Vol 4 Chapter 1298: Xinjun

Qi Ningwei pondered, and finally said: "Is there a map here?"
"Yes, Guo Gong waits." Wei Shutong got up and went to fetch a map personally and spread it on the table. Qi Ning actually saw this map quite simply, and the terrain in Chu State was quite complete. But the border area of ​​the Northern Han Dynasty is very vague. In addition to some extremely important urban landscapes, many mountains and rivers are actually ambiguous.
Qi Ning knew that it was never easy to make a map, but Chu had always dreamed of getting a map of the Northern Han Dynasty, but it was precisely because of this that Chu Guo always wanted to get a world map from the Northern Han Yu prince.
"The main force of Dong Qi is currently stationed in Puyang." Wei Shutong extended his guidance on one of the maps: "It is not too far from Maling Mountain here, but Maling Mountain is already occupied by our army. If Qi Army wants to return to Linzi, You must lay Maling Mountain. "
Qi Ning was left behind with one hand, and he found Dingtao on the map. Dingtao was located in the southwest of Puyang. In fact, it was not far from Puyang, and Maling Mountain, Puyang and Dingtao just became a triangle.
"The Han army laid down heavy soldiers in Liangjun." Wei Shutong said again: "It is said that when our army went north, the Han army initially insisted on the first line of deadly fighting north of Huaishui, but then quickly withdrew its troops and retreated to the Dingtao line. After the Qi people took Puyang, the Han army abandoned Dingtao and retreated to Liangjun. "
Liang Jun is located in the northwest of Dingtao, but it is just west of Puyang. From the map, Liang Jun has formed a triangle with Puyang and Dingtao.
Qi Ning was quite surprised to see that the battle situation had fallen into such a complicated situation.
The Chu army ’s strategic plan to go north actually has two purposes. The first purpose is naturally to lure the main force of the Qi army, and the second purpose is to take advantage of Qi ’s emptiness to capture the enemy, while the main force restrains the Han army and the Qi army. The main force of the army, to buy time for the partial army that attacked Dongqi.
The civil war in the Northern Han Dynasty, the Chu army headed north, and the posture of fighting a deadly battle with the Han army. Naturally, Qi State mistakenly thought that the real purpose of the Chu State was to take advantage of the opportunity to cut the Han. It may be thought that the goal of Chu's northern expedition would be them.
In the corner of Dongqi, where the land is thin and the population is sparse, the civil war in the Northern Han Dynasty was the expansion opportunity that Dongqi dreamed of. Such opportunities, naturally, cannot be missed by the Dongqi people. It is to wait for the Dongqi people to get out of the nest and take the opportunity to make trouble.
Qi Ning thought that in order to confuse the Eastern Qi people, Chu Jun would inevitably attack the city to the north, but he would not do his utmost. However, in the current situation, Chu Jun ’s progress is obviously deeper than Qi Ning ’s expectations. Ding Tao has entered. The hinterland of the Northern Han Dynasty.
"Zhong Liao didn't get enemies on the front line of Huai Shui, and retreated to Liang Jun. Is it because of Qu Yuan in the northwest?" Qi Ning asked.
He received the battle report before. Although the Chu army went north, although it crossed the Huai River, it was blocked by the Han army. Zhong Liao was a veteran of the battlefield. Although the Northern Han court had a drastic change, Zhong Liao did not neglect the front line because of the change of the court. According to the defense strategy, Chu Jun is likely to take the opportunity to go north, so a defense line was built north of Huai Shui, and the battle between the two sides was as deadlocked again as the previous situation.
Qi Ning knew that if there were no accidents, Qinhuai Corps, commanded by Yue Huanshan, would have a hard time breaking through Zhong Liao ’s defense line, and the Han army then retreated to Liang County only because of Qu Yuangu.
Wei Shutong first said: "It is precisely that Qu Yuangu came out of Tongguan to attack Luoyang, and Zhong Liao's backyard caught fire. Naturally, he could not continue to stalemate with our army and quickly withdraw his troops, but ...!" Sliding his finger to Luoyang: "Tongguan After being blocked, Qu Yuangu did not retreat, and he did not make much progress in attacking Luoyang. If it were not because Bei Tanghao was suddenly stabbed, the Northwest Army of Qu Yuangu was likely to be wiped out under Luoyang City.
"Bei Tanghao was stabbed?" Qi Ning was taken aback, and the Xuanyuan burst suddenly changed color.
Wei Shutong nodded and said: "It is precisely that Beitang Hao was assassinated and there was a chaos in Luoyang City. Some people secretly contacted Qu Yuangu when he saw the bad situation. It is said that Qu Yuangu bought the gatekeeper and the city gate opened wide. The Northwest Army rushed into Luoyang immediately, but the Northwest Army did not plunder in Luoyang City. Instead, it maintained order, but just slaughtered Beitanghao ’s gang of dead parties, and did not involve too many people. In addition, the side led by Beitangzhao There was a mutiny in the army, and Bei Tangzhao was escorted to Luoyang by his soldiers. Bei Tangfeng slaughtered Bei Tangzhao in the name of rebellion. The battle for the throne of the Northern Han Dynasty eventually defeated Bei Tangfeng. "
Qi Ningwan didn't expect such a result.
Undoubtedly, the important reason for changing the situation of the Northern Han Dynasty was that Bei Tanghao was assassinated and asked, "Who was Beitanghao stabbed?"
Wei Shutong shook his head and said: "Xiaguan really doesn't know the specific truth of the matter." Just finished, there was a voice from outside: "Adult, there is an urgent report!"
