People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 158
The second year of Zhongping, December, is about to enter a new year, and at this time in Jincheng County, Li Wenhou has led the army and returned to the Yunwu Barracks.

When he left with his troops, he only had [-] cavalry in his hands. In less than three months, he had expanded to [-] cavalry.

Among them, [-] cavalry were stationed in the big and small Yugu, and Cizhi Hequ. Li Wenhou had only [-] cavalry around him.

To maintain such a large army, the daily consumption of food and grass is a problem, but they still have a war to fight.

Yunwu barracks, now that the army has expanded, the barracks must also be expanded to accommodate so many people and horses.

Where the Huangshui River and the Yellow River meet, this vast wilderness has been expanded into a huge military camp.

At this time, in the largest camp, all the Sima in the army gathered here. Originally they were talking and laughing, but after Li Wenhou came in, everyone immediately silenced their voices, and at the same time held their heads high, their eyes like torches, and their spirits were radiant.

Li Wenhou walked to the main seat, looked around, and nodded in satisfaction:
"Very good, everyone looks very energetic. I believe you have already heard that we are going to send troops to Longxi to defeat Song Jian, the traitor who claims to be the king. I don't say anything false. I want to occupy that valley basin, and where I am, Li Wenhou. I don't want to see another anti-king!"

Now the Sima in the tent, the Army Sima, the Marching Sima, and the other Sima are all Li's clan relatives, trilogy, and they are definitely core cronies. Hearing what Li Wenhou said, how could they object.

Moreover, they have strong soldiers, [-] cavalry, and [-] people who control strings. How can they be afraid of a Song Jian?

Seeing this situation, Li Wenhou was very satisfied. Now his sphere of influence reaches the West Sea area in the west, Yuzhong County and Yongshi County in the east, Lingju Fortress in the north, Xiaoyu Valley in the south, and Zhizhi Hequ.

All under his command are elite cavalry, and both left and right are fierce generals, so he should have this kind of momentum and energy. He is just a Song Jian, and he will capture the entire Liangzhou in the future.

At this time, Li Wenhou waved his hand to make everyone quiet for a while, and when everyone gradually calmed down, he continued:

"Just last month, I asked Ayao to send out some good soldiers in the army, let them collect intelligence first, everyone listen to the information, and then discuss the battle plan!"

The left and right people heard the words and responded:

"only!"

Afterwards, Li Wenhou looked at Li Yao, and Li Yao also walked out directly. He met everyone's eyes, smiled and said calmly:

"I have contacted several times with the whistle ride. At present, I can be determined. This river is the king of Pinghan, and the His Majesty River Army has more than [-] troops. Among them, [-] are stationed in Yahan, that is, Song Jian's king city, and the other [-] are stationed in the rest of the cities, Heguan, Daxia, Bai Shi, and Di Dao. There was no troops to station, so he would be easily attacked by him, and then blocked the road, sitting on the ground to collect money ... "

When Li Wenhou heard this, he shook his head directly, and then said with a disdainful smile:

"The eight thousand Heshou army dared to separate the territory of Fanghan and become the king. They are not very capable, but they are not small in courage. They even dared to block the road, and they didn't send anyone over to ask me what I mean!"

Everyone around laughed, now they have 4 soldiers and horses, facing the [-] Heshou army, as long as they swarm up, they can crush this army to death with their feet.

But at this time, Li Wenhou was a little puzzled, he looked at Li Yao and asked:

"Based on the land of four counties, how did this Song Jian raise eight thousand Heshou troops?"

When Li Yao heard Li Wenhou's inquiry, he immediately replied:
"Because the composition of the army is different, for example, the three armies trained by my father, from the source of soldiers to training to food, are all of the same level, so each of them can block ten with one, and go forward..."

"And the [-]-strong Heshou Army was formed by Song Jian's gathering of bandits from the Han people and local tycoons, the Qiang chiefs. As long as he brought a hundred people to vote, he would dare to make a Sima, and as long as he brought a thousand people to vote, he would dare to make a school lieutenant..."

"So the [-]-strong Heshou army is full of big and small soldiers. Good and bad are mixed together. Some troops are still capable of fighting, while some are completely useless. The key point is that they acquiesce in looting..."

"For example, those school lieutenants Sima, while plundering ordinary people, also captured strong men as soldiers, and even the spies we sent out, because they were good at riding and shooting, many of them sneaked into the Heguan garrison, so that they could find out a lot of news..."

"When we dispatch our troops, we only need [-] vanguards in front, and the remaining [-] troops in the rear, to cross the river at night, open the city gate, and easily capture the river pass!"

After Li Yao finished speaking, Li Wenhou shook his head first:
"This Song Jian only has this ability. What kind of combat power does the eight thousand Heshou army have..."

Immediately, Li Wenhou stopped talking. He looked at the rough topographical map of Longxi, and after only a moment, he made a decision. Then he raised his head to look at the crowd, with a serious face and full of power, and loudly arranged:

"Since Ayao has a way to capture the Heguan, then I will let you be the vanguard and lead a thousand loyal soldiers. You can choose the details. Your task is to capture the Heguan and open the way for the army behind..."

Hearing this, Li Yao was neither surprised nor frightened, his expression was full of confidence, and he clapped his hands in reply:
"only!"

Li Wenhou nodded, and then said again:

"The rest of the generals obeyed the order. As soon as the Heguan is defeated, we will immediately lead the army to go straight to Yanhan. Our [-] troops will surround his royal city. If anyone leads troops to rescue, we will destroy his reinforcements. If no one leads troops to rescue, we will take down this city..."

"Our [-]-strong army can easily defeat Fanghan, but what I ask of you is not to take down this city, but to truly control all the soldiers. This expedition is also a training exercise. I will promote you. Don't let me down!"

When everyone around heard the words, they all showed determination. Now that they have achieved this position, no one wants to fall again.

So everyone saluted and responded:
"only!"

At this time, Li Wenhou grinned, and then he pulled out the ring-headed knife at his waist, held the knife in his forehand and stabbed straight down, the tip of the knife just inserted into the position of Yuanhan, watching the crowd excitedly opened his mouth and said:

"Three days, during these three days, we will reward all the soldiers, and when everyone is fed and recharged, we will send troops to Longxi three days later, and we will hunt for Yuanhan, and Song Jian's head is the ultimate goal!"

These words made everyone's blood boil, and then they responded loudly again:
"only!"
