Chapter 1423 Due to time
"Zhengxi''s generals..."
"Holding the skull through Yanjin..."
Xun Yu muttered, then sighed, and said, "Let Miaocai come back...Chunyu is dead, everything is a foregone conclusion..."
Xiahou Dun frowned and said, "Now that Taishi is exhausted, why did Wen Ruo say to withdraw his troops?"
"Although it is a tired soldier, its morale is strong..." Xun Yu shook his head and said, "If you really send troops to stop it, no matter whether you succeed or not, you will definitely lose a lot... Miaocai managed to accumulate three thousand cavalry now, Could it be that if you want to burn jade and stone here, you can''t do it? In this way, how can the lord use it to attack Xuzhou?"
This time, Xun Yu was completely unexpected.
Originally, Xun Yu calculated that even if Tai Shici could reach Yecheng, at least 20 to 30% of his combat power would be consumed on the way, and then there would be losses to some extent in the next battle in Yecheng, and even if Taishici could break through Yuan Jun''s obstruction and go Gui, I''m afraid only 20% to 30% of the 10% of the troops are left. In this way, it won''t waste much energy to deal with it...
Never expected that Tai Shici not only did not lose too much troops, but also beheaded Chunyu Qiong!
When the news reached Puyang, Xun Yu was writing a reply, and the pen he was holding almost fell on the table!
Thus, all the original plans need to be overturned and recalculated.
"Time cannot be violated..." Xun Yu looked up at the sky, his expression somewhat depressed and uncomfortable, "I remember that when Miaocai first led the cavalry, he told the lord that he wanted to expand the cavalry, what can I do... so now it is only three thousand... "
Before Xun Yu also knew the importance of cavalry in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, which are dominated by flat land, but due to limited conditions, he was doing his best to maintain 3,000 cavalry. All require expenses, and it is really unaffordable to support a larger cavalry scale.
But now it seems that in the process of using the cavalry to conquer the west, if the problem of food and grass can be solved, some counties along the way can indeed be ignored, and the depth of the prefectures and counties that are mostly flat land can be dealt a heavy blow!
Before doing such a tactic, two problems need to be solved, and these two problems are things that Xun Yu still can''t solve. The first is the restriction of food and grass supply, and the other is the damage of the war horse itself.
Grain and grass supply, it is inconvenient to carry too much, and the journey will be limited if you carry less. This time, the cavalry marched all the way from Luoyang to Yecheng. That little amount of food and grass was definitely not enough to last for a long time, but the Zhengxi cavalry didn''t carry a lot of luggage, and they were able to last for more than 20 days, which made Xun Yu puzzled.
"Or looting villages around Jizhou?" Xiahou Dun put forward an explanation.
Xun Yu nodded, shook his head again, and said: "There are many fortresses in Jizhou. If you rob them, you can deal with it for a while... But it''s too time-consuming, and the gain outweighs the loss..."
Before a new method of warfare or form of warfare emerges, most people will still use the old methods and old habits to operate. After all, the old tactics are relatively familiar and easy to operate, but when the new tactics show When it is in front of your eyes and you have successfully obtained the results of the battle, you will suddenly realize that there is such a method in war!
It’s like after World War II, there are still endless tactics, fixed-point leapfrog, aerial electronics, and then the melon-eaters next to me suddenly realized, oh, there is such a trick, hurry up and find a small book record…
This is basically the case for Xun Yu. When Xuchang first received the news of the cavalry dispatch to conquer the west, he thought he had paid enough attention to it. Unexpectedly, he still did not pay enough attention. He waited until Tai Shici successfully carried out a deep strike. It was discovered that the system that was thought to be able to rely on cities and counties for layer-by-layer defense was so vulnerable.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although there were war horses, they were used on vehicles at first. Later, under the leadership of Zhao Guo, other countries changed to riding horses alone, but still because of horseshoes and supplies, cavalry It has always been an auxiliary unit of infantry, and has not become the main force alone.
In the Han Dynasty, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the status of the cavalry was greatly improved because of the confrontation with the Huns, and they were officially separated from the infantry and could fight alone. It went downhill all the way, so no special cavalry tactics were developed until the appearance of General Fei Qian who conquered the west.
