Chapter 1252

In this way, he had to force Huangfu Chaobo to train some people from Tian Yu. Huang Xu led the battle in Yanbei all the year round, and his experience has gradually accumulated. Zhang Ying also led the battle alone several times, which has a certain foundation. Only Tian Yu, the first battle of Shangdang, can be said to be his real first battle. However, he has already made a good response among the Tang army. This time he sent troops to the county, he should be handed over to Tian Yu to practice.

In order not to make any mistakes, Huangfu Chaobo also specially sent Pang Tong to the central army to make up for Tian Yu's mistakes. In addition, Hua Xiong, a veteran, should be safe.

In fact, there are still two generals that can be trained, namely Zhao Yu and Huang Wudi. However, Huangfu Chaobo does not think he has no generals to train, so he does not take them as the key training objects.

"King," Guo Jia raised a stack of intelligence in his hand and said, "basically speaking, the Zhao army has gathered more than 20000 soldiers in Yanmen county during this period of time, and the soldiers and horses in the cloud are also being mobilized. According to the intelligence, there are only 10000 troops in Xianyang City, and some food and grass have been gathered in the city. The 10000 soldiers and horses are on guard The city is more than enough, but the attack is not enough. Moreover, there are still some food and grass on the way, which should be sent to the clouds one after another to prepare for the next round of attack. "

"Did Lu Bu's cavalry move?" Huangfu Chaobo looked up at the map of Bingzhou.

"Not yet. Bingzhou wolf riding is still in Jinyang. It should be waiting for the weather to improve. After all, the cavalry will be very fast if they go out. And Cao Xingbu's 20000 cavalry troops are still in the clouds for the time being, and there is no sign of moving eastward. "

"Even if Cao Xing's cavalry moved eastward, they would certainly leave at least 10000 cavalry." Xu Shu said on one side;

Guo Jia nodded and agreed: "well, what Yuan Zhi said is reasonable. Even though he knew that the possibility of Wuyuan's sending troops was not great, Lu Bu would still have a sense of prevention. "

"However, I have a question," Lu Su said suddenly, "since the Zhao army sent troops to Youzhou, the state of Wei, as his ally, did not respond. Is there any secret in it?"

Several people are saying, Shi a asks for a meeting from outside, Huang Fu Chao Bo immediately signals to let him enter the hall to meet.

Soon, Shi a face of joy into the palace, to Huangfu Chaobo a salute, said: "king, general Tian Yu sent back pigeon letter, the army has captured the West Bank of caisangjin Hukou Town, now has set up a floating bridge on the river, tomorrow the army and food and grass can cross the river."

"Good!" Huangfu Chaobo heard the speech, happy: "army loss geometry?"

Shi a Wen Yan handed the pigeon letter to the nearby gatherer. After Huangfu Chaobo approached him, he read it carefully. He was relieved. Only a few hundred people were lost. It's OK. For this battle, Huangfu Chaobo is most worried about Shangjun soldiers blocking their troops in Hedong. For a long time, it will be the most unfavorable for him. Now, getting through the cross-strait ties means that before the peach blossom flood season, we can transport all the grain and grass of the army across the river. In this way, we are not afraid that the army will be short of food in the next two months.

Of course, crossing the river is only the first step, and then there will be more difficult battles. It's just that the generals will be out of the country, and their orders will not be accepted. They can't control how they fight.

After reading the Chaobo, Huangfu looked up and saw that Shi a seemed to have something to say. He said, "what else! Let's talk about it together! "

"Back to the king, Hebei intelligence, the Wei army has gathered tens of thousands of troops, it seems that there are signs of sending troops to Youzhou."

Hearing this, all the people in the hall looked at Lu Su with a smile.

Lu Su said with a smile: "it seems that the Wei army did not move, but Lu Bu was too impatient."

"How many troops did the Wei army muster?"

"Not much. Thirty or fifty thousand soldiers, twenty or thirty thousand cavalry, plus auxiliary soldiers, civilian men and craftsmen, should be less than one hundred thousand troops." Shi a replied;

"it seems that Yuan Shao didn't have the idea of a war. In this way, even if our army did something in Wei County, it would not help."

"Well, the state of Yan doesn't care about him. What we can do has been arranged before. Looking at the meaning of Wei and Zhao, we basically focus on a county in the state of Yan. We don't want to fight. I believe Gongsun Zan should be able to deal with it." Huangfu Chaobo made a decision about the state of Yan, and everyone turned to other places.

"In the East, the state of Qi and general Qingche are also deploying troops. There should be a big war after spring ploughing. In the south, the troops of the state of Wu in Jiangbei are also gathering. It seems that the three families are making active preparations." Guo Jia continued,

"how is the state of Qi?" Huangfu Chaobo, as always, paid close attention to the hero in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

"According to the information we collected last year, Qi's strength has been seriously damaged in recent years, especially after the loss of Qiaojun and other counties, the population has been greatly reduced, but the land of Qingzhou has lost a large number of people because the people have been moved away by us. Then they lost most of xiapi and Donghai, and their strength was almost half of that before the previous World War. " Guo Jia said with a smile;"I have the impression that before he became king, Cao Cao should have a population of nearly eight million, so now he has a population of about four or five million?"

"It's true that China's population is about 16 million, more than twice that of Qi." Xu Shu replied on one side;

"you can't be careless. You know, Wu and yelaixiang don't add up as much as Qi. In addition, they need to play Qi together. If they are attacked by Qi separately, they have little chance of winning." Huang Fu said in a deep voice;

although they did not know why their king valued the state of Qi so much, after all, the fighting power of Qi's army and generals was obvious to all, so they did not say much. Lu Su said: "king, do we continue to increase the sales of equipment to light truck generals, so that they will not be too at a disadvantage in the face of Qi?"

Huangfu Chaobo shook his head: "it's not necessary to increase, just according to the existing arrangements, and even the sales of crossbow machines must be reduced. First, there is a big gap in the demand for our army's Crossbow machines. Second, we must prevent our inability to support the tiger."

"Yes, crossbows can be reduced, but horses can be maintained or even increased, and then ordinary equipment can be increased in large quantities." Xun you added;

according to the statistics of the Tang army, there are more than 4000 crossbows now flowing into the hands of yelaixiang. If they get them from other sources, it is estimated that they should be able to set up a school of crossbow soldiers. Although they have to use them in several battlefields, they are also a large force.

What's more, the supply of Tang army's Crossbow machine is in short supply, and all the allies are in urgent need now. Therefore, it is imperative to reduce the sales of the crossbow machine.
