huainan with little grain, and if he wants to move his troops, he will eat in Hengshan and Nanjun.

As the leader of the second generation of the children of the old department of Heifu Nanjun, Wei Yang was well educated under the care of Heifu, and read some history books on the art of war.

The Wu army fought against Chu, and always adopted the strategy of fighting for Huaishang and attacking the northern part of Chu along Huaixi, but Sun Wu changed it to a strategy of going straight to the Jianghan region through Baiju, and stopped boats and heavy equipment at Huaiwei; The main army, supported by Tang and Cai, approached the Jianghan region and threatened Yingdu.

"In the first battle of Baiju, the Wu army won more with less, chased the Chu army from Dabie to Xiaobie, suffered countless casualties, and then crossed the Han into Ying, almost destroying the Chu State."

And what the Wu people did in Yingdu is still spread in Nanjun, such as wanton burning and looting, obscene the harem of the king of Chu, and even the story of Wu Zixu digging up the tomb of King Chuping and whipping the corpse......

An Pu bowed: "Yes, if Xiang Ji is admitted to Nanjun, he will definitely take revenge and turn Yicheng and Jiangling into mounds." ”

Under Heifu's intentional publicity, the name Xiang Ji has been associated with the "Man-Eating Demon King" and "City Slaughtering Maniac".

"I have raised thousands of Danyang soldiers in the local area, which can be the vanguard and save the danger of Hengshan!"

After Anpu's last defeat, he also learned from the pain, and after knowing the shame, he was brave, and immediately replenished the army after returning, trying to avenge the shame.

This Danyang area for a hundred years Chu more mixed, the mountains are dangerous and the land is poor, the people are more fruitful, the vulgar martial arts practice war, noble strength, its ascension to the danger, to the thorns of the thorns, if the fish go to the abyss, the ape of the Tengmu also, barefoot can also walk in the mountains and forests like flying.

But Wei Yang didn't finish his words, he shook his head and said: "Because of this, I can't send all my troops to rescue Hengshan ......."

An Pu was stunned: "Why? ”

Wei Yang not only received a good education, but also had five or six years of experience in the military, when he was in Jiaodong, he fought Canghaijun, and when he was in Lingnan, he cooperated with Han Xin to fight the last battle to eliminate Luo Yue, and even launched the soldiers of the building boat, across thousands of miles to attack Huiji, into Huaisi, across the river.

As for the way of employing soldiers, at least to the extent of "seeing pigs run".

He said: "The art of war, I want to fight, although the enemy has a high base and a deep ditch, and those who have to fight with me will be saved. ”

"In the battle of Baiju in the past, Chu ordered Yin Nangwa to lead his troops eastward and confront the Wu army and the Han River. Zuo Sima Shen Yinrong thought that the Wu people came from afar and could not last, so there was no need to rush to a decisive battle, and let him take the army of Shen Xi to detour behind the enemy. Nangwa along the Han River and the Wu army, Shen Yinrong raided Huaiwei, destroyed the Wu army's boats, and also plugged the tunnel, Zhiyuan, and the three passes of the underworld, so cut off its grain route, and attacked from both sides, and it will be able to win a big victory! ”

"However, Nangwa was jealous of his ability, and relied on the strength of the Chu army, and actually crossed the Han to the east, but was lured by the Wu army, and was defeated in Baiju, and the situation was eroded."

"I expect that the westward march is to plunder the grain of Hengshan and take revenge for last year's Huainan campaign, and secondly, because I can't cross Jiangdong, I want to lure me to the west to help, and fight a decisive battle in Jiangxi, if our army is defeated, not only can we not keep Hengshan County, but even Jiangdong will be turbulent."

For Xiang Ji, it is necessary to adopt a strategy to avoid war, this is what Wei Yang learned from last year's war, and he doesn't think that An Pu and others can fight with this person.

Wei Yang said: "Xiang's army is only 20,000 people, although there are not many soldiers in Nanjun and Hengshan, but they are far more than that, enough to hold the west of Hanshui." What's more, unlike the Wu army back then, Xiang Ji did not have the help of Tang and Cai, and the lone army went deep into the enemy territory and could only prey on the spot. Hengshan County is narrow, the reason why the county is established is because of Tonglu Mountain, because of Wuchang camp, not in Yicheng, as long as my uncle can move the people of Yicheng to the south of the Yangtze River, from then on to the west, until Hanshui, Yunmeng, hundreds of miles are empty. ”

Since the battle of Anlu two years ago, all the Anlu people moved to the south of the Yangtze River, and that area has become a no-man's land, on the eve of the Northern Expedition, Heifu asked the villagers to move to Wuchang to farm, with the protection of the river and the boat division......

Even if Xiang Ji ran to the edge of the Han River, he couldn't find a grain of food, if he went further, if he wanted to fight the autumn wind in Jiangling City, not only would the back road be cut off by the boat division, but the reinforcements in Guanzhong should also return to Nanjun.

At that time, Xiang Ji was attacked on his back, and they even had a chance to completely annihilate this person!

"But Hengshan Shou asked for support, Wei Yang, he is Uncle Ru." Anpu still hesitated.

Wei Yang didn't think so, he obeyed his middle father's words, but only regarded his uncle as an elder: "Uncle is a civil official, not a general, we need to make judgments according to the situation of the war, and wait for the letter of Nanjun Lijun, if he also asks Jiangdong to help, then the situation is really dangerous." ”

At this time, Wu Rui, who had not spoken for a long time, proposed: "Why don't our army divide our troops into three places first, I will continue to attack the East China Sea with Yue pawns, and Wei Junwei will attack Shouchun with a building boat, and An Junshou will adopt Shen Yinrong's strategy back then and detour to the rear of Xiang Ji." As long as Shouchun is in a hurry, as long as the East China Sea is erosive, and the counties in the rear have fallen one by one, Xiang Ji will face a choice, or continue to go west, or withdraw troops and return to the east, no matter how he chooses, Jiangdong has done what it should do! ”

"What's the matter, isn't this a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao?"

Wei Yang glanced at Wu Rui meaningfully, he had always been on guard against this person, this time the two had similar views, but it was strange, so he said:

"That's right, whether he stays or retreats, Jiangdong has played a leading role."

Heifu once wrote to tell Wei Yang that Jiangdong is the knife behind the enemy, he doesn't know when you will attack, you must always be vigilant, and contain the enemy, this is the greatest value of Jiangdong's existence.

"I don't want this knife to be plunged into the heart of the enemy at once."

"Just look at it, knife by knife, again and again, keep bleeding it, making the heavy pupils itch unbearably!"

This is the biggest reliance for Wei Yang to make such a decision, and he feels that he has comprehended the overall strategy of his middle father.

"If we misjudge, then we are sinners of Nanjun."

Anpu still failed to consider things from the perspective of the overall situation, indulging in the past failures and unable to get out, if this time because he did not return to help, causing Hengshan to lose again, he may not have the face to see the regent again.

"But if we are right......

As a junior, Yu Yang poured wine for An Pu and Wu Rui, and said with a smile:

"Then the southern battlefield will become a quagmire, let Xiang Ji fall here, the deeper he sinks, the longer he sinks, the middle father can send a large army to the east, sweep the Central Plains, and dominate the world as soon as possible!"
