The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 350 Military Discussion
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit dull.

This is the first time Xu An has solicited opinions from other generals and schools.

All along, most of the time, Xu An gave orders directly to them, and they carried them out.

Most of the time, Yan Zhong put forward different opinions, and after discussing with Xu An, he formulated a new strategy, and then issued an order for the rest of the generals to implement.

This time Xu An asked a question, but for a while, no one responded.

"There is no need to propose a very specific plan. It can be an idea, an idea, and it can be improved later."

Yan Zhong saw it in his eyes, and after a little thought in his heart, he figured out the key point, so he said.

Sure enough, not long after Yan Zhong finished speaking, Zhang Liao, who was standing not far away, raised his head.

"Minggong."

Zhang Liao bowed his hands and spoke.

"Zhang Ju stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in Feirucheng in Youzhou. I don't know if Zhang Ju can send troops to attack Zhuojun County in Youzhou, forcing the Han army to return to defense. This will buy time for our army to take down Daijun and Shanggu County. ?”

Xu An frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and vetoed: "Now Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun are mainly targeting the west of Liaoning. They are currently gathering troops to prepare for a duel with Gongsun Zan. worry-free rear.”

"So the pressure on the army of Zhuojun is not great. Once Daijun and Shanggu counties are attacked by our army, these two counties will definitely be able to support them in time. Moreover, Jizhou is currently preparing for war. The Jizhou army has a great possibility. A supporting sequence will also be added."

Just as Xu An finished speaking, Yan Zhong, who was standing next to Xu An, spread out the silk fan in his hand, and at the same time echoed.

"Wen Yuan's idea is good, but as Duke Ming said, Zhang Ju's focus is currently on the west of Liaoning, and he has no time to take care of Zhuo County and support our army's actions."

"There is a bigger problem. This problem is that Zhang Ju now regards Youzhou as his own territory, but he can't take into account the two counties of Dai County and Shanggu County for the time being. If our army attacks with strength, they will naturally have no There is something to say."

"But because of this, they will not help us and support our actions. Even if Zhang Ju agrees, we will definitely need to pay a lot of money as compensation."

On the other side of the sand table, Lu Bu looked at the landscape around Junduxing. He hesitated for a while, but finally decided to speak.

"Duke Ming, the last general thinks that our county can first attack the Great Wall area, and then join forces with Shanggu Wuhuan, first let Shanggu Wuhuan enter the southern border, and then use the power of Shanggu Wuhuan to set up a camp outside Xing, the capital of the army, to guard against Zhuo The reinforcements from the Han army in the county."

"Shanggu Wuhuan does not lack cavalry, and our army also has a lot of cavalry. I also have quite a lot of experience in cavalry warfare. If there is a Xiao cavalry battalion, add [-] to [-] Wuhuan cavalry to hold off the enemy on the plains. Fang's reinforcements should not be difficult."

"The Wuhuan people are good at cavalry and archery. The Xiao cavalry battalion has a strong impact and complements each other. If we add some elite tribes, the reinforcements from the capital Xing should have little chance to break through when our army captures Shanggu and Dai counties. the stronghold of our army."

Yan Zhong also followed Lu Bu's gaze to examine the sand table and the terrain next to Junduxing. Hearing Lu Bu's suggestion, he couldn't help but nodded.

"This method has certain feasibility."

"However, there are two fatal problems with this method. One is the supply, and the other is the Han army."

Yan Zhong took the long whip from the side, and moved all the way from Daijun to the position of the military capital Xing.

"The first point is supplies. If our army camps in the military capital Xing, then the supply problem cannot be bypassed. Although there are many cavalry in Wuhuan, they are not very helpful for attacking the city. That is to say, most of the cities , is still in the hands of the Han army."

"Our army has set up camps outside the military capital Xing. The supply line is very long, and this supply line will inevitably be harassed by the Han army."

Lu Bu listened attentively to Yan Zhong's narration. He really didn't think about what Yan Zhong said. He didn't think much about logistics and supplies. He made this opinion from the perspective of being an ordinary cavalry general. to think.

Yan Zhong moved the long whip to a city in Shanggu County, which is closest to the military capital Xing, and continued to speak.

"The second point is the Han army. Let's talk about the Han army in the county first. The camp is set up outside the military capital Xing, which will inevitably lead to the situation of being attacked on both sides. This is inevitable."

"But that's not the point. The point is that in Zhuojun County of Youzhou, there is an imperial army from Luoyang, the Xiyuan Imperial Army, led by Liu Yu. The strength of this imperial army is several times stronger than the average Han army, even It can be said to be the best in the world."

"The Forbidden Army of the West Garden is selected from the elite of the army from all over the country, and its generals and schools are all strong men in the army, so field battles outside the army capital Xing are also extremely unfavorable to our army."

"I have met Liu Yu once. This man is quite brave. He is better than me in both government affairs and military strategy. He cannot be underestimated."

All the generals in the hall looked solemn.

Yan Zhong is the mastermind of the Yellow Turban Army. He helped Xu An formulate a plan to attack Shangdang, Hedong and other places. In the battle of Kuicheng, he commanded the army and mobilized them in an orderly manner. any confusion.

But now Yan Zhong said that Liu Yu was superior to him in both government affairs and military strategy, so why not let everyone treat him with caution.

"Although Feng Xian's strategy has flaws, it also has many merits. It is indeed feasible to attack the Great Wall first and open the gap so that Wuhuan can enter the south of the Great Wall as an aid."

Yan Zhong turned his head to look at Xu An and asked.

"Minggong, what do you think of this strategy?"

Xu An hesitated for a while and said: "Opening the gap and allowing the Wuhuan cavalry to enter the south of the Great Wall is indeed beneficial to our army, but there is a very critical problem that must be resolved, otherwise we can only give up this strategy."

Yan Zhong stood the silk fan on the edge of the sand table, leaned on the silk fan with one hand, thought for a while, and asked: "Ming Gong is worried that after the Wuhuan people enter the country, it will be difficult to restrain them, and they will cause chaos in Dai County and Shanggu County? "

"good."

Xu An nodded, the discipline of the Wuhuan people was not much worse than that of the Huns.

Before Nanlou brought [-] Wuhuan people to support Bingzhou and attack the Xiongnu. Some tribes of the Xiongnu were also slaughtered. Although Tian Zhong was by his side and tried his best to let Nanlou restrain the tribe, the problem was still not completely resolved. question.

This time when attacking the two counties, Xu An's thought was that it would be best not to let the Wuhuan people enter the south of the Great Wall during the war.

After occupying most of the two counties, the Yellow Turban Army had an advantage in the two counties. At this time, even if the Wuhuan people broke through the defense line around the Great Wall, they would not dare to make mistakes with the Yellow Turban Army on the side.
