Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In Linfen city, under the orange wax lamp, Chen Tai took apart the military newspaper in front of him and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.

"Isn't Liu Chan busy moving the capital? And the general has entered Jingzhou, how dare he conquer Hedong himself now."

Chen Taidang couldn't believe it, and checked the seal and seal on the military newspaper, and seeing that it was correct, he believed the military newspaper.

Chen Tai looked down carefully again, and saw that Pu Ban was still in his hand, he felt a little at ease, but seeing Liu Chan divide his troops into two groups, going all the way deep into the hinterland of Hedong, and attacking the county of Hedong; Difficult to calm down again.

The soldiers and horses stationed at Hedong were actually 5000. Pubanjin stationed [-] soldiers, and Pi's and Fenyin each stationed only [-] to [-] soldiers. They had about [-] soldiers and horses in their hands. There are [-] people, and the remaining [-] people are in the hands of Sun Li, the governor of Hedong.

In the past, these soldiers and horses were divided into guarding the outer city. If there was any change in the Han army, they could just stick to the city, and the Chinese troops from Bingzhou, Sizhou, and Yecheng would rush to them immediately.Now that the Han army broke into Hedong, they were almost unprepared in all aspects, and could only stand by and wait for help in a hurry.

More importantly, Liu Chan's troops were divided into two groups. One route led his army to directly capture Anyi, and the other route Huo Yi attacked Fenyin, Ping's and other city gates. This division of troops directly hit the gate of the East.

Dividing troops into several routes may be very taboo to those who are used to reading novels and movies in later generations. They think it is a trick of the generals. The most typical is the battle of Saarhu between the Ming and Jin Dynasties.However, why there are so many generals in ancient and modern China and abroad like to divide their troops, one is because of the situation, and the other is that it is really beneficial to divide the troops.

As for when to use it is the right move, it needs to be discussed and used according to the time.Take Liu Chan’s entry into Hedong and Cao Shuang’s attack on Jingzhou as an example. They all marched by dividing their troops. However, Cao Shuang was blocked in the outer city. The objective environment of the army is different.

The first and most important point is the geographical environment.Although Nanyang has no natural dangers in the true sense, the surrounding mountains can also be ignored.When Cao Shuang's army arrived at the outskirts of the mountains, Wang Ping received an early warning. When Cao Shuang arrived at the city, Wang Ping directly completed the strategy of sticking to the outer city.

However, the dangerous Yellow River in the east of the river froze into ice in the deep winter, and rushed across the Yellow River from Guanzhong. Naturally, the risk of being discovered by the Wei army sentries was saved without using boats.In one night, Yuan Hong completed the task of crossing the Yellow River from Wangcheng to attack Pubanjin, without giving any time for the soldiers and horses in Hedong to react.

Chen Tai lost the opportunity to lead his army to support the front line, so naturally his strategy of defending the outer city could not be realized.Under such circumstances, Liu Chan surrounded Pucheng with no enemy support, and the rest of the army took advantage of its emptiness to penetrate deep into the hinterland.Even if this battle is invincible, Liu Chan can rely on going deep into the hinterland to plunder a large number of people in Hedong to fill the population.

However, even if he divided his troops to garrison the outer city, the empty rear would be plundered by Jiang Wei who rushed out from Luliang Mountain. This is the advantage of dividing troops to fight.

At this moment, Chen Tai forced himself to calm down, looked at the map of Hedong in front of him, and thought about the current situation.

Liu Chan's troops went out of Guanzhong. According to the rules of the Shu Han's use of troops in the past, Shuofang Jiang Wei would inevitably send troops to Hedong to cooperate in the battle.As far as the present is concerned, there may be three routes of soldiers and horses in the Shu Han Dynasty. One route is the puppet emperor Liu Chan's invasion of Anyi; one route is Huo Yi's attack on Fenyin;

The false emperor Liu Chan must be a large army on this road, and he is basically out of reach in Linfen.However, Sun Li, the prefect, sits in Anyi, and should be able to hold on for a while, hoping that there will be soldiers and horses available in the direction of Yecheng and Sizhou.

When Jiang Wei sent his troops out of Luliang, his target was probably Pingyang and Linfen. If he was allowed to conquer these two cities, the connection between Hedong and Bingzhou would be blocked, which would be a serious problem.

Huo Yi is the queen general of the bandits, and there are quite a few soldiers under his command. The strength of Fenyin is only [-], so it is basically difficult to hold on to it.

Chen Tai knocked on the table, and said to himself: "We should use the strategy of gathering troops in the city, and let the soldiers from the outer city gather in one place to resist Huo Yi. Liu Chan must be trying to lure me to lead his troops to the south so that Jiang can go south." Wei's army came out from Lvliang, carrying out the strategy of breaking the road. Maybe Liu Chan is already on the main road, and he raised his troops to wait for our troops."

