Chapter 806 Choice
Ju Fu was the most prudent, and he raised a question: "But from the general's point of view, Cao Zhen came too quickly."
“A few days after Junhou conquered Anding, he had already appeared below Xiaoguan. What if the puppet emperor of Wei instructed Cao Zhen to use Anding as bait..."
Guan Ji shook her head: "It is precisely because he came so quickly that this explanation is reasonable."
She pointed to Xinping County in the southeast of Anding. "According to Hu Zun, after he learned that Yuezhi City was lost, he had already sent people to Chang'an to ask for help."
“So Xian Yufu’s original intention was to come to Jing, but Linjing surrendered without a fight, so he could only retreat and defend Xinping County.”
“Xian Yufu will definitely send someone to inform Cao Zhen when he learns that Anding has been lost.”
When Guan Ji said this, she also pointed to Qian County south of Xiaoguan, "According to Staff Officer Shi, Cao Zhen was not in Ziwu Valley from the beginning, but secretly assembled an army in Qian County."
“So Cao Zhen knew that the time for An Ding to fall should be four to five days after we entered Linjing.”
"The king has been appeasing the officials for more than ten days, and at the same time, he has to be on guard against Xian Yufu from Xinping County."
"Cao Zhen took the opportunity to go north from the central road. Calculating the time, it happened to be right."
As the first commander-in-chief of Ji Han, Guan Yunchang had his own merits.
Under the words and deeds of Guan Laojunhou, Guan Ji became known as the Tiger Girl.
She is not good at other places, but in military affairs, she has a unique vision.
This time the silk is peeled off and the cocoon is pulled out, and the silk is perfectly matched.
Since she was so sure, Alang... of course chose to believe her!
After eliminating all the impossibilities, no matter how unreasonable the remaining one is, it is the best explanation.
So Feng Junhou asked Xiang Shibao with concern:
“Is that mountain path often used by people?”
If people often leave, it means that it is well known, and Cao Zhen will most likely take precautions in advance.
Shi Bao quickly replied:
"Going back to the king, Longchi Mountain is where strange people live. If people often walk there, why would those strange people be willing to live there?"
"This is a good idea." Feng Yong touched his chin, "If it's like the attack on Anding, we divide our troops into two groups. General Guan, you lead the army to defend Wushi City, and then I will lead the people..."
"no!"
“You are not allowed to be a prince!”
Before Feng Yong finished speaking, not to mention Guan Ji, even Zhang Yi and others objected in unison.
“Absolutely not!”
With a stern look on her face, Guan Ji stared at Feng Yong, "Cao Cao used to cut off people's food supply back then. Cao Zhen followed Cao Cao in his early years, how could he not beware of this?"
"Therefore, you can try to attack the grain road secretly, but you must not rely on it."
When seizing Anding, Alang could lead troops to Yuezhi City because he brought cavalry, as well as rangers and barbarians to lead the way.
Even if something happens, the people from the guard camp can run back with him.
But this time is different.
Go here to harass the Wei army's food route. If it succeeds, it will force Cao Zhen to retreat. If it fails, there will be no return.
How could the tiger girl of the Guan family let her husband take risks?
To be honest, no one dares to say that they are completely sure about this battle.
Not to mention Cao Zhen's superior troops at the front, there is also Xian Yufu's army at the rear of An Ding.
And to stabilize the newly surrendered army, the day of surrender is still short and the people's hearts are unstable.
It's okay if the situation is stable, but if something goes wrong, it's very easy to mutiny again.
The so-called internal and external troubles are nothing more than this.
Although they are thousands of miles apart, Zhang Jiawen and Guan Jiawu in Jincheng had a common point of view:
The army of Xiaowei Mansion can be lost in Anding, but Xiao Wenhe must not fall into the hands of thieves.
"Even if the prince does nothing, as long as he sits in the position of commander-in-chief, no matter what happens, the people below him will have a backbone."
