Chapter 136: The Fen River

Hedong County, north of Jiangyi County, south bank of the Fen River. ●⌒.

Zhonglang's commander Zhang Liao led Gai Shun and Yang Feng, with 20,000 soldiers, and blocked the 100,000 Baibo army on the ice of the Fen River, making it difficult to advance an inch.

Although the White Polish Army was a peasant army, it was far superior to the Yellow Turban Army six years ago in terms of command and combat effectiveness, but they were facing the Hedong Army under Ji Ping.

The Hedong Army is different from other armies, the requirements for enlistment qualifications are very high, the treatment of military dependents is high, and the drills and military discipline are even stricter; although the training is only half a year, this army is far superior to the armies of other princes in terms of combat effectiveness, morale and obedience to command.

On the battlefield, as long as the drums and trumpets come out, the military formation is forbidden, pikemen, shield soldiers, archers, and cavalry cooperate with each other, coordinate and orderly, without a trace of chaos, and even the "kill!" Kill! Kill! The earth-shattering shouts of killing were also waves of Qi brushing, and the powerful momentum formed by the neat and rigorous military formation greatly shocked the Bai Bo army.

Although the Baibo army was five times larger than Zhang Liao, it was completely inferior at this time, and was divided into pieces by Zhang Liao's five neat and rigorous military formations.

Zhang Liao put into a three-way army formation in the front, with a total of 12,000 people, 4,000 on the left and right, plus the fortifications arranged, firmly controlled the battlefield confrontation, and only more than 40,000 soldiers in the front of the Baibo army could fight, and the remaining nearly 60,000 people were pressed on the ice in the rear, making it difficult to attack.

Ji Ping came here with Lu Zhi, Geng Zhong, and Dian Wei, and did not disturb Zhang Liaozhong's army, which was commanding the battle, but watched the battle from the sidelines.

But at this time, the command system of the White Polish Army was already in disarray, and it was only a matter of time before it was defeated.

Lu Zhi looked at the scene in front of him. praised: "Now that my Hedong soldiers have such combat power, the master's practice method has really achieved great results." And General Zhang commanded the battle, and he already had the style of a general. ”

Lu Zhi is the Taishou of Hedong. In the past six months, he has been busy arranging households, relocating people, building schools and other affairs, and he has not been involved in military affairs, but now seeing such strong combat effectiveness of the soldiers, he somewhat understands why Ji Ping is not afraid of Dong Zhuo and Bai Bojun at all.

Ji Ping smiled and didn't speak, in the past six months, he not only paid attention to the drills of the soldiers in various departments, but also strictly required Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang and other soldiers to be familiar with military books. Learn and explore commanding large-scale battles.

The generals under him, whether they are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, or Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others, are all first-class generals, with these people guarding Hedong, plus the advantages of Zhongtiao Mountain and Fenhe River in Hedong, even if a few ferries are lost, he also firmly believes that Hedong County will be fine.

And he believes that as long as he cultivates properly. These generals are sharper than they have ever been.

Chang Lin, who was behind Ji Ping and Lu Zhi, suddenly pointed to the rear of the army and said: "Although General Zhang has good tactics, Lin admires the lord's way of governing Hedong even more, and he is deeply loved by the people. ”

Behind the Great Army. Countless people were helping the army carry their baggage, and many old people and women were carrying hot steamed buns, steamed buns, and baked cakes, and they came all the way to bring food to the soldiers.

Soldiers who were seen seriously wounded or killed were brought back. Many people wept and cursed the thieves. The sound is clearly audible.

At this time, Chang Lin was very shocked in his heart, he didn't know Ji Ping's true identity. After communicating with Ji Ping, he also thought that Ji Ping, the lord, was extraordinary, but it was not until this time that he really admired this lord from the bottom of his heart to the extreme, and also understood why Xun You, who was resourceful, would recognize Ji Ping as the lord.

Chang Lin Suzi thought that he had done a good job and had no offense with Minqiu, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he knew that he was too far behind this young master.

