Gaiden Huizhong will be in high spirits
At that time, Liu Yi elevated Chun Yuqiong and Cao Bao, and his intention was to dig a pit for Yuan Shao and Liu Bei in the future, but he himself was not sure what the specific effect would be. However, with Yan Hou's knowledge, his words had a great impact on the second general, even Dong Zhuo and others, who were enemies of him, would not doubt Liu Yi's vision at this point. Therefore, Chun Yuqiong is in Jizhou, Cao Bao has been reused in Xuzhou, and Lang Sheng's comments have played a great role even if they are not the main reasons, and it can be seen from the status of the two generals that Cao Bao Xuzhou is the main general, and Chun Yuqiong's position is still above the general.
Yuan Shao and others are still like this, not to mention Gan Ning and other generals, Liu Yi naturally won't explain anything, and it is definitely not a bad thing for the soldiers in front to be cautious against the enemy. Therefore, Gan Ning, Yan Gang, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others at this time were locked on the Jizhou general Chun Yuqiong, this person can be so valued by the prince, so it is also a great honor to defeat him on the battlefield.
"Second general, according to the military situation, the Zhonglang people can reach Qinghe today, and the enemy army is so gathered, no matter what Yuan Shao's purpose is, we can't weaken the prestige of the prince, and we should give a response." Waiting for Lynch to introduce all the enemy situations in detail, Xu Huang was the first to speak, the general of the Youzhou Army has always been Liu Yi first in his heart, and to be honest, there is no difference between the imperial court and the prince at all. Zhang Liao, the commander of the Yanyun Army, has a deeper understanding of this, his Yanyun Army has 30,000 people, and the foundation is Youzhou soldiers, but after the whole training, now Yanhou's status in the hearts of the soldiers is like a god.
"What General Xu said is extremely true, Second General, if our army breaks through to respond, Yanyun Army is willing to be the vanguard." Zhang Liao followed up and said, he is full of confidence in his Yan Yunjun, and he is even more confident in Liu Yi's ability to train troops, especially propaganda and agitation, and the people are still those people, but the spirit is completely different, for example, Xu Huang's words just now As long as he goes back and talks to the soldiers, it is a matter of the face of the prince and the marquis, and the whole army guarantees to scream, and the morale is extremely high! Yan Yunjun is a new army, not to mention that Feihu Long Xiang is still Liu Yi's old subordinate, in a word, the state army almost does not need pre-war mobilization to fight.
Gan Ning looked at Zhang Liao when he heard this, and the latter's eyes were firm, and his face was also calm. Zhang Liao has a Hongyi personality and doesn't like to compete for fame and fortune very much, but how can he not be infected in the atmosphere of the Youzhou Army! Besides, it is also a public heart for him to ask for a battle like this, at this time, the combat power of Huwei Longxiang is slightly better, but the Yanyun army is more familiar with the terrain, and if it really fights, the strong army will be able to maintain more tactical changes in the future. And with a male division in his hands, Zhang Liao really wanted to see how powerful they could be compared to before, so the Jizhou operation would be an exam for the nascent Yanyun Army, and he wanted to do it perfectly.
"Generals, we are under the command of the prince and the marquis, the army of the imperial court, and we must act magnificently, so Ning's idea this time is that the three-way army of Flying Tiger Dragon Xiang Yanyun will go hand in hand, since General Zhang has been invited, Ning should allow it, then General Zhang's Yanyun army will be the middle road to break forward, the front of the army will point directly to the Qinghe, and the cavalry battalion will be divided into two thousand per army, and all of them will be handed over to General Yan Gang for command." After a while, Gan Ning nodded slightly and pointed to the sand table and said, Originally, he wanted to use Xu Huang's Long Xiang Army as the middle lane, but Yan Yunjun's new formation made the morale undimmable, and Zhang Liao's ability to command the army was recognized by Liu Yi.
"The second general is so arranged, do you have to go and touch Nanpi?" Xu Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he had no objection to Gan Ning's arrangement, the formation of the Longxiang Army, the Flying Tiger Army, and the Yanyun Army was also conducive to cooperation with each other, Gan Ning and him were divided into the left and right wings, and Nanpi was within the attack range of the Longxiang Army, where Yuan Shaojun's hoarding of grain and grass and military resources was, and it was really important to have a big war.
"Come and don't be rude, Yuan Benchu put on this formation, I want to make him panic, but the matter of Nanpi is clear, you have to be cautious, there must be heavy guards where the grain is stored, and our army will not send the first arrow in this battle." Gan Ning groaned slightly and organized his words, and while speaking, he looked at Xu Huang and pointed at him, believing that the other party must know his mind.
"Don't worry, general, Huang Zi will be cautious." Xu Huang smiled knowingly and said, the Youzhou army does not send the first arrow, but it can provoke the other party to send it, as long as he has to grasp the degree of it, he doesn't need to say it explicitly.
"You have to see if you can fight or not, but you can't miss what you want." Gan Ning said, taking advantage of this opportunity in front of him, he can also explore the terrain of Jizhou in detail again, Tianer's intelligence is of course accurate, but looking at the map is different from personal experience, as a general of the unified army, the necessary survey of the terrain is also indispensable, the next target of the lord is Yuan Shao, and it is not wrong to prepare in advance.
"General rest assured." Xu Huang's words were concise and to the point, such an important town as Nanpi would be the focus of contention between the two sides, of course, it was necessary to explore carefully, and there was no need to say anything with the tacit understanding between him and Gan Ning.
