Chapter 2 Strategies
Chapter 2: Strategic planning
Since the death of Emperor Shi Huang, Guanzhong has started to build the tomb of Emperor Shi Huang while overhauling the Afang Palace, and has used up to one million civilians in the world.
According to the so-called "wonderful theory" of Zhao Gao and others Gong Wei's capital, all the civil servants recruited from the six countries of Guanzhong must bring their own food, and they are not allowed to buy a grain of food from Guanzhong, and the country does not pull up any grain from the treasury. In this way, two-thirds of the food brought by the civil servants recruited from the six countries of Guandong have been consumed before the food brought by the six countries of Guandong has reached Guanzhong. The food will be exhausted after a few days of repair. However, because the road is long, the food in the hometown cannot be provided for a while. Then when the war starts, a grain of grain cannot be transported into Guanzhong!
In order to survive, the civil servants of the six Kanto countries had to buy grain from the black market in Guanzhong at high prices to make a living. For a time, the prices of grain in Guanzhong soared and prices rose sharply. In just over a month, the civil servants of the six Kanto countries were exhausted and could not get their hometown to receive their homes, and immediately fell into a desperate situation. Therefore, a large number of civil servants rebeled from construction sites and sneaked into the civil servants of Guanzhong. At first, they just plundered ordinary farmers, but later their power grew stronger and they even took action against the large Guanzhong households.
For a moment, Guanzhong was in chaos, and poor Qin, which had always been known as "no thieves in Guanzhong", was in full swing!
Faced with the increasingly chaotic situation in Guanzhong, Zhao Gao and others did not consider fundamentally solving the problem, but simply ordered heavy troops to be suppressed. As a result, near Xianyang, a large number of mobs were captured and beheaded by officers and soldiers every day. For more than ten days, Xianyang Xiaoye killed more than 100,000 mobs, and the earth was red.
Under the tyranny of Zhao Gao and others, the chaos in Guanzhong was temporarily suppressed, but the food problem of the six nationals was still not fundamentally solved, leaving huge hidden dangers.
Poor, the civil servants from the six countries of Guandong had no food and did not dare to rob food, so the ending was starving to death! Soon, many starved corpses appeared in and outside the city, along the ditches on the roadside, most of them were civil servants who defected from the six countries of Guandong, and there were also local natives who had no choice but to make a living after being robbed. Poor, the Qin State's title of "No Hungry People in Guanzhong" has passed away for many years!
The poor ruling ability of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the subjects of the court and the people's hearts were quickly lost!
...
Soon, just when Guanzhong was in a turmoil, the news that Fusu led his army to attack the Central Plains and proclaimed emperor in Yingcheng came into Guanzhong, which caused an uproar: For a moment, from the guards of the pass, the county and county servants, the old people in the countryside, the ministers in the court, the princes and nobles all were shocked when they heard the news. In comparison, these people's trust and love for Fusu far exceeded Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and they immediately had strong doubts about Hu Hai's orthodox status, and at the same time they hated the treacherous party such as Zhao Gao.
Immediately, rumors spread everywhere in Guanzhong, and news that Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others usurped the throne and planned to rebel were spread everywhere.
The strong public opinion among the people made Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others very frightened, and immediately used the state machine in their hands to punish it. For a time, the blood of the massacre of the mob in Guanzhong had just dissipated, and a new round of massacre began: any court officials suspected of being dissatisfied with the government would be killed without mercy as long as they were captured, and they would be implicated in the nine tribes. At the same time, Zhao Gao and others also took the opportunity to reject the strangers and compete for power. Many upright ministers in the court were either killed or demoted or forced to escape from Qin. Meng Yi, Wang Ben and others, who were prepared, fled to the Beiyuan Mengtian military camp through a straight road as early as when the chaos in Guanzhong was in trouble, making Zhao Gao and others unable to start!