In this era, the population density is still limited, and most of them are concentrated around the cities. For infantry, it is really necessary to attack city by city to ensure the supply line of food and grass. The ability to fight in a suitable terrain and climate is indeed a great challenge to the original defense system.
"I thought that the lands of East Yanzhou and Chenliu were as stable as mountains, but now..." Xun Yu was silent for a moment, then said with a serious face, "But there are flaws everywhere... In the place of the Fourth World War, if there is no cavalry, It’s just the meat on the zu! I must tell my lord to fill the cavalry immediately!”
Xiahou Dun glanced at Xun Yu and said, "My lord has strategized and will win a thousand miles. There must be an official decision on this matter."
Xun Yu is such a smart person, he immediately understood what Xiahou Dun meant, so he immediately explained: "It''s not about reducing the number of other soldiers, it''s just about increasing the number of cavalry...My lord and son is also an official now, and it''s just right to lead an army alone..."
Because Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu are not in Wancheng, Cao Ang naturally has no Wancheng incident, so he is living well now. Cao Pi is still a kid and has not yet grown up.
Xun Yu said that Cao Ang would lead the newly added cavalry, and the soldiers of other generals and schools would not be reduced, so Xiahou Dun naturally had no opinion.
"So, Wen Ruo wanted to be wonderful before withdrawing his troops, but did he show his favor to Zhengxi? Do you want his war horse?" Xiahou Dun asked.
Xun Yu nodded and said: "At this time, at that time...the battle of Yecheng will inevitably endanger Jizhou, and there will be no war horses for sale. If we don''t show our favor to Zhengxi, we will cut off the source of war horses...Now we can only be That''s it..."
Beating a dog in the water is something that many people love to hear and have the courage to try, but if they find out that it is not a dog in the water, but a kun who has been diving, basically no one will continue foolishly. He rushed into the sea with a small bamboo pole.
"So, why not let Miaocai bring some things for the army..." Xiahoudun suggested, after all, Xiahouyuan is the only one who has more experience in cavalry commanding at the moment, "Maybe let Miaocai find out a little bit..."
"That''s what I mean..." Xun Yu nodded and said, then turned his gaze to the north, "Besides, we need to send people to Hanoi..."
"Wen Ruo said Zhang Hanei?" Xiahou Dun asked.
Xun Yu nodded, showing a hint of a smile: "Chunyu''s death horrified the world, Hanoi is not guilty? And Zhang Hanei is really a man, he has neither benevolence nor punishment, so he should be able to win over him." Let’s wait for the future effect...Since the east corner is lost, we might as well reap the mulberry elm..."
………………
Yanmen County.
Zhao Yun didn''t know that Tai Shici on the southern front had stirred up such a big scene, which even affected the change of the entire war tactics. However, even if he knew, Zhao Yun didn''t have the time to pay attention to it now, because the troops under his command now , Chaotic and complicated, like walking on a tightrope, this is no less than a great test for Zhao Yun.
The people are mixed, each has their own subordinates, plus they are not in the same way and have different minds, so it is not surprising that all kinds of weird things happen. Young Master Ci, it can even be said that some aspects are even more difficult than Taishi Ci. After all, under Taishi Ci, they are all soldiers who conquered the west, and they can be banned with one order, but here Zhao Yun...
The sky is not yet completely bright, and the mist covering the Yanmen grassland has not completely dissipated, and the people and horses are gradually waking up, but a fast horse disturbs the fog and breaks the tranquility of this piece.
The cruisers cruising outside the camp rushed up and shouted in a deep voice, "Who is here!"
"Someone is Xian Yu Yin!" The visitor replied, "There is an urgent military situation to report to General Zhao!"
The scouts went forward to meet him, checked and checked, then led Xian Yuyin towards Zhao Yun''s tent.
Before Xian Yuyin arrived at the tent, before the speed of the horse slowed down, he dismounted directly, rushed forward a few steps, and rushed to the entrance of the tent.
Zhao Yun had already been notified, and when he saw the situation, he beckoned to Xian Yuyin and let Xian Yuyin enter to talk.
