Chapter 33: It turned out to be "elite"!
When Zhang Liao was introduced into the big tent of Xu Rong's Chinese army by the soldiers, Xu Rong and Jia Xu saw Zhang Liao.
At this time, Zhang Liao's armor was even more powerful.
When he saw a resolute-faced general sitting at the head of the big tent, he knew that it was Xu Rong, and hurriedly saluted: "A certain general, Zhang Liao, has seen General Xu." ”
Then he saluted Jia Xu and said, "I've seen Jia Junshi." ”
Xu Rong stared at Zhang Liao for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "General Zhang came from Chang'an, and it was really hard. ”
At this time, after Jia Xu returned the salute, he was also looking at the young general.
Zhang Liao hurriedly replied: "It's not hard, it's not hard." ”
Xu Rong only regarded Zhang Liao as polite and ordered him to sit down and discuss the matter.
Zhang Liao didn't have any other thoughts at this time, because he really didn't feel the hardship, and he rode on a Jedi horse, walking on the ground wherever he went.
And the cavalry he led did not complain all the way, and after observation, he unconsciously quickened the speed of his journey.
In fact, after this march, Zhang Liao found that the overall quality of the cavalry led by him was very good, and he thought that Dong Zhuo handed over the elite cavalry to him when he transferred troops and horses.
Otherwise, how could this speed be so fast, and it can be mobilized like an arm?
The father-in-law can hand over the elite soldiers and horses to himself, which is a trust in himself.
At this time, I only heard Xu Rong ask: "General Zhang led the army to rush here, and after a few days of repairs, I will wait for the troops to go out of Yiwu, I don't know what General Zhang wants?" ”
Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and replied: "The army is still neat along the way, and the soldiers under his command still have the strength to fight, Liao thinks that it can be repaired in one day." ”
When Xu Rong heard this, he frowned, "One day?!" "General Zhang is sure?!"
"Although Xiangguo ordered us to control and merge the state, there is no problem with repairing for a few more days, if people are sleepy and lack of horses to fight the enemy, it is a big mistake."
Zhang Liao felt a little strange in his heart, and he knew best the army he led.
Not tired.
We really weren't tired.
It's even very easy, this is an elite soldier provoked by his father-in-law, this General Xu Rong is too cautious!
Zhang Liao confirmed: "It only takes one day to return to General Xu. ”
"Things in the army, Liao and dare to speak out."
For the sake of Xu Rong's heart, I only heard Zhang Liao continue: "At this time, the men and horses brought by Liao are all elite soldiers from Bingzhou dispatched by the father-in-law, and there is no problem for one person and two horses to continue marching. ”
"Elite soldiers?!"
"I see."
Xu Rong instantly had a feeling of sudden understanding, and what Zhang Liao was talking about was his father-in-law!
Father-in-law?
Could it be that Dong Xiangguo accepted Zhang Liao as his adopted son?
Because the transmission of information is relatively closed, Xu Rong and Jia Xu still don't know the news that Zhang Liao has been accepted as a righteous son by Dong Zhuo.
It's done!
Now that he has thought about everything, it is no wonder that Zhang Liao marched so fast, and it turned out that the men and horses he led were all elite soldiers and horses dispatched by Dong Xiangguo.
The reason why Dong Xiangguo handed over the elite soldiers and horses to Zhang Liao was because Zhang Liao was Dong Xiangguo's righteous son!
At this time, the three people in the military tent all blamed Dong Zhuo for the reason.
They didn't know that the cavalry led by Zhang Liao was just ordinary cavalry.
It's just because after Zhang Liao became Dong Zhuoyi's son, the special effect of "his speed like the wind" rewarded by the system.
Xu Rong thought he had understood everything, nodded secretly, and ordered: "Since this is the case, then it is a day of repair." ”
"At that time, in addition to General Zhang commanding the 10,000 cavalry of the headquarters, Xu is transferring 10,000 cavalry and General Zhang, a total of 20,000 horses, with General Zhang as the vanguard general, and the troops will be out of Yiwu."
When Zhang Liao heard this, his heart suddenly burst, "Twenty thousand cavalry!" ”
"I haven't commanded so many men yet."
Zhang Liao was a little panicked in his heart for a moment, but then calmed down, this is an opportunity to exercise!
Zhang Liao saluted and said: "The last general will receive the order!" ”
Xu Rong saw Zhang Liao's response, and then said: "In this dispatch, in addition to General Zhang as the vanguard, Xu led 50,000 foot soldiers to follow closely as the Chinese army. ”
"A total of 70,000 soldiers and horses on foot and horse, which can be claimed to be an army of 300,000 to the outside world."
"As for the grain and grass, the weight is all good." After speaking, Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu on the left side of his head, Jia Xu got up and saluted: "You must do your best." ”
After setting the general direction of the army, Xu Rong said to Jia Xu: "This time, General Zhang is leading elite soldiers and horses, and the plan we waited for before was still too conservative. ”
"In my opinion, General Zhang can lead the cavalry under his command and go straight to the county town of Shangdang, and I can lead the infantry to follow closely behind."
Jia Xu pondered for a moment, "General Xu is reasonable, it seems that Xiangguo has already made all preparations this time. ”
"With these 10,000 elite cavalry, it is not difficult to gallop and annex the state."
"The only one to worry about is the Southern Xiongnu who are ravaging in the state."
"The people of the Southern Huns are good at horsemanship, and the terrain of the state is suitable for cavalry combat, if you encounter the people of the Southern Huns, you should be careful to guard against one or two."
At this time, Jia Xu moved his gaze to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao nodded and responded: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, but we are not so easy to get along with. ”
Zhang Liao's tone was full of confidence.
With the "elite soldiers and horses" allocated by his father-in-law, and fighting in the Bingzhou he is familiar with, Zhang Liao's confidence has doubled!
"These Hu people took advantage of the domestic war and plundered one side, and they must teach a good lesson."
"And if it can be co-opted, it will be of great benefit to our stability and state."
Xu Rong and Jia Xu both nodded when they saw Zhang Liao's words.
Cavalry is rare, not only because of the war horses, but also partly because of the soldiers themselves.
A man who can simply ride a horse is not a cavalryman, and a cavalryman must be able to fight on horseback.
In order to expand the source of troops in the cavalry of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, there were many mixed Hu and Han soldiers among the cavalry soldiers.
Of course, this is not the case in Youzhou, Youzhou Gongsun Zan has a tough attitude towards the Hu people, and when he sees the Hu people, it is a "kill" word.
Therefore, Gongsun Chan did not have any Hu soldiers under him.
"In that case, then the three of us are totaling."
"There is no room for failure in this troop dispatch."
Xu Rong was able to defeat Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so he naturally had his advantages.
Later, after the three of them had a detailed discussion on the strategic deployment of the troops and the state, Zhang Liao returned to the camp to reorganize his troops and horses.
20,000 cavalry, it is easy to say, but there is a saying that says, "There are more than 10,000 men and horses, and there is no shore." ”
After some adjustments, the battle flags in the army were unfurled, and the men and horses were arrayed.
Zhang Liao held a spear in his hand, stepped over the Jedi with his feet, and suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.
"Pass the order, and send the soldiers to the party!"
With Zhang Liao's order, the vanguard cavalry led by him began to move.
The voice of the herald was heard throughout the barracks.
"The general has an order! The whole army is leaving! ”
"Report!"
"General Zhang, the scout battalion has departed!"
"Report!"
"General Zhang, the front army has set off!"
