Chapter 423 Deng Fan’s little thoughts
At this moment, the Han army had two choices: attack Linjin first or block Tongguan first.
In this regard, Ma Su made his choice as always, I want them all!
Ma Su made a decision directly and personally led thousands of troops to cross the Wei River south to Weinan to intercept the main force of the Wei army. However, Zhang He, Zhang Yi, Deng Fan and others led their forces in Weibei and attacked Linjin with all their strength, completely driving the Wei army out of Weibei.
This military decision cannot be said to be risky, it can only be said to be seeking death! Especially with Ma Su's deployment, he will cross the Wei River under the eyes of the Wei army, march his troops to the gates of Huayin City, and be no more than ten miles away from the Wei army's vanguard.
Under this situation, as long as the Wei army had the intention to attack, it would be able to block the entrance of Ma Di's camp in less than half an hour. Even if Ma Su can fight again, how long can he survive facing an enemy ten times his own?
You must know that Weinan is densely covered with mountain roads and the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. Ma Di's best cavalry combat cannot be used at all. And everyone who knows Ma Su knows that once a cavalry general engages in an infantry battle, it is very easy to have an accident.
Not to mention Zhang He, even Shu Ji, who had followed Ma Su all year round, was hesitant. He had watched the entire Weinan battle, and General Shenwei was almost killed by Wang Shuang alone.
But obviously, if Ma Su changes his mind after being persuaded, then he is no longer Ma Su. When most of the generals disagreed, Ma Su directly made the decision,
"It's settled. For the great cause of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, this little risk is acceptable." Ma Di waved his hand, glanced at the generals, and said calmly.
"Don't worry even if I die in battle. You can prepare a white cloth to mourn me, but there is no need to rush to avenge me. At that time, the three armies will hold the banner of the Han Dynasty and continue to attack the puppet Wei Dynasty. They will support the Han Dynasty until death!" "
"After all, in front of Sheji, what does my personal safety mean?"
"So I have made up my mind! Don't dissuade me!"
After saying that, Ma Su turned around and left without saying a word, as always, not giving others a chance to remonstrate. After he left, the military tent quickly fell into a deathly silence.
"I knew earlier that I should have asked the Prime Minister to hire another supervisor, and he came with the Prime Minister's warrant." Zhang Yi was the first to speak, and said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face,
"If we had the Prime Minister's order, we might be able to persuade the general!"
"You blame me too. I knew Ma Di's character a long time ago, so I should have directly advised him to attack Linjin with all his strength." Zhang He also smiled bitterly, waving his hands and blaming himself.
If he hadn't mentioned this matter in this way, he could only advise Ma Di to attack Linjin, and Ma Di might not make such a risky decision. As a result, now that the words were spoken, Ma Su had to fight for Sheji, which made Zhang He feel that he had said the wrong thing.
"If you don't tell me, General Shenwei can't see it himself?" Shu Ji shook his head and said,
"The general has always been like this, and no one can dissuade him."
"I...I think...the general's move must...have a profound meaning!"
But at this time, Deng Fan suddenly stood up and raised different objections again.
"Why do you see it?" Deng Fan's words immediately aroused everyone's interest, and Shu Ji handed Deng Fan a stack of Longyou paper with great discernment.
Deng Fan nodded, took the paper Shu Ji gave him, and started writing on the spot.
"The general's move is indeed risky, but it is not unprepared. Obviously the general hopes that we can quickly end the war in Weibei, so that instead of coordinating in Weinan, we can contain the offensive of the Wei army in Kwantung."
After writing this, Deng Fan pointed to the deployment given by Ma Di. Not only did he lead thousands of elite troops across the Wei River, but the thousands of soldiers who responded to him in the north of Weiwei were also top priority.
"With the general's talent, even if it is a bluff and the Wei army detects it, a thousand elite soldiers can be enough to drag the reinforcements from Weibei to arrive. And with the general's reputation, setting up camp in Weinan is enough to delay the Wei army for a long time."
"During this period, we only need to follow the general's deployment and quickly push the front across the Yellow River and attack Pubanjin."
"Invade Pubanjin? The general didn't seem to have such a plan just now, right?" Zhang Yi was stunned, then turned around and looked at Ma Di's plan again. He repeatedly confirmed that Ma Su only asked them to attack Linjin head-on and did not give any other instructions.
"The general has given you a hint, but you haven't paid attention to it." Deng Fan waved his hand and began to lie.
"I will make the deployment when the time comes. Just follow the general's strategy. I'm sure we can capture Pubanjin and push the front to Hebei."
"Once our troops enter Pubanjin and the general's feint attack on the front, the hesitant Wei army will definitely retreat northward to Baoqin Pass. In this way, the puppet Wei's Kwantung reinforcements will be completely blocked from the pass, and the victory of the Northern Expedition will be , you can get it at your fingertips!"
Deng Fan's theory successfully convinced Zhang He and Zhang Yi, and they all nodded in agreement with Deng Fan's proposal. Only Shu Ji gave Deng Fan a slightly meaningful look, as if he had read through his mind.
But he said nothing, just remained silent about it.
Without Ma Su's complete knowledge, the generals under his command finalized the strategy plan for Weibei.
On the eastern battlefield of the Guanzhong War, the most intense Battle of Tongguan began.
…………
…………
…………
In October of the twelfth year of Jianxing, the chariot and cavalry general Ma Su led thousands of selected elite troops to cross Weinan from Xiagui and entered the Weinan battlefield.
Zhang Yi also led four thousand troops to camp in Weibei, ready to support Ma Su at any time.
In addition, the Han army in Weibei quickly gathered and began to forcefully cross the Fen River, launching a strong attack on the Wei army on the front line of Jin.
At the same time, on the Tongguan front line, Cao Wei's Guandong reinforcements were gradually gathering. Under the command of General Cao Weiwei and Weiwei Xinpi, the Wei army assembled at Tongguan had reached 30,000 people.
However, because the scouts detected that the main force of the Han army was in Weibei, and Ma Di, the famous general of Western Shu, had already defeated Xiao Pass and returned to Chongquan. Due to Ma Su's reputation, Simpi has been hesitant and has been reluctant to move forward.
"General Xin, the Han army in Weibei has launched an offensive against Linjin. Xuanbo cannot resist it and asks us for assistance." When Xinpi was hesitant, the accompanying general Wang Ji suddenly walked in and reported to him urgently. road.
"Ma Di took action against Linjin? So his target was Feng Yijun and not me?" When Xin Pi heard the news, his first reaction was overjoyed.
What he was afraid of now was Ma Su himself. He was afraid that he would lead his troops west out of Tongguan and be blocked on the mountain road by Ma Su leading his troops before they reached Chang'an.
But now, the main force of the Han army has taken action against Linjin, which means that Ma Su plans to attack Chen Tai first.
If you slap Chen Tai first, you can't slap me, so I'll take the first step.
However, just when Xinpi was happy to lead troops to support Chang'an, the defenders of Huayin urgently sent him a battle report.
"General! Emergency!"
