Chapter 1124 Double Considerations at the Tactical and Strategic Level

Wen Qin obviously had a little complaint about Cao Liang's order. Originally, the Bingzhou cavalry besieged Lu Longsai this time was very likely to wipe out the Yuwen Xianbei, but now he had to give up the opportunity at his fingertips. Watching the Xianbei people leave, Wen Qin felt uncomfortable.

On the battlefield, any soldier is eager for victory. The most uncomfortable thing is naturally to watch victory stay from the gap between his fingers. Although Wen Qin also knew that Cao Liang's orders should not be disobeyed, and he also faithfully executed Cao Liang's orders, this does not mean that Wen Qin has no reservations.

Relatively speaking, Deng Ai was very calm. He knew very well that the reason why Cao Liang made such a decision must be the result of Cao Liang's careful consideration. This was considered strategically. As military commanders on the front line, they must strictly follow Cao Liang's orders, and tactical needs must always be subject to strategic arrangements.

This battle that lasted from Lingzhi to Lulongsai was actually an encounter, not in Cao Liang's plan and arrangement. After the Youzhou army retreated to Linyu Pass, the counties in western Liaoning were empty. Cao Liang sent three major cavalry to quickly march into the counties in western Liaoning in order to quickly take over, stabilize the situation in western Liaoning, investigate the chaos and suppress bandits, stabilize the people's hearts, and restore the order in Youzhou to a normal state.

However, the Xianbei people's entry into the subway suddenly disrupted Cao Liang's normal military deployment. Deng Ai's Yueqi Camp first met the Xianbei people of Yuwen. However, Deng Ai handled it very well. He first calmly dealt with the Xianbei people, and then waited for an opportunity to fight back. He completely defeated Yuwen Mohuai outside Lingzhi City, forcing him to escape from Lulongshe.

Wen Qin came from behind with reinforcements. He followed the situation and went around Lu Longsai and formed a front-and-back attack on Lu Longsai with Yueqi Camp, making Yuwen Mohuai, who fled to Lu Longsai, feel anxious.

If the Yuwen team could be wiped out, it would be a relatively satisfactory result. However, Cao Liang received news that there were more than 30,000 cavalrymen in the Lu Long Pass alone, and the centipede insects were hidden. They died without being stiff. In fact, these 30,000 people were just scared by Deng Ai's archers and cavalrymen and did not dare to have the idea of ​​fighting again.

But this is not enough. If the Xianbei people really fall into a desperate situation, they will still burst out with power beyond ordinary people.

The Hu people on the grassland are born to be extremely fierce, and their combat capabilities are incomparable to the Han people. If they are forced to force them to death and then live, these Xianbei soldiers will be unstoppable if they fight to the death.

Although the Bingzhou Army besieged Lulongsai and dispatched two major cavalry battalions, one was in front of the mountain and the other behind the mountain, and was blocked by Lulongsai. The Yueqi Camp and the Xiaoqi Camp could only fight each other.

Relatively speaking, the pressure faced by the Yueqi Camp is less, because the Xianbei people cannot break through in this direction. If they want to return to the frontier, they can only break through the camp of the Xiaoqi Camp, so the Xiaoqi Camp must face the siege of the 30,000 or even more Xianbei people alone.

This may refer to the reinforcements of the Xianbei people. Yuwen Mohuai has not broken through for a long time, obviously he has to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. If the Xianbei people's reinforcements arrive, the Cavalry Camp will be more difficult to deal with this situation.

Cao Liang did not doubt the combat ability of the Xiaoqi Camp, and any battle would be damaged. If the power of the Xiaoqi Camp was really used to block the Xianbei soldiers who had been red for several times more than his eyes, it would be impossible to have no casualties. Even if the Xiaoqi Camp could finally stop the Xianbei people and not allow them to escape, the Xiaoqi Camp would definitely pay a very heavy price.

This result is obviously not what Cao Liang wants. Any battle that can fight against the enemy is not what Cao Liang hopes. On the battlefield, you can attack the enemy while protecting yourself. This is the best strategy.

Therefore, Cao Liang was not very optimistic about the Lu Longsai siege, so when he knew about it, he immediately approved the four words and opened the net!

Cao Liang knew that the situation on Lu Longsai was very urgent, and Yuwen Mohuai might break through at any time. According to Wen Qin's current arrangement, he had a plan to fight the Xianbei people to fight the battle at all costs. Therefore, Cao Liang did not have time to write the content in detail. He only wrote four words and immediately handed it over to the messenger and sent it to the front line of Lu Longsai at a speed of 100,000. It is necessary to pass the orders before the two sides started fighting to avoid unnecessary losses.

Of course, this is also a matter that is considered only from the tactical level. In fact, from the strategic level, Cao Liang has a deeper thought.

After the Xianbei unified the grasslands, it had replaced the position of the Huns and became the new grassland overlord. That is to say, for a long time in the future, the Xianbei people will become the enemy of the Central Plains dynasty. If Cao Liang remembers correctly, the dynasties established by the Xianbei people among the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms will almost reach half, and the Northern Wei established by the Tuoba tribe will eventually return to the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms. Therefore, the Xianbei people will become the nightmare of the Central Plains people in the future.

Of course, Cao Liang hopes that in his lifetime, he can completely solve this major problem. Although from the immediate interests, eliminating the Yuwen Xianbei tribe can indeed weaken the power of the Xianbei people, it has destroyed the biological chain on the grassland.

The Xianbei in the Eastern Region has never been unified. The Murong tribe, Yuwen tribe and Duan tribe have three-legged equilibrium. They have always maintained a delicate balance. If the Yuwen tribe is destroyed this time, this balance will be broken instantly, and the remaining territory and people of the Yuwen tribe will soon be annexed by other tribes.

In terms of strength, the Duan Xianbei is the weakest, so after the Murong tribe annexed the Yuwen tribe, it will quickly become the overlord of the Eastern Xianbei and dominate the eastern grasslands.

If a new powerful force emerges in the northern part of Youzhou, the situation in Youzhou will become even more unbearable. Cao Liang can only draw out a considerable number of people to deploy defenses on the front line of the Great Wall, strictly guard against each other, and carry out strategic defense. This will inevitably lead to a shortage of troops and seriously affect the plan of the Central Plains of Nanding.

Therefore, from a strategic perspective, the Yuwen tribe cannot be easily eliminated, and the net is opened and the tiger returns to the mountain. Although it seems to be the loss of the Bingzhou army, it can allow the Eastern Xianbei to continue to be in a dispute and consume the strength of their tribes in the process of killing each other. In this way, their strength will only become weaker and weaker, and it will be difficult to pose a threat to Youzhou again.
