Chapter 1995 Changshan mutation, three-party strategy
The Youbei desert area is sparsely populated and the distance between each other is hundreds of miles, sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles. Therefore, in order to convey the news and prevent the Xianbei people from discovering it, Sima Yi adopted a method similar to Based on the mode of the beacon tower, the message is transmitted in a specific time period with light and fire.
Of course, this mode also has very big limitations, such as heavy fog, or encountering rainy days, but it is indeed much more convenient than running back and forth with manpower, at least in terms of timeliness, it will be much better.
The rainy season on the grasslands will have to wait until March, and the weather is relatively clear now, and because of the small ice river, perhaps the cold will continue and the rainy season will be delayed.
Because of the poor communication channels, even if the Xianbei people or Cao Jun found out that Feiqian''s scouts were wearing something similar to auspicious clothes, the opponent''s scouts would often think that these guys were weird or cunning, but everyone Most don''t want to report it, and even seldom imitate it.
After all, in ancient times, Han people were not the only ones who did not change their names or surnames. Hu people also sometimes insisted on sticking to it. As a result, the scouts under the hussars did have a greater advantage in covering their whereabouts.
When the changes of Cao Jun and Xianbei people reached Zhao Yun and Sima Yi, Sima Yi laughed and clapped his hands, "It''s done!" 』
Although Zhao Yun said that his face was still calm, there was a faint brilliance in his eyes.
It is really difficult to do this step.
The army of the big Han, whether it is the Cao army or the hussars, is better at positional warfare, pays attention to the integrity of the formation, and exerts the effect of one plus one greater than two in the form of a team, while the Xianbei people in the desert are accustomed to mobile warfare. Or it is similar to a melee, often chasing, only to find that the one who had escaped suddenly appeared on the flank...
Therefore, if the Xianbei people and Cao Jun are together, it will be relatively troublesome, because it is necessary to guard against the attack of Cao Jun''s array and the fake retreat of the Xianbei people. Avoidable losses should be avoided as much as possible, so separating the Xianbei people from Cao Jun is undoubtedly the best way.
At the same time, the geographical distance will also bring about the psychological gap. Even in later generations, there is still a psychological gap between urban and rural people, not to mention Cao Jun and Xianbei, who were not so harmonious in the first place?
"Next..." Sima Yi turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, "It''s up to General Zhao..."
Zhao Yun nodded, and said: "So, I will follow Zhongda''s strategy... However, Zhongda should still be careful here..."
Sima Yi bowed and cupped his hands, "My subordinates understand. 』
This is a big stage, and Sima Yi is going to rely solely on the strength of Zhao Yun''s headquarters to solve the problem in Youbei. After Zhao Yun got all of Sima Yi''s plans, he thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed with Sima Yi''s strategy, and reported it to the Hussar General''s Mansion , and got approved...
Although in a certain respect, Liu He and the Wuhuan people can be regarded as Zhao Yun''s allies, but in fact, no one can guarantee that the loyalty of these allies will not fluctuate all the time, and pin the hope of victory on the allies. In the army, it is undoubtedly the behavior of being bald and strong. Being strong requires one''s own strength, and even needs to let the allies know that they are not that important. These talents will be more willing to bow their heads instead of jumping up. West an idea.
Therefore, Sima Yi is going to stir up the northern part of Youzhou, and the waves are turbulent. In a sense, Sima Yi wants to solve the Youzhou problem as much as possible. Although he may not be able to solve the problem once and for all, he is a little tired of these Xianbei people up.
Although Sima Yi is doing well here, he still feels that it would be better and more comfortable for him to stay in Chang''an. After all, Sima Yi didn''t have any idea of ??being willing to dedicate his life to the frontier, even if he did, he would let others go, he didn''t want to go.
Zhao Yun and Sima Yi had already discussed, so they left first.
Si Mayi stood beside the map, looking at the map on the table.
Undoubtedly, for the entire Youzhou, Cao Jun located in Yuyang is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. After all, Cao Jun has no retreat.