Guan Ji glared at Feng Yong, "There is a saying in the art of war: Use the right combination to win by surprise. The dangerous move of the army is a last resort. Defeating the enemy with an upright division is the right way."
“Our school captain’s house has armored cavalry, swordsmen, heavy crossbows, and some of the best soldiers in the world. When the king calls, the cavalry will follow.”
"Even if you can't retreat from the enemy, you can still protect yourself. When will it be time for the prince to personally take part in danger? The prince will raise his troops for a thousand days, and it is the right time to use them."
It is precisely because she has so many elite soldiers and generals on hand that Guan Ji is confident that even if she loses this battle, she can escape back to Longyou with her men.
Feng Junhou was humiliated by his mother-in-law in front of the generals. At that moment, his face was a little embarrassed, and he forced himself to defend himself:
“For a duel between two armies, you are enough to know the relevant generals! And this war is of great importance. All generals in the army must cooperate to form eight formations and are not allowed to leave.”
"Only the Dark Night Camp and the Guard Camp can be mobilized. If I don't go there, who should let me go?"
Guan Ji was too lazy to pay attention to this man. Her eyes swept down and fell on one person:
“Huo Shaoxian, do you dare to accept it?”
After Huo Yi entered the Huqiang Colonel's Mansion, he was first sent to the Modao Brigade as a trainee captain. After becoming a full-time officer, he was sent to the engineering battalion, the cavalry camp, etc. Basically, all the battalions in the Colonel's Mansion were transferred.
This time out, he will coordinate Hu Qiyi's army and logistics.
It’s just a brick anyway, you can move it wherever you need it.
There is no other way, Huo Yi came from the imperial palace, so he is naturally a staunch supporter of Mrs. Zhang.
The actual person in charge of military affairs in the Xiaowei Mansion is Mrs. Guan.
Huo Ge wants to have a fixed battalion like Zhao Guang, Zhang Yi and others, unless Feng Yong personally arranges it.
It's just that Guan Ji is in charge of military affairs and Zhang Xingyi is in charge of political affairs. This is a tacit understanding.
Feng Yong cannot easily break this balance.
Of course, if he really wants to break it, it’s not impossible.
But that is obviously favoring Xiaosi...
The consequences may be serious. For example, the eldest wife of the Feng family may have her hair fried.
Huo Yi also knows his embarrassing position, but he is not in a hurry because he is still young.
At least compared to most people in the Xinghan Club, he already had a very high start.
In addition, the things in the Captain's Mansion are all knowledge that cannot be learned outside, which just makes him calm down and learn more.
As long as you have the experience in the Xiaowei Mansion, you will already have sufficient qualifications and knowledge even if you leave the Xiaowei Mansion in the future.
So at this military meeting, like Shi Bao, he quietly found a corner and prepared to listen to the speeches of the senior leaders.
Unexpectedly, General Guan actually called his name.
Huo Ge subconsciously stood up, stood at attention and said: "The general will definitely live up to his mission!"
Then I realized something was wrong: I can finally lead an army alone into battle?
At the thought of this, Huo Ge became excited.
Although it is only temporary, it is still leading alone!
He never expected that Guan Ji would entrust such an important matter to him.
As a die-hard member of the Han royal family and a young man, Huo Ge is in his hot-blooded age, so naturally he is not willing to be lonely.
The revival of the Han Dynasty is imminent, and it is up to the men to make contributions!
There was no chance before, but now the opportunity has finally come, how can we miss it?
As for whether it is dangerous or not... In the current situation, wouldn't it be dangerous to face off against Cao Cao's thieves with superior numbers?
"good!"
Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to arrange the partial troops sent out more appropriately?"
Feng Junhou unknowingly was taken over by his mother-in-law to take the lead in military discussions.
And it seems that this woman is planning to become a mascot in the future war.
Thinking again about the handsome sword that he gave her and that she has not yet taken it back. It seems that she cannot take it back now.
