“…… And what I'm most worried about is whether they will take this opportunity to cause an accident in my Huaxia!! ”

Xun Yu's words made Lu Ren's heart suddenly tighten. www.biquge.info Xun Yu is a strategist, and he has his vicious vision for things, and Lu Ren is naturally inferior to him. But Lu Ren has historical references, so he can know more than Xun Yu in many aspects, and the things he can see will be farther than Xun Yu.

After a while, Lu Ren almost jumped up from his chair, ran to the map by the wall in three steps and two steps, and stretched out his finger to point at the northern border of China on the map:

"The Qiang tribes over there in Chang'an...... The Xiongnu tribes in the north...... It's a big problem this time!! ”

Xun Yu came to Lu Ren's side, and his face became quite ugly: "Yihao, have you also thought of this layer?" ”

Lu Rentie nodded with a blushing face, and his fingers nodded at the Qiang tribe in the west of Chang'an and the Xiongnu tribe in the north of Chang'an, and turned his head to Xun Yu and asked, "Xun Gong, how many soldiers and horses has Lao Cao placed in these border areas?" ”

Xun Yu muttered: "In total, the soldiers in Shuobian should be around 200,000. But Yihao, you also know that with such a long border, 200,000 horses and horses are actually a bit ...... to guard everywhere."

One thing to be clear here is that during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, most people only noticed that Lao Cao fought here and there with 100,000 and 200,000 troops at every turn, but they often ignored the number of troops stationed by Lao Cao on the northern border. In fact, according to relevant historical data, after Lao Cao took Hebei, the soldiers and horses in his hands were often divided into two, that is, half of Cao Wei's troops followed Lao Cao to the east and west, and the other half was stationed on the northern border and never easily mobilized. During the Cao Wei period, those nomads in the north never had any major movements, and it also had a lot to do with Lao Cao's policy of Zhenbei.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no movement at all, but that some movement will soon be suppressed by Lao Cao. Like the Karasuma Rebellion in the original history of Jian'an for 23 years, Lao Cao sent Cao Zhang over and solved the problem in three times. There are also people like Kebineng and Budugen, but they have not been able to make any big waves. It can be seen that Lao Cao still did a good job on the issue of the northern nomads.

The current situation is due to the appearance of Lu Ren, which has made some changes in the situation in the north, such as Kebineng and Budugen are already dead, but Lao Cao's defense of the north is still the same. Moreover, because Lu Ren took over the Liangliao region, it posed a greater threat to Lao Cao's territory, and Lao Cao's defense deployment of the northern border was a bit biased towards the northeast...... In fact, Lao Cao and Lu Ren didn't want to fight with each other in their hearts, but who dared to guarantee that the two sides would really be so friendly? Based on the comparison of the strength of the two sides, does Lao Cao dare to relax? Does Lu Ren dare to relax again?

Well, that's not. In fact, to put it bluntly, Lao Cao never dared to relax his guard against the north, which means that those nomadic tribes in the north saw that Lao Cao was stationed here with heavy troops and was ready to fight, and they did not dare to provoke Lao Cao easily. But if something goes wrong here with Lao Cao, or if there is an opportunity that can make them a big profit, these nomads who have been accustomed to raiding the Central Plains since ancient times will not let go of such an opportunity.

And herein lies the most critical problem. In the original history, although Lao Cao lost to Liu Bei in the battle for Hanzhong, in general, Lao Cao also retreated safely, and there was no problem on the Liangzhou side, and there were no other influential changes, so it can be said that Lao Cao was not affected except for losing the territory of Hanzhong.

But what about now? Liangzhou was broken by the Western Regions Coalition Army, and Lao Cao could almost be said to have hastily withdrawn to Chang'an after the defeat in Hanzhong, and he had no time to repair and use the defeated division to strategically defend the Western Regions Coalition Army. In other words, Lao Cao's suppression and deterrence of this large area west of Chang'an has been greatly reduced, so the Qiang Department in the west of Chang'an and the Xiongnu in the north will think that this is an opportunity to make a big profit, and it is even very likely that they will reach some kind of agreement with the Western Regions Alliance, and then form a three-way alliance to attack Chang'an. If that's the case, Lao Cao's current military strength may not be able to withstand it.

