This discussion is half a day.

Wang Yu put forward a general direction, and the generals brainstormed and perfected the details.

Wang Yu summed up several major difficulties in the Eastern Crusade, the most basic is supply, the three armies have not moved, grain and grass first, this is a fixed number, no matter who commands the battle, must be considered first.

Now the Shanhaiguan has not been built, and there is no talk of the Liaoxi Corridor, but the route of the army is actually from the position of the Shanhaiguan in later generations, crossing the entire Liaoxi Corridor, and attacking the Wuhuan people entrenched in the north of Jinzhou.

This route, the Ming army of later generations walked many times, in addition to the Sui and Tang armies in order to conquer Goguryeo also walked several times, in the Han Dynasty, except for Gongsun Zhan, there are few people so popular, just for Liaodong.

Therefore, although in a strict sense, Wang Yu's art of war is not as good as that of Zhang Liao and others, he has the most say in the issue of the Eastern Crusade because he has rich experience.

This route is smooth and easy to march, but the difficulty is that after the logistics line is too long, it is easy to be outflanked by people. The combat power of the Qingzhou army is very strong, but because Wang Yu has always asked the army to be professional, the militia can be supplemented when defending, and when it is not far from the mainland, the militia can also be mobilized as auxiliaries to defend the supply line, but there is no way in Liaodong.

Linyu to Liucheng is thousands of miles away, if every other distance, set up a fortress or camp, that is, imitate the tactics of the Guanning army at the end of the light, even if you win, you will drag yourself to death. If you don't, it's dangerous.

What's more, the Eastern Crusade is a fast fight, of course Wang Yu will not consume ten days and a half on the road first, so that Badun and the others can prepare calmly and connect everywhere, and Youzhou is now short of manpower everywhere, and he can't find so many people to feed him thousands of miles.

So, this first problem is a bit tricky. Wang Yu's solution, of course, was to supply by sea.

"Fortunately, it is the Bohai Sea here, so you don't have to worry about wind and waves, but the problem is not without ......"

Wang Yu raised two fingers and said in a deep voice: "Although the Bohai Sea is relatively small and the ships are safer, there are always accidents. Wen Ze, you are the best at planning and scheduling, do you have a good strategy? ”

Good fighters have no outstanding achievements, before the victory of the horseshoe beam, Yu Ban showed such a style. Before arriving at Zhongshan, more than half of the journey was in the Montenegrin military defense area under the control of Zhang Yan, and it took nearly ten days to go, but there was no conflict with the Montenegrin army and civilians during the whole trip.

This kind of military discipline may not be anything in the modern and modern armies of later generations, but in the era before these two thousand years, it was probably only possible for the Han army to do it, and Yu Ban was the best among the Han generals.

After arriving in Zhongshan Kingdom, due to the change in the battle situation, the marching rhythm of the Yulin Army changed many times in a row. From the normal march, to the division of troops, and finally to the rapid march of soldiers and horses before the grain and grass, for any army and general, this change will bring a lot of pressure, but Yu Ban was not affected at all, and successfully completed the task assigned by Wang Yu.

The most shocking thing is that after such twists and turns, except for the wounded and sick, no soldier in the Yulin Army was left behind, let alone deserters who were commonplace in this era.

Yu Ban's only weakness is his lack of judgment, and if there is no new order, he will try to get as close to the direction as the initial order. If Li Shiyi hadn't arrived in time that day, Yu Ban Bacheng would have been grinding with Xianbei people for ten days and half a month, annihilating the other party at the lowest cost, instead of forcibly launching a decisive battle.

Therefore, Wang Yu has always felt that Yu Ban is the first deputy general of the Three Kingdoms, as long as Yu Ban is in the army, any complicated affairs such as logistics supply, camping, and training soldiers can be thrown to him, and the chief general only needs to concentrate on the overall strategy.

He thought so and did so, so he directly named Yu Ban.

"Perhaps we can follow the example of drifting Yujin and divide the entire western Liaoning corridor into several sections, build a simple wharf for each section, build a simple wharf for each section, and then build a wharf first, and store several days' worth of grain in each section, leaving a small number of soldiers to defend. In this way, if you encounter a small group of rangers, you can defend yourself by relying on the village, and if the enemy army attacks in a big way, you will burn the grain and grass, board the boat and retreat. ”

There is a lot of difference between the marching speed of the ancient army and the modern army, and Wang Yu often went to military forums in his previous life, and saw many people discussing the issue of ancient marching speed.

It turned out that he was not sure, and he didn't know if the physical fitness of the ancients was too poor, and the military discipline was not strict enough, so the long-distance march was very slow. After he became familiar with this era, he finally discovered that the speed of its implementation of the army was completely following the speed of logistics and transportation.

Therefore, the speed of the Taishan army forcibly traveling more than 100 miles in one day and night is not an exaggeration, because at that time, the soldiers only brought weapons and dry food for the day, and the heavy objects of iron armor were transported with the army by horse-drawn carriages, and the soldiers only needed to hurry, so the speed was extremely fast.

