The first thousand one hundred and fifty-eight chapters
Chapter 1158 Divide the troops
When Lu Su heard Xun You's arrangement, he nodded. Now it seems that if he can really hold Bu Dugen in his hands, it will indeed be of great benefit to his expedition to the Xianbei grassland.
"Well, then should we change our strategy?
Should we continue heading west, or what?"
Zhao Yun nodded to Lu Su. What he was thinking about now was what to do and continue.
"No, there are enough soldiers and horses there. There are 70,000 cavalrymen from Gao Lan, plus the suppressing army, there are already nearly 100,000 troops. Instead of running to fight with him now, it is better to go west step by step now.
, when we turn around with him, it will be the day when we capture all the Xianbei grasslands."
Fazheng glanced at Zhao Yun. They now have two lines of troops, one from west to east and the other from east to west. Both lines are working in parallel and at the same time. This is the most suitable route now.
"Well, let's do this. The army will proceed step by step and head west to follow Xunzhou Pastoral Division."
These three young men were all men of insight. In Zhao Yun's opinion, they were definitely the future of the Han Dynasty. He was not reserved about correct opinions and directly ordered the army to march westward. At the same time, he sent a telegram to Xun You, indicating that he would follow
He's round in the prairie.
Bu Dugen surrendered, and all the more than ten thousand cavalry under his command were integrated into Xun You's army. A few days later, Gao Lan came with seventy thousand cavalry who had been beaten by the wind to fight with him.
"military adviser."
Gao Lan and Zhang Liao came to Xun You and saluted him with clasped fists.
"Boyu, Wenyuan, thank you for your hard work."
Gao Lan and Zhang Liao came, and Xun You's strength was greatly supplemented. They had 70,000 troops. If matched with his current troops and horses, his cavalry would reach 100,000. For the loose Xianbei people,
It is absolutely a destructive force, and his strategies can also be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
"It's not hard work, but the military strategist is still very good. We rushed slowly and didn't catch Bu Dugen in the end, but you first captured his tribe and then captured him. I'm really dissatisfied."
Gao Lan had already obtained Xun You's achievements and flattered him directly.
"I just took advantage of the east wind. If Bu Dugen hadn't fallen into the lord's scheme, why would he have sent troops to fight with Ke Bi in the Delklin Grassland? Without this battle, I wouldn't have been given such an opportunity. Take it first.
Bu Dugen tribe, and then captured Bu Dugen."
Xun You shook his head slightly. He was just taking advantage. If the credit really lies with Yuan Shu.
"What are you going to do next?"
Zhang Liao glanced at Xun You and directly asked him what his next plan was.
"What do you think we should do next?"
Hearing Zhang Liao's question, Xun You smiled slightly and asked the two of them in reverse.
"Now that Budugen has surrendered, they must know the locations of other Xianbei tribes. With them as guides, the speed of our expedition to the grassland will be greatly increased."
Gao Lan glanced at the Xianbei soldiers over there. With these locals here, as long as they were used properly, they would definitely speed up his sweep of the grassland.
"Well, is there anything else?"
From a military point of view, Gao Lan's words are understandable, and his choice is correct, but in Xun You's opinion, this is still not enough.
"General Gao Lan only looked at it from the military perspective. I think there is another point that is more important than the military aspect."
Zhang Liao smiled slightly and continued to speak based on Gao Lan's words.
"What else?
tell me the story."
Now Xun You became even more interested. There was no shortage of brave generals in the Jizhou army, but few wise generals. This Zhang Liao lord said he had potential, and he looked really good now.
"Bu Dugen is the Shanyu of Xianbei, and he is nominally the king of the Xianbei people. As long as we carry Bu Dugen's royal flag and use his name to conquer Xianbei, a lot of ethnic friction can be reduced.
After all, we Han people and the Xianbei people have not been at odds since ancient times. Facing Bu Dugen’s Wang Banner, the Xianbei people will surrender more easily. I think Mr. Zhou Mu thinks so too, am I right?”
Zhang Liao looked at Xun You. He didn't believe that Xun You couldn't see this. The reason why he asked himself these things now was because he wanted to test them.
"That's right, that's right. This is called narrow-minded people seeking to beg disloyalty. Although the Xianbei people are civilized people, they also have a sense of superiority and inferiority. As long as we march under the banner of Bu Dugen, we can
Get the greatest convenience,
Not only can we capture those tribes as quickly as possible, but we can also make them surrender as much as possible and reduce unnecessary trouble."
Xun You nodded. What the lord said is indeed true. It seems that he can really be trained. If he can grow up, it will definitely be of great benefit to the lord's future career.
"Military advisor, just tell me if you have anything to do, and you'll go around in circles to test us."
At this moment, Gao Lan also heard what Xun You meant. He was playing a riddle with himself.
"Boyu, there is no exam. It's just as my lord said, let you think first and then act. Think more before the battle and make fewer mistakes during the battle."
Xun You has nothing to say. Gao Lan is definitely a good general, but he is not a handsome man. Otherwise, according to the time when he joined the Jizhou Army and the teachings of the good counselors, he would not be like this long ago.
"Gao Lan has learned a lesson."
Gao Lan humbly bowed to Xun You. He was a good person. Although he was not as smart as Zhao Yun, he still knew how to correct his mistakes.