And not only in the Chang'an area, if Lao Cao fell into a bad situation on the front line of Chang'an, who would dare to guarantee that the nomads north of Luoyang and the front line of Jinyang would not make some trouble? If you want to talk about the siege of the city, they may not be so interested, after all, at this time, it has not yet reached the time when the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty caused the Wuhu Chaohua, and the prestige of Cao Wei is still there, but he invaded the Hebei region on a large scale, and left with a vote, so the result is not a joke, is it possible that they will be worried that Lao Cao will send troops to the grassland and desert to conquer them?

But standing on this basis, Lu Ren and Xun Yu knew very well in their hearts that once there was a "move on the whole body", so that Lao Cao's territory was looted by the northern nomads on a large scale, then Lao Cao's territory would fall into a chaotic situation. Even if these nomadic tribes are repulsed, the next year and a half of tricks will not be able to clean up the mess. And the worse question is that if there is chaos in Lao Cao's territory, will Liu Bei and Sun Quan wait for Lao Cao to clean up the mess again? Taking advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are both playing well, right?

In other words, if Lao Cao's side is in chaos, the balance at the current point will be broken, and no one can say what kind of situation will appear next. In Lu Ren's view, if it doesn't work, it's another form of Wuhu chaos!

"Yihao, I think you must take a countermeasure immediately, otherwise once there is a rebellion between foreign races, the inland of the Central Plains will inevitably reappear in chaos, and the people of the Central Plains of my Han Dynasty will definitely fall into dire straits!"

Of course, Xun Yu doesn't know what the "Five Hu Chaohua" is, but as one of the outstanding strategists in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu can still see some things. With Xun Yu's character and his style of a national warrior who worries about the country and the people, he will naturally say such things to Lu Ren immediately.

Lu Ren naturally nodded immediately. Lu Ren is indeed not a saint or a national scholar, but Lu Ren is at least an angry young man who has, at least once had the idea of an angry youth. Now that there is such a crisis, and he has a certain ability, how can Lu Ren sit idly by and ignore this?

After a little hesitation, Lu Ren turned his head and instructed Chen Yiyi in the room: "Yiyi, immediately draft a call back to Lao Cao, be sure to show Lao Cao that this Western Regions Alliance has nothing to do with me Lu Ren!" In addition......"

Speaking of this, Lu Ren was silent for a long time, and suddenly made up his mind to say to Chen Yiyi again: "Order the Yizhou Sailor to divide twenty ...... No, thirty medium-sized gunboats rushed to Xuzhou, and when they arrived in Xuzhou, they dismantled all the guns on the gunboats and handed them over to Sima Yi to send them to Xudu through the Xupeng (Xuchang-Pengcheng) railway, and then to Chang'an. As for the relevant personnel, ammunition, you look at the arrangement! ”

Chen Yiyi ran to get busy with a "promise", while Xun Yu looked at Lu Ren with a complicated mood and said, "Yihao, are you sure you want to send the artillery out like this?" Thirty medium gunboats, twenty-six guns each, that's more than eight hundred guns. ”

Lu Ren looked up to the sky and sighed: "How can you take care of so much at this time? Since the Western Regions Coalition has moved out the artillery, we must also use the artillery to bombard it back, otherwise it will be too much of a loss on the battlefield. Xun Yu, you've been here with me for many years, don't you know that if you use artillery to bombard the military formation or something, you can disrupt the opponent's military formation with three blows and two blows? ”

After a pause, Lu Ren added: "From a tactical point of view, unless you can use fast mobile troops to kill the opponent's artillery position, no matter how many men and horses you have, they will just be targets for shelling." And I always have the feeling now that since these Western Regions coalition forces can put artillery on the battlefield, then they must have corresponding tactics, and Lao Cao lacks experience in this area, and if he really gets started, he will definitely suffer a big loss. ”

This is not Lu Ren's nonsense. Anyone who knows a little about military affairs may understand one thing, that is, with the development and upgrading of weapons and equipment, the tactical thinking on the battlefield must also be changed. To put it simply, broadsword spears have broadsword and spear fighting styles, and aircraft cannons have aircraft cannons. In the face of new types of weapons and equipment and related tactics, outdated tactical equipment and tactical thinking may not necessarily lose, but the losses they will suffer will certainly be very large.

