Chapter 963: Raise Your Hand, Decide the Battle!

Han Mo's expression suddenly turned cold, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Han Xuanling was already born and said coldly: "Han Cang, you are so bold, what kind of place is this, you can talk nonsense." said sharply: "Come on, drag Han Cang down, twenty military sticks!" ”

All the generals in the tent are silent, these people are all generals of the Northwest Army, naturally they are defending Han Mo, Han Cang's words are not disrespectful, and his arrogance has been revealed, this group of people has no friendship with him, so naturally they will not intercede for him.

Han Xuanling knew that the rift between this pair of cousins had appeared, and now at the time of the war, he also had to do his best to maintain Han Mo's prestige, knowing that this matter would make Han Mo embarrassed, so he took the initiative to come forward and let people blame Han Cang, one is to maintain Han Mo's prestige, and the other reason is that in fact, he still has to warn Han Cang and remind him that this is not something that can be awkward in his own house.

At such a time, what is needed is for the whole army to unite as one, to enforce orders and prohibitions, and to never have special characters.

Han Xuanling was originally the governor of the Donghai Zhenfu Army, and he started to lead troops very early, so he naturally knew the ruthlessness of military law, and he also knew the importance of military might.

When two armored warriors came in from outside the tent, Han Cang smiled coldly and said lightly: "Is it just twenty military sticks?" I'm going to cut off my head!" Hateful glanced at Han Mo, and he was also very happy to pay the account and accept the military stick.

Waiting for Han Cang to go out, Han Mo ordered the generals to sit down, still with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, Nanyang Pass, Tingshui Pass and Evil Yang Ridge, we all have troops stationed there, these three places are the key to our army's grain route, and from the current point of view, there should be no other forces in these three places that can pose a threat to them." Therefore, the military food route is still relatively safe. After a pause, he said solemnly: "Ben will encircle the point to send reinforcements and consume the Wei people, which is indeed a test for my country." But you don't have to worry, my Dayan has been recuperating for many years, and since the imperial court has ordered troops to be dispatched this time, it is fully prepared, and there will be no problems with logistics and supplies...... ”

"The general's clever plan is also for the sake of the lives of our brothers, and we are grateful to the general on behalf of the officers and men of the whole army." Xiahoude said solemnly.

The other generals also nodded yes.

Han Mo is not ready to storm Kyoto City, but is ready to fight a war of attrition, which is actually a fight with national strength, and this plan may make people who don't understand the truth blame Han Mo for being cowardly, but it can also make the soldiers of the Yan army die as little as possible in the battle.

Since ancient times, the damage caused in siege battles has been the most serious, let alone a huge fortified city like Kyoto, and there are several fortifications deployed outside the city of Kyoto, and if you really want to attack it, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

This principle is the same in ancient and modern times, but in Han Mo's consciousness, he still has great respect for human life, he compares his heart to his heart, when he is in a desperate situation and facing death, he always thinks about his family, thinking that there is still a large group of family members waiting for him to return.

He is like this, and there is no one in the tens of thousands of Yan army who is not like this.

Poor riverside has no fixed bones, like a spring boudoir dreaming of everyone.

Who has no relatives, who has no relatives to care about in their hometown?

Han Mo may be ruthless in some things, but he is not a bloodthirsty person after all, he naturally understands the truth that Ci is not in charge of the army, and he also knows the famous saying that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but if only 10,000 lives can achieve his goal, he will never want the 10,000th corpse to appear.

The generals understood that Han Mo's siege but not attack would naturally cause a large consumption of their own grain and grass logistics, and I am afraid that they would face pressure from the imperial court.

In fact, what Han Cang said just now is not unreasonable, once it enters the stalemate stage, it will certainly consume the grain of Kyoto City, but it will also form a more serious consumption of Yan Kingdom.

In addition to the troops left behind along the way, the Yan army had 90,000 troops to the hinterland of Wei, and 10,000 war horses.

Although the Yan army now has sufficient grain and grass, but once the war of attrition starts, it can not stand up to the daily consumption of a large number of people, the army can not be without food, before the war is over, the Yan country can only step up the preparation of grain, continuous delivery of grain and grass to the front, in order to ensure that the Yan army will not have a crisis because of the lack of food. However, transporting grain from the country of Yan to the hinterland of Wei State, the road is nearly a thousand miles, and the long road is long, and the manpower and material resources used will be an extremely large amount, as Han Cang said, the imperial court sent out 200,000 stone of grain, which can be sent to the front line, will never exceed 100,000 stone, and the consumption along the way will also be a huge amount.

