Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

When Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo, and Han Sui continued to fall into a stalemate in Yunwu City, Xiang Yu's competition plan was in full swing. After some initial doubts, most of the soldiers began to agree. Xiang Yu's plan, and they were gradually inspired by the enthusiasm of mutual challenge and competition.

As soldiers or generals, they are all young and passionate men. They always have a passionate ambition in their hearts and are eager to prove themselves. However, in many cases, because of the traditional military system, many capable soldiers may not have the opportunity. Show their own strength, and the competition plan proposed by Xiang Yu can provide them with such a stage.

In fact, for those capable soldiers, many times it is not entirely because they do not have a stage to show their strength, but whether they can be treated fairly after showing their strength is a very important point. If you have a chance to show yourself as a commander-in-chief who treats all his subordinates equally, then you will definitely work hard in battle in the future, because the honors and achievements you have won will be recognized and rewarded, and if Xiang Yu can't be fair and just, then on the contrary It will have a great adverse effect on the hearts of soldiers.

Xiang Yu set a training time of half a month for everyone, and after the end of the half month, the catching comparison test will begin, and at this time, ten days have passed, and Xiang Yu will personally inspect the various places in the barracks every day, and then communicate with the soldiers During the training together, he will also personally demonstrate some combat skills, impart some combat experience, and help his soldiers grow and improve better.

During this process, many soldiers mustered up the courage to fight Xiang Yu. At the beginning, many people were afraid of Xiang Yu and they did not dare to fight Xiang Yu head-on. So Xiang Yu encouraged them and rewarded those Those who dare to challenge themselves head-on will get generous rewards no matter whether they win or lose.

It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Some soldiers, especially those who surrendered from Beigong Boyu, still wanted to fight Xiang Yu in person, so some of them dared to come out and live with Xiang Yu for a few days. More people will be recruited.

At the beginning, these people were not very relaxed, but soon they found that if they did not come up and tried their best, they would hardly be able to persist in a few face-to-face meetings. Xiang Yu's moves seemed very simple, but they were also extremely Efficient, not many sloppy parts, a lot of seemingly ordinary movements, you may just be overwhelmed.

After easily defeating these challengers, Xiang Yu will patiently explain to them some of the mistakes they often make in battle. It can be said that he is very patient and meticulous. It is hard to imagine that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu in his previous life, could be so patient and meticulous. Seeing that Xiang Yu is so approachable as the commander-in-chief, this has greatly shortened the distance between Xiang Yu and these soldiers, and thus greatly improved these people's recognition of Xiang Yu Degree and loyalty, so this is actually a very good way, which not only greatly improved the enthusiasm of the soldiers to strive to improve their actual situation, but also united the whole family under Xiang Yu's command.

On the other hand, Xiang Yu is always paying attention to the changes in the situation. There are still many places in the area west of Wuwei that are controlled by the rebels, but because Han Sui was besieged in Yunwu City, Beigong Boyu was captured by Xiang Yu. Killed, Bian Zhang was captured and sent to the Eastern Han court to wait for the emperor to deal with it. It is estimated that the final end will not be too good.

The entire rebel army had no leader, so they split into several different small camps. The four counties in the Hexi Corridor, the easternmost is Wuwei County, then Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and the westernmost is Dunhuang County. Yumenguan and Yangguan all the way to Wuwei, where Xiang Yu is located at this time, have a total length of more than 1000 kilometers. It is connected to the Mongolian Plateau in the north, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the south, and runs through the Loess Plateau and the Pamirs in the east. It is a very, very important transportation hub connecting the Quartet. .

Of course, this place can also be called the place of the Fourth World War, where many forces will come to rob it. The Shiyang River and the Shiyang River oasis formed by the Shiyang River passing through two major desert areas, and further west are the Dongda River, Xida River and Heihe River, and the Qilian Mountains in the south also have abundant river water sources, which makes the Hexi Corridor The climatic conditions are very suitable for pasture growth, thus becoming a high-quality natural pasture.

After occupying Wuwei, Xiang Yu can also replenish high-quality war horses here. War horses can be regarded as consumables in a state of continuous war. It is difficult to replenish them in a short period of time. How much less, but there are many top-level horses domesticated in a high-quality horse farm like Wuwei. The number of them is large enough to withstand the consumption of war to a certain extent. The subsequent continuous replenishment of horses is also much faster than other places. .

Of course, the first problem that Xiang Yu needs to solve now is not the logistical supplies of the horses, but the logistical supplies of the soldiers under him. He had to find a better food supply channel, otherwise it would be very difficult for him to maintain the size of the army under his command. To put it bluntly, he had to use war to support war, otherwise he would not be able to and would not need to maintain so many standing troops.

The reason why the Qiang people will continue to rebel, the northern Huns will continue to invade the south, and the southern Huns will succumb to the Eastern Han Dynasty. In fact, the important reason is the change of the entire climate and environment after the Eastern Han Dynasty. With the arrival of the Little Ice Age, the high altitudes in the north and southwest The temperature in the region is getting colder, many places are completely covered by ice and snow all year round, and the grasslands are constantly shrinking. The already difficult living environment of the nomads will become more and more harsh. If there is no living space, then there is only a dead end waiting for them.

At this time, Xiang Yu also had to face this serious problem, which meant that he could not focus all his offensive and expansion efforts on the westward direction, but also needed to lead the rebels to attack the Guanzhong area like Han Sui. The Guanzhong area is fertile and wild, even if the climate becomes slightly colder, there is still a more sufficient food supply than other places.

During this period of time, Xiang Yu also had to face and face this problem directly. He originally wanted to lead his army to fight all the way to the Western Regions, but now it seems that the situation may not give him too much room for choice.
