Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1363 What is Jin Kingdom's Reliance

The hall became quiet, and Wang Yan was also a little surprised by Dai Zhifan's interruption.

The Jin army ambushed the forward, and for a while they couldn't eat the elite soldiers of Hengchong and Zhongyong, and his 20 troops were in Huayin, the distance was not too far, and rescue would definitely come in time.

From this point of view, Jin Jun's ambush was completely digging a hole to bury himself, purely courting death.

Wang Yan despised Jin Jun because of his deep foundation, but Jin Jun did have two brushes, which he admitted.

It's just that even if they have some ability, according to the previous information, the Jin army's strength in Guanzhong is only 9 people. After several months of attacking and defending Tongguan, it lost more than 1 people, and now it reaches 8 people.

Wang Yan stroked his beard under his forehead, Jin Jun only had such a small number of people, even if they were capable, they surrounded Lintong, so they still wanted to fight for help, wouldn't that be a dead end for rats gnawing on kitchen knives?

Jin Jun will definitely not seek death by himself, that would be really aggressive, where did they get the confidence to surround Lintong and resist reinforcements?
This style of play is obviously unprofitable, so it can only show that they have something to rely on to dare to do this.

At this point, Wang Yan also sensed the taste of conspiracy. He pondered slightly, walked back to the sand table, looked at it for a while, thought about the matter in his mind, frowned and said: "The target of the gold thief should not be the striker. I'm afraid he wants to murder the lonely king, but why does he murder the lonely king? This is a strange thing, and it really should be sorted out."

Wang Yan could still listen to persuasion. Although Dai Zhifan felt that something was wrong, he couldn't tell where the problem was. He followed behind Wang Yan and said, "Haoge can use at most 8 troops. This number of people surrounds Lintong. , It is obviously unwise to be on guard against us going to the rescue. I think there must be a demon if something goes wrong, and there must be some conspiracy in it."

Wang Yan's mind was spinning. To be honest, he was only so tricky in war. He just liked to think things through and then make the safest choice.

Wang Yan stood in front of the sand table with his arms folded, nodded, "Mingzhang is right, this matter does reveal a demonic aura." He pondered for a while, and then said: "From Hauge's standpoint, why does he What about Wei Lintong? Since he led the forwards to Lintong, it is entirely possible to lead them to Chang'an and look for an opportunity to defeat them."

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Wang Yan said to himself: "Even if Haoge defeated the forward, with the mobility of the Ma Jun, he must be defeated without injury, and even if he defeated the forward, he could not change the situation of the battle, so he chose Surround the striker, and then lure the lonely king to rescue him. Only when he defeats the lonely king, the situation in Guanzhong will be completely reversed. But it is still the question just now, what is Hauge's support?"

Wang Yan's overall view is still very strong, and he is very good at grasping the main contradiction.The crux of the problem now is to figure out what the Jin army relies on.

Many angry generals followed Wang Yan back to the sand table, and they didn't quite understand, but they could count the soldiers and horses that the Jin army could use.

"Jianguo." He Zhen cupped her hands, "there are only more than [-] gold thieves in total, [-] go to northern Shaanxi, [-] go to Hanzhong, and the remaining soldiers and horses can be counted on your fingers. We have a large army More than [-], even if the gold thieves have schemes, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of!"

At this time, although the generals felt that the situation was a bit abnormal and knew that Jin Guo had plans, they still didn't take it seriously in the face of the huge military superiority.

Wang Yan didn't notice the conspiracy, that's another thing, now that he has realized the problem, then he has to figure things out, he can't be so vague, this is not his style, and he won't feel at ease.

Wang Yan waved his hand and directly rejected He Zhen's suggestion. This does not mean that he is afraid of the Jin army. He can indeed run amok with 20 people, and he can also break into the dragon's lake and tiger's den. Careful.

Seeing this, Sun Shoufa immediately said: "Jianguo, since we have already noticed that the gold thieves want to fight for help, then let's not move in secret for the time being, and send scouts to find out if there is an ambush, and find out the gold army's cards before we act, isn't it all right? ?”

Wang Yanwen glanced at him, "What Shengwu said is not wrong, but Wang Shixiu had a memorial to urge food before, and now the forward doesn't have much food. It is necessary to investigate, and you should do this right away, and disperse the scouts as soon as possible." However, apart from the scouts, we still need to analyze the intentions of the Jin army as soon as possible and make a response, so that we can prevent the forwards from falling into a desperate situation, defeat the Jin army as soon as possible, and end the battle in Guanzhong."

Wang Yan's words just now have actually opened up the minds of everyone, as long as they think about the conditions for Hauge's victory, they can more or less guess Hauge's support.

Li Guo frowned, "Jianguo, if Hauge wants to win, besides fighting for aid, he will run out of food. What other tricks can he play? He will definitely not be able to fight for aid with only a few people. How about pulling the army over? It’s not realistic to cut off the food, we have already opened the passage to enter the customs, and there is a large army guarding the exit, how can he cut it off?”

Li Guo said it with a contemptuous tone, but Wang Yan frowned, walked two steps in front of the sand table, stopped and said: "There is no way to plan poison than to run out of food. If we send a large army to rescue, the army has left Huayin , it is really possible for him to die alone."

Li Guo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and he just said it casually, but looking at the sand table now, if the army rushes in to help, the strength of the Ming army at the exit of Tongguan will be weakened, and if the Jin army ambushed a group of people nearby , Then it is really possible to cut off the connection between the Ming army and Tongguan, and cut off the Ming army's food road and retreat.

After all, when they came here, everyone knew a little about the terrain when they entered Guanzhong. If such a man and horse really came back, it might really be possible to temporarily cut off the Ming army's food road.

"This is a possible strategy for Hauge!" Wang Yan glanced at Li Guo approvingly.

Dai Zhifan said at this time: "It is said that there are 70 or 30 soldiers in the Jin Kingdom, and nearly [-] in Chang'an after the crisis in Guanzhong. Could it be that Haoge is planning to use these troops to ambush us? But as far as I know, these soldiers and farmers It's no different, there are some unemployed workers who have only been organized in recent months, if Hauge uses them to ambush, I think it's a joke."

Wang Yan turned to look at Yu Taichu, "Is there any news from Jin Yiwei recently?"

Yu Taichu replied: "The Kingdom of Jin has been very heavily guarded recently. Chang'an City and all the passes can only be entered. In the past month or so, there has been little news from Chang'an. However, there were indeed signs of mobilization of the troops stationed by the Kingdom of Jin not long ago."

It is necessary to strengthen the control of all parties during wartime, but Jin Guo blocked the roads and closed the city, and the atmosphere of conspiracy became stronger.

Wang Yan frowned, "What's the sign?"

"The scouts in Chang'an City saw from the restaurants in the city that the camps outside the city seemed to be half empty, but the scouts thought they were sent to various gates with the civilians to help defend, so they didn't make a special report." Yu Taichu thought about it for a while. , report with clasped fists.

The troops stationed in the Kingdom of Jin, the Ming Dynasty did not regard them as an army, but only as civilian husbands and village braves.

"It was empty more than a month ago?" Wang Yan stroked his beard, turned around and asked Li Guo, "Did Tongguan capture many troops?"

Li Guo shook his head, "There are not many prisoners, only three or four thousand."

"Then where are they going?" Wang Yan frowned slightly.
