In the military tent, the four people were speechless for a while.

Ma Chao and Pang Lin sorted out their emotions, Guan Ping also had a calm face, and no one was willing to say the first sentence.

The atmosphere was depressing, Ma Chao just raised his head and sighed, and said something meaningless: "Why is this happening?" ”

Pang Lin bowed his head in shame, Guan Ping's left hand was wrapped in a bandage, and he also sighed, and his indignation was shown on his face.

Dissatisfied, the four of them are dissatisfied in their hearts, but they can't say it to each other in private, let alone in public, and if they spread it, they will cause trouble for themselves and everyone.

There was a mistake in the battle, but this mistake was partial and forgivable.

However, the lack of mobile reinforcements south of Duyang is an unforgivable mistake and mistake, and if there is another army on the front line, about 3,000 people, then this battle will look different.

In the final analysis, Sun Lang's 5,000 men had not undergone systematic training, the standard of military officers was low, the equipment was insufficient, and they lacked the experience of fighting in large corps, so they could not be used, so they just stayed in the southern part of Yongdao to accumulate experience.

Meng Da and Shen Tan just stuck to the camp in the Yongdao, but Meng Da was greedy for merit, and wanted to block Niu Jin in one fell swoop, Yu Ban 5,000 steps to ride, and wanted to wait for the north to turn back and eat this step ride.

It was just greedy for merit, and Sun Lang was forbidden to go north to participate in the war, wanting to swallow it alone, but as a result, the Wei army opened the gap on foot, killed Deng Xian and Shen Tan, and captured and captured nearly 1,000 people.

If there is another army, with 3,000 infantry placed on the east side of the Yongdao, to block the headquarters of Changdiao, then the Yongdao defenders only need to face Niu Jin in the west and Yu Ban 5,000 cavalry to hold the Yongdao.

Yongdao is like a snake, the weakest is the middle, a camp is placed on the east side of the middle of Yongdao, and two or three thousand people are arranged, which is enough to protect Yongdao from breaking.

Xu Zuo's troops guarded the camp, Tian Xin led the Huya Army out of the camp to the north, Guan Ping and Dong Chong to the east, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Zhang Bao interspersed and wandered to find fighters, and at worst they could break Xiahou Shang's main formation!

There are no reinforcements in Duyang, and everyone dare not let go of their hands and feet to fight; The lack of an army to guard the flanks at the front made it impossible to carry out the projected plan.

I can't say what I want to say, I hold it in my stomach, and dangerous emotions are growing.

Tian Xin was about to speak, but received Guan Ping's fierce eyes.

So I can only sigh, the situation is different, but the more I think about it, the more I feel resentful and depressed.

An army of 3,000 people, no one can ask for it; The Shen Tan was folded again, and the establishment of the Northern Army was gone.

If Liu Bei does not give a new general name and does not give him an establishment, then the size of the army cannot be expanded, which is a question of whether the army is legal or not, unless another Jingzhou crisis breaks out.

But how does Liu Bei compile it?

The Eastern Crusade has already sent troops, all materials and military supplies should be poured into the Eastern Crusade, and it is already a very rare trust and support to be able to acquiesce in the launching of the Wankou Campaign, how can you ask for more?

The summer harvest is coming to an end, and more than 20,000 people can be mobilized in Nanyang and Nanxiang to join the Eastern Crusade sequence.

The Eastern Crusade is the major event now, the only major event.

Even if Liu Bei fell on the expedition, as long as the conditions permitted, Guan Yu would continue to maintain the eastern crusade until he swallowed Wu, or forced Sun Quan to become a real vassal.

A post-war meeting without communication ended in such a hurry, and Pang Lin was very helpless.

How many are 3,000 people?

It's really a lot, and it takes about 20,000 households to support a standing army of 3,000 people.

But it is very few, because the northern soldiers captured in the Battle of Xiangfan generally implement military cantonments, and it is really not difficult to select three or five thousand veterans who are willing to participate in the war from among them.

Everyone is staring at this group of elite soldiers, especially the generals from the north.

Following the Jingzhou people, another group of people jumped out to compete for resources.

But the army is a human being, has its own opinions, and it is not something that can be grabbed if you want to.

Except for Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Tian Xin, and Guan Ping, the northern army did not recognize anyone else, even Huang Quan.