This is what Han Mo said, using the national strength of the Yan State to consume the national strength of the Wei State, and the Wei State is weak.

……

"It is fortunate that we can reduce the casualties of our army as much as possible, but the general still has other considerations." Han Mo's voice was low, he glanced at the generals, and said slowly: "Don't forget, there is certainly a wolf in front of us, but by our side, there is another wolf!" ”

The generals looked at each other, and Han Xuanling had already said solemnly: "Yes, Qingguo!" ”

The generals were immediately relieved.

Today's allies, he must be a fierce enemy.

"You should know that Wei Qing and my Dayan Three Kingdoms, in terms of national strength, Beiqing is well deservedly second to none. The eleven counties of Beiqing, the land is vast, the population is large, and the wealth is incomparable, if they have a good emperor and work hard, they will be strong. Han Mo said slowly: "But today, although Qingguo still has eleven counties, the king is mediocre, the officials are greedy for ink, the officials are rich and the people are poor, and the treasury is empty, but it is just a huge paper tiger, and its national strength is far inferior to the beginning of the country." ”

All the generals bowed slightly.

"It's just that the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if he conquers Kyoto City one day, Qingguo will definitely be against my Dayan, at that time, today's ally is the strong enemy of the other day, so we must also prepare in advance to weaken the strength of this potential enemy."

Kong Fei asked, "General, how can this be weakened?" ”

"If our army does not move, it is equivalent to weakening the strength of Qingguo!" Han Mo said with a smile.

Before everyone understood for a while, Han Xuanling stroked his thick beard and thought thoughtfully.

Han Mo explained with a smile: "The general said that several generations of emperors of my Dayan have worked hard to govern the country, and the national strength has risen steadily, for today's war, my Dayan may have been prepared many years ago, not only has the Northwest Iron Army, but also the country can provide sufficient strategic materials to the front, this is our advantage." But Qingguo is different, their treasury is empty every year, money and food are short, and as far as the general knows, they are not ready for a big battle at all. Before my Dayan entered the war, Qingguo had already suffered heavy losses from both Wei and Beiman, if it wasn't for Shang Zhongli's proper preparation and hoarding grain and grass, I was afraid that the people of Qingguo would not be able to support it for a long time. Although Qingguo ceded land and negotiated peace with the Northern Barbarians, the Northern Barbarians are barbarian states, and the so-called contract is not worth a penny in their eyes, as long as they find the opportunity, those barbarians will definitely tear up the contract and continue to invade and kill, so the Qingguo people do not dare to slack off in the Northeast, and they will definitely defend with heavy troops. Yuan Mu attacked in the Wumu River, Lin Chengfei's department attacked from Suiding County, this is the three-way army, in addition, the southern border army of Qingguo Town also has to defend the frontier, beware of my Dayan, counting, Qingguo people are the four-way army, the money and food to be consumed by the four-way army, that is much higher than ours, Qingguo wants to support the four-way army, with their national strength, it is impossible to support it for too long...... In other words, only our Great Yan can really fight a protracted war, and neither Wei nor Qing has the logistical strength to support it for a long time. ”

Han Mo's words on the contrary were clearly organized and analyzed thoroughly, and all the generals were surprised.

In fact, everyone has been skeptical of Han Mo's military talent from the beginning, and has already become impressed after several wars, and they are very admired, at this time, listening to Han Mo's words about the situation of various countries, they are all surprised with respect, Han Xuanling is also smiling, stroking his beard and head, looking at Han Mo, his eyes are full of appreciation.

"The people of Qingguo can't fight a protracted war, but they are naturally unwilling to give up such a great opportunity, and it is impossible for them to watch our Dayan monopolize Kyoto City, so they can't confront the two armies like us and slowly consume them, they can only storm Kyoto City from the right side, in order to take the capital of Wei as soon as possible." A sneer appeared at the corner of Han Mo's mouth: "This is their only choice, and the result of this road is that the people of Wei will fight to the death with the Qing people on the right road...... If either of these two countries has a loss, it will be of great benefit to my Dayan, not to mention fighting each other. He sighed lightly and smiled slyly: "If it is possible, Ben will even be willing to tell the emperor of Wei State, so that although he can rest assured to deal with Qingren, we will never take advantage of the danger of people to attack from both sides!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent burst into laughter.

