Chapter 987: Soldiers to Xucheng

Xuzhou Xucheng, this place is Liu Yi and Liu Bei two people after the division of Xuzhou after the north and south of the boundary place, at that time there was Xu Huang's Longxiang army a battalion of soldiers stationed here for many years, under the rule of Tao Qian Xuzhou is the Han Dynasty famous rich place, especially the two cities of Pi Guangling are the largest cities in the late Han Dynasty, when the Yandi Beiping was not prosperous, they can be compared with Luoyang Chang'an Jianye Chengdu, not only a large population and a large number of businessmen! Otherwise, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would not have coveted this place, but Cao Mengde's two attempts to occupy Xuzhou were all failed because of Liu Yi, and the first time in the name of avenging his father was killed all the way to the city of Xiapi, which caused the people to panic, and then Lang Sheng personally led the army to come, and Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, Cao Cao had to retreat!

The second time was when Liu Yi marched into Sili to crusade against Li Yu and Guo Yan, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao jointly launched an attack on Liu Bei in Xuzhou. Liu Bei rose up to resist in the battle between Langya and Yuan Jun without losing the wind at all, but it was difficult to take care of both forces, and Yu Wen fell a lot of benefits here, and soon he would raise troops to attack Xiapi! At this time, Liu Yi and Ma Teng had already defeated Li Yu and Guo Yan, and out of strategic considerations, Lang Sheng ignored the fatigue division after the war and went out of the tiger prison to attack Yanzhou, where he had the first head-to-head duel with Cao Cao in his life, and then ended with Lang Sheng's withdrawal of troops!

After taking over Xuzhou, Liu Yi took Gan Ning as the history of thorns, supplemented by Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Zhang Zhao and other military and political talents, because this place has a good foundation, the advanced experience of Yandi can be quickly promoted here, and the reputation of leading troops to rush to the public and solve the people and hang upside down, the people of Xuzhou are quite supportive of Liu Yi, the king of Yan, so the development of Xubei in the two-year strategy is not the focus of the development, but it is more prosperous and stable than in the past, and the Xucheng generation is also prosperous.

Gan Ning personally led the Xuzhou Branch of the Flying Tiger Army across the sea to the top of the river, and on the eighth day after it set sail to the sea, the Fangshan Branch of the Flying Tiger Army also went to the sea near Xiapi under the leadership of the deputy commander Xuanlang and Zhang Rong, followed by tens of thousands of soldiers from the Zhoucang Xuanwu Battalion and Pei Yuanshao's White Tiger Battalion. This voyage is not only a combination of the Fangshan branch and the Xuzhou branch, so that Gan Ning has the complete combat strength of the navy in his hands, but also a large-scale long-distance transportation of army troops to the shore, which has far-reaching significance for the development direction of the Yan army and the future tactics of the navy!

The first land landing was used in the battle of Jizhou launched by Liu Yi against Yuan Shao, when Gan Ning led more than 15,000 people of the Flying Tiger Army across the sea to land on the coast of Jizhou and directly take the granary of the Yuan army, which became the turning point in Liu Yuan's war! With the development of the situation, the landing of more than 10,000 people may not be able to meet the needs of the battle situation in the future, and this time there are nearly 40,000 elite soldiers in the second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu, and the distance is twice as far as that of the year, which is a great test for the long-distance voyage and transportation ability of the Flying Tiger Army! However, after having rich sailing experience and the continuous strengthening of warships, Xuanlang and Zhang Rong completed the task very successfully, and the landing went smoothly!

In the next two days, the Fangshan branch completed sufficient supplies in Xuzhou Shuizhai and then sailed to the river to meet Ganning, and the second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu came to rest in the military camp outside the city of Xiapi to wait for the military order, a few days ago, the Xuzhou Assassin Mansion left Zhang Zhao to sit in charge of the overall situation, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu led the second battalion of tens of thousands of soldiers to march day and night to the Xucheng place that is quite close to the battlefield in southern Xu, which is five hundred miles away from the river, but the marching speed of the White Tiger Xuanwu soldiers is only three days' journey. Once there is a change, they can quickly join the battle, and the distance between Xucheng and the border of Yuzhou is closer, and they can faintly echo with the fire army of Liyi, so the command post of this battle of Xu Yang is located here, and Jia, Pang, and Xu are all extremely recognized!

When Gan Ning served as the assassin of Xuzhou, Pang Tong was the governor of Xuzhou, Xu Huang's Long Xiang Army and Liyi's Agni Army were both stationed here, and they had a lot of exchanges with ordinary people, so they would not have any problems with Feng Xiao in terms of command and cooperation, but Pei Yuanshao of the White Tiger Battalion and Zhou Cang of the Xuanwu Camp had been with King Yan for a long time, and he might not be so convinced by the young Pang Tong, especially the former can be said to be the most senior general in the Yan Army! Although the obedience of the generals of the Yan army is very good, Liu Yi still hopes that there will be no unfavorable factors, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Boming may not have a deep understanding of Pang Tong, but in front of Jia Xu, they will never dare to make a mistake, which is the key point.

