At the end of April, 50,000 hu of new wheat in Donglai arrived at Mengjin Ferry on time. Countless Henan refugees who were recruited as temporary servants were happily pushing the cart, pulling the tow board, and even carrying nothing. They only used their shoulders to carry the heavy wheat millet for fifty miles... For them, the heavy thing was not burden, but hope, and they were willing to stay away.

There were two battalions of Liaodong Bailang Army, five hundred infantry (including auxiliary soldiers) and five hundred cavalry (including followers).

The first batch of reinforcements from Liaodong have arrived.

In mid-May, in the main hall of the temporary General Guard’s Mansion, a group of generals and counselors who were enough to turn the world in Luoyang were gathered: General Guard’s General Ma Han, General Guard’s General Jia Xu, General Guard’s General Guo Jia, General Wu Shi Huang, General Wu Meng Duwei Guan Hai (leader in reinforcements), General Wu Zhui, General Chelang’s General Zhou Cang, General Hulang’s General Han Xi, etc.

This is the first military meeting of the White Wolf Army in the first year of Jian'an. The first issue of Ma Han was to inquire about the four generals Xu Huang, Wu Zhui, Zhou Cang and Han Xi. After nearly four months of rest, the training of the new recruits and surrendered soldiers, morale and morale.

Xu Huang, who had the highest official position, stood up and reported: "Report to the general, the last general has 1,500 soldiers, 1,500 soldiers, and 500 auxiliary soldiers; every three days of training and every five days of training, the morale has stabilized, and the morale has been restored, so you can fight!"

Zhou Cang stood up the second time and reported: "The last one thousand soldiers guarding the pass are 700 soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers are 300. Our White Wolf Army doesn't need to say much, they are all good men, and those white-bo-submitted soldiers... Hehe, they are also from the same origin as me, Old Zhou, and have long returned to their hearts. I dare not say anything else. When I go to the battlefield, I don't speak, and no one dares to turn around."

The Baibo Army is a branch of the Yellow Turban Army, and Zhou Cang was born in the Yellow Turban Army. It was perfect for him to rule the surrendered soldiers of Baibo. "I didn't say anything, and I dared not run away" sounded nothing, but if I thought about it carefully, I could figure out the true meaning of it - to win without being confused, and to defeat without being defeated. Being able to do this can already be called an elite soldier.

Wu Zhui and Han Xi's answers were just right, but they also illustrate the problem best: "I forgive my previous crimes and can eat and wear well. All the soldiers are grateful to the general and are willing to die."

Well, in this day and age, as a thief who is labeled as a rebellious soldier, he will be forgiven and provide food and clothing, and he will definitely work with you wholeheartedly. In this era, the hearts of the lower class are so simple.

"If the food and fodder are sufficient, the morale of the army will be stable; if the soldiers are full of food, the morale will be raised again. If the general has these six thousand elite soldiers in his hands, there is great potential." Guo Jia made a summary as if he guessed the intention of Ma Han's discussion.

Including the newly arrived reinforcements in Liaodong, Ma Han had more than 6,000 troops. Among them, more than 2,300 Bailang Army and 4,000 Luoyang New Army (including Bai Bo, Xiliang surrendered soldiers and some newly recruited soldiers). The 300-story boatmen and boatmen were cut off, and the military power available in Ma Han was no less than 6,000. Among these 6,000 soldiers, one-third were the White Wolf Infantry and Cavalry, which had been highly trained and brainwashed, and were remarkable in both loyalty and combat quality. Another third was Bai Bo, Xiliang's old soldiers and powerful soldiers who had been through battle formations. These arrogant soldiers were like a double-edged sword. They could kill the enemy if they were used well, but they could hurt themselves if they were not used well. Ma Han transferred food and troops to maintain food, and used soldiers to defend them with soldiers, and had carrots and sticks. Then there were famous generals and generals to train them, which basically smoothed out the Maos of these guys.

The remaining one-third are auxiliary soldiers, craftsmen, medical workers, and errands. Although these auxiliary soldiers cannot be put into the battlefield of real swords and guns, they are indispensable components of any army.