Thinking of this, Feng Junhou couldn't help but clicked his tongue:
“The Dark Night Battalion is good at sneaking in for sneak attacks, so this is the perfect place to take advantage of it. In addition to the Second Guards Battalion, there is also the Wudang Battalion. Many of the battalions are good at walking on mountain roads, so some of them can be transferred.”
Dark Night Battalion is a battalion trained by Feng Yong according to the special operations subjects of later generations. It is quite good at sneaking into sneak attacks, killing people, setting fires, disrupting the rear and wreaking havoc in the rear areas.
Guan Ji nodded, "The arrangement of the Lord and Marquis is very comprehensive."
Then she looked at Jufu: "General Jufu, please make arrangements when the time comes."
)
Jufu hurriedly cupped his fists and said.
Guan Ji looked at Shi Bao again: "Advisor Shi, General Huo is leading the army to attack Cao Cao's food route. You will be needed to lead the way."
“No!”
Shi Bao responded quickly.
Guan Ji looked at the remaining people with sharp eyes:
“This battle is related to the survival of our army, and it is also an important step for the Han Dynasty to regain Guanzhong. Please work together!”
Everyone agreed enthusiastically.
Only Shi Bao was secretly speechless when he looked at Feng Junhou, who was sitting on the commander's seat with some lack of interest.
He had never seen anything like this.
The generals under his command were actually able to issue orders over their commanders, and it seemed that others took it for granted.
This is truly a wonder!
After all matters were discussed, Feng Yong, as the coach, spoke again:
"Everyone, don't be too nervous. Although Cao Zhen has temporarily cut off our retreat, he also has to face the pincer attack between Longyou and us."
“At the same time, the prime minister of Hanzhong will definitely think of ways to send troops to force Cao Zhen to retreat.”
"The most important thing for us now is to grit our teeth and withstand the attack from Cao Zhen and Xian Yufu. As time goes by, Cao Zhen will definitely be unable to bear it before we do."
Xian Yufu will definitely echo Cao Zhen's actions and attack him from the north and the south.
And his own military strength is already inferior to Cao Zhen's, so he definitely cannot divide his troops any more.
So the south side mainly relies on Hu Qiyi's army, as well as the newly surrendered Wei army.
Cao Zhen, the great Sima of the Wei State, personally led the army and marched at Xiao Pass, directly cutting off the connection between Anding and Longyou. This news could not be concealed, and Feng Yong did not want to conceal it.
After the internal military meeting in Xiaowei Mansion, Feng Yong entered Linjing City and had a secret conversation with Hu Zun, the content of which was not known to outsiders.
After the conversation, Feng Yong led the army back to the north, preparing to fight with Cao Zhen.
Hu Zun, on the other hand, began to take over the defense in the south of Anding.
The king's flag changes at the top of the city, and the stable situation changes so fast that people can't even react.
The former Jingyang guard general Hu had only had a few days of peaceful life and had to start running around again.
“General, you called me?”
General Hu's face turned red, and the smell of wine came out as soon as he opened his mouth.
Hu Zun, who was standing at the top of the city and looking south, frowned slightly: "It's broad daylight, have you been drinking?"
Shoujiang Hu smiled bitterly: "It's all an old friendship, so I have to go to the banquet."
A sneer appeared on Hu Zun's lips, and he asked sarcastically: "What are they planning to do again?"
General Hu looked a little embarrassed: "It's just a reminiscence of the past..."
“What old days are we talking about? The old kindness of Wei State?”
The contemptuous look on Hu Zun's mouth faded, and there was no longer any expression on his face, so he asked in a calm tone.
General Hu's face suddenly turned pale, and he said: "General, you know, there are some things that I can't help myself..."
Hu Zun sighed lightly, "I know that even I can't help myself sometimes."
When Hu Shoujiang saw what Hu Zun said, his heart moved and he asked tentatively:
“General, what do you think will happen this time?”
“Is this what you want to ask? Or is this what they want to ask?”
Hu Zun asked back.
General Hu Shou could not speak.
