Great Military Division

Chapter 241 The strategic concept of the new cavalry!Dragons, tigers, leopards and wolves, each with its own characteristics!
On the way to Shan County.

A team is meandering slowly.

Dong Zhuo was sitting on the horse, his thick eyebrows were frowned, and he fell into deep thought: "Wen You, why don't you say that King Hongnong didn't come to chase me, instead he encircled and suppressed Fengxian and the others?"

"This"

How dare Li Ru draw conclusions easily.

He thought for a moment, and could only give a rough answer: "It's hard for Ru to understand this decision, but Prime Minister, Ru thinks that King Hongnong's move is very wise, otherwise he will be caught in a dilemma."

Dong Zhuo originally sent Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si to Luoyang, but he wanted to harass him from the rear when King Hongnong was chasing him, so as to relieve the pressure on him.

but never thought
King Hongnong didn't play his cards according to common sense at all, he actually abandoned Dong Zhuo and concentrated all his troops to encircle and suppress Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si in the direction of Luoyang, without even sending out a small team.

In Dong Zhuo's self-battle deduction, no matter how conservative King Hongnong is, he should have kept most of his infantry in Luoyang to deal with Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si, and sent Zhang Liao to lead the fine cavalry to chase and kill him thousands of miles away.

In this way, both sides have a balance. They can not only chase and kill themselves, but also encircle and suppress wolf cavalry and Xiao cavalry without delay. This is the most correct strategy to defend against the enemy.

"You have a point in saying that."

"but."

Dong Zhuo didn't know anything about court affairs, and would always ask Li Ru for opinions.

However, Dong Zhuo has his own understanding of what happened on the battlefield, and Li Ru's opinion is at best a reference: "I always feel that King Hongnong's actions must have deep meaning."

"Deep meaning?"

Li Ru frowned in thought, and shook his head, expressing that it was hard to understand King Hongnong's excessive caution: "For King Hongnong, the most urgent task is to kill the prime minister and return to the palace."

"Confucius thinks that King Hongnong just wants to fight steadily. After all, King Hongnong has accumulated a lot of advantages in Guangcheng Pass and Dagu Pass. It is human nature to seek stability under the advantages."

"only."

Although Li Ru has his own judgment, he also has his own doubts about this judgment: "King Hongnong's strategy of seeking stability is a bit too stable, and he didn't send any troops."

"Unbelievable!"

"It's really incredible!"

Li Ru thought he was extremely intelligent, but it was still difficult to understand King Hongnong's strategy.

In fact, this does not mean that Li Ru is not smart, but that as a person of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Ru's vision was limited by the times, and he had a certain narrowness, so he did not understand King Hongnong's fear of the family.

In the eyes of Li Ru and others, the existence of an aristocratic family is very normal, even what they yearn for, and it is also normal for the emperor to rely on them.

As for attacking the family?
Under such an era background, unless the aristocratic family committed a serious crime against the Yi tribe, they would never do it lightly.

In this way, how could Li Ru expect that King Hongnong would be afraid of the Yuan family's power.

In Li Ru's instinctive thinking, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and the former officials of the Yuan family should be the most important objects that King Hongnong should win over and win over. After all, in the public's eyes, the Yuan family is a famous and loyal minister.

"Yes!"

Dong Zhuo was also puzzled by this: "This is indeed a bit unbelievable."

"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a long sound of announcement from behind.

Dong Zhuo set his horse and turned his head to look.

But I saw that riding Juechen came, it was his own scout flying forward: "Prime Minister, urgent report to Mianchi."

"Mianchi?"

Dong Zhuo keenly sensed a hint of danger, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

The scout bowed his body and cupped his hands: "General Dong urgently reported that [-] soldiers and horses were killed from the direction of Luoyang, asking for reinforcements."

"How many?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned, dumbfounded: "Fifty thousand?"