"So I might as well lead the soldiers of the headquarters to integrate the Han and Hu soldiers in Taiyuan, and defend Anyi with Sun Li, and defeat Jiang Wei's troops who came from afar first. Then watch the battle situation of Anyi's troops."

Regarding the current situation, Chen Tai could only make the most reasonable plan.Due to the current military strength limitation, he was unable to rescue Anyi. Even if he went to rescue, with his current military strength, it would not be enough for Liu Chan.If he didn't even have such soldiers and horses, Hedong would be completely gone, and it would even affect Taiyuan and Shangdang in Bingzhou.Therefore, it is better to gather the Bingzhou sergeants first, defeat Jiang Wei's troops at close range, and then look at the situation of the other two routes.

"Come on!"

"Order Li Fu to integrate the troops at Fenyin, Pi's and other ferry crossings, and retreat to Gengxiang to stop Huo Yi."

Facing the map, Chen Tai issued orders one by one, and said: "Order Taiyuan, Xihe, Leping, and Shangdang to gather soldiers and horses in Pingyang City."

Chen Tai, as Cao Wei's general who conquered the north, the governor of Bingzhou, the guard of the Xiongnu captain, and the festival, had the right to dispatch all soldiers and horses in Hedong and Bingzhou.

"promise!"

……

Yecheng, Taifu Mansion.

"Master~"

Shang Shulang Fu Gu held the battle report from Hedong, ignored the guards, broke into Taifu's mansion, and shouted loudly without regard to etiquette: "Sima Taifu, the emergency army report from Hedong. The false emperor Liu Chan raised [-] troops and divided them into three groups. Entering the east of the river, the situation in the east of the river is critical."

Sima Yi, who was sitting in the hall reading military books, was startled when he heard the noise outside.Then he came to his senses, quickly dropped the book of war, got up and ran to the couch in the side hall, pretending to be resting when he was unwell.

Fu Gu went to the room where Sima Yi was resting, saw Sima Yi lying on the couch, strode forward, and asked nervously, "What's the matter with Taifu?"

Under the service of the maid, Sima Yi leaned on the pillow, took a deep breath and said, "Yi is old and unwell. I don't know why Fu Shangshu came here, maybe there is a change ahead."

Fu Gu sighed, and said: "The Grand Tutor didn't know something. The false emperor Liu Chan suddenly conquered Hedong himself. The second city has been taken by the western thieves, and their troops are about to reach Anyi."

"Chen Zhengbei ordered Li Fu to lead the army to guard Jiting to stop Huo Yi's troops. He gathered the people of Bingzhou in Pingyang, and wanted to defeat Jiang Wei first and rescue Anyi. Now the general is far away in Jingzhou, besieging Wang Ping, It is futile. But the situation in Hedong is critical, and the Tai Tuo needs to help him."

Fu Gu's dissatisfaction with Cao Shuang has been clearly revealed through the words in his words.

Sima Yi coughed a few times and said, "Most of the generals in Yecheng were taken away by the generals, and Guo Huai, the governor of Sizhou, also sent his troops south. If we rescue Hedong today, there may be insufficient troops. Besides, Yi has no military power and cannot command the soldiers. It needs to be ordered by the general."

After speaking, Sima Yi pointed to his body, and said with a wry smile: "And Yi is not feeling well, and he is plagued by illnesses. Even if he wants to serve the country, he may be powerless!"

Hearing this, Fu Gu said in a deep voice: "Shang Shutai has sent a letter to the general, asking him to withdraw his troops as soon as possible. As for the reinforcements sent, all the soldiers from Hebei can be dispatched to rescue Hedong."

Sima Yi still refused, coughing and said: "Fei Yi doesn't want to, it's because I can't do what I want, I hope you will understand. And there is no edict, so I dare not consulate!"

After speaking, Sima Yi lay on the couch, unmoved.Fu Gu gave a few more words of persuasion, seeing that Sima Yi was worried that he would not dare to deal with it without Cao Shuang's consent, so he had to leave the house with a sigh.

After Fu Gu left, Master Sima also returned to the mansion, and asked his father Sima Yi, saying, "The battle in Hedong is critical now, I don't know why my father doesn't want to come forward to consulate?"

Sima Yi with a normal complexion stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's not the time to be a director, and the Queen Mother still needs an order."

Master Sima nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing.

After Fu Gu, who had gone to Taifu's mansion, reported the situation to Shang Shutai, everyone was astonished as Sima Yi said, and they went to the palace to see Queen Mother Guo and asked her for an order.
