Chapter 328: The Battle of Mobei (2)
All the way with Li Guang?
In history, Li Guang got lost in the Battle of Mobei, missed the decisive battle between Wei Qing and Yi Zhi Xiandanyu, and finally committed suicide.
Chu Tian, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao were assigned to act together with Li Guang, and their mood was as complicated as they were.
The reason why Li Guang turned black was probably because Wei Qing was dissatisfied with Wei Qing ordering him to send troops from the East Road, so he had a dispute with Wei Qing.
Wei Qing obeyed the orders of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which allowed Li Guang to divide his troops.
According to Sima Qian's records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that Li Guang was old and had a bad fate, so he did not let him face Yi Zhi Xian Dan Yu head-on.
Because Sima Qian was prejudiced against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his account was not necessarily correct. Wei Qing arranged for the former general Li Guang and the right general Zhao Shiqi to go out of the east road, cooperate with himself, and attack Yizhi Xiandanyu in Mobei.
Cavalry tactics pay attention to thousands of miles of running and roundabout side attacks. Therefore, it cannot be simply assumed that Wei Qing's tactic of dividing his troops and advancing at the same time is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deliberately pitted Li Guang.
Wei Qing's Western Route Army was divided into two routes, dealing with Yizhi Xian Danyu, and Huo Quai's Eastern Route Army did not divide its troops, and dealt with the Xiongnu Zuoxian King (Xiongnu Prince).
Chu Tian had no opinion on Wei Qing's distribution results. He didn't worry that he would get lost all the way with Li Guang, because he brought Zu Chongzhi and the three guide cars made by Zu Chongzhi on this expedition, and he also deliberately brought a map of Mobei.
It is difficult for Li Guang to get lost.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were reminded by the Inhuman Sect that they also prepared a map of Mobei, they were extremely shrewd, and they would not worry about getting lost.
Cao Cao was worried that he was actually plotting with Chu Zimou all the way. This expedition was not only to guard against the Huns, but also to guard against Chu Zimou's sudden attack.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao was with him all the way, otherwise if Chu Tian really ignored the Xiongnu and turned to attack Cao Cao, Cao Cao might be wiped out by Chu Tian in Mobei.
Cao Cao also didn't understand why Chu Tian would go to great lengths to target him and always see him as a threat.
Yuan Shao thought of the advice that the military advisor Xu Yu had given him, and his eyes changed uncertainly.
He and Cao Cao and Chu Zimou all the way, and also mixed with the former general Li Guang and the right general Zhao Shiqi, two generals of the Han army.
Li Guang is already old and his ability has declined, and as for the right general Zhao Shiqi, his ability is mediocre.
Chu Tian was also secretly observing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were eyebrow-backing, and he was worried that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would give him a visit on the way, and he would be quite uncomfortable.
According to the record of "The New Language of the World", when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were young, they teamed up to snatch other people's brides in the middle of the night.
Now that the two of them are on the road with Chu Tian, Chu Tian has to guard against them.
You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people, not to mention that your teammates are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Li Guang was dissatisfied with Wei Qing's arrangement, and finally broke out: "The lowly position is the former general, but the general ordered the lowly to send troops from the east road, and the lowly post has fought against the Xiongnu since he was young, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has only now gotten the opportunity to fight against the Xiongnu." Willing to be a striker, fight to the death with Shan Yu! ”
"General Li, this is a military order. Military commanders, like mountains! ”
Wei Qing's tone was unquestionable.
Li Guang was a veteran general during the reign of Wenjing, who once served under Zhou Yafu and was older than Wei Qing. Wei Qing relied on the nepotism of his sister Wei Zifu and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to ascend to the throne, and it was not uncommon for him to have conflicts with the old generals who guarded the border fortress.
Chu Tian saw in his eyes, and in front of him was the old Li Guang, which was different from the young Li Guang who was in the main world of "Lord" at this time. When people are old, their temper is also impulsive, and they can't even think about it, so they persuade each other: "General Li, if we send troops from the east road, we may not be able to achieve results." Soldiers, treacherous ways. As long as the two elite soldiers fight fiercely, they can easily destroy the Xiongnu royal court. ”
Li Guang looked at Chu Tian, he wanted to speak and stopped, in the face of the great general and Emperor Wu of Han behind the general, Li Guang still chose to obey, and he had no choice.
Chu Tian's speech attracted Wei Qing's attention, and Wei Qing looked sideways slightly.
The tactical concept of this rebel general is somewhat similar to that of his nephew Huo Quai.
As long as the cavalry of the Han Empire was faster and more fierce than the Huns, the Huns would be caught off guard and retreated. To defeat the nomadic cavalry, you have to be faster and more ruthless than them!
