Chapter 991 Extra: How did you beat Gongsun Zan back then, and how do you beat Ertian now

"Kill! This outpost fort dared to resist the army. After breaking through, they killed them all! Take away all the food, grass and supplies! All the walls are demolished and all the houses are burned!"

"We should try our best to make a big fuss! Even if we can't directly break through the Great Wall, we should spread the surface, so that Liu Bei feels he is attacked everywhere!"

The senior officials led the 60,000 three-tribe coalition forces to show off their power along the Great Wall outside Zhangjiakou. Within one or two days, many Han people outside the pass were cleared.

Over the years, as border affairs gradually subsided, the Han people were also greedy for the benefits of the grassland, and they came out of seclusion to graze and trade, and gradually formed settlements of the Han people.

The natural development form of the private economy cannot be completely based on the strict division between military and politics. There are always border residents who are greedy for interests and organize production and life according to local conditions. However, with the restart of the war, these people will naturally suffer a catastrophic loss.

In addition, although the senior official was not sure to break through the Great Wall directly in Zhangjiakou, it was still easy for him to detour and find an opportunity to go deep south of the Great Wall in dangerous places to grab a chance.

As we all know, the Great Wall has not been unbreakable since ancient times, because it is too long to garrison everywhere. As long as the attacking party chooses a point, it can always break through.

The true meaning of the Great Wall is more important in delaying the nomadic peoples' continued deepening without any scruples, and also buying time for the Han people to mobilize their troops to cut off the enemy's return and limit the enemy's mobility.

Once the nomadic grassland was too deep, the Han army reacted and blocked the dangerous place behind it again, closed the door and beat dogs to offset the nomadic mobile mobility of the nomadic war, and the nomadic civilization was halfway cold.

That's why they always try to stop robbing, and they take the initiative to retreat before the Han people reacted to block the gap.

The situation is the same now. In just two days, the senior officials found some gaps on the east and west sides of Zhangjiakou, and went deep into the Great Wall for nearly a hundred miles, raging several county towns.

If there are visitors who travel back in 2021, they will definitely be surprised: How can this method be similar to the Battle of Genghis Khan in "Age of Empires 4"?

In that game, there is a battle achievement, which is to first kill some troops outside the Great Wall Pass of Zhangjiakou, then learn from one's mistakes and gain wisdom. The remaining troops will traverse the road and cross the mountains, bypass the pass and go straight to Huailai behind it, and then go to Juyong Pass.

It can only be said that from ancient times to the present, the geographical environment of the area of ​​Daijun in the Upper Valley has determined that the troops who seek war from here have similar routes.

September 30th is another sunny day, which is very suitable for cavalry to maneuver on a large scale without the worries of autumn rain and mud. Early in the morning, the high-ranking officials received urgent reports from the front.

"Report to General! Zhang Fei, the Han Taiwei, has led his army to launch a counterattack!"

The high-ranking official's expression calmed down and asked solemnly: "Oh? Zhang Fei took the south line of the Great Wall and went west to Ning County? Is this going to block the retreat of our army's detours and crossing mountains? If so, let the looted troops in Ning County retreat north immediately, and don't be blocked by Zhang Fei within the Great Wall."

The scout shook his head: "No, Zhang Fei did not go to the back road of Duning County, but rushed here."

The high-ranking official suddenly seemed to hear a joke: "Survey on me? Our army is known as 300,000 yuan. How many people are there?"

Although Yuan Shao is a traitor, he still knows that he is a Han person. You are actually surrendering to Hu Gou. Could it be that Yuan Shao’s girl was fucked by a Hu Gou back then, you bastard! If Yuan Shao lived and knew your true bloodline, he would definitely want to strangle you bastard to death!”

The high-ranking official was scolded very much, but he also knew that he had to calm down at this time, so he also sent a lot of scolding players to scold him:

"Zhang Fei, our wise generals, will not show off the courage of ordinary men with you. Our army of 300,000 people, even if the army is not as good as yours, it will be easy to siege you to death!

We kill you like killing a dog! But I can't bear to waste my life. You have to go to this dangerous place, and after our army divides its troops, you will all get Dai County and Shanggu. You iron cavalry are just water without a source and tree without roots, and you can starve to death!"

It is not easy for Zhang Fei to directly use cavalry to attack the mountains and camps. After testing for a day, Zhang Fei put his car and horse down and said bluntly that he would return to defense along Qiushui and block and annihilate the senior officials who had burned, killed and looted along Qiushui Great Wall. It is obvious that the senior officials will not be saved at that time!

Zhang Fei did what he said, leading 20,000 cavalrymen and cooperated with the infantry stationed in various places in his headquarters to pull the net and break the road, "surround the points and attack the aid". Although he was unable to break through the main business of the high-ranking officials for the time being, he was able to cut off all external enemy troops trying to return to the main business.

The two sides fought a chaotic battle in Shanggu County. The high-ranking officials did burn, kill and loot some places, but they did not have time to break through the city, mainly raging in the countryside.

There are also quite a few partial divisions who were closed by Zhang Fei, and several cavalry of thousands of people were blocked and annihilated. The senior officials were not worth the gains.

