I’m The King Chapter 479: :A lofty strategic concept
Dark clouds overwhelmed the sky, the biting cold wind came from the north, and the military flags were blown to the sound of hunting. It had already turned into a yellow prairie, and an army was walking on it.
It's almost home, how can you be unhappy?
This army was the Eastern Expedition Army commanded by Zhou Yu, who defeated Zhou Yu by the Dayan Lake. After the battle, thousands of enemies were left behind. After a while, they didn't think too much about themselves, and let them go. On the vast prairie, Gao Yuan, who had thousands of cavalry, wanted to drive Zhou Yu to death. It would not be difficult, but because of a deeper strategy After thinking about it, Gao Yuan gave up the idea of killing Zhou Yu.
Now Dayan is riddled with wounds, internal troubles are endless, and foreign enemies have arrived. Gao Yuan himself is not ready to face these foreign enemies, so Zhou Yu can only let Zhou Yu escape, let him escape first Let's prop up this corrupt Yan country, and I have to take a breath before I can recover.
During this journey, Bu Yifang Luofeng Luolei, Hao Lianbu Hao Lianpo and others led the way, and several Xiongnu tribes took refuge in Gaoyuan, especially the Haolian tribe. Death is not enough to defeat Wei, the previous great reputation is still somewhat useful to some small tribes, seeing that the Haolian tribe has taken refuge in Gaoyuan, these small tribes have nothing to say, once the tents are closed, the bedrolls are carried, and they ride horses, After driving the cattle and sheep, they followed.
These small tribes vary in strength. Some could produce one or two hundred cavalry, while others could only produce a few dozen strong warriors. However, they managed to get Gao Yuan more than a thousand cavalry. Although the result of taking in more than a thousand cavalry is to bear tens of thousands of Xiongnu women and children. But Gao Yuan is still very happy, what is the difference between Jishi City now. Police! As long as there are people, more fields can be reclaimed, and more cattle and sheep can be grazed, and only if there are more people. In order to collect more taxes and support more troops, the population base determines the strength of the Eastern Army in the future.
Compared with some soldiers in the mainland, the soldiers of Liaoxi County are much braver and better at fighting. However, over the years, the strength of Liaoxi County has not been ranked even in the country of Yan. why,? It is because Liaoxi has been fighting for years, the population is sparsely populated, and the land is sparsely populated. A large number of fields were abandoned, and Zhang Shouyue was having difficulty raising military expenses to support the army. If it weren't for this, he would not have been able to impress Zhang Shouyue easily and get him the exclusive privilege of specializing in liquor in the whole county.
It's a pity that Zhang Shouyue, such a hero, died at the hands of his son. It's a pity that Zhang Shubao, who can be regarded as a tough man, was plotted against by his elder brother, and Uncle Lu, General Victory, They should have lived a good life, but because of Zhang Junbao's selfishness, they have all returned home now.
Tan Feng and Zhou Yu can't kill them yet, but Zhang Junbao must catch them.
With a bang, a large drop of water fell from the air, just hitting Gao Yuan's face. He stretched out his hand, and seeing some more rain fell in the palm of his hand, Gao Yuan turned his head to Sun Xiao beside him and said, "I want to rain It's raining, order the whole army to set up camp!"
With an order, the grassland immediately became busy. White, gray, and black tents were set up on the grassland. In a short while, a large-scale camp was formed. You know, now Among this team, there are only more than 10,000 people who can go to the battlefield to fight, but there are tens of thousands of Hun family members who came with the army, which is a huge number.
The Xiongnu tribes gathered by Gao Yuan were basically severely injured in the last war. Among the tribes, there were very few strong and strong, and most of them were old and weak, women and children.
Although the Xiongnu tribe who came with the army have lived in tents all their lives, they are incomparable to the soldiers of the Eastern Conquest Army at this time. Together, each performed their duties, and in an instant, a tent was erected. Compared with their speed, the Huns were as fast as turtles.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the heavy rain was about to fall in a blink of an eye, Gao Yuan smiled and said to Sun Xiao: "Tell our soldiers, go and help these people, so as not to be drenched in the rain later, if you get sick , but big trouble."
"Understood!" Sun Xiao smiled. There are so many Huns in the army, but they are still somewhat on guard against each other. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they can also narrow the distance between the two sides. Sun Xiao knows that Gao Yuan's long-term plan is to integrate and assimilate these Huns, and completely integrate them into the large group of the East Conquering Army. Let's start with these small things.
Soon, the Huns were surprised to see that the soldiers of the Eastern Zheng Army who had set up their tents ran towards them, took the wooden hammers, ropes, and tents in their hands, and began to help them. The few young men in the tribe who were sweating profusely from their busy schedule cast grateful glances at these aliens. With their manpower, it is indeed difficult to resettle these family members before the heavy rain comes. They have already planned to be exposed to the rain, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.
