Chapter 260

Looks like ran Min has a black pot on his back? However, whether it is the original history or this, ran min's back pot is not wronged at all.

Liu Yan has always been able to do without saying. He has less high-profile guns and more ruthless actions. Should he be regarded as the local force that has caused the most losses to the state of Zhao in Shijie?

The current situation of the state of Zhao in Shijie is doomed to be out of control, but you can see from a little insight that killing will become the mainstream of the state of Zhao in Shijie, and everywhere will be a tragic situation of blood flowing into a river.

When the news came from Shi Xuan, Liu Yan had begun to confront the main force of Xuzhou army. The location was 70 miles away from the West Bank of Yishui. If there was a name, it would be called Cangshan in modern times.

The main forces of the two armies are facing each other, but several troops with the nature of partial division are engaged in fighting, respectively on the Luoting battlefield and the Jiqiu battlefield.

The FeiTing battlefield is a fortress offensive and defensive battle, that is, the hill battlefield is a field battle. There are not many troops on the two battlefields, and the degree of fighting does not appear to be very fierce.

There was another battlefield that Liu Yan and others did not expect. It was the Jin army under Yu Bing who launched a cross river attack on the Jiangdu of Shijie Zhao state.

Jiangdu is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, and the precipitation temple is the most important Jiangfang important place of Shijie Zhao state in Xuzhou.

The troops dispatched by the Jin army are not many, only 6000 water troops and 10000 infantry troops, but the outbreak of the Jiangdu war is of great significance. It was the first time that the small ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty took the initiative in many years, but it is not clear whether the offensive will become a joke like the previous northern expedition.

"The number of Xuzhou troops opposite us is 70000, and more than 40000 are cavalry troops." Ji Chang stood in front of the sand table and lit the position with a long stick: "the enemy's camping situation is as seen in the sand table. Although there will be differences, it will not be too big."

The sand table is a little big, two and a half meters wide and three meters long. The terrain of mountains and rivers is kneaded with soil, which looks lifelike. The barracks of the two armies used mini toys, which should be wooden fences and tents, which were strictly set out according to information.

Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao were only a little surprised when they saw the sand table, which means that they at least know what the sand table is.

In fact, the sand table has been used as early as the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. It is really recorded that Ma Yuan, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, was sent by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty to spy on Longxi. After returning, he used a pile of white rice to integrate the mountain terrain and road distribution to tell Liu Xiu about the situation in Longxi. It is only like some people's rumour that the Second World War was brought to the heavenly kingdom by the Allied forces, just as it is thought that the serving of individual dishes was ridiculous when the West was introduced into the Heavenly Kingdom.

A sand table of public concern. The above mountain map only covers the terrain 50 miles around the main forces of the two armies. It can be regarded as the topographic map of the main battlefield to understand the barracks of the two armies.

There is not only one sand table, but also two parts of Luoting battlefield and Jiqiu battlefield. There is also a sand table that includes all Langxie county and Donghai County. The difference is that the overall situation is relatively summarized, and the parts are more clear.

Yuan Qiao smiled bitterly: "it would be nice if we could have a mountain map. Maybe the terrain would be incomplete."

Huan Wen didn't speak. He really didn't know what to say.

In fact, this is not just the Jin army. Most of the time, the map just draws a simple outline, and then marks where there are cities and where the enemy is. Even the outline on the map is wrong, where there are mountains, where there are water sources, and so on. Many things are not marked or marked incorrectly.

The Han army once again taught Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao a lesson. At least in exploring the terrain, the Han Army has absolute preciseness. The Han Army marked out what terrain should be, what terrain, where there are mountains, where there is water, where there are woods, where there are villages and towns, and so on.

"There are fierce people in the Yu family!" Liu Yan knew the war situation on his side in detail. All the preparations had been made. He waited for Fu Zhi's action. He was very depressed about Jin Jun's daring to go north. He waited for someone to bring him to the shelf hanging the map and asked, "who is the striker?"

Ji Chang replied, "Lord general Xie an and Vice General Wang Tanzhi."

Liu Yan was stunned and asked repeatedly, "who?"

Ji Chang answered again and asked, "is there anything wrong?"

There's nothing wrong with it. The problem is that according to historical records, did Xie an resign again and again to educate the Xie family's children? Did he wait for the middle-aged and elderly to become an official? Another Wang Tanzhi was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan and was the son of Wang Shu, the official order of the current Dynasty. But shouldn't he work under Sima Yu, the king of Kuaiji at this time?

Of course, Liu Yan's surprise was not that. He knew who Xie an was and did not know who Wang Tanzhi was.

"No wonder..." Huan Wen knew he shouldn't interrupt, but he still said: "Liu Sujun, get ready, riding general... Really going north to attack Zhao."

Facing Huan Wen's reminder, Liu Yan didn't say much except smiling and nodding.

"Liu Sujun, Wen knows that Sujun has misunderstood the aristocratic family south of the Yangtze River." Huan Wen looked serious and said, "maybe in the view of the envoy, the repeated northern expeditions are all jokes, but Wen wants to say you are wrong."

