Chapter 1079: Tang Army's Strategic Layout
After discussing his own affairs, Huangfu Chaobo added: "There is one more thing that you all must know, that is, the Yan Army and the Wei Army are fighting. We, the Tang Army, must try our best to support the Yan Army and delay it as much as possible. The energy of the Wei army was restrained, making it unable to move southward."
"This time when I go north to Youzhou, apart from setting up Yanbei County, I also have another important thing to do, which is to enhance the strength of the Yan army so that it can contain the Wei army. This includes selling more than 10,000 horses to the Yan army. Baima is also for this matter. In addition, there is another thing that will be a key point behind Yanbei County. "
"If we want to hold back the Wei army, it will be difficult for the Yan army alone. Therefore, after discussing with several military advisors, I decided that in addition to Yanbei's full support to the Yan army, we must also strengthen the strength of the Leting army. This time I have discussed with several military advisors Gongsun Zan reached an agreement, and the Yan army acquiesced to Leting's army sending troops to attack Liaodong, so at the latest early next year, Leting will send troops to the Liaodong vassal state, and Yanbei County must send reinforcements to support Leting's attack. "
Upon hearing this, everyone present understood what Huangfu Chaobo meant, and Meng Yi said: "My lord, don't worry, Yanbei County will definitely fully support Leting's war."
"Well, in addition to the increase in troops for the garrison, the battle camp also needs to increase troops. Many of the soldiers who moved from Qingzhou this time should have reached the standard of the battle camp. So Zhang An, after Huang Xu returns , you two must start the expansion of the Crane Control Camp."
Having said this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but start to have a headache again. He pressed his thumbs on both sides of his forehead and finally made up his mind: "In view of the special situation in Yanbei County, we will increase the Hekong Camp to four steps." Two cavalry troops from the Sixth School."
Zhang An was overjoyed and stood up to take the order: "The last general takes the order!"
No general would be dissatisfied with having too few soldiers and horses under his command. The more the better. There are six schools with four steps and two cavalry, a total of 30,000 troops. It is already the third largest camp in the war barracks after Huang Zhong Shenwu Camp and Zhao Yunlong Xiang Camp.
Seeing Zhang An's happy face, Huangfu Chaobo said angrily: "As for the war, you can discuss it with Military Advisor Yu of Leting Army. You can decide the timing and quantity of sending troops by yourself, and then you can report it to me. "
After saying this, Huangfu Chaobo looked at everyone in the hall and said: "This is the purpose of my trip north to Youzhou. It can be said that I have basically achieved what I originally thought. After upgrading the territory this time, I will After returning to the Central Plains, it is estimated that we will not go north for a long time. From now on, the affairs of Yanbei will depend on everyone here. "
"We will live up to your lord's trust!" Everyone stood up again and responded;
"Okay, if you have anything else you need to ask, you can ask me today."
Except for Meng Yi and Ma Xuan, everyone present shook their heads and said nothing. When Huangfu Chaobo looked at the two of them, he saw Ma Xuan looking around vaguely. Huangfu Chaobo saw this and knew that they I wanted to ask myself something, but there were too many people present, so I said, "Except for Meng Yi, Ma Xuan, Zhao Yu and Zhang An, everyone should step back and go about their own business. Hao Jian, It’s good to be prepared. After the discussion, we will arrange for the next level to be upgraded to the small town level.”
After everyone saluted, they exited the hall one after another.
Huangfu Chaobo smiled and looked at Ma Xuando: "Meng Chang, do you have something to say?"
Ma Xuandao: "I really have something I need to ask my lord for instructions on!"
"But it doesn't matter!"
"I would like to ask my master how far Yanbei will support Gongsun Zan, and if the Yan army loses to the Wei army, how will Yanbei County respond?" Ma Xuan thought about it and asked cautiously. ;
Looking at the four people present, Huangfu Chaobo said in a deep voice: "Meng Chang will not mention this matter. Before I leave Yanbei, I will also find an opportunity to know you. In the battle between the Yan Army and the Wei Army, the Yan Army will definitely be defeated. It’s just that what I’m asking you to do now is to delay the defeat of the Yan army as much as possible. Therefore, you need to carefully discuss how to send troops to help, how to delay it for a longer time and minimize the losses to Yanbei County. "
With that said, Huangfu Chaobo led everyone to the map.
Explain your arrangements clearly to several people one by one. Finally, Huangfu Chaobo pressed his hand on the location of Leting on the map and said: "Everyone should know that our Tang army was able to go from weak to strong and achieve what it is today because of the strong cavalry in our hands. Whether it is the Xiliang cavalry, the white horse Yi Cong, or the assault cavalry or the ordinary cavalry, they are our weapons to remain undefeated or turn defeat into victory in several battles. "
"And Yanbei County is the guarantee for the cavalry. If Yanbei is lost, the cavalry of our Tang Army will surely decline within two years. So the bottom line I give you is that no matter how defeated the Yan Army is, you will We must also keep western Liaoning intact. If we keep western Liaoning intact, we can continue to transport horses to the Central Plains. Once Laoting is lost, not only will the Central Plains be without horses, Yanbei County will also become a waterless duckweed, and it will not be able to survive for a long time. . Do you understand?”
The four of them were horrified and quickly bowed and replied: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely defend Leting!"
"Well, now you should understand why you should try your best to help the Leting Army occupy the Liaodong vassal country, right?"
Everyone nodded to express understanding, but their mood was much lower.
Seeing their looks, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although Yuan Shaojun is strong, with our strategic arrangement, it is not difficult to keep Liaoxi. If possible, even Youbeiping can Not to mention, there are Chifeng and Liaodong vassal states. If the information is correct, Gongsun Zan should also set the Chifeng cities into one county. No matter how the boundary is, Yanbei and Chifeng counties will rely on their The Great Wall is so dangerous that it will be difficult for the Wei army to capture it.”
"Yes," Huangfu Chaobo said: "Yanbei has hundreds of thousands of people as its base, and if it takes a year or two to train troops and horses, the Wei army can easily capture it, and there are Sizhou forces to attack Hebei." "Containment."
"Lord, don't worry, we will definitely live up to your trust!" Meng Yi spoke first; the other three people also reacted and expressed that they would defend Yanbei to the death.
Huangfu Chaobo smiled and shook his head and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. If Yuan Shao really wants to swallow Yanbei, he has to ask his countrymen for permission. Besides, he doesn't have such good teeth. Not to mention anything else, in terms of cavalry, he It is completely incomparable to us. When that time comes, if I gather tens of thousands of cavalry, I can turn Jizhou upside down and give him a taste of his power."
After hearing Huangfu Chaobo's words, everyone laughed. Yes, the Wei army did not have top cavalry generals, but Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong were both top cavalry generals. In front of them, the Wei army's cavalry was a joke, and even more What's more, there are Huyandu's assault cavalry, which are not comparable to the ordinary cavalry of the Wei army. If it is really going to be a life-and-death battle, I really don't know who will win.
