Pang Tong bowed slightly when he heard this, and did not raise any objections to Liu Chan's arrangement, he also knew Deng Ai's ability.

Deng Ai can be said to be able to be civil and martial, not only to lead troops to fight, but also to manage the government and secure the people.

The kung fu of leading troops to fight, Deng Ai's skills are known to everyone, and in terms of governing the government and reassuring the people, Ming Confucian Hao Jing once said: The benefits of Wei and Jin Tuntian began in Zaoyi, became in Ren Jun, and finally Deng Ai.

Historically, during the period when Deng Ai was guarding Huainan, he raised troops and tuntian, and since then Huainan soldiers and horses have been self-sufficient in fighting against Wei, and there is no shortage of food and grass.

After talking about the situation in Jiangdong, Pang Tong turned his eyes to Wei and pointed to Si Li and said: "In fact, at present, Wei State has not completely withdrawn from Si Li, but only ceded Hongnong County and Henan Army, and Hedong County and Hanoi County north of the Yellow River have not ceded it.

Due to Guo Huai's softer means of relocating the people, the people of Sili moved more slowly, only crossed the Yellow River, and had not yet entered the state, and those people were temporarily arranged by Guo Huai in Kehedong and Hanoi.

There were already 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding Pubanjin in Hedong, and now the 30,000 Wei troops in Tongguan have also withdrawn to Hedong and Hanoi two counties, and are deployed at various ferries on the north bank of the Yellow River. At present, in these two places, the strength of Wei has reached more than 50,000 people. ”

Pang Tong said, and a courtier muttered: "I just don't know if Wei wants to resist the Yellow River and defend it, or if it plans to let the people go and then let these two counties out." ”

Sili originally had seven states, which were the three assistants of Guanzhong: Jing Zhaoyin, Feng Xu on the left, and Feng on the right. and Hedong County, Henan County, Hanoi County, and Hongnong County east of Tongguan.

In the early years, Sanfu merged with some counties in Liangzhou to form Yongzhou, and Sili only left the four counties of Hedong east of Tongguan. Of these four counties, Hongnong County and Henan County are south of the Yellow River, while Hedong County and Hanoi County are north of the Yellow River.

However, Wei did not give up all the four counties of Sili, but still retained Hedong County and Hanoi County on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Liu Chan listened to the words of the courtier, smiled and said: "It is naturally impossible for the Wei State to give up Hedong and Hanoi, Hedong is the barrier of the annexation of the state, once the east of the river is lost, our army can attack the annexation of the state from the flank. Wouldn't the Huguan Fortress of the state and the party lose its effect?

As for Hanoi, if it is lost, our army will go straight to the border of Wei County, Jizhou, Chaoge, you must know that Chaoge is only less than two hundred miles away from Yecheng, the new capital of Wei, if Wei gives up Hanoi, it will have to consider moving the capital again!

Therefore, Wei must leave these two counties as a strategic buffer. ”

"Weichen takes it for granted!" When the official heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red, Shi Shiran retreated, he was just an ordinary civilian official, but he didn't know anything about military affairs, and it was a joke to say this.

"Aiqing, go on!" Liu Chan pressed his hand to show that he didn't mind, and motioned for Pang Tong to continue.

Pang Tong nodded, looked at the map and continued: "As for Yanzhou, Wei has not given up all of it, and Wei still retains Taishan County in Yanzhou. ”

Liu Chan sat on the dragon chair, looked at the map hanging by His Royal Highness and said: "Taishan County is located in the northwest of Yanzhou, the terrain is steep, and it is the main road for Yanzhou to enter Qingzhou. If Taishan County is lost, our army can drive straight into Qingzhou.

The north side of Mount Tai is the Yellow River, the south side is the water, the Wei State left Taishan County, and the Yellow River and the Xuzhou River constitute a natural line of defense, each other is the horns, not only to keep Qingzhou not lost, but also to strengthen ties with Jiangdong, mutual strategy, hum, this Sima Yi is really cunning. ”

Pang Tong pointed to the Yellow River and continued: "Yanzhou and Jizhou face each other across the river, and at present, the Wei army is in Jizhou, along the Yellow River, a fortress has been established every twenty miles, and according to the detailed report, wolf smoke is stored in it. As soon as there is an enemy situation, the Wei army will light wolf smoke to inform the enemy.