Xianbei people can flee to Baishuiheishan. In that area, it is a more troublesome thing for Han people. Unless it is really necessary, it is not worth going to the mountains to search and chase. So if Xianbei people really feel that they can''t beat them, they You can retreat, Sima Yi is too lazy to chase.
The same is true for the Liaodong Army. The distance from Changshan to Liaodong is indeed too far. There is no intermediate node. Even if it is called, it is difficult to effectively control it.
So in the final analysis, it is still Yuyang.
Yuyang has iron and salt, and it has been an important military town since the Han Dynasty. If the Cao army loses Yuyang, it is almost equivalent to losing control of Youzhou, and at the same time it will lose the only source of war horses. The retreat, at least.
Because there are few ways to retreat, Cao Jun will be timid, especially after he was cut by Hussar General Fei Qian in Yuzhou once, and realized the gap between the two sides...
And these are opportunities.
Sima Yi looked at the map, smiled slightly, and then moved his hands above the map, as if holding invisible chess pieces, simulating the situation in Youbei.
…(*)=3…
Since the attack on Cao Jun''s grain transport team, the Dingling people have not been dispatched again.
After the Xianbei people took away the hundred war horses, they knew more or less that the Ding Ling people were unhappy, so they didn''t continue to ask the Ding Ling people to attack, so the Ding Ling people rarely stationed on the flank of the Budugen royal court in Mobei.
Because Ding Lingren''s performance during this period also convinced Bu Dugen and other Xianbei people that Ding Lingren was more or less obedient and reliable, so they didn''t have any special suspicion about Ding Lingren.
『Boss, what shall we do next? 』
The odd man glanced squintingly at the side, which is the direction of Budugen Royal Court, "Wait a minute..."
"hold on? 』
『Mm…』Ding Lingling nodded. Up to now, the leader of Ding Ling has not seen any Han Chinese in the hussars showing the power to destroy Budugen. On the contrary, there seem to be many people in Budugen''s royal court.
Could it be that the news of being beaten is fake?
In the desert, whether a tribe is strong or not depends on how many people there are. Seeing the leader Ding Ling who still seemed to have so many people in the Budugen royal court, he was naturally a little bit hesitant to make up his mind. Of course, this is because the leader of Ding Ling didn''t know how many people there were in the original Budugen royal court. After all, in this era, if you can figure out the number within ten, you can be a long time, and so on. It is impossible to make all the people in the Budugen Royal Court unable to walk, or to come out to count something, so it can only be roughly estimated based on the area occupied, and the Xianbei Royal Court obviously occupies The land is not small.
However, when a few orderlies passed by almost crazily, they immediately attracted everyone''s attention...
Immediately, Budugen summoned the big and small leaders, including Dingling, and announced a horrifying event, "The Huns in Yinshan rebelled!" 』
Bu Dugen''s face was flushed. If it wasn''t for maintaining his own dignity, he would even have laughed three times, and then said something like "There is also today" or "Longevity has eyes" to vent these moments. day of depression.
『The Southern Huns rebelled? Why? 』
『What’s so strange about this? Don’t all Han people look the same? It must be bullying and greed, the Southern Huns can''t bear it anymore...』
『This is really great...Uh, I’m not saying that it’s good for the Southern Huns to be oppressed, but that this is a good opportunity for us...』
Hearing the news, there was an uproar in the Xianbei king''s tent, everyone was expressing their thoughts, chirping into chaos. Budugen obviously didn''t intend to directly ban these people from discussing, and even somewhat enjoyed this time...
The northern and southern Xiongnu split, and the southern Xiongnu was more inclined to the Han Dynasty, but it does not mean that they all kept their own place and were honest. In 94 AD, the Southern Xiongnu had a large-scale rebellion, and then in 109, the Southern Xiongnu even united with the Xianbei and Wuhuan, a large-scale looting of the five counties in the northern border of the Han Dynasty.
Even in the period of Emperor Han Ling, there was a split within the Southern Huns, and the struggle between those who were friendly to the Han Dynasty and those who opposed the Han Dynasty led to the death of Qiangqu Shanyu.
