Chapter 171: Super-scale Battle (Second Update)

What kind of goods are the three soldiers and horses of Gongsun Du? In addition to the original 100,000 border troops in Liaodong, most of the others are miscellaneous armies, which were formed in less than three months. Of course, Wuheng is also half of the elite, after all, Wuheng is a nomadic people, and the young and strong in the clan are familiar with each other from the horses, as long as they have a war horse, they can become a qualified cavalryman.

After all, the Southern Huns War, what really put into the battlefield was more than 200,000 regular troops in northern Xinjiang and more than 100,000 cavalry troops of the Southern Huns, and the Qinglin Army was just to help, but this time it was different, almost all of them put into the battlefield were regular troops.

This war has attracted the attention of countless people, and the imperial court attaches great importance to it, the Yuan family is secretly and naturally making repeated actions, remotely controlling the three coalition forces of Gongsun Du, if you really explore, in fact, this war is a battle between the Yuan family and Liu Tai, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zhan are just executors, and Wu Heng is the pond fish that has been affected.

Gongsun Du is a small Taishou, plus the name of a captain who protects Wuheng, if it weren't for the support of the Yuan family, how could he dare to call out Liu Tai in Liaodong? Even with the power of one Taishou, holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Clear-eyed people, including Ling Yanjing, know that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan are just a lackey under Yuan Kui, tripping Liu Tai's lackey, Yuan Kui gives them power and power, just because they are located behind Liu Tai, they can give Liu Tai a fatal blow at any time, as long as Liu Tai makes the slightest mistake, Liu Tai can be put to death!

This time, Gongsun Du got Liu Tai's eastern expedition to Wuheng, and it took half a month to make a decision, what was he waiting for? Naturally, now that he has been appointed as Taichang, Yuan Kui's order, if there is no public opinion generated by Yuan's support for Gongsun Du in the court and responsible for attacking Liu Tai, Gongsun Du will definitely not be able to hold out, and let Wu Heng fend for himself.

Gongsun Du is very tolerant, not enough sure, will never rush to attack, Liu Tai's defeat in Zhangwu, passed to Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du did not hesitate, directly ordered the four counties of Liaodong to reorganize the army, allocate materials to the north, and ordered Gongsun Zan to assemble 50,000 elite iron cavalry at any time.

After all, Gongsun Chan is a guest Gongsun Du's territory, if there is no support from Gongsun Du's grain and grass, he can't afford to raise 50,000 iron cavalry, and without soldiers and horses, how can Gongsun Chan gain a foothold in this northern Xinjiang?

In desperation, there is also a sense of shame in order to repay the past, and half-pushed and half-agreed to the meaning of Gongsun Du to attack Liu Tai, after all, Gongsun Du still has the name, as the captain of Wuheng, seeing that Wuheng was destroyed, he really couldn't say that he couldn't do it.

As for the hatred between Gongsun Chan and Wu Heng, in the face of the general trend, he can only suppress it, because Gongsun Chan knows very well that if there is no Gongsun Du to support him, his territory will be taken away by Liu Tai in the blink of an eye.

Gongsun Zhan, who received the order of Gongsun Du's transfer of troops, immediately mobilized the troops and horses of all parts of Liaodong's vassal states, including the border army, a total of 50,000, and Gongsun Chan personally commanded the troops to the Great Wall defense line, waiting for the arrival of Gongsun Du's 200,000 troops, and then went out of the pass together to fight Liu Tai.

In this expedition against Liu Tai, Gongsun Du personally went out to fight, with Liu Yi as the military advisor and Yang Yi as the deputy general, entrusted the four counties of Liaodong to Xuanwu Taishou Gongqi Chou to garrison, with full authority to control the military and political affairs of the four counties of Liaodong, and Lelang Taishou Yang was finally responsible for transporting grain and grass for the front line.

Gongqi Chou is a good friend of Gongsun Du, and also the former captain of Wuheng, because of the battle of Hushan Pass, Wu Heng made a rebellion inside, and was sentenced by the imperial court to be unfavorable for his supervision, and was deprived of his powers.

