When the generals heard that Li Shimin had stationed his army in Baibi, Wen Yanbo explained: "Baibi is located in Jiangxian County, which happens to cut off the connection between our army from Linfen County to Hedong County and Yao Junsu and Lu Chongmao. ”
As Wen Yanbo said, Yao Junsu and Lu Chongmao are in the south, and Li Chongjiu is from Jinyang in the north, and Li Chongjiu wants to open up Hedong, he must defeat Li Shimin's 30,000 elites in Baibi, and then meet Yao Junsu and Lu Chongmao.
Wen Yanbo arched his hand to Li Chongjiu and said: "Now that the Tang army is stationed in Baibi, it is undoubtedly to cut off the relationship between the north and the south, first the south and then the north, eliminate Yao Junsu, and after Lu Chongmao, then lead troops north to fight a decisive battle with me." ”
Wen Yanbo continued: "Qiyu Shanggu Gong, at present, we are making smooth progress in Bingzhou, firstly, because of the improper measures of the Jinyang guards, and the prestige of our army, and secondly, because of Yao Junsu and Lu Chongmao, who have restrained part of the Tang army's energy. ”
"I think Yao Junsu and Lu Chongmao must be saved."
"No, do you really think that our army now has the grasp of seizing the entire east of the river? Li Shimin is stationed in Baibi, or he may be waiting for work to lure us out of Jinyang to fight with him! Himekawa said loudly.
Listening to Ji Chuan's words, Wang Mahan said disdainfully: "What is there to be afraid of in a decisive battle, now the brothers have broken several states in a row, and the entire Tang army in Hedong has been killed by us, and the brothers are screaming from top to bottom, and the Tang army will be destroyed as much as they come, just take this opportunity to simply cross the Yellow River, pull Li Yuan'er off the horse under Chang'an City, and let Lao Tzu teach him how to behave." ”
After Wang Mahan spoke, the generals present all laughed.
Wei Chi was silent, and the rest were like Xue Wanche. Xue Wanjun and other young generals had the meaning of leaping and trying in their eyes.
Winning streaks. Breaking the city and pulling out the state gave Li Chongjiu and these generals extremely high confidence.
Li Chongjiu saw that the crowd would be like this. couldn't help but show joy on his face, but Ji Chuan was still saying at this time: "Don't think about it, Li Yuan is the hero of the world, and there are 200,000 available soldiers under his command. ”
"It was a fluke for our army to take the opportunity of a decisive battle between its main force and Xue Ju to take Jinyang. If you go south to Baibi to fight Li Shimin now, then you will inevitably be tired. Lack of food and grass and failure. ”
Wei Chi Gong shook his head and said, "Ji Langzhong, this time our army has obtained a lot of grain and grass from plundering the counties, which is enough to support the army for several months, so you don't have to worry about this for the time being. ”
On the side, Xue Wanche also spoke: "The weather is freezing right now, although it is very cold, but the 60,000 soldiers of our army grow in a bitter cold place such as the Youzhou grassland, if you talk about winter battles. We are definitely going to outperform the Tang Army. ”
All the military generals were against Ji Chuan's opinion. Ji Chuan seemed to be isolated here, and he arched his hand to Li Chongjiu and said: "Our army is currently occupying the state is a quick victory, and the foundation is unstable, once a battle is lost. It's going to fall apart. ”
"Enough!"
"Alarmist!" The generals rebuked one after another.
Ji Chuan glanced at the generals and asked Wen Yanbo, "What do you think, Wen Changshi?" ”
This time, the Wenchen who accompanied Li Chongjiu to the south was Ji Chuan. Wen Yanbo and Xue Wanshu are three. Now the military generals are also advocating a decisive battle with Li Shimin in Baibi in the south. Ji Chuan could only turn to Wen Yanbo for help, and Xue Wanshu was now in Taicang in the city. Count the grain and grass to be sent to the front.
