The Yellow River has a thick layer of ice, as long as a layer of hay is spread on the ice as a non-slip mat, you can quickly cross the river, the past natural danger, now it has become a smooth road, Han Sui stood on the bank of the Yellow River, watching the surging river water become a solidified horse, the feeling in his heart is very strange.

The opportunity of life is really magical, not long ago, he was still worried about the Hu people and food on the grassland Gobi, but now he is fighting in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the hinterland of the Central Plains, speaking of which, I don't know whether I should hate Fang Zhiwen will let me leave my hometown, or should I be grateful to Fang Zhiwen for giving me a chance to participate in the Central Plains hegemony.

Looking at the quiet river, Han Sui's thoughts were flying, maybe the original self would only be casually mentioned in the future history books, and now, he is likely to leave a strong chapter in the history books, from this point of view, he should be grateful to Fang Zhiwen!

Of course, if he really had the opportunity to take charge of Jizhou, Han Sui believed that he would be grateful to Fang Zhiwen, definitely!

The place where Han Sui crossed the river is located about fifty or sixty miles west of Yangping, the reason why he chose to cross the river here is that he is very knowledgeable, on the one hand, of course, because of the relationship between the water flow here, the ice is very thick, and it is easy for a large number of cavalry to cross the river smoothly, and on the other hand, it is an important geographical location here.

After crossing the river here, it is located in the territory of Dongping County, but it is closer to Yanggu, and you can immediately launch an attack on Yanggu, Yanggu, as the frontier of Wenchou, is just a military fortress, with Han Sui's ability, it should not be a big problem to capture this fortress.

What's even more interesting is that Han Sui's crossing of the river here is actually basically under the noses of the scouts in Yangping and Yanggu, so Han Sui's purpose is to kill two birds with one stone, and the ingenious changes are really difficult to explain in detail, when Han Sui saw Pang Yuan's combat concept, he was also surprised, and Cheng Gongying immediately voted in favor.

It's a problem if you don't use such a good plan!

"Lord, the army has crossed the river, let's go."

Han Sui looked back at Yan Xing and nodded, looked at the quiet Yellow River again, and drove his horse towards the river.

"Yanming, this big river is magnificent1

"I can't see it, it's all become an ice mound, but this scale is still very large, imagine it, when the waves in the Yellow River are rolling in the wet season, it must be very magnificent."

"Hehe, if you have a chance, you will definitely be able to see the turbulent appearance of the Yellow River."

Yan Xing glanced at Han Sui strangely, not knowing what he meant by this.

Han Sui smiled, and didn't expect this son-in-law to understand his complicated thoughts.

"Is there any news from the scouts?"

"No, but there was news from Pang Yuan's side just now, saying that Yangping's troops are gathering and should be mobilized to the south."

"Well, are you finally willing to move? I thought Wen Chou was going to give up Dong Ah 1

"No, Dong'e's location is important, it is an important node to suppress Dongping County, if it were me, I would rather give up Yangping than give up Dong'e."

"Hehe, yes, order the whole army to speed up and go straight to Yanggu, I will spend the night in Yanggu Fortress tonight."

"No1

Han Sui's 40,000 cavalry went south to cross the glacier and raided Yanggu Fortress, although the defenders of Yanggu Fortress were also very tenacious, but the number difference was too great, coupled with the rapid siege methods that were not suitable for Han Sui, and there was no general to preside over the defense, Yanggu, which had only 2,000 defenders, soon fell.

Wen Chou's troops were not slow, although they did not arrive in time to support Yanggu, but they crossed the Yellow River in time and rushed to Dong'e, blocking the way for Han Sui to continue eastward.

After resting all night without saying a word, early the next morning, Han Sui raised his tent and ordered his troops, and a large number of cavalry set off from Yanggu Fortress in batches and diverged to the east.

In Dong'e City, the Wen scandal is coming, the defenders at the head of the city have entered a high state of alert, the cavalry in the city has also gathered and prepared, and the information of the scouts has come one after another like flowing water.

"Jingshan, what exactly do you say Han Sui's purpose is? Why did you suddenly cross the river and go south? ”

Xu Miao was sent to the Wenchou Legion as a military advisor in the autumn, and after leaving Yecheng, Xu Miao felt much more comfortable, after all, he was still too young to adapt to the intrigue of Yecheng, and in the army, it was relatively much simpler.

