Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 463 Implementation of the Plan 1
Gongsun Xu completely handed over the business matters to Guo Jia and others, and he himself devoted himself to the plan of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.Gongsun Xu is now suffering from the fact that the grassland defense line is too long, so that he does not have enough troops to defend, so this plan of borrowing chickens and laying eggs must be well planned.

According to Gongsun Xu's plan, as long as the Yellow Turban Army migrated successfully, the vicinity of the Great Wall defense line would be enriched. If the barbarians of the grassland dared to go south, they would have to weigh it carefully.In addition, after the successful migration of nearly 200 million refugees, Gongsun Xu will definitely gradually encroach on the territory of the grassland outside the Great Wall. As long as the living space of the Hu people is compressed, their range of activities will definitely be reduced. question.

Moreover, as long as these plans can be successful, there is no need for the Northern Xinjiang Army to invest a large number of troops in such a long line of defense. At that time, Gongsun Xu can free up his hands to solve other matters.It's just that it's not that simple to complete the task of relocating refugees. At least Gongsun Xu's initial investment will be huge.

It is precisely because of this that this plan of borrowing chickens to lay eggs must be implemented, otherwise Gongsun Xu will have to transfer troops from Youzhou, Liaodong, and Sanhan, and even temporarily put on hold the expansion and conquest of the navy Overseas plans, so even if Gongsun Xu can complete the important task of relocating the refugees, he may have to wait two or three years if he wants to recover.

After some exchanges with Sun Ce, Sun Ce has already assured that he will find a way to bring 5000 cavalry from Jiangdong. Maybe these [-] people are not all good cavalry, but Gongsun Xu believes that in this case, Sun Ce can bring Definitely a battlefield veteran.

Sun Ce has no choice at the moment, he can only put all his bets on the northern border army, otherwise he will have to go back to Jiangdong to face the attacks of the local aristocratic family and Liu Biao. Waiting for the opportunity in northern Xinjiang.

The second person to reach an agreement with Gongsun Xu on sending troops was Lu Bu. Zhang Liao could see the benefits of this plan at a glance. With the understanding, he believed that his lord would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Lu Bu is facing many problems now. First of all, most of his men and horses are cavalry, but he has relatively few horses, and he lacks a base to raise so many soldiers. If he is in Bingzhou, I'm afraid Lu Bu sent troops to the grassland to grab things long ago, but he is near Luoyang now, even if he wanted to, he couldn't get anything. Luoyang is very desolate now.

If he got to the territory of other vassals, Lu Bu would have no chance to grab it, and he might become enmity with other vassals. At that time, the loss of soldiers would not be mentioned, and he would be more likely to fall into the quagmire of war.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Zhang Liao first applied for a quota to Gongsun Xu, and Gongsun Xu was also very happy that the soldiers under Lu Bu's command could appear on the grassland north of Bingzhou.First of all, most of the soldiers sent by Lu Bu will be soldiers from Bingzhou. They are familiar with the climate and geography of Bingzhou and the grasslands to the north of Bingzhou, so it will be easier to fight in this way.

Furthermore, most of the soldiers under Lu Bu's command are veterans, even if they are not veterans, they have at least experienced many battles. Such an army is much better than the recruits, and what's more, most of the soldiers led by Lu Bu are cavalry.

The most important point is that Lu Bu himself is from Bingzhou, and most of his generals are also from Bingzhou.In this way, Gongsun Xu can at least guarantee that these people will not bring any harm to Bingzhou. After all, Bingzhou is also their hometown. There are their fathers and villagers here. All good things?
Soon, Ji Ling also tried his best to apply for a place from Gongsun Xu. No one looked forward to such a battle more than Ji Ling, because he knew the combat effectiveness of his cavalry well.Ji Ling knew in his heart that although the [-] cavalry under his command were built with a lot of money, they were not considered elite.

Among the 500 cavalry, there are no more than [-] soldiers who can ride and shoot, and very few can shoot back, let alone hit the target accurately on a galloping horse.This kind of cavalry is only suitable for fighting in battle. If they are allowed to drive, chase, ride and shoot, it will definitely be a joke.

So Ji Ling hopes to use this opportunity to improve the combat effectiveness of his subordinates. The grassland is the best battlefield and the best training ground.There are bad weather, vast grasslands, countless horses, cattle and sheep, and ferocious beasts that may be encountered at any time. The most important thing is that there are fierce Huren cavalry on the grasslands, but there are also Huren's nemesis. Northern Army.

Ji Ling believed that with the friendship between his lord and the general, he would be able to recruit some of the elite cavalrymen of the northern border army to train his subordinates. Ji Ling had seen the combat effectiveness of those elite cavalrymen of the northern border army.

The cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army can charge, ride and shoot, drive and chase, and can also attack the city. Moreover, the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army has too many proud records.They have rich combat experience, the most ruthless fighting skills, and the bloodiness hidden in the bones of the Han people.

