It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 271 Xiangyang?

"A note?"

Di Han, who experienced this kind of thing for the first time, couldn't help but frown slightly and didn't know what to say.

For a moment, I was a little undecided.

If Yue Shaoqian was here, he should be used to it.

In the early years when Liu Ke first ascended the throne, he walked out of the city completely in front of Yue Shaoqian and under his nose.

Let us also say that it was the emperor who acted without permission and left without saying goodbye.

All the generals, including Di Han, naturally had nothing to say.

Overall, at least it's a good sign.

At least the emperor is not in Runan County, where no news can be spread, but is back in Jingzhou, which is a big boost to morale.

In the past year, there has been no major breakthrough in the war in Jingbei. It really needs an emperor who must win every battle, break every enemy, and capture every city to boost morale.

And it also has great strategic significance.

At least once the news of the emperor's return to Jingzhou spread, the Donghu guards in various counties and cities in northern Jingzhou would not dare to act rashly again.

This kind of strategic deterrence is something that no general in the world can achieve.

It's just that Di Han is really a little unsure at the moment, so he simply decides to discuss the matter with the generals in the army.

"Generals."

Di Han hesitated for a moment, then asked Lei Lan to take out the note and said:
"Let us read through the few notes left by His Majesty so that we can discuss what to do next..."

"I am too ignorant to act arbitrarily."

All the generals were helpless. Whether it was Hou Junyan or Leshun, although they had certain abilities, their courage and prestige were far behind.

He could only read the note with Di Han.

However, when Lei Lan opened the note and Di Han flipped through it, he sighed when he saw the words "Look Up".

The other generals came forward to see him and took a deep breath.

Spring has just begun and the climate is starting to get warmer.

Looking over the note inside and out, it turned out to be just two words.

Siege.

They were still asked to attack the city, Wancheng, Xinye, wherever they could. They couldn't lie down in the barracks anyway, they had to pick up their weapons and stab the Donghu people.

If anything, this is indeed the way today.

No matter how you fight, you have to show your momentum.

But you must know that attacking a city is easier said than done.

If we really want to conquer the city, why has there been no progress in the past year and a half?
In fact, this is the normal situation in the Northern Expedition.

It is impossible to conquer a city within three to five years.

Just say how many years did it take for Emperor Zhaolie and Marquis Wu to march from Shuzhong to Guanzhong during the Northern Expedition, with Emperor Guan Sheng in tow and the control of Soochow?

Besides, if we really want to start using all the strength of the army to attack the city on a large scale, almost every aspect will be involved.

Not only the deployment of troops, but also the subsequent transportation of grain, fodder and baggage, as well as the communication between various troops and horses, and even the movements of the Donghu people must be paid attention to at all times. Even the defense line displayed by Yue Shaoqian in Feishui must be paid more attention to. .

It can be said that a single move can affect the whole body. Compared with the current confrontation situation, it is actually more dangerous. If you are not careful, things can easily go wrong.

With all the confusion, how can one say that attacking a city can lead to an attack?
But unfortunately, it is impossible not to just listen.

Although they are just a few small notes, at first glance, the handwriting is quite cute.

But it is indeed your destiny.

The emperor's decree is like a mountain, which is the first decree issued by the emperor after his return from Runan.Who dares to disobey?
With an extremely complicated mood, Di Han handed the thousand-jin note to Hou Junyan behind him.

Hou Junyan raised his head and snorted softly. He likes to take risks and is quite proud, but he is not timid.

Moreover, he felt that once the news of the emperor's return to Jingzhou spread, and the Han army mobilized troops to attack the city with all their strength, some timid Donghu people might abandon the city and leave.

But Hou Junyan, a man of two hundred kilograms and a rebel of nine kilograms, was still reluctant to carry out the order and followed common sense to attack the city.

After all, it really can’t be conquered.

At this time, Di Han picked up the second note and felt dizzy again.

It turns out this is talking about Han Qi.

According to what the emperor meant, although Han Qi had made great achievements in southern Shu and raised tens of thousands of troops on his own initiative, he should not be expected to turn around and support Jingzhou.

Just pretend that Han Qi and the Han army in southern Shu do not exist.

Di Han was speechless.

Han Qi didn't make any achievements in southern Shu at all, he just went crazy!

The area in southern Shu was almost paralyzed. If the terrain hadn't been too complicated, Han Qi might have been able to lead his troops northward and hit Chengdu directly. The progress was probably faster than the main force of the Han army in Jingzhou. Even faster!
But this is just a hypothesis.

The point is that the terrain in southern Shu is complex and the climate is not good. Han Qi was able to win because he fought a defensive counterattack. At the same time, the Donghu people also suffered the disadvantage of being underprepared and underestimating the enemy by diverting troops to exterminate the locusts.

Han Qi definitely cannot continue to advance north.

And it's obvious that Jingzhou is the main battlefield. You, Han Qi, have conquered southern Shu and added tens of thousands of troops, but you didn't support the main battlefield and stayed in southern Shu?
The emperor is also outrageous.

News in Runan County is blocked, so it is difficult to know the news about Han Qi in southern Shu.

The emperor must have found out about Han Qi after he crossed the river and returned to Jingzhou.

But in just a few days, it was immediately concluded that Han Qi would not come to help?

This is a larger amount of information than the previous siege note.

Not only did it show that there were no reinforcements in Jingzhou at this time, but it also made it clear that Han Qi might be suspected of relying on his own troops.

No wonder the emperor was in a hurry to attack the city, and even after successfully completing the operation behind enemy lines in Runan, he had to rush back to Jingzhou.

This shows that if the main force of the Han army still fails to make any breakthrough in Jingzhou, I am afraid that something will happen to Shunan and Jiaozhou!

The emperor's knowledge of people is unparalleled in the world. So, Han Qi may not really have the intention to support his troops with self-respect!
When Hou Junyan and Leshun met, they couldn't help but respond seriously.

Di Han handed the note to Leshun behind him, one for you, one for me, and a bowl of water.

He picked up the third note from Lei Lan's hand.

At first glance, the whole person seemed a little numb.

"Xiangyang!"

"Cough cough cough-"

Xue Jia opened the curtain and walked into the tent with a gust of cold wind.

Di Han rushed to meet him and asked:

"Is the military advisor feeling better?"

Xue Jia had weak bones and was coughing all day long. He had caught wind and cold a while ago and had been lying down to rest. All the generals in the army were worried, fearing that he would die.

"It's okay, it's just a minor illness. Speaking of which, the general's arrow wound should be almost healed?"

Xue Jia waved his hand, indicating that nothing was wrong, it was just the wind and cold, it was a minor problem and it would not kill him.

Then he calmed down, pointed to the note in Di Han's hand, and repeated:
"It must be Xiangyang City."
