Chapter 397

There are not too many people who learn from history and learn from the regular war meetings, but only a handful of people who can taste their own set from the records. It is like a general learning the same military book. Their tactics will have their own characteristics. Then, reading the same book is also good or bad.

The state of Han can withstand consumption. In fact, as long as it does not consume a large number of people, Liu Yan is happy to give some people the opportunity to grow. Then it is worth studying how to allocate the troops of Xu Zheng and Yuan Qiao's battle plan.

"I'll send you two another 20000 guards." Liu Yan looked at the two people with great joy on their faces and encouraged them: "do a good job!"

According to Yuan Qiao's plan, the situation of Zhao Jun in Shijie will not change greatly in the short term, whether it is a real defeat or a fake defeat. The war in Yanzhou has been sawing back and forth for nearly two years. One thing will be regarded as a habit for a long time. The Han army suddenly erupted, and even if the enemy is defensive, it will certainly be irresistible.

"With an additional 20000 forbidden guards sent by the king, this strategy must be more smooth!" Xu Zheng had to cheer up. There was no better force in the Han army than the forbidden guards. The forbidden guards always carried out the generals meticulously. Even if they encountered sudden or dangerous situations, they would not cause chaos. They all fought hard to the end: "Sir, when will the forbidden guards arrive?"

Liu Yan glanced at the eager Xu Zheng, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "it can be collected in five days."

Xu Zhengyi patted his forehead. He just forgot that obscure thing for a while. For many years, no one understood how the elite appeared, and the rapid increase of troops was definitely far beyond imagination.

Yanzhou is going to have a game in winter. Liu Yan simply decided to stay for a while.

When the kings of the Han Dynasty went on patrol, they were accompanied by at least 10000 troops. Coupled with the corresponding attendants, the whole team was actually close to 20000 people. Not to mention the fact that there were local garrison troops along the way, they would also be escorted in the territory under their jurisdiction. It was not difficult as long as they wanted to know.

Yuan Qiao made some adjustments to the plan. That was because the enemy must know Liu Yan's response to his arrival in Jibei county. He even said privately to Xu Zheng that Zhao Jun was worried that Liu Yan would not move when he mentioned Shijie, but he could not criticize Liu Yan's behavior.

"This worry is absolutely necessary." Xu Zheng thought for a moment and said tentatively, "otherwise... Ben will talk to the king?"

Xu Zheng really dared. He went to Liu Yan to raise his concerns directly, but did not disclose that it was yuan Qiao's idea.

"Simple." Liu Yan is not without relevant consideration, said: "send out 10000 troops to disguise as the forbidden guards, and the king chariot of the widows will leave."

The king has the king's flag, and the disguise is within the Han territory. Even if the enemy has spies, they don't dare to get too close. They can only look from a distance and report any doubts when they see the movement of the king's chariot and the king's flag.

If Shijie and Zhao Jun were really exercising their strategy, they would not let their long-term preparations go down the drain. They would try it according to the original plan, but they should be more cautious.

After learning Liu Yan's reaction, Yuan Qiao said to Xu Zheng with emotion: "I'm really a kind man."

That is, Xu Zheng's character will be careless and run to say those words with Liu Yan, but Liu Yan will follow good advice. Yuan Qiao is from the south of the Yangtze River. He has long been used to the Procrastination of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and likes to play tricks with a little identity. He is very quick to decide something in the Han country. In fact, he still can't adapt to it.

As expected, after Wang Nian and Wang Qi left, Shijie Zhao army attacked again on the third day. The Han army fought back against Shijie Zhao army and retreated after a short meeting. The Han army pursued and encountered the ambush cooperation of Shijie Zhao army. However, when the Han army killed nearly 2000, Shijie Zhao Army retreated again, and the routine remained unchanged.

"The enemy made it too obvious." Liu Yan spoke to Wang Meng and said, "it's certain to raise the enemy's arrogance, but I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Wang Meng can only say that he knows a little about the military, but he is not good at it. He can't say anything, but he has to talk. He can only say: "my sergeant is energetic, and there is no shortage of food and supplies."

Apart from the pursuit of merit, whether an army has food and whether damaged weapons, armor and instruments can be supplemented in time are the key.

There was no problem with the logistics of the Han army. If you were a general, there was really nothing more comfortable than fighting with the Han army. Soldiers who were brave and had a strong desire to fight did not have to worry about logistics. The leader can concentrate on the enemy wholeheartedly, and the odds of victory should be increased by one or two points.

Liu Yan did not interfere with how Xu Zheng and Yuan Qiao wanted to fight, but it was impossible for him to be a pure spectator. For example, Xu Zheng and Yuan Qiao brought people and said that there was a major military situation to report.

