Duan Shao didn't continue talking, and Gao Yang didn't urge the other party to continue talking. The two of them were like an adulterer to a rich woman. With just one look, they understood what the other party wanted to say but didn't say.

Gao Yang could see that Duan Shao was plotting his position in Wei Guoxin's new structure after Gao Huan was gone!

An obvious fact is that most of Duan Shao's cronies are in Jinzhou, and a small part is in Yecheng, and they did not follow Gao Huan to the south.And Baibao Xianbei, which Gao Yang was training, did not follow Gao Huan to the south.

Most of their trusted generals did not follow Gao Huan.So Duan Shao turned to Gao Yang because of his interests. At the same time, he also gave up on Gao Huan and put his hope on his son Gao Yang.

If Gao Huan dies in Henan this time, or cannot return, Gao Yang can still rely on Lou's status and connections to transfer part of the power to Lou Zhaojun, and he will be able to stabilize the basic situation.

At that time, the whole team will defeat Liang Jun's pursuers and retreat to Hebei.Of course, this is the worst case scenario.

In this wave of forces following Gao Huan's southward movement, there are many people who are at odds with Gao Yang, that is, those who do not belong to the part of Lou's win over, and even include the Hulu Department, which is already in a "semi-independent" state.

Their killing may be an absolute bad thing for the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but for Gao Yang and Duan Shao, it may not be the case, at least not entirely a bad thing.

It seems to cut meat, but actually lose weight.

"So, are we going to stand still now?"

Gao Yang asked with doubts, it seems that it is not good to do nothing now.

"The son can use the name of military training to let Baibao Xianbei, including the group of people who have just been selected, go to Hulao for training. This is the son's own trilogy, which can be directed without the order of King Gao, and no one else can." what to blame.

For other things, we can only take one step at a time.Once it is known that Gao Wang is in danger in Henan, he can use this as an excuse to take over the military power in Yecheng and transfer the Jinzhou trilogy back to Hebei!At that time, the last general will lead his troops to garrison Fangtou to prevent the Liang army from crossing the Yellow River! "

Duan Shao talked for a long time, but didn't mention a single word about the rescue of those 5 people!

Perhaps, he really didn't really want Gao Huan to come back.

"The matter of food and grass supply..."

Gao Yang was still a little hesitant. If he was not in Yecheng, it would definitely affect the operation of food and grass.

"The last general has now been relieved of his military power by King Gao, so he can't lead the army. He can only wait for King Gao to have something to do, and then he can take charge of the army under the pretext of rushing to power. If I lead Baibao Xianbei to Hulao Pass, I will inevitably fall into the trap. Your Majesty You can only lead the troops to Hulao Pass by yourself, and it is impossible to change others.

Sun Teng has a gap in his chest, the son can discuss this matter with him, I believe he will understand. "

Duan Shao quietly suggested.

"Understood." Gao Yang said with a slight nod. Everything was said without saying anything. There are many things that need not be said among smart people.

……

Outside the city of Changshe, a team of rangers, led by Hu Luguang, came back from Yanling, south of Changshe, to investigate.Gao Huan personally came to greet him at the gate of the city, which can be said to have given Hulu enough face.

It's just that Gao Huan noticed that Hu Luguang was frowning.

"Mingyue (hu luguang's name) went south to investigate this time, but did he find anything?"

Gao Huan asked with a smile, apparently in a good mood.Since the announcement of the "Division of Territory" news, the morale of the army has risen rapidly, and the spirit of the entire army has taken on a new look, and the fighting spirit is high!

"Back to King Gao, something is wrong. Although there are defenders in Yanling City, no one can be seen in the villages to the south, let alone food. Moreover, these villages have only recently been abandoned. Maybe it was Liang Jun who drove them away."

Hu Luguang said in a deep voice.

Gao Huan's face darkened, thinking that Liu Yishou had shamelessly abducted all the population of Henan that could be robbed, and Henan's vitality has not fully recovered in these years.Although it does not mean that there is no one in the village, it is still sparsely populated, and there are not many ghosts to be seen on weekdays.

