Rebirth of the Southern Barbarian Meng Huo

Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army only faced each other but did not fight.

In terms of the number of sergeants alone, Yuan Shao naturally has the upper hand. One hundred thousand sergeants can form two large battle formations, and there are countless small battle formations.But Yuan Shao was afraid of Cao Cao's second-level battle formation and never dared to push too hard.

The reason why Cao Cao did not take action was because his second-level battle formation did not come with the army at all.Meng Huo has left, but Meng Huo's most capable elites are still in Xudu.Cao Cao believed that only by refining the Imperial Seal could he possibly get rid of Meng Huo. Meng Huo's death would be the moment when he would truly fight Yuan Shao.For this reason, Cao Cao returned to Xudu.

While the armies of Cao and Yuan were confronting Li Yang, Meng Huo had already gone down the river.After more than a month of familiarity, the [-] sergeants have adapted to the bumps of the giant ship and no longer feel uncomfortable as before. Of course, they are still far behind the formation of troops on the water.Fortunately, this trip does not require water combat.The destination of this trip to Menghuo is to go to the sea, enter the Bohai Sea along the river, and then land in Qingzhou, pointing directly to the North Sea.

When the army set off, a thousand sergeants at the bottom of the cabin all exerted their strength, and suddenly three hundred large ships sailed down the river, as fast as sharp arrows.

On the bow of the leading ship, Guo Jia finally asked his doubts: "My lord, why did the Hulao Gatekeeper obey our orders and build such a huge ship for us?"

Meng Huo did not hide anything, and said bluntly: "Su Da is a southern barbarian, you tell me why."

Guo Jia could only sigh: "My lord, you are so far-sighted." Guo Jia realized that even he couldn't see through Meng Huo, and he didn't know how many back-ups Meng Huo had.

In fact.This was Meng Huo's back-up plan. Zhang Shiping and the Su family brothers were already giant businessmen in the north. They not only secretly developed the dark lord organization, but also gradually penetrated into the military and political affairs in recent years.Su Da was fond of martial arts, and it was not easy for him to become a local garrison with his financial resources.But building huge ships and developing water power was Meng Huo's long-standing plan.Now, in order to get deep into Yuan Shao's rear, he took this out and showed it to the world.

"Fengxiao, how about handing over the command to me in this battle?" Meng Huo said to Guo Jiada.Although Meng Huo was familiar with history, Meng Huo himself could charge into battle and plan such things.It would be most appropriate to leave it to a counselor.

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, but after thinking for a moment, he asked: "What is the purpose that my lord wants to achieve in this battle?"

Meng Huo smiled, Guo Jia lived up to his reputation as a genius, and he hit the mark.In this battle, Meng Huo went straight to Yuan Shao's rear.To attack an unprepared enemy by surprise, Beihai is within your grasp, but how to capture Beihai is another matter.

"Elite teacher." Meng Huo said.

Guo Jia nodded and said: "I will live up to my lord's expectations!"

When thirty giant ships were about to sail out of the river mouth, Meng Huo called for Xia Mou and Gao Shun and ordered: "This battle will be commanded by Feng Xiao on my behalf. You all must obey Feng Xiao's orders."

Xia Mou and Gao Shun nodded in agreement. As generals, they were more concerned with charging into battle, and who commanded them had little to do with them.And they also knew Guo Jia's talent, so they felt relieved.

"Dian Wei. Just go with me."

Meng Huo and Dian Wei disembarked at the mouth of the river and headed for Beihai via Anle and Linzi.The two men had a small target and would naturally not attract attention. The army continued to go to sea and go deep into the Bohai Sea, avoiding Anle, Linzi and other places, hoping to appear directly in the Beihai.

Three days later, three days after Meng Huo and Dian Wei left, thirty giant ships approached the coast of the North Sea, and one hundred thousand soldiers quietly disembarked under the cover of night.

