Chapter 808: Lone Wolf Tactics
The battle between Wang Cang is urgent, but Liu Yi, who is thousands of miles away in the Yecheng Prefecture, is difficult to know, and it is extremely difficult for him to analyze Cao Cao's plot with the general situation and profound military skills, and the details on this battlefield are not something he can predict. At this time, there was a strong man standing in front of Liu Yi's desk, although his figure was not as good as that of Zhu Wuxi, it was almost the same, this person had a rough appearance, a yellow face and a short beard, and a crimson scar ran through the right cheek, which was quite hideous, but the clothes he was wearing were the clothes of the Xuzhou Ganning Flying Tiger Army, and he was a subordinate of Xingba!
"Guan Xingba letters, you and Brother Ling are his old brothers in Jianghai Village, and now Xingba has asked you to come here, which shows that you are a credible person, and I ask you, the terrain and features of the southern coastal generation, are you proficient?" In the past two years, Liu Yi has been extremely firm in implementing the strategy of recuperating in the Beiping rally, and he can even sit back and watch Cao Cao attack Jingzhou and Yizhou without moving, but this does not mean that he will not weaken the three southern heroes through various means, the economic war propaganda war is underway, and after having the naval navigation ability of the Flying Tiger Army, his eyes have gone to the coastline again.
The two big islands in China, Hainan Island in the late Han Dynasty had Zhuya Prefecture, and the treasure island was not included in the territory of the Han Dynasty at this time, it should be the credit of Soochow, and it is the strength of the naval army that makes them occupy this place, named Yizhou! Now the strength of their own naval army is still above the three southern heroes, if they can cross the sea to occupy these two islands, they can form a strategic support point in the backyard of the three heroes, once they wave their army south, they will have worries!
This plan began to be initially explored by the Xuzhou distribution of the Flying Tiger Army as early as March, and now Liu Yi does not dare to say that he gallops at will elsewhere in the Han Dynasty, but this sea frontier is the world of the Yan Army, and his biggest reliance is the existence of the Flying Tiger Army and the rich naval aviation experience accumulated for them by constantly transporting slaves to and from the two places of the Dahan Island Country! The navy, which is more superior to the navy, is almost a blank for the people of the world, and the only time they have an impression is the extremely successful cross-sea landing of Gan Ning in the Battle of Jizhou, and then Xingba relied on the strategy of surprise attack to take Jigu the granary of Jizhou in one fell swoop, laying a solid foundation for Liu Yi to win the battle between Yuan Shao, that is, after this battle, the world only knew a little about the new concept of naval warfare!
In Liu Yi's view, after his painstaking development, today's Flying Tiger Army should play a great role in future operations, in the Jiangxinzhou Water Battle of Yangzhou War, Gan Ning personally led the Flying Tiger Battleship to face the Jiangdong Naval Army that dominates the world with the strength of the Flying Tiger Army has shown an overwhelming advantage, but the role of the Flying Tiger Army is by no means the only one. Take Liu Bei's Yangzhou as an example, with further development and the continuous strengthening of warships, the Flying Tiger Army can launch a landing operation on any point of the coastline of thousands of miles, and strike a surprise blow to the enemy, but Liu Bei is unable to defend against this!
Of course, the Flying Tiger Army that landed in Jizhou at that time was only more than 15,000 people, and if you want to expand the scale, even with the strength of the Yan Army at this time, it is extremely difficult, although Yangzhou is unable to prevent the landing of the Flying Tiger Army, but it can move the important material base to a deeper interior in wartime, increase the length of the enemy's attack in order to be able to respond in the fastest time, and the possibility of success with more than 10,000 people is very weak, but once the scale is expanded, the risk will increase. Therefore, in Liu Yi's heart, the landing battle of the Flying Tiger Army is used as a strategic deterrent, as long as he does not make a move, it will always be a threat to the enemy, and once there is the cooperation of the ground forces, the landing war can play a greater role, after all, it is the army that plays a dominant role at this time!
However, the affairs of the military are fickle, as long as the enemy can be attacked, Liu Yi will never give up the verification of the feasibility of large-scale landing warfare, and the exploration of the treasure island is also for this purpose, once there is a stable naval base as a support, the risk of landing across the sea will be minimized! In the discussion about the naval army, Xingba once put forward a suggestion that Liu Yi was very interested in, that is, to send a team of elite soldiers to build up the strength of the Yan army in the coastal mountains of Jiaozhou for future needs, to put it bluntly, it was the same as Gan Ning's occupation of the mountain as the king back then!
It is precisely because of the experience of being a fair king in the Jingxiang generation that Gan Ning, who is dedicated to thinking about the eldest brother, will come up with this method, at this time there are many talents who occupied the mountain as the king in the Yan army, in addition to the Jinfan of Xingba, Zhang Yan, Zang Ba, Zhou Cang and others can be said to be experienced! And for Liu Yi, this tactic is also very familiar, didn't the old man rely on this method to win thousands of miles of rivers and mountains back then? If this method can be achieved, it can have the effect of making the backyard of the three southern heroes uneasy without taking the risk of large-scale landing, and with Liu Yi's understanding of this tactic and the righteousness in hand, this tactic has a great room for display!
