Chapter 1171

As soon as Xunyou's words came out, Huangfu Chaobo reflected that he was too taken for granted. If he really dared to send troops to destroy the little emperor, there would soon be a big plot task of the heroes to discuss the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing the reaction from Huangfu Chaobo, several people breathed a sigh of relief. Pang Tong said, "it's impossible for us to send troops to Chang'an, but we can send troops to Zuo Fengyi. If we can take advantage of the three great wars in Guanzhong, we can send troops from Hedong to capture Zuo Fengyi, then it's between us to go north to Bingzhou or go west to Liangzhou."

After listening to this, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly realized that if it is true, he only needs to keep the east line well, and then control Guanzhong with ease, and then go back to fight against the princes of Guandong, there will be no worries.

"In this way, the next step is to quietly enhance the strength of Hedong Yingyang battalion. If we send troops to Guanzhong, how many troops would be better?"

"The strength of the Yingyang army alone is certainly not enough. Moreover, once there is a war in Guanzhong, the three cavalry are not weak, so a large number of cavalry must be prepared to take part in the war, and the elite crossbow soldiers must be equipped as soon as possible." Guo Jiadao;

"OK, Yuanzhi, the crossbow machine of Yingyang army will be replaced first next year."

"No!"

After thinking about it, Huangfu Chaobo said: "it's not enough to rely on the elite crossbow soldiers of each school. In this way, he ordered Tian Yu to quietly set up a school crossbow army after the crossbow soldiers of the fourth school changed their equipment. All the crossbow soldiers were equipped with one stone rhubarb crossbow. If the cavalry were defeated by the three warlords in Guanzhong, the crossbow soldiers could at least restrain the cavalry and move back a lot of advantages 。”

Although the cavalry of Tang army can dominate the world in the Central Plains, it's only in the Central Plains. If it's against the cavalry of shangxiliang or the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, it won't take much advantage. Unless Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong, Huaxiong's Xiliang Tieqi and huyandu's Tujia were all transferred, it was impossible. Of the three cavalry, except huyandu's Tujia, the other two cavalry had to stay to deal with Yuan Shao's army.

You know, Yuan Shao's cavalry of Wei army has increased a lot in recent years. If there is no special cavalry to suppress, the ordinary cavalry of Tang army can only have a slight advantage.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo said in his heart: it seems that his special arms must be increased, otherwise, he will not be able to cope with the future war. For a long time, Huangfu Chaobo has not increased the maximum number of troops for special arms, because 5000 is just the establishment of a school. For war, 5000 is better to command than 68000.

According to the recruitment conditions of special arms, if the territory under his command reaches three states or more, the upper limit of special arms can be expanded to 10000 people. Now that he has reached this condition, Huang Fu Chao Bo looks at Xu Shu and says, "Yuanzhi, later, he will send an order to General Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong, ordering them to expand their special cavalry to 10000 people within next year, tell him They must not only meet the requirements in quantity, but also in combat power! "

"No!" Xu Shu bowed himself to answer the question;

"in addition to their two cavalry, the Turkmen cavalry will be expanded to 10000, and the Yuanrong crossbow soldiers and tieyingrui soldiers of the guards will also expand their forces, but it's a pity that the trapped camp can't be expanded, and the requirements of the Tiebi battalion are too high. These two troops can only maintain the establishment of 1000."

"What about the special arms under other generals? Is it also expanded to 10000? Or to maintain the existing 5000 people? " Xu Shu asked again,

"which other generals have special arms?" Huang Fu Chao Bo was stunned, but he didn't know which other generals had special arms, so he quickly asked;

Xu Shu said as if he had a few treasures: "there are also general Zhang Ying's halberd, general Kong Xin's Daqin Rui, general Ji Ling's heavy infantry and general Zang BA's Taishan soldiers."

"Then order to expand to 10000 people together." With a stroke of his pen, Huangfu Chaobo said that since there are so many special arms, it's good to expand them at one time.

"With the king's orders Xu Shu bowed down and said,

"well, that's how it's arranged. Do you have any news from Zhao Rui Huangfu Chaobo turned his head and looked at Guo Jiadao;

"Lord Hui, General Zhao's headquarters have now settled down in Wuguan, because the little emperor only gave him 10000 troops, so the nearly 20000 troops they gathered along the way have been reduced by him. Now there are only 10000 soldiers stationed in Wuguan, and the other nearly 10000 people are auxiliary soldiers, which are placed nearby."

Today's little emperor has hard wings, so he doesn't pay much attention to Zhao Rui's troops, who were important officials at the beginning. For the sake of safety, but he can't offend the state of Tang, so he sent Zhao Rui and his troops to Wuguan.

The reason why it is arranged in Wuguan is also the result of careful consideration. Wuguan is one of the four major passes in Guanzhong. Wuguan, the border entry and exit inspection office of ancient Jin, Chu, Qin and Chu, together with Hangu pass, Xiaoguan pass and Dashan pass, became the "four fortresses of Qin".

Wuguan has a long history. It was established as early as the spring and Autumn period, named shaoxiguan. It was changed to Wuguan in the Warring States period. Guancheng is built on a relatively flat highland between the canyons, with high Shaoxi mountain in the north and dangerous scenery in the south. The perimeter of Guan City is about four Li, and the wall is built with earth, which is slightly square. The East and the West have their own doors, and the holes are wrapped with bricks and stones. Before the founding of the people's Republic of China, "Sanqin fortress" was on the west gate, "Wuguan" was on the east gate, and "gushaoxiguan" was on the inner gate.The terrain in the west of guanxi is relatively flat. It only goes out of the east of Guanxi and twists along the mountainside. The cliff is high and the valley is deep. It is narrow and difficult to walk. Therefore, Wuguan is a place that ancient military strategists must fight for. Wuguan is located in the boundary of "the head of Qin and the tail of Chu", which is "the throat of Qin and Chu" and "the key of Guanzhong".

Today's Wuguan, backed by Guanzhong, faces Nanyang directly. To the west of Wuguan, there are Shang county and Shangluo county. Now the Han Army has heavily garrisoned the two armies, which is equivalent to blocking Zhao Rui's 10000 troops above the Wuguan, so they can't advance or retreat.

In addition, although the terrain in the west of Wuguan is slightly flat, it is basically impossible to support the 10000 troops with these places. Therefore, the little emperor and a group of his important officials feel that they can firmly control the 10000 troops with logistics.

It has to be said that the little emperor's hand is very beautiful. He really put the ten thousand army of Zhao Rui among the Jedi. If the army is not prepared, it won't be long before it will be really controlled by the little emperor.

What they didn't know was that Zhao Rui had been preparing for his departure from Chang'an for so many years. Although they had not been able to persuade some of the emperor's important officials to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, they also helped the middle and lower level officials in Chang'an. So when the little emperor decided to send his troops to Wuguan, the official was not able to help them Among the members, there are people who are separated from each other and secretly send them news.

After leading the army to leave Chang'an, Zhao Rui led the army to wipe out the remnants of Guo and Li's army, and at the same time, he kept gathering food, grass and supplies to hide quietly. After the emperor's official order came, Zhao Rui led the army all the way to Wuguan without saying a word. At the same time, he quietly transported all the food and grass to Wuguan.