"Then what do you think?"

Gao Huan asked calmly.

"The last general thinks that Liang Jun is deliberately fortifying the wall and clearing the country, and the picture is not small. It is better for the army to return to Xingyang and make a long-term plan."

Hu Luguang said very bluntly.

He is a member of the Hulu Department and is now rooted in Youzhou.His trilogy also changed from nomadic to farming, and his family members are also in Youzhou.Therefore, these people, including Hu Luguang, have no interest in Gao Huan's suggestion of dividing the land.Youzhou has a vast land and few people, and most of them are land, so they don't worry about these at all.

Hu Luguang's standpoint is quite different from the standpoint of the generals in the army now. On weekdays, he also leads the cavalry alone and does not communicate with other generals.

"It's been hard to go south for investigation this time, go and rest."

Gao Huan said to Hu Luguang with a stiff smile.

"Well, the last general will go to settle down the soldiers and horses."

Hu Luguang bowed to Gao Huan, not understanding why Gao Huan was so resistant to withdrawing to Xingyang.

He didn't care that much, he took the cavalry back to the camp directly, and stopped thinking about those disturbing things.

Chapter 606

Xuanhu City is very magnificent, surrounded by water on three sides naturally.

It's just that after the moat freezes in winter, the outside of the city is like walking on the ground. It looks like an isolated building standing on the plain, which looks a little sad and desolate.

This day happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Liu Yishou led the generals to play outside the city. The name was to appreciate the snow, but in fact they carefully surveyed the terrain.

But when everyone saw the endless flatness to the north of Xuanhu, there was no danger at all, they couldn't help but feel tense.

"Xuanhu relies entirely on this Ru River. Winter is like walking on flat ground, and horses can run on the ice. If Gao Huan is brave enough, and a surprise army goes through day and night to attack Xuanhu, I'm afraid we will all be captured by him.

Now is the time when he has the greatest chance of winning by sending troops. The further he delays, the less likely he is to escape. "

Liu Yishou looked at Bei Mian and said with emotion, he felt that Gao Huan was still a head behind, and his ability to execute tactics was not good enough.If Er Zhurong led troops, Liu Yishou would not dare to sit in Xuanhu City himself, if he was captured by the other party, it would be a great joy.

Hearing what Liu Yishou said, Yu Jin and the others looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this.

What Liu Yishou said cannot be said to be complete nonsense.It's just that the truth is the truth, but does Gao Huan have the courage?

Maybe, maybe not, but Gao Huan's generals will definitely persuade him.No one will use this kind of style of play that cares about the head and the tail, unless it is at the end of the day.

At the beginning of Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, if we looked at it from the perspective of the general environment, it was almost dangerous. Ten out of ten went and nine and a half could not come back.However, Chen Qingzhi used "fast to attack slow" and a quick and unexpected attack method to defeat the opponent's overwhelmingly superior forces one by one before the Wei army was encircled.

If Chen Qingzhi had used his troops carefully, Suiyang might have been completely cold at the first stop.

"Rashness" is not necessarily disadvantageous, and caution may not always be beneficial. War is an art, and nothing is impossible.All the rhetoric and excuses are bullshit.

Those resourceful people, veterans on the battlefield who say what to do and what not to do, may be slapped in the face afterwards.

Only victory comes first, without a doubt.

The generals heard what Liu Yishou said, and they felt that if he and Gao Huan switched, maybe this guy would really dare to attack Xuanhu from Changshe to break the situation.

"Gao Huan marches. In the first battle, he must first attack Ruyang, which is east of Qiluo City, and seize control of Weishui. Who will defend Ruyang City?"

Liu Yishou asked casually as he walked, stepping on the thick snow, leaving deep footprints one after another on the white ground.

It would certainly not be a good feeling to be attacked by the main force of Gao Huan's army.For a while, Yu Jin and others remained silent, waiting for Liu Yishou's next words.

"My lord, guard Ruyang in the future."