"Okay, let's not say so much. The army is taking a rest for the time being. I have already given in to Du Gen and drew several maps. When the time comes, you will attack separately according to the positions on the map. I will attack Zhangjia and Qiantun in the shortest possible time.
These two tribes were captured,
After Bu Dugen received the news that the tribe was attacked, he sent people to ask the four nearby large tribes to send troops. The four tribes had nearly 30,000 soldiers and 16,700 horsemen.
I'm afraid that they will unite and it will be difficult then, so I have to capture two of them first, so that even if the remaining tribes unite, it won't be possible."
Long before Gao Lan arrived, he had received news about the four major tribes from Bu Dugen, and also asked Bu Dugen to draw a detailed map in order to take action as soon as Gao Lan arrived.
"There is no need to rest. Soldiers are very fast. Let's take action immediately. You also said that they have a tendency to unite now. If we delay, I'm afraid something will happen."
Hearing Xun You's words, Gao Lan was also anxious. Originally, he thought that the situation would be great if he captured Bu Dugen, but he didn't expect that Bu Dugen would send people to unite the four major tribes first. In this way, time became
became precious,
The earlier they kill, the less time the enemy will have to react. If they act earlier, they may lose many fewer soldiers during the war.
"Okay, let's take action now. The troops will be divided into two groups. Boyu will lead 30,000 Weilu troops and 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry on one side, and 10,000 Qingzhou cavalry will capture Zhangjia's tribe."
Since Gao Lan had said so, Xun You also knew the importance of rapidity in troops, and directly gave Gao Lan the order to lead his army to raid Zhangjia's tribe.
"promise."
Gao Lan immediately accepted the order with clasped fists and was about to lead the team to leave.
"Wait a minute, you bring a thousand surrender troops over there, remember to carry the royal flag of Bu Dugen, do you understand?"
Seeing Gao Lan about to leave, Xun You stopped him and gave him detailed instructions.
"promise."
"Wenyuan."
After giving orders to Gao Lan, Xun You turned his attention to Zhang Liao.
"exist."
Zhang Liao stepped forward and saluted Xun You with clasped fists.
"You lead the Dang bandits and follow me to the Qiantun headquarters. Your troops are very quick. Take action immediately. We must capture it."
"promise."
"Then let's act separately. No matter who takes the other side first, they must send troops to support the other side as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"clear."
Soon the army of more than 100,000 people was divided into two. One group was led by Gao Lan and headed for the Zhangjia tribe, while the other group was led by Xun You and accelerated towards the Qiantun tribe.
Just as Xun You was stepping up his action, Horqin also rushed all the way to Zhanmu's tribe.
"Horqin."
Zhan Mu knew that Horqin was coming and had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Horqin coming, he immediately gave him a big hug.
"Zhan Mu, how are you?
Do you want to help or not in this battle? Chanyu's tribe is in dire straits right now. We cannot lose in the national war between Xianbei and Dahan. As long as you can help us get our tribe back, I will agree to any conditions."
Horqin was afraid that the person who came to deliver the message could not explain clearly, so he directly expressed his thoughts.
"Needless to say so much, I understand the situation here. As you just said, this is no longer just a conflict between Da Han and Bu Dugen. This is a national war. Although we, the Xianbei clan, fight against each other, in the face of righteousness,
I will go all out, and the 25,000 cavalry are ready and ready to go at any time."
Nianmul glanced at Horqin and directly expressed his thoughts. In his opinion, no matter how the Xianbei people fought or fought, they would always fight against their own people, but now the big men came to kill them. This was a foreign race.
invaded,
He couldn't just sit back and watch the Xianbei people be invaded by the Han Dynasty. They had always been the ones to plunder the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty really killed them, it would be their turn to suffer in the future.
"Okay, okay, Shanyu will not forget you. As long as you can defeat the big man, you will have the pasture and horses of your choice."
Horqin went crazy with joy after listening to Nianmuer's words. Although twenty-five thousand cavalry was not enough to decide the battlefield, it was a shot in the arm for him. As long as someone sent troops, other tribes would definitely follow him after seeing it. This was a great influence on the general trend.
It's definitely a powerful impetus.
"Don't talk about that, get ready to go. I have sent people to Qiantun's headquarters. I believe he will not refuse. If we add his 30,000 cavalry, we will have more than 50,000 people. We can be considered to have a
It’s time to fight.”
Nianmul nodded to Horqin, and at the same time said that he had sent someone to inform Qiantun and told Horqin not to worry.
"Okay, let's set off right away."
Horqin saluted Nianmuer. This was simply a great gift. He was now more and more hopeful about regaining the tribe.
Twenty-five thousand Nianmul tribe cavalry rumbled away from their tribe and ran wildly in the direction of Gantrun tribe.
There is a fierce debate going on among the Qian Lun tribe. He is the most powerful among the four major tribes, but strong strength also means the increase of factions. Now they each have their own faction, and they have to send troops and do not send troops.
Tren was extremely annoyed.
"Okay, let's take a rest for now and discuss it the next day."
Qian Lun slammed the table and directly announced that everyone should rest.
Qiantun had not decided what to do. More than 50,000 troops under Xun You were running around the clock. What they were fighting now was the time difference and what they were fighting for was speed.
"Patriarch, the people of Patriarch Nianmul are outside asking for an audience."
