Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 237 Yiyang Military Affairs
After Taishi Ci finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Why? Why don't you kill me?" Ling Tong asked in a crying, orz-like tone.

If only the overall situation was taken into consideration, at least Ling Tong should be brought under control, and then Bai Tu and Tai Shici would communicate with Sun Ce in private and execute him in secret.

"Even a guy like you can contribute to the 'future'... Don't get me wrong, I don't think there is any guilt in killing enemy generals, but... there are still prisoners of the enemy in custody opportunity. However, remember that you will only be my prisoner from now on. If I find out that you have done something detrimental to the general's palace, I will kill you before the lord knows about it!" Taishi Ci said without looking back.

The woodcutter looked at Ling Tong, then turned around and left with Tai Shici. After turning the corner of the alley, he asked, "Is this really good?"

"My lord has said that trust between people is the power to change the times...and don't forget that from now on, I am the Zhonglang General of the Catching Wind Guard, and I will keep an eye on him." Taishi Ci said.

The commander of the Wind Guards only has the rank of Zhonglang General.

"Don't talk to your lord about this matter, I will handle it properly." Taishi Ci specifically pleaded.

Although it is impossible for an "ordinary woodcutter" to directly advise Bai Tu, an "ordinary woodcutter" can.

"That's not what I'm talking about... It's better to go to a medical school to check your injury." The woodcutter said.

"Should..." Taishi Ci frowned upon hearing this, not wanting to be exposed.

"You have to go, otherwise I might take the initiative to call a doctor for you!" The woodcutter became a little tougher.

Although with the physique of the generals in Cheng Ji World, Tai Shici's injuries are probably not dangerous, but... if you are unlucky and get infected, it is still possible.

Taishi Ci smiled lightly after hearing this and walked towards the medical school - thanks to the "patient's right to privacy", Taishi Ci felt that if he went directly to Hua Tuo to deal with the trauma and asked him to keep it confidential, as long as it wasn't the Feng Guard who wanted to If you check it, Hua Tuo will not tell anyone else.

As for the wind-catching guards...why did Taishi Ci check his own case?

The woodcutter seemed uneasy and followed Tai Shici for a few steps, probably to see if he would go see a doctor honestly.

Taishi Ci looked at the woodcutter, hesitated and said, "Something happened in Yiyang County, so I went to Chengji Mansion."

When the woodcutter heard the name "Yiyang County", he was obviously nervous - including Chen Dao, more than thirty white-horse Yi Cong Paoze were all in Yiyang at this time.

At this time, the "sharp knife" of the Northern Route Army, which attacked the upper reaches of the Huaihe River and Yuan Shu's old troops from Yiyang County, was also the light cavalry regiment formed by Chen Dao and other Baima remnants, with manpower and horse power drawn from Bingzhou Langqi.

Due to its geographical location, Yangzhou has less than five thousand cavalry in total. Not to mention compared with Yuan Shao, it is not as good as Cao Cao, not as good as Liu Zhang, or even... maybe not as good as Liu Biao!
Jingzhou is at least connected to Guanzhong in the north and Bashu in the west-Guanzhong is now the place where the princes of Xiliang fought fiercely, and food can be exchanged for Liangzhou horses, and Bashu is also the origin of Dian horses.

There is also Jingzhou between Yangzhou and Bashu. The channels for buying and selling horses are seriously interfered by Jingzhou, and can only be purchased in pieces by private right-wingers.

In the Central Plains, we don't have enough horses now, so it's impossible to sell them to Bai Tu. As for Guanzhong... Bai Tu can also touch them.

There is a poem by Lu You in later generations - building boats crossing Guazhou in the snowy night, iron horses dispersing in the autumn wind - when the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty was going smoothly, he once severely defeated the Jin army in Guazhou, and he was already aiming at the dispersing pass, and he was quite ready to recover. The momentum of the Central Plains.

It's just a pity that everyone knows the result. After all, "I walled the Great Wall and made my promise in vain, and my temples were already stained in the mirror." The ruling class of the Southern Song Dynasty gave up the opportunity...

