Chapter 3767 My son is far away
Soon, Gao Kan, Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Liu Shenli and other generals arrived one after another. General Cen Changqian and Xin Mao happened to come to consult Fang Jun on something, and it happened to be the meeting. Fang Jun left them to discuss the details together and brainstorm to formulate a plan.
In fact, there was nothing to discuss. The rebels were divided into two camps, one on the left and one on the right. The East Camp was located outside Tonghua Gate, and the West Camp was located south of Kaiyuan Gate. There were also a large number of troops stationed outside Jinguang Gate.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were two main roads leading west from Chang'an City. One was from Kaiyuan Gate in Chang'an to Xianyang in the west, and the other was from Jinguang Gate in Chang'an to Luo Valley. Such an important transportation and strategic position made Jinguang Gate also a famous road in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. An important defense node of Chang'an City.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Liu Hongji and Yin Qiao crossed the Weishui River south to garrison the old city of Chang'an. Sui general Wei Xiaojie led his troops to attack fiercely, and were defeated. This battle established the situation for Li and Tang to stick to Chang'an, and thus started a vigorous trend that swept the world. .
Yin Qiao was named Kaishan, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, but he died relatively early. Later, a scholar compiled a daughter for him, married a husband named Chen E, and gave birth to a nephew for him. It’s Tang Monk...
Although the Guanlong rebels now occupy most of Chang'an City, due to Fang Jun returning aid from the Western Regions and opening up all the passes, Chen Bing controlled all the north of Chang'an outside the Xuanwu Gate, allowing the army to enter Chang'an City from the place under the Wei River, and Jinguangmen is an important city gate facing the western road, so the Guanlong army gathered heavy troops here and the defense was very strict.
It is absolutely impossible to attack by force. Sun Renshi can only sneak in with his belt and seal, and then wait for the opportunity to ignite the warehouse and burn the grain...
This makes it difficult for the soldiers responsible for lighting the fire to survive. After the fire breaks out, the rebels must immediately shrink and deploy defenses everywhere, cutting off all roads. If someone is mixed among the army, they will be discovered sooner or later, and once discovered, these people can only die in the enemy's siege.
This will be a journey to death with no retreat. Everyone in the tent was speechless for a moment, filled with a tragic atmosphere. No one at the top or bottom of Youtun Guard is afraid of death, but this tragic and heroic way of going forward knowing that they will die is still exciting and difficult to control.
But Master Sun Ren shook his head and said, "You may not necessarily die."
He pointed to the Cao River next to the Rain Master Altar and explained: "Today, all parts of Guanzhong and the sects outside Guanzhong are transporting grain to the warehouse outside Jinguang Gate, so the Cao River is extremely busy. And most of the soldiers responsible for water transportation are affiliated with Cao Yun's yamen, and they are closely related to Cao Yun. The Guanlong army was not a system, and they were very unfamiliar with each other. Especially as water transportation intensified and large-scale additions of water transportation soldiers were sent, this situation became more and more serious. The situation was serious, resulting in poor communication and constant conflicts between the two parties. When we set out, we carried the clothing of the canal soldiers with us. After arriving at Yushitan, we could divide it into two parts, go all the way to the warehouse to set fire, and go all the way to Caohe to secretly seize a few ships. As long as the two groups of people work together in a tacit understanding of the tank boat, the rebels can get out of the encirclement when the rebels are in chaos after the arson.”
In short, it is to use the gap and unfamiliarity between the Guanlong Army and the Water Transport Agency to create opportunities.
This can indeed add a bit of insurance to a safe retreat, but only a few points. First of all, when seizing the canal ship, the canal transport soldiers must not be aware of it, otherwise they will inevitably resist fiercely and their intention will be in vain. Secondly, after the fire was set, the Guanlong army would immediately impose martial law on the scene. How to avoid alerting the Guanlong army during the evacuation was a huge problem, even if Sun Renshi personally led the army.
But compared with the huge impact of burning the grain, these sacrifices are acceptable.
Fang Jun nodded heavily: "Although I know that I will die, I still have to plan as carefully as possible and never give up hope."
Master Sun Ren was moved and said: "The commander-in-chief loves his soldiers as much as his sons. As your subordinate, I will die without regrets!"
In any era, the commander of an army must consider how to win the war and achieve the goal of the war. If too much consideration is given to the casualties of the soldiers, it is a sign of incompetence and the benevolence of women. "also.
But for the soldiers, who can have a sense of belonging to the commander who regards their lives as trivial? They still hope that their coach can be more "feminine" and consider their lives more every time he makes plans and issues orders.
At this time, Cen Changqian, who had been silent and studying hard the whole time, suddenly said: "Commander, I have a plan that may increase Paoze's chance of escape."
