"The most important thing now is how to arrange the city guard to guard against the west, and where the capital of my Great Zhao should be located." Xun Chen looked at Yuan Shao.

"Does Your Majesty intend to focus on attack or defense?"

"How about focusing on offense, and how about focusing on defense?" Yuan Shao didn't answer immediately, but asked.

"If Your Majesty is more important than defending, you can set the capital in the middle of the plain, and build two fortresses on the west side of the plain, with some fortresses in between. Even if the enemy invades in a big way and loses at the front, we will have enough time to retreat and force the enemy back from the clear field. Although it will cause a lot of losses, it is absolutely foolproof. As long as there is continuous water, food and grass in the city, you can sit back and relax. Xun Chen said.

"What if it's more important than attacking?"

The judge stared: "Directly build the national capital on the west side, and build fortresses and city walls on the north and south sides of the national capital to block the enemy from abroad." The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. With the abundant strength of our Great Zhao, as long as we work together, we are not afraid of any strong enemy, and if there is an enemy attacking, we can take the initiative to attack and annihilate any enemy who comes to attack. ”

Looking at the judgment full of decisiveness and confidence, Yuan Shao smiled slightly: "Just do what Zhengnan said." I didn't come here to be a dog for Yuan Highway. The situation in the world is changing, if you can't seize the opportunity and seize the initiative, what chance can you conquer the world and rebuild my Dazhao? ”

"But Your Majesty, in this way, it will be difficult for the enemy to take a step into my Great Zhao, but it is also a desperate gamble to put my Great Zhao in danger. If the Northern Huns really led the iron cavalry out of the nest, I'm afraid that Da Zhao would be difficult to resist. Guo Tu said with a little worry.

The advantage of cavalry over foot soldiers is indeed too great, especially on such plains. The Northern Xiongnu are not Gongsun Zhan, they are not so "brave and fearless", and they will do the kind of "stupid thing" that defeats the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings. More than 100,000 light horsemen on the grassland, if properly commanded, can easily match the enemy who is several times its size.

"It doesn't matter, I believe in due south. Moreover, when it really comes to that point, Cao Mengde and they will not ignore it. Yuan Shao said confidently.

Regarding the alliance of the four countries of Zhao, Wei, Han and Wu, Yuan Shao firmly believed in his heart.

This is different from the situation when the princes were fighting for hegemony, and now outside the Han Dynasty, the four forces have the same position, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and it is an absolute iron alliance. Moreover, Yuan Shu, who had been behind the scenes, could not allow the other three parties to remain indifferent when one of them was attacked.

"Is there any movement on the side of the Northern Huns?"

"No, except for the 30,000 iron cavalry patrols on its eastern border to guard against us, there is no action to attack us." Guo Tudao.

Since Xu Yu abdicated and lived in Great Chu as the liaison between Chu and Zhao, Guo Tu took over his intelligence work. With his astute insight and small means, Guo Tu is very prosperous, and he is not worse than Xu Yu.

"The Northern Huns are in decline! Not even the courage to do so. Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "I thought it was a hard bone, but I never thought that like the Southern Huns, they all became dogs with broken spines." ”

"Since the Northern Huns don't have the courage to come to us, then we'll go to the door. Let's also take a look at whether the so-called Northern Xiongnu is really qualified to inherit the name of the Northern Xiongnu, otherwise I will have to talk to Yuan Highway and change its name to the Western Xiongnu, and destroy it directly. ”

In the eyes of Yuan Shao and others, the Northern Xiongnu is not only a name, but also a qualification, a qualification that is enough to be regarded as a fierce rival.

Only enemies who are strong enough are eligible to be treated as scheming. Otherwise, it is better to suppress it with force and destroy it directly.

"Youruo, you send someone to inform Cao Mengde and them, and in addition, prepare a letter of war to the Northern Xiongnu, saying that after a month, I will wait for the four countries to make an appointment with him to hunt in the grassland."

"No." Xun Chen said.