Let's not talk about the Southern Song Dynasty. "Guazhou Ferry" is Guazhou in the south of Guangling City and across the river from the current Jingkou City, and "Dasanguan" is the west gate of Guanzhong area.

Therefore, the General's Mansion occupying Guangling County is actually bordering Guanzhong, but...

Now out of ten rooms in Guanzhong, nine are empty, and it is also surrounded by four great passes in the southeast, northwest and northwest. The typical area has hard bones and little meat, so no one can easily break teeth.

Moreover, after Bai Tu released "Killing a person is like killing my father", it was already a war with Li Jue and Guo Si in Guanzhong, eliminating the possibility of friendly transactions between the two sides.

The dignified General's Mansion is now like a retail investor when it comes to horses, especially good horses that can train war horses. It has been relying on small transactions among the people to accumulate small amounts and make more.

If Chen Dao and others had not been recognized by Lu Bu for their ability to train and lead cavalry, Baitu would not have even thought of transferring war horses from Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

However, this time, Yiyang Qingqi stumbled in Zhu County - Zhu County is located in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River and is also the junction of Jiangxia and Nanyang.

The [-] Yiyang Qingqi who had just seen improvement lost a third of them in the first battle in Strider County...

Chen Dao already wanted to go back to Jinling to plead guilty, but was stopped by Bai Tu's order, asking him to perform meritorious service on the front line!
Bai Tu has never been a supporter of "you must be guilty if you lose". If the defeat was caused by objective unfavorable conditions, Bai Tu would not mention "making meritorious service" at all. Instead, he would give a few words of encouragement, but... Chen Dao really lost this time. Shameful.

The [-] light cavalry were supposed to be "invincible" on the North Road battlefield - Yuan Shu's legacy did not have any well-established cavalry. At most, the main force could put together a thousand cavalry raiding formation, and their quality was comparable to that of the White Horse Yi Cong. No, and they are not good at cavalry fighting alone. They can only be used to raid the formation for the main force, that is, to prevent the pure infantry formation from being cannibalized by the opponent's cavalry.

One thousand and five hundred Qingqi trained according to the principles of Baima will either win or leave. Unless they fell into a trap, how could there be such a big loss?

The previous trip from Xiyang to Jiguo also proved this point - initially everything went well for the Northern Route Army, breaking the formation in the field and marching down to the stronghold to take out the city...

However, after arriving in Ji County, we will face the first hard nut.

The county seat of Strider County is nothing to worry about, but within Strider County, there are three "crowded together" passes, namely Ming'e, Zhiyuan, and Datun—that is, the three passes of Yiyang in later generations, or It is the three passes of Xinyang.

This is the place where Sun Wu led his troops to conquer when Wu State attacked Chu in the pre-Qin period.

In history without the White Rabbit Effect, Guan Yu was also blocked here when he intended to make the Northern Expedition in Jingzhou.

In the Tang Dynasty, Huaixi relied on the Three Passes, and separatist forces frequently appeared. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Huainan was also restricted in defense due to the isolation of the Three Passes.

It can be regarded as the first difficulty in the Northern Route Army's Western Expedition, equivalent to Miangou to Jiangxia...

Of course, although today's Sanguan is not in disrepair, it has not been expanded or built on a large scale since the pre-Qin Dynasty. It is not comparable to the scale of the Tuoba family in the later Northern Wei Dynasty after the expansion here, let alone Tongguan and Hulao Pass. , Dashan Pass and other world-famous passes.

The reason why it has a strong ability to block the east, west, north and south is that these three passes are all in narrow passes, and seemingly small passes are enough to guard them.

In other words, the defenders often rely on the terrain to create an environment of narrow encounters instead of staying at the pass.

Not long ago, the Northern Route Army attacked Ming'e, and Yuan Shu's remaining troops set up an army formation in the narrow pass.

Chen Dao led his Qianqi to break the formation, but during the charge, the spearmen in front of the pass suddenly withdrew, revealing a square formation composed entirely of generals holding halberds...