And on the edge of the ferries everywhere, the Wei army had already begun to build the city, which was small in scale, but it was made of cement, sand and stone, impregnable, and it was more than enough to hoard thousands of soldiers and horses.

On the banks of the Yellow River on the border of Yanzhou alone, the Wei army hoarded 80,000 soldiers and horses. Together with the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the north of Sili and the 40,000 soldiers and horses in Taishan County, the Wei army deployed a total of 170,000 troops along the Yellow River to guard against our Han. ”

Fa Zheng groaned: "Although the Wei army retreated to the north of the Yellow River, it also shrank the battle line, and the troops became sufficient, with the help of the Yellow River as a barrier, and Taishan County has Mount Tai natural danger, if you want to attack Hebei, it is difficult!" ”

Don't look at the Yellow River is thousands of miles long, but the Yellow River is steep, the water is turbulent, and there are only a few ferries that can be used to cross the river.

Now that the Wei army is guarding the ferry, and building beacon towers every twenty miles along the coast, it is impossible for the Han army to cross the river, or even find a peaceful place to smuggle in.

If they risk crossing the river, the enemy will take the opportunity to attack halfway and will surely be defeated.

And Taishan County, there is also Taishan natural danger, and it is difficult to attack.

Now that Wei has retreated to Hebei and built the defense line like an iron pass, it is really troublesome to attack.

Liu Chan smiled and said: "At present, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sili and other places are still in ruins, this time I brought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus Yuzhou Deng Ai and Da Sima, there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed in these three states.

At present, the people of the three states have not settled down and cannot be self-sufficient, let alone supply food for soldiers and horses. Therefore, there will be no major war between our Han and Wei in a short period of time, so we should discuss the issue of defense first, and after recuperation and sufficient food and grass, it is not too late to attack Wei in a big way. ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, our army has a large number of soldiers and horses, and at present, the people of the three states are scarce, and most of them are old and weak, not many young and strong, relying on them to cultivate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to supply the needs of the army, and if it is too troublesome to transport grain from other states and counties."

Wechen thought that when the tuntian system was activated, in order to become self-sufficient as soon as possible, he could continue to use troops in less than two years. As for defense, Wei set up beacon towers along the Yellow River and cities by the ferry, and so did our army! ”

When a military general heard this, he objected: "Wei is now shrinking to Hebei, where does it dare to cross the river to attack my Han?" It's too much trouble to build a beacon, so why bother so much? All you need to do is station your troops at the various ferry crossings. ”

"General Wang's words are wrong!" When Pang Tong heard this, he immediately retorted: "Now that the Wei State has shrunk its front, there are nearly 200,000 available troops, which should not be underestimated. In recent years, although our army has won many battles, but the lion and the rabbit have also done their best, the Wei State has not been destroyed, and all soldiers and horses should not be taken lightly.

That Sima Yi was mad, and wanted to dig the Yellow River many times to cause the Yellow River to burst its banks to deal with my big man, and a person can often do unexpected things at the moment of life and death. Now that the destruction of the Wei State is imminent, they can do anything in order to protect the Wei State from destruction.

At this time, we must be more cautious and more vigilant, hmph, if we slack off a little, I am afraid that we will face a catastrophe! ”

Pang Tong is right, when a person is alive and dead, he can do anything. It's like a cowardly person, you often bully him, and one day if you bully him, maybe he will fight with you with a knife.

Although Wei is at a disadvantage now, it is a matter of time before the country falls, but the more times like this, the more we can't slack off. If there is any slackness, if you don't get the Wei State, you will have an absolute counter-killing.

Just like the Shu State in history, although Liu Adou surrendered, there were still a group of loyal courtiers like Jiang Wei, at that time, Jiang Wei still came up with a plan to restore the country, if it wasn't for Zhong Hui's lax behavior, it would have been a success for Wei.

However, although Jiang Wei's strategy failed, he still pulled Zhong Hui and Deng Ai, the two generals of the Wei State, to go down to Huangquan together.

"Bang Bang!" Liu Chan clapped his palms and said: "Pang Sikong is right, the more times like this, the more vigilant we must be, and we need to keep it in mind, and we must not slack off because the world is about to be unified." ”
