Chapter 76: Yuan Tan's Calculations

The Northern Legion, the legion dominated by Wang Yu, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu and Tai Shici were all included under Wang Yu.

The legion has a strong military autonomy, and the current reserves of military supplies are completely enough for them to fight a battle for about three to four months. Wang Yu planned to take advantage of Yuan Shao's focus on the Jizhou region to attack Yanzhou and Qingzhou with all his might, and at least take a few counties.

Last year, Langxie Palace was fully relocated to Guanzhong, and Langxie County didn't have anything to worry about. In fact, it's nothing if you really want to fight, Wang Yu's side has already provided him with a lot of jade talismans, and the total amount of these jade talismans is afraid that the entire Lang Evil Palace does not add up.

"Send Pang Tong to serve as an apprentice under Wang Yu!" Li Ming thought for a moment and gave the order again.

Pang Tong came to take the exam the year before last, and as a result, the identity of the first place in the palace examination got the status of champion. I have to say that he looks a little ugly, but Zhang Song in the previous sessions is actually similar.

After that, Pang Tong, with his excellent military staff ability, skipped the Hanlin Academy and directly entered the army as a staff officer, and soon entered Guo Jia's sight, thinking that his talent was better than that of Xi Zhicai, and there was not much gap between him and him, so he focused on training.

"Pang Tong's talent really needs to go to the front line to experience it." Guo Jia nodded, Pang Tong can be regarded as his first disciple, so naturally he has to focus on cultivation, and it is not okay to stay in the rear all the time.

Relatively speaking, Wang Yu accepted Zhou Yu as a disciple three years ago, and now he is by his side as a deputy, and according to the results reported in the previous two years, he said that Zhou Yu's talent is indeed good, and he may be able to become the commander of the Duzhen side, and he also intends to train him in this direction.

"By the way, transfer Xu Shu over! After two years of study, he has learned almost everything in the books, and this time, according to the previous agreement, he was given the establishment of a school captain, and it depends on his ability to go where he goes! Li Ming continued.

In fact, there is one thing that Guo Jia doesn't know, that is, Pang Tong is also included as a subordinate, and after the LV50 level, Li Ming still has a subordinate quota that has not been used. However, the most embarrassing thing is that the maximum subordinate quota is only 5 people, after all, at LV60, there is no new subordinate quota.

Originally, Li Ming planned to give this quota to Zhuge Liang, after all, it was not bad to control him with a die-hard program. Later, after the feedback from the academy, I learned that Zhuge Liang's political talent was better than his military talent, and he was afraid that he would have to serve as a civil official in the future. In this way, whether it is a fierce general or a hero, or a military advisor and a monk, it is not suitable for him.

After careful consideration, Li Ming finally chose Pang Tong, and as a result, Pang Tong came up, which was LV23, and produced the first professional skill 'geographical advantage'.

Advantageous location: In a terrain environment that is advantageous to your side, consume 50 internal strength per second, and the enemy's defense will be reduced by 20%.

As expected, the professional skills of the military division are mainly used in strategy and clan warfare. Seeing this professional skill, Li Ming was a little helpless, if a military division was born earlier, maybe in the previous battle, the number of casualties in his own army could drop by more than three percent.

As for Xu Shu, martial arts have not fallen in the past two years, and I have read a lot of various books. Zhu Jun also said that it was a pity, he had sworn not to accept apprentices again, otherwise he would never let go of Xu Shu, a good seedling.

"Xu Shu is also a talent!" Guo Jia nodded, these good seedlings in the army, he has a memo. Xu Shu's talent is actually similar to Zhou Yu, but he is a bit wild, he needs to study for a long time, and it is best to exercise under Wang Yu.

The next day, the two received an assignment, which made the two stunned, and then happily packed up their packages and began to go north.

At the same time, Tai Shi Ci had already begun a full-scale attack on Langxi County, without the containment of Langxi Palace, the entire territory of Langxi County had been recovered in less than ten days, and the entire territory of Xuzhou had been recovered. Immediately, he brazenly went north and entered Beihai County.

Zhou Taibu, who was stationed in Huang County, Donglai County, also brazenly launched an attack on Donglai County. Zhu Hao, who began to serve in the army and is now under the command of Zhou Tai, soon conquered the three county towns east of Huangxian County, and completely brought the coastal areas under the rule of the navy. At the same time, he continued to go south and attacked Buqi County, with the ultimate goal of attacking Beihai County like Tai Shici.

Affected by the ice and snow in winter, it took Yuan Tan more than ten days to prepare the army and logistics materials, and almost emptied the entire treasury of Beihai County. He thought about holding on and waiting for reinforcements, but Guo Tu, the military advisor under his command, thought that this move was inappropriate, and now Yanzhou is also facing a full-scale attack by the royal family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to send people over, Yuan Shao wants to come to support, and the imperial army is likely to take advantage of the weakness.

If there are no reinforcements, then there is no point in holding on to them, but rather a way to die.

"So what to do?" Yuan Tan is a pure martial artist, and he is not good at political strategy, so he is not liked by Yuan Shao. Now he is even more at a loss when he hears the words, and using his brain is not his strong point.

"Taking the initiative, Tai Shici was originally from Donglai County and was quite familiar with Qingzhou. This is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage, he will inevitably choose the fastest route to attack us, and we can also judge their offensive line and ambush them! The meaning of the subordinates ......" Guo Tu said here, and came to the military map, "Set up an ambush here!" ”

Yuan Tan looked at it, but it is the area of Chang'an County, here is the remnant of the Taishan area, in summer it is rich in vegetation, but now in winter, the mountain forest seems a little empty.

"I'm afraid that the other party won't be fooled, right?" Yuan Tan couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

"Hahaha, the eldest prince thinks so, then the other party will inevitably think that this place is not suitable for ambushes. Of course, if under normal circumstances, it is really difficult to ambush, I am afraid that there will be a prince Lao here to act as a bait. Guo Tu smiled.

"Tell me, if it really works, what if it is a bait!?" Yuan Tan was immediately interested.

Three days later, in snowy weather, Tai Shici's army had just captured Chang'an County and rested for a day. Coal was constantly being transported from the rear to the front line, and with down jackets in place, the soldiers were no longer too afraid of the cold weather. It's just that this weather is going to fight, which is obviously not suitable, and the workload of military doctors has increased a lot.

"It's a bit choking to take down Beihai County, and it is estimated that it will be the limit to advance to Chunyu County at most!" Wei Yan looked at the map, and after this damn weather, he said to Tai Shici.

"General Zhengbei, just ordered us to strive to occupy more territory, if it really can't work, let's go here!" Tai Shi Ci looked at the map when he heard this, and then nodded. Keep fighting, I'm afraid there will be non-combat attrition!

"General, Yuan Tan's general Lu Xiang is calling for battle outside the city!" Early the next morning, the guards below came to report.

"They're either crazy or they're cheating!" Tai Shi Ci and Wei Yan exchanged glances, and everyone meant this.

"Here...... Let's do it! Wei Yan pointed to the map, this mountainous area is very suspicious, "Do you eat this bait?" ”

"Someone else sent it to the door, it's a pity for me to abandon it, and I deserve it!" Tai Shi Ci teased.

"Do you want to eat or not?" Wei Yan said with a smile.

"Eat! Why don't you eat it?! Tai Shi Ci laughed, "Tell the Shanyue Legion to prepare for battle!" ”

"Whoa!" When the guards heard this, they gladly accepted the order and went down to give the order. A quarter of an hour later, a force of about 10,000 men quickly assembled and was ready to go.
