Chapter 559 Soldiers and Horses Change Defense

"Ridiculous!" Fa Zheng will be retribution, but he will not give face to these two courtiers, he sneered: "Now that my Han soldiers are winning, and the momentum is unmatched for a while, the Wei State can only survive.

Although the Tong Pass has not been lowered, the Wei army can only sit in the pass and never dare to send troops to attack.

As for the northern Hu people, they are just a group of rats, and when my Han was strong, they didn't dare to make the slightest move.

It's just that I took advantage of the civil strife in my Han Dynasty to occupy my Dahan Prefecture County, and this move of the capital is just to recover the lost territory. If left unattended, the border troubles will never stop.

Although Chang'an is far away from Yizhou, Yizhou has been stable for more than ten years, and there will be no war at all. On the contrary, if Chengdu is still the national capital, it is difficult to take care of Guanzhong.

As for Jingzhou, on the surface, it seems to be a long way from Guanzhong, but as long as Nanyang is taken, there can be a military pass, and it will only take a few days to go back and forth.

As for the sparse population and the poverty of the people, as long as Chang'an is the capital and operated, it will prosper and multiply in a few years. ”

Zhang Fei shouted when he heard this: "Well said, Tongguan, Nanyang, and the Hu people in the north are not to worry, the eldest brother has never forgotten the old capital during his lifetime, and now that Chang'an has been lowered, he has not moved the capital to Chang'an, when will he stay?" ”

"Not bad!" Guan Yu nodded, stroked his long hair and said: "Now that Wuguan has been lowered, Nanyang is no longer worried, Weichen asked for orders to return to Jingzhou and lead Jingzhou soldiers and horses to attack Fancheng, Your Majesty only needs to send a cavalry out of Wuguan and go around to the rear of Nanyang to attack the Wei army's grain road."

Weichen promised that he could go down to Fancheng within three months, and if he didn't win, please behead the general. ”

Liu Chan smiled when he heard this: "Second uncle, let the matter of attacking Nanyang go for the time being, and this matter should not be rushed." ”

"Yes!" Guan Yu returned to the shift.

Zhuge Liang stood up at this moment and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in the long run, if my Han wants to dominate the world and take Chengdu as the capital, it is not a long-term plan after all. Now that Chang'an has fallen, it is natural to move the capital to Chang'an.

Although Tongguan is not down, but Huayin is connected to the Yellow River in the north and Huashan in the south, only need to expand Huayin, and hoard heavy troops in Huayin, which can be the eastern barrier of Guanzhong.

As for the northern Hu people, there is no need to worry, Budugen occupies the north of Guanzhong, the northern land of the former Han Dynasty, Shangjun, Xihe and other places, although the strength is not weak, but the central Xianbei leader Kebineng located in the upper valley is not weaker than Budugen, and has a grudge against Budugen, and is not as pro-Wei as Budugen.

His Majesty only needs to send Kebineng, promise heavy benefits, and let him attack Budugen, and His Majesty can take advantage of the attack on both sides to subdue the lost territory, and the northern Hu can be calmed.

In this way, moving the capital to Chang'an has no worries. ”

Fa Zheng and others only talked about the pros and cons of moving the capital to Chang'an, but Zhuge Liang proposed a solution to the disadvantages.

"Not bad!" Liu Chan nodded and agreed with Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

Immediately, Liu Chan said: "I have the intention of moving the capital, but Chang'an is dilapidated, and the city wall outside the city has not been completed, so the matter of moving the capital cannot be rushed."

At Zeguanzhong, our army's defense line has moved eastward, and the defense line of this force must also change.

Therefore, the top priority now is to mobilize troops and horses to defend the Guanzhong and complete the construction of the outer city wall. After these are done, the capital can be officially moved to Chang'an. ”

Originally, the Han Dynasty had 50,000 soldiers and horses in Longyou, 50,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and 50,000 cavalry in Liangzhou.

