Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 670
The small city of Huainan is not a precipitous place. In fact, as long as the longevity of the entire Huainan land is guaranteed, the rest of the city's defenses will not have much strategic significance.

In fact, this small town does not belong to the entire Shouchun Defense Zone. It was built on purpose when Zuyue and Taichung were at odds with each other earlier. It didn't last long after that.It is really not a suitable place to build a city because the surrounding fields are flat and there is no water flow nearby.

However, Peng Biao chose such an isolated city as the last defensive place, which shows that his heart is still alive. Once the city cannot be defended, or the battle situation changes, the four gates will be opened, and he can gallop into the wild.What's more, taking advantage of the chaotic formation of the opponent's dispatched siege, he directly cut through the city wall and rushed out with cavalry, killing the enemy.

No matter how small a city is, it is still a city. If Shen Zhezi wanted to completely trap Peng Biao's troops in the small city of Huainan, he would have to mobilize several times his troops.Therefore, a seemingly self-abandoning and desperate decision is actually full of variables.

Shen Zhezi actually doesn't have great insights in tactics, nor is he a genius in using soldiers like a god.As far as the garrison site Peng Biao chose, if it wasn't for Xi Jian's explanation, he wouldn't even have noticed it.

Yes, it is Xi Jian who is standing beside Shen Zhezi and watching the small town of Huainan side by side with him.After receiving Shen Zhezi's statement, Xi Jian actually galloped here personally. Since he had presided over the Huai war in the north for the past six months, when he came here, he even caught up with the last encirclement and annihilation battle in Huainan .

"This city is open and open. If the regular division is trapped here, it will be said to be dead and useless. But Peng Biao's troops are full of cavalry, which can block the enemy with the city wall, but they can't become a trapped division. If you want to be stable here, Weizhou must be the same You have to do it all. Your majestic chariot formation is also a wonderful plan, but if the enemy does not attack the place where you are defending, you can only look at the dust and sigh with shame, there is nothing you can do."

When Xi Jian talked about this, there was no lack of emotion in his words: "Peng Biao has reached the end of the road, but he can still manage to lead Weizhou and your thousands of troops to this small town. It is really cunning. Yuzhou came to attack this time. , How many people are there? If the army is trapped here for a long time, it will be difficult for the people in Huaibei to rush to help."

"Xi Gong has a deep plan and has learned about military affairs for a long time. Hearing this theory really taught me a lot."

Shen Zhezi is not a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. To be honest, in this battle, he is indeed more than stable, but not brave enough.Obviously, the military strength has already occupied a great advantage, but the war is still delayed until now.Although all the towns are advancing bravely and Shouchun has no space for quick help, in fact, he still wins in strategy and loses in tactics.

Because of being too conservative, Peng Biao was so connived that although he suffered repeated setbacks, he still retains a very strong combat effectiveness. If a situation of complete annihilation is required, a large number of troops must be invested.

"Fortunately, the younger generation is not fighting alone, and there is still the help of Xigong Qiancheng. Xuzhou's elite soldiers are here, and the Huaiyou fortresses will naturally be handed over. The younger generation can also mobilize troops to kill this thief slowly!"

Although Shen Zhezi is lacking in tactics, the outcome of a war never depends only on the victory or defeat on the battlefield.Peng Biao paid too much attention to gains and losses on the battlefield, and as a result, he made repeated moves. Many seemingly ingenious responses pushed him to a dead end step by step.No matter how delicate the current response is, it is actually just a desperate arrangement to survive.

Hearing this, Xi Jian immediately smiled, pointing out Shen Zhezi's lack of tactics. Naturally, he was not just trying to satisfy his own sense of superiority, but also wanted to gain a psychological advantage. He told Shen Zhezi that if he wanted to wipe out all Peng Biao must rely on the assistance of the Xuzhou Army, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve all the achievements.

"The fortresses on the right side of Huai were obtained through the hard work of your troops in Weizhou. If I took them empty-handed, I would feel ashamed. What's more, the battle in Huaiyin is fierce now. If I send the rest of my soldiers to go to Huai It’s actually overwhelming.”

Speaking of this, Xi Jian is not lacking in embarrassment.Does he want to go to Zhubao?Dream about it!
Those military leaders of the Xuzhou Army are more arrogant than these Wubi masters in Huainan.Huaiyin was the main battlefield in the early years, and the entanglements among the various ministries were already extremely deep. Although Xi Jian bears the name of a governor, there are many constraints in wanting to intervene forcefully.

Otherwise, relying on Xuzhou's strong military strength alone, why did Huaiyin not even have a major breakthrough for a long time.If it is vigorously rectified, it may cause Xu Bei's generals to rebound, causing chaos in the defense line and corruption in the war.If you get rid of those people and use your own headquarters to press up and attack, those generals will suspect that he has other plans and attack the country by false routes.

Therefore, Xi Jian is also eager to open up a new battlefield, so as to break the current situation in Xuzhou where the military leaders are entangled and hinder each other.Otherwise, Shen Zhezi wouldn't just throw a wink here, and he hurried to finalize the matter in person.

But if he agreed to Shen Zhezi so easily, Xi Jian would feel a little embarrassed.This kid just poached him once, and then he threw out some benefits, and he wanted to make an appointment together regardless of previous suspicions, which made him feel a bit low-profile.Giving a sweet date with a slap is a way for the elders to coax the younger ones.

Seeing Xi Jian's embarrassed face, Shen Zhezi was really powerless to complain. The only thing the old guys couldn't accept was that they had already taken off their trousers and had to put on a coy and unyielding posture.It's inconvenient to take over, so what are you doing here in such a hurry?Typical of those who are cheap and good-looking, with "please me" written all over their brows and eyes.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being. Xi Gong is here in person. Although the army is still on the way at the moment, we must treat him warmly."