"On both roads, there will be baggage teams out of Dingxiang County, passing through the Great Wall, and continuously transporting food and supplies to the front. Pay attention to protecting the grain routes, or raid the Xiongnu tribes to get supplies. After the last battle of Monan, the Xiongnu were afraid and fled far away from the north of the desert, so the chariots of the baggage team would not be looted by the Hun cavalry in the south. ”
Wei Qing reminded the generals about the supplies.
In this battle of Mobei, whether it was Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang, or the various Eastern Han princes who participated in the war, they were all supplied by the baggage team of the Han Empire.
On the surface, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led more than 100,000 main forces to sweep Mobei, but in fact, hundreds of thousands of people from the Han Empire were counted.
In order to completely sweep away the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the heritage left by the rule of Wenjing, and at the same time requisitioned the labor force of the whole country to continuously transport the grain and weapons from the rear to the front line. The longer the battle line, the greater the number of people needed, not to mention that the target of this campaign is far away Mobei.
The decisive battle that decided the fate of the Han Empire and the Xiongnu was also a contest of national strength between the two sides!
If the agrarian civilization wants to win, it will have to pay a greater price and use more manpower. Behind Wei Qing and Huo Quai, there was a man known as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was vigorously supporting, so that they had no worries.
Of course, it also depends on the strength of Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi.
If you don't have the talent to command the legion, it's not uncommon to take hundreds of thousands of troops out of the fortress to give away heads. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national strength was unprecedented, but there was no shortage of defeated generals, and they were demoted to civilians by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing came to power by nepotism, but they could win the battle, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the confidence to use them all the time, and they did not disappoint Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Win all the time.
After Wei Qing assigned the candidates for the two lines of soldiers and horses, he dismissed everyone: "Each general, each of them will hand over to the baggage team, and tomorrow they will pull out the camp and sweep Mobei." ”
"Chu Zimou, this time you have a good show with Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao all the way. I have Wei Qing to rely on on here, and there is basically no possibility of defeat. You have an unlucky Li Guang along the way, either lost or surrounded by the Hun army, and I can already see the ending. ”
Xu Fengnian, the lord of Longxi, deliberately ridiculed Chu Tian.
"Shut your crow's mouth."
Chu Tian was indeed a little depressed when he said this.
First of all, Li Guang's luck is really not very good in "Lord", and secondly, all the way with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Chu Tian is always a little uneasy, and it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep steadily.
Xu Fengnian and Wei Qing all the way, Wei Qing, as one of the twin walls of the Han Empire, has no doubt about his ability, so Wei Qing's road is relatively safe.
Compared with safety, Chu Tian was more worried about getting lost and trying in vain.
"Hahaha."
Xu Fengnian saw that Chutian was rarely at a loss, and couldn't help but laugh.
Chu Tian returned to his army and found Zu Chongzhi who was with the army, and Zu Chongzhi was checking the situation of the guide car.
It is not uncommon for the army to carry craftsmen and ancient scientists. Napoleon also often went on expeditions with a group of scholars.
"Is the guide car faulty?"
Before leaving the stopper, Chu Tian confirmed the situation of the guide car to Zu Chongzhi again.
The guide car is used to distinguish the direction, and without the guide car, it is too normal to get lost when marching in the strange and reckless steppe.
Zu Chongzhi replied: "The guide car is in good condition and can be used for a long time. ”
"That's fine."
So Chutian was very relieved to spend the night in Dingxiang County.
He summoned Mulan again: "Mulan, I need you ...... this time"
Hua Mulan's cheeks were red, they are now located in Dingxiang County, the sphere of influence of the Han army, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the Huns, if the lord wants to warm the bed, it is not impossible......
"I need your warhawk."
Chu Tian poured a basin of cold water on her.
In addition to the guide car, Chutian also needs Mulan's war eagle to scout and determine the direction. Birds are very sensitive to direction, and the war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout is another hole card for Chutian to chase and kill the Huns, rather than the biggest hole card, even more practical than the guide car.
With the War Eagle, Chu Tian could even learn about the progress of the Guardian Youth Legion every once in a while.
"Arrange for three war eagles to take turns to track the whereabouts of the Guardian Youth Corps; two war eagles, following the baggage team in the rear; There are also five war eagles, which are used to scout the surrounding Hun cavalry. As soon as the traces of the Hun cavalry are found, report immediately. We can't let Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu seize the opportunity to fight the Xiongnu. This time I want them to lose all their money. ”
Chu Tian dealt with the Xiongnu on the one hand, and also intrigued with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao on the other.
If he can beat it, Chu Tian will directly rush up, and if he can't beat the Huns, Chu Tian can also lure the Huns over, so that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have to join forces with him to deal with the Hun cavalry.
"Hmm."