Coupled with the 100,000 resident soldiers and horses in Yizhou, as well as the defenders in Langzhong, Yangpingguan, Nanzhong, and Shangyong, the soldiers and horses in various places add up to nearly 400,000.

But now that Guanzhong, Longyou, and Hanzhong have been taken, they are no longer on the front line, so it is necessary to dispatch troops and horses and rearrange the defense line.

For example, Zhang Fei has always been stationed in Langzhong before, and the reason why Zhang Fei was stationed in Langzhong was because Jingzhou was not safe at that time, and Zhang Fei's 20,000 soldiers and horses were in response to Jingzhou.

And now that Jingzhou has sufficient troops, since Liu Chan has decided to move the capital to Chang'an, Zhang Fei will not play the slightest role if he is still stationed in Langzhong.

Another example is Zhang Ren in Hanzhong, because Hanzhong was not down in the past, Hanzhong would be threatened, so Hanzhong has always had heavy troops, but now that Guanzhong has been taken, there is no need to set up heavy troops in Hanzhong.

If Zhang Ren was not a loyal minister, Liu Chan moved the capital to Chang'an, but Zhang Ren had a heavy army in Hanzhong, if he went south to Yizhou, he would become the lord of Xichuan.

The rearrangement of the defense line is to fight reasonably and defend the pass, and secondly, it can also prevent the generals from supporting their own troops.

In this regard, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang had a discussion, Liu Chan already had a plan in his heart, he pondered for a while and said: "I brought 50,000 soldiers and horses from Yizhou in this Northern Expedition, and 100,000 soldiers and horses from Hanzhong and Longyou also came.

In this battle, our army lost more than 10,000 people, most of which were casualties in dealing with Cao Zhen, most of the elite I brought from Yizhou, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong and Longyou were well preserved.

So, Zhang Ren! ”

"The minister is here!" Zhang Ren gave up his hand.

Liu Chan ordered: "You can send 10,000 soldiers and horses back to Hanzhong, hand them over to Yang Ren as commander, and Yang Ren will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Hanzhong."

As for the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses remaining in Guanzhong, they are divided into two parts, one is 30,000 and the other is 10,000, of which 30,000 soldiers and horses are still under your command, sitting in Wuguan, preparing for my attack on Nanyang in the future! As for the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses, they were sent to Huayin. ”

Zhang Ren gave his hand to the order: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Liu Chan continued: "The 50,000 Longyou soldiers and horses led by Deng Ai also sent back 10,000 people, and the remaining 40,000 were divided into two parts, of which 30,000 were still commanded by Deng Ai and Zhang Bao to guard Feng Xu and guard against the Hedong Wei army, and the other 10,000 soldiers and horses were sent to Huayin to garrison.

In this way, Huayin has 20,000 soldiers and horses, Wei Yan, Huang Xu, you two are responsible for commanding 20,000 soldiers and horses, guarding Huayin.

Of my 50,000 soldiers and horses, there are only 40,000 left, and they will stay in Chang'an to garrison! Gong Wei Chang'an. ”

"Wechen obeys!" The generals will take the command.

Liu Chan said again: "Previously, the great Sima offered a plan, let me send the envoy Ke Bineng, and asked him to attack Budugen and subdue the lost land, north of Guanzhong, the territory is vast, and if you want to subdue the lost land, it is not a day's work, you need to be fully prepared, and to deal with the cavalry, you have to use cavalry."

Now in Liangzhou, there are still 45,000 cavalry, and some can be mobilized to come over, one is to defend the north of Guanzhong, and the other is to prepare for the future attack on Budugen and regain the lost territory.

Pang De, I appointed you as the governor of Liangzhou, Liangzhou can leave 20,000 cavalry to deter the Qiang, and the remaining 25,000 soldiers and horses will be sent to Xinping and handed over to Ma Chao to lead.

As for Yangping Pass, there is no need for heavy troops, Wudu is under the rule of Longyou, governed by Jiang Wan, and Yangping Pass is under the jurisdiction. ”

Pound gave up his hand and ordered: "The last general obeys!" ”