On the prairie, there is a lack of medical care and medicine. If you are sick, most of the time, you will be resigned to fate. If you survive, you will be lucky. What's more, most of the current tribes are old, weak and young. Once they get sick, their chances of surviving are even lower.
When the heavy rain finally fell and turned the entire grassland into a rainy curtain, the team had already entered the tent.
Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on the felt blanket, with a map spread out in front of him, and around him, He Lanxiong, infantry, Sun Xiao, Meng Chong, Zheng Xiaoyang and others sat around.
Because a large number of Huns came to vote, Gao Yuan temporarily adjusted everyone's duties, and He Lanxiong was transferred to command the Hun cavalry who had just returned, with He Lianbo and Luo Lei as his deputy. These people have the same origin and are easier to get close to. However, He Lanxiong's original cavalry battalion merged with the cavalry led by the infantry and was led by the infantry. Although these cavalry were also dominated by the Huns, they had been attached to the Eastern Conquer Army for a long time. Basically, they have been integrated into the Eastern Expedition Army. For the infantry, these people are very respectful and will not have any other thoughts.
As for the infantry, the 6,000 troops were re-divided into three armies, still with Sun Xiao, Zheng Xiaoxiang, and Meng Chong as the acting commanders of the three armies, and Naha, Xu Yuan, and Yan Haibo as deputy commanders.
"This place is not far from Jishi City. It only takes two days for the cavalry to arrive, and ten days for the infantry. If you count the old and weak in the army today, there are still so many Wounded soldiers, I'm afraid they need twenty days." Gao Yuan stared at the map for a while. Although Jishi City had made all the preparations before leaving, Gao Yuan was still a little worried. Zhou Yu dispatched 10,000 people to intercept him. In that respect, whether Jishi City can be kept, even he himself does not have much confidence.
Shaking his head vigorously, Gao Yuan drove this thought out of his mind, forcing his mind to return to the present moment.
"Today, I summoned you here to share my thoughts on the next step!" Gao Yuan drew a circle on the map with his finger, and said, "Jun Zhang of Liaoxi has passed away, and the elite soldiers of Liaoxi are no longer here. , It can be said that now Liaoxi is unprecedentedly empty. Although the Yan army still has tens of thousands, it is impossible for them to stop in Liaoxi County. In my opinion, Zhao Guo will never let go of this good opportunity. The four cities we recaptured two years ago, they must take them back, because these four cities are a strategic node between Yan and Zhao, once they **** these four cities, they will turn their attention to Yuyang, so the court must If you want to send heavy troops to Yuyang, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will go somewhere."
"This is also the reason why I don't want to kill Zhou Yu." Gao Yuan glanced at everyone.
"That's why the general wants to take Liaoxi!" Meng Chong laughed.
"Yes, I want to take Liaoxi. If Zhang Junbao is still there, I have no face to take it, but since Zhang Junbao and Shubao are gone, there is nothing left to be polite about Zhang Junbao. We can Justifiably, under the banner of clearing the door for Zhang Junshou and avenging General Shubao's revenge, he marched into Liaoxi County." Gao Yuan sneered, "As for Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, after this battle, they should be thinking about how to make peace with me .”
"What if Tan Feng and the others don't want to hand over Liaoxi and defend Liaoxi with their troops? Shall we fight them again?" Meng Chong was a little worried.
Gao Yuan shook his head, "Zhou Yu, Tan Feng is not that stupid. They fought me to death here, but on the other side of Yuyang, the army of Zhao State swarmed in, and Yan State was in danger. I am afraid that in their hearts, At this time, I am just suffering from scabies, while Zhao Jun is suffering from a confidant."
"If they want to negotiate a peace~IndoMTL.com~ we want West Liaoning, Hejian!" Sun Xiao excitedly said.
"No, only Liaoxi!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his fingers, "The appetite is too big, it will be overwhelmed, not to mention, there is only an empty shelf left in Hejian, you can take it whenever you want, don't It scares people."
Everyone burst out laughing, "Maybe when Yan Shenghao is frightened, maybe he will obediently come to seek refuge by himself. At that time, it will save trouble."
Gao Yuan chuckled, "Taking Liaoxi, our name is justified, but if we ask for Hejian again, then it will really confirm my reputation as a traitor. Now, I don't want to wear this hat, Lu De is one step away Let's go, we have to eat one bite at a time, take Liaoxi first, but if Yan Shenghao is really willing to come to join us without fear, we might as well accept it quietly."
"In this way, our Eastern Expedition Army not only has a vast grassland as a back garden, but also has the strength of the two counties of Liaoxi and Hejian, plus the Langya County of the general's father-in-law. In this country of Yan, the general can It's half the family." Meng Chong clenched his fist and waved it in the air.
Everyone is staring at the map. This is a huge territory. If you count the vast grassland, the territory that the East Conquest Army can control is much larger than that of Yan. Of course, the population is too small. .
