Chapter 2369 Then flicker
"Cheng Chanjun, what are your opinions?" Yan Yu asked Xianyu.
The salted fish pondered for a moment, and at this time he was thinking quickly in his mind, which one is more beneficial to the Wei army or not?
The defensive situation of Lecheng is relatively clear. Lecheng is definitely a solid city. Not only is the city wall solid, but the defense facilities are also complete. It is definitely not easy for the Wei army to capture Lecheng.
Therefore, if the Wei army surrounded Lecheng, it would not necessarily launch a strong attack on Lecheng. The common tactic of the Wei army was to siege the city and attack aid. If Yan Yujun, who was stationed in Nanzheng, could go to Lecheng to rescue, he could just step into the Wei army's encirclement.
Although Yan Yu's army had more than 10,000 people, they were all pieced together by guerrillas from all over the country. They were combined with the orders of the Hanzhong governor alone, and did not form a unified system, so naturally the combat power could not be compared with those well-trained armies.
If such an army comes to defend the city, it may be able to support it, but if they are pulled out to the wilderness to fight, they will be destroyed in minutes.
Xianyu thought about it secretly and felt that it would be better to let Yan Yu's army leave the city. So Xianyu said: "I believe that Lecheng is an important defense center in Hanzhong. Once Lecheng is lost, the east side of Hanzhong will inevitably be open, and Nanzheng can also defend it. Although Wang She did not obey the command of the governor, it is infuriating that the war is coming, and the governor still needs to put the overall situation first and do not care about Wang She and others. On the one hand, it can also reflect the governor's elegance, and on the other hand, it can also abandon those disagreements. Now that the people who rebel against Wei are invading, our army should still unite and work together to defend against foreign enemies."
Yan Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "With Cheng's intention to join the army, should I send troops to rescue Lecheng?"
Xianyu saw Yan Yu's hesitation. It was obvious that Yan Yu did not want to send troops. Whether it was Seoul or Lecheng, the current command of the army was not in Yan Yu's hands, so Yan Yu naturally did not want to do thankless things.
The main reason why Yan Yu asked about Xianyu was that Yan Yu's previous plan was very successful, so Yan Yu still recognized the ability of salted fish. However, it was obvious that the salted fish had different opinions from him this time, which obviously made Yan Yu a little confused, and he didn't know whether to listen to the salted fish or not.
Xianyu had already made up his mind to send Yan Yu to the encirclement of the Wei army, so he naturally would not give up easily. Since Yan Yu was not willing to send troops, he would continue to fool him until he was willing to send troops.
"Now the great enemy is in front of him, the governor, as the supreme commander of Hanzhong, should abandon his personal grudges and help him. Wang She guards Lecheng and is isolated and helpless, and will not be able to hold on for a long time. If the governor leads his troops to personally and lift the siege of Lecheng, Wang She will definitely be grateful and will follow his orders. This time, the governor can use this to conquer the hearts of the people in Hanzhong. Even Jiang Bin, Fu Qian and others, seeing that the governor is so righteous and can put the overall situation first, he will definitely abandon Jiang Wei and join the governor. It will be a matter of time before the Hanzhong army returns."
Xianyu knew that Yan Yu was thinking about the great power of military power in Hanzhong. As for the overall situation and the great righteousness first, it was just a big hat to fool Yan Yu. As long as he had the chance to seize the military power in Hanzhong this time, Yan Yu was still very likely willing to send troops.
Sure enough, Yan Yu was quite moved after hearing what Xianyu said.
After becoming the Hanzhong Governor, he could not get the real power of the Hanzhong Governor. This really made Yan Yu very depressed, so Yan Yu had always thought about how to take back the military power.
After Xianyu helped him get control of 10,000 soldiers, Yan Yu became more active. He wanted to seek greater power and wanted to include all the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong under his command.
However, an imperial edict from the court poured a basin of cold water on Yan Yu, which made him take it seriously and did not dare to seize power blatantly. But despite this, Yan Yu was still unwilling to accept it. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely not give up.
Now that he heard Xianyu's words, Yan Yu's thoughts naturally became alive again. Yan Yu didn't care about the country's righteousness, but if he had the opportunity to take Hanzhong troops under his command, he would naturally be extremely happy.
However, Yan Yu was so worried that the Wei army was so powerful. Will there be any danger in sending troops this time?
So Yan Yu said: "The army against Wei is so fierce and stubborn, may it be difficult to win this time when the troops are sent?"
Xianyu smiled slightly and said, "Governor, don't worry, the information coming from the front is extremely detailed. This time, the Wei army sent troops from Ziwu Road, and only one battalion was trapped. It is probably a test. I want to see how strong our army's defense is in Hanzhong. If we can win, the subsequent army will arrive. If we cannot win, we will retreat and will never come again. Therefore, the Governor will send troops this time, so that he will not dare to have the idea of spying on Hanzhong."
Yan Yu said with a grudge that he was still worried: "The Wei army had nearly 20,000 troops, while our army had only 10,000. The power gap was huge. How could we win?"
Xianyu smiled and said, "Although the Wei army is known as 20,000, the only one who can fight is 15,000 people in the Shantou camp. The remaining miscellaneous soldiers are not worth worrying. What's more, the Shantou camp is only a second-class army in the Wei army's battle sequence, and is not the main elite of the Wei army. Although the governor has only 10,000 people, the governor should not forget that Wang She of Lecheng also has 10,000 people. The governor sent troops to save Lecheng, how could Wang She remain indifferent? He would definitely send troops to greet him. If the governor can cooperate with Wang She and attack from both inside and behind, he will definitely defeat the Wei Shantou camp. But if the governor does not move his troops and sits on the road and dies in Lecheng, I'm afraid the court will not explain it."
Yan Yu heard Xianyu's analysis and said terribly, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly to say yes.
Although Yan Yu relied on flattery and flattering, he still had some ability to lead the army. Otherwise, he would not have been in the position of governor of Yong'an for so long. This time he was appointed governor of Hanzhong, Yan Yu was even more indifferent and hoped to seize all the power of Jiang Wei, so that he would take over Hanzhong and lead the battle against Wei.
Yan Yu even had the intention to replace Jiang Wei, which proved that Yan Yu was not useless in leading the army. If he really had no ability, he would have given up long ago, and he would not have the intention to fight with Jiang Wei.
After listening to Xianyu's analysis, Yan Yu also thought that he was right. If Lecheng was in danger and he did not send troops to rescue him, then the news would be heard in the court, and Huang Hao might not be able to protect him.
In his position, he had to plan his own affairs. As the governor of Hanzhong, Yan Yu naturally had to shoulder this burden. So Yan Yu followed Xianyu's advice and decided to send troops to Lecheng.