Xia Mou and Gao Shun only thought that after landing ashore, they would attack overnight and kill the Beihai County Guard, but Guo Jia actually said to them: "The sergeant has been bumping on the boat for many days in a row. We are exhausted, so we will rest for the night. After dawn, Don’t worry about it anymore.”

Gao Shun exclaimed: "Sir, why are you like this, running all night, maybe we have captured Beihai County at dawn."

Hearing this, Guo Jia shouted: "Listen to me, or are you stupid?"

Gao Shun wanted to say something else, but Xia Mouze quickly said: "Yes!" and dragged Gao Shun away.

Just after leaving Guo Jia's tent, Gao Shun shouted: "Xia Mou, why are you stopping me?"

Xia Mou said: "My lord has already given instructions before leaving, leaving the war to the command of Guo Fengxiao. With my lord's wisdom, I am afraid he has already expected it. Moreover, Guo Fengxiao is a genius in this world. He will never make mistakes. We just obey orders."

Gao Shun thought about it and felt that Xia Mou's words were reasonable, and Xia Mou once took the title of Zhiru. Although he was now known as the greedy wolf general, his intelligence was by no means inferior to him.

But the development of the matter was beyond Xia Mou's expectation, and Guo Jia actually made a mistake.When it was daylight, Guo Jia immediately ordered the two generals to kill towards Beihai.It's just that the march is on the main road, and no one is avoided at all.

For a time, everyone in the Beihai Navy saw this [-]-strong army.

How can 10 people acting together compare to the fast riders responsible for delivering the message?

Almost when the [-]-strong army was halfway through, news reached Beihai County.

Beihai would not have been easily acquired by Yuan Tan. This had a lot to do with Kong Rong's missteps.

Kong Rong's administration of Beihai was originally very popular among the people.It was only after Guan Hai's incident that Kong Rong finally understood what to do in troubled times.Although Guan Hai was finally blocked by Meng Huo and killed by Guan Yu, from then on, Kong Rong vigorously developed military affairs.The changes in governance before and after Kong Rong were so huge that the subjects could not adapt to them for a while. In the end, they felt that Kong Rong was no different from other princes.

Yuan Tan took this into account, so when he came to kill him, there were not many people who helped Kong Rong. In the end, Kong Rong had no choice but to flee for his life, and his wife and children at home were also killed by Yuan Tan's hands.

After Yuan Tan occupied Beihai, he appointed himself the governor of Beihai. In the past two years, he had managed well. Although there were some irregularities in the family, it was still stable.

Yuan Tan is still secretly wondering when he can take over the entire Qingzhou from his father, and Mu Qingzhou can inherit the great cause as the eldest son in the future.

But before his sweet dream could begin, he suddenly heard that Meng Huo, the national advisor, had a hundred thousand troops descending from the sky and were heading towards Beihai County to kill him.

Hearing this, Yuan Tan almost lost his soul. Who was Meng Huo? He was a national master. It was rumored that he had a second-level battle formation under his command. How could he fight this battle?

Without saying a word, Yuan Tan retreated and left.

And Yuan Tan's subordinates are not without capable people. Wang Xiu, who once served Kong Rong and later surrendered to Yuan Tan, is one of them.

Wang Xiu is also unique. Whether he is following Kong Rong or Yuan Tan, he does not obey his master at all, but considers the people and is quite prestigious among the people.

Now that the Meng army is approaching, the people will suffer no matter what. Even if Meng Huo occupies Beihai, Beihai will definitely become the target of public criticism afterwards. Yuan Shao will definitely send a large army to kill it, and there is no telling how many people will die as a result.Therefore, Wang Xiu stood up and said to Yuan Tan: "My lord, you must not retreat. The invading army of the Meng army must be out of men and horses now, and since it comes so brazenly, it is a great opportunity to annihilate it, which cannot be missed."

Yuan Tan exclaimed: "But Meng Huo has a second-level battle formation."

