Chapter 217 Yuan He Xingbing

As the main general, Que Yi first said: "When our army sent troops, there were 30,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalrymen. Twelve camps were established along the way, each with 300 people, and 3,600 people went. From the initial investigation of the battle situation, after Gongsun Zan was defeated at the Jieqiao, although most of the troops were lost, there were still about 20,000 troops. Among them, there were at least 7,000 cavalrymen. Calculated by one cavalry and three soldiers, even if morale factors were subtracted, the combat power was not inferior to our army. I heard that Gongsun Zan had forced tens of thousands of troops to recruit, but although it was useless, it was better than our army in terms of momentum."

"However, He Bai's army in Qingzhou has four thousand cavalry and six thousand infantry. Although it is only ten thousand people, its morale is strong and its combat power is less than 20,000. Our army was attacked by Gongsun Zan and He Bai's two armies. Although Yimu City can be defended, the situation is already much inferior to the enemy."

"Although our army has a lot of troops, only half of the elite troops. The enemy has many cavalry, especially Gongsun Zan, who is very good at using cavalry, has a great risk of facing head-on battle. In my opinion, we should defend the city, wait for labor, and ask General Yuan for military support. Since our army has an advantage in Qinghe's military strength, it should be fully utilized. If General Yuan is unwilling to reinforce Yimu, he can also launch an offensive against the city, so that He army cannot take into account both the beginning and the end!"

Feng Ji sneered: "General Tuo Zhonglang, aren't you afraid to fight? Gongsun Zan, He Bai has many cavalry? But our army has many bows and crossbows! Last time at Jieqiao, wasn't it just that Gongsun Jun defeated him? Oh, yes, the lord did not hand over the military and national weapons such as the Three Thousand Great Yellow Crossbows to General Tuo Zhonglang for use, so General Tuo Zhonglang would not fight."

Guo Tu also gave a secret test prompt: "General Tuo Zhonglang, don't forget. Before sending troops, the lord and you all agreed that this battle should be fast rather than slowed down. In particular, Gongsun Zan should not be relieved. He should drive Gongsun Zan away from Jizhou in one go. In this way, Jizhou will not suffer too much. Otherwise, what is the use of a lord taking a devastating Jizhou? Moreover, General Tuo Zhonglang would not forget the rewards given by the lord, right? Marquis of Wanhu, the governor of Qingzhou..."

Cui Juye sneered: "General Kuo Zhonglang, it's okay for Gongsun Zan to make you cautious, but a mere He Bai can also make you wary? If General Kuo Zhonglang is afraid to fight and hand over 20,000 troops to me, I can defeat He Bai's army in one day. Then return to fight with you to Gongsun Zan."

Que Yi was a very special figure among the Yuan army. Although his ancestral home was on the Qingzhou Plain, he moved to Liangzhou for twenty years. Later, he was recruited to join the army in Jizhou, but he was always regarded as the Human of Xiliang. In particular, Dong Zhuo, who was also a native of Xiliang, caused rebellion in the capital, which made Que Yi suspicious of the people of Jizhou.

Therefore, although the former governor of Jizhou, Han Fu, summoned him, he did not value it. Instead, he restricted everything and deducted it, which made Que Yi furious and led his troops to rebel.

Later, although he surrendered to Yuan Shao, he cleared many obstacles for Yuan Shao; he also made great contributions when the Southern Xiongnu Khan rebelled under the Fuluo. However, Yuan Shao still did not like this reckless warrior who was easy to repetitive, vulgar and rude.

In the end, although Que Yi regarded himself as a powerful man on the plains and a native of Qingzhou near Jizhou, the people of Jizhou never regarded him as their own, and Yuan Shao and others of Yuzhou also regarded him as outsiders. Therefore, Que Yi was isolated and helpless in the Yuan Shao army in Jizhou, and felt very desolate.

But Que Yi was extremely capable in military use and was able to maintain his own talent. He was more common in military affairs and was arrogant and arrogant. It was even more difficult to be loved by Yuan Jun, a civil and military officials who regarded himself as a famous scholar. Among Yuan Jun, there was no friendly person except for a studious Hejian Zhang He.

The words of these three people were heard by Qu Yi, and they felt sarcastic. Compared with the white horse general Gongsun Zan, He Bai's reputation was indeed not high. However, when Dong Zhuo attacked the war, he was remarkable. Especially when several armies were wiped out, He Bai's army suffered the least losses, but he was beheaded and forced to subdue more. After the battle, the army did not decrease, but increased day by day.

