Chapter 453
Chapter 453
In the council hall of the Taishou Mansion in Xiping City, Li Yan, commander of the Western Road Army of the Western Liang Legion, and Zhuge Liang, the military master, sat in the right position, and next to Zhuge Liang was Jiang Wei, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He stood there, although he was not very tall, and his face was still a little immature, but his eyes were full of confidence.
Ever since he learned that Western Qiang, Xianbei, and some small states in the Western Regions had gathered troops and horses outside Yumen Pass and prepared to plunder Liangzhou, Li Yan moved his army from Jincheng to Xiping County.
This time, the combined army composed of Xianbei and Western Qiang was full of 100,000 iron horses, and the people of Liangzhou were a little flustered, and Han Sui of Liangzhou was also a little flustered, but Li Yan was not afraid at all. He did not accept Han Sui's advice and stationed in Jincheng, Wuwei and other places, but suddenly moved forward to Xiping County.
Most of the people of Liangzhou are in the area of Wuwei and Jincheng, and if the war is led here, then the people will inevitably be harmed. The lord Liu Jun loved the people like a son, and everyone knew that Li Yan naturally did not want to let the iron horses of foreign tribes enter the hinterland of Liangzhou.
Soon after, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun led 5,000 cavalry to Xiping County, which made Li Yan more confident.
The good news continued, Ma Chao finally surrendered the Han army, which made the people of Liangzhou also stabilize. Ma Chao was very famous in Liangzhou, and among foreign tribes such as Western Qiang and Xianbei, he was even more famous, and with him joining the Han army, the odds of victory increased a lot.
Zhuge Liang looked at the people below and sighed with emotion.
Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Zhu Ling, Pang De, Ma Dai, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, etc., some are the top martial generals of the Great Han Dynasty, ten thousand enemies, and some are wise and brave. With these generals, and the strongest soldiers and horses of the Great Han, why fear the invasion of foreign tribes!
Although the foreign coalition army of 100,000 iron horses is fierce, but Zhuge Liang is not afraid at all, since it is a coalition army, it is not a single heart, there will always be differences, it is okay to fight a tailwind battle, once there is a setback, there will be internal strife, and then there will be an opportunity.
He looked at Xiao Jiang Wei beside him again, and he admired the five bodies of the lord Liu Jun even more, no wonder there were so many talents under his command, it was indeed a torch! When the lord said that Jiang Wei must be handsome in the future, Zhuge Liang was still half-convinced, but through this period of contact, he really found that Jiang Wei was quick-witted, had an innate keen sense of especially arranging troops, and was still very young at this time. In time, after the tempering of the battlefield, his talent will never be lower than that of Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, my big han is really a successor!
"Generals, the scout has sent news that 100,000 iron horsemen of foreign tribes have been hovering outside the Yumen Pass for several days, and now the troops are coming to my Xiping City in three ways." Li Yan picked up a piece of information, "The middle road is the Xianbei leader Budugen, leading an army of 40,000. Xilu was the king of Western Qiang, Midang, who led an army of 30,000. On the east road were King Shanshan, King Kunshan, King of Wusun, Bailie the King of Guizi, and Chi Liang, the King of Khotan, who also had an army of 30,000. How do you think we should resist the enemy?
"General, the end is that we should hold on to the city!" General Zhu Ling said, "The foreign tribe is cavalry, and the strength is above me and the others, and it is really unwise to go out of the city and fight in the field!" "
General Zhu Ling's words are reasonable, and in the end, we should stick to the three cities of Xiping, Guzang, and Zhangye, and fight each other, and foreign soldiers and horses are not good at attacking the city, and we cooperate with each other, they will have nothing to do." Yang Huai also said.
After hearing this, Li Yan nodded. In fact, he also means this, now that foreign races are in full swing, it is not the best strategy to take the initiative to attack.
"In the opinion of the military master?" Li Yan asked Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan a few times and nodded, "What the two generals said is very much, we should use static brakes."
"Okay, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, let you two lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to station in Guzang!"
"No!"
"Zhu Ling, Ma Dai, let your people lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to station in Zhangye!"
"No!"
"The other generals go back to the barracks and listen to orders at any time!"
"No!"
After the generals retreated, only Li Yan, Zhuge Liang, and Jiang Wei were left in the Taishou Mansion, and they came to the map at the same time.
"This Budugen calls himself the King of Xianbei, and he does have some wisdom, and the army is divided into three ways, wanting to take advantage of the situation to take Zhangye and Guzang and make Xiping an isolated city!" Li Yan frowned.
Of course, he was not worried that Gu Zang and Zhang Ye would not be able to hold on, but he was thinking about how to defeat Budugen.
"General, although there are 100,000 foreign alliance troops, they are not one heart, as long as we seize the opportunity, we will definitely be able to defeat them." Xiao Jiang Wei did not have the slightest sadness on his face.
"Does Bojo have a brilliant plan?" Li Yan looked at Jiang Wei and asked.
For this little doll military master sacrifice sent to him by the lord, Li Yan did not take it seriously at first, thinking that it should be the lord who wanted Jiang Wei to experience in the army. But later it turned out that this little guy had a lot of ideas and could even be a strategist.
"Generals, military divisions, and last generals have found that their Eastern Road Army seems to be running a little fast!"
"Eastern Road Army?" Li Yan picked up a few more pieces of intelligence on the desk and looked at it carefully, indeed, the speed of the Eastern Route Army was faster than that of the Western Route Army and the Central Route Army.
"Boyo's vision is really unique!" Zhuge Liang smiled, "Zhengfang, this Eastern Road Army is a coalition army of four small countries, and they run so fast, one is to gain the first merit, and the second is to win more benefits. And judging by the situation of their march, the entire team is a long snake, stretching for more than thirty miles, and it is obvious that there is no unity inside. "
Kong Ming is trying to ambush you?"
"Nope!" Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Although they are not monolithic, they also have an army of 30,000, if we want to ambush, we must send all the soldiers and horses, we can't take this risk!" Since they are not compatible internally, as long as the siege fails, they will have an impatient mentality, and we will have an opportunity at that time.
Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Li Yan also nodded, "Kong Ming's words are reasonable, now the enemy is strong and I am weak, we should focus on guarding!"
"General, military master, Liu Bao, the left sage king of the Xiongnu, also had 100,000 iron horses, but he was defeated by the lord several times on his own initiative and killed. As long as the timing is right, we can do it too! Jiang Wei seemed to be a general who had been in the battlefield for a long time, and in front of Li Yan and Zhuge Liang, he actually talked eloquently.
"Boyo, this war and controversy, but two different things, must master the timing, the right place, and the people, otherwise it will be like Zhao Kuo's paper!" Zhuge Liang felt that Jiang Wei was a little impatient, and this battle with foreign races should be fought steadily.
"Military master, a few days ago we received a war report that General Zhang Xiu's 5,000 soldiers and horses actually robbed Liu Bao's 100,000-strong army barracks, and retreated with his whole body. General Hao Zhao and my eldest brother ambushed the Xiongnu iron horse with infantry, and both won a great victory. These battles may seem incredible, but if you think about it, it is indeed inevitable, because they have mastered the sixteen words of the Lord and applied them flexibly! "
