Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In March of the second year of Xiande, the Guo Shao Department of the Tiger Jie Army and the Xiang Xun Department of the Zhen'an Army arrived in Fengxiang one after another. Perhaps because the imperial army participated in sufficient checks and balances for Wang Jing, the Xiangxun Department only had 2,000 infantry troops, and the army reached about 8,000 troops in Guanzhong; Wang Jing mobilized 15 troops in Fengxiang Town to command. A total of 16,000 troops were mobilized for the attack on Shu; in addition, 30,000 civilians were recruited from near Zuozhou County.

The attack on Shu was undeclared, so Wang Jing did not claim to threaten Shu with one hundred and two hundred thousand.

The four met first in Fengxiang Mansion, the main commander Wang Jing, the two lieutenants, and the provincial envoy. Guo Shao and Xiang Xun had a good relationship for a long time, and they also knew each other on the march. They visited Wang Jing twice in Guanzhong last year, and he knew everyone. However, Wang Jing and Xiang Xun are not very familiar with the civilian officials of the Hakka Province; this civilian is in charge of diplomacy, but he must participate in every military opportunity negotiation related to combat preparation.

Guo Shao was too late to see Luo Yanhuan, who was left behind by Chen Cang, and first discussed military affairs with the generals in Fengxiang.

Wang Jing sat in the upper position, he was a sixty-six-year-old man, so Guo Shao couldn't help thinking of Huang Zhong. However, I heard that Wang Jing had been a bandit before, and he joined the army during the Liang Dynasty. It can be said that he has witnessed the change of the entire Five Dynasties.

Such an old man in charge must have a wealth of experience and knowledge, but Guo Shao inevitably thinks of Fu Yanqing during the Jinyang campaign, and hopes that the old general Wang is not too confused, so he can do it.

Wang Jing didn’t have much air, and he said with a smile: “The Kingdom of Shu already knew that I was going to use force. At the beginning of the year, he sent Prime Minister Wang Zhaoyuan to Qin and Feng to deploy troops... Our reinforcements from Tokyo and Zhen’an went fast and came. It’s early, but there is not enough food for civilians and military rations. I’m afraid we will have to wait a while before we can start. How to attack? What are your opinions? Let’s listen."

Xiang Xun turned his head to look at Guo Shao with interest. Guo Shao said hurriedly: "General Xiang has been in battle for a long time, and he must have experience."

Xiang Xun said: "I heard that Guo Dushi visited Guanzhong last year and visited the princes and patrolled all over the place. Why don't I wait to listen to Guo Dushi's advice first?"

Wang Jingjing said: "What Xiangjieshuai said is extremely true."

Everyone ignored the visitor and provincial envoys, they were not familiar with each other, and they were also civil officials... However, Guo Shao politely paid his respects to the provincial envoys first, and then said: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than fate. I will put forward some thoughts for the Prince's reference."

Now that Xiang Xun mentioned the blueprint, Guo Shao didn’t hide it, just laid it out on the table, and said, “Let’s fight Qin and Feng, but Qinzhou is too far away. The state can solve the problem, and Qinzhou only needs to use a partial division to pretend to attack and contain... As long as Fengzhou in the south is controlled, the road of the Shu army to Qinzhou can be blocked, and Qinzhou will be isolated and helpless. ."

Guo Shao paused, and seeing that everyone had no objection, he continued: "The best way to attack Fengzhou is to march along Chencang Road. The most important thing is to make a quick battle and make your way south. If it is blocked and delayed, the road inconvenience is small. Both the army and the transportation of food are extremely inconvenient."

Wang Jingjing said, "It was just what I wanted. (Later) The Tang army attacked King Yan of Shu and went directly south from Chencang Road. We only need to follow the road of Tang Jun... But Wang Yan was faint and lacking preparation; now the Kingdom of Shu Although I didn't know the soldiers for decades, I was prepared and continued to increase troops to Erzhou. The old man expects that we will not be as smooth as Tang Jun."

Guo Shao hurriedly said, "The prince should be prepared for the rainy day, and ask the final general to wait for admiration... The final general still has some considerations, I don't know if it is not appropriate to talk?"

Wang Jing said, "But it doesn't matter."

Guo Shao knows that although he is a general of the Forbidden Army, he is the youngest and the most junior here, so he consciously maintains a humble attitude between his words, but at the same time he also wants to make a difference and make the war go smoothly, so he immediately took out A few pieces of paper came and offered with both hands: "This is the battle plan that the last general has been contemplating recently. Please look at it."

Wang Jing took it and frowned slightly, because although the characters were written in neat italics, they were ugly, and there were many sentence breaks, for fear that others would not be able to read and break sentences.

Guo Shao continued: "The first-tier defense hub of the Shu Army is in Mighty City, and there are eight military villages in front of them. The eight military villages are blocked on the Shu Road. Cheng...The final general thought that the more we wait, the more prepared the Shu army will be; now that we are not fully prepared, the Shu army is also in a hurry. It is better to make a quick battle, first push down the front army village and try the mighty city; if you can do it early Conquering the mighty city, it is very possible to seize the grain and grass that the enemy had hoarded in the early stage, and it is more cost-effective to feed the war through war than to transport grain from the Shu Road."

Wang Jing glanced at Xiang Xun, and said: "Guo Dushi's method is a bit anxious, and he is also very adventurous.

Guo Shao was a little forgetful for a moment, and immediately replied: "There are eight military villages in front of the mighty city, and the supply must depend on the nearby mighty city. There will be surplus grain in the city. As long as the food is taken in one go, the grain can keep our army moving forward."

Seeing Wang Jing’s silence, Guo Shao was young and vigorous after all~www.readwn.com~ without paying attention, he left his previous humility behind, and gradually showed his sharp edge, and said anxiously: “The prince only needs to supply my food for ten days. The upper army carried three-day supplies, and I won the mighty city and other places within half a month, pushing Fengzhou to not consume food from the rear."

Wang Jing immediately opened his squinted old eyes: "There is no joke in the army!"

Guo Shao straightened his back and said: "If the goal cannot be achieved for half a month, our main force will immediately retreat and appeal to the court!"

At this moment, Xiang Xun hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I will ask the prince for instructions, and my ministry will also leave the customs and move towards Qinzhou to monitor the movement in the west."

After listening to Guo Shao's heart, he was moved. Xiang Xun is in the same way with himself, so he must remember that there is a favor!

Wang Jing said: "It's so good, so I took Guo Dushi as the forward and left the pass first. Guo Dushi remembered that Fengxiang can only provide ten days of food and grass; if the Tigers are trapped in Qinling, more than 6,000 people will be consumed. Relying on the Shu Road transportation, the current situation of Fengxiang Town cannot afford it."

Guo Shao stood up and clasped his fists to salute the army: "The last commander will get the order! Our department will rest for two days, first stationed in Chencang, a few days later, ready for military supplies, and then leave.

Wang Jing said: "Very good. The old man will send scouts to pay attention to the movement of Qinzhou and other places, and send people to contact Guo Duzhi at any time."

Wang Jing didn't even look at Guo Shao's battle plan, and everyone gathered to talk about it and decided on the spot.

Guo Shao was full of confidence at this time. He was very familiar with the Tiger Jie army, which was all well-trained soldiers on the battlefield... But the Shu army hadn't fought in 20 or 30 years, and the group of people in the past was probably old and dead. Guo Shao didn't believe in evil anymore, and such a Shu army could block Zhou's elite.

He has seen those generals who have brought soldiers and fought, but that's all... Many things depend on the generals, and the generals only need to make decisions. I just felt that even if I commanded the battle for the first time, I shouldn't be far behind.