Moreover, He Bai's use of troops is extremely steady, with meticulous considerations and rarely advances. He is a person who is good at using regular troops. However, a few years ago, it was circulated in Jizhou that He Bai's heavy snow crossed Taihang and attacked the Black Mountain bandits in a surprise battle. He also used the strange way to fight with Huang Zhong on a boat and skillfully took Ao Cang. Will such a good way to deal with people who are so steady and well-versed in the way of being strange and right?

Not to mention that He Bai was young and had no major turmoil, he easily took the six countries of Qingzhou for his career. During this period, he was even more violent in the world and had the ambition to stand on his own in the Han Dynasty. In the future, whether it was the world really divided into three parts or He Bai dominated the world, the heroic spirit of treating the heroes of the world as if nothing was unforgettable.

However, since Qu Yi decided to assist Yuan Shao in his career, he would sooner or later fight against He Bai, who was determined to be the world. Qu Yi knew that the ending of this battle would not be very good. Since Cui Juye wanted to try out He Bai's depth, it would be just right. He could take a look at He Bai's approach to military use, so there would be a special method to target him in the future.

After thinking, Qu Yi said coldly: "Since Deputy General Cui has such ambition, it is not impossible. I can ask you to lead 20,000 troops to fight against He Bai. However, if you lose this battle, you will not be sarcastic and sarcastic about my command in the future. Otherwise, I will be engaged in military law."

Cui Juye was shocked, but immediately laughed. He fought against He Bai with 20,000 troops, and it was easy to win and defeat. Kuo Yi said this because he was afraid that he would lose the reputation he gained in the Battle of the Realm Bridge, so he was unwilling to lead his troops to fight the unknown He Bai army himself.

If he wins himself, Qu Yi, as the main general, will gain a lot of credit; if he is careless and defeated, if he is not led by Qu Yi himself, his reputation will naturally be undestroyed, and he will no longer be stubborn in his future command. This is a matter of this. Who said that Qu Yi is a reckless man? Reckless man has a plan?

However, Qu Yi has a plan and is not bad. If he can defeat He Bai, he will prove his military command in front of his lord. With his close and friendly relationship with his lord, who will be the chief general of the future?

Cui Juye immediately bowed and replied: "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse."

After the Qingzhou soldiers passed another reform, the main combat force was more than 20,000, and the generals of each command were:

The infantry army used Dian Wei as the lieutenant of the Pofeng school, and led 3,000 troops, Chengqi, Zhang Zhang and the second Sima as deputy, Zhao Yan as the staff; Huang Zhong as the lieutenant of the Jianzhong school, and led 3,000 troops, Wu'anguo, Liu Zheng and the second Sima as deputy, Du Xi as the staff; Fu Xing was the lieutenant of the Liyi school, Che Jing and Guan Hai as the deputy, and Zhong Yan as the staff; Chunyu Qiong and Zhaoxin school, led 3,000 troops, Lu Ping and Chu Hu as the deputy, and Xun Yan as the staff. A total of 12,000 people were found.

The cavalry army appointed Zhang Liao as the captain of the cavalry, and led 2,500 cavalry and 500 cavalry, Du Lei and Song Guo as the deputy, Man Chong as the staff. Cheng Yu was the cavalry commander, Wang Fang as the deputy, and led 3,000 cavalry, among which Lu Qian was the chief staffer, Xun Qi, Yu Cheng and others as professors, and helped Cheng Yu take charge of the army. He Bai led his own blood cavalry, Yu Hua and Ye Xun as the deputy, and Shi Yi was the chief staffer. In addition, the two thousand Li family members of the brothers Li Qian and Li Jin were joined, with a total of 23,000 troops.

Other generals, Zong Bao, were promoted to the commander of the Beihai, and promoted Zhou Tai to the commander of the Navy, and led 6,000 naval forces together with Guan Cheng and Jiang Qin. There are still new recruits in the navy. Later generations, Jiangdong tiger minister Dong Xi, Ling Cao, father of Ling Tong, and Guo Zu, a native of Le'an recommended by Guan Cheng, were the deputy of the third commander, and temporarily tried to fight for the Sima to jointly protect the coast of Qingzhou.

The 30,000 Qingzhou auxiliary soldiers were led by the six generals Liu Xun, Peng An, Yan Jing, Wang Zhao and Cen Bi. Except for Guan Zheng, Liu Xun and Liu Xun were slightly better, the other four were barely competent.

