Wei Yan's keen judgment made Wang Xu deeply happy, but he did not affirm or deny what he said, but only praised him.

"Wen Chang, listening to your analysis of the war in Liangzhou, you are very disciplined and have a profound understanding, and you really have the style of a general, and you did not disappoint me!"

"The lord has won the prize! Wei Yan can have today, it all depends on the cultivation of the lord! Wei Yan thanked him.

"Huh! People's success or failure, in their own body, if people do not forge ahead, nothing will be achieved, you today, is also the result of your own efforts, I just gave you a chance! Wang Xu waved his hand and looked at Wei Yan with satisfaction, but after a little compliment, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and then asked, "Then what do you think should be done now?" ”

Wei Yan then raised his head, his eyes flashing, and his face was full of confidence and firmness.

"Returning to the lord, according to the minister's humble opinion, when the elite cavalry strong generals, slowly attack, not to break the enemy, just to induce Xiliang to expose his own deployment, and test the opponent's reality and compare the situation of the two sides. As for the main army, it will press back and advance, strictly guard against various strategic points, and guard against a sneak attack by Xiliang, in order to slow down! ”

"Okay, let's do it according to this plan!" Wang Xu waved his hand lightly: "Disperse!" Tomorrow will be in the army! ”

The brief meeting ended inexplicably, and most of them didn't even have a word to mention a little bit of their own advice, which seemed a little hasty. When everyone left the big tent of the Chinese army, the faces of the generals were a little heavy, as if they were holding their breath.

Of course, Wang Xu also saw this, but he didn't care, and walked back to his main tent.

Shortly after I sat down. Guo Jia quietly asked to see him. It's just that this seems to be expected by Wang Xu. When he stepped into the account, he already smiled and said: "Fengxiao, put it aside in advance of tomorrow's expedition, and tell me about the Xiliang Iron Horse you know!" ”

"Huh?" Guo Jia was slightly stunned, but he still reacted quickly, did not rush to talk about tomorrow, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and turned to talk about Xiliang first.

"Back to my lord. If you talk about the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, then among the 380,000 people in Ma Teng, almost nearly 280,000 are cavalry, excluding those foreign coalition troops, the rest can be called the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it can be seen that the total number of cavalry that really has far more than conventional combat power is only six, about 120,000 people! ”

"Which six? What are the features? What is the combat power? By whom? Wang Xu asked intently.

"One is the cavalry carefully trained by Ma Chao to gather warriors of all ethnic groups with his personal reputation, all of them carefully selected, and their combat power is surprisingly high. Ma Yi personally improved his equipment and armor, and the Xiliang people called it the lancer. In the hearts of his subordinates, the comprehensive combat power of this cavalry is enough to be included in the second place in Xiliang's combat power, with 20,000 people. ”

"The second is a heavy cavalry, this cavalry lord should be very familiar, the minister heard many years ago, when the lord crusaded against the yellow turban, he had broken through this kind of troops, its whole body heavy armor, with an extra-long cavalry spear clamped under the armpit, the power of the charge is incomparable, the defense is also amazing, but it is too bulky, not flexible enough, belonging to the commander of Ma Tie, the number is about 10,000, the Xiliang people call the heavy cavalry, in the heart of the minister ranks third in the comprehensive combat power of the Xiliang departments."

"The third department is an ordinary cavalry, holding a long chopping sword, longer than the kind of chopping knife promoted by the lord Tiyì, the power is greater, the number of 20,000, led by Ma Xiu, the Xiliang people call the sword cavalry, in the hearts of the ministers ranked fourth in the comprehensive combat power of the Xiliang departments."

"The four divisions are a crossbow cavalry, and its crossbow is more superior than the crossbow of our Chu country, with a long range, great power, and a war knife, but this crossbow is heavier and the loading speed is slower, so it is inferior to a lot, about 10,000 people, ranking fifth in the comprehensive combat power of all departments in Xiliang in the hearts of the ministers."

