Chapter 247: Deployment of troops and Qin Mo's foreign aid
"General Huoqi, do you have anything to add?" Qin Mo took the initiative to call on Li Mu's name.
He didn't go so far as to suspect Li Mu of anything.
Li Mu was startled, but he didn't dare to be rude. He stood up immediately, thought for a while, and said, "I think that in addition to waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out in Xianyang, we should also send an army to sweep away the remaining forces in Guanzhong as quickly as possible and complete the actual occupation of all counties, especially the western part of Guanzhong."
Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, as if he saw through Li Mu's intention, "Are you worried that those local garrison troops and border troops will go to join Wang Jian?"
"That's right."
Li Mu nodded in approval, "I have dealt with Wang Jian before. He is very steady in commanding his troops. After learning that Xianyang has fallen, he will never rush to attack the city rashly. He will definitely consider the situation carefully."
"Well said!" Qin Mo praised , "I'll do as you say."
Even at this time,
Li Mu was still able to keep a clear head, worthy of being one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.
Qin Mo can be said to have found a treasure.
…
As soon as the military meeting ended, Qin Mo issued a series of orders in the name of King Yue.
The Minister of Personnel Xun Yu was ordered to rush to Xianyang immediately to take charge of the situation, while the Minister of Revenue Bai Hua was temporarily in charge of Longchuan City.
Qin Mo has decided to establish Xianyang as the western capital of Yue State.
That is the second royal city.
Although the land of Baiyue has unlimited potential and much to be done, it is, at least for now, still too desolate and far away from the core area of the Central Plains, so its influence is somewhat weak.
Xianyang is different.
The Guanzhong area today can be described as the place where the dragon rises. Historically, the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties all rose here, and it was not until the middle and late Tang Dynasty that they moved to the Luoyang area.
Establishing Xianyang as the western capital would undoubtedly greatly enhance the status of the Kingdom of Yue.
He ordered General Lian Po to lead the First Corps of the Black Water Army to enter Guanzhong immediately.
After taking Xianyang, Hanzhong's strategic position plummeted, and it was only necessary to leave the Ninth Corps of the Nanyue Army to continue to be responsible for supervising the transportation of food and supplies.
at the same time,
Hanzhong will also serve as a temporary base for detaining prisoners of war.
After Lian Po enters the Pass, he will replace Li Mu and command the First and Second Corps of the Black Water Army, as well as the First, Second, Third and Fourth Corps of the Nanyue Army, to garrison Xianyang.
As for Li Mu,
He will lead the South Vietnamese Army's Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Corps and be responsible for the peripheral mopping-up plan.
The four corps will be divided into two routes, east and west.
West Road,
That is, the 7th and 8th Corps of the Nanyue Army, which were mainly responsible for sweeping the counties west of Xianyang.
East Road,
That is, the Fifth and Sixth Corps of the South Vietnamese Army, which were mainly responsible for sweeping the counties east of Xianyang.
The focus of the east and west routes is different.
The western route was really swept, especially the western and northern border troops, which were to be wiped out without mercy, either surrendering or dying in battle, leaving no room for the remnants of the Qin army to turn around.
The east route is mainly based on mopping up as a supplement and positioning as a priority.
To put it bluntly,
The two eastern legions will serve as the vanguard of Yue State in resisting Wang Jian's army.
It is also an extension of Xianyang's defense system. The two legions, one in the south and one in the north, support each other and form an iron triangle with Xianyang.
in,
The Fifth Legion in the south had another important task, which was to capture Wuguan.
Guanzhong, Guanzhong,
The reason why the heartland of Qin State is called Guanzhong Plain is because of the checkpoints and fortresses distributed on the four important roads in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest.
That is, Xiaoguan in the north, Sanguan in the west, Wuguguan in the south, and Tongguan in the east.
Sanguan is located at the intersection of Chencang Road and is an important road leading directly to the west of Hanzhong. It is currently controlled by the State of Yue and is garrisoned by troops from the 9th Corps of the South Vietnamese Army.
Wuguan is located in the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains in the Shangluo area. It is the only way between Guanzhong and the Xiangwan Basin. By passing through Wuguan to reach Xiangyang or Wancheng, you can further reach Jingchu, Heluo, Huaisi and even Hanzhong.
Indirectly controllable four directions,
The strategic position is extremely important.
Precisely because of this, Qin Mo wanted to seize Wuguan first, both to block Wang Jian's army's way back home and to guard against the State of Chu.
This closed the southern gate of the Guanzhong Plain.
As for Tongguan, or the surrounding Hanguguan, as the hub of the Qin army's eastward advance, there are still Qin troops stationed there and they cannot be captured at all.
otherwise,
There is no need to guard against Wang Jian's army.
…
After issuing the military order, Qin Mo quickly withdrew from "Honghuang".
