Sometimes those loyal to the royal family are far more daring than the rebels. As Xun Yue said, he only cares about being worthy of his heart, even if a small court is set up in Youzhou in the future, as long as the emperor is brought in, everything will make sense.

It is precisely because of this that Xun Yue, as an elder, resolutely became the main battle faction of Youzhou against Gongsun Zhan.

In the eventful autumn, it seems that since the beginning of Yanbei's assassination of Tao Qian, the whole world has fallen apart, and everyone is sad for a few days all year round under the turmoil. In the blink of an eye, summer turned to autumn, and the news of the increase in the white horse army in Zhuo County in the south came in the cool breeze...... Obviously, General Gongsun, who is familiar with military affairs, is fighting the idea of approaching winter, for fear that Yanbei will take advantage of the late autumn and early winter to beat Yan Gang out of Zhuo County, so he widely distributed troops and horses in Zhuo County to defend the important place, and showed off his might towards Jixian County in the north.

"Of course, Bergui has a reason to show off his might!" Yan Bei threw the book in his hand on the case with disdain, looked up and said to the scout who passed the message: "Go back and let the brothers in the scout camp explore again, how much has the White Horse Army increased?" It is the cavalry foot soldiers, the new soldiers and the old soldiers, these things have been found out in the future, and there must always be an approximate number in the letters. ”

Yan Bei was not angry, Sun Qing detective didn't know, in the city occupied by the enemy army, to find out the number, this was not something that ordinary scouts could do, and the reason why he was a little annoyed and fell down the book was precisely because of himself.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but they are afraid of wolves when they grow horns.

Thinking that he had nothing but soldiers and horses, he was not afraid of any enemy, but now that he has the nine counties of Youzhou, he has concerns in his heart.

"What do you think in your hearts, Gongsun Bogui has poured troops to Zhuo County again, at the end of this year, should you stick to Guangyang or go south to recover Zhuo County?" Yan Bei turned his gaze to Tai Shi Ci and asked, "Ziyi, what do you think?" ”

After Tai Shici followed Yanbei to Jixian County, he practiced soldiers outside the city every day. Zhao Yunbu has Lu Bu's charging and cavalry tactics that can be used to learn, but his archery and cavalry department does not have much to learn...... In Youzhou and even in the entire north, the famous archers are only about the White Horse Yicong under Gongsun Zhan, but now is the moment when they have a rift with Gongsun Chan and are about to start a war, it is definitely not the time to learn the tactics of the White Horse Yicong, how many students in the world can defeat the teacher at the beginning?

Fortunately, Tai Shici was familiar with books and found the most suitable tactics for the army under his command in the history books...... From the Hun kings three hundred years ago. In the past, the Han soldiers and horses had no cavalry, and they would always be defeated by the Hun cavalry, and they could win a hundred battles with a small group of cavalry and exquisite cavalry and archery against the foot soldiers, and this method of warfare was not until the Han army had a large number of cavalry before losing the advantage of the horseback nation.

In fact, it is a little difficult for Tai Shi Ci to command the bow and cavalry, Tai Shi Ci is indeed an excellent head of riding and archery, but whenever he is in battle, Ziyi always gallops on his horse and overthrows the enemy with a halberd...... This is about the unique melee archer or long-range spear cavalry in the northern part of the swallow.

"General, my subordinates think that although the enemy army is pressing, they don't have the heart to fight with me, the so-called barking dogs don't hurt people, it's better to let the subordinates lead the headquarters to Zhuo County, go around the back of the enemy's army, block the various cities in Zhuo County and the Wuruan Pass communication arteries, and then the general will lead the troops south, taking advantage of the winter moon to recover Zhuo County."

It is not difficult to attack Zhuojun, Yanbei is worried that he will not be able to take Zhuojun in a short time, but he will have a stalemate with Gongsun Zhan in Zhuojun. At present, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Guangyang can be called strong, as long as it is not a full-scale war with Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao, it is enough to drive. But Guangyang could not withstand the long-term tug-of-war...... Their baggage route is too long, from Liaodong to Guangyang is more than 800 miles, not to mention grain and grass, it takes two months to transport a ring knife from Anping Township to Jixian County.

"It's easy to start a war, how many spare armors does the Jixian arsenal have?" Yan Bei turned his gaze to Jiang Jin, these days Jiang Jin is still in control of the city defense of Jixian County, he must know these things, but he saw Jiang Jin said with a bitter face: "Liu, Bo'an Gong is not heavily armed, and the entire army in Guangyang is only a few thousand, and they are all in the camp of the county soldiers." ”

Jiang Jin waved his hand as he spoke: "Don't count on the general, this mess ......"

This is indeed the mess left by Liu Yu, and the two sides use troops in completely different ways. Xian Yuyin and they used to be under Liu Yu, but whenever they needed to use soldiers, they recruited rangers, Wuhuan and other soldiers on the spot, and also let them prepare their own weapons to join the army.

But Yanbei is different, he disdains to use such an army. Even a general like Sun Wentai, who was praised by Lu Yi in the art of war, led the general rabble and could only lose, but any sergeant who Yanbei wanted to send to the battlefield must have undergone complete training.

Yanbei's army is strong, but with the same effort, the cost of raising 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command is enough for Liu Yu to recruit 100,000 stragglers to fight a big battle. It's just that the choice among them depends on the benevolent and the wise.

Yanbei Wenyan shook his head slowly, and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi will train for twenty more soldiers, if you want to come to Luyi, they should escort the baggage to Guangyang as soon as possible, these days you will lead the troops to Guangyang County and Anci County for a generation of exercises, and cooperate with Sun Qing's scouts to guard the key places along the line. As soon as the baggage arrives, Yan will send you a message to attack the enemy troops in various cities and countryside in the south of Zhuo County along the way from Anci to the southwest, and restrain most of its troops and horses from moving southward. ”

Tai Shi Ci heard that Yan Bei deliberately used his subordinates' bows and horses as bait, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "I know below!" ”

The annual harvest is a big day for the generals who command the soldiers and horses, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao are no exception, Yanbei estimates that in two months at most, the two of them will have to fight in the south, and his plan is to take this opportunity to drive Gongsun Chan out of Zhuo County, for this war, Youzhou still needs one to two months of preparation time.

Wait for Lu Yi to uproot the Yuyang Wang clan, and wait for Gao Ran to lead the troops.

"Spread the message to Lu Yi, let him complete the mission as soon as possible and come to Guangyang, and then stationed in Shanggu County to attack Zhuo County from north to south, and take Wuruan Pass. From Gaolan from Guangyang County and Anci County to the west to attack Fangcheng, Liangxiang, Zhuoxian and other places, be sure to recover the entire territory of Zhuo County by the end of the year! ”

Yan Bei waved his hand, as if putting the war aside, and said to Chen Qun: "Long text, send letters to officials in Shanggu, Guangyang and other places, raise winter clothes for soldiers and prepare for this year's winter disaster, reserve food, autumn will pass in a blink of an eye, and the winter in Youzhou is not easy!" ”

I hope that this year, there will be fewer people in the state who will freeze to death and starve to death!
