marquis of jingan

Chapter 1059

To the northeast of Teng County, there is a mountain that stretches for more than 40 miles, named Lianqing Mountain.

This place is not far from Yanzhou Prefecture and is in the middle of Teng County without Yanzhou Prefecture.

Shen Yi's Chinese army guard camp was set up at the foot of Lianqing Mountain.

Shen Yi himself had just settled in the Lianqingshan camp for a day, and before he had time to adapt to the life in the military camp he had been away for a long time, people rushed to the Lianqingshan camp one after another.

The one who came the fastest was Su Ding who was the closest.

However, because they were notified in advance, the other two main generals were not too late, and they basically arrived at Lianqing Mountain.

After the three generals arrived, they came to Shen Yi's tent together and met Shen Yi.

In Master Shen's handsome tent, a map was already hanging high. He waved his hands at the three people, signaling them not to be too polite, then found a tree branch that was broken down by the roadside, pointed it on the map, and said indifferently: "This one Over the past month, the three of you have done very well, and basically realized the arrangement I made a month ago."

Shen Yi pointed to Yanzhou on the map, and said in a deep voice, "Yanzhou Prefecture, although we haven't surrounded it yet, the encirclement has already begun."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xue Wei and asked: "General Xue, you are the first to move, and you have already surrounded Yizhou. How is the situation in Yizhou?"

Xue Wei took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, it's not easy to fight."

He said silently: "Although Yizhou is only a state city, the city wall is complete, and this time, the Qi people's southern conquest army has placed about 5000 people to guard Yizhou, and will eventually attack tentatively near Yizhou. For half a month, Yizhou's defenders are still defending the city, and there is no sign of leaving the city."

"The last general tried to attack for three or four rounds."

He looked at Shen Yi, and said: "It is effective, but the effect is not so obvious. The general thought that if he wanted to take Yizhou, he would either send more troops to surround Yizhou, or..."

"It can only be forced to attack hard."

Master Shen touched his chin and said, "If it's the latter, how long will it take you to take Yizhou?"

Xue Wei thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Two months!"

"Within two months, the general will definitely win Yizhou!"

Shen Yi didn't speak, but looked at the other two people.

Su Ding also took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, the main force of the left army where the last general is located is near Fei County. It can completely block any support from Yanzhou Prefecture. Give General Xue two months, absolutely no problem."

Ling Su also clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, the Right Route Army was planning to seize Jining Prefecture. If General Xue wants to fight a tough battle, the Right Route Army's actions will be temporarily suspended. They will also cover for the vanguard army and cut off the Dongping Prefecture to the west of Yanzhou. Reinforcement, and cooperate with General Su, keep an eye on the Qi army in Yanzhou."

Master Shen turned his head and looked at the huge detailed map of Shandong just completed by the Mansion News Agency behind him. His eyes were on Yizhou in the east of Yanzhou. After thinking for a while, he said: "Yizhou has fifteen thousand troops…"

"Dongping Prefecture, it's probably about the same."

"That…"

The branch in Shen Yi's hand was tapped on Yanzhou Fucheng, and lightly drew a circle near Yanzhou Fucheng: "That is to say, the strength of the Qi army in this area is about 5 people."

Last year, the Qi army near Xuzhou had almost 20 soldiers at its peak. In the second half of last year, Wei Wang Zhao Kai, who is now the Zhaowu Emperor Zhao Kai, conspired to rebel and transferred 10 people from Xuzhou abruptly. They are all elite.

The remaining troops in Xuzhou at that time were less than 10.

After being eaten by Shen Yi's army in Suqian, as well as some scattered small groups of troops, there were about 5000 people who finally managed to escape north.

Before the reinforcements from Yandu returned, these 5000 people, combined with the original local army of Yanzhou Prefecture, or Shandong Province, would only be 8 at most.

Shen Yi's estimate is 8 people.

And this estimate is already overestimated.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi asked, "How many casualties are we expected to take down Yizhou in two months?"

Xue Wei has been with Shen Yi for a long time, and he is already used to this kind of mention by Shen Yi in the "pre-war meeting".

This estimate, on the one hand, is based on the comparison of forces between the two sides and the consideration of the specific situation. At the same time, it also has the taste of some military orders. Here, Shen Yi will suffer a great crime.

Xue Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Shen, there are about 5000 to 7000 people."

The calculation of battle damage on the battlefield is often not the number of people killed in battle, but the number of people who have lost combat effectiveness.

Therefore, those who are seriously injured will also be included in the statistics.

Similarly, when calculating annihilation, the same principle applies. If the enemy surrenders, the number of people who surrender will also be counted in the annihilation.

Hearing this number, Shen Yi frowned slightly.

Xue Wei's vanguard army is only about 5000 people. If the battle loses [-] people, it is tantamount to a battle, and they are beaten to the point of missing arms and legs.