"Due south, you go and match 20,000 elites, mainly chariot soldiers, and cavalry as auxiliaries. In addition, the Euphorbia accompanied him. ”

"No." Judge the way.

"In this battle, Yan Liangwen, Zhang He, Han Meng and I accompanied me, and the rest of the generals stayed behind. If you are behind the Prime Minister, everything is under his command. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister petitions to go." A deep voice rang out.

Everyone looked at the silent figure in unison.

Chun Yu Qiong.

Since Jizhou's defeat to Zhang Ren in the First World War, Chun Yuqiong has undergone amazing changes. The whole person can be said to have completely transformed, changing his previous violent and alcoholic character, and becoming silent and resolute, like Gao Shun.

And not only his character, but also his ability was reborn and went further, and his defects were completely made up, truly becoming the last impregnable line of defense in front of Yuan Shao.

The reason for this miraculous change is only known to two people, not even Yuan Shao. Because he doesn't care, he just needs to know that it's a good thing, and Chun Yuqiong has always been loyal to him.

"Zhong Jian, and don't be impatient. This battle is just for training, and you don't need to participate in it. All you need to do is defend the capital for me and bring me back. Yuan Shao said.

"No." Although he was unwilling in his heart, Chun Yuqiong had no choice but to say.

"This is the first joint battle between me and the three of them, and I guess the three of them will not disappoint me." Thinking of those three figures, Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile.

Fearsome enemies become teammates and are incredibly reliable. Thinking about the many generals under Cao Cao and Liu Bei, even Yuan Shao couldn't help but be a little excited.

......

"Yuan Benchu was really anxious."

When they saw the letter in their hands, Cao Cao and Liu Bei thought of it in unison. I'm just starting to get a foothold, and I want to fight.

Unlike Yuan Shao, in arranging the city guard, the two of them did not have the idea of attacking instead of defending and swearing to the death.

Because Yuan Shao's terrain is flat, and he is in a relatively hinterland, it is relatively safe. In addition, this cargo is a strong rioter, and the front is the best way.

And they were between the Northern Xiongnu and Kushan, and the situation was extremely sensitive. Not only may the Northern Xiongnu invade, but the Kushan will definitely not stop forever. In addition, there are many mountains in the terrain where they are located, especially Liu Bei, whose territory is basically surrounded by mountains, and they are directly preparing to build a city on the mountain.

According to the terrain advantages, between the mountains and mountains, as long as Liu Bei hides in the mountains, even if the Northern Huns pour out, they can only touch a nose of ash. Anyway, most of his subordinates are foot soldiers, and they are good at winning the hearts of the people, even the ethnic group management of Nanban and Shanyue can't go wrong. And Liu Bei managed in this way.

Scattered but not chaotic, condensed but not gathered, think about the difficulty of Nanban and Shanyue to know how disgusting it is to attack such an enemy. What's more, the Northern Huns are all light horses, and they definitely don't have any ideas.

Similarly, after staying under Yuan Shu for so long, Cao Cao learned more than Liu Bei. Referring to the layout of Liaodong, Cao Cao also relied on a large number of mountains on the east side to start a large-depth defense arrangement. Although the degree of difficulty is inferior to Liu Bei, it is fortunately easier to manage.

Countless fortresses and passes have armed this area like a hedgehog, and it is absolutely difficult to swallow.

is different from Yuan Shao's death or life, the two of them have no fear, and even wish the Northern Huns would attack them. When it comes to tackling tough battles, the Northern Xiongnu at the peak are not worthy of lifting shoes for the Han people.

However, correspondingly, in this way, the normal development speed of the two is definitely not as fast as Yuan Shao. However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have never been stable and developed personalities.

The rear is well consolidated, that is, there is in and out of it. Kushan, the Northern Xiongnu, and even the rest of the country, some have population and money and grain. Anyway, the most important thing in the Western Regions is horse bandits, as long as they start cleanly, who can prove who did it?
