Hearing Yuan Highway's words, everyone's eyes were a little cautious.

According to the information obtained, Yuan Highway sent about 30,000 or 40,000 troops to Liaodong, and at present, more than 20,000 are in Gongsun Zhan's army, and more than 10,000 are in the vicinity of Liaoxi to fight Wuhuan to reduce the pressure on Gongsun Zhan. Yuan Highway tried his best to help Gongsun Zhan, and his plan was very big! The Lord must not be ignored! ”

For Yuan Shu's vigilance, everyone present has never relaxed. Gongsun Chan is just self-serving, and Tian Yu is only half a strategist under his command, and it is extremely easy to deal with. But Yuan Shu is cunning and cunning, acting treacherously, always doing something that seems to be whimsical but has far-reaching effects, which makes people confused and difficult to deal with.

"Yuan Highway sent troops to meddle in Liaodong, but this matter also shows some problems between Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan." Xun Chen Zhizhu said in his hand: "Gongsun Chan must be unwilling to accept Yuan Shu's help, otherwise Yuan Shu would not have played the side ball and helped Gongsun Chan in the name of dealing with foreign races." If Gongsun Chan was really willing to accept Yuan Shu's help, Yuan Shu would definitely not appear now, but should be able to surprise him when we fought a decisive battle with Gongsun Chan. ”

"Could it be that Yuan Shu was worried that Gongsun Chan would not be able to defeat the alien race?" Guo Tu quibbled.

"If that's the case, then Yuan Highway is not worthy of being my opponent." Yuan Shao said inexplicably. looked at Guo Tu's gaze slightly dissatisfied: "Gongzhi, are you questioning Yuan Highway's vision when you say this, or are you questioning Gongsun Zhan's ability?" ”

Guo Tu saw Yuan Shao's dissatisfied gaze, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Tu is anxious for a while, what he said is wrong, and he hopes that the lord will forgive his sins." ”

Yuan Shao is a person who is confident to the point of pride, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan are both opponents he admits, and naturally they are also people he approves. The questioning of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu's ability is undoubtedly an insult to Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao despised these two people, he definitely didn't like others to despise these two people.

"What the lord said is right, if Gongsun Chan can't even deal with a few foreign races, how can he be qualified to be our opponent? The same is true for Yuan Shu, if Gongsun Chan can't even do this, what's the point of Yuan Shu supporting him? Spend so much resources and effort to cultivate an incompetent waste? The reason for this situation must be due to Gongsun Zhan's self-righteous personality. Xun Chen said with great certainty.

"Are you saying that when we fight a decisive battle, Yuan Shu will not interfere? So what's the point of Yuan Shu sparing no effort to help Gongsun Zhan? I'm afraid it's not just to help Gongsun Chan reduce the loss of troops! The judge asked puzzled.

"Definitely not! With the character of the road, he would never do such a thing. Yuan Shao said directly.

"According to my investigation of Yuan Shu's operational intelligence during this time, Yuan Highway attaches great importance to the population, including the soldiers. In every battle, he tries to avoid the loss of troops, and rarely fights those that are risky or prone to huge losses. According to his character, he will definitely not spend such a big price for Gongsun Zan in vain, Yuan Highway must have other considerations. Xu Yu said.

After being beaten by Yuan Shao last time, Xu You was no longer as casual as before, and began to do some practical things. During this time, Xu You has been studying Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, two of his and Yuan Shao's bad friends, and Yuan Shao's possible biggest enemies in the future.

"Ziyuan's words are good, there must be other calculations on the highway. His target was not Gongsun Chan from the beginning, but me, and if he wanted to deal with me, he could not only rely on Gongsun Chan. ”

"But Yuan Highway is only 30,000 or 40,000 troops, what can he do?" Guo Tu couldn't believe it.

"That's thirty or forty thousand elite horsemen, which is already a lot of force on the grassland. If you use it well, it may cause us a lot of trouble! Xun Chen said.

"And Yuan Shu is not like Gongsun Zhan to exterminate all the alien races, if he is willing, he may expand his army at any time." Xu Yu said. He also walked around Xiliang back then, and he knew the urine nature of these alien races. Although the racial concept is strong, what is stronger is the natural surrender to the strong, just like a certain island country, which was beaten like that by the United States and ran over to kneel and lick. As long as Yuan Shu waved his hand, a large number of Hu people were definitely willing to join in.

Dong Zhuo's Western Liang soldiers fought against foreign races all year round, but a large part of the composition of the Western Liang soldiers was Qiang people. Although it is mostly used as an auxiliary force rather than the main force, it has played a significant role. The combat power of 10,000 Xiliang Jing Cavalry and 30,000 Qiang Cavalry can definitely completely explode 20,000 Western Liang Jing Cavalry or nearly 100,000 Qiang Cavalry.

Although these aliens have average combat power, they are definitely good at fighting with the wind. If the morale is raised, it is not impossible to ride a tough man in the front. If Yuan Shu's more than 30,000 iron horsemen are allowed to develop on the grassland, the combat effectiveness in the near future will definitely be jaw-dropping.

In fact, the vast majority of the cavalry at the end of the Han Dynasty was composed of Hu people, such as Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng's Xiliang iron cavalry were mostly Qiang people, and Cao Cao's command in addition to the elite tiger and leopard cavalry, the most relied on the huge number of Wuhuan cavalry, and even Gongsun Zhan also had a lot of foreign cavalry. Of course, these aliens have basically abandoned their identities, and the tribes they belong to are gone.

How did Cao Cao's Wuhuan cavalry come from? The northern expedition to Wuhuan crippled the Wuhuan crippled, and as a result, there were many Wuhuan cavalry, which laid the foundation for the subsequent Battle of Xiliang.

"What do you have to do?"

"Lord, you are also clear about the situation of our army's cavalry, and you have more than enough to protect yourself, but if you want to wipe out the elite cavalry under Yuan Shu's command on the grassland, I'm afraid..."

"And this is not the most troublesome, if Gongsun Chan is defeated, the remaining cavalry under his command may also fall into the hands of Yuan Shu, especially the elite cavalry newly established by Gongsun Chan that is very similar to Baima Yicong. Lord, I have to guard against it! Xu Yu said with added fuel to the fire.

"You two are not talking about it, not to shirk responsibility, but to undermine our morale! Before the war was fought, you were so alarmist? Feng Ji Yin said compassionately.

"It's not alarmist, it's about preparedness. Prepare for the worst in advance so that you can deal with all kinds of troubles in the future. Yuan Shu meddled in northern Xinjiang, we must be cautious enough. ”

"I've been planning for a long time, do you have any solutions?" The judge was dissatisfied.

"Strike backward and ambush on all sides. Prepare in advance, and quickly surround Gongsun Chan after he makes a move, cut off the connection between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shu, and never let him have any contact with Yuan Highway's army. On the other hand, the shadow buried by the lord should also take action, dividing the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shu, causing Gongsun Chan to be wary of Yuan Shu. Xun Chen said lightly.

Yuan Shu is not easy to deal with, but Gongsun Zan couldn't be easier to deal with. A reckless man, Xun Chen can come up with dozens of ways to turn against Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's dispatch of troops to Liaoxi this time was ill-intentioned, and it was not easy to provoke disputes.