"The five divisions are ordinary elite cavalry, with riding bows, with standard blades, skilled bows and horses, no obvious shortcomings, ranking sixth in the comprehensive combat power of each department in Xiliang in the hearts of the ministers, about 40,000 people, commanded by Ma Teng himself, these five are the real iron cavalry powerhouses in Xiliang, although the other cavalry is numerous, but whether it is well-equipped, or the soldiers are suzhì, or the training process is far from such a few troops!"

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded secretly when he heard this, he had already learned about this from the intelligence, and now he just wanted to know his perception from Guo Jia's mouth, after all, Guo Jia had been confronting Xiliang here for many years, and his understanding would definitely be more thorough.

"What about what do you think is the number one combat power in your heart? But Ma Yi's army that was rarely used? ”

"Exactly!" Guo Jia nodded. "That army is now named after the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, equipped with sharp scimitars and short bows, wearing leather armor, extremely fast and lethal, and the soldiers are all carefully selected, all of them are skilled in bows and horses, even if they dismount, they are also amazing in combat. Although he had never fought against this army, he had the privilege of witnessing it crusade against a small tribe of the Huns, which numbered about 20,000 men. ”

"How powerful is it, how is it compared to the special troops of my Chu General?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

"If it is two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry against two thousand trapped camps, then of course it is far inferior, but if it is a large-scale confrontation, it has the advantage because of uniformity, even if it is Gao Shun's trapped camp, Zhao Yun's Yanyun iron cavalry and other departments gathered 20,000 people, then only in terms of combat strength, it is still not an opponent, after all, the characteristics of the special guards of the generals of our Chu State are not the same, and if they are really gathered, they cannot be unified at all, and they can only fight separately."

"So strong?" Wang Xu was shocked for the first time.

"Very strong!" Guo Jia is very sure.

"What about the other soldiers? How is the combat power of the main army of our Chu State compared to it? Wang Xu asked again.

This time, Guo Jia was a little silent, and only after a pause did he speak leisurely: "If you talk about combat power alone, these Xiliang tribes are stronger than any of the main forces of my Chu State, and they are much stronger!" ”

Wang Xu still agrees with Guo Jia's cognition, although he has long known that Xiliang is strong, he has never had a clear concept, and now he vaguely understands.

"Do you know why?"

"The congenital physique of the Xiliang soldiers is generally stronger than that of the soldiers of my Chu State, this is one of them. Second, Xiliang is aggressive, the folk style is fierce, and he fights with foreign people all the year round, and this is the case from generation to generation, so after strict training. It's even more powerful. Third. Na Ma Yi's early years were wasted. It is really not useless to devote himself to strange and obscene skills, although he has turned to the management of the army for more than ten years, and no longer does some foolish crazy things, but his skills have never been lost, and his talent in this area is extremely high, and his equipment for conception and creation is slightly more sophisticated than that of our Chu State. Fourth, the environment of Xiliang is worse than that of Chu. Life here is more difficult, and the spirit of struggle is hidden in their bones, and after rigorous training, their will is generally stronger. ”

As Guo Jia finished speaking, Wang Xu finally had nothing to say, because he could understand and understand that these were all facts.

Seeing that his expression was not very good-looking, Guo Jia thought about it, but still couldn't help but remind: "Lord, in fact, the reason why Xiliang has been able to compete with us here for many years. Not only because of its good rule, but also because of the outstanding combat power of its soldiers. Otherwise, why should the lord lead most of the army of Chu to conquer in person, and his subordinates and others are enough to destroy it between applause! The specific situation can only be described in this way, as for the truth, after the trial confrontation, the lord will know at a glance. ”

Wang Xu felt some pressure in his heart at this time, but this alone was far from making him feel worried, after all, after so many years, after going through strong winds and waves, what kind of situation had he not encountered? Although I feel that it is not so easy to conquer the Xiliang generals, there are many ways to deal with it, and the war is not compared to the combat power, not to mention that the comprehensive strength of the Chu State is far beyond the other party.