Dugu Xin clasped his hands and said that in a few years his son Dugu Luo will marry the eldest daughter of Liu Yishou and Xiao Yuping. Obviously, he needs to stand up more than Yu Jin and others.

"General Zhao, why don't you come here?"

Liu Yishou ignored Dugu Xin, but turned around and said to Zhao Gui.

"The last general..."

Zhao Gui didn't know what to say for a while.This is a war, I thought it was playing a game, otherwise people will die!

"General Zhao only needs to guard Ruyang for one day, and the next day he can retreat to Nandun City, the prefecture of Nandun County, for repairs (Nandun Town, Xiangcheng, Henan). General Dugu will meet your troops there."

Liu Yishou added another sentence.

Nanton is the node of the next line of defense, and it is not related to the overall situation. If it is defeated, there is no way to break through Henan, and it will eventually go around to Xuanhu.

Its south is a plain, but because of the lack of water conservancy projects, it presents a large wasteland. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it has been sparsely populated, and it is far away from the county, with no water or land.

It was not until Xincai in the south that it formed the third line of defense together with Xuanhu City in the west.

After the third line of defense, further south is the Dabie Mountains. Beiyiyang County (Xinyang), which guards the gap, has always been Liang Guo's private land, and the defense is very solid.

Even if Gao Huanjun came with a tank, he couldn't get in here!

Therefore, Beiyiyang County is the limit that Gao Huan's army can advance. Even if Liang Jun collapses, local county soldiers can still hold here.Therefore, the "chessboard" where the two armies confront each other in this battle is the vast area from the north of the Dabie Mountains where Beiyiyang County is located to the south of the Yellow River.

Liu Yishou's meaning was very clear. Zhao Gui would be safe if he retreated to Nandun. Gao Huan could not have made great efforts to attack Nandun. Hit Qiluo City.

If you continue to go south along the Weishui River to Nandun, Liang Jun in Qiluo City is not blind. As long as you send troops to Ruyang to copy the back road, Gao Huanjun will be directly made dumplings!If there is such a day, Liu Yishou will wake up laughing when he falls asleep.

No matter how you look at it, Gao Huan would not be so stupid.

"Decree!" Zhao Gui cupped his hands and said, although he didn't understand why, it seemed that Liu Yishou wasn't trying to trick him, so that's fine.

"Remember to bring less elite soldiers. When you run, you should throw all your belongings and belongings into the city, even the armor and weapons you wear. In a word, only defeat is not allowed to win!

There are boats in the sluice of Ruyang City, don't burn any of them, except those for escape, leave the rest to Gao Huan.

Don't burn anything in the treasury, and give everything to Gao Huan, including grain and grass. "

After Liu Yishou finished speaking without panting, Yu Jin and others looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what kind of trick he was trying to play this time.

"My lord, if this is the case, isn't it supporting the enemy?"

Zhao Gui asked suspiciously, it is not difficult to make him lose the battle, but this kind of operation with no bottom line is a bit incomprehensible.

"Starting today, we will transport most of the food and grass from the front line to the rear south of Xuanhu in advance. After Gao Huan conquers our city, he will check the treasury and find that there is not enough food and grass. He thinks that our army will soon run out of food.

However, the other things in the treasury can be left to Gao Huan. Anyway, they are only temporarily kept by them. "

Liu Yishou had an indifferent attitude.

"What if Gao Huan insists on attacking Nandun?"

Duguxin asked a key question, Yu Jin and the others nodded slightly, they were also concerned about this question.

"If there is such a day, prepare for the battle of Ruyang. We will wipe out the soldiers and horses of Gao Huan's army in the narrow area between Ruyang and Nandun. There is no land route in such a small place, and the water route is our navy. In lockdown, I see how they struggle."

Liu Yishou sneered.

At that time, Liang Jun's navy will block Weishui, and there will be no roads south of Nandun. It will be wasteland.

This battle looks like a lot of roads, but after defeating Ruyang, the only way Gao Huan can go is to attack Qiluo City.Only when Qiluo City is opened up can Gao Huan's army's transportation routes be activated.

