Chapter 1222 Doomed to be defeated before the war begins
Chapter 1220: Destined to be defeated before the war started
"I ordered Qin Qiong to be the main general, Yuchi Gong and Xiong Kuohai to be the deputy generals, and led a 10,000 army to Yique Pass."
There are still 20,000 troops in Luoyang City, but transferring 10,000 is already the limit. After all, 10,000 troops are not enough to defend Luoyang, but it can ensure that there will be no chaos in Luoyang. As the imperial capital, Luoyang, if there is not even 10,000 troops, there may be some chaos.
After transferring 10,000 troops from Luoyang, the troops in Sizhou were no longer adjustable, but the problem of Guangcheng Pass has not been solved yet, but Jia Xu has obviously been at ease.
"The prefect of Nanxiang, Zhang Liao, led 10,000 troops to Guangcheng Pass, and ordered Nanyang, Qin Zheng, to send General Gao Shun to lead 10,000 troops to Guangcheng. Zhang Liao was the main general and Gao Shun was the deputy general."
In the Battle of Jingbei, Gao Shun was seriously injured by Liu Xiu. Now more than a year has passed, and his injuries have naturally healed, so he can return to the battlefield.
After Jingbei was divided by Qin Hao, there were six counties in total, while the Qin army only occupied half of four counties, namely: Nanyang, Nanxiang, Zhangling, Xiangyang, and a small half of Nanjun.
As for the other two counties, most of the Nanjun belongs to Liu Xiu and Jiangxia County belongs to Huangzu.
The Qin army had 120,000 troops in the five counties in Jingbei, of which there were 60,000 troops on the front line of Xiangyang, and 20,000 each of the other three counties. Of course, there would be changes at any time if there was a war, just like Jia Xu now transferred Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to Guangcheng Pass.
The combination between Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, coupled with the 20,000 troops'' defense, Guangcheng Pass''s defense is impeccable.
Yuan Shu probably never thought that he had just prepared to send troops and wanted to attack the Qin army off guard, but Jia Xu was ready for everything.
Xu Huang, Qin Yi, and Qin Huaiyu led 10,000 troops to guard Hulao Pass;
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Xiong Kuohai and Guan Sheng led 20,000 troops to guard Yique Pass;
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led 20,000 troops to guard Guangcheng Pass.
Tan Daoji and Qin Procuratorate led 10,000 troops to guard Luoyang;
Jia Xu''s military deployment can be said to be the most useful position to use all the limited troops, making Sizhou''s defense almost perfect.
The Qin army now has the right time, place and people. Even if Yuan Shu''s 250,000 troops were all dispatched, it may not be useful. Therefore, this time Zhao Kuangyin''s surprise attack on Guangcheng Pass is probably destined to return in vain.
Yuan Shu was doomed to be defeated before the war began.
“Mr. Jia, when the lord went north, he ordered Yue Fei to send troops to stop Liu Xiu from unifying Jingnan.
After Yue Fei was ordered, he decisively led his troops to attack Nanjun and achieved great results. Now he has arrived at Jiangling City, forcing Liu Xiu from Jingnan to give up the formation Jingnan and personally lead the troops back to rescue Jiangling. . ”
At this point, a hint of regret flashed in Xun Yu''s eyes, and then continued: "Now our army and Yuan Shu are about to start a war, in order to avoid falling into a situation of fighting on both sides. Should we order Yue Fei to retreat to ensure that our army has sufficient troops to deal with the next Yuan Shu army?"
Although Liu Xiu has led the army to return, he has not brought back much troops. What he really has was only morale encouragement. Therefore, if Yue Fei continues to conquer, it is very likely that Yue Fei will defeat Liu Xiu.
By then, the Qin army will occupy the entire Jingbei area except Jiangxia County, and its territory will also be advanced to the north bank of the Yangtze River to support the Yangtze River defense line.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shu''s 250,000 troops are about to attack, and Jia Xu will never let the Qin army take risks to fight on two fronts. Therefore, no matter how rich the results of Nanjun are, Yue Fei must return to the army immediately in order to take into account the overall situation. "Wen Ruo is right. It''s too risky to start a war on both sides, so let Yue Fei retreat first. After he defeated Yuan Shu, it''s not too late to continue to conquer Nanjun." Jia Xu said seriously.
Yue Fei, who was leading the army in Jiangling, was so angry that he wanted to curse after receiving Jia Xu''s orders. Of course, he was not going to scold Jia Xu, but Yuan Shu.
Since Yue Fei became the prefect of Xiangyang, he always thought that it was perfect to open the border for the emperor, but the center of the Qin army was in the north and the south had little room for him to perform, and in addition to defense, it was also defense.
Now he finally got the order that the lord could attack, and Yue Fei also gave the strategy of Nanjun almost the same, just to capture Jiangling as a solid Jiangling, and Nanjun was completely owned by the Qin army.
As long as Yue Fei is given the last ten days, he will be sure to capture Jiangling, but at this time Yuan Shu will send troops to attack the Qin army''s rear, which will completely waste all the hard work for Yue Fei.
Just a little bit short of success, a little bit!
Although Yue Fei was extremely unwilling to give up, he also understood the priorities of the matter. After all, as a hub connecting the two states of Jing, Sizhou is more important than the five Nanjuns, so even if Yue Fei was reluctant to leave, he had to give up Nanjun and return to the army.
Seeing that Yue Fei took the initiative to withdraw his troops, Liu Xiu thought it was a plan to lure the snake out of the cave. After all, Yue Fei had also played this way before, and when Liu Xiu reacted, Yue Fei''s army had retreated to Xiangyang City.
"Mr. Jia, this time Yuan Shu suddenly dispatched troops to attack. There must be some reason for this."
At this point, Xun Yu clasped his fists and said seriously: "While thinking that an envoy should be sent to condemn and question Yuan Shu, while inquiring about the reasons for Yuan Shu''s transformation, if he could prescribe the right medicine, he might be able to eliminate the battle invisibly."
For today''s Qin army, this battle is naturally the best not to fight. After all, with the main force going north to Hetao, the Qin army in Sizhou and Jingzhou are indeed weaker than Yuan Shujun, but they always have to take risks when fighting. Why should they take risks if they can not take risks?
After hearing Xun Yu''s words, Jia Xu decided to send an envoy to lobby Yuan Shu. It would be better if he could succeed. If he failed, he would start a war with Yuan Shu.
As for the candidate for the envoy, Jia Xu finally chose to send Di Renjie.
Through this period of time, Jia Xu found that Di Renjie was not only very eloquent, but also thoughtful and had a meticulous observation ability. He would definitely find something unusual if he went on a mission.
After Di Renjie received the order, he immediately rushed to Yuzhou without stopping. After he arrived, Zhao Kuangyin''s army had already set off, so Di Renjie didn''t even have a rest, so he immediately stated his identity and asked to meet Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu didn''t even dare to see the Qin army''s envoys. When Di Renjie saw Yuan Shu, he immediately persuaded Yuan Shu from all aspects, such as: the strength comparison between the two sides, the probability of winning the battle between the Qin and Jin armies in the Hetao Battle is even greater.
Di Renjie''s negotiation skills were still extremely clever, but Yuan Shu was very determined to seize Sizhou. Di Renjie struggled to persuade Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops, but he made a shocking discovery just when he was about to leave Yuzhou.
Ten days later, Di Renjie returned to Luoyang and reported to Jia Xu: "Your Majesty, you are incompetent and did not convince Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops, but..."
