"Internal strife?" "Niu Fu and the others can't be so short-sighted, can they not see this situation?"
Tao Qian hesitated and said.
"Tao Shijun's words indeed make sense."
"Only those rough guys can see this?" Kong Min didn't think so. He didn't even expect this. A mere martial artist from Liangzhou could understand it.
As a disciple of the Confucius family, Kong Ni has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and their arrogance is even greater than that of many first-class families.
It is quite normal to look down on martial artists.
It's just that Tao Qian is different. Tao Qian has really experienced the battlefield. He has also been to the border to suppress some rebels.
It is very clear that the generals at the border may not have a good background and their knowledge may not be as good as that of the children of aristocratic families, but their ability to lead troops and fight is definitely not bad. If you underestimate them, you will definitely suffer.
Earlier, Zhang Yang and the others were just insisting that their troops should surpass Niu Fu and the others, and they did not take Niu Fu and the others seriously.
As a result, they suffered heavy losses. In less than a month, they lost one-third of their troops.
Now he is lying back and licking his wounds.
"Gongxu, don't underestimate these border generals. If they are really just a bunch of reckless men, how can Dong Zhongying occupy Luoyang today?"
Tao Qian would not look down on others. Many people thought that Dong Zhongying was just an ordinary man, but such an ordinary man had achieved the position he is today.
Of course he would not underestimate Dong Zhuo's men.
When Tao Qian said this, Kong Min couldn't refute it. After all, this was reality. Although he looked down on Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was very powerful now.
He is now the Sangong, and he is just the governor now. If Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty hadn't increased the power of the governor because of the Yellow Turban, he would have local military power.
His power is not even as powerful as that of a local governor.
After all, the prefect could ignore the governor before, and he was the real leader of the place.
He can look down on Dong Zhuo's origins, but he cannot ignore Dong Zhuo's current status and how Dong Zhuo achieved his current status.
Feeling a little aggrieved, I could only watch silently.
"Ning'an, go on, since you think they may not ignore this problem, what should we do next?"
"Tao Shijun, the next step is not what we should do, but what should Niu Fu do?"
"We just continue to attack from a distance every day to force the other party to make mistakes."
"This is a conspiracy. Either they retreat, or they come out of the camp to fight with us."
"If left alone, the Forbidden Army and the local army will be bombs. I don't think Niu Fu will be so stupid."
Su Fan said confidently that even if Niu Fu was a fool and couldn't think of it, he believed that Xu Rong would definitely find it.
So next, it’s up to Niu Fu and Xu Rong to choose.
After leaving the camp and fighting with them in the field, Su Fan and others joined forces with Tao Qian and Kong Ni's army, which totaled 300,000 soldiers and horses, including no less than 100,000 elite soldiers.
Although Niu Fu had 10,000 Xiliang cavalry under his command, Su Fan and the others had more cavalry.
Of course, in terms of quality, only Su Fan's four thousand cavalry can compare with the Xiliang cavalry.
Tao Qian and Kong Wei had more than 20,000 cavalry under their command, but their cavalry combat power was far inferior to that of Su Fan and Niu Fu.
In terms of overall strength, Su Fan and his coalition forces were still superior to Niu Fu's army. Without the protection of the camp, Niu Fu's army would definitely not be their opponent in a real field battle.
These days, Niu Fu has also tried it.
The Xiliang army is indeed elite, but Su Fan's army is not bad either. In addition, the morale of Tao Qian and Kong Niao's army is also high, and there are no mistakes in command.
Even if Xu Ronglai comes, Su Fan is not afraid.
Xu Rong commanded the army to gather military morale. In fact, Su Fan's army can do the same. Military morale is not a magical power of military strategists. As long as the soldiers are capable, ordinary generals can also find it.
Su Fan's army is not bad either. They have been training for five or six years, and they all trust each other. In the past few years, Zang Bachen has learned that they have also figured out the method of military spirit.
Even Su Fan can evolve his military spirit.
As for taking the next step, unless there is a military strategist who has inherited it, the inheritance of military strategists' magical powers is rare among the whole world.
At least none of the generals under Su Fan did.
But facing Niu Fu and Xu Rong's army, Su Fan and the others had an advantage.
They now have the initiative, and what Su Fan uses is conspiracy and an upright method.
Either Niu Fu sends troops to fight with him in the wild. Although Niu Fu's Xiliang army will be defeated by then, there may be losses. If Niu Fu's army is really defeated, they can almost cross the Yellow River and approach Luoyang City.
Either Niu Fu chooses to retreat and hold on to the city, which is safer than this camp.
A few days ago, Su Fan, Xi Zhicai, and Chen Dao had already considered all the options available to Niu Fu and the others.
In addition, if Niu Fu and others want to make a comeback, they may choose to attack their camp at night, but this is very difficult. If you are prepared, you will just die.
Or attack their food roads, which requires cavalry, just like they did when they attacked the Yellow Turban army's food roads.
But there is a certain danger in this. After all, Hanoi County still belongs to the coalition forces, and the coalition forces and the Yellow Turban Army are different.
If a lone army goes deep behind the enemy's rear, it is really going to be discovered. Even the cavalry will feel uncomfortable. Once they are delayed, the whole army may even be annihilated.
Or they could choose to secretly cross the river from the north of Xiaoping with elite troops, bypass Su Fan's army, and attack from the rear.
But this one is also difficult. Not to mention that Niu Fu's camp is being stared at by Su Fan, so it is impossible to divide the troops.
Secondly, even if they send troops from the base camp and then make a long detour to attack Su Fan's rear, it will be difficult to achieve.
Because behind Su Fan and others is Zhang Yang's army, they are resting and recuperating. If they are really attacked, they can hold on for a while.
After all, there are still 200,000 soldiers and horses. Niu Fu sent secret troops, so the number cannot be that many.
It must be a small stock. Even if Zhang Yang and others are abandoned, they can still persist for a while.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to attack them secretly. Su Fan is not Wang Kuang.
Historically, this is how Wang Kuang was defeated.
But he and Xi Zhicai have considered these in detail and made strategies to deal with them.
Therefore, if Niu Fu wants to play dirty tricks with him, it is almost impossible to succeed.
He took all aspects into consideration. If Niu Fu wanted to defeat him, he could only defeat him from the front, but it was almost impossible to defeat him from the front.
So Su Fan was very confident, and his confidence also affected Tao Qian and everyone else. In these days of war, their coalition had indeed won successive small victories.
Although the fruits of victory were not great, at least Niu Fu was suppressed and did not dare to leave the camp.
