Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 672 The wind is blowing!

This is a war that breaks out suddenly at the wrong time. Unless there is a huge decision-making error, there will be no winner in such a war.

When Gongsun Zan was angered, he launched an attack brazenly, playing into Yuan Shao's hands.

Although Yuan Shao did not expect to defeat Gongsun Zan in this battle, it was equally satisfying to let Gongsun Zan cause a wave of relatively large losses and then severely disgust him.

Gongsun Zan was astride a white horse, and the white horses like dragons and clouds were passing by at high speed from both sides. Gongsun Zan originally wanted the white horses to protect the infantry and let the infantry charge forward, but there was a mistake in his order. Yi Cong launched an attack directly.

Then what greeted Yi Cong on the white horse was a wave of rapid and rapid arrows. Almost instantly, the man was on his back, and the white horse was stained with red blood.

Fortunately, the white horse Yi Cong were all elite soldiers. When they received the order to go up the mountain, they realized that something was wrong. When attacking, they followed the usual attack style of passing through the flanks layer by layer.

The loss was not huge. The white horse was extremely fast. It also fired a hail of arrows and then retreated from both sides of Yuan Shaojun. Its body was so flexible that it was hard to imagine that it was riding on a horse. It was completely the legendary realm of man and horse.

Gongsun Zan's heart was dripping with blood as he looked at the white horse lying on the ground. The white horse's righteousness was his life and his spirit. The last time it was Zhang Jiao who broke up the white horse's righteousness, he was so devastated.

It was not until the reconstruction of Baima Yicong and the death of Zhang Jiao that he regained his courage. Now that he saw hundreds of Baima Yicongs dying just from one encounter, Gongsun Zan found it difficult to accept it.

Yuan Shaojun was also a little hard to accept. In their opinion, the results were too small.

Regarding the battle with Gongsun Zan, Hebei Civil and Military Affairs had already deduced countless times, and the final conclusion was the same. If Gongsun Zan's cavalry could not be defeated, the war would be impossible to win!
Especially the elite white horse Yi Cong who has fought hundreds of battles. If he does not defeat the white horse Yi Cong, he will not be able to chase down the defeated troops if he wins. If he fails, he will not be able to escape to survive. If he wants to change his formation and attack the flanks, he will not be able to return to defense quickly as the white horse Yi Cong.

Although a white horse cannot attack heavy infantry and heavy cavalry head-on due to its mobility and combat effectiveness, it is everywhere, like gangrene in the bones, making people extremely annoying.

Yuan Shao was in charge of the central army, but he was not proficient in the art of commanding troops, so he only watched to boost morale, but did not speak to influence. Hebei's generals led their own troops, while Qu Yi stared at the criss-crossing white horses. , holding the sword tightly in his hand, restraining his killing intent.

Now is not the time!
Qu Yi is not only good at training to build a strong army, he is a near-perfect general who observes battlefield timing extremely accurately and knows exactly what he is going to do next.

He has thousands of Xianden and Euphorbia soldiers in his hands. These are elites trained with all the efforts of Hebei. He wants to use these soldiers to open a grand road out of Hebei.

After the stimulation of Baima Yicong's casualties, Gongsun Zan finally regained some sense. Every time he faced Yuan Shao, he seemed to have lost his mind. The mental pressure Yuan Shao brought to him was too great.

Both Gongsun Zanfang and Yuan Shaojun's attacks were very restrained. The cavalry of both sides were always trotting on the flanks to prevent the other side from attacking. Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other Hebei four pillars were constantly changing positions, but Baima Yicong was really too powerful. I'm flexible and can't find any opportunities at all.

When Ming Jin withdrew his troops, Gongsun Zan's army suffered heavy casualties, and Yuan Shao's army also suffered heavy casualties. The two armies faced each other not far apart, and each tightened their camps. Tens of thousands of people stretched across the land of Jizhou.

When the people from Hebei returned to the camp, several people saw that Yuan Shao was in a good mood, so they asked what happened. Yuan Shao waited for them to ask questions, so he smiled and said: "Although we have not accomplished all the work today, Gongsun Zan has indeed not exceeded his expectations." My prediction is that our army will definitely win this battle, doesn’t this still make me happy?”

Everyone recalled Yuan Shao's extremely sharp evaluation of Gongsun Zan that day. It was very unpleasant, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was really true, especially today in front of the battle, he was still so angry that if it weren't for the bravery of Baima Yicong, Youzhou The iron cavalry is indeed indestructible, and I am afraid that they will suffer a huge defeat today.

Yuan Shao saw everyone laughing loudly, and the solemn look on the battlefield just now was swept away, and he turned to sigh with emotion: "But this Youzhou cavalry is really brave. If we in Hebei have such elite cavalry, we can really dominate the world." .

I don't know where Lu Bu has gone. I haven't seen any letters coming in these days. "

Apart from tactics outside the battlefield, Yuan Shao had two means of defeating Gongsun Zan. One was the strong army trained by Qu Yi, and the other was Lu Bu, whom no one knew about.

Hebei does not have such a powerful cavalry in a short period of time, so it can only borrow them.

Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is no less elite than Gongsun Zan's Youzhou Iron Cavalry. Under a sudden attack, they will definitely achieve great results.