Ji Ping heard Chang Lin praise and sighed: "The people of the Han Dynasty actually have very low requirements, as long as food and clothing are sufficient, just talking about the many civil unrest in Baibo, Montenegro, and Qingzhou, it is not good for those of us who are in power." ”

Lu Zhi thought so, and said solemnly: "I hope that the lord will calm the world and make the four seas live in peace." ”

Ji Ping looked at Lu Zhi's expectant eyes, and nodded silently: "Qingping the world, there is a long way to go, I will encourage you together!" ”

"Zhi dare not be exhausted, loyal and wise." Lu Zhi bowed, and Chang Lin and the others on the side also hurriedly followed.

Ji Ping helped them up, looked at Dian Wei, who had long been unbearable, smiled, and ordered: "Captain Dian Wei, Wu Meng, lead the Tiger Battalion to battle!" ”

"Command!" Dian Wei roared loudly and rushed out with the eight hundred tiger battalions, like a sharp knife into the battlefield.

The sound of killing by the Fen River shook the sky, and the battlefield had formed a stalemate, although Zhang Liao had the advantage, but it would take some effort to defeat the Bai Bo army.

The Tiger Battalion is the most elite unit under Ji Ping, and Dian Wei, who commands the Tiger Battalion, is even more brave and incomparable.

"The White Wave Army is going to be defeated." Ji Ping looked at the battlefield and smiled faintly: "Can Lu Taishou know the commonalities between Bai Bojun and Dong Zhuoqiang Hu Bing?" ”

"Commonalities?" Lu Zhi groaned: "The military discipline of both is extremely sloppy, and they are not long in battle, and their command in battle is unfavorable. ”

Ji Ping nodded and said: "To put it more simply, it is a swarm of bees, needless to say, the Baibo army in front of you is needless to say, and the Qianghu soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers under Dong Zhuo are slightly better than the Baibo army, but they are also brave and fierce, and they are not good at battle." ”

At this time, Jia Ji behind Ji Ping spoke: "Lord, although the Qianghu soldiers are not good at battle, their courage and good fighting should not be underestimated. ”

Ji Ping looked at Jia Ji and nodded with satisfaction, Jia Xu's young son has been with him for half a year, and he has finally been taken care of by himself, and in the process of dealing with Haoqiang, he has also made a lot of plans.

He looked at the battlefield not far away, and said softly: "I will never underestimate the enemy, nor do I want you and the generals to underestimate the enemy, underestimating the enemy is the precursor of defeat, but we must also learn to show and attack the shortcomings of the enemy...... Baoyu, do you know why Dong Zhuo was able to defeat the Qiang people lightly, but was defeated by the Yellow Turban several times? ”

Baoyu is a word taken by Ji Ping for Jia Ji, although it is not without funny meaning, but this word is really good, Jia Ji likes it very much, and Ji Ping also remembers. Later generations of scholars who studied the Dream of Red Mansions estimated that Jia Baoyu's name was Jia Ji. Baoyu is just a nickname.

Jia Ji frowned when he heard Ji Ping's inquiry. This is probably also a problem that Dong Zhuo couldn't figure out, Dong Zhuo won consecutive battles in Liangzhou that year, but in the first year of Zhongping, he went to the Central Plains to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves, but he lost many times.

He thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that there are a large number of Yellow Turban thieves?" ”

Ji Ping shook his head and said: "This is not the fundamental reason, with the combat effectiveness of the Qiang Hu soldiers, it is not difficult to win more with less." ”

Lu Zhi also looked at Ji Ping, this was actually something that many people were puzzled about, the state and county soldiers of the Kwantung princes suffered losses again and again under Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo suffered a loss under the Yellow Turban Thieves, but the Yellow Turban Thieves were still exterminated by the original Northern Fifth Army and the predecessors of the Kwantung Princes.

Ji Ping didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said slowly: "The key is military discipline and military spirit, military discipline and military spirit determine the general's control and command of the army, Dong Zhuo's Qianghu soldiers are strong enough, but the military discipline is sloppy, the military spirit is not condensed, and the battle is a swarm, and it is a wave." ”

"A wave?" Lu Zhi and Jia Ji seemed to understand a little. But I feel that the word Ji Ping is a little difficult to understand.

