Chapter 674 I want to do my best
"It is worthy of Zhang Wenyuan, which is very useful."
After the 40,000 miscellaneous Hu were crushed by Zhang Liao with a trick of bead curtain reversal, this battle lost the last trace of suspense. Wang Yu's attention also diverted from the battlefield, and let out an exclamation similar to that of Gongsun Zhan.
It's just that Gongsun Zhan's exclamation is purely an expression of emotion, while Wang Yu's exclamation is for a more practical purpose - he wants to evaluate the performance of the generals in this war, and then make a post-war strategic deployment.
Although this battle was a complete victory, it was still a lot away from Wang Yu's goal, and Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou army was almost crippled, although it was convenient to completely bring Youzhou under his rule, but the price was too heavy.
Restored, this remnant army should still be able to be used as a border guard and continue to defend the frontier. But according to the current situation, no matter how fast the recovery is, in the next few years, the Youzhou army can only hold half of Youzhou or even a smaller area at most.
That is to say, if Wang Yu wants to play a triumphant song on this, return to Gaotang, and prepare for the next Central Plains War, he must leave a team of soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and leave a general to garrison.
Wang Yu originally belonged to Xu Huang.
In fact, all the generals who went north with the army were the choice of the moment, Taishi Ci bravely crowned the three armies, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, and was invincible; Although Wei Yan is young and has not read many books, he has a natural intuition in the art of war, and he can quickly grasp the key points in a complex situation; The forbidden army is rigorous, and the defense line laid out is not leaky; Zhao Yun's ability to command light cavalry is beyond even Wang Yu himself.
However, if you only talk about the overall situation and the ability to command a large corps, Xu Huang is the best, and his decisiveness is also strong, and he is most suitable for garrisoning the border fortress as a general of the front army.
However, there are several problems with this.
The Taishan army is mainly infantry, although Xu Huang is very good at running operations, but this method of warfare is too dangerous, once or twice you can take a little risk, rush to fight, if you do this every time, it is easy to be the enemy to find out the routine, to target. In addition, infantry is infantry, and no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to race against cavalry.
As long as the IQ of the Hu people is stronger than that of the dog who remembers to eat and not to fight, and remembers the principle that it cannot fight head-on with the Taishan army, the Taishan army left behind in the border will repeat the mistakes of the predecessors, be led by the nose by the opponent, and be completely contained.
When the pattern of the Central Plains is gradually becoming clear and the Central Plains War may break out at any time, it is undoubtedly a great waste of combat power to put such a main force as the Taishan Army on the thankless side.
In addition, among the several units of the hussar army, the Taishan army has the best adaptation to the terrain. The Yulin Army's dependence on the military formation is very high, and it is certainly very powerful to spread out on the plains, but once it reaches a place like Jingzhou and Huainan, where there are many mountains and rivers, it is really difficult to say how much combat power it can exert.
In the future war, Wang Yu plans to use the Taishan Army as the main army, and is likely to be responsible for the strategy in a certain direction, how can he be willing to leave it in Youzhou?
What's more, Wang Yu has always disliked passive defense.
The Xianbei people lost this battle badly enough, even if they ignore it, there should be no trouble in a short time, but Karasuma and Zahu still have strength. Badun and Yan Rou are not stupid, after getting the news of the big war, they should withdraw from Youzhou as soon as possible, recover for a while, and then join forces with Xianbei, and they can pull out an army of 100,000 to make trouble at any time.
This time, the Hu people were somewhat arrogant after defeating Gongsun Zhan, and they had no experience in fighting the Qingzhou army, so they were killed in a river of blood. Next time, they will definitely learn to be obedient and start the guerrilla warfare of their old profession again, and when the time comes, the northern Xinjiang will be full of smoke and smoke, and it is not known whether they will retreat at the critical moment of the Central Plains War.
Wang Yu hasn't forgotten that Xu Yu's scourge is not dead.
This person does not have much attainment in military strategy, but he has a wide range of interpersonal relationships in the Central Plains, many sources of intelligence, and a thorough understanding of the situation in the Central Plains. Under his guidance, if Hu Renruo was determined to carry out the sāo disturbance war to the end, it could not but be said to be a big trouble.
Therefore, Wang Yu felt that after going on this trip anyway, he would simply come to a big relief once and for all.
Offense is the best defense.
Before the war, he had considered this aspect of the problem, although it didn't cost too much jīng effort, after all, the main problem at that time was to repel the Xianbei army first, but he already had a basic outline. Seeing Zhang Liao's play today, Wang Yu suddenly remembered that there is really no more suitable general than Zhang Liao to fight Liaodong.
I didn't expect it before, because Zhang Liao has always regarded himself as a guest general and has never exceeded the duty of the deputy general of the personal guard iron cavalry, Wang Yu is not sure whether the other party has reached the height in history.
Moreover, Zhang Liao joined for too short a time, and he was not very familiar with the people and things within the hussars, which obviously affected his performance.
