"Instead of retreating?" Fu Yan and Luo Xian were obviously stunned, and shouted out loudly, both with shocked faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The reason why they were very surprised was that the strategy proposed by Liu Yin was quite incredible, at present, the Huns were pressing the border, leaving not much room for the Shu army to choose, nothing more than two ways to fight or retreat, but Liu Yin proposed a third way at the moment, not to retreat but to advance! "In"? This is very puzzling, how to get in? Could it be that the Shu army really has a third way to go now?

Liu Yin pointed to the map and said: "Liu Yuan's real intention in advancing north this time is to force our army to fight a decisive battle with it in the area of Jinzhong, and now from the comprehensive consideration of the allocation of troops on both sides of the enemy and us, the location and battlefield situation, our army is completely at a disadvantage, that is to say, the probability of our army winning this battle is less than thirty percent, so we can't fight this battle, and we can't afford it." What should I do if I can't fight? I'm afraid that we will only have to retreat, if we retreat, then all the achievements we have made since the eastward crossing will be zero, and all the previous achievements will be wasted, and nothing will be gained, or even worse. What we can think of, Liu Yuan must also be able to think of, if our pace falls into Liu Yuan's calculations, then the situation can only become more and more passive. ”

Fu Yi said: "In this way, Wenxuan, you must have a mature idea, you might as well talk about it." ”

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "The art of war is cloudy: surprise, unpreparedness." Now that the Huns are attacking from the north to the south, they will definitely notice the westward retreat route of our army, but if our army goes east, it will definitely surprise Liu Yuan, and it will also completely disrupt the deployment of the Huns. ”

"To the east?" Luo Xian frowned and questioned: "Has the general thought that if our army goes east, the entire logistics supply line will be cut off by the Huns, and the hundreds of thousands of troops will have no food, grass and baggage, how will the next battle be fought?" ”

Liu Yin said with an unmoving voice: "If our army continues to fight in groups, the logistics supply is indeed a difficult problem, so I suggest that after the troops advance eastward, the troops will be divided into three routes, all the way east to Jizhou, enter Changshan, Zhongshan, Zhaoguo, Hejian, Julu counties to fight, all the way north to You, Dai, fight on the border of Xinxing, Yanmen, and Youzhou, and the other way south to Shangdang, and fight in Shangdang County and Hanoi County. The north and south roads are both mountainous, which is suitable for our infantry to move, and the east road enters Jizhou, which should be dominated by cavalry.

"Although the Xiongnu annexed the four states of Hebei, Qingdao, and You, they did not completely control these areas, these areas, not only the army of the Jin State, but also a large number of Han people, these are all we can use as Austrian aid, our goal is to establish a base in the land that the Huns have not yet fully controlled, and in the war against the Hu people, continue to grow and develop their own strength. The contest with the Hu people is a long-term and protracted process, and we cannot hope that we can expel the Hu people from the Central Plains in a single battle. ”

Fu Yan and Luo Xian were really stunned at this time, Liu Yin's plan can no longer be described by the word bold, this is a completely new strategic method, which completely subverts the three views of Fu Yan and Luo Xian.

Liu Yin's strategy, to be more precise, is to completely abandon his own logistics supply lines, eat the enemy, and establish his own base area in the enemy's rear control area, and this base area must be able to meet the three basic requirements of material supply, grain and grass supply, and soldier replenishment, so as to support the army's combat needs.

Whether it is the destruction of the Six Kingdoms by Qin or the struggle between Chu and Han until the melee of the Three Kingdoms, any battle requires strong logistics support to support, grain and grass, ordnance and materials, even if there is a little leakage, it may lead to the failure of the entire campaign, Liu Bang also implemented the policy of "building high walls and accumulating grain" before entering the Central Plains, without sufficient logistics support, there will never be the glory of the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

And now Liu Yin has proposed the combat mode of not retreating but advancing, abandoning logistics supply lines, and entering the enemy's rear, which is completely unprecedented, but this is not Liu Yin's whim, but his thoughtful thinking.

First of all, there are certain basic conditions for opening up base areas behind enemy lines, and although the Hu people occupy a considerable proportion in Jizhou and Jizhou, it is still the Han people who occupy the absolute majority of the population. Water can carry boats and capsize boats, and the people's will will be the key to determining the outcome of the war.

After the Hu people invaded the Central Plains, they carried out a frenzied slaughter of the Han people, and the Han people formed an endless blood feud, if the Shu army fought against the Hu Lu and saved the people, it would definitely be able to get the support and support of the people of the Central Plains, which was the primary basis for Liu Yin's eastward expansion.

This was followed by the army of the Jin State. Although the two sides of Shu and Jin have enmity for generations, but the Hu people rebelled, the situation in the world has risen to the point of national peril, Liu Yin has no reason to think that the generals of the Jin State are ignorant of the general situation, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, even if it is only an expedient friend, it is also a force that can be used. Now the capital of the Jin State is the military governor of Hebei is Yanghu, and Yanghu's personality Liu Yin is relatively clear, understanding the general situation, taking into account the overall situation, if the Shu army advances eastward, it must be able to have a good foundation for cooperation with Yanghu.

Taking a step back, even if they can't join forces with the Jin army, they can at least temporarily avoid confrontation with the Jin army, whether it is Yanghu or other Jin generals, they are definitely not willing to put their limited forces on the confrontation with the Shu army, so that the Hu people who are eyeing the surrounding people will benefit.

In the end, it is that the eastward advance has a vast territory, although the Hu rebellion is very strong, but the area they control is actually very limited, in many places, especially in the mountainous areas, the Hu people's power has not had time to penetrate into it, the Shu army's eastward advance, is to give full play to the Shu army's strengths in mountain warfare, in the weak area controlled by the Hu people, their own strength to take the lead in developing.

Of course, difficulties also exist objectively, especially in the early days of the eastward advance, it was the most difficult moment for the Shu army, the unfamiliar environment, the enemies on all sides, the unsustainable grain and grass, the unreplenishable source of troops, and even the endless battles day and night, all these difficulties must be overcome, we must carry forward the indomitable spirit of seeing death as home, and have the courage to fight in adversity in the predicament, overcome all difficulties, and finally move towards victory.