Even if it is calculated based on five thousand battle damage, it is still a serious loss of vitality.

And when Master Shen calculated the battle damage, he always calculated according to the maximum casualties.

Shen Yi sat in his seat, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then shook his head slightly: "No."

"too long."

Two months is really too long.

Because the Northern Qi Dynasty is not only a Yanzhou Prefecture, it is not even a Shandong Province.

To the north of Shandong Province, there are several provinces in Northern Qi. Faced with the situation in Shandong, it is impossible for the entire Northern Qi to sit idly by.

In two months, Northern Qi could reach Yanzhou even if they transferred troops from Yandu.

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "Yizhou has really been fighting for two months, not to mention the loss of the vanguard army. My two armies on the left and right have to cover the vanguard army, and they are almost unable to move. By that time, the Qi people's reinforcements have already arrived. .”

Ling Su looked up at the map, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Mr. Shen, or else Rong Mo will take Jining Prefecture first?"

"The general sent someone to investigate. The city walls of Jining Prefecture are not that tall. The defenders in the city are estimated to be around 5000 people. The general is confident that Jining Prefecture will be conquered within half a month."

Shen Yi was also looking up at the picture, and then pointed to several cities near Yanzhou Mansion.

"I have an idea."

Shen Yi whispered: "Attack Zouxian, Jining, and Qufu with all our strength."

These three cities are too close to the city of Yanzhou Prefecture, that is, the county seat of Yanzhou, so they can basically be said to be the acropolis of Yanzhou Prefecture.

Su Ding frowned and looked up at Shen Yi.

"Mr. Shen wants to go directly to Yanzhou?"

He shook his head and said: "This is more risky. Our strength is not enough to form a crushing situation against the entire Qi army in Yanzhou. If we directly attack Yanzhou, we may be dragged in the quagmire of Yanzhou, unable to move."

Shen Yi shook his head.

"I said we should attack these three cities, but I didn't say we should attack Yanzhou."

"According to the available information, the military strength of Zou County and Jining Prefecture is almost 5000."

"Even if Qufu is more important, it is estimated that there will not be too many more."

Master Shen said in a low voice: "Xue Wei's vanguard escaped from Yizhou and transferred to Fei County to stand by."

"The two armies on the left and right have enough troops to surround these three cities."

At this moment, Su Ding has already reacted.

His eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Shen, what you mean is to surround these three acropolis and divide the Yanzhou Prefecture's troops while forcing the main force of the Qi army in Yanzhou Prefecture to come out of the city to rescue..."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes, shook his head slightly and said, "I mean, if they come to rescue, they can naturally turn around and fight the reinforcements from Yanzhou."

"This tactic is called, encircling the spot to fight for aid."

Master Shen paused for a moment, and continued: "And if the troops from Yanzhou Prefecture do not come to rescue, let's bite the bullet and eat these three cities."

"At that time, the siege of Yanzhou will no longer be just a prototype on paper, but a fait accompli."

"Waiting for help..."

Ling Su repeated the four words Shen Yi said, and then looked at the map, and suddenly understood something.

"If we occupy these three cities, it will be equivalent to besieging Yanzhou. Then we can encircle a larger point and attack Yizhou and Dongpingzhou for reinforcements..."

Shen Yi smiled: "General Ling has better eyesight."

Su Ding's gaze also looked at Yanzhou, and said: "This method is designed to save everything that attacks the enemy."

"But…"

He looked at the map and said, "If the troops of the Qi people shrink to Yanzhou, just like we shrunk to Xuzhou last year, it will be difficult to pose a threat to Yanzhou in a short time."

"If there is no threat to Yanzhou, then Yanzhou is not something the enemy must save."

"This crucial point no longer exists."

Shen Yi heard this and rubbed his temples.

This is indeed a problem that has to be considered, and it is a very critical problem.

If this problem is not resolved, there will be no way to talk about the Braille in the circle.

Master Shen looked back at the map behind him, and said slowly: "Three, after taking down Zou County, Jining Prefecture and Qufu, I will not be able to threaten Yanzhou City."

"Yanzhou will not be as solid as Xuzhou."

Su Ding immediately bowed his head when he heard the words: "Then...the subordinates have no problem."

He naturally had no doubts about Shen Yi.

Even if he just said that he has a way, without even mentioning any way, he still trusts him unconditionally.

Xue Wei also understood now. He looked at the map and scratched his head: "Mr. Shen, what do you mean. Let me go to Fei County to guard and wait for reinforcements from Yizhou?"

Shen Yi rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Ling Su also stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Since Mr. Shen has a clever plan to threaten Yanzhou, then there is no problem with this method."

"In the end, within half a month, Jining must be taken down!"

Su Ding hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said: "Within half a month, Zou County will be taken down!"

Shen Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"Well, when the time comes..."

"Let's work together again to take down that city of saints."
