Chapter 633: Longing For
Gao Yuan returned to Pioneer City, still feeling depressed. He Lanyan followed him to the Hetao. He knew that she had something in mind. This woman had followed her brother around since she was a child. She spent most of her life on a war horse. For her, the battlefield is no different from ordinary life. The war that ordinary people think they should avoid has an extraordinary attraction for her.
This is a woman who can't take any time off and can't live a peaceful life.
But now her identity is different. She is not only the little princess of the Helan clan, but also an important link between the Xiongnu and the Zhengdong Mansion. More importantly, she is his wife. As a man, Gao Yuan naturally cannot I hope that my woman will still hold a knife and go to the battlefield to fight and fight for her life.
War is a man's business. Even if he comes from an era of highly developed civilization, this fact remains unchangeable in Gao Yuan's heart.
After more than a year of detaining He Lanyan in Jishi City, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. This time, she brought four hundred black-clad guards who had been personally trained to try their skills in Dayan City. Not only did it not quench her thirst, but it also aroused her desire for war.
Xu Yuan was her favorite general. He Lanyan definitely did not dare to go to Xu Yuan first, but went to Yan Peng to lobby. However, she did not want to think about who Yan Peng was. He was the former princess of Hejian County. , the eldest son of Yan Shenghao, who was the deputy political advisor of Zhengdong Mansion. He had a good family background and guessed his own thoughts very accurately. Although he also coveted He Lanyan's four hundred black-clad guards, he would never agree to He Lanyan's offer. Require. It's a shame that Xu Yuan seems to be very wise, but in fact he is not. He Lanyan fooled him around, and now it's a done deal. If I force He Lanyan back, I'm afraid the backyard will burst into flames.
He Lanyan's temperament is really going to cause a quarrel. I really can't do anything about it. That's all, I can only warn Xu Yuan. You must protect him well, nothing will happen to He Lanyan.
Feeling uncomfortable, I no longer bothered to go out to the city for inspections. Instead, I stayed in my room and sorted out the documents sent from Jishi City. Suddenly, the afternoon passed like this.
It got dark very early, and the depressed Gao Yuan couldn't help but drink a few more drinks during dinner. The hateful Xu Yuan, as the general stationed in Pioneer City, actually hid far away and didn't show up all afternoon. When someone came to ask, this guy actually left the city and crossed the river to inspect Chen Bin's station.
The bullshit inspection was clearly meant to hide from him, for fear that he would settle accounts later and cause trouble for him.
The stall has become bigger and everyone has their own ideas. It is not as good as before when they were soldiers. Sun Xiao and the others obeyed his words, and with a look from him, they knew what they were thinking. How is it like now?
Gao Yuan shook his head, this is the price of development, now the Northern Field Army is facing Donghu,
The First Army and the Second Army are at the forefront, and it is understandable that the subordinate generals are trying every means to strengthen their own strength in order to make a decisive contribution in the coming war.
Thinking of Sun Xiao, Gao Yuan's heart couldn't help but move from this battle in Dayan City. It fully shows that Sun Xiao's lack of ability to grasp the overall situation, as the headquarters commander of a group army. Sun Xiao lacks a lot, should he change his general?
I thought about it for a while. Shaking his head, putting this thought aside,
He Lanxiong is irreplaceable among the four field armies under his command, because he needs to erect the Hun flag of He Lanxiong to attract more Huns to his side. Besides, with Meng Chong as his partner, he can rest assured that from now on So far, the effect is excellent. Although He Lanxiong is not good at large group operations, fortunately he accepts advice with false promises, and the planning of large-scale operations is completely left to Meng Chong. This gives Meng Chong control over the Eastern Field Army. His strength is even stronger than that of He Lanxiong, the justifiable commander of the group army. The two restrained each other and made a perfect pair.
As for Ye Chong and Ye Zhen, both of them are from Ye family generals. They have profound knowledge, a strong sense of the overall situation, and their own skills are also strong. They can be regarded as their own retainers, and their loyalty cannot be doubted. After the cleanup is completed, When Donghu plotted to seize Langya and other places, Ye Chongye's true identity was a loud slogan.
Although Sun Xiao is not capable enough, he is the leader of the civilian generals under his command. Yan Haibo, infantry, and Naha, although they belong to different armies now, there is no doubt that they are all headed by Sun Xiao. He cannot let these be cold. human heart. Although Sun Xiao is slightly less capable, he can help him cover up this fact now that he is in charge of the Northern Army Group, so let him sit in Dayan City and still do his old job. After he captured Donghu, he asked him to sit in Dayan City and manage Hetao and part of Liaodong area for him.