Hearing Wen Chou's question, Xu Miao thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say, Han Sui can't be treated independently, although Han Sui and Lu Bu may not be of the same heart and mind, but after all, they are nominally subordinate, so isn't it also reasonable to transfer on the entire battlefield, and even be transferred to the southern front to deal with Cao Cao." In other words, Lu Bu was originally going to use Han Sui as a gunman, so in the current situation, Han Sui's southern crossing has many possibilities. ”

"Well, to put it simply1

"If we ignore the relationship between Han Sui and Lu Bu, and consider it only from the tactical level, Han Sui's southern crossing is to mobilize our army, and Han Sui's troops are mostly cavalry, and the characteristics of cavalry are high mobility. In order to break this stalemate, Lu Bu took advantage of Han Sui's high mobility to find the weak points of our army, if our army's reaction was a little slow, Han Sui might take advantage of the situation to seize these weak points and tear open our army's defense line. If our army rushes back and forth to help, Han Sui may also set a trap in the middle to eat our army's mobile troops. ”

Wen Chou nodded: "Jingshan and I basically have the same opinion, but even if we know the other party's intentions and really mobilize our army, we don't seem to have a better way." ”

Xu Miao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, the key is that our army is following Han Sui's pace, this is because of strategic problems, if you blindly defend passively, this situation is difficult to change, the so-called hundred secrets are negligent, I am afraid that Han Sui will eventually seize an opportunity and form a fatal blow to our army1."

Wen Chou frowned, this level of problem does not seem to be something that a Wen Chou army can decide, but can Yuan Shao's decision-making Wen Chou change?

"I think it's better to write to the lord and see if I can make the lord change his ways."

"Hard 1

Wen Chou paused and said, "Why would Jingshan say that?" ”

Xu Miao looked up at the flying eagle that was soaring in the sky, and said helplessly: "The lord's idea is not necessarily wrong, the reason why the lord is passively defending is not only against our army's front, but also to force Cao Cao to act." ”

"Forcing Cao Cao to do it? What do you mean by that? ”

"Hmph, that Cao Cao was entangled with Lu Bu in Dangxian, although he was defeated at the beginning, but since then, Cao Cao basically did not contribute much, Cao Cao's greatest contribution is to stick Lu Bu in Dangxian, originally, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for our army to attack Dongping and Rencheng and Shanyang, but unfortunately, Lu Bu released Han Sui at this time, so that the situation in the battle situation that was originally favorable to us has been restored to balance."

"Well, that's true, but where does it start to force Cao Cao to do it?"

Xu Miao hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Why did Cao Cao take the initiative to attack at the beginning, and then just try to drag Lu Bu in every possible way, instead of starting a decisive battle with Lu Bu?" ”

"I'm afraid this is the result of the big defeat at the beginning, right?"

"Yes, Cao Cao originally hoped to defeat or weaken Lu Bu, so as to change the situation on the entire Central Plains battlefield, but unfortunately, stealing chickens did not become a handful of rice, and as a result, he suffered a fiasco, so Cao Cao changed his strategy and dragged Lu Bu to let the lord do it, and this idea was also approved by the lord, so the early war unfolded like this."

"Hmmm! So what now? ”

"After Han Sui appeared, the battlefield situation has changed, on the whole, Han Sui plus the Frustration and the Iron Army, our army's advantage on the front line is not strong, if the strategy of attacking is adopted, the loss may be relatively large, if our army lets go and Han Sui and Frustration to fight to the death, or even defeat these two armies, it will make the battlefield have a serious imbalance, that is Lu Bu will be desperate to go north with our army desperately! And this ending must be cheap Cao Cao's, so"

Wen Chou suddenly, looking at this overall situation, the lord's choice is very reasonable: "So, the lord means that he would rather our army suffer a loss on the battlefield, but also force Cao Cao and Lu Bu to fight?" ”

"That's the idea, of course, it's just my guess."

"It's possible, it's very likely, judging from the current passive situation of our army, it's more like this kind of passive situation deliberately created, perhaps, this is what Cao Cao sees, when Cao Cao feels that the northern front has been unbalanced, and even the lord may fail, Cao Cao may not be able to help but go into battle shirtless, after all, Lu Bu is now a mountain pressing on Cao Cao's head, if Lu Bu is not moved, Cao Cao will have no room for development at all."

The expression on Wen Chou's face was a little excited, but Xu Miao's expression was the opposite, even if Yuan Shao's really planned to do so, for Yuan Shao, this choice was also a dangerous choice, Han Sui and Fu Zhu were not fuel-efficient lamps, Yuan Shao was making a show here for Cao Cao to see, if he couldn't say it, he would fake the show and fatten Han Sui's tiger, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean it up when the time comes!

"General, twenty miles north of the city, the enemy cavalry was found, the number was 10,000."

"Report! Thirty miles east of the city, enemy cavalry was found, numbering 20,000. ”

Wen Chou raised his eyebrows: "It's here!" But where did the 10,000 cavalry go? ”

Xu Miao thought for a while and said: "Maybe in the south, the cavalry on both sides want to bypass Dong'e and harass our logistics, Han Sui's cavalry has always liked to fight like this."

"Perhaps, maybe they hope that we will choose a partial division to go out of the city to pursue, and then attack our army together, they are still very confident in cavalry warfare."

Wen Chou waved his fist, there was a faint trace of unwillingness in his tone, in Wen Chou's memory, his cavalry was not as good as the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, and now compared with the Liangzhou Cavalry, it seems to be quite inferior, as a cavalry general, Wen Chou must be very uncomfortable in his heart.

"And what is the general going to do?"

"Hehe, of course it's based on the city, isn't the lord really meant?" RS！ ~！
