Chapter 339: The Xiliang Army Retreats
There are several articles on the forum, and there are countless people who follow the post, most of them are praised, in history, Zhang Liao belongs to Cao Cao, the head of the five good generals, Xiaoyaojin broke the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu in the first battle, and almost captured Sun Quan alive, and the world is shocked, it can be said that Zhang Liao has no stain, and almost no one dislikes a general like Zhang Liao.
Those who played games and those who did not play games compared Zhang Liao with the famous generals of the same period, most of them were compared with the generals under Liu Bei, so that the controversy was big, some liked Wei generals, some admired Guan Zhang, and there were different opinions.
Of course, there are discrepancies between the game and history, the strongest warlord in the game is Lin Sen, who is in Sanzhou, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are both generals under Lin Sen's account, Liu Guan and Zhang are still in Xuzhou, and only occupy one county in Xuzhou, so the argument has no result in the end, but there are many people who say that Zhang Liao should be the most meritorious military general under Lin Sen's account except for Zhao Yun, and some people even think that Zhang Liao should be the first of the generals, and there are many generals under Lin Sen's account, and even the historical forces of Eastern Wu have also been cast under his account, Therefore, it can be seen that Zhang Liao's martial arts are evaluated in this way.
Lin Sen got the report at dawn, when he was chatting with Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Zhao Yun and other generals, after the confidant player surnamed Wu came in and said, Lin Sen jumped up from the couch happily, and shouted: "Good, good, good, great, really good." β
The crowd in front of the case was also amazed, Zhang Liao and Xu Shu's move was too amazing, one of the three giants of Lu Bu's camp, the Xiliang Army was forced to be like this by Zhang Liao and Xu Shu, if nothing else, the Xiliang Army is likely to withdraw to Xiliang, Sili area. LΓΌ Bu will face him and Cao Cao alone, and the win rate will rise again.
"The lord has a good general like Wen Yuan. It's a blessing. β
"Well, yes. General Wenyuan is really a rare good general. β
Guo Jia said: "General Wenyuan is a good general, and it is also the trust of the lord that allows him to have such achievements, the leader is in charge, and with the assistance of Mr. Xu Yuanzhi, General Chen Shuzhi and Mr. Shi Guangyuan's Keiguan containment, all the reasons come together to cast the great victory of General Wenyuan, of course, General Wenyuan is the main factor, without his decisiveness, we cannot have such a good situation as now." β
"Hahaha." Lin Sen's heart was full of joy. It was really right to harvest Zhang Liao under pressure at the beginning, Zhang Liao is really like in history, and he can stand alone.
"Pass on my order, Zhang Liao, Xu Shu, Chen Zhi, and Shi Tao have made outstanding contributions, and they are my shares, and today I will commend the four people for their promotion, and each will be rewarded with five hundred gold, twenty brocades, and twenty pots of fine wine; Officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel in the army will be rewarded with 30 catties of gold. Five horses of brocade, five pots of fine wine, two catties of gold for the general soldiers, and five pieces of money. Ten pounds of wine and ten pounds of meat. And convey this order to every county in the three prefectures of Hebei and Youyou. β
To fight a war is to fight for money, since the beginning of the plot war. Lin Sen has already rewarded countless amounts of money, and I wonder if other warlords in the world can have such financial resources as him. Every time there is a victory, there is a large amount of money to take, and the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou army has always remained strong. There will be brave men under the heavy reward.
In fact, Lin Sen didn't want to fight, since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, every battle was the enemy wanted to encroach on his territory, so he had to fight back, fortunately, he could win every time, and now occupy the three states of Ji and You, plus the newly occupied Qingzhou Plain County and the land east of the Sili River, such a vast land naturally created countless money and food for him, and he also tried his best to protect the war outside the territory, so as not to let the three states of Ji and You be affected by the war, the merchants in the three states can do business freely, not only make money themselves, but also activate the economy of the three states, Lin Sen is also a beneficiary, so he dares to reward the army like this.
However, after this war, within two or three years, he thought that he should stop fighting, raise the people in the fields, and accumulate money and grain, otherwise he would not be able to bear the fight for so many years.
Without further ado, Lin Sen's camp was jubilant and had achieved a phased victory, and the only one who was a little depressed at this time was Cao Cao, who stormed Wuguan.
"Wen Ruo, Zhicai, Gongda, Lin Sen's side has just burned the grain and grass of the Xiliang army, and it is only a matter of time before the state side wins, once the Xiliang army is defeated, the Lu army in Hedong will definitely be defeated, once Lin Sen's troops enter Luoyang, then our battle will be in vain."
Xi Zhicai sighed and said: "General Lin is really full of talents, just one Zhang Wenyuan forced the Xiliang Army to be like this, and it may be a big trouble for your lord in the future." β
Xi Zhi is Cao Cao's earliest strategist, for Cao Cao to give advice, soldiers into the East County, Cao Cao harvested the strategist Cheng Yu who was an official in the East County, plus later into Yanzhou are all Xi Zhi is planning for Cao Cao, after entering Yanzhou, only ushered in Wang Zuozhicai Xun Yu, Xun Yu invited his nephew Xun Yu, these four people form Cao Cao's current strategist team, Xun Yu has been left by Cao Cao in the rear to govern internal affairs, collect money and grain, this is what he is best at, such as Zhuge Kongming.
