Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

In recent days, Xun You has been studying the Xianbei ministries so that there can be more rigorous planning to implement.

"The Great General is wise! The first time we gave him gold, silver and jewelry, we had to give them to Helian in concealment, and the second time we deliberately exposed them to other Xianbei tribes, so that other Xianbei tribes could intercept them, and left a key letter. Xun You said slowly.

Why do you send it in two installments?

Xun You's strategy made Jia Xu smile and nod, greedy people are always endless.

The first time let He Lian taste some sweetness, let He Lian believe in them, and the second time made the Xianbei tribes alienate him, and at the same time made He Lian jealous of the tribes under his command.

"What should be written on the letter? Talent and Lian and other Xianbei tribes infighting. Liu Fan asked.

"Tuoba Xianbei Department and Xianbei Shan Yuting have always been at odds, and the destruction of Tuoba Xianbei is done in collusion with us, not what I want." Xun Yu replied.

planted the blame for Helian, so that the central Xianbei tribes thought that Helian borrowed a knife to kill people.

"I have a small trick that is not worth mentioning, which can make the Central Xianbei tribes even more believe that He Lian is borrowing a knife to kill people." At this time, Jia Xu interjected.

He lowered his head and told Xun You and Liu Fan about that little trick.

"Thank you Wen and brother for your plan." Xun You thanked him.

"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it." Jia Xu waved his hand modestly.

"The two of them are really my right-hand men, and there are two of them, why worry about the Han not prospering? Today, worship Jia Xu as the right army division, worship Xun Yu as the left army division, and sit as a strategy. Words and deeds are wise, and the armies cannot fail to listen, but can supervise military affairs. Liu Fan got up and bowed to the two.

Strategist, one of the leaders. As the commander-in-chief's deputy.

In this era, the status of military divisions is not high, and there is no real name.

Liu Fan worshiped Jia Xu as the right army division, and Xun You was the left army division, but the rights given were not small.

Although there is no rank, it is indirectly above the generals.

At a time when the world is constantly in turmoil and the world needs strong support from intelligence, the status of military divisions is much higher.

In the troubled times, the military division must have the right to leave and right the army, and the fierce generals under Liu Fan, such as Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, have a relatively big temper. Will lead the army to fight, good at charging into battle.

If they lead the army to fight, they will be followed by a strategizing military advisor, and the civil and military complement each other, they will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Military divisions cannot interfere with the training of generals and soldiers, and only give advice, which is a sign of respect for generals.

"Thank you, lord!" Jia Xu and Xun You knelt down together.

At this time, Xun Yu called Liu Fan the lord for the first time, and recognized as Liu Fan's retainer for the first time. Not only because Liu Fan made him take on a heavy position, but also because Liu Fan convinced him.

Jia Xu's heart is even more difficult to understand, Han is right-respected, which shows the new appointment of the lord to him.

In troubled times, not only the monarch chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the monarch.

In contrast, courtiers prefer to display their ambitions and not bury their talents.

It is painful for a person with aspirations to not meet him. No one wants to be like a pearl in the sea.

Liu Fan helped the two of them up, feeling great in his heart, Jia Xu and Xun You are among the best strategists in history, and they are both good at military affairs, as long as they follow the advice, with their foresight, plus take precautions, they will be able to draw up a seamless strategy, so that they are foolproof and invulnerable.

Liu Fan looks over the successes and failures of history, he can know how to make good use of others, and he can humbly accept the suggestions of others.

Liu Fan immediately ordered the positions and powers of Jia Xu, the division of the right army, and Xun You, the division of the left army, to be announced.

They did not belong to the imperial court, they belonged to the shogunate. While serving as a military advisor, he can receive an official position.

As long as the authority of the Hussar General's Mansion remains, the left and right military divisions can participate in the military planning.

"Tell the general that Guan Yu and other generals brought back 13,000 horses, plus the 2,000 good horses captured earlier, a total of 15,000 horses. There were 10,000 head of cattle and 100,000 sheep, and there were no treasures such as gold, silver, and jewelry. After Cao finished counting the spoils, he came over to report to Liu Fanyu.

Plundered Tuoba Xianbei to obtain 11,000 horses, and Zhan Ke's most subordinates obtained nearly 2,000 war horses.

Ambush Tuoba obtains 3,000 war horses, but there are thousands of war horses that are injured, and even if they are treated and cultivated for a while, they may not be able to return to the peak, so they are not counted.

"These fifteen thousand horses are of mixed quality, and those who are used as war horses by Xianbei must be good horses. The horses that came back from the raids of Tuoba Xianbei were many inferior horses, which could only be used as horses, and good horses were necessary to train elite cavalry. You will select the good horses, and the inferior horses will keep the baggage. Liu Fan instructed the soldiers who accompanied the army.

"No!" Cao received the order with the army.

After two days of testing and screening, out of 11,000 war horses, 6,000 were selected as war horses, and the remaining 5,000 were used as horses.

In this battle, a total of 10,000 horses were obtained.

But this is far from satisfying Liu Fan's goal, he needs a steady stream of excellent war horses, and he also needs to have his own horse farm.

Once there is a wounded horse, the cavalry will immediately replace the new horse.

At the time of the expedition, each soldier had at least two or even three horses.

Even the infantry had to mount their horses and increase the speed of their march in order to achieve the goal of surprise.

The infantry is in formation, and with the help of superior terrain, it can burst out with more power than cavalry.

If the infantry wears heavy armor and is equipped with a sword, it is a sharp weapon to restrain the cavalry.

The Mo knife is too difficult to do, and Shen Tu Steel invented the steel filling method, just to cast the Mo knife, and it has been nearly a year, and there is no clue.

Within a few days, all the horse meat had been distributed to the people of nearby counties and townships.

The battlefield has been completely cleaned, and the black earth and blood-stained stone walls show that a major battle had taken place not long ago.

As for the discord plan, Jia Xumao recommended himself and went to Xianbei Shan Yuting in person to lobby and connect.

Liu Fan didn't want Jia Xu to take risks, but there was no one around him, so after thinking about it, it was most appropriate for Jia Xu to go.

For Jia Xu's safety, Liu Fan sent Zhao Yun, the general of love, to protect Jia Xu to Danhan Mountain Shan Yuting.

Danhan Mountain is the famous Daqing Mountain in later generations.

Danhan Mountain is the main body of the Yinshan Mountain Range, the Yinshan Mountain Range is from east to west, Danhan Mountain is located in the middle of the Yinshan Mountain Range, the south of the Hetao Plain.

Due to the abundant water flow, fertile pastures and lush forests, Danhan Mountain is one of the favorite habitats of nomads in all dynasties.

In order to temporarily satisfy Helian's greed, Liu Fan took out two thousand catties of gold and a batch of jade jewelry, all of which were plundered from the Tuoba Xianbei Department.

Give first and then take, Liu Fan will sooner or later drive the Hu people out of the Yin Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles.

Sending the enemy a lot of money is just an expedient measure, and Liu Fan is not afraid that he will not be able to get it back.

"The general can rest assured, Zilong will definitely protect the safe return of the military division, if the military division is missing a hair, Zhao Yun will raise his head to see him."

After Liu Fan explained to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun swore and said.

"Zilong is a strong general, with thousands of troops and horses, exploring and taking things. This trip will definitely buy time for our army to use the Discord Meter next. Liu Fan nodded with satisfaction.

After the Great War, there was politics.

Between countries, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Old-fashioned political tactics are often more effective than war.