Hua Mulan nodded, and was about to go down to make arrangements, when she was pressed on the bed of the tent by Chu Tian, she struggled weakly: "Just arrange it before the sunrise tomorrow." ”
……
Compared with the days when Chu Tian was moistened, Cao Cao was always worried, and he returned to his camp and gathered a few generals. He participated in the Battle of Mobei this time, and he didn't dare to bring all the elites out of the nest, so he only brought three generals, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan's cavalry marched faster, Zhang Liao could reduce the morale of the opponent, and Dian Wei acted as Cao Cao's bodyguard.
"I, Cao Mengde, am really unlucky, how can I plot with Chu Zi all the way, I won't be harmed by him."
Cao Cao, who is suspicious by nature, thinks more about it, the more likely it is.
What if Chu Tian suddenly tore his face halfway through and attacked his legion with his army?
In order to guard his home, Cao Cao did not bring tiger and leopard cavalry and military generals such as Cao Chun, Xiahoudun, Li Dian, and Le Jin, but only brought Zhang Liao and Xiahou Yuan, two cavalry generals. If Chu Tian disregarded the war with the Xiongnu on the way, he would destroy Cao Cao first, and Cao Cao would be finished.
"Cao Apu, Apu!"
Outside the camp, the voice of Yuan Shaojun's advisor Xu Yu sounded.
Cao Cao was dissatisfied with Xu You's nickname, he was now a Yanzhou assassin, and he would inevitably lose face to him.
Even so, Cao Cao still smiled and greeted him, and said happily: "Ziyuan is here, could it be that he has something to teach?" ”
Xu You got straight to the point: "Ah Gou, I heard that you have been working hard for a long time, and you can't sleep at night." In less than a year, you became Chu Zimou's prisoner. ”
"That's true."
Cao Cao had to admit it. According to this trend, he may be wiped out by Xuzhou Mu Chuzi in a year.
Xu You said meaningfully: "In this battle of Mobei, if Chu Zimou has three longs and two shorts, maybe his land of nine counties will fall apart. ”
"Ziyuan, what does this mean?"
Ah Pu asked knowingly. We are all the way, as long as Chu Zimou is done by the Xiongnu army, we will watch from the wall, and when they are both defeated, we will capture them in one fell swoop, both destroy the Xiongnu and Chu Zimou, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
Xu You's words startled Cao Cao, and his right hand holding the wine bottle shook slightly.
Xu You's plan to kill people with a knife is not ruthless.
"The Huns are the great enemy, how can they easily stand by and watch?"
"Definitely. We just wiped out the Xiongnu at the same time, and there was nothing wrong with destroying Chu Zimou. Yuan Benchu had generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Su, all of whom were fierce generals in the world, even if there was no Chu Zimou, just the Huns, what was there to fear? ”
"Ziyuan's plan is quite inappropriate, I need to think carefully."
Cao Cao struggled.
Whether the battle of Mobei is won or not will not have any impact on the overworld, this time it is just a competition to see who has the higher points. If the Xiongnu were allowed to attack Chu Zimou, it seemed that there was nothing to do.
With Chu Zimou's strength, even if the Xiongnu could win, most of the Xiongnu would suffer heavy losses, and Cao Cao could go up to harvest the Xiongnu.
"Yuan Benchu invited me to be a lobbyist, and Ah Pu doesn't need to think about it. Yuan Benchu helped you solve Chu Zimou, and in return, after defeating Shan Yu, you assisted Yuan Benchu in killing Liu Xuande's military division and Guan Yunchang. Yuan Benchu occupies Hebei, and you occupy Henan, each taking what he needs. ”
Xu Yu spared no effort to lobby Cao Cao.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be moved.
In the battle of Mobei, each prince only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao together had 20,000 people, and there were Hun cavalry to use.
If they returned to the Overworld, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's combined forces might be the same size as Chu Zimou's army.
If you want to calculate Chu Zimou, there is no better chance than the Battle of Mobei.
Chu Tian was also trying to trap Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
The other princes had their own agendas.
The next day, Wei Qing, the general of the Han Empire, led the main force to leave Dingxiang and go north out of the Great Wall.
Wei Qing is the main force of the Chinese army, and Li Guang is the division of the East Road!
The Chutian army crossed the vicissitudes of the Great Wall. This section of the Great Wall in Dingxiang County was originally built by the Zhao State, and later repaired by the Qin and Han dynasties to block the Xiongnu and other nomadic tribes from going south.
"The eldest husband should hold the three-foot sword, seal the wolf Juxu, and Le Shi Yanran!"
The vast desert spreads out as far as the eye can see, and people can't help but open their hearts.
More than 100,000 cavalry stretched for dozens of miles, with flags covering the sky, military vehicles and grain trucks in an endless stream, and the soldiers were stubborn and sharp, and their fighting spirit was high.
Just as Chutian, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao were on guard against each other, Chutian was prompted by the achievement system.
"Ding! The SS-level achievement 'Sealing the Wolf Juxu' is opened, and the achievement can be achieved by climbing the Wolf Juxu Mountain to build an altar and sacrifice to the sky. ”
