Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 633
The person who came to deliver the information was Xin Bin, a subordinate selected by Qian Feng in the capital. When Shen Zhezi heard the story of the news, he really didn't know how to evaluate it.

During the Battle of Hefei, Shen Zhezi did not count Qian Feng among them, and Qian Feng's main task after crossing the river was to infiltrate to the north.As for choosing to start with Huang Quan, it was not at the behest of Shen Zhezi.

So when Xin Bin came to convey the information, he also came to plead guilty.They chose Qin Su, a person who knew Huang Quan well, with good intentions. They hoped to disintegrate Huang Quan's stubborn heart and make the battle to recover the compound fertilizer smoother, but they didn't expect that Huang Quan would pay attention to it. Transfer to coat.Once Huang Quan wins the battle, it will undoubtedly be detrimental to Shen Zhezi's current arrangement.

Shen Zhezi didn't care much about this. If there were still some subjective speculations about Huang Quan's previous judgment, then combined with the information sent back by Xin Bin, it can be confirmed that this judgment is correct.As for the conflict between Huang Quan and Huainan defender Peng Biao, it was an unexpected harvest.

Although Shen Zhezi could have guessed that there should be many contradictions in Jiehu before, he did not expect that the division was so serious that the border guards even wished to put each other to death!From a large perspective, this is definitely good news.

As for Huang Quanqiong's rush, Shen Zhezi didn't think it was Qian Feng and others who made it happen.This person has long had the intention of abandoning the defense, but the only thing he can choose is a few directions. If he is conservative, he will retreat to Shaopi, and if he is aggressive, he will attack Tu Zhong's defensive goal directly.Huang Quan's choice of the latter was naturally due to Jie Hu's consistent contempt for the southerners and his deep confidence in his own combat power.

Although Tu Zhong was closer to Guangling and was threatening from Xuzhou, but Xuzhou's banner was chaotic and his long-distance attack was weak.In addition, Tuzhong and Jiankang are only separated by a river, and the imperial court will certainly not rest assured that those unruly army leaders in Xuzhou are roaring around the city, so it is the Yuzhou army that needs to rely heavily.

In this way, Huang Quan abandoned Hefei and entered Tuzhong, turning passive into active, which will undoubtedly cause huge turmoil in the regional situation.According to Xin Bin, this person wanted to use this to disrupt the situation in Huaixia, thereby creating an opportunity for Shihu who was far away in Yecheng to go south.From a tactical point of view, this is a good choice.

But Shen Zhezi didn't think this could be done, Shihu's power has become an imminent crisis for Jiehu.It is true that this person used to lead a heavy army to attack everywhere, but after Shi Le proclaimed himself emperor, the contradictions became clearer.Even in the attack on Shouchun and the elimination of the old enemy Zushi, Shihu was detained and not allowed to be employed. It can be seen that the power to restrict Shihu has risen to the level of national policy. How could Huang Quan be released because of Huang Quan's actions in the south!
Therefore, Huang Quan's attack on Tu Zhong was regarded as a poor ape running through the woods, panicked and desperate.Although it exceeded the original tactical layout, it was also good news on the whole. It would have the opportunity to completely wipe out Huang Quan's troops and not give his people a chance to escape.

Of course, the premise is that if you really encounter it, your unit can beat the division head-on, even if you can't defeat the heavy damage head-on, you must contain him here and create a chance for the other units to encircle and wipe out!

Rejecting Xin Bin's request to stay and fight the enemy together, Shen Zhezi sent someone to send him away to meet Qian Feng and continue northward, but left the captive Qin Su behind.The value of these spies is not reflected in the battle to kill the enemy. If Xin Bin hadn't come to report the news, they would have been caught off guard by Huang Quan's main force, which could be described as a disaster.Therefore, Shen Zhezi is also full of expectations for what they can achieve in the north.

Then Shen Zhezi called all the generals to announce the news.

After the generals learned that they might encounter Huang Quan's main force, they reacted differently after being astonished.Young generals like Shen Mu who were thirsty for battle could hardly hold back their clapping and congratulations, while Lu Yong frowned, and said with no lack of sadness: "My department was ordered, although it is the responsibility of stopping the defeated army in Hefei. But if, as the envoy said, Huang Quan abandoned his defense and fled without losing his strength, it would be hard to call good news for our department!"

Yu Manzhi was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and immediately said: "According to what General Lu has seen, is it true that our troops have to take refuge? This time the king's division went north to attack the thieves far away. They marched for many days earlier. There has been no war for a long time, and all the soldiers are relaxed. The army has already declined. Huang Quan fled in fear of the battle, and the people were panicked. If our troops still retreat without a fight and work hard to go north, why? use?"

Following Yu Man's opening, several other people also spoke one after another, mostly criticizing Lu Yong's words as damaging to morale.

Being attacked by others, Lu Yong was not in a hurry. He knew that he was discriminated against in the army. He just looked at Shen Zhezi and said seriously: "What the last general said is definitely not cowardice. Huang Quan Although this person is not well-known in the south, he should not be underestimated. He has long been a dog-fighting ring for stone thieves, and a fake treats him, so it can be seen that he is fierce and fierce, and he is not mediocre."

"A slave who has fought for a long time, he is brave and not afraid of death in front of the battle. The far country is poor, so he has a stronger heart. If you underestimate the enemy, you will be ruthlessly eaten! If you fight in a hurry, the outcome is really unpredictable."