Hu Zun did not embarrass him and handed him a piece of paper: "The cells in Linjing are a bit too empty. Send these people to the prison according to this list."
General Hu Shou took it over with some confusion. When he saw the name clearly, his face finally turned completely white.
Because almost all the people who invited him to drink just now were here.
There are even some people from the Hu family.
“General, what does this mean?”
General Hu's hand holding the paper was trembling a little. He felt that this thin piece of paper weighed a thousand kilograms, and he almost couldn't hold it.
“Just do what I tell you.”
Hu Zun did not explain, "Don't worry, everyone who should understand will understand. Also, if someone wants to take the initiative to enter, just lock him in."
Going to jail on your own initiative?
General Hu was even more confused.
There are still such people in this world?
After talking to Feng Yong, General Xiahou Ba of Wei State was able to move around in a small courtyard to a limited extent.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this incident came out, he was thrown into prison again.
Then he saw a group of people following his footsteps and being escorted into prison by soldiers.
“What does this mean?”
When Xiahou Ba saw Hu Zun coming in with a food box, he couldn't help but asked strangely.
“They are just families who want to rebel against Han and return to Wei.”
Hu Zun sneered, "Feng Junhou came with his army. On the surface, they were willing to submit to the Han Dynasty. But now that they heard that the Wei army was powerful, they couldn't wait to plot to return to Wei."
"At this time, it is natural to arrest them first to avoid causing trouble."
Hu Zun said while helping to set up the food, "General Xiahou, before Feng Junhou left, he specifically told me to take good care of the general."
"It's just that at this moment, the general has to suffer some injustice, so please don't blame me."
Xiahou Ba didn't mind: "It's a blessing that those who were defeated and captured did not lose their lives. How can we say that we are aggrieved?"
Then he looked at Hu Zun: "General Hu had no choice but to surrender Feng Yong that day, but he had no choice but to do so. Now that Da Sima is leading the army, Feng Yong is weak and cannot defend it."
"General, why don't you return to the Wei Dynasty and make up for your mistakes? How about I be willing to be a guarantor in front of the Great Sima?"
Hu Zun had a wry smile on his face, pointed at himself, and then at the cell: "General Xiahou, do you mean to make me like those people?"
“You are a member of a well-established family, so you always want to save face. You surrendered once and were laughed at by others. If you surrender and rebel again, how will the world think of you?”
Xiahou Ba sighed softly, knowing that his mind had been made up, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
"Hearing what General Xiahou said, it seems that he is not optimistic about Feng Junhou's ability to maintain stability?"
Hu Zun asked again.
"No matter how good Feng Yong is in fighting, it would be good if he escaped back to Longyou with his life."
Xiahou Ba shook his head, "I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with the Great Sima in the north alone, not to mention that General Xianyu in the south is also a veteran general."
He looked at Hu Zun: "How many days does General Hu think he can hold off General Xianyu?"
Hu Zun's face was grim: "No matter how many days, I have decided to hold on and have no hope of surviving."
Linjing is a stable county with a high city and deep pool. In addition, Hu Qiyi, who was left behind by Feng Junhou, joins the army, so the troops are sufficient.
According to common sense, staying on guard for a month is not a problem.
The key is that among the soldiers who defended the city, they surrendered and their hearts were unstable.
Hence, Hu Zun had no idea how long he could keep guard.
Speaking of this, Hu Zun waved, and General Hu came in from the outside.
"This is a member of a certain tribe. If the city of Linjing is destroyed and the sword has no eyes, and General Xiahou is wounded and unable to move, he will protect General Xiahou to the Wei army camp."
Xiahou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Hu."
Hu Zun waved his hand and pointed to the cell again: "Some of the people inside are members of a certain tribe. It is impossible to be cruel to a certain person."
"In case the city is really destroyed, I am afraid that the Hu family in this city will not be able to escape. At that time, I will ask General Xiahou to explain on my behalf and let the people in the prison go."
Xiahou Ba took a deep look at Hu Zun and nodded: "I understand."
