Chapter 810: Tiger Prison

In that year, the emperor mobilized a million troops in the first eastern expedition, but at that time, there were only a few generals who could command more than 100,000 troops, Duan Wenzhen, who formulated the strategy, and Yu Zhongwen, who commanded the army.

Whether it was Luo Cheng or Luo Yi or Xue Shixiong, Wei Wensheng, Yang Yichen, Lai Hu'er, Yu Wenshu and other generals, it can be said that they did not have the ability to command more than 100,000 troops to fight at that time.

In this era, the communication hand is level, and the battle of less than 100 people can be commanded verbally. But a thousand soldiers and horses must have horns and banners. For an army of 10,000 people, there must be special herald cavalry, etc.

As for the army of 100,000 people, it can really be camped for ten miles, and it can be lined up for more than ten miles on the battlefield.

Once the fight starts, without some extraordinary skills, you can't control it at all, let alone command.

There is an idiom called Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier.

Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty was a cattle man who could command more than 100,000 soldiers, and although Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was defeated repeatedly, he was actually a cattle man who could command 100,000 people.

Of course, more than 100,000, he can't do it.

Therefore, Liu Bang led an army of more than 500,000 people, but Pengcheng was defeated.

In the end, the decisive battle between Chu and Han, as many as six or seven hundred thousand Han troops, was led by Han Xin.

Even Xiang Yu, who is invincible alone, is actually only a general who commands 100,000 people.

The Sui Kai Dynasty was full of fierce generals, but it can really be said that those who can command more than 100,000 troops are Yang Su, Shi Wansui, He Ruobi and a few marshals such as Han Baohu, Gao Gong, and Wei Xiaokuan.

Li Mi did have a lot of soldiers, claiming to be one million, but in fact there were 600,000, even if he lost some in several battles with Dou Jiande, Li Mi, and Du Fuwei, there were still 500,000.

But these 500,000 people will be divided into more than ten counties.

At the same time, Li Mi dealt with Wang Shichong, who had less than 100,000 people, and there was no need to transfer all the soldiers and horses, because too many soldiers would be difficult to command, and a large amount of grain and grass would be consumed, which would bring collapse-level pressure to logistics.

Therefore, in the face of Wang Shichong, who only had more than 20,000 elites, Li Mi only brought 100,000 people to fight him in Beibi Mountain.

It can't be said that Li Mito is big, but this force is enough.

In fact, Li Mi's ability is also a fierce man who can command a 100,000-level legion to fight, but unfortunately he still has too many soldiers.

Although Luo Siye also fought in the east and west, he thought that he would command 40,000 or 50,000 horses, and if it was 100,000 horses, he already lacked enough experience and overall vision.

Only his brother Luo Cheng was able to command hundreds of thousands of horses and horses to fight on multiple battlefields at the same time, and this kind of planning was not comparable to ordinary people.

It is said that Li Jing, Xu Shiji and Su Dingfang, who are now under the command of the brothers, are all commander-type handsome talents, although they have not yet fought any 100,000-level battles, but the emperor said that they will be able to command more than 300,000-level battles in the future.

If you can command 10,000 people, you can be called a general, and if you can command tens of thousands of people, you can already be called a general.

As for commanding 100,000 people, he can be a commander.

Commanding hundreds of thousands of people, that is a famous commander.

"Li Mi really descended and faked it?"

Feng Xiaoci is more concerned about this.

Li Mi threw him in Luokoucang, came to organize his more than 1,000 horses, and then sent light cavalry to send him to Cunxiao in Dongjun, and now Cunxiao has sent him to Donglai, and from there he took a boat to Fanyang. Calculate the time, and in a few days, he should be there. Luo Cheng said with a smile.

It doesn't matter whether Li Mi surrenders or not, because Li Mi has already entered the Qin camp, and the letters of persuasion written by him are now taking effect.