I can rest assured about Sun Xiao's loyalty. Giving him the granary he planned will make people no longer worry. Moreover, after taking Liaodong and expanding his power outwards, the enemy will not be too strong, and he will not be too strong. Should be able to do the job.
Donghu, the top priority is to conquer Donghu! Thinking of this, Gao Yuan's head couldn't help but feel a dull pain. Yu Wenke returned in defeat. Thorpe, the leader of Donghu, was furious. He deprived Yu Wenke of all his posts, made him idle, and appointed Yan Qi as the leader of the Hetao camp. The general assembled several units of nearly 50,000 cavalry and prepared to enter the Hetao again. What gave Gao Yuan a headache was that among the 50,000 cavalry, there were as many as 5,000 palace guards.
In the entire Donghu, there are only 30,000 palace guards. In addition to the 20,000 guarding Helin, another 5,000 are stationed in the area between the white mountains and black waters, the origin of Donghu's power.
It seems that Thorpe has really started to deal with him seriously this time, and his current Hetao troops have no advantage. The entire Northern Army Group now has only about 30,000 people. Among them, Xu Yuan has more than 15,000 people, Yan Peng has more than 10,000 people, and Sun Xiao's headquarters in Dayan City has only 5,000 people. And the cavalry is only more than 5,000 cavalry, and this has to count his own Red Guards and Helan Yan's more than 400 Black Guards.
In terms of strength, Donghu still has a great advantage. It is no wonder that everyone, including Tan Feng, is not optimistic about his expedition to the East.
Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing. Everyone wants to wait for his defeat to come and beat the dog when it's down.
Despite this, Gao Yuan was not discouraged at all. He was not without advantages in Hetao. Xianfeng City and Tongwan City had been like two nails stuck in Hetao. If the Donghu people wanted to defeat him, they would first have to fill these two cities with human lives. What's more, there is a Liaohe River in front of the two cities. If you want to cross the river, wait for the river water to turn red.
Compared with the focus on the west bank of the Liaohe River, on the east bank, the expeditionary army adopted the strategy of mixing sand. There was a fortress every ten miles, with dozens to a hundred soldiers stationed inside. There were not many people, but the weapons were the best. This was Gao Yuan's strategy on the east bank. If Yan Qi wanted to completely control the east bank, he had to remove these fortresses one by one, and the cost of removing these fortresses would surely make him heartbroken.
These soldiers on the east bank were actually abandoned. Their only role was to consume the Donghu's forces. Fighting on the plains, it might take five to ten infantrymen to exchange for one cavalryman of the other side, but with fortresses and sharp weapons, one infantryman could even exchange for the lives of several cavalrymen. This was a good deal.
He had deployed 3,000 troops on the east bank, and Chen Bin, a subordinate of Xu Yuan, was in unified command. He believed that with Chen Bin's ability, he would not fail to see the mystery inside, but he took the task without hesitation. He was indeed a man of character. If he completed the task well this time, he could be promoted.
Gao Yuan felt that as his status became higher and higher, his heart became harder and harder. He had casually put the lives of 3,000 soldiers on the gambling table, betting that they could consume more Donghu cavalry and deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
He rubbed his aching temple. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Now he could finally deeply understand this sentence. For the 3,000 garrisons on the east bank, the only thing he could do was to send his cavalry to support their operations at the right time. With the existence of the first bridge, he could freely enter and exit the east and west banks.
This year, Yan Qi was too late to launch an offensive. He was lucky to be able to set up the Hetao Camp this year. Donghu was just founded, and he needed a lot of time to integrate the armies from various tribes. After the spring, the two sides would compete.
Thinking of the war last year, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing. He was much farther away from the Hetao Plain, but by the beginning of next spring, he would be able to be self-sufficient in food and no longer need long-distance supplies. Jishi City only needed to transport enough weapons to him, which greatly reduced the transportation pressure of Jishi City.
Compared with himself, Yan Qi's logistics completely required long-distance transportation. The money and food consumed in this process, I don't know how long the current Donghu can last.
Thorpe now realized his determination to seize the Hetao Plain, but it was too late. He could delay, but the Donghu people couldn't afford it. Every day the war was stalemate, the balance of the war would tilt towards him.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel proud again. Most people take one step at a time, while people with vision take one step at a time and look three steps ahead. As for himself, he takes one step at a time and looks ten steps ahead. Naturally, he will have the upper hand. Now he is a little impatient to fight with Yan Qi. In Liaoxi City, he experienced Yan Qi's personal martial arts and crippled one of his hands. Now, he wants to experience his ability to command troops again, but he doesn't know if he deserves the title of the first general of Donghu. (To be continued)