Even after being classified under the hussars, there was also the Huchuquan rebellion. Although it was suppressed in the end, most Xianbei people believed that the Southern Huns must not be convinced, so the rebellion was a very serious matter. Normal things, although a little unexpected, are still within reason.
"The key is..." As soon as Bu Dugen opened his mouth, everyone immediately closed their mouths. This obviously made Bu Dugen very satisfied, and then he looked around slowly before continuing, "That damned Han general, take the troops to rush The rebellion has been suppressed... Then it means that now, the Han Chinese camp in Changshan is at its weakest...』
As soon as Budugen finished speaking, there was another commotion!
For most Xianbei people, Zhao Yun''s psychological shadow is undoubtedly the biggest, but now that Zhao Yun has left, it is like sneaking a peek at a child whose parents go to work. To dance up.
『Is this... this news... true? ’ Chief Ding Ling couldn’t help asking.
Budugen glanced at Ding Lingling with some displeasure, "I have a reliable source..."
Bu Dugen naturally couldn''t tell all about his dispatch of undercover agents, and he felt that this should be his own trump card, and when he needed to use it, it would definitely make those Han people suffer a lot!
Budugen spoke very confidently, and the rest of the people could naturally sense it, and they became excited almost immediately, as if they had avenged their revenge, conquered the camp of the Han people, and enjoyed the taste of victory!
Budugen slightly raised his hand, "And! We can also let those Han Chinese in the south cooperate with us! 』
『Those Han Chinese? Those Han people are probably not willing to follow us to fight Changshan…” Someone raised an objection.
Budugen nodded, and said calmly, "So they will definitely be willing to fight those Wuhuan people who have betrayed us!" 』
…(σ｀д′)σ…
After sending away the shameless Xianbei people, Cao Chun hesitated and wavered.
The hesitation is because I don’t know whether it’s true or not, and the wavering is because I feel like some turned serfs are singing...
What if it is fake?
But what if it is true?
Based on the city, Cao Chun still has some basic ideas in his heart, but if he goes out to fight in the city, if he doesn’t bring mosquito repellent... er, without some adequate preparations, Cao Chun will also feel a little flustered...
The situation in Youbei is like a vortex, and Cao Chun, who is in the center of the vortex, naturally has to bear more and greater pressure. Xianbei people, are Xianbei people trustworthy?
Cao Chun also felt that it was too much.
But now the Xianbei people are yelling "This game is stable!" 』The ferocious momentum and the powerful voice made Cao Chun seem to have a little more expectation in his heart. Maybe... is this game really stable?
If Zhao Yun really left the Changshan camp and went to Yinshan to suppress the rebellion, then it would indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the hussar base in Changshan. Even if the hussars wanted to rebuild, it might not be easy. At least two or three years can be bought for Cao Cao. After all, time is precious now, and it is difficult to understand it without being in it.
What should I do?
The Xianbei people wanted to attack Changshan. It seemed that they were eager to avenge the last attack by Zhao Yun, but they were also worried about their own flanks, so they asked Cao Chun to attack Liu He, at least to restrain Liu He from threatening the Xianbei people.
If Cao Chun does not move, then it is likely to affect the Xianbei people, making the Xianbei people care about their heads and tails, and may eventually lead to missed opportunities. Then Cao Chun also lost the pitiful tacit trust with the Xianbei people here , will end up alone and helpless...
But attack? This trip is not close.
Liu He is also in the northern part of Youzhou, but he is basically with the Wuhuan people. Because the Wuhuan people have just experienced a major split, the number of people has naturally decreased, and they are recharging their energy. too moving.
After thinking about it, Cao Chun finally invited Jushou to help him with advice.
Comparatively speaking, Jushou was more stable, because he was relatively objective. After listening to Cao Chun’s concerns, he basically understood Cao Chun’s thoughts.
This kind of opportunity is like getting a good deck of cards on the gambling table, holding it in your hand, and wanting to win a big one, but because you don''t have many chips, you are naturally worried about gains and losses, and at the same time, you are also afraid of what you actually have in your hand. The card looks big, but it may not be the biggest in the end...
