Mi Han

Chapter 521 Candle Shadow Jialue Full of Applause

Compared to Liu Bei's chuckle, after hearing Mi Yang's thoughts, all the ministers were surprised but also confused.

The main body of Guanzhong is basically composed of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, but compared with Liangzhou, Yongzhou is also called Sizhou, which is the essence of Guanzhong.

More than [-]% of the population in Guanzhong is concentrated in the Yongzhou area.

Moreover, compared to Yongzhou, Liangzhou is not only sparsely populated, but also mixed with many people of different races, which makes the situation in Liangzhou very unstable.

It's not that the Han officials in Liangzhou don't want to take back, but compared to Yongzhou, Liangzhou's strategic significance is behind in every respect.

Even if, as the general just said, they couldn't send troops to attack Chang'an immediately, why did they give up capturing Chencang, a strategic location, and go to capture the barren Liangzhou?

Not only the Han officials were puzzled, but Liu Bei also looked at Mi Yang.

Which one is more important between Yongzhou and Liangzhou seems to be a question that does not need to be considered.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Mi Yanglang said:

"Based on the situation in the world, Liangzhou is the only one that can compete with the world.

Why?

It is the reason why Liangzhou is so beautiful! "

Under the doubtful eyes of everyone, Mi Yang pointed to the Liangzhou area on the map of Guanzhong, and he used his body movements to more vividly describe the strategy in his heart to everyone in the hall.

"Since the first year of Zhangwu, the false emperor Cao Pi has invaded the northern border of our country and established the Ni Wei, looking at the territory of the Ni Wei, like an eagle with wings spread.

Liangzhou and Youzhou are its two wings.

Whoever wants to hunt an eagle, wouldn't he cut off his wings first?

On the other hand, in our dynasty, the country was founded in the southwest, and Liangzhou was located in the northwest. Since ancient times, there has always been a principle of flexion and extension between southwest and northwest!

The reason why Guanzhong is difficult to attack is that there are many fortified cities, and the second is that our army's food roads are remote and it is impossible to carry out a long-term siege.

But if I take back Liangzhou, Liangzhou and Liangzhou will be connected as one immediately.

At that time, our army can stockpile military rations in Liangzhou and train soldiers in Liangzhou. When the time is right, we can return to Yongzhou according to the upper reaches of the Wei River and break through Tongguan. When the army marches eastward, the broken bamboo will be formed.

The enemy is in the pass, but the benefits of the plains, I share with the enemy;

The enemy is in the Guandong, but with the convenience of Guanzhong, it is possible to go east to defeat the enemy.

The so-called those who want to consolidate the southwest must fight for Longyou; those who want to rule the world must first win Yongliang.

If there is southwest but no Longyou, the country will be weak; if it is related to the east but not to the middle, the country will be in danger.

The former is a metaphor for me, and the latter is a metaphor for an enemy.

If our army can take Longyou first, and then recover Liangzhou, and break the western arm against Wei, and Yongzhou will have no depth, why should Chang'an not be able to take it?

How can the world not recover? "

In front of everyone, Mi Yang put forward the idea of ​​giving priority to building strategic depth.

What's the first priority for a strategic Armageddon?

It is by no means to rush forward rashly, but to give priority to building the strategic depth of one's own army.

In Mi Yang's view, as long as the Han army can capture Liangzhou first, then when Liangzhou and Liangzhou are connected, the strategic depth of the Han army in Guanzhong has been formed.

How important is strategic depth to an army?

The first strategic depth can ensure that the army can conduct flexible operations, have sufficient space for maneuvering and shifting, and will not be dragged in one place abruptly by the enemy, thus forming a situation of being surrounded by anti-encirclement.

The second sufficient strategic depth can fundamentally eliminate the risk of an army being a guest army.

Once the Han army entered Guanzhong, the Han army immediately became a guest army.

When the two armies are at war, the guest army has many disadvantages.

For example, the food road is long, such as the unfamiliar terrain, such as the soldiers are not acclimated to the water and soil, and so on.

And once these disadvantages occur and are taken advantage of by the enemy army, let alone whether this battle can be won, I am afraid that our own army may face the risk of annihilation.

This is not alarmist talk, don't mention too long-term examples, just say that the victories of the Han army against the Wei army in the past few years are all classic battles where the host wins the guest?

But the big man does not have the strong national power of Cao Wei for the time being. Once this kind of disaster befalls the Han army, the foundation of the big man will be hit hard in an instant.

But if the Han army can capture Liangzhou, it means that the Han army has a vast base in Guanzhong.

At that time, can the Han army still be counted as the guest army entering Guanzhong?

Of course not.

It is a very important strategy to capture Liangzhou and turn Liangzhou into one's own strategic depth.

Once the Han army can complete this strategy, no matter how difficult it is to capture Chencang and Chang'an, the Han army is already invincible!

And if it is only a matter of time before the entire Guanzhong is recovered, how far will the day of universal unification be?

But the strategic benefits obtained by prioritizing the recovery of Liangzhou are far more than these.

"Most of Guanzhong is a plain, and on the plain, the cavalry is king.

If there is no large number of cavalry, how can our army defend the grain road?

Although our army was assisted by the Qiang and Di cavalry from the two counties, the strength of outsiders was not long-lasting. "

"Although Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, it has always been the place where we raised horses and grazed horses. Once our army can regain Liangzhou, it won't be long before our army can formally organize a cavalry army.

At that time, even if the bandit army and the cavalry army come together, why should our army worry about it?

When our army enters the Central Plains in the future, how will the enemy control us? "

In the current world, where is the most difficult part of forming a cavalry army.

Not the source of horses and knights.

Although the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei were mortal enemies, the private trade has never been cut off, especially in the Liangzhou area bordering Liangzhou.