The first was to transport a new batch of food and supplies for the various armies, and very considerately deliver them directly to the base camps of each legion to alleviate the food shortage problem of the various armies.
no way,
In order to facilitate the governance of the old Qin territory in the future, Qin Mo had to restrain the various departments and strictly prohibit the army from looting the local people's food rations. At most, he could only take away the grain reserves of local government offices.
However, the Qin State had been fighting wars for years and had no food reserves, which were basically all gone.
Qin Mo could only continue to provide blood transfusions to the army from reality.
Speaking of which,
The Qin State also suffered bad luck.
According to Wei Liao's previous deployment, it stands to reason that even if Qin Mo cheated and forcibly created a sword path in the Qinling Mountains, the Qin State would not be defeated so quickly.
First of all, the food and supplies had to be transported all the way north from the land of Baiyue, passing through Shu and Hanzhong along the way, and then transported to the Guanzhong Plain, which was simply as difficult as climbing to the sky.
A cartload of food set out from Longchuan City, but it was probably eaten up by the driver before it reached the front line.
The road to Shu is difficult.
It’s harder than ascending to heaven.
Wanting to transport grain to Bashu is simply wishful thinking.
It was for this reason that Wei Liao dared to conclude that even if the State of Yue fought with all its might, it would not be able to send too many troops to attack Guanzhong.
Even so,
Wei Liao still organized an army of 250,000.
It is already very conservative.
Who would have thought that Qin Mo not only had a cheat in mountain clearing, but also had an incredible cheat in food and grass transportation, using a real world as a support to provide blood transfusions for the army.
How could Qin not lose? It was even more unfair than Dou E's.
…
In addition to transporting food and supplies, Qin Mo also had something to do with Zhou Shihong.
The two met at Taishang Taoist Temple.
As soon as they met, Zhou Shihong was incoherent, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that you would destroy the Qin State like this, it's really shocking."
He originally expected that it would be great if Yue could take over Hanzhong.
I never thought this would be the case.
After this battle, Zhou Shihong had already vaguely foreseen that a new and powerful Dai Viet Dynasty would be born in the Warring States world and unify the world.
How can I not be excited...
"I came here this time to borrow troops from you." Qin Mo did not hide it.
"oh?"
Zhou Shihong suddenly became interested. "Didn't you say before that if players wanted to serve in Yue State, they had to start as agricultural officials? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"It's an emergency."
Qin Mo introduced the current situation of the Qin State.
"When the army sweeps through the counties, in addition to encountering resistance from local garrisons and border troops, it is expected that there will also be obstruction from groups of cultivators such as county magistrates, county governors, guest mages, etc. In order to pacify the Qin State in the shortest possible time, I need to find a group of players who are at least in the Jindan stage to cooperate with the Yue State in this operation." Qin Mo said.
"In other words, players may have to participate in the battle between monks?" Zhou Shihong frowned slightly.
"It's not a possibility, it will definitely happen, and there may even be sacrifices." Qin Mo did not shy away from saying, "Of course, risks and rewards coexist. Whoever can sweep a county, I will make him the county magistrate; whoever can sweep a county, I will make him the county governor, and I will never break my promise."
After going through so many things and cooperating with players countless times, Qin Mo has gradually figured out how to play the game. In many cases, the relationship between him and the players is actually just that of an employer and an employee.
In simple terms,
It's the relationship between boss and employees.
Employees are paid according to how much work they do.
If work beyond the plan needs to be completed, either the boss has to pay overtime wages, or the employee can work with the idea of getting a promotion. It's a two-way street.
No one is truly innocent.
In the land of Baiyue, the number of positions that the boss Qin Mo can offer is limited, but the group of players interested in applying is extremely large, and the demand exceeds the supply.
therefore,
Qin Mo can set conditions and let employees go to the grassroots level to gain experience first, otherwise they will be fired.
Or just don't recruit them.
Now,
Qin Mo also holds a number of good positions, which are also very tempting, but they require players to do things beyond the plan and take certain risks with him.
It's impossible to say,
Qin Mo is responsible for all the adventurous matters, and the players just follow behind and reap the benefits.
If you want something, you have to pay for it.
That's fair.
Zhou Shihong naturally understood this principle, so he had nothing to say. He just asked, "Can Wei Tianli, Li Feng and others also participate?"
"sure!"
As the Taoist temple system began to be established in China, the living space of the cultivation families had been greatly compressed, and there was no need to continue suppressing them.
It is completely possible to give them some food.
Those who are willing to do risky things like this are either those who think they are strong, or those who are ambitious enough to take risks, or those who are from a cultivation family.
The latter has resources, manpower, and the highest efficiency.
There's no reason to leave it unused.
"Then I understand. Give me three days." Zhou Shihong also knew that Qin Mo was in a hurry.
A little later,
Wang Jian's army was about to march into the Guanzhong Plain.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Qin Mo no longer needs to be polite with Zhou Shihong. In a sense, his interests are actually connected with Tianshu.
Although Zhou Shihong threw the hook, Qin Mo also caught it.