For a moment, the people in Guanzhong were panicked, and the government and the country were under the cruel pressure of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others, but they dared not speak out!
While Guanzhong, which had been calm for hundreds of years, was becoming increasingly in chaos, the war in the Central Plains became increasingly fierce. The rebels of various countries conquered the cities in Guandong, and the cities of Qin were lost one after another. In just a few months, there were not many cities in Guandong anymore.
After knowing that it was not appropriate to stop, Fusu captured Nanjun and headed north the next day, with his troops heading straight to Nanyang!
Along the way, relying on the powerful field battle and siege capabilities of the 400,000 Qin troops, more than a dozen county towns along the way were defeated and destroyed. In just half a month, they rushed from Nanjun City to Nanyang City, demonstrating the extremely terrifying combat power of the Qin regular army!
At this time, Zhou Wen and Zhou's army returned to Nanyang after being bloody when they attacked Hulao Pass. Zhou Wen, Zhou's army led 50,000 troops when they attacked Yingchuan. After sweeping across Yingchuan County, the troops had increased to 100,000. Nearly 30,000 were lost to attack Hulao Pass, and nearly 70,000 people returned to Nanyang City, and joined 20,000 defenders in Nanyang to fight against the Qin army! Yingchuan City was left to the 20,000 Allied troops led by Hengyang Jun Hengcheng, responsible for supporting the Zhao from Wei, Zhao, Qi and other places to rescue the various vassals in Nanyang!
For a moment, a huge storm began to pour under Nanyang City!
Under the city of Nanyang, in the tent of the Qin Dynasty's Grand Commander, Fusu and the generals were discussing matters.
Looking at the geographical environment around Nanyang City, Fusu thought for a while and said, "Dear generals, Nanyang City is located in a critical junction between north and south, and its geographical location is extremely important. Whether our army wants to advance into the Central Plains or the Central Plains to conquer Jiangnan in the south, this is a must-pass road. Moreover, this is the location of the two largest rebels Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and it is even more inevitable! At present, the bandits in Nanyang City have gathered nearly 100,000 troops and defended by the danger. What do you think?"
Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, according to the last general, if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are still familiar with the current affairs, it is the best choice to abandon the city and walk or surrender at the last minute. Now he has set up a desperate battle, which shows that he lacks strategic planning ability and is truly not afraid of a group of mobs!"
Zhao Tuo laughed and said, "General Li said that these rebels were farmers who farmed two or three months ago or the nobles of the six countries who were useless. How could they have much strategy? As long as His Majesty attacked, it is expected that they will be able to break Nanyang in more than ten days!"
Fusu thought for a while, looked at Zhang Liang, and smiled and said, "What do you think of the military advisor of Zifang?" Zhang Liang said, "Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were born as peasants, since they dared to start the cause and elected leader of the rebels in the world, they must have their own excellence! I don't think that without some support, these two people would never dare to trap Nanyang Gucheng to fight me in a decisive battle!"
Shi Lu frowned and realized something: "What the military advisor means is that this Nanyang City may be a bait?"
Fusu nodded and said, "Yes, Nanyang City is located in the world and is extremely easy to get the support of the princes of Guandong! I think Chen, the two thieves of Wu are willing to fight: use Nanyang City to restrain our 400,000 troops under the city, and at the same time, they summoned various troops from Guandong to support each other, attack our army, and attempted to annihilate our main force in one fell swoop and realize their dream of dominating the Central Plains!"
Qiang Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "These two little thieves are pretty, and he doesn't think about it. Can they win with their mobs??"
Li Xin smiled and said, "This is what you think. Those thieves may not agree with your Qiang General!" The generals laughed!
Fusu also smiled and said, "However, this is a good time. We can use a trick! Let's surround Nanyang first without attacking. Then, after the support troops arrive, we will first eat up each support troops, and comprehensively attack the vital forces of the various thieves in Kanto. Finally, we will free up our hands to solve Nanyang with all our efforts. This move is called 'encirclement point and attack the aid'!"