Wang Xiu immediately said: "The spies reported that Meng Huo did not come personally, and the invading army did not have a red water camp at all. It was just the greedy wolf general Xia Mou and the trapping immortal general Gao Shun. Our Beihai army may not have the possibility of victory. .”

"But..." Yuan Tan still hesitated.

"Young Master, you can't hesitate any longer. If we have the right time, the right location, and the right people, the Meng army has no chance of winning!" Wang Xiu shouted.

Yuan Tan thought about it carefully and felt that what Wang Xiu said was reasonable. After all, he was greedy. If he could really defeat Meng Jun, he would be famous all over the world. Then he would be praised and defeated in front of his father Yuan Shao. Two other brothers.

Then Yuan Tan began to make arrangements. Although there were only [-] Beihai defenders, Yuan Tan felt that it was dawn and the weather was bright, and he was defending the city. One hundred thousand Meng troops might not be able to attack, and there were still a lot of troops. The city's military and civilians are available because of the right time, location, and people.

When a hundred thousand troops arrived at Beihai County, the Beihai moat was full of water, the suspension bridge was raised, and the city gate was full of soldiers.

"How to attack?" Gao Shun asked angrily, standing in front of Guo Jia.It was originally a good sneak attack to capture Beihai in one day, but Guo Jia delayed the opportunity and missed the opportunity.If the attack fails for a long time and they are not allowed to return to the giant ship, one hundred thousand soldiers may starve and suffer from cold.

Guo Jia just said slightly: "Two generals, let's start. Attack!"

"What!" Gao Shun and Xia Mou exclaimed.

Guo Jia shouted: "This is an order!"

Xia Mou also frowned, but he still held back his anger and said, "Master Jijiu, why is this?"

Judging from the expressions on the two of them, I'm afraid they really won't do anything unless they make it clear.

"Who do you think our biggest enemy is during this trip?" Guo Jia asked.

"Yuan... Yuan Shao." Gao Shun opened his mouth, and when the words came to his lips, he turned into Yuan Shao.

"What about after Yuan Shao?" Guo Jia continued to ask.

Gao Shun didn't answer, but Xia Mou said: "Cao Cao."

"What happens after Cao Cao?" Guo Jia continued to ask.

Xia Mou frowned, but Gao Shun said: "After Cao Cao, no one in the world can be an enemy of the lord. By then, I am afraid that the whole world..."

Suddenly Gao Shun stopped talking.

But Guo Jia nodded and said: "Yuan Tan, you're a kid. There is no need to attack him by surprise. If Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and his like are doing this, it might be worth it. If we also attack Yuan Tan by surprise, I'm afraid we won't have an army capable of confronting a powerful enemy head-on." , so this battle is not to kill the enemy, but to train troops. As for how to train troops, it depends on the two generals. I wish you success in training, and it is best to train one or two second-level battle formations!"

"Hiss!" Gao Shun and Xia Mou both gasped, obviously shocked by Guo Jia's words.It turns out that this is Guo Jia's purpose. For the sake of one or two second-order battle formations, Guo Jia is already prepared to make heavy sacrifices.

Knowing that there would be heavy casualties, Xia Mou and Gao Shun could only obey orders. They also hoped to have a second-level battle formation. Whether it was the Greedy Wolf Battle Formation or the Fallen Immortal Battle Formation, they would be the commanders. Once Cheng Yi became a famous general in the world!And as generals, they also understand that the main force on the battlefield in the future will be the second-order battle formation, and a hundred thousand troops may not be able to match a complete second-order battle formation.Moreover, if you want to fight against the armies of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, you must have combat experience. However, their soldiers lack this, and now Yuan Tan has become their whetstone.

Give up sneak attacks and victory, and choose to fight with swords and guns instead of stalemate.This is Guo Jia's strategy for using troops, and it is actually the way the Legalists use troops - train troops on the battlefield where victory is absolute, use all means to win on the battlefield where the enemy is evenly matched, and on the battlefield where victory is impossible...
