Chapter 265 Military Discussion

It wasn't until the main force led by Zhang Wen entered Guangyang County that He Lian gradually realized that something was wrong. However, it was too late at this time. Under the arrangement of Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen, two senior insiders, Helian's every move was well known to Zhang Wen.

When He Lian really found out the problem, he was already surrounded by a group of people and trapped in the area of ​​Ji County.

Including Shang Ji, reinforcements from different regions also arrived one after another, gathered together, and began to plan the final stage of the hunting plan.

"The last general Shang Ji, I have met the general!" As the supreme commander of the Han army in this battle, Zhang Wengao sat in the big tent, and the reinforcements from all walks of life came to salute.

"You are Shang Ji?" When it was Shang Ji's turn, Zhang Wen couldn't help but take a good look at Shang Ji and asked back.

"Back to the general, it is the last general!" Shang Ji replied respectfully.

"You did a good job, you are a promising young man!" Zhang Wen nodded slightly and praised with a smile.

This time the Xianbei invaded, the invaded counties fell into the flames of war one after another. Before the reinforcements arrived, almost all of them could barely resist, with the exception of Liaodong County.

Under the bloody battle of Shang Ji, the Xianbei invaders in Liaodong County were quickly wiped out. Not only that, but there was still room to send troops to support other counties. In the absence of conflicts of interest, Zhang Wen is still very friendly to such talented young people.

"The general's reputation is too high, but the last general's ineffective protection has caused the prince to suffer misfortune. Please punish the general!" Shang Ji respectfully said.

Zhang Wen laughed dumbfounded when he heard this, and waved his hands: "Wang Taishou came to the front line in person, accidentally fell into an ambush by the enemy, and sacrificed his life for the country. The general has already reported to the imperial court. Presumably, the imperial court will issue a decree for compensation and donation in the near future. This is Lieutenant Shang. Although there are some responsibilities, but in general it is due to Xianbei's treachery and Wang Tong's carelessness, Shang Xiaowei doesn't need to worry about it!"

"Thank you, General, for your generosity!" Shang Ji was ecstatic in his heart when he heard the words, but his face remained calm, pretending to be grateful, and bowed deeply to Zhang Wen.

"Okay, this battle to encircle and suppress Helian requires the efforts of Captain Shang, so you don't need to be polite, take your seat quickly!" Zhang Wen smiled, pointed to a seat near the front, and said to Shang Ji Said.

Shang Ji didn't refuse, and sat down safely.

"Ahem!" Seeing that everyone was seated, Zhang Wen coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "Now that the Xianbei bandits are deeply surrounded by our army, the generals can rely on high-level opinions to completely wipe out the Xianbei bandits. ?”

Those who are eligible to participate in this level of military conference are officers of the rank of lieutenant at the very least, and there are more than 20 lieutenants with the same title as Shang Ji.

In terms of official position alone, Shang Ji is not qualified to sit in the front row at all. It is only because Shang Ji has made great military achievements and is favored by Zhang Wen that he has the opportunity to sit in the front row.

After Zhang Wen's voice fell, the big tent suddenly fell silent.

After a while, a general stood up and said, "General, although the Xianbei bandit army is surrounded by our army, it is like a trapped beast. However, the enemy's combat power is tyrannical, and there is Mr. Xianbei and his relatives, so we should not underestimate it." , General, please proceed carefully!"

There was a wave of contempt in everyone's heart when they heard the words.

I thought that this military commander could say something clever when he got up, but who knows that it is just some clichés that everyone knows.

Now the total strength of the Xianbei army gathered here is no less than three million, and most of them are the elite of the Xianbei royal court, and their combat power is basically above the fourth rank. Thousands of giants.

Although the total strength of the Han army is superior, except for the 500,000 elite Northern Army led by Zhang Wen and the Shang Ji Division, the combat power of other county troops is generally lower than that of the Xianbei Army.

If it weren't for the sudden change, He Lian lost his sense for a while, and was betrayed by Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen in partnership, the Xianbei Army would have to bear a certain loss and be fully capable of breaking out of the encirclement.

But if the opportunity is missed, it is missed, because Helian was indecisive at the critical moment, and the Xianbei army missed the best opportunity to break through. Relying on the advantages of geographical location and military strength, the Han army besieged the Xianbei army to the north of Ji County.

Although the siege is closed, the Xianbei army is a tough one. With the current strength of the Han army here, they want to wipe them all out in one go.

Very difficult.

You even have to be careful to start a battle of trapped beasts with Lian, and bite the army back.

"General Chen's words are reasonable, I know this, and the rest of the generals still have a high opinion?" Zhang Wen nodded expressionlessly, and continued to ask.

"General, the last general thinks that the Xianbei rebel army is surrounded by our army, and it is better to rely on the method of siege. Our army has enough food, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements coming to surround it. When we are in trouble, we will launch another thunderous strike, and we will be able to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop!"

Another general got up and said.

As soon as the military commander's words fell, there was a sound of echoing immediately.

This is the most conservative strategy, besieging the enemy here, the Han army is backed by the big Han, and has a steady stream of logistical supplies, but the Xianbei army is different. Helian was abandoned by Ke Bineng and others, and lost his supplies. After a long time, the Xianbei army ran out of ammunition and food, and the morale of the army was slackened, so it was naturally easy to solve.

Zhang Wen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and his expression was quite moved.

"General, the last general thinks it is impossible!" At this moment, another general stood up and said.

Zhang Wen turned his gaze to this person, and asked, "Li Duwei, why do you think it's impossible?"

"General!" Colonel Li bowed his hands, and continued: "As we all know, our army was able to besiege Helian here in this battle because of the internal discord in Xianbei!"

This point is basically no secret among the high-level Han army, and no one has any objection to it.

The general paused, and continued: "The internal situation in Xianbei is changing, and the situation is turbulent. Helian's father, Tan Shihuai, has an extremely high status in Xianbei. Although he has passed away now, many Xianbei people will pay attention to Tan Shihuai. The respect is transferred to Helian. If Helian cannot be killed as soon as possible, the people of Xianbei will know the news that Helian is trapped here, and there may be accidents. Please think again, general!"

When everyone heard the words, they were stunned again, and then there was a burst of whispering in the big tent.

Although the Xianbei nobles, especially the top nobles generally despise Helian in their hearts, in the hearts of ordinary Xianbei people, Helian, who has inherited the aura of Tanshihuai, has a very high status.

They have no actual contact with Helian, and they don't know Helian's specific talents and conduct. The crazy worship of Tanshihuai makes people start to blindly worship its heirs.

Even when Kebi Neng and Bu Dugen entrapped Helian, they did not dare to make a big show of it. Instead, they used false military orders to deceive the soldiers at the bottom, telling them that the Helian army had retreated, and their retreat was the result of obeying Helian's order. .

Once Helian cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, and the news that Helian is besieged here is passed on, no one can guarantee whether Xianbei will do something crazy.

Zhang Wen had already leaned towards the strategy of siege in his heart, but after hearing Li Duwei's words, he suddenly hesitated again, undecided, and his indecisive character was fully exposed.
