Chapter 924: Siege Wei to save Zhao
According to the information that has been transmitted so far, the Jin army has mobilized almost 150,000 men and horses to launch a siege on Xindu, but these 150,000 men and horses are not all aimed at Xindu, about half of the troops are attacking Xindu, and the other half of the men and horses are deployed around Xindu, which is quite a bit of a siege to send reinforcements.

Of course, Sima Jun may not be able to have such a high strategic vision, his starting point should be to take Xindu first, such a troop configuration, is to ensure the preparation of taking Xindu, and divide about half of the troops and horses to deploy around Xindu, the purpose is to block the rescue of the Shu army to Xindu.
According to common sense, after the Shu army learned that Xindu was besieged, it would definitely go all out to rescue, at this time, the Jin army deployed around Xindu could play a role, Sima Jun's purpose was clear, and he only needed to drag the Shu army for a period of time, and the Jin army besieging Xindu could calmly take Xindu.
And the Shu army only broke through the defense line of the Jin army, in order to have the opportunity to relieve the siege of Xindu, Fu Tong and Luo Xian both thought that this was a more difficult thing, now the Jin army in the periphery of Xindu Chiyang, Fuliu, Wuyi and other places, is already a deep trench and high moat, ready for battle, if the Shu army attacked, it will inevitably outweigh the losses.
"Is the Great General considering abandoning Sindu? If you forcibly send troops to rescue, you will definitely fall into the trap of the Jin army, Xindu is currently only garrisoned by the Yang'an army, the strength is weak, it is difficult to hold on for a long time, rather than the Yang'an army is exhausted and then withdrawn, it is better to preserve the strength and withdraw from the battle earlier, so that the loss is smaller. Luo Xian proposed.
Liu Yin's military proposition has never paid attention to the gains and losses of one city and one place, if it is difficult to keep the letter, then Liu Yin will still consider releasing the letter.
"It's okay to give up Xindu, but now the Jin army is besieging the city on all sides, and in the absence of reinforcements, if the Yang'an army wants to forcibly break through, it will inevitably fall into the heavy encirclement of the Jin people, lose the cover of the city wall, and the disadvantage of the army will be highlighted, and the road to the Yang'an army's breakthrough will never be easy, even if the whole army is not destroyed, it is estimated that more than half of the people will be lost, so that the Yang'an army will be almost disabled. Withdrawing troops is also an art, and if you grasp it well, you can retreat with all your body, and if you don't grasp it well, you may even wipe out the whole army. Liu Yin said solemnly.
Fu Tong and Luo Xian nodded, Liu Yin's words they were very much in favor, now the Jin army is around Xindu, with ten times the strength of the Yang'an army, the Yang'an army with the tall city wall of Xindu, can reluctantly deal with it, but if you give up Xindu, the Yang'an army that forcibly breaks through will definitely be besieged by the Jin army, and it is more difficult than climbing to the sky if you can break through the siege with the strength of only one army of the Yang'an army.
"Is there a good plan for that propaganda?" Fu said.
If you want to rescue the Yang'an army, you must break the outer encirclement of the Jin army, and now according to the deployment of the Jin army, it is extremely difficult for the Shu army to break through the defense line of the Jin army.
"Siege Wei to save Zhao!" Liu Yin raised his eyebrows and said: "Now almost all the main forces of the Jin army are concentrated in the area of Xindu, the rear of Yecheng must be empty, if you want to relieve the siege of Xindu, you must make a fuss in the rear of the Jin army, only by encircling Wei and saving Zhao can you turn passive into active and turn the situation around." ”
"Wai Wei to save Zhao?" Fu Yan and Luo Xian were almost at the same time, but a relieved smile quickly appeared on their faces, and they said in succession: "Clever plan, wonderful plan." ”
Yecheng is in the rear of the Jin army, the Shu army attacked the city, but it was just a bluff, luring the Jin army back to aid Yecheng, if the Jin army is in the plan, it will definitely greatly reduce the pressure on the Xindu, the Shu army in the inside and outside of the combination, can lift the siege of Xindu.
Of course, if the Jin army ignores it, the Shu army might as well go straight to Yecheng, Yecheng is the rear base of the Jin army, and all the military supplies are piled up in Yecheng.
If you take Xindu to exchange for Yecheng, Sima Jun will definitely be 10,000 unwilling, which means that Sima Jun will definitely send troops back to Yecheng, so that the Shu army can easily mobilize the Kaijin army and create conditions for the next step to lift the siege of Xindu.
Liu Yin immediately made arrangements, except for the army that stayed in northern Hebei, most of the main forces of the Shu army would immediately go south to rescue Xindu.
The army that rescued Xindu was divided into two parts, one was that Fu Yan led the three armies of the left corps to march from Xiabo and approached Xindu, and the other route was the four corps of the right corps led by Luo Xian, passing through Julu and approaching Yecheng, while Liu Yin's middle corps moved to Xiaquyang and responded at any time.
Luo Xian's four armies are responsible for the protagonist of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", because these four armies are all cavalry, extremely fast, after going south from Gaoyang, Shu Xian led the army to drive all the way forward, in order to create a frame of the main force of the Shu army attacking Yecheng, Luo Xian is fanfare, and the momentum is all the way south.
With such a big movement, it was not easy not to attract the attention of the Jin army, and Sima Jun soon received a report that the Shu army's brigade attacked Yecheng and left.
Sima Jun's face turned pale suddenly, he never thought that Liu Yin would come to such a hand, the Jin army laid heavy troops around Xindu, just waiting for the Shu army to come to take the bait, once the Shu army fell into the siege of the Jin army, the Shu army would become very difficult, and as long as the rescue army of the Shu army could be severely defeated, the Shu army of the Xindu would completely lose confidence and hope, and abandoning the city and fleeing may be their best choice.
But under the siege of the Jin army, if the Shu army that abandoned the capital and left wanted to escape, there would be absolutely no hope.
Sima Jun was very satisfied with his careful layout, but Liu Yin did not play his cards according to common sense, and played the means of encircling Wei to save Zhao, although this method seemed very clumsy, but Sima Jun could not admit that Liu Yin's attack on Yecheng was indeed a complete disruption of his plan.
Yecheng is self-evident to the Jin army, Yecheng is not only a passage connecting Jizhou and Luoyang, but more importantly, Yecheng is piled up with almost eighty or ninety percent of the Jin army's grain, grass and logistics materials, once lost, the consequences are unimaginable.
Sima Jun had no choice but to withdraw part of the army besieging Xindu and move westward, trying to intercept the Shu army that was attacking Yecheng halfway. The letter couldn't be taken, and the Shu army came to copy the back road at this time, and Sima Jun's carefully prepared tactics were completely ineffective, and he was also anxious about it.
