Chapter six hundred and fiftieth chapters have their own means
Chapter 654: Each has his own means
I heard that Ma Teng actually contacted Li Jue of Chang'an, allowing them to attack Yuan Shu's rear. This strategy was indeed stronger than theirs, which is why Ma Teng's current strength is stronger than theirs.
"Stop talking, I believe that as long as everyone works together, we will be able to defeat Yuan Shu. When Han Sui is gone, we will divide Liangzhou together."
Ma Teng spoke at the right time, and then raised the wine glass into the air.
"Defeat Yuan Shu and divide Liangzhou together."
"Defeat Yuan Shu and divide Liangzhou together."
"Defeat Yuan Shu and divide Liangzhou together."
Everyone did the same, raising their wine glasses to the sky at the same time, and then drank it all.
In this way, Ma Teng's alliance was temporarily stabilized, and then the army set off for Cangsong. They could not fight in Guzang. This was the center of Ma Teng's rule. If it was destroyed, he would have to build it himself, so he chose Cangsong.
Song this small county town.
"My lord, Ma Teng swore an oath to send troops in Guzang. He commanded an army of 500,000 infantry and marched into Cangsong. He told us harsh words to defeat us and then carve up Liangzhou."
The news of Ma Teng's swearing-in also reached Yuan Shu's ears quickly.
"Haha, if nothing else, we can't match Ma Teng's shameless energy."
Yuan Shu sat in the carriage and looked at Xun You beside him, his eyes full of smiles.
"Well, our mercenaries are 250,000 and 500,000. How many troops can Ma Teng have? Liang Xing, Ma Wan and other five forces can only have 60,000 to 70,000 at most. The Qiang people can give him 50,000 at most, plus
It would be good to have 150,000 troops in his headquarters, but I don't know how he calculated the number of 500,000."
Xun You is a human being among the best. When she collected information before, she also inquired about all the forces. Ma Wan and others did not have as many soldiers as Yang Qiu. They only had more than 10,000 people. The five forces were based on 70,000.
Even if they all come out, it's impossible for them to leave someone to look after the house.
Han Sui, a Qiang force, only supported 20,000 fine cavalry here due to inadvertent and active efforts. Ma Teng's place may have slightly more, but it can only be 50,000 at most. With all of this, Ma Teng's troops and horses have already been guessed.
.
"Well, so we have to fight this battle quickly. After all, the supply of 250,000 people is very expensive. Although Bingzhou has long stocked up on food, if we can reduce the consumption, we will consume less. Whose food
It wasn’t brought by the strong wind.”
After hearing Xun You's words, Yuan Shu also nodded. Liangzhou is such a big place, and whoever has a few kilograms or taels is something that is displayed openly. If you hide a thousand or two thousand troops under the eyes of others,
It's still possible, but if there are an extra ten or twenty thousand elites popping up suddenly, what's the point of cheating?
So what Yuan Shu has to consider now is not the enemy's power, but how to end this battle as soon as possible. If it is difficult to increase revenue, then he can only reduce expenditure.
"I will immediately contact Zhang Liao to go to Fanhe and Rile, and first destroy these two largest Qiang forces."
Now that Ma Teng has sent out troops, the next step is to see who kills whom first.
"Well, let's do it."
Yuan Shu nodded, and then closed his eyes. This was a skill he had developed over the years. No matter how bumpy the carriage and horse were, he could sleep peacefully. Only in this way could he ensure that he could have the most adequate sleep at all times.
energy to deal with possible problems that may arise.
"General, telegram from military advisor."
Zhang Liao has now led his troops from Jincheng County into Xiping County, but he did not go through the city. The army went all the way west. Zhang Liao's intention when leaving Xiping was to pass through Xiping County, and then pass through the rarely inhabited Shaodang Qiang territory and cross Qinghai.
From Hubei, we then advance to Zhangye and Wuwei County.
"read."
After a telegram, Zhang Liao already understood the purpose of the telegram.
"The military advisor has ordered us to advance to Zhangye County as quickly as possible, and then attack the Qiang forces in Fanhe and Rile. Once the enemy sends troops back, we can decide on our own follow-up actions. However, his suggestion is to advance eastward to Xuande.
Prestige and other places."
Xun You's telegram was very general. Except for asking Zhang Liao to attack Rile and Fanhe, the rest of the orders were non-directional. Because he didn't know what to do, all actions must be regarded as the general's own responsibility.
of literacy.
"Bring Kanyu."
After listening to the telegram, Zhang Liao called directly and fetched the Kanyu map of Xiliang.
"Liang Dao, Yan Yun, do you have any ideas?"
After getting the map, Zhang Liao directly called Jia Kui and Wang Ling to his side. Facing the two young generals, he didn't know what they would think.
"General, as the military advisor said, the Qiang people in Rile and Fanhe are die-hard supporters of Ma Teng, so they will definitely come out in force to help Ma Teng this time, so I suggest that two groups of light cavalry be separated and attack separately.
Two places, and the army is lying in ambush here."
Jia Kui glanced at Kanyu, and finally fixed his gaze directly on the location of Daliu Mountain.
"Do you want to harass the enemy with your light cavalry, let the Qiang people send scouts to ask for help, and wait until the enemy returns to annihilate them in Daliu Mountain?"
After looking at Jia Kui, Zhang Liao was actually very happy. The strategic goal was right, but the choice of location was somewhat different from his own.
"Well, if the Qiang people want to return, taking Daliu Mountain is obviously the best route, and leading troops to ambush here is also the best place."
Jia Kui glanced at Zhang Liao, then nodded to him.
"Well, Yan Yun, what do you think?"
Zhang Liao nodded without answering, and then turned his attention to Wang Ling.
"General, my general idea is similar to Liang Dao's, but the location I chose is different. The ambush location I decided on is here."
Wang Ling directly pointed with his finger at the location of a continuous soil slope. This place is called Qunlang Ridge. It is said that this place used to be the territory of wild wolves, but as time went by, it also became a road frequently traveled by humans. As for
The wild wolves had been massacred a long time ago and disappeared to nowhere.
"oh?
Why choose here.”
Zhang Liao was also stunned when he saw the place Wang Ling pointed at. This place coincided with his idea.
"General, we only have 30,000 men, and we have to divide our troops to attack two places, so the available troops will not exceed 25,000 cavalry.
If the Qiang people on the opposite side know that their lair is being taken away, they will definitely rush back. It is unknown how many troops there will be by then.
If there are too many people and horses, even if we can defeat them, our losses will be quite heavy, and there is still the possibility of being defeated.
Instead of doing this, what I want to do is to take the next step, let go of the Qiang people in Fanhe, and set up an ambush between Rile and Fanhe. In this way, the enemy we face will not exceed 20,000 at most.
And after such a long journey, these 20,000 people must be exhausted. With our troops and horses, it is not a problem to encircle and annihilate them.
Once we capture this Qiang force and then join forces to march eastward to Fanhe, it will be difficult for the Qiang people to resist. The result will be the same, but the security will be much improved."
