Chapter 375: The Gap is Huge
The emotions of the four ladies of Fan Lihua could barely be controlled, but when they reached the five words "150,000 army", their delicate bodies were all shocked, and their frightened expressions could not restrain the beautiful faces. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even Fan Lihua, who has never been afraid of the sky and the earth, frowned, "Husband, I didn't expect Yuan Laogou to use so many soldiers and horses, 150,000 troops, which is not a small number." ”
This figure is indeed somewhat unexpected.
Of course, Zhang Yuan remembered that in history, when Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle, when Yuan Shao attacked Dong Zhuo, he only brought 100,000 troops at most.
Now Yuan Shao's opponent has become himself, but his strength is nearly 50,000 more than in history, an increase of almost fifty percent.
However, the appearance of Zhang Yuan changed history, and the time when Yuan Shao unified Hebei was also one or two years earlier than before.
Zhang Yuan guessed that it may be the time of the past two years that made Zhang Duo's Hebei soldiers and civilians survive death, and Yuan Shao would naturally be able to piece together more troops than in history.
What about the middle......
"I think I was oppressed by Wang Hui back then, I didn't have a single soldier in my hands, but I took the entire Central Plains, now I have tens of thousands of male soldiers, and there are so many good generals, the situation is not many times better than back then, what else is there to be afraid of, you don't need to worry, the sky is falling, I have my own husband and I will bear it for you."
Zhang Yuan responded to the worries of Fan Lihua and the other ladies with some bold and fearless words, so he went straight to the outer hall, and summoned the ministers of Hou Wu in the starry night to discuss the countermeasures.
After receiving the order, he immediately sent his own soldiers to the various mansions of Chang'an overnight, and summoned everyone to come to discuss the matter for an hour, Gao Gong, Touch Long, Guan Zhong, Ran Min, Xiao Maha, Hua Rong, Zhang Ji, Ji Chang, Li Dingguo, Qubei and other heroes in Chang'an rushed to meet in the Dasima Mansion.
……
In the main hall of the Great Sima Mansion, the candles are blazing, shining like day.
The expressions of the marquis and warriors were solemn, lined up on both sides of the steps, and the word solemn was written on everyone's face.
The news that Yuan Shao was waving his army to the south had already spread, and the Lord Gong Xingxing Ye summoned them to come, naturally in order to prepare for the war.
They know that tonight's emergency military meeting will directly determine the strategy of this life-and-death battle.
Zhang Yuan, who went to sit on the top, glanced at the bottom of the stairs, and saw that it was almost there, Fang slowly got up, and said in a loud voice: "Yuan Shao has done his best to conquer the country, and the 150,000-foot cavalry army is heading south, you must have known this news, the decisive battle between the north and the south is no longer avoidable, and now I am calling you here, that is, everyone will discuss a strategy to deal with the enemy, and you can speak freely." ”
Zhang Yuan said the news in person, and everyone was shocked, and their spirits immediately became excited.
Then, Zhang Yuan announced the latest information to everyone.
The remaining pieces of information are all used by Song Yu and Yuan Shaoruzhong.
This time to the south, Yuan Shao mobilized the four prefectures of Youji and Qingdao, with a total of 150,000 troops to the south.
Of these, there were about 130,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry.
In addition to Yuan Shanghe and Guo Tu who stayed in Yecheng, Yan Liang, Hou Chou, Zhang Jaw, Ju Yi, and the generals who went to see it, Zhang You, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Feng Ji and other strategists all accompanied the expedition.
In addition to Yuan Shao's own generals, Wang Hui, who was a guest secretary, and Song Qian, Wang Fei, and Lian three generals under Wang Hui, also went on the expedition together.
Not to mention Yuan Shao's troops, just his set of Hou Wu Zhai Di is really luxurious and enviable.
Yan Liang, Hou Chou, Song Qian, and Wang Fei are all armed forces with 10,000 enemies, and the world's top generals, looking at the sky, are also very few existences, and in Zhang Yuan's army, only Zu Di, Xiao Maha and Ran Min can compete with them by force.
The rest are like Zhang Jaw, and the big swordsman under his command is an elite division, and this person is also extremely capable of commanding troops, and he was even the pillar of the western Wei State in history.
As for that Ju Yi, it was also because Zhang Yuan changed history and changed his fate by the way, and this person did not die.
And this Ju Yi, the first crossbowman under his command, is not inferior to Hua Rong's sharpshooter battalion, and he even destroyed Gongsun Zhan's invincible White Horse Yizun back then.
The military general Zhai Di is so luxurious, and the strategists are even more dazzling.
Tian Feng's judgment is amazing, he is like a god, his wisdom is comparable to Jia Xu's, and that frustration is also the top level in the world.
Tian Feng in history should have offended Yuan Shao and was imprisoned, but he didn't expect his fate to be changed, and he went south with Yuan Shao.
The rest of Zhang You, Feng Ji and other strategists are all human spirits, if they are not addicted to infighting, they can pull out any of them, and they can exert immeasurable resourcefulness energy.
With such a luxurious lineup, coupled with an army of 150,000 foot cavalry, it is definitely an army that can sweep the sky.
According to the intelligence, Yuan Shao's army will be assembled in Yecheng in a few days, and then Hou will move south, first to reach Liyang, an important town on the north bank of the Chenghe River, and then cross the river from Baima or Yanjin, and the army will go south and go straight to Chang'an.
This route is the shortest route from Yecheng to Chang'an.
Although Zhang Yuan seized the Son of Heaven, he did not move the capital, and still set the capital in Zhang County, Chang'an is not only the imperial capital, but also Zhang Yuan's ruler.
Yuan Shao raised troops in the name of the Qing monarch and the thieves of the countries, so he naturally wanted to go straight to Chang'an.
As long as he captures Chang'an, he will be able to snatch the Son of Heaven and destroy Zhang Yuan's ruler.
Chang'an will be Yuan Shao's ultimate goal.
Yuan Shao's strength is stronger than Yuan Shao's strength in history.
Zhang Yuan, however, is much weaker than Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao's opponent in history.
Dong Zhuo in history, in addition to the three states of Liangxu, Henan, Huainan, and half of Sizhou, also owned a small half of Liangzhou.
And now, Zhang Yuan has no hands in Liangzhou County, and Sizhou only controls the dilapidated Luoyang area.
Moreover, at that time, Dong Zhuo relied on the strength of the Central Plains, which had been in business for many years, to compete with Yuan Shao, while Zhang Yuan relied on the Central Plains, which Dong Zhuo had just grabbed for less than half a year, to fight with Yuan Shao.
Zhang Yuan's weakness is also a matter of course.
"Although the Yuan thief is strong, the number of troops seems to be as many as 150,000, but it is divided into two factions, fighting each other secretly, and the internal friction is also very great, although our army can be used for a frontal decisive battle, there are only 40,000 people, but we are united, up and down, as long as we fight to the death, the chance of victory is still very great."
Gao Gong's words made clear the advantages of both the enemy and us.
Zhang Yuan naturally couldn't be clearer about what he analyzed.
Although there are many Xiao talents and heroes under Yuan Shao, it is a pity that Yuan Shao has not done enough to suppress the factional infighting, so that those Jingxiao under his command, led by Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, are divided into two factions, each with a ghost.
The factional struggle will inevitably take the interests of one's own faction as the top priority, but it will disregard Yuan Shao's overall situation and will seriously weaken the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shao's army.