What Liu Yan is doing now is a combat meeting, not a routine, but he didn't stop Huan Wen from going on.

"Zugong (zuti) made only thousands of northern expeditions. He was betrayed by Zhang Ping and fan ya. He still insisted on the Northern Expedition and calmed Zhang Ping and fan Ya with his own strength. Later, he was betrayed by Chen Chuan and had to withdraw to Huainan. But Zugong (zuti) regained the lost land later. Zugong (zuti) successively fought with Li Ju, zhao gu, Guo Mo and other separatist forces with meager strength until..."

Huan Wen talked about some of the past events of the zuti period. He spoke clearly when he needed to explain. The general meaning was that it was not that the aristocratic family did not have the will of the northern expedition, but the Sima royal family always liked to lag behind, and then the situation was difficult.

"Well, I understand. But... It's just zuti's effort. Sima family has been holding back, and other aristocratic families are watching coldly?"

Huan Wen seemed unaffected. He told some stories about Yu Liang's Northern Expedition. Finally, he said, "it has been a bloody battle many times. I don't know how many soldiers died in the battlefield. In exchange for a corner and a weak military, Hu and Ma can't go south."

Everyone is watching Huan Wen. Those who know the details are serious, while those who don't know are still contemptuous.

Liu Yan looked at Huan Wen and asked in a slow voice, "Yuanzi means that repeated northern expeditions are not a joke, but do your best?"

"Facts speak louder than words. Wen was deeply impressed by your words." Huan Wen suddenly bowed: "Wen has a request. I don't know what to say?"

Liu Yan nodded: "but speaking is."

"Wen asked the envoy to borrow 3000 cavalry." Huan Wen stooped down and said, "Wen is willing to lead the 3000 cavalry around the front line of Lanling and enter Pengcheng."

At that moment, some people couldn't help but say "poof!", They think Huanwen must have a problem. Borrowing soldiers means borrowing, borrowing or cavalry?

Do you know what cavalry is? Do you know how precious cavalry is? The army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had more than 200000 cavalry. Huan Wen even opened his mouth to 3000 cavalry!

"Feasible." Ji Chang continued in a breath: "Sir, we were going to threaten Pengcheng and influence Wang Luan to make a wrong judgment."

People have to look at Ji Chang. When they look at Ji Chang, their eyes are full of incredible.

"A thousand sudden riders, a thousand light riders and a thousand auxiliary riders." Liu Yan looked at Huan Wen with a smile: "Uncle Yan is still Yuanzi's deputy."

At that moment, I don't know how many people in the account thought they were hearing hallucinations or dreaming.

When Huan Wen stood up and looked at Liu Yan, he was also full of shock. His eyes seemed to be grateful? In fact, he was so angry that he wanted to inspire Liu Yan to have a try. Then he saw that threatening Pengcheng was of great significance to the Han Army or the Jin army. I really didn't think Liu Yan would agree.

Just because he thought it impossible, Liu Yan agreed. Instead, Huan Wen was a little confused. He was stunned for a long time before he asked, "really?"

Liu Yan has been discussing the next action with Ji Chang. Wen Yan turns around and looks at Huan Wen, who is probably still confused and forced, smiles. Then he turns back and continues to discuss with Ji Chang.

"Yuanzi." Yuan Qiao smiled bitterly for a long time, raised his hand to reveal the talisman in his palm and said, "Liu Sujun has given the talisman."

"This......" Huan Wen was still shocked: "that's three thousand cavalry!"

After so many days of understanding, Huan Wen thought he understood the establishment of the Han Army and divided it into several classes, which was tantamount to a careful division of the elite of the army.

There is no doubt that the 1000 Turk cavalry are elite cavalry in the second-class sequence, and the 1000 light cavalry are troops in the third-class sequence. According to the division of the Han Army, the 1000 auxiliary cavalry are only auxiliary personnel and are not counted as combat power.

The auxiliary riders of the Han Army are only inferior to the light cavalry in terms of equipment, which is inferior to the types of armor and weapons. However, they can definitely be regarded as a regular army in the cavalry of the Hu people. In fact, the poor equipment in the Jin army is not riding and martial arts.

Huan Wen took the talisman and really mobilized the 3000 cavalry promised by Liu Yan. He thought it was the 3000 cavalry, but when he really got it, he was forced again.

Three thousand cavalry refers to three thousand knights, but there are twice as many war horses, that is, six thousand. In addition to war horses, there are nearly 3000 pack horses and nags, which means that every knight has a foot that can carry living supplies.

When he saw tens of thousands of horses, Huan Wen's heart was almost collapsed. He was either other or excited.

Waiting to see the supplies carried by pack horses and nags, Huan Wen, who was near the edge of collapse, almost sat down on the ground.

"So rich?" Yuan Qiao was also silly. He carefully checked: "Cereals, wheat, meat, fish and wine...", read at least ten kinds, and said in a daze: "with the corresponding weapons, armor and some fragments, we need to carry so many materials?"

Cereals are actually for war horses, and the rest are the meals of every soldie
