"As expected of Zhang Wenyuan, he is of great use."
After 40,000 Zahu were defeated by Zhang Liao with one move, the battle lost its last trace of suspense. Wang Yu's attention was diverted from the battlefield, and he sighed similar to Gongsun Zan.
It's just that Gongsun Zan's sigh was purely an expression of emotion, while Wang Yu's sigh was for a more practical purpose - he wanted to evaluate the performance of the generals in this battle and then make post-war strategic arrangements.
Although this battle was a complete victory, it was still far from Wang Yu's goal. Gongsun Zan's Youzhou army was almost crippled. Although it was convenient to completely bring Youzhou under his control, the price was too heavy.
After recovery, this remnant army should still be able to be used as a border guard and continue to guard the border. But according to the current situation, no matter how fast the recovery is, in the next few years, the Youzhou Army will only be able to defend half of the border.
Youzhou or even a smaller area.
In other words, if Wang Yu wants to sing a triumphant song and return to Gaotang to prepare for the next war in the Central Plains, he must leave a force of troops and a general in Youzhou to garrison him.
Wang Yu originally liked Xu Huang.
In fact, the generals who accompanied the army north were all chosen at the moment. Taishi Ci bravely defeated the three armies, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, and was invincible. Although Wei Yan was young and had not read many books, he had innate intuition in the art of war and was very capable in
In a complex situation, he quickly grasped the key points; Yu Jinzhi's army was rigorous and the defense line he deployed was watertight; Zhao Yun's ability to command light cavalry was even beyond the reach of Wang Yu himself.
But if we only talk about the overall situation and the ability to command large corps, Xu Huang is still the best. He also has strong decisiveness and is most suitable as a general of the front army to garrison the border fortress.
However, there are several problems with this.
The Taishan Army is mainly infantry. Although Xu Huang is very good at running and attacking, this method of warfare is too dangerous. You can take some risks once or twice and fight by rushing. If you do this every time, it will be easy for the enemy to figure out the routine and target it.
.In addition, infantry is infantry. No matter how hard you try, you can't race with the cavalry.
As long as the IQ of the barbarian people is better than that of a dog who remembers eating but not fighting, and remembers the principle of not fighting head-on with the Taishan Army, the Taishan Army who stayed at the frontier will repeat the mistakes of its predecessors, be led by the nose by the opponent, and be completely contained
live.
When the pattern of the Central Plains is gradually becoming clearer and a war in the Central Plains may break out at any time, placing the main force like the Taishan Army in a thankless frontier is undoubtedly a huge waste of combat power.
In addition, among the several units of the Hussars, the Taishan Army has the best adaptability to the terrain. The Yulin Army is highly dependent on military formations. Although it is powerful when deployed on the plains, once it reaches Jingzhou or Huainan,
In a place with many mountains and rivers, it is really difficult to say how much combat power can be exerted.
In the future war, Wang Yu plans to use the Taishan Army as the main army. It will probably be responsible for the strategy in a certain direction. How can he be willing to leave it in Youzhou?
Besides, Wang Yu never liked passive defense.
The Xianbei people were defeated miserably in this battle. Even if they were ignored, there should not be any trouble in a short time. However, Wuwan and Zahu still have strength. Tadun and Yan Rou are not stupid, and they won the battle.
After hearing the news, they should withdraw from Youzhou as soon as possible, recover for a while, and then join forces with Xianbei. They can pull out a hundred thousand troops at any time to cause trouble.
This time, the Hu people were somewhat arrogant after defeating Gongsun Zan, and they had no experience fighting the Qingzhou Army, so they were killed in rivers of blood. Next time they will definitely learn better and resume their old guerrilla warfare.
, the war will continue in Northern Xinjiang, and there will be no peace. It is uncertain whether we can retreat at the critical moment of the Central Plains War.
Wang Yu has not forgotten that Xu You is not dead yet.
This man did not have much attainments in military strategy, but he had extensive interpersonal relationships in the Central Plains, many sources of intelligence, and a thorough understanding of the situation in the Central Plains. Under his guidance, Hu Renruo was determined to carry out the harassment war to the end.
I have to say it is a nuisance.
Therefore, Wang Yu thought that after taking this trip, he might as well get relief once and for all.
Offense is the best defense.
Before the war, he had considered this issue. Although he did not spend too much energy. After all, the main issue at that time was to repel the Xianbei army first, but he already had a basic outline. Seeing Zhang Liao's performance today, Wang Yu
Then I suddenly remembered that there is really no more suitable general than Zhang Liao to fight Liaodong. In history, wasn't he the one who defeated Tadun and defeated Karasuma in battle?
I had never thought before that it was because Zhang Liao had always regarded himself as a guest general and had never exceeded his duty as a personal guard and deputy general. Wang Yu was not sure whether the opponent had reached the heights in history.
Moreover, Zhang Liao joined the army too soon and is not very familiar with the people and things within the Hussars, which will obviously affect his performance.
The decisive move in this battle was the Yellow Turban Warrior. Wang Yu did not tell the generals clearly, but except for Zhang Liao and Lu Qiling, all the generals vaguely guessed the truth. Especially the Taishan generals, Li Le, who was always impulsive and belligerent,
He has been staying by Wang Yu's side since the beginning of the war, and he is not anxious at all, because he knows very well that when he appears on the stage, it will be the most glorious moment of this battle.
