Chapter 1999: Losing people and losing land, gaining both people and land

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the news of Xiagui's fall came, Li Yuan could no longer hold his anger.

    He sat in his seat, with a look of decline and fatigue on his face, and was lost in thought for a long time.

    Over the past few days, he has heard too much bad news, which has made him physically and mentally exhausted.  He couldn't understand why he had fallen to this level in just one year.

    "If I had known today, wouldn't it be better to stay in Jinyang honestly? Why bother to go into this muddy water?"

    Just when Li Yuan was lost in thought, Wen Daya dismissed everyone.

    Li Yuan saw that something was wrong with Wen Daya. Although he was exhausted physically and mentally, he still suppressed his inner depression and said, "Is something wrong with Yan Hong?"

    At this time, Wen Daya was sitting on the couch and suddenly said seriously: "My lord, if our army stays in Tongzhou today, there is no other possibility except being trapped to death by the Sui army. Please, my lord, withdraw our troops."

    After hearing this, Li Yuan sighed and said: "Yan Hong, you must be very clear these days. It's not that I don't want to leave, but there are Sui troops in front of me and Luoshui behind. More than 100,000 troops are trapped in a corner.  The ground cannot move. If we retreat rashly, the consequences will be unimaginable."

    Wen Daya suddenly said: "My lord, as of today, there are no consequences and cannot be considered."

    At this time, Wen Daya put his hands on his forehead and bowed solemnly, bowing his head to the ground.

    "The Sui army did not fight with our army in order to clear out the surrounding areas of our army, then surround and annihilate our army in one fell swoop. Every day our army delayed in Tongzhou was to give the other side one more day.

    Retreating now, even if the casualties are huge, the Sui army will not be able to retain our army.  When all the prefectures and counties on all sides were lost and the Sui army occupied the ground, our army would have no way out even if it wanted to retreat.  "

    Wen Daya did not say one thing. If he had left after receiving the news of the crisis in Chang'an, Xiagui would not have been lost and his retreat would not have been cut off.

    Li Yuan was stunned for a long time and then said: "How confident are we that our army can break through now?"

    Wen Daya said: "I am not a general, so I have no confidence, but I understand that if everything is done carefully, this battle will not be fought."

    Li Yuan listened and pondered silently.

    Wen Daya can think so, but he can't.  After all, war is not something that can be decided at once.

    As Li Yuan¡¯s confidant, Wen Daya usually responds silently. Although she fulfills her duties, she seems to be a little aloof.

    Li Yuan was a little happy to see that Wen Daya took the initiative to offer advice this time, and then said: "What else does Yan Hong have to say? As long as it's reached this point, it's time for our monarchs and ministers to work together to fight the national crisis.  There¡¯s nothing to hide.¡±

    Wen Daya hesitated a little, but finally summoned up the courage to ask: "My lord, do you think Guanzhong can still bear it?"

    Si minus 75z*hon gwen .c om Si.  Li Yuan was stunned and suddenly looked at Wen Daya with a stern expression.

    Wen Daya seemed relieved when he asked this question. Faced with Li Yuan's fierce gaze, he calmed down.

    Li Yuan looked at Wen Daya for a long time. Seeing Wen Daya's calm look, he asked in a rough voice: "Does Yan Hong want to surrender to Huang Mingyuan?"

    "I don't dare!"

    Li Yuan showed a fierce look and said: "I think you are very brave, but you still have my lord in your eyes. Just because you messed up the morale of our army, if there was a third person here today, you would have been dragged down and beheaded."  .¡±

    Wen Daya fell on the ground, but said calmly: "The reason why I said this is because I am loyal to the lord, otherwise I would never say these words."

    In fact, Li Yuan also believed in Wen Daya, so this gesture was really angry at first, but later became a bit pretentious.

    Therefore, seeing that Wen Daya was not begging for sin, Li Yuan said with an annoyed look: "If you have anything else you want to say, just say it."

    Wen Dayana straightened up and said: "Now in the entire Guanzhong battlefield, our army is divided everywhere by the Sui army. We can't look at each other from head to tail, and the situation everywhere is weaker than that of the Sui army. If this continues, the final result will be nothing more than  They were eaten one by one by the Sui army."

    Li Yuan frowned and said, "What else?"

    Wen Daya then continued: "If we want to change this situation, our army must withdraw its scattered forces from various battlefields and concentrate its forces to fight. Only then can we avoid being scattered and defeated by the Sui army."

    Li Yuan asked again: "It's okay to concentrate our troops, but what does this have to do with whether Guanzhong can be defended?"

    Wen Daya picked up the map of Yi Zhan and placed it in front of Li Yuan, and then said: "Guanzhong is a place chosen by nature. Guanzhong is fertile and wild, and the four fortresses are steep. If you get it, you can become a king.

    &#29306&#22914&#32&#115&#117&#121&#105&#110&#103&#119&#97&#110&#103&#46&#110&#101&#116&#32&#29306&#22914&#12290But now the Sui army has broken through our defense line from two directions on the eastern front  , the entire battle advances from the outside of Guanzhong to the inside of Guanzhong.

    "The land in Guanzhong is full of plains and fertile fields, with no danger to defend."

    "Both the Western Qin Army and the Sui Army, their cavalry is far more elite than our army. The battle in Guanzhong, although it is a local battle, is far from conducive to our army.  "

    Li Yuan asked doubtfully: "But then there is no need to give up Guanzhong?"

    Wen Daya did not speak, but took three cups and placed them on the map.

    "My Lord, please see, north of the Wei River, our army's three major battlefields are Tongzhou, Yizhou, and Binzhou, fighting against the Sui Army's Guanbei Army, Hedong Army, and West Qin Army respectively.

    More than half of our army¡¯s strength was concentrated here, but the result was that the enemy troops continued to advance, and our army was exhausted to cope with it, setting up defenses everywhere and failing everywhere.

    But if our army withdraws from Weibei, it will at least give up most of the land in Weibei.

    Lord, please see, Xue Rengao will go south along the Jing River, and Huang Mingzheng will go south along the Guanbei Avenue. Both sides will end up in Weibei.  The Lord thinks who among Xue Rengao and Huang Mingzheng will give in?  "

    Li Yuan was a little thoughtful.

    He can¡¯t defeat two families by himself, but if the two families fight together, his chance will come.

    Wen Daya continued: "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Once Xue Rengao and Huang Mingzheng face off, no matter who wins or loses, we will be liberated."

    Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi.  As for our army, we liberated the soldiers and horses under Chen Guogong (Dou Kang) and Zheng Guogong (Li Shentong).  The two armies can obtain 70,000 to 80,000 troops, and our army can calmly rescue Chang'an, rearrange the defense line, and even withdraw from Guanzhong.  "

    Li Yuan was overjoyed, but after hearing Wen Daya's last words, he asked: "Yan Hong's plan is a good one, but since our army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, how can we withdraw from Guanzhong if we are not chasing after the victory?"

    Wen Dayanai said: "The people in Guanzhong have been devastated. Our army stayed in Guanzhong. Although there were still many soldiers and horses, the morale dropped even more. In the south of Bashu, our army had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Although we lost Guanzhong, we still lost our morale.  There are natural dangers in Bashu, and more than 100,000 elite troops are enough to defend themselves. But once the army suffers heavy casualties in Guanzhong, even if it retreats to Bashu, it may not be able to defend it."

    Li Yuan hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Yan Hong's words are very good. I remember Huang Mingyuan once said, 'If you save land, you will lose people, and you will lose both people and land; if you save people, you will lose land, and you will gain both people and land.' This is a wise saying."
