Chapter 2 Preparations for Soldiers and Horses

In Liu Yu's heart, he was afraid that the Yuan family was far better than Dong Zhuo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the early years, when he plotted to punish the eunuchs, Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Kui killed Fan Ling Xu Xiang. That is a person who has done the three dukes, even if he has different political views from them, in the end, he has done good things when he was an official, and Fan Ling's Fan Gongqu is one of the few things that has benefited the people in recent years, and he will kill him if he says he will kill it.

Is there any difference between them and Dong Zhuo?

It is nothing more than one wearing the skin of a martial artist and the other with the face of a scholar.

In the final analysis, it is a raccoon dog.

Therefore, Liu Yu really didn't want to get involved in the chaotic situation in the Central Plains, and even wished that the Dong family and the Yuan family would lose both.

After the state government discussion, Yanbei and Liu Yu had many secret talks, and even talked late for three days, Yanbei slept in the side room on Liu Yu's house, and finally agreed that Yanbei was invited to send troops south to form an alliance with the Kwantung princes.

This is a choice based solely on the pursuit of profit.

It is true that helping Dong Zhuo is equivalent to helping the Han family, at least Dong Zhuo has no idea of usurping the Han. However, after Dong Zhuo's victory, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be afraid of Youzhou's strong troops, and tried every means to disintegrate the soldiers and horses.

And even if he sent troops, it would never be Youzhou troops, but the Liao general Yanbei would send troops, and Liu Yu would not give him any support...... Because Liu He is still in Luoyang.

And to help the Kwantung princes, although Yanbei's prestige among the scholars is far less than that of Yuan Shao and others, his advantages are also incomparable to others. Compared with the newly recruited soldiers of the Kwantung princes, the battle-hardened veterans under Yanbei are well-deserved.

What's more, the position of General Du Liao occupies the first place in this group of Taishou and assassins.

Dong, Yuan...... This choice is not difficult to make.

Finalizing the strategy, Yanbei sent a message to Lu Yi of the garrison in Yecheng, telling him that he didn't need to return to Liaodong, and that he could be stationed in Yecheng. Then he said goodbye to Liu Yu and galloped back to Liaodong.

Liaodong's affairs need to be prepared before the expedition!

Here I have to mention the situation of the three battalions under General Duliao, the Yuyang battalion has been an empty battalion after chaos, and Yanbei has incorporated 3,000 Youji homeless people to join the army; The commander of the Liao battalion is named Geng Wen, who is related to the Geng clan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and led the battalion soldiers to move to Jixian County, Youzhou on the order of the Yanbei Army, and fought a battle with the wandering Southern Xiongnu on the road, plundered the horses, money, and grain, but there were only more than 1,200 left in the full battalion, and there were also 3,000 young and strong people in Youji; The only one that has the strength to fight is the Liyang battalion stationed in Liyang County, under Wei County, with a full capacity of 3,000, but the ordnance is old and the soldiers are slack.

This is all Lu Yi sent a message back to say, when it comes to Liyang Camp, Lu Yi is full of complaints.

I can't help but complain, Yanbei just gave him the edict of Captain Hu Qi a few days ago. The so-called captain Hu Qi is now a fictitious title. In the early Han Dynasty, the captain of the Hu cavalry was one of the eight captains, and the Hu knights who were in charge of the post of 700, and the horses of his subordinates all used the BMW of the Western Regions that Dawan tributed to, and the captain of the Yue cavalry was called the most elite cavalry in the world.

But later, the Hu Qi Lieutenant Department had been merged into the Changshui Lieutenant in the Five Schools, and this official position no longer existed. The ghost knows that Dong Zhuo is now taking out the name of this captain to prevaricate people, in the final analysis, there is no weapon, and he doesn't give a war horse, so he just asks Lu Yi to form a Hu Cavalry Captain Department, isn't it a joke?

Lu Yi originally thought that there should be some ordnance in the Liyang battalion, and he even sent a message to Yanbei to use the surplus ordnance of the Liyang battalion to form the Hu cavalry department...... As a result, I ran to Liyang to take a look, there was a bullshit ordnance, the Liyang warrior's own armor was mottled and rusty, and the remaining weapons in the arsenal were either rotten or damaged, where could he be allowed to arm the soldiers and horses!

Not to mention anything else, although Lu Yi has no armor at the moment, he is full of three captains and a team of 10,000 people, and he is the leading general in the entire Jizhou.

Yan Bei returned to Xiangping, and combined the plan to send troops to fight Dong and Frustration, all with a sad face.

They all know that the trip to discuss Dong is a certainty, and only by participating in the discussion of Dong can their Liaodong forces and even the entire Youzhou occupy a pivotal position in the increasingly chaotic world situation in the future.

However, it is very difficult to coordinate the proportion of Liaodong and the Central Plains.

Summoned the captains from all over the country, the county commanders and military commanders from the martial arts to discuss the affairs in the county government, and they came and went for several days.

Then open the county government meeting, full of high school captains, Sima, Yanbei is the first, and its subordinates are frustrated and high-level to quote civil and military.

Yan Beidao: "Now the Kwantung princes, as I expected, want to raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and Yan also wants to lead troops south to seize the opportunity to survive for our state and county." High School Lieutenant! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"If you want to go south, there are still soldiers and horses in Liaodong?"

