In fact, when the main general is established, this kind of thing becomes simple and efficient. (The full-text novel is the fastest update)
Of course, this is not disrespectful to the opponent, but after the core has been established, the others consciously put themselves in the right position and work according to the division of labor to get the stopped war machine back into operation.
Yan Zhong and Zhong Xuan stayed in Anyi to deal with the mess left by the Haoqiang Rebellion, and at the same time, they were also responsible for taking care of the families of the Baibo Army who left the valley. Although the work of dismantling the White Polish Army has been temporarily suspended, the places and money and food that have been prepared must also be prepared.
Speaking of which, Yan Zhong didn't expect that the Bai Bo Army, which had been wiped out several times, could still have a population of more than 100,000 and more than 50,000 combatable soldiers. Although the number of soldiers was uneven, and it could even be said that men except for children and old people who could not carry weapons and those who were physically weak were counted in the category of soldiers, such a number did surprise Yan Zhong. This made him have to sigh at the strong appeal of the Bai Bo Army and the number of natural disasters in various parts of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, Yan Zhong more or less overlooked one thing, that is, the culprit of the growth of this White Wave army should be counted on the head of the late Emperor Liu Hong of Han Ling.
At that time, Liu Hong drove 100,000 displaced people to the northwest, hoping to relieve the pressure of the displaced people in Luoyang by means of work-for-relief.
The idea was good, and the implementation was good at first, but later, with the tug-of-war in the northwest and the emergence of various internal frictions, the displaced people gradually had an additional function of battlefield cannon fodder in addition to the heavy conscription, so many unbearable homeless people saw that they could not resist the well-equipped army and were extremely vigilant because they were always on guard against the enemy's attack, so the only way to survive was to escape. Whether it is fleeing Hongnong, Feng Yi, or fleeing to Hanzhong, they are all just trying to survive.
Naturally, they ran to Hanzhong and even the central part of Yizhou, and became the troops of Zhang Lu, Liu Yan and others who actively expanded their strength, and most of the displaced people who fled to Feng Yi and Hongnong became the fresh blood of the Bai Bo Army.
Although joining the White Polish Army did not fundamentally change their living conditions compared to the part of the displaced people who went south, people are afraid of comparison, at least they follow the White Polish Army, although their life is still difficult and they have to face the suppression of government troops and local armed forces, but at least they feel that this is fighting for their own future, not the tomorrow with no hope at all.
So after Zhang Xiu took over, he found that the biggest headache he should have now was not how to deal with the sudden unknown army, but how to supervise the superior Baibo army and the strong private soldiers of Guishun so as not to let a conflict break out between the two sides.
As a result, the troops that were supposed to be deployed in sections turned into a large corps with a large number of people, which made Zhang Xiu and Cao Xing, Zhang He and Xu Huang, who appeared as deputy generals, feel like they couldn't laugh or cry.
Therefore, in view of this situation, Yan Zhong and Zhong Xuan decided to send a secret letter to Cheng Yu, who was sitting in Jinyang, asking him to mobilize troops to be ready to rescue or block the passage between Taiyuan County and Hedong County at any time.
As for Huang Zhong's side, Yan Zhong did not inform him, but after consulting with Zhang Xiu, he sent two tuns, that is, 400 people, to garrison Jiguan to hold the organs, on the one hand, to take this place as their main retreat direction if they were defeated, and on the other hand, to ensure that even if they could not retreat to Jiguan, the soldiers of these two tuns, plus the soldiers originally stationed in Jiguan, would be enough to resist for a while and take the opportunity to inform Hanoi.
Although it looks like he has no confidence in himself, it should be said that the sudden appearance of the other party really made everyone present feel a chill, and unconsciously raised the estimate of the enemy's strength in their hearts.
Of course, soon the originally depressed Cao Xing, Zhang He and Xu Huang had good waists, legs and good health, but Zhang Xiu, who successfully got the position of coach, looked at the three guys who completely ignored his gaze with the same resentful eyes as Cao Xing before.
Although it is only more than 150 miles from Anyi to Pishi, it will not take more than two hours to drive on the highway without traffic jams in modern society, but it is a rather headache to put it into this large army with different soldiers, especially many troops who belong to the newly surrendered and demoralized large corps.
I am afraid that everyone in the Celestial Empire will be familiar with an idiom: retreat. The story behind this idiom seems to be a story of a man who keeps his promises, but in fact it is more like a successful fraud in the art of war: using the most sincere and beautiful words, announcing the most tragic and desperate verdict, and using all his best to prepare but having to go into the enemy's predetermined battlefield, neither the glory of victory nor the reputation of the opponent's faithfulness, unable to retreat or leave.
Well, what we want to talk about here is neither the poor and conceited Ziyu, nor the heavy ear of one of the most indisputable five tyrants, but the word "she" in this idiom.
