Whether or not there were reinforcements was not something Cao Ren could consider.
Now, he has to find ways to wait until the date given by Wu'an Jun Bai Qi.
If you can't keep it, your reputation after death will naturally not be good.
If you hold on, even if you die in battle, you will leave a good reputation in history books.
In fact, if someone else were to defend this city, facing an army of 250,000, the city would have been destroyed and everyone would have died.
Among the second-rate generals in the Qin camp, only Cao Ren could achieve this level.
As for first-class generals, such as Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, etc., they belong to this category.
However, facing the attacks from Jin and Chu, it was impossible for Qin to send first-class generals to defend against the enemy everywhere, because there were too many places where people were needed.
Yue Fei and his troops were still on their way to Shuozhou.
at the same time.
Li Mu's camp.
He had received a request for help from Pang Juan.
I am thinking about this now.
Pang Nuan said, "A full 250,000-man army has suffered heavy casualties, and has also wasted so much time in Shuozhou. Now they're asking for reinforcements. Where can we send them?"
Jin's million-strong reinforcement force has arrived.
Since Pang Juan's 250,000 troops were selected by Li Mu and Lian Po's camp, the impact on Li Mu's side was not very big.
Now, Li Mu still has an army of 600,000 at his command.
It is definitely false to say that there are no troops to send.
Pang Nuan was thinking about a question in his heart: it took the Jin army so long to conquer Shuozhou. Should they continue fighting?
If the Qin reinforcements arrive in time, wouldn't a full 200,000 Qin troops be more than enough to defend Shuozhou?
At that time, their main attack direction would not be Yunzhou, but Shuozhou.
This is somewhat contrary to the strategy established at the beginning.
Li Mu said in a deep voice, "If we don't send reinforcements, Pang Juan will be in danger. But if we do, given his temperament, I'm afraid he will continue to attack Shuozhou."
After spending so much time, there was actually nothing to show for it. No matter which commander it was, he would feel a little unhappy.
Although Lian Po had a large number of troops, the Youzhou City they were attacking was under the personal command of Prince Yan Zhu Di. It was a pipe dream to rush to support Shuozhou from there.
If he were to send someone from this side, I'm afraid the plan to attack Yunzhou would have to be temporarily shelved.
Pang Nuan frowned and said, "It's not right to send someone, and it's not right not to send someone. Otherwise, how about I go there myself?"
Li Mu asked, "Is 150,000 soldiers enough?"
Pang Nuan nodded and said, "If we only want to relieve Pang Juan, 150,000 will be enough, but if we continue to attack the city, we will need at least 200,000."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "If Pang Juan still hasn't taken Shuozhou while you're on your way to provide assistance, then return."
"The Marshal..." Pang Nuan hesitated to speak.
Li Mu said, "Let me talk."
"After attacking for so long, it's really hard to give up like this."
Pang Nuan sighed.
Li Mu said: "It was a risky move, so it was natural that it was defeated by the Qin army."
Pang Nuan nodded and said with concern: "Now I'm afraid that the problem in Shuozhou is not as simple as we thought."
"What do you mean?" Li Mu frowned.
Pang Nuan responded, "The Qin army is clearly planning to launch a major campaign in Shuozhou. I suspect they are using the battle of Youyun to try to turn their disadvantage into an advantage."
Li Mu thought about it again and again, and finally decided: "I will give you another 50,000 or 200,000 troops. If you can attack Shuozhou, then attack. If you can't, then bring the troops back."
"promise!"
Pang Nuan bowed solemnly.
Youzhou City.
At this moment, Zhu Di and others were also discussing the battle of Shuozhou.
Since the outbreak of the Youyun Campaign, Lian Po has been attacking Youzhou every two or three days.
It is worth mentioning that Pingzhou, which forms a flank with Youzhou, has been captured by Lian Po.
Today, Youzhou City is considered a deserted city.
However, this city is the northern gateway of Qin State.
If the Jin army wants to move south, it must first capture Youzhou.
Before this, Zhu Di had already thought that Youzhou would sooner or later become an isolated city, so he stockpiled a large amount of food and city defense equipment.
It won't be a problem if it takes a year or two.
"Your Highness, do you want to send reinforcements to Shuozhou?" Yao Guangxiao asked with a frown.
Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Not to Shuozhou. My reinforcements have arrived and will reach Shuozhou soon. Sending troops now is useless.
It is difficult for Wu'an Jun to defend the city, and I am afraid there are no soldiers to send. The enemy will definitely send troops to support Shuozhou.
Regardless of whether the support comes from Lian Po, Li Mu, or both, we cannot let them reach Shuozhou so easily."
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao already understood his intention.
Whether sending troops from Li Mu or Lian Po to Shuozhou and taking a detour through Youyun and other states, there is only one way to go.
Daizhou.
Today, Daizhou City has become a wasteland and has no strategic significance at all.
However, if it involves Shuozhou, it must go through Daizhou.
The city walls there have long disappeared, leaving only some ruins.
The people of the city had already moved south.
This was also one of Zhu Di's strategies to fortify the city and clear the countryside.
Even if a building is destroyed, it can be rebuilt in the future.
It's all about winning.
"It's okay to send troops, but I don't know how many troops Your Highness intends to send?" Yao Guangxiao asked.
The total number of troops defending Youzhou now is only a little over 350,000.