Xun You was the mastermind that Cao Cao relied on, and it was he and Xun Yu's uncle and nephew who joined Lin Sen's camp and attacked Lu Bu, one of the reasons was to enter Luoyang first and welcome the Son of Heaven.
Xun You said: "In the next day to Lu Fengxian will withdraw the army, I heard that Qingzhou is tight, Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng once again sent the water division to the battlefield of Bingzhou, the Jinfan Navy Division in the area of Xiaopingjin will return to Qingzhou in the future, Lu Fengxian crossed the river without difficulty, at that time General Lin Sen two route army rounds together, the strength skyrocketed, is still his biggest enemy, defense along the river is his main job, so at this time the lord should not think so much, should strengthen confidence, as soon as possible to take Wuguan, straight to Luoyang, take the first step to win the Son of Heaven, This is especially important for the great cause of the Lord. β
Cao Cao listened to Xi Zhicai and Xun You analyze the current situation for him in a fascination, forgot to praise, and said for a long time: "Listening to the words of the two gentlemen is like drinking fine wine, it is really intoxicating." Gongda is right, our current enemy is Lu Fengxian, let's defeat him first. Come, and the people will come to the great tent. He said to Cheng Yu again: "Zhongde, tomorrow you will go back to Yanzhou, raise ordnance, grain and grass, and then send 100,000 troops from all over the country." β
Cheng Yu is also like Xu Shu, although he is also a resourceful person, and he is also a first-class strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, but he is also a person who is both civil and military, of course, the force value will only enter the range of third-rate generals in history, and sometimes, Cao Cao will also give him a soldier, led by him as a partial division, to confuse the enemy.
After a while, the generals came, except for Cao Ren in the area of Jibei and Taishan, as well as the Xiahou brothers who guarded the house, and the other generals followed this time.
Cao Cao said: "Tomorrow will start a truce for two days, reward the three armies, two days later, take turns to attack Wuguan, take Wuguan as soon as possible, and then march to Luoyang." β
Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are all led by military generals, Cao Cao is a general, not a direct general, and he directly dispatches the two soldiers and horses of the tiger and leopard cavalry and the tiger guard army to protect his safety.
The reason why he rested for two days was that he was tired after fighting for so long, at this time there was no war in Hedong and Bingzhou, and he was in a stalemate stage, if he suddenly attacked on his side, it was likely to attract Lu Bu's attention, and if he sent additional troops, then wouldn't he lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, unwise.
He explained some details to the generals, chatted with Xi Zhicai, Xun You and Cheng Yu about the current situation and future development, and finally retreated, took a book and read it.
At this time, Lu Bu's camp was in mourning, and the depressing atmosphere spread all over the battlefields of Lu Bu's camp, for no other reason, the Xiliang army did not say goodbye and returned to Xiliang's hometown.
Ma Chao's camp was destroyed, the food was lost, Ma Chao was sick at once, dragged the remnants, did not return to the camp, and led all the soldiers and horses back to the Xiliang camp under Keiguan.
Knowing this news, the Xiliang army was all shaken, the army's heart fluctuated, and the sense of war was rampant, and the soldiers were talking about the problem of regression, and soon a very serious problem was placed in front of them, that is, the food was only enough for half a month, they were not all cavalry, and there were large groups of infantry, so it took a month to go back to Xiliang, and the food was enough to return to the army.
The Liangzhou army was brave, Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi were only seen in their lives, but the logistics of the Liangzhou army were a fatal problem that limited them, and they needed to accumulate money and food for several years at a time when they entered the Central Plains, and the civil war continued, and the consumption was too serious, and they hurt themselves before they hurt the enemy.
Another point is that the Liangzhou army lacks resourceful people, in the past there were two major strategists in the Liangzhou army, Li Ru was originally an official in the imperial court, but Jia Xu was born in Liangzhou, even if this Liangzhou army has been arrogant for a long time, there are very few warlords who are willing to listen to the advice of the strategists, and of course there are very few strategists who will defect to the warlords of Liangzhou.
Take Li Dao and Guo Yan as an example, they had Jia Xu at the beginning, and Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and others in the martial arts, but they did not end up without a foundation, and they have defected to Lin Sen for two years, if it were not for Lin Sen's strict military discipline, I am afraid that the two of them would have made trouble a long time ago, Lin Sen's grace and power increased, so that their loyalty rose a little, and gradually, Lin Sen also handed over some soldiers and horses to their commanders, so that they gradually integrated into the big family of the Jizhou army.
Ma Teng and Han Sui, the two commanders of the Liangzhou army, convened all the generals to discuss the issue of advance and retreat, and each had his own ideas for a while, and Ma Chao, who was angry, was of course unwilling, and he fought vigorously, and when he was well and went out to fight again, he looked for other places to attack and merge with the state, but others had different opinions, and there were many conservatives.
"Well, if it doesn't work, then let's retreat." β¦β¦ (To be continued.) )
