Chapter 328 The Battle of Mobei (2)

With Li Guang all the way?

In history, Li Guang lost his way in the battle of Mobei, missed the decisive battle between Wei Qing and Yi Zhi Xie Chanyu, and finally committed suicide.

Chu Tian, ​​Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao were assigned to act with Li Guang, and the mood was more complicated.

The reason why Li Guang turned black in Yintang is probably because Wei Qing ordered him to send troops from the east and was dissatisfied, thus arguing with Wei Qing.

Wei Qing obeyed the orders of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and only then did Li Guang 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 was not allowed to confront Yi Zhi Xie Shan Yu head-on.

Sima Qian had prejudice against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so his records were not necessarily correct. Wei Qing arranged for the former general Li Guang and the right general Zhao Shiqi to go out on the east road and cooperate with him to attack Yi Zhixie Chanyu in Mobei. From the map, if Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi did not get lost on this road, they would take a detour. To the rear of the Xiongnu, maybe it can indeed play a miraculous effect.

Cavalry tactics focus on rushing for thousands of miles and roundabout flanking attacks. Therefore, we cannot simply think that Wei Qing's tactics of dividing his troops and advancing together were the intention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to harass Li Guang.

Wei Qing's West Route Army was divided into two groups, against Yi Zhi Xie Chanyu, Huo Qubing's East Route Army did not divide, and against the Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang (Prince of Xiongnu).

Chutian has no opinion on Wei Qing's distribution. He was not worried that he would get lost along the way with Li Guang, because he brought three compass cars made by Zu Chongzhi and Zu Chongzhi on this expedition, as well as a map of Mobei.

It is difficult for Li Guang to get lost.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also prepared a map of Mobei after being reminded by the foreigners. They were very shrewd and would not worry about getting lost.

Cao Cao was worried that he was actually with Chu Zimou. This expedition, not only to guard against the Xiongnu, but also to guard against the sudden attack of Chu Zimou.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao was with him, otherwise, if Chutian really ignored the Huns and attacked Cao Cao, Cao Cao might be wiped out by Chutian in Mobei.

Cao Cao also did not understand why Chu Tian would not leave any room to target him, and always regarded him as a threat.

Yuan Shao's eyes changed when he thought of the counselor Xu You's advice to him.

He went all the way with Cao Cao and Chu Zimou, as well as the former general Li Guang and the right general Zhao Shiqi, two generals of the Han army.

Li Guang is old and his ability has declined. As for the right general Zhao Shiqi, his ability is mediocre.

Chu Tian was also observing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in secret, and he was worried that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would come to him on the way, and he would be very uncomfortable.

According to "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were young, they teamed up to grab other people's brides in the middle of the night.

Now the two are with Chutian, and Chutian has to guard against them.

The intention of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of defending others is indispensable, not to mention the teammates are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Li Guang was dissatisfied with Wei Qing's arrangement, and finally broke out: "The position of the humble post is a former general, but the general ordered the humble post to send troops from the east route. The opportunity. I am willing to be a striker and fight Shanyu to the death!"

"General Li, this is an order. The orderer is like a mountain!"

Wei Qing's tone was beyond doubt.

Li Guang was an old general during the reign of Wenjing, who once served under Zhou Yafu and was older than Wei Qing. Wei Qing came to power on the basis of his sister Wei Zifu's nepotism with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and had conflicts with the old general who was guarding the frontier.

Not uncommon.

Chu Tian saw in his eyes the old Li Guang, who was different from the young Li Guang who was in the main world of "Lord" at this time. People are getting old and temper tantrums, and they can't even think about it, so they persuade them: "General Li, if we send troops from the east route, we may not be able to achieve results. Soldiers are tricky. As long as two elite soldiers fight fiercely, they can be easily destroyed. The court of the Huns."

Li Guang looked at Chu Tian and hesitated. Facing the general and Emperor Wu of the Han behind the general, Li Guang still chose to obey, and he had no choice.

Chu Tian's speech caught Wei Qing's attention, and Wei Qing turned his eyes slightly.

The tactical philosophy of this rebel general is somewhat similar to that of his nephew, Huo Qubing.

As long as the cavalry of the Han Empire was faster and fiercer than the Huns, the Huns would be caught off guard and retreated. To defeat the nomadic cavalry, you must be faster and more ruthless than them!