"That's it, then tomorrow when I march, I will personally go to the front line with the army, and I will talk about it after the battle, you go to rest first!"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, hesitated, but did not leave, but said with a slightly wry smile: "Lord, the minister still has something to ask the lord for advice!" ”

"Huh? Oh! Look at my memory, I almost forgot the purpose of your visit, hahaha......" Wang Xule laughed and said: "You came here to ask why you hurriedly obeyed Wei Yanjian today, but didn't give the generals any chance to speak!" ”

Guo Jia was surprised, and secretly found that after not seeing each other for several years, Wang Xu seemed to have become more and more unfathomable.

"Forgive the ministers for their foolishness, and please make it clear to the lord!"

Wang Xu smiled and looked at Guo Jia casually.

"Fengxiao, this expedition to Xiliang, I am also mentally prepared for possible difficulties, this time I only let Wei Yan be the master, one is to let him, a general who has been fighting with Xiliang all the year round, try, in the past, he only led a legion after all, and now he is in a full-scale decisive battle, I also want to see what his experience can bring to such a heavy battle."

"Second, this is to suppress the other generals in the army, so that they will hold the breath in their chests, Xiliang is not as good as Wei and Wu, this expedition, there will be more tough battles, in my opinion, success or failure will be in the fighting spirit of the generals in the army! Now let them hold their breath and release them on the battlefield when the time comes! ”

"But Wei Yan's strategy is quite limited, if it is a battle of one or two legions, then it is understandable, but now that the three armies are coming out together, it seems a little inappropriate to act according to their strategy." Guo Jia asked suspiciously.

"What's the matter, I don't plan to start a full-scale war with Xiliang right now! Just play with Xiliang in the past few months! Wang Xu smiled casually.

"No fighting?" Guo Jia was slightly stunned, and then seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly realized, looking at Wang Xu in horror and inexplicably. "The lord wants to subdue the Ma family?"

"Not bad! This expedition to Xiliang is to play, play until Xiliang is exhausted, and play until he is helpless. Saying that, Wang Xu shook his head with a smile, and continued: "I know Ma Yi better than any of you, and I know his temperament and way of thinking better, if you fight now, even if there are you, me, and countless capable ministers, even if you win, even if he loses helplessly, but in the end, we will definitely lose a lot, so don't need to work so hard, play slowly, play until he collapses!" ”

Guo Jianai is a very smart person, but his way of thinking is different, so he didn't understand Wang Xu's intention at the first time.

"The subordinates understand, the lord's expedition to the west this time is to punish his heart!"

"Heartbreaking?" Wang Xu carefully recalled the word.

After a long time, he said earnestly: "The description of Zhuxin is really appropriate, yes, it is to punish the heart, but how to follow the heart depends on you to give me more advice!" There are some things you may not understand, but in my heart, this battle is the battle between me and Ma Yi, he and I have their own strengths, but the direction of emphasis is different, I am good at military regime planning, he is good at skill development, I am lucky to occupy the time, place, people, because of different circumstances and walked in front of him, understand in front of him, but now the competition, the victory or loss between him and me, more depends on you, I have a good minister like you, and he does not, this is my biggest reliance. ”

Guo Jia didn't seem to understand these words, but he didn't ask much, but replied solemnly: "Don't worry, the lord will do his best!" ”

ps: It's a war, it's slow to write, and there are only two more today, and there are no supplements. The main reason is that the war plot will be written quickly and will affect the quality, after all, sorting out the data and analyzing the form, thinking about the strategy is a very heavy task, and today it took an extremely long time to sort out the detailed information of the civil ministers and military generals in the Xiliang region, which is very nerve-wracking.

Therefore, during the war plot, if you can make up for it, you can make it up, you can't make up for it or only one change, please forgive me! Every time there is a war plot, it is really sad! (To be continued......)