For example, Bing Yuanzhen, who was stationed at the Tiger Prison Pass, was originally promoted by Luo Cheng when he was the ambassador of Henan, but after Luo Cheng left, he was transferred to Zhang Xutuo. In the first battle of Daihai Temple, he was captured and surrendered to Li Mi.

In the past few years, it has also been considered a heavy weapon.

Therefore, the old boss Luo Cheng personally sent someone to recruit Bing Yuanzhen, but he did not defect.

But now, Li Mi personally gave him a letter of persuasion, persuading him to join Great Qin.

Now Bing Yuanzhen has no reason to hold on, Li Mi has gone to join Daqin, what is he still fighting alone.

So Bing Yuanzhen asked Luo Cunxiao of Dongjun to surrender, and Cunxiao immediately led his troops to respond, although Xingyang County still had some soldiers and horses who refused to surrender, but under the attack of Bing Yuanzhen of the Tiger Prison and Luo Cunxiao of Dongjun, they were quickly defeated.

The current situation is really good, and people will sleep and laugh out loud.

In such a good situation, even Feng Xiaoci, who has always been steady, couldn't help but propose, taking advantage of the fact that Zheng Wei was both defeated, to immediately summon all the armies of Huainan in Shandong to enter Henan, and sweep away Wang Shichong, who had lost his nest, with lightning speed, and then take the opportunity to take over all Li Mi's territory, so as not to give other surrounding departments a chance to take advantage of.

"If you get Luoyang and then level Henan, then the general trend of the world has been decided."

It already has most of Hebei, half of Hedong, and the whole of Shandong and Huainan, and if Henan is taken now, the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty will be pacified immediately.

Dou Jiande in Hebei, Li Yuan in Guanzhong, and Xiao Milling, Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong and others in Jiangnan are not to be afraid.

"There is Dou Jiande in Hebei, and Yang Yichen in Hedong is blocked, and if we attack Henan with all our strength now, we can only use the four armies of Huainan and Shandong." Luo Cheng summoned these three festival marshals today, in fact, it is still the same old problem before.

If they don't defeat Dou Jiande or Yang Yichen for a day, it will be difficult for them to go south.

And only the legions in Huainan, Shandong, couldn't help but look lonely.

It turned out that Luo Cheng's strategy was to first go north and then south, first sweep away Dou Jiande in Hebei, and then the northern army went south, joined forces with the Huanghuai army, and then attacked Luoyang and Chang'an in the west, locking the victory in one fell swoop.

"Before the cold wind rises, I will set the Xiang army after half a year of rest and training, and now the whole army can attack."

Although the total population is only about 300,000, there are hundreds of thousands of Turks in southern Monan, so his Dingxiang army has two armies, divided into two armies, left and right. The left army is mainly based on the Han army, supplemented by the Turkic Tiele people, led by Hei Ye himself, and the right army is mainly based on the Turkic army, supplemented by the Han army, and led by Rothmo.

Two armies plus two tooth soldiers, a total of 50,000 men.

"Recently, Yang Yichen and Xiao Yu, two old guys, often come to tackle key problems, and they are very annoying. If Your Majesty wants to send troops, our righteous army can send 8,000 people from two compartments to fight. "Although Liu Wuzhou has two armies, he only has three counties, and last time he also set aside half of Mayi as Yunnei County, and he is not as much as the heir in terms of population, and there are not so many Turkic people to rely on, so in terms of strength, he is far inferior to the heir.

It is claimed that there are two armies of righteousness and martial arts, but in fact, although there are 50,000 people in the two armies, there are only 20,000 soldiers, and the rest are auxiliaries.

Even if he had a heart, he was powerless.

Feng Xiaoci of Hengshan Town only has one army of soldiers and horses, and more than 20,000 people have to guard against Yang Yichen in Hedong, and Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er in the south, not to mention that he has to keep an eye on Dou Jiande in the southeast and protect Fanyang in Beijing.