"Both troops and horses will have transport teams going out of Dingxiang County, passing through the Great Wall, and continuously transporting food and supplies to the front. Pay attention to protect the food routes, or, loot the Xiongnu tribe to obtain supplies. After the last battle of Monan The Huns were afraid and fled far away from Mobei, therefore, the chariots of the baggage corps would basically not be looted by the Xiongnu cavalry in Monan.”

Wei Qing reminded the generals about supplies.

In the battle of Mobei, whether it was Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang, or the various Eastern Han lords who participated in the war, all the supplies were provided by the Han Empire's baggage team.

On the surface, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led the main army of more than 100,000 to swept across Mobei, but in fact, the hundreds of thousands of people in the Han Empire were also included.

In order to completely wipe out the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the legacy of the reign of Wenjing, and at the same time recruited the national labor force, and continuously transported the grain and weapons from the rear to the front line. The longer the battle line, the more people will be needed, not to mention that the target of this expedition is the distant Mobei.

The decisive battle to decide the fate of the Han Empire and the Huns is also a competition of national strengths!

If farming civilization wants to win, it has to pay a higher price and use more manpower. Behind Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, a man known as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is strongly supporting them, so that they have no worries.

Of course, it also depends on Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's own strength.

If you don't have the talent to command the legion, it is not uncommon to bring hundreds of thousands of troops out to give away people. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national strength was unprecedented, but there was no shortage of defeated generals. They were demoted to civilians by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing came to power by virtue of their nepotism, but they were able to win battles, so Emperor Wu of Han had the confidence to use them all the time, and they lived up to Emperor Wu of Han. Win all the time.

After Wei Qing assigned the candidates for the two groups of troops and horses, he dismissed everyone: "All generals, each handing over to the baggage team, will pull out the camp tomorrow and sweep away Mobei."

"Chu Zimou, this time you and Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao have a good show to watch. I have Wei Qing to rely on, and there is basically no possibility of defeat. You have the unlucky Li Guang along the way. , either get lost, or be surrounded by the Huns, I can already see the end."

Longxi lord Xu Fengnian deliberately mocked Chutian.

"Shut your crow's mouth."

Chu Tian was indeed a little depressed when he said that.

First of all, Li Guang's luck is really not very good in "Lord", and secondly, Chutian is always a little uneasy when he is with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and it is estimated that he will not sleep well.

Xu Fengnian and Wei Qing went all the way. As one of the two walls of the Han Empire, Wei Qing's ability was beyond doubt, so Wei Qing's journey was relatively safe.

Compared with safety, Chutian is more worried about getting lost, in vain.

"Hahaha."

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but smile when he saw that Chu Tian rarely suffered a loss.

Chu Tian returned to his army and found Zu Chongzhi, who was with the army. Zu Chongzhi was checking the condition of the compass car.

It is not uncommon to bring artisans and ancient scientists with the army. Napoleon often took a group of scholars with him on his expeditions.

"Is the guide car faulty?"

Before leaving the fortress, Chu Tian checked with Zu Chongzhi again about the situation of the compass car.

The compass car is used to distinguish the direction. Without a compass car, it is normal to get lost in the unfamiliar and wild prairie.

Zu Chongzhi replied: "The guide car is in good condition and can be used for a long time."

"That's fine."

So Chu Tian was very relieved to spend the night in Dingxiang County.

He summoned Hua Mulan again: "Mulan, this time I need you..."

Hua Mulan's cheeks are flushed, 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 Xiongnu, if the lord wants to warm the bed, it is not bad...

"I need your Warhawk."

Chu Tian poured her a basin of cold water.

In addition to the compass car, Chutian also needs Mulan's war eagle to conduct reconnaissance and determine the direction. Birds are very sensitive to direction. The eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout is another trump card for Chutian to hunt down the Xiongnu.

With the war eagle, Chutian can even know the progress of the Weiqing Corps every three to five.

"Arrange three war eagles to follow the whereabouts of the Weiqing Corps in turn; two war eagles to follow the baggage team behind; and five war eagles to detect the surrounding Xiongnu cavalry. Once you find the trace of the Xiongnu cavalry, report it immediately. We can't Let Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu ​​seize the opportunity to fight the Huns. This time I want them to lose everything."

While Chutian was dealing with the Huns, he also had to fight with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

If they can beat the Huns, Chutian will swarm them directly. If they can't beat the Xiongnu, Chutian can also lead the Xiongnu over, so that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have to join forces with him to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry.

