Zhang Liao, who got the vanguard position as he wished, was naturally overjoyed. After all, this position represents merit.
Seeing this, the others could only retreat helplessly, feeling more or less disappointed, including Yang Ye and Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing's cavalry performance in combat was second to none among the Qin army. Even Bai Qi may not be able to match him. However, the protagonist did not choose him for this operation, which naturally made Huo Qubing feel disappointed.
Qin Hao was so shrewd that he could see Huo Qubing's thoughts at a glance, and immediately said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be disappointed if you don't win the vanguard. What we have to face in this battle is not the princes, but the four kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Yan, and Qi. No,
You will have fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds."
Qin Hao divided this Hebei battle plan into two steps, the first step is Jizhou, and the second step is Qingyou. But now that the first step has not been completed, he has already dealt with the enemies he will face in the second step.
Counted in.
As for the two princes of Liao and Liang, although they were also located in Hebei, Qin Hao never regarded them as opponents. First, they were too weak and were not qualified to be opponents of the Qin army. Second, they had good relations and attracted them to his camp.
It's probably huge here.
"Zhang Liao, you will first lead 80,000 cavalry from Huguan, march as fast as possible into Western Hebei, join Long Qie's 20,000 cavalry, and then together with Long Qe, lead 100,000 cavalry to carry out this plan to raid Jizhou.
.”
As he spoke, Qin Hao showed a serious look and warned: "Remember, your mission is to destroy all the defense facilities on the border between South Korea and Zhao with lightning speed, so as to clear the way for the large army catching up behind us.
Clear obstacles.”
"The general will finally understand." Zhang Liao said solemnly.
Zhang Liao: Commander 97, Force 100 (3), Intelligence 90 (2), Politics 70 (5), Charisma 95 (1); Equipment: Blue Sky Hook Sickle, Green Jin Fei
During these years as a prefect, Zhang Liao's five dimensions have not only reached their peak, but besides the commander, the other four dimensions have also increased slightly. Only the commander is stuck at the 97 mark and cannot even be moved.
.
Qin Hao felt that Zhang Liao's leadership potential was more than that. The reason why it was difficult to improve the commander's attributes was mainly because he was idle. Guarding the rear area was obviously not enough stimulation for him, so how could he improve his attributes?
Zhang Liao has strong abilities and a very calm and cautious personality. Qin Hao is still very satisfied with him, but this time his opponent is also extraordinary.
Although Zhang Liao's mission this time was just to use the speed advantage of the cavalry to conduct a surprise attack and would not stop much, for the sake of caution, Qin Hao still had to provide him with some helpers.
"Where are Zhao Yun, Jiang Song, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Hu Luguang, and Zhang Han?" Qin Hao shouted.
"The end is here?
Zhao Yun and other six generals stood up to respond.
"You and the other six will be temporarily assigned to Zhang Liao's command, with Zhao Yun as deputy vanguard."
Upon hearing this, the six generals couldn't help but look different, especially Hu Luguang and Zhang Han, who obviously didn't expect that they would also be included in the vanguard army.
Bai Qi, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and other generals looked at Hu Luguang and Zhang Han with a scrutinizing eye. They all noticed that their lord valued them.
Hu Luguang and Zhang Han did not perform well before, but during the Qin Army's two-year training period, they led most of the bandit suppression missions.
Although there was peace under the Qin army, there were still bandits in some places, and most of these bandits were soldiers and bandits disguised as soldiers sent by other princes, hoping to curb the development of the Qin army.
These bandits are like weeds. Even if we send troops to wipe them out, they will appear in another place after a while, and they will never be wiped out.
Of course, there were just a few bandits, but they were just plagues and could not shake Qin Hao's rule at all.
The problem with suppressing bandits is that the Qin army was obviously full of famous generals, but Qin Hao left so many famous generals unused and frequently appointed some less famous generals.
The reason why Qin Hao did this was to support those generals who were capable but lacked qualifications to rise to the top. However, in the eyes of other generals, they valued them and trained them with low-level bandit suppression tasks.
Suppressing bandits and fighting princes are obviously completely different concepts.
Although Hu Luguang and Zhang Han had never been defeated in the process of suppressing bandits, they were not that great in the eyes of the veterans, and they could have done the same thing.
Qin Hao obviously knew this and understood that they could not convince the public by just suppressing the bandits, so he specially incorporated the two of them into the vanguard army and took this opportunity to increase their capital in commanding the army.
After a brief moment of surprise, both Hu Luguang and Zhang Han looked happy and shouted: "No."
The voice was so loud that it even surpassed the deputy pioneer Zhao Yun. Those who didn't know it thought it was them, not Zhao Yun, who became the deputy pioneer.
Qin Hao nodded and said, "Where is Guo Fengxiao?"
"Guo Jia is here."
Guo Jia stood up calmly.
"Guo Jia, you are the military advisor of the Pioneer Army..."
"promise."
In this way, Qin Hao quickly prepared the plan for the vanguard army to attack Jizhou.
Pioneer Army Commander: Zhang Liao
Military Advisor: Guo Jia
Lieutenants: Long Qie, Zhao Yun
Generals: Zhao Yun, Jiang Song, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Hu Luguang, Zhang Han
Troop strength: 80,000 Qin Army cavalry, 20,000 Qin Army Ming cavalry
Qin Hao's skill this time was not small. Without the enemy's knowledge, he directly let 100,000 cavalry crush him. There is no doubt that Jizhou will be turned upside down, and this is precisely Qin Hao's purpose.
First, he used 100,000 cavalry to clear the way, and then 500,000 cavalry came forward. Qin Hao wanted to use his absolute strength to let the princes of Hebei understand the gap in strength, and directly crush them with the general momentum.
"Zhang Liao led 80,000 cavalry ahead, and the remaining 270,000 troops, led by Bai Qi, entered Xuzhou in batches as quickly as possible."
With that said, Qin Hao looked at Bai Qi and ordered: "Bai Qi, I have ordered you to be the governor of Hebei. You will be responsible for commanding all wars in Hebei. In case of trouble, you will kill first and report later."
Bai Qi stood up and knelt down, and said calmly: "Thank you for your trust, my lord. Even if I risk my life, I will capture the three states of Hebei for my lord."
"I don't want you to work hard, as long as you come back with a big victory, that's all."
"Dare to disobey orders."
Qin Hao smiled and nodded again: "Gao Chong, Jia Fu, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Qin Yong, Qin Wu, Luo Cheng... Ding Yanping, Su Xian, Cheng Yaojin."
"The end is here." Dozens of generals stood up and responded.
"You and others will be incorporated into Bai Qi's command and obey his orders."
"No." All the generals responded in unison.
"Qi Jiguang, you are the grain inspector."
"promise."
After issuing more than a dozen orders, Qin Hao added: "In this attack on Hebei, I will personally be stationed at Huguan to guard the grain road for the army. I hope you will come back victorious as soon as possible."
"I will definitely live up to my lord's trust." The generals shouted in unison.
