- Guzang City, the main hall of the Royal Palace.
Cao Pi was dressed in a dragon robe, sitting high on the dragon throne, looking majestic and solemn.
Liangzhou is a remote place, and its prosperity is nowhere near that of the Central Plains. Even Jicheng cannot compare with it. This primitive palace looks relatively shabby.
Cao Pi did not feel shabby at all. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable sitting there.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the south. Yan Liang has personally led more than 100,000 troops into Liangzhou. The three counties of Yuzhong, Jincheng, and Zhiyang have been lost. The Chu army has crossed the Yellow River and is heading towards Wuwei County."
Cao Pi's expression changed slightly. At this moment, he came back to his senses from the emperor's glory and faced the cruel facts again.
The fact is that he, the new emperor of the Qin Dynasty, only has 30,000 Liangzhou cavalry at his disposal, while his enemy Yan Liang is rushing towards him with an army of 100,000 men.
What¡¯s even worse is that Yan Liang has so many good generals under his command, but he, the Emperor of Qin, has very few available talents.
Like Wu Zhi, Zhu Shuo and others, they are good at political planning and planning, but when it comes to killing enemies in battle, they are not even fourth-rate military generals.
As for Wei Kang and other Liangzhou natives, although there are many brave men, there are also only a few who can actually lead troops in war.
Cao Pi suddenly realized that he, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, had the embarrassment that a clever woman could not make a meal without straw.
"The bandit army is coming fiercely, what can you do to deal with the enemy?" Cao Pi glanced at the ministers.
All the ministers immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Cao Pi, and all of them were helpless.
Cao Pi couldn't help but feel disappointed in his eyes.
There was silence. But one person came out of the group and said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may defeat the bandit army."
Cao Pi raised his eyes and glanced. But he saw that the person who made the comment was Yang Fu.
"If Yang Aiqing has any good ideas, please tell me quickly." Cao Pi suddenly cheered up.
Yang Fu then said: "There is no river on the 500-mile road from Jincheng to Guzang. The Chu army can only transport grain and grass by manpower, and the Chu army has more than 100,000 troops. The difficulty of supplying grain and grass must be very huge. "The more the Chu army looks north, the longer its food road will be. I thought, why don't our army start from this aspect."
"What does Yang Aiqing mean?" Cao Pi's spirit became more and more exciting.
"What I mean is that our army can retreat to the line of green pine trees to wait for work. We will stay there without fighting. At the same time, we will send light cavalry out in all directions. We will use our cavalry advantage to continuously attack the Chu army's food road. I think it will not take more than a month. The Chu army will surely retreat without a fight due to lack of food and grass.¡±
Yang Fu's words awakened Cao Pi and made him suddenly enlightened.
"What Yang Aiqing said is very true, very good. Just follow your plan." Cao Pi didn't hesitate much and immediately approved Yang Fu's plan.
After being excited for a moment. Cao Pi said worriedly: "Although Yang Aiqing's plan is brilliant, I still lack good generals under my command, which gives me a headache."
At this time, Yang Fu smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I recommend a good general to your Majesty. He is nine feet long, can use a sixty-eight-pound sword, can open a two-stone iron bow, and has three hidden meteor hammers. He can hit the target with a hundred shots." He has the courage that no man can deserve.¡±
Cao Pi looked greatly refreshed and asked Yang Fu urgently who he recommended.
Yang Fu didn't say anything, but Wei Kang was the first to say: "The person recommended by Mr. Yang, could it be Wang Shuangbu of Longxi?"
"That's exactly the man." Yang Fu nodded and said with a smile: "This king's official position is a partial general, guarding Xiping County to prevent the Qiang people. When I inspected Xiping, I saw this man's martial arts with my own eyes, and even saw him pacify the Qiang people. With regard to the rebel's military capabilities, I believe that Wang Shuang is a worthy general."
When Cao Pi heard that there was such a powerful figure in his kingdom, he was naturally very excited and immediately issued an order to summon Wang Shuang to meet his uncle.
So, Cao Pi used Yang Fu's plan to abandon a large area of ??towns in the south, huddled all the tens of thousands of Liangzhou cavalry near Guzang, and used the dangerous terrain to build a defense line.
At the same time, Cao Pi sent Wang Shuang, Wu Zhi and others as generals to attack with light cavalry and went to harass the Chu army's food road.
Yang Fu¡¯s strategy indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Chu army.
After Yan Liang¡¯s army crossed the Yellow River, they lost the ability to transport on water. Millions of grains of dendrobium could only be transported by land.
The terrain of Liangzhou is gradually rising from east to west, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of transportation.
The grain and grass for more than 100,000 people were transported by human and animal power alone. Yan Liang recruited as many as 80,000 or 90,000 civilians, mules and horses for this purpose.
The burden of grain and grass transportationThe situation is getting worse day by day, and as the Chu army advances northward, the enemy cavalry attacks on the grain road become more and more serious.
The terrain in Liangzhou is suitable for cavalry. On the road four to five hundred miles south from Jincheng, Cao Pi's Liangzhou Qingqi can attack the grain team on the road from anywhere and at any time.
In order to protect these grain teams, the Chu army had to deploy a large number of troops to escort the grain teams along the way. As a result, not only did the strength of the frontline troops weaken, but the logistical burden also increased.
¡° Moreover, this approach has little effect.
