The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Yan Pu went to the Zang Ba Army in Youzhou. The Zang Ba Army will be stationed on the spot, and there will be no major battles. Unless Cao Cao fully attacks Youzhou, the Zang Ba Army will serve as a reserve force and will not be easily mobilized. There is no way. There is not so much food and grass to mobilize.

Chapter 423 Difficulties

As for the Taishici Army hoarded in the Guandu area, Jushou went to sit in the town. If there was no shortage of food and grass, the Taishici Army could have marched from there and directly killed Cao Cao's territory in the abdomen.

Xu Shu will go to Taiyuan's Zhang Liao Army as a military adviser. In this battle, Zhang Liao's Army will bear the brunt.

As for the Huangzhong Army in Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang had been arranged by Chen Ziming to sit in Hanzhong. If there were no accidents, it would not be so easy to attack Yan Yan and Wenpin in Hanzhong.

Needless to say, the Liangzhou Zhao Yun Legion, Tian Feng is very resourceful, not only extremely resourceful, but also has experienced the most wars. When he followed Yuan Shao, he fought countless battles in the South and North. Later, after he joined Liu Bei, he was reused by Liu Bei. He often followed the army to fight east and west. According to discussion, Tian Feng's qualifications are at the top of Liu Bei's counselor group.

As for Xu Sheng's army in the north, Liu Ye was going to sit in the town. Liu Ye's ability is absolutely no problem, especially he has a good understanding of the various ethnic groups in the north. If he goes to sit in the north, it shouldn't be a problem to judge the north.

Moreover, as the No. [-] figure in the Liu Bei Group, Guan Yu had already been brought into Heilongzhou, and began to pacify and appease the local people. It would not take long for the north to settle down.

Of the twelve armies in Liu Bei's hands, only Zhang Ji's army in the rear and Chen Dao's army in Linzi did not have military divisions. Those who go with a specially trained group of advisers must not be underestimated.

Moreover, Chen Ziming wanted to take this opportunity to recruit the staff groups of each legion. They would become the official staff of each legion and improve the combat capabilities of the legions.

"See Prime Minister!"

Chen Ziming led people to Taiyuan Daying Camp, Zhang Liao and others led people to welcome them into the camp.

"How is the current situation, how will Cao Hong's troops be stationed?"

Chen Ziming didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and went directly to the topic.

"Prime Minister, after Cao Hong occupied Shangdang, he built city defenses and spied horses everywhere. His spies were even placed outside my camp. If our army moved, he would definitely know about it." All the spies were arranged at his gate, Zhang Liao Why not depressed.

"Cao Hong ordered [-] soldiers to defend the Shangdang, while he threw the army back to Hangu Pass. If our soldiers attacked the Shangdang, he would immediately throw the army out of Hangu Pass to help." Hangu Pass is only two kilometers away from Shangdang. The distance between Taiyuan and Shangdang is almost the same as that of Taiyuan. Hangu Pass, Shangdang, and Taiyuan form a triangle.

"Thirty thousand troops are enough to defend Shangdang." Xu Shu frowned and said, "If our army attacks Shangdang, they can send troops out of Hangu Pass to echo with Shangdang's defenders inside and outside."

Although Shangdang is important, Hangu Pass is more important. If Shangdang is lost, at most Cao Cao will fail to attack Jingyang, but if Hangu Pass is lost, Cao Cao's base camp will be exposed to the iron cavalry of Liu Bei's army.

"Any news from Jingyang?"

Chen Ziming has been on his way and has not received any news from Jingyang. Jingyang is the key to this battle. If Jingyang is lost, the soldiers led by Cao Cao will definitely attack Liangzhou. Zhao Yun's army alone cannot stop Cao Cao and Qiu Liju from attacking together. .

"Cao Hong blocked the road between Jingyang and us, and it was difficult for spies to pass through. This is the news three days ago. Cao Cao's army was stationed outside Jingyang City. He sent troops to attack Jingyang, but was easily repulsed by General Quyi. After that, he did not receive any news. The news from Jingyang, all the spies who wanted to come to Jingyang were intercepted by Cao Hong's soldiers." Zhang Liao took out the secret report and handed it to Chen Ziming.

After Chen Ziming looked at it, he thought for a while and said: "Although Cao Cao and Qiu Liju are allies, they are not of the same mind. Once Jingyang comes, the two will fight for Liangzhou. The day they defeat General Zhao Yun is the time when they will turn against each other."

"If my guess is correct, Cao Cao wants to use Jingyang to consume Qiu Liju's army and relieve the pressure on him to take Liangzhou." Xu Shu also thought of this, his eyes flashed brightly, and it seemed that the situation was not as bad as imagined.

"Shangdang has been lost, and Jingyang has lost its meaning..."

On the way here, Chen Ziming has been thinking about this issue. Although Jingyang is important, because Shangdang has been lost, that is to say, the road between Liangzhou and Bingzhou has been cut off, Jingyang has actually lost its value.

"Find a way to send people to order Jingyang to guard Qu Yi, if it is impossible, abandon Jingyang, lead the troops to Liangzhou, and return to General Zhao Yun." In the end, Chen Ziming decided to abandon Jingyang. According to the current situation, Jingyang can't be defended at all. , and has already lost its function, why let the [-] soldiers guarding the city lose their lives for a dead city that has no effect.Especially Qu Yi, a strong general, would be at a loss if he hangs in the meaningless Jingyang.

If the city is lost, it can be brought back. If a person dies, they are gone, let alone one Jingyang, even if they exchanged Qu Yi's life for ten Jingyangs, Chen Ziming would not do it.

