Chapter 872: Choosing the White Horse Pioneer Dian Wei

Behind Guandu is Xu Du.

"If you enter from Taishan County and want to enter Xudu, more than 2,000 miles along the way is equivalent to hitting the northernmost part of Yanzhou to the southernmost part of Yanzhou."

"Along the way, the roads were rough and there were many mountain roads, which were not conducive to the advance of the army, as well as the transportation of grain and grass."

"Walking the Taishan Army, the risk is greater than that of Zhidong County. It is easy to encounter enemy ambushes on the road, and if you are ambushed, it will be difficult for the front and rear armies to rescue, and the army will be defeated in an instant. ”

In addition to Zhao Hui, Guo Jiajia, Xun Chen and others all opposed Taishan County.

Zhao Hui also knew that it was better to take the White Horse Yanjin Guandu normally.

The most important reason why he chose Taishan County was influenced by the battle of Guandu in his mind.

Cao Cao could defeat Yuan Shao at Guandu, and possibly defeat him at Guandu.

No one knows what accidents will happen on the battlefield.

However, since Guo Jia and others think that it is better to take the battle line of Baima Yanjin, Zhao Hui will not always insist on taking Taishan County.

What they said is indeed reasonable, the battle situation in Taishan County will be longer, and then there will be more uncertain factors.

Even if everything goes well, it will be longer.

Zhao Hui is not a stubborn person either, and he will not necessarily lose to Cao Cao.

He now has three times as many troops in his hands as Cao Cao.

The grain and grass also far exceeded Cao Cao.

As long as there were no major mistakes, Cao Cao had little chance of winning.

Even if the battle line is very long, this war will be difficult for Cao Cao.

The front is decided, but it's not the only one.

When he first attacked Jizhou, Zhao Hui attacked from three directions, and this time he attacked Yanzhou, or he attacked from three directions, but the focus would be on the line of Yanjin Guandu in Baima.

Although Xu Huang is now training the navy, there are still 50,000 foot soldiers in Qingzhou, so Xu Huang is still the general.

And the state is still too Shi Ci as a general.

Xu Huang still sent troops to Taishan County, while Tai Shici sent troops to Chen Liu.

These two roads are not the main force, and it is naturally the best to be able to lay down the two counties of Taishan and Chenliu.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, the main thing is to put pressure on Cao Cao. Cao Cao had to divide his troops to guard.

Cao Cao's troops were already less than Zhao Hui's, so in the face of Zhao Hui's main force, his troops would be even less.

"My lord, I would like to be a pioneer."

The battle line was determined, and Dian Wei immediately asked for battle.

"Avenge the heroes who infiltrated behind enemy lines."

Although Yecheng is now, there are also some corpses placed in cars every day and pulled down to mass graves outside the city.

It's all a fine work sent by Cao Cao.

But the feeling of being killed is different.

If one of his brothers is killed, even if he kills the other party, he will not release his hatred in his heart.

Between Zhao Hui and Cao Cao, before the war officially began, hundreds of lives had already perished.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Zhao Hui, they attach great importance to intelligence.

Outside the barracks on both sides is the place where the most elaborate work is made.

Many of the spies disguised themselves as civilians, or stealth, hiding themselves in the shadows.

But in order to be able to find out important information, they had to get as close as possible to the barracks.

The higher the probability of being found missing.

In addition to the barracks, even the movement of the army, as well as the transportation of grain and grass.

These messages are very important.

Even if hundreds of people died because of this, Zhao Hui and Cao Cao kept sending new spies.

If you don't even know the news of the enemy, you don't even know where the enemy is now, and how many people you have, it seems that if you want to win this war, you can only rely on luck.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles.

Confidants don't know the other, one wins and one loses.

If you don't know yourself or your opponent, you will lose every battle.

In terms of pure tactics in the art of war, Zhao Hui is definitely not as good as Cao Cao, a traitorous male.

Zhao Hui's advantage is that he has more soldiers, more money, and more food. and knowledge of world figures.

If he didn't know this, Zhao Hui would not be Cao Cao's opponent at all, and he would not have been able to destroy Yuan Shao before.

Although Cao Cao's strength now seems to be inferior to Yuan Shao before, Zhao Hui is more likely to capsize when facing Cao Cao than Yuan Shao.

However, Zhao Hui doesn't need to be strategized with Cao Cao now.

Just like the first attack on Jizhou, it is more than hard power, and dragging Cao Cao can also drag him down.

After all, Zhao Hui holds the land of Sizhou, and has Wei Shuang, an expert in making money, and can also bring grain from Jiaozhou.

Dian Wei wanted to be a pioneer, but Zhao Hui did not refuse.

He really needs a strong man to get out of the way.

However, Dian Wei was impulsive after all, so Zhao Hui still gave Dian Wei a strategist.

Ling Xun Chen followed Dian Wei, one of the two was calm and the other was impulsive, which just complemented each other.

Zhao Hui did not send Guo Jia or Jia Xu out, although the abilities of these two people are stronger than Xun Chen.

But the strategies of the two are basically more radical.

Dian Wei is the striker, and what Zhao Hui wants is that he can show his morale and strength, but he doesn't need to really fight Cao Cao yet.

But the strikers can't lose their sharpness either.

The army has just come out, if there is no sharpness, Zhao Hui still don't fight this battle.

Even if his strength is superior to Cao Cao's, if the soldiers have no morale, they will easily be defeated by the weak.

The so-called mourning soldiers will be defeated, even if a famous general commands the mourning soldiers, the best choice is to take the army to retreat first, wait for the morale to be boosted, and then find a chance to fight.

Dian Wei was followed by two thousand heavy armored infantry.

The remaining 3,000 heavy armored infantry will follow Zhao Hui to the battle.

Five thousand heavily armored infantry will be the most powerful killing weapon when Zhao Hui fights Cao Cao.

In order to support these 5,000 heavy armored infantry and 2,000 heavy armored cavalry, the resources consumed can completely arm an army of 100,000.

Although the heavy armor on their bodies consumes a lot of iron ore, after all, it is only temporary, and there is some heavy armor loss later, and it will not cost a lot to repair it.

The most consumed right now is their food.

5,000 heavy armored infantry, the food money consumed in a month is worth 50,000 ordinary soldiers.

This is still a soldier in Zhao Hui's army, and if compared with the soldiers of other princes, it can even feed 100,000 soldiers for a month.

Because the heavy armor is too heavy and the physical requirements are very high, the food that the heavy armor soldiers eat every day is the best.

Three meals a day, all of which are based on meat.

They were already tall and ate more than the average person, but now that they are heavily armored soldiers, they have more to eat in a day.

In Zhao Hui's army, even if he is an ordinary soldier, he can eat three meals a day, just three meals is to eat a full meal, but it is still too difficult to eat well.

And most of the soldiers and horses of the other princes still have two meals a day, and it is difficult to eat enough.

Except in wartime, the soldiers can be fed. You can eat three meals a day.

They recruited too many soldiers and the territory was not as large as Zhao Hui, so there was a lot of pressure on grain and grass.

Zhao Hui now has more than 300,000 troops in his hands.

The population of the four prefectures of Hebei is now about nine million.

That is, one of the thirty men was a soldier.

And the territory of the other princes, basically one out of ten people is a soldier.
