Chapter 1834 Huo Qubing returns to Yanyu four times
In the previous battles between the princes of the world against the Jin Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang suffered the most heavy losses.
But Chi You was even more miserable than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang suffered the most heavy losses, and it was his troops and horses that suffered the most heavy losses.
Although Chi You's soldiers and horses did not suffer as heavy losses as Zhu Yuanzhang's, if you do not count the cannon fodder that was later collected to consume the population, they were relatively well maintained.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang only lost his troops and horses, but Chi You lost his foundation, the foundation for his conquest of the world. Compared with other princes in the world, he had basically lost all hope of conquering the world.
How can it be so easy to make up for such a huge step back at a critical moment? While he is making up for this loss, how much progress will other princes make in this period of time?
Of course, apart from Chi You, Cao Mengde's situation was not much better than Chi You's.
Under Fan Li's long-range planning, Zhao She, Cao Ren, Zhang Dingbian and other generals launched a conspiracy against Huo Qubing. In this battle, Huo Qubing really almost fell into the scheme of the Central Plains princes.
There is no doubt about Huo Qubing's ability to lead troops in war, but Fan Li targeted Huo Qubing's character. Of course, the young and energetic Huo Qubing could not compare to the old and cunning Fan Li in this aspect.
Huo Qubing may have known that there was a deceit, but with his character, he knew that there were tigers in the mountains at that time and preferred to go to the tiger mountains. Of course, a batch of grain and grass could not restore Chi You's lost foundation, but if Chi You could stabilize the territory, they would
Then you can concentrate on dealing with Yue Fei and the others.
As for the foundation issue, that is something that will happen later, and the harm to Chi You will also come later. Huo Qubing’s first consideration is the battle in front of him. If the Jin army cannot even survive the battle in front of them, then no matter how much damage Chi You suffers in the future, what will it have to do with them?
Relationship? Huo Qubing's first consideration was to make Chi You uneasy, prevent him from focusing on the war on the front line, and even force Chi You to withdraw from the front line.
Huo Qubing was considering the big battle in front of him. Even if he clearly guessed that there might be problems, if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he wouldn't be able to catch the tiger's cubs.
Furthermore, the more capable people are, the more confident they are in their own abilities and believe that they can break out of the traps designed by their enemies.
However, a simple reminder from Jiang Shang who was passing by this place made Huo Qubing clear the clouds and see the moonlight, and he completely jumped out of the circle defined by Huo Qubing by the princes of the Central Plains.
Because he was worried about the battlefield, Huo Qubing could be said to be blinded by a leaf, but Jiang Shang's guidance moved this leaf away from Huo Qubing's eyes.
With such a batch of food and grass, it is indeed possible to solve Chi You's problem on the surface. At least on the surface, it seems that Huo Qubing's previous actions were in vain, allowing Chi You to rest assured about the war ahead.
However, perhaps the coalition of Central Plains princes represented by Zhao She had prepared a trap and waited for him at this time. However, with Jiang Ziya's reminder, Huo Qubing suddenly understood why they didn't give up on holding this target and instead turned the spearhead cavalry to attack him.
Closer to Cao Cao's territory.
With his speed, he could penetrate Cao Cao's territory in one day and one night, without giving Zhao She any time to react.
After Zhao She reacted, he could turn the gun again.
The princes in the north were not fools. They were willing to exchange such a small amount of food and grass because they wanted something from Chi You, but Cao Cao did not have this opportunity!
Moreover, if this happens, the previous preparations made by Zhao She and the others will be completely in vain.
After receiving Jiang Ziya's reminder, Huo Qubing realized that because he was disturbed by the pressure of the current war situation, some officials were indeed confused and did not even think of such a simple truth.
It is precisely because of this that Huo Qubing used his maneuvering speed to turn back between the two states of Yan and Henan four times in a row, once again dealing a blow to the princes of the Central Plains.
If it weren't for the fact that Cao Cao and Chi You's territory was close to the Yellow River, which was convenient for Huo Qubing's subsequent retreat. And Zhao Kuangyin's territory was far away from the Yellow River, which was not conducive to their subsequent retreat, otherwise Huo Qubing might not have just patronized the territories of Cao Cao and Huo Qubing.
Now, Zhao Kuangyin has to visit his territory again.
Zhao She is indeed a famous general of his generation, and there are also many talented people in the coalition forces.
However, facing Huo Qubing, who specializes in cavalry, these people are indeed inferior to Huo Qubing in terms of cavalry.
Although Zhao She has caught Huo Qubing's tail more than once with his own ability, as usual, even if he catches Huo Qubing's tail, it does not mean that he can keep Huo Qubing here. He can kill Huo Qubing in time every time.
.
Of course, as long as Zhao She can catch Huo Qubing's tail, he will always be able to kill Huo Qubing. However, if Huo Qubing's troops cannot be replenished, they will only fight less and less.
Huo Qubing was able to achieve great achievements among the Xiongnu. A large part of the reason came from his military strength, which did not decrease with each battle and could be replenished during the battle.
Among Huo Qubing's senior officers recorded in historical books, a very high proportion were Hun generals.
In the two battles of Hexi, the senior officers who accompanied Huo Qubing included Xiaowei Gao, who was the King of Huns Ju who returned to Yi; Xiaowei Puduo, a Huns; and Sima Zhao Ponu, a Han Chinese born in the Huns.
Not counting Zhao Ponu, two-thirds of Huo Qubing's senior generals were Huns.
In the Battle of Mobei, the senior generals under Huo Qubing were: Gao Bushi, Zhao Ponu, Zhao Anji, Fu Luzhi, Yi Jixuan, Li Gan, and Xu Ziwei.
In addition to Gao Bushi, Fuluzhi was the former King Yinchun of the Xiongnu, Yi Jixuan was the former King of Xiongnu Qianlou, and Zhao Anji was also the former King of the Xiongnu. Also not counting Zhao Ponu, the Xiongnu lineup accounted for four-sevenths.
In the Battle of Mobei, Huo Qubing's headquarters not only recruited generals, but also recruited a large number of Xiongnu soldiers to participate in the battle.
Han Shu records that in the Battle of Mobei, Hussar General Huo Qubing captured a large number of Xiongnu surrendered soldiers. He led it personally, carrying a small amount of light luggage and dry food, and crossed the desert as a forward attack. He captured Shanyu Minister Zhang Qu alive and killed King Beiche Qi.
Then he turned to attack General Zuo and captured the enemy's flags and drums. He also crossed the Nanhou Mountain and the Gonglu River and captured three people including the Tuntou King and the King of Han, as well as eighty-three people including the general, the prime minister, the householder, and the captain.
.
Huo Qubing's ability and personal charm are also vividly reflected here. How terrifying is this ability to capture the Huns army, collect them on the spot, and personally lead the army into battle?
However, this is the Central Plains, not the grassland, and cannot be confused.
In the Central Plains, even if Huo Qubing could reap the rewards...