The scout nodded: "That's right."

hiss-!
Dong Zhuo gasped, his scalp felt numb and his back felt cold: "King Hongnong really is. If you don't make a move, it's amazing. If you make a move, it's amazing. The [-] army is probably all the soldiers and horses in the direction of Luoyang?"

"No!"

Before the scouts could speak, Li Ru suddenly realized: "Prime Minister, King Hongnong should be waiting for the princes in the direction of Yanjin and Hanoi. If Ru's guess is correct, King Hongnong will destroy Lu Bu and Li Jue first, and then follow the ancient road of Yaohan. attack."

In the beginning, in order to prevent King Hongnong from chasing and killing, Dong Zhuo ordered people to set up defenses along the Yaohan Ancient Road. From Xin'an, Mianchi, Shanxian County, and Huayin, all of them had their own soldiers and horses stationed.

It is clear!
It's an uphill battle.

It is very difficult to defeat King Hongnong based on his current strength alone.

Dong Zhuo nodded slowly, and said deeply, "Wen You means that King Hongnong entered Luoyang with Yuan Shao and others, and then divided into two groups to take Mianchi directly?"

"Naturally!"

Li Ru nodded very positively: "Prime Minister, Yuan Shao has been defeated one after another. He urgently needs to win to prove his ability. Only in this way can he stabilize his position."

"If Confucianism's guess is correct, most of the [-] soldiers and horses are composed of Yuan's protégés and old officials, and the one stationed in Luoyang to guard against Lu Bu and Li Jue's sneak attacks must be King Hongnong himself."

"Prime Minister."

Li Ruyi bowed and said solemnly: "Mianchi must not be lost, otherwise it will definitely affect the morale of Shan County, and even Huayin and Chang'an. The Prime Minister sent troops to help Mianchi. We will speed up and go straight to Shan County."

Mianchi, Shanxian, Hanguguan, Huayin!
They are on a defensive chain.

If one is broken, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, which is common sense.

Dong Zhuo naturally understood this, and immediately ordered: "Wen You."

Li Ru bowed his head: "Yes."

"Quickly send an order to Fan Chou to lead the army and horses of the headquarters to rush to the aid of Dong Yue. There must be no mistakes."

"promise."

******
Luoyang.

Allied camp.

Central Army, big tent.

Liu Bian held the battle report compiled by Xun Yu, and after reading it carefully, he couldn't help being shocked: "We captured more than [-] horses in this battle. If we add what we captured before, it will be almost [-] horses."

"Crazy money!"

Liu Bian had an unbelievable expression on his face, and thought to himself: "Teacher, we have so many war horses. Apart from raising the cost, does the expert have any other plans?"

The voice of the military division alliance followed: "Of course! According to the current plan of the experts, we plan to divide the cavalry into four types of cavalry according to their functions."

"Four?"

Liu Bian was surprised: "A cavalry is a cavalry, how can there be four more?"

The military division alliance explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Bian, you should have heard of tiger and leopard cavalry, right? It is a cavalry unit established by Cao Cao, and it is led by General Cao."

Liu Bian thought: "I have an impression, it seems to be very powerful."

"kindness."

The military division alliance continued: "It is very powerful. Strictly speaking, this army can be called a special force in the cavalry world, and its combat effectiveness is by no means inferior to Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness."

"The "Three Kingdoms · Book of Wei" records: (Cao) Chun supervised the tiger and leopard cavalry, all of them are the best in the world, or they can be supplemented by a hundred generals! Whether it is the selection of soldiers or equipment, the tiger and leopard cavalry is an absolute elite force. "

"According to the unearthed leopard cavalry Sima seal, experts speculate that the tiger and leopard cavalry should be divided into tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry according to their functions. Two cavalry units, the tiger cavalry is heavy cavalry, responsible for charge; Responsible for the hunt."

Tiger riding?

Leopard ride?

