Chapter 633: The Heart Longs for It
Returning to Gao Yuan in the pioneer city, she still felt very depressed, He Lanyan followed her to the Hetao, and she knew that she had a heart, this woman had followed her brother since she was a child, and most of her life was spent on war horses, and the battlefield was no different from ordinary life for her, and the war that ordinary people couldn't avoid seemed to her, but for her, it had an extraordinary attraction.
This is a woman who can't be idle at all, and she can't live a peaceful life.
But now her identity is different, she is not only the little princess of the Helan clan anymore, but also an important link between the Xiongnu and Zhengdongfu, and more importantly, she is his wife, as a man, Gao Yuan naturally does not want his woman to still go to the battlefield with a knife to fight and fight for her life.
War is a man's business, even if it comes from an era of highly developed civilization, this point, in Gao Yuan's heart, is still unchangeable.
After detaining He Lanyan in Jishi City for more than a year, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. This time, she took the four hundred black-clothed guards who had been trained by herself to try their skills in Dayan City, which not only did not quench her hunger and thirst, but aroused her desire for war even more.
Xu Yuan is her confidant and favorite general, He Lanyan must not dare to go to Xu Yuan first, but ran to Yan Peng to lobby, but she also didn't want to think about it, Yan Peng is who is also a person, that is the former county lord of Hejian County, the eldest son of Yan Shenghao, who was the deputy councilor of Zhengdong Mansion first, has a family background, and he also guessed his thoughts very accurately, although he also coveted He Lanyan's four hundred black-clothed guards, but he would never agree to He Lanyan's request. Hates Xu Yuan, who seems to be wise, but in fact he is not, he was played by He Lanyan, and now that the wood is in a boat, if he forcibly detains He Lanyan back, he is afraid that the backyard will catch fire immediately.
Helan Yan's temperament. If you really want to quarrel, you are really helpless. It's okay, I can only tell Xu Yuan, you must protect it well, Helan Yan will never have an accident.
I didn't feel comfortable, so I didn't bother to go out of the city to inspect, but nested in the house to sort out the pieces of text transferred from Jishi City, and suddenly, an afternoon passed like this.
It was dark early, and the depressed Gao Yuan was at dinnertime. couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, the hateful Xu Yuan, as the garrison general of the Pioneer City, actually hid far away, and did not show up all afternoon, calling someone to ask, this kid actually went out of the city and crossed the river to inspect Chen Bin's station.
The inspection of bullshit made it clear that he wanted to hide from himself, for fear that he would settle accounts after the fall and find trouble with him.
The stall is big. Everyone has their own ideas, but it is not as good as when they were soldiers before, Sun Xiao and the others obeyed their words and made a look at themselves. Then they will know what they think, what is like now?
Gao Yuan shook his head, this is the price of development, now the Northern Field Army is facing Donghu. The First and Second Armies were at the forefront, and the subordinate generals tried to strengthen themselves in order to make a name for themselves in the ensuing war. It's also a no-brainer.
Thinking of Sun Xiao, Gao Yuan's heart couldn't help but move, from the battle of Dayan City, he fully saw Sun Xiao's lack of ability to grasp the overall situation, as a commander of a group army, Sun Xiao lacked a lot, is it a change of general?
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and put the idea aside,
The four field armies under his command, Helanxiong is irreplaceable, because he needs to set up the Hun banner of Helanxiong to attract more Huns to his command, besides, by Meng Chong and his partner, he can rest assured, from the current point of view, the effect is excellent, although Helanxiong is not good at large group operations, fortunately, he is lying and admonishing, and the planning of large-scale operations is completely handed over to Meng Chong to do, which makes Meng Chong's control over the Eastern Field Army. is stronger than He Lanxiong, the justifiable commander of the group army. The two restrain each other and just make a couple.
And Ye Chong, Ye Zhen, both of them are from the Ye family, with a profound background, a strong sense of the overall situation, and their own skills are also hard, and they can be regarded as their own retainers, and their loyalty is beyond doubt.
Although Sun Xiao is not capable, he is the leader of the civilian generals under his command, Yan Haibo, infantry, Naha, although they now belong to different group armies, there is no doubt that they are all headed by Sun Xiao, and he can't chill the hearts of these people. Although Sun Xiao's ability is slightly lacking, now that he is in charge of the Northern Group Army, he can help him cover up this, so let him sit in Dayan City, or do his old job. When he took Donghu, he let him sit in Dayan City and pass through the Hetao and part of Liaodong for himself.