After saying that, Shen Zhezi stopped continuing the topic and invited Xi Jian to join the camp instead.

When Xi Jian saw this, he didn't say any more, he had already ordered his troops to gallop here before he came, and he would definitely be able to take over the fort before the arrival of the reinforcements from the Huai River.However, they are all light riding and simple, and Shen Zhezi will definitely be needed to provide weapons at that time. Although this kid is stubborn at the moment, in order to maintain the situation in Huainan, he will definitely let himself ask for it.

"In fact, Peng Biao's troops have been forced to this point. Even if the sword and armor are not used, it may not be impossible to complete the work."

On the way, Shen Zhezi said again, but Xi Jian just smiled when he heard the words. He only regarded Shen Zhezi as a self-consolation of a young man who was unwilling to admit defeat. If Peng Biao really gave up fighting back, he would never choose the small town of Huainan, which is difficult to grow. keep the place.

However, when they arrived in the camp, before the two entered the account, some soldiers attracted Peng Biao's envoy who begged to surrender.Shen Zhezi took Peng Biao's surrender letter, smiled and shook at Xi Jian, no matter how capable you are, how coy you are!Now there is a chance to accept the surrender directly without any price, no matter what you say, I will not give it to the castles on the Huai River!
Xi Jian's face was a bit ugly, he took a look at the letter, and then said seriously: "Your servant is untrustworthy, this thief has no intention of surrendering, he is just using this as a lure to delay time. Don't believe me, give Nu'er a chance to fight back!"

"It's just a bid to be cut. Even if he is willing to surrender, I may not be willing to accept it."

Shen Zhezi just laughed when he heard the words, he had already planned how to get rid of Peng Biao, but he used this to turn Xi Jian into an army, which aroused a lot of bad humor in his heart.

Although Xi Jian was sure that the surrender this time was not credible, but seeing Shen Zhezi's noncommittal attitude, he couldn't make decisions for Shen Zhezi, so he explained his follow-up arrangements exactly to show that he was indeed doing his best to cooperate with the Yuzhou Army, and hoped that Shen Zhezi would Zhezi should not be greedy for short-term convenience, and even reduce the original plan to ask for a few points.

However, Shen Zhezi stopped talking about it, and warmly invited Xi Jian to enter the account.After entering the account, Xi Jian realized that he was not the only one who invited him, and dozens of people had already gathered in the account.After Shen Zhezi introduced them one by one, I realized that these people were all Wubi masters of various families in this area.

Those Wubi masters were invited here, and they were also guessing what Shen Zhezi's intentions were. When they saw that standing next to Shen Zhezi turned out to be Xijian, the governor of Xuzhou, their expressions were different, and they all respected him.After all, for people like them, although Shen Zhezi was a young man, and might become the guard of Shouchun in the future, when it comes to popularity, he is hard to compare with Xijian, who lived in Guangling for a long time.

"Since entering the north, I have relied on the help of all the sages in the village. Fortunately, I have made little contribution. However, I am young and mediocre, and I dare not look forward to how Huainan will be established and managed in the future. Today I am honored to invite Xi Gong here, and I also represent you. I would like to ask Xi Gong for advice on how to settle down after returning to the land."

When Xi Jian heard Shen Zhezi's words, he immediately understood that this kid was clearly using his power to frighten the villagers.Thinking that he still has many obstacles in Xuzhou, and he has to come here to support Shen Zhezi, it is really weird in his heart.But since the topic has reached this point, it is not good to have any excuses, even if it is a brief introduction to the future plans of the Xuzhou Army.

When everyone in the banquet heard Xi Jian's words, their expressions were not lacking in excitement.Originally they thought that the battle in Huainan was only with the Yuzhou Army or Shen Zhezi's simple actions, but they didn't expect that the Xuzhou Army would also intervene in it. The army guarded the Huai River together, and tens of thousands of troops were mobilized!
Of course, it is impossible to clearly analyze the real military plan for them, but the close connection between Yuzhou and Xuzhou is beyond their imagination.For a while, the mood was naturally mixed with joy and sorrow. On the one hand, the joy was that a large number of troops from the two towns were betting here, and the safety of the countryside was undoubtedly more secure.The worrying aspect is that the Jiangdong court is so vigorous, how much room for self-reliance will be left for them in the future?
Shen Zhezi didn't care what everyone was thinking. After Xi Jian finished speaking, he immediately passed on Peng Biao's surrender letter to the public, and at the same time sneered: "Although I am young and young, I am not lacking in arrogance and courage, but my own self-examination is the only one. It is desirable, but it is pure and fierce, and dare not fall into fame! This thief Peng Biao has abused our Jin people for a long time, and his atrocities are heinous. Now that he is in poverty, he dares to expect to beg for himself? What a joke!"

"Now that Bandit Peng has entered the isolated city, it's hard to be more aggressive. The ban on the village of the day before yesterday has been lifted, and today I invite Ding, a native of the village, to be brave here and share the merit!"

At this point, Shen Zhezi crumpled up the surrender letter, threw it into the charcoal basin, and then asked someone to bring the envoy Peng Biao to the front, beheaded with a knife, looked back at the crowd and raised his arms and said: "Master Wang is here, everyone Those who abuse our people will only be rewarded with death! Regardless of the past, after this battle, I will share the merits with you!"

There was a thunderous response in the big tent for a while, and Xi Jian was full of thoughtfulness when he saw this scene.

　It's finally finished, it's not too late. . .