Wen Yanbo glanced at Ji Chuan, hesitated, and said: "Shanggu Gong, I thought that if Yao Junsu was released and Lu Chongmao and the two of them were left alone, they would be broken by each of them, but if they went south to rescue, Li Shimin would be attacked on his back." So he thought he could try a war. ”
When Ji Chuan heard this, he stepped aside and closed his eyes to say that he would never speak again.
Wen Yanbo glanced at Ji Chuan, he was a little unspeakable at the moment, the Taiyuan Wen clan he was born in was a famous family in Taiyuan.
Since the two Han Dynasty, due to the war in the Central Plains, the Wen clan in Taiyuan has moved south, and it has been difficult for the northern clan to restore the grand occasion in the north. This time, Wen Yanbo joined Li Chongjiu, and he was also under pressure from many clans.
This time the world is in turmoil, and the heroes are all around, Taiyuan Wen and Li Yuan in Jinyang, Li Shimin have a lot of contacts,
After Li Yuan Jinyang raised his army, the clan let Wen Yanbo's two younger brothers, Wen Daya, and Wen Dayou serve Li Tang as an official to show their full support for Li Tang. But Wen Yanbo did not listen to the meaning of the clan, and was already appointed as the county Sima under Li Chongjiu one step earlier.
After Jinyang's father, and the uncle in the clan, there was a letter asking him to resign, Wen Yanbo came to his heart, even if he went to Li Tang, it would take him at least twenty or thirty years to show his ambitions and get the position of Zaifu. But in the Youzhou Army, Li Chongjiu Xian already had the intention of cultivating him as the prime minister, and he reused him and trusted him very much.
Wen Yanbo was grateful for Li Chongjiu's cultivation and reuse, so he refused the clansmen's request for him to return to Taiyuan, and continued to leave Youzhou to assist Li Chongjiu.
But in this way, Wen Yanbo also knew that there was a serious suspicion between himself and the clansmen, this time after capturing Jinyang Wen Yanbo returned to his hometown, although he is now in Youzhou, it is an official residence, and the officials in Youzhou are second only to Li Chongjiu's treatment, but after returning to his hometown, those clan uncles and uncles are all closed to him, and they are treated coldly in the clan.
Wen Yanbo, who was born in a big clan since he was a child, was inevitably a little unconvinced, so he was more anxious this time that Li Chongjiu could defeat Li Tang in one battle to prove that his choice was correct.
Li Chongjiu was a little surprised when he saw the meaning of the main battle under his command, it seemed that he had won many victories, and the elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command had become proud generals at some point.
If I remember correctly, Liu Wuzhou and Li Shimin also confronted Bai Bi in history, and I don't remember what the specific battle situation was, but the final victory or defeat of this battle is needless to say.
From Jinyang to Baibi, the road is long, and the grain road is long, and the military food is bound to be poor after all, and the situation is worrying in case of being robbed of grain. But Wen Yanbo is right, he doesn't go to Baibi, he can only sit back and watch Yao Junsu and Lu Chongmao be annihilated, so the army's heart will be shaken, and now the whole army is winning a streak and morale is flourishing, if he cowers and does not fight, it is inevitable that he will be a little unreasonable, and the generals and soldiers under his command may also complain.
After all, Liu Wuzhou had an army of 30,000 when he attacked Tang at the beginning, and he also defeated Bai Bi, but he crusaded against the state this time, but there were 60,000 people, and the soldiers and horses were twice as many as Liu Wuzhou, and at that time, Li Tang had been established for two years, and now Li Tang's foundation is unstable.
When the two powers meet, it is undoubtedly a cowardly move to retreat without a fight.
"How to fight next, please also ask Kamiya Gong to make it clear!" Seeing that Ji Chuan was silent, the generals stepped forward together, and they obviously felt that they had a good chance of winning the battle now.