Because the Qin army's light cavalry was divided into teams of a thousand people, and there were more than ten light cavalry troops attacking the camp. To resist the attack of a thousand cavalry in the wilderness, the number of infantry must reach at least four thousand. .
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Since the infantry could not protect the food supply, Yan Liang could only use the cavalry.
This time to conquer Qin, Yan Liang mobilized a total of more than 20,000 cavalry, which was only 10,000 less than Cao Pi's 30,000 cavalry. If they cooperated with the infantry, it would have been easy to defeat the Qin army.
But if the cavalry is mobilized to transport food, the infantry on the front line will lack sufficient cavalry protection and will also be threatened by Cao Pi's main force.
Under various disadvantages, after more than half a month, Yan Liang's army only advanced more than two hundred miles and arrived at Lingju City, the northernmost part of Jincheng County.
After passing Lingju City and heading north, we will proceed to Wuwei County, passing through more than two hundred miles of uninhabited areas before we reach the Guzang line.
And in those two hundred miles of uninhabited land, there are no cities for garrisoning. Once the Chu army's grain team passes there, it will definitely encounter a greater threat.
Ling Jucheng, the atmosphere in the imperial tent was a bit solemn.
Yan Liang listened to Zhou Cang's report on the recent losses of the grain team, his face was as gloomy as iron, and there was an unhappy look on his eyebrows.
Yan Liang had to admit that he underestimated Cao Pi's ability, or in other words, he underestimated the ability of Cao Pi's counselors. This harassment tactic, which was similar to a rogue, did bring him a lot of trouble.
"Didn't all the counselors of Qin die in the battle of Jicheng? Who would come up with such a plan for Cao Pi?" Yan Liang asked coldly.
Fa Zhengdao: "I think it may be Yang Fu who advises Cao Pi."
Yang Fu, no wonder.
With Jing Fa Zheng¡¯s reminder, Yan Liang suddenly remembered this person.
Although this person is not as famous as Guo Jia, Xun You and others, in history, this person designed to defeat Ma Chao and completely withdrew from Longxi, fled to Hanzhong in despair and joined Zhang Lu.
"Yang Fu does have some strategy. Cao Cao was very kind to his unfilial son. Before he died, he left him a useful think tank." Yan Liang said sarcastically.
Praise is praise, but it does not mean that Yan Liang takes Cao Pi seriously.
At that time, Cao Cao's great strategy and top advisers such as Guo Jia and Liu Ye were all destroyed by Yan Liang. How could Cao Pi add a second-rate Yang Fu to defeat Yan Liang.
"Cao Pi has resorted to rogue tactics, please give me a plan to defeat him." Yan Liang gave orders to the counselors in a commanding tone.
Fazheng, Xu Shu and other counselors all frowned in thought.
After a moment, Xu Shu raised a smile on his lips, stroking his beard and said: "Your Majesty, I think Cao Pi's intention is nothing more than to disrupt our food routes and force us to run out of food and grass and retreat without a fight. If this is the case, then what? Why don't we try to make a plan?"
???????????????????????????????????????
Yan Liang looked at Xu Shu's sly smile and knew that this great counselor must have a clever plan, so he asked him how he could pull off the trick.
Xu Shu took his time and explained his strategy.
After saying the plan, Fazheng nodded and said, "I think Xu Zhongcheng's plan is feasible."
Fazheng also agreed, but Yan Liang was even more suspicious, so he said: "Okay, let's do it this way. Cao Pi wants to be a rogue, so I will make him unable to cry."
¡¡
Thirty miles south of Guzang City is Cangsong City.
In the imperial tent, Cao Pi stood in front of the map with his hands behind his hands, discussing the current situation with his ministers.
Yang Fu stood aside and reported the recent battle situation to Cao Pi.
After half a month of cavalry harassment, the Qin cavalry led by Wang Shuang launched many successful sneak attacks, burning more than 500 Chu army grain trucks and annihilating nearly 10,000 people at the same time.??Food Army.
Huwei General Wang Shuang not only burned hundreds of carts of grain and grass in the raid the day before yesterday, but also defeated the Chu army's grain guarding army of more than 3,000 people, and killed up to 2,000 enemies.
Hearing the good news one after another, Cao Pi couldn't help but nodded slightly, and a proud expression gradually appeared on his brows.
After the report was completed, Cao Pi said happily: "Yang Aiqing, the Wang Shuang you recommended to me is indeed a good general. Come here, tell me my will, promote Wang Shuang to the rank of General Pingnan, and be granted the title of Marquis of Tingting."
Wang Shuang was promoted from a partial general to a Pingnan general in half a month. The speed of promotion is truly astonishing.
It is also rare for Cao Pi to encounter such good generals. Now is the time to recruit people. He also wants to encourage the generals by promoting Wang Shuang.
"Your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and I admire him." Yang Fu bowed his hands in compliment.
Cao Pi smiled slightly, showing a look of pride and self-reliance.
At this moment, the scouts rushed into the tent and said, "Your Majesty, General Wang sent an urgent report from the front line of Lingju City. The Chu army's forward Wen Chou has led his troops to withdraw from Lingju City. According to the reports from various Qingqi, the Chu army seems to have made a big move. Signs of retreat southward.¡±
Hearing this information, Cao Pi's already proud face instantly became filled with excitement and joy. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