Everyone looked at him, and Fang Jun also smiled and said: "A great talent in the academy, what good advice can you teach me?"
"The handsome man praised..."
Called by Fang Jun a "great talent in the academy", Cen Changqian was a little embarrassed, but immediately cheered up and said: "At first, we were ordered by the prince to guard the foundry, but we were outnumbered. In order to avoid the entire army being destroyed, we had to break out. The situation was urgent. , we can neither allow a group of classmates to die tragically at the hands of the rebels, nor can we allow a large amount of gunpowder stored in the warehouse to fall into the hands of the rebels, adding momentum to their attack on the imperial city, so I came up with a way to tie the Thunderbolt fuse to the incense and place it between the gunpowder sticks. The Thunderbolt would not be detonated immediately, but after we evacuated safely, the incense burned out and the explosion occurred. I lit the fuse and detonated the thunder, and then ignited the gunpowder. At that time, we had escaped from the foundry bureau. Many rebels swarmed into the foundry bureau and were blown into pieces by the huge explosion, causing numerous casualties. "
< br>
"Wonderful!"
Gao Kan clapped his hands and praised: "What a wonderful idea. With such a simple setting, you can adjust the time when the earthquake thunder detonates at will. When the warehouse has not yet caught fire, the rebels must have neglected their precautions, which is conducive to our quick retreat. Wait until the earthquake When the thunder detonated, our dead soldiers were already far away, and we couldn’t catch up with them even if we wanted to!”
Everyone praised him.
Fang Jun nodded appreciatively at Cen Changqian: "This plan is very clever. If it succeeds, I will remember you for your contribution!"
Cen Changqian was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Marshal!"
Master Sun Ren was also very excited. After all, although he was risking his life to gamble on his future, the risk was too great after all. Wouldn't it be great if he could add a little more safety factor?
Immediately said: "In this way, I can guarantee that not only will the rebels' food be burned successfully, but also all the soldiers will be brought back alive!"
Before he finished speaking, someone on the side said: "Commander, this matter is of great significance and has far-reaching influence. How can we let a subordinate general take charge of the overall situation? The general is willing to lead this operation. Please allow me, Commander-in-Chief!"
Master Sun Ren was stunned. Is there anyone who could take credit for such a thing?
Looking up, it turned out to be Cheng Wuting, the deputy general of Youtun Guard...
Fang Jun frowned and said displeased: "Why are you joining in the fun?"
Cheng Wuting was his most trusted subordinate and absolutely did not want him to take such a risk.
Cheng Wuting, however, salivated and smiled: "Commander, in this battle, our Youtun Guards have made countless military achievements. Even the Tubo people in the Anxi Army have many registered military merits, but the last general has only one inch of merit." If you don't stand, you really have no face to see people... Since Cen Changqian has such a clever plan, the safety of this trip will be greatly improved. If you ask General Yunzhun to lead the team, he will certainly fulfill his mission!"
Fang Jun was a little helpless.
He was absolutely unwilling to let Cheng Wuting take any risks. No matter how thorough the plan was in advance and how optimistic the contribution assessment was, in the final analysis, he was going straight into the heart of the rebels to cause trouble. Any small accident would cause The current plan completely fell through.
Once discovered by the rebels and encircled and suppressed, these dead soldiers had no hope of survival.
However, at this moment, all the lieutenants and generals from the upper and lower ranks of Youtun Guard were gathered in the tent. If he refuted Cheng Wuting's request in person, he would not only lose Cheng Wuting's face, but also make others accuse him of favoring Cheng Wuting, which would lead to clear and fair rewards and punishments in the army. The creed of justice is broken, which is never allowed...
In desperation, I had no choice but to nod and agree...
He turned around and patted Sun Renshi on the shoulder again, encouraging: "You are my son Yuanye! This operation must not only ensure success, but also ensure safety! After you come back, follow my command and make great achievements. As long as you have the ability, I will protect you." A future! ”
During the Battle of Guandu, Cao and Yuan faced each other on both sides of the Yellow River. Yuan Shao's 100,000 elite troops came out in full force. Cao Cao suffered repeated defeats and almost collapsed. At the critical moment, Xu You, a counselor under Yuan Shao's tent, came to surrender late at night. Cao Cao greeted him barefoot and beamed: "I'm coming from afar, great things can be accomplished!"
Then Xu You came up with a plan. Cao Cao sent troops to bypass Yuan's army in front of Guandu and go straight to Wuchao behind it. They burned up Yuan Shao's food and grass. Taking advantage of Yuan's army's chaos, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in one go and established the rule of the North. rule. (End of chapter)
