On several official roads from Juan Cheng to Bianshui, the mighty soldiers and horses never stopped. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao was uneasy about Yanbei's march with such fanfare, but as a guest general, it was difficult to refute Yanbei's face, so it was worth asking sideways: "General, what if we act like this, what if we are discovered by Xu Rong?" ”

Yanbei's march was not only fanfare, it was close to recklessness, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were directly spread out to the east of Bianshui. Although this march is indeed very domineering, for a while I looked at the lush greenery of the forest beside the road, and there were soldiers holding high banners everywhere.

But what if this is attacked by Xu Rong?

"Brother Meng De is worried that Yan is too flamboyant to march like this?" Yan Bei smiled, leaned on the wheel and looked to the west and said, "I just want Xu Rong to know, and Yan is here to act." ”

Compared with being discovered by Xu Rong's exploration horse, Yanbei was more worried that Xu Rong didn't know that he was heading west. Now Xu Rong has his back to the revolving gate, and he holds Xingyang City, an important town in Yin, Henan, as a barrier from Kandong to Luoyang...... Most of the elite soldiers and horses in Yanbei's hands will be lost under this city pass.

In addition to the 3,000 handed over to Cao Cao and the remaining 5,000 of the Lu Yi subordinates are new pawns, the rest of the Yan Zhao warriors under Gao Lanling, the second battalion of Changshan Zhongshan in Jiao Touch, and Zhao Yun's original Zhang Jaw Other, these are all veterans who have gone through several battles, how can they be lost to the siege battle with extremely high intensity and the highest mortality rate.

Yanbei's fanfare march had only two purposes. One is to make Xu Rong misjudge him, thinking that Yanbei is just a person with a false name and let down his vigilance; The second is to let Xu Rong out of the city, lead the soldiers to fight, and win the decisive victory in the wilderness.

In the end, they all end up in the same way, all in order to confuse the enemy.

"Brother Meng De don't worry, there will be no war before Bianshui." Yanbei had never been to Sili, and he didn't know much about the terrain here, so he was originally very worried about his weaknesses, but with Lu Zhi accompanying the army, Lao Shangshu, who was very familiar with Luoyang, gave him too much help. Raising his whip and pointing west, Yanbei smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Bianshui, we gather in Bianshui, and we need to worry after crossing the river." ”

Cao Cao thought about it, but he still felt that Yanbei seemed to be too confident and arrogant, thinking of the horror of Xu Rong's soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but say to Yanbei out of worry: "Xu Rong's soldiers and horses are very strong, and generals need to be more careful." ”

"Well, Meng De, rest assured, Yan is not arrogant to that extent."

Is Liangzhou strong? Yan Bei didn't know, but he knew how the strong soldiers in the north under his command came out. There are a hundred kinds of people, so a person who counts a hundred places is a virtue. Regardless of whether it is a Danyang soldier or a Liujun soldier or a Youzhou soldier and Jizhou soldier, the newly recruited soldiers are all the same.

Even if there is a slight difference in general, it is nothing more than that the good family of Lianghe Six Counties was born ready to join the army at all times, and his body is a little stronger...... This is also because they prepared for war early.

The same is true for soldiers in other places, just like the Jizhou soldiers in Yanbei, the 20,000 Jizhou soldiers in his hands who first followed him north to Liaodong through Xianbei, and those soldiers were indeed the best soldiers he had ever met.

Before they joined Yanbei, they were either county soldiers who had been trained in Jizhou for a year, or bandits and criminals who had been transferred to various places, and they were stronger than ordinary people in both mind and body. However, after several major wars, more than half of the surviving Jizhou soldiers are now the commanders of the army, and there are not many who are still ordinary soldiers.

Later, the soldiers recruited during the second Pingshan were much worse in quality, Zhao Yun's village bravery, Jiao's hungry people, and the displaced people recruited in Zhongshan Julu, after experiencing the war, were ruthless, but after all, the physical weakness could not be made up in just three months, and it was far from the former Jizhou soldiers.

In the distant era of peace, the soldiers of Jizhou were weak and the soldiers of Youzhou were strong, because they needed to worry about foreign attacks at all times, and the young people in the border counties honed their martial arts to guard against border provocations. However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people of Jizhou have experienced wars and do not know how many things they have experienced, so they are well prepared for military affairs...... This is especially true in Liangzhou.

Since Yanbei was born, the war in Liangzhou has never stopped for two years. The people of Liangzhou are always in the midst of war, and the children they give birth to begin to practice arching horses at a young age, and after the age of ten they can go on horses to fight and kill.

In such a place, Yanbei couldn't think of any reason why the Liangzhou soldiers were weak.

But even if you know that Liangzhou soldiers are strong and strong, what can you do? Is he afraid, like those Kwantung princes who are frightened but don't move forward just by hearing someone's name?

Which is stronger and which is weak, you will always know after the battle!

Bianshui Flow, Bianshui Flow.

Immediately on the bank of the water, Yanbei raised his eyes and looked west, if he said that he was not a little worried in his heart, it would be a lie.

Any river that is deeper than a human body is a terrible existence on the battlefield, let alone the current situation, after he crosses the river, this wide river will cut off their back path.

