Chapter 62 Military Power
"The second step, after we win the war, we must make a look of powerlessness, retreat and repair the troops slightly, so that the remaining main force of Dong Zhuojun will no longer take us as the target, but face the Kwantung princes and let them eat dogs!" Yan Zhanshu said what he thought.
"Why do we have to retreat if we win?" Hu Cai said he didn't understand.
"Dong Zhuo's headquarters is the Xiliang cavalry, but the generals are not very powerful. This time, the soldiers and horses who came to attack should be them. However, Dong Zhuo still has 30,000 wolf riders under him, and the main general is the flying general Lu Bu, everyone has heard rumors about him. What I want to say is that everyone's estimation of him is still underestimated, his force has already stepped into the innate level, and it is by no means solved by the accumulation of troops, even if I can win by strategy, but the 30,000 wolf cavalry under his command is enough to defeat the remnants of our Yellow Turban Army. This is by no means what I want to see. Yan Zhanshu continued to analyze: "Guo Dashuai's original strategic idea is not wrong, the only thing that needs to be discussed is the timing. Only by beating the Xiliang army first and letting them know how powerful we are, will we not continue to fight with us, of course, we must take a step back and give them a reason to be a teacher. ”
"When Dong Zhuo's army and the Kwantung coalition army were both defeated, and we entered Hedong again with a heyday posture, what would Dong Zhuo do? He can only take the initiative to give up, leave Luoyang to us, and compete with the Kwantung coalition army! If you want us to lose both, he can make a profit! ”
Yan Zhanshu's analysis made Yang Feng admire it, and said secretly in his heart: "This new great sage and good teacher still has some scheming. He asked, "What will we do then?" ”
"What should I do?" Yan Zhanshu smiled wryly: "Of course we just grabbed a handful and left, and by the way, we set fire to Luoyang, anyway, this is a good thing done by Dong Zhuojun!" That's the third step! As soon as Luoyang is destroyed and most of the Han Zuo is destroyed, the princes will start the prelude to the struggle for hegemony, and our Yellow Turban Army will have a real chance to make a comeback! ”
Hearing that Yan Zhanshu showed the future scene in front of them step by step, the five of them were full of admiration. A voice sounded outside the tent: "The great sage and good teacher are really unparalleled in strategy. ”
"Who dares to make a noise when the great sage and good teacher are discussing with us!" Mrs. Guo was very annoyed.
"The handsome man is angry! It's no wonder that this is one of my horsemen, and his courage is extraordinary. Yang Feng immediately heard whose voice it was, and quickly made it clear again and again.
"Your men?" Yan Zhanshu thought of a person, and said quietly: "Listening to the voice, he is also a fierce general, call him in, let me wait and see, if you really have the ability, it is naturally not strange." If not, you should be punished for the crime of lax management of the army! ”
"Komeito, come in!" Yang Feng hurriedly greeted. An extremely majestic man with a Chinese character face walked in, with a yellow scarf on his head, and his bearing was amazing, and he made a circle to the six people and said: "Hedong Xu Huang Xu Gongming has seen the great handsome, the great sage and the good teacher, and the generals!" ”
"You are Hedong Xu Huang?" Yan Zhanshu looked at the general in front of him, he didn't have the slightest grasp of his heart, and he missed the loyalty in the real-world game very much, but for now, he could only use it, after all, this was the only general talent under his current command.
"I once heard that there are two people in Hedong who are brave, one is Guan Yu who I once killed, and the other is Xu Huang." As soon as the conversation changed, Yan Zhanshu asked, "Gongming, why did you vote for my Yellow Turban Army?" To be honest, Yan Zhanshu is not clear about this, and he is not sure about Xu Huang's heart, so he must ask, otherwise, some subsequent arrangements will be greatly discounted.
"Huang was originally a small official in Hedong, and was imprisoned by the envoy for small reasons, and was later rescued by General Engong Yang who broke through the county government, and followed Engong to protect his safety in order to repay his kindness." Xu Huang did not hide it at all, in the Han Dynasty, he attached great importance to the words filial piety and righteousness.
Since Yang Feng is kind to him, Xu Huang would not betray under normal circumstances. But here's the problem, Yang Feng later took refuge in the imperial court, what should he do? Yan Zhanshu turned around twice, and it is a completely different concept for a strategist and a human master!
Mrs. Guo looked at Yan Zhanshu, then at Xu Huang, and said: "Why hesitate about the great sage and good teacher, Xu Huang is such a strong man, since he voted for my Yellow Turban Army, he should be of great use." ”
That's right, Yang Feng took refuge in the imperial court, that was also after the heavy losses of the Bai Bo Army and the death of Mrs. Guo, I tossed the future things, and it was too immeasurable, and said with a smile: "I don't doubt Gongming, but Gongming is a person with both wisdom and bravery, and it is useless to be a cavalry governor." ”
"In this way, I originally wanted to separate the Yellow Turban Army from the peasants, select its strong and reorganized the army, and eliminate its old and weak for tuntian - the land in the east of the river is fertile, and the terrain is close to the Taihang Mountains in the north of Bingzhou, which can communicate with Zhang Yan of Montenegro, and there is a danger of Huguan in the east, only a few thousand elite soldiers are needed, which is enough to reject Jizhou outside the pass - it is the best place for my Yellow Turban Army to recuperate at this time, of course, we must first repel Dong Zhuo and the allied forces of the princes."
"My 100,000 Yellow Turban Army is enough to choose 40,000 veterans. The 40,000 veterans were divided into four, and I commanded 10,000 as the Chinese army; The left wing was commanded by Guo Shuai, with Hu Cai as his deputy; The striker is commanded by Yang Feng, and Xu Huang is the deputy; The right flank was commanded by Han Xian, with Li Le as his deputy. The veterans of each department are given priority to be selected under their command, so as to ensure the smooth flow of military orders to the greatest extent and not to be ignorant of the generals. ”
"After the division of each department is determined, a large-scale training will be carried out, and the food supply will be opened, and Dong Zhuojun will be attacked five days later! You are in charge of exploring the horses, and you must determine the detailed information of Dong Zhuojun who attacked. Yan Zhanshu settled the matter.
"No!" The six generals clasped their fists at the same time, and they were all convinced of Yan Zhanshu's plan, but they still had some doubts about his commander's talent. The upcoming battle is a touchstone to test whether the new great sage and mentor is not good enough to lead the Yellow Turban Army to victory.
After the tent was released, the horn sounded, and the original Baibo army was like a swarm of bees, quickly gathered, each looking for its own tribe - yes, at this time, the composition of the Baibo army was mixed, and even some Huns also joined in, not only bringing exquisite riding skills, but also some Hun habits, such as a group of people around their respective leaders to form a tribe.
The crowd gradually calmed down, Yan Zhanshu took the lead and boarded the point platform on the school field, followed by Guo Tai, followed by Hu Cai, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, and Xu Huang.
Seeing this order, Bai Bojun was a little commotional, and someone was whispering: "Why is Guo Shuai actually following behind General Yan Zheng?" What's going on? Others are asking, "Who is that strong man at the end?" Actually tied with several generals? At this time, Xu Huang's subordinates naturally proudly explained: "This is our cavalry governor, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, brave and brave!" ”