"The villain is Dou Chong of the Dou family in Yan County. Before Mr. Wang came, he had sent someone with a Book of allegiance to serve the king." Dou Chong's age looks like he should be in his fifties. He looks a little ugly, but he has obvious bookish spirit. After entering the account, he immediately obeyed and reported his source. Then he said, "recently, the villain learned that a large number of Zhao troops crossed the river from Yanjin and drove straight to Jijin and wenshijin. I'm afraid the king didn't know to report."

Liu Yan did not speak, but looked at Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng looked at Yuan Qiao again and motioned for yuan Qiao to speak.

"Tell me the king." Yuan Qiao's etiquette was never less. He said, "Mr. Dou is not an example. He has more intention to tell me to my big fellow squire."

Those who gain the Tao help more than those who lose the Tao. That's what I said? Those who want to tell their own side within the enemy's territory will report the detected movements of the enemy. This is tantamount to having more eyes and being able to better control the war situation.

"Mr. Dou, please get up first." Liu Yan looked at Dou Chong, who looked very restrained, and asked, "how many people cross the river and hide in Shijie, how many horse troops, how many soldiers, and how much food and supplies?"

"This..." Dou Chong, who had just got up, knelt down again and said in a slightly frightened way: "tell the king, the people only know that there are a large number of Zhao troops... No, it is Shijie crossing the river. They only know that the number of people is huge, but they don't know the number, nor how many horse troops, soldiers, food and supplies."

Liu Yan looked at Yuan Qiao and asked, "do you have some detailed information?"

Yuan Qiao also kept the salute posture, looked at Dou Chong kneeling on the ground without leaving a trace, looked at Liu Yanshi and said respectfully, "go back to my king and be careful to explore."

Before talking about business, Liu Yan first comforted Dou Chong, praised his heart to his place without being rude, and implicitly mentioned that he would take good care of it. If he made meritorious contributions, it would be based on military achievements. Waiting for Dou to rush back, he thought with his chin in his hand.

"The minister has repeatedly asked the squires who came to report, and consulted the time when they wrote the letter before. It doesn't rule out that there is an enemy's strategy, but..." Yuan Qiao didn't dare to say death, but only said his own guess: "I'm afraid it's Shi Xuan's guess that the king didn't go and adjusted his strategy."

Liu Yan understood that it was going to be staged again. Like many war cases in history, it was found that the enemy king was on the front line with the intention of encircling and annihilating. If Zhao Guozhen in Shijie found that Liu Yan did not leave, they would really cross the Yellow River to the south bank, and would never give up the hope that they could win the national war by killing the snake head.

"Isn't Shi Xuan old?" In fact, Liu Yan just asked. He already knew what he should know. He continued, "who is helping him fight?", The latter sentence is also nonsense that must be asked.

"The main auxiliary ministers are Li Tu, Zhang jackal, Wang Lang and Wang Hua." Yuan Qiao gave a general introduction to the past of these people, which may not be detailed but can give a general idea, mainly about what important achievements and origins they had. After his introduction, he paused and waited for Liu Yan to digest almost before he continued: "the mobilization of the army must be invisible. If there is a big action, it will soon show clues."

What is worth pondering is how many people in the enemy territory really want to tell themselves whether the information reported is accurate and credible, which will largely affect the response.

"This area is close to the state of Xiang and Yecheng. King Zhao wantonly built palaces and searched for beautiful women. He was really harmed." Yuan Qiao is an eloquent person. When he introduced the scene they met when they first came, he had to mention the tragic situation of hanging himself in the roadside woods, The people who hid saw the Han Army coming and rushed to defection: "today alone, there are 70000 defectors we gathered, most of whom were sent to Yuzhou for resettlement. Even if it was a legitimate battle, there are still people coming to defection."

Liu Yan didn't quite understand what yuan Qiao meant in order to express the people's wishes, and he didn't have to ask about things such as beware of spies. As a king, asking too detailed is tantamount to distrusting his officials and workers. He believed that Xu Zheng and Yuan Qiao would have relevant preparations, or they would not be sent to Yuzhou first, not to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.

"If it is confirmed that the enemy is crossing the river on a large scale..." Yuan Qiao saluted Liu Yan deeply and said cautiously, "please also think of the country and the country.". It means that Liu Yan should not risk staying on the front line and leave quickly.

"Yes, my Lord." Xu Zheng didn't have so many twists and turns. He said bluntly, "the king is not afraid of them, but he still puts his own safety first for the sake of the big man."

"Few soldiers in the army know that the king is still in the barracks." Yuan Qiao may be to reduce Liu Yan's concerns and said: "there is no shaking of my military heart after the king's departure."

According to Liu Yan's real idea, he still hopes to stay, but many times his identity has changed. He really can't be capricious. If he doesn't like it, he should obey the overall situation. He obeys good advice and says that he won't increase pressure on Xu Zheng and Yuan Qiao. Naturally, he will leave the front secretly.

"This..." Yuan Qiao understood Liu Yan's words and advised: "there are many places for the king to patrol..."

Liu Yanli was depressed at the moment. He couldn't even stay behind the battlefield?
