At the end of April, 50,000 new wheat from Donglai arrived at the Mengjin ferry on time, and countless Henan refugees who were recruited as temporary servants happily pushed the pallet cart and pulled the trailer, and even carried nothing, only with a pair of shoulders, and carried the heavy wheat millet for a full 50 miles...... For them, this heavy weight is not a burden, but hope, even if it is far away.

At the same time as Mai Su, there were two battalions of the Liaodong White Wolf Army, 500 infantry (including auxiliaries), and 500 cavalry (including slave cavalry).

The first batch of reinforcements from Liaodong has arrived.

In mid-May, in the main hall of the Provisional Wei General's Mansion, a group of generals and ministers who were enough to turn the clouds and rain in Luoyang gathered in the main hall of the Provisional Wei General's Mansion: Wei General Ma Han, Military General Jia Xu, General Shi Guojia, General Xu Huang, Wumeng Duwei Guan Hai (Reinforcement Commander), Cavalry General Wu Chai, Chelang General Zhou Cang, Hu Lang General Han Xi and so on.

This is the first military meeting of the White Wolf Army in the first year of Jian'an, and Ma Han's first topic is to ask the four generals Xu Huang, Wu Chai, Zhou Cang, and Han Xi, after nearly four months of rest, the training, morale and military morale of the recruits.

Xu Huang, who had the highest official rank, stood up first and replied: "General, the last general will have 1,500 soldiers, 1,000 regular soldiers, and 500 auxiliary soldiers; One training in three days, one training in five days, the morale of the army has been stabilized, morale has been restored, and it can be fought! ”

Zhou Cang was the second to get up and report: "At the end, there will be 1,000 guards and soldiers, 700 main soldiers and 300 auxiliary soldiers." We don't need to say much about the White Wolf Army, all of them are good boys, and those white waves are descending...... Hehe, I am also from the same background as Lao Zhou, and I have already returned to my heart. Don't dare to say anything else. When I went to the battlefield, I didn't speak, and no one dared to turn around and run. ”

The White Turban Army is a branch of the Yellow Turban Army, and Zhou Cang was born in the Yellow Turban, so it is only fitting for him to command the White Turban Army. "If you don't speak, don't dare to run" sounds like nothing, but if you think about it carefully, you can find out the true meaning - victory without chaos, defeat without collapse. If you can do this, you can already call it an elite soldier.

Wu Chai and Han Xi's answers were decent, but they were also the most revealing: "Forgive the previous sins, and be able to eat and clothe the general, all the soldiers are grateful for the general's kindness and are willing to die." ”

Well, these years of immortality, as a thief who has been labeled as a rebel, can be forgiven. and provide food and clothing, and will definitely die with you. In this era, the hearts of the lower classes of people are so simple.

"If there is enough food, the heart of the army will be determined; The soldiers feasted. Morale is restored. With these 6,000 elite soldiers in hand, the general has a lot to do. Guo Jia seemed to guess the meaning of Ma Han's gathering and made a summary.

Including the new reinforcements from Liaodong, Ma Han already had more than 6,000 troops in his hands at this time. Among them, there are more than 2,300 White Wolf Army, and 4,000 Luoyang New Army (including Bai Bo, Xiliang and some newly recruited soldiers). After cutting out the 300 shipwrecks and pawns, the available military strength in the hands of Ma Han is no less than 6,000. And among these six thousand soldiers. One-third of them are white wolf infantry cavalry that have undergone strict training and brainwashing, and are remarkable in terms of loyalty and combat quality. Another third are veterans and strong pawns of the Baibo and Xiliang armies. These arrogant soldiers are like a double-edged sword, if used well, they can kill the enemy, and if they are not used well, they can hurt themselves. Ma Han is also adjusting food and troops, using food security, using soldiers to suppress it, carrots and sticks, and then there are famous generals and fierce generals to train, which basically smooths out the hair of these guys.

The remaining third are auxiliaries, craftsmen, medical workers, miscellaneous servants, and the like. This kind of auxiliary troops, although they cannot be put into the battlefield with real swords and guns, are an indispensable component of any army.