『You can wait for the change...』Ju Shou said slowly, 『If this is true, the Xianbei people will definitely be anxious and will be the first to send troops...』
『But…』Cao Chun’s complexion was a little pale, his eyes were darkened, he tossed and turned last night, thinking about it all night, he didn’t sleep well, 『If it’s from Xianbei…』
Ju Shou said slowly: "If the Changshan camp really mobilizes troops back to aid, even if the horse is fast, it will take about ten days to reach Yinshan, and at least 20 days to go back and forth... If there is a rebellion in Yinshan, and Changshan needs to be dispatched, it will not be an instant It can be calmed down... Even if the soldiers are at peace, it will take three to five days. In this way, it can be as little as a month, as long as a month and a half, or even more... Why can''t we wait two more days? 』
Cao Chun walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back, then nodded, "What the military adviser said is very true..."
"If Xianbei really wants to attack Changshan, Wuhuan is the only thing to worry about. He is afraid that he will sneak attack on the flanks, and he will not be able to return..." Jushou continued, "However, Wuhuan is now divided into two, and its momentum is slightly weak. Even if it has an alliance with hussars, They did not dare to brazenly send troops to stop the Xianbei people... Therefore, the Wuhuan people dispatched must be after the Xianbei people passed by...』
"Yes indeed! 』Cao Chun clapped his hands.
Do the Wuhuan people dare to block the Xianbei people by themselves?
If the Xianbei people received false news that the Yinshan rebellion was nothing, it means that the Changshan camp is still strong, so the Wuhuan people naturally have the confidence to cooperate, but if the Changshan camp is empty, then the Wuhuan people will Are you willing to risk your life and stand in front of Hussars?
It is obviously impossible, so based on the actions of the Wuhuan people, some conclusions can be generally drawn. Although they are not necessarily correct, they can also be used as a reference.
『Xianbei people want to cross Wuhuan, there must be partial troops to suppress it! At that time, it is not too late for the general to send troops again..." Ju Shou said slowly, "If Changshan is really empty, after the general defeats Wuhuan, he can naturally merge one place and severely damage the hussars... If Changshan is deceitful, the general will also Defeating Wuhuan and losing the wings of the hussars is not a loss...』
Cao Chun was stunned, and laughed, "Indeed! The military division is really serious about defending the center, which is wonderful! Wonderful! 』
Cao Chun waved his fist excitedly, and then remembered something: "It''s just that the Xianbei people don''t want to..."
That’s right, Jushou basically used the Xianbei people as gunmen, and Cao Chun played as an assistant to take advantage of it. Naturally, there was not much risk, but the Xianbei people were not so stupid, and they might not be willing to let Cao Chun take advantage all the way.
"Let''s just say that we don''t have enough food and grass... It will take some time to prepare one or two..." Jushou said with a smile, "Send some armor and utensils, and just say a few good words..." Jushou said, to fool the Xianbei people, the next is expert.
Cao Chun was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. Isn''t the incident of accidental injury that was annoyed before now the best reason? The Xianbei people were helpless, and then got some soldiers and armor, so naturally they could only recognize it...
『So, according to the opinion of the military adviser, who can lead the attack? ’ Cao Chun asked again.
Ju Shou glanced at Cao Chun, then lowered his eyelids, and said, "This is just a staff plan... As for the deployment in the army, it''s up to the general to decide, so it''s inconvenient for me to say more..."
Zhang He and Jushou are considered old colleagues. If Jushou recommends Zhang He, who can guarantee that Cao Chun will not have the fine traditions of the old Cao family? I began to wonder if Zhang He and Jushou had an affair? So Jushou simply refused the suggestion, but in fact, would Cao Chun feel confident that he would lead the attack and leave Zhang He and Jushou in Yuyang?
Cao Chun pretended to ponder for a while, and then said: "Jun Yi has civil and military skills, and he can be worthy of a great job... I don''t know what the military adviser thinks?" 』
『It''s all thanks to the general''s deployment, and I have no opinion. ’ said Ju Shou, cupping his hands.
Cao Chun clapped his hands, "Good! That''s how to reply to Xianbei! Ling Junyi is ready to march into Wuhuan at any time! 』