Heavy cavalry!
Hussar!
Liu Bian chewed it with great interest: "Hey, let's not talk about it, it does have that kind of meaning, which is quite in line with the characteristics of tigers and leopards. The advantage of leopards is speed, which is suitable for chasing and killing; the advantage of tigers is bravery. Suitable for frontal toughness."

"kindness."

Liu Bian subconsciously nodded.

He is becoming more and more interested in the divisional alliance and the planning of the cavalry: "Teacher, how do experts plan to divide our cavalry?"

The military division alliance said: "It is divided into tiger cavalry, leopard cavalry, wolf cavalry, and dragon cavalry."

Liu Bian was surprised: "Dragon Knight?"

The Alliance of Military Advisors said affirmatively: "Well, the dragon cavalry is the cavalry directly under Lord Bian. In the future, it will be subordinate to the guards, the emperor's guards and forbidden soldiers. This has the same meaning as the military guard army composed of elite tiger and leopard cavalry."

"In addition, tiger cavalry are heavy cavalry. Both men and horses are equipped with armor and shields with good protection performance. The weapons are mainly spears. They are famous for their powerful impact and excellent defense."

"The leopard cavalry is light cavalry, that is, light cavalry. It has good combat skills and can fight independently or cooperate with other arms. It is famous for its strong mobility, flexible combat, and excellent ability to change clothes."

"As for wolf riding."

The leader of the military division alliance said out of breath: "Naturally, we want to simulate the battle of wolves. Even if this team invades Xianbei and Wuhuan, it will still have a very large combat effectiveness."

Liu Bian naturally thought of Lu Bu: "Is it a tactic like Lu Bu's? A tactic that emphasizes personal force?"

The military division alliance explained: "This is just one of them! The wolf pack has a very strict hierarchy, such as the head wolf, the secondary wolf, the sub-secondary wolf, etc., and the hunting methods are also varied."

"Lv Bu's tactics of strong personal force, for wolves fighting, are equivalent to the strategy and tactics around the head wolf, which does not bring out the fighting power of the wolves at all."

"Actually!"

The military division alliance emphasized: "Only in terms of establishment, the leopard cavalry has the least strength and the highest cost; the tiger cavalry has moderate strength and the same cost, mainly focusing on equipment; the wolf cavalry is the most powerful cavalry with the least cost. .”

"what?"

Liu Bian was slightly shocked and puzzled: "The cost of light cavalry is actually higher than that of heavy cavalry? How is this possible!"

The Army Division Alliance explained: "How impossible! The key depends on what kind of light cavalry you want. At present, the cavalry in the late Han Dynasty, whether it is Xiliang Xiaoqi or Bingzhou wolf cavalry, all belong to light cavalry. The cost is very low, but it is by no means Experts want it."

"The expert's goal is to build the Leopard Cavalry into the standard of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry. This not only has super high requirements for soldiers, but also has higher requirements for war horses."

"The cost of heavy cavalry is mainly concentrated in equipment and horses, but they only require load-bearing capacity. However, the cost of riding Yanyun Shiba on a horse is based on multiple standards such as speed and endurance, which are the requirements of a true BMW."

"okay."

The Military Division Alliance didn't bother to explain: "It's useless to talk too much now. After the experts have sorted out all the requirements of the various cavalry, you will understand, Mr. Bian."

Liu Bian sighed: "Well, well, the experts have worked hard."

The Army Division Alliance continued: "The combat methods of tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry are relatively simple. On the contrary, wolf cavalry has the most combat methods and the most complete functions. They will be the absolute main force in the future battlefield, especially in stalemate situations. in this way."

"This"

Liu Bian really didn't expect it.

The experts of the Military Advisory Alliance expected wolf cavalry to be more important than tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry.

Although experts' explanations for the four types of cavalry are still not very deep, Liu Bian can feel the professionalism of these four teams from his description.

Compared with the cavalry combat in the late Han Dynasty, it is indeed more professional and systematic, if it is supplemented with weapons that surpass the times.

Incredible!

