Chapter 1408: Yanbei Deploys Troops
Remember [new] in one second! Bingzhou, Yanmen Pass.
After Huangfu Chaobo left, Zhao Yun began to order the troops to reorganize. The first one to start was Zhang Liao's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, because there were four to five thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry prisoners in Yanmen Pass. Later, after Lu Bu's death, Cao Xing followed Cao Xing. Surrender together, so Zhang Liao only needs to recruit them all. With these more than 4,000 wolf cavalry veterans, the benefits are self-evident for the subsequent training of troops and horses.
However, after recruiting these wolf cavalry veterans, Zhang Liao needs to carefully select the remaining Bingzhou wolf cavalry from the remaining soldiers.
Next is Zhao Yun's white horse Yi Cong. The loss of the White Horse Yi Cong was not big in this battle, so Zhao Yun's fifteen thousand Yi Cong were quickly replenished.
Next are several groups of foreign cavalry, including the Huyandu cavalry, the Huns cavalry who went to Bei, and Xian Yufu's Wuhuan cavalry. Except for the 15,000 Huyandu cavalry and the 10,000 Huns cavalry who went to Bei, Supplement, but Xian Yufu's Wuhuan cavalry supplement made Zhao Yun feel a little troubled, because Xian Yufu did not belong to the army of the Tang State, but an ally's army, and there were no Wuhuan people in Bingzhou to supplement him. In the end, Zhao Yun had to Xian Yufu's cavalry will be put aside for the time being, and arrangements will be made after reporting to Huangfu Chaobo.
In fact, he didn't know that Huangfu Chaobo was also struggling with how to arrange Xian Yufu, because after all, they were the allies' troops, and one of the two generals had died, and there were only less than eight of the 20,000 cavalry left. Qianqi, there is another more troublesome problem. Their way back to the Liaodong vassal state has been blocked by the Xianbei people.
Well, it is not entirely correct to say that there is no way back to Liaodong. For example, it only takes more than ten days to go by boat. Of course, the premise is that they rush to Yanmen Pass to the Yellow River in the south, and then abandon their horses and take a boat. Rush to Liaodong.
But, but, unlike Huangfu Chaobo's troops, almost no one of these Wuhuan cavalry has ever been on a ship. What's more, there are still more than ten days at sea. It is estimated that by the time these Wuhuan cavalry arrive in Liaodong, In the end, only four thousand of the eight thousand soldiers were left, and the remaining people estimated that nine and a half of their ten lives had been lost.
Rather than this, it would be better to keep these people in Bingzhou, but Huangfu Chaobo couldn't talk to Xiaoqiang, so he just appeased Xian Yufu and a group of Wuhuan cavalry, letting them wait for the news in Bingzhou.
After completing the replenishment of these special units, Zhao Yun began to replenish the ordinary cavalry. There were four more cavalry units in total, namely Yingyang Camp, Hujie Camp, Huang Xu's Hekong Camp, and Zhao Guojiang's troops in Guangmucheng. Here, the cavalry of Yingyang Camp must return to Shangjun to defend the remnants of Zhao from the direction of Beidi County. Zhang Liao's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry will also go to Luoyang to wait for Huangfu Chaobo's arrangements, so there are only 40,000 special troops left in the northern part of Bingzhou. cavalry and thirty thousand ordinary cavalry.
After the cavalry was replenished, it was time to make arrangements for the infantry. There were nearly 100,000 infantry in the Bingzhou cities north of Yanmen, but given the current situation, it was simply impossible to support such a large number of soldiers and horses.
After careful discussion with Fa Zheng,
Zhao Yun decided to reduce the number of infantry, and selected 50,000 elite soldiers from them, and placed them at important passes such as Jiluxai, Gaoque Pass, Manyi Valley Pass, Yanmen Pass, as well as in the counties and cities of various counties. In each county, only one thousand ordinary soldiers are deployed. If calculated in this way, the infantry needs about seventy or eighty thousand infantry, and the remaining twenty or thirty thousand who are slightly less physically fit will simply be disbanded and placed in various cities. .
The replenishment of the cavalry was completed quickly, but the arrangement of the infantry could not be done overnight, because there were too many surrendered troops from Zhao, and they were all drawn from player territories that Lu Bu had harmed for several rounds. came out, so it is certain that the good and the bad are mixed. Among them, Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses in Guangmu City and Song Xian's soldiers in Feiyang City are relatively good. The rest of the soldiers and horses are basically soy sauce existences. .
Fortunately, Tian Yu's Yingyang Camp and Huang Xu's Hekong Camp still had 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers. After picking out all the wounded soldiers, they selected suitable soldiers from Zhao's surrendered troops, and finally these 50,000 soldiers were eliminated. The reorganization of the soldiers is completed.
After discussing with Fazheng and others, Zhao Yun began to arrange the candidates for the garrison of each pass. Qu Yan was appointed as the captain of Jiluxai, Tang Shi was appointed as the captain of Gaoque Pass, and Wang Du was appointed as the captain of Manyigu Pass, each leading the battle. Five thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry were stationed to resist the Xianbei attack. These passes were built in very dangerous locations. It can be said that one man can guard the pass and no one can open it.
The three of them are also veterans who have been in the army for a long time, and they have stayed in the North for nearly ten years, so Zhao Yun is relieved to hand over these three important passes to the three of them.
The next step was to arrange the troops and horses in each county. After careful consideration, Zhao Yun decided to appoint Cao Xing as Shuofang's general and set up his headquarters in Guangmu City. Song Xian, the general in charge of Yunzhong, was stationed in Yunzhong City. Li Feng, the general of Wuyuan, was stationed in Jiuyuan City. Wang He, the general in charge of Dingxiang, was stationed in Shanwu. Each garrison commanded 5,000 soldiers, 3,000 county soldiers and 2,000 cavalry, for a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses.
In addition, Yanmen Pass arranged 10,000 horses and 5,000 cavalry, and Gao Lan was appointed as the captain of Yanmen Pass. The remaining 5,000 soldiers were arranged by Zhao Yun to Pingcheng to defend Wei's army and serve as the defender of Pingcheng. Then Xu Huang was temporarily appointed as the guard general. However, Zhao Yun also knew that Xu Huang and Gao Lan would be transferred elsewhere by Huangfu Chaobo sooner or later, but it has not been determined yet.
According to this calculation, 50,000 combat soldiers have been arranged, and the remaining counties have arranged 1,000 county soldiers for each city, and the extra soldiers have been directly dismissed and placed in various cities.
Well, it is said that all the extra soldiers have been dismissed, and there are really not many soldiers left. Of course, the injured combat soldiers are not among the dismissed. They are all arranged to serve as generals at all levels in the county soldiers. After all, they are all veterans who survived the war.
The inside and outside of Yanmen Pass are very lively, and Gaoliu City, hundreds of miles away in the east, is not calm either. Under Sima Yi's efforts, Yuan Shao is once again ready to take up the banner of the anti-Tang alliance, and is now gathering a group of subordinates to discuss the subsequent political arrangements of the Wei Kingdom.
However, at this time, an urgent report suddenly came from Youbeiping. It turned out that the Xianbei army went south to attack Gongsun Zan's Lulong County. No, now it is not Gongsun Zan's Lulong, but Huangfu Chaobo's Lulong, um, Lulong County of the Tang Kingdom.
This was also what annoyed Yuan Shao the most. He fought hard to get the five counties of Youzhou, but Huangfu Chaobo did nothing and easily took the three counties of Youbeiping into his pocket. How could Yuan Shao swallow this?
