Chapter 33 Situation and Strength

On the sixth day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Dashun, the second batch of more than 51,000 hu of millet and wheat arrived at Liaowu Wharf.

At this point, the grain and grass accumulated on the front line had reached more than 170,000 hu of food and grass... Hezhong also sent more than 90,000 bundles of hay, and the shortage of food and grass was slightly alleviated.

But they also face a small trouble, with nowhere to store too much military rations.

Baiya Cang is a good storage location, but it is still in the hands of the Bian Army.

The Xia army attacked and persuaded surrender. In the past few days, more than 2,000 people were killed or injured, but failed to make a breakthrough.

Shao Shude personally inquired, and he felt that there were less than a thousand defenders in Baiya Cang, which could be said to be very shaken, but time was tight, so he might not have much time to deal with them.

"Now, the battlefields of the Central Plains are intertwined with dogs and teeth." In the Heqing County Government, Chen Cheng pointed to the huge hand-painted map hanging on the wall and said, "After Shi Pu's defeat, the brothers Zhu Jin and Zhu Xuan were in great danger. They captured the enemy.

A conflict broke out with Wang Shifan in Qizhou. It was nothing happened, but Wang Shifan was quite conflicted. He was afraid of Zhu Quanzhong and showed goodwill to him, but he also wanted to use Er Zhu as a barrier to Ziqing Town. However, Zhu Xuan's troops were in Qizhou.

The rape and looting, killing people all over the world, aroused public outrage. In order to appease the military and civilian spirit in the town, Wang Shifan had to speak out of storm. Although he had not sent troops yet, there might still be a war."

"The general sent people to borrow Wei Bo twice and sent Li Ren to the throne. The two generals Tuoba Renfu led 6,000 cavalry to help Zhu Xuan. But the expectations should not be too high. The Hedong cavalry led by Shi Yan and Li Chengsi led by the two generals Shi Yan and Li Chengsi.

More and failed to save Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin's decline. Li Ren wanted to be Tuoba Renfu's troops to fight against the Bian army, and he had almost no chance of winning. Wang Chongshi and He Delun, two generals, step by step

The cavalry cooperated with tacit understanding. Now there are few soldiers and are unable to make progress. However, if Zhu Xuan leads his army out of the city to fight in the field, the situation will be worrying. How to decide along the way? Let the general decide in one sentence."

The meaning is very clear. Do you want the Er Zhu brothers to send troops to attack actively? They still want to do this. However, leaving the city, camp, and going deep into the enemy's territory, the requirements for the military quality and officer command ability are different.

Shao Shude once divided the army's abilities into four levels. The first-class army was actively attacking in the enemy's territory, the second-class army was actively attacking in one's territory, relying on cities in the enemy's territory, and the third-class defense in the pass, relying on them in one's territory.

The city passively defends the lowest level.

The difficulty of offense and defense is completely different.

The Shuofang Army pushed from Shanzhou to Jiushi Fort, advanced east from Weibei, annexed the river, and then went east to occupy Heqing. This was a strategic offensive, which well reflected the combat effectiveness and spirit of the army.

Zhu Xuan, is it questionable whether Zhu Jin has this ability?

"When Zhu Jin rescued Pu last year, the army of 20,000 was scattered. Zhu Xuan also suffered a defeat near Puzhou. Their army, like the leeks, were cut one after another." Shao Shudeduan

He was wearing a tea bowl, his mind was leisurely, and he could not tell the tension of the war coming at all.

"Let them not struggle. The infantry and cavalry cooperate to guard the seven states (including Qizhou). If it is really not possible, return Qizhou to Wang Shifan. I can see that Wang Shifan doesn't want to fight, but Zhu Xuan's military discipline

, It's better not to mention it, but if you continue to struggle, Wang Shifan can't suppress the opposition in the town. He is only twenty years old, and his prestige is not enough, and he can't help many things." Shao Shude continued: "Let Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin hurry up

Reorganize the ministry. Can the newly recruited soldiers fight? Are the soldiers and armors in place? Are the farmland abandoned? Especially for the farming and sericulture matters, I will make good rectifications this year, otherwise why would I spend money with Zhu Quanzhong?”