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Your Majesty is saying that I am thinking so. However, this move is a bit dangerous. If you are not careful and are attacked by the thief army inside and outside, it will be quite unfavorable to our army! Be careful!"
Fusu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, sometimes success and failure are often just a line of separation, so the generals must not make any changes! I immediately pass on my edict: From now on, each army will strengthen its camps and strictly guard the camps. At the same time, it will send a large number of rebels and sergeants from all directions. If there is any abnormal movement, come and report it immediately!" "Yes!" The generals took the order!
After receiving Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's close call for help, the princes who first rose up to worship the two gangs had different reactions:
The military officials, Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who had just captured Handan County, immediately sent Chen Yu to lead 50,000 troops south to rescue Nanyang, which was the most active and loyal team.
After a moment of hesitation, Wei Ju and Wei Bao, who occupied Dongjun and Hanoi, still put the overall situation first. Later, they used Wei Bao as a general to lead 20,000 troops and then arrived in Yingchuan, preparing to enter Nanyang.
Peng Yue, who had just occupied Dang County, had the weakest power, with only more than 10,000 people, but he also led 5,000 elite troops to head westward to Yingchuan.
Jing Ju took Qin Jia as the general and led a large army of 20,000 to advance west along the Huaihe River, slowly moving along the way, waiting and watching the situation.
Although Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Tian Heng and others, who occupied most of Qi, held more than 100,000 troops, had only sent 30,000 troops at this time, with Tian Rong as the commander, and rushed to Yingchuan.
Liu Bang, who only occupied Feng County, pretended to be deaf and dumb to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's edict, and only cared about expanding his own strength.
Xiang Liang, who occupied Kuaiji, was facing another difficult choice: Poyang ordered the 30,000 Qin troops led by Wu Rui were quickly advancing eastward, and they formed a horn with Cao Shen and Han Anguo's 80,000 troops, and clamped towards Kuaiji. For a moment, Kuaiji was in danger. At this time, Erxiang received Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's request for help. He was very happy. He abandoned Kuaiji with the slogan of rescue of the leader of the alliance, and led 40,000 main forces to attack Guangling, Huaiyin and other former places on Huai. While gathering strength, he temporarily avoided the main force of the Qin army's main force!
These scenes are full of all living beings, and those who are loyal can be there, those who are both snakes and rats, and those who are deaf and dumb. However, on the surface, there are nearly 200,000 rebels from various groups are meeting with Yingchuan, preparing to fight with the Qin army under Fusu!
Various kinds of information were passed through the Qin army's rebellion, and the efforts of the Momen continued to gather into Fusu's hands, closely watching the movements of the various rebel armies!
In early September, the hot weather turned slightly cooler, and Fusu, who had been holding a military meeting outside Nanjun City for nearly a month, finally held another military meeting!
Looking at the densely packed flags representing various forces on the nearby sand table, the Qin generals couldn't help but breathe in: It seems that there are many people coming to help the enemy!
Zhang Liang introduced to everyone: "Your Majesty, generals, the four enemy troops gathered in Yingchuan include Han Guang, Chen Yu, Wei Bao, and Peng Yue, about 100,000 people, about 700 miles away from me; in addition, a rebel army of Qin Jia is advancing west along the Huai River, about 700 miles away from me; while the 30,000 people of Tian Rong's troops are still far away from Dang County, about 1,500 miles away from here; Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's troops have no intention of coming to help at all, but they are doing their own things under the banner of rescue. At present, they have captured Guangling, Huaiyin, Changping and other places, and restored the former land of Huai. More than 100,000 troops of Wu Rui, Cao Shen and Han Anguo troops are gathered in Kuaiji, clearing down the remnants of the Xiang family, and stabilizing the place, and are unable to go north for a while! This is the current situation. Let me see, how should we defend against the enemy?"