At this time, Ma Han had 4,000 soldiers on hand, but after being allocated to the six levels of Luoyang, those who could be assembled and put on the battlefield at one time did not exceed 2,000, plus auxiliaries, and 3,000 was the upper limit. And the Xiliang army of Li, Guo, and Zhang in Kansai does not total more than 10,000.

"Three thousand to ten thousand, do you have any objections?" Ma Han's first military meeting pointed at Xiliang.

It's not that Ma Han is too anxious to start without waiting for the second and third batch of reinforcements to reach a low level, it is really the Xiliang Army, to be precise, the Xiliang rebel army of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji, which will not be destroyed for a day, and it will always be a problem for Luoyang's henchmen. In Ma Han's mind, his real opponent is in the north and in the east, and if the clowns in the west are not solved, he will not be able to concentrate on dealing with the future strong enemies in the east and north.

From a military point of view, the sooner the Xiliang Army is annihilated, the sooner it will be able to turn its energy to the real enemy. From the political level, as much as possible to clean up the Xiliang army, it will bring Ma Han huge political interests and prestige. Li, Guo, Zhang and other generations who were used by Ma Han to jump off the beam clown, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven and the princes of the court, were almost invincible heroic warlords, pressing a heavy mountain on their heads. If Ma Han overturned it with his own hands, he would erect an unrivaled and powerful image in the court. This will be another powerful means for him to control the court with food and a large army.

The first to express support was the old subordinates of the White Wolf Army: Zhou Cang, Wu Chai, and Han Xi.

"Two thousand white wolf ruishi, can sweep away the Xiliang rebels." For the lord and the White Wolf Army, Han Xi has always been full of confidence.

"The soldiers I trained, the heads-up may be a draw, but the group fight will definitely win." Zhou Cang's self-confidence comes from the White Wolf Army's battle formation training and powerful equipment.

Wu Chase is the most realistic: "The last general once organized the Xiliang soldiers of the department to do a confrontation drill with the White Wolf Army, as Zhou Lang said, one-on-one, Xiliang Fist is worthy of its reputation, and it is difficult for my White Wolf soldiers to gain the upper hand; But the Xiliang people who assembled into a formation, a hundred people duel, more than enough martial arts, scattered formations, and uneven equipment were not the opponents of our army. ”

Xu Huang, who has also trained the three armies of Baibo, Xiliang, and White Wolf, also said a few words briefly, but it was the finishing touch: "The last general also followed the example of General Wulang and held a three-army confrontation exercise, one hundred in Xiliang, three hundred can break Baibo; One hundred white wolves, two hundred can break Xiliang. Therefore, the end will think that it can be warn. ”

As for Guan Hai, he doesn't care what the situation of the Xiliang Army is, since the lord says that he wants to fight, then fight, whether you are one or three, or a thousand or thousand.

After the military commander has finished speaking, the following is the time for the strategist to speak.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia are both the top strategists of the Three Kingdoms, but the focus of their strategies is different.

Guo Jia is good at macro planning, strategic deployment, the general trend of the world, the response to enemy forces, as well as development and planning, and has the best experience in the combination of politics and military. For example, whether it is feasible to start a war with the Xiliang Army this time, you need to consult his opinion.

Jia Xu in addition to strategy. Better at specific tactical implementation. For example, figuring out the mentality of the enemy generals, speculating on the movements of the enemy's troops, and then arranging troops and setting up ambushes to annihilate the enemy. He can develop a very specific and operational battle plan. In later generations, that is the talent of a chief of general staff - don't think that Jia Xu is just a strategist who shakes a goose feather fan, in fact, he has served the most and longest in the Xiliang Army, which is the military position of captain and cavalry captain.

The reason why Ma Han appointed Jia Xu as the general of the military division had such an intention - at a critical time, Jia Junshi could be a general. He commanded the army in battle.

Guo Jia paid more attention to the influence of politics, and for this battle, he believed that the political nature was far greater than the military nature, so he only said one sentence: "The western thief will not be destroyed, and Luoyang will not be safe." ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "It's not three thousand to ten thousand, but three thousand to six thousand-Xu invited himself to Hongnong and persuaded Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew to watch on the wall; In addition, his subordinates have already planned, if Guo Duo (汜) dares to act rashly. There will be unforeseen disasters. ”

Ma Han glanced deeply at the most powerful poison man of the Three Kingdoms, nodded and said: "In this way, this battle has a three-point chance of winning......