Speaking of this, Lu Yong paused for a moment, seeing that all the generals were about to open their mouths to speak, and he quickly said: "The final general is not timid and short-tempered! The emperor is Jiang Biao's high-ranking candidate, and he is the best In the world, it is really inappropriate to stay in a dangerous place and fight fiercely with the gangsters! Our troops are placed on the sidelines, and they are not set up to fight in the front line. We have a lot of soldiers and heavy capital in our ranks. It is inevitable that we will invest in thieves, so we should retreat slowly. , Waiting for the teacher who will be backed up. Without the kindness of the envoy, this body would have long since disappeared. This time I am going to battle, I would like to ask for death after the battle is over!"

After Lu Yong finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent became a little dull. How many people shouted for a fight earlier did not know that most of what Lu Yong said was true.Although their troops have thousands of soldiers capable of fighting, nearly half of them are new soldiers. Compared with Huang Quan's elite in hundreds of battles, the number of victories is really not high.

What's more, there are a lot of materials and weapons here right now, and there are many people who have been appeased along the way. Once the battle is unfavorable, these will become a hindrance.

Before, they could use fear of war to criticize Lu Yong, but now that Lu Yong took the initiative to ask for the end of the war, they really couldn't say anything about fear of war.

Seeing that all the generals were silent, Shen Zhezi opened his mouth and said: "A hundred flowers are beautiful, it is not enough to boast; the plum blossoms are proud of the snow, it shows the strength of character! When there is a battle, everyone should use their lives, and the soldiers should work hard to defeat the enemy. The difference between victory and defeat is definitely not determined by one or two brave soldiers. I have also been taught by General Lu's prudence!"

"However, our army's new and cutting-edge divisions rely only on their courage and courage. It is really not a good choice to retreat in fear of difficulties. Besides, Huang Quan's troops are fleeing, and he does not know when he will arrive. A strong enemy lies on the left, like a sharp sword Hanging high on the neck, the soldiers of the new formation may still be stable, but if they move a little, they may collapse. If the enemy attack halfway, they may collapse for thousands of miles!"

Shen Zhezi's troops are also at two extremes. Although people like Yu Manzhi and Xie Yi have the heart to fight, the battle they have experienced is nothing more than the time when they counterattacked Jiankang with Shen Zhezi.But in that battle, even Shen Zhezi himself had to admit that the reason why he was able to win had nothing to do with the battle.In addition, there are still more than 3000 new recruits from the Shengwu Army. It is actually doubtful how much combat effectiveness they can exert in a truly tragic war.

And Lu Yong's troops can be described as an elite division, even in Xuzhou, where there are many army leaders, they can be regarded as excellent soldiers.

Put the two together, and disputes are inevitable.Of course, Shen Zhezi not only recognized the impulsiveness and courage of young people, but also valued Lu Yong's calmness that could assess the situation and pay attention to the facts.

And the current situation does not require him to make a difficult choice.Huang Quan will show up at some point, and retreating at this time is definitely not a good choice.The combat effectiveness of the new recruits is worrying. If there is a camp to hold on to, it can be restrained and maintain a basic control. But if they leave the camp and encounter a field battle, then they will only be harvested, and it is impossible to organize any effective counterattack. .

Hearing what Shen Zhezi said, even Lu Yong didn't know what to say for a while, it was really unexpected to encounter Huang Quan's main force.After pondering for a long while, he said again: "The envoy's concern is indeed profound, and the general will not be able to think about it. The only plan for now is to defend the ground and wait for help, and we can win one or two victories. The general will not dare to wait." I resign, but I beg your envoy to be kind to the great use of your body, and gallop back to rescue the struggling teachers!"

The rest of the generals also commented after hearing Lu Yong's words. Although they were not afraid of the battle, they also realized that the battle was not optimistic.Shen Zhezi is not only their chief general, but also a key figure in the overall planning. At this time, it is better to choose the good and ask for help.

"Jin Zuo has risen and fallen many times, and the history has never touched me. Why should you begrudge this body and pretend to be of great use? When you are on the battlefield, you should fight to the death! There is no need to mention this discussion. I encourage you all. If this battle is not lucky, all the bones will be buried in the battle. Therefore, Huang Quan is not alone! But I have never believed in the superficiality of fate, so I will make less noise, so that the fire here can burn the cauldron and cook slaves!"

Shen Zhezi raised his hand to interrupt everyone's persuasion, and then ordered the generals to return to the camp to prepare for the battle, ending the meeting.

The construction in the river valley came to an end temporarily, and the servants turned back to the camp at the corner between the two rivers to start building fortifications, digging deep trenches, and building piles of soil.Because it is not clear when the Ministry of Huang Quan will appear here, the buildings of the camp are also extrapolated from the sharp corners.

All the wood and stone materials originally stored for building the city were used, and within a day or two, layers of camps were built at the angle between the two rivers.Regardless of the role these camps will play in actual combat, at least seeing this layer of fortifications will give those recruits who are anxious about the imminent battle a sense of security, and they will prepare for battle in an orderly manner in the camp.

In the camp, the veterans of Lu Yong's troops stationed in the outer defense line. Nearly 2000 people were spread out in the two outer defense lines.The elite soldiers led by Shen Zhezi came to the aid to support the outside line.As for the new recruits of the Shengwu Army, they were placed at the core of the inner formation, and then they went to the water village in the river.

Shen Mu's unreliable guy proposed to scuttle the boat to cut off the way out, but Shen Zhezi directly ignored it.This guy is simply applying allusions and wants to pay tribute to King Xiang.In this battle, boats and ships are still very useful. They can advance and retreat to block waterways, prevent the enemy from crossing the water, and support land battles.

All the rangers were also sent out, one sent to various ministries to warn for help, and the other scouted the surrounding area to inquire about the enemy's situation.

Time passed quickly in the busy schedule, and after five days, Huang Quan's subordinates appeared near Tushui.As soon as it appears, kill it immediately!
