Chapter 687 Reorganization of Cavalry
Is the land of Hebei important? Of course it is important!
Emperor Guangwu took over the land of Hebei. Before the world was in chaos, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fell in love with Hebei at a glance. He said: "I occupied the Hebei in the south, blocked the Yan Dynasty in the north, and also the Rongdi people.
Going south to compete for the world, can we help?" Cao Cao actually wanted to Hebei at that time, but Yuan Shao asked him this, could he compete with his elder brother for territory? So he had to say: "I am responsible for the intelligence of the world and use the Tao to control it.
"It's all right." He said beautifully, but it's not the truth. Later, as soon as he destroyed Yuan Shao, he moved his base to Yecheng, where Yuan Shao had run for many years, and never moved his nest again.
Jizhou is a Xiongzhou in the world, with Taihang in the west, Yanshan in the north, the sea in the east, and the river in the south. It has abundant people and strong strength, so it is of course an ideal place for separatism.
But is this enough? Of course not enough!
Hebei is strong, but strategically, it is very unfavorable. If it is an enterprising regime, based on Hebei's strength, it can be expanded in four ways, but if a declining regime is trapped in Hebei, it will be attacked from all sides, and sooner or later it will be a defeat.
What's more, it also involves moving the capital. Today, Chang'an has been lost, Luoyang, Xuchang and Qiao County are all in Henan, and only Yecheng is left in the Great Wei Dynasty. Wouldn't it be lost all face? Then the land will be lost.
There are still people's hearts. Originally, he was the strongest among the Three Kingdoms, but now he retreated to Hebei and is satisfied with separatism. Who else would believe that the Great Wei is orthodox?
The worst strategy is absolutely not feasible, and Cao Rui dare not do such a gamble.
Cao Rui hesitated between the top and the middle strategy. The problem is not the other. But Xiangyang, Fancheng is too important. There is a prerequisite for Sima Yi's strategy to succeed, that is, after Shu Han obtains Xiangyang, Sun Quan will threaten Shu Han because of Shu Han.
His survival changed his mind. It is indeed possible that Sun Quan attacked Guan Yu for this reason. Once the Wei army retreated, the pressure faced by Sun Quan and Li Yan became smaller, and the conflict between them would become larger and turn
It is not impossible to kill each other.
The question is, will this situation definitely happen? If it doesn't happen, wouldn't Xiangyang and Fancheng be lost in vain? Xiangyang and Fancheng be lost. How could Wancheng be defended just? The situation will soon evolve into
A big bet on the worst.
Zhongce seems to be the safest, but this is a great test for the national strength of Wei. The army has been in a long stalemate. It requires a large amount of food and grass to consume. Spring is coming soon. If spring cannot be plowed in time, there will inevitably be famine in autumn.
.What makes Cao Rui even more troubled is that if he is trapped in Nanyang for a long time, what should he do if the war in Jianghuai is unfavorable and the retreat is cut off? Hebei is not a peaceful place, it is one of the most concentrated places for aristocratic families. If it is lost
Direct control, God knows what those people can do. If Hebei is in chaos, the world will be in chaos.
Cao Rui did not answer Sima Yi immediately, he wanted to weigh it carefully. Sima Yi was not surprised and said goodbye calmly. When he returned to his camp, Sima Zhao immediately came up and asked impatiently: "Father,
how?"
Sima Yi glanced at Sima Shi sitting in the tent, took off his helmet and handed it to Sima Zhao, sat in front of the desk, and then asked, "Ziyuan, guess."
Sima Shi thought for a while: "In my opinion, Your Majesty will definitely not take the best plan, and he will not bet with the heavens. Between the best plan and the middle plan, I think he will take the best plan."
"Oh? Why?"
"If it is the best strategy, the biggest possibility is to lose Xiangyang, Fancheng, or even Nanyang. But if the strategy is taken, he will face Wei Ba directly." Sima Shi laughed: "He defeated Wei Ba, and he would not have any consequences for him.
What's the benefit? But if he loses Wei Ba and loses Wancheng, his face will be ruined. Furthermore, the stalemate of the war has ended, and the world's wealth will be exhausted. Aren't he worried about changes in Hebei? What if Lu Xun and Zhao Tong
What should he do if he breaks into Yingchuan and occupy Kunyang? So, I think he will take the best strategy and hand over the war in Nanyang to my father and son, and he escapes back to Luoyang by himself."
Sima Yi smiled and said nothing. Sima Shi asked back: "What do you think my father?"
"The best strategy and the middle strategy are the number of five or five. However, you think Your Majesty will take the best strategy because of his own face, but I don't agree. It is possible to worry about changes in Hebei. As for how he chooses in the end, let's wait and see.
.Maybe it depends on Liu Ziyang's attitude. Your Majesty has always trusted him. At this time, his opinions are very important."
Sima Shi nodded, Sima Zhao looked at his father and brother, and wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask.
As Sima Yi expected, Cao Rui finally consulted Liu Ye and others. Some of these people started from the perspective of political struggle and suggested that Cao Rui return to Luoyang, stabilize the court, and temporarily hand over Nanyang to Sima Yi or others, and some from
From a military perspective, it is recommended that Cao Rui defend Fancheng to the death and persevere. Wu and Shu are exhausted. If you persist for a while, there may be a turning point.
Different statements.
In the end, it was Liu Ye who made Cao Rui decide.