With a full plan, Ma Han had 4,000 soldiers to fight at this time, but after being divided into the six passes of Luoyang, no more than 2,000 people could gather and put them on the battlefield at one time. With the auxiliary soldiers, 3,000 are the upper limit. The total number of Xiliang troops in Guanxi is only 10,000.

"Do you have any objections to three thousand and ten thousand?" Ma Han pointed his sword at Xiliang for the first military meeting.

It wasn't Ma Han that he was too impatient. Before he could wait for the second or the third batch of reinforcements, he took action. It was actually the Xiliang army. To be precise, Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji's Xiliang counterattack army will never be destroyed. It is always a confidant of Luoyang. In Ma Han's mind, his real opponent is in the north and in the east, and if the few clowns in the west do not solve it, he will not be able to concentrate on dealing with the future strong enemies of the East and North.

From a military perspective, if you annihilate the Xiliang army one day, you can turn your energy to the real enemy one day. From a political perspective, if you deal with the Xiliang army as soon as possible, you will bring great political interests and reputation to Ma Han. Li, Guo, Zhang and others who were used by Ma Han were almost invincible in the eyes of the emperor and the court officials, pressed on a heavy mountain on their heads. If Ma Han overturned it with his own hands, he would erect an unrivalled powerful image in the court. This would be another powerful means for him to control the court with food and a large army.

The first person to express his support was the old subordinates of the White Wolf Army: Zhou Cang, Wu Zhui, and Han Xi.

"Two thousand white wolf soldiers can eliminate the rebels of Xiliang." Han Xi has always been full of confidence in the lord and the White Wolf Army.

"The soldiers I trained may be tied with one-on-one fight, but they will definitely win with a group fight." Zhou Cang's confidence comes from the battle formation training and powerful equipment of the White Wolf Army.

Wu Zhui is the most realistic: "The last general organized the Xiliang surrendered soldiers from his troops to conduct a confrontation drill with the Bailang Army. As General Zhou Lang said, one-on-one, the Xiliang boxing bravery is worthy, and our Bailang Army soldiers cannot gain the upper hand; but they gathered into a formation and had hundreds of people to show off, with more than one bravery, scattered formations, and uneven equipment are not the opponent of our army."

Xu Huang, who also trained Baibo, Xiliang and Bailang, also said a few briefly, but it was the finishing touch: "The last general also imitated General Wulang to hold a three-army confrontation drill. One hundred Xiliang can break three hundred white waves; one hundred white wolf can break two hundred Xiliang. Therefore, the last general believes that it can be fought."

As for Guan Hai, he doesn't care what the situation of the Xiliang army is. Since the lord said he wanted to fight, then fight, no matter whether you fight one or three or ten thousand.

The general's statement has been completed, and the following is the time for the counselor to speak.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia are both top strategists in the Three Kingdoms, but the focus of their strategies is different.

Guo Jia is good at macro planning, strategic deployment, the general trend of the world, the response, development, planning of the enemy's forces, and the combination of politics and military. For example, whether it is feasible to go to war with the Xiliang Army this time, I need to ask his opinions.

In addition to strategy, Jia Xu is better at implementing specific tactics. Such as calculating the mentality of the enemy generals, estimating the enemy's movements, and then placing troops and setting up an ambush to annihilate the enemy. He can formulate a very specific and highly operational combat plan. In later generations, it is a talent for the chief of staff - don't think that Jia Xu is just a stalker who wields the goose-feather fan. In fact, he served the most and longest in the Xiliang Army, such as the lieutenant and the cavalry commander.

The reason why Ma Han appointed Jia Xu as the general of the military advisor was such an intention - at critical moments, Military Supervisor Jia was able to command the army to fight as a general.

Guo Jia focused more on political influence. Regarding this battle, he believed that political nature is far greater than military nature, so he only said one sentence: "The Western thieves will not be destroyed, and Luoyang will not be at peace."