Zhao Tuo was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, military advisors, all generals, it seems that the thieves from all over the country are not united, which gives our army the opportunity to win! The last general thought: 100,000 elite troops can be left under Nanyang City to restrain Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's main force, and the remaining 300,000 troops went north to conquer Yingchuan City in one fell swoop. Once the Yingchuan bandit army was destroyed, the three armies of Qin Jia, Tian Rong and Xiang Liang will definitely retreat without fighting. At that time, the army will return to Nanyang, and it will be easy to break this lonely city!"
Shi Lu was somewhat suspicious when he heard this: "What General Zhao said is quite reasonable, but there are still 40,000 Wei Ju's army on the front line of Dongjun in Hanoi and 30,000 Tian Rong's army. If our army cannot break through Yingchuan City in the short term, and these two armies come to support, they may be at risk of being attacked from both sides, and the war may be delayed! It seems a bit inappropriate!"
Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes, Yingchuan is also a county town. Although it is not as steep as Nanyang, it is also a strong city. If our army marched to the bottom of Nanchengyang and rushed to Tian Rong and Wei Ju two reinforcements to break the city before Yingchuan, it would not take more than seven days. Wouldn't it be too nervous? Moreover, Qin Jia went west along the Huai River and headed straight to the rear of our army's ration road. If the city was not smooth and Qin Jia suddenly advanced westward, wouldn't it endanger our army's ration road? I thought, I would rather send a light cavalry to advance overnight, first eliminate Qin Jia's troops in one battle, remove future troubles, and then the army besieged Nanyang City to attract Yingchuan's enemy troops to help. Our army set up an ambush and annihilated it in the middle!"
Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Everything has its pros and cons, and it is impossible to cover everything. If you set up an ambush in the city, the enemy troops on Yingchuan will eventually take the bait! Your Majesty, I insist on my opinion and ask Your Majesty to decide!"
Qiang Wei scratched his head and said with a smile: "I don't have that brain. I will follow Your Majesty's arrangement. I will fight as much as you say!" The generals laughed, this guy was worried!
Fusu blinked and smiled slowly, "You guys, your appetite is too small! It's too troublesome to solve it one by one!" Li Xin said in surprise: "Your Majesty is planning to attack in full swing at the same time!? If you dispose of the troops everywhere, you may give the enemy a chance to defeat them one by one. Please think twice!"
Fusu couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the generals have not guessed my idea of fighting. Zifang Military Advisor, where are you?" Zhang Liang was also a little confused and pondered for a while and said: "I am ignorant, I don't know what your Majesty's Holy Will!"
Fusu smiled and said, "My fighting method is false and real. I can't guess it even if I can't guess it! I think: I will send General Zhao Tuo to lead 10,000 light cavalry, hike at night, and specialize in traversing the mountain roads, crossing the Mianshui River, and sneak attack Qin Jia's troops! Qin Jia is a foolish person, and he will definitely focus on the road. He will never think that our army will send 10,000 light cavalry and 700 miles of attacks. In addition, our light cavalry is coming and going like the wind, so we can definitely catch him off guard! With strength, using cavalry against infantry, even if it is ten,000 to twenty thousand, it is a safe victory!"
Li Xin was a little surprised and said, "Your Majesty, even so, why not send more? Will it be a bit dangerous if you only send 10,000 yuan?"
Fusu smiled and said, "Not too many! There are few people, it is easy to move, and it is easy to hide. If there are many cavalrymen in our army now, and it is of other use. We can only send 10,000 people. Zhao Tuo, do you dare to go?"
Zhao Tuo heard this and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, use 10,000 cavalry to deal with 20,000 mobs. Finally, I will have the confidence to take Qin Jia's head to see Your Majesty!"
Fusu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you should take our military order immediately and order the troops to make adjustments. Move quietly that night, and make sure to succeed in the battle!" "Yes!" Zhao Tuo took the order and left!