Those who are familiar with that story know that retreating from three houses is to lead the troops back ninety miles (Zhou system) of the distance, that is to say, one house is thirty miles (Zhou system), and the ancient march after a day of encampment is also called a house, from which it can be known that the ancient normal march is basically a day of thirty miles, which is equivalent to about 25 miles in modern weights and measures.
Although it doesn't seem like much, considering the nutritional intake of ancient people and the difficulty of night blindness to march in the dark sky, the marching time is limited, so such a distance is also the result of helplessness. It is precisely because of this that the Red Army, which can march sixty or seventy miles a day in the mountains and can march rapidly at any time, can definitely be called a flying army.
This means that the marching speed of Zhang Xiu's motley army is obviously only less than thirty li, which means that it will take at least nearly six days to rush from Anyi to an army like Pi's. This means that by the time Zhang Xiu's army arrives at Pi's, he is afraid that the daylilies will be cold, and the mysterious army will have enough time to complete their next move.
"So, Wen Qiao, you will lead the army in the back, and I will lead the cavalry to the Pi clan first, but you should also be careful in the back."
Since the coach gave Zhang Xiu, this vanguard general is naturally indisputable, not to mention that he is the best at detecting the enemy's situation among several people, so even Zhang Xiu can only say nothing. Xu Huang is a native of Hedong, even if he needs a leading party, it is difficult to find a more suitable person than him, not to mention his tiger eyes, a vicious gaze that will follow him if he robs him more.
As for Zhang He, who seems to be completely out of touch—huh? When has Zhang Junyi disappeared!! Could it be that he has already practiced the signature magic of a certain Akarin?!
"I'm so stupid, really, I just thought that I could order the whole army to show off my skills just because I got the commander, who knew that I would be taken advantage of by a handful of separatists and lead the cavalry away from me first, but I could only sigh like a turtle in the back that everything happened too fast."
Well, let's ignore this poor boy who is just as haggard as the Celestial Empire shareholders and Celestial Empire fans, and maybe this kid will still be obsessed with it or even like it after many years.
Of course, after setting off, Cao Xing and the others couldn't care about Zhang Xiu's mental journey at this time, their goal was very simple: to rush to Pi's as soon as possible, and if they could, they must stop the other party, or at least delay the other party's travel speed.
It's just that although Cao Xing and the others have thought that the other party is strong enough, the result still makes them feel unprepared. "What? Are they gone? ”
Cao Xing knew that he was a little out of shape at this moment, but he really couldn't care about it at this moment, although it would take a day to rush from Anyi to Pi's horseback riding, enough time for the mysterious army to make the next move, but the other party's actions were so secretive, it was obvious that he was not only an expert in this area, but also that his intentions would not be small.
What exactly are their goals? The state army in the east of the river? Zhang Xiu's Chinese army? Or do you want to completely muddy the waters east of the river? Still is...... Cao Xuan knew that he didn't have enough brains, so he couldn't imagine anything more, and the only thing he knew was that if he allowed this army to shuttle around their noses like a ghost, then they were afraid that they would really get into big trouble. Even Cao Xuan had already thought that Li would still disperse the large army into various towns, leaving only the cavalry to attack at any time? ”
Although he once led the troops to wander on the grassland, and also led the corps to trap the Baibo army in the sky and without a door, but that already made Cao Xuan feel haggard, and now in the face of such a change, Cao Xuan is really bottomless.
He really wanted to play a calm and calm image of a general in front of his colleagues and subordinates, just like Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao had done. It's a pity that he failed in the end, even if he tried his best to hide it, but Zhang He and Xu Huang could see what kind of torment Cao Xing was in his heart with his brows tightly locked and his face full of sadness.
"Divide the troops. Gongming is more familiar with the geography of Hedong, and can search along some mountain paths that are relatively remote and can hide their tracks. Follow the main road to see if you can find some clues along the way. I led the troops to Pi's to see if I could find any traces, maybe the other party gave us a trick, but in fact, it is still in Pi's territory. ”
Cao Xing looked a little uncertain, although Xu Huang had no shortage of bold moves in the use of troops, but those must have a premise, that is, when he has a good understanding of the enemy's information, he still prefers to be more cautious when the enemy's situation is unknown. Only Zhang He, who didn't like to be restrained in his mind and had been "kindly baptized" by Li Shushi for a while, would come up with such a seemingly bold and adventurous suggestion.
"Aren't you afraid that the enemy will set a trap on the way?" Xu Huang frowned, his face a little shaken.
"Send more scouts, pay more attention to details that may have been overlooked in the past, and then ...... Ask for more blessings. But I believe that if we can find the enemy once, we will be able to find it again. Don't engage them lightly when you find out, and if you can, try to wait until the surrounding troops have converged before taking action. ”
Seeing Zhang He's pretending to be relaxed, Cao He and Xu Huang looked at each other for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.
So, after a quarter of an hour, the original cavalry team split into three and went to different paths.
Note: A strange person with a low sense of existence to a certain level is a character that even Jia Xu has to look up to, an angel attribute.