"Give the order to Zhao Yun and Tianfeng, don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. If Cao Cao's army comes to attack, if you can block it, block it; if you can't block it, abandon it."

"As for the Xianbei soldiers and horses, they must stand firm and not let the Xianbei army ravage Liangzhou. If there is a chance, they can wipe out the Xianbei soldiers and horses, even if they give up Liangzhou."

Liangzhou is the domain of the great Han. Although there are many foreigners living there, the Han people still make up the majority. If the Xianbei soldiers led by Qiu Liju enter Liangzhou, the poor soldiers of Xianbei who have never seen the world, the people of Liangzhou will suffered a devastating blow.

But Cao Cao is different. Cao Cao has the ambition to rule the world. The people of Liangzhou are his people and his help to rule the world. Even if the enemy becomes bigger, he is not willing to let Qiu Liju occupy Liangzhou and make Liangzhou's life miserable.

"This is also the meaning of the emperor..."

Chen Ziming was in charge of the war in the north, and he controlled the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Hanzhong. He had the final say on how to fight. Even if they were all withdrawn from Hanzhong Liangzhou, there was no need to send someone to ask for Liu Bei's opinion. This is Liu Bei. Give him power.

"Your Majesty is merciful."

Everyone understands the meaning of it, and the protection of the people of the Han Dynasty is more important than anything else. This is their Son of Heaven.

"We must find a way to break through the current predicament." Chen Ziming frowned and thought, Shangdang lost, Jingyang also gave up, then they and Liangzhou will cut off the geodetic, with Cao Cao's means and strength, Zhao Yun and the others can't stop it at all Cao Cao's edge, failure is a matter of time.

Hanzhong is also facing the same situation. It’s okay to lose Liangzhou and Hanzhong, and it’s just a matter of defeating them. However, if Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Tian Feng and other top talents die, the loss will be great.

Moreover, there are many second-rate and third-rate talents, which are not very prominent in the Three Kingdoms where all the evildoers are full, but in other dynasties, they are all important ministers protecting the country, and their talents and abilities cannot be underestimated.

Chapter 424 Elite?

"Wen Yuan, immediately dispatch [-] elite cavalry and dispatch them after listening."

After listening to the latest information, Chen Ziming began to plan for future wars.

"Prime Minister, our army has [-] fine cavalry, and we can accept the prime minister's military orders at any time." Zhang Liao assured.

As a legion in the north, cavalry is indispensable. The entire Liu Bei Group, each legion is equipped with a corresponding number of cavalry, but cavalry is a real noble force, and war horses are too difficult to find, and the battlefield is also very expensive. The Liu Bei Group, which controls the north, can produce so many cavalry.

Zhang Liao's army is okay, with 1 cavalry, like Xu Huang's army in Xuzhou, which only has more than [-] cavalry. As for Huang Zhong's mountain army, there are less than [-] cavalry, which is enough for patrolling or sending orders. .

"No need." Chen Ziming shook his head and said, "I want the most elite five thousand cavalry, and it's useless if there are too many."

"Ziming, when are we going to march!"

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the big tent. After Zhang Liao and others heard it, they hurried out to greet him.

"The final general will see General Zhang!"

The person who came was Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's third younger brother, and the nominal commander of the Liu Bei Group Army, that is to say, Zhang Liao and others were all under Zhang Fei's command.

But it was only in name, Zhang Fei could not mobilize Zhang Liao and others without the transfer order of Liu Bei and the military department, nor did he have the right to appoint or revoke generals of various armies.

But who said that he is the emperor's third younger brother, and his force value is frighteningly high, so it's not good to be ignorant of manners.

"There's no need to be too polite." Zhang Fei waved his hands carelessly, looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Hahaha, Wen Yuan, did Zi Ming ask you to go out together?"

"Go to war?" Zhang Liao was puzzled. Chen Ziming came to lead an army to go to war. Zhang Fei asked what this meant. Could it be that Chen Ziming didn't take him and his army to go to war.

"Third brother..." Chen Ziming shook his head helplessly, and then said to Zhang Liao: "Because our army is short of food and grass, we cannot support the large army to go out, so I decided to send some of the elite to go out. Stay put."

"Prime Minister, our army is all elite..." Zhang Liao hastily called for a battle. This was a rare opportunity. Following Chen Ziming, he was not afraid of losing meritorious service, and Zhang Liao had confidence in the troops under his command.

"Elite?" Zhang Fei quit after hearing this, and scolded loudly: "There is my old Zhang's elite black dragon rider, and my old Zhang's black dragon rider is invincible in the world, and Ziming only draws five thousand riders... that's all... "

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei looked dissatisfied. The Black Dragon Legion, the first heavy armored cavalry established by the Liu Bei Group, is also the only heavy armored cavalry now. It has been stationed near Linzi and is led by Zhang Fei. More than 1 people are composed of elites selected from various legions.

Originally, Chen Ziming wanted to build a few more of this kind of heavy cavalry, but unfortunately the heavy cavalry has too high requirements on horses and people, and the cost is too high. Look at the Black Dragon heavy cavalry led by Zhang Fei, there are more than 1 cavalry, and the logistics personnel reach There are more than 3, and they are still deployed without participating in the war.

"This..." Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Zhang Liao had nothing to say. The Black Dragon Rider followed Chen Ziming. Zhang Liao knew that he thought it was Liu Bei who sent him to protect his subjects, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Fei. The fierce general personally commanded, and there were as many as five thousand horses.

"Old Dian, Wen Yuan doesn't seem to be convinced by the cavalry we brought..." Zhang Fei yelled fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and fell down upon hearing the sound, a mighty and strong man came striding forward, The corners of Zhang Liao and others' mouths twitched.