And the Shu brocade of the great Han Dynasty is recognized as a hard currency in the world.

Coupled with the economy in Cao Wei's territory, it can only be described in four words: extremely funny.

Therefore, under the leadership of Mi Fang in the past few years, the big man can buy high-quality war horses through various channels.

In history, when Cao Shuang marched south, Fei Yi led the elite cavalry to support Hanzhong.

As for knights, there is actually no shortage of big men.

Not to mention that Liu Bei's starting team was originally a warrior in Youzhou, but in recent years, the number of Wei soldiers captured by the Han army is still small?

And you can buy horses, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy them?

But no matter in history or in this world, Ji Han has never been able to have a large-scale and organized cavalry army. The root cause of this is the word ranch!

Buying a horse is easy, but raising a horse is difficult.

War horses can be said to be the most precious creatures in the world. People can eat dirt when they are hungry, but war horses cannot. They must eat high-quality forage.

And war horses not only need to eat well, they can't be kept in the stables at ordinary times, they have to be taken out to run in the wilderness from time to time, so as to ensure the vitality of the war horses.

If the excellent war horses of the present age are kept in the stables, they will die of illness.

In order to ensure these two points, there must be a vast pasture.

Therefore, in history, when nomads entered the Central Plains, the first thing they thought of was to enclose land as pasture.

It's not that they naturally dislike farming life, nor that they just like bitter grazing.

In fact, if they don't hurry up to build a ranch, their strategic weapon, the war horse, will die in large areas for them to see in a short time.

But since ancient times in China, almost all the places that can be called pastures are in the north.

It is not enough for a pasture to have grass alone, but also to have suitable climatic conditions.

The lack of pastures made it difficult for Ji Han to form a large-scale cavalry army.

But this crux, or Ji Han's biggest military weakness, will be fundamentally changed after the Han army takes Liangzhou.

There are not only large pastures in Liangzhou, but also the pastures in his territory can be regarded as the best in the world.

The Hexi Corridor is in Liangzhou.

It can be said that Mi Yang's strategic concept of prioritizing the capture of Liangzhou can not only construct an excellent strategic depth for the Han army, so that the Han army can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty in a steady and steady manner, but can also directly make up for the last shortcoming of the Han army .

After everyone in the hall listened to Mi Yang's strategy, their eyes were a little dull.

The writing brush in the official historian's hand was suspended in the air for a long time, unable to write for a long time.

The candlelight in the hall was still shaking and confusing people's eyes, but at the moment the hall was completely silent.

When Mi Yang suggested that Liangzhou should be seized first, the people in the hall were mainly divided into two categories. One kind did not understand at all and waited for Mi Yang to clarify.

The other kind of people have some guesses about Mi Yang's thoughts, but how can they be as comprehensive as Mi Yang's thinking?

It's not that they are all ignorant people, but because of the obsession in their hearts, their pattern is not so far-reaching.

Before today, everyone in the hall only thought about the word Chang'an, but what about Mi Yang?

Just as Mi Yang said, "Liangzhou is the only one that can compete with the world." Mi Yang focused on the whole world.

If the Han army can really develop step by step according to Mi Yang's strategy, what is it to capture Chang'an?

Sweeping Guanzhong, returning to the old capital, leaving the tiger prison in the east, and leveling the world, this is what they should hope for!

Even after Mi Yang finished talking about the strategy in his mind, many people in the hall have not yet reacted from the shock.

Their minds were filled with the scene of Mi Yang standing under the map just now, pointing out mountains and rivers with his arms outstretched.

This scene made many Hanchens in the hall suddenly have a picture in their minds.

A goshawk that originally soared in the sky and despised all living beings was bitten by a snow-white elk, broke one of its wings, and was on the verge of falling in the sky.

But correspondingly, a red dragon that was originally prostrate on the ground, but with the support of the snow-white elk, washed the mud off its body, and its dragon claws were full of energy, and it seemed to fly into the sky the next moment.

In this scene with a strong sense of metaphor, all the ministers in the shocking hall didn't know what to say.

Even Liu Bei looked at Mi Yang with amazement.

Appreciating Mi Yang's amazing talent in the battle report is different from seeing it directly on the spot.

This is what he taught!

No, we have to add food towns, at least two thousand households.

However, the thoughts in his heart did not affect Liu Bei's exit and asked: "The plan will be released?"

Just now Mi Yang has been expounding the strategic significance of capturing Liangzhou, but now Liu Bei is asking about the specific tactics for capturing Liangzhou.

About this tactic, Mi Yang only talked about half of it.

Facing Liu Bei's inquiry, Mi Yang said without hesitation: "Our army can be divided into two groups, and one side will be commanded by His Majesty himself, marching from Baoxie Road with great fanfare.

The other route was commanded by ministers, marching from Qishan to the Longyou area.

When the rebel army learned that His Majesty marched from Baoxie Road, they would think that our army's main goal was Chang'an, and the rebel army would definitely relax their defenses in the Longyou area.

The way of the military strategist lies in the change of reality and reality.

Our army first adjusts the strength to form a void, and then hits the enemy's void by surprise, making the enemy's army exhausted and unable to care about each other.

I promise that within a year, Liangzhou will be owned by our army! "

When Mi Yang said these words, his words were full of strong self-confidence.

And the self-confidence he revealed infected everyone present.

No one doubted that Mi Yang would not be able to do this with a complete strategy and tactics.

That being the case, why not go all-in on Liangzhou stocks?

After a while, all the ministers in the lobby bowed to Mi Yang together and said, "Cai!"

Seeing the state of worship of the ministers towards Mi Yang, Liu Bei truly realized for the first time, the prestige of Mi Yang in the court and the opposition.

This prestige must be increased by at least [-] households!
