Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 1841 The Great War in the Central Plains
The forces of Liu Bei and Dou Jiande have now aimed at Chi You's direction, and after Zhao Kuangyin saw that their allies were in place, he himself was not to be outdone, and sent troops to the Central Plains in three ways.

The first line is the partial division, with the general Zhao She as the main general, Chen Baxian and Wu Mingche as the deputy generals, Miao Xun and Lou Huan as counselors, and the generals Xia Geng, Jing Si, Jing Hanru, Tian Zhongjin, Tan Yanmei, Jing Xin and Jing Gui , Gao Huailiang, Huyan Yunfei, and He Chang were generals, leading thirty thousand troops to attack Langya.

Although Zhao Kuangyin is the strongest among the three princes of the Central Plains, in fact not the whole of Xuzhou is completely under his control.In other words, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't have a complete state under his command, he only has half of Yuzhou, and even Xuzhou is still one county short.

At the beginning, Xuzhou was indeed completely under Zhao Kuangyin's control, but later Chi You took advantage of the chaos to take down Langya Kingdom. Later, although Zhao Kuangyin also tried to regain it, he only got back a small part, and did not completely control it. Bring them back.

Zhao Kuangyin has always been brooding about this matter.

Therefore, although the first soldiers and horses sent by Zhao Kuangyin were only part of the way, they were sent first by him, which shows that Zhao Kuangyin attaches great importance to them.

Although Zhao She's performance in chasing and killing Huo Qubing was not satisfactory, he was still run away by Huo Qubing in the end.However, there are only a few of the Zhao clan who can fight, and they should be reused when they should be reused.

The second group of soldiers and horses is led by general Tian Dan as the main general, Sun Bin as the military adviser, Bi Zaiyu and Zhao Sheng as the lieutenants, Sun Luzhen, Tu Anyi, Pi Chen, Pi Han, Pi Shu, Pan Mei, Gao Huaide, Yao Bao, Yao Lin, Yao Si . Runan, Yingchuan line.

Among the three states in the Central Plains, the situation in Yuzhou was the most complicated. Zhao Kuangyin only occupied half of the territory, and the remaining half was occupied by Cao Cao, Chi You, and even Zhu Yuanzhang.It can be said that this place is completely in a state of four points.

Especially in Runan, the southern half was controlled by Zhao Kuangyin, and the northern half was controlled by Cao Cao.

The third army was Zhao Kuangyin himself, with Zhao Pu as the military adviser, Sun Kuang, Tian Yu, Tian Rangju, Suiqiu, Zhao Bifang, Xia Luqi, Wang Junke, Xie Yingdeng, Zhantian, Zhandi, Zhanren, Zhannan, Zhan Bei, Shi Shouxin, Xie Ai, Zhang Shi, Zhang Mao, and Suo Bao were generals.

Zhao Kuangyin personally attacked, all the way along the direction of Chen Guo to attack north, approaching Chenliu, Cao Cao's important place in Yanzhou.

It can be clearly seen that Zhao Kuangyin basically adopted Yi Yin's strategy, letting Liu Bei and Dou Jiande deal with Chi You, while Zhao Kuangyin tried his best to annex Cao Cao.Although Zhao Kuangyin also sent a group of soldiers to Chi You, but what he did was only for the territory that was less than one county.

Most of Zhao Kuangyin's power was used by him to deal with Cao Cao.This time, Zhao Kuangyin sent troops with the attitude of annexing Cao Cao.

Luoyang.

Today's palace has changed its owner, Li Xiang is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair.

"Now that spring is about to start, Yuanmeng is about to launch another wave of offensive! Su Dingfang can't support Su Dingfang alone, I am determined to send troops to support Su Dingfang, how do all the lovers think about sending troops!" Li Xiang put down Su Dingfang's call for help.

Li Xiang didn't ask everyone whether they should send troops, obviously he had already decided in his heart, but directly asked how many people should send troops!

The reason why troops were not dispatched at the very beginning of a few months was that on the one hand, at that time, Jin soldiers from all over the country had already gone through a series of battles, and many soldiers and horses returned to Sijing after the Battle of Conquering Shu. The war of time, in addition to causing them heavy losses, they are also exhausted, and the necessary rest is a must.

Secondly, at that time, Li Xiang's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor was the top priority, and the rest could be relied on.

Thirdly, at that time, winter had gradually begun, even if Yuan Meng would not give up the offensive, the offensive would definitely be weakened a lot.By now, winter will pass and spring will come soon. This is the time when the battle is about to become fierce again.

It was not until this time that Su Dingfang's request for reinforcements was delivered again.

"Your Majesty, I thought that we should send [-] troops, but the [-] soldiers and horses are all cavalry!" Guan Zhong said after a calculation.

The situation in the Western Regions is not optimistic. All Su Dingfang can do is to hold onto the territory of the Western Regions in the hands of Yuan Meng. I'm powerless!
On the one hand, except for the reason that the Jin army conquered Shu before, the investment in Su Dingfang was limited, which made Su Dingfang hard to beat with two fists, and all the opponents were not mediocre.

One of the most important reasons after that was that Su Dingfang's cavalry strength was seriously insufficient, which made him lack the ability to take the initiative to attack.

There are many deserts in Xizhou, and the original 36 small countries in the Western Regions were mostly built on some oases. After the establishment of Xizhou, the Jin army is of course impossible to change the natural environment of others. If a large number of infantry fight back and forth, it will be a test for logistics. huge.This test is not the quantity of grain and grass, but the problem of transportation.

In contrast, Yuan Meng's cavalry could quickly move back and forth between the small towns in Xizhou, making Su Dingfang exhausted.

The reason why Guan Zhong was only willing to send 10,000 troops was because too many troops put a huge pressure on the logistics and transportation of the Jin army.The current Xizhou is very reluctant to Su Dingfang to be self-sufficient. If he sends [-]+ infantry reinforcements, he will have to adjust food from the rear and move food and grass across the desert. After all, it will still be troublesome!

Therefore, instead of sending out a large number of infantry, it is better to mobilize a relatively small number of cavalry units. While saving logistical pressure, it can also give Su Dingfang more tactical flexibility, so that when Su Dingfang deals with Yuanmeng, he will not be as strong as the enemy. Passive as before.

"Your Majesty, you may order the soldiers from Bing, He, and Liang states to go north!" Wang Meng also gave his opinion.

To be honest, Liangzhou is not rich, and it is definitely impossible to put the logistical pressure on Liangzhou. In addition, if we have to send food across the desert, and then deploy troops, there must be logistical pressure.Especially when such a war has just ended, the Jin army is not feeling well at this time and needs to recuperate.

However, the soldiers of Bing, He, and Liangzhou states did not need to mobilize too many soldiers and horses to go north. They dispatched more than 2 cavalry on each route. It is much more efficient than directly sending troops to Xizhou.
