Changyi in the north of the Liang Country, where the main forces of the Han Dynasty were stationed!
In the central commander's camp!
"Generals, in the past month, we have finally figured out the grain transportation route of the Wuchu rebels. The Wuchu rebels have placed their granaries in Dongyang, which is heavily guarded by the Wuchu troops.”
"However, there is a place that the Wu and Chu countries must pass through when transporting grain, and that is Huai Sikou, which is located at the intersection of Huai River and Si River!”
Zhou Yafu pointed at a map and spoke to the core officers with a serious expression.
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Tian Meng.
Zhou Yafu was shocked as he looked at Tian Kui. When he was discussing the war with Tian Kui, Tian Kui had already pointed out the weakness of the Wu and Chu rebels. He even boldly guessed that the Wu and Chu allied forces would pass through Huai Sikou when transporting grain.
Now, it was as he had expected!
"Although Huai Sikou is located in the rear of the Wuchu rebels, it is not impossible to seize it. As long as we can seize Huai Sikou and cut off the grain route of the Wuchu rebels, the Wuchu rebels will definitely fall into chaos!”
Zhou Yafu stared at the generals.
Many of the generals looked at Zhou Yafu seriously. They knew that the Grand Commandant was about to make his move.
Tian Meng was also a little happy. After staying in the army for more than a month, the army was finally going to make a move. Moreover, it was not an ordinary move, but a fatal blow.
The grain transportation route of the Wu and Chu rebel forces was very long. Usually, a raid to destroy or intercept a place was not enough to completely cut off the grain transportation of the rebel forces.
However, Huai Sikou was different. Huai Sikou was a place that the Wu and Chu rebels had to pass through when transporting their rations across the Huai River. As long as they captured that place, the rebel army's rations would be completely cut off!
It was impossible to open up other grain transportation routes in a short period of time!
"Generals, I have decided to send a light cavalry army to take a detour and attack Huai Sikou, completely cutting off the supply routes of the Wu and Chu rebels!”
Zhou Yafu stared at the core generals of the army and said in a deep voice.
After he finished speaking!
"Grand Commandant, this general is willing to personally lead the light cavalry!”
"Grand Commandant, I'm willing to go!"
"Grand Commandant, leave this matter to me. I will definitely not disappoint you!”
A
few generals in the tent spoke first, hoping to lead the army there.
Seeing this, Tian Meng's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything!
He was now a deputy general, the lowest position among the generals. Emperor Jing of Han's original intention was to let him follow Zhou Yafu in the army to gain knowledge and experience.
Now, he was favored by Zhou Yafu because of his martial arts and extraordinary knowledge. It was already not bad for him to become a core general in the army.
With his current age, qualifications, and reputation, and especially his lack of experience in leading an army in battle, if he wanted to become a general and lead an army alone, not only would Zhou Yafu be worried, but even the other generals would have great objections.
Moreover, his current goal was not to become the main commander in one step... As he
thought about it, he subconsciously looked at an old general who was about 40 to 50 years old.
Not only did Tian Kong look at him, Zhou Yafu also looked at him.
Very soon, Zhou Yafu spoke up,
"Generals, there's no need to fight. There's still fighting to come!”
"This time, I hope that General Han will lead the army. What do you think, General Han?”
Zhou Yafu looked at the old general with respect.
This old general was none other than the current Gonggao Marquis Han Tuidang!
Who is Gong Gao Hou Han Tui?
He was the descendant of Han Wangxin (not Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin) in the early Han Dynasty. Han Wangxin was mistrusted and suspected by Liu Bang, so he rebelled against the Han Dynasty and joined the Xiongnu. During the process of escaping to the Xiongnu, his concubine gave birth to a child in Tuidang City, named Han Tuidang, which was now Han Tuidang.
Later, after Han Wangxin's death, Han Tuidang and his nephew Han Ying (the son of Han Wangxin's crown prince and born in Tuidang City) led all their subordinates to surrender to the Han Dynasty and were conferred the title of Gonggao Marquis by Emperor Wen.
When he surrendered, Han Tui was the prime minister of the Xiongnu, and his status was already extraordinary.
After surrendering, he had been a general in the court for many years. He was a general with extraordinary prestige, experience, and status.
This time, the seven kingdoms were in rebellion. Han Tui was ordered by the Emperor to participate in the suppression of the rebellion. As one of the thirty-six generals, he led all his subordinates to obey Zhou Yafu.
As Han Tuidang grew up in the grasslands and drank goat's milk, he was skilled in archery and riding. Most of his subordinates were elite cavalry, and they were good at commanding cavalry. It was best for him to be the general in charge of this battle.
"The Grand Marshal has an order, and the Generals will obey!”
Han Tui, whose hair had already turned white, did not hesitate at all. He cupped his fists and spoke seriously. He also knew the importance of this battle.
"Good!"
Zhou Yafu looked at him and nodded. He then looked at Tian Meng and said,
"As for the deputy general, Deputy General Tian, I appoint you as the deputy general of this army. You will lead the army south with General Han to cut off the rebel army's grain supply!”
Tian Meng had been waiting for Zhou Yafu's words.
With his experience and reputation, he could not be the general of the army, but he could be the deputy general!
For this reason, he had mentioned this matter to Zhou Yafu when he was discussing the military situation with him.
"I accept your orders!"
Tian Meng said in a deep voice. How could he not grab this great opportunity to make a contribution?
Zhou Yafu nodded slightly.
If he had just joined the army, he would never have made such a young deputy general the deputy general of the army. However, over the past month, the other party's talent and foresight had shocked him.
If it weren't for the other party's qualifications, reputation, and experience, he would have even made the other party the main general!
"General Han, in addition to your generals, I will transfer another twenty thousand light cavalry to you. The two of you must completely cut off the supply routes of the Wu and Chu rebels!”
Zhou Yafu looked at Han Tuidang as he spoke to Tian Meng.
"Yes, I will not disappoint you!”
Han Tuidang and Tian Meng cupped their fists and said solemnly.
The two of them knew very well that their actions were related to the overall situation of the war.
If they succeeded, they would have a great chance of winning this war and would have made a great contribution. If they were defeated, the Han army would be even more passive, and they would inevitably be punished!
