Chapter 691: Sending troops to Xianbei

Thorn Mansion!

Guo Jia sat in the center, with Xi Zhong Xin Ping sitting on the left, and Gao Shun and Xu Huang sitting on the right.

The two are now the commanders of the Yunzhou horse infantry.

Originally, the cavalry commander was Zhao Yun's, but now it was his wedding day, so Guo Jia did not alarm him.

"What do you think about this?"

Guo Jia coughed and asked.

As a leader, you should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of your subordinates and involve them in the decision-making process.

After a long time, Xi Zhongcai said slowly: "Fuyu and Yunzhou are thousands of miles apart, and if you send troops, the logistics support is very difficult. In terms of value, some of the gains outweigh the losses. ”

In fact, Xi Zhong was against sending troops. But he was smart and didn't say it directly, but listed the disadvantages of sending troops.

Fuyu has nothing to do with Yunzhou, and helping him fight Xianbei is a thankless thing at all.

"Lord Thorn Shi is right!"

Xin Ping also stood up, he has always been Xi Zhong's subordinate, so he is very supportive of Xi Zhong's remarks.

The two civil servants were already able to stand firm against it.

Guo Jia's gaze fell on Gao Shun and Xu Huang's faces.

Although Gao Shun is the general of Yunzhou Weixu, he is not very qualified, so he chose to remain silent on this issue.

Lord!

Xu Huang hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and said, "My subordinates think this is an opportunity." In recent years, the Xianbei people have become bigger and bigger, with a population of one million and tens of thousands of people. If it is allowed to develop, it will inevitably be the great enemy of Yunzhou. There will inevitably be a battle between the two hairs, and since it is going to be fought, why not take advantage of his fledgling powers? ”

Since following Guo Jia, Xu Huang has been doing the work of logistics support training, although this job is not very glamorous, but he still sits seriously.

The 20,000 cavalry in Yunzhou were all from Xu Huang's hands.

Therefore, Xu Huang is very pragmatic.

The cavalry in Yunzhou was mixed, there were Han Chinese, Xiongnu and Wuhuan people, and after being in contact with these people for a long time, Xu Huang also knew the forms on the grassland very well.

In the past, when the Southern Xiongnu were strong, Xianbei was still the younger brother of the Xiongnu, and he was not very famous. Three years ago, after Guo Jia eliminated the main force of the Southern Xiongnu in the Battle of Bingzhou, Xianbei gradually got rid of the rule of the Xiongnu, and over the years it has developed into the largest force in the grassland.

Kirby Neng is a generation of male masters, gradually unifying the Xianbei tribe and condensing strong strength.

Now he has become the lord of the grassland.

Oh!

Hearing Xu Huang say this, Guo Jia's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Gongming, tell me your opinion?" ”

Promise!

Xu Huang clenched his fists again.

"Xianbei is getting stronger and stronger, and naturally they will not let go of Yunzhou, a fat place, they will be Yunzhou's biggest enemy sooner or later. Since sooner or later we have to fight, why don't we fight first. Buyeo's request for help is also an opportunity. Originally, it was very disadvantageous for us to go alone. Now with the assistance of the Buyeo country, the Xianbei people have a better chance of winning. ”

You can say that again!

Guo Jia nodded and said, "So, are we going to promise to help Yu Guo?" ”

Lord, no!

Xi Zhong stood up again.

"General Xu's words make sense, but it is unknown whether Buyeo is worth believing or not, and whether they will help us. Besides, the Xianbei people live in scattered places, if they can't destroy their roots in a war, the war will fall into a protracted war? How many years will it take to fight a protracted war, and it is unknown how much it will consume and how many troops will be involved. ”

He said earnestly.

Oh, yes!

Xin Ping also stood up and said: "Now there are hostile forces in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and the state, and our Yunzhou is not stable. Rather than spending such a big price to deal with the Xianbei people, it is better to consolidate the surrounding areas of Yunzhou. ”

This is also the words of the old Cheng Mouguo.

Thorn History!

Xu Huang was a little anxious, and said: "If we give up this opportunity and sit back and watch the Buyeo Kingdom be annexed by Xianbei, the swords and guns of the Xianbei people will be pointed at our chest and abdomen." Even if the Xianbei people don't fight, the northern frontier of Yunzhou will have to be stationed with a large number of troops. The price was even greater at that time. It is better to take advantage of the current opportunity to solve the problem of northern Xinjiang once and for all. ”

Once?

Xi Zhong asked rhetorically: "What if it can't be solved?" How many years does General Xu plan to stay there? What should this army do, what should logistics do, in case the surrounding enemies come over, what will Yunzhou do to meet the enemy? ”

This......

Xu Huang stopped talking.

After all, he is just a general, and he does not have such a broad vision.

Lord!

Xi Zhong hugged his fists again and said: "Xianbei wants to fight, but it's not a good time to fight right now." The subordinates thought that it was better to stabilize the strength of Yunzhou, and wait until the opportunity was ripe to completely eliminate the scourge of Xianbei. ”

When he said this, he basically represented Wenchen's opinion.

The north will fight, but not now, and will fight when the time is ripe.

Very good!

Guo Jia nodded.

"Zhicai, when do you think the time is ripe?"

Xi Zhong thought about it for a while, and said: "The pattern of Yunzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou is stable, agriculture, commerce and animal husbandry complement each other, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. With another 350,000 troops in our army, we can deal with the threat from the south and the east, which is our chance to attack the Xianbei people. ”

At present, the strength of Yunzhou is only 80,000 people, of which 10,000 are placed in Taihang Mountain and are supervised by Xu Rong and Man Chong, and 10,000 are led by Guan Yu and Zhang Liao and placed in the front fortress of Yunzhou, commanded by Xun You, the division of the right army. 30,000 men were placed in Jizhou to prevent Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, under the command of Xu Shu.

The remaining 30,000 people were in Zhongshan and this core place, Gao Shun's Broken Army, Zhao Yun's White Horse Yicong and Xu Huang's cavalry.

Although there are a lot of troops, it is a little inconspicuous to be divided by three states.

Not only that, but it's also a bit stretched.

Xi Zhong's next step was to expand the army and recruit another 350,000 infantry and 120,000 cavalry.

In this way, we can meet the needs of Yunzhou.

Of course, raising so many more soldiers is also a big burden for Yunzhou, so it will inevitably take a year or two.

A year or two?

Guo Jia shook his head.

If Xianbei is given another year or two, they will most likely dominate the grassland.

He couldn't wait any longer, he was going to attack Xianbei now.

But......

Hearing that Guo Jia couldn't wait, Xi Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Our troops are really insufficient......

Guo Jia smiled and waved his hand, and said, "This time, I only brought 10,000 cavalry. ”

What the?

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

10,000 cavalry to fight the Xianbei people with tens of thousands of cavalry?

Is this lord a little sleepy?

Even if these 10,000 people are running soldiers, it is a fool's dream to defeat the Xianbei people who come and go like the wind.

"You've forgotten someone! He will not sit idly by and watch Kirby rise. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile.

Who?

Everyone couldn't help but ask.

Murong Guang!

Guo Jia said it word by word.
