Chapter 63 Offense and Defense(2/2)
How many troops did the Song Guan family bring in this time... They themselves said it was fifty thousand. They said they were Yue Fei's imperial camp front army, Wang De's imperial camp middle army, and Qu Duan's imperial camp cavalry. The total of these three families was natural.
We can draw 50,000, but it is not accurate. We can only say that according to what the Xixia people think, these three people and their main subordinates all showed up in Pingxia City. The Xixia people who were beaten asked us for help, and the official family of Zhao Song was in Fangzhou.
It is said that there should be some backup for direct command there...it can be seen that even if it is a bit of a bluff, it shouldn't be too different."
Wu Shu kept nodding, and finally gave a number directly: "Including Li Yanxian, 150,000?"
Balisu thought for a moment, and Salihe next to him also thought for a moment, but neither of them said a word.
"The people of the Song Dynasty came well prepared." Wu Shu did not dwell on this question that was destined to have no specific answer, but everyone had some clues in their minds. Instead, he continued to follow this inference and put forward a conclusion and a new question. "If you can't cross the river, in the end
At least we can't cross the river from Yan'an to rescue... Instead, we have to make preparations in advance. If necessary, we can go from Suide Army to Linzhou from the north... Is it safe to ask for a break from Linzhou?"
"I don't know." Ba Lisu shook his head repeatedly. "The entire northern Shaanxi, Yan'an Prefecture, Suide Army, Jinning Army, Linzhou, Fengzhou, and Fuzhou on the other side of the river were all captured by Lou Shi with his living girls.
Then Xijing was left behind to deal with it, but the Khitans in Xijing happened to be in rebellion before Yaoshan, so the new Xijing stay behind was simply the newly appointed sixth prince..."
"Let's not talk about this." Wu Shu was helpless, but he frowned more and more. "I still feel a little wrong. We have so many things, how can the Song people be okay? They really mobilized an army of 150,000 to delay in northern Shaanxi.
Setting up bait, food and fodder reserves for the decisive battle? It's one thing to spend the army at the station, it's another to spend it when it's moving, and it's another thing once it's fought... Why is he like this when we are not prepared?
Calm?"
Ba Lisu thought thoughtfully: "Did King Wei say that the Han people were just trying to make a false move? His original intention was to intimidate us and seize the five counties in northern Shaanxi for nothing? Maybe their logistics cannot support a large-scale war for two or three months? The military resources are weak.
Are you unable to launch a large-scale battle involving 100,000 people in Yan'an?"
Wu Shu was silent for a moment and shook his head with difficulty: "You can't gamble!"
Ba Lisu sneered and finally stopped trying to hide it: "King Wei, you are the one who says both good and bad things. What should I do? You must also say the same thing!"
Wu Shu responded slowly: "It's been a long time. It's no longer like the situation in Nanyang. General Han has died on the other side. I just want to try not to make any mistakes... Ba Lisu, you have been in the West Route Army for a long time. What do you think?
, If I want to save Xixia and keep my daughter alive, but I don’t want to risk crossing the river, and I also want to delay the Song people, what should I do? Is there a proper response?"
"Simple." When Ba Lisu heard the other party talking about the story of Nanyang, he regained his composure and responded honestly. "This is exactly what I wanted to do when I met the King of Wei in the future... I would like to ask the King of Wei to give an order to unite the army to Hezhong Mansion.
In Pujin, Longmenjin built pontoon bridges to suppress Tongzhou; across the mountains in the middle, attacked Pinglu to suppress Shaanzhou, forcing the Song army to mobilize troops from northern Shaanxi to confront me there! And if this is the case, I dare not say that everything will happen.
It can be easily solved, but it is enough to relieve the overall situation!"
Wu Shu suddenly realized that this so-called strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, or pretending to besiege Wei and suppressing Wei and rescuing Zhao, could only be said that for thousands of years, Pujin and Tongguan had always been the key to Guanzhong, and it really made sense.