As for where Lu Bu is now?
He was still on his way on horseback.

Entering Jizhou from Jinyang, Bingzhou, Lu Bu came with all his cavalry. Between Bingzhou and Jizhou lay the Taihang Mountains. The accessible roads were relatively fixed. In addition to avoiding those mountains that were difficult for the army to march, there were also Try to avoid being noticed by Gongsun Zan.Lu Bu and the entire Bingzhou attach great importance to this battle. This is the first battle that Bingzhou will show in front of the Central Plains princes. Whether Bingzhou can become famous in front of the Central Plains people depends on the outcome of this battle.

The army led by Lu Bu is the elite of the entire Bingzhou, including all the fierce generals under his command. I am afraid that even Yuan Shao did not expect that Lu Bu would use such a large force. This was completely aimed at annihilating the entire Gongsun army. Come.

More than [-] cavalrymen and [-] to [-] war horses were galloping on the avenue. The scene was very shocking.

Yuan Shao asked Jushu again: "My lord, is there any problem with the supply of grain and grass?"

Jushou replied: "Don't worry, my lord, there have been no natural disasters in Jizhou in the past two years, and the grain harvest is abundant, which is enough to supply the needs of the army. Even if Lu Bu's more than [-] cavalry come to Jizhou, they can supply it on time.

The one who should be under pressure is Gongsun Zan. Youzhou is not a grain-producing area. If he competes with us like this, he will be the one who cannot survive in the end. "

Yuan Shao heard the words and said with a smile: "The purpose is to make Gongsun Zan feel the pressure. He has an impatient personality. I am afraid he will not be willing to retreat and will definitely seek a decisive battle. That will be our opportunity."

This is a plan that was planned before to use food to weaken the enemy, and everyone is convinced that this is Hebei's natural advantage. With more food and more people, the consumption can also kill you, a border warrior.

……

While Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were at war with each other, the war between Liu Bei and Cao Cao also gradually began.

The two sides highlight a different frequency, and the difference between the two is still very big. Cao Cao now has a relatively complete political team under his command.

There is no shortage of counselors or generals. The military commanders are naturally mainly his clan brothers and people like Xu Chu. The counselors include the Yingchuan people at the beginning and the Yanzhou gentry when he developed in Yanzhou.

The Yingchuan people have Xun Yu as their leader. Although Yingchuan is just a county, the Yingchuan people seem to be everywhere in the world, but mainly in the big group of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Xun Yu brought many talented people from Yingchuan to Cao Cao. These advisers each had their own strengths and formed Cao Cao's adviser group.

The Yanzhou people took Chen Gong as their leader. Chen Gong fell in love with Cao Cao at first sight and believed that Cao Cao was a great hero. Cao Cao could benefit from Yanzhou Chen Gong's contribution.

Chen Gong himself is also a first-rate strategist. Among the people of Yanzhou there is also Cheng Yu, a strategist who looks quite gloomy. However, Cheng Yu is relatively withdrawn by nature and is not gregarious among the people of Yanzhou. Naturally, he is even less likely to join Yingchuan. Among the people, Cao Cao liked Cheng Yu quite a lot and thought that Cheng Yu was quite consistent with his own ideas in many aspects.

Liu Bei has many generals under his command, but he lacks a lot of counselors. There is too little talent in internal affairs, military strategy, strategy, etc. There is no need to be too anxious about internal affairs in the short term, but in terms of military strategy and strategy, They are all necessary for fighting.

Han Xin is the master of military strategy and the pinnacle of the war-strategy faction. Look at these two words, one of the key words is "strategy"!
The ability to command troops is very important, and strategy is the means to bring out the ability to command troops. Generally speaking, generals who command troops have the ability to strategy, but compared with those professional counselors, they are definitely lacking.

If he is not a god like Han Xin, then the general will usually be paired with a counselor who serves as an external brain. The counselor will make suggestions, and the general will decide whether they can be implemented.

Liu Bei's current subordinates are quite lacking in this kind of external brain. When they fight a war with a relatively small number of enemies with ten thousand people, they will naturally be unfavorable. But now there are only thirty thousand elite soldiers. What about the auxiliary soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers who cooperate with the elite soldiers? How numerous are these armies as logistical armies?
If all these complicated matters were handed over to the General Commander, it would definitely distract him greatly.

Being able to handle tens of thousands of people eating, drinking, eating, drinking, and various emergencies is an extremely powerful ability. This is why Liu Bang's ability to command an army of one hundred thousand is already quite remarkable.

Liu Bei led the Qingzhou Army into Yanzhou from the Qingzhou border. Cao Cao also led the army to fight. The distance between Qingzhou and Yanzhou was close, and it did not take long to march to reach them. Besides, except for a small number of mountains, these two areas were mostly covered. Some areas are quite flat and are rich grain-producing areas, the most prosperous place in the Central Plains.

Although Jizhou is the first of the nine states, Yanzhou and Qingzhou are not broken, especially Yanzhou is not very empty.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei got acquainted because of their time as King Qin. Cao Cao felt quite emotional that Liu Bei had gained such power so quickly, which made him a little envious.
