Chapter 1236 General Guan’s hesitation(2/2)
As expected, he is handsome, tall, and impressive.
"General Wang, please get up quickly. Guan cannot afford such a great gift from General Wang at this time."
General Zhendong stepped forward quickly, helped Wang Ping up personally, and then looked at the generals behind Wang Ping who were stained with blood and even their faces were gray and black.
Although we can't see what their true faces look like, we can see the light in their eyes and the high spirits they still maintain after the tragic battle.
You can see their excitement at this time.
"You have made great achievements, so I should be the one to salute you."
Hey!
General Guan saluted me, I will have some bragging rights in the future!
"General Guan, since we have joined the army, we should fight to the death to kill the thieves and report to the court and the people. Otherwise, wouldn't we be ashamed of the cultivation of the monarch?"
"That's right!"
…
Along with all the chatter, there were also messy replies.
Although Yanmen County is a border county, Pingcheng is directly facing the desert.
But how could General Guan not know that his Alang valued this place far more than other places?
Therefore, the captain who protected the Xianbei captain's mansion was Wang Ping, the first person he promoted after he came out of the mountain. At the same time, the relationship between the Wang family and his son and Alang can be described as sharing weal and woe.
The chief historian of the Xiaowei Mansion is Zhang Yuan, the elder brother of Jiangwu Hall, who has been with Alang for several years.
As for the key officers and generals in the Xiaoweifu army, they are either descendants of Nanxiang or students of Jiangwu Hall.
Some of the Hu cavalry troops were transferred from the original Liangzhou army.
It can be said that from Nanzhong to Liangzhou, to the Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion, and then to Yanmen County, the soldiers who guarded the border for the Han Dynasty and the people who built the border area were inextricably linked to the Xinghan Hui and Alang.
.
This can probably be regarded as a way to immigrate to the border and colonize the border.
Of course, this may also be a way out that Alang is looking for for these ordinary people.
After all, in the frontier, frequent dealings with barbarians - whether peacefully or violently - not only provide you with training, but also make it easier to accumulate merit.
If the incident hadn't happened suddenly, the Central Protectorate had no plans to launch a major war with other countries in the past few years.
General Guan smiled and nodded at these enthusiastic young generals, and then said to Wang Ping:
"I have asked the rear to send supplies as quickly as possible to make up for the general's soldiers."
"Also, where are the injured soldiers in the army now? I also specially ordered a batch of medicinal materials to be sent up..."
It was a good thing that General Guan didn't mention this. When he mentioned this, Wang Ping's face darkened, and even the originally excited generals fell silent.
Seeing their expressions, General Guan already guessed what was going on, and she sighed softly...
How could she, who has experienced battles for a long time, not understand that the soldiers who died before the battle and the soldiers who died after being injured were basically half and half.
That is to say, the Han Dynasty has been able to save the lives of a large number of injured soldiers over the years because of the medical school.
At the same time, these soldiers who have recovered from injuries will grow into experienced veterans.
Over the years, the generals of the Han Army have become more and more powerful in combat. This is one of the important reasons.
After all, someone else's elite soldier may really be the one selected from a hundred people to survive in the end.
But big men are different.
You are equipped with such good weapons, such high armor coverage, and so many medical students. How can it be so easy to die?
It's just that this situation is based on strong logistical support.
As for the battle at Otaniguchi, the number of Han soldiers who died of injuries has reached an alarming level.
After arranging the rest and medical treatment for the soldiers who were protecting Xianbei Xiaowei Mansion, General Guan immediately asked about the war situation in Bingzhou.
"Back to Zhendong General, we are trapped here. We only know that Sima Yi is leading the army to the north, presumably to attack Jinyang."
Wang Ping actually knew almost nothing about the situation in Jinyang.
The only thing he knew better than General Guan was that Sima Yi indeed led the army there.
"Furthermore, the Wei thieves who besieged us have suddenly retreated since yesterday, but I can be sure that Sima Yi's army will not return."
After hearing Wang Ping's words, General Guan raised his eyebrows:
"Sima Yi's army has not returned?"
Wang Ping nodded: "Definitely not."
My camp is right at the exit of Otani Pass.
Even if Sima Yi's tens of thousands of troops marched at night, they would still have to have torches, and they would not be able to quietly return to the mouth of the valley under their noses.
"General Zhendong, doesn't that mean that the army of thieves has been cut off by us?"
When Ma Dai heard this, he immediately said, "General, if you don't let the last general lead the army as the vanguard, go to Jinyang immediately!"
General Guan was not so excited. She shook her head gently:
"It's not that simple. I have fought against Sima Yi. This person is not a simple person and should not be underestimated."
During the Battle of Guanzhong, if Alang hadn't been determined to cleanse the Hedong family, and would have stayed by the river to fish, and was unwilling to cross the river, he would have fallen into Sima Yi's plan.
General Guan even fought with Sima Yi personally after crossing the river, and knew that this man was very deep and ruthless.
If your opponent is not careful, he will suffer big losses.
Wei Yan's failure to join the party was a lesson learned in blood and tears.
"But General Zhendong, Jinyang has few soldiers. If we don't rescue him in time, I'm afraid..."
Opposite him, a veteran like Ma Dai, General Guan had to patiently explain:
"General Ma, please be patient. I'm not saying not to go to Jinyang. I'm just saying that the matter of Sima Yi's retreat may not be as simple as we imagined."
She looked at Ma Dai:
"So General Ma, when you go with your troops, you must be careful, don't rush in, and remember to report news from the front at any time."
Ma Dai was overjoyed and took the order.
After everyone dispersed, Wang Ping deliberately stayed at the end and asked quietly:
"General, are you worried that General Ma fell into Sima Yi's trick?"
General Guan smiled lightly and shook his head slightly:
"When I arrived in Qixian County, I had already sent people to Jinyang to investigate in advance. I should be able to meet General Ma on the way."
"I led the army to occupy the mouth of Dagong, which means that I have blocked the main route of the Wei thieves' advance and retreat. What will happen if Sima Yi has another trick?"
Wang Ping asked again: "Is the general worried about Jinyang's loss?"
General Guan suppressed his smile, pondered for a while, and then said:
"Sima Yi's retreat is cut off. Even if he captures Jinyang, so what? If at the cost of one Jinyang, he can annihilate Sima Yi and his army, it will be worthwhile."
Wang Ping was a little confused:
"Then what are you still worried about, general?"
General Guan breathed out:
"Because I can't understand Sima Yi's actions. If it were me, I would directly take advantage of the situation to capture Gaoping Pass and block all the Shangdang passes to defend myself."
General Guan's eyes were a little confused and his tone was hesitant:
"Unless he thinks that Taiyuan will be like Shangdang, who will immediately surrender the city as soon as the army arrives, otherwise, he is taking a risk..."
With that said, she put herself in Sima Yi's position and shook her head:
"It's too risky and not worth it! How could Sima Yi not see it? But why would he do this?"