Looking at the tent's generals' expressions, Fusu smiled and said, "This is the first strategy, and the second strategy is to annihilate Chen Sheng and the main force in Wu Guang's Nanyang City! From tomorrow, our army will dispatch 300,000 troops north to make a move to Yingchuan, leaving only the Qiang Wei general to command 100,000 old and weak soldiers to stay in Nanyang to restrain Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army. With the arrogance of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's two thieves, they acted in a dangerous temper. Seeing that our army's main force went north, only the old and weak soldiers were left behind, determined
However, I thought that all the reinforcements had arrived in Yingchuan. I was excited and could not help but want to eat the 100,000 old and weak soldiers left behind in my city, and then rushed north to attack our main force with Yingchuan reinforcements! So, the two thieves would have a trick to attack the camp at night, and our army took advantage of their main force to launch an attack camp. The opportunity of the emptiness of Nanyang City. The 300,000 northbound troops suddenly killed a retaliation and attacked them in one fell swoop!"
"How wonderful!" The generals exclaimed. Li Xin suddenly said, "But how can we make the 300,000 army sneak back to Nanyang City without being discovered by Chen and Wu thieves?"
Fusu smiled and said, "This plan is easy! Two days ago, our army should slowly advance northward, traveling fifty miles a day to calm the thieves' hearts. On the afternoon of the second day, after traveling about a hundred miles, a battalion was established. When it darkened, General Li Xin led 200,000 infantry to return to the army overnight and hurriedly to the Yushui east of Nanyang to hide. The mountains and forests near Yushui were high and dense for the army to hide. It was only thirty miles away from Nanyang. If there was any movement, you could support it at any time! In this way, the two thieves Chen and Wu would definitely be trapped and died!
At the same time, the rebellion between the 200,000 troops who sneaked southwards was that I personally led the remaining 50,000 elite cavalry and "Wolf Teeth" into Xuanyuan Mountain overnight, entered Songshan from the mountain path, and secretly ambushed near Yingchuan to find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy.
Of course, there are still General Shi Lu in the Xuying North at this time, leading 50,000 infantry soldiers to act as a false image. My 300,000 army is here, but if it suddenly stagnates for no reason, it will cause people to be suspicious. Therefore, I can pretend that I am not accustomed to the local conditions and suddenly become sick. I need to rest for several days to hide from the thief army of Nanyang and Yingchuan!”
"But, even if Your Majesty has 50,000 elite cavalry, how can he capture Yingchuan City, which has 100,000 heavy troops stationed in the enemy?" Zhang Liang was a little confused again!
Fusu smiled and said, "With a few enemies and a cavalry to seize the city, you will inevitably have to win by surprise! My strategy to defeat Yingchuan is: to use Yingbu, the guard of Hulao Pass, to lead 20,000 troops to lure him, leave Hulao, and attack Yingchuan straight, and attract Yingchuan's enemy troops to go out of the city to fight with him. So, when the two armies were fighting fiercely, our 50,000 iron cavalry suddenly came out, and we used 30,000 cavalry to attack the enemy troops out of the city. The other 20,000 troops cooperated with a group of hidden warriors in Yingchuan City to attack the southern city! In this way, attacking front and back, and the odd and righteousness will be combined, Yingchuan will be defeated! In this way, three-pronged approaches can be used to solve the problem in one battle!"
When the generals heard this, they were shocked and said to themselves: "Your Majesty is so sinister to use troops. You are using strange things everywhere. I feel pitiful for those thieves!" Shi Lu said in a daze: "When did Your Majesty have already conquered a group of warriors in Yingchuan City?"
Fusu thought about it and decided to tell the generals, and smiled slightly, "This group of warriors mainly comes from the Momen. As the capital of the old South Korean, Yingchuan is one of the most important strongholds of the Momen. Before the war, he specially ordered me to strengthen Yingchuan's strength. He just waited for our army to come and cooperated to capture the city!"