Shao Shude said this, after Lu Siye recorded it, he would naturally leave it to Zhao Guangfeng to send someone to handle it.

"After Yang Xing secretly attacked Shezhou, the army had been resting for more than a month. Now it seems that he is receiving refugees from Huainan, restoring his household registration, and encouraging farmers and sericultures. He should be short of food. A while ago, he sent envoys to Bianzhou to exchange grain and silk.

The two sides have a close relationship. However, Zhang Jian, the governor of Sizhou, surrendered to Xingmi, and Xingmi sent troops north to meet him, but he didn't know what would evolve." Seeing that Shao Shude stopped talking, Chen Cheng continued to introduce: "But there should be no big war. Wu Hao, the governor of Huangzhou, was not allowed to do so.

When Xingmi surrendered, Du Hong, the commander of E, was very angry and sent troops to attack him. Wu asked for help from Xingmi, and Xingmi had sent troops to advance westward."

What is a mess? Today is such a bullshit situation. There are many vassal states and many conflicts, and you can't control many things.

You set a strategic goal and must seize somewhere, but you will always be interrupted by various things in the middle. A good vassal commander must eliminate interference as much as possible and act towards the strategic planning you have set.

Probably not disturbed.

But sometimes I can't help myself.

Zhu Quanzhong beat Er Zhu. At the critical moment of Shi Pu, he sent the escort Yaya Lei Ye to Weizhou to buy grain. As a result, the person was killed and the money was robbed. Do you think he would be beaten?

When he was still fighting Erzhu, Li Keyong kept harassing him, but he ended up having a good opportunity to cut off Li Keyong's back and annihilate him in one fell swoop. Do you think he would fight?

The court summoned several vassal states to siege Li Keyong. Will you fight?

Zhu Quanzhong was actually rational. When Pang Shigu went south to Huainan to plunder money and food, he was defeated by Sun Ru, but he did not take revenge later.

If it were Li Keyong, he would have to dig up Sun Ru's ancestral tomb before he could stop.

"Yang Xingmi's strategic focus has moved westward. Wu Qie this guy will cause me trouble." Shao Shude was speechless to Wu Qie, the governor of Huangzhou.

This person is a local tyrant. He is understandable when he is rising in the chaos and is not convinced by Du Hong's management. But you can give him some face, give him some money and send some soldiers to die? Now, I'm so forced.

Du Hong wanted to kill him to establish his authority, but he ended up in Yang Xingmi and led the Huainan army in. Zhu Quanzhong was in trouble.

"In Hebei, Youzhou led the Khitan forces southward, and Ke Yong fought one after another, with two wins and one loss. Ying, Mo's army joined forces with Chengde Wang Rong to the north, and Wang Chucun attacked Zhuozhou for the second time, and won a great victory, but he went north again.

The Youzhou Army faced each other and was defeated." Chen Cheng introduced the situation in Hebei, which was one characteristic: chaos.

At the end, he said in a concluding tone: "The battle in Hebei, Hedong, Youzhou, Chengde and Yiwu were involved in it and made a mess. Wei Boluo Hongxin also attacked Li Han's robbery and attacked him.

In the three prefectures of Zhaoyi and Shandong, An Jinjun suffered an unsuspecting disaster. The emperor sued Keyong, and Keyong ordered Li Hanzhi to send troops to Xingzhou to help the war."

This was something that Li Hanzhi sent an envoy to sue. But within Li Keyong's military group, he was a foreign general and might not be as obedient as An Jinjun. Maybe he would go south to seek revenge on Zhang Quanyi. But he was calculating the strength of both sides.

When comparing, you cannot count it. It is an unexpected surprise when he comes, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't come.

"Everyone." After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he retreated aside. Shao Shude put down his tea bowl, stood up and went to the map, and said, "The Bian Army has launched a large-scale increase in troops in Heyang. This is a certain matter. Although he does not know the number of troops, he does not know what his determination is.

But if the enemy is lenient, we must make plans to draw 50,000 main forces from the Bian Army to head north."

"The Tiande Army arrived in Anyi County yesterday."