Wei Shutong got up and went out quickly, and soon came back, holding a letter that had been opened, and presented the letter to Qi Ning: "Duke Guo, Bei Tangfeng has ascended to the throne, and Qu Yuangu was sealed as Prime Minister, also awarded the title of King Jin, Zhong Liao was awarded the position of Sima, and granted the title of Duke of Anguo. "
Qi Ning glanced at the letter and handed it to Xuanyuan.
Wei Shu, who is also the history of Xichuan assassination, is now impossible for Chu Army to go north. He naturally cannot turn a blind eye. Under his hands, there is a spy to inquire about the frontline information.
"Guogong, it seems that Zhong Liao and Bei Tangfeng have reached an agreement." Xuanyuan glanced at him, and then said: "If the humble office did not make a mistake, Qu Yuangu attacked Luoyang, and Zhong Liao's logistics could not be provided, and he could only withdraw his troops. However, after Bei Tangfeng won Luoyang, he knew that no one could stop the Chu army from advancing northward except Zhong Liao from the Northern Han Dynasty. Therefore, he immediately reused Zhong Liao, added officials to the prince, and Zhong Liao was worry-free. He was firmly on the front line of Liang Jun. He held Liang Jun, and he held the place that must pass to Luoyang. As long as Liang Jun is not lost, Luoyang will not be broken. "
Wei Shutong nodded his head and said: "Xuanyuan Xiaowei said what he said. Zhong Liao has not participated in the fight for the prince. For him, no matter who is on the throne, it has nothing to do with him. He is a battlefield The general, all he has to do is to defend his country. Since the throne of the North and North Han Dynasty has been decided, and Bei Tangfeng supports him, he naturally does not need to be able to survive with Bei Tangfeng. "Raised his hand and said:" But now the result It ’s not a bad thing for me in Chu Kingdom. Among the Northern Han princes, Bei Tangfeng ’s ability is the weakest, and Qu Yuan Gu is a mediocre and incompetent person. Han is not a blessing. "
"Now that my Chu army is facing the front, Beihan needs to rely on Zhong Liao to stop our army." Qi Ning said: "But Zhong Liao is not a close believer of Bei Tangfeng. He holds heavy soldiers, and Bei Tangfeng will never rest assured. Since Qu Yuangu is the great Sima and masters the power of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Han Dynasty, of course, Zhong Liao will not be allowed to hold the heavy soldiers. "
Wei Shutong said with a smile: "Guo Gong said what he said. At present, Bei Tangfeng wants to use Zhong Liao, and he will naturally be added to the rank of the prince, and even named him the prince. At that time, Bei Tang celebrated the frontier and general Qi. Yu Liangcai can be said to be the pillar of Qingtian in the Northern Han Dynasty, but he was only named as Changlinghou. Although Zhong Liao was also a general, he was far from Bei Tangqing ’s strength, and was even named as Duke. "It's ridiculous." Hey said with a smile, "Xiaguan can assert that if Beihan's dilemma is resolved, the first thing Beitangfeng has to deal with is Zhong Liao. Zhong Liao will never have a good ending."
"That's the matter." Qi Ning frowned: "The Huai Shui is blocked by the Dong Qi naval squadron at the moment, blocking the logistics supply of the Qin Huai Corps. How long can the Qin Huai Corps be able to support?" Qi Hui will reconcile with the Northern Han Dynasty, then Qi Jun will leave Puyang and join forces with Zhong Liao to attack our army. "
Wei Shutong said: "Since the court knows this situation, the emperor Shengming can naturally come up with a perfect strategy. Although the Donghai Marine Division under Xin Ci failed, he still retained some of his strength. Hearing that Xin Ci returned to the East China Sea, the court also decided Step up to build a warship ...! "
"Building warships can't be completed overnight, and to train an elite navy, it can't be done in a short time." Qi Ning sighed: "The East China Sea Marine Division suffered a heavy blow and was unable to fight East Qi in a short time. The sailors pose a threat. "
"Don't worry too much," Wei Shutong said: "Although the logistics of the Qinhuai Army were cut off, our army has already controlled the three counties of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the expropriation of grains on the spot can support it for a while, but it is east. Qi Shuishi can only swim in the water. Their logistics is really a big problem. Without logistics supply, they will not be able to support it for long. Now it depends on who can support it for a longer time. "
Xuanyuan broke into a little pondering, and then said: "Our army is collecting food on the spot, I am afraid that ... will cause a civil change."
Qi Ning also nodded slightly, knowing that nearly 100,000 troops of the Qinhuai Army had no logistics, they could only collect grains and grasses locally, but how could the local people offer their grains and grasses, and inevitably there would be a forced grain collection, such a move In the future, it will naturally cause greater hostility to the local people, so it will arouse the turmoil of the local people, which is also inevitable.
"Is it possible to requisition the supply of grain and grass from Qi to supply pottery?" Qi Ning thought about it and asked, "If it is possible to raise grain and grass from Qi, it will not matter if the Qi of the East Qi blocked the Huai water."
Wei Shutong said: "If Duan Shao is dead ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Guogong's method is naturally very good. But Duan Shao is still alive now, and everywhere he knows that their prince escaped, they will not It is so easy to succumb. It is naturally possible for the soldiers and horses stationed in Qi to collect grains, but it is not easy to be transported from Qi to Dingtao. The gangsters in Qi will certainly intercept along the way, and the troops stationed in East Qi are weak. At present, we can never divide troops to protect food, so ...! "
Qi Ning nodded slightly, naturally knowing that Wei Shutong was not false.
Although Linzi was broken, Qi State did not mean to perish. In a short period of time, Chu State could not completely control Dong Qi. Even if it was forcibly collected, it would be transported from Qi State to Dingtao. The team is bound to be intercepted on the way, and it is not easy to send the grain and grass smoothly.
