Chapter 271: Go hand in hand
At present, 200,000 horses have been gathered around Yecheng. In Liyang, Hao Zhao still has 20,000 horses. Moreover, we have too many cavalry, and the forage for our horses is tight. Although all parts of the country are using ships to transport grain and grass to Yecheng. But it's better to head south quickly. Otherwise, the logistical pressure on Yecheng is too great.
Zhang Jie said: Jie plans to set up troops to go south in five days. It's just that I haven't figured out which route to take. Jeffen's wanted to take three routes to march at the same time, but he was afraid that the battle line would be too long and the troops would be insufficient.
I don't know which three routes the lord is thinking?
Zhang Jiedao: I plan to form three legions, the first legion with 100,000 horses, cross the Yellow River in Liyang, take Baima, and then occupy Yanzhou East County. It depends.
Second, the second army was formed with 100,000 horses, first occupying Hanoi, Hedong and other places, and then occupying Luoyang. Then from Luoyang, the Tiger Prison and the east marched, forming a flank with the First Army to attack the Central Plains.
Third, the 70,000 men and horses in Bingzhou were formed into a third army, which crossed the Yellow River from the east of the river to avoid the Tongguan newly built by Li Wei. Go straight to Chang'an to occupy the Guanzhong region. Then 30,000 cavalry were dispatched from Chang'an, and they went south from Wuguan and detoured to Xuchang.
What do you think of these three paths going hand in hand?
After listening to Zhang Jie's three-way progress, everyone was thinking.
Judging the way: According to the intention of the lord, the three ways go hand in hand, a total of 270,000 soldiers and horses are needed. We're enough for now. It's just that if you have to go all the way to Chang'an, will this front be too long? Moreover, Chang'an is short of food, and the logistical pressure of these 70,000 horses is too great. How many people have to be recruited!
Everyone also nodded in affirmation.
Let's talk to you about your opinion! Zhang Jie said.
Jia Xu said: It is good for the lord's three-way parallel to advance, if it succeeds, he will win most of the world. But Xu doesn't quite agree with the three ways of the lord.
First, as Jeongnam said, the logistical pressure is too great.
Second, if the lord sends troops to occupy Chang'an, with the current strength of Li Dao, he will definitely not be able to stop us. But once the lord occupies Chang'an, he will face Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Xiliang warlords. In this way, it is difficult to send 30,000 horses to Xuchang in a detour.
Third, the forces are too scattered, as long as the First Army crosses the Yellow River, Yuan Shao will definitely come to Cao Cao's aid, and Yuan Cao's troops will probably have nearly ten or two hundred thousand troops.
Fourth, and most importantly, the lord often said that your greatest enemy is Cao Cao, if you defeat Cao Cao, the Central Plains will be invincible, so it is better to concentrate on defeating Cao Cao, why bother to occupy those useless places first?
Li Rudao: My lord, what Wen He said is extremely true, if the lord occupies Chang'an now, it may scare all the candidates in the world, and then Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Zhu, and even Zhang Lu of Hanzhong may send troops to Guanzhong. And Cao Cao may send lobbyists to fan the flames. In this way, it is better to concentrate on defeating Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao is defeated, it is not too late to occupy Chang'an.
Zhang Jie thought about it, too, the Guanzhong area of Chang'an is not far from Xiliang, and it is really difficult to deal with Ma Teng Han when he comes to attack. In history, Cao Cao let Ma Chao kill the robes and beards. It seems that concentrating on defeating Cao Cao is the truth, as long as Cao Cao is defeated. At that time, he will turn his hand back and occupy Chang'an, and if Ma Teng Han Sui dares to come, he will also pacify Xiliang together.
Figured it out, well, the text and all the reason. Then let's ignore Chang'an for now.
Wenhe, then how do you say we should send troops? Zhang Jie asked.
Jia Xu said: The 200,000 horses gathered in Yecheng crossed the Yellow River from Liyang, occupied Baima, and then went straight to Xuchang. Because from Baima to Xuchang, only Guandu is in danger to defend, and once it passes Guandu, it will be a flat river. Cao Cao had few cavalry, so it was impossible to give up the fortress of Guandu.
