Chapter 231 Military Advisor Xun You
Zhang Chun's destruction was beyond Guan Hai's expectations. He originally thought that at least they could last until they met.
Of course, it is impossible to go to meet up. According to the original plan, they will probably stop near Youbeiping.
The plan is to attack front and back, rather than joining forces. The pressure brought by the enemy from both sides is often much greater than that of head-on combat.
At the same time, if you encounter any problems, it is much easier to go your own way.
"Military advisor, should we continue to advance or start returning to the army?" Guan Hai returned to the camp. This time he did not look for Yang Jun, but for Xun You, the military advisor who accompanied the army.
This time, the follower of the army can be regarded as a letter of fame. Whether it can be reused depends on this time.
I didn’t have any chance to perform in Bohai County before. What Xun You needs now is to fully demonstrate his talents.
"First of all, we need to know the specific process of Zhang Chun's defeat to measure the degree of threat to the enemy." Xun You did not give a direct suggestion, but first needed to understand the situation on the front line.
"In our team, there are some people from Yuyang County who can let them try to go over and inquire." Guan Hai did not comment on this, but he was also a little curious about why Zhang Chun was defeated so quickly.
"Secondly, our cavalry does not have many, but there are many infantrymen. Infantry can be gradually recommended, and the cavalry is looking for fighter jets on the periphery. Our number is above them, so we must make full use of this advantage." Xun You spoke again.
"Indeed!" Guan Hai and others nodded. Although many of them were recruits, their morale and cohesion were not good, if they acted separately, they would be easily defeated by each one.
Especially the cavalry charge, even if you know that there is nothing to be afraid of when light cavalry charges. However, thousands of horses rushed towards you, and soldiers who are not used to it are likely to panic. Once the battle formation loosens, you may be driven straight into the opponent.
As morale collapses further, a defeated army occurs, and then an avalanche effect occurs, and it is only a matter of time before a complete defeat is finally completed.
As long as the thickness of the battle formation reaches a certain level, not to mention the opponent's 1,000 cavalry, even 5,000 cavalry may not dare to charge.
After all, once a horse loses its speed, such a cavalry is not as good as an infantryman.
As for the other party's riding and shooting, Guan Hai was not so worried. After all, when he went north, the leader had already thought of this situation, so he sent someone to send secret weapons. As long as the other party dared to stop and shoot, it would cause the other party to bleed heavily!
"As for the other party refuses to start a war, we don't have to be polite. The city can try to surrender first, and if you don't surrender, you will be able to attack the place. As long as the degree of loss increases, the other party will always be unable to resist fighting!" Xun You added, "We need a small-scale victory to consolidate the morale of the army!"
Since Zhang Chun was defeated, the main force of the enemy should be there, not here.
Since this is the case, you can try to fight with the other party, weaken the other party and consolidate the morale of your own army.
Especially the degree of recognition is very difficult to improve.
"The scope is not only for Yuyang County, but also for Guangyang County! If Ji County is in danger of being surrounded, the other party will definitely go to war with us in full!" Xun You concluded, and after saying that, he retreated obediently.
"Indeed, if you sit down and watch the Mucheng in Youzhou be captured or even killed in order to protect yourself, it will definitely have a great blow to their morale. Not to mention that Liu Yu is a relative of the Han Dynasty and is considered Liu Chong's brother. There is no reason why Liu Chong can sit still." Yang Jun nodded.
At the same time, I sighed that the military advisor sent by the leader seemed quite capable.
In terms of making suggestions, his level can only be said to be just a good deal, or both civil and military officials are just a good deal, or it can be said to be a little ordinary. Only logistics management is the main reason for the sensitivity of numbers, and he is still confident.
Since he does not have this ability, he will not come forward unless there is no way to make any suggestions.
He is a principle of dealing with things and being low-key.
To say that Xun You is capable is not to say that his plan is very good.
The words I said can only be said to be in a normal way, or even a bit "ordinary".
The main thing is to consider Xun You's age. At the age of thirty-one, his personality has begun to tend to be steady.
However, as a newcomer in the army, especially those who need to prove themselves, they often talk big. They must keep military tactics like "Sun Tzu" in their mouths. They make suggestions for a long time, and they will be confused when they hear it, as if everything is in their own hands.
Yang Jun has no favoritism at all for such a person. If the army makes suggestions, unless it absolutely controls the situation, a little mistake may cause a significant loss.
On the contrary, Xun You's situation is practical and practical, and this is the kingly art of war.
I guess Liu Chong didn't expect that he was just planning to slash the morale of the thieves, but he didn't expect that the thieves would quickly start to conquer the city and start to siege the ground the next day.
"The thief is afraid that he will leave, but he doesn't want to return empty-handed and plans to make a fortune before leaving." Zhu Yan analyzed. The thief's actions are indeed a bit of a tendency to do so.
This also means that yesterday's call was indeed effective. The other party no longer had a reason to stay in Youzhou, so it was reasonable to withdraw the troops.
"Just letting them rob the place is not a solution... Otherwise, don't wait for Gongsun Zan..." Liu Chong suggested. The main reason is that he has been hanging on the periphery, which is too bad.
It’s like a nanny or a mother. She has to look at the naughty naughty children and prevent them from being in trouble, and she can’t let the other party leave their sight. The biological mother can’t do it without regrets, let alone the two parties are still in a hostile relationship.
"We need a few tests..." Zhu Yan thought for a while. The big battle was not good, so he had to wait for Gongsun Zan and the others to come. However, it is okay to harass him on a few small scale, but he can't make the other party so unscrupulous.
"I'll command the troops!" Liu Chong immediately expressed his opinion.
"No, Your Highness needs to be dispatched in the middle!" Zhu Yan certainly did not allow him to do this, "Just be responsible!"
"General Zhu, you can't do this!" Liu Chong complained, "You are here to do anything, I can't practice it well!"
"Then..." Zhu Yan also had a headache. His Majesty gave him an edict to make him the deputy general. In fact, it also meant to supervise and underestimate Liu Chong, but it was mainly to avoid Liu Chong from doing anything.
If Liu Chong goes to war and kills himself, then His Majesty must settle the score with him.
Besides, after getting in touch with Liu Chong during this period, how can he not know what level he is?
He could barely control this army when he died, but in order to fight, he had no level at all.
I have read several military books, but I can't do it by applying what I have learned. It can only be said that the previous victory made him find some confusing confidence.
Unfortunately, what I fear most is that war is too confident.
The Baibo thieves were not ordinary rebels. They had organized and planned to quickly sweep Bingzhou and Jizhou, and then settled in Pingyuan County.
Some people in the court have already suspected that they have something to do with the Young Marshal of the Yellow Turbans.
Chapter completed!