Gongqi Chou's loyalty, Gongsun Du did not have the slightest worry, after all, Gongqi Chou and Gongsun Du are not only friends who grew up since childhood, but also have an in-law relationship with Gongsun Du, Gongqi Chou's youngest daughter, has long been set as the wife of Gongsun Kang, the son of Gongsun Du, as long as they wait until Gongsun Kang and his line of crown ceremony, the two sides can become in-laws, it can be said that both glory and loss are lost, Gongsun Du will hand over the rear to his in-laws, what is there to worry about.

As for Yang Zhong's early years, he was Gongsun Du's general, and he was very good at transporting grain and grass.

This time Gongsun Du went to fight Liu Tai, it can be said that he emptied his family funds, except for thousands of county soldiers in the four counties of Liaodong, there were almost no troops left to garrison, not that Gongsun Du did not think that Liu Tai was likely to copy his lair, but because Gongsun Du believed that he could definitely drag Liu Tai on the frontal battlefield.

Although Liu Tai declared that the 600,000 army would march north to Wuheng when he swore it, anyone with a discerning eye knew that after the disarmament of 500,000, Liu Tai did not have more than 600,000 troops to go north at all, unless he really evacuated all the border defenses, but everyone believed that Liu Tai would never dare to do this, because the imperial court had begun to guard against Liu Tai, and under the multi-party action, as long as Emperor Ling gave an order, Liu Tai Quartet was the imperial court's rebellious army.

Liu Tai didn't dare, indeed, Liu Tai didn't mobilize the rear, nor did he dare to evacuate the rear, but he just used the method of secretly replacing the regular army with the retired Qinglin Army and hiding on the front line of Lulongsai, ready to attack the three divisions of Gongsun Du at any time.

Liaodong is empty, Liaodong subject country is not much better, Liaodong subject country is adjacent to Liu Tai under the rule of Liaoxi, Liaoxi after Liu Tai years of operation, is the bridgehead to capture Liaodong, can be said to be a soldier of fine food, there are as many as 50,000 border troops stationed in it all the year round, plus the 150,000 regular army transferred from Gao Shun to the north, the existing garrison of Liaoxi is more than 200,000.

The 200,000 army is not so easy to hide, and it is strange that Gongsun Du is clever and has closed all the checkpoints from Liaoxi to Liaodong, even if someone gets the news, it is not so easy to send it to Liaodong.

Gao Shun is not an idiot, knowing that this army is absolutely not allowed to be discovered by Gongsun Du, so the military system was implemented in Liaoxi, and no one was allowed to leave the territory of Liaoxi, and in the west of the Liaodong checkpoint, 30,000 troops were dispatched to rotate the defense at night, and not a single bird was allowed to be put in Liaodong.

With such close measures, coupled with the checkpoints in Liaodong, even Gongsun Du's meticulous work is inseparable from Liaoxi County, let alone ordinary people? Gao Shun is the supreme military commander of Northern Xinjiang, second only to Liu Tai, and has a high prestige in the army, and under the command of the 200,000 army, no one dares to violate military discipline, because they all feel that the war is coming, and this time the enemy is likely to be "their own people", and no one dares to let Gao Shun kill chickens and monkeys in such a tense atmosphere.

Gongsun Du didn't get much news, only the Liaoxi Army strictly guarded against the merchants who came and went, which was already expected by Gongsun Du, if there was no movement in the Liaoxi Border Army, Gongsun Du might really be suspicious, after all, the 50,000 border troops in Liaoxi were not put there to see. Of course, Gongsun Du would not think that if Liu Tai's war situation was unfavorable, the western Liaoxi border army would enter Liaodong to make trouble, because Gongsun Du believed that as long as Liu Tai's eastern expeditionary troops could not stand the pressure of his three coalition forces, the most likely thing was to transfer the Liaoxi troops north to help.

In this way, Liaoxi County is empty, Gongsun Du can not only take the opportunity to cut off Liu Tai's grain route, but also take Liaoxi under his own rule, and directly approach Liu Tai's base camp Huacheng, for Huacheng, Gongsun Du has long coveted it, in Gongsun Du's heart, this Huacheng is much more important than the entire Youzhou, the perfect defense system is not at all comparable to those ordinary cities in Youzhou, with Huacheng, even if Gongsun Du is a mercenary self-reliance, it is not impossible, of course, Gongsun Du will not have the courage to stand on his own.