The surrounding soldiers couldn''t help talking, not knowing what happened.
Xianyu Yin came back from the front.
Among the mixed troops ahead, it was pretty peaceful before, but something happened last night...
Last night, when a group of Wuhuan people were camping in the wild, they were attacked by a group of guys suspected of being Xianbei people. Nearly a hundred people died, and then their belongings and some women in the camp were taken away.
When Xianyufu and Xianyuyin heard the news, they led the Wuhuan people to search for traces and found the Xianbei people''s camp, but the Xianbei people denied it flatly. So Xian Yufu was also very helpless, on the one hand, he stayed to appease the Wuhuan people, and on the other hand, he sent Xian Yuyin to report to Zhao Yun.
What is this called!
We''ve only been together for a few days, and we''re doing something like this!
Although it is only a verbal alliance, it is also a friendly army after all! If the matter of attacking the friendly army is not dealt with, this temporarily assembled army will be considered to have come to an end!
Liu He got the news and hurried over. After hearing Xian Yuyin''s narration, he frowned and asked, "This matter is no small matter. Are you sure it was really done by Xianbei people?"
Xian Yuyin nodded and said, "Horseshoe prints can''t fool anyone! In addition, some people in the surrounding area saw these Xianbei **** go out last night...these guys must have done it!"
Liu He''s father, Liu Yu, once rescued Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, so the two Xianyu brothers also had respect for Liu He, especially respected, so Liu He also believed that what Xian Yuyin said was the truth, and turned his head Looking at Zhao Yun, he said, "General Zhao...this matter..."
Zhao Yun has been thinking about it. It''s not that he doesn''t believe in Xianyu Yin, because there is no need for Xianyu Yin to deceive Zhao Yun, it''s just that Zhao Yun can''t figure out why Xianbei people want to do this, and what is their purpose?
The more sudden the incident, the more calm you need to be. As a coach, one must maintain reason and calmness at all times, especially in the current situation with complicated personnel, if he is a little careless, he may be taken advantage of by others. Therefore, Zhao Yun once again asked Xian Yu in detail. Silver, I feel that things are indeed a little strange.
Killing people by hand is often for money. After all, beheading passers-by for no reason is mostly done by lunatics, but if you want to talk about how much money the Wuhuan people have, let alone Zhao Yun, even Xianyuyin is not detailed, so what is the reason why the Xianbei people are so rich? Do it?
woman?
There is also this possibility. However, women in the Han Dynasty did not emphasize chastity as pervertedly as later generations, let alone among the barbarians in the grassland and desert, so they did not need to use the most drastic means to seize the right to mate, and they did not hear about this group of Wuhuan What appears among people can make people fascinated by the stunning beauty...
people must have been killed, and related property, women and children must have been robbed, but these Xianbei people did it really just to kill and rob money, women and children?
"What is the situation of the Wuhuan people now?" Zhao Yun asked.
Xian Yuyin clasped his hands and said, "It''s very bad. Several Wuhuan heads gathered together, and the emotions were very intense. If my brother hadn''t tried his best to appease them, I''m afraid they would have gathered their troops and knocked on the door..."
Zhao Yun nodded slightly, and asked again: "Which tribe does this Xianbei belong to?"
"It should belong to King Zuoguli of Fuluo Han..." Xian Yuyin said, "Mostly, but not entirely, there should be people from other tribes..."
For the Xianbei people, many official positions still adopt the habits of the Huns. Even the left and right wise kings, the left and right Guli kings, and the left and right generals are all similarly configured. And Zuoguli King Fuluohan can be regarded as the brother of Xianbei King Budugen according to blood, so Fuluohan can also be regarded as a prominent figure among Xianbei people.
Could it be that Fu Luohan got involved in this kind of thing?
Or was Fu Luo Han instigated and planned behind the scenes?
There are not only Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, but also Huns here. Although they did not point to the Huns, is there any hidden secret?
Countless question marks are like bubbles in a deep pool, popping up one after another, and these things may affect the whole incident.
Liu He and Xian Yuyin were on the sidelines, they didn''t continue to say anything, but quietly waited for Zhao Yun''s final decision...