"Momen!?" The Qin generals opened their mouths so that they almost stuffed a whole chicken! Qiang Wei was stunned for a while before saying in surprise: "Your Majesty, you are not wrong!? Momen is a dead enemy of Qin for all generations. How could he obey Your Majesty's orders and cooperate with our army to capture the city!?"
The generals nodded like chickens pecking at rice. For the Qin people, it was much easier to make them believe that sows would climb trees than to believe that the Momen would listen to the orders of the Qin army, and even Zhang Liang looked shocked!
Fusu was happy and said lightly: "Of course Momen has to obey my orders, because I am the 'juren' of Momen, and I have been a 'just twenty years now!"
"Ba!" Everyone fell off their chins, all dumbfounded and didn't know what to say! The Momen had followed Fusu's orders before, and the generals thought that there might be any exchange of interests. Now Fusu actually said that he was the prince of the past, and today's Qin Emperor had been the "master" of the Momen who had been nearly twenty years. The surprise of this news was no less than that of a living god falling from the sky!
Li Xin suddenly pinched his thighs and felt very painful. He was sure he was not dreaming. Then he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this news is amazing. Didn't this Momen always oppose our Qin State and advocate "peace, stopping the sword"? Why are we now brothers of the same masters with us??" Li Xin wanted to break his head but couldn't understand why the "cat" and "mouse" who are as powerful as water and fire can become friends!
Fusu smiled and said, "It's not surprising. For hundreds of years since the establishment of the Momen, they have been seeking the best way to stop martial arts in the world. But all along, they have been like a firefighter to extinguish fires everywhere. The knowledgeable people in the Momen gradually realized that their way of doing things might be serious, so they began to seek the right solution.
About twenty years ago, by chance, I met Master Fang Zhong, the former "Juzi" of Momen. I told him: Only by unification can there be true peace in the world, and I promised him that after ascending the throne, I would definitely be light in taxes and taxes and treat all the people of the world with kindness. Master Fang Zhong realized his enlightenment and handed over the position of "Juzi" of Momen to me, hoping that I could lead Momen to realize the ideal of truly silence in the world!
This is the origin of my position as a "big son". The nine brothers and sisters who have been with me for many years, Wuxin and others who have been with me are all the guardians of the Mo Sect to protect me! Now I understand why I can mobilize the Mo Sect!"
All the generals listened to Fusu's words like a book of heaven. They were probably too stimulating, and their heads were probably in a flash. After a while, they were all quietly scared in the tent. After a long time, a loud laugh came from the tent: "Hahaha! It's amazing, it's amazing! Your Majesty is really a god. Zhang Liang was convinced, completely convinced!"
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other and laughed together. Li Xin said with a strange expression: "No wonder in the past twenty years, the Mo Sect has rarely been born to fight against our army. It turns out that His Majesty is commanding behind the scenes. It seems that we will be brothers and brothers with the Mo Sect in the future! Hey, why do you always feel a little awkward!" The generals immediately smiled again.
Wuxin and the other five couldn't help but laugh behind Fusu's back. Wuxin hugged and clasped his fists and said, "Dear generals, I'm sorry, I've kept it from everyone for a long time! In fact, we've been a family long time! Haha!"
Fusu also smiled and said, "You know how to get used to it! Look, Wuxin and others have been with me for nearly twenty years. Haven't they been very good? Okay, everyone should go back. The 300,000 troops will set off the camp and head north early tomorrow morning!"
"Hey!" The generals responded, but Zhang Liang was anxious: "Hey, Your Majesty, all the generals are assigned. Where can I go?" Fusu patted his forehead and smiled: "Look at my memory, I have said too much, and I almost forgot about the military advisor. Zifang is very smart, but he can plan thousands of miles away, so he stays at the city of Nanyang to take charge with General Qiang Wei! Otherwise, I will be a little worried about General Qiang's irritable temper!"
Chapter completed!