To give another example that is a bit of a bull's tongue, Poland was also a military power at the beginning of World War II, but their outdated tactical ideas based on cavalry were high in the face of the blitzkrieg and armored warfare of Naqu Germany. And in the early stage of World War II, the Soviet Union also suffered enough of outdated tactical thinking.

Of course, the current situation is not so exaggerated, according to the information provided by Lao Cao, it seems that the Western Regions Alliance Army has only moved some artillery out, but Lu Ren still has a faint uneasiness in his heart. All in all, if Lao Cao suffers a loss in this regard and suffers too much loss, the consequences that will be triggered next are really unimaginable.

So for this reason, Lu Ren also made a decision, that is, to select some people who he had cultivated here and were familiar with tactical ideas such as artillery to be sent to Lao Cao. Although there is a bit of a temporary smell of cramming, and it is even too late for the soldiers on Lao Cao's side to practice the new tactical methods, Lu Ren believes that with Lao Cao's talent, these people can always come in handy after being sent over, and at least they should be able to reduce some of Lao Cao's losses.

Xun Yu has been here in Lu Ren for many years, and when he has free time, he often goes to the military science department of Yizhou Academy to recharge, so he knows a lot about this matter. From the perspective of the overall situation, Xun Yu would of course agree with Lu Ren's decision, but he still couldn't help but be worried: "Yihao, if you do this now, it will certainly help to relieve the current crisis, but after the war, these things and tricks on your hand will be spread, and you will ...... here at that time."

Lu Ren understood that Xun Yu was talking about Lu Ren's technical advantages here. To put it simply, the reason why the Cao, Liu, and Sun families did not dare to provoke Lu Ren also had a lot to do with Lu Ren's scientific and technological advantages, and to put it bluntly, if they wanted to provoke Lu Ren, they had to weigh whether they could carry the warships and artillery here that Lu Ren had. And now that the artillery has been passed into the hands of Cao, Liu, and Sun, it is almost certain that they will turn around and use it against Lu Ren.

Just thinking about it, Lu Ren shook his head and said, "No way, let's do it in a hurry." Besides, these things will be circulated sooner or later, and at most it is just a matter of earlier and later, but if they are circulated later, they can give me more time to develop here. It's just Xun Yu, the problem now is that the Western Regions have also moved the artillery out, so even if I don't pass the artillery to the hands of the three families, as long as the three of them put some effort into it, they can also get artillery from the Western Regions Alliance, so why should I be a villain and hold on to it? At least at least, if I release it earlier, we can make our people die less, don't you think that's the truth? ”

Xun Yu thought for a long time, nodded and said, "That's indeed the truth." ”

Lu Ren sighed again here, and said in his heart that this matter itself was actually an inevitable result of historical development. In contrast, it may not be a good thing for the people of China to know that gunpowder is not just something to play with, and then develop and improve it with heart. In fact, to be honest, Huaxia has been up to the Ming Dynasty, and the development and use of firearms are actually quite good, but unfortunately they were messed up by some of the ruling strategies of the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. In the end, it is also a sad that the country that invented gunpowder was bombarded by other countries with gunpowder.

Some things have been arranged, and the telegram sent by Lu Ren to Lao Cao has also been photographed back to Xuchang's "office". It's just that considering the concealment that the telegraph is currently necessary, it will have to drag on for a few days before it can be handed over to Lao Cao's people. But at this time, Lu Ren's "office" in Jiangling received Liu Bei's inquiry about Lu Ren, and it was also immediately converted into a telegram code and then photographed into Lu Ren's hands.

As for Liu Bei's inquiry, Lu Ren didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he jumped up, and his voice was almost like a roar: "The situation is not right!" Conspiracy! This is definitely a big conspiracy!! These actions of the Western Regions Alliance have a half-dime relationship with Lao Tzu!? The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions raised troops to help Liu Bei, and what else did they say to punish Cao and thieves, and reopen the Western Regions trade route after revitalizing the Han Dynasty? Liu Bei, if you agree to these requests, you will be a hopeless fool!! ”