At this time, there was a report from the guards, and Feiyan Ling sent Ma Yunluo a secret letter.

Ma Ha dismantled. Just glanced at it, raised his eyebrows and laughed, Huo Di got up: "With this letter, it will add five points to the chance." This battle. Li and Guo will be defeated, and Xiliang will die! ”

……

The next day, Ma Han went to court. The battle plan was reported to the imperial court, which immediately caused an uproar.

The arrogant Li Dao and Guo Yan have always been a terrible shadow that cannot be erased from the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Luoyang; And the lawless Xiliang arrogant generals are the sharp blades hanging above the heads of the monarchs and ministers of Luoyang. Liu Xie and the ministers had already been tossed and scared by those Xiliang monsters, so they burned incense and worshiped God, just begging people not to enter the customs...... As a result, what they heard now was their general Wei, who wanted to wave his army out of the pass. For a while, it was difficult for the monarch of Luoyang to accept this role change from "receiving" to "attacking".

"How many soldiers and horses can Ma Jun use at his disposal?" Yang Biao, the commander-in-chief of the national army (Tai Lieutenant), is also pitiful, and the only people he can really command are less than 300 people in the two guards of Huben and Yulin, who have finished their father and son. He didn't even know how many soldiers and horses Ma Han could use to meet the enemy.

Ma Han raised three fingers.

"Three thousand?" It was Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, who spoke, and at this time, the young man who looked like the little brother next door more than the Son of Heaven frowned slightly. Although he had seen the detailed battle plan submitted by Ma Han before, he was still a little unsure in his heart when he determined this number again, and hesitated, "The Xiliang army of Li, Guo, and Zhang Sanyi has tens of thousands of troops. ”

Ma Han looked at the Son of Heaven and said with a smile: "Didn't Wei Chen submit the detailed battle plan to His Majesty yesterday for a look? In this battle, the minister has an eight-point chance of winning. ”

The prince was dissatisfied: "What are the plans?" Why don't you put it out in the open? ”

Ma Han glanced at the prince indifferently: "Military secrets, how can everyone know about them?" If the news leaks, can Wang Shizhong be responsible? ”

The prince was furious, and was about to sneer at him, but his sleeve was pulled by Liu Ai on the side, and he looked sideways and saw the other party shaking his hand. As soon as the prince was angry, he was speechless for a while.

Ma Han arched his hand at Yang Biao and said: "The battle plan should have been submitted to the Taiwei for inspection, and a copy should be kept in the Taiwei official office, but the current court situation has not been decided, and the official office has not been completed, I am afraid that there will be omissions, and the less people know about the foolishness, the better." ”

Now that the Son of Heaven has a plan in his heart, what else can he say? Yang Biao waved his hand: "When it is extraordinary, it can only be done extraordinarily, Ma Jun can handle it with full authority, act cheaply, and do not need to report to the Taiwei Bureau." ”

Ma Han raised his sleeves and waved to Liu Xiechang, who was heading up, and said: "The minister asks His Majesty to pass on the decree to cut off the officials of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and to tell the world about their crimes." And spread the Kansai states, stating that only these two rebels were arrested, and the rest were not asked. In this way, the minister dared to guarantee that within a few months, Li and Guo would be conferred the head, and Kansai would be pacified. ”

Liu Xie was still a little worried, and asked again: "Is this battle really winnable?" ”

How can there be a war in the world that can be won without a fight? But in order to reassure this group of monarchs and ministers who were abused and frightened by the Xiliang people, Ma Han only patted his chest: "We will win!" ”

In late May of the first year of Jian'an, the court of Luoyang issued an edict to the world that it would do its best to fight against the rebellious Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the princes of the world should discuss it together.

The sharp sword of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order not to obey" first took two Xiliang rebels who were out of gas to test the blade, and it was really easy to use. (To be continued......)