Although there is no lack of whimsical moves in marching and fighting, there are even examples of surprise and turning defeat into victory.But under normal circumstances, we still have to talk about the Basic Law.

The waterway is blocked, and the place where the land is impassable is a Jedi, and there is nothing to say.Together with Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui's trilogy, they will definitely be able to hold Nandun for a period of time.

As long as it's not intentional, it's more than enough for Liang Jun's other parts to encircle Gao Huan.

"General Yu, you come to defend Qiluo City. The navy from Shouyang is Wu Mingche's department, and they will guarantee your retreat. You drag Gao Huan, but don't fight back.

Qiluo City is relatively strong. If you feel that there is no pressure to defend the city, then let Wu Mingche's navy transport troops from Qiluo City to the rear every day, and withdraw a little bit every day, creating the illusion that our army cannot support it.

In the end, Qiluo City was also handed over to Gao Huan, just like Ruyang.Leave a little food and grass in the treasury to make Gao Huan feel that we are short of food.Wu Mingche's navy will avoid fighting Gao Huan's army, and will not cut off their water supply for the time being, so you can only rely on yourself to defend the city.

Hold on for at least half a month!

After withdrawing from Qiluo City, you must not return to Xuanhu, and first garrison Quyang City, where Dishui and Rushui meet, to resist Gao Huan's army going south.Wu Mingche's navy will ensure that you can retreat safely.

If Gao Huan's army blocks them, they will be able to rescue you. "

Yu Jin understood that Liu Yishou wanted to fight Gao Huan with one hand tied on purpose, to show the enemy his weakness.Obviously the water army is very strong, and there are firearms to help, but they deliberately don't use it, and try to avoid contact with Gao Huan's army.

In this way, Gao Huan's army's food roads will be completely unblocked, even if this unblocking is temporary and false.

This is like the kind of coin cancer that doesn't hurt or itch. You don't notice it when it's lurking, but it will kill you when it strikes. It's hard to guard against.

If Liang Jun didn't attack Wei Jun's grain road, Gao Huan would subconsciously think that the grain road was safe. This is just the habitual thinking of ordinary people.

"The last general took the order, but... the three of us, including the five hundred elites brought by the lord, can only withstand Gao Huan. If you want to encircle Gao Huan's 5 horses, how much do you need?" To fight for aid, the general will find it difficult."

Yu Jin said with a sigh, pointing out the biggest loophole in Liu Yishou's ingenious plan: insufficient troops!

The current routine is nothing more than "luting the enemy to go deeper".Just to achieve this step, the plan to wipe out the enemy is only half completed.Luring the enemy is just a means, and annihilating the enemy is the ultimate goal!

"This time, everyone in Liang Guo who can fight will participate, but it takes time to deploy troops. I am not worried about losing, but I am afraid that Gao Huan will run away. Therefore, the heat is very important. We must not let Gao Huan think that we are strong. It is necessary to give up the first line of Qiluo City.

As soon as he got to the city of Xuanhu, even if Gao Huan wanted to run, he couldn't. "

It's such a big game!

Yu Jin and the others were stunned. Liu Yishou had never said this before.

"My lord, what should we do if Xiang County, the prefecture of Chen County to the east of Nandun, is attacked by Gao Huan's army?"

Dugu Xin asked doubtfully.The probability of this kind of thing is not high, but you can't say that you are only allowed to go by water, and Gao Huan's men are not allowed to go by water, right?

"Wu Mingche's navy can transfer Peng Le, She Dichang and others stationed in Shouyang, as well as their [-] elite soldiers, to Xiang County. When the time comes, it will be up to the odds to fight against the odds."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Xiang County and Shouyang are connected by the same river, that is, Yingshui. It is really not too fast to transport troops and food by boat.

Yu Jin, Duguxin, Zhao Gui and others suddenly realized that they finally understood why Liu Yishou said before that when the snow is freezing, Gao Huan's army's raid on Xuanhu seems to be the most dangerous, but the chance of winning is the greatest.