At this time, they finally understood that Han Mo's strategy of besieging but not attacking was of great significance.

It can be said that the biggest damage to the Yan army caused by the siege without attack is the burden of logistics supply, but the benefits obtained are far more than the strong attack.

Han Xuanling laughed and said, "The general's plan is really wonderful. ”

Han Mo said to Han Xuanling: "Governor Han, after entering Wei County, our army will have the following things to do. First, the troops from the left flank approached the city, putting pressure on the left flank of the Wei people, and even at the beginning they were able to carry out a few small attacks, so that the Wei people felt the pressure we brought to them, so that they could keep their tension, and the main force of the army was ready to confront the defenders on the left side of Kyoto City. Second, send people to collect grain and grass in Wei County, Wei County is the largest county in Wei State, the area is huge, in addition to Kyoto City, there are more than ten small cities, the troops of these cities have been gathered under the city of Kyoto, most of them are empty and defenseless, although the Wei court urgently raised grain and grass to hoard in Kyoto City, but in my estimation, the grain and grass in all parts of Wei County may not all be raised, there must be a lot of grain and grass scattered everywhere, these grain and grass, we must collect them as soon as possible, the granaries of each city and town must be cleaned up, There must also be grain hidden in the mansions of the local tyrants and gentry in various towns, and they must be searched out and gathered in the grain corps of our army. ”

Qin Luo hurriedly said: "General, it is naturally right to collect grain and grass from everywhere, but ...... If all the grain is really snatched, the people of Wei County outside Kyoto City will be in trouble......! ”

Han Mo said with a smile: "Ben General has already thought about collecting those grains and grasses, not to prevent the people of Wei from eating, but to prevent these grains from secretly flowing into Kyoto City...... In fact, it is not exact to encircle the point to send reinforcements, we want to encircle the points and cut off the reinforcements. When the grain and grass were collected, a porridge shop would have been set up, and the people of Wei County would be able to get food from the porridge shop every day, and they would never starve to death. After a pause, he said: "Our own grain team must be heavily guarded, patrolling day and night, and we must not make the slightest mistake." Qin Luo! ”

"The last general!" Qin Luo immediately got up.

Han Mo said solemnly: "The responsibility of guarding the grain team will be entrusted to you, this is the lifeblood of the whole army, the top priority, no mistakes must occur." Ben will say ugly things in front, if there is a loss of food and grass, your head, this will be decided! ”

Qin Luo knew that this was Han Mo's great trust in himself, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, the general, there is a grain that has been destroyed by the Wei people, and the last general will come to see you!" ”

Xia Houde suddenly asked: "General, how should we arrange for us to search for grain in the Wei army?" If the troops are too small, I am afraid that the Wei defenders of Kyoto City will divide their troops to save them! ”

Han Mo smiled indifferently: "Divide the troops to rescue?" It's very good, if he dares to divide his troops, I will dare to eat him. It is important for the Emperor of Wei to save his life, you can rest assured, even if something big happens in other places, he will not divide his troops to save it, what he is thinking about now is to defend Kyoto City, so that we can only retreat for ......a long time! ”

Xia Houde got up and arched his hand and said: "General, the last general is willing to lead his troops to search for grain and cut off the grain route of Kyoto City." ”

Han Mo said: "Ben will divide an army of 20,000 to do two major things, one is to search for grain in Wei County, and the other is to cut off the connection between Tianshui County and Kyoto City, blocking their grain route, whether it is open or dark, Ben will not allow a grain to enter Kyoto City." After a pause, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiahoude to sit down, and said, "As for the candidate, I will consider it again." ”

Charward was slightly disappointed, but sat down anyway.

Han Mo pondered for a moment and said again: "Ben will have one last thing to do......!" ”

The generals all looked at Han Mo, not knowing what the last thing he said was.

"Surrender!" Han Mo said lightly: "The general will also send someone to persuade the Wei State to surrender!" ”

The generals looked at each other, all a little stunned.

The Wei State gathered 100,000 troops to defend it, and the Wei people were still very tough in their bones, how could they surrender?

But everyone also knows that this young general is treacherous, and he says that he is persuading him to surrender, but he is afraid that he has another plan.

In fact, Han Mo understated the strategic plan of the Yan army tonight, and everyone only felt that it was really the best policy, and they all admired the young general in their hearts, and they all knew that the steps taken by this great general must be reasonable.
