Chapter 133 Judgments and Choices of All Parties
According to normal judgment, if you can conquer Anyang in one fell swoop, the Zhao army must have a lot of troops.
"Please ask General Yin Qi to return to the army immediately. We will immediately go west to Anyang. The two sides work together to solve their worries first, and then go to Handan." Zhang Yi made such a decision, and General Gongsun Jia also thought that this was a normal arrangement. "Although we neglected to lose Anyang, we can wipe out one of the enemy here, which is also gains and losses."
Zhang Yi sighed: "I didn't expect that Zhao Yong's son also had such courage. He could even use surprise troops to capture Anyang in the face of internal and external difficulties, making it difficult for us to take care of the beginning and end, delay time and defeat each other. This is a character." Zhang Yi was indeed a wise man at first glance. But he misjudged the person.
Gongsun Jia said: "The more a person is, the sooner it should be removed. A future hero is not in the interests of Qin."
Zhang Yishen agreed. So the army immediately set out, and the 150,000 troops pressed towards Anyang with the momentum of Mount Tai.
In fact, Anyang is not far from Zhang Yi, who is in Chenbing's border. Even if the 150,000 troops travel, it can reach it in five days. Zhao Xing said to Zhao She, who was burned and the Kitchen God was made of burnt materials: "Give you two hours of rest, and then we withdraw from Anyang and go north to kill Yin and fire a back shot."
Zhao She pondered for a moment: "Give my soldiers three hours to rest."
Zhao Xing frowned, but finally agreed: "Okay, three hours are just three hours. The soldiers are exhausted after such a long time, so it doesn't matter if they have a rest."
Zhao She shook her head and said, "The soldiers I selected grew up on horseback, and they were also resting when riding horses. My purpose was to make Yin Qi's army go faster and farther, making him more tired." Then he said solemnly: "The attack on half a cross is not in line with our current situation."
Zhao Xing looked at Zhao She with a serious face, very good, the seedlings of a generation of famous generals emerged.
"Okay, just follow your arrangements, I won't interfere anymore." Then he pulled Xu Jie directly and studied the current situation. He analyzed the current situation, analyzed the possible subsequent situation, and came up with a plan. This is what Zhao Xing and Xu Jie should do. When commanding the army, when the famous generals are in the future, they are purely a dog to take rats.
Yin Qi spent a lot of effort to cross the Zhang River again. When he arrived at the south bank, he was already trapped and it was already difficult for the horses to drag the heavy chariots.
Look at the sky, it's already afternoon.
Young Master Jie, who was tired like a dog, jumped out again and complained: "This back and forth struggle has made me exhausted. We should camp here and move forward tomorrow."
Everyone is tired, especially those soldiers. They not only have to walk on foot, but also carry their own armor and equipment, as well as three days of food. They are so tired that they can't walk anymore.
But looking at the sky, looking at the distance, if you rest now, it would be a waste of half a day. Then, it would be half a night to arrive at Anyang City tomorrow. At that time, you can only set up camp overnight. There will be chaos and give the enemy the opportunity to rob the camp. Such risks must not be taken.
"Please bear it, let's go for a while, and then set up camp when it's dark, and march again at dawn tomorrow, and arrive at Anyang City at noon at noon, so we can have enough time to prepare for the siege on the second day."
When Prince Jie heard Yin Qi’s name to him, he changed from the lord of Hebei to the prince again, and felt the boss’s displeasure.
But I still knew wisely that this was the land of Wei again, and I had to grit my teeth and endure it again. For this reason, I specially showed my vision and sneered and said: "After we were so tired, the soldiers were so tired. If the enemy attacked at this time, we would be defeated with one blow. The general thought twice."
Yin Qi bowed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, but you have been worried too much." As a general who has fought for a long time, of course, this point is clear, but he has to explain it to him. Otherwise, this guy would be whining, self-righteous, and annoyed.
"The best time for the enemy to attack is when we cross the river. Half-crossing will achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is common sense for military knowledge. But when we cross the river, the enemy did not launch it, what does this mean?"
Being educated by others is not a very happy thing. Gongzijie sat in the car and watched it with ignoring it, proving that I was too lazy to pay attention to you.
Yin Qi didn't care about his expression. He just wanted to explain his own opinions so that this ignorant guy could understand that he would not point fingers in front of him in the future.
After taking on this task myself, I was unlucky when I met such a master.
"When I crossed the river, the enemy did not attack halfway, which is enough to prove that the enemy did not have the idea of fighting with me halfway. They were just trapped in Xinyang, wanting to hold my back, calm the war in their country, and buy time for them." Then look at Anyang City under the horizon: "From this point, my opponent is a calm and experienced guy, which may be difficult to deal with. It seems that it will take some time to recapture Anyang City."
What Gongzijie doesn't want to hear the least is this sentence. Procrastinating time means delaying his time to become a king. Now Gongzijie is in a hurry.
"Now our two groups have a total of 200,000 troops, but they were suddenly changed by a small Anyang City. They ran back and forth. Don't you feel that this is a big deal? Why don't you help Zhang Yi divide a team of troops? I think 50,000 is enough to restrain Anyang's enemies and not disturb my retreat. We will do our best to attack Handan. As long as Handan takes it, the overall situation will be decided. What else can we worry about with the remaining lonely army in Anyang? The choice of a general is really unwise. Zhang Yi talks about the truth, but he does not have the ability to judge the situation."
In principle, Gongzijie's strategy is correct. But this is just a very principled one, because Anyang is different from other small cities. It is the middle point from Daliang to Handan, and it is the material transfer station for all 200,000 troops. This time, according to the rules, the soldiers still brought their own food for three months, but this food must be handed over to the state for unified transportation and preservation, and the soldiers must not be carried on the battlefield individually. Each person carried more than 100 kilograms of food to the battlefield, and this battle cannot be fought.
The result is that the transfer station at this critical node is lost. How can the morale of these soldiers who store grain be stable? After all, this is the loss of the soldiers.
The morale of the army is unstable, so there is no way to fight this battle.
Yin Qi's explanation was immediately interrupted by Gongzi Jie: "As long as you enter our Zhao State, the food and grass required by the army will be the responsibility of our Zhao State. Why should the soldiers worry? I promise that what I supply to the army is definitely the best beans and wheat (beans are also staple food), so that the soldiers can eat better than they originally brought."
In terms of verbal skills, Yin Qi is definitely not the opponent of this young master who is used to talking big, he is professional.
When two people debate each other and can't hold on,
A Wei army rode alone and ran over from the west. When they saw Yin Qi, they were very pleased: "I originally thought the general was still on the north bank of the river, but I didn't expect that I had crossed the river and made me run less." Then I took out Zhang Yi's warrant in my arms: "Please help me, please execute it."
Because of its huge advantages, paper has long been popular in the Central Plains. Although this small piece of paper is very expensive, everyone is still happy to use it.
When Zhang Yi opened the sealed bag, the order was: "The army immediately returned to the army, and went day and night, and joined forces at the city of Anyang two days later (that is, tomorrow).
