Chapter 237: The Battle of Runan [5]
Of course, Zhang Liao will not be in Chengfu City, and he will not wait in Chen Guo without moving.
In the process of Gao Shun sending troops from Liang State to the south with great fanfare, Chen Guo's internal transfer of troops was also in full swing, but the actions were more secretive, and many of the military orders received by the school captain department were not to fight south, but to train soldiers and horses very normally on weekdays, but many soldiers and horses stationed everywhere received military orders to move south almost at the same time.
Some of the captain's department is the entire transfer, some are two songs led by Jun Sima in a captain's department, and some are just transferred to the captain and one department, these messy transfers will not be conspicuous anywhere, but they are summarized in Zhang Liao's eyes...... He obtained an army of tens of thousands of troops with great speed.
The redeployment of troops was the result of careful planning by the calculating staff, and when these troops were gathered together, they were only briefly reorganized into twelve neat captains' departments, of which there were even three captains with five curves of strength.
Since ancient times, the old saying that the two armies fought against each other and the grain and grass came first are well remembered, but there is also another sentence that is not widely circulated - the Ming monarch is a virtuous general, so he moves and wins, and the success comes from the many, and the prophet also. The prophet shall not be taken from ghosts and gods, nor from things, nor from the degree, but from men, and from those who know the feelings of the enemy.
The person who said this was Sun Wu. In this way, the military theory of the use of the room is introduced, and when it comes to the use of the room, the Cao family is far earlier than the Yan family to use. As early as when Yanbei was still illiterate, Cao Cao annotated Sun Tzu's Art of War in the secluded courtyard in the countryside of Qiaoxian County, and his new book was a masterpiece of the art of war, not to mention his understanding of the art of war.
The envoy is a room, and the temple of the Yan family is also a room, but Yanbei is more willing to put the responsibility of the temple Zhonglang on the governance rather than military affairs, so most of the Yan's military affairs still rely on scouts, so the two sides used to fight for Yanzhou in the process of the Yan clan envoy slightly gained the upper hand, and in the last land of Runan, the Yan envoy appeared to be powerless, but the Cao envoy shined, so that Zhang Liao even did not so decisive in the dispatch of troops.
The Eastern Han Dynasty came to the step of chaos in the world, which was very sad for both the people and the princes. The people are displaced, their heads are in the trees, and their intestines are in the ground, so naturally there is no need to say much; But what about the princes who have survived to this day? The scholars were originally models in the world, and the vast majority of them were nobles of the world, the great general He Jin Kaifu, recruiting the world's capable people with lofty ideals, and the most outstanding young people in the states - those who had no worries about food and clothing, who had studied the scriptures and righteousness since childhood, practiced archery and horses, and abided by morality, went to the imperial court for political ideals and became among the shogunate.
Their fate was not good, most of them did not escape the long palace coup, only a few people, and the few who survived in the end, are famous in history, and many more died in the coup.
Many of them have a good family background like Cao Cao, who is rich and tens of millions of dollars to reach the court, and the so-called political ideal is also to hope to be on one side to educate the people or expedition to the Western Regions to make immortal achievements, but the fission of the world in just a few years has become what it is today.
Why did Cao Cao proofread Sun Tzu's Art of War? It is because of the controversy between modern and ancient literature. Where will future generations remember the debates of modern and ancient literature, and only regard the young Cao Cao as a military strategist who admired the art of war.
But it also improved Cao Cao's understanding of the art of war and laid the groundwork for the new book.
The art of war pays attention to five things and seven strategies, Zhang Liao knows very well that they have some gaps with Cao's army in this regard, so they make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and even let the enemy envoy be used by him, and drive the enemy envoy to need an opportunity, and this opportunity is the time that the rainstorm brings to Zhang Liao.
Using the manipulation drill to deceive the enemy's envoy who was ambushing in the land of Chen Liang could delay him for a few days at most, and during this time it was enough for Zhang Liao's troops to reach the expected southward attack. This was followed by the blockade of various important places, and only then began to transport the baggage.
Zhang Liao is in the west, the west of Runan, his target is Ruyang in the middle of the northwest of Runan, which is the closest city to Chen County, and it is also the most convenient transportation area in the west of Runan.
The roads extending in all directions in Ruyang determine that it can get the support of the surrounding counties as quickly as possible when encountering the enemy, and the road situation in the east of Runan is different, the west of Runan is concentrated in the county seventy percent of the fields, the road is extremely easy, if a place is warned, at most one day can be sent reinforcements, can call for nearly ten cities within a radius of 100 miles, and can mobilize tens of thousands of troops in a blink of an eye.
But Zhang Liao must pass through here, and only through here can he lead his troops all the way south until he faces Ruyin City across Yingshui.
Of course, Xiang County in the south of Chen County can also reach Ruyin, but that is not a good choice for Zhang Liao, where the water city that guards Yingshui and has a complete moat can often reduce the combat power of stone artillery to the greatest extent, so Zhang Liao chose Ruyang and staged another battle of bombardment of the city!
"Ruyin's soldiers, Cao Mengde is adjustable?" When the news reached Zhang Liao, it had been two days, and hundreds of scouts were sent to Ru Nan to spy on the military situation in Ruyin, and less than ten people could come back alive, these scouts walked along the river, running in the starry night, which brought Zhang Liao the most wanted information, "Return to the general, General Gao's battle in Cheng's father shook Ruyin, two days ago the night Cao Jun secretly sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to the east to help, the leader was a young general, with the banner of the Cao family, it should be the clan." ”
"In this way, Ruyin is a little empty." Zhang Liao pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked the scout, "How did you come back?" ”
"Cao Jun sent people to send messages to various places on the night of sending reinforcements, hundreds of horses ran out of the city, and then the people from all over the city converged, we were wrapped in the crowd all the way to the north, and when we encountered obstacles, we only said that they were the people of the nearest Xiang County, and they left their registration cards in the panic, and they were able to return."
The wall is clear, Zhang Liao said secretly in his heart, and then sent someone to recruit Cheng Lian, and said about the affairs of Runan, saying: "Tomorrow, you will lead troops to attack and disturb Xiang County, Ruyin is not empty enough, it is best to find an opportunity to lead their defenders out of the city to fight, so that Ruyin can know about the war in Xiang County...... After the battle, float the corpses of the enemy down the river, and then go all the way south, the scouts are farther away, as long as Ruyin sends reinforcements, and if you meet you, they will retreat north. ”
"Order the armies of all departments, and in two days, enter the siege of Ruyang!"
