Fan Zeng's plan was indeed good, but as soon as he said it, several princes couldn't help but look at Fan Zeng deeply.
The premise of Fan Zeng's plan is cavalry. If you want to go deep into the hinterland of the grassland, it is impossible without cavalry. Moreover, you can only dispatch cavalry, and you must use all cavalry.
Among those present, the only four princes with strong enough cavalry under their command were Yang Jian, Li Xiang, Qin Zheng and Liu Bang.
Among other princes, although the cavalry strength of princes such as Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao can be seen.
However, comparing people to each other requires death, and comparing goods requires throwing away goods. Compared with the previous princes, the cavalry strength of other princes is not enough.
Therefore, the four princes who are most affected by Fan Zeng's plan are Yang Jian, Li Xiang, Qin Zheng and Liu Bang. Going deep into the hinterland of the grassland is not a good thing. It is easy to go, but it is difficult to come back safely. One
No, that would really mean the entire army would be annihilated.
Among the four princes who were most affected, starting with Li Xiang, this crazy woman Yu Ji has been staring at him. God knows if there is any shadow of Yu Ji behind Fan Zeng’s idea. Maybe these people are just trying to
Going deep into the hinterland of the grassland to weaken Li Xiang's strength under the guise of repelling the enemy.
As for Qin Zheng and Liu Bang, the two princes, Ying Qin, Liu Han and the Xiang family need not go into details for hundreds of years! Qin Zheng and Liu Bang may also be guessing now, what is Fan Zeng's move?
Don't you want to weaken the strength of the two of them?
As for Yang Jian in the end, although there is no clear conflict of interest, he might not like it because Yang Jian coerced the emperor to order the princes and dealt with the previous wave easily!
In short, the four princes, Yang Jian, Li Xiang, Qin Zheng and Liu Bang, are speculating on Fan Zeng with the greatest malice in their hearts.
Of course, the reason why Fan Zeng proposed this plan was not only because he really wanted to repel the grassland forces, but also because he wanted to weaken these princes.
Just like the grassland forces and the Central Plains forces have an advantage in field battles. In the future, if the northern princes attack other princes, their cavalry will also give them an advantage.
Fan Zeng was not worried that his plan would not succeed. Not to mention that he was already standing on the high ground of repelling the prairie cavalry, and other princes would also be happy to see the consumption of these princes with stronger cavalry.
Somewhat.
Although these princes all appear cheerful and approachable on the surface, when it is time to add insult to injury, they will never be lenient at all.
With the help of other princes, Fan Zeng would no longer worry that his plan would not succeed.
"Mr. Fan's plan is really brilliant, but if you want to complete such a task, I'm afraid you will need all the cavalry!"
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore and started to help Fan Zeng.
"Although I don't have many cavalry under my command, I would like to send three thousand cavalry to join the army out of the fortress!" Then Yuan Shu spoke.
As Yuan Shu spoke, the faces of the northern princes became even more ugly. They were going to be roasted on the fire rack!
Li Xiang glanced at Yuan Shu inadvertently, and then at Fan Zeng. Things were getting more interesting now. Fan Zeng and Yuan Shu were actually hooking up.
If Fan Zeng and Yuan Shu hadn't hooked up, how could Yuan Shu, with his character, have taken the initiative to help Fan Zeng and put in three thousand horses to ride in.
At the same time, Liu Yu also obviously guessed that there was something going on between Fan Zeng and Yuan Shu. Between these two people, Fan Zeng's Xiang clan was in Jingnan, while Yuan Shu was in the north of Jingbei, slightly to the northeast.
These two princes happened to have Jingbei, where the three brothers Liu Biao, Liu Yu, and Liu Xiu lived, stuck in the middle. Therefore, if the two of them separated, it would definitely not be good news for Liu Yu.
Therefore, Liu Yu, who originally wanted to cooperate with Fan Zeng, now became a little confused and confused.
"Among the princes of the Han Dynasty, when it comes to cavalry, the four princes, King Sui, King Yan, King Qin, and King Henan, should be the first. Now that we, the Central Plains, are dying, I hope that the four princes will put the world first.
Don't hide your secrets!" After Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, he stood up and bowed in a decent manner.
After Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Che, Zhao Kuangyin, Sun Jian... none of these people were left behind, and they all persuaded Li Xiang and others to send troops.
"Everyone, this battle concerns our entire Han Dynasty and our entire Central Plains. It is of course our duty to wait for a few of us!" After Wang Meng and Jia Xu behind him gave a small reminder, Li Xiang immediately knew what to do.
!
"King of Henan, you are really righteous, you should be a role model for us!" After hearing that Li Xiang agreed to send troops, all the princes started to compliment him. Anyway, there was no actual loss for them by saying a few good words.
Yang Jian, Qin Zheng, and Liu Bang are in a bit of a bad situation now. It is not Li Xiang's responsibility to send troops alone. The remaining few of them will also have to send troops together! If it is not in public, it is not good.
If they were to be violent, they would have to stand up and give Li Xiang a hard beating.
"Everyone, it's natural for me and the others to send troops, but it's better for you to just watch like this!" Li Xiang's voice rang out in the tent again.
"I wonder what the prince needs me to do?" For some reason, Fan Zeng instinctively felt bad.
"Of course we can send out troops, but these days we and several other lieutenant generals have suffered heavy losses. I hope you princes and generals can provide some support!" Li Xiang smiled lightly and answered Fan Zeng's question easily.
It is of course possible to want them to send troops, but just a few of them have strong cavalry strength. But Li Xiang's words also show that a few of them can send troops, but other princes can not send troops, but they must draw a general
.
Moreover, what Li Xiang said is right. Qin Zheng and Liu Bang are local princes in Youzhou, and Yang Jian and Li Xiang are the two most powerful princes. When fighting, they will be specifically targeted by the other party.
of?
Therefore, the losses of their generals were indeed higher than those of others. Especially Li Xiang and Qin Zheng, they were the two princes who suffered the greatest losses in generals.
"What the King of Henan said is that for the sake of the righteousness of the world, it is of course our duty to send troops and so on. However, there is a real shortage of generals in the army. I heard that the two generals Longqie and Yingbu under the command of the King of Jiaozhou are brave enough to be worthy of all men.
This time the army is leading the way out of the fortress!"
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Yang Jian, Qin Zheng, and Liu Bang were all bright-eyed. At the same time, Liu Bang was the first to launch a counterattack against Fan Zeng.
Judging from the current situation, under the pressure of righteousness, these princes are determined to send troops, but they can never let other princes feel comfortable like this, and they have to drag these princes into the water at least.
In the past two days, Liu Bang had learned a lot about the situation of the Xiang family from Liu Yu, and he immediately named the two most important generals of the Xiang family.