"Um."

Hua Mulan nodded and was about to make arrangements when Chu Tian pressed her on the tent's bed. She struggled feebly, "Just make arrangements before sunrise tomorrow."

...

Compared with the moist days in Chutian, Cao Cao was always worried. He returned to his camp and summoned several generals. He participated in the battle of Mobei this time, and did not dare to bring all the elites out, so he only brought three generals, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan's cavalry marched faster, Zhang Liao could reduce the opponent's morale, and Dian Wei acted as Cao Cao's escort.

"I, Cao Mengde, are really unlucky. How can I go all the way with Chu Zimou? I won't be harmed by him."

The more suspicious Cao Cao thought about it, the more likely it was.

In case Chutian suddenly tore his face and attacked his army, what should he do?

In order to defend his home, Cao Cao did not bring the tiger and leopard cavalry and Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals, but only brought two cavalry generals, Zhang Liao and Xiahou Yuan. If Chutian disregards the war with the Xiongnu on the way and destroys Cao Cao first, Cao Cao will be finished.

"Cao Amo, Amo!"

The voice of Yuan Shao's military advisor Xu You could be heard outside the camp.

Cao Cao was dissatisfied with Xu You calling him by his nickname. He was now the prefect of Yanzhou, and he was too disrespectful to him.

Even so, Cao Cao piled up a smile, stomped out to greet him, and said happily, "Ziyuan is here, do you have something to teach me?"

Xu You straight to the point: "Ah, I heard that you have been suffering from Chu Zimou for a long time, and you can't sleep at night. In less than a year, you will become a prisoner of Chu Zimou."

"Indeed."

Cao Cao had to admit it. According to this trend, he might be eliminated by Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou in a year.

Xu You said meaningfully: "In this battle of Mobei, if Chu Zimou has three strengths and two weaknesses, perhaps his nine counties will collapse."

"What does Ziyuan mean?"

"Ah Wu knows why he asked. We are on the same road. As long as Chu Zimou is done by the Huns, we will stand on the sidelines. When they lose both, we will attack in one fell swoop, destroying both the Huns and Chu Zimou. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Xu You's words shocked Cao Cao, and the right hand holding the wine bottle shook slightly.

Xu You's plot to kill with a knife is not without viciousness.

"The Huns are the enemy, so how can they easily stand by and watch?"

"No. We just eliminated Chu Zimou while destroying the Huns. There is nothing wrong with it. Yuan Benchu ​​had generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Su. , what is there to be afraid of?"

"Zi Yuan'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 effect on the main world. This time, it is just a competition for who has higher points. If the Xiongnu were allowed to attack Chu Zimou, it seemed to be possible.

With the strength of Chu Zimou, even if the Xiongnu can win, most of the Xiongnu will suffer heavy losses, and Cao Cao can go up to harvest the Xiongnu.

"Yuan Benchu ​​invited me to be a lobbyist, Amo has no need to consider. Yuan Benchu ​​helped you solve Chu Zimou, and in return, after defeating Shanyu, you assisted Yuan Benchu ​​to kill Liu Xuande's military advisor and Guan Yunchang. Yuan Benchu ​​occupied Hebei, Amo you Occupy Henan, each gets what he needs."

Xu You spared no effort to persuade 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 the Huns cavalry could be used.

If he returned to the main world, the combined forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao might have 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.

Chutian is also trying to trap Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

The other princes have their own concerns.

The next day, Wei Qing, the general of the Han Empire, led the main force to leave Dingxiang, out of the Great Wall in the north, and split into two routes to attack Mobei!

Wei Qing is the main force of the Chinese army, and Li Guang is the side 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 State of Zhao, and later was repaired by Qin and Han to prevent nomadic tribes such as the Huns from going south.

"The man should hold a three-footed sword, seal the wolf Juxu, and Le Shi Yanran!"

The vast desert spreads out as far as the eye can see, making one's heart open.

More than 100,000 cavalrymen stretched for dozens of miles, with flags and flags in the air, and soldiers and grain carts in an endless stream.

When Chutian was on alert with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Chutian got a prompt from the achievement system.

"Ding! The SS level achievement 'Fenglangjuxu' is opened, and you can reach the achievement by climbing the Langjuxu Mountain in the north and building an altar to worship the sky."