Because of the obedience of these six people, and He Bai had already used the replacement of low-level officers, the infiltration of deputy positions and staff, such as the appointment of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei as the governor, and Liu Xun's deputy Sima, he had already brought all the elite soldiers of Qingzhou, so the positions of these six people have not been changed for the time being.

The last five thousand mobile defense infantry were led by Lu Zhi, Zhang Zhao, Wang Xiu, Luo Pei, and He Bai's second wife Anova. They were mainly responsible for the security matters in the state and the protection of major officials and yamen at all levels. They were equivalent to the armed police force in later generations. They completely separated the war soldiers, auxiliary soldiers from local affairs, and implemented the division of civil and military affairs, so that outsiders could lose the opportunity to infiltrate the Qingzhou soldiers.

In this battle to reinforce Gongsun Zan, He Bai mobilized three thousand thrust cavalry from Cheng Yu and Wang Fang, one thousand martyrs from Yu Hua, two thousand infantry from Cheng Qi and Lu Ping, four thousand Qingzhou auxiliary soldiers directly under Guan Tong, Guan Xun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, a total of 10,000 troops. In addition, there were still three thousand reserve baggage soldiers, one thousand craftsmen and medical soldiers, a total of 14,000 people.

He had just arrived in the camp twenty miles south of Yimu City. Early the next morning, Yuan Shao's army launched a large-scale move and sent 20,000 troops to call for war.

He Bai scratched his head and boldly pretended to be a private soldier from Xiliang under Zheng Bu's command last night, and went deep into the Yuan army to investigate the news report. The situation inside the Yuan army was so clear. However, Yuan army came so hurriedly to call for war, how could he know that he would definitely respond? If he didn't respond, would he dare to attack the camp?

He Bai summoned the merchants and said with a smile: "The scout came to report to the lord Cui Juye, deputy general of Yuan's army, led 20,000 troops to our army. When our army arrived, I don't know how morale was? Are you full of energy? Do you think it's a war, or not?"

Zhang Fei immediately shouted, "The soldiers come and the generals block the water and the soil come and the soil come. When he dares to come, I will kill him without leaving any armor. This battle is to fight."

Cheng Qi also bowed and said, "Lord, our troops have equipped them with excellent weapons and armor in advance. If we don't fight in the previous battle, wouldn't we be ashamed of the sharp weapon? We should be hit head-on."

Yu Hua, who was also unable to follow He Bai to attack Dong Zhuo, also called for a war at the same time. The three of them pretended to be thieves, and He Bai took a lot of effort to seize Qingzhou, but the credit was not made public, so they could only give it a lot of rewards in private. This time, they came with the army, and wanted to use them as the main force to fight with Yuan's army, so that they would be more rewarded. Naturally, they wanted to fight. Zhang Fei was fighting by nature, and it was needless to say that he wanted to fight.

He Bai looked at Cheng Yu, Wang Fang, Guan Tong, Liu Xun, Guan Yu, Shi Yi and others. Everyone nodded in agreement and did not feel tired of marching for several days. Seeing that the scholars were able to do so, He Bai made a decision and decided to go to war.

"Since you are going to fight, you will have a great victory. You must teach Yuan Jun a lesson, so that Yuan Jun will not dare to underestimate our Qingzhou soldiers anymore. How should the formations of the battle be arranged in this battle, what do you think? Ziyu, you are the staff officer, let me tell you your opinion first." He Bai asked again.

"Here." Shi Yi said: "Lord, according to the battle report of Yuan's army during the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan's army has many powerful crossbows, spears, halberds and other heavy troops, and lacks cavalry and barracks. Therefore, when fighting against our army, it is necessary that strong crossbows are placed in front, spears, halberds and barracks are placed in behind, and finally pursued by cavalry and barracks."

"Our army is well-armed and has strong anti-arrow capabilities. After approaching, with the winding speed of the new crossbow, we can definitely defeat the Yuan army. Therefore, although our army is small, our combat power is extremely strong. We can fight against the enemy, compete with the bravery of the soldiers under our command, and use the regular soldiers to forcibly defeat them."

"There is no trace of military tactics in the true foolish man's opinion." Cheng Yu laughed at him, and suddenly made Shiyi's face turn red and unable to control himself. Cheng Yu turned a blind eye and bowed and said, "Soldiers are the tricks. Cui Juye is determined to fight quickly, so why should our army follow his wishes? During the Battle of Jieqiao, wasn't Yuan's army not moving? Our army can be applied to it..."
