"The battle between Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Chan is a matter of Gongsun Chan's dignity, and he will definitely not let us participate in it. However, as children of the Han family, it is no problem for us to assist Gongsun Chan in fighting against Wuhuan and conquering foreign races! Guo Jia smiled slightly.

"Moreover, we can also take the opportunity to gain a foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula and lay a foundation. Even if Gongsun Chan is defeated, we can fight guerrilla attacks with Yuan Benchu in the north and harass him, so as to facilitate the northern and southern attacks in the future. You must know that Yuan Benchu's subordinates don't have so many elite horses, let alone such elites as Bai Ma Yicong. With Bo Fu and Zilong here, the entire northern grassland is the lord's world! ”

You must know that when it comes to cavalry combat ability, Sun Ce and Gongsun Zan can also be ranked among the generals in the late Han Dynasty, at least they are also a quasi-first-class level.

And on Yuan Shao's side, except for Yan Liangwen and Chou, two reckless men who rely purely on personal bravery, there is no cavalry general who can handle it at all.

No, there is actually one. Zhang He!

But this big guy who defected to Boss Cao in the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms began to take off, and his current level is average. Except for the ability to train a good heavy infantry halberd, there are no big highlights, and the cavalry talent is completely undeveloped. This big late-game hero has nothing to worry about in a short period of time.

Sun Ce, who was standing behind Sun Jian, heard this, his body and mind were comfortable, and he puffed up his chest high, like a proud peacock.

However, under Sun Jian's light cough, the proud peacock quickly shrank back.

Beside Sun Ce, Zhao Yun, who had also been praised, looked pampered and indifferent, making all the generals and strategists nod secretly.

"What Feng Xiao said is good. A certain has wanted to gain a foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula for a long time, and this time is just an opportunity. If Gongsun Chan wins, then we should go out and fight the autumn wind. But if Gongsun Zan is defeated, this Liaodong, and even the entire northern grassland, I Yuan Highway will not be politely laughing. Yuan Shu smiled.

With Yizhou Island as a springboard, Yuan Shu has long been greedy for Liaodong. In the past, it was because he was afraid of Yuan Shao, so he didn't want to conflict with Gongsun Chan because of this matter, but now Yuan Shu has no scruples. If Gongsun Chan can't keep it, why don't you take this land and keep it?

"Wen Yuan, this time you will lead 20,000 light cavalry and 3,000 heavy cavalry to support, and Zilong and Bo Fu will accompany you."

After glancing around the group of generals below, Yuan Shu finally set his eyes on Zhang Liao's body.

There is no way, Sun Ce's product is a thorn, if there is no one who can suppress him, this product will be turned upside down, and it is possible to lead the army to kill Yecheng directly.

Among the generals present, Zhang Liao is capable and qualified, good at cavalry combat and relatively stable. For the understanding of cavalry, alien races and the north, few of his subordinates can compare to him, who was born and stated. Moreover, Zhang Liao's commanding ability is also very good, with him with Sun Ce and Zhao Yun, Yuan Shu is much more at ease.

"As for the accompanying military division! It's up to Gongjin to take the role! ”

Everyone present was speechless.

Okay! Such an important battle situation is used to train these juniors. Lord, you are really willing to your son.

At the same time, the generals who were originally very envious, jealous and hateful of Zhang Liao also secretly gloated.

After passing through Liaodong, this is basically the duty of the governor of one party, but Yuan Shao gave this opportunity to Zhang Liao, and anyone will feel a little envious. But all this is also reasonable, who let there are only a few northerners among the major generals present! went out, Gao Shun and Juyi, the two big guys who were basically inseparable from Jiangdong, and there was only one Zhang Liao.

However, Yuan Shu easily shook off the three small oil bottles, and this good thing became a little troublesome. Not only to train these boys, but also not to let them have any mistakes, there is enough for Zhang Liao to have a headache.

As for how Yuan Yao was handled, everyone knew it. These three have basically never been separated, two have gone, can the remaining one remain? Yuan Shu just didn't say it explicitly, after all, Yuan Yao's current position is a thousand-person general, and he is not qualified to be mentioned.

Public is public, private is private, although secretly Yuan Shu will often take care of it, but on the surface, Yuan Shu will never be treated special because of their identity.

With Zhou Yu's ability and combat record, it is normal to be sent, so Yuan Shu is not partial. Among the strategists under his command, those who are good at conspiracy are Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Xun You.

Among them, Jia Xu belongs to the eighth king and will never move his nest. Guo Jia is a sick ghost again, he looks weak and unwinded, what if he goes to northern Xinjiang and is not adaptable? It is said that this thing died in northern Xinjiang in history, and Yuan Shu did not dare to send him.

It seems that Xun You is the best choice, but this one is a crow's mouth. Who knows what he will say, without Guo Jia looking at Yuan Shu, he wouldn't dare to let him out alone.

After thinking about it, there was no suitable candidate, so Yuan Shu simply let Zhou Yu out.

These boys were able to draw with Guan Zhang before, so they must not lose too badly against Yan Liangwen Chou! Zhou Tai is basically a professional bodyguard arranged by Yuan Shu for Zhou Yu now, and safety issues still need to be taken seriously. At the very least, his future Grand Governor can't die under the stray arrow, so ridiculous.

"The last general obeys!" The four of them stood up and hugged their fists.

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction: "During this time, I will let Xingba be stationed on Yizhou Island, ready to support you at any time." But pay attention, it's just this time, and after that, you have to rely on your own strength to gain a firm foothold in Liaodong and hold Yuan Shao's footsteps for me. ”

A trace of excitement flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes, and he said in a firm tone: "The last general will not be dishonored!" ”

"That's fine. Everything should be done with your own safety as the priority, we must give full play to the advantages of the light cavalry, and do not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place. ”

"Wen Yuan, I'll give you an additional 20,000 cavalry first. On the grasslands, you can recruit some brave warriors or aliens to replenish your troops. But beware, these people must be elite, rather than excessive, and at the same time do a good job of their ideological work, and I will match you with relevant personnel. ”

To delegate power, Yuan Shu directly gave Zhang Liao an additional 20,000 military powers.

There are few good horses in Jiangdong, and even fewer elite soldiers who can serve as cavalry. After such a long period of training, the total number of cavalry under Yuan Shu's various units was no more than 50,000, and now about half of them have been sent to northern Xinjiang. This is basically the limit for Yuan Shu, if he doesn't leave some cavalry, how can he enter the Central Plains in time when the situation changes?

However, the 23,000 cavalry was far from enough for Zhang Liao. If you want to occupy the vast Liaodong, not having forty or fifty thousand cavalry is tantamount to a fool's dream. Therefore, Yuan Shucai gave Zhang Liao the authority and asked him to go to the local area to recruit troops.

After all, northerners are good at riding horses, southerners are good at driving boats, and compared with these northern men who grew up on horseback and spent all day with horses, the children of Jiangdong are indeed far from each other in terms of riding. Recruiting cavalry in the north is the king.

Of course, this is only a preliminary authority, if Zhang Liao really makes good progress, Yuan Shu will definitely give further support, and it is best to occupy the entire northern grassland.

All the generals looked at Zhang Liao with fiery eyes, especially Wei Yan, and the envy and jealousy in their eyes were overflowing.

The military power of more than 40,000 troops! It's all cavalry! It's that Huang Zhong and Sun Jian both feel envious. However, they are really not good at commanding cavalry, and they are just envious.

Hearing this, even if he was as steady as Zhang Liao, he was excited, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your love!" Liao will definitely live up to the high expectations of the lord! Swear to the death to guard Liaodong for the Lord! ”
