Cheng Jing lowered his eyelids slightly, and said solemnly, "The lord sent the former old lieutenant to attack the grain line of Xingcheng in Hu County, although he successfully burned the enemy's 50,000 stone military rations, but he also startled the snake, how could Liu Xi take it lightly? ”

Regarding Xu Pei's request, Cheng Jing is personally not optimistic.

Xu Pei and Jiang Pengji fought on the Qichuan Plain, which did attract most of the troops, but this did not mean that Huang Song could easily go behind enemy lines without any risk. The long-distance march is secondary, and I am afraid that Jiang Pengji will react quickly, but it will cut off the back road of Huang Song's main force.

Hu County is a large grain-producing county, and this is still the main supply channel of Jiang Pengji's army's grain line, how can there be no garrison?

Huang Song and Xu Pei formed an alliance, but they would not put themselves to death for the sake of an ally.

This seems to be a bargaining job, but in fact it is thankless.

I don't know who gave Xu Pei such an idea, this is too much of a pit for allies.

Huang Song didn't understand what Cheng Jing said, but he shirked the first time he cooperated with Xu Pei, which is not good.

They are allied because of their interests and positions, and there is no basis for trust at all, and this relationship seems iron, but in fact it is also fragile.

There is no basis for trust, which means that there are enough interests on the outside to divide their alliance from within.

Even if they can't be divided, the so-called alliance is useless.

"That's true, but how can you push this off without hurting the friendship of allies?" Huang Song asked him.

Cheng Jing said, "Either you have told the truth, or you can send troops to feign an attack on Hu County and make a show." ”

"According to the truth, it has been reported?" Huang Song didn't react for a while.

Cheng Jing said, "Naturally, it was the matter of the former school captain cutting off the grain. ”

Huang Song has already deployed troops to rob other people's grain roads, and if he robs them again in a short time, will they be defenseless?

This is not a sneak attack, this is a rush to give people heads.

Huang Song frowned in embarrassment, but did not directly say whether it was good or bad.

At the same time, the Qichuan Plain was also in full swing.

Jiang Pengji took Northern Xinjiang and Cangzhou, barely wealthy and wealthy, and suddenly established a group of cavalry.

The Qichuan Plain is an open terrain, which is extremely suitable for cavalry wandering and scattering or heavy cavalry charging and cutting.

She has always been stingy with her own private treasury, not to mention her wife, she even took out the coffin book to strengthen the army.

As soon as the two soldiers and horses started a war, Xu Pei undoubtedly lost the upper hand, and he was not an opponent in either frontal or mobile combat.

Han Yu, who was closed at home, heard about this, where could he still sit still?

"Liu Xi occupies the two major horse farms in Northern Xinjiang and Cangzhou, and there are plenty of war horses under her tent, who will give you the courage to start a war with her in the Qichuan Plain?"

When Han Yu received the news, he was making tea in the courtyard, and he was so angry that he knocked over the tea stove and almost burned his hand.

Upon careful inquiry, this stupid idea was actually proposed by a certain strategist under Xu Pei's account.

If we can defeat the enemy army head-on, our morale will definitely be greatly boosted.

This strategist Han Yu also knows, the book theory is solid, but the practical experience is almost zero, which can be regarded as another piece of paper.

While the other party made a suggestion, he also came up with his own reasons.

At first glance, those reasons make sense.

It was not that the strategist had not thought about the problem of cavalry, but Jiang Pengji had taken Cangzhou for less than half a year, and it was worth a year to conquer northern Xinjiang, so how strong could a cavalry team be established in such a short time? The cost of cultivating cavalry is very large, not only burning money but also burning time.

Moreover, no matter how strong the cavalry is, if there are not many of them, it is not difficult to deal with them.

Excluding the advantage of cavalry, the difference in the combat power of the two sides should not be large, and the Qichuan Plain is their main battlefield, and it may not be impossible to win.

Xu Pei and the others thought of everything, but the only thing they didn't expect was the time when Jiang Pengji trained the cavalry.

In order to deal with the northern frontier, she began the formation of the cavalry battalion a few years ago, which was not a year or half a year as everyone thought.

In the first battle in the northern frontier, the number of cavalry under her account was not large, not because of clumsiness but because the supply of war horses was not enough.

Later, when Northern Xinjiang and Cangzhou were taken, the number of war horses went up, and the cavalry battalion expanded several times at once.

After losing the first battle, Xu Pei had to send someone to pull out Han Yu, who was squatting at home and growing mushrooms.

As soon as Han Yu came over, he asked Xu Pei to withdraw his troops and chose to retreat to the mountain pass, so as to curb the cavalry advantage.

Cavalry is not omnipotent, but ordinary infantry against cavalry requires a lot of preparation, and also needs reasonable terrain to cooperate in order to form effective combat power, such as mountains, woods and canyons and other places, the combat effectiveness and survivability of cavalry will be greatly reduced.

The Qichuan Plain is vast, it is simply a paradise for cavalry, not to mention that there is a heavy cavalry battalion under Liuxi's tent, and no matter how tightly defended your own army formation is, it can't withstand the combined impact of thousands of heavy cavalry. Instead of choosing a frontal battlefield, it is better to retreat and use the terrain to stabilize the military situation.

Han Yu is cautious by nature, if this battle is handed over to him at the beginning, even if he doesn't know the enemy's strength, he will choose the safest way to play, and then find a way to expand the results after stabilization. Greed will only lead to a situation from which you will never recover.

His choice was a slap in the face of the previous advisor.

However, Xu Pei values Han Yu now, and he can't even speak sourly.

Han Yu didn't know the other party's mood, he only cared about the battlefield situation, such as the losses in the previous battle.

Xu Pei withdrew his troops and retreated, and Yang Si knew that Han Yu had come out again.

"Didn't he shut himself up at home, and he became confined?"

Han Yu specializes in Yang Si, and when he meets this guy, Yang Si really doesn't have any temper at all.

Qin Gong said, "Han Yu is Xu Pei's most relied on strategist, and the two have a little conflict, but they won't be frozen forever." Ordinary couples also fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, not to mention that this battle is very important. No matter how much trouble Han Yu has in his heart, he can't sit idly by. ”

Yang Si, who was originally angry, was speechless.

Qin Gong's straightforward metaphor gave him the illusion that he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Yang Si didn't speak, and Qin Gong asked bluntly, "Military Division, could it be that the last general said something wrong?"

"No-" Yang Si put down his hand and coughed lightly, "It makes sense." ”

Qin Gong asked, "What should I do now?" Xu Pei's army retreated, and there were mountains, forests, and hills nearby. ”

Xu Pei and the others are here, and the cavalry combat power is equivalent to being abolished, unless there is a way to lure them out.

Of course, the other way is to force the attack, so that the casualties will rise.

Just as Yang Si was hesitating, the messengers came with the news that their lord had dispatched troops and horses to the front line.

Yang Si: "......"

It's not—

The lord finally settled down for a while, why did he suddenly come to the front again?

If the lord wants to show his strength in the siege battle, how can he persuade him!

"It's cold, it's cold—"

Yang Si muttered.

Qin Gong asked, "What's cold?"

"I'm cold!"

Yang Si's heart was down, don't care about other things first, go to meet his father-in-law first.
