Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 465 King Huai, Do Not Compete With Him (220)

On the thirteenth day of the fourth month in the fourth year of the Taichu period, the weather was fine.

The gates of Sihong City were wide open, and teams of elite soldiers guarded the sides to prevent pedestrians and civilians from colliding with each other.

In the outskirts of the city, an army of [-] is ready to send troops.

Many people in the city, as well as the aristocratic families who moved here, also know the news that the king launched an army of 60 to destroy Western Chu.

Many people came to the vicinity of the city gate early in the morning to watch the scene of the army going out.

"What an elite soldier!"

Li Xizong, who had just moved to Sihong, stood at the corner of the crowd, looked at the imposing cavalry in the distance, and couldn't help but praise.

"It is indeed an elite division! I heard that King Huai has millions of soldiers, and the cavalry alone has [-] troops. One hundred thousand cavalry is enough to run rampant in the world!"

A young man beside him also said that this young man is Li Xizong's son, named Li Zuxun.

And Li Zu'e is a brother and sister relationship.

He is mediocre, but he has a good vision, and he can guess the opponent's strength from the momentum of the soldiers.

"It's just that, although King Huai has a lot of troops, isn't it too hasty to attack the Western Chu Army? After all, the Western Chu Army is under the Overlord Xiang Yu, and they are extremely brave!"

As soon as he praised the Huai army cavalry, his expression became a little hesitant and worried.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree!
Needless to say, the reputation of Overlord Xiang Yu, the name alone can make people fearful,

For example, those ten thousand enemies and unparalleled fierce generals often boast of being the reincarnation of Xiang Yu.

For example, Gao Aocao, the fierce general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is known as the overlord alive.It's a pity that the overlord Gao Aocao is alive, after all, he is not a real overlord, and he died in battle without any outstanding achievements.

And the real overlord dared to pierce hundreds of thousands of Han army formations with only dozens of horses...

With such prestige, it's no wonder Li Zuxun was worried.

"How can King Huai not know how powerful the Western Chu Army is if he is as prosperous as he is today? Your Majesty wants to eliminate the threat of the Western Chu Army before the Overlord arrives!"

Li Xizong's ability is the talent of the county, but he has a lot of experience, and his eyesight and experience are very rich.

"Don't look at the 60 soldiers that Duke Huai only dispatched. If the soldiers who transported food and grass are included, the number of troops dispatched by the king this time must exceed one million. According to the rules, it can even be called a million troops, 150 million. The army..."

In history, when many armies go out to war, they always like to exaggerate the number of their own soldiers and horses.

20 bragging becomes 50, 30 bragging becomes 80...

I want to deter the enemy with the size of the army, and create the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.

But the more this is the case, the more embarrassing it will be once the army is defeated.

For example, Yuan Shao's battle of Guandu with an army of 70, Cao Cao's battle of Chibi with an army of 83,
Their real strength is only 30 to [-].

Even if the masters and civilian husbands who escorted the food and grass were counted, it would not reach such a scale.

There is also the Battle of Yiling, where Liu Bei claims to have 72 troops. There are some whole and some parts. At the beginning, Sun Quan was indeed shocked, but his real strength is only [-].

There is not much difference between the soldiers and horses that Lu Xun faced, but in the end he boasted too much,

After the defeat, the Battle of Yiling became a famous battle in history where the less won more, and Liu Bei was firmly nailed to the pillar of shame.

Obviously the ability to lead troops is not bad, but many people say that they don't know soldiers.

"Millions of troops... what my father said is right, the Huai army is so powerful, it seems that my family can live in peace and stability in Sihong!"

Li Zuxun said.

"Well, relying on your sister's relationship, we can be regarded as a firm foothold in Sihong, but if we want to strengthen the family business, we can't rely on your sister's relationship alone! When the next imperial examination, your brothers and other clansmen will all Go and participate!"

"Only when we have authority and an official position, can our Li family truly gain a foothold in Sihong!"

Li Xizong was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"The king has come out!"

I saw six dragon horses pulling a chariot slowly out of the city,

The chariot was not covered with curtains, and the people in the distance could see the king sitting in the chariot.

Next to the chariot were Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang and other university scholars in charge of government affairs.

"Leading the army alone, Sihong will be handed over to you!"

"Mr. Shen and Mr. Wang can discuss ordinary affairs, and report if there are important matters!"

Wang Jing turned sideways slightly, and said to Shen Yi and the others who came to see him off.

During the last expedition to the south, he also handed over Sihong to Shen Yi for guarding.

However, Wang Jing still needed to make decisions on many important matters, and Shen Yi's performance was also good.

This time was the same as last time, Wang Jing also entrusted the important matter to Shen Yi.

The ability and potential of the opponent is far from being comparable to Wang Guangyang and Li Shanchang.

But Shen Yi has followed Wang Jing since the beginning of his career, and is loyal. Such a veteran and loyal minister is the best person to entrust the rear.

"The minister takes orders!"

Shen Yi said respectfully.

"Okay, let's go back! Gu's dispatch of troops this time is aimed at a quick battle, and it shouldn't take much time! By the way, Yangzhou and Jiangnan, don't be careless. If there is any change, report it immediately!"

After Wang Jing said one last sentence, he waved away the crowd.

In this expedition, Wang Jing personally commanded the South Route Army.

Fu Youde was the chief general of the North Route Army.

Except for the generals guarding various places, most of the generals and schools of the Huai Army went out with the army.

……

There are cloud chariots carrying soldiers, and the army marches extremely fast.

Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Cao He and the cavalry from the camp and Bingzhou brought by them also experienced the speed of the cloud car firsthand.

The cloud cart, a sharp weapon for transporting food and troops, can increase the strength of the army by [-]%.

Chen Gong had heard about Yun Che long ago, but he had never seen it before. Now that he saw it and experienced it himself, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and he felt more and more the profound heritage of the Huai Army.

The Pizhou army is still in the stage of expanding its army and training, and preparing to conspire against Xuzhou.The basic disk is not yet stable.

Not to mention the stability of the Huai Army's foundation, it still has the ability to research sharp weapons such as Izumo chariots, bed crossbows, and divine arm bows.

Based on these alone, the gap between the two sides can be seen.

"Duke Huai, don't compete with him!"

Chen Gong secretly sighed.

The only thing that made him fortunate was that the Huai army had no idea of ​​going north to attack Xuzhou.

Chen Gong didn't believe in the covenant that they jointly negotiated in advance, but relied on his understanding of Wang Jing these days, and his deduction of the Huai Army's strategy and expansion direction.

For the princes who want to fight for hegemony, the covenant is just a piece of paper that can be torn at any time.

Wang Jing promised not to attack Xuzhou, did he really not go?
If you really believed in the covenant, with this pure scheming, then Chen Gong and the Pizhou army might as well disperse as soon as possible, so as not to be schemed to death in the future.

From Chen Gong's point of view.

The place where the Huai army really wants to attack is the land in the south of the Yangtze River!
Both Jiangnan and the Central Plains are in the stage of melee, but the Central Plains not only faces other princes, but also faces the prying eyes of Hebei and Guanzhong, and the pressure is too great.

Moreover, Jiangnan is the rear of the Huai army. If the rear is not resolved, how can we go north?
