Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 792 Accumulating Strength 2
"Keep an eye on Yuan Shao." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "It's not suitable to do anything yet. Although the training of 60 recruits has been completed, our front line in northern Xinjiang is too long, and this amount of troops is simply not enough. After the streamlining of troops and administration last year, only There are only 20 troops, of which 20 are distributed in Sanhan, Liaodong, and the eastern grasslands of Xianbei, [-] are distributed in the grasslands of central Xianbei, the Great Wall and the Hetao area, [-] are in various naval bases, and the remaining [-] are distributed in Jizhou , Hedong and other places.

Looking at it this way, our army is actually spread out widely. Since the battle line is too long, once something happens, we have to take into account the overall interests. It is difficult to respond in a short time, so we must be careful.

Now that the [-] new troops are going to be stationed on the northern defense line after training, our army doesn't have many troops to spare.How is the grassland warrior Yan Liang recruited in the Mobei area going?The plan of using prairie cavalry to garrison our army should be implemented as soon as possible. This will have the effect of increasing income and reducing expenditure. We can use half of the military expenditure to feed more troops. "

"On the grassland, as long as there is food and weapons, enough troops can be recruited in a short period of time." Gao Shun replied: "At present we have recruited 24 people, and Wen Heng is starting to select the young and strong. 15 war horses have been transported to the east pasture, and we also have [-] war horses to be transported there.

The cavalry is the advantage of my grassland, but it still takes time to train the elite cavalry. If these 20 cavalry want to become the elite of my northern border, I am afraid there is still a long way to go. Just 15 people, my lord, isn't it too hasty to recruit troops now? "

"Is it too hasty?" Gongsun continued with a smile: "You also said that the training of elite cavalry takes time. Moreover, in the past two years, disasters have continued on the grasslands, and many herdsmen have been cut off. I must find a way out for them. If Otherwise, we have to face hordes of horse bandits, and our cavalry may fall into the quagmire of bandits.

It is not impossible to help them directly, but you also know that if we make them think that we are responsible for supporting them, then we will be in trouble.What you said just now is quite correct. On the grassland, as long as there is food and weapons, enough troops can be recruited quickly. In fact, this is what I thought, heh heh, we have this advantage.

Now I have a Nanyang granary, and there is endless barley and rice in northern Xinjiang, and the expedition team has brought back high-yielding potatoes, corn and other crops. At this time, do you think it is necessary for me to put so much grain in the granary to get moldy?Hehe, of course it is not necessary. Instead of wasting it, it is better to use these grains to train a powerful cavalry.

In addition, our army has opened up enough granary areas in the northeast area. The black soil there is fertile, and the grain planted is high-yielding. It can be said that our army already has more than enough grain.Since many problems can be solved with food, why don’t we make good use of it? Grassland herdsmen want very simple food and clothing. If they want food and clothing, I will give them food and clothing. However, after eating and clothing, they have to pay a price .

My northern Xinjiang is now a big melting pot. The Han people, Xianbei people, Huns, and other ethnic groups overseas, etc., can’t always rely on the children of the Han family to support this sky. The Huns and Xianbei have become history. We must Start recruiting the Huns and Xianbei army to join the army, speed up this smelting plan, and don't let northern Xinjiang be held back by internal conflicts.

You must have a strong self before you can defeat a strong enemy. The most difficult time has passed. When we were poor, many troops had to fight with foreign cavalry with crude weapons, and they might have to starve , Ha ha, now we are free from the troubles and worries of food and grass in the north, then, what else can stop us? "

"These newly recruited cavalry were originally prairie warriors, and with the equipment of our army, it is not difficult to make them elite." Gao Shun nodded and said, "It's just that the reason why our army is strong is not only the equipment and the quality of individual soldiers In addition, the more important thing is that it comes from the coordination of formations. One hundred cavalry of our army can cooperate with each other to achieve the effect of five hundred cavalry. This is our strongest point.

On the other hand, the prairie cavalry, their formation was only a collective charge, they couldn't even put out an arrow formation, and they were even more swarmed when they fled.Except for cavalry and shooting, the prairie cavalry has no advantage in front of us.It's just that the practice of this formation will take a long time, my lord thinks

;;To what extent these newly recruited cavalry should be trained. "

"What we want is not a universal warrior." Gongsun Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "The newly recruited cavalry mainly practice light cavalry tactics such as riding and shooting, retreating and blocking, and more difficult cavalry tactics such as charge and siege. There should not be many siege battles and positional battles, I just want them to be in charge of field battles.

Besides, do you really think that I will rely on them to help me conquer the world?Hehe, my elites from Northern Xinjiang rested for a year, and there are countless elites. When it comes time to fight a tough battle, our elites from Northern Xinjiang must take the lead, but I don’t want the elites from Northern Xinjiang to be delayed by some trivial things, such as patrolling the grasslands and guarding the frontiers. We can assign tasks appropriately.

In addition, the plan to train the elite can also be implemented, in previous years. "

"The matter of military training is on the right track." Gao Shun continued: "Then can we attack properly? Since Yuan Shao wants to make small moves, then we can preemptively strike. Qingzhou is actually suitable for the development of naval forces. My lord seems to want to Those Qingzhou, build a naval base based on the land of Beihai."

"It's not yet time, let's continue to wait." Gongsun Xu shook his hand and said: "The fight in the south is going on, we can see that Yuan Shao is not so easy to bully, we rested for a year, and he also rested for a year In [-], even if we rush to conquer Qingzhou, we may lose many troops by then.

Let's talk about it after the recruits are trained. By the way, is there any news from Meng Qi now? He led the army to attack the Western Regions, and now he should have some results. If he can get through the Silk Road, that would be a good thing.However, Meng Qi sometimes does things too hotly, which is not good, so send someone to watch him.

Although it is only an ally relationship now, but one day I will subdue them. Don’t relax about the information from Xiliang. The road can also lead us to the world.

The world is so big, we must take a look, there are still many things in this world that we don’t know, there are also powerful countries in other places, there are large fertile lands that no one has conquered, we still have a long way to go , do you know what I want? "

"My lord's ambition is something that the general can't guess." Gao Shun replied respectfully, "The general is willing to remove all obstacles for the lord."