How strong would such a cavalry team be in combat?
I'm afraid, even if you meet Baima Yicong, or even Xiliang Xiaoqi who is equipped with the three treasures of equestrianism, you can still hang him!

When Liu Bian was longing for this infinitely.

suddenly.

Transferred to Xun Yu from outside the account, and hurried forward: "Your Highness, the young general has been found."

Liu Bian suddenly remembered the young general who turned the tide: "But the man who killed Guo Si at the bridge?"

Xun Yu nodded: "That's right, it's this person."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian became interested: "Who is he under? What is his official position?"

Xun Yu bowed his head, "This man's name is Chen Dao, he is under the tent of Runan County, and he has been promoted to the team leader in an exceptional way."

"Team rate?"

Liu Bian couldn't believe it, the stalwart who could kill Guo Bang was actually just a team leader?
However, at this moment, the originally silent live broadcast room suddenly boiled up:
"Fuck! Did I hear correctly? It's Chen Dao?"

"Chen Dao is indeed from Runan, but he should be a baby now, right?"

"This nima, the commander of the elite soldiers of the white scorpion, unexpectedly appeared just like this?"

"Chen Dao is the prototype of Zhao Yun in the novel!"

"Master Bian has made a lot of money this time."

"Brilliant!"

"."

Liu Bian was concerned about his military position.

But I never thought that the netizens in the live broadcast room were paying attention to the characters!
Liu Bian couldn't help being curious, and thought: "Teacher, this guy named Chen Dao, is he still a character?"

The voice of the military division alliance immediately sounded: "This person is Liu Bei's personal guard, and the soldiers and horses he leads are called the elite soldiers of Baimu. They are the absolute elite under Liu Bei's tent."

"Historically, when Liu Bei was defeated from Xinye, Cao Cao led the Tiger and Leopard Riders to pursue him. If it wasn't for Chen Dao and others to protect him, Liu Bei would have died in the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Riders."

"so"

The Military Division Alliance was also a little surprised, as if they hadn't expected to blow up a fierce general: "You should know how powerful he is, right?"

hiss-!
Liu Bian was slightly surprised: "He is so powerful, there is no record in the romance?"

Military division alliance: "Yes! It's just in the later stage. The existence of this guard level usually rarely shows up. It's not like Zhou Tai, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei. They have many roles and are impressive."

"Or it should be said that the Zhao Yun in Master Bian's mind is not only Zhao Yun, but also the combination of Zhao Yun and Chen Dao in history. In a sense, Zhao Yun stole Chen Dao's role."

"If you explain it this way, Master Bian can understand?"

Liu Bian let out a long breath, his heart was horrified: "Understood."

Xun Yu only said that Liu Bian was amazed by this person's official position, but he didn't have any doubts: "Your Highness, this person is a soldier Xu Qi recruited in Runan. He was just a small soldier at first, but now he has been promoted to the rank of the team. It can be said that he has been promoted to three ranks. "

Promoted to the third rank?

Ha ha!

Even if it is promoted to the fourth or fifth level, it is not an exaggeration at all.

Sensing the disdain on King Hongnong's face, Xun Yu explained again: "Your Highness, Governor Xu's arrangement is also based on the overall situation of the army, not to mention that he is only 16 years old now."

"It is already a great grace to break the rules and promote the team rate based on just one battle. If you make more achievements in the future, you can continue to be promoted, and you may even become a school lieutenant."

call-

Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief, and no longer entangled in the official position: "Have Wen Ruo ever inquired about this person's background?"

Xun Yu nodded as expected: "I have already inquired about it! This person is from a branch of the Chen family in Runan, and his brother-in-law Xu Chang (chǎng) is the military commander under Li Quan's account."

"I heard that this kid fought with Xu Chang privately, because Guo Si hacked his brother-in-law, so he jumped out to avenge him. It turned out to be a good thing, not only killed Guo Si, but Li Jue also died at his hands."

"Fight privately?"