Tian Xin walked out of the big tent, climbed the four-zhang high command tower to look, the knights and light soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield around were returning to the camp in an orderly manner, there was no other sound left in the camp except for the neighing of horses and the barking of dogs, and the wounded soldiers were placed in the North First Battalion, and the most injured were also stationed in the North First Battalion of the Shen Tan Department of the Northern Army.

Under the command tower, Yan Zhong held a double-piped four-hole Qiang flute that he picked up and played, intermittently, as if the flute was choking.

Guan Ping walked over and handed the half-gourd rice wine he was holding to Yan Zhong, and he also climbed up to the conning tower and said, "Xiaoxian, do you really want to return Cao Xiu easily?" This pillar of the enemy country is not below you and me. Let it go, for fear of slander. ”

"Brother, I captured Cao Xiu because I was not angry with him for coaxing me before, and I have been taken care of by Pang Shiheng for a long time, and I have the heart to repay."

Tian Xin let go of his legs, and Guan Ping sat opposite him, still worried: "But there is no imperial edict, filial piety is not in line with the law." ”

"Brother, at that time, the two armies had already collected their troops, and I didn't capture Cao Xiu in the battle array, but I was actually a meat ticket kidnapped by a private person after the war, how could I be contaminated with national law? I, General Han, can't I tie up the general of the enemy country? Whoever is not satisfied with the DPRK and China can go to the territory of the enemy country to kidnap the ticket. ”

Tian Xin couldn't help but smile when he said that, and found a reason: "I'll just say that the enemy army is large, at least four times larger than me." I used Cao Xiu as a threat, so I was able to retreat with my whole body. In this way, if there are still people in the DPRK and China who are dissatisfied, then I have nothing to say in the future. ”

Guan Ping just sighed: "I am stupid and talented, but I am deeply worried about filial piety." ”

"If my brother is worried, then it is better for me to take my relatives back to the valley to grow and support myself? Your Majesty has given me ten miles of valleys, with mountains and forests, and a clear spring and stream, so that I can spend the rest of my life. ”

Tian Xin said and raised his hands and looked down: "I have killed more than 400 people for the Han before and after, and I should be able to exchange it for ten miles of valley." I also hope that this crusade can return triumphantly, and I also hope that the Cao clan will die violently, so that the Han Dynasty can prosper. But after that, relatives and eunuchs fought for power? Haoqiang and gate valves have grown one after another? ”

"If they can't win the battle, I'll fight it. They can't solve problems they don't want to solve, but I want to try. ”

Distressed and pervasive, Tian Xin took a deep breath: "Brother, if the Wu family can't see their situation clearly and has to force me, then I will resign." Nanyang, let the Wu family guard, and I will go back to Maicheng Tuntian. Maicheng couldn't accommodate it, so I went to the mountains of Hanxing County to open up mountain fields, and there was always a place for me to eat. ”

"Be careful!"

Guan Ping patted Tian Xin's toes and comforted: "After I withdraw my troops and return to Xiangyang, I will send someone to ask my father." ”

Tian Xintou raised his head back, and his tone was lazy: "Jing people are powerful, and it is not a grievance to endure for the overall situation." But why is the Wu family? The governor of Guanzhong, he is also worthy? ”

Don't talk about persuading Tian Xin, Guan Ping himself also held back his anger, and just snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Wu Yi, the governor of Guanzhong, was given a remote seal by Liu Bei when Hanzhong was crowned king.

However, in less than a year, the strategic situation has rapidly improved, and the geopolitical conditions for the Northern Expedition have been achieved.

How to settle Wu Yi has become a more difficult problem, there is no place for Wu Yi in Yizhou, and there is no place for Jingzhou.

The post of governor of Guanzhong could not be given to Ma Chao or Tian Xin, so Wu Yi had to continue to serve as the governor.

Now Wu Yi is the general of Jiangling, as a native of Yanzhou Chenliu, and his official position is the governor of Guanzhong, so the remaining 20,000 troops surrendered with the ban, isn't it very related to him?

He wanted it, Guan Yu ignored him, and Huang Quan ignored him, but Wu Yi just wanted it.

If he can't get it, then no one else will want to continue to absorb and expand the army.

Unless...... When everyone divides up the surrendered army, leave him a leg.

Tian Xin wanted to directly remove one of Wu Yi's legs.

The surrender of the army in the north, this is the basic plate of Guan Zhang, Ma and Zhao Tian, and even Wei Yan is excluded from the second line, how can the Wu family interfere again?