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "It's not a three thousand to fight ten thousand, but a three thousand to fight six thousand. Xu asked to go to Hongnong to persuade Zhang Ji to watch the wall; in addition, his subordinates already had plans, and if Guo Duo (Si) dared to act rashly, there would be an unexpected disaster."

Ma Han looked at the most powerful poisonous man in the Three Kingdoms and nodded, "In this way, this battle has more chances of winning..."

At this time, the guard reported that Feiyan Ling's cavalry sent a secret letter to Ma Yuntu.

Ma Han took apart. He looked at it with only one glance, raised his eyebrows and laughed, and stood up suddenly: "With this letter, you will add another five-point chance of winning. In this battle, Li and Guo will be defeated, and Xiliang will be destroyed!"

...

The next day, Ma Han went to court and reported the combat plan to the court, which caused an uproar.

The arrogant and arrogant Li Jue and Guo Si have always been a terrifying shadow that cannot be erased in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Luoyang; and the lawless and powerful generals of Xiliang were sharp blades hanging above the heads of the monarchs and ministers of Luoyang. Liu Xie and his ministers had been frightened by the few Western Liang monsters, burning incense and worshiping gods, asking others not to enter the pass... As a result, what they heard now was their general guard who wanted to rush out of the pass. For a moment, the monarchs and ministers of Luoyang could not accept the role of changing from "rescue" to "attack".

"How many soldiers and horses can Ma Jun use?" Yang Biao, the commander-in-chief (the Grand Marshal), was also pitiful. The only one he could command was the only Hu Ben of Fu Wan and his son. The two guards of Yulin were less than 300. He didn't even know how many Luoyang soldiers and horses could be used to meet the enemy.

Ma Han raised three fingers.

"Three thousand?" The person who spoke was Emperor Liu Xie. At this time, the young man who looked like the neighbor's boy was more like the emperor frowned slightly. Although he had seen the detailed combat plan submitted by Ma Han before, he was still a little uneasy in his heart to confirm the data again and hesitated, "Then Li, Guo, and Zhang Sanni's Xiliang army have tens of thousands of troops."

Ma Han looked at the emperor and smiled and said, "Didn't I submit the detailed combat plan to His Majesty yesterday for a review? I have eight points in this battle."

The prince of the Shizhong was dissatisfied and said, "What are the plans? Why not put them out in a blatant manner?"

Ma Han glanced at the prince's servant indifferently: "How can everyone know the military secrets? If the news is leaked, can Wang Shizhong be responsible?"

The prince was very angry and was about to retort, but his sleeve was pulled by Liu Ai on the side. He looked at the other party shaking his hand. When the prince exhaled his anger, he couldn't speak for a moment.

Ma Han bowed to Yang Biao and said, "The combat plan should have been submitted to the Taiwei for review and retained a copy at the Taiwei Office. However, the current court has not been decided and the official office has not been completed, so there may be any mistakes. The fewer fools people know, the better."

Since the emperor knew it, what else could he say? Yang Biao waved his hand: "In extraordinary times, he can only do extraordinary things. Ma Jun can handle it with full authority and act cheaply, and there is no need to report to the Taiwei Office."

Ma Han raised his sleeves and bowed to Liu Xie, who was in charge of the head, and said, "I ask Your Majesty to send an order to remove Li Jue and Guo Si's official titles, and report his crimes to the world. I also sent an edict to the states in Guanxi, declaring that they would only arrest these two rebellions, and the rest would not ask. In this way, I dare to guarantee that within a few months, Li and Guo will be awarded the head and Guanxi will be pacified."

Liu Xie was still a little worried and asked again: "Is this battle really a victory?"

How could there be a definite war in the world that would win a definite war without a fight? But in order to give these kings and ministers who were tortured by the people of Xiliang, Ma Han was only short of slapping his chest: "I will win!"

In late May of the first year of Jian'an, the Luoyang court issued an edict to the world that all the mighty soldiers of Luoyang were raised to combat the rebels Li Jue and Guo Si, and all the princes in the world should fight against them together.

The sharp sword "Holding the Emperor to Order the Defendant" first took two outdated Xiliang thiefs to test the blades, which was indeed very useful. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