Li Chongjiu glanced at the generals and said: "Li Tang dispatched the four-way army to recover Hedong this time, not to mention that Li Shimin has won a new victory over Xue Ju, and the corporal under his command is all elite, and our army will fight against it, and the outcome is unpredictable." ”
When the generals heard that Li Chongjiu was also opposed to sending troops, they all had a sense of resentment at the moment.
"Then dare to ask Shanggu Gong if he won't save Yao Junsu and Lu Chongmao?"
Li Chongjiu said: "Li Shimin is stationed in Baibi, it is precisely because he has calculated that our army is in a dilemma, and if he goes south, the battle line is long, and it is easy for the old man to get tired, and if he does not move, then Yao Junsu, after Lu Chongmao is cleaned up, he can calmly gather all the armies, and he can still go north to fight a decisive battle with me." Therefore, if we want to defeat the Tang army, we can't follow Li Shimin's intentions, so we will fall into his trap. ”
Wen Yanbo immediately asked when he heard this: "Then what does Shanggu Gong mean?" ”
Li Chongjiu said: "Our army is still going south, but instead of taking the dangerous road of the Bird Mouse Valley to the west of the river, I will lead the army to attack Shangdang County!" ”
"Shangdang County!"
The generals were stunned not to fight a decisive battle with Li Shimin, but to attack Shangdang County. At this time, Ji Chuan's eyes lit up, and he said: "Shanggu Gong, this move is the best policy!" ”
"How? Say it and listen to it, I don't understand. Wang Mahan asked.
Ji Chuan glanced at Wang Mahan, and said in his heart that this person is also a general in charge of one party, but he has no knowledge, but Ji Chuan also knows that this person is absolutely loyal to Li Chongjiu, and he is a confidant.
Ji Chuan angrily made up some basic knowledge of geography to Wang Mahan.
Originally, from Jinyang to the south, separated by Taiyue Mountain in the middle, the two avenues of Merge Zhou, from Jinyang to the southwest, from the west foot of Taiyue Mountain, is the route of Li Yuan to seize Guanzhong from Jinyang, from Jinyang through Zhaoyu Qi, through the Bird Mouse Valley, Huoyi, and then from Pujin to cross the Yellow River, can go straight into Guanzhong, arrive at Chang'an.
From Jinyang to the southeast, from the eastern foot of Taiyue Mountain, through Shangdang County, through Changping County, Gaoping County, and finally from Mengjin across the Yellow River, and to the eastern capital.
This route was originally Li Chongjiu in Qiqianzhai as a bandit, was wanted by Yin Kaishan, that is, he was forced to flee all the way south from Shan Xiongxin's Erxianzhuang in Shangdang County, passed through Mengjindu, crossed the Yellow River, escaped from the border of Bingzhou, and arrived in the eastern capital to meet Li Mi next to the White Horse Temple.
Ji Chuan said: "It can be seen that Jinyang is the key point of the state, through this west pass through the customs, south to Luoyang, east to Youzhou, north control grassland. ”
When Wang Mahan heard this, he said: "What does this have to do with our attack on Shangdang County? ”
Ji Chuan had an incorrigible expression on his face, and said: "Shangdang County is an important town for Li Tang, and once this place is lost, it is equivalent to only half of Hedong remaining in the state. Li Shimin can garrison Baibi, and we can attack the party county to besiege Wei and save Zhao. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Chigong also said: "Yes, Shangdang County Yin Kaishan, Li Yuanji's remnants are just birds with a frightened bow, and we can break them in one battle." ”
Wen Yanbo nodded, showing a sense of please, and said: "If Li Shimin ignores Shangdang County and continues to lead the army to attack Hedong, we can take Shangdang County, but if Li Shimin comes to save Shangdang County, then the shape will be reversed, and our army can wait for work in Shangdang County, and there is no need to worry that the battle line is too long and there is not enough food and grass." ”
The generals also nodded their heads when they heard this. (To be continued......)