"General Yan, the rear and flank protection of the army can all be handed over to the White Horse Battalion, not only that, but you also have to keep an eye on the cavalry of Yan Liangwen and Chou, is the strength of the White Horse Battalion enough?" Gan Ning also said to Yan Gang that the Youzhou Department is facing the Jizhou Army, and the White Horse Battalion is the biggest advantage, as long as Yan Gang can suppress Yan Liangwen and Chou, they can take the initiative, advance and retreat, and defend freely.
"My battalion of non-commissioned officers plus six thousand friendly troops is enough, but I don't know if the general wants to see how the other party's actual catties are." Rear support, the protection of the two wings also has to contain the enemy's main cavalry, of course, this task is extremely heavy, it is almost impossible for the Youzhou Army under the command of Gongsun Zan to have such a military order, but Gan Ning said very naturally and easily, Yan Gang's answer is also a matter of course, both sides of the elite ability of the white horse have a deep understanding, as long as they are properly deployed, they can do it, as for how to do it and how to arrange, Gan Ning will not interfere with Yan Gang, as the main general, what he wants to catch is the general strategy. From Zhong Fu's answer, it can be seen that he is not only satisfied with this, Fang Cai Lynch has already introduced the combat power of the Jizhou cavalry, but in Yan Gang's heart, he hopes to understand the opponent's trump card through actual combat.
"Of course I won't let him go if I have the chance, I'll wait for General Zhang Niujiao's guards!" Gan Ning replied with a slight bow, the Flying Tiger Army and the Jizhou Battalion have fought a lot in recent years, but it is only a small-scale fight, at most two hundred horsemen, so the ability of the enemy cavalry group to fight can only be speculated, he is very supportive of Yan Gang's proposal, and Liu Yi gave him an order that only clarified the principle of not firing the first arrow, and Gan Ning has great autonomy in this battle. Coupled with Long Xiangjun, one of the two trump cards, after a detailed analysis, Xingba is sure to wrestle with Yuan Shao. The military camp is a place where strength speaks, and the status of the two trump cards of Huwei and Longxiang has been recognized by everyone, so everyone agrees with Gan Ning's words, no matter how much strength the other party has, it will be extremely difficult to win Longxiang.
"Second general, Xu Huang is in charge of Linnanpi, and the Yanyun army of Liao is about to go to Gaotang." Zhang Liao was still very pleased with Gan Ning's readily accepting his proposal, he had heard of the pre-war discussion atmosphere of the Youzhou Army before, and the atmosphere had always been very active. Gao Tang was the only way for the expeditionary force to return from the Qing River, and controlling it was undoubtedly the best way to protect his colleagues, but how much pressure he needed to put on the enemy army needed to be carefully considered. Alone is not to fear war, but to take into account the overall situation.
"Gaotang is the main way for our army to return, and it must be controlled in the hands of our army, General Zhang, you have the imperial court order to welcome Zhonglang's triumph, as long as the Yanyun army is reasonable, once the enemy obstructs it, it can put on a strong offensive posture, you and I keep in close contact, and the Ning Zhi Flying Tiger Army will come to reinforcements as soon as possible." Gan Ning said without hesitation when he heard this, this battle of Gaotang is the key, Yuan Shaojun really wants to deal with Lian Zhonglang will definitely get stuck here, once the Jizhou army does this is a signal, then the Youzhou army will attack Gaotang at all costs, and the strength of the guards there will not be comparable to Anxian.
"Second General, if this is the case, can the general temporarily transfer the equipment battalion and engineer battalion of the Flying Tiger Army to Zhang? If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and there are two armies and equipment battalions that have joined forces to attack Gaotang and have a great increase. Zhang Liao was more determined in his heart after being recognized by the main general, and he was no longer polite at the moment, the tradition of the Youzhou Army is like this, and good steel is used on the blade without distinguishing between each other.
"According to General Zhang, the Flying Tiger Army Engineer Battalion and the Equipment Battalion can be handed over to the Yanyun Army." Zhang Liao's words can be said to be in line with Gan Ning's meaning, and immediately said that the purpose of the multi-arm setting of the Youzhou Army is to enhance combat power and tactical changes, especially the equipment battalion, the two battalions in one thunderbolt car doubled, and attacking a city like Gao Tang that is not strong should have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
"The equipment battalion of my Longxiang Army can also be commanded by Wen Yuan, anyway, a strong city like Nanpi is probably just a threat." It is common for all arms of the army to cooperate in combat, and the Flying Tiger Army, which attacked Ganning in Zhuo County before, concentrated the engineer battalions of the four main forces, which made the bridge erected very smoothly and opened the passage for the army to advance, Xu Huang did not say that he still lacked understanding of Zhang Liao, and at this time Gan Ning said that he would no longer have any scruples, and even if he coerced Nanpi to let him attack the city with the strength of an army, it was too thin.
"General Zhang, if the enemy army makes any changes, you must ensure that you can take Gaotang within one day to open the way for the whole army." Gan Ning bowed slightly, and he was not polite, just like he gave a military order directly with Yan Gang just now, this must be done.
"No!" Zhang Liao's answer was even more brief, with the 30,000 elites of the Yanyun Army in his hands, and the help of the two armies, how many defenders can there be in Gaotang? If he can't take it anymore, he can step down. Moreover, in order to conquer Gao Tang Gan Ning and Xu Huang Yan Gang will definitely cooperate fully in order to conquer Gao Tang, he has a personal experience of the cooperation between the various armies of the Bingzhou Army, Gao Tang is so important, he is not worried about the left and right flanks at all.
"Okay, then let's do it like this, after a detailed discussion, General Zhang will return immediately, the whole army of Yanyun will attack on the third watch and the fifth watch, and Gongming and I will send troops two hours after the general, and Brother Zhongfu will accompany me and others." Gan Ning shook his head and made a decision, and then the four generals and several staff officers discussed various details in the commander's tent for a full hour, and everyone returned to the team.