On March 30, the Tiande army led by Cai Songyang and Yang Sheng crossed the Pujin Pass floating bridge. Later, they passed by Yuxiang and Jie County to Anyi. They marched for nearly 160 miles in five days, and the speed was not slow.

Of course, this is also related to Shao Shude's failure to ask them to abandon their baggage and speed up the marching.

"Feng'an army has arrived in Hucheng County, Guozhou."

Qian Shousu and Han Xun led Feng'an army out of Tongguan. They walked 177 miles in five days. They will go north to Pinglu County through the Sun Floating Bridge in Shaanxi Province, and then pass the Yuban Dianjie Road. It is expected that four

Arrived in Xia County on the 13th of the month.

If you walk normally, within ten days, the Tiande Army will pass through Jiangzhou, Hankou, Yuanxian's ancient city, Yuanxian, and arrive at Wangwu County, and Wangwu County is only forty miles away from Heqing.

The Feng'an army was generally behind their itinerary for six days.

"Tiande and Feng'an two armies have a total of 12,500 infantry and 1,500 cavalrymen. These are all veterans who can fight." Shao Shude began to calculate his family's background.

"The Wuwei Army, 7,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, were damaged in these days, but the main force is still there."

"Most of the Feilong Army, 5,000 horse-riding infantry, the situation is the same as that of the Wuwei Army."

"Eight thousand households in Weifan, and more than 9,000 people."

"The total number of soldiers and horses in the Han Dynasty is no less than 35,000." Shao Shude said: "The overall situation in Heqing has been decided, so that there is no need to fight in the Zhuangguan. Three thousand Ding Zhuang of Wangwu County returned. The Tu teams in Hezhong retreated to Qiziling and opened

Dig trenches, break the wood and break the road, and you can't stand it."

Ten miles east of Zhuangguan is Mengzhou Jiyuan County, and fifty miles west of Qiziling. Qiziling was originally unobstructed, and Jiguan in the Han Dynasty had long been buried in the weeds, but who asked the Bian Army to build a new one?

The two armies occupied Jiguan and Zhuguan, which was quite like Yuwen Zhou and Gao Qi fighting for the competition.

"Zhou Wendong went to Wuxi and Shaanxi, and sent him to Taihou Mo Chen Chong from Qiziling to Qiguan."

"Qi Shenwu surrounded the jade wall, don't let Hou Jing be interested in Qi Ziling."

Shuai Shao is not interested in "interesting" the gate. He only wants to protect the two victorious fruits of Heqing County and Liaowu. At the same time, he seizes the time to take down Baiya Cang and get the location for garrisoning.

The next goal to be captured, but it is definitely not now.

"The thief army comes with 100,000. As long as I have enough food and supplies, I will fight with him in one battle?" Shao Shude finally said: "Transfer to Shaozhou, Wangwu County and Yuan County, and 10,000 foreign households in the two counties, each

One person from the household came out of the house and brought his own weapons, rations and three bundles of hay for ten days. He gathered in the east of Wangwu County and began training. Those who brought horses would give food and grass to the state and give another piece of silk."

During the past three years, Shao Shude spent a lot of energy to resettle 25,000 households in the four counties of Wu, Mianchi, Yuan and Wangwu. Hebei, Qiangxiang, Hewei, Qianghu, Qingtang and Tubo, and distributed land to them and selected doctoral students of agriculture.

Students come to guide farming and animal husbandry, and intensify training during slack farming, so that they can get used to the military atmosphere.

What is this? This is the deteriorated version of the palace soldiers, the enhanced version of the guard soldiers, and the reserve forces.

Facing Zhu Quanzhong, who has huge logistical advantages and terrain advantages, Shao Dashuai also fought his life. Wangwu County was only captured last year. In the first half of this year, I would not be able to harvest food. Yuan County will be much better, more or less

Some harvests and farming and fighting system have been barely stabilized.

Moreover, there are also many grass seeds in the mountains, the corners and rivers along the rivers, and the gentle hills and slopes, which have grown. The war horses and livestock on the front line can be pulled to the rear to grazing and rest at any time to reduce food consumption.

For this war, Shao Shude has tried his best to make up for his disadvantages.