Liu Ye asked Cao Rui: What if Li Yan gave up after taking Fancheng and stopped moving forward, instead focused on managing Jingxiang and recuperating? Sun Quan attacked Guan Yu that year, on the one hand, of course, because Jingxiang was important, Guan Yu won Jingzhou.
, which is not good for Eastern Wu, but on the other hand, it is also because Guan Yu is too arrogant and does not know how to establish a good relationship with Sun Quan.
Although Li Yan was a little arrogant, he did not have a direct conflict with Sun Quan. On the contrary, he had Wei Ba around him to help him plan. Wei Ba had just fought with Sun Quan, and in a blink of an eye, he asked Zhao Tong to marry Sun Luban. If he had not
Will he risk entering Nanxiang if he grasps the relationship with Sun Quan? Aren’t he afraid that Sun Quan will cut off his retreat?
Don't forget that Zhao Tong is now with Lu Xun. This time Wu and Shu jointly sent troops in a substantial sense. No matter how Li Yan and Wei Ba did this, it is a fact. If Guan Yu would have done this back then
,Is he as for the outcome? It is a bit unreliable to pin his hopes on the evil between Wu and Shu. It is better to use defense instead of attacking and waiting for a turnaround.
Cao Rui accepted Liu Ye's suggestion and left Sima Yi to defend Fancheng and return to Wancheng himself. However, he added 10,000 people to Sima Yi, including three thousand Yuyang Tuqi.
...
Two thousand riders were galloping on the river beach, and the horse's hooves kicked the dry dust. They rolled up a dragon of earth, soared into the sky, and ran from a distance.
"Divide!" Tang Qianyu sat upright on the war horse, shouted lightly, and ordered the flag soldiers to wave the colorful flags. The Mercedes' cavalry quickly divided into two teams, as if a torrent encountered a huge rock, divided into two strands, and rushed to both sides smoothly.
The knights deflected their bodies on the battle horses, and they moved skillfully and easily. They cooperated with tacit understanding.
"Union!" Tang Qianyu ordered again. The cavalry gathered again, forming a swathe and getting closer.
"Stop!" Tang Qianyu raised his hand and gently held it. The sound of the war drum changed. It slowly slowed down. The cavalry slowly tied the reins. The war horses gradually accelerated, and the front of the War Horse Ridge stopped, and the knights were the ones who stopped their steps.
Raise your hands and salute Wei Ba and others on the ridge.
Wei Ba smiled and nodded repeatedly: "No, not bad, Qianyu, your cavalry skills have not fallen behind."
"Oh, these people can only see. If they really want to fight, they will not be so relaxed." Tang Qianyu said regretfully: "It's a pity that the cavalry trained by the old general Zhao himself were all left in Duyang by Ma Dai.
.Go back to the Ma family army, really, I think he is not even as capable as Miss Ma.”
"Which horse girl?"
"Which other girl Ma can be it, Ma Wenshan." Guan Feng continued the conversation and glanced at Wei Ba.
Wei Ba looked at her blankly: "I know Ma Wenshan is good at riding, but can she practice troops? How to ride a horse and use cavalry are two different things."
"It's okay, but I definitely don't have Ma Dai's brilliant skills. After all, I don't have any practical experience." Guan Feng gave Wei Ba a look, asking him to pay attention to Tang Qianyu's emotions. In fact, Wei Ba also saw that these people from Guanzhong were also seen.
They all complained about Zhuge Liang, not that Zhuge Liang was not good, but that their positions were different. Especially in the battle of Duyang, thousands of elite cavalry were lost to Ma Dai, which was a heavy lesson that many people could not forget.
"Soldiers are trained and fought. It's too early to go into battle now, but it shouldn't be a problem for being a scout, sending messages, and intercepting food channels, right?"
"Of course." Tang Qianyu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Two-thirds of these people are Wei family members. They dismounted and were the strongest infantrymen. Although they dare not say that they are the strongest after getting on the horse.
The cavalry, but it is not worse than the average knight."
"Then I have a idea." Wei Ba nodded with satisfaction. After getting more than two thousand war horses from Guo Li, he immediately began to form his own cavalry. Wei Wu brought two thousand divisions from Guanzhong, among which were there
The young man learned cavalry tactics with Zhao Yun when he was with Tang Qianyu, and now he has all added to these cavalry.
Wei Ba picked one-third of the knights of his hometown in Guanzhong and Longyou from the surrendered Wei army knights. Everyone knew that Wei was attacked from three sides this time, and Longyou probably could not be saved, so these knights joined Wei Ba.
The cavalry fought for Wei Ba, and there was no great resistance. If it weren't for Guo Li's uncle, Guo Li himself might have surrendered, but Xiping suffered considerable losses in the rebellion that year.
With his tacit consent and indulgence, the knights from Xiping joined Wei Ba's team.
In this way, Wei Ba established a cavalry of 2,000 people, with Tang Qianyu as the cavalry. In the past few days, Wei Ba was preparing for the war in Wuguan while watching the cavalry training, and his life was fulfilling.
Ding Feng ran over from a distance and handed Wei Ba two military newspapers. Wei Ba took the military newspaper and read it, frowned, and his smile disappeared: "Cao Rui has returned to Wancheng."
When Guan Feng and Tang Qianyu heard this, they asked at the same time: "Then are we missing the opportunity to attack Wancheng?"
Wei Ba nodded and shook his head again.
