Chapter 834: Analysis of Yuan Jun's Friend and Foe
"I spent a year, a lot of money, and allocated you five thousand elites, and you rewarded me like this?" Yuan Shao looked at Lu Xiang, who was tying his hands below, with a look of disgust.
The fleet was very large, and Lu Xiang couldn't beat it, so he could only quickly dock on the north shore of Baima, and then do a good job of shrinking the turtle policy, in the face of this turtle shell, Gan Ning could only temporarily withdraw his troops and return to the water village.
More than 2,000 of the 5,000 people were retained in the end, and many of them were washed away by the Yellow River, and it is estimated that there are no survivors. Jiang Yiqu was captured by the Han army, and LΓΌ Xiang left Mao Kai in charge and came back to plead guilty.
"The last crime will be a capital crime, let the lord ...... it" Lu Xiang knew that no matter what he said at the moment, it was useless. For such a defeat, someone must be responsible.
"My lord." Seeing that Yuan Shao really planned to cut Lu Xiang down, he immediately came out, "Our army has formed a water army, but it has been more than a year, and Cao Jun's water army is a fierce pawn for many years. Aren't we already out? Cao Jun's navy is likely to be formed as a foundation in the Jinfan thieves who are active between Yizhou and Jingzhou. The other party is on the river, and it can be regarded as a great reputation, and even if the combat effectiveness decreases after the expansion of the army, it is stronger than our hastily formed naval army. β
"But we have big ships, bigger ships than theirs!" Yuan Shao was still a little unwilling.
"This, it is estimated that I have to ask specifically, what was the situation at that time......" Frustrated Zhu had no way to defend himself, so he could only let Lu Xiang explain it himself.
"Tell me, what was the situation like at that time!" Yuan Shao regained some composure, and then looked at Lu Xiang.
"Yes!" When Lu Xiang heard this, he immediately told the whole story of the battle.
"A catapult with a longer range than ours, are you sure?" Not to mention the rest, Yuan Shao, the water combat ability of the Han army, also knew that there was no way to compare, but the trebuchet was stronger than his own water army, which really made her pay attention.
"Yes, our trebuchet has no way to throw it over, the opponent's has already hit, the key is that the speed of repeated attacks is also very fast, when we shoot two shots, the opponent is about to start shooting the fourth shot!" Lu Xiang hurriedly said.
The firing range is far away and the rate of fire is fast, and the big ship is very aggrieved to be beaten by the opponent so hanging. Hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression was slightly better. The other party is too strong to accept, and another way is to find a way. What she hates the most is that she is not a lady, and she has a problem that leads to the loss of a war, which is what she can't accept.
"............" Yuan Shao was silent for a while, "Well, since it wasn't caused by your command failure, then this defeat is the most unforgivable, but it is excusable...... You are allowed to make meritorious contributions for your crimes, and you must hold your position for me and cover my army to the south, do you understand? β
"Subordinates obey!" Lu Xiang immediately replied, in fact, if he can really live, who would want to die? And among the generals on both sides, there was one person who was also relieved, and that was Lu Xiang's sister Lu Kuang.
When Yuan Shao sent Lu Xiang to serve as a general of the navy, she was actually against it. The younger brother is a landlubber himself, and he has little experience in the water army, which is completely chasing ducks to the shelves.
If you want to say why you chose that, you can only say that she and Lu Xiang are both from Dongping County, Yanzhou, and they are familiar with Yanzhou. Yanzhou will definitely become the first battlefield, so if the generals of the navy are from Yanzhou, at least it is more convenient to know where to land.
Yes, Yuan Shao didn't plan to really defeat Gan Ning at all, but as long as he could safely escort the army south.
As long as Cao Cao is defeated, and then the water village is destroyed, and the blockade is blocked along the way, even if Gan Ning is very capable, it is just a rootless duckweed, and in the end it will either fall or surrender, if not.