The decisive victory in this battle was the Yellow Turban Force, Wang Yu did not say it to the generals, but except for Zhang Liao and Lu Qiling, all the generals faintly guessed the truth. Especially the generals of Mount Tai, Li Le, who has always been impulsive and belligerent, has been honestly staying by Wang Yu's side since the start of the war, and he is not in a hurry at all, because he knows very well that when he appears on the stage, it will be the most gorgeous moment of this battle.
But Zhang Liao didn't know anything about it, and Wang Yu couldn't explain it.
He is a prince, and he can't tell Zhang Liao like a god stick that his brother actually knows the immortal law, can scatter beans into soldiers, and summon heavenly soldiers and generals. He usually behaves very easy-going, but there are some things that he can't do after all, otherwise it won't be as simple as the human master.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Liao later took the initiative to issue an order, asking his colleagues to cooperate, and launched and led the pursuit in an orderly manner.
Especially when Wang Yu saw that without receiving instructions from the Chinese army, Zhang Liao deliberately let go of the Chinese army at the head of the leader, and only pursued and killed other tribes with all his might, he almost applauded the other party's attack.
Capture the flag and be invincible; The generals who have attainments in these aspects can be commensurate with brave generals and wise generals. If a military commander can take into account various factors outside the battlefield on this basis, and use them as a basis to give the most appropriate instructions, he can be called a famous general.
This is the case with Zhang Liao now.
Murong Feng ran, and he ran very decisively, with the battlefield situation at that time, the hussars could neither catch up, nor have the conditions to draw troops to pursue him.
If you ignore it and go all out to attack and kill the leader, it is very likely that there will be a thief and the king, but in that case, in the case of Qianman, Kuitou, and the Xianbei tribes in the central and eastern parts of the country all suffering heavy casualties, the situation in the grassland will evolve into a dominance of the Murong tribe.
For the entire Xianbei clan, this defeat was certainly nerve-wracking, but for Murong Feng, it was an excellent opportunity to integrate the clan. If he takes this opportunity to ascend to the position of Da Dan Yu, maybe it will be more difficult to deal with than the previous leader, this kind of thing is not useful if there are many soldiers, and the upper and lower orders are passed, and everyone is the king to work together.
You know, this tribe is surnamed Murong!
In the Five Chaos of later generations, the Xianbei people were not the first to go south, but they were the absolute main force. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty alone, Xianbei successively established seven states including Yan, Qin, Liang, and Northern Wei, and the most famous of them was the Murong Department that established the former and Later Yan, and the Tuoba Department that established the Northern Wei Dynasty and ruled most of the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River.
Wang Yu was not very interested in the history of the battles between the Qunhu in that chaotic and dark era, but he did not despise the enemy. Being able to stand out among the crowd of Hu, and after the fall of the first established country, can make a comeback, the cohesion of the Murong Department can be seen.
Of course, after more than a hundred years, the current Murong Department has little to do with the Murong Department of the Two Jin Dynasty, and it cannot be discussed as one thing. However, in line with the principle of leniency for the enemy, Wang Yu still didn't want to see the Xianbei integrated by the Murong Ministry, echoing with the Karasuma people and attacking Youzhou.
Zhang Liao's countermeasures hit Wang Yu's heart.
Let go of the leader, Murong Feng will not be so easy to ascend to the position, especially when he goes south to no avail and cannot talk about external demands, Xianbei, who has just joined forces, will inevitably fall into a situation of killing each other again. On the one hand, they have to compete for strength, and more importantly, they have to compete for limited survival resources.
In this battle, Wang Yu did not take the lead as before. After all, the scale of the war is too large, and the personal bravery is completely negligible, but the risk is much greater, although he likes to take risks, but he will not take unnecessary risks because of small losses.
Therefore, he felt that he had the advantage of being a bystander, and when he saw Murong Feng's actions of raising first and then suppressing, he quickly realized what the other party had in mind.
And Zhang Liao has always been in a chaotic war.
Ordinary people are in his position, and they can't even struggle to save their lives, where do they still have the mood and ability to observe the entire battle situation, even if they do, how can they think about the causes and consequences so clearly in such a short period of time?
It's Zhang Liao!
Thinking about it, Wang Yu could only use the same words to sigh.
If it were not for the advantage of the prophet, and to take advantage of this advantage, to lay down the territory of Qingzhou, to integrate the resources of all parties, and to establish a strong hussar army, Wang Yu believed that in a fair showdown, he was not Zhang Liao's opponent.
Fortunately, that's just a hypothesis.
Now the fact is that the strong army built by himself once again defeated hundreds of thousands of Hulu and won another brilliant victory.
The balance of the general trend of the world is tilted to its side again!
As night fell, a massive pursuit of 100,000 men continued. Visibility can no longer meet the needs of the battle, but the soldiers are still fighting high, and the night sè can not stop their rainbow momentum at all.
The wind sent the earth-shattering shouts into Wang Yu's ears, making him slightly drunk, and his pride rose sharply.
With a star-studded command and countless strong soldiers, what reason do you have not to carry out this war in the northern frontier more thoroughly and completely eliminate the bloody atmosphere of the nomadic barbarians?
That's right, I won't let this big win be the end, this is just the beginning! (To be continued.) )