Yes, Zhang Jie suddenly thought of the battle of Guandu in history, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao with fewer victories and more victories in Guandu, and it was a narrow victory. From then on, Yuan Shao was no longer Cao Cao's opponent
Zhang Jie said: Good! According to Wenhe's plan, 200,000 horses gathered in Yecheng fought a decisive battle with Cao Cao.
However, the 70,000 horses in the state could not be idle, so he ordered Gao Ran to leave 10,000 horses to guard the state and guard against the Xiongnu. Although the Huns have repeatedly shown me goodwill, they should not be taken lightly. Tell Xun Kan to guard and merge the state. Let Gao Ran personally take another 60,000 horses south and go straight to Luoyang. Then out of the Tiger Prison Pass, to form a pinching of the Central Plains!
Tian Fengdao: My lord, it's okay for Gao Ran to lead the troops, if you occupy Luoyang, you will face the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, and then General Gao is afraid that he will not be able to deal with this complicated situation!
Well, Zhang Jie said: Yuan Hao is reasonable. Not to mention Gao Lan, even if Jie went in person, he felt big.
Suddenly, Zhang Jie's eyes stared at Li Ru, hahahaha laughing!
Wen You, you still have to go to Luoyang, and I will control all the 60,000 horses in Gaolan. I'll give you another hundred soldiers to protect you.
After you occupy Luoyang, immediately send troops to occupy the Tiger Prison Pass and flank Cao Cao with me, or you can send some cavalry to attack Cao Cao's hinterland from Xuanyuan Pass and other passes. Destruction of Cao's grain routes. You can even send troops to attack Xu County.
Li Rudao: Lord, Luoyang, the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, hate me to the bone, I'm afraid that it will be bad if I go to Luoyang!
Zhang Jiedao: Wen You, as long as we occupy Luoyang, who do you think will be sent to the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials will not hate us?
Sooner or later, we will have to face the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the hundred officials.
After you go to Luoyang, you must transfer all the thousands of soldiers and horses supported by the Son of Heaven in Luoyang. Put the Son of Heaven's Imperial Guards. It's all for our men. In short, we also have to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Judge: No, no, no! Lord, it is to respect the Son of Heaven to order all the candidates!
Hahaha, due south, this is no outsider, it doesn't have to be so obscure!
Oh! You take note. After arriving in Luoyang, please ask the Son of Heaven to make an order. Feng Liu Biao is Chu Hou, the general of Zhennan. Feng Sun Ce was the assassin of Yangzhou, General Anton. Seal the yellow cover for Jiangxia Taishou. Feng Chen Palace is the Taishou of Jiujiang.
Frustrated: Wonderful, in this way, Sun Ce will fight to the death with Liu Biao in Jiangxia. And Jiujiang County, Lu Bu has occupied Shouchun, and the next step is Hefei. So they hold each other back.
Zhang Jie said: Liu Biao is more than enough to keep and not enterprising. But I'm afraid he'll secretly fund Cao Cao. After all, we're putting too much pressure on them. So we have to find something for him to do, Sun Ce has a grudge against him to kill his father. has always wanted to take revenge, and now he has sealed Jiang Xia to his subordinate Huang Gai. Give him a chance to send troops!
Hehe, it seems that this is holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes. It's still a bit of a benefit!
However, Wen You, after arriving in Luoyang, you must act quickly, you can let Gao Ran go directly to the Tiger Prison Pass first, and you can stay in Luoyang. You have to show the majesty of Dong Zhuo when he controlled the imperial court. But one thing is not to kill people casually. You may have to stay in Luoyang for a while longer. By the way, Jiang Gan was also taught. He is now Luoyang Ling, but Jiang Gan is too honest. It's okay to do things, but he is far from intriguing with the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, and his heart is not hard enough. There's a good guy and I've got to replace him.