"A wave of streams." Ji Ping smiled: "A wave rushes over, rushes over, and wins; If you can't rush over, you will be defeated. Whether it is the Qiang or the Qiang Hu soldiers, the Baibo army. It's all with a lot of blood, lack of resilience, and once it fails. It was light and scattered, and retreated for thousands of miles. Back then, Dong Zhuo fought against the Yellow Turban Army, and behind the Yellow Turban Army was his family. Naturally, if the battle to the death does not retreat, Dong Zhuoqiang and Hu's morale will be exhausted, so he can only retreat. ”

Jia Ji suddenly realized, including Lu Zhi, although he participated in the crusade against the Yellow Turban, he didn't know much about Dong Zhuojun, and there was no comparison.

Ji Ping continued: "This is also a reason why I ordered the soldiers to strictly abide by military discipline and strictly practice the battle. ”

"Therefore, if we fight against Dong Zhuo's Qianghu soldiers or Baibo army, even if we are at a disadvantage, as long as our soldiers can persist in the battle in formation, and the enemy will not be able to fight for a long time, that wave of morale will naturally disappear, and it will be our opportunity to win, defeat first and then win, and it will not be difficult to turn defeat into victory."

Ji Ping looked farther to the north and muttered, "As long as we refine the battle and train an elite cavalry, we can quickly retreat from the alien race and restore peace to the people." ”

Lu Zhi and the others nodded one after another, at this time, Lu Zhi looked at the shape of the battlefield, and couldn't help but say: "Lord, General Zhang will win this battle, but I am afraid that the Baibo soldiers will retreat across the Fen River and enter Linfen, Xiangling, Pingyang, and Yang County, relying on the terrain, it will not be easy to attack." ”

Ji Ping looked at Chang Lin on the side and said with a smile: "Lu Taishou doesn't need to worry, today's Yang County and Pingyang should have fallen into the hands of Shangdang Xun Gongda." ”

Lu Zhi's face was overjoyed: "Xun Taishou sent troops? ”

Ji Ping nodded: "Gongda has decided to join the party, and ordered Zhang Yang to lead his troops through the mountains, send troops to Pingyang, and attack the Baibo Army with us, and now the eight counties of Linfen, Pishi, Xiangling, Yangxian, Pingyang, Yong'an, Beiqu, and Puzi north of the Fen River in Hedong County should be recovered, and Lu Taishou should think about governing these eight counties." ”

Half a year ago, Ji Ping had just settled in Anyi, Zhang Ji fled north, and the Baibo army in Pingyang was strong, and there were also local Haoqiang, Yanchi, and Dong Zhuo's attack south of the Fen River.

But in essence, for the eight counties in the north of Hedong County and hundreds of thousands of Baibo troops, Ji Ping began to plan from that time.

Staying still is his first strategy, just like Guo Jia's legacy in history to determine Liaodong.

Zhang Ji and the Bai Bo army were mortal enemies before, the two armies have always had a grudge, after Zhang Ji escaped the Fen River, if Ji Ping attacked fiercely, the Bai Bo army was afraid of Ji Ping's momentum, and most of them would join forces with Zhang Ji to counterattack, but Ji Ping did not move, sure enough, only two months, Zhang Ji and Bai Bo were born friction, and started a big battle north of the Fen River, and then Zhang Ji fled north and lost the news, Ji Ping did not spend a soldier to get rid of an enemy.

On the other hand, Ji Ping was waiting for Xun You to settle down in the party and fight the Bai Bo army with him, because the Bai Bo army did not know that Xun You was Ji Ping's subordinate, so he would not guard against this.

At the same time, Ji Ping also ordered Shi A's Shadow Division to take advantage of this half year to infiltrate the north of the Fen River to learn about the intelligence of various places, and even infiltrate the interior of the Baibo Army with the assistance of Yang Feng and Xu Huang.

Finally, the Bai Bo army had been in turmoil north of the Fen River for several years, causing damage to the agriculture there, and Ji Ping concluded that in winter, the Bai Bo army and hundreds of thousands of family members would inevitably have a food crisis, and the army was panicked, which was also a good opportunity for him to attack and surrender.

Now, that opportunity has arrived.

It's all in place, just waiting for a blow. (To be continued!)
