Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 261 Separation of Offense and Defense
Chapter 260: Separation of Offense and Defense
Before Qin Hao's words were finished, Li Ru, who was beside Dong Zhuo, stood up and asked, "Won't the cavalry take part in defending the city?"

Qin Hao glanced at Li Ru, whose brows were slightly wrinkled, and said with a light smile, "You don't have to participate in the battle of defending the city unless you have to!"

"But as far as I know, the Yanmen Army seems to be all cavalry!" Li Ru said lightly.

The meaning of Li Ru's words is very obvious. You Yanmen Army retains its strength, but you let us fight the Yellow Turban Army desperately, isn't it good?

Liu Yu and Ding Yuan knew about the fact that all members of the Yanmen Army were cavalry soldiers, so they didn't react. Dong Zhuo's heart suddenly became big when he heard it, and his eyes towards Qin Hao also became a little sharper.

Dong Zhuo, who was born in Xiliang, knew how difficult it was to train and support cavalry, and the Yanmen Army was actually cavalry, which was too extravagant!

Seeing this situation, Qin Hao couldn't help sighing inwardly: Li Ru was worthy of being a top strategist at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he could see his biggest purpose at a glance.

That's right, the biggest reason why Qin Hao asked all the cavalry to go south was actually to preserve his strength.

In this decisive battle, it was obvious that the Yellow Turbans attacked Dahan's defense, and the cavalry did not need to join the defensive battle. If the Yanmen Army were all cavalry, they could avoid confrontation with the Yellow Turbans to the greatest extent possible, thus preserving their own strength.

Not only the Yanmen cavalry, but the other three cavalry did not need to participate in the defense of the city. Qin Hao took advantage of this, so even if Li Ru discovered it, there was no way to change the result.

So in the face of Li Ru's aggressiveness, Qin Hao didn't care, and said lightly: "If the Hedong Army agrees to let the cavalry guard the city, then my Yanmen Army will naturally join."

"You..." Li Ru also wanted to refute, but was speechless.

The current Dong Zhuo is not the great demon king of later generations. He does not have [-] Xiliang iron cavalry as his backing. If the general's small number of Xiliang iron cavalry is consumed in the battle of defending the city, it is absolutely impossible for Dong Zhuo to agree to be killed. of.

Yang conspiracy.Li Ru sighed inwardly.

What is Yangmou?

Even if he knew it was a plan, he had to jump in. Even if Li Ru could see Qin Hao's plan, there was no way to stop it. This was Yang Conspiracy.

Li Ru never thought that Qin Hao, a 15-year-old child, would be so difficult to deal with.

Liu Yu didn't want to affect the overall defense plan because of this trivial matter, so he took the lead in expressing his position: "My Youzhou Army agrees that the cavalry will not participate in the defense of the city."

"The Bingzhou Army also agrees." Ding Yuan said solemnly, he and Qin Wen belonged to the same faction, and naturally there was no reason to stand up against Qin Hao.

With the approval of Liu Yu and Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo was also completely isolated. Jia Xu gave Dong Zhuo a wink at this time. Dong Zhuo saw this and said helplessly: "Okay, I also agree with He Dongjun."

In fact, whether the Yanmen Army participates in the defense of the city has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, but Qin Wen is the main general, and his subordinates do not take the lead, but let their group of lieutenants take the lead, which makes Dong Zhuo very unhappy.

However, Qin Hao's rhetoric also prevented Dong Zhuo from finding any loopholes. Since ancient times, when defending the city before life and death, there is really no precedent for cavalry on the city wall.

Forget it, who makes people rich and rich, they are all cavalry!

Seeing this situation, Qin Wen nodded with satisfaction. He thought he would have to go through a fight, but he didn't expect his son to convince everyone so easily.

In this battle, although Qin Wen was canonized as the main general by Liu Hong, the only ones who were directly under Qin Wen's command were only the [-] defenders of the original Hulao Pass, and the [-] cavalry directly under the headquarters, totaling more than [-], and the rest [-]. The army is in the hands of the other three.

None of the three lieutenants, including Dong Zhuo, were less qualified than Qin Wen. Although Qin Wen had Liu Hong's appointment edict, if he wanted to mobilize the troops under them, he had to obtain their consent, otherwise he would not be able to command at all.

Therefore, although Qin Wen is the head coach, he must pay attention to the influence. For example, the fact that the Yanmen Army does not participate in the defense of the city must not be said from Qin Wen's mouth, otherwise there will be suspicion of using power for personal gain, and his son Qin Hao is Qin Wen's spokesperson. .

Seeing Li Ru slumped, Qin Hao was deeply relieved, and then continued: "Although this time the main focus is on defending the city, it does not mean that we have to defend completely, and the combination of offense and defense can be invincible, so Qin Hao suggested This battle should be a combination of offense and defense.”

After thinking for a while, Ding Yuan smiled and said, "What my nephew said is very true."

"It makes sense, it's really inappropriate to stick to it." Liu Yu nodded.

Under Qin Hao's delusion, Liu Yu and Ding Yuan couldn't help nodding secretly, only Dong Zhuo frowned secretly, thinking to himself what the hell Qin Hao was up to.

"Now there are [-] cavalry in Hulao Pass. The Yellow Turban cavalry is the largest number, but there is absolutely no elite cavalry, so the cavalry is our army's weapon of victory."

When Liu Yu and Ding Yuan heard Qin Hao's words, their eyes lit up, and they secretly thought about the feasibility of their best friend's cavalry winning the battle, and found that it was very likely.

If you can kill all the cavalry of the Yellow Turbans and the millions of Yellow Turban infantry, why should you be afraid?
Dong Zhuo frowned and had a bad premonition in his heart. He always felt that Qin Hao's words sounded nice, but he was actually trying to beat his cavalry.

"Now [-] cavalrymen belong to different camps, and it is very inconvenient to dispatch. For the convenience of dispatching, Qin Hao hopes that your adults can temporarily hand over the command of the cavalry under your command to Qin Hao."

Dong Zhuo was very angry when he heard it. The cavalry was his lifeblood. Qin Hao had taken his lifeline now, so how could Dong Zhuo not be angry.

Unlike Dong Zhuo's anger, Liu Yu and Ding Yuan were very indifferent. Both of them were loyal to the Han Dynasty, so in their opinion, as long as they could defeat Jin, all military powers were not unacceptable.

"Father commander and all the adults will lead the [-]-strong army inside to lead the defense, while Qin Hao will lead the [-] cavalry outside to lead the attack. The separation of offense and defense can ensure that the Hulao Pass will not be lost."

What Qin Hao said of 'outside' did not mean that [-] cavalrymen should be stationed outside Hulao Pass, but separated the cavalry from the army, just to facilitate unified dispatch.

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard Qin Hao's request for the command of the cavalry, he subconsciously wanted to do the opposite, but at this time Jia Xu came close to his ear.

After Jia Xu whispered a few words in Dong Zhuo's ear, Dong Zhuo immediately changed his mind and said with a smile: "My nephew is right, I will send Hua Xiong, the general of Hedong, to lead all the cavalry under my command to help my nephew, look at this okay?"

Qin Hao took a deep look at Dong Zhuo and said with a smile, "Master Dong knows righteousness, and Qin Hao admires it."

Qin Hao didn't know about Dong Zhuo's careful thinking, but he didn't really want to seize his military power. He just used this to beat Dong Zhuo, a tiger in the west, so as to facilitate the command behind his father.
