Although he understands the stakes, Xiahou Xuan's mood is still terrible, you said that this Sun Quan did not send troops early or late, but when Xiahou Xuan was just sacrificing the flag and preparing to go to the battle, he suddenly made such a big moth, which made the ambitious Xiahou Xuan embarrassed.

Cao Liang secretly thought in his heart, although this time the attack of Eastern Wu was a full year earlier than in history, but in terms of scale, there was no reduction, Quan Cong led 50,000 troops to attack Shouchun, which should be Sun Quan's tentative move, and he must be holding back a big move in the back.

In fact, based on the military strength of Wu State, the highest army of about 250,000 was killed, and this time the army of 200,000 was mobilized to enter the war at once, Sun Quan was really desperate, and almost exhausted the military strength of the whole country.

Wei's standing army on the southern front was basically maintained at about 100,000, including 50,000 in Huainan and 50,000 in Jingzhou.

But this time, Wu State poured all its troops into the attack, the situation was different, the situation on the entire southern front suddenly became severe, even if Xiahou Xuanxuan's 30,000 Chinese troops went to reinforce, it was just a drop in the bucket, it was useless at all, and it might even be to send heads.

Wei was bound to make military adjustments and send more troops to resist the attack of Wu.

According to history, there were more than 100,000 troops when Shu died, and 230,000 troops when Wu died, even if it was at the peak, Shu's troops could not exceed 150,000, and Wu's troops could not exceed 280,000, and Wei's standing army, Chinese and foreign armies, and state and county soldiers combined, could at least maintain the scale of four or five hundred thousand.

However, Wei has a vast army and a vast territory, not only to station a large number of troops on the border of Shu and Wu, but also the nomads in the north do not dare to let them take it lightly.

Therefore, even if Wei maintains a standing army of four or five hundred thousand, which seems to be a huge number, every time it comes to using troops, it is all overstretched and embarrassed.

Among the foreign armies, the 100,000 troops on the southern front and the 670,000 troops on the western front were the basic plates, and they could not be moved at all, and the 100,000 Chinese troops were tasked with guarding the Beijing division, and it was not realistic at all to be completely emptied at once, and the border guards in Youzhou and Bingzhou could not be moved lightly.

On the other hand, the state and county soldiers are one grade lower than the Chinese army and foreign armies in terms of combat effectiveness, and it is difficult to reassure people to use them.

Therefore, this large-scale invasion of Wu is actually a test for Wei, and it is definitely far from enough to send Xiahou Xuan to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Huainan, at least a considerable number of troops must be sent to resist Wu.

Cao Liang asked, "Then what should the general do now?" ”

Xiahou Xuan said unwillingly: "At this moment, I will immediately go to meet the general and ask him to send more troops and horses to set out again on a later date." ”

Originally, this expedition, he was very high-profile, that is, he was eager to prove his ability to the world, but now that there is an emergency, the original plan for the expedition was suddenly canceled, of course Xiahou Xuan was unwilling to just forget it, it was obviously unrealistic to take 30,000 soldiers and horses to go on the expedition, but if Cao Shuang could send him tens of thousands of troops again, Xiahou Xuan could still reload and go out again.

Xiahou Xuan summoned several lieutenant generals and Changshi Ren Lan and Gao Yuan to join the army, and together with Cao Liang, urgently held a meeting and conveyed to them the military order that the general had just delivered.

The general Cao Shuang clearly asked the southern army to suspend the expedition and stay in place to wait.

This military order only requires the army to stand by in place, and does not require the army to be disbanded on the spot, which is equivalent to sending a relatively clear signal, that is, the army will not cancel the expedition plan, but the plan has changed, Xiahou Xuan asked the men and horses of each battalion and department to maintain the highest state of combat readiness, wait for orders, and open at any time.

Originally, after the flag sacrifice and oath, the morale of the southern army had reached its peak, but the temporary cancellation of the expedition plan made the morale of the army drop significantly, coupled with the unclear situation, the mood of the soldiers will definitely be greatly affected, how to calm the emotions of the soldiers of each battalion, is obviously a difficult problem.

Xiahou Xuan asked the commanders of each battalion and department to try their best to calm the emotions of the soldiers and maintain high morale as much as possible, after all, the expedition was only suspended, not completely canceled, and the battle situation on the front line was urgent, and it was urgent to wait for reinforcements from the imperial court, so as expected, there should be a result within a few days.

After explaining all this, Xiahou Xuan quickly left the campus in the south of the city and went straight to the General's Mansion.

When ordinary people arrived at the General's Mansion, those who dismounted dismounted, and those who got off the bus got off, all walked in to show respect.

But Xiahou Xuan didn't care about these etiquettes at the moment, and rushed directly into the General's Mansion, shocking a few soldiers guarding the door.

This is too arrogant, right, galloping into the General's Mansion, there are still such bold people in the world?

A family member who didn't know Xiahou Xuan was about to step forward to scold, but he was dragged by the family next to him: "Are you crazy?" Do you know who he is? ”

The newcomer said puzzledly: "Could it be that he is higher than our general?" That's impossible, our general is the first person under the throne, who can be higher than the general? "That family Ding is not confused, knowing that the emperor of the dynasty is just an eight or nine-year-old doll, and beyond that, looking at the whole world, no one can compare with the general.

The old family Ding smiled and said: "You don't know this, this person is the general's uncle and brother, and he is a big celebrity in front of the general. But you don't have to worry about it, if you really stop the young master's horse, I'm afraid it will be you who will suffer in the end. ”

Xinjiading suddenly realized and said: "I see, fortunately, Brother Xian reminded me, otherwise I would have caused a big disaster, it seems that these people really can't afford to offend." ”

When those few family members were discussing at the door, Xiahou Xuan was already anxious and galloped to Cao Shuang's hall, and he didn't hear the words of those little people, even if he heard it, he didn't want to pay attention to it, he turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the stunned Cao Mansion steward, and strode straight to the lobby.