Liu Bian was slightly surprised, with an expression of disbelief: "How can this be? You don't even know what soldiers you have under your command?"

Xun Yu was very calm: "It's normal that we were temporarily recruited and failed to register."

The voice of the Military Division Alliance also sounded: "Don't be shocked, Master Bian. The conditions in ancient times were no better than in modern times. The soldiers at the bottom are more cannon fodder. After a battle, it is not certain how long they can survive."

"It is recorded in "Three Kingdoms · Wu Shu · Lu Meng Biography": When Lu Meng made his debut, he also privately accompanied his brother-in-law Deng Dang to fight. Later, Deng Dang found out that he had no way to persuade him to quit, so he could only hand it over to his mother."

"However, Lu Meng said: 'It's hard to live in the poor and lowly. If you get rid of mistakes and make achievements, you can get rich. If you don't go to the tiger's den, you will get a tiger's cub?' After hearing this, Lu's mother took pity on him and forgave him."

Liu Bian could only laugh.

did not expect!
Guo Si slashed a soy sauce, and actually blasted me into a fierce future.

Liu Bian's thoughts immediately became active: "Teacher, can we incorporate Xu Jiao's team? Currently Yuan Shu is the governor of Yuzhou, and with the support of the Yuan family in Runan, Xu Jiao's road should almost be blocked, right? "

"This"

Then the voice of the military division alliance sounded: "Master Bian, don't worry, we don't know whether Xu Wei has the intention of abandoning his official position and surrendering, let alone let him bring his troops and horses to surrender."

"However, after Xu Yan refused to follow Yuan Shu and other princes, and marched westward together to defeat Dong Zhuo, in a sense, he has entered Yuan Shu's blacklist. He cannot be clear about this."

"so!"

The Military Division Alliance finally gave an opinion: "What the experts mean is that Master Bian can try to actively solicit and probe Xu Qiu's tone. If he is willing, it is naturally the best. If he is still hesitant, then he should state his interests and let him Consider."

"The vast majority of experts in the alliance feel that since Xu Yan decided to stay, he has actually made a choice. His final choice is Master Bian, not Yuan Shu."

Liu Bian nodded with great interest: "Okay, I understand."

"Your Highness?"

At this moment, Xun Yu once again found Liu Bian stunned.

Sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding, sometimes surprised, sometimes stunned.

Various expressions kept changing, Xun Yu couldn't figure it out.

"Oh it's all right."

Liu Bian was already used to this, he waved his hands and got up and said, "Let's go, accompany Gu to Xu Jiao's camp, the battle here is over, we will return to Nanyang sooner or later, since he has come to his senses, Gu should give him a chance."

Xun Yu bowed his head: "Your Highness is wise, and this subordinate has exactly the intention!"

"Oh?"

Liu Bian recognized the meaning of Xun Yu's words: "Wen Ruo, did you hear anything?"

Xun Yu nodded with a smile on his face: "To tell you the truth, my subordinate has tested Xu Yan's tone. He is very worried about his current situation, and he also respects you, Your Highness."

"I thought"

Xun Yu said with great certainty, "Your Highness will certainly be able to recruit Xu Qiu during this personal visit."

Being told by the experts again, Liu Bian was in a good mood: "Wen Ruo thinks that Xu Que might take away the soldiers and horses in his hands?"

Xun Yu smiled lightly: "Your Highness is worried about Chen Dao?"

"kindness."

Liu Bian didn't hide anything, and nodded: "Nothing can be hidden from you."

Xun Yu said softly: "According to what I understand, although Chen Dao came from a branch of the Chen family in Runan, his family has fallen and he is dependent on his mother. If His Highness starts with his mother and recruits Chen Dao, it will be much easier."

"So Easy?"

Liu Bian couldn't believe it.

"kindness."

Xun Yu responded: "If His Highness agrees, and promise him land, house, money, etc., Yu can send people to Runan, take him to Nanyang County, and hand him over to Tang County Sheriff for resettlement."