Lang Sheng has always acted vigorously and resolutely, but it is also meticulous in everything, this strategy wants to succeed is a lot of prerequisites, in the choice of location he and Gan Ning are very consistent, the south of the land is near the sea and mountains, at this time Sun Ce and Shi Xie are in the big war, I am afraid that it will be difficult to divide the energy to take care of here for a while, and the timing is also excellent, but there must also be a person who is very familiar with the local terrain to guide, so as to be more successful, this big man is Gan Ning specially sent to meet with the eldest brother, He and his brother know the terrain of the Jiaonan generation very well, and it is extremely credible!
This person's surname is Xiong Shan Li, his brother Xiong Shan Yanai was the old buddy of Xingba in Jianghai Zhuang, Gan Ning broke his family in the troubled times of the Yellow Turban, and many brothers in Zhuangzhong came with him, and many generals in the Yan Army at this time were the people in Jianghai Zhuang at that time, of course, many fell on the battlefield of countless wars! As the overlord of the Yangtze River waterway, in his heyday, Gan Ning had more than 1,000 sons in his hands, and some of them stayed in the south for various reasons.
Xiong Shanya is one of them, Gan Ning left, Jianghaizhuang is absolutely not able to stay anymore, without the prestige of Jinfan, they don't want to vote under the command of others and chose to return to their hometown, at that time Xiong Shanli was only eleven years old, and their hometown is Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, with a skill trained under Gan Ning, Xiong Shanya is quite famous in the Jiaonan area, the land is sparsely populated, but the seafood is extremely rich, and it has also become the way of making a living for the Xiong brothers, Later, under the perennial attack of the Shi family, the two brothers had to leave their hometown again.
When the two brothers didn't go with Gan Ning, it was not unrighteous to Xingba, but the old mother was still serving by the eldest brother in his hometown. Now that the old mother is no longer there, the Shi family is very anxious to clean it up, and at this time, Gan Ning is already a famous Han general, and the two brothers left Jiaozhou and went all the way north to Xuzhou.
If you change the person, I haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years, I'm afraid the two still have scruples in their hearts, but Gan Ning has always been a righteous person, and he takes care of the old brothers, so the Xiong brothers went straight to the front of the Assassin's Mansion, and it happened that the day Xingba was on business in the house, and he was happy when he heard the news, and he walked out of the house to see the two brothers, although they had not seen each other for many years, but they still recognized the two at a glance, and personally invited them into the house to set up a banquet to welcome each other, and specially found a number of old brothers to accompany him. The Xiong brothers are grateful!
Later, when discussing this method of war between letters, considering the concerns in the eldest brother's heart, Gan Ning immediately thought of the two brothers, of course, this is after observing it for a period of time, and he has great trust in his old brother Gan Ning, but once it is related to the great cause of the eldest brother, he has to be cautious, more than ten years is enough time for a lot of things to happen.
After everything was confirmed, Gan Ning sent Xiong Shanli to Yecheng to report to Liu Yi about the matter of the south, and Liu Yi naturally would not be suspicious of the person sent by Xingba, and treated this Xiong Shanli very well, but made the eight-foot-tall man panic, and insisted on standing and answering, not only him, who had just entered the military camp, but also those old subordinates who had followed Liu Yi in the beginning were not used to sitting and talking in front of King Yan, even if they were ordered by Liu Yi to stop, but once they spoke, they were all straight. The respect for the general has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and is difficult to change!
"Back to King Yan, in the past few months, the old and second generals have been teaching their subordinates how to read maps, and their subordinates and brothers have kept in mind the terrain of several counties in the south of the sea, and said that they and their brothers drew it and were about to hand it over to King Yan this time!" At that time, Liu Yi gave Tian'er an important task as early as when he was in Youzhou was to collect maps of various places in detail for future use, but the terrain of Jiaozhou was too remote, even Liu Yi did not think that the Flying Tiger Army would be so powerful, so the map of Jiaozhou was the most sloppy. The terrain selection is extremely thorough, and now the silk silk presented to Liu Yi by Xiong Shan Li is this map.
"Okay, Xingba is fine, and your two brothers are also meritorious!" Now the mapping techniques of the instrument institute have also made great progress, and this fine map is clear in Liu Yi's eyes, and he said happily at the moment! With this map, the plan to send people to infiltrate can be implemented, of course, it has to go through more detailed arrangements, in the first battle of Sizhou, Liu Yi harassed the coalition army grain road with a small force of cavalry and waited for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, which was called wolf tactics at the time, and now these squads want to go deep behind enemy lines, but it can be called a lone wolf tactic!