Liu Yi not only has to consider how to use talents to give full play to their abilities in the right position, but also find ways to form a joint force between them as much as possible to deal with key wars! For example, sending Jia Xu to Xuzhou this time will be more suitable than Guo Jia! The strategic vision of the two can be said to be comparable, but compared to Feng Xiaowen and in dealing with people, he is more sleek, his thoughtfulness is only under Zhang Hu, Jia Xu can complement Guo Jia in strategy and tactics, and Pang Tongdang can also cooperate properly, and the type and style of the ghost and phoenix chicks are similar, and they are slightly inferior in complementarity, and the overlap of these two positions is also a waste of efficiency!

The strategy of the battle of Xu Yang is mainly planned by Pang Tong, Liu Yi has given great support to this, and having Jia Xu in charge here can ensure that Shiyuan's strategy is thoroughly implemented and can also make up for its shortcomings, and the prestige of Jia Butcher is also extremely prosperous, compared to Xu Shu, he can get more respect from Pang Tong, even if there is a dispute, he must be able to tolerate it with Wenhe's mind, and Guo Jia may not be so complete for reasons of personality, and Liu Yi is also careful about this candidate.

For the character of these great talents, Lang Sheng must have an in-depth understanding in order to use them properly, Jia Xu has been working very well with Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others since he came to Xuzhou, which also proves Liu Yi's opinion, these three people are far-reaching people, as long as they can form a joint force, even against Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun and others, they will never fall behind, Liu Yi can also be more at ease with the battle situation of Xu Yang's generation, maybe at this time, King Yan does not need to come to the battle in person to take the lead, However, in addition to employing people, it is also necessary to carefully plan and carve carefully in the same way as soldiers, so as to make the best use of people!

The second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu was received by Xuzhou after landing on the shore, the first thing they did was not to rest or camp but to change their clothes, and put on the costumes of the soldiers of Yanjun County, the transfer of the two battalions of soldiers was arranged by Xi Zhicai who was sitting in Beiping, and the secrecy was very good, and now the patrol outside the two battalions in Beiping is still the original battalion sergeant, Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai have to create an illusion that the two battalion soldiers are still staying in Beiping and have not had any transfer.

And the change of clothes in Xuzhou is a follow-up means to hide its whereabouts, the strength of the old fourth battalion of the Yan Army is not under the dragon and tiger guard in the eyes of the three ambitions in the south, that is Liu Yi's old foundation when he started, which battalion is not a great battle achievement, killing the enemy is not counted? In the Battle of Liyang, Lang Sheng personally led the Iron Cavalry Battalion and Yan Liangwen's Jizhou Cavalry and Xiahou Yuan Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to fight, Xu Huang's Longxiang Army and Xiahou Yuan had no time to confront him, and the Jizhou Army Yuan Shang Camp was the result of the two battalions joining forces, and Zhang Shiba, who was famous in the White Tiger Battalion, also won Yuan Shang with his own hands, which was listed as the first merit in this battle!

With this powerful backup in hand, Pang Tong's idea of letting Liu Bei cross the Yangtze River north to participate in the war became stronger and stronger, Jia Xu also gave support to this, the combined force of the Longxiang Army and the Flame Army can already form a great threat to Liu Bei's Yangzhou Army, and then there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Second Battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu to surprise this battle is obviously more successful, of course, the premise is that they must be able to calm down, since they have hidden a killer weapon, they must use it at the most appropriate time to play a miraculous effect.

The southern suburbs of Xucheng is the temporary station of the second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu, it seems that the camp is not built at the level of the main force of the Yan army, if the king of Yan sees the camp of any army built into such a look when he is on the southern tour, I am afraid that the commanders of the first army will have to have no face, this camp is also one of the qualities that a strong army must have, there can be no sloppiness, Zhang Xiu'an battalion in the battle of Hanzhong at the beginning of the blockade of the Cao army verified this, A well-built camp that takes advantage of the terrain will not be much worse than a fortified city in some cases!

As the old fourth battalion of the Yan Army, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang would have to be replaced long ago if they were at this level, since they were wearing the costumes of the soldiers of the county, this drama had to be more realistic, this is the first generation of Jia Junshi, Pei Zhouren is no longer understandable, but not to mention that such a camp as Anzha really took a lot of energy from the two battalions! Usually there are high standards and strict requirements, but once the water is released, the soldiers are still a little uncomfortable for a while, compared to the previous speed at which they set up camp in wartime, this time it is actually a little slower, which is quite funny.

The level of the camp can be poor, and the soldiers patrolling the periphery can also be looser, which is the explanation of the military division to cover people's eyes and ears must be strictly enforced, but in the interior of the camp, patrol and vigilance are the normal level of the two battalions of soldiers, and even more rigorous, at night are Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang two people in turn, the military adviser said that this is called loose outside and tight inside, they must maintain a high level of attention to all kinds of people who appear next to the village, but can not act without authorization.

The layout ahead is already in full swing, and the three of them, as planners, will not be easy, the lights in the tent will not be extinguished until late at night, and they will constantly deduce any situation that may occur on the front line, including the surprise attack of the enemy army!
