Chapter 1645 Kong Ming’s Strategy (Part 2)
Chapter 1643: Kong Ming’s strategy (Part 2)
After hearing Zhuge Liang''s words, Qin Hao nodded in agreement.
The princes of Liangzhou invaded a lot of troops, but after all, they belonged to three parties, and they all had hatred. Under mutual vigilance, it was impossible to truly unite.
Therefore, the threat to the Qin army by the three coalition forces of Liangzhou is better than to send only a 50,000-strong Chu army.
Of course, the Liangzhou coalition also has many difficult opponents, such as: Ma Yuan, Ma Chao, Gao Changgong, Shi Wansui, Wu Yunzhao, etc., and there are also powerful generals Gao Anggao Aocao at the level of the God of War.
If it is just a military confrontation, Meng Tian, ??who commands 100, and Meng Tian, ??who holds 70,000 elite troops, faces the 100,000 coalition forces in Liangzhou, not to mention just blocking the Liangzhou coalition forces, it is not bad even if it is defeated.
But if we take into account the blessing of the general, the Qin army in the river, which does not even have a war god, obviously cannot compete with the Liangzhou coalition forces, where the fierce generals gather.
Therefore, what Hetao lacks most now is not soldiers, but generals. As long as the generals are compensated for their weaknesses, Meng Tian may not be able to defeat the 100,000 Liangzhou coalition forces head-on.
“What the military advisor said is reasonable.”
Qin Hao pondered for a while and ordered, "Since that''s the case, please call Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and Xu Chu to support Meng Tian."
Zhao Yun is now a war god-level general, and Dian Wei, who was injured by Luo Shixin, has long been cured. He can also stimulate combination skills with Xu Chu. In addition, the peak **** Huang Zhong is enough to block the Liangzhou coalition forces.
After estimating the strength comparison between the generals of both sides in his heart, Zhuge Liang smiled confidently: "The crisis in Liangzhou has been resolved, so the lord will wait for the good news from General Meng Tian."
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was so confident, Qin Hao was infected by him and said with a smile: "The military advisor only talked about the other four routes in Liangzhou. How should he retreat to the enemy?"
"Our army has laid 150,000 defenders in the two states, including 80,000 in Jingzhou and 70,000 in Sizhou."
As he said that, Zhuge Liang pointed to Jiangxia in the south on the map and said slowly: "Liu Xiu sent 50,000 troops along the way, but he did not directly attack our Nanjun, but instead attacked Huang Zu of Jiangxia.
Jiangxia County is not strong in combat, and it is difficult to reach Liu Xiu''s army with the power of Huang Zu''s family alone.
Once Liu Xiu takes Jiang Xia, Liu Xiu and Liu Ji join forces at that time, they will form a force of east-west attack on Jingbei.
The four battles in Jingzhou are easy to attack but difficult to defend. If they are attacked by the east and west, they will definitely be difficult to resist, so our army must support Huang and resist Liu. ”
"But the military advisor, including the Chu army, had as many as 280,000 enemy troops attacking Jingbei, while our army had only 80,000 defenders in Jingbei.
Our army is far inferior to the invading enemy, and it is not enough to use all to defend the city. How can we have extra troops to support Huang Zu? Qin Hao asked in confusion.
Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and said, "Our army is indeed unable to support Huang Zu, but it can attract external forces to help Huang Zu."
"Add external force?"
After Qin Hao pondered for a while, he immediately understood what Zhuge Liang meant and asked, "What the military advisor said was to let Jiangdong Sun Jian go and help Huang Zu fight against Liu Xiu together?
But Sun Jiancai and Liu Xiu fought in Jiaozhou, and they did not take any advantage. Now that the army is exhausted, will Sun Jian be willing to send troops? ”
"Sun Jian has to send troops, lord, please see."
Zhuge Liang pointed at Jiangxia''s position and said, "Once Liu Xiu took Jiangxia, it will not only form a force of attacking our army in the east and west, but also a force of attacking Eastern Wu. Chu will be able to send troops to attack Wu from Jiangxia, Changsha and Jiaozhou. Even if the Wu State has a peerless commander like Sun Wu, facing such an offensive, he will still be exhausted. Therefore, Sun Jian saves Huang Zu, which is to save Wu."
When Qin Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He naturally understood that the interests disputes were just too much to consider in his position, so he didn''t think about this for a while, but as soon as he mentioned it, he would immediately react.
"It''s so conspiracy. I immediately asked Your Majesty to issue an edict to order Sun Jian to lead the army to support Huang Zu."
"With Sun Jian sending troops to intervene, it will not be so easy for Liu Xiu to defeat Jiangxia, but Liang speculated that Sun Jian might also want to get Jiangxia.
In the battle between Wu and Chu, Jiangxia''s position is crucial, and whoever can gain the advantage will be greater. Therefore, Sun Jian must be eager to get Jiangxia, and there are two possibilities.
1. Sun Jian joined forces with Huang Zu to fight against Liu Xiu. After repelling Liu Xiu, Sun Jian eliminated Huang Zu and monopolized Jiangxia.
2. Sun Jian, in the name of rescuing Huang Zu, divided Jiangxia with Liu Xiu. After destroying Huang Zu, he defeated Liu Xiu alone. ”
As he said that, a hint of cunning flashed in Zhuge Liang''s eyes and he smiled, "Liang believes that the former is more likely, but whether it is the former or the latter, as long as Wu and Chu meet, Liu Xiu will not be able to threaten our army completely, so the crisis in Chu will resolve itself."
"My, wonderful..." Qin Hao slapped his legs and laughed.
Using the power of other countries to prevent disasters for themselves, Wu Chu knew that it would be better than the Qin army, but he had to jump in on his own initiative. This is a naked plot.
Huang Zu, who was sandwiched between the Three Kingdoms, was destined to become a victim of this battle.
Although Huang Zu has always been quite respectful, in a great battle, the heroes compete for the weak and the original sin is the original sin.
In just a few words, Zhuge Liang had retreated from two of the five armies, which made Qin Hao look forward to his next words, but Zhuge Liang did not speak directly this time.
After brewing for a while, Zhuge Liang said, "Lord, there is General Li Cunxiao in this Tang army in Tongguan, and there is also the natural barrier of Hangu Pass. Only 30,000 defenders are needed. Even if the Tang army has 100,000 troops attacked, it is still not easy to invade Sizhou."
As he said that, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and continued, "Forcibly attacking such a heroic pass as Hangu Pass, even if he can break the pass, Li Tang will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
With Li Shimin''s shrewdness, it was impossible to do this, but he still let Yang Jian lead his army to invade 70,000. It can be seen that the Tang army in Tongguan was just a feint attack. ”
"Few attack? So, is the real direction of the Tang army''s main attack? "
“That’s right.”
Zhuge Liang nodded and said solemnly: "Li Shimin sent 70,000 troops out of Tongguan, just to drag the troops of Sizhou on the front line of Hangu Pass and prevent Sizhou from supporting Jingzhou.
The Nanyang Plain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there is almost no place to defend except for several strong cities.
Therefore, if Sizhou cannot send reinforcements to Nanyang, it is impossible for the local defenders in Nanyang to resist the attack of the Tang army alone.
After Li Shimin took all Nanyang, most of the troops in Sizhou were still dragged at Hangu Pass. At that time, the Tang army went north and easily captured Guangcheng Pass, and then rushed into Heluo and eroded Sizhou. ”
