Chapter 1,240 Discussing Countermeasures

Jiang Shan is not surprised at all that the King of the Remainers was able to get the news that the Tang Army sent troops to Hedong. After all, Dingyang is close to Hedong. It would be really strange if the King of the Remainers did not always pay attention to the movements of the soldiers and horses in Hedong. .

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan said: "Go back and tell your general. I have some ideas here, but whether they are suitable specifically, I have to ask your general to come and discuss it. By the way, tell your general, I will send someone right away. General Ning Yuan, who went to invite Diao Yin, also came together, and the three of us discussed the countermeasures carefully. "

The general was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly bowed and bowed, then turned and left.

Seeing him leaving, Jiang Shan said: "Jiang Jian, immediately send someone to Diaoyin and ask General Xiongba to come to Fushi as soon as possible. He said that he wants to discuss the attack of the Tang army."

After Jiang Jian left, Jiang Shan turned his attention to Fazheng again and said, "Please give me your guidance on how to act specifically!"

Fazheng shook his head and said: "This matter is not urgent. We don't have any information about the size of the Tang army's troops and who will lead them. We cannot make decisions easily. However, the general can make some arrangements in advance. One of them is It means mobilizing troops and horses. Since the Tang army is attacking in a large scale, it will definitely not be a small fight. The general must mobilize some troops and horses back to the Great Wall in advance. In my opinion, the general should control the battlefield in the southern cities. "

With that said, Fazheng walked to the map, pointed to the three cities of Gaonu, Dingyang and Diaoyin in the south of Shangjun and said: "General, please see, the most likely way for the Tang army to send troops this time is to cross over from Hejin or Caisangjin. River. No matter which place it is, it must not be the city under the general's control."

Having said this, Fa Zheng pressed his hands on the locations of Dingyang and Diaoyin cities, and continued to tell Jiang Shan his inference.

In Fazheng's view, the Tang army's strategy was nothing more than to first occupy a city in the south, and then advance step by step to gradually occupy the cities. No matter where they cross the river, the first two allies are responsible for the task. Because the terrain of Shangjun is so unique, the Tang army has almost no way to bypass the two cities and attack Gaonu behind, let alone go further north. applied to the skin.

However, in Fazheng's view, no matter where the Tang army crossed the river, the most likely possibility was to attack Dingyang first. Therefore, what Jiangshan has to do is to transfer elite soldiers and horses to Gaonu to assist the remaining two men, King Xiongba and Xiongba, to stop the Tang army. The advantage of this is that the Jiangshan Army will lose some soldiers and horses at most, but the territory of the four cities and one pass will not be affected. As time goes by, the Tang Army will definitely withdraw from Shangjun after its losses gradually increase. Therefore, Fazheng suggested that Jiangshan immediately mobilize troops and go directly south to Gaonu to discuss the final war arrangements with the two allies.

At Fa Zheng's suggestion, Jiang Shan quickly made a decision and left two thousand county soldiers and one thousand soldiers in each of Qiuci, Yuanyin and Yulin Pass to defend the city. At the same time, in order to shock the aliens outside the Great Wall, he They also deliberately left a thousand Huns cavalry in Qiuci. And in his base camp, Fushi City,

He even left two thousand county soldiers and two thousand combat soldiers, plus one thousand ordinary cavalry, for a total of five thousand soldiers and horses to defend, and handed over these three cities and one pass to his most trusted general, Jiang Jian.

He himself led the remaining 5,000 soldiers and 8,000 cavalry south to Gaonu, joined the 2,000 county soldiers in Gaonu City, and resisted the Tang army together with the 18,000 troops of the remaining king and Xiongba.

If an ordinary player controls the territory and has a territory of 180,000 people, it will be very difficult to raise 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry for a total of 30,000 troops. But Jiangshan was different. When he left Hedong, Jiangshan took away a lot of materials and money, so for him, 30,000 troops were not very difficult.

Now that the Tang army is coming to attack, the existing troops are definitely not enough. So before leaving, Jiang Shan ordered Jiang Jian to recruit another 5,000 infantry. At Fa Zheng's suggestion, he transferred the commandery from Fushi. One thousand national soldiers and one thousand newly recruited soldiers were stationed in a town called Qiaomen between Gaonu and Fushi.

Qiaomen Town is located between Fushi and Gaonu, less than 200 miles away from the two cities, but it is at a critical location between the two cities and is on the most convenient thoroughfare between the two cities. If Gao Nu made a mistake and the Tang army continued to move north, then Qiaomen Town would be the most important place.

After hearing Fazheng's arrangement, Jiang Shan couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Military advisor, if I upgrade Qiaomen Town to the county level, what do you think?"

Fazheng shook his head: "It's not necessary. Now Qiaomen is already a middle town. If it wants to be upgraded to the county level, it will need a population of 20,000. The population is easy to solve, but the city can be built in three or two months. Besides, if If you upgrade to a county town and the supporting defense facilities cannot be built well, just two thousand soldiers and horses will not be able to defend it. It is better to upgrade it to the level of a large town. "

"This general is being reckless, just do what the military advisor says!"

Two days later, Jiang Shan led Fazheng and Liu Bao first and led 8,000 cavalry to Gaonu City. Five thousand soldiers, led by Jiang Jian, accompanied by thousands of civilian craftsmen and a large amount of food and grass arrived later.

The day after Jiang Shan arrived at Gaonu, the Remaining King and Xiongba led hundreds of soldiers to Gaonu City. The three of them quickly discussed the countermeasures in the county government office. .

Inside the county government, both Shengzheweiwang and Xiongba looked hopeless. They were both very depressed. They had fought with Huangfu Chaobo for several years, and were driven from Hongnong to Guanzhong by Huangfu Chaobo. Then they ran to Hedong, but were driven out of Hedong again by Huangfu Chaobo. Finally, they ran to Shangjun. As a result, they had to face Huangfu Chaobo's attack again within a few years.

If I had known earlier, I might as well have been the county magistrate honestly. Maybe I would have lived a much more carefree life now. But now that the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back. There is no possibility of reconciliation between me and Huangfu Chaobo. Now I can only bite the bullet.

"You two, we are already in a situation of life and death with Huangfu Chaobo, so don't have any other ideas, just think about how to deal with it. Besides, we are not going to let him manipulate us now. This time I brought 5,000 combat soldiers and 8,000 cavalry, plus Gao Nu's 2,000 county soldiers, a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses. Add to that the nearly 20,000 troops of the two of you, there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 troops. If Huangfu Chaobo wants to swallow us in one bite, we have to see if he has such a good mouth." Jiangshan also saw that the two were in a bad mood, so he persuaded them;
