Chapter 228
After the meeting, everyone went back to rest.
Everyone basically agrees with the second option, but there is no consensus on who the target is.
Xiang Liang simply didn't worry and asked everyone to go back and think about it, and then wait until tomorrow to confirm.
After all, time waits for no one, and it would be nice to have one day to think about it.
The main force of the Han army has already arrived at Sui County. If there is no hurry, the Han army will arrive at Pengcheng before they finish deploying their troops.
As soon as he left the Chu Palace, Xiang Liang couldn't wait to invite Fan Zeng to return home with him.
A closed carriage is too luxurious and not suitable for a warrior like Xiang Liang.
So Xiang Liang was riding a horse, with Xiang Ji by his side, and Fan Zeng who was sitting on the chariot behind him.
After returning to the house, before entering the living room, Xiang Liang couldn't wait to ask: "Which way does Mr. Fan think is the most suitable?"
"Middle!" Fan Zeng didn't give in.
There is no need to show off or pretend to be old here, that also needs to be divided into places.
Xiang Liang nodded lightly and said: "I thought so too. Although the North Road Wangli Army has the largest number of troops, they are all adapted from the old Qin Army. They just changed their names. The Qin Army War
Their strength is inferior to that of the Han army. If we choose them, even if we can win, it will be difficult to affect the other two Han armies."
"Although the South Road has fewer people, only about 50,000 people, it is a bit remote. If the Central Road and the Chenjun Han army insist on coming for reinforcements, it will be difficult for us to stop them."
"And the loss of 50,000 people is not a big deal for the Han army. If we choose the southern route, we are afraid that it will not fight us head-on and lead our main force to wander around to buy time for the other two routes."
"It's different if you choose the middle road. This is the absolute main force of the Han army, and it's the road directly facing Pengcheng. If you can defeat the Han army in the middle, you can recruit some of the Han army's elites, send part of the troops south, and use the rest to deal with the king in the north.
Li, maybe it’s not impossible to persuade him to surrender!”
Fan Zeng shook his head speechlessly.
The choice is right.
But this reason is really crazy.
It's like answering a question in an exam. The whole process was wrong, but in the end due to carelessness, I made a mistake when calculating statistics, but the answer I got was correct.
This kind of answer, no matter how serious he is, he will never get the correct answer.
Xiang Liang also noticed Fan Zeng shaking his head and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Why is Mr. Fan shaking his head?"
"You are too confident, and you think too highly of Chu Jun's ability!" Fan Zeng continued to shake his head.
"Why did Mr. Fan say this?" Xiang Liang couldn't help but be stunned. Since he and Mr. Fan both chose the middle route, why did he say this now?
"The reason why I chose the middle route is because it is the only one to choose from. Firstly, the middle route of the Han army is the real elite. If it can be defeated, it will definitely affect the other two Han armies. Secondly, if you don't choose the middle route, Pengcheng will definitely not be protected.
, the capital city was reduced to a county, how big an impact will it have, I don’t need to say more?”
Fan Zeng explained one by one. After returning from Han, Fan Zeng also deliberately strengthened the collection of intelligence from Han.
Although the work was not as thorough as that of the Han Dynasty, some useful information was still collected.
It was precisely based on the summary of this intelligence and his evaluation of the current situation of the Chu army that Fan Zeng chose the middle line of the Han army as the target for the decisive battle.
"Do you know why the Han army is getting stronger and stronger?" Fan Zeng asked with a wry smile.
"We have fought more battles, recuperated for a long time, and coupled with the high-intensity training of the Han army, we will naturally become stronger and stronger!" Xiang Liang looked at Fan Zeng, as if to say, you asked me a question
Questions that every fool knows the answer to.
However, Fan Zeng shook his head, stretched out a finger and said: "Besides this, the Han army will keep detailed records of every battle, and then select several representative battle cases every month for the officers to
Learning to communicate and having a strong army is just about being strong in actual combat, but a strong general can crush the opponent strategically."
"Isn't this impossible?" Xiang Liang found it unbelievable.
Why do junior officers follow the generals even when they are fighting for their lives?
Isn't it just that by following the generals, you can learn how the generals command the battle?
How long does it take to be inconspicuous for a day or two?
Anyone who is willing to stay with the general for a few years will definitely reach higher and higher in the future as long as he does not die on the battlefield.
And those generals will easily hand over their special skills to these people?
Obviously it's impossible, so everyone can only think and guess based on what they know, and argue based on the results.
Including the officers around Xiang Liang, they all did this.
Xiang Liang found it unbelievable that the Han army directly recorded detailed battle cases and then showed them to all officers to learn from.
"I think it's impossible, but that's the fact. It is said that this act was initiated by the King of Han two years ago. It was precisely because of the beating on the head by the King of Han that the generals who were trained by the King of Han did not dare to disobey this decree..."
Having said this, Fan Zeng couldn't help but sigh and exclaimed: "This move by the Han army is enough to withstand the Chu army's 50,000 elite soldiers!"
"This..." Now it was Xiang Liang's turn to be confused.
Of course he knew how powerful the Han army was, but he didn't realize that the Han army was so powerful.
The upper limit of the Chu army's team is very high, including Xiang Yu's headquarters, Yingbu's headquarters, etc., but the lower limit is also very speechless. Basically, they will be scattered in a fight. This kind of people are only suitable for fighting with the wind, and even if the battle is with the wind, they cannot be allowed to face it.
Against enemies that are too strong.
But now Xiang Liang realized that this move of the Han army could not only increase the upper limit of the Han army, but also increase the lower limit of the Han army.
Once these two limits are raised, the Chu army will be completely crushed as a whole.
Therefore, Fan Zeng lamented that the Han army's move was enough to withstand 50,000 elite Chu troops. Xiang Liang did not agree with this. Xiang Liang even felt that it should be changed to at least 50,000 elite Chu troops.
"Fan Gong believes that if you choose a path, you will become a benevolent person if you don't succeed?" Xiang Liang asked.
"Exactly!" Fan Zeng nodded solemnly.
As a result, he deduced it many times and set up the Han army's situation according to what he knew. As for the Chu army's situation, Fan Zeng basically set it up according to the actual situation and increased its strength by 10%.
But even so, Fan Zeng did not get any results that were beneficial to the Chu army.
"If you choose Wangli's army on the north route, the Chu army will have a chance of winning, but it will definitely be severely damaged. If you choose Han Xin's army on the south route, although it has a greater chance of winning, it will make the Chu army more exhausted. Han Xin's march is extremely bold, but it can guarantee
The morale is high. Although I have never heard of this person, he must be outstanding, otherwise the King of Han will not reuse him. Therefore, if he chooses the southern route, the Chu army cannot guarantee an easy victory. If Han Xin defeats 100,000 people, then
How can we face the remaining more than 300,000 Han troops?"