Sun Xiao's loyalty is assured, and handing over this granary in his own planning to him can also make people no longer worry, and after taking Liaodong, if he expands his power outward, the enemy is not too strong, and he should be competent.
Donghu, the top priority is to conquer Donghu! Thinking of this, Gao Yuan's head couldn't help but feel a faint pain, Yuwen Ke was defeated and returned, and the lord of Donghu, Thorpe, was furious, and he had already deprived Yu Wenke of a qiē position, and instead appointed Yan Qi as the general of the Hetao camp, and gathered several nearly 50,000 cavalry, ready to re-enter the Hetao. And among them, Gao Yuan had a headache because of the 50,000 cavalry, there were as many as 5,000 palace guards.
In the entire Donghu, there are only 30,000 palace guards, in addition to the 20,000 people who guard the town and the forest, another 5,000 people, stationed in the area between the white mountains and black waters, the origin of the Donghu power.
It seems that Thorpe has really begun to deal with himself seriously this time, and his current strength in the Hetao does not have any advantage, and the entire Northern Army Group is now only about 30,000 people. Among them, Xu Yuan commanded more than 15,000 people, Yan Peng commanded more than 10,000 people, and Sun Xiao's headquarters in Dayan City directly under the army was only 5,000 people. And the cavalry is only more than 5,000 horsemen, and this has to count his red-clothed guards and Helanyan's more than 400 black-clothed guards.
In terms of strength, Donghu still has a huge advantage, and it is no wonder that everyone, including Tan Feng, is not optimistic about his move to conquer the east.
Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, everyone wanted to wait for their defeat to beat the water dogs.
Despite this, Gao Yuan was not discouraged at all, he was not without advantages in the Hetao, the Pioneer City, the Tongwan City, has been stuck in the Hetao like two nails, the Donghu people want to defeat themselves, first have to take human lives to fill these two cities, not to mention, in front of the two cities, there is a Liao River. If you want to cross the river, wait for the water to turn red.
Compared with its own key operations on the west bank of the Liaohe River, on the east bank, the Eastern Army adopted the tactics of mixing sand, with one fort every ten miles, and dozens to a hundred troops stationed inside, not many people, but the weapons are the best, grind! This is Gao Yuan's strategy on the east coast, Yan Qi wants to completely control the east coast, so he has to uproot these forts one by one, and the price of uprooting these forts must make his heart ache.
These soldiers on the east bank are actually equivalent to outcasts, their only role is to use them to consume Donghu's troops, fighting on the plains, I am afraid that five to ten infantry can be exchanged for one cavalry on the other side, but with forts and sharp weapons, one infantry can even exchange the lives of several cavalrymen. It's a good deal.
He invested 3,000 troops on the east coast, under the unified command of Chen Bin under Xu Yuan, I believe that with Chen Bin's ability, he will not fail to see the mystery inside, but this person took over the task without hesitation, but he is also a person, if he completes the task well this time, this person can be promoted heavily.
Gao Yuan felt that as his status became higher and higher, his heart became more and more hardened, and the lives of the three thousand soldiers, he actually put them on the gambling table at will, gambling that they could consume more Donghu cavalry and deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
He rubbed his temples with a faint ache, and now he can finally deeply understand this sentence. For the 3,000 garrisons on the east coast, the only thing he could do was to send his cavalry to support their operations at the right time. With the preservation of the first bridge, he was able to enter and exit the east and west banks at will.
This year, Yan Qi is too late to launch an offensive, it would be good if he could set up the Hetao camp this year, Donghu Chuchuang, those armies from various ministries, he needs to use a lot of time to integrate, after the beginning of spring, it will be a contest between the two sides.
Thinking of the war last year, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, saying that he was much farther away from the Hetao Plain, but by the beginning of spring next year, he would be able to achieve food self-sufficiency, and no longer need long-distance supplies.
Compared with himself, Yan Qi's logistics completely require long-distance transportation, and the money and food consumed in this do not know how long the current Donghu can last.
Thorpe now realized that his determination to seize the Hetao Plain was too late, and he could drag it, but the Donghu people could not afford it. Every day the war stalemates, the balance of war tilts in its favor.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel proud again, ordinary people take one step at a time, people with vision take one step and see three steps, and themselves, take one step and see ten steps, naturally have the upper hand, and now they are a little impatient to fight with Yan Qi. Back then, in Liaoxi City, he had learned Yan Qi's personal force, and he abolished one of his hands, and now, he wants to teach him his ability to command troops again, but I don't know if he is worthy of the title of the first general of Donghu.