"Of course, if Xu Wei is willing to submit to His Highness, then it would be best to leave this matter to him. After all, Xu Wei is the governor of Runan County, and Chen's mother will be closer."

Liu Bian waved his hand: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go."

"Zhu Tong!"

"exist."

"Prepare your horse quickly, I'm going to Xu Camp in Mang Mountain."

"promise."

Out of the tent.

The guards have already prepared their horses.

Liu Bian stepped onto Chiji, and together with Xun Yu, they headed straight for Xu Qiu's camp.

When Xu Wei heard the news, he rushed out of the camp to greet him: "Xu Wei, the prefect of Runan, see Your Highness."

Liu Bian took the initiative to step forward to help: "Mr. Xu please get up quickly."

Only then did Xu Yan get up: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Let's go."

Liu Bian smiled and was very friendly: "How about we record it in the account?"

Xu Yan cupped his hands: "I'm sure of what I want, but I dare not ask you."

"Please!"

At present, Liu Bian went first, followed by Xun Yu and Xu Qiu.

into the account.

Liu Bian himself sat on the head, while Xu Qi and Xun Yu fell down.

A few simple greetings.

Immediately.

Liu Bian went straight to the point: "Meng Yu, you didn't follow Yuan Shu to the west to ask for Dong this time. You were very lonely. I knew your talent well. This time I took the initiative to come here. In addition to commending your contribution to the defense of the North Gate, There's still one thing."

Expectation flickered in Xu Yan's eyebrows, and he saluted: "What's your Highness, no matter what you say, Xu will respect you."

Hearing this, Liu Bian felt more at ease: "Since that's the case, then Gu will tell you the truth! Gu wants you to resign from the post of Runan prefect, and go back to Nanyang with Gu. When Gu returns to the palace, I will conscript you as a court lieutenant." .”

"I don't know how you feel?"

Historically, after Emperor Han returned to Xu, he conscripted Xu Wei as a court captain, but he was robbed by Yuan Shu halfway and awarded the title of Duke. Although Xu Jiao refused, he was forcibly detained for four years.

It wasn't until Yuan Shu's death that the army was broken, and his remnant forces had no ambitions to fight for hegemony. Xu Yan was able to escape, took the imperial seal stolen by Yuan Shu, returned to Xuchang, and handed it over to the emperor.

"Huh? This"

Xu Yan was astonished, and his eyes were full of horror: "I am satisfied to be able to submit to Your Highness, how dare I be greedy for power, the position of Jiuqing is too important, how can I be competent."

"Meng Yu!"

Liu Bian was serious, and he didn't mean to be joking at all: "You don't think that you just want to use the position of Tingwei to win you over?"

Xu Wei was slightly surprised, and tentatively asked: "Isn't it?"

"of course not!"

Liu Bian denied it without hesitation, and said solemnly: "Gu was decided after careful consideration! How can you hide from Gu the feat you did when you served as governor of Jingzhou?"

"The position of Tingwei must be upright, not afraid of the powerful, fair and just. Guzheng needs talents like Meng Yu to rectify the unhealthy tendencies in Nanyang."

Considering the power of the Kong family and their network of connections in Nanyang, Liu Bian had to scale up his moves in order to truly suppress the Nanyang gentry. There is no doubt that Xu Wei is this sharp sword, and it is Liu Bian's big move .

As for the madman Yu Fan.
After all, he was still a little young, and it was difficult to hold back the scene, but he cooperated with Xu Yan, and this depth charge would definitely make Nanyang tremble.

Xu Yan felt relieved, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "I would like to obey the king's order."

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "It would be the best if you can bring the team to Nanyang. If not, you must bring Chen Dao. He is extremely filial, and you can start with his mother. You will never be stingy with your fields and houses."

Xu Yu agreed: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will live up to my expectations."

　Thank you [yu water cooling] for the reward of 1500 coins!