Sometimes, Ji Ling even felt that if his cavalry met [-] Northern Army cavalry on the battlefield, they would probably be defeated in less than an hour. It was not that Ji Ling looked down on his cavalry, but that he Can recognize the facts.

The predecessor of the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army was the Youzhou Army, and the Youzhou Army had fought against the barbarians in the frontier for many years. If we talk about the time when the army was formed, the history of the Northern Border Army can even count down for many years.

But what about the cavalry of the Huainan Army?It took less than half a year for the formation before and after. If all the [-] cavalry could gallop on their horses, Ji Ling would be thankful.Compared with the cavalry of the Huainan Army and the Northern Xinjiang Army, it is like a three-year-old child and a strong man, there is no comparison at all.

As for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they haven't given any news yet, but Gongsun Xu is sure to let them take the bait.No way, who told Gongsun Xu to have a large amount of cattle, sheep, horses and other supplies in his hands. Maybe Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the others still have scruples, but when others have already benefited, can they bear it?Will Gongsun Xu let them endure it?

The answer is obvious, Gongsun Xu will try every means to mobilize troops from them, no matter how Gongsun Xu's current official position is a general, he has the right to mobilize the world's troops, if anyone disobeys the order, he will be suspected of disobeying the imperial decree.Can Cao Cao and Yuan Shao do this kind of thing?

At this time, Gongsun Xu was discussing with Zhao Yun the plan of borrowing chickens to lay eggs. There are too many affairs in northern Xinjiang, and it is impossible for Gongsun Xu to do everything by himself. Otherwise, what would he want these capable subordinates to do? The next step is to hand it over to Zhao Yunlai.

Among the generals in northern Xinjiang, most of them have very high achievements in the use of cavalry, and among them, Zhao Yun and Yan Liang have the highest achievements.It's just that Zhao Yun is better at light cavalry long-range raids and continuous combat, while Yan Liang is good at large-scale cavalry group operations.

Yan Liang has been leading troops on the grasslands in the east of Xianbei, and he has shocked Xianbei. He has almost one-third of the cavalry in Gongsun Xu's hands. Moreover, there are horse farms and many nomadic tribes in the grasslands in the east of Xianbei. It can be said that as long as Gongsun Xu If he is willing, he can form a large number of cavalry in the eastern grasslands of Xianbei in a short period of time.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Xu kept Yan Liang in the eastern grasslands of Xianbei. At that time, Xu Rong was going to lead troops to guard Sanhan, and the only person who could be sent out by Gongsun Xu was Yan Liang. Fortunately, Yan Liang did not disappoint Gongsun Xu for so many years. .

"Based on the current speculation, how many cavalry do you think the princes can produce." Gongsun Xu looked at the map and asked, "These people must have a large number of troops in their hands, and there is no shortage of elites. It's just that, except for Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, the rest It is absolutely impossible to send more than half of the cavalry."

"So what if they can send cavalry?" Zhao Yun said with a smile: "The cavalry they can send must undergo more than two months of training before they can enter the grassland. Except for Lu Bu, I don't like the cavalry sent by other people. , Moreover, the discipline of the cavalry under Lu Bu's command is also a problem, and there is no guarantee that they will not secretly attack those tribes who want to take refuge in us on our territory."

"This should not be a problem. Lu Bu may not be able to consider these things, but Zhang Liao will definitely consider them." Gongsun Xu replied: "Furthermore, since Lu Bu's subordinates set off from the Bingzhou area, I don't believe that he would attack his hometown. In that case , His Bingzhou elite will definitely complain.

It is not easy to conduct inspections in the grassland this time. How many troops and elites do you need? You can put forward any other requirements now. I will find a way to meet your requirements. After all, this is the first inspection of this kind. "

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yun replied: "The elite of the northern border army cannot be mobilized too much, otherwise it will be contrary to our original intention. How about this, I will take away all [-] white-robed soldiers, and forget about the selection of the frontier army. They must stay. Prepare for emergencies.

The subordinates of my princes should not be less than 5, so I must have at least 5000 cavalry in addition to the white-robed army. This time is another excellent opportunity for experience. Select 5000 people from the army, mobilize 1 people from the previous servant army, and then select [-] people from the existing Black Mountain Army and Bingzhou to form cavalry.

In this case, the combination of recruits and veterans is still reasonable. Even if there are any emergencies, nearly [-] veterans can still handle everything. I can't take care of it. "

"Hehe, your request is really low. If Yide, I'm afraid you will ask me for [-] picks and [-] veterans." Gongsun Xu shook his head and smiled: "I will send you another [-] guards , you have to train them as officers."

"Hahahaha, Yide is going to wipe out all the tribes in the grassland, and I'm just going to inspect and attack those tribes who have enmity with us or don't obey the management of my northern border army. There is no need to bring so many people." Zhao Yun haha He laughed loudly and said, "With my lord's thousand personal guards, it will be easier for me to manage the troops. Thank you, lord."