In fact, the current situation is very strange, Bianshui is in the middle, thirty miles to the west is Xingyang, the frontier town of Dong Zhuo's army, and sixty miles to the east is the small county of the Kwantung Army. Regardless of the backup forces, if the war broke out east of Bianshui, Yan Bei was seventy percent sure that he would be defeated with fewer soldiers than Xu Rong.

But if it's west of Bianshui? Yan Bei's inner grasp is only three points.

Such terrain and terrain are still acceptable for small battles in various places near Xingyang, once the two sides join forces to fight, Yanbei will have 20,000 enemies and 30,000...... The water behind him would cut off all his chances of retreating.

In normal warfare, even if a large group of men and horses fights together, the first casualties exceed 10%, and they will find a way to withdraw the whole army and wait for the opportunity to fight again. A major battle usually takes several battles to get the generals of both sides to find the means to defeat the enemy directly, so as to neutralize the enemy army.

But with such a river behind him, does Yanbei have a chance to fight again? He could even have predicted that the 20,000 soldiers and horses would be defeated in the battle west of Bianshui, leaving him with only two narrow ...... Either they fought on their backs, or more than half of the elite soldiers were forced into the river by the enemy and drowned.

Therefore, Yanbei discussed many times with his 'staff', the general under his command, and Lu Zhi, but each time the possibility of the battle taking place east of Bianshui was minimized. Unless Xu Rong was a person who was completely ignorant of military affairs, it was absolutely impossible to lead the war to the east of Bianshui.

Even the three battles of engagement, pursuit, and defeat that he fought with Cao Cao finally came to an abrupt end in Bianshui and never advanced eastward.

Yan Bei and his generals are helpless, Yan Bei is good at calculations but this kind of war is obviously beyond his ability, Lu Yi is good at frontal combat but strategy is not his forte, as for Tai Shici, Jiao Touch and others have little experience in calculation, the only one who may come in handy Lu Zhi sighed and said to Yanbei after thinking for a long time that the best way at the moment is to attack and harass Xu Rong to cross to the east according to the Bianshui army.

This is similar to Cao Cao's suggestion, which may be the best strategy at the moment, but it is not what Yanbei wants.

He didn't want to stay where he was anymore and hand over the initiative to Xu Rong, and he felt discouraged by the helpless waiting. He couldn't wait to fight the Liangzhou soldiers, even if it was only a small battle, and the test could give him a specific understanding of the strength of the Liangzhou soldiers.

Just as Yanbei was discouraged and preparing to set up camp east of Bianshui to raise and wait for Xu Rong, Chen Qun, who was wrapped in soldiers and horses and followed them all the way to this place, came to his side and asked, "What is the general thinking about looking to the west?" ”

In fact, Chen Qun thought about it later, and he was originally elected by the villagers to persuade Yanbei not to let Hu Qi harass the people of Yingchuan anymore. But in the sour jujube camp, he was taken to the general stage by Yanbei, and then he followed the soldiers and horses here in a daze under the pity of Cao Cao's heart to serve the country and Yanbei's heroism, which is really ...... Creation makes people.

In these huge armies, Chen Qun felt out of place. What kind of identity is he here? He was neither a staff member who could follow Yan Bei to discuss matters, nor was he an ordinary soldier or a junior officer. What is he, a traveler visiting the camp?

"Why do you want to go back?" Yan Bei's mood at this time was not good, this stream of water made him feel sad, so his words lost his usual gentleness, and asked: "Along the way, have you seen Yan's subordinates encroaching on the people?" ”

However, Yanbei is Yanbei after all, even if he is in a bad mood, he will not beat or scold others. He is not a person who is prone to gaffes, which is also his perseverance in cultivating his own temperament.

"I don't want to go back." Chen Qun had a nonchalant smile on his face, although he never thought that he would follow him for hundreds of miles in the camp in Yanbei, but to be honest, he thought it was very interesting. He had never felt that he was so close to the war, and it just so happened that the 20,000 male soldiers in Yanbei could give him a lot of security, Chen Qun said slowly: "I just look at the general's worries and want to know what is going on." ”

"What's going on?" Yan Bei pursed his lips and sighed, and told you, can you solve it? Although he glanced at Chen Qun angrily, he still said patiently and slowly: "Can Changwen know about military affairs?" I want to lead the army westward, but after the westward advance, this Bianshui will block my retreat, and there are no reinforcements, once the army is defeated and pursued by the enemy, the soldiers and horses will be lost, so I can only garrison here...... The air is strong but unable to fight with the enemy, and the big husband can only sigh again! ”

"Oh, the general is worried about the enemy's land advantage." Chen Qun nodded slowly, he hadn't read any military books, although he was smart, he still learned from his family scriptures, but he asked casually: "Since the geographical advantage cannot be overcome, why doesn't the general want to kill the enemy's geographical advantage?" If the two armies are similar, they will soon be able to fight? ”

"There is this Bianshui behind me, but the enemy is a revolving door behind Xingyang...... Eh, you have a point! Yan Bei said angrily, suddenly stunned, and suddenly rejoiced under the fist exchange: "You are right, you are so right, you can also do things by killing the enemy's advantage!" Go, follow me to the tent! Yan has a way! ”