However, after this incident, Zhang Fei finally found it difficult to fully understand the virtuality and reality of the high-ranking officials, because the scenes are indeed the high-ranking officials bloom everywhere, with obvious damage and disruption everywhere.

As for Pang Tong beside Zhang Fei, he didn't understand it for a while, it was not an intellectual matter, but a high-ranking official was too willing to spend a lot of money. He actually divided many troops, and each of them was at least tens of thousands of people entering the pass to burn and destroy. If Zhang Fei blocked him, he would suddenly suffer thousands of casualties.

Who can lure the enemy to use a feint attack? He really used tens of thousands of real losses to use it? This made Pang Tong unable to solve it all at once. Pang Tong was very considerate of accounting costs.

Therefore, Zhang Fei could not block the news that the high-ranking army of officials broke through the Great Wall. It was soon spread to Luoyang, and it was almost passed by Pegasus messenger who traveled 500 miles a day to pass it back. It seemed understandable that the Luoyang court was temporarily misled and misjudged.

Even if Li Su's foresight was foresight, it would be useless in this situation. After all, Li Su was good at diplomatic politics and calculating people's hearts in his previous life. He was not Li Su's expertise at all. In this regard, he was able to rely mainly on knowing history.

After the unification of the world, military historical knowledge was no longer used at all. Li Su had no vision of God and could not see which point the nomadic Tartars would choose the real breakthrough direction from which point on the border thousands of miles away.

...

"Before I have attacked those barbarians, they dare to attack first?"

When the news reached Luoyang, Liu Bei, who had become a little arrogant in recent years, was also truly shocked.

There is no way, and it is impossible to blame Liu Bei for being arrogant. After all, the great cause is completed, the world is returned to its heart, and all the princes are destroyed. Over the years, everyone will expand, which is very reasonable.

After a brief shock, Liu Bei of course immediately summoned his ministers and took the opportunity to announce the full battle against the remnants of the Xianbei Wuhuan and the Yuan clan in advance.

There were originally some frugal and polite officials in the court. Before this happened, they advised Liu Bei to tighten his belt and save more money, and then rest with the people after digging the canal.

But this happened, and I heard that some counties in Shanggu County and Dai County were burned, killed and looted by Hu Gou. Who dared to show the slightest conservative sentiment of surrenderism and defeatism?

Sure enough, Liu Bei's request was even more unified than the voting results after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in history. All the people agreed to move into the wartime system in order to fight against the Xianbei, and all parties should contribute to the front line. Industrial, commercial, agricultural taxes and corvee also all moved into the wartime.

However, after setting the tone, the court officials still had their own opinions on how to mobilize troops and generals in the future and spoke freely.

Most people feel that the distant water cannot quench the nearest thirst, so there is no need to transfer the main force of the imperial court stationed in Heluo, Central Plains, because it is already early winter, and dragging it down further. For the Hu people on the grassland, they go south to avoid the cold, but for the Han army, they suffer from the north.

The large-scale counterattack against the Hu people has always occurred in the warm summer and facilitated deep into the north.

Winter can only be a defensive stage in the defensive counterattack. There are too many troops on the front line but they can't do things. If they don't use so much defensive battle, it will lead to a significant increase in logistical pressure. There will be hundreds of thousands of people eating in the bitter and cold place. In the first half of the year, when the summer offensive is in the way, the loss of food transport on the road will have consumed a lot of national strength.

Therefore, the suggestions of the valuable faction are mainly to move among the existing troops in the northern border, while the main force of the imperial court in the hinterland of the Central Plains was only limited to tens of thousands of people going north to check for omissions and gaps, as a way to deal with sudden outbreaks.

After hearing this opinion, Liu Bei asked Li Su and Zhuge Liang in Yecheng. They also felt that this strategy was more "sustainable" and was conducive to the counterattack next year, so they also suggested that Liu Bei accept it.

After all, retracting the fist to accumulate strength is to make it stronger next time you hit it again. The defense in winter will use up the momentum. How can you use up your strength when you counterattack next summer?

What the man wants this time is not just to repel.

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to leave his defense zone immediately, move eastward, and join forces with Zhang Fei to defend.

At the same time, 50,000 reinforcements originally in charge of the center were dispatched from Luoyang. Leaded by Gao Shun, they first marched north to Jizhou, and dispatched by Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of Jizhou's final stage of the canal project. At that time, the troops could be sent to block the door according to the changes in the battle situation on the Youzhou front line.

...

After Liu Bei made these arrangements, the Han army of course took action as soon as possible. The high-ranking officials who were swollen and fat were almost on the front line of Shanggu with thousands of casualties and fleeing, and they stood there to maintain his face of "large people and people taking all their money".

Guan Yu and other troops began to dispatch and assemble in Shanggu. The main forces of the Youzhou Han army, which were originally stationed in Jixian County, Youzhou Prefecture, also moved closer to Zhang Fei. Some suddenly went to Zhuolu (Huailai), and some blocked the entrance to Juyongguan. Obviously, they did not give the high officials a chance to touch the Yanshan defense line and approached Ji County.

However, the sacrifices of high-ranking officials are not worthless. He used his real heavy losses to pull out a gap in the Han army's positioning.