"Some time ago, Zixianbei returned 1,700 horsemen, plus 6,000 from the second battalion of Yuyang and Duliao." Gao Ran arched his hand and said: "There are now more than 23,000 warriors in Liaodong, but they are fighting in the south...... It is difficult to get out of the army. ”

Yan Bei bowed his head and asked Fu Zhu: "Gonghe, when Liaodong is farming, if you go to work on the farmland, how many people can you use?" What if you no longer look at the reclamation of wasteland? ”

"General Hui, the second battalion of Yuyang and Duliao, the new pawn has no fighting power, so he can be incorporated into the field pawn first, and the second battalion is full of strength in the field pawn." Fu Zhi knew how important it was for them to go south to fight Dong, so he arched his hand and said: "But the two captains of the north and south must leave 6,000 troops to guard against Gongsun Du in the north and Goguryeo in the east. Therefore, Liaodong only had 8,000 to 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight south. ”

Yan Bei nodded, this number was not much different from his estimate, in fact, he planned to drive 8,000 soldiers and horses out of Liaodong, and then transfer Wuhuan to participate in the war, enough 10,000 people. Such a force, coupled with the 3,000 veterans and 7,000 recruits of the general department of Lu Yi, already has momentum.

He didn't plan to face Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Xiaorui alone, even if there were only 20,000 or 30,000 veterans who had gone through the battle among the 200,000 Xizhou soldiers, it was definitely not something he could defeat alone. He just wants his headquarters to have enough combat power. The combat power and strength do not have to be much, it is enough to defeat the princes of Dongzhou.

He had no intention of serving his strength in this war of the princes of Kanto and Kansai...... Moreover, even if he only produces 5,000 elites, it is far better than the 20,000 young men recruited in Kanto.

"That's enough for so many people, who of you wants to go to the Central Plains with me?" Yan Beichu asked a question, and all the generals under his command got up one after another, especially Gao Ran stepped forward and said: "General, Gao must be used in this battle!" ”

Yan Bei smiled, even if Gao Ran didn't say it, he would take Gao Ran to the Central Plains. How can such a good general survive in Liaodong.

However, he still showed embarrassment on his face, and asked Gao Ran: "If you send troops with me, who should guard Liaodong?" ”

"Frustrated Taishou!" Gao Lan was afraid that Yanbei would not let him go out, so he hurriedly looked at Fu Zhu and said: "Fu Taishou is well aware of military affairs, but with a general to garrison, Liaodong can be safe." ”

"It's fine, Gonghe." Yan Bei said to Fu Zhu: "In this case, Liaodong will be garrisoned by you this time, in addition to government affairs and military affairs, it will be hard for you." ”

Frustrated, he arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, my lord." ”

"In this case, Gao Lan, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Jiao Touch, Jiang Jin, Sun Qing, and Li Damu will follow me south, and they will meet the princes of the world for a while." Yan Bei looked at everyone and said, "The rest of the people are waiting to guard Liaodong." ”

Yanbei really didn't plan to exert too much effort in the war against Dong Zhuo, because he thought that the Kwantung princes were too hasty to raise troops against Dong this time, and it was difficult to make contributions. What's more, the comparison of the strength of the two sides is mostly evenly matched in his opinion.

Such a war can only be won by desperate efforts.

But can the Kwantung princes fight hard? They won't be desperate!

Yan Bei is a person from the past, and before he obtained the land where he lived, he was accustomed to swords and swords, and he was crawling and rolling before life and death. But when he owned his own land, whether it was Handan City in the past or Liaodong County today, he didn't want to fight with others.

Because Liaodong County is the capital of his comeback, as long as his life is still there, he can be stronger.

The same is true for the Kwantung princes, in Yanbei's opinion, they are more likely to unite and intimidate Dong Zhuo, but they may not have the courage to directly beat Dong Zhuo back to Xiliang.

Even, if the Kwantung princes were enough to share the same hatred, this war would be contrary to Yanbei's understanding of war.

If he did not have the confidence to kill the enemy with one blow, he would rather make peace temporarily or even appease, and use all means to stop the war with the enemy.

This is to avoid wasting their forces and forces before the decisive opportunity comes.

No one with a brain is willing to fight a protracted war with the enemy.

These people have each been guarded, and there is no court restraint on their heads, they are all like overlords of a land like Yanbei, who is willing to let go of their power.

From this alone, Yanbei can foresee the world after the Great War between the East and the West. If it was really as he thought, in the end, the Kwantung princes failed to drive Dong Zhuo back to Liangzhou, and the situation in the world behind him was really seen.

"Gongyu, do you have any suggestions for this battle?"

Hearing Yan Bei's question, he said in frustration: "My subordinates suggested that the general should not take the lead in taking people, but the garrison Liyang can watch the battle, and wait for the opportunity to win, so as to shock the princes of the world." In addition, the prince of Goguryeo and the envoys of the Buyeo Kingdom, you should meet before you set out on the expedition. The subordinates of Guanzhong don't know much, but some people in Liaodong understand, so Lu Zigan is still the book, and the lord must consult him before he goes on the expedition. ”

"Ahh If it weren't for the public and mentioned, Yan would almost have forgotten. Yan Bei nodded in response, and finally said to Sun Qing: "How about it, as my scout, take another department out to find out the news, right?" ”

Sun Qing grinned, and said in response: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

"Zilong Ziyi, you follow Sun Sima and learn the skills of scouts, it will be of great use in the future." Yan Bei rubbed his fists, propped his knees and said to the generals: "You go back and prepare, our opponent in this battle is different from the past, and the battle-hardened Xiliang soldiers don't want to be as easy to deal with as those enemies in the past." ”

"Alright, let's all go down. Gao Lan, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, and Jiao Touch stayed. Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to retreat to Yanbei, Yanbei summoned a waiter and said: "Go to Yan's house and take three long lances, two ring knives, and three sets of big armor." ”
