Chapter 206: Huang Taiji's abacus
Huang Taiji wants to fight Jizhou, he doesn't believe this. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Huang Taiji in history, after entering the fortress like a bamboo, did not dare to attack Yuan Chonghuan to defend Jizhou City, now he suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Zunhua, should be more cautious than in history. What's more, there are thousands of soldiers and horses taught by Zhao Shujiao behind him, how dare he attack Jizhou?
Historically, the reason why he dared to sneak through Jizhou was because the road out of Jizhou was peaceful, and there were no troops that could stop him from Jizhou to the Great Wall, and after he crossed Jizhou, Yuan Chonghuan's department, the only one with combat effectiveness behind him, was bound to run to Beijing to Qinwang, so he didn't have to worry about the way home. But now that there are several thousand Guan Ning troops of Zhao Shujiao's army in Shimenzhai, does he still dare? You must know that in history, he only left 800 troops in Zunhua, and if it was the same this time, then it would be easy for Zhao Shujiao to recapture Zunhua.
Could it be that because of the successive blows, he is more radical than in history?
No, it must not be like this. He will only be more cautious, more cautious than in history!
Qin Shuhuai looked at the map carefully, suddenly thought of something, nodded heavily on the map "Shimen Village", and said, "Huangtai Ji is fake to take Jizhou, and it is true to take Shimen Village!"
Sun Chengzong and Chongzhen glanced at each other, both a little confused.
Sun Chengzong said, "Little friend, this old man doesn't understand. Since Huang Taiji wants to take Shimen Village, he only needs to surround it. Shimenzhai is now a lonely city, why does Huang Taiji need to go to Jizhou City first?"
Qin Shuhuai said, "I have been to Shimen Village, the city defense there is still relatively strong, and the city is defended by the elite Guanning Army, and there is a general Zhao Shujiao command, Huang Taiji will have to pay a lot of price if he wants to capture Shimen Village." Huang Taiji had already lost 4,000 main forces before, and at this moment he must be more cautious, and try not to attack the city as much as possible. So, he wants to lure General Zhao out and fight again!"
Sun Chengzong and Chongzhen both suddenly realized.
Sun Chengzong stared at the map for a while and said, "If General Zhao is in the middle of the plan and thinks that the main force of Jiannu has arrived in Jizhou, then there are two roads in front of him. One is to send troops to rescue Jizhou, and the other is to send troops to recapture Zunhua and other important places. Shuhuai Xiaoyou, what do you think he will do?"
Qin Shuhuai said, "No matter what he does, as long as he goes out of the city, it will be dangerous." By the way, how many men does General Zhao currently have?"
Sun Chengzong said, "After He Kegang arrived at Shimen Village, he left some of it for him, and he currently has about 7,000 people on his hands. ”
Qin Shuhuai thought for a while, and then said, "Seven thousand men and horses, if you defend the city, you must pay a lot of price for building slaves." But if it was out of the city, Jiannu would only need 5,000 cavalry to completely defeat it. These cavalry are likely to be ambushed near Shimen Village now, and General Zhao will be ambushed as soon as he leaves the city. ”
Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong's expressions became more and more severe, it was the 7,000 elite Guan Ning army, if it was lost, the impact would be immeasurable.
Previously, they thought that Jiannu would definitely surround Shimenzhai first, and with Zhao's ability to teach, it would not be a problem to hold Shimenzhai for a few days. At that time, whether it is Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Army, or Datong's Mangui Army or Hou Shilu of Xuanfu, they can all be saved, and the Shimenzhai court can make a big fuss. Sun Chengzong's previous preparations were also based on this idea.
Chongzhen asked, "Brother Qin, do you think General Zhao will be tricked?"
Qin Shuhuai said, "General Zhao is shrewd and cautious, and the minister thinks that he may not be able to fall for the trick." Unless Inspector Yuan ordered him to reinforce Jizhou, he would never rush out of the city. However, in Chen's opinion, Inspector Yuan should not transfer him to reinforce Jizhou. ”
The reason why he made this judgment is very simple, Yuan Chonghuan is a person with a more conceited personality in history. He has a lot of experience in defending fortified cities, and has repeatedly thwarted Houjin's sieges, and has already built up a deep self-confidence. If he was worried that the Guanning army in his hand would not be able to withstand the siege of Jiannu, he would not send the various miscellaneous troops originally stationed in Jizhou outside.
Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan would definitely not let Zhao Shujiao go to the rescue of Jizhou, and it was absolutely impossible for such a shrewd person as Zhao Shujiao to run out of the city at this time to recover Zunhua City.
After Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong heard his words, their hearts were a little lighter.
Sun Chengzong said again, "In this case, won't Jiannu's calculation be in vain?"
Qin Shuhuai sneered, "Huang Taiji is a cunning person, and his abacus will not be easily disappointed. For him, it would be good if he could lure General Zhao out of the city, but even if General Zhao didn't get the plan, it would be a very safe strategy for him to leave these five or six thousand cavalry in the Shimenzhai area. On the one hand, with these cavalry, General Zhao's 7,000 soldiers and horses could not move. On the other hand, these cavalry can help him hold his way home, and he will not lose either way. It can only be said that he is more cautious than before. ”
As he spoke, he had already started the idea of these cavalrymen in his heart, and faintly felt as if a piece of fat was forming. It's just that he didn't have time to calculate at the moment, so he threw him aside first.
The big question now is whether Huang Taiji intends to sneak past Jizhou as in history. Even if he didn't have the six or seven thousand cavalry (let's count it six or seven thousand, the details will have to wait for the later Tang Bao to know), he still has 23,000 or 4,000 elites, plus more than 30,000 soldiers, a total of nearly 60,000 troops, if he wants to sneak through Jizhou and come to the vicinity of Jingshi to loot, it is completely possible.
However, since he wants to lead Zhao Shujiao out, he may still hang out outside Jizhou City for a while, and only make the next move after making sure that Zhao Shujiao is not successful.
Therefore, he had time to go to Jizhou City to remind Yuan Chonghuan that Jiannu might have to sneak over.
So the question is, does this Grand Inspector Yuan want to deliberately indulge in the enemy, or do he really resist the enemy? If it was only a mistake in history for him to let Huang Taiji sneak through, then he would probably be able to make up for his mistake. But if he really deliberately indulges the enemy, then it will be useless to do anything by himself.
After listening to Qin Shuhuai's words, Sun Chengzong pondered for a while and asked, "Little friend, then according to your expectations, how will Jiannu act next, and how should we deal with it?"
Qin Shuhuai's words were amazing.
"Jiannu didn't dare to fight Shimen Village, let alone Jizhou City. So they may again bypass Jizhou and reach the area of Sanhe. Sun Ge Lao, the deployment of the Sanhe area needs to be intensified. ”
Sun Chengzong and Chongzhen were shocked. After the three rivers is Tongzhou, and after Tongzhou is the Jingshi, this road is basically a plain, and there is no danger to defend at all.
Qin Shuhuai said to Chongzhen again, "Your Majesty, these are just speculations at present. The minister immediately went to Jizhou, and after meeting with Inspector Yuan to discuss, he hoped to come up with a practical and feasible strategy for pacifying slaves. ”
