Chapter 381 Where do supplies come from [Please subscribe*Please vote]

Li Mu sent Sima Shang here to assist Yan Yan in his actions. After all, only Li Mu and Sima Shang knew the abilities of the camp captains at Yanmen Pass best.

What kind of generals are needed for what kind of battlefields, and what kind of people can complete what kind of tasks? These are all things the commander must consider.

And Sima Shang undoubtedly knows how to cooperate with the main general, and he is the same type of excellent deputy general candidate as Yang Duanhe.

It wasn't until Yan Yan finished giving all the orders that Sima Shang raised his doubts.

With such huge computing power, how could Yan Yan complete it just by relying on mental arithmetic?
"This kind of battlefield command will test the computing power of the general and the shogunate. If there is a mathematician or a digital mathematician, everyone can imitate it, but more often it relies on experience and muscle memory!" Yan Yan did not hide it.

Ultra-long-range, cross-horizon remote command requires huge calculations, but if there are any top-level calculations in the shogunate, everyone can simulate them.

But more often than not, if the general is experienced enough, he can actually tell the arrival time of each battalion and army at a glance, and there is no need to recalculate.

For example, Yan Yan could tell at a glance when and where the Yulin Guards would move, without the need to calculate.

Sima Shang also suddenly realized that he could understand such a simple truth, but he didn't react for a while.

Therefore, when he received Yan Yan's invitation to send troops, King Xi of Yan immediately summoned all officials of the Yan Kingdom for discussion.

"Brother Wang is willing to go north to lead the troops!" Yan Chunjun did not back down and volunteered.

"Believe in Mr. Yan Chun!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

King Yan actually wanted to belong to Yan Chunjun. After all, only Yan Chunjun in the entire Yan Kingdom had contact with Yan Yan, and he could better cooperate with Bingzhou's military operations.

In this regard, Yan Wangxi was much more decisive than Zhao Wangqian.

The truth is just as Yan Yan expected. Although King Yan failed many times, he still had the ambition to revive the Yan Kingdom and recreate the rule of King Zhao.

"Will Yan State really cooperate?" Sima Shang was still hesitant.

The only difficulty was how Yan Yan could predict the enemy's movements and direct the army to the battlefield months in advance.

The content of the discussion is not whether to send troops, but who should be sent to lead the army!

The so-called playing with the enemy in the midst of applause may be referring to this kind of command that transcends time and distance. It is completely controlling every move of the enemy in the palm of your hand.

He believed that Yan Chunjun and Yan Wangxi, although the Yan Kingdom had suffered many defeats, their grasp of fighter opportunities was among the best in the world.

This kind of ultra-remote command appears for the first time, but it is not impossible to simulate.

The biggest surprise and the most important part of the entire war situation is actually whether the Yan State will send troops and whether it can contain the Donghu Royal Court headquarters.

There is no way that Yan State would miss this opportunity for an all-out grassland war.

Yan Wangxi, who had experienced two major defeats, also recognized the fact, that is, let professional people do professional things, and it is best for others not to interfere, especially for himself, it is best not to micro-manage personally.

"The last general is willing to go!" Fan Yuqi, who fled during the Tunliu War and was picked up by Tian Guang and sent to Yan State, also took the initiative to speak.

As a defeated general, his situation in Yan State was actually very embarrassing, especially since he was following Yan Dan, but Yan Dan caused such a big incident, which made him a marginalized figure in Yan State. However, Yan State still gave him high courtesy. Although he was not used, he was not treated badly.

In Yan Chunjun's words, it doesn't cost much to raise such a man who knows how to fight. What if he can be used one day?
It wasn't until Fan Yuqi stepped forward that King Xi of Yan and Lord Yan Chun remembered that there was such a man who was good at fighting in the Yan Kingdom.

You must know that Fan Yuqi showed his own style and record at this time.

This was a ruthless man who had resisted Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Wang Ben, Yang Duanhe and other Qin governors for nearly half a year. Although Tunliu was lost in the end, in the end, the fundamental reason for the defeat was that Cheng Xi surrendered and It's not Fan Yuqi's problem.

Therefore, Yan Wangxi and Yan Chunjun have no doubts about Fan Yuqi's ability.

"It's just that what the general is confused about is that Bingjun is going deep into Donghu alone without logistical supplies. How can he persevere?" Fan Yuqi raised his doubts.

The invitation to send troops and the layout of the battle situation were sent back from Danlin, and Yan State had complete details.

The invitation to send troops is to request the Yan State to send 50,000 troops to attack the three cities of Changyang, Gangcheng and Tuhe, help Bingjun's army cut off King Tuhe's return to the Donghu Palace, and at the same time attract the Donghu army southward.

In other words, Yan would personally lead his army deep into the interior of Donghu and go straight to the royal court of Donghu to attack him by surprise.

However, the biggest problem with this plan is where the supplies for Yan Yan's army will come from. After entering Donghu, Yan Yan's army has been away from Yanmen Pass for nearly two thousand miles, and the nearest supply point is Danlin.

And Danlin City did not have enough food and baggage to supply the consumption of the 40,000-strong army.

It's not that Yan Chunjun doesn't know anything about military affairs. It's the law of military strategists to move forward before troops and horses use food and grass. However, after looking through the map, he couldn't find a supply point that could supply Yan Yan's army.

"Supplies?" Not only the Yan State was wondering where Yan Yan's supplies came from, but also the armies of all the countries participating in the war.

Qin did agree to send troops, and the young general Li Xin personally led the Longxi army to send troops to Gaoque fortress to guard the west of Bingzhou to prevent Dayue clan from joining the war and take the opportunity to attack the rear of Bingzhou.

Li Mu at Yanmen Pass was also wondering where Yan Yan would get supplies from.

After all, his original intention of lending troops to Yan Yan was that Yan Yan was just going to cooperate with the main army of Bingzhou to encircle and slaughter King He's headquarters, but he did not expect that Yan Yan would be so bold and actually want to attack the Donghu Royal Court.

Not to mention that they, the generals who knew the layout of the army, could not understand this matter. Even if they sent the information to Donghu Palace, Donghu Palace would think it was false information.

After all, a battle spanning thousands of miles without supplies has never happened before. When Yan Yan leads his army to the palace of Donghu, how much food and supplies will they have, and how long can they last for a long time?

"Replacement?" Li Mu looked at Yan Yan's military orders.

In the early strategy, the Yanmen Pass army was intercepting King Tu He's retreat and supply line, but as the war progressed, the three thousand cavalry of Yu Linwei and Li Ren would be displaced to the rear, and the Yanmen Pass army and the Yan army would also It became the front that blocked King Tu He's attack.

And the Yulin Guards and Three Thousand Cavalry will become the main army under Yan Yan, the army that will actually carry out the plan to kill the king.

"Don't cause trouble in Handan!" Looking at the map of the war, Li Mu was still a little worried.

Because this plan has a high probability of success, the only flaw is that if King Tu He gives up entangled with the army, does not even plan to care about the life and death of the royal court, and goes straight to the Third Prince City, Bingzhou will no longer have an army to stop him.