But Zhang Liao knew nothing about it, and Wang Yu couldn't explain it.
He is a prince, so he can't act like a magic stick and tell Zhang Liao that he actually knows the magic of immortality, can spread beans to make soldiers, summon heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, etc. He usually behaves very easy-going, but after all he still can't do some things.
, otherwise it would not be as simple a problem as being a human master.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Liao later took the initiative to issue orders, asked his colleagues to cooperate, launched and led the pursuit in an orderly manner, which is remarkable.
Especially when Wang Yu saw that Zhang Liao deliberately let go of the leader of the Chinese army without receiving instructions from the Chinese army and only pursued the other tribes with all his strength, he almost cheered for the opponent's attack.
Killing generals and seizing flags makes them invincible; making decisions in battle, avoiding dangers and seeking advantages. Military generals who are accomplished in these aspects can be matched with brave generals and wise generals. If we can build on this foundation, we can also take into account various factors outside the battlefield, and use them to
A general who makes the most appropriate instructions based on this can be called a famous general.
This is what Zhang Liao is now.
Murong Feng ran away, and he ran very decisively. Due to the battlefield situation at that time, the hussars could neither catch up nor mobilize their troops to pursue him.
If you ignore it and attack Kuitou with all your strength, you may be able to capture the thief and capture the king. However, in that case, when Qianman, Kuitou, and the central and eastern Xianbei tribes all suffer heavy casualties, the situation in the grassland will evolve into
Murongbu's family is the only one in the family.
For the entire Xianbei tribe, this defeat was certainly traumatic, but for Murong Feng, it was an excellent opportunity to integrate the tribe. If he took advantage of this opportunity to ascend to the position of chief chanyu, he might be able to
It is more difficult to deal with than the previous leader. In a war, it is not only useful to have more soldiers. The best way is to give orders from above and below, and everyone to focus their efforts in one place.
You know, this tribe’s surname is Murong!
During the Five Husties in Central China in later generations, the Xianbei people were not the first to go south, but they were the absolute main force. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty alone, the Xianbei established seven countries including Yan, Qin, Liang, and Northern Wei, among which
The most famous ones are the Murong Tribe who established the Former and Later Yan Dynasties, and the Tuoba Tribe who established the Northern Wei Dynasty and ruled most of the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River.
Wang Yu was not very interested in the history of wars between barbarians in that chaotic and dark era, but he would not underestimate his enemies. He could stand out among the barbarians and make a comeback after the fall of the country he first established.
, the cohesion of Murong Department is evident.
Of course, after more than a hundred years, the current Murong tribe has little to do with the Murong tribe in the Jin Dynasty, and it cannot be discussed one and the same. However, based on the principle of leniency to the enemy, Wang Yu still does not want to see the Murong tribe integrated into Xianbei
, echoing the Wuwan people from east to west, launched an attack on Youzhou.
Zhang Liao's strategy suited Wang Yu's plan.
If the leader is let go, it will not be so easy for Murong Feng to ascend to power. Especially when the southward expedition fails and there is no way to seek outside help, the Xianbei who have just united will inevitably fall into a situation of killing each other again. On the one hand, they want to compete for power;
What is more important is the competition for limited survival resources.
In this battle, Wang Yu did not take the lead as in the past. After all, the scale of the war was too large, and personal bravery could be completely ignored. On the contrary, the risks were much greater. Although he liked taking risks, he would not make mistakes due to small mistakes.
Big, take unnecessary risks.
Therefore, he felt that he had the advantage of being a bystander. Seeing Murong Feng's actions of rising first and then suppressing, he quickly realized what the other party was up to.
But Zhang Liao was always in chaos.
Ordinary people in his position would not even have time to struggle to save their lives. How would they have the mood and ability to observe the entire battle situation? Even if they did, how could they possibly think so clearly about the causes and consequences in such a short period of time?
As expected of Zhang Liao!
After much deliberation, Wang Yu could only express his feelings in the same words.
Without the advantage of the prophet, and using this advantage to conquer the Qingzhou territory, integrate resources from all parties, and build a powerful hussar army, Wang Yu believed that in a head-on confrontation under fair conditions, he would probably not be Zhang Liao's opponent.
Fortunately, that's just a hypothesis.
The fact now is that the powerful army he created once again defeated hundreds of thousands of Hulu with a small number, and won another glorious victory.
The balance of the world's general trend has tilted to my side again!
As night fell, the large-scale pursuit of 100,000 people continued. The visibility could no longer meet the needs of combat, but the soldiers still had high fighting spirit, and the night could not stop their rainbow-like momentum at all.
The wind carried the thunderous shouts of killing into Wang Yu's ears, making him slightly drunk, and then his pride suddenly arose.
With so many generals under his command and countless strong soldiers, what reason does he have for not carrying out the war in Northern Xinjiang more thoroughly and completely eliminating the smell of nomadic barbarians?
That's right, I won't let this victory be the end, this is just the beginning! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