Prior to this, when the Taishan army went north from Gaotang, it could only walk forty or fifty miles a day, and this was still on the galloping road.

Solving the supply problem by sea is not only for the sake of safety, but also for the sake of speed. If it was possible, Wang Yu wouldn't mind a rush battle in Liaodong to deter Zhuhu.

Yu Ban's proposal was in Wang Yu's arms, and the generals thought for a moment and nodded one after another, only Xu Huang had a little concern: "Brother Wen Ze's method should be feasible, but the only one who can worry about it is that the Hu people have touched the law, and it will be bad if they sweep all the way along the way." ”

In the battle of Juyong, the Taishan army suffered a lot of casualties, and more than a month later, it still failed to fully recover, so the main position of the Eastern Expedition could only be given to the Yulin army. Xu Huang is not unwilling, but he considers the problem from the perspective of a bystander, and consciously sees more clearly in the trade-offs between pros and cons.

"Then don't worry." Zhang Liao's analysis was also very fast: "In addition to transporting supplies, the navy also has the role of watching the enemy. Wouldn't it be much easier to sacrifice a few grain shelters and attract Hu Qi to the coastline to annihilate than to pursue them deep into the enemy's territory? ”

"Wen Yuan saw this, but he was too worried." Xu Huang thought about it and felt reasonable, so he nodded and simply agreed with Zhang Liao's opinion.

In fact, it can be seen that does not mean that it can be done.

Although Hu Qi could not go to the sea, they had lived here for many years and were more familiar with the terrain of mountains and rivers, and it was not so easy to lure them to annihilate them. It's just that there is no need to dwell on these details, Xu Huang believes in the vision of the lord, since the lord has ordered the general, it will not be a Zhao Kuo who talks on paper, right?

"Then the matter of shipping coordination will be decided first." Wang Yu saw that everyone else had no opinions to mention, so he directly moved on to the next topic: "In addition to wind and waves, there are other risks at sea, and the news of large-scale sea supplies can't be hidden, and if someone starts from this, it will be a big trouble, so Ziyi ......"

"I see." Tai Shici replied listlessly.

In addition to the fishermen, the ships on the Bohai Sea are either from Qingzhou or from Liaodong, and the latter's maritime history is still before Qingzhou, as early as before Wang Yu entered Qingzhou, Gongsun Du began to use sea ships to recruit talents from Qingzhou.

As long as it is related to himself, Tai Shici is very keen, and as soon as he hears Wang Yu's words, he knows what is behind...... Don't you just want to escort yourself?

Although the escort may also encounter battles, and the intensity of naval battles is not much worse than that of land battles, the problem is 'possible', which means that it is also possible that no one will sneak attack from the sea, so this trip will be in vain. Well, it may be worse than tossing in vain, looking at Wen Yuan's meaning, maybe the battle will start on the beach, and he will have to be a spectator......

Wei Yan looked at Tai Shici sympathetically and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. As a result, his comfort had no effect, but he was swept by Wang Yu at a glance and named: "Well, the strength of the Liaodong Navy Division is still good, Ziyi's men and horses are still less after all, Wen Chang, you can be Ziyi's deputy, with the two of you here, even if Gongsun Du comes with all his might, he can only return with all his might." ”

"Huh? Do I want it too? Wei Yan was dumbfounded.

"Why, don't you know water? It shouldn't be. Wang Yu looked at Wei Yan and was quite surprised.

"It's not that, it's just ......" Wei Yan is a native of Nanyang, and he grew up by the river, where would he not know the nature of water, he was just depressed and puzzled, his Hidden Mist Army has always been a sharp knife and scout, why was it suddenly left aside, this is unreasonable.

"Are you worried about the investigation?" Wang Yu expressed Wei Yan's doubts, and then poured a basin of cold water on him: "Don't worry, this time it is a battle in the border fortress, Zilong's cavalry is enough to be competent, well, if there is no interference from the people, the light cavalry may be more suitable than you." ”

Wei Yan didn't have anything to say, he just looked at Zhao Yun with a sad and angry face, and the resentment in his eyes made the latter have goosebumps.

Stealing business or something has always been the most hateful!

Then he talked about the route of the march and the coordination of the three armies, and finally talked about the overall strategy.

"In this battle, the focus is not only to win, but also to achieve an overwhelming victory as soon as possible, which I call crushing...... In the previous war with Xianbei, the deterrent power was insufficient, because the distance was too far, and if the news was allowed to spread naturally, it would take a long time to reach Liaodong. At the same time, there are people who put fake news and interfere with the line of sight. ”

Wang Yu briefly summarized the situation before the war: "As long as our army presents an irresistible situation, these little tricks are mosquitoes and insects, and there is no need to worry. In order to successfully achieve the goal, Wen Yuan and I discussed a tactic, which I call the oppressive tactic! ”