Lu Xiang's defeat made her very worried, although the male status was not so high, Lu Xiang was also her only younger brother. The blood relationship was put there, and she naturally didn't want him to be beheaded.
"How are the three-way soldiers and horses ready?" Yuan Shao asked, originally scheduled for three routes of soldiers and horses, naturally it could not be changed casually.
"The eldest prince's 20,000 soldiers and horses are ready to attack Yanzhou and Xuzhou at any time. The 20,000 troops led by Gao Thorn Shi were also ready to go south, and the Southern Xiongnu side had replied and agreed to send 5,000 cavalry south. The 200,000 troops in the headquarters are ready to go south at any time! Xu You came forward to report.
Yuan Tan's side continued to expand the army, with 20,000 soldiers, including 60,000 auxiliary soldiers, known as 100,000 troops; There were also 20,000 soldiers on Gao Gan's side, but 10,000 of them were estimated to be unable to go south, so they joined the Southern Xiongnu and went south together, numbering 50,000 troops.
Yuan Shao's side had an army of 200,000 and 50,000 soldiers, and Yuan Shao almost took out more than eighty percent of his family resources.
"Tell me, the current situation of Cao Jun ......" Yuan Shao felt that it was still not very safe, so he asked. In her case, there is no Han Jun's statement, only Cao Jun. After all, the result of external propaganda is that Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and now the so-called 'court' soldiers and horses are actually Cao Jun.
The problem is that this statement is very skillful, because Yuan Shaoluo listed the generals of each legion, and he would find that the commander of the legion in Yanzhou was Cheng Yu, and Yu Ban was the deputy; On the Xuzhou side, although the corps commander is Liu Bei, the deputy corps commander is Xiahoudun; The commander of the Yangzhou Legion was directly Cao Ren. These are Cao Cao's generals, giving people the feeling that the military power of the imperial court is still in Cao Cao's hands.
The reason why some people still believe this lie is actually because of this. can think deeply, if the imperial court originally had generals who could handle it, then why bother with the support of these generals.
Of course, in recent years, there have also been some generals, who are no longer Cao Cao's generals, such as Xu Sheng, such as He Qi, such as Wang Ling, such as Lu Bu and Liu Bei, as well as the generals under their original command. But public opinion propaganda naturally turns a blind eye to these things.
"First of all, it is worth paying attention to the Yanzhou Legion, which has 20,000 soldiers, 15,000 are the original soldiers, and 5,000 are the Lu Bu troops who have been recruited; The Xuzhou Legion had 15,000 soldiers, 10,000 original soldiers, and 5,000 Lu Bu's troops, led by Lu Lingqi and Zang Ba. It is almost impossible for the Yangzhou Legion to go north to support, it can be ignored that the Yongzhou Legion has 10,000 people, and the commander of the corps is Duan Xuan, and it is Li Dian who is actually in charge. In addition, in Hanoi County, 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed, led by Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang. The Central Army was 10,000, and there were another 5,000 Forbidden Army. In this battle, Cao Cao had already led 10,000 central troops north. Guo Tu came out and introduced to everyone.
"Is there any news from Jiangdong?" Yuan Shao began to weigh that Gao Ganhui and the 15,000 Southern Xiongnu went south, and it would not be a problem to deal with Hanoi County, which had only 5,000 people. Yuan Tan is a little worse, but if he uses the terrain of Qingzhou to fight, he can drag some of the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
If there is a problem in Hanoi, Yongzhou may need to be rescued, but considering the Ma Teng forces in Liangzhou, it is estimated that only 5,000 troops can be sent to support. I can't say it, Yanzhou has to divide its troops over, that is to say, Yanzhou ...... Actually, there is no need to worry!
So the key is Jiangdong's reaction, if Jiangdong goes north, then Yangzhou or even Xuzhou may be contained.
"Sun Quan expressed his willingness to go north!" Every time Ji was listed, this news made everyone feel high.
